Chapter 166: Times Have Changed

In the time leading up to the battle, Xiuge had been trying to absorb and digest the memories he had taken from the Descendants of the Abyss.

This time, he deliberately selected a considerable number of the memories of the soldiers of the Deland Kingdom for in-depth learning, and the content he focused on ingesting included but was not limited to the combat habits and experience of the Deland soldiers, several different local languages of the Deland, and some cognitions related to the town of the Black Forest.

He even used his knowledge of the Waters and Delan armies in his mind to simulate and imagine the offense and defense several times, but when the battle officially began, Xiuge still felt an unprecedented shock and impact.

There is always a huge difference between what we know about war through images, words, and memories and what we feel when we step into the battlefield.

In the Kingdom of Waterl, each army has a history and origin that can be traced, and they have been given different functions, missions and responsibilities at the beginning of their establishment, and it is precisely because of this that when they act, they will also show their own temperament and style.

The Chasers may not be the trump cards in the current Wattle Kingdom, but they are undoubtedly the elite who best reflect the nature of the Falcons.

Soar high in the sky, hunt for prey, and wait for your chance.

And when the time is ripe, he will become a cold-blooded and ruthless hunter and give his prey a fatal blow.

For those recruits who have just joined the Chasseur Corps and have not yet experienced real battles, such a temperament is still very far away, but at this moment, those veterans in the Fifth Chasseur Regiment have made the most vivid and perfect example for their juniors.

The moment they received the order to attack, they began to strictly execute every step of the plan.

Leave the woods where you are hiding, head towards a predetermined spot along the river, aim at your target and shoot without mercy.

The goal of the first attackers was simple - to control the river in front of them, to suppress the enemy's fire continuously, and to cover the mages who accompanied them to build temporary magical bunkers to establish the basic conditions for subsequent offensive operations.

As the best group of stream-level mages among the current Fifth Chasseur Regiment, Xiuge naturally entered this offensive echelon that ran parallel to danger and glory.

However, unlike the spellcasters who hid behind the soldiers and walked slowly, Xiug was holding a standard revolver rifle in his hand, and his rifle nest was filled with specially made full-power crystalline bullets.

After seeing firsthand the skill and accuracy of a veteran's marksmanship, Master Krautz asked for three pieces of crystallized ammunition for him, which led him to take on the extremely important task of finding key targets in the defense line on the opposite shore and giving them "the most cordial greetings" as he went.

In the magic perception that Xiuge had expanded with all his might, the figures and movements of the spellcasters in the distance were as dazzling as candles in the night, and he quickly found his first target, and immediately pulled the trigger of the revolver rifle in his hand.

"Boom!"

….

In the face of this powerful crystallized munition, all soundproofing rituals lost their meaning, a terrifying roar echoing through the edge of the woodland, and the bullet that could damage the gun itself flew straight towards the Judicial Council Mage who was busy performing the protective ritual.

The mage had obviously some battlefield experience, and he had already set up two layers of magic barriers on his body before performing the protective ritual for the position, but he did not expect that he would suffer such treatment in the first place after the battle.

In the explosion of magic caused by the crystallized ammunition, the two layers of magic barriers shattered like glass, and bullets from other soldiers easily burrowed into the mage's body, killing the caster's life and breath on the spot, along with the protective ritual that was about to be completed.

"The first."

Shuge read softly.

As the Wheel Rifle's nest turned, a large amount of mana vapor was emitted, and a second bullet was fired, and this time, the target of Xiuge was replaced by one set on the bridge

The pillbox to the right of the beam, where the shooting window was firing deadly crystallized bullets at the advancing soldiers of the Chasseur.

The chaotic light and the narrow window on the bunker did not hinder Xiuge's shooting in the slightest, so with the second roar, a violent magic explosion burst out in the bunker, and a large amount of blood mist even drifted out of the shooting window, which was needless to say.

However, the counterattack of the Black Forest Infantry Regiment also came extremely quickly.

Although the crystalline guns they used could not provide high-frequency shooting, at the rear of the position, there were magic crystal cannons that had been erected, and soon, some cannonballs fell on the soldiers of the advancing hunting regiment, and in the magic explosions and qi waves they created, the courage and tenacity of individuals were insignificant, and Xiuge even saw that some soldiers were directly lifted into the air, and his body even decomposed in the magic explosion, scattered everywhere.

A river, along with the six bridges on it, made up this particular Black Forest front, where death occurred on both sides of the riverbank, but the demise of the individual had no way to stop the confrontation between the two sides.

At this time, the entire Fifth Chasseur Regiment had completely terminated its magical silence, so as a lake-level magician, Wei Lin finally got the opportunity to fully display her magical ability, under her leadership, the special rifle team composed of mage apprentices followed the pace of the first echelon to appear in the field of vision of the Derans, and the complex magic pattern that had been prepared for a long time was completed in an instant, under the cover of a large-scale magic protection ritual, These new mage apprentices prostrate themselves on the ground according to the requirements of their training.

They carried a different revolver rifle than the other soldiers used – this one was longer and had an additional tripod.

These mage apprentices, who had already mastered the magic of "magic bow and arrow", immediately began a similar operation the moment they received Wei Lin's order, gritting their teeth in the dense sound of gunfire and deafening explosions, shaping their limited magic power into narrow magic bullets, and trembling to fill them into the nest of the wheel bullet.

….

"Calm down, don't think too much...... You're safe."

