A strange, sharp whistling sound came faintly, and after a moment's delay, Wales heard a thunderous roar on the plains to the south.
This is a sound that has never appeared in previous battles. It is a movement that those crystal cluster giants have never made.
He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the loud noise, but could only vaguely see a huge cloud of smoke rising into the sky. Near the area where the smoke and dust rose, an army of crystal clusters seemed to be into chaos.
It is said that the magic weapons created by the Cecil people can launch attacks more than ten kilometers away, projecting powerful explosive devices to accurate locations. Before the "sky fire" comes, the sharp The whistling sound is its most distinctive feature.
Reinforcements are entering the battlefield - but they are still far away.
All the holy light barriers have been shattered, and the light particles escaping in the air are fluttering on the city wall. With the light particles falling, the arc from the crystal cluster army begins to sweep away all protection. On the city wall, the knights with broken armor stepped forward holding huge shields to fill the gaps in the city wall, while the bloody soldiers controlled all the trebuchets - regardless of whether there was magic to help - and began to carry out the final battle. Fight back.
The brilliance of the huge sun penetrated the clouds and shed a brilliant brilliance. The morning glow pouring down from the clouds coated the ancient capital with a layer of golden light, and everything was stained with blood. The flags, cracked armor, spears flashing with cold light, huge trebuchets and ballistae, as well as the frenzy of crystal clusters surrounding the royal capital, all glowed with light in the sunshine.
"Our reinforcements have begun to attack!!" On the city wall, a bloody knight raised Anzu's royal flag high, waving it vigorously while shouting, "Hold on until the end. ..."
A sharp crystal spike flew from the edge of the city wall and penetrated the knight's chest. On the wall, a ferocious and swollen monster continued to climb up.
The Welsh sword passed by, and the invisible shock wave cut off the monster's body. He took the falling king's flag and raised it high: "Stick to the defense line!!"
"Hold the defense line!!"
"Hold the defense line!!"
More and more roars came from the distance, and more impacts began to emerge from the end of the plain in the south Clouds, but the battlefield of this siege is so vast, and the endless crystal cluster monsters almost cover the entire Saint-Sunil Plain area, so that even if reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, it may take several hours to advance near the city wall. The irrational Crystal Cluster Army will certainly not stop attacking during this process.
Gawain and Byron also knew this.
The armored griffon flew across the sky, bringing the latest intelligence on the capital's defense line. On the bridge of the Pioneer - which was also the command center of this battle, Byron was analyzing the frontline. Situation: "...The great shield of Saint Sunil has collapsed, and the holy light barrier observed by Sonia has also collapsed. Now they are inRely on enchanted walls, knights, and soldiers to maintain defense. The area with the highest concentration of enemies is near the east wall fortress of the royal capital, but it is outside the coverage of the Pioneer's main gun. "
Gao Wen looked at the combat map in front of him, but the satellite's overhead image emerged in his mind: "Bomb an attack route from the south of Saint-Sunil to the Gorgon River. The troops entered from here, and then built an artillery position in the south of the east wall fortress. The firepower cooperation of the fleet and ground forces could separate the monsters. As long as they could withstand their counterattack, the battlefield would be controlled. "
"But the counterattack of those monsters may be very violent... After all, they have lost even the most basic concept of "stop loss" and will not stop until they are dead. "
"This is exactly our purpose - to reduce the number of crystal clusters near Saint-Sunil in the shortest possible time. As long as their numerical advantage in the region is lost, they will The threat to the royal capital will be reduced quickly - the city wall of Saint-Sunil is capable of self-healing. As long as the damage it sustains is lower than its repair speed, it will be safe," Gawain said unhurriedly, "And As for whether the ground forces can withstand the pressure before then... You should believe in the power of the armored group. When the firepower advantage is sufficient, the numbers will be meaningless - and I will personally command the ground forces, so don't worry. "
"...I understand, I will ensure the fire support here to ensure that you have a smooth journey. "
Ten minutes later, Gawain left the bridge and prepared to go ashore.
He walked towards the side of the Pioneer, and Amber's figure emerged beside him: "Hey, Hey, you really led the charge -"
Gawain didn't even look back: "What, is there a problem? "
"Don't forget how you died in your last life. Today's scene is so similar to the situation described in the story on the day you died in battle. Don't you have a psychological shadow?" Amber continued BB said, "Or is it false that you claimed to have a psychological shadow about this matter before..."
Gawain finally looked back at Amber and said casually: "Then the main purpose of following you here Are you going to perform it again after I die and dig a grave on the spot? "
"...That's not true, I am still your bodyguard in name only..."
"Then stop talking nonsense and follow quietly - this kind of The battlefield is in great need of scouts like you who are keen and good at saving lives. "
"Oh - then you must not die. If you die, I will go back and explain it to Hedy Rebecca and the others..."
"Shut up. ”
When the steel tracks began to crush the earth and the chariot troops drove towards the battlefield accompanied by mechanical tremors, Gawain’s mood had completely calmed down.
Amber was not by his side. But he could sense that the half-elf's aura was wandering within a hundred meters nearby - she was traveling in the gap between the real world and the Shadow Realm, observing the nearby environment and whether there were any crystals in the Shadow Realm. The energy left behind after the activities of the cluster giantsReverberation to confirm possible enemy movements.
