Chapter Forty-Seven: A Sortie
In addition to the battlefield where the Sages fought fiercely, there was another battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place in Arano. That was the eastern wall of Arano, and the Holy Men of the Divine City rearranged the circle about two kilometers away from the city wall and launched an attack on Arano.
Since the pneumatic cannons were suppressing the attack led by the Holy Dominico of the Divine City, no additional pneumatic cannons were moved to this section of the city wall to deal with the newly built siege positions outside the city. Under the fireball attack of the opponent for nearly half an hour, the generator of the city shield in this direction is also about to reach its limit.
If the shield on this side is broken, then Wang Jiyuan's repair efforts will be in vain, the entire shield will collapse at the same time, and if one or two sages rush into the city at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At that time, Gabriel and his entourage had not yet been transmitted, and Chen Hansheng did not know Xiao Chen's news. In desperation, he had no choice but to make one decision: gather the remaining forces in the city and launch a surprise attack on the enemy positions outside the city.
The opponent's position must be guarded by the Sage, and once this team passes, it may be counterattacked by the Sage, and it can be said that it is a life and death. Therefore, everyone knows that this is a death squad.
The only remaining masters in the city are Master Gordon and Master Eder, who came to support from Riverbend New Town yesterday.
"It's a send-off. I refuse to participate in such an operation. Edel said, "As I said when I returned to the Tower of China, I joined you as an advisor. I can also contribute to many things, but I will not participate in actions where there is no chance of survival. ”
"You're a mage. There are many means to get out of the battlefield. Chen Hansheng said to Eder with a calm face.
"But the Sage has more means than I can do to stop me from doing that, and then kill me easily. Eder didn't budge, "No one will go to this kind of action!"
Chen Hansheng said with a cold face: "You'd better think about it, if you escape now, what kind of image will you leave in everyone's hearts, have you been a prisoner once, are you going to be a deserter again? After you die, do you want to nail yourself to the pillar of shame or write it on the monument?"
"It's so easy to call the shots. "Edel Dow.
"I'll go myself. Chen Hansheng said.
"I'll go too. Master Gordon followed.
"You're the mayor, that is, the city lord!" Eder couldn't understand Chen Hansheng's choice.
"If this city is destroyed, how can I be worthy...... , what kind of mayor am I?" Chen Hansheng asked rhetorically, he walked down the city wall first, and said without looking back, "You have to think about it yourself." ”
——————————————
As Chen Hansheng's team departed, Eder followed, and in addition to the two masters, Chen Hansheng also brought two mage classes, a melee platoon, and twenty snipers equipped with the Sage Hunter sniper rifles, and finally he also brought two artillery crews, and they carried an experimental cannon in their storage rings. It was the Magic Crystal Pneumatic Electromagnetic Cannon that he had temporarily taken out of Arano's arsenal lab, and it could be said to be an enlarged version of the Sage Hunter Sniper Rifle. This cannon is still being tested, but it is very powerful, and it is also prepared to deal with the Sage.
These snipers and gunners are Chen Hansheng's greatest confidence to dare to go out of the city.
The team of nearly eighty men had been obscured by Eder and Gordon by illusion, and advanced from the forest towards the position. This kind of concealment is actually relatively crude, although it can block the vision, but it cannot cover the hearing. Thankfully, the sound of cannons and fireballs exploding was everywhere, so their movement in the forest was not so noticeable. However, they don't need to get too close to the enemy formation, as long as they can get close to half the distance, so that Gordon, a master who is particularly good at breaking demons, has a chance to make a move.
Walking on the road, Eder said, "I didn't expect you, as the lord of a city, to do this yourself. ”
"If I'm not there, how can I be sure that you or anyone else will do your best to complete the task?"
"On the battlefield no one can guarantee anything. However, you can come out, which is something I admire a little. At least, you're the biggest reason why I'm willing to come along. Edel smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I've just thought about it, people like myself are not necessarily afraid of fighting against the Sage, nor are they necessarily afraid of death, but in fact, they are more afraid of being betrayed by their new master as a surrenderer." ”
"So, with my back, you're happy?"
"It's not okay to be willing. Just do your best. I was surprised by two things today, the first is that you will come out and lead the adventure on your own. The second thing is them. Eder pointed to the warriors who had followed Chen Hansheng, "I saw fear, fear, panic in their eyes, but I didn't see reluctance. They know very well what they are doing, and such an army is the most terrible. ”
Edel sighed softly, "If the soldiers of the Empire were like this during the war, maybe the outcome of the war would be very different." Even if it can't win, it won't let the empire decline to the point it is now. ”
"I just heard you say, 'I'm sorry for someone,' did you mean your wife? I heard that she died at the hands of those people in the City of God?"
"Yes. Chen Hansheng seemed reluctant to say more.
"So you want revenge?"
Chen Hansheng walked a few steps with his head bored before he said: "I used to be a soldier, and now I still retain that idea, everything I do has a tactical justification for it." If it was just for revenge and venting, to let so many people take risks, if she knew, she would definitely look down on me.
Kalanda has been a mercenary captain for a long time, and she takes good care of her team. Caterina is like her daughter, and some others are like her brothers. If I had died first, she wouldn't have risked the safety of others in order to avenge me. ”
Chen Hansheng glanced up at the shield that was still being bombarded by artillery, and said, "This is a war, and there is nothing about revenge. Of course, it seems to me that everyone in the City of God should die, but that's another story. ”
"You're an interesting guy. Edel nodded slightly, "However, when it comes to war and tactics, I think of a problem, if we go over like this and attack the opponent's shield, I'm afraid it's not a good idea." Maybe if we didn't destroy the enemy's circle, we would have been killed by the enemy's Sages. ”
"Then what do you suggest?" Chen Hansheng asked.
"Someone needs to be the bait. "Edel Dao needs someone to lure the Sages out of the circle from other directions, and then we have time to break the shield and destroy the circle." ”
Chen Hansheng said: "This is not an easy thing to do, and this person's situation will be more dangerous than ours. ”
"It's very difficult. "So, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can do it." ”
