Section 597 Each one is strange
Looking at the black and oppressive Holy See army in the distance, the seventh princess couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, she immediately ordered to abandon the battleships on the three corners of the outer three corners of the golden tower-shaped formation, and all the personnel on it were evacuated to the seven battleships on the inner layer. Although a series of collision accidents had passed, the formation of the Seven Princesses' fleet had returned to its original triangle after a short period of confusion.
Such a formation is good for attack but not for defense, because each corner of it has to deal with a 300-degree fan, and attacks from all directions are almost as if they were surrounded, and they cannot be effectively supported. It's a loss, and it's very easy to be captured. After giving up the three corners, the remaining seven battleships were exactly six in a circle, tightly protecting the one in the middle, and it was obvious that such a circular formation was more conducive to defense.
Moreover, after abandoning three battleships, it is better to concentrate forces and strengthen firepower. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the three battleships left behind, the Seven Princesses, have other mysteries, and they are not casual decisions. It's just that, in this way, the secret of the phantom monkey can't be kept, and the people who retreated in a hurry didn't pay attention to hiding them, so they swaggered and ran on the ice.
The captain of only one battleship, even at this time, still remembered to order his men to wrap the phantom monkeys tightly in their clothes before taking them out. It's a pity that his own efforts can't change what has happened, and the appearance of the phantom monkey still falls into the eyes of the Holy See troops, in short, I believe that they will soon know the secret of the stealth of the Seven Princesses fleet.
Due to the large number of troops in the Holy See, there was a lot of delay in assembling, and they were also far away. So, until all the mages and staff on the three ships returned to the ground on those seven ships. Their vanguard troops were only late to the day. Then, the two sides staged a battle that could go down in history as an infantry vs. mage.
Under the command of Sia, the Holy See army did not blindly attack, but first completed the complete encirclement of the fleet of the Seven Princesses. Then, as originally planned, Sia ordered his troops to disperse the attack, committing only a few thousand men at a time. Sparsely slaughtered the fleet of the Seven Princesses.
Although, Sia clearly knew how terrifying the magic power of the mage was, so she completely abandoned the previous group charge that was similar to suicide. Switching to this decentralized attack mode allows you to quickly consume the mage's mana with minimal casualties.
It is common knowledge in war that a magician is invincible, and no matter how many people charge in groups, don't even try to get close to him, unless he has no magic power. So if you want to rely on ordinary soldiers to defeat mages. The only way to do that was to drain the mage's mana first.
Sia knew this clearly, so he didn't rush to send a large army up to his death. It's like grinding slowly. At the same time, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties. He even allowed his soldiers to lie on the ground and crawl forward if necessary. This is still a very rare thing on the mainland, which has always attached importance to the honor of soldiers.
In the face of the new tactics of West Asia, although the seventh princess slightly praised Youjia, in fact, she was already confident. Just like before the war, West Asia had been deducing in advance how to attack after trapping the Seventh Princess. The Seventh Princess actually had a similar deduction before the war. Of course, she was rehearsing a few trapped situations in advance, including countermeasures when the enemy attacked with anti-scatter.
Although the Seventh Princess did not know that she would encounter such a grim situation this time, as a qualified marshal, the Seventh Princess was accustomed to making plans to deal with various unexpected situations in advance before the war. The reason why she won all battles, in addition to her own high talent, the most important thing is to thank him for his diligence and cautious style!
To deal with the scattered attack of West Asia, the Seven Princess's method was very shady, she asked the elven mages to come out and use the relatively simple third-level magic wood archery technique in the wood spell to shoot at the Holy See's troops. And they want to get the enemy as close as possible before shooting.
Magic is different from archery, because mages can use mental power to lock on to targets, so mages' hit rate is much higher than that of archers, and the range of spells is far from being comparable to archers.
Especially the elven mages who specialize in spells, the wooden archery that shoots out is accurate and ruthless, basically one at a time, and the frequency of their firing is also high, almost one every two seconds, and this time is almost spent on locking on the target. And casting spells is basically not time-consuming for them.
So, after the elven mage made a move, the assault force of the Holy See lay down all at once, and only a few dozen guys who were lucky or highly skilled dodged the mage's attack, while the other people who were locked by the elven mage all returned to the western sky. Then, with an uproar, all the remaining soldiers fell to the ground, and then put their shields on their heads and crawled forward little by little.
