About ten kilometers away from the altar where the forty-seventh space passage is located, a position close to the permanent defensive barrier is where the general headquarters of the forced closure of the space passage is located this time.

At this time, the whole operation had lasted four hours from the beginning to the present, and it seemed that the battle would last at least four more hours, judging by the situation in the commander-in-chief's tent.

"How's the battle going now?!" An old man standing on the main seat looked down at the battlefield situation formed by the projection spell, and asked the dozen or so staff officers standing beside him.

"We have already occupied the tenth high ground of the original target, and there are still five kilometers in a straight line from the forty-seventh space passage! ……”

"Tenth Highland is in a hurry! The Fifth Highland has sent reinforcements, but the effect is not yet known! ……”

"The temporary floating fleet is besieged, the situation is unfavorable, and it is temporarily impossible to advance! ……”

"From the beginning of the war to the present, our side has lost more than 3,000 people! ……”

Along with the reports of the staff officers one by one, the situation on the battlefield projected is constantly changing: on the hills directly marked with the number "ten", the red representing the enemy has changed to the blue representing our side, but it is shining, as if to explain its critical situation. The hills, also blue, marked as "fives", sent out a blue triangle across the red-painted earth towards the tenth highland......

In this way, the situation of the entire battlefield was clearly presented in front of all the commanding leaders, so that these commanders in the rear could also clearly understand the real situation of the battlefield.

Of course, the whole situation map has a very obvious time delay.

This is also natural, on the battlefield, it is impossible to really have real-time monitoring, any accident can happen, and some accidents do not even need to wait for the intelligence to be transmitted back will cause extremely significant consequences.

Therefore, there will be a field command post, and these commanders who stay in the rear will not issue any precise orders detailed to the brigade level except for issuing some big orders, such as the all-army charge and the whole army retreat.

Relying on delayed intelligence to strategize and tactics with others? If you want to find death, you don't bring this, it's just a gift of heads!

"More than 3,000 people...... Before this, our First Heavy Armored Corps had sacrificed more than 3,000 people after closing a full twenty-three spatial passages, but now it was actually just one morning, and more than 3,000 people were sacrificed? ……”

The old man sighed involuntarily and said in a low voice.

“…… For three days, at all costs...... Would it be best to close them all? ……”

However, as an old man who has been in the army all his life and has become extremely strong in his heart, he naturally knows that for war and battlefield, sighs and sentimentality are useless existences. In the blink of an eye, he cheered up again and said solemnly to his staff officers: "When will our support arrive!" ”

"According to the latest information, it will take about three more hours to ......," a staff officer said, wiping the sweat from his head with a hint of anxiety.

"Three hours?" The old man snorted and said, "If they arrive in three hours, they can collect the bodies for us!" ”

"Let them speed up! I'll just give them an hour of time! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, Deputy Commander! ”

That's right, this old man was temporarily promoted to the deputy commander of the first heavy corps under the Human King Banner after the former old general died on the battlefield.

"Also, give my order to go down and let half of the reserve go up! Now that we have been fighting, we must not let down the sacrifices of our departed companions! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, Deputy Commander! ”

As I said before, after converting to ~ the standard combat strength of human soldiers, the regular strength of the mainland side totals about 600,000.

Of course, the real strength of the mainland side is much more than that. Therefore, a regular soldier naturally refers to a presence that is a soldier by profession, a presence that has served for a long time in the troops of all races. But in addition to this, there are adventurers, civilians, and so on the mainland side.

Not to mention the human race, which has a huge difference in the combat power of a single race, civilians of other races can be regarded as soldiers when necessary.

And what is the necessary time? During the Holy War, of course!

Therefore, the actual strength of the mainland side, the counting unit is "10 million" from beginning to end!

As the first heavy regiment of the King Banner Army under the human flag, its number increased to about 30,000 through some means of transporting troops after the start of the counterattack campaign. Subsequent reinforcements and reservists are still being transported to this day.

It's just that these reinforcements can basically be regarded as recruits, and they are also the kind that are not fully equipped. In addition to the current order to maintain the stability of the war situation, the vast majority of commanders in chief of operations still rely more on regular soldiers when they begin to consider other tactics.

Hawkers, it's a recruit, but basically as long as you wave around the battlefield, you will be automatically accepted by the veterans.

However, there is really no way to prepare, even if Ilona is a trench, and the equipment of 600,000 regular soldiers is no problem, but tens of millions of alchemy armor, or millions of magic cannons, it is simply impossible to produce them from the alchemy workshop while completing the establishment of new soldiers.

Although it is said that the uninterrupted production for a hundred years, coupled with the complete modularization and universal design, even the number of magic cannons in stock on the entire continent is quite large.

At least, there are about 100,000 of them...... Should I say, is it really worthy of the Divine Trench Continent?

As a portable magic cannon used by a ten-person squad, although it is a bit complicated, in fact, such a small number is still acceptable. On the other hand, there is absolutely no room for alchemical creations, or giant structures, to be stocked.

That's the real thing, losing one of them will make everyone's hearts ache for a long time.

At this time, in the sky above this battlefield, a floating battleship is about to sink.

"Captain! The Gillimon's defensive barrier has been breached! Accompanied by the exclamation of the beautiful lieutenant on the bridge of the floating cruiser Czumea, everyone on the bridge, including the captain Olivier Langheim, looked at their right front in a daze, and the one that was sheltered in the center of the formation by other floating warships intentionally or unintentionally was wrapped in steel, almost all the space was used to carry countless war machines, and the floating cruiser was almost armed to the limit, surrounded by countless demons, the fragments of the defensive enchantment were shining in mid-air, It is as gorgeous and powerful as the closing song of a grand ball.

