"The Big Bird Regiment and the Silver Moon Regiment have obtained the remaining two crystal cores, they have lost some brothers, and now they are moving towards the side of Fort of Courage through the pit we marked, Brother Bang, and Qin Ye, we have to bring someone to pick them up.

Otherwise, in this situation of siege on all sides, their little people will not be able to enter at all! ”

In Fort Courage at night, Mr. Li, who was temporarily in charge of liaison, stepped forward quickly and delivered the new news to the two commanders, who were guarding the outer guard tower of Fort Courage with many players at this time.

In the face of Mr. Li's proposal, Brother Bang and Lao Qin did not speak. The situation doesn't need to be explained too much.

Everyone at Fort Grit knows how bad the situation is.

Looking out from the tower, this small heights were already surrounded by armies of claw-splitting gnolls and their kobold minions, in every direction, and it was not a temporary siege, and in many places you could see trenches dug by kobolds, crooked but clearly imitating the trenches of the Transansians.

This is clearly a posture of long-term siege and attack.

Apparently the gnolls also knew that the defense of Fort Courage had become extremely difficult to breach after the construction was completed, so they chose a more secure approach when they had the upper hand.

With the Black Flame Pass essentially breached, Fort Courage, a lonely place hanging outside the battlefield, had no supplies and support at all, and the Jackals didn't even need to attack repeatedly, as long as they surrounded it, the consumption alone was enough to kill this group of diehards.

It's not a strategic location.

But as long as the blood flag in the center of Fort Courage is still flying, then whether it is the gnolls, the vampires, or even the believers of several major churches, they will not give up fighting here no matter what.

"Can't our earth priests bring them here with the same earth tricks they did when they picked us up before?"

Happy Stick asked in a low voice, Teacher Li shook his head and said:

"It's okay to pick up people, but not the core crystal. I asked the priests, and they said that it had its own psionic disturbances that interfered with the precise functioning of the earthly arts, and that it was unlikely to be transferred through a similar teleportation method unless it was operated by a psionic master like Lady Trace.

We have to go out and pick it up. ”

"Then get out."

Lao Qin, who was holding a pipe, took a hard breath of smoke, and said:

"It's nothing more than death in battle!

This is not a burden for us, but the current heavy responsibility of the 'strategic counterattack' undertaken by Fort Courage will directly rewrite the outcome of the offensive and defensive battle of the Black Flame Pass.

I haven't seen the Astral Rip with my own eyes, but you veteran players have told me that it is a dick, and once it is released, it is enough to cause the Splitclaw Clan to suffer heavy losses, so I will understand it as a tactical nuclear bomb.

It is a necessary means to reverse the disadvantage of the local battlefield.

It's definitely worth the risk!

Especially with the current situation, even if the living forces of the Black Flame Pass can be withdrawn in an orderly manner, it is difficult to replenish the lost morale immediately, which is fatal in such a large-scale defensive battle.

There are still two subsequent stages of the Black Plague, and we must find a way to give the NPCs a hard boost in order to make the follow-up war go smoothly.

Our numbers are too small, and whether we can win this war depends on whether they are strong enough to fight.

I don't want to see low morale leading to a losing defense in battle. ”

"We can understand what you mean, a shot in the arm."

Teacher Li nodded and said:

"All the members of the Shadow Trace Sect are ready, Master Qin, as long as you give an order, we will never say anything!"

"And us!"

Chen Long, the leader of the Proud Guild who does not fall, immediately raised his fist and shouted:

"We are all new, our lives should have been thrown on the battlefield just now, our combat effectiveness is not very useful, but we also know the importance of this counterattack, I will go and explain to my brothers.

When we rush out to pick you up, I promise you'll see the new players with confidence! ”

"I think all the players in Fort of Courage are mentally prepared for this, but the problem is that it's not enough to throw everyone out at the moment."

The happy bar stood up, pointed in the direction of the two crystals, and said:

"The gnolls in this direction have prepared two positions on the outside, and it is almost impossible to cut through it in a short time, even if the newcomers have the will to dedicate themselves, it is difficult to explode the gap, and if this side moves, the gnolls from the other three directions will come to support.

They've literally trapped us here.

Therefore, this response not only requires the players to take action, but also the NPCs to act, and they have to launch a ferocious attack in the other three directions to respond to our response action.

The good news is that the Valland Knight and his 500 hussars are now at Fort Courage, and I can convince them to make a trampling charge that will definitely cut through the gnolls' positions at a critical moment. ”

"That's not right, is it?"

Lao Qin frowned and said:

"How can this terrain make the hussars charge? You are heavy cavalry, and you have to speed up if you want to get enough impact, and these gnolls have already blocked the positions by learning from us to dig trenches, and you can't rush at all. ”

"We can! With special tactics. ”

Brother Bang grinned proudly, clapped his hands and said:

"In fact, after the defeat of the Walland Knight in Sico, he has been trying to improve the overly traditional combat style of the hussars, remember the scene of the hussars jumping into the battlefield through the portal during the previous Blood Flag Wheel battle?

