When she heard the explosive news, all the uneasiness in Andesa's heart and the vague speculations that had emerged before instantly condensed into a rusty reality - everything was explained.
Crazy, everything is crazy, with the Church of God of War as the center, all the branches connected to it are infected with madness!
"When did the Knights of the Iron River leave?" She immediately looked at the mage who came to report the news, and spoke quickly, "Why didn't you notice it immediately?!"
As the highest-ranking commander in the border area, an Imperial Knights Order suddenly broke out of control and acted without permission under her nose. This was unacceptable to Andersa - even though the Iron River Knights were not directly under her command, but directly under her control. The "Special Legion" loyal to the royal family, but now she is the person in charge of the defense line of Winter Wolf Castle!
"Not sure, I've been gone for at least an hour..." The mage looked extremely embarrassed, "Count Moglock cut off the magic transmissions around the station, and some soldiers operating near the Iron River Knights station were also arrested. Trapped by some kind of magical illusion prepared in advance, if it weren't for a small number of seemingly abandoned soldiers in the Knights' station who ran to the nearest outpost on foot to warn, I'm afraid the news wouldn't have spread yet..."
"This It was a premeditated and crazy move..." Andesa felt a chill in her heart, and at the same time, her thoughts were running like lightning. Then she suddenly looked at her adjutant, "The Knights of the Winter Wolf immediately gathered outside the west gate to fight the lion. The mage unit of the Eagle Regiment is on standby. A message is sent to Aldernan, the highest emergency level. The content is that the Iron River Knights are out of control and have gone to attack the Cecil Defense Line. There is a high risk of war. The entire Winter Wolf Castle has entered level one. War preparation, all troops are on standby - inform the Earl of Winterburg to have the Black Flag Magician Group move towards the defense line of Winterwolf Castle."
The adjutant listened to the order wordlessly and immediately responded with a military salute. Take the order: "Yes, General!!"
Over the towering magic communication tower of Winter Wolf Castle, a huge floating ring made of crystal and magic-guided metal began to rotate slowly, powerful magic power Surging above this tower, urgent communications are sent to distant places through amplification arrays and loop antennas. Aldernan will soon receive intelligence of the great changes on the border, and before that, the entire northwestern defense line of the empire will Enter the fighting state first, so as to be ready to face... an unexpected war at any time.
On the plains west of Winter Wolf Castle, an elite force with extremely strong mobility and combat effectiveness has been assembled.
Wearing armor and holding a long sword in hand, Andesa looked back at the towering walls of Winter Wolf Castle - this fortress stood quietly in the dim light of the early morning, with the cold wind coming from the north. The wind was beating against its thick and mottled walls, and on the city wall, a large number of soldiers and battle mages were busy setting up defenses. The magic crystal had been activated, and the enchanted armor plates and shield amplification arrays shimmered in her sight. This is a scene of imminent war.
Andesa once imagined what Winter Wolf Castle would look like after the war broke out, but she neverNever imagined it would happen in this way.
The sound of flapping wings sounded from high in the sky, and a large number of fighting griffins flew from the south of the city and began to circle and dance over the knights. City gates opened on both sides, and one after another black-painted demons The guide cars filed out and quickly headed towards the dark plain ahead.
Those magic vehicles ride on battle mages - the powerful offensive capabilities of mages and the high mobility and high protection brought by the magic vehicles can complement each other. At the same time, the powerful magic vehicles can complement each other. Crystals and magic circles for increasing mana can also be placed inside, and these were originally things that could only be used in fixed positions such as city walls and bunkers. Now the emergence of new technologies makes it possible for these things to move with the army, and all of this , all of which have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of traditional mage troops.
After the battle mage troops have high-speed mobility and stronger protective capabilities, the Typhon army also has more new tactics, such as using a mechanized mage unit as the vanguard to conduct rapid reconnaissance and positioning Destruction, while the Knights, who originally served as the vanguard on the traditional battlefield, followed the mages, using longer charging times and a more stable charging environment to launch more destructive "heat cones" - these were so bold that Tactics that completely violate tradition and even common sense have been proven to have surprising effects in several simulation exercises.
