Urgent alarm bells and whistles resounded throughout the No. 2 Military Depot. High-quality updates
In the darkness, people could only hear the rumbling sound in the air, and no one knew how many undead war fortresses were bombarding the No. 2 Military Station from the air.
Every second, a spell fired from a magic cannon fell on Camp No. 2, exploding a cloud of deadly smoke.
At the same time, the rustling sound of thousands of insects crawling could be heard outside the No. 2 Soldier Station, and the insect swarm also seized the opportunity to attack.
The officers of the coalition forces ran back and forth in the fortress against the dark spells falling continuously above their heads, shouting loudly: "Everyone, get to your positions and go to the bunker."
"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight~!"
"Mortars in position, fire support."
"..."
Once they encountered panicked soldiers, they would not hesitate to punch and kick the ruffians to force them to calm down and get into battle as soon as possible.
The long-term training of the security forces was not in vain. Even if they were suddenly attacked by the enemy from the air, after the first two minutes of chaos, the officers only relied on passwords to organize the soldiers from various departments in the camp and rushed to their respective combat positions.
.
Countless incendiary bombs were shot into the sky. Under the light of the incendiary bombs, the ground was pale. Because the illumination bombs shot from the ground were too low, they could not clearly see the war fortress hidden in the night sky, but it allowed them to
I could clearly see the terrifying figure of the insect rushing up from the opposite side.
Fierce gunfire came from all sides of the fortress at the same time.
The soldiers kept firing in all directions, blocking the enemies on the ground.
But the undead war fortress was still raging above the fortress. In desperation, some soldiers took out their machine guns and shot at the vague figure of the undead war fortress in the night sky.
This also inspired other soldiers. They also cursed angrily and set up their machine guns on the top of the trench and opened fire on the swooping undead war fortress.
Dozens of machine guns fired at once, and countless red tracer bullets shuttled back and forth in the air, intertwining into a dazzling fire net.
An undead war fortress broke into the fire net in the sky and was immediately hit by flying bullets.
The war fortress of the undead was so frightened that it suddenly rose up to avoid ground fire.
Simple air defense methods achieved good results, and the fierce firepower forced the subsequent undead war fortresses to dare not lower themselves too low, so their artillery fire hit rate was naturally greatly reduced.
After the enemy's air raid began, Lorraine followed the flow of people rushing to the bunker and returned to the headquarters, where the Duke's combat post was.
At this moment, the headquarters was already in chaos, with the staff holding the telephones leading to various departments in the fortress and yelling.
"There is no artillery support for the time being, yes, no, the damn undead will not leave, and the open artillery positions cannot fire. Do you want the undead to blow up the artillery into the sky?"
"I know you don't have enough troops, but there are no reinforcements for the time being, and everyone is fighting."
"Hold it until our flying troops drive them all away."
"What the hell. Where is our war fortress?"
"We need air support~!"
"I don't know where those naughty mages are. If you see them, give them a shot for me."
"Those bastards always leave when we need them most."
"..."
All kinds of roars and curses rang out, making the headquarters noisy. High-quality updates
There are reports of losses and requests for reinforcements from all over the fortress, but now the headquarters is also confused.
Lord Lorraine looked back at the raging undead war fortress in the sky. The coalition's flying force had just completed a supply operation not long ago.
They wanted to fly back to reload their weapons and ammunition, and then fly back. They were probably on their way here at this moment. Because of this, when they heard the roar of the war fortress in the sky, the coalition forces were paralyzed and careless.
Mistakenly thinking it was my own war fortress.
This group of undead lichs grasped the timing of the sneak attack very well. They may have been watching from the side, waiting for this opportunity.
Until the coalition's flying troops arrive, the fortress must endure attacks from the undead war fortress.
Lord Lorraine couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I'm careless, I'm still careless~!
He clearly had an advantage in flying troops, both in quality and quantity, than the Liches, but the Liches still took advantage of the opportunity and gave him a trick.
While he was thinking about it, he took out a nail clipper and started to trim his nails.
Although the current situation is unfavorable, the soldiers under their command are fighting bravely against the enemy, and the officers are also giving full command. Although they cannot do everything perfectly, they have not made any major or serious mistakes.
At this time, there is no need for Sir Alex to interfere randomly.
As a commander, what he has to do now is to stabilize everyone's emotions as much as possible and never cause panic in the army.
Sure enough, when they saw the Lord manicuring his nails leisurely and contentedly, the officers in the commander's room were still roaring at the phone, but their voices were much less anxious.
Immediately, after they calmed down, they also passed on this emotion to the soldiers at the bottom layer by layer.
