This time, I hope you like this song "Magic"

Neielle swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a hoarse voice of suppressed emotion resounded in the room.
The shooting of the rescuers infuriated the group, and the other search teams organized several charges before approaching to try to rescue their wounded comrades. But the opponent's crossbow arrows were too dense, and the arrows fired alternately by a dozen pointed ears hiding on the slope never stopped. Dragged back a wounded at least 5 or 6 people fell. The knight commanding the scene ordered that the rescue of the wounded soldiers was forbidden, and everyone could only listen to the wailing and crying of the wounded companion until he lost his breath. The other troops deep into the jungle gathered together and changed their formation, charging on foot with the knights in plate armor, and the light infantry chasing down the remnants of the enemy as soon as the knights had dispersed them. ”
"That's what you have to do, but that shit's brain isn't that good, and it's your mentor who came up with the idea, right?"
Pierre, who was in a slightly better mood, upgraded the viscount from [Pig] to [Waste], and Locke also smiled slightly.
"Yes, the Knight of Kolber admonished the viscount, with the heavily armored knight as the lead to drive away and crush the pointy-eared crossbow attacks, and the light infantry to charge at the fleeing enemy. ”
Bearing Pierre's approval and Locke's smile, Neel's face with a straight spine was a miserable smile that bordered on tragedy.
The knight also had the shield-bearer and crossbowman advance in tandem, and the magician chanted an attack spell from behind. This would allow for the quickest annihilation of the opponent, which the Viscount quickly adopted. Organize a phalanx to fight back against the pointy-eared ones. ”
"Is that a bit of a waste still useful? ”
"But as soon as the phalanx approached the slope, the pointed ears ran out at once. Everyone thought that the mongrels were frightened by our position, and decided that this kind of head-on battle was not something they could resist, so they simply fled without hesitation. The companions had had enough of the suffering of these animals, and now they were ready to give them a good look, and the phalanx also sped up and rushed up the slope......"
The look and tone of voice became more and more pathetic, and the abnormality of the familiar playmate made Locke feel bad, and a terrible speculation came to the surface.
"Trap?"
A sharp intuition to the point, even an afterthought is very commendable.
The elves monitored the human side with binoculars, and when high-value targets, magicians and crossbowmen, rushed towards them, the three raiding teams immediately stopped suppressing the group's retreat. Before leaving, each of them pulled the rope buried under the fallen leaves and painted the same color as the ground as they did during training, and accelerated their evacuation without looking back while counting the seconds.
Concealed underground, the pull-type ignition mechanism is affected by the traction, and the hammer slams the flint against the side of the fire door, and the spark that bursts out ignites the fuse, which is long enough for the elves to retreat to a safe area, and at the same time attack the target Kiyiben enters the killing range.
At the moment when the fuse burned to the bottom of the mine, a mixture of nitroglycerin and potassium nitrate, nitrocellulose, wood powder filler, petrolatum, and activated toner was detonated, and three large white phosphorus explosive devices (note) let out a terrifying first cry.
The structure of this low-tech mine is similar to that of the anti-infantry directional mine, which is magnified up to 80 cm high, 50 cm wide and 35 cm thick, but the loading is very different. After the detonation of the lowest level of explosives, it is not broken iron, iron sand and other gadgets that explode outward.
White phosphorus, which is highly susceptible to spontaneous combustion, is the second layer of the mine's charge, and the high-temperature blast above the ignition point of 40°C ignites the white phosphorus, and the high temperature released is transferred to the third layer of charge, which is mixed and stirred in the proportion of 25% aluminum powder and 73% iron oxide powder, which is collectively called thermite (Note 2) on the earth.
The spectacle of the volcanic eruption stunned the humans, before they could react to what was happening and make a dodge reflex, after the fastest reacting mage non-commissioned officer chanted the first syllable of the defensive spell as fast as he could. Countless scorching rains of fire, meteors, dense and gorgeous, rained down on the unsuspecting crowd. ...,
There is no chance of surviving the 2482°C heat and rain.
"It was like a meteor in the sky that all condensed into raindrops and raindrops, pouring the hellish karmic fire that burned through every qiē towards the crowd. The companions on the hillside had nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide. Trees and clothes stained with a little spark and immediately set on fire. What's even more terrifying is that the kind of spark can even melt and burn through the armor. All you have is a little bit of it on your body - whether it's your face, your body, your arms, your thighs. The unquenchable fire burns the flesh and skin and penetrates deep into the bones. There are also guys who are well dressed, but they have become a dried corpse......"
In a trance-like and empty tone, Neiel describes the horrific scene of the time. The scorching smell of human flesh, the pungent smell of garlic, the crossbowmen who ran in a panic when they were ignited, the flames of the crossbowmen, the shield-bearers with carbonized hands covering their faces stained with Mars, the magicians with their cloaks and coats intact and their flesh shriveled like long-dead bones, the knights whose armor melted into molten iron and flesh and blood, and the halberdiers whose chests were completely burned through and whose scorched ground could be seen through the holes...... In the end, the white smoke completely obscured the living hell scroll, and the high heat ran out of oxygen, and the white phosphorus poisonous gas that invaded the human body carried out the final harvest. The creepy screams gradually died down, and a qiē returned to silence.
