Chapter 1579: The Fog That Can't Be Dispersed

A gray mist enveloped the No. 2 military station like a tidal wave.

Due to the thick fog, it was already dark by the time the sun set.

The swarm surrounding the fortress also seemed to be affected by the fog, and the offensive weakened a lot.

The Eagle Division, which was reinforcing the insect swarm on the periphery, had accumulated a wealth of experience in the past two days, and they were fighting well, but they were also affected by the dense fog, and they had to stop and quickly retreat dozens of miles.

Their front is not too wide, and if the swarm takes advantage of the fog and goes around the sides, it may be able to sneak up on them.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the fog was getting thicker and thicker.

Under the thick fog, today's night seems to be particularly dark, and I can't really see my fingers.

In order to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, the flares in the barracks hardly dared to stop, and they had to be fired every few minutes.

But when the flare hit the sky, the effect was extremely poor. Once their blinding blue-white light illuminated the entire camp, now only those nearby could see its hazy glow.

Once you fly too high, you can't even see this faint halo.

The soldiers inside the fortress felt blind, and could hear the sounds of movement in close proximity, but they couldn't see anyone at all.

This feeling was very twisted, which made the soldiers who were sticking to the bunker extremely nervous, and the slightest wind and grass immediately swept over with a shuttle of bullets.

Fortunately, the artillerymen all marked the coordinates in advance, and they were able to look at the map and fire.

Even if they can't see it, they can accurately shoot the shells into the required area, but they lack the observation and calibration. The hit rate should be discounted.

The dense fog also made it difficult to resupply the Allied war fortresses.

Because the visibility is too low. The light of the anti-collision lights hanging on the war fortress responsible for transporting supplies could only be transmitted a few dozen meters away.

In order to avoid collisions. The war fortresses could only fly in one by one like blind people, fly away after unloading the supplies, and then change to another, which affects the efficiency of take-off and landing.

The dense fog has an effect on both warring sides, and at the moment, it seems that the impact on the human coalition is even greater, and the entire fortress seems to be suffering from high myopia, and it is inconvenient to do anything.

Lord Lorraine is in command. The staccato and scattered sound of gunfire could be heard outside, interspersed with occasional explosions of mortar shells—the only sound left unaffected in the fog.

The telephone and telegram in the headquarters were ringing non-stop, but everyone was at a loss for what to do with the fog.

The door of the headquarters was suddenly pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in.

Immediately afterward, I saw Lester come in from outside, panting hot.

Seeing this, Vera hurriedly stepped forward, courteously served a cup of hot tea to her teacher, and then stood behind Lester, knocking a pair of soft fists on the old man's shoulder.

Recently, the old man has made a lot of efforts.

Lester shook his shoulders comfortably, then picked up his hot teacup. took a sip slowly, sighed, and said, "This damn weather~!"

Lord Lorraine sat across from Rest. Concerned asked, "How's the situation?"

Lester's face was grim, he shook his head, and said, "I went around the outside twice, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and I couldn't feel the breath of dark spells. ”

Lord Lorraine rubbed his tightly knit eyebrows and muttered, "So this fog is a natural occurrence?"

Lester shook his head again, put the teacup on the table, and said seriously: "Not necessarily, the vagaries of magic are at this point.

As long as the situation is guided and the natural environment is used rationally, a weak spell can cause great changes in the natural world.

I remember...... Uh, I remember. When you were fighting with the orcs in Nyan, you used a dam to store water, and you drowned tens of thousands of enemy troops at once, and that's the reason. ”

In this regard, Lester is an expert, and his title of forbidden spell wizard comes from the fact that under the city of Maple Leaf Danlin, he used the cold weather to create a heavy snowfall, and almost all the enemy troops who came to attack were annihilated.

He originally wanted to use this story just now, but he found that in that way, it seemed that he could not highlight the great image of Uncle Lei's boundless mana, so he immediately changed his words.

When Lord Lorraine heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "So it can't be ruled out that the lichs are doing it. ”

Lacey nodded, with a solemn expression, and said, "It's very likely that the lich did it, don't you think this fog came too coincidentally?"

I don't know how the lich does it, but it's not easy to make such a big fog~!"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my mouth, and I was very impressed with those lichs.

Lord Lorraine gave him an angry look: This damn old scholar, Wen Qing is angry again. Now is not the time for academic seminars~!

He hesitated for a moment, and asked unwillingly, "Is there really no way to disperse the fog?"

This fog has blinded the human alliance, how can this battle be fought?

Lester groaned for a moment and said, "This ...... I'll have to think again, think about it......"

As he spoke, he sat down in his chair and frowned in thought.

At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly sounded in the night sky outside the headquarters.

Listening to the rumbling sound, Lorraine keenly judged that there was a large group of war fortresses approaching from the sky~!

To be sure, this is not the flight unit of the coalition forces, and the war fortresses of the coalition forces have been withdrawn due to the heavy fog, even if they are on the task of transporting supplies, they are flying carefully. It will never be so rampage.

Obviously, the Lich's war fortress took advantage of the thick fog to kill again~!

