Chapter 978: slide

Name:Sword of Daybreaker Author:Yuan Tong
Tifeng declared war.

Maryland stood in the tallest tower room of the Changfeng Fortress. His eyes looked at the direction of the Tifeng Empire through the crystal glass windows. His face was tight, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

The orders from the imperial capital and the declaration of war on Tifeng were placed on his hands.

A huge vortex has been formed, and it is no longer meaningful to stir the vortex whether it is the main battle group of the gods or Tifeng. The important thing is that when a huge vortex starts to exert its power, all of them are in it. People don’t seem to have much choice-maybe it’s really the crazy and out of control belief in God of War, but it’s no different for Cecil’s soldiers, the enemies ordered by the emperor and the enemies ordered by the gods All are enemies, and the enemies are in the direction of Winterwolf.

Intelligence shows that the Winterwolf defense line has been undergoing large-scale military mobilization since last night. The large-scale main force is gathering. Even the Black Flag Combat Mage regiment of Winterburg is moving to the border, and there are also internal sources from Tifeng. The wire newspaper showed that there may be several reserve corps that have also received orders from Aldnan. Although this last piece of information is vague, it is enough to prove the war intentions of the Tifeng people.

Now Cecil's advantage is the speed of military operations.

Maryland bowed his head. On the table in front of him, the tactical map of the Changfeng-Winter Wolf area was spread out. The Contracting Fort was particularly prominently located in the buffer zone in the center of the area. A blue flag with a Cecil mark is being inserted on the map.

...

On the open ground next to the Treaty, a mechanized force composed of hundreds of various tanks, multi-function infantry fighting vehicles and troop transporters is standing in the cold wind, and Cecil’s blue gold flag flutters high in the winter sky. China, the fortress that was originally stationed by the two countries has now completely fallen into the hands of Cecil, and the few Tiffins in the fortress made prisoners of war with little resistance-now their flags have been thrown on the ground , And themselves... probably haven't figured out what happened.

In an armored command vehicle, Philip exhaled slightly, his expression gradually becoming cold and solemn.

A staff member entered the command vehicle, wrapped in cold air from outside. He quickly walked to Philip and asked in a low voice, "General, what's next..."

"Lightning raid on Winter Wolf Fort before dusk-heavy artillery attack, cluster advancement, no need to be stingy with ammunition, our task is to destroy the Tifen people's main troops before they are mobilized and assembled-as for specific actions, Just follow the second plan that was finalized before."

"Yes, General!"

In the cold wind, the surging power of the magic energy engine was released one by one, the bearings were rotated, the connecting rods were operated, the crawler tracks crushed the hard and barren ground, and the chariots screamed deep and began to move towards the defense line. Moving in the direction.

...

The Cecil came.

Several magical flames rose in the hilly area to the northwest. Within a few minutes, flashes of flames and explosions rose from that direction. After a short delay, the faint walls of Winterwolf could be heard faintly. The roar of Joyo came from afar, and the low, roaring roar made the soldiers a little nervous, and made Andes's face darker.

After the young wolf general left the window and returned to the long table with large tactical maps, she looked at a senior officer in the castle: "Our mobile unit on the small triangular **** engaged the Cecil ."

The officer was looking away from the tactical map. He looked at Andesa’s eyes, his face very serious: “It’s not close from the Fort to the small triangle, and the high-speed marching knights also took two hours to arrive. -The speed of the Cecilians is faster than we thought."

"They mainly use chariots as a means of movement-all kinds of chariots," Andesa looked at his men. "It is both a vehicle, a weapon, and a strong fortress."

"According to available information, unless the cavalry forces accumulate in advance and use the power of the combined shield and heat cone to destroy the Cecil's "steel propulsion tactics" at one time, otherwise the conventional forces are facing the tanks When you are fighting, you will fall into a great disadvantage-on the other hand, the mechanized combat mage unit can confront those vehicles, through flexible tactics and long-range attacks, but it is only confrontation, there is no obvious advantage, we need... …"

At this moment, a sudden rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and the voice of heraldsmen rang, interrupting the officer’s statement: "General! The Earl of Winterhold and the Black Flag Wizards arrived! The earl is now outside."

Andes immediately looked up: "Let Count Winterhold come in!"

With a steady and powerful footstep, Earl Palin Winterburg, wearing a dark blue starry robe, a jewel scepter at his waist, and a black magic book, stepped into the room. After seeing this familiar elder, Andersa clearly showed a sigh of relief, and she stood up to meet: "Count Count Winterburgh-we have been waiting for you."

