Chapter 107: Project Langlo
Flotation.
Out of the hundreds of spells, levitation is the only one that can be mastered by both priests and magicians, and it is the most used of all spells.
Most people who don't know magic can easily understand levitation as flying, but in fact, these are two very different kinds of magic. Moreover, after the Demon Martial War, for some reason, no one remembered the spell of this magic and completely lost it.
Levitation has become an alternative to flying, but the distance between the two is worlds apart.
The so-called levitation technique is to make the caster leave the ground for a certain distance through magic, and this distance increases or decreases with the magician's proficiency in wind magic, but even a great magician can only make the cast spell a few tens of meters away from the ground at most, beyond this distance, the controlled wind magic spirit has no power. In other words, instead of causing the caster to lose weight, the levitation technique uses the wind spirits to exert power on the ground or other entities to make the human body float.
In stark contrast, the phantom beasts, who never chanted, had not lost their flying levitation skills, and the height and time of levitating in the air were incomparable to those of humans, perhaps this was a gift from the Creator.
- Chapter 107 of "Reading the Encyclopedia: Filling in the Gaps", the 6th summer and February of the magical calendar of the Langluo Project.
The second offensive and defensive battle of Hamburg City entered a stalemate stage, and both Marquis Lin and Dahaino had more than enough combat power in their hands to attack enough.
In this case, Marquis Lin quickly sent a large number of phantom beast knights and dragon knights to inform the major cities in the north of the empire that were still loyal to the empire, and Marquis Lin issued the famous Gyeonggi Theater Joint Defense Regulations of the Amy Empire: 1. It is strictly forbidden for any city and local nobles to send reinforcements to Hamburg City, and the military commanders in various regions must do a good job in the defense of their own territories, and the nobles in each region must obey the command of the local supreme military commander, and have the responsibility to provide corresponding troops and materials in accordance with the obligations and regulations of the imperial nobles; All settlements within a radius of 20 miles of the city, including small towns, were to be set on fire, all inhabitants moved into walled cities to live, the original sources of drinking water were destroyed as much as possible, the walls were cleared, and if any inhabitants did not move, they were to be executed on the spot according to the crime of collaborating with the enemy; All forests within 2,000 meters of the city shall be cut down to prevent them from being used by the enemy to make siege equipment and to supplement the needs of the city's defense; all cities shall be put on first-class security, and the military governors of all localities shall be the first of all local officials, and no one shall interfere with military operations, and anyone who obstructs military operations, regardless of his rank or official position, shall be immediately dismissed from his post and investigated; 4. Severely punish those who betray the country, once any nobleman defects to the enemy, all those in his family who are military or local officials in the army will be sent to the end and sent to prison, waiting for the double examination of the imperial military department and the official department, and then they will be dealt with; the head of the aristocratic family who defects to the enemy is automatically listed as a state criminal, and whoever kills the head of the family will automatically receive the title of nobility of the family, and will take effect immediately after waiting for the examination of the imperial military department.
5. Generals in various localities should actively respond to the battle, constantly harass the enemy's rear, and those who kill the enemy's generals or have outstanding military merits will be given priority in promotion by the military department, and the officials will be given priority to the title of nobility.
For the mountainous areas on the edge of the outbreak of war, Marquis Lin knew that most of these areas had almost no ability to supply themselves except for some local products of weaving, so Marquis Lin ordered that all cities in similar areas could be abandoned, and all residents could withdraw to inland cities with the army.
History proves that Lin He, who was eventually promoted to the king of the imperial county, not only has excellent war ability, but also has a political and official vision far beyond ordinary generals and even feudal officials.
Beginning in the summer and February of the 6th year of the Magic Calendar, the army under the Marquis of Lin shrank on all fronts, abandoning remote areas in large areas, and finally formed a defensive network with large cities as points and mainland roads as lines. The garrison cities have effectively responded to each other, one city has police, and three to four cities can quickly respond and provide support through the mainland highway.
After that, before the arrival of the summer and February of the 7th year of the magic calendar, the remote areas that had already rebelled and the forces of the Western Emperor who instigated the rebellion had to drink the bitter wine brewed by themselves. In less than half a year, the surplus food in these areas has been eaten by the mob, the hungry mob wants to storm the major cities, the people who have no experience in war have no officer command, except for leaving one corpse after another under the various city walls, there will be no real results.
At this moment, someone with a heart began to instigate: "Since it is His Majesty the Western Emperor and His Majesty the Pope who canonized everyone's throne, then, I think that a holy monarch like His Majesty Reynolds must have prepared countless delicacies for everyone in the Central Holy Land." ”
Although a considerable number of mob leaders did not know how to read, such words did sound familiar, as if there was such a statement in the royal decree - it is a pity that the royal decree has already been used up in the toilet, otherwise it would have been taken and seen.
