Volume VII, Chapter 31
Heim was stunned for a moment, then sighed heavily. Luo Wei'an sighed for a while, this situation has not changed for five hundred years, this kind of thing often happened to the human legion in the past, the field medical security system is often hit senselessly, and the battle loss rate of the human legion is also rising. And it is understandable that the Demon Legion, which puts the battlefield medical rescue system first, relies on the battle loss rate of only one-twentieth of the human race to fight against the Terran Legion with a total strength of more than 100 times its own.
"Therefore, the most urgent thing is how to shorten the recovery period of meridian damage. If a key vein is damaged and life-threatening, we often use the light salute of divine magic or the common healing technique to quickly restore the broken meridian, thus leading to irreversible misalignment of the meridians. Therefore, in normal times, we can only use cool medicine to alleviate the tendency of the meridians to continue to break, and also use warm drugs to moderately control the recovery speed of the meridians. Healing techniques are almost useless in treating broken meridians. ”
Heim nodded heavily: "It's really in a word, could it be that you have made a breakthrough discovery?"
"Attributes. Lovian uttered only one word.
Heim raised an eyebrow.
"The light attribute is as strong and active as the midday sun, and the healing magic triggered by the light attribute is violent and fast-working, so it is difficult to have the effect of dredging and warming. The dark attribute is gentle and gentle, and although the effect is slow, it has far more effect on chronic damage than the light attribute healing technique. ”
Heim furrowed his eyebrows, "Use the dark elemental to induce healing......"
"I'm from Edelstan Province, and I'm a dark physique myself. ”
Heim walked back and forth in the empty and dark main hall. After a while he said, "This is the result of your joint research with Master Royna?"
Lovien nodded.
"It's not appropriate to make a public announcement......," Heim said in a stern tone suddenly, "The Holy Sect on that side is very unfriendly to all of them related to the dark elementals, even though we are at odds with them. But we are still avoiding the possibility of all-out war. ”
Lovian suddenly realized how difficult it was to take advantage of such a condition that His Majesty had given himself.
In the three days since he came, and two months before, west of Tiantai Pass, the Holy Sect garrison had maintained a numbing silence. The intelligence organizations all over the Holy Religion went back and forth with only one sentence of evaluation for the enemy -- "stay vigilant"
In fact, this is another meaning of nothing. In the past six months, the Holy Sect has not attempted to attack Tiantai Pass. Dozens of meters away from the west gate of Tiantai Pass, it is common to see the Holy Sect cavalry wearing white armor holding the reins in one hand, and holding a cavalry spear more than two meters long in the other hand, stepping on broken steps and looking at the towering Tiantai Pass with cold eyes. Occasionally, you can see the real elite surrounded by knights. Official knight of the Earth Knights.
They often don't look as strong as ordinary cavalrymen, and their equipment is not as sophisticated as they are. It seems that they are just riding on horses, dressed in the simplest of white robes. If it weren't for the simple steel sword hanging from the saddle and the mighty power that could be felt from afar. They will even give the impression of a civilian official.
On days when there was no fighting, the field hospital was always empty, and in addition to spending time skillfully using the two healing techniques together and continuing to temper the dark spirit, Lovian would often climb to the west tower with the pass issued by the hospital. Look at the rolling hills and lush broadleaf forests of the central and western sides. For the cold gaze of the Holy Sect cavalry patrolling there, he simply looked to the west. More often than not, he wondered if Francis and Snowmedinkan had managed to escape the Knights, and to his relief, he always had a feeling that the Holy Emperor Sinas was not a human who would give special explanations to his promises.
In the early morning, the entire rooftop was shuddering slightly.
According to veterans who have been here for several years, this is another time when the Tiantai Pass garrison troops are assembled. The resonance of hundreds of pairs of steel boots on the stone pavement. Amidst the roar and trembling, there is also a medium-low and majestic drum beat. It's the low roar of the drum. As soon as the drum sounds, it means that the gathering of all the high-level military attaches at Tiantai Pass is often a harbinger of the coming of a big war.
As a field medic, Lovian was not directly constrained by the War Department, so he was fortunate to see once again the nearly 10,000 defenders jumping on the battlements in an orderly manner with the clarion call, and more follow-up troops from the eastern highways ready to go. Tiantai Pass, at this moment, seems to be a release valve for tens of millions of human armies.