At such moments, the words from the female scholar became clearer, and the cold tone and surging magic calmed the thoughts and emotions of these magic apprentices who had set foot on the battlefield for the first time, and then, the large magic that had been used in dense shooting arrays in the past era came into play, and the stable magic circuit connected the magic of all the shooters.

As a result, in their field of vision, all the people and objects related to magic in the distance became clearly visible.

In the next second, this special mage rifle team began to carry out its own shooting mission.

The crystallized cannons, which were far away from the line and were constantly putting pressure on the hunting regiments, became the primary target of these special shooters, who didn't have to do much but repeat the simple actions over and over again.

Build bullets, reload, aim and shoot.

Although the marksmen were not as accurate as the experienced soldiers, the relatively calm shooting environment and the light and shadow of the magical ritual that hung over them and constantly hummed slightly gave them a great deal of confidence and allowed them to play their true role at this moment.

At this time, Xiuge had already followed the first echelon to the bank of the river, and after using the magic protection on his body and several Calon touches to barely resist the two crystalline bullets fired from the opposite bank, Xiuge immediately raised his revolver rifle to counterattack, and after firing the last two high-powered bullets in the nest, he immediately put down the revolver rifle, picked up the magic book instead, and began the construction of temporary bunkers with the other spellcasters who arrived at the front line.

It's complicated to say, but it's actually quite simple.

Cast three or four different types of war spells in a calculated order, using dirt and rocks along the river beach as base materials, forcibly construct bunkers that can be used to avoid the aftermath of bullets and magical explosions, and then magically fortify them several times to ensure that these bunkers can be used for a certain period of time.

So, in the fierce counterattack of the Desa, look at it together

The crude, but incomparably important wall, was erected along the riverbank, and after the reinforcement process was complete, the caster who specialized in battlefield protection rituals immediately hid behind the low wall to build one protection ritual after another, so that the subsequent soldiers could continue to complete the advance.

At this delicate distance, direct confrontation between mages inevitably took place.

All sorts of lethal spells were used by the members of the Legislature, who were absolutely confident in this aspect, and some of these spellcasters had even begun to try to dismantle the makeshift bunkers erected by the hunting regiments using intricate rituals.

In their opinion, the actions of these Waterl soldiers are stupid, they have paid so much, just to build some earthen walls that will not last long?

"It doesn't make sense!"

The mages of the Legislature thought so, as did the officers of Deresa in the line, so they immediately gave orders to the rear, and soon a special team arrived from the rear in the line where the battle was being fought.

….

Unlike the normal Teresa soldiers, the members of this team wore dark blue cloaks, and they were armed with sturdy armor and two silver swords, one long and one short, in addition to carrying a new type of crystalline gun.

As Willin had previously guessed, in the town of the Black Forest, there are Iris Guards.

Moreover, this is a special personal guard team that has been supported by Merlinle and has taken a lot of potions, and they even carry small portable secret ceremonies, which gives them the confidence to gallop in small-scale battlefields and conflicts.

"Can't let them get near the bridge! Destroy their makeshift bunkers and clear out their mages!"

The Iris guards immediately began to carry out the orders they had received, and in the eyes of all, the warriors who had previously served as the royal family and the capital of Teresa rushed out of the line with nimble steps, and under the cover of magic, cannonballs, and crystallized bullets, they rushed to the bridge and met the members of the hunting regiment who were also trying to climb the bridge.

As a special being who enjoys a great reputation in the whole of Vann, these terrifying magic swordsmen showed their true power at the first time, as if they were to announce to everyone present that the era of magic was not over, and they were not afraid of the fire of the revolver rifle and the explosion caused by the alchemy bomb, so that the Chasseur assault team that tried to land the bridge suffered great damage in the first place.

Blades forged from strangler silver can easily stifle incoming lethal magic, as well as slicing through human bodies and destroying magical protection.

For a while, the offensive momentum of the hunting regiment was forcibly blocked by these soldiers armed with sharp blades and guns.

"Damn, how did times change again?"

Xiuge scolded secretly, because he saw that the team of iris guards had been dispersed into two parts, and one of them actually swept directly in the direction where he was, not far away, a stream-level mage became their primary target, seeing that the head of the council mage was about to be cut off on the spot, Xiuge decisively got up, the tooth of the hound was pinched in his hand, and in the terrifying roar, a strange bullet flew directly towards the iris guard who rushed to the front.

After all, the power from the court of the Abyss is not comparable to ordinary magic.

The guard didn't have time to react, his body and the small ritual he was wearing had already fallen apart under the strange power of the court hounds, and only his two arms and the silver sword they held fell to the ground.

Such a strange and terrifying scene attracted almost everyone's attention, and Shuge naturally became the focus of these iris guards.

Just as Xiuge was ready to expose all his abilities to fight these terrible mage killers, a sound that made the members of the hunting regiment feel comfortable, but made the Deran soldiers stunned, suddenly came from the direction of the woodland.

It was so dense and coherent that it was like a storm that had suddenly descended on the land

The iris guards of the attacking echelon of the Destruction Chasseur shrouded themselves.

It was a torrential rain of bullets.

It was a horrific picture painted by countless metals.

Under the fire of several Kalfan heavy machine guns, who had already pushed out of the woodland and began their own bloody work, the Iris guards who had rushed to the attack line of the Chasseur immediately paid a terrible price for Commander Deresa's mistaken decision.

Times, after all, have changed.
