Chapter 306: Distant Battles and Close-Up Observations
The year-long march finally came to an end at a certain point, and the main forces of the three parties, together with a number of servant armies, slave armies, and millions of people, formed three war groups distributed up and down on the vast border line from north to south.
On the other side of them, the United States of the Far East also took out the main force and servants totaling nearly 10 million troops during the time they waited, and emptied the non-war 'human' population of the entire Western Front;
They are located in the western subordinate and slave divisions, and after being requisitioned almost all the young men who can go to the battlefield or complete supply tasks;
The rest of the old, weak, young and disabled were required to move eastward with the means of production, and at the same time clear the wilderness, they became 'human' hostages in a certain sense, so as to avoid the emergence of certain extreme conditions, such as the situation of the servant army defecting to the battlefield.
In the process, they also divided three fortress clusters according to the north and south, with fixed altars as the center and movable war altars as fulcrums, establishing a dense defense system;
In addition, the United States also set aside some of the main forces to prepare for a detour to the territory of the Two Kingdoms and the Queen's Kingdom to fight their supplies, and the long line of grain and grass transport routes behind the Lai Yin army was also a better target;
Although attacking the camp will face the attack of the altar, and the movement of the altar will be restricted for the convenience of your own movement, the truncation of the supply route can be attempted.
~~~~~~~
Among the top three, in fact, only the first-line elders were personally recruited by the first-line elders, and the other two parties were princesses or commanders in charge of the war, and the big leaders stayed in the country.... At least that's what the situation is showing at this point.
Seeing the preparations made by the United States, Kessel sent an envoy and proposed to concentrate his forces on the central route, while only part of the army was left to contain the north and south.
His proposal was the first to receive a positive response from the commander of the Menglu on the southern front, because the Menglu country already had the ability to communicate for a long time at this time, so it was promised by the two kings thousands of miles away at the first time.
On the northern front, the Seventeenth Princess of Fangs also hesitated for a while, and then approved this plan on her own, and then started the main force to move south and in the direction of the middle road.
Naturally, the Far East also noticed this change, and the thirteen forces in the kingdom also assigned their respective tasks because of it, and began to transfer some of the main forces to the middle lane.
As a result, only a few months later, the East and West gathered a dense army of tens of millions in the middle of the road.
At the same time, taking advantage of long-distance instant communication and 'radar' exploration, the Menglu State carried out a new round of secret military deployment as soon as it learned of this change......
The two kings quietly left the capital, and then led the main force of 200,000 Mengli and the army of 3 million patrons to the southern front, seemingly intending to form a stronger offensive from the south after the start of the middle war.
Of course, their plans, and some new abilities, were secretly revealed by a well-meaning force through some deliberate coincidence after some time had passed;
As a result, whether it is 'detection' or 'instant communication', these two technologies that are regarded as the bottom of the box and used to focus on cracking down and even turning the tables at critical moments have become well-known in the following months.
Of course, the war had already sprung up in the middle before that......
~~~~~~~~~
Laiyin's main attack direction, a corner of the battlefield
As the master mother danced, the large movable war altars behind the battle array lit up with brilliance;
Immediately, a fanatical, seemingly insane cannon fodder army began to surge like a tide of sand, and shouted slogans such as 'I am a hero' and 'I will sacrifice', and suddenly marched towards a large fortress pig;
Along the way, in addition to dodging the large and small boulders falling from the sky, they also had to watch out for high-speed wind blades, ice guns, and fireballs sprayed from the front.....
From time to time, when the cannon fodder approached due to the superiority in numbers, there were also large-scale attacks used to wash the floor, leaving them either frozen in ice, or steamed and crushed by magma balls tens of meters away, or turned into charcoal by high-explosive pure fireballs that exploded in the center;
But in any case, relying on the deliberately scattered formation, the number of ants and cockroaches, and the distorted fanatical spirit, they were forced by the Lord's Mother War Slave Warlord in the rear, and finally approached the tall wall at the defensive end, and then erected a ladder and began to climb upward.
Later, there were battering rams, which had slipped through the net, and Yuntai approaching, with the former being responsible for bombarding the city gates, and the latter throwing weapons into the fortress city.
