vs 53 Light and Darkness (1)
On 18 February, the seventh day after the start of the battle in the wooded area north of Tillmanburg.
In the face of the undead army's onslaught regardless of casualties, the elven ranger troops stationed in the northern mountains and forests did not stick to each station too much, so this war seemed fierce and grand, but in fact, the casualties on both sides were not very large.
However, in order to stall for time, the rangers took advantage of nature's favor and set countless traps in the jungle. The Speedy Ranger looked like they were losing all the way, but in fact, in the past seven days, Ferrola's undead legion had occupied less than half of the northern mountain forest.
On the morning of the seventh day, the fierce offensive of the undead army suddenly slowed down.
At the same time, the offensive and defensive battles of Felder City were even more intense. Because, this war has entered the final critical moment. Without pressure from the Undead Legion at Fort Tillmanburg, the Confederate forces under the command of Lundine Reagan launched their most powerful offensive in the past seven days, successfully destroying all the defenses laid out by the Undead Legion in the city.
In the outer city of the city, which was completely defeated by the Allied forces, rows of magical energy crystals five meters high exuding pure magical energy were built around the inner city occupied by the undead legions. The mages of a corps sent by the Kingdom of Misha carefully probed the forbidden strikes that might break out inside the city, and built a defensive circle in advance that could dissolve most of the forbidden strikes.
Twelve o'clock at noon,
The mild rays of the sun in early spring shone through the purified clouds and fell into the ruined city, the originally quietly erected Magic Energy Crystal Tower emitted a "buzzing" screech sound under the control of the mages, fifty cannons were transported to the pre-built positions amid shouting and scolding, and twenty airships in the sky were neatly arranged and slowly advanced over Feld City under the orders of the goblin commander.
On the command platform before the war, Rendin Reagan was in high spirits, talking and laughing with the werewolf commanders around him.
"We have enough attack tools to bombard the ruins of Felder City, but do you really want to do that?" Commander Ian didn't want to end up in ruins after paying a huge price.
"Your Majesty has said that he only wants Feld City, and he doesn't care what Felder City becomes. Lundin-Reagan didn't care about Felder City, he cared more about the Armageddon that His Majesty the Emperor said, "The Undead Legion has abandoned Cullen City, and now the only place where they can live is Felder City, no matter what the future war holds, destroying this city will not hurt the Confederates at all, and... There was not a single living person in it. ”
"Felder half-elves have been thriving here since a thousand years ago, and if you destroy this place, you will destroy half of their civilization. "Ian hates this kind of destructive behavior in his bones.
"Do you think there is a need for this city to survive?" Lundin Reagan pointed to the demon-infested castle ahead, "even the Feld people themselves don't care about the destruction of this city, what are you worried about?"
"I'm just saying what I think, and the final decision is up to you. Ian shook his head indifferently.
"I don't want to bleed my soldiers any more, so my decision is to destroy the inner city and the Garden Castle together!" said the murderous intent on Lendin Reagan's face.
"Heralds..."Lendin-Reagan took out his magic watch and looked at it, he wasn't going to talk nonsense, "the artillery will give me ten fucking rounds first, and then let the mages cover it with ten rounds of magic, airship..." he shook his head, "The airship is His Majesty's treasure, let them stand by first." ”
Rending Reagan's order was given with ease, but the herald did not dare to slack off or slight.
His order reached the artillery position as fast as he could, and five minutes later fifty guns began the first salvo with the roar of the officers, the earth-shattering explosion blasting through the undead bone shield held up by the undead legion as the sky-shattering explosions echoed across the sky.
...
At the High Command of the Defensive Line in Depth in the Battle of Tillmannburg Center, Sira Marne is arguing fiercely with Dean Selt, who has rushed back from the front, and the commander of the Mage Tower, who has considerable opinions about Sira Marne's current conservative strategy.
However, the brawl was ultimately won by Sheila Marne, as most of the officers, including Bowenwright, supported Siala Marne's strategy.
"I decided to retreat to the second line of defence. "Sheila Marne came up with her new ideas after Dean Celt left, and her train of thought was not influenced by Dean Celt in the slightest.
"Let the Undead Legion go deeper?" Bowenright thought as he stared at the map, "Enshi Ella clearly wants to go head-to-head with us in order to wear down our forces, and he even goes so far as to abandon Feld City. ”
"So, all we need to do now is preserve our strength. Sira Marne nodded and said, "Not only do we have to preserve our strength, but we also want to let the undead army go as deep as possible. ”
"Over the past few months, the undead army of Fort Tillmann has gone back and forth with us on these five defensive fronts, but we have never been able to decide the final victory. Bowenwright couldn't help but sigh, "I hope this time can really end this war." ”
"It's only been less than half a year, and in the calculations of the Military Aircraft Department, our war with the 'Order of Chaos' will last at least ten years. Sira Marne's tone was calm, "Of course, the premise is that the previous confrontation situation is maintained, and the sudden change in the battle of Cullen Leader breaks the previous confrontation. ”
"So, how long do you think we'll have to fight?"
