Chapter 478: Her Royal Highness the Princess (I'm really sorry, today's third watch)
"It can support for a while, and the camp is actually not too far from the outskirts of the voodoo forest. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Half-Elven Empire?"
"Yes, the half-elves are trying to cut off the passage outside, and they are entangled with the main force of the Empire, there are many of them, and the Empire is mobilizing more troops to come over, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Legions should be in the battle. ”
"How many of them?" Xia He was a little surprised, the empire mobilized the Tenth Legion over, and in Xia He's opinion, it was already a big move. There are only twelve legions in the Empire, and each legion has the ability to fight independently.
The elite number of a legion is between 80,000 and 120,000, and this number can't be compared?
Mo Duo saw Xia He's expression, he knew what he was thinking, Mo Duo said: "The Tenth Army is 90,000 people, but according to the habit, if you come out to fight, unless it is a royal family recruitment, at most half of them will be dispatched, and half of them will stay in the station." This time, the 10th Army Corps came over 50,000 people, which was already quite a lot, 8,000 on the forward side, 20,000 in the forest, and 20,000 in the newly built military towns outside the forest, in fact, all the mobile troops. ”
Xia He didn't say anything more, and it was estimated that if Metatrin wanted to send troops, he would also be obstructed and harassed.
The nobles of the empire are still relatively proficient in fighting for power and profit. Under normal circumstances, I am afraid that the army will be mobilized by the end of the year. It's a bit of a pain.
He gathered two sweeping teams, most of which actually entered the temple, plus the noble forces that entered from all walks of life, the empire invested in the temple is not small, but what about the periphery?
If you are killed into the voodoo forest by the regular army of the half-elf empire, the pressure on yourself will be too great.
All the way to the west, I came across more than a dozen camps on the way, some peaceful, some in a state of battle. When encountering a battle and not being able to dodge, Modo realized that he was thinking too much. To get to the princess camp today, that's an impossible task.
Trojan horses are not suitable for combat, and every time they encounter a half-elf, the Imperial warriors will change into demonized warhorses and be ready to charge at any time. However, it was Xia He and Freya who rushed up, covering a large area of magic and helping the various camps to break the siege. Then Mordo issued a requisition order to take these people to the princess's camp.
This time the speed was even slower, and Xia He said to Mo Duo: "Otherwise, let them go by themselves, let's go first?"
Modo's sense of Xia He immediately improved a lot, and Count Asra was at least willing to do things, although it cost money to do things.
"Okay, let's take two hundred elites and go to the camp. ”
Xia He smiled, this person is really real, but he doesn't want to waste time on the road, and this battle is too troublesome.
Xia He asked the mercenary mage to lead the team, collect the people in the camp all the way, and go to the designated camp.
In the middle of the night, Xia He's team went deep into the forest and came to the camp built by Princess Angelina, which was completely unexpected by Xia He.
Princess Angelina, in the middle of the forest, opened a huge clearing and built a huge fortress in the clearing. A fortress is an ancient fortification, and in a magical world, it can be quite strong.
The whole fortress complex is a perfect circle in shape, but the outer walls of the circle are not very high, and the circular wall is connected to the huge six-pointed star castle, and the six corners of the six-pointed star and the intersection of the line are built with twelve tall towers. Considering that this fortress complex is not very large, with a diameter of only more than six hundred meters, this tall tower is quite dense.
"Why aren't there attacking enemies?" Xia He asked with a frown.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's Towers are a huge magic generator, and at night, they form a strange area, and the enemy's perception drops too much, and it is easy to be hit by long-range attacks. So after dark, the half-elf mongrels refused to come. ”
Xia He tried to extend his divine sense, and he felt that he was really suppressed, but the perception did not decline much, it should be that his soul was special, he had cultivated into a yin god, and there was also a yang god pattern.
If it's a half-elf, it's even more restricted, and if it's aimed at an archer or a magic gun at a distance, it's too easy to die on the battlefield if you don't feel it.
"This magic fortress was designed by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Modo looked at the fortress group not far away, and there was indescribable admiration in his eyes.
Xia Hexin said, you guy, you can't be in love with the princess, right?
If the princess wasn't a magician, you still had a 1 percent chance.
The magic fortress is indeed very powerful, and it is suitable for the legendary forbidden area, but the problem is that this thing is not a one-time idea, and Her Royal Highness the princess may not have been designed by one person. I have so many good things on hand, almost all of them are made by Freya, and I don't believe that there is no group of people like Freya around the princess.
Modo took out a small wooden tube and activated the magic fireworks inside, which was an identification thing.