No one could approach this poisonous cloud, and everyone knew that it was impossible for the comrades who were engulfed in it to survive it, and several soldiers knelt on the ground and wept in despair, and many veterans also had tears on their cheeks. The knights and commanders who couldn't close their jaws didn't even have the heart to pursue the sin of shaking the morale of the army.
Morale, an important pillar of the war, has completely collapsed.
96;
Scraps of armor, crossbows, swords, and human bones were repeatedly selected from the scorched earth and the corpses were scraped together, and the number of casualties counted after checking the list of personnel was 96, not including the 7 who had previously died from the scorched iron and iron sand from the shots.
The prospect of the encirclement and suppression operation can only be described as bleak, with the loss of nearly a third of the troops, and the complete collapse of the morale of the troops, unable to carry out the original operation. Viscount Fucher, who had no military talent and almost zero command experience, gave the right orders like a commander in his right mind.
Retreat, go home.
After gathering all kinds of mutilated corpses, the raiding party made a 180-degree turn, going back and forth from where.
Pierre clenched his fists to beat, curse, strangle, and tear apart the pointy ears of vile cruelty, but the reality and the last sanity of the rage prevent the enraged knight from carrying out his impulses.
A fully staffed, well-equipped 300-man raider could not do at a heavy cost, let alone a knight who could go on his own.
"Damn it, where did the pointy-eared guys get a dangerous guy!!"
In the end, the anger that had nowhere to vent could not even leave room for fermentation, and turned into a thunderclap roar that was about to overturn the roof.
The elves could not have concocted such mysterious, deadly traps of great power on their own. Skillful use of terrain to ambush, block, or lure humans into triggering traps has also been used in the past. But there has never been such a close tactical cooperation as the present case of the battle. It is believed that the elves will not be able to open their minds to this point by drinking a ton of pagan elixir - the brains are not so good.
There must be a bastard with a head full of evil ideas and a belly full of bad water behind the spiky ears, otherwise it's hard to explain the appearance of those cruel traps and the failure of the crusade.
The knight flashed this thought and was convinced of it, just the lack of evidence.
But whether the speculation is true or not, it is an indisputable fact that the difficulty of completing this task and the cost of completing it are constantly rising, becoming more and more unbearable. ...,
The knight's anger turned to bitterness, and he quickly quieted down.
Locke looked at the knight and his frustrated playmate, who no longer spoke, as if he was sulking, and the boy suddenly had a strong instinct.
It may not be long before he walks up to the mountains and forests full of traps and hidden arrows, and faces the cunning and murderous pointed ears.

Commentary on the time of the small theater
Brunhill: I always feel that the white phosphorus bomb is a bit overdone, and I hope that those who died in the war can rest in peace.
Li Lin: It doesn't matter, anyway, Wilt doesn't have the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons to restrict the use of white phosphorus bombs.
Brunhill: So, please explain what a white phosphorus bomb is.
Li Lin: White phosphorus bombs are a type of grenade, artillery shell, and bomb, which takes advantage of the spontaneous combustion of white phosphorus in the air. Chemical weapons that exploit the toxicity of white phosphorus itself have also been developed. Originally, white phosphorus bombs were used as incendiary bombs, but they were gradually abandoned by countries because of the great physical and psychological trauma they caused to soldiers in the belligerent countries, and were used as target designation bombs and smoke grenades.
White phosphorus is a colorless or light yellow, translucent waxy substance, with strong irritation, its smell is similar to garlic, the ignition point is very low, once it comes into contact with oxygen, it will burn, emitting a yellow flame and emitting a strong smoke. It can be used to burn substances that are difficult to burn with ordinary combustion materials, and it is characterized by being able to fully burn in a small space or with little air density, and the temperature of general combustion can reach more than 1000 degrees, which is enough to destroy all living organisms within an effective range.
The white phosphorus bomb is very dangerous, it burns continuously after touching an object until it is extinguished, so when it comes into contact with the human body, the flesh skin will be penetrated, and then it will penetrate deep into the bone.
White phosphorus incendiary bombs are very powerful incendiary bombs, which are difficult to remove in time if they are on the skin, and the combustion temperature is high, which can burn all the way to the bones, and the smoke produced at the same time is extremely irritating to the eyes and nose. Initially, the Americans used it to great effect against the Japanese in the fortifications of the Pacific islands. The technological content is not large, and now the armies of various countries basically have it.
Brunhill: So, what's the deal with thermite?
Li Lin: Thermite is a pink mixture of aluminum powder and ferric oxide powder in a certain proportion, when ignited with an ignition agent, the reaction is carried out violently, and the reaction device alumina and elemental iron are released and a large amount of heat is released, the temperature can reach 3000 °C, which can melt the generated iron.
In addition to welding rails and smelting refractory metals, thermite also has a wide range of applications in the military, such as loading thermite components into artillery warheads, which can greatly improve lethality. In the book "Rocket Artillery" written by scientists of the former Soviet Union, it is said that the charge of the warhead of the rocket artillery has the component of thermite.
In the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, there are steel helmets and carbines of the US military on display, which were burned together, and other bombs did not have such great energy except rockets.
Brunhill: Thank you for the commentary, and I look forward to seeing His Excellency Li Lin appear again tomorrow.
