Chapter 152: A Thousand Miles of Collapse (2)

"Report ...... Report...... The report ......: "A scout rolls into the military headquarters of Fort Climeley. He shouted and ran coldly, and then fell and gnawed on the mud, making a heavy sound.

"Who is making a loud noise?" said General Michel Lamander, dissatisfied, for the cacophony of voices had interrupted his train of thought. He opened the door angrily and roared, "Do you know what time it is?"

"Report ...... Newspaper ...... Report General, Enemy ...... Enemy...... Everybody has ......"

"Smack!" Ramand stepped forward and slapped the poor scout in the face. He roared angrily: "What's wrong with the enemy? If you waste time with me stammering, I'll kill you!"

"Yes...... Be. The poor scout shuddered, clutching his bruised cheeks, "The coalition forces have passed through the Broken Water Ridge and are encamped fifty kilometers from the fortress. ”

"Is there any other news?" asked Lamander in a calm tone.

"Not for the time being. ”

"You did a great job and kept you informed in a timely manner, and you will do so in the future. Lamander turned to the scout and said, "It's none of your business, go down." With that, he strode back to his office and sat down in his chair. Faced with the mountain of military documents, personal letters, and notification documents, he couldn't help frowning. He opened his ten fingers and scratched his scalp fiercely, grabbed his neat hair into a bird's nest and thought to himself: What should come is still coming, at least it has been delayed for a long time, isn't it? The magic array arranged by the elites of the Magician Guild can be regarded as a miracle, otherwise the coalition army will be able to set up camp on the Loess Plain this afternoon......

"Oh no!" Lamand sighed, pulling out a secret letter from his pocket, a top-secret letter that would cause panic if it was released. On the crumpled letterhead was a line of small letters: The coalition forces are no less than 50,000, including 5,000 griffin knights...... There are no less than ten magic crystal cannons. Among them, the words of the magic crystal cannon are marked with a red pen.

(Crystal Cannon: A heavy magic weapon rumored to have been invented by the prehistoric dwarven king Dane Orio Groin, but there is no record of this in the internal history of the dwarves, the only thing that is certain is that this terrible weapon was born in prehistoric times, and its power and rate of fire have been greatly increased after being transformed and perfected by generations of dwarves.) As long as there are enough magic crystals, the average magic crystal cannon can fire four times per minute, and the power of each shot is comparable to that of level 3 or even level 4 magic magic. It has become an indispensable weapon for all countries. )

"Fifty thousand troops and five thousand griffin knights, no less than ten magic crystal cannons...... And we only have 10,000 people to defend the fortress...... Tell me, O creator, whether to retreat, to resist, or to surrender?" Lamand tugged at his hair in pain.

"Don't worry...... All we can win is to wait for the aid of fifteen hundred berserkers from the orcs, and then wait long enough for the Uzikohei reinforcements to intercept the support of the Western Alliance. At that time, you will be able to flank the front and rear and completely annihilate the enemy army......" A flash of white light appeared behind him.

"You've also seen it, you know that the Western Coalition Army is strong, but I'm afraid it won't last that day. ”

"You should ......burn all those personal letters," Konstantin said with a smile, pointing to the pile of thick letters on the table, "Don't let the capitulation faction influence your thinking! If you can't even firm up your position, general, then who else can lead the soldiers to resist the coalition forces? ”

"You're right! I'm much more at ease with you, but these letters can't be burned. ”

"Don't burn them? What? You still want to keep them as evidence to get them out and clean them up?"

"No, those people can't be killed by the enemy. There are too many people who are persuaded to surrender, and they all hold important positions in the military department, and if they want to kill them now, it will shake the military foundation and morale, and even force them to rebel. If only part of the army is killed, it will be a violation of military law, and there will be no law ......"

"What do you mean, General?" asked Konstantin with a puzzled expression.

"Whoever writes a letter of persuasion will not be given a heavy responsibility......" Lamander smiled wryly as he looked at the mountain of letters on the table, "this is just a strategy, there are too few people available......

The next day, General Lamand came to the city wall early to look into the distance.

"Report!" Huang Chen rode and came to report quickly, and the scouts jumped off their horses and entered from the side gate and galloped all the way to the city wall.

"Just say it!" Ramand didn't talk nonsense, which showed that he was anxious in his heart.

"The coalition forces have advanced to thirty kilometers. ”

"I just went down at 50 kilometers last night, why did I travel to 30 kilometers this morning?" Lamand muttered to himself.

"It should be to speed up the march with the help of magic. "If this continues, it will be possible to launch an offensive in the afternoon." ”

"The general hastened to give the order to send troops! The Western Coalition Army is coming from afar, tired and tired, and the formation is not stable, so we must not miss the opportunity and do not come again!" said an old officer standing on the left side of Lamand.

"Prepare the equipment to defend the city, hold on!" said Lamander, turning and walking down the wall.

Blair rode a tall horse and led the vanguard of 10,000 men across the Loess Plain, lined up in front of the Climeray Fortress.

Ten magic crystal cannons were erected, hundreds of ladders and rushing carts were in place, and a thousand griffon knights in the rear were on standby, ready to take off at any time.