"Hopefully I haven't missed anything yet," the Earl of Winterhold nodded. "I heard that the Cecilians have started to attack."

"Yes, the offensive has already begun, and I am afraid that it will not take long to reach the Winterwolf defense line," Andes said frankly. "Now our mobile forces set up on the small triangle **** have contacted them."

Palin Dongbao yelled and asked again: "In addition to the Black Flag, which other troops are in place?"

"The Seventeenth and Twenty-Two Regiments of the National Knights from Brown Valley have arrived at Winterwolf before noon, and then your Black Flag Magician Regiment-the remaining troops are still on the road. We will arrive at this time tomorrow."

"Then the Cecilians will certainly strive to storm Winterwolf before this evening in order to disintegrate this line of defense in advance," Palin Winterburg said immediately. "Winterwolf is the only gateway to the empire in the northwest, Cecil. The Er people wouldn’t want to see it turn into a hard stone..."

Several officers in the room couldn't help but whispered a few words, but the whole room soon fell back to silence.

Attacking and destroying a strong fortress with shields and enchanted walls in a day and night, this is almost unthinkable in the old war order, but the people sitting here are not ignorant rural villagers, they each Everyone has studied all kinds of information from Cecil, so they are very clear-Cecil not only did this, but also succeeded more than once.

A series of plan deductions flashed quickly in Andersa's mind, and he couldn't help frowning and sighing: "It's all beyond expectations, our preparation is not enough..."

"It's not just beyond our expectations-I believe it is the same for the Cecil," Palin Dongbao said lightly. "This is a war where no one is ready, everyone stands in the same At the starting line, after the vortex is formed, everyone will fall into it irresistibly, so we can be cautious and serious, but we should not be so pessimistic."

Andersa exhaled and nodded: "That's true. The Cecil menacing, but..."

Just halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped as if she noticed something. The officers in the room looked at each other for a while, but they all looked at each other, but soon someone responded. They kept everyone quiet. In silence, Andesa and her adjutant held their breath together and listened carefully to the sound from outside.

The dense explosion in the direction of the small triangle **** is rapidly becoming thinner.

"Less than half an hour," the adjutant's side looked somber, "faster than we expected..."

An officer could not help whispering: "If there is the Iron River Knights and the Priest Corps, high-level war blessings, combined with the strategic magic of the Battle Masters, we can suppress the enemy's offensive in the northwest..."

Andersa glanced at the officer, and then withdrew his eyes: "We no longer have the Iron River Knights, nor the Priest Corps-only the main force and the three support troops of the Winter Wolf Knights, and this fortress. Lady Ladies and gentlemen, on this basis, think about how to deal with those Cecilians. This is to face reality."

Andersa still maintains a severe expression and a decisive tone, as if not shaken at all, but as an elder familiar with it, Palin Dongbao can feel the deep depression and regret of this young wolf general .

But he couldn't think of relief, and he knew that most of the people here might be in a similar mood. Even he himself was not optimistic at this moment.

And this repression did not come from those Cecilians, nor from fear of fighting-the soldiers of the empire never feared war, and what really shaken them was Tifeng's overcast future.

The mutated Church of God of War, the out-of-control ace knights, the pollution that is hidden around you and will suddenly burst out sometime, everyone should try not to discuss it in this place, but everyone knows that they are really Pressed in front of everyone, even a large number of officers will have a more terrible worry after being exposed to deeper intelligence-

Under the influence of spiritual pollution, the Tiehe Knights are out of control, and they are believers of the God of War... Then as a believer of the God of War or more or less yourself who has been in contact with the faith of the God of War, will you suddenly fall into madness? Even...Is it true that the things I am thinking about and the tactics I am arranging are out of my free will?

The soldiers of the empire are also humans-these terrible pressures are shaking everyone's morale anyway.

"We set up a large arcane stress field on the west side of the line of defense," After a brief silence, Andesa suddenly broke his silence, "This is aimed at the various characteristics of the magic engine and the magic net substrate. Sexual traps, they should be able to play a considerable role-if the enemy’s advancement is successfully deterred, the strategic spell strikes of the Black Flag Magician Group will surely play a greater role."

Palin Dongbao raised his eyebrows: "Arcane stress field? That's the research result of the Royal Mage Association... Have you put them into practical use?"

"It's barely usable," Andes nodded. "It's mainly because the layout time is not enough, but it can still play a certain effect..."

After letting Count Palin Winterburg go to rest for a while, Andersa took a long breath. She was a little lighter than before, but only a little bit.

