Chapter 549: War of Atrition
readx;
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and some reinforcements from the Sky City and the Divine Domain have also arrived at the front line, and the arrival of these people has made the captains of the major legions of the Lionheart Empire invariably breathe a sigh of relief, not that they do not have the confidence to resist the attack of the Moon Shadow Empire, but that the number of casualties has reached a shocking level. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The war has been going on until now, no legion can still be in a state of full strength, here is talking about middle and high-level generals, low-level samurai can be replenished anytime and anywhere, but every senior officer who can lead the column to fight is an intangible wealth, and in time, a considerable number of them have the hope of becoming a saint-level powerhouse.
Especially recently, the assassination of each other against the Wuzun level powerhouses between the two sides is in full swing, and similar scenes are being staged every day, seeing the talents they have worked so hard to cultivate fall like this, the major army commanders, including Shiloss, have already had red eyes.
Of course, they can gather some saint-level powerhouses to destroy the camp of the Moon Shadow Empire, but the consequences of doing so are something they can't afford, everyone knows that the war will escalate sooner or later, but the decision does not belong to them.
The reinforcements of Sky City and God's Domain have finally balanced the hearts of these legion commanders, why should the people of our Lionheart Empire fight to the death in front, and you can hide in the back and watch the excitement? You must know that the outcome of this war is related to the pattern of the entire continent, and no one wants to stay out of it.
The reinforcements were not scattered and reorganized, and Schloss and the others did not bother to use this kind of careful thinking, and directly divided a war zone to the reinforcements of Sky City and God's Domain, the advantage of this is that they can easily analyze the strength of the reinforcements, so that they can judge whether their allies are reliable.
This is especially important on the battlefield, the so-called comrade-in-arms is the person you can hand over to him behind his back, and if even the people who stand by your side to fight side by side are to be suspicious, then the outcome of this war can already be predicted.
It turns out that Sky City and God's Domain have not retained their strength in this matter, and the warriors sent out are all well-trained, battle-hardened, and have a tacit understanding of mutual cooperation between advance and retreat, which is not weaker than the major legions of the Lionheart Empire.
And Dio and Laura, are still looking for a suitable target every day, Dio has begun to like this kind of work, to be honest, in the face-to-face fight, the advantage of the wind samurai is not big, the assassin profession is simply tailor-made for the wind samurai, of course, the premise is to have enough patience, but also to have the corresponding strength, the assassination evolves into a grappling, which means that the assassination failed.
The most important thing that Dio lacks is patience, as for the strength, it is far beyond the powerhouses of the same level, coupled with Laura, an extremely violent little girl, the probability of successful assassination is ridiculously high, whether it is the Lionheart Empire or the camp of the Moon Shadow Empire, the names of Dio and Laura can be said to be known to everyone, so that Laura had to replace the original white clothes and put on the leather armor worn by ordinary soldiers, so that she would not be recognized at the first time.
However, as time passed, Dio soon discovered a problem, the opponent's martial arts level powerhouses became more and more difficult to kill, if there was still some passion in the previous war, then now it has become a complete war of attrition.
Now, unless it is a red eye, no martial honorable level powerhouse will rashly rush into the opponent's military formation and kill, because the consequence of doing so is likely to be that he will not be able to see the sun tomorrow morning.
Therefore, the assassination gradually evolved into a forcible killing, and the general assassination operation would be carried out by two or three people together, and the forcible killing required the cooperation of at least five strong people at the level of Wuzun, otherwise not only would they not be able to kill the enemy, but they would probably leave themselves there.
Faced with such a situation, Dio was a little helpless, he was not so arrogant that he thought that after penetrating deep into the enemy's military formation, he would be able to retreat with his whole body, perhaps only a saint-level powerhouse could do this. Although after such a long time of fighting, Dio has been promoted to the fourth-order martial venerable, but it is still very far away from the saint-level powerhouse, the higher the strength, each promotion to the first order also means that a larger number of source power is needed, this is still Dio has the source power vortex to be able to advance so quickly, like Sophia, only the most qualified Xue Ni has been promoted to the second-order martial venerable, and the others are still hovering at the bottleneck of the first-order martial venerable.
On this day, Dio was bored and sat on the small hill with Laura, scanning the battlefield below, thinking about whether he should find a few people to work with, so that the success of the grasp is naturally much greater, and it is not impossible to directly impact the enemy's military formation, but the problem is that now Dio and Laura have been passed on by the soldiers of the Flame Legion, and they are invincible and invincible, as if he and Laura only need to lock on any target, the other party will not be able to escape.
Of course, Dio didn't care about these false names, in fact, for a good Assassin, fame was harmful, but this was relative, and at Vasily's level, there was no difference between being famous and not.