It's useless to climb, as long as you are targeted by the elven mage, it is a death, and the simple shields in the hands of the soldiers are really unable to effectively protect them, and the spell will be broken as soon as it is pierced. So the battlefield was full of dead people for a while, and thousands of soldiers were almost killed in just a few minutes, in fact, many people were not dead, they just lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and they didn't dare to move.
When Sia saw such a scene, she was taken aback, and a sense of loss arose. Although he knew that this temptation attack would never pose any threat to the Seventh Princess, it was really unacceptable for him to be broken by someone so easily. A low-level spell like a wooden arrow, an elven mage who has signed a contract with an elemental elf, and uses it thousands of eight hundred times in a row, is definitely not a problem.
In this way, five hundred elven mages can toss him 500,000 people, is there still a way to fight this battle? In desperation, Xia Xia had no choice but to order: "Stop the attack for the time being, and wait until the second plan is ready, and directly implement the second plan, you don't need to ask me!"
Since there is still a group of perverted demonic beasts under the Seventh Princess, especially the existence of Shuzu, the number one killer in the world, it has a serious threat to the life of Xia Xia. So in order to prevent a possible assassination attempt by the Seventh Princess, the flagship of West Asia has been kept under secrecy.
He also paid special attention to his own safety, and easily did not use heralds, for fear that his position would be revealed if he used them frequently. That's why he authorized his subordinates to act directly without asking for instructions.
As for the so-called second plan of West Asia, it appeared in front of the Seven Princesses not long after. To put it bluntly, this plan is very simple, that is, to move those large magnetic iron plates out and use them as mobile shields. Although they are heavy. However, it is still easy to glide on the ice.
It's just that these iron plates have huge magnetism, and when they are moved from the ship, they often bring a lot of trouble to the relocation work because they are attracted or repelled by each other. Therefore, it will take a long time to move them out and rely on the gravitational pull between them to form a huge, wall-like protective bunker.
The most taboo thing to do when attacking is the so-called one-shot. So at the beginning, West Asia would rather waste some lives on an experimental attack than wait. After suffering losses under the Seventh Princess, he had to be honest.
After all, there were tens of thousands of people working with the cooperation of the mages, so soon after the attack was stopped, one after another chubby steel bunkers were built, and under the impetus of the soldiers, they slowly approached the fleet of the Seven Princesses from all directions.
The seventh princess was depressed when she saw it, this thing looked inconspicuous, but the effect was real. It was a few inches thick steel plates, and they were irregularly stained together, forming a large iron lump, which became thicker and thicker, and ordinary spells were helpless against such steel defenses. Even the most destructive mages can only sigh in amazement.
However, the seventh princess is the seventh princess after all, and although this situation is different from what she expected, she still quickly found a way to deal with it. She first ordered the elven mage to pour water on the big iron lumps that came from her, because the cold air created by the Holy See mage was too powerful, otherwise it would not have frozen such a large ice cap, so it was still in effect until now.
So, when the elven mage's water splashed on the iron lump, it quickly froze them together with the ice below. As a result, the Papal forces had to remove the ice before pushing the mounds, which greatly affected their advance.
At the same time, the Seventh Princess ordered the fire mages to start focusing on attacking the ice cap beneath the Great Iron Block. With the efforts of several fire mages, the ice that had been bombarded by them with magic began to melt into water, and the big iron lump naturally sank. At this time, the big iron lump is generally already half soaked in water. Then the water froze, and the big iron mound couldn't get out.
In this way, the Seventh Princess once again disrupted the frequency of Sia's attacks. However, on the big scene, the troops commanded by Xia Xia were still stubbornly approaching the troops of the Seven Princesses. Just when Sia thought he was winning. The seventh princess suddenly made another trick.
That is to order the skeleton mage to use the lowest spell in the undead system, the undead summon. The result of the five hundred Magister-level skeleton mages working together was to directly turn all the dead people on the battlefield into skeleton soldiers. At the same time, the mages on the side of the Seven Princesses turned on their mana and killed the Holy See troops hiding behind the bunker in pieces.
