Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Difficult Defensive Front

Virgy listened to the bleak evening rain outside the window, and sighed: "According to the history books, the reason for the discord between the two countries is because of the uneven distribution of land after the war.

There was a thunderclap outside the window, the rain was raging, and the trees in the courtyard were fighting against the wind, and they seemed to be crumbling.

The princess said in a low voice, "So I can't forgive them. But I've been reflecting on it since then...... If we really refuse their intervention, can we really win this war? Am I too impulsive to quarrel today?"

The princess folded her knees uneasily, rested her head on her knees, and said, "If you think about the bottom of the abyss of despair, Benaryse blew us down, and she could have not thrown the Chaos Bomb, so we still don't know the secret. Could it be that she just wants us to know the lies of the Order of Light, and that our hostility to the Order may be playing into her hands? ”

The princess bit her lip in disbelief and sobbed softly: "I really don't know what to do if I should maintain my noble character and grit my teeth to face this difficult war alone, or whether I should be a little low and pretend to be the culprit who brought about the disaster." Elves have always been the most precious thing to be prideful, but I also believe that the lives of warriors are just as important. ”

Virgi squinted and smiled calmly, gently adjusted the broken lenses, and said, "Your Highness Princess, you can first listen to everything that I have personally witnessed on the battlefield in the absence of you and Yuri. After listening to my story, it's never too late to make a decision. ”

Virgie took a deep breath to calm down before he began to speak: "These few days are really not easy. Mountains and rivers are shattered, the sun and moon are gone, countless fields are scorched, and countless lives are lost. The flowing wind could not be dispersed for a long time with blood, and the mighty roar of the rushing river began to echo after nightfall. We are not dealing with enemies, because they cannot be called human at all. No matter how experienced a general is, he is at a loss in the face of such a war, and perhaps the war of light and darkness that only exists in myths and legends is nothing more than that. ”

The day after Yuri and the princess set off, it was a nice day at the border fortress.

On the scorched soil of the forest, which had been burned by Khail, delicate grass sprouted, small yellow flowers swayed gently in the warm wind, floating clouds leisurely followed the blue sky and distant mountains, the clear sky and the breeze were unhindered, and before the smell of gunpowder and fire could be blown away, ugly and huge figures appeared on the horizon, and the heat and evaporation refracted the light, making those figures look even more distorted and weird.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the war demon troops, mainly pretenders, launched a fierce attack on the border fortress.

This is out of the conventional category, in a conventional war, the attacker will never rush to the city wall with flesh and blood without defense, and then launch a siege battle with no advance or retreat, but the war demon soldiers can. They had attained a vain eternal life, and they did not fear death, but they poured like a tide of flesh and blood towards the walls.

The demon soldiers roared and stretched out their deformed claws, scratching holes in the wall bricks and climbing up, and the muskets and bows and arrows of the sun elves on the city wall poured down like a torrential rain, but after the war demon soldiers were shot in the head and fell to the ground, they were immediately able to step on the shoulders of the war demon soldiers under the city and climb again. Even if the firepower is fierce enough to disable a Wardemon's self-healing ability, the second it dies and falls, another Wardemon reaches out and grabs him back, digging out its broken beaked skull core and biting it to pieces, and the extremely severe wounds on the guy who eats his companion will heal doubly.

The general of the military god looked at it with straight eyes, and it was not until he realized that the shells of the cannon in his hand had already run out, and the three times he pulled the trigger in the back did not fire anything at all, so he immediately ordered: "Bring out the prepared fire oil!"

Fire oil poured down, and the entire fortress turned into a city of fire. The air was filled with black smoke and an indescribable stench, and even then there were burning war demons roaring up the walls, and the royal guards, led by the Guards General, drew their silver swords and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, pushing them back to the city again.

Fire oil is limited, but the lives of the war demon soldiers seem to be endless. The city had been burned to a pitch-black ground that radiated outward, and the broken limbs and bones were still sparking, and the war demons could launch the next wave of attacks.

Desperately trying to stabilize the morale of the army, the General of the War God ordered the Mystical Eagle troops to bombard the ground in front of the city walls.

The bombs turned into hail arrays and poured desperately on the earth, and countless red lotuses bloomed on the pitch-black earth in an instant. However, there was still no way to completely stop the march of the war demon soldiers, and in the end, even the general of the war god, who was as resolute as steel, felt extremely shaken.

