Chapter 600: The Legend of the Political Commissar (End)
The Burning Legion's attack began after lunchtime and began until it was getting dark.
In this short period of half a day, the first five of the dozens of defense lines of the Orlan Empire were crushed under the wild attack of the Burning Legion.
The key to the battle was not at all how fierce the other demonic attacks of the Burning Legion were, let alone how long the desperate defenders could hold the defensive line, but how fast those steel fortresses could move.
In other words, where these nine terrifying war machines finally arrived, the Burning Legion's final breach of the defensive line also stopped, and this afternoon, the defenders used a variety of means to try to destroy these terrifying war fortresses.
For example, the elite knights lead a large number of cavalry troops, launch a decisive charge, try to rush to the vicinity of the steel castle, and then carry a large number of explosives bags to forcibly blow up this huge monster.
It's just that when both sides are on guard with air troops, it is impossible to make a sudden sneak attack during the day when the line of sight is good, and when the knight is still moving, he is detected in advance by the winged demons on the side of the Burning Legion, and then they notify the commander on the ground in time.
By the time these knights launched a charge, the Burning Legion on the opposite side had been ready for a long time, and a large number of powerful demons such as Hellfire and Black Warriors, which had strong defensive capabilities, directly blocked the way of the knights' charge.
Soon, the momentum of the Knights' charge was blocked by the Burning Legion, and at this time they were still quite a long way away from the target steel castle.
Then the knights, who lost their speed, fell into the encirclement of the tide of demons, and after resisting for a while, the knights who had high hopes and the 10,000 cavalry assigned to them were completely annihilated in helplessness.
The explosives bags carried by the knights could only be ignited before the knights died, turning them into a brilliant firework......
Even, in order to destroy these steel castles, the joint command on the defense line also dispatched a small number of air force units at hand, an air force composed of two dragons of the five dragon cities and dozens of griffins.
They had learned the lesson of the last Knights charge that the Burning Legion had learned in advance, which had led to their failure, and they had done everything they could before they acted, and then flew over, intending to pour all the remaining explosives on the head of the Iron Castle.
It was this sudden and powerful air assault that revealed the Iron Castle's fangs, or rather, in the previous battle, this terrifying battlefield monster only revealed a small part of its combat methods.
The outer wall of the castle, which originally seemed to be integrated, was suddenly opened with a large number of tiny windows, and then a series of dark and thick all-steel ballistas emerged from the windows, and from the small ballistas, you can also see fine magic patterns, these are actually rare enchanted ballistas.
Seeing that the air raiders were not good, they frantically flapped their wings and tried to rise into the air to avoid this place, but it was too late, and the dense enchanted ballistas rained down the griffons, and even the two dragons were hit several times.
In the end, except for a giant dragon with serious injuries, which flew back to the defense line, the rest of the air raiding force was all killed, and since then, the defenders behind the defense line have not made any counterattack against these steel castles......
The bonfire burned vigorously, and under the blazing firelight, the faces that were numb or panicked were reflected.
At this time, there were still a large number of defenders behind the defensive line, but even with such an astonishing number of defenders here, the scene was eeriely silent, and in the face of a predictable tragic fate, everyone did not want to say a word or do more.
It seems that in the face of that terrible weapon of war, all efforts are superfluous.
On the other hand, in the camp of the Burning Legion miles away, countless demons were frolicking like carnivals.
The low-level cannon fodder demons, as well as the two-headed hellhounds, are holding the corpses of the dead defenders, biting and swallowing them heavily, and the level of bloodiness is like being in the most terrifying abyss hell.
However, those high-ranking demons are much more particular, they put the fattest parts of the corpses of the defenders on the fire and carefully roasted them, and at the same time constantly sprinkled with refined salt and various condiments scavenged from the occupied areas.
Their commander-in-chief gave out vats of all kinds of liquor as a reward, and then these powerful demons poured them into their stomachs like drinking water.
A large number of hot succubi, with clothes that can barely cover even the vital parts, writhing vigorously in the extravagant music, exuding a strange allure.
There are constantly powerful demons who are surging with alcohol and hot dancing in front of them, and the excitement of the fire surges, dragging a succubus past one of them, and then in the exaggerated and contrived cries of the succubus, they are united in the wilderness on the side, thus triggering more demonic screams.
The extremely noisy sound made the defenders on this side of the defense line clearly audible, and they became more and more impetuous......
Little John was also hugging his knees, sitting behind a campfire, his eyes full of confusion about his future fate.
He was fortunate that he was the only one alive among the dozens of soldiers who had escaped from the first line of defense, and the others, who could not prove that they had two things like Little John, would have been treated as deserters and executed in public by the military judges.
But little John's luck seems to have ended there, he was incorporated into the defenders of the fifth line of defense, and in the battle of tomorrow, he had no confidence or hope that he would succeed in surviving.
Little John sighed silently, and thought in his heart: "If I knew this, it would be better to die there with the political commissars, at least when I die, it will not be so lonely." ”
Just in the daze of little John's gains and losses, a heavy footsteps gradually came towards him, little John subconsciously looked up, and cried out in great surprise: "Oh my God! Commissar, you are not dead?"
But soon, the excitement cooled down, this equally tall bear man was indeed very similar to the political commissar, and even the clothes on his body were the same, but it was not just a similarity, and he was not a familiar political commissar at all.
"I'm not your political commissar, your political commissar is my own brother Kellney, and we are rare twins of bear people. The man spoke in a low tone, with a deep sadness in his voice.
Hearing that the person who came was the political commissar's own brother, little John suddenly felt that the bear man in front of him was extremely kind, he quickly stood up, and solemnly handed over the two things carefully kept in his arms: "My lord, this is the last thing left by the political commissar, I think it is more appropriate for you to keep it." ”
"No, you might as well keep it. The bear man rejected these two things, then looked at little John with fixed eyes and asked, "Boy, do you want to be like Kellney?"
Little John immediately replied with great certainty: "Of course, the Commissar is the most heroic and great person I have ever met, and I very much hope to become a big hero like him, but I may not have a chance......"
Hearing this, the bear man nodded with great satisfaction, he solemnly took out an envelope from his arms, stuffed it into Little John's hand, and said: "Although today's war is not going well, the countries of the God of War Alliance are very much in agreement and satisfied with the first batch of 1,000 political commissars and the strengthening of the army's combat effectiveness. ”
"At the same time, they are eager to join this position in their own army, so the second phase of the crash course for political commissars in the rear is about to begin; ”
Little John took the envelope tremblingly, and then nodded his head heavily......
That night, with this letter of introduction, he successfully left this hellish cruel defense line, and a few days later, he took a smooth logistics carriage to the royal capital of the Orlan Empire, the place where the second phase of the political commissar crash course was studied.
It was also on this day that he accidentally learned the news from the front, it was said that yesterday, the demon army of the Burning Legion had advanced to the seventeenth line of defense, and all the defenders in front were killed without exception.
Little John, who instantly fell into an extremely sad mood, knew that just as he would never see the political commissar again, it was estimated that he would never be able to see the bear man who looked very similar to the political commissar in his life.
