Chapter 19: When the War Begins
"Speed up the progress, speed up the progress, don't you lose the machinery and won't even build the most basic fortifications, speed up me, have you forgotten what you are guarding behind you, homeland, behind us is our homeland, once we let that group of betrayers rush in, our homeland will be destroyed, now speed it up for me."
The officers shouted loudly above, but the morale of the soldiers below was still not high, they couldn't understand the order at this moment, what betrayers betrayed, they hadn't been killed in the artillery fire before, it was also the information of the High Command, although the explanation at the moment sounded sufficient, but the number of changes in the news in a day also made them very confused.
What's more, all energy sources are locked, all heavy weapons are unusable, and communications can only be solved by roaring, so in such a situation, except for the very elite troops, other troops can be said to be well-trained to maintain order.
But the same Evaz did not bet his plans on these regular troops, just as the entire planet has a lone organization like the Betrayer, and as an army there are also direct guards that only obey his orders, a total of five brigades, including a heavy army, a special forces, and an engineer unit.
"Keep deploying, it's full of mines here, I don't even have the guts to step on it here."
It is true that heavy weapons have been locked out of use, but landmines, especially those for human use, are clearly not heavy weapons, and this is the time for these antiques to show their might.
In the past, due to the enemy's armor protection, it was basically useless against humanoid mines alone, but at the moment, armor cannot be used, they are physical terminators.
"There are also mines on the walls, and I don't believe they can fly right over."
With a hateful tone, Evaz commanded his men to set up the area where the beacons were hidden into fortresses. This is no longer where the beacon was originally placed, and even the location where the beacon was first stored is not known to the Betrayers.
After all, their target is traitors, and even they can't find them if the other party is just ordinary smuggling, plus the concealment of the beacon itself and the cover of some high-ranking officials.
But that was only before, and now the beacon location is clear, and after enough sacrifices, the betrayers have found it.
"Your sacrifice is worthwhile, the empire is with you, and the glory shines on you forever."
Imperton crouched next to a corpse and reached out to close his eyes while smoothing the hideousness on his face, he was dead, but he used his death to show the way forward for the betrayer.
It is true that with the current conditions of the Betrayers, they simply do not have enough equipment to track the signals emitted by the beacon, but there is one device that can be used when the energy source is locked, and that is humans.
All you need is a helmet to amplify the receiving signal, plus a person equipped with a communicator is a very good detector, after amplification, the mental attack will make the person crazy, completely crazy, and even kill himself, just need to determine where someone suddenly loses contact, then the vicinity of that location is the beacon.
After all, a beacon is just an automatic machine, and its own logical thinking program may be high, but it doesn't care about situations outside of the task.
Looking up from the ground to the ground, all they could see was a thick layer of ground, and just like their fate, they could not see the future.
But there is still a need to move forward, because there are other options than moving forward.
"My lord, Nick came back from this path."
On the right, that is the direction of the Kingdom Avenue, and in the Kingdom Avenue, there is only one place where beacons may be hidden - the Central Vault, after all, the rest of the Kingdom Avenue can only rely on temporary fortifications for defense, and the Central Bank itself is a huge fortification, as a qualified commander, the use of terrain is a compulsory course.
Of course, this is an absolutely unfavorable situation for the betrayer, as one of the largest banks on the planet, for the sake of safety, there are no sufficiently wide underground facilities within 300 meters around it, so that the toilets in this bank have always been a big problem, and the staff has complained that the number of toilets is not enough all year round.
But at the moment such conditions were bad news for the betrayers, who had to take to the ground and confront the enemy army head-on.
"There are no enemies in the two streets ahead, but there seem to be signs of alteration on the ground, possibly with mines."
Imperton frowned, there is no doubt that such an arrangement should be the arrangement after Evatz came here in person, this is a good thing, they can get more careful about the beacon through Evas, but it is also bad news, after all, from the current performance, Evaz is very serious.
"The structure is twisted, the quality is steel, strengthened, floating." Illya used her magic to distort parts of the air, giving them the quality of steel and the ability to levitate, creating a path that could ignore mines.
"What an exaggerated power."
Looking at this scene, Impelton said unconsciously, it is true that with their technology, they have a way to do the same, or even better, but that premise is the efforts of their entire civilization, but at this moment, a person, with individual strength, has reached this point.
But Illya didn't answer immediately, she looked down at her palm after all this, and after a long time she spoke, "It's not my power, it's not Einzberen's power, it's the guy's power." ”
To be honest, although she had long felt that there was a powerful power in this body, Illya was still surprised when she actually used it, the magic power in her body and a special power could be compared to before, and even more stable.
This is the power that is enough to inherit the Holy Grail, and it can be said that the entire Einzberen family has been able to show up to now, but the person who reproduces it has surpassed it by virtue of his personal level alone.
"Forward."
Impelton didn't care about Illya's confusion, what she needed was to move forward, keep moving forward until the task was finally completed, and that's it.
Ahead was a narrow passage, with two walls rising up to block the buildings that were supposed to be on either side of the street, and the walls were taller than the buildings, and it was a luxury to try to make a detour, or find cover, and there was no other way to break through here.
What's more, just by looking at the outcrop, countless bullets were fired, and it was obvious that the opposite side had become a strong fortification.
Seeing this, Impelton turned to Illya and asked, "How long can the defensive wall you made last?" ”
"If it's just maintenance, the time is infinite, but if there is an attack, according to your current firepower configuration, maintaining the road that can lead to the opposite side will only take 3 minutes at most."
"In other words, if the area of the barrier is reduced, it can be supported for a longer time."
"That's right, reducing the area will reduce the amount of damage I take, and I can use a more complex configuration in terms of defense, and the overall defense ability mana use efficiency will increase."
So, Impelton's eyes lit up as if she had made a decision, so she asked one last question.
"If you put a shield on a single person and use it as a limit to be able to resist the fire of our weapons for 1 minute, how much can you get anywhere?"
Strange question, but there is an answer, "Normal conditions can be attached to 12 people at a time, and then I need to rest for 30 seconds, if I ...... with all my strength"
"There's no need." Impelton shook his head, "Just attach it as usual." ”
"You are not necessary, I can project the Tai Chi sword technique to block ......"
"But with how many attacks you can block in your current situation, in such a situation, even if you really block it, how much combat power do you have left, how much combat power do you still have at that time, your strength must be used at critical moments, just like our lives."
"Why?" Pang Zhi spoke helplessly, although he already knew the answer before he spoke.
"Victory."
"We have no other way but to win."
"The third team is out of line, in a row of 12 people, and our allies will attach defensive positions to you, and you will have only one mission, to fill this minefield with your bodies." Impelton's voice was cold, but her words were even more chilling.
"There are other methods, and Pang Zhi and I will bomb and clear the mines."
"That's impossible, the other party will definitely pay attention to your attack, although you can't arrange heavy weapons, but you only need four Cygnus Type 2, which is enough to block your long-range attack, after all, minefield anti-bombardment is the foundation of the foundation."
Powerlessness, again, several people felt powerless, they were strong enough, but not strong enough to change the war.
Thereupon.
"Attack, the Empire is with you."
Explosions, punctures, rapid-fire lasers turn human bodies into corpses, and in the same way, gradually pave the way forward.