I've tried with the Valland Knights, and we can get the hussars to start accelerating in the clearing in the center of Fort Courage.

The distance of about 1000 meters is enough for the hussars to enter the third stage of acceleration, and to open the portal at the end of our charging path, with the help of Lord Mannes the Infinite, the hussars will not lose much kinetic energy when passing through the portal and entering the landing point.

That way, as long as the portal is fixed behind the gnolls' position, we can rush out of the portal, bypass their trenches, and carve through the rear of the position with the majesty of trampling. ”

"! Portal raid tactics? Isn't this an otherworldly interpretation of the frog jump tactic? Awesome! ”

Several student parties next to him were dumbfounded.

Pigeon exclaimed:

"If such a tactic can be implemented, doesn't that mean that the mobility of the hussars has been epicly improved? Can you appear anywhere on any battlefield in the form of a divine soldier? ”

"Well, it does! But this method of warfare can only be done with the help of Lord Manneth, otherwise the astral trek when passing through the portal is enough to break our bones, and the astral plane is not merciful to the life of the material world. ”

Happy Bar sighed and said:

"And it can't be used on a large scale, and it's a shame that we don't have the kind of legion-type portal that can allow thousands of hussars to charge through together."

"That's enough!"

Lao Qin squinted his eyes and thought about it, spit out a puff of smoke rings, and said:

"Then you and the Valand Knight are in charge of the piercing of the rear of the position, and the newcomers and I will definitely help you open the front of the position before you can meet the two 'Heists of the Lost Ark'. As for the other three directions, I'll talk to the NPC commanders in the castle."

"No need!"

Eugene Sr., a zealot of the church at Avalon, came out of the steps.

He didn't come alone, the Vam Berserker warrior captain Flod and Sue's monk leader, Guru Yuri, were both here.

"The Fort of Courage is one of the three sacred places, and we believers cannot let the followers of the evil gods run wild here, and we fully understand the importance of the Transian counterattack to the Black Calamity.

Therefore, while you attack, the followers of the three gods will also fight with you.

We will rush to the positions of the gnolls and attack them so that they cannot interfere with your movements.

It was an act of courage and a noble sacrifice. ”

The words of old Eugene represent the decision of these believers, but the more cautious Guru Yuri reminds:

"Warriors of Translasia, you still have to think about more, getting the core crystal is only one thing, and the participants needed to cause the great tear in the astral plane are also difficult. With the number of psionics in Fort Courage at the moment, there is simply not enough to trigger the kind of attack you would like to see.

It would be three times as many psionics as possible to turn your wild plans into reality.

And the Dark Mountains are not Transansia.

The boundaries of the plane here are very solid, and it will be extremely difficult for you to lead the astral destruction here, and you need a signpost that can connect to the astral plane.

IMHO, something like that is very rare on the entire continent. ”

"I know that there are difficulties, but things have to be done step by step."

Lao Qin said in a deep voice:

"The battle of fate never comes when you're fully prepared, so get the core crystals back before you talk about the rest. Thirty minutes later, our compatriots will escort Crystal to the outside of Fort Courage, and that's when the battle comes.

In this dark hour, we have no more options.

I hope you'll be prepared. ”

——

"Let me explain in advance, I'm just proposing this idea, and I don't dare to guarantee whether it will work or not, maybe when we rush through the portal, we will be swept to the other side of the world by Star Trek."

In the center of Fort Courage, where the high ground had been widened and leveled by the priests of the earth, Happy Stick, mounted on the Shadow King's horse, put on his hussar helmet and whispered to the vulture knight Valand, who was two laps older than him:

"It's a risky operation."

"Which hussar battle is not risky? From the moment we were born, we didn't live in peace. ”

Valander, who had become a Knight of the Grail of the Woods, scoffed at the happy stick's weak tone, and the leader of the mountain people snorted and patted his general on the shoulder with the hand that could easily break the steel pipe.

Even if there is armor protection, it hurts to stick my teeth.

"In the Sealand cavalry tradition, any cavalryman who survives the age of thirty is a coward. What I want to say is, if we're really afraid of death, we'll stop doing this business. ”

On the other side of the stick brother is a knight captain of the Blood Alliance, and he and more than a hundred of his companions will also join this fateful charge.

They had fled with the player from the crumbling Black Flame Pass to Fort Courage a few hours earlier, but now they were back in danger, but there was no fear on the faces of the cavalrymen, but instead there was a glint of anger in everyone's eyes.

He answers Happy Bar's concerns with a Sealand proverb, causing both Valand and Happy Bar to laugh.

Behind them, five hundred hussars and more than a hundred cavalry were lined up in a charging formation, and under the city wall thousands of kilometers ahead, the psionics of the Blood Vulture Clan stationed here were doing their best to widen the open portal.

