The staff officer respectfully spread a map in front of Lester. Lester stroked his white beard and looked at the oval area above. He said with some embarrassment: "This range is still a bit big..."
Sir Lorraine helplessly spread his hands and said: "There is no way, the enemy is deep underground after all. If we can be directly above, we can still accurately locate the enemy's position."
Lester rolled his eyes at him. He knew clearly that this was impossible. There were monsters everywhere outside the fortress. And who knew how many lichs were hidden in the dark night?
If you take the risk to detect it, you will definitely be beaten by Roubaozi and will never come back.
"If you find it difficult, why don't I find a few more people?" Lorraine asked carefully.
Lester suddenly became furious and glared at Lorraine. He was very angry that Lorraine doubted his ability. He waved his hand and said, "No, just watch."
Lord Lorraine gave a bitter smile: This old man is a donkey. Talking nicely will never work. If necessary, you have to use some provocation.
Lester looked down at the map again, then raised his head and raised his staff and gestured toward the outside of the camp, roughly measuring the place to start.
Then he nodded, flew into the air lightly, and waved his staff facing south.
The four masters looked at each other, followed him closely, rose into the air, and watched the surroundings vigilantly. In addition, there were several cardinals on the ground who had gathered their holy skills and were ready to take action at any time.
.
When magicians cast spells, they are extremely vulnerable to sneak attacks from enemies. They do this to give Lester a chance and ensure his safety.
When Lester danced with the staff in his hand, Lord Lorraine on the ground suddenly felt a strong wind blowing.
Even if you are not a mage, you can still feel a powerful force slowly gathering above your head.
There was a faint sound of wind and thunder in the air, the sound was low, as powerful as the muffled thunder in the clouds, and shocking.
Lorraine raised his head, and a cyclone visible to the naked eye was rapidly rotating around Lester.
In the strong wind, the robes of the Forbidden Magician were fluttering, and his hair and beard were swaying in the wind. From a distance, he looked as majestic as a god descending to earth.
This was the first time Lorraine had seen the old man going full tilt.
Lester’s battle to become famous was the forbidden spell ‘Ice World’ cast in Maple Leaf Danlin.
Although the forbidden curse buried tens of thousands of Almohad's elite troops in one breath, that night, the old man was hidden in the clouds, and no one saw his furious posture.
Although no one has seen it, there are quite a few works of art depicting Lester casting forbidden spells in Maple Leaf Danlin. For example, there are reliefs on the walls of Maple Leaf Danlin and large oil paintings hanging in the Mage Academy. The Academy
Published illustrations for various designated extracurricular readings...etc.
Among the depictions in those pictures, Lester was all portrayed as majestic and imposing, like Zeus, the god in charge of thunder and lightning.
However, there is still a gap between the image in the oil painting and the real gesture. No matter how vivid the image is, it cannot depict the true momentum.
At this moment, Lester stood in the air, exuding a domineering aura that dominated the world.
This is a superpower who stands at the top of the magic world.
Not the stingy and face-saving old man he usually is.
There was a slight tremor from under my feet, like an earthquake, and the stones on the ground were rolling around.
After a few breaths, the tremors coming from the ground became stronger and stronger.
Lorraine could clearly feel that the tremors had turned into shaking from side to side, just like a real earthquake.
The prince couldn't help but cast a worried look at Lester in mid-air, and thought to himself: This old gentleman won't have too much fun and really cause an earthquake, right?
The shaking became more and more intense, and people on the ground had to hold on to things around them to stabilize themselves to prevent falling. Lord Lorraine was worried that if the shaking continued like this, his semi-underground warehouses would not be able to bear it first.
Not far away in the south, there was a crisp "click" sound, which sounded like the iceberg breaking sound that Lord Lorraine once heard.
Through the pale light of the flare, Lorraine could vaguely see that a long and narrow crack suddenly appeared on the ground outside the camp.
The black crack was like a cracked mouth in the earth, twisting and extending outward, extending from the front of the fortress wall into the dark distance until it disappeared.