In the rear, the siege engines, which were constantly throwing boulders, were also repeatedly roaring;
However, most of the attacks from them were shattered by the altar inside the fortress in mid-air, and then became one of the arms to kill and injure their own mentally handicapped minions.
Of course, the main mothers and the Laiyin warriors didn't care about this, all they wanted was to deplete the energy reserves of the enemy altar in order to pave the way for the subsequent main attack.
And in order to better form oppression, thousands of war slaves carried more than a dozen war altars and slowly moved forward, and the air cavalry and ground cavalry also roared to form guards on their left and right, and slowly approached;
In front of the altar, the private war slaves of the master mothers, as well as the more powerful army of servants, are also pressing under the cover of the altar at this time.
In such a situation, the ground in front of the fortress in the distance suddenly cracked, and after devouring a large number of mentally handicapped servants, hundreds of mantis-like soldiers with two knives jumped up from it, causing a large number of casualties in an instant.
After that, the dance posture of the master mother changed, and the cold and solemn more than 1,000 war slaves changed their faces to be full of enthusiasm in an instant, and then rushed straight towards the mantis warriors.....
It is one of the thirteen main clans of the enemy, but if you can kill one, these war slaves will receive gifts from the Great Master, such as money, slave girls, food, etc.
At the same time, the shamans on the defensive side, with the blessing of the inner altar, also used spells to attack in the direction of the war slaves, and took a large number of parts from them;
But the war slaves continued to move forward as if unconsciously, and then in the midst of casualties, they barely dragged down the mantis double-swordsmen, who were much smaller in number.
As a result, the light of the altar was tilted on dozens of high-ranking Laiyin warriors, and the air cavalry under its illumination, as if possessed by the spirit of the ancestors, were full of power, and then swept towards the bottom of the fortress.
The sound of 'bang bang bang' was in my ears, but at the very front of the air cavalry cluster, there seemed to be a strange invisible deflection field, and all the oncoming spells and physical attacks were unprovoked at this moment and slipped in the rest of the directions, without causing any damage to them.
At the very front of their head-on approach, the group of mantis warriors has sensed the imminent danger and has begun to seek to disengage from the enemy;
But at this time, the war slaves and countless mentally handicapped servants had already bitten their way home and blocked their way back.
Even though more spells descended from the city, tearing the hordes of minions apart from the attack, the Mantis soldiers were still held back by the enemy who followed them.
So, when the Laiyin Sky Cavalry swept into the encirclement and launched a fierce attack that did not distinguish between the enemy and us, hundreds of mantis soldiers were undoubtedly turned into flesh and blood.
Immediately, the air cavalry touched the ground and rebounded, hoping to leave the attack range and return to the main force before the altar effect on the body dissipated;
But four thick walls of fire lit up at this time, and formed a containment ring including the empty road, and then slowly shrank inward, and the servants and war slaves in their passage were burned to charcoal, and even the invisible realm around the High Lai Yin cluster became dangerous in a short time.
Inside the defenders, the shamans above an altar were fierce, and even if the branch defense fortress was eventually breached, they vowed to make the marauders who had crossed the continent pay, and this group of high-ranking Raiders was one of the best targets.
The sound of a vast horn sounded outside the fortress, and legions of minions pounced on the shrinking flame barriers, consuming them with their own flesh, while the air cavalry also compressed the formation from the inside out.
The heat of the flames penetrated the unknown realm, scorching themselves and their sitting partners, and the higher Lai Yin could not complement the mount as efficiently as the core Lyin, so not only did they feel tired at this time, but even the mount that sat down the day after tomorrow also let out a burst of pain.
Fortunately, shamanic spells of this scale are extremely energy-intensive, and the physical 'dedication' of the cannon fodder also effectively shares its power, so that the air cavalry can maintain themselves in a short period of time.
Moreover, the master mothers have issued the clarion call for a general attack, and the tens of thousands of servant troops gathered on this side, thousands of main forces of different levels, have begun to rush forward regardless of attrition......
Four terrifying earth lions, tens of meters in height, moved their heavy steps, approaching the fortress like stones in the sand;
They were like a solid wall, struck by countless attacks from the altar, but still firmly pressed towards the inner line;
There are also countless war effects that scatter around the core Earth Lion, forming a separation from negative effects such as weakness from the defenders.