"If it goes well, it can be solved within half a year, if it doesn't go well... Only the goddess knows how long it will take!"
...
In the jungle camp established by the elves in the central region of the northern mountains and forests, which was packed with 20,000 elite ranger troops, Pedi and his command members set up a temporary headquarters in the only open space in the camp.
The dense jungle was very kind to the elves, but Pedi was very annoying, not to mention the residual evil energy, the smell of dampness and corruption made the spice packet in his hand never let go from the beginning, and the knights spilled the insect repellent powder they carried with them all over the ground.
"Lundin Reagan is trying to wipe the city of Felder off the map?" Lizzo Carlo took the battle report from Felder City, "a ruin will not help in a future decisive battle even if it is captured, and there is no barrier around the city except for the Melosi River." ”
"Feld City has long been meaningless, and since Ferrora cares about the city so much, there's nothing wrong with destroying it early. Pedi didn't care about the question, "Besides, if the undead army stationed in Felder City clings to the inner city and the Garden Castle and engages us in street fighting, we will not be able to completely occupy the Felder City area in a short time, and Sir Lundin's plan is that I overdid it." ”
"Felder City can do anything. Etia glanced at Lizzocaro and then at Thrandil, "Sira Marne has retreated to the last two lines of defense, and the Battle of Feld City will be over in two days at most, and now... It's our turn. ”
"Rest assured, since I agree with your plan, I will not object to it again. Thranduil knew exactly what Etiya meant by his gaze, and he first showed his attitude, and then said, "Our main force has been secretly assembled on the southern edge of the mountain forest region in the past seven days...", his gaze fell on Pedi, "Now it only takes one order, and the 150,000 army, including the Minotaur and the Giant Warriors, can reach the northern defense line of Tillmannburg and launch a strong attack in three hours." ”
"We also need to leave a force behind to fend off Ferrola. Aetia straightened her leather armor as she walked over to the makeshift sand table she had built, the campfire reflecting her resolute face, "It's still according to plan... I'm staying?"
"You can't stop Ferrorah. Pedi shook her head.
"It only takes three days, and I still have this confidence, and I still have the forbidden art strike ready. Etia had a deferential expression.
"This kind of thing is not something that can be done with confidence. Pedi shook his head, took a sip of the low-alcohol ale handed over to him, and glanced at his wife, who was meditating and resting next to him, "I'll stay!"
"This can't be done!" Irene Fil suddenly opened her eyes, and her body flashed to her husband's side, pointing to the ground with a little excitement, "Your duty is not here, you have a greater duty. ”
"We need to win this war. Pedi took off his gloves and gently stroked his wife's cheek, then turned his head to look at Thrandil, "My wife is pregnant, you need to make sure she is absolutely safe." ”
"I'd better stay. Moiraka walked over to the area where the firelight could cover it, her cold and beautiful face resolute and determined, "When it matters, I can mobilize the power given to me by the goddess of nature and turn this jungle into hell!"
"But you can't suppress Ferrola's power. Pedi frowned.
"Nature can not only give life, but also death!" Moiraka looked at the Human Emperor indifferently, "Natural death is the most terrible thing. ”
Erin Fei'er looked at her husband and the three elven generals looking at each other, and felt that she should say something, but she didn't know how to persuade her, she knew what Ferrola's current power represented, and she knew that her husband was not wrong, even if she searched the entire Alan Continent now, only her husband could suppress Ferrola's power.
"This damn war!" said Erinphier's deep voice, as if to utter some kind of curse.
"I am here to end the war as soon as possible, so that the people of the empire and the lives of the continent of Alan can enjoy peace. Pedi gave up talking to the three elven generals, and looked at his wife without the harshness and indifference in his eyes.
"Is this your decision?" Thranduil looked at the Human Emperor with a serious gaze.
"You don't have to act so serious, I'm not looking for Ferrola, I just need to hold on for three to five days, we have well-established fortifications and dozens of magical crystal towers, as well as the two elite outpost rangers you left behind. "Pedi is confident.
"My sister... And the mage army she leads will stay to help you, this is the most powerful force in our elven kingdom. Thranduil also decided, "The later attack will require more mobile troops, and the presence of the mage troops will become a burden to us, and... You'll need their help when retreating. ”