"What is there to see in the civil war. Luo Wei'an read this sentence in the mouth shape of the demon language, even if he had an indelible military feeling, but watching the same race fight each other, he couldn't raise a good feeling. He turned around and was about to walk down the battlements when he suddenly ran into Forrest Gump, who he hadn't seen for a while.
"I sometimes wonder what kind of role you play in the defense of the city here, or if you are simply a bystander who has nothing to do with the city. ”
Forrest Gump tilted his head and showed a simple smile of the wolf clan, "In the concept of the wolf clan, watching is a kind of help. Because we are a hospitable people, and we will help welcome our fellow human beings with warmth and hospitality. ”
"So, apparently I'm not in this ranks?"
Forrest Gump stepped forward, his stature much lower than those tall city defense soldiers, and as he passed by Lovian, he felt the air around him instantly become cold and fresh.
"We will act in our attitude toward our friends, rather than in the dark language of the backbone of a civilized race. ”
Forrest Gump turned his head, playing with the ice spirit staff more than a foot long in his hand, and the slightest chill and a slight crackling sound of thunder and lightning loomed. In the background of his slightly emaciated figure, a white wave suddenly appeared with the sound of the trembling earth.
The waves stopped abruptly more than fifty meters on the west side of Tiantai Pass, and the rolling white waves were still active, but they couldn't cross this invisible embankment. In the uneven western mountains, more than 10,000 white-armored hoplites are clustered on the steep slopes of the sloping mountains, but they are as smooth as standing on the dry sand of the training ground. Standing at the forefront, it is white clothes fluttering. The hundreds of elite knights of the Earth Knights who don't seem to be knights. After dozens of seconds of horses' hooves, the west of Tiantai Pass was already silent, indistinguishable from the previously quiet mountains and forests.
The sound of uniform movements suddenly remembered after five seconds of silence. The earth knights at the front line quietly separated the gaps, allowing the soldiers in the rear to stack rows of huge pointed wooden stakes on the ground.
Directly above the city, a whip shattered the silence.
"Hum!—"
It was the relaxed moan of thousands of bowstrings, and the arrows with fiery red tail feathers suddenly dyed the sun-shone sky as blood-red as the sunset. The fire elemental in the air burst in an instant, and a red-robed magician with a burning flame swam in the gap of the rain of arrows, and was the first to jump off the city.
It was then that Lovian suddenly realized that this fierce magician was the baby-faced girl of the Fire Knights in his previous convoy.
The quiet of the Earth Knights did not ripple in the light of this fiery storm. Then the white-armored knights behind them let out an imperceptible commotion from the death threat on the tip of their noses.
The invisible lightly parted a crack, and several Holy Cult mages in pale golden robes walked through the line of Earth Knights with steady steps, and the high-pitched sound of incantations rang out. In front of the rainstorm of fire, a blue-gold light suddenly appeared out of thin air, and it almost gently touched the shower of fire.
The chaotic elemental storm blew nearly every non-mage person in the vicinity, and even the mounts of the mighty Earth Knights hissed in pain. Took a few steps back.
And the fiery red collides with the blue-gold one. There was no violent explosion, but a strange fusion of each other. The silent but violent elemental storm spread outward from there in waves, and the rooftop shook slightly under the push of the elemental.
Red and blue were entangled, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, they made a sound of crumbling with each other.
At this moment, the peaceful battlefield finally let out the roar of a human.
The blue-gold shield did not completely stop the rain of fire that had been prepared for a long time, and about a fifth of the arrows pierced through the defensive barrier and landed in the waveless white waves.
Suddenly. The roar of the fighting spirit and the sound of metal colliding crashed against the blue and white west gate of the rooftop, and there was a noisy roar. Amid the noise of whining and neighing of mounts, a woman's delicate voice sharply rushed out of the chaos.
The straight-line array of the Earth Knights at the forefront suddenly transformed into a cone-shaped spike array with a shout, and the blade of the spike array pointed to the one-man sorceress of the Fire Knights!
With the strength of one person against the elite of the Second Knights of the Hundreds of Heavens, the glory of the Holy Emperor Knights is slightly visible at this moment.
