Volume 6: Yinghai Chase 0307 The Battle of Change
The vehicle group of the East Japan State suffered a sudden and heavy blow outside the expected range of artillery fire, and lost dozens of vehicles on the spot.
Even the many sergeants and low-level warlocks on the vehicles turned into fireballs in mid-air and fell between these nameless hills.
At the first moment of the attack, the army of the Eastern Ri Kingdom and the middle and high-level mages in the mage legion, as long as they could be transferred through the source spirit world, immediately responded in a fierce manner.
They appeared at the ambusher's location in an instant, counterattacking in all directions from the sky, ground, and underground.
Those who stayed in the sky were high-level mages, those on the ground were mid-level and late-stage mages, and there were high-level earth spirit mages underground, forming a pattern of compound three-dimensional strikes in an instant.
High-level mages can stay in the air for a short time, which undoubtedly forms a condescending natural suppression of the ambushers on the ground, so countless medium and large spells are thrown down like rain.
Countless huge logs roared down from the sky;
Dense mass rocks, with a whistling sound, fell from the sky;
Like raindrops, all kinds of ice arrows and ice picks as thick as an arm are like raindrops, like torrential rain;
The middle and high-level mages who appeared on the ground threw all kinds of fierce spells at the nearby ambush army.
The mid- and high-level earth spirit sorcerers underground constantly change the terrain, striking the ambushers who are caught off guard with the squeezing and collision of rocks, the thrust of rock spikes, and the bombardment of falling rocks!
On the unprepared ambush position, a large number of Murong Clan's offensive and defensive troops were immediately engulfed by countless scorching sun explosions, magma, and thermonuclear radiation.
Various negative auxiliary spells, such as Retardation, Retardation, Suffocation, Rust, Thorns, Decay, ...... Prevented the sergeants and low-level warlocks from having their last chance to escape.
The mid-to-late stage mages who did not have the ability to stay in the air also carried out dense and saturated spell strikes on the ground ambushes trapped in the encirclement.
This is almost the indiscriminate crushing and torture of the mid-level late and high-level warlocks against the ordinary sergeants and low-level warlocks below, and the ambushers below are powerless to fight back.
In the end, the high-ranking earth spirit mages in the mage legion used several large-scale earth spirit spells to "geomorphize" and turn all the ambushers into buried ones.
The war lasted only a few moments, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
The Murong clan suffered the largest battle damage since the invasion, a large number of city defenses were destroyed, and soldiers were buried.
On the other side, more than half of the vehicle groups of the Eastern Japan Kingdom were lost, and the low-level warlocks and sergeants who went out to fight were cut off as long as they were hit by artillery fire.
In the Volunteer Mage Legion, as long as they cannot move through the Source Spirit World, they can be declared dead if they appear on a destroyed vehicle and cannot change their physical state in time.
In the face of such huge casualties, the commanders of both sides instantly turned red-eyed.
The Murong clan immediately dispatched all the mid-rank and late-rank and high-level warlocks who were originally going to be stationed in Okamoto City.
They used the same almost instantaneous way to start the first magic and magic battle between the Eastern Earth Empire and the Western Xuan Federation with the opponent's middle-level and high-level mages who suddenly appeared at the ambush point.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the war immediately entered a white heat.
Every shot made by every warlock and mage on both sides is a mid-level or above spell ability.
Such an overwhelming number of medium and large spell bombardments were all concentrated in a very small range, and the spiritual energy storm caused by it caused huge damage was actually something that no one expected.
Since no one has ever encountered or imagined it, there is no past experience to draw on.
Even the warlocks on both sides who participated in the war at that time did not consider whether they needed to consider the layout of the formation, the combination of different spiritual power attributes, and the offensive and defensive cooperation between personnel with different abilities.
So, at that moment, it was as if a nuclear bomb from the Great Annihilation period had exploded here, and the heavens and the earth were shaken, and the dazzling light seemed to break the space.
The main reason for the development of such a tragic situation was that the medium-sized and large-scale spells that were too dense in an instant, and the concentrated extraction of energy in the source spirit world in a short period of time, the five kinds of origin spiritual power, almost immediately formed a siphon effect.
The energy of the Source Spirit World, even if it overflowed a little, would cause huge damage to the surrounding forces, not to mention such an instantaneous siphon!
Regardless of whether you are or you are in a slightly dense position, no matter how high your ability is, in the face of this chaotic dense offensive and energy impact, the result will only be instant death.
Most of the warlocks on both sides didn't understand how they died, and their bodies were collapsed by the intensive spells and rampaging psionic energy.
Even if there are warlocks who carry various amulets, they don't have time to use them.
In fact, there is a master analysis afterwards, at that moment, converting into an energy body is far more realistic than using the Divine Shelter Talisman, and it will be faster.
However, even if it is transformed into an energy body in time and encounters the impact of such an energy storm, it is also a question whether it can keep the energy body from being disintegrated by the impact.
Even if you are lucky enough to keep your energy body, if you encounter an enemy force using an energy weapon attack, you will also be scattered the energy body, and only mental power will be left, which will slowly dissipate.
There may also be some mid-level late-level warlocks on both sides, who suddenly encountered intensive mid-level spells, and had nowhere to escape, and entered the source spirit world without hesitation, but then found that they did not reserve an anchor point for return, and they were lost in time and space.
……
This battle, in a short period of time, subverted all the methods of warfare, and also caused the subsequent warlock and mage wars to derive some new guidelines.
For example, beginner warlocks and mages are cannon fodder just like ordinary sergeants in such spell wars.
For example, even if you're teaming up with your own Warlock Mage, you need to keep enough distance.
For example, a mid-level mage with an energy weapon is the most threatening in this situation.