Immediately afterward, a rapid alarm bell sounded in the camp, alerting the soldiers in the fortress to take shelter from the air raid.

The shouts of the officers also rang out.

"Air strikes, watch out for air strikes. ”

"When you go into a bomb shelter, you go into a bomb shelter. ”

"Drag the cannon into bunker. ”

"Don't stay outside, everybody. ”

“......”

Lorraine walked briskly to the door of the underground headquarters, but saw nothing but the deep darkness. Only a variety of chaotic sounds can be heard, either far or near.

Fortunately, after last night's sneak attack. Lord Lorraine learned from the pain. The defenders were ordered to take targeted measures against future air raids by the lichs, and the semi-underground warehouses inside the fortress were once again fortified to prevent them from being blown up again.

Because in the past, it was always the coalition forces that bombed others with air superiority, except for the defense of Ruman City and the air battle of Maple Leaf Danlin, they were rarely chased and bombed by the undead.

Although the General Staff repeatedly ordered the soldiers to strengthen their awareness of air defense. But these bitches all know that the coalition forces have superior air power, and the overall air defense awareness is not strong.

Many of the officers didn't care about it. Even Lord Luo himself only made a few brief remarks—after all, the enemy's war fortress had never appeared above the heads of the coalition forces. If the lord is always startled and asks them to strengthen their defenses, he will inevitably become the child who keeps shouting 'the wolf is coming'.

That's why they panicked when they were suddenly hit by an air raid last night.

Now it was different, having been taught a lesson by the enemy's war fortress, the soldiers inside the fortress knew where to go and what to do when the air raid came.

The criss-crossing communication trenches in the fortress also made it easy for soldiers to move quickly in the darkness where they could not see clearly.

'Boom, boom......'

The dark spells of the Undead War Fortress Magic Guide Cannon smashed to the ground one after another, making a special muffled sound. The sound of stones splashing and the whistling of the war fortress echoed, but it did not cause the soldiers to exclaim.

Lord Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that the soldiers are doing a good job.

For a fortress like Station 2, it is impossible to destroy it with magic cannons, especially those of dark spells.

A large number of permanent underground and semi-underground fortresses were built with cement in the fortress, and the dark spells of the magic cannon were very lethal to creatures and the like, but they did not have much effect on this kind of solid stone and steel bar.

At the beginning of the air raid, the lich was still cautious, circling around the second military station from a distance, and many magic cannons were fired outside the fortress.

They were also afraid of anti-aircraft fire inside the fortress and the flying units of the coalition forces, especially the Eagle fighter wing.

The Lich had suffered greatly at the hands of the Eagle Fighter Wing, and the oddly looking little war fortress was fast and nimble, like a bolt of lightning, haunting the sky.

Always attack from a position where the undead war fortress is not visible, at the bottom, at the top, behind ......

And they hit and run, and the lich didn't even have a way to fight back, so they could only be aggrieved and grinded to death by that hateful little thing.

So much so that both the Lich and the Dark Mage have a phobia of the Hawk, and even turn around and run whenever they see the Eagle in the sky.

The only thing the lich can be thankful for is that the Hawks, despite their agility and firepower, have a limited range and can't get too far from their supply bases, so they rarely continue to pursue them as long as they escape a certain range.

But the lichs waited in a panic for half an hour, never seeing the shadow of the coalition flying troops, and their courage gradually let go.

The Undead War Fortress is flying at a lower and lower altitude, and there are more and more dark spells that hit the fortress.

Lord Lorraine had been standing at the door of the headquarters and listening carefully to the movements outside, silently counting the number of dark spells that had fallen inside the fortress in his heart, but he couldn't count them until more than a hundred.

There are too many dark spells that fall inside the fortress at the same time, and they are too many to count.

"Report, the swarm on the periphery is attacking again. After receiving the call, the staff officer reported loudly to Lord Lorraine.

Lorraine said without replying: "I know, tell them to resist, and if the situation is dangerous, send people to reinforce it." ”

The staff officer agreed, and then loudly issued orders into the microphone.

There are enough reserves in the fortress to fill the holes ahead, but the lichs above them are too annoying.

"The Eagle Wing called, requesting to take off and join the battle. Another staff officer shouted.

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the people in the command looked at Lord Lorraine with blank eyes, waiting for the boss's order, it was not a matter of being bombed like this.

Lord Lorraine pondered for a moment, then walked over to Lester and said, "Isn't the lich's eyesight unaffected by the fog?"

Lester shook his head and said, "Although the lich has the ability to perceive dark vision and mana fluctuations, their vision is the same as ours. All need light.

Fog blocks the propagation of light. It definitely has an effect on the Lich as well. But on the other hand, the impact on them is much weaker than ours. ”

Lord Lorraine bowed slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Sue Sù Ferreira, if he can promise to come over without colliding with the plane, if he can't, just stay honest with me." ”

The staff officer sent the knight's order by telegram, but the Eagle Wing did not reply - it seems that Ferreira was honest too.

The undead war fortress grew more and more arrogant.