From Lovian's point of view, he couldn't see the sorceress's expression, but at this moment, he finally dispelled any doubts he had had about the current Holy Emperor Knights with this fiery red figure. After five hundred years, the peerless glorious military soul of the Holy Emperor Knights, who had traveled thousands of kilometers, had not gone away from the younger knights of this generation.
A cloud of fire instantly burned around the female magician, hundreds of fist-sized, flashing golden-red fireballs separated from the fire cloud, and then formed a crimson giant hammer in front of her, and after a dull explosion, the golden-red giant hammer accurately met the earth knight who charged at the front.
The west gate slashed open silently, dozens of turquoise longbows were opened, and the invisible, bright arrows composed of light and wind became brighter and brighter with their own tracks. The arc-shaped posture was elegant and mysterious, far faster than ordinary arrows, and almost in the breath, it was already approaching the overcover armor of several knights of the Earth Knights at the front.
The Earth Knights let out a long and incomprehensible cry, and at the same time raised their gauntlets, and the white-gold light suddenly spread from their bodies, and then merged into one, and finally turned into an almost physical white light shield, blocking the front of the Earth Knights who were facing the arrows.
The longbow knights of the Knights of the Holy Land of Wind leaped briskly to make way for the knights of the Knights of Light who followed them. The knights of light, dressed in golden light armor, swept out of the West Gate like a whirlwind, and the horses' hooves only slightly accelerated, and everyone could only see their golden afterimages.
After the sorceress of the Fire Knights unleashed the fiery red sledgehammer, a Wind Knight who was the first to rush forward floated lightly from his horse, carrying the sorceress away from the battlefield. And the white shield of light, which could only block the sharp golden-green magic arrows, could not resist the sorceress's fire hammer, with a roar. The whole person disappeared under the bombardment of fiery red and golden green, leaving a huge charred black mark on the ground.
Lovian stood behind Forrest Gump, who looked down at the unfolding battlefield with great interest. Lovian closed his eyes, listening to the cacophony of arrows grazing the air around him.
"Don't our reserves know the situation on the battlefield?"
Forrest Gump was stunned by Luo Wei'an's question, "Why are you asking this question?"
Luo Wei'an opened his eyes, he didn't know what the Holy Sect was thinking, if the situation in front of him was really as he saw, then it could only mean that the human race had regressed too much in the past five hundred years. In doing so, the Holy Sect only smashed its precious Earth Knights to their worthless deaths on the heavy walls of Tiantai Pass. In the face of such a strong pass, only a ten-to-one ratio of combat power has the possibility of success.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're part of the reserves, aren't you?" said Lovian, sniffing the air. The fishy smell of ozone in the air after the elemental storm was all over the place, "And the battle of preparing the reserves is probably not as easy as it is now, and there is no need for the Holy Emperor Knights to send them at all." We locked the gates. I'm afraid they won't be able to get in. ”
By looking at the sky. "And we have no defenses in the air. ”
Forrest Gump stared and didn't speak for a long time.
-- When the situation of the war is incomprehensible, it is often expressed as a willingness to make a large number of unnecessary sacrifices, the front line is too scattered, or there are obvious flaws, etc. - In short, when an unreasonable move is made, it often means that a variable is about to appear.
There are three common types of variables: First, the main force is not the team you see as you see it, but may be hidden as a logistician or a second-line combat phalanx. Its anomalous behavior is likely to open the way for a phalanx of front-line combat in the actual sense. Two. The battlefield environment is about to change dramatically, and the enemy is likely to use natural means such as breaking dikes and causing avalanches to destroy our forces. Or a large number of artificial traps on the battlefield, which have the same effect as causing a natural disaster. Third, there are super strong people who can change the situation of battle with the power of one person or a team of mages who can cause powerful magic. With these unpredictable forces as their backers, the commander is likely to command his troops without any scruples and military common sense, thus obscuring the judgment of our commanders to achieve the maximum lethality of the enemy. This situation can usually only be alerted to through previous intelligence systems. -- "Popularization of Common Knowledge of Military Command"
The Knights of Light raised their heavy one-handed swords on horseback, and with a hearty swing, strong soul fluctuations and light elements blended together, turning into a half-moon-shaped sword, and quickly spun and rushed towards the Earth Knights in front of them.
