Seventy-Nine, The Flames of War (12)
Since the Temple of Light has already responded to the battle, of course the Dark Temple has begun to prepare, according to the plan formulated by the black-clothed Shura for the Dark Temple, the commander-in-chief of the Dark Temple, Andaran*Demon*Dark, and his general staff began to operate at full strength, and a large number of materials were transferred from various empires to the front line to prepare for next year's big war, and the conscription order has begun to be issued, in the words of the black-clothed Shura: "Since the hypocrites of the Temple of Light want to die, then we will teach them a good lesson and let them know the pain." As a result, the total number of armies mobilized by the Dark Temple this time was as high as 1.5 billion, forming a total of fifty legions. Moreover, these 1.5 billion troops are all elite troops, and there is not even a single cannon fodder slave soldier, which shows how much money the Dark Temple has invested.
The total number of the army of the Dark Temple can't be concealed from the Temple of Light, for so many years, the two sides have buried secrets in the opponent's place, and they don't know how many ways they have, and they can't hide anything from each other, hearing that the Dark Temple has mobilized an army of 1.5 billion, Ovatt almost burst out of his eyes, it seems that the Dark Temple really wants to beat the Temple of Light this time, the Temple of Light is now only recruiting a total of 600 million troops from twenty legions, and there were originally one billion, but let the northern front line divide a part, and now there are only 600 million, this force is really too much of a loss in comparison, so it has to be conscripted, so it is so, the trillion gold coins provided by Kaigula are not enough to spend, and Ovant also wanted to be cheeky and ask Kaigula for money, but Kaigula refused: "I don't know how to give birth to gold coins, if you want money, if you don't want money, you don't have to die, you can figure it out yourself." "Ovart had no choice but to apportionment to various nations, and those nations would not dare to rebel against the orders of the Temple of Light anyway.
All the empires, kingdoms, and principalities are full of complaints, they have already paid money once, and now they have to levy money again, and they still don't let people live this day, so all the kings and nobles are transferring this extra burden to the heads of the common people, so that the common people don't hate it? This is not one or two hundred million gold coins, but a total of twenty trillion gold coins.
With money, more supplies can be purchased and more troops can be recruited, a large number of material resources are constantly being transported to the death zone, and a large number of soldiers are also going to the front line from all over the country. Owalt did his best this time, recruiting a total of 1.2 billion troops, a total of 40 legions, although there are still 300 million fewer troops, but it is enough to compete with the Dark Temple.
Orc Empire, the Beast Emperor heard the news that the battle of light and darkness was ready to open again, and invited Xuantian to ask: "Xuantian, should we take advantage of their war to go south again?"
Xuantian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't do such a stupid thing. We fought before because we didn't fight with the Temple of Light, and we fought if we fought, but now, people have already started a war, and if we fight again, it will be easy to get the opposite effect, and we can win a big battle, but the consequence is that the two major temples will join forces to fight us, so we must not do stupid things to go south now. "Hearing Xuantian say this, the Beast Emperor will die, anyway, now the Orc Empire is almost Xuantian in charge, Xuantian does not agree to go south, I believe that there are not many soldiers who agree to go south.
In February 275, the two major temples gathered in the death war zone, the war was about to break out, all parties were on the sidelines, the orcs did not have any movement, the Yanhuang Kingdom only had to do its own business, the Tianguang Empire saw that the Yanhuang Kingdom was not moving, of course it would not move, so it was only waiting for the two temples to have an earth-shattering battle.
The Dark Demon Empire and the Dawn Kingdom still have no movement at all, they still do their business, they have been like this twice, and I believe that the third time will not be an exception, as long as Kaigula and the black-clothed Shura are still in charge, the two countries will not fight, so the people of the two countries are very relieved to do business, taking advantage of the opportunity to make war money, such an opportunity is not common.
The commander-in-chief of the East General Theater of the Temple of Light was the commander of the Fourth Swordsman Legion, Relis Saint In addition to his Fourth Swordsman Legion, his subordinates also have the Fifth Swordsman Legion and other eighteen legions, with a total strength of up to 600 million, and the battle line stationed is as long as 100,000 kilometers, on this 100,000 kilometers of front, the Temple of Light has built twenty fortresses and a large number of fortresses, it can be said that this front is basically impossible to destroy, because, the Temple of Light is a defense line that has spent a lot of money to build, and with the terrain, as long as the army used by the Dark Temple does not exceed one billion, it is impossible to break through this defense line.
