Chapter 223: Counteroffensive Plan
"Hey! Have you heard about that big operation? "Almost the same day that Wren confirmed that the Physics Sect would participate in the Great Counterattack of the First Line of Defense of the Devil's Mouth Fortress, the news spread throughout the Devil's Mouth.
More than 200,000 soldiers from all over the world spread the word of mouth, and soon everyone knew about it.
Whether it was the regular bureau from various countries, the condemned prisoners assigned by various countries to serve as stormtroopers, or the volunteers who came here voluntarily because of their mission, they were all in an uproar.
One by one, the bosses of their own troops came to Marshal Carl Ellis to inquire about the news and ask for battle.
"Report ......" A knight commander rushed over, and before he could finish speaking, the guards smiled bitterly and stepped aside.
The once battle hall was long packed.
The three-hundred-square-meter hall was full, not to mention, and even the corridor outside couldn't be crowded.
So much so that soon His Excellency Marshal, who could not bear it any longer, lost his temper and drove everyone to the small square outside, and then gave a public speech on the terrace on the second floor.
"Don't ask, you little bunnies! I will answer them uniformly here. "The marshal has been in charge of the defense of the fortress for many years, and his words are absolute. As soon as he spoke, the people below suddenly fell silent, and set their blazing eyes on the marshal.
"This rumor is not outrageous. That's right, there's another beast tide north of Barbarossa. As soon as he finished speaking, the Barbarossa soldier immediately had a slight commotion, and quickly calmed himself down.
"As Barbarossa XIII requested, we will take back the first line of defense as much as possible, rebuild the entire city defense, and then we will be able to transfer Barbarossa's troops back. But—" the marshal sharply accentuated: "The retraction of the line of defense is the prerequisite for all subsequent steps." Otherwise, even if the orcs invade the royal capital of Barbarossa, even if the people who should be here die, they must die here, and no one will be allowed to go back. ”
The strong rhetoric calmed the Barbarossa's somewhat restless and restless heart.
If a human empire with an orderly and good camp falls, it will certainly seriously affect the world pattern and make countless people saddened by it. If you have to compare the survival of the pan-human camp with this, who is more important and who is lighter, everyone can still figure it out.
Marshal Karl continued: "We are fortunate that I had to fight hard in my deliberations with my staff officers, even if it was only by the power of the Devil's Mouth. Now the two emperors have invited us to support the School of Physics. Right! You didn't guess wrong! It is the legendary archmage Wren Tesla who killed the demon lord Griffith alone a while ago and sent the head, and he and his disciples will participate in our actions throughout the process. ”
This time, the audience was boiling.
"Hooray! Praise the Emperor! ”
"Praise to the School of Physics!"
"Lord Tesla! You are indeed our patron saint! ”
The gossip soon became unified by a slogan.
"Wren! Rennes! ”
"Physics! Physics! ”
"Long live physics—"
The two imperial envoys who followed Marshal Karl smiled wryly, believing that this was exactly what the emperor did not want to see.
Carl didn't care, and his proud generals didn't care.
Whoever can kill demons better than them is their good buddy.
Obviously, in this regard, Archmage Tesla is more awesome than the two emperors, and this is the gap.
A hundred years ago, as the gods were all darkened, they lost contact one after another, the divine power declined greatly, and the imperial power re-emerged. Now, if nothing has changed, the aristocracy will not easily hand over power.
But in the extraordinary field, what the nobles say doesn't count.
Once a large number of transcendent mortal beings attack, it is still the one with the biggest fist who has the final say. The birth of Rennes Tesla has made people see some bad signs, not for Rennes personally, but everyone is afraid that the era of the gods will return again.
It's really hard to say.
But the more outrageous the gadgets endanger the survival of the entire pan-human camp and the various races, the stronger everyone's dependence on the powerful and transcendent. This process is almost irreversible, and this is where the kings feel the most helpless.
In any case, the current crisis has left the kings breathless, and there is no so-called infighting.
With the implementation of Marshal Karl's order, the entire fortress was completely mobilized, including the troops resting in the rear of the fortress and re-entering combat readiness.
As commander-in-chief, Carl Ellis has a lot to think about.
For example, the support of the physics school does not work, or suddenly pulls the crotch. The attack of the double or demon suddenly increased.
The marshals and staff officers were to take into account all possible factors in order to maximize the success of the reconquest plan.
In fact, Marshal Karl counted almost everything, except for the upper limit of combat power on Rennes' side......
April 14 was a day that should have been uneventful for the world of Kaos.
The Devil's Mouth is a huge cave from a distance, but it is named because of the ominous red light that constantly shines from it, and the demons that explode out immediately day and night.
On this day, more than 200,000 soldiers were ready to go.
The vanguard was even more nervous, because the worst they could do was to run into a demon legion as soon as they stepped out of the gate of the second wall.
It's just that everyone looked at the huge dwarven chariot parked inside the city gate, and suddenly everyone had courage again.
No, for the two-story four-wheeled chariot, propelled by sheer force, had a huge ramming horn in front of it—made of Griffith's head.
The head of the Demon Lord is the source of their courage.
On the tower of the city gate, Marshal Karl looked into the distance with a telescope, only to see that between one or two lines of defense, there were only sparse demons, and there was no large group of demons rushing in the distance, he no longer hesitated, and ordered: "It's time!" Let's go! ”
With the lowering of the giant suspension bridge, a total of three giant city gates, one large and two small, burst open.
The knights rode horses that were highly trained to charge even at demons, and fought first.
The sound of horses' hooves shook the land that had long been blackened by blood and evil.
The rangers scattered in all directions, ignoring the few demons between the two lines of defense, and quickly rushed through the gaps in the distance, killing them beyond the first line of defense, which had been abandoned more than twenty years ago.
The demons scattered in the rear are cleared by their own elite adventurer squads.
At the same time, a large number of infantry swooped down into the ruins of the first line of defense.
Despite the fact that it is called a ruined wall, no matter how dilapidated it is, the intact part of the wall is still 40 meters high and 15 meters wide. If the breaches ranging in length from twenty to fifty meters were successfully repaired, it would be the most beneficial addition to the Demon's Mouth Fortress Group if the abandoned mage towers could be activated.