The white-robed earth knights also drew their unpretentious gray long swords, and the bright white fighting spirit light and heavy earth elements converged into a spiral-shaped tornado in front of them, colliding violently four or five meters away from each other, forming a chaotic smoke. In the smoke screen that obscured people's vision, the crisp sound of metal striking resounded across the battlefield, and the fierce light of the fighting spirit sometimes blew away the smoke screen, and the tragic short soldiers appeared one after another, and then were covered by the chaotic dust and miscellaneous light. From time to time, knights who had been impaled were mercilessly abandoned from the chaos. The gurgling blood fused with the crushed clods of earth beneath him, slowly spreading outward, wriggling, like a spider's webs expanding outward. The red-black blood slowly wriggled outward on the pale yellow earth, making people feel creepy.
Outside the main gate of the West Gate, fifty knights of the Knights of the Wind shot their golden-green magical arrows at incredible speed. The extremely penetrating arrows often pierced through two or three Holy Sect cavalry, and the momentum was still unabated. The regular city defense army of Tiantai Pass, which fished out of the side door, stabbed into the Holy Cult army formation like sharp knives in the gap made by the Wind Knights, and the white wave was being shredded by the silver-gray uniforms of the Imperial army.
"In your experience, are those white-robed knights true knights of the Earth Knights?"
Forrest Gump nodded.
"According to your experience, the surrounding dirt mountains are not in danger of collapsing, right? This is not some ancient riverbed, is it? Our intelligence agencies didn't find out what the Holy Cult was doing in advance, right?"
Forrest Gump nodded again.
"Okay then......" Lovian looked at the clear sky, "it's been so long, and they can be considered patient." Forrest Gump, it's time for you to play. By the way, why do you have the confidence to answer the question I just asked? I am afraid that some things are not just a random person can know for sure, right?"
Forrest Gump's expression became subtle, very different from the simple smile unique to the wolf clan.
"Don't believe me, or are you worried about my speculation, as you imagined?" Lovien put his hands behind his back and made a serious look, the dark elements slowly circling around him. This hint of darkness is especially evident in the element of light brought by the Holy Knights.
"Truth be told, I advise you not to reveal your dark nature in front of the Holy Religion. One of the reasons why the Holy Cult is at war with us is that it claims to purge humanity of evil dark constitutions. Even if you're not...... Don't do it either. Forrest Gump said suddenly, not continuing the topic of Lovian.
Forrest Gamp paused for a moment and said, "You're right, combatants like me, who are bystanders, do bring an unsuitable element of inertia to the military. I'm back to where I rightfully belong now. ”
After speaking, Forrest Gump put away his short staff and walked briskly down the steep stairs not far away, his shoulders slightly drooping.
"After all, I don't belong to this world...... Lovian said imperceptibly to himself, and as soon as he turned around, he threw off his white coat as a military doctor, revealing the pure black tight-fitting suit underneath. The surrounding soldiers looked at the young medic with amazement.
Downstairs at the West Gate, a knight of light who was not outstanding sat quietly on horseback, in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the battle not far ahead. From time to time, Holy Knights and Magicians noticed the golden-armored knight who was out of step with his surroundings, and whistling whirling whirlwinds and colorful magical attacks swept towards him from different angles.
The Knight of Light only raised his left arm slightly, and the shield with a blazing red light flashed with a simple and strange shape, and a translucent, strange being that looked like his own suddenly floated out of his body, and all the attacks fell on the translucent shadow that was almost invisible in the sunlight, like pouring a bucket of water into the sea, silently disappearing into nothingness.
Such a strange sight did not cause an obvious reaction from the Holy Sect cavalry, who noticed this qiē cavalry quietly retreated and joined the battle between those low-level formal knights and the earth knights.
He just looked a few meters away at the evenly matched battlefield. The huge siege ladder had been erected, but it had broken again and again in the incessant bombardment of magic. In this cycle, the tide of battle will never change much.
He raised his left arm, which had been calm for a long time, and a gorgeous one-handed long sword came out of its sheath, and the bright golden light flashed, and the knights of light who were fighting in front of him were shocked, and they raised their shields and slowly retreated, and the enemy in front of them no longer pursued, and quietly retreated to their former battle line.
Suddenly, the battlefield became calm. Sticky blood and corpses and broken armor replaced the previously leveled ground, the bloody smell in the air was burned by the fire element into a disgusting burnt smell, and the cold wind blew, as if a bucket of blood had been sprinkled on the face, sticky and hot.
