Chapter 208: Impact
"Fight back!"
Seeing that the coalition forces were crushed by the artillery fire of the floating city, the army immediately began to counterattack. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The combat arcanists of the Twin Towers Academy have begun to counter-hunt the coalition forces in battle groups.
The order to launch a counterattack in this state of time can be said to require a certain amount of courage. This is because in the real world, there is no such thing as friendly damage. Although the shells were slightly delayed by their comrades in the shell blasting, it was inevitable that some friendly troops would be injured by mistake.
Moreover, the battlefield was full of fire, and fragments were flying. All kinds of spells are flying in the sky. Even a person with a full dodge skill will not be able to take a single attack under this barrage of attacks. Even if the white horse and silver spear come, you have to kneel.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat! Get out of the shelling range. "Some sober-minded people already understand that in this case, it is impossible to continue to seize the flying gate and enter the floating city. Even if they are lucky enough to enter, they don't know how many armed forces are waiting for them inside, and they may have fallen into the trap.
After hearing the alert from the smart man, the already scattered coalition forces began to retreat in a swarm. Even some elite squads with better tactical literacy can't turn the situation around, so they can only try to keep themselves from being scattered by the defeated army, temporarily retreat to a farther place, and then make plans after the team is reorganized.
Bombing a camp is a terrible thing at any time. Because panic is contagious, under the constant infection, most creatures will be influenced by the herd's mind, choose to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and instinctively aim to save their own lives. This can easily lead to unpredictable ripple effects.
And if there is an enemy chasing after you at this time, the already messy team will be even more unable to put in order, and will only get worse and worse. Eventually, it becomes an unmanageable mess.
The artillery fire began to extend in an orderly manner, and the Arcanists of the battle group began to pursue under the cover of artillery fire. After paying nearly half of the casualties, the Alliance's arcanists managed to withdraw from the range of the Arcane Cannons and fled into the darkness of the night.
The Arcanists of the Twin Towers Academy's battle team patrolled within a radius of the Floating City's artillery fire before halting the pursuit. After all, in terms of overall strength, the coalition forces still have an advantage, and if they are chased in a hurry, the other side will fight back to the death, and it is really difficult to say the result.
At present, the strategic purpose of the Twin Towers Academy is to gradually use the Floating City as a springboard for attack, gradually destroy the opponent's base and living forces, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of ruling the continent alone. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the commander of the battle group wisely canceled the pursuit plan. After sending men to clean up the battlefield, he led the team back to the floating city to wait for the next order.
And when the Floating City attacked the base camp of the coalition forces at night, a small battle also took place in the base camp of the Twin Towers Academy.
The negotiations during the day were deliberately delayed by the Twin Towers Academy, so it was natural that the negotiations came to an impasse. Naturally, the two sides parted unhappily. Naturally, the negotiators of the alliance lived in the rest room provided by the Twin Towers Academy. Although the members of the negotiation team were careful not to accept any food and water from the Twin Towers Academy, and stationed many open and secret posts in their residences, they still fell into the trap of the Twin Towers Academy.
After all, this is the territory of the Twin Towers Academy, and it is easy to make a small move. The person in charge of the academy was also decisive, and directly took advantage of the negotiators and his own personnel to quietly pile up explosives near the place where the Twin Towers Academy was staying, and closed the spell barrier in this area. At the same time as the attack on the Floating City, the explosives were detonated.
With a loud rumbling bang, a quarter of the tower to the left of the Twin Towers Academy was reduced to rubble.
Along with this part of the ruins, there was also a negotiating team sent by the Alliance. Although a few people survived for various reasons, they were still killed on the spot by the arcanists of the Twin Towers Academy, which had been prepared for a long time around them.
In fact, with the strength of the negotiation team, it is really not easy for the Twin Towers Academy to solve it so thoroughly, and if you want to use the ability of the Arcanist to face each other, even if it is a victory, it will be a miserable victory. However, no one expected that the Twin Towers Academy would be so decisive and directly destroy such a large area of their own academy. This is only the initial situation, and the subsequent impact is not yet known.
This structural damage, even if repaired, is likely to affect the operation of the two mage towers to a certain extent.
Once a mage tower with a tower spirit like this is damaged, it is very troublesome to repair, and it is even more difficult than rebuilding one.
Moreover, these two attacks directly showed that the Twin Towers Academy was the murderer of the previous series of attacks, and directly pushed the Twin Towers Academy to the opposite side of other forces on the mainland. became the public enemy of the mainland.
However, despite the disadvantages of this kind, there are still many benefits to the Twin Towers Academy.
First of all, after these two attacks, many of the alliance's arcanists have been eliminated, and most of these arcanists are the mainstays of various academies and even the alliance, and this time it can be said that the alliance's strength has been broken. For the next action of the Twin Towers Academy, it is much easier.
Secondly, these two operations dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Alliance, especially the devastating blow of Gustav's cannon, which successfully left an indelible shadow on the hearts of many Arcanists. In the future, it will be much more difficult for the alliance to organize such a large coalition army.
Third, due to the lag of news and the ability of the Floating City to attack quickly, the Twin Towers Academy can take advantage of the fact that most of the academies have not yet received the news to eliminate a few more opposition forces and clear the way for future work.
For the next two months, Floating City was dispatched twice a day on average, frequently appearing over the headquarters of the Alliance's various academies. Drop the cannonballs of destruction. Although many academies received news of the attacks on the Alliance Army and the negotiating team one after another, and all guessed that the Twin Towers Academy would retaliate against the various Academies of the Alliance Army, no one expected that the attack would be so violent.
Moreover, the appearance of the Floating City completely disrupted the original battle style and rhythm between the Arcanist Academy. The high-speed assault and high-intensity firepower coverage made it very uncomfortable for the Arcanist Academy, who were accustomed to the see-saw style of fighting alone or in small groups.
It was as if the Gallic chickens, accustomed to slow trench warfare, were very uncomfortable in the face of the torrent of steel of the Hans. Many Arcanist Academies have completely fallen into a state of passive beating, and it is not easy for even if they want a strong man to break his wrist and abandon his current academy station.
After all, after operating for so many years, it is not so easy to say that it is necessary to give up, and I don't know how many materials and equipment need to be dismantled, but before they can sort out the list of materials, the floating city of the Twin Towers Academy came above them and lowered the declaration of death.
For a time, the coalition forces on the entire continent suffered heavy losses.