Around the crack, a large group of monsters were scurrying backwards, obviously smelling danger.
Then, as if there was a giant pulling hard there, the crack slowly widened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the edge of the crack, countless rocks swayed and fell. Streams of gray smoke erupted from the crack, like an erupting volcano.
Immediately, countless death knell beetles were seen crawling out of the cracks and fleeing backwards quickly.
When the width of the crack reached almost one meter, the ground on both sides of the crack suddenly lifted up, rising half a meter in an instant, making a loud "click" sound, and then crashed back with a low roar.
Lorraine could feel the ground jump suddenly, and gray dust was flying in the sky, like a tide several meters high, completely blocking the view to the south of the fortress.
When the dust slowly dispersed, a long and large pit suddenly appeared on the spot, two meters wide and more than one meter deep, like a river ditch. On both sides of the ditch, there were rugged rocks and jagged canine teeth, which was daunting.
Everyone in the fortress couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise.
I had only heard about the power of the Forbidden Curse Magister before, but I never thought that he was so powerful. Just waving his hand, the earth shook and the mountains and rivers changed color. It was really amazing.
At this time, the wind surrounding the fortress slowly stopped, Lester's robe fluttered, and he slowly fell to the ground from the air - although he still had powerful magic and could continue to use it, after all, the enemy's situation was unknown, and no one knew.
How many high-level lichs were watching him eagerly in the dark.
Therefore, he must leave enough remaining strength to launch a decisive battle with a powerful enemy in the near future.
He landed on the ground, then brushed his clothes in a leisurely manner, and said lightly: "Okay, it's done."
Sir Lorraine immediately gave a thumbs up, gestured to Lester, and said: "Well done. As expected of a super forbidden spell magician, once he makes a move, it is really extraordinary, extraordinary~!"
Lester was immediately delighted, then he touched his beard humbly, smiled, waved his hand and said: "It's a small matter, it's a small matter..."
Although he said it lightly, through the lights in the camp, Lorraine could clearly see that the old man's old face was slightly red. He didn't know whether it was because he was embarrassed to be flattered by him, or because he spent too much time in the spell just now.
How much effort?
After Lester cast the spell, the monster group was frightened and hid further.
Therefore, although the entire barracks was on alert, the whole night passed peacefully.
As a result, Sir Luo was also very surprised: Why didn't the monster attack at night? The firepower of the defensive troops would be reduced at night.
But then again, it's always a good thing if the enemy doesn't move.
Lord Lorraine arranged the supply and defense of the fortress, then wrapped himself in a cloak and lay haphazardly on the marching platform for a sleep. It seemed that not long after, he was awakened by a rumble of artillery fire——
The enemy launched another attack.
And the offensive is even more fierce than yesterday.
Surrounding the entire No. 2 Military Station, black swarms of insects rushed up from all directions, hitting the walls of the No. 2 Military Station one after another.
Apparently the commander hiding behind him couldn't stand it any longer.
The rhythm of the battle was the same as yesterday. First, the insect swarm rushed forward, followed by long-range fire from behind, bombarding the interior of the fortress.
The coalition's war fortress came to bomb, and the fighter jet group intercepted the enemy's flying insects.
For a while, it was very lively with you and me fighting each other.
The insects rushed up one after another, and the coalition forces met them with a crazy rain of bullets, and then killed them all one after another.
Large areas of insect corpses were ignited by the fire.
Flames soaring into the sky once again surrounded the entire fortress, and black smoke rose into the sky like giant dragons, twisting with the north wind, almost covering the entire sky.
Under the dim sky, there are fires rising into the sky, thick smoke billowing, insects charging madly like a tide, artillery shells crisscrossing across the sky, a huge fire net woven by machine guns, the fire of exploding artillery shells...
Looking from a distance, the whole scene looks like a killing battlefield in hell.
When Lorraine held up the telescope and patiently observed the battlefield, an old voice suddenly came from behind, saying: "Bugs are just bugs. A group of simple-minded guys can't come up with new tricks to make me happy."