What he really cared about was Schloss, at the beginning he asked Dio to carry out the assassination was just a decision made purely from Dio's strength, but now it seems that his original decision is undoubtedly extremely wise, as long as Dio does not stop assassinating the enemy's Wuzun for a day, the morale of his side will always be high.
Because the probability of success of Dio and Laura is too high, up to now, there are more than twenty martial arts level powerhouses who have died in the hands of Dio and Laura, so even if the warriors have been pressed and beaten by the opposite side and have taken advantage of the disadvantage, the hearts of the warriors will still be full of hope, and everyone firmly believes in their hearts that this situation will not last long, as long as Dio and Laura appear, the situation will soon be reversed.
In a way, Dio and Laura are now the spiritual pillars of ordinary warriors, and wherever they appear, they will burst out with great unparalleled combat power, and even if Dio and Lara do not succeed, enthusiastic warriors tend to defeat the enemy one after another.
Therefore, Dio's idea can only be thought about in his heart, and if he really puts it into practice, his and Laura's status in the hearts of the warriors will naturally be greatly reduced, whether it is to kill one or two martial arts officials, or the morale of the entire army is important, as long as people who are not too idiots know the answer, not to mention that the battle line is too long, and the number of people qualified to serve as assassins is too small, from the perspective of the overall situation, Schloss will not allow Dio to do this.
In the final analysis, it is still his own strength is not enough, Dio thought with some regret, he heard the scene when Gulagas and Yalvis killed the wind saint-level powerhouse that day, the realm of the wind saint-level powerhouse seemed a little ridiculous at first, it turned out to be completely defense-oriented, which was obviously a little contrary to the essence of the wind type warrior.
However, in Dio's opinion, this kind of realm is just right for him, and the most lethal secret technique that Dio can release at the moment is the Thunder Light Wind Blade, but the speed and distance limit the power of the Thunder Light Wind Blade, if he has the domain of that Wind Saint-level powerhouse, it means that Dio can break into front of anyone and easily release the Thunder Light Wind Blade, and the chance of hitting will naturally increase significantly.
When he thought of this, Dio couldn't help but release the wind shield he groped out, and then smiled bitterly, he could feel how fragile the wind shield he released was, maybe it could resist the attacks of some extreme warriors, but for the strong people at the martial arts level, it was completely possible to ignore it, this is normal, at the beginning, Dio was to resist the wind pressure when he was carried by Gulagas when he was carried by the wind, so he researched such a thing, and the power naturally could not be great.
The hurricane appeared in Dio's hands from time to time, sometimes dissipated, and after playing with it repeatedly for a while, Dio suddenly had a whim, and released two wind shields one after another, and then Dio controlled the wind shields to move closer together, but the next moment the two wind shields did not fit together as Dio expected, but instantly caused the source force disorder in the air, and exploded with a snap.
Feeling the wind source power escaping everywhere, Dio was not too disappointed, this was just an idea that came to Dio's accident, it was easy to break a mirror, but it was impossible to reglue the broken pieces together to form a flawless mirror, this is like the difference between the derivative wind blade and the wind blade, Dio can control the derivative wind blade to split into more than a dozen streamers, but he can't let the derivative wind blade that has been split out regather into its original appearance.
If there is a way to fit the two wind shields together, Dio's defense ability will be greatly improved immediately, the difference between breaking one chopstick and breaking a hundred is clear to everyone, theoretically if Dio can stack countless wind shields together, I am afraid that even a saint-level powerhouse will not be able to break it.
Dio pondered for a while, and suddenly wanted to laugh, he was really whimsical, it seems that he has been too idle these days, and it is very lonely to say that he can't kill people...... Forget it, let's go to the war zone of Sky City and God's Domain, maybe there is a chance, Dio thought so, and was about to call out to Laura, who was dozing on the side, but at this moment, there was a sudden twitch on the battlefield in the south.
Dio looked intently, and roughly saw the battle situation, the column that was originally on the front line obviously could not withstand the opponent's offensive and retreated, of course, just a column was defeated does not mean that the battle line was broken, and the reserves behind immediately rose up again.
This kind of thing happens almost every day, and Dio usually doesn't care about it, and he has only one mission, which is to assassinate the enemy's martial arts level powerhouse as much as possible. But the next moment, Dio suddenly remembered something, due to Schloss's 'special' care, Raymond's column was downgraded to a reserve, and there were not many reserves on the battlefield, relatively speaking, it was naturally safer, and it sounded better to say, after all, it was also a front-line combatant, so even if Raymond had a big opinion, there was no way to take Schloss, Schloss did not directly throw Raymond into the logistics troops in the rear, and he already took care of Raymond's face.
The point is, if Dio remembers correctly, the reserve team that Raymond is in is in that direction.
A smile appeared on Dio's lips, it is estimated that Raymond must be extremely excited at this moment, and he will finally be able to go to the battlefield......