"Are we still unable to establish contact with the Cecil?" She suddenly turned her head and looked at the adjutant who had followed her for years.

"All attempts failed," the adjutant immediately straightened his body and replied abruptly. "We tried to use the communication device to call the alternate line of Changfeng Fortress. The other party did not respond. We also sent three waves of messengers, but no one came back alive. ——It seems that the Cecilians have been completely irritated, and they probably won’t negotiate with us until they win.

"Damn..." Andesa gritted her teeth. "Aren't their brains confused..."

The lieutenant glanced at his chief with some concern. After a moment of hesitation, the young man who had followed Andersa for many years still couldn't help but say: "General, do you still think this war can stop? Both of us Substantial use of force has been made... The subordinate speaks bluntly, I think it is useless to try to contact those Cecil people at this time and try to explain the misunderstanding..."

"But the fact is that this shouldn't have happened!" Andes stared at his adjutant, trying to keep his tone calm. "This war is harmful to the empire and harmful to everyone, only those who are polluted The madman can get some false satisfaction from it-listen, and contact again, this is the order."

The adjutant stared at Andersa, and after two seconds he bowed his head and accepted the order: "Yes, General, I will go to the communication tower again."

The adjutant left, and Andes stayed here, with an increasingly heavy heart, facing the disaster that gradually rolled over.

Over time, more and more intelligence began to gather in front of her.

That was intelligence gathered by the scouts in the field and the Griffon troops in the sky-and in a piece of information, the Cecil’s "steel propulsion tactics" were finally presented in the city of Winter Wolf. In the eyes of the guards, about the performance of those tanks, about the Cecilian fighting style, about the comparison of the combat capabilities and tactics of the two sides...

With the arrival of intelligence, there is also the steel army that is constantly advancing.

Before the sun went down, the last post on the western border of Winterwolf saw the Cecilian army-the steel-made chariot came from the direction of the plain. During the roar of artillery, the chariot's tracks were easily torn. The defense of the outpost, and the soldiers who had evacuated before that time brought news that the Wolfwolf would enter the enemy's range within ten minutes.

This is the final information.

At the same time, the lieutenant also brought the last bad news-the direction of the Changfeng Fortress still did not respond to the contact of Winter Wolf.

Andesa is standing on the towering and solid city wall. The energy shield above the fortress is gradually increasing the level of recharge. The enchanted city wall under her feet also resonates with the magic power. Some stone bricks occasionally send a slight tremor, but these constant The climbing protection level did not allow her to settle down.

Many things can only be understood after being faced with reality. No amount of advancement can be more profound than reality-Anderssa clearly sees the shortcomings of the Tifeng army.

Cecil’s magical technology has changed this era, and changes in the era mean that everything must change with it-this includes both the human lifestyle and everything on the battlefield.

The Tiffins were one step slower, and this slow step manifested itself on the battlefield, because there were not enough units in the Tiffins' army that could be "equivalent" to the new weapons of the Cecil.

In the face of the steel tank called the "tank", the Empire’s Iron River Knights have been absent, and the Priest Corps is no longer usable. Only the combat mages who have recently completed the upgrade training can use the magic car to fight one. However, the latter has a number of serious shortcomings, and in this new battlefield, they are far less experienced than the Cecil army who has experienced civil war and catastrophe.

After some comparison, Andesa finally found out that when Cecil's chariot drove on the battlefield, she couldn't find many soldiers who could step out of Winterwolf and fight against the enemy on the frontal battlefield!

From the contracting fort to the winter wolf fort, several successive mobile units along the way have fully proved this point.

In fact, even if the Iron River Knights and the Clergy are not absent, this "no soldiers available" dilemma will not actually improve much. The reason is very simple: the Iron River Knights and the clergy are all the elite of Tien Fung Elite, All are precious trump cards that are difficult to train, but the Cecilian army...all are mass-produced machines and ordinary people who train fast!

Before today, Andesha had seen information about the training speed of Cecil’s army and the advantages and disadvantages of magic weapons from various intelligences. She had also thought that this is an easy mass production, easy training, rapid prototyping, The fast-growing new army, she also made many suggestions to the imperial capital in this regard, and thought of many ways to improve the existing army of the empire, but now she realized that her imagination... after all, she was poor. .

On the far west side of the battlefield, there was faint smoke and magical light shining, and it seemed to be real and illusory in the sinking giant sunlight.

Today, Andesa finally realized what he had missed on Paramel Heights on that rainy night.