With the blessing of these effects, the small war slaves and servants in front of them, who were responsible for opening the way and sharing the damage, in addition to the spiritual 'fanaticism', also produced the 'bravery' on the physical side in a short period of time;
Their bodies have become more solid, their movements have become more swift and strong, and the meager strength that could be harvested with a wind blade and a fireball in the past has become able to withstand several attacks without dying;
This, coupled with the spiritual blessing that made them ignore their fears, instantly created an army of tens of thousands of cockroaches that did not know what to retreat and did not fear blood and death, and caused great trouble to the defenders at the moment.
But as the earth lion moved forward firmly, the few hostesses who stayed at the altar behind showed a tired look, but they still insisted on maintaining a certain ability until the moment they approached the city wall....
In the next moment, I saw the four behemoths speeding up violently, and a golden light visible to the naked eye formed in front of each of them, and then there was a powerful impact on the thick city wall;
After that, the city wall underwent a process of denting, crumbling, and then collapsing in a short period of time, and even with the blessing of the defenders, four large holes were created....
At this point, the Earth Lions fell into a brief period of weakness, and scorching fireballs, sharp ice blades, and pulsing plasma burst out of the hole and struck them straight at their bodies;
The howl sounded in an instant, the skin cracked, large strands of blood spurted out, and the four earth lions could not stop retreating and fell to the ground weakly.
However, their task has been accomplished......
Having been following behind the body of the earth lion, the group of ordinary warriors who rode the wild lion population, and the high cavalry who were several numbers smaller than the core, puffed out their muscles and burst into the city with a howl of rage;
And after them, the remaining more than 20,000 war slaves and servants also rushed into the city with red eyes.
In the rear, four of the mistresses looked at their fallen companions in distress, and then continued to order the war slaves to carry the war altar forward, preparing to further envelop it and spread into the interior of the fortress;
And when these dozen or so altars all approached the fortress and activated the field effect that could be maintained for a short time, the real main force of the ground-air cavalry finally went into battle....
Above, there were five griffons that were also tens of meters in size, leading more than a hundred high-altitude cavalry behind them, as well as hundreds of 'wild griffon' citizen cavalry, under the cover of the altar, to begin the assault on the interior of the fortress;
The big ones can take away dozens of enemy fighters with a single blow, and the small ones can also harvest more than a dozen fighters in an instant;
Even the most inferior griffin cavalry will charge all the way through the ground, leaving a straight path of flesh and blood.
After that, the remaining six core Earth Lions also made their way towards the city walls, opening several passages in different areas.....
This time, however, they did not suffer from a powerful concentrated attack, and even the protective spells on the city walls became as fragile as masonry under the suppression of their own altars;
As a result, the six big men burst into the city unabated, bringing great deterrence and casualties to the enemy buildings and warriors, and more of their own warriors entered the fortress along the passage they had created.
After about a black forest light hour passed, 13 loud bangs were heard from the very core of the attack direction, which 'burned' everything around it into white ground, and at the same time announced the complete loss of this large fortress.
A long whistling sound sounded in the air and on the ground, and it was the mounts of the main mothers, as well as a few male core warriors (the males had too much internal self-damage, so they were inferior to the master mothers in the whole number), and they were declaring victory in a show of power.
Subsequently, the shamans of the thirteen core races of the Far East were slaughtered, but all the warriors who survived and were willing to surrender became prisoners, and they were brought back to their tents intact and became important bargaining chips for supplies and slaves after the war.
At the same time, the servant army, slave army, and supply people who belonged to the enemy in the city were all used as slaves to offset their own losses in the low-end forces of the siege after being punished and warned in accordance with mainland tradition.
According to the rules, these slaves will be treated differently for themselves and the small tribes that may also be captured in the future, such as 'low-level slave departments', 'cannon fodder departments', and 'subordinate departments at all levels', according to their performance in subsequent wars;
】
And the best individuals among them have the opportunity to improve the treatment of the small tribe from which they came from while becoming the 'master mother war slave';
Of course, the premise of all this is to survive and gain merit and favor......
At the moment, the war shamans looked at the depleted 'divine blood' in the altar and showed bitter expressions for the first time.....