The fortress immediately responded, and on this wall facing the Xia River, the portal opened, but it was more than five meters wide. Xia He looked around, and there were metal doors that could slide open, which was the possibility that the people inside the fortress could come out to fight.
Modo urged the demon deer and took the lead into this magical fortress.
Once inside the perimeter, cross an avenue with barracks on both sides. After turning a corner, the metal door slid open on the high wall inside, and Xia He was brought to the inside of the fortress complex.
As soon as she entered the inner city, a female magician greeted her, she glanced at Xia He, and said to Modo: "Please go back to Count Asla, you go and arrange for him to stay in Tower No. 7, and the people he brought are arranged over there, let him command by himself." When the arrangements are made, invite the Earl over, and the Duke will see him. ”
"Yes," Modo agreed, and the sorceress bowed slightly to Xia He and turned away.
Modo said to Xia Hedao: "Come with me, I thought you would be arranged on the periphery." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Towers 1 to 6, at the edge of the ring, the battle is still very tense, and Towers 7 to 12 are basically some support tasks. Although the outer walls were breached, they were quickly recaptured. ”
Xia He understood, there were a total of twelve battle towers, and the periphery was of course the most difficult place, facing the enemy's attack.
Princess Angelina is still a sensible person, and first arranged her own residence, indicating that she would not take her command. In fact, the people he brought with him were still from the Tenth Legion, and he was taken away, and he was not dissatisfied. This is not his own private army, but he was saved before and controlled by himself.
According to normal logic, it is time for him to hand over the command again.
But Xia He refused to do this, the princess didn't take it back, it was her business, the equipment of this team was replaced by herself, how could she do it if she didn't recover the capital.
The tower is on the fourth floor, and as soon as Xia He arrived, the people inside withdrew one after another. Modo instructed Xia He to arrange manpower. The shooter is arranged on the top floor, and the magician is arranged on the third floor. These two layers can be output to the farthest distance. There are plenty of magic guns here, and each window can arrange three mages to shoot, and considering the direction, there can be nine on the first floor.
The entire fortress is made of magic, specifically petrified of the earth.
The earth is excavated from the ground, and all bastions have underground passages and storage spaces, which is typical of the use of materials in situ.
All the building surfaces of the stone fortress, inside and out, are decked with wooden planks. Planks are enchanted and attached to the exterior wall to increase defense, and can be quickly replaced if broken.
These designs are very good, Xia He also thinks they are very good, using local materials, making the best use of things, and the ideas are smooth.
I didn't even think about adding armor to the entire castle. The Dao Palace doesn't have this concept either, anyway, the Daoists don't know what the Legendary Forbidden Zone is.
Xia He quickly arranged the manpower to let Freya rest, and he himself followed Modo to meet Princess Angelina.
The Princess's residence, the only metal building in the entire fortress, was a hexagonal metal house with a silver-gray surface that looked like it was only the height of a two-story house.
Entering the door is a narrow passage, Xia He feels that the space is a little out of order, this metal building, it may be something like Leeds' Magic Box.
In the front room, when Xia He walked in, he saw four miniature elemental pools.
No wonder Modo said that Her Royal Highness would reimburse all her expenses, and she didn't know how much these four elemental pools were worth. The miniature elemental pool may not be able to be built even by legendary mages.
In the middle of the four miniature elemental pools, a black object was suspended on the ground, which looked like a sphere, but when the eye was attracted, it was discovered that this black sphere was actually an exit from a cave.
It's a weird thing, but it's locked by the magic circle in the center of the room.
Princess Angelina looked like she was in her twenties, her hair was pulled up, a round lens was floating in front of her left eye, and she was dissecting a corpse in front of an alchemical stone tablet wearing something similar to a goblin hand on her hands.
Modo retreated, and Xia He walked around the room a few times, and simply came to the alchemy slab and looked down at the corpses placed on it.
It is a female half-elf, with her chest cavity cut open and a metal brace propped up to the bone, revealing the heart inside.
Xia He was sure that this half-elf must be dead, but a purple heart was still beating vigorously.
The half-elf's neck was covered with a metal nail, which penetrated through it, and the nerve in the middle of the neck bone must have been broken, and there was no sign of soul fluctuations on her body.
What an evil sect, when a person dies, the heart of the corpse can still move, which is not a characteristic of the undead.
"Asla, have you ever seen this?" Princess Angelina, who was also observing the half-elf purple heart, asked Xia He, who entered the room, without raising her head.
"I haven't seen it. ”
"Reasoning then?"
"Generally speaking, we think that only lower creatures are like this, the brain is dead, the soul is dissipated, but the body organs are still alive. But in reality, the body has its own consciousness. ”