For example, even if your own warlocks and mages are familiar with each other, they still need to practice the integrated offensive and defensive strategy in advance.
For example, if there are high-level warlocks and mages on both sides, they can dominate the local battlefield.
……
Fortunately, the commanders of both sides, at that moment, understood this truth in time, and coincidentally chose to withdraw their troops and return to defense.
Because of this short battle of Okamoto City, the Murong clan fell into the darkest moment.
The Murong family was dressed in white, and Murong Shancang became a lot haggard overnight.
The Eastern Japan Kingdom is not much better, the battle damage has exceeded their expectations, and after a few more such wars of attrition, they may not even have the high-end forces to garrison Luben City in the future.
Under the First World War, both sides lost a total of nearly two thousand low-level warlocks, hundreds of middle and high-level warlocks, and as for the armed and sergeants, they could be ignored.
The Battle of Okamoto Castle completely hurt both sides at once.
Ironically, the battle of Okamoto Castle did not take place in Okamoto Castle, but on an unnamed hill twenty kilometers outside the city.
……
After the Battle of Okamoto Castle, both the Murong clan and the Eastern Ri Kingdom fell into a state of extreme caution.
This basin of cold water directly extinguished half of Murong Clan's heart, and also extinguished the enthusiasm of the Eastern Ri Kingdom and the Volunteer Mage Legion.
After that, the scale of all the battles became very small, and basically they attacked in small teams to try to kill the opponent's living forces.
The Tori Kingdom gave up taking the initiative to attack Matsuo Island and returned to Shikamotohara, the core and largest of the Tori Kingdom, to guard against several large cities in Shikamotohara.
In terms of people's hearts, the Tohnichi Kingdom has fallen into a complete depression, and it seems that the recovery of Matsuo Island is already an extravagant hope, and the fall of Kusashihara and Kitakumabara seems to be inevitable in the future, and the Tohnichi Kingdom can hold the Shikamoto Plain, which is considered lucky.
The Ying people all know that the volunteers of the big empire in the west have not yet arrived to participate in the war, but the volunteers from the Federation have almost been removed.
Therefore, on the scale of victory prediction, it is conceivable which is more important than the other.
The news was transmitted back to the empire, and the Imperial War Department and the General Staff Department paid full attention to and interpreted this small-scale battle.
Imperial University, Imperial Military and Political University, and Jishita Gakumiya have all proposed new ways to deal with the new Warlock Mage War, and almost all Warlocks are focusing on new ways of warfare in the future.
Discussions, assumptions, and tactical judgments have become topics that Imperial Warlocks are happy to participate in.
When the news reached the Western Xuan Federation, more and more intensive demonstrations and anti-war rallies caused a lot of anxiety at the top of the Federation.
His Majesty's oracle not long ago was almost never mentioned again, and it died before it could be carried out.
Even if someone wants to bring it up again, they can't do it within the Federation.
Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Xuan of the Empire issued a proposal, clearly advocating that the middle-level warlocks among the citizens of the empire, if they felt the current situation and future of the Murong Clan, could participate in the war in their own name, mainly to protect the innocent people affected by the magic war.
The Empire made it clear that there was no need for beginner warlocks to join in the fun.
This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Murong family, and it is a heavy hammer for the Eastern Ri Kingdom.
It didn't take long for the Xixuan Federation to have all kinds of so-called experts, scholars, and peaceful people shouting to the empire and the Murong clan through the Imperial Inspectorate Group in the City of Glory.
They hoped that the war would not affect natural men, low-ranking warlocks, and sergeants.
At the same time, they also appealed that, based on the light of humanitarianism, high-level warlocks are not recommended to directly participate in wars, and top-level warlocks and super warlocks must not participate in mundane wars.
The tradition of the empire has always been to turn a deaf ear to such unilateral appeals, but this time, there are also the imperial rite departments and major enchantment systems, which have given a positive response.
The empire basically agrees with the appeal of the Western Xuan Federation, but it only agrees that top warlocks and super warlocks cannot participate in mundane wars.
Top Warlocks, Super Warlocks, that is the same as the existence of a nuclear bomb before the Great Annihilation, and its greatest use is to use it as a deterrent.
To put it bluntly, in fact, both sides have a tacit understanding, but whenever there is a war, it is best to have a high-level warlock as the leader, and use the middle-level warlock as the main force to fight to the death, and not too many people will die.
Of course, if you can't beat the mid-level ones, you can go up to the high-level ones, depending on who has the most high-level warlocks.
In the void where the "Nine Sons Moon Meeting" was held, the nine sons of the nine major counties of the empire, under the auspices of the Zero Sons and the Envoy Gentleman, established the core computing power of the major enchantments to immediately use the core computing power of the major enchantments to fully develop a virtual warlock battle system.
In the early stage, the various abilities of the warlock were collected, the striking force was evaluated by data, various variables were controlled, and the parameters affected by environmental variables were ...... Perform finely weighted calculations and summaries, and weigh the trade-offs realistically.
Once the Empire's "Hidden Dragon Project" is networked, a virtual martial arts hall will be opened in the "Jixia School Palace", and all Imperial Warlocks, who have the intention of developing in the military direction, must participate in it, conduct systematic training, and improve the combat literacy and ability of the Imperial Warlocks as a whole.
On the last day of March, Emperor Ji Tianlong ordered the empire to carry out a major disarmament.
The major legions of the nine counties, the number of traditional sergeants, were reduced by forty percent, and they were converted to other professions to develop the areas of the empire that too many citizens had not set foot in. And the saved military budget will be used for various expenses of warlock warfare.
Perhaps, since the beginning of the Divine Apocalypse Era, to the 113th year of the Apocalypse, the era of magic, has truly become the master of the world.
The curtain of the era of magic on the home planet is slowly opening.