Lorraine turned around and saw Lester walking over in high spirits. Although he had only rested for a few hours, the old man was recovering well.
After the old man displayed his might and power last night, the soldiers who witnessed it were immediately shocked and worshiped the old man like a god.
It turns out that everyone knows that this old mage is very powerful, but only now do they know what kind of powerful magic he is. No matter where he goes, Great Mage Lester will always be looked at with admiration and reverence, not like Lorraine and Leo.
There are two bastards, one big and one small, who always disrespect him.
This made the old man very satisfied.
However, Lorraine could not be happy and said: "Simple? Although this tactic is simple, it is effective because of its simplicity.
Do you think there are fewer enemies today than yesterday?"
Lester paused for a moment, then looked at the battlefield intently for a while, and then shook his head: the monsters surrounding the entire fortress were still a mass of darkness, with no end in sight.
Lorraine explained patiently: "The enemy has an absolute numerical advantage. We can hold them back for one day, two days, three days and five days. But if it takes one month, two months, or even half a year, do you think we can keep them at bay?"
?”
Lester imagined the scene of fighting in the fortress for two months in his mind, and his face suddenly darkened.
Although the human coalition has fully entered the age of firearms, the soldiers are all tensed up in such a high-intensity war and cannot sustain it for long.
Even if all the soldiers are not exhausted or driven crazy in the end, the coalition's ammunition supply will be insufficient, and the war fortress will use up their energy crystals.
In continuous high-intensity all-out battles, the production and transportation of ammunition and energy cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.
Although humans are extremely powerful, the insect's tactics are like a giant millstone, consuming all human soldiers and supplies bit by bit.
Lester frowned and found that he had overestimated things and said: "Since you know that you can't defeat the enemy, aren't you going to die by bringing everyone here?
For bugs, killing three million of them is no different than killing five million of them."
Lorraine shrugged slightly and said: "If you don't put it here, why don't you put it in the swordfish camp and wait for the monster to push us all into the sea and then take root in the wasteland?"
"Uh..." Lester thought for a moment and had to nod to acknowledge Lorraine's words.
"Moreover, defensive warfare is not just passive defense." Lord Lorraine paused and continued: "One of the principles in war is not to defend a lonely city.
No matter how many soldiers there are, how abundant the food is, or how well-prepared it is, an isolated city is just a cage and will be captured one day, as is the case in the Caribbean."
Lester stroked his beard thoughtfully, then nodded and said, "It seems you have a plan in mind."
Lord Lorraine showed a confident smile and said: "Wanting a war? It's troublesome. It's difficult to command hundreds of thousands of people and find opportunities to win on an ever-changing battlefield.
But it’s actually very simple to say it’s simple. It’s almost enough to stick to a few principles and not be timid or arrogant.”
xxxxxxx
Archduke Julius was watching the battlefield on the ground from the air. When he first saw the insects covering the entire land, he was frightened. He was worried about how it was possible to kill all the monsters with so many monsters.
But after seeing it too much, I became numb.
At this moment, the war fortress was flying slowly in the air, monitoring the battlefield on the ground.
Grand Duke Julius stroked his smoothly shaved chin and said, "Do you think this boy Lorraine can't stop him by himself?"
The staff officers behind the Grand Duke couldn't help but look at each other, muttering in their hearts and not knowing how to answer.
Everyone knows that Lord Lorraine can only be scolded by the Grand Duke himself. If anyone really takes the Grand Duke's scolding of Lorraine seriously and dares to speak ill of Lord Lorraine in front of the Grand Duke, that would be too mean.
The next day he had to be transferred to the death squads that attacked Samarkand.
To say that Lord Lorraine is unstoppable is not to underestimate Lord Lorraine, but to underestimate the eyes of Archduke Julius' most beloved daughter, Princess Catherine.
To say that Lord Lorraine can stop him is to underestimate the Archduke Julius himself.