Their reckless bombardment over the barracks continued for an hour until just after midnight. It slowly fell silent, as if it had retreated because of the exhaustion of energy.

But at this time, it was still dark in the barracks, and I couldn't even count the losses, so I could only wait patiently until dawn.

But for fear that the bugs would take advantage of the opportunity, the guns in the fortress kept firing out all night.

After dawn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fog was still very thick, and there were no people visible for a few meters on the other side, I was finally able to see clearly.

Lord Lorraine got up early in the morning. Take a walk around the fortress along the moat.

Everywhere he went, the lich slammed the ground like pockmark's face. There are potholes everywhere, and several walls are damaged, but after simple repairs, they were restored to their original appearance.

Because the fog was so thick, it also had an effect on the lichs, who just fired blindly above the barracks' heads, so the casualties in the barracks were not large.

However, also because of the dense fog, the efficiency of replenishment work has suddenly decreased a lot.

Although the ammunition in stock is sufficient, it is far from keeping up with the current consumption, and if the fog does not disperse, after ten days and half a month, the ammunition will be in an emergency......

As he walked, he thought about the difficulties he was facing and thought about how to solve them. But in the end, all the problems were attributed to this fog again.

He looked at the thick fog in front of him, sighed, and muttered, "It would be nice if a sea breeze blew directly away this damn fog." ”

Just as Lorraine was speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew.

The lord was surprised to find that the fog that had been static in front of him suddenly flowed.

The wind grew stronger, and in a few breaths, the wind rolled past the fortress with a whistling sound, rolling up and dispersing the fog that surrounded the fortress.

The soldiers cheered excitedly, they had never liked the cold northwest wind so much as they did now.

At this point, the wind is blowing stronger and stronger.

The wind blew sand and rocks in the fortress, Lorraine raised his hand to block his eyes to prevent the sand and gravel from blowing into his eyes, and he was relieved to see the surrounding area of the fortress gradually become brighter.

Following the lord, he found that in the middle of the camp, a figure was suspended in mid-air, waving his staff, and a whirlwind swirled around him.

Just look at that whitebeard and know it's Rest.

Apparently this wind was not a natural wind, but a spell unleashed by Rest.

The fierce wind blew for a few minutes, sweeping away the fog around the fortress, but as soon as the wind stopped, Lorraine was disappointed to find that the fog around the fortress was slowly surrounding it from all directions.

It seems that the effect of Rest's move is only temporary, and it only blows away the fog around the fortress, and the dense fog surrounding the fortress is too wide.

Seeing this situation, Lester himself was a little stupid, the old man took the initiative to be furious, but found that there was no effect at all, and the fog that had just been blown away came back little by little, and the old man's face was a little unbearable.

But in this situation, even with the mana of his magister, it was impossible to blow away the dense fog for dozens of miles around the fortress.

After landing, Lester approached Lorraine and said, "This fog is very strange, and if I want to solve it, we must find the source." ”

Lorraine listened to the meaning of a little justification in Lester's tone, and smiled: "It's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's that the enemy army is too cunning, I understand this." ”

Lester laughed dryly and said, "Yes, that's what it means." If I hadn't been trapped in a fortress, this little trick would have been a breeze to deal with. ”

Lord Lorraine spread his hands helplessly, since using spells to dispel the fog didn't work, he had to think of other methods.

The lord immediately mobilized the whole army to brainstorm and discuss how to deal with this thick fog.

At that moment, someone mentioned that yì should be burned with fire, and Lord Luo was also as good as a stream, and immediately lit a few large fires in the fortress, but found that it was useless to roast for a long time, but asked the cook to make a beautiful barbecue for everyone.

This made the lord very suspicious that the dog cub who mentioned yì had ulterior motives, and he just went to the barbecue.

In the end, there was really no way, seeing that the fog had re-enveloped the entire fortress, Lord Lorraine could only use the stupidest method to use the mages as electric fans, and let them take turns blowing the wind without interruption.

Although it can't solve the current problem, as long as it can keep the vicinity of the fortress without too much fog, it will be a great help to the defenders, at least let the soldiers in the bunker see how many enemies they are on.

In the early afternoon, the news came back from the war fortress that had gone out to reconnoitre, and this thick fog covered an area of two or three hundred miles in the vicinity, and it would be impossible to disperse the fog without the strong winds of nature.

The battle continued during the day, and after several days of fierce fighting, it seemed that the swarm on the opposite side was also tired, and their attacks were no longer as fierce as before.

As soon as the deathbell beetle rushed up, it retreated when it was blocked by bullets and flames, then turned around and rushed up, and retreated with a slight blow.

And the soldiers on the front line observed a strange situation, the retreating death knell beetle would always take the limbs of their own kind in their mouths.

The strange tables of the insect swarm were summarized to Lord Lorraine, and after the staff members discussed it, there was a common conjecture that after these few days of high-intensity fighting, the insects could not stand it anymore.

Before the soldiers inside the fortress could rejoice at the news, a sudden report came back from the front that they had found ...... in the attacking swarm Traces of undead creatures were found. (To be continued......)