Andesa shook her head, getting rid of all the distracting thoughts in her mind, then raised her sword and pointed forward.
The whole army moves forward.
The cold wind in the early morning of winter began to whistle. Even though the high-ranking knight was not afraid of the cold, Andesa seemed to feel that the winter chill was soaking into her body bit by bit. She thought about herself The arrangements made in the state of emergency and the plans for several situations were constantly looking for fatal loopholes or things that could not be considered. At the same time, she was also thinking about how many possibilities there were to save the current situation.
It is a fact that the Knights of the Iron River are going to start a war, and if that powerful legion really succeeds in crossing the line and attacking the Cecil people's fortress, then Their goal will definitely be achieved - Andersa knows the power of the Iron River Knights very well, even if they go deep alone, even if they have to face the Cecil people's magical cannons and steel walls, Mogrok and his The knights are still guaranteed to cause huge damage to the Cecil defense line, and what happens after the damage?
The Cecil people will react quickly, and no matter how powerful the Iron River Knights are, they can't be the opponent of the entire Changfeng defense system - it is likely that they only need one called the Iron River Knights. As a battle fortress for the "Iron Throne", the isolated Knights can be completely destroyed.
Many people will die on both sides, and the current peace situation between the two empires is too short-lived to cultivate a stable "friendly relationship." There are still hawks in each country. With great influence, they will not miss this opportunity.
Now, the only chance to stop this isThe meeting is to stop the Iron River Knights who have lost control. It doesn't matter even if they have crossed the military demarcation line or even reached the foot of the Cecil people's city wall. As long as there is no formal exchange of fire between the two sides, the matter is still on the negotiation table—— The only key is how to stop Earl Moglock and his knights.
Andesa actually still can’t believe that the knight leader who talked to her cordially during the day has fallen into out-of-control madness like the Ares priests. However, at this moment, she must do something to abandon herself personally. Emotional judgment: If I really catch up with the Iron River Knights, then... it may be unrealistic to use words to stop them.
Crazy people are the hardest to stop - because they no longer know the cost.
So instead of sending a fast team of messengers, she personally brought an entire elite knights.
Andesa clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand tightly. In the cold winter wind, her eyes fell in the direction of the Kamanda intersection, which was gradually illuminated by the glow of dawn.
She showed an inexplicable wry smile - the last time she marched in this direction was to start a war.
......
The huge magic power coming from the direction of the eastern plains instantly triggered the alarm of the border detection system, and the piercing ringing sounded through the border camp No. 22 in the early morning. The defense node between Paramel Highlands and Changfeng Fortress woke up in an instant, and the commanders and soldiers stationed in the camp were even a little confused about what was about to happen.
"Extremely large-scale magic fluctuations detected!" The soldier in charge of the monitoring system shouted loudly. He stared at the data returned by the magic monitoring device with his eyes wide open, "Coming from the southeast... ...is approaching rapidly!”
An observer quickly left the control room and rushed to a high platform near the wall. In the gradually brightening sky at dawn, he turned on the composite filter of the observation device. Mirror, put your eyes close to the artificial crystal polished lenses.
A twisted, hot, and large-scale energy cloud has taken shape in the distance, and is "flying" close to the ground towards the camp. Under the energy cloud, there is You can see the faintly flashing large shield and the flag gun that has just exposed its tip - the black flag with red stripes is undulating on the edge of the horizon, like a strange fish jumping on the water.
"Thermal cone sighted!" the observer shouted, "The cone has taken shape!
"Enemy markings observed...Typhons! It’s the Knights of the Iron River of Typhon! ! "
The commander stationed in the camp had only stunned expressions after hearing this information.
The Typhons? A sudden attack? At this time?
Then Are all the Tiphons crazy? Is there any logic behind this matter?