In the sky, armored griffins and giant eagle knights are scouting the entire battlefield, guiding the ground troops forward while providing fire guidance for the fleet on the Gorgon River.
On the Gorgon River, the battleships headed by the Pioneer are fine-tuning their main guns and are about to launch the next round of fire support.
Gao Wen, who was sitting in the command vehicle, exhaled slightly.
Amber said one thing wrong - seven hundred years ago, when his body died in battle, how could the situation be the same as it is today.
......
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the ground troops advanced to a high ground southeast of Saint-Sunil as planned. Facing the superior firepower of the tank cluster, the Crystal Corps The advantage established by relying on huge numbers disappeared just as Gawain said - the cluster monsters launched a continuous counterattack driven by instinct, but in the end they were all buried in the charred battlefield by overwhelming cannonballs and burning flames. , and a long-range artillery position was quickly established and began to suppress the area southeast of Saint-Sunil.
With the artillery support extending from the Gorgon River, coupled with the highland firepower established by the ground troops, Cecil's Legion sliced diagonally into the battlefield like a blazing saber, tearing apart the crystal. The army's position began to bleed this out-of-control monster of destruction.
Wales noticed subtle changes on the battlefield.
Sooner than he expected, the Crystal Cluster Legion's attack on the Royal Capital weakened.
The fighting soldiers may not have time to take into account the overall changes in the battlefield, and the knights with limited abilities can only focus on the city wall they are responsible for. However, Wales, who is always paying attention to all the conditions of the entire defense line, did not miss this situation. Minor changes - the density of attacks from the Crystal Cluster Legion is decreasing, and the enchanted walls in some areas of the southern city wall no longer continue to disintegrate, and have even entered a state of stalemate between repair and damage.
The number of those monsters is decreasing, and the focus of their attacks is gradually shifting.
Welsh turned his sights to the southern plains, but he still couldn't see the specific location of Cecil's Corps - all he could see was the continuous smoke and explosion flashes, and the distance between those explosion flashes The city wall was not too far away, but the attackers were still invisible.
The only thing that is certain is that the power of those explosions is truly astonishing. It is no exaggeration to say that landslides and landslides are devastating.
In this way, the Cecil people used their powerful long-range power to complete the cutting of the battlefield. Judging from the signs of battle in the distance, they must have made very bold moves in the process of executing this cutting. and advance.
The reinforcements are indeed still far away, but their power has transcended the barriers of space and been projected to the defense line of the royal capital.
In the sky, the Cecil armored griffins and giant eagles passed over the battlefield for the third time, and the actions of those flying units were obviously closely related to the battle on the ground.
Wales had a lot of thoughts aboutInformation about the Southern Territory - about the magic weapons they used, about the weapons purchased by the king in the Southern Territory, and about some details of the Southern Territory Unification War.
There are many things that cannot be seen from the intelligence. Only by personal contact-even from a distance can we realize the truth behind the intelligence.
Welsh has been thinking about everything about the Southern Territory for a long time, but the intelligence involving the military field has always been full of mysteries. He did his best and used his talent in intelligence analysis to outline that force. Part of the face of the legion, but the final summary was never completed due to the lack of key information. At this moment, after seeing something with his own eyes, the fog in his mind suddenly became clear.
“...it seems that this is their way of fighting...advantageous long-range weapons, intensive attack, rapid transfer, long-distance penetration...and this also requires the cooperation of the large army and the high-speed transmission of information. ...It shouldn't be the communication technique. The requirements for communication technique are too high... Is it the "magic network communication" mentioned by Grand Duke Victoria? In addition, they must have established a more efficient command system to control the large number of people distributed throughout the battlefield. What will the unit... look like?"
Welsh looked into the distance. He found that there were too many things that he couldn't understand. He couldn't understand how the Cecil people managed to maintain their strength. With such a large-scale remote communication, I can't imagine how their command system operates, how their logistics, equipment, and the quality of their soldiers are built. And after discovering that he has so many things that are difficult to even imagine, this An King Su Xin laughed instead.
The "factory reforms" carried out in the city of Saint-Sunil were ultimately just a poor imitation. The urban management plans piloted in the Western Region and the fiefdoms directly under the royal family have only scratched the surface. Last year, the reform activities were vigorously carried out for more than half a year. In the end, it all ended in vain. It was the flaws of the reformists themselves and the stubborn obstruction of the conservatives that jointly led to the miscarriage of all this. But in the end, a new era came.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's attack is weakening," the slightly tired voice of Duke Baldwin Franklin came from the side. The Duke of the West had bloodshot eyes, but his tone was still calm and powerful, " The Cecil people occupied the high ground south of the east wall fortress, and the attack of the cluster monsters was blocked."
Welsh nodded slightly: "Saint Sunil survived."
"Yes, the royal capital has survived." said the Duke of the West.
"I should be prepared to welcome Duke Cecil."
Badwin Franklin looked at Wales quietly, with no doubt in his bloodshot eyes. He seemed to have guessed some clues from the new king's many actions in these days, but in the end he said nothing more.