Even this did not affect the mob's admiration for His Majesty Reynolds, and countless mobs dressed in various tattered clothes rushed to Scambrai (His Majesty Reynolds) to make a majestic wave on the mainland road.
Poor Reynolds, because he has not effectively occupied the grain-producing areas of the Eminole Continent, even if he occupies several pitiful grain-producing areas of the mercenary empire, and does not gather the hearts of the people, then there are people who go to open fields to grow grain? There is even more surplus grain to deal with this million-level mob...... No...... Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe the victims of the disaster.
Of course, that's all for later.
In the city of Hamburg, Amy commanded several raids against the Hudahaino barracks, lackluster. The previous raid was successful, it was really an accident, and the strength of that raid was second to none in the early stage of the War of the Gods, there were more than 20 people at the level of captain alone, and there were more than 1,000 people with titles such as squadron leader, squad leader, and imperial knight, as well as dwarf warriors and even more terrifying dwarven knights. In addition, there was a breakthrough from the outside line, and the defense of the Dahaino military camp focused on the inner line, so that there were such brilliant results.
After the official formation, Dahaino's military camp was extremely strict, and in the middle of the night, Amy couldn't send dragon knights to raid, every time it was a dwarf knight and a phantom beast knight, and there was basically no gain.
During the day, Amy also planned several raids by dragon knights, but unfortunately, close to the camp, the Phanos soldiers had more than 30 intact ballistas, and far away with the dragon's breath, there were 11 high-level mages and priests here in Dahaino, casually teaming up to release two large defensive arrays, and ordinary dragons' dragon breath balls could not break through at all. The magister has a level of weight that surpasses that of the dragon knight in any country, which is a symbol of strength, and in a one-on-one situation, ordinary dragons will never be able to take advantage of the magister. What's more, there are also two dragons in the Dahaino military camp, waiting for the enemy to show a flaw.
Therefore, such a sneak attack trick has been used several times without results, and Amy does not bother to use it again.
However, the small mercenary group blocking the swordsman battalion has gained a lot recently, groups of young children sneaked into the ice and snow jungle at night, little by little towards the Phanos military camp, once they encountered a lone enemy or even a patrol of less than 10 people, they immediately burst into a fight, and in just over 10 days, more than 200 enemies were killed.
This situation was changed after Dahaino quickly transferred a large number of hand crossbows, and the orcs went out to patrol, and once they encountered a suspicious place, they first shot with the hand crossbow, and then passed. This tactic forced the small mercenary group to block the line of the swordsman battalion back by as much as 200 meters.
In this way, Amy and the officers of the small mercenary group took turns thinking of a toss-up solution, Dahaino broke it in the camp, and the city of Hamburg was also very lively. It's a pity that the neighborhood has already been under martial law, otherwise, with Amy's character, I think she would definitely sell tickets openly to raise gold and silver.
Amy also specifically consulted the Marquis of Linhe -- this Dahaino can also be called a commander who knows how to use his troops well, what does it mean to stay under the city of Hamburg like this, and not advance or retreat? It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not happen at all, hundreds of miles below the city of Hamburg are full of primeval forests, and transportation is quite inconvenient, how much grain and grass do these tens of thousands of people consume to eat horses under the mountain? How much grain and grass and combat power do they have to consume to send these grains and grass up the mountain? Could it be that there is a contradiction within the enemy's army? Dahaino will not delay time here, right? Such irresponsible thoughts popped out of Amy's head.
And it's not a long-term solution.
The city of Hamburg can be above 3,000 meters above sea level, and in the middle of the year, that is, from summer January to summer March, it is in a non-ice period, starting from autumn and January, there is one day of snow in three days, and in autumn and February, that is the heavy snow covering the mountain. In such a cold climate, it is difficult for soldiers from southern Xinjiang to bear the body of living in tents in the wilderness. At that time, it will not be a matter of whether Dahainuo wants to retreat or not, and the small mercenary group that started in the Ice and Snow Continent will let them go?
Without waiting for a few days, the swordsman battalion reported up, and the Fanos battalion suddenly strengthened its vigilance, and the roving knights had already patrolled to a distance of thousands of kilometers to the forest, not only that, but the sky above the enemy camp was also listed as a forbidden place, two dragon knights and five or six phantom beast knights often circled in the sky, and only one day later, the dragon knights patrolling the sky above the Dahaino military camp actually increased by one.
What's going on?
Amy and Daqingshan visited the Marquis of Linhe again, and the three of them thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out what was wrong. Isn't it that the enemy's three magisters are ready to release some large-scale magic? No, the ice magicians can only release large-scale ice-based magic, such a distance, only forbidden spells can reach, to be honest, even if these three magisters can cast meteor showers, Hamburg City is not the camp of the Colorful Dragon Knights, and the meteor shower will not have much effect.