The military headquarters of Fort Climeray received a notification of the attack of the coalition forces, and although they had been prepared for a long time, it was still a mess.

"Ten magic crystal cannons? Are you sure you're right?"

"Absolutely right!"

"How can this be kept, they will be able to raze the fortress to the ground in less than an hour!"

"Inform General Lamander of such an important matter!"

"We still suggest that the general abandon the city and retreat......"

"I ......"

"What are you discussing?" asked General Lamander as he broke into the hall. When the people saw that his face was full of anger, they stopped squeaking. "If the enemy says surrender and retreat again, there will be no mercy!" he said as he drew his sword and stabbed it fiercely into the ground, cutting his blade into the stone for three points, and everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks.

On the Loess Plain, a great war was imminent.

"Bang ......" With the wave of Blair's big hand, the ten magic crystal cannons rang out in unison, shaking the yellow earth and lifting a thin veil.

"It's the Crystal Cannon...... Get down, protect your head!" shouted a non-commissioned officer above the Climeray Fortress.

The violent explosion of "boom boom boom ......" was earth-shattering, and the cliffs on both sides also trembled. Fortunately, there were two Magus Guild Magisters on the city wall to support the strong defensive barrier, and the city wall did not collapse under the volley of magic crystal cannons.

"Crossbowmen prepare!Three-two-one, let's go!" With an order, the two magisters immediately withdrew the barrier, and suddenly the sound of the machine spring was loud, and the dense rain of arrows swept towards the coalition army like flying locusts. Not to be outdone, the coalition forces returned the color with more than a thousand crossbowmen and crossbowmen on hard crossbows.

After more than ten seconds, the ten magic crystal cannons were reloaded and recharged, and they were about to be fired again. The two magisters immediately propped up the defensive barrier, and the crossbowmen curled up to hide under cover.

The battle was in full swing, and the underground command room of the military headquarters was also in full swing, with a group of people discussing around the magic crystal ball.

Kane Laurent pushed through the crowd and asked loudly, "How's it going?"

The two magicians who were in control of the crystal ball looked up and replied, "The enemy's ten magic crystal cannons are divided into two teams. Directly in front of the city wall is 12 o'clock, and the two teams are located at 2 and 10 o'clock. ”

"Where's the enemy magician's arrangement, are you guarding the magic crystal cannon?"

"I sensed a good fluctuation of telekinesis around the magic crystal cannon, because it should be defended by a large number of mages in the enemy army. ”

"It's hard to do!" said President Laurent, frowning, "Magicians have always had limited telekinesis, and the Crystal Cannon is different from a magician, and as long as there are enough Magic Crystals, the Crystal Cannon can tirelessly output firepower like a perpetual motion machine. ”

"That's right! The key is the magic crystal. General Lamand brought in a map and said, "Can you find out where the enemy's supplies are in stock, or the supply lines?" As he spoke, he took a ruler and a pen and drew a grid on the map and marked the numbers, "Coordinates: 12,713,815,617,5...... This area. ”

"General, do you mean to attack the enemy's magic crystal transport lines and reserves? ”

"Yes, since the enemy has concentrated a large number of mages on the front line, there must be an emptiness in their rear. As long as there is no supply of magic crystals, the magic crystal cannon will not be able to exert its powerful firepower. ”

After a while, the two sorcerers replied to General Ramander, "Sorry General, our Magical Winds of Insight can't sense that area. The enemy seems to have placed a magic circle there, limiting our magic. ”

"Impossible!" said Laurent, "they have been marching all morning with the assistance of the magician, how can they have the time to arrange such a large area of magic array?

"No need!" said Ramander with a laugh, "Bernard Blair is notoriously cunning. Cunning is cunning, and playing is a little cleverness rather than great wisdom. ”

"General......" Laurent asked, puzzled.

"They knew that Kevin Russ had the strongest army of magicians on the Middle-earth continent, and they would definitely not dare to spread the magicians too far to defend important materials. Ramander thought for a moment and continued, "There are only two possibilities, one is that their magician is escorting the magic crystal, and the powerful telekinetic fluctuations in front of them are fake. The second is that the magic crystals and magicians used in the siege are on the front line, and the other party will block our detection of the wind of knowledge. I think the first one is more likely!President Laurent, please lead your mages in a magical attack on the enemy's magic crystal cannon. ”

"This is too risky, General, if the enemy is the second possibility, it will inevitably start a magic war, and once our magician's mental power is consumed too much, it will not be able to maintain the defensive enchantment......"

"No! Blair wouldn't do that. In fact, he is more anxious than we are, and this battle must be over before tonight comes. How many magic crystals can you carry on the way to the rapid march? Then the important material must be guarded by a large number of magicians......"

Laurent shook her head and said, "Isn't he taking a risk by doing this?

"I think that's what he was going to do, because his real cards are Griffon Knights!" but we didn't choose ......," Lamand said in a stiff tone.

"Yes!" Laurent turned to go out with a dark cloud on her face.

"General, if you want to fight a magic war, you must ask Master Constantine to come out, but I haven't seen him since this morning. A staff officer next to General Lamand stepped forward and asked.

"He has a more important task. ”
