Chapter 54: A flash of inspiration
"You mean these soldiers will keep popping up from there, and they won't be able to kill them all?" Birdwin's mouth was open, he was the only general present who had fought with those soldiers, and he knew the extent of the psychological shadow that those soldiers had caused him. The generals who had not fought with those soldiers www.biquge.info also knew the strength of the captain in the elite, and even they could understand what kind of enemy he was afraid of.
"Not necessarily, the main thing is to understand whether the magic is summoning magic or teleportation magic. If it is teleportation magic, although the magic array exists permanently, the soldiers on the other side of the teleportation array should also have a day when the teleportation is completed, although the war will be difficult, but there is still a way. Bert looked at the battle-hardened generals at the scene, and hurriedly comforted them. The morale of the soldiers is important, but the morale of the generals is even more important, if they are all discouraged, how can this battle be fought.
"That's... What if it's a summoning circle?" Bishop Xia Zuo, who was sitting on the side, broke the silence.
"It's easier to do if it's a summoning circle, no matter what kind of summoning magic it is, its summons must have a duration. The summon will be automatically destroyed as long as its duration expires, so it is safe to stay outside a certain radius depending on their marching speed. ”
"Then we just need to clear the wall to avoid the problem of war, and it doesn't matter if we give up Tallinn Fort in the end. After all, Satya and they also have to face these enemies. "There have been things like this in history, such as the caves that swallow people, the mysterious suicide forests, and the seas where ships always disappear. People can't overcome natural factors, as long as it doesn't spread outward, just avoid it.
"That being said, we can't let it go on like this, and I feel like I need to go back to the Academy of Magic and report this to the mentors. They must have a way around it. ”
"I agree with Bert that our mission is to prevent your two countries from going to war. But now that the situation has become like this, it is no longer something we can save, so it is better to go back and discuss the specific matters than to spend it here. "As a representative of a third country and a central figure in their entire diplomatic corps, what he says determines their overall opinion.
"However, our two countries have already signed a mutual war agreement, and we will leave some priests behind to help you treat your wounded soldiers. Try to keep these people out of Tallinn Castle to avoid the loss of life. ”
"Well, thank you Bishop for your kindness. Please go back and rest first, and I will send a small team of knights to escort you to the nearest city early tomorrow morning. Forgive us for not being able to divide too many soldiers to protect you. ”
Xia Zuo nodded in gratitude, and then several people left the council hall one after another, and before leaving, Bert also made a point of mentioning the old man in the marshal's uniform that he saw in the magic array. Hebrew was silent for a long time, and at last he sighed and said nothing.
After everyone left, several high-ranking generals stayed behind to discuss the next matters. "Marshal, does the messenger sent earlier have a reply?" Birdwin had just returned to the city, and he did not know what had happened.
Hebrew shook his head, "I sent it out early in the morning, only to be brought back by the patrolmen. "It is the most basic common sense that the two armies do not fight each other, and although there was only one encounter between the two sides, the other side actually killed the diplomatic envoy, and the meaning is self-evident.
"I will send someone to the imperial capital to send urgent military information, and it will take at least half a year for the diplomatic corps to return to the imperial capital. Then send a message to the nearby cities as well, telling them to be sure to guard against the soldiers. Beware of the stragglers of Satya, who are now more chaotic than we are, but there are still 300,000 armored soldiers, and if they disturb our rear, we will really be alone. "Hebrew, as the commander of one side, had to take responsibility for the defense of the entire region.
"Do you need to send in some more soldiers?" asked the dragon knight Cosimo, who had just returned from the camp, and now there were only five full brigades of soldiers left in the city. Such a force is simply stretched for an important town like Tallinnburg.
"No, there are no signs of siege in them yet, and no siege weapons have been found, and now a large-scale mobilization of troops will cause chaos. They are not Satya, and there is no need to toss around for too long for our lonely city. If they take advantage of the situation, it will be troublesome to seize the city behind us. ”
"When will reinforcements from the imperial capital arrive?" Cosimo looked at the map behind the council chamber, at this time the empire was too large and became a burden. It took half a year for the diplomatic mission to travel from the imperial capital to Tallinnburg, and it took several months for the Imperial Military Department to draw soldiers from several towns near the imperial capital to form a full-fledged force.
"It will take three months at the earliest. "Hebrew threw out an unacceptable time.
Three months was enough for the fall of Tallinn several times. Now we can only hope that the teleportation circle will be slower, if the portal cannot be closed, Tallinn Fort will face a steady stream of enemy troops, and it is really a very troublesome problem whether to defend or abandon.
"If they attack the city, assign the conscripts to each brigade to help defend the city. "It was really a last resort, otherwise the three noble knights would not be willing to do this. Some of the conscripts were merchants, others academics, and they had only experienced the simplest combat techniques, and if they were allowed to fight against foreign soldiers, even defending the city, they would suffer a large number of casualties.
Cosimo and Birdwin didn't speak again, and Hebrew slumped in his chair and sighed, "Maxim is also dead in battle, I wonder if we will follow him too." ”
The sun stands in the sky hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the mainland, and the blinding sunlight does not shine into the darkness in the shadows.
Bert couldn't sleep for a long time after returning to the house, and although he tossed for a long time and a night, his mind could not be calmed. Before he turned twenty, he had experienced so much, and he was born in a remote village and longed for an ordinary life. He once fantasized about himself when he grew old in Mino, lying on a bed made of withered grass every day until he woke up naturally, and the noise of his children and grandchildren outside the window. Get a favorite animal, not a crow, but a cat. Occasionally stroll through the forest, follow the aroma of wine to the village of Stauffen, and buy a pot of turbid wine. Greeting each other with acquaintances, the day passed inexplicably.
Magic, war, alien. Everything is like a dream, maybe you will wake up after a sleep, but you can't fall asleep or wake up.