If there is a possibility that the Ksumia can continue to fight after the defensive barrier is destroyed, and even survive, the Gillimon, who has broken the defensive barrier, has been determined to be sunk.

As mentioned before, although the basic principles and construction of all floating battleships are exactly the same, according to the differences of each race, the different technology trees pointed out by each race, and the differences in the race-specific technology of each race, such as specific appearance, four-dimensional attributes, special abilities, etc., the floating battleships of each race are different.

The floating cruiser Gillimon, which is about to fall, is a floating warship belonging to mankind. Naturally, after the humans pointed out the technology tree of war machines, the floating battleship was armed with countless war machines, becoming the existence of one of the best firepower densities and projection speeds of all races.

But because of its own race, the hull of the Guillimon battleship has not been specially strengthened, and it has not carried enough strong people as crews, once the defensive barrier is broken, it means entering deck battles, even white-knives battles.

Basically, this one declares itself sinking.

Therefore, the battlefield survivability of human warships is much worse than that of floating warships of other races, although they are generally used as firefighters in mixed fleets and are protected by warships of other races, in each holy war, the number of warships lost will still directly exceed the losses of other races.

However, another advantage of human warships is that they can be produced quickly, so in the big picture, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Captain! Newsletter from the Gillimon! Although she didn't have to report to her lieutenant, Olivia could see a light flickering on the main mast of the battleship Gillimon that was so strong that it could not be ignored or stopped.

As a floating fleet that evolved from a surface fleet, it has left behind quite a lot of traditions, such as optical communication, which will probably not disappear at any time.

Olivia, who once aspired to become the captain of a floating battleship, is now in a hurry, but he has indeed fulfilled his wish, and naturally he has studied hard and can directly read optical communication.

However, after all, these things belong to the adjutant's responsibility, so Olivia did not interrupt and refuse his adjutant's translation: "'I, we, will, lead, lead, head, rush, forward!'" Cover, protect, ground, face, department, team, forward, advance! ’”

"Go all the way, comrade-in-arms!"

After a soft sigh, Olivia stood up and shouted an order to all the operators on the bridge: "Turn left five degrees!" Adjust your course! Then the height was reduced to three hundred meters! Cover the advance of the ground forces! Then follow our comrades and charge forward at full speed! Target: Space Passage 47! ”

Not only the Ksumya, but also the other warships of this temporary mixed fleet have their own movements, the battleships in the front have given way to the lane, and the battleships in the rear have begun to adjust their formation. In an extremely short period of time, even though they were surrounded by countless demons, these thirteen floating warships reformed into a sharp array and descended to a height of three hundred meters above the ground.

Its edge, naturally, is the short-lived Gillimon.

As if returning to the past, the Gillimon burst out with twice as much firepower as before, and on the eve of its sinking, it finally gave up its so-called damage and durability, and used its hull and firepower to force its way forward in the demonic siege, and open the way for friendly forces on the ground.

Along with the advance, countless debris fell from the hull, countless war machines were forced to be completely silent, and countless fighters died heroically at their posts.

But even so, the Gillimon did not stop its own progress, and as the last optical communication said, it would lead the charge.

At the cost of his own last moments.

In the end, the miracle did not happen, and the Gillimon sank anyway. After a short eruption, it was reduced to a pile of debris and sunk to the sea of sky under the siege of ground and flying demons.

At this time, there were still 4.8 kilometers away from the altar where the space passage was located.

Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest confusion, with an indescribable tacit understanding, in the next moment, a battleship regained the position of the Guillimon, leading the fleet that was still lined up to charge forward.

This is a dwarven warship, because it does not have the firepower of a human warship, so the Kimir simply uses its hull that has been forged and strengthened by every part of its ship, and forcibly charges from the demon horde. As for the cover task, it was naturally given to other warships.

After holding out for a short time, the Kimir sank, four .4 kilometers from the space passage.

The next one was the Orc Khan, which sank four kilometers from the space passage.

The next battleship is the Omega, which also belongs to the elven race, at a distance of three ~ seven kilometers.

……

After sacrificing ten ships, the ground forces finally pushed the battle line forward a kilometer in front of the altar.

But at this time, the distance of this kilometer is like a ravine.

Therefore, even relying on the sacrifice of a floating battleship, it will not be possible to advance the battle line more than a hundred meters away.

What's more, the last three warships of the floating fleet were already left at this time.

Damn it! Is that the end of it!

Everyone on the battlefield erupted in unwilling anger in their hearts, but it seemed that the situation had really reached the point of no return.

"Is it finally our turn?" Olivia tidied up, stood up and said, "Although our sacrifice may not have any meaning, if we retreat here, we will probably never forgive ourselves in the future." ”

"Therefore, in the name of Olivia Ronheim, the captain of the floating cruiser USS Czumea, I order that the Csumia lead the charge, at full speed and with full fire! Target: Space Passage 47! ”

"For the continent of Illona! Gentlemen, let us sacrifice ourselves in the path of the charge! ”

Fate is always impermanent, but that's why there are so-called miracles.

Just before the Ksumya became the sharp edge of the three warships and was about to start the desperate charge, a huge beam of light crossed between the battleship and the ground from the rear of the battlefield, hitting the demons who were crowded on the ground in front of the altar, and by the way, a large number of flying demons who followed the fleet to lower the altitude.

A battleship with incomparably gorgeous golden wings, emitting golden light, not so much a battleship, but a luxury yacht, Shi Shiran joined the battlefield with ten floating warships that also radiated light, but with different characteristics.

"Reinforcements? This is...... Celestials' floating battleship: USS Olympus! ”

At this time, five hours had passed since the start of the operation.