A subordinate shouted from the side: "Sir! Please order! "
The commander quickly raised his head and glanced into the distance, and then ordered without hesitation: "Overload protection.Shield - No. 1 to 4 turrets are charged and aimed, everyone goes up the wall, and the enemy enters the fire identification zone and shoots directly. You, go inform Changfeng Fortress that the Typhons have started a war! ! "
"Yes! Sir! ”
The soldiers acted quickly, and the commander of the camp clenched his fists. When he looked to the southeast again, the veteran who had experienced the battle of Rock Fortress and the Holy Spirit Plains Disaster had a look on his face. There is only a resolute look.
The thermal energy cone has been formed, and the Typhon knights have begun to charge. It is impossible to do any more communication, confirmation and reporting work at this time. There is no time at all - since the enemy has chosen In order to fight an undeclared war, it is the responsibility of him and the soldiers to guard this camp.
There is something strange behind this incident. The commander has indeed noticed this. The actions of the Typhonians are completely inconsistent. Logically, it is completely stupid to let an ace knights attack the defense line suicidally without the cooperation of mages. Even if the ace knights can tear open the camp, what can they do next? Penetrate the entire Changfeng defense line?
However, at this moment, no one can explain this strangeness - the enemy has arrived.
The surging energy surges between the crystal and the metal. Moving, the fixed magic cannon adjusted its angle through the precise rotation of gears and bearings. The muzzle was raised high, pointing at the charging knights in the distance. After a very short delay, the cannonball accelerated and burst out of the rails. There was a sudden explosion, and the light cyan light stream completely tore apart the last darkness of this winter dawn.
The magic crystal cannonballs wrapped in the light cyan air mass roared in the air, streaking across a long path. Arc, and in the direction of the falling cannonball, the knights were charging on the plain, and the surging magic power filled the ranks, making the entire array present a strange state of reality and illusion - the whistling sound from the air did not hide this. The ears of the extraordinary troops, but during the entire charge, no knight was distracted to look up.
The shells just fell into the attack array of the Iron River Knights, and then it was deafening. The explosion exploded on the plain.
Boom, boom, boom!
The huge explosion cloud was lifted up by the shock wave, and the surface of the shield above the Knights suddenly surged. Dense ripples appeared, and the surface of the shield in some areas began to be stained with white noise that looked like interference patterns. After all, a shield propped up by manpower cannot be compared with the shield of a castle fortress, even if it can withstand "Sky Fire" for a short time. "The power obviously cannot last long.
And how many "sky fires" do the Cecil people have?
After just ten seconds, they flew from high altitude again. The answer was given by the approaching sharp whistling sound.
One after another explosions began to sound. As the distance shortened, the small artillery in the camp also began to fire, and large and small shock waves and explosion clouds were scattered across the Knights. The joint shield was raging in turn, and the shield, which relied on the joint support of a large number of extraordinary people, finally began to show gaps and limits.Overload phenomenon - On the edge of the battle formation, knights began to fall off their horses one after another due to magic backlash or shock injuries.
But they still charged forward silently, as if they were completely unaware of the pain that was happening to their bodies.
The heat energy cone began to fall, and gradually synchronized with the formation of the knights. The camp commander watched this scene happen, and he understood that this first wave of impact would definitely not be stopped.
"Get ready for the impact——"
The next second, the camp's shield collided violently with the massive restraining plasma.
A tooth-wrenching scream filled the inside of the shield. Dense and bright sparks burst out from the shield generators and magic capacitors all over the wall, creating large swaths of white noise. Appearing in front of the camp shield, in the eyes of the camp commander, the Typhon knights had already begun to change their queues before the thermal energy cone arrived. While allowing the high-energy cloud to hit the shield on its own, they scattered into ten The remaining waves of echelons began to besiege various shield nodes.
Cecil soldiers on the city wall began to fight back with ray guns, lightning generators and various individual weapons, but the camp commander knew that this place could not be defended.
Just as the energy barrier put up by the Typhon Knights is no match for the castle shield, this mere border camp... is not Changfeng Fortress after all.
The buzzing sound before the shield disintegrated reached my ears.
"How long until the Iron Throne arrives?"
"Sir, the Mortal Python has arrived from Border Station 17!"
"Everyone ——Light up the blade!" The commander gritted his teeth and reached out to pull out the melting sword from his waist, "For our country!"