Because of the nearby psionic interference, the landing point of this thing is not too accurate, but luckily, the dog-day gnolls have a large position outside, so it is not a problem to deviate a little.

"Woo meow, they're here, just behind the gnolls."

Brother Bang took the moment to glance at the latest news on the forum, and he said to the Valand Knight:

"We can get started."

"Then do it!"

The vulture knight put his sacred oak helmet on his head, and held the armor-piercing hammer made of vines and oak in his hand, urging the war horse to come forward, but in the next second, he looked at the happy bar and said:

"This time, it's up to you to lead the charge!"

"Huh?"

Brother Bang was taken aback and said:

"Isn't this the power of the commander? You're here, which round will I lead the charge? ”

"Nonsense, you're riding the Shadow King."

Valand complained:

"That's the leader of all the Shadowmane Warhorses, and leading the charge by it will send the Shadowmane Warhorses into a rage, and it will make the impact stronger, you lucky fellow, hurry up! Less nonsense. ”

"Oh, okay."

Brother Bang took a deep breath and pulled down his mask and stepped forward.

For the first time, he stood in front of 500 hussars, and the shadow king under his crotch was already a little irritable and began to kick the ground with his huge hooves, as if urging his knights to hurry up, and Lao Tzu couldn't wait to kick a few gnolls to play.

Happy Stick turned his head and looked at the cavalry behind him.

He saw the Trancian banner being held aloft and the Cadman Raider Wing banner raised by his brothers, and he knew the hussar tradition, and to be able to lead a charge in such a battle meant that he had become one of the hussars.

Ah, what an honor.

"Then, I command."

Brother Bang suppressed his excitement, he pulled the reins of the horse to let the Shadow King forward, and shouted with the loudest voice his lungs could make:

"Slow on! Charge ready! ”

In the next moment, five hundred hussars moved forward like an indestructible group, they strode forward, slowly accelerating, and by the time they had crossed the distance of three hundred meters, the Shadow King had already run in small steps.

"First acceleration! Charge Formation! ”

The speed of the cavalry began to increase, and the ground of the entire Fort of Courage began to shake, and the chariot flying in the sky carried a bag of explosive bombs and Molotov cocktails, holding his staff and screaming:

"It's coming! It's coming! Look! My favorite part is coming! ”

"Secondary acceleration! Don't be left behind! ”

When there were only three hundred meters left from the huge portal shining in front of him, Brother Bang shouted an order, and at this moment, the hussar phalanx began to attack with all its might.

The distance of three hundred meters is almost in the blink of an eye.

In front of him was a flickering curtain of scarlet light, like a wall, and if he hit it, he could enter the battlefield.

"Spread your wings!"

He gave the final order, and then rushed into the flickering light curtain with his own warhorse, however, the next second, he heard the strange mockery of the Infinite:

"How bad was your luck today? My dear commander, forget it, I'll give you an extra service today. ”

"Buzz"

The light of reversing time flickered on the happy stick that had the unfortunate encounter with Star Trek, so that he was already behind and returned to the moment before, he had passed through the light curtain again, this time without encountering Trek.

With a flash of light in front of him, in the hiss of the Shadow King, he was the first to rush into the rear of the gnolls' position.

In front of him was the camp of a little Gnoll Overseer who was grabbing a barbecue and eating a late-night supper, and the Claw-Clawed Gnoll Overseer saw the hussars rush out in front of him in the flickering light curtain, and the poor fellow was knocked away with his dinner before he even had time to react.

In the terrible screams of the "trapeze", more hussars came out of the portal at full speed, and in an instant, hundreds of gnolls received their lunches in honor.

They were eating supper and singing songs in their camp when they were suddenly attacked by the hussars!

Who the hell can stand this?

The entire rear of the Gnoll position was in chaos almost instantly, and the sentry Xiao Wei Ming, who was waiting in the rear, immediately caught the wild receiving signal.

She shouted in the air:

"Brother Bang came out of the portal with the hussars,! It's so ferocious, the position has been ploughed, and I really want to be a hussar."

"Fack! Is this the cavalry you usually play? Isn't that scientific? ”

Judy, the cowboy who followed the Silver Moon Regiment as an "experience baby", would look at the heavily armored knights in front of her who were crazy in the gnolls' position, which was a little different from the "cavalry" she imagined.

"Rush! Fast! Keep up with them, this is the only chance! ”

Brother Meow, who was riding the thorn beast, roared, and the surviving players immediately escorted the two enchantment core crystals to the gnolls' position.

Their final goal is the lonely city that stands in the distance under the dark night, like a black tide that has been impacted but does not fall.

It was the first miracle created by the Translancians in the Black Plague War, and who would have thought that the story of the end of the Black Flame Pass would be played out here?

Ah, fate, what a magical dog thing!