At this moment, everyone deeply felt the sadness of being a younger brother. The saying "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger" probably refers to this kind of mood.
In the end, the Grand Duke's personal guards relieved everyone and said: "With Your Highness here, Your Majesty will definitely defeat the enemy."
Julius nodded with a 'yes', as if he was very satisfied with the answer, and said: "Send a report to the ground, and you can attack when you are ready."
In the wasteland south of the No. 2 Military Station, a large army was slowly moving towards the insect swarm surrounding the military station.
At the head of the flag is an iron-gray eagle.
This is the famous Eagle Division, the number one main force of the Security Army, who has been serving as a reserve force.
The Eagle Division became famous in the Battle of Fantino. With a division of more than 10,000 troops, they resisted the Semitic tribe of more than 100,000 people. In the process, they also eliminated the corpse demons released by the Lich.
Not only did they block the Semitic attack, but they also captured more than 30,000 Semitic troops trapped in the city of Fantino with one move.
In a head-on battle, the number of prisoners captured was twice as many as the number of soldiers participating in the battle, creating a legend in the history of war.
The Battle of Vantino was also a turning point in the defense war, and the Eagle Division shocked the mainland. It was awarded the honorable title of 'Defender of the Holy Land' by Pope Hilmeria, and the honor of being able to wear weapons in and out of Vatican. This seems like
It is inconspicuous, but its significance is extremely important. It is similar to the legendary "Sword and Shoes Going to the Temple". Only soldiers who have made great contributions to the Holy See can enjoy it.
Officers and soldiers of the Eagle Division can also add a cross symbolizing Fantino to their armbands.
Behind the brilliant achievements, what makes the world most stunned is that there are only 18,000 people in the Eagle Division~!
No one else could figure out how they could defeat 120,000 men with eighteen thousand men and capture tens of thousands alive.
The Eagle Master is also an important deterrent force in the hands of the Ruman Empire. Its effect is similar to that of an atomic bomb, making other countries quite afraid.
Not to mention there are many such troops, as long as there are ten divisions, the whole world combined cannot defeat the Rumans.
There are Semitic people in the Semitic Republic who have experienced the Battle of Fantino, and they still have lingering fears when talking about the battle in the city.
Whenever others ask about them, they always shake their heads and sigh, warning others that if they can't keep their clothes from getting wet in the rainstorm, they shouldn't challenge the Eagle Division. Their bullets are even denser than the rainstorm.
The world can see how powerful the Eagle Division is, but they cannot see how much effort Lord Lorraine and Chairman Leo have put in and how much gold they have spent on the Eagle Division and the Security Army Association.
The soldiers of the Eagle Division are the most rigorously selected, and they only select the sons of good families who have been Ruman people for generations. They are trained the hardest, have the most advanced equipment, their tactics are beyond an era, and their natural welfare is also the best.
Only they can perform dangerous peripheral containment tasks and can reassure Lord Lorraine. If the Eagle Master fails, no one else can.
The ground offensive quickly began. Archduke Julian transferred all the few war horses in the wasteland to the use of eagles. They could approach the insect swarm on horseback, dismount to fight, and then mount to retreat.
Machine guns were also mounted on horse-drawn carriages.
The Eagle Division spread out its formation and divided it into several small units based on companies and platoons to facilitate front-to-back support.
The forwards started shelling about two miles away from the insect swarm, while the infantry continued to advance to a distance of one mile away from the insect swarm, using rifles and machine guns to kill the monsters.
The War Fortress serves as cover and fire support above the Eagle Division.
The Eagle Master's initial battle did not attract the attention of the insect swarm, or in other words, it did not attract the attention of those who controlled the insect swarm.
Depot No. 2 is the key to determining the outcome of the war.
But with the rapid and fierce attack of the Eagle Style, it is difficult for the enemy not to pay attention to the Eagle Master.
Those guys are like blunt fruit knives, scraping off a piece of skin and flesh from the insect swarm. (To be continued.