"The consumption is too great, it's really hard to say whether this battle is a gain or a loss..... Sister, what is the point of us saying that we are fighting this war across the entire continent? ”
"Yes, yes, if it is for slaves and subordinates, we may not get as many as those who died in the war, and after bringing them back, it will take time to 'raise' them....... What an inexplicable battle. ”
"But the warriors want to fight, the king wants to fight, even the other wants to fight, what can we do?"
~~~~~~~~~
The battle on this side is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the entire huge front;
In relative proximity, the Laiyin Group Army Group is also fighting large and small branch battles, both big victories and small victories, and at the same time, you can also see scenes of stalemate and even setbacks.
And a little farther away from the north and south ends of the middle road, the fangs and the meng beasts are also constantly fighting....
Among them, the former fights are more bloody, and with the blessing of some kind of bloody altar effect, the minions and slaves under their command can often obtain a distorted physique strengthening;
During the attack, unknown pieces of flesh from the lake of flesh were thrown into the city, and then burst open with a foul stench;
When exploded, the flesh residue will erode the air and destroy the water source at a rapid rate, creating a negative effect that even the restoration altar spell cannot fully resist;
Its level of damage seems to be undetermined, sometimes so powerful that it kills hundreds or thousands of enemies in an instant, and sometimes it just causes a lot of coughing.
Such a strange tactic, coupled with the slave army that was already extremely brave in front of them, and would take a piece with them in the self-explosion when they died, caused great trouble for the defenders of the northern front of the center;
Even though the tactics of the Fanged Queen's Kingdom are already famous, they still bring heavy damage and blows to them in both material and spiritual aspects....
The Seventeenth Princess, on the other hand, erected a huge palace in the midst of the main army that had barely moved, enjoying the bloody beauty of the battlefield while enjoying the service of the multi-ethnic heads.
On the southern front of the central lane, the Mongols' offensive was less ferocious than the first two due to the problem of the 'patron' system, because they did not in fact possess such fearless servants and servants who were fanatical in life and death;
However, the effect of the altar of the Two Kingdoms is the most varied, comprehensive, and relatively ornate.....
Although the physical bonus is limited to the Mengqi race in terms of effect, the negative effect against the enemy is not missing;
In addition, the countless purple rays in the battle, as well as the thunder pool plasma flying in the sky, really have a powerful killing effect and deterrence;
And when fighting within the area covered by the altar, the Menghu warriors will also have a thunder and lightning effect in their attacks, which can not only cause global inefficient paralysis in the area where the attack falls, but also form a single strong paralysis when targeting some strong people;
As a result, these hulking warriors were able to circumvent their agility weaknesses to some extent and further exploit their strength to the extreme.
~~~~~~~~~
In the elf headquarters, the giant fang was staring at the 'audio-visual totem machine' in front of him at this time, and from time to time because of the attack methods of those Mengqiu warriors and the effects they could achieve, they showed an exclamation expression of 'I see' and 'I can still do this', and then picked up the pen and paper on the side and quietly recorded something.
Not only him, but almost all the elves who were resting were basically watching the real-time or delayed broadcast in the totem machine at this time, and thus understood the fighting methods of the powerful enemies in the north and the ability of large-scale wars;
To this end, the Republic has recently temporarily opened dozens of 'television stations', which broadcast local battles in different local battlefields every day;
In order to achieve such an effect, there are more than 100 spy satellites operating on pure solar power generation, which are staring at the battlefield inside and outside the battlefield day and night, becoming the eyes of several parties at this time;
Even in inconvenient areas, the mainland base station can transmit echo messages in real time, and then analyze them into analog visual signals in the calculation of the intelligent brain, and then broadcast them through the 'TV station'.
Therefore, most of the elves who had never actually been on the battlefield were able to witness this mega-war of tens of millions of scales with northern characteristics......
The cruelty and violence of the war were clearly presented in the broadcast, and the scenes of those servants and slaves who had lost almost all of themselves, and the servants who went to die one after another, really gave them a great shock;
In addition, both the attacking side and the defending side also showed battlefield magic abilities that should not be underestimated in this battle.....
Whether it is the collective fury of the Lai Yin species, or the bloody blessing of the fanged species, or the rays and plasma of the Mengqi species, they all bring richer expressions to this war, and make it show extra cruelty and violence.
