Five kilometers away from Linfeng City, the grassland people's army is encamping here.

After 30 hours of fierce siege battles, more than half of the combat strength of the troops had been lost, and the atmosphere in the camp was also depressing, and the haze of defeat hung over everyone's hearts.

Of the losses of the troops, the casualties in the first 20 hours of the siege accounted for only three or four percent.

What really made them suffer was the new type of city defense magic cannon sacrificed by the city defenders this morning.

When the three or five city defense magic cannons were fired at the siege troops in unison to activate the sixth-order spell "Heavenly Burning Flame", the city instantly became a hell of fire.

Even the Heavenly Father, who was as strong as an eighth-order knight, had to retreat in the face of such firepower suppression.

After all, the eighth-order knight is also flesh and blood, and he is not strong enough to resist the fire power of the entire city with his own strength.

This is still the case for eighth-order knights, not to mention low-level transcendentals, no one can last more than ten breaths in the sea of fire.

It's just that this decisive battle is very important to the Lebuse clan, they have been waiting for this day for decades, and seeing that Peak City is already close at hand, how can they give up so easily?

So the pointless battle continued for another half a day.

Under the orders of Su Yi, the young master of the Lebs tribe and the commander of the steppe troops, batch after batch of steppe troops rushed forward to launch a suicidal charge towards the city gate, and then completely melted in the sea of fire like sugar water.

Until the number of casualties in the troops was beyond his tolerance, even his troops began to protest against his orders.

Only then did he finally admit the failure of the siege and let his troops retreat temporarily.

At this time, in the main tent in the center of the stronghold, Su Yi was discussing with the Heavenly Father about the future of the Lebs clan.

"Now that Linfeng City has rebuilt its city defenses, it is no longer possible to forcibly attack the city."

Heavenly Father said slowly, "Give up this goal and find a way back for your people." ”

More than ten years ago, it was precisely because of the realization that the city defense weapons must be destroyed that the Lebs were able to successfully capture the city of Linfeng, and he would send his first son Reiner to the city as an internal response.

His train of thought was right, and judging from the results, Reiner did complete his main task, not only destroying the five city defense magic cannons, but even killing the two generals of the city defenders.

Although he failed to destroy the barrier of the circle in the end, he also made enough contributions.

However, the city defense artillery that Reiner had painstakingly destroyed was easily rebuilt in a short time, and the firepower of its new fort was even more ferocious than before.

The brutal siege cut off their ambition to completely capture the city, forcing them to make another plan.

As for Su Yi, he was the commander who led the grassland troops to launch this war, and he always believed that he had the ability and obligation to lead his people to conquer Linfeng City and regain the land and honor of his ancestors.

But now, for this goal, not only his brother died, but his people also suffered heavy casualties, and the city has not yet been defeated.

This plunged him into a deep meltdown and self-doubt.

What is the origin of the white raven? Why didn't Reiner break the "Holy Barrier"? Why did the Knights on the Eastern Front return so quickly?

And, how were those fortifications suddenly rebuilt in a single day?

No one could answer the countless doubts in his heart, and he lost control of his emotions in the command tent for a while, and it took a long time to calm his unwillingness and anger.

No matter how the battle turns out, life always goes on.

As the young master of the Lebs tribe and the future heavenly father, he is also responsible for those who are still alive.

"Let's settle down on the west side of the prairie first."

After being silent for a long time, Su Yi finally spoke, "Even if you can't capture Linfeng City, if you can occupy half of the land in the west, you can count it as a gain."

"Linfeng City can barely compete with us by relying on city defense weapons, and if we fight on the grassland, they can't help us."

When he said this, the figure of the white raven resurfaced in his mind, which made his tone quietly weaken a little.

With the intervention of the white crow, will the current steppe people still have such a big advantage on the grassland?

"That's all I can do." Heavenly Father nodded.

Now, the Lebs have paid such a big price, and it is unbearable to let them go back beyond the frontier.

Even if it is just a piece of land in the west of the grassland, at least it is the result of his own battle, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the clansmen.

After setting the future direction, Su Yi called the other generals in the army and began to order many matters for the withdrawal of the army tomorrow one by one.

And at this moment, high in the sky.

Yuna piloted the Valkyrie Winged to an altitude of 600 meters above the Prairie stronghold.

At such a height, she looked at the stronghold of the steppe people below, as if she was looking at a small black ant nest.

The steppe scouts didn't notice an uninvited guest above their heads, and they were still intently watching in the direction of Peak City, guarding against the Knights of Peak who might go out of the city to pursue at any time.

"How does it feel to use full psychic telepathy to control a jetpack?"

In the soul link, Nolan asks with interest, "Will it be more difficult than the traditional way of manipulation before?" ”

Yuna felt silently for a while, and under the effect of the "Soul Resonance" spell, she could clearly sense the operation of all the spiritual pathways in Valkyrie's backpack.

As long as you inject spiritual power into one of the spiritual pathways, you can trigger the switch of the corresponding circle and cast the corresponding spell.

"It's a very special feeling, it's completely different from what I used to feel."

Yuna thought for a moment and said, "I like this way of doing things, it gives Valkyrie more freedom. ”

Completely controlled by telepathy, the driver's most intuitive experience is the liberation of her left hand.

Whereas her left hand used to be used to control the joystick, her left hand can now be equipped with other weapons.

For example, the individual strategic-level magic cannon carried during this sortie was attached to her left shoulder, and her left hand held and aimed.

"Good." Nolan approving.

Being able to quickly master the use of new equipment every time is also one of Yuna's outstanding talents.

"Then, use the magic cannon on them."

Looking at the military stronghold below where the dense steppe troops gathered, he curled the corners of his mouth and showed a cruel smile.

"Since you started the war, don't think about retreating now.

"You have not repaid the pain and sins inflicted on the people of Linfeng."

Yuna raised the magic cannon in her left hand, the slender barrel of which was like a sword of Damocles hanging in the sky, pointing directly at a main tent in the center of the steppe stronghold below.

It was supposed to be the command center of the steppe troops.

It was already sunset, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, Yuna gradually corrected the angle of fire through the improvised sights on the barrel, and then pressed the trigger at some point.

"Hum—"

The mana was quickly charged, and a circle of red magic quickly spread out at the muzzle of the cannon.

The furious fire elementals gathered together, forming a huge wave of flame turbulence that poured out towards the steppe stronghold below.

"Wow-"

Flames swept across the ground, and devastating blows fell from the sky.

Thanks to Mo De's rational Yi Xuehan, youth is always inevitably rewarded, and there will be a change later