No one is perfect, Amy, Daqingshan, and even Count Linhe have experienced relatively few wars after all, and the offensive and defensive battles of Hamburg City have always been in the upper hand, coupled with the prestige of Hamburg City, most people do not believe that such a strong city can be conquered! Alas...... History proves that no matter how great a hero is, once he is a little sloppy, he will make mistakes, and this is true of Amy, and the same is true of Daqingshan.
Marquis Lin was also going to find Amy, and he was going to hand over all the defenses of Hamburg City to Amy - all armies, including friendly forces from the Mountain Dwarven Kingdom, were under Amy's direct command before he repelled Dahaino. Lin He, on the other hand, was going to take advantage of the recent time to go to the war zone of the original Viscount Fan with a few phantom beast knights to inspect it, and by the way, boost morale.
"I also want to visit the fiefdoms of some old friends around. Amy, you also know that you should not be bad, and you should not be on your own. All these years, since I served in the Imperial Army, alas...... Basically, there is no time for themselves, the old duke and His Majesty are strict with themselves, and those who are subordinates must be 120,000 careful, this time...... I finally have some time for myself, and I have some old friends, so I always have to arrange time to come out and have a look. ”
What the hell is this, Amy muttered to herself. The more polite Marquis Lin said, the more Amy thought became. In the northern part of the empire, especially in the mountainous areas, most of the territories were given to the nobles of the imperial civil ranks, such as the former vice-chancellor of the empire and some of the vassals who were attached to him. Amy picked up casually and quietly: "Oh, I suggest that Lord Shuai arrange more outdoor activities, such as hunting or something, which is still good for physical and mental health, but, my lord, if you encounter any interesting prey, you might as well bring some back to our subordinates, and also open our eyes." "That means very clearly, in such a situation of soldiers pressing, I still want to take revenge quickly, it's okay, I always have to give some hard money to the soldiers in front.
Lin He snorted and agreed casually.
The Marquis went out on patrol, this is a good thing, after all, Lin He has been in Hamburg City for a long time, and the soldiers of the non-small mercenary group system in the city are somewhat slack, and the officers of the imperial captain or even higher level are somewhat contemptuous of these young people in the small mercenary group, and it is a taboo in the war to order multiple doors.
"In order to ensure the safety of the adults, among the four dragon knights of the small mercenary group, two of them should go out on patrol with the adults, otherwise, it will be a very troublesome thing in case the other party gathers the dragon knights to sneak attack. "Now there are more dragon knights in the Reynolds legion, and the Marquis of Linhe has just recently become a dragon knight, in case there is a mistake, it will be a big trouble.
On February 18, the summer of the 6th year of the magic calendar, the Marquis of Linhe led two dragon knights and four phantom beast knights to leave Hamburg City to patrol the west coast of the empire.
On the morning of February 22, the summer of the 6th year of the magic calendar, Amy and Daqingshan were in the recruit camp to see several captains from the frozen continent to help train the recruits. It's just that almost all of the recruits this time come from military families, and what is even more coincidental is that one of them has a 17-year-old recruit who found his father among several captains of the Northern Federation Brigade.
With this layer of relationship, of course Amy will not take advantage of it, no need to spend money to find free labor, and will be more attentive than spending money to find, such a good thing can not be encountered at any time, Amy is fine in the morning, simply come to the recruit camp to secretly learn and see what the training of the non-Chi Hanfeng department is like.
At 11 a.m., a small whirlpool of wind suddenly blew in the boot camp, and broken snowflakes rose with the wind.
This is normal, Amy and Da Qingshan didn't pay much attention to this, and at this moment, the sky suddenly became dark, well?
There was a panicked footstep outside the boot barracks, the door was pushed open, and two or three mercenaries and soldiers from different systems broke in at the same time, and everyone showed extremely strange and surprised looks on their faces: "Big ...... My lord, look, outside, there's a city outside......"
This news stunned Da Qingshan, Amy, and several Imperial captains.
Amy and Daqingshan immediately glanced at each other, and both of them saw shock and panic in each other's eyes!
According to legend, during the most glorious period of the Magic Empire in human history, powerful magicians used the abundant magic spirits between heaven and earth as a source of power to build huge cities in the air that were no less than the gods, these cities were suspended in the air for hundreds to thousands of meters, flowing clouds continued to float through the city, colorful fountains flew in the city square, and all kinds of beautiful animals that should have gathered in the Phantom Beast Paradise showed their most beautiful figures to people in the city garden.
No...... Is that the one coming out? It's the only place where there is the magic that makes the city soar.