The commander of the Fifth Swordsman Legion, Mebitt Saint Reke and Ryris, inspected the front line together, both of them were grim-faced, the army of the Dark Temple was about to arrive at their front line, according to intelligence, this time the commander of the Eastern Theater of the Dark Temple was the head of the Blood Knights of the Dark Nine Army, Cassel * Demon * God, this guy is very difficult to mess with, and what is even more terrifying is that he is very friendly with the black-clothed Shura, and he is the henchman of Katoji, the main hall of the Dark Temple, of course, in his hands, there will be a large number of war machines, and there may even be terrible things like the Heavenly Demon Self-propelled Cannon, so they are still not very optimistic about their side. In addition, according to intelligence, the Dark Temple's troops in the Eastern Theater are as high as 900 million, so it can be said that the Dark Temple is putting its main force into the Eastern Theater, and it seems that it hopes to break through from the Eastern Theater.
The scout's report has arrived: "The army of the Dark Sinners is still a hundred kilometers away from the front line of our army, the 33rd Legion, with a total strength of 30 million, carrying a large number of giant crossbows and magic cannons, Luogu Fort asks for support. Ryris glanced at Mibit and said, "Fort Logu can't be defended, order the troops to retreat." "That's right, it's just a small fortress, it's impossible to withstand the bombardment of the opponent's magic cannon, even if we send more troops, it's useless, we still retain our strength and fight them and the fortress." "Order the troops guarding the castle to abandon the castle and retreat to the Demon Slayer Fortress, where we will fight them to the death. ”
The Demon Slayer Fortress is located in the middle of the Eastern Front, it is the most powerful fortress, defending here is the Fourth Swordsman Legion and the Fifth Swordsman Legion and the Twenty-first Army Corps, with a total strength of up to 90 million, and the other nineteen fortresses are each heavily defended, behind the Demon Slayer Fortress, there are also five legions of troops, this is the general reserve of the Eastern Theater, such a formation is already the best formation, and it is common sense to defend according to the danger when the troops are not as good as others.
The army of the Dark Temple arrived at the city of the Demon Slayer Fortress without any hindrance, and the troops attacking the Demon Slayer Fortress included the Blood Knights, the Dark Third Cavalry Legion, the Thirty-third Legion and the Thirty-fourth Legion, a total of four legions, with a total strength of 120 million, but the other fortresses have not yet found any Dark Temple troops, and behind these four legions, there are still the thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, The total strength of the thirty-seven and thirty-eight legions is also as high as 120 million, that is to say, the total strength of the Dark Temple to attack the Demon Slayer Fortress is as high as 240 million, accounting for almost one-third of the total strength of the Eastern Theater of the Dark Temple.
Seeing the army of the Dark Temple, Rayrius's mood was very heavy, and then he inspected the defense on the city wall, and then returned to the headquarters to rest, but at this time, he could sleep so much? The enemy's army was pressing, although there were still five legions of reserves behind him, but if all the reserves were fought here, if the Dark Temple attacked other fortresses, then he would not be able to draw even a single reinforcement, which was definitely very deadly.
The Demon Slayer Fortress, forty-five kilometers long, thirty kilometers wide, with a total area of 1,300 square kilometers, can station tens of millions of troops, every building in the fortress has been blessed by countless magic, and countless defensive magic arrays have been arranged, and the city wall is as high as one hundred and thirty meters, although it is not as exaggerated as the fortress built by the perverted guy in black, it can be said that the Demon Slayer Fortress is already a very strong fortress, and it is not easy for the Dark Temple to capture the Demon Slayer Fortress, plus the Light Army has a large number of magicians, as well as countless strategic materials, and the city wall can be strengthened at any time, thereforeThe Demon Slayer Fortress can almost be described as indestructible, but today it is facing the most severe test.
On February 23, 275, after resting for three days, the dark army from afar finally began to move, the Blood Knight Legion was the first to light up, all red armor, and red mounts, it looked like a sea of blood, so red that it was terrifying, the Blood Knight Legion only sent one-tenth of the military strength, about three million troops, in front of the fortress twelve kilometers in formation, the team was forty kilometers long, divided into dozens of columns, but under the scorching sun (the death zone is located at the equator, February is also the scorching sun), the people and mounts are very peaceful, there is no slightest fluctuation, the mounts do not scream, and the team does not have a trace of chaos, which shows that the Blood Knight Legion is absolutely elite, and its prestige is not blown out.
Before the Blood Knight Legion was 60,000 strange magic carriage-like things, I saw that these magic carriages were all sticking out of the long cannon muzzles, obviously, these are weapons belonging to the self-propelled cannon class, 60,000 ah, that doesn't mean that there are 60,000 magic cannons. Seeing this number, the bright army all looked bitter, 60,000 magic cannons, enough to bomb the Demon Extermination Fortress to pieces, yes, the Demon Exterminator Fortress is protected by a defensive magic array, it's just that any magic cannon has a certain limit to bear, if the force of the attack is too strong, any magic array can't be stopped, not to mention their magic array, even the Yanhuang clan's "Reverse Five Elements Great Array" can't be stopped.
Ryris sighed and said, "Order all the troops, prepare for an artillery battle." "The Army of Light is also starting to get busy, pushing the magic cannon on the city wall and preparing for an artillery battle with the Army of Darkness.