"This is no longer war. An army cannot be wiped out in any case, something that has never been mentioned in any military book. ”

Viji cheered up the general of the military god in a loud voice: "General, 10,000 unbeatable war demon soldiers can be regarded as 500,000 enemy troops pressing the border! With a military strength of tens of thousands of people, we want to resist the wave offensive of 500,000 troops, and it is normal that we can't stop it!"

The general of the military god slapped his forehead hard: "That's right, Vicky, I'm glad to have you, otherwise I would really be in a mess." ”

General Steelwing fired all the shells he was carrying, and asked, "Then what should we do in this situation?"

Virgie and General Wargod replied in unison, "Give up space for time." ”

It is only possible to move the defensive line back and cede territory in order to preserve the main force of the Sun Elves.

General Wargod ordered: "Miraya, Steelwing, you immediately begin to organize the main force to retreat to the defense line at the foot of the Masskel Mountains twenty kilometers later. Virgy and I will take the troops and hold out for another five hours. ”

Vicky desperately used the "pre-written" Mandate of Heaven, and he desperately thought about why Letara, the god of wisdom, would mark the feet of the demon soldiers in gold, and finally came up with the answer-

"General of the military god, if the enemy is really a 500,000-strong army, we will have no problem holding out for another five hours. But the enemy is a war demon soldier, so the time left for you and me can only be three hours at most. ”

"What's the difference?" asked the general.

"If the army of 500,000 is strong, the front team will be destroyed, and the soldiers who remain in the rear will have to rush to reinforce it, and they will have to cover the distance from their original position to the city wall. But the battle demon soldiers were knocked down from the city wall, and they were able to stand up in place immediately, and there was no time difference at all. ”

General Commander broke out in a cold sweat: "Virgil, if it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid you and I would have died here in three hours." That's right, soldiers, just hold out for another three hours! During these three hours, whoever dares to retreat a step back in the defending troops will be executed myself. And if I can't get you out alive in three hours, you're welcome to execute me personally!"

The general of the military god shouted: "If we can't buy time for the withdrawal of the main force, the sun elves will have no hope of a complete counterattack! These three hours are enough to exchange for thirty years of peace in the Golden Dawn Forest, please, my brothers!"

The defenders of the city also let out a battle cry full of fighting spirit when they saw that the commander himself was staying at the end with them.

Prince Auloran was taken from his cell, and Mr. Principal, Karenitz, handed over a gold disc to Virgil.

"Remember Vigie that when you're leaving, be sure to be at the back of the line. And remember to hold this Edillus disc aloft. ”

"Edillus Disc is...... A secret treasure that allows the mage to move unhindered. Virgie said excitedly, "Mr. Freud, will you arrange the thunderstorm beforehand?"

The principal nodded approvingly: "Clever fellow, I really can't hide anything from you." ”

Virgy stood upright: "I promise that I will be the last to arrive at the evacuation site!"

Anova said with concern, "Virgil, take care. ”

"You too, please don't stay away from Mr. Headmaster's side. ”

These three hours of fierce fighting were enough to overshadow all the words that describe the war. So let's use the most concise brushwork to explain everything that happened.

For the first hour, Viggie used the Rune of Rock Protrusion to create a smooth eaves that stretched outwards at the top of the wall. Of course, the claws of the Demon Soldier can be hung upside down under the eaves to advance, and when there are enough people hanging upside down, they will remove the magic power and cause the outer eaves of the rock to fall, greatly delaying the time for the Demon Soldiers to attack.

In the second hour, Virgi, who had both run out of mana and rune cards, retreated from exhaustion, and the generals of the war god and the sun elf warriors fought a white-knuckle battle with the demon soldiers. The general wielded a heavy blade of his spear, leading the way in slaying the enemy several times, and finally more and more war demons climbed the city wall, and the sun elves were no longer able to care about the enemies who were clinging to the city walls and constantly climbing.

In the third hour, the Sun Elf artillery unit ignited the bombs that had been set on the city wall two hours ago, and the city wall collapsed with a bang, crushing countless battle demon soldiers. The defenders began to retreat, and the war demon soldiers continued to pursue, and when they pursued to the fortress barracks, all the ammunition in the warehouse was detonated at the same time, and the barracks turned into a sea of fire.

After the general of the god of war and Virgi rode the palace, Virgi was extremely tired, but still according to the agreement, he still raised the Edillus disc, and where the golden disc shone, the "forbidden rune" in the long grass along the way immediately became invalid. The arcane mines that had been buried underneath were activated again, glowing blue.
