Chapter 399: Reduced to Ashes
"Toot Toot Toot !!"
The horn of retreat sounded on the battlefield, and even if the artillery fire was raging, it was difficult to hide the sound of the horn.
The soldiers of the Allied countries in different trenches and defensive lines also responded separately, and also began to inform their comrades on the front line with the horns in their hands.
The first day of the soldier's job is to obey orders, and although their morale is high at the moment, and the situation on the battlefield is not too bad at the moment, they still choose to retreat quickly.
Some of the front-line soldiers and mecha units chose to be the queen according to their training, but they still fought and retreated.
The German army apparently noticed this, and the general in command of the front quickly returned to the camp in the rear and informed Crown Prince Malfoy of the news.
"The army of West Farland has retreated."
Hearing this, Malfoy's eyes lit up, and he quickly came to the sand table of the camp.
"Where to retreat?"
"Looks like we're going to evacuate Verdun." The general said excitedly, "It is estimated that our poison gas warfare has played a role, and the enemy's follow-up forces and resources have problems." β
Malfoy frowned slightly, quietly looking at the sand table in front of him, his face mixed with mixed feelings.
"Aren't you happy?" The general wondered, "Isn't that a good thing?" β
"Our strategic purpose is to deplete the enemy's living forces and kill as many people as possible with thermal weapons.
If they retreat out of Verdun, then the plan will not be well accomplished.
If we choose to invade Paris next, we will encounter even more fierce resistance, and by that time it is not clear how long the war will last. β
The general thought for a moment and said, "But this is the best time for us to take Verdun, and if we hesitate a little longer, and wait for the enemy to react, the battle will be even more anxious."
I don't think the enemy will give up this place easily, and the importance of Paris to them is almost impossible to put into words. β
"You're right." Malfoy nodded, and then he patted the edge of the sand table, "Chase the whole army!" Chase the army of West Farland twenty kilometers away and into Verdun! β
The excitement in his tone was almost overflowing, the Verdun War had been fruitless for too long, and if it continued to be consumed, his identity as the crown prince would inevitably not be preserved.
And at this moment, there is finally some light in this battle, and he will naturally be happy.
"Yes!"
In the direction of West France, Joan of Arc still stood on the cliff, never leaving again, just quietly overlooking the entire battlefield.
From this point of view, the rout of the West Farrand army is even more obvious, and with the order to retreat, the morale of the army, which was originally quite good, dropped rapidly.
And the German army has been following closely behind.
Behind her, stood the remaining generals who were in charge of commanding the Battle of Verdun.
He also looked at the scene below with the same solemn face, and although they carried out the retreat mission out of trust in Joan of Arc, one of the generals couldn't help but speak.
"The German army is pursuing us, and if they take Verdun and take the fortifications we have built, it will be even more difficult for us to occupy it again."
Another general also took over, "If we abandon Verdun, the whole of Paris will be exposed to enemy fire, and they can bomb Paris at any time with the help of land ships as platforms!" β
He looked at Joan of Arc, "Please give us a more detailed reason." β
Raman didn't speak, just looked at the battlefield below with a solemn face, "What is that divine revelation you are talking about?" β
Joan of Arc didn't say a word, just stared deadly ahead.
Rahman thought she was watching the battle below.
But then he realized that Joan of Arc was staring into the air.
When he realized this, he heard Joan of Arc.
"Here we are."
Puzzled, Raman followed his gaze, but before he could see anything, he felt an unprecedented heat gradually spread throughout the battlefield.
Waves of heat swept in from the distant sky, as if he was in a furnace, and even his skin felt a burning sensation.
The puddles below were steaming from the heat.
Then, something that made the pupils of him and the generals around him, including the German troops below, and the German Crown Prince Malfoy and others in the command camp tremble violently in front of their eyesβ
A sun.
To be precise, it was a dark blue fireball, slowly floating in the air, and the flames around the fireball even became a state similar to plasma.
The fireball heated the surrounding air and spread to everyone, and everyone could feel the terrifying temperature of the fireball.
Then, to the despair of the German soldiers below, something happened.
The fireball actually fell slowly, and even increased its speed.
The soldiers on the battlefield below fled in horror to the rear, but how could they run faster than they could with their feet.
The fireball came into contact with the earth, and there was no violent vibration after the collision, because the earth was melted directly, and the original land was directly turned into magma.
The next moment, the fireball contracted violently, and then burst in all directions.
The flames instantly spread all over the battlefield, devouring everything on this battlefield, the living, the dead, and even the mecha were instantly consumed in this terrifying heat.
For example, the mortal fetus of the flesh was instantly carbonized and turned into powder, while those mecha were directly turned into molten iron and melted into the earth.
This flame is like the scythe of death, quickly harvesting everything in this battlefield, and the purgatory that was originally revealed in that subspace appeared on the real battlefield.
Raman and the generals around him all opened their mouths slightly, staring at everything in front of them in horror.
Perhaps because of the scorching air, they even felt that their breathing had become much harder.
Their souls trembled, and they couldn't say a word, not even the redness of their skin from the heat that came from below.
Soon, however, the flames grew smaller and smaller over time.
There are only three ways to stop the fire.
The first is to use all spells.
The second is to use the corresponding mantra.
And the third is that there is no combustible material near the fire, and there is no wood chips at all.
After months of bombardment, there was no wood left on the battlefield, only rubble that had been blown into the sky countless times and then fallen, as well as corpses and blood, and puddles of water left behind after the rain of the past few days.
And the fire curse burned, and the entire battlefield was directly cleaned up.
As the fire gradually dissipated, the earth was still emitting scorching heat, and some of the sand and stones were directly burned into glass, emitting a faint glow in the sun, and in some places there was even lava flowing.
Everything on the earth, including the German soldiers, the corpses of both sides, and the wreckage of the mechas, were all gone. (End of chapter)