It was seen that in just one minute, the soldiers had overcome the initial panic, the gunfire became more and more intensive, and the fire lines of the machine guns that fired outwards were also lowered, and they began to shoot with purpose and precision.
It wasn't the aimless shooting at the beginning.
Even the machine guns shooting in the sky began to be organized into groups instead of shooting randomly in a swarm.
The Duke couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and felt quite proud in his heart: he remained calm in the face of danger and did not panic at any time. Although he was attacked by the enemy and temporarily lost the air superiority, he was able to fight back vigorously. He was worthy of being the little brother he brought out with his own hands.
At this time, Lester, who was wearing pajamas, walked out of the command center with sleepy eyes.
Older people inevitably lose their energy. When there is nothing to do, Lester goes to bed early. He will be woken up by the noise outside.
The old man also wore a nightcap on his head. In order to protect his beautiful beard, a silk bag was specially tied on his chin to cover all the beard.
What shocked Lord Lorraine was that Lester was dressed in a very festive bright red, with a red hat on his head and white hair. At a quick glance, he looked as cute as Santa Claus.
Lester yawned and asked casually: "What's going on with the mess?"
Lord Lorraine sighed and said leisurely: "The war fortress of the undead is coming."
"No... the undead..." Lester was shocked. High-quality updates suddenly woke up. His old eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You mean those lichs took the initiative to fight?"
Lorraine pointed to the night sky outside and said: "Yes~! Look, their war fortress is attacking our fortress."
Lester gave Lorraine a very blank look and said, "I haven't been here for a while, and you have caused such a big mess?"
He paused for a moment, looked at the dark figures in the sky, and couldn't help but said with joy: "Those little turtles are finally willing to crawl out of their shells. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
Sir Lorraine could only nod with a wry smile, and thought to himself: This obviously has nothing to do with you. He said: "Yes, we have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
"Where is our flying force?" Lester looked for a long time, but did not find a war fortress of his own. He frowned and asked.
"The coalition's war fortress just completed a supply operation an hour ago," Lorraine said: "They should be on their way here.
Even for the fastest Eagle fighter wing, it takes more than ten or twenty minutes from the time it takes off after receiving the signal to the time it arrives here."
"It means that during this period of time, no one will come to drive them away." Lester nodded slightly, and then said contemptuously: "So, your alchemy and other things are not reliable at all. At the critical moment, we have to let us
Here comes the mage."
As he spoke, Archmage Lester tore off the cloth pocket from his beard, picked up his staff, strode majestically out of the underground bunker of the headquarters, and stood outside the door looking up at the undead flying above his head.
Clan War Fortress.
Then he slammed the staff in his hand to the ground.
At that moment, Lorraine seemed to see a ball of flame coming out of the old man's body, and his whole body was burning with the desire to fight.
To use a popular saying in later generations, Lester was a capable and competitive player. The more pressing the moment, the higher the old man's fighting will and the better he performed.
The undead war fortress has been hovering above the fortress for more than ten minutes. After receiving machine gun fire from the ground, they turned to attack the wall of the No. 2 military station, trying to create a gap in the military station.
As long as a gap is made in the military station, millions of insects can easily flow in and swamp all the coalition forces here.
It's just that the walls of the fortress are wide and strong - in order to build the walls quickly and effectively, the engineers filled the square cages with iron wire and filled them with stones, and then built them up side by side. The dark spell's attack effect on the walls was not ideal.
After the sneak attack was successful, the lichs never encountered an effective counterattack from humans, and their vigilance gradually relaxed.
As time went by, they also discovered the weakness of the machine gun. Although the fierce firepower threatened them, it was not fatal.
In order to achieve a better attack effect, they even dared to lower themselves to a height of tens of meters above the ground in spite of the fire from ground machine guns.
Since the lichs focused their attention on the outskirts of the fortress, no one noticed Grand Magister Lester in the darkness.
Just as they were bombarding the wall, suddenly, a bucket of thick blue lightning lit up, straddling the ground and the undead war fortress in the air, and directly bombarded an undead war fortress.
.
A cloud of sparks suddenly exploded on the surface of the hit war fortress, and the arc twisted and spread along the outer shell of the war fortress, flying in all directions.
The war fortress seemed to be covered with an electric arc shell. In the next second, a burst of electric sparks exploded from the inside.
Lester's spell penetrated the outer shell of the war fortress and spread all the way to the interior.
I don't know what Lester's lightning technique hit, but a purple-red flame broke out in the undead war fortress. Orange fire rushed out from the window, and the tongue of flames licked the outer shell of the war fortress.
The hit war fortress shook violently above the fortress, causing cheers from the fighting soldiers.
Just when everyone thought it would fall into the fortress, the war fortress stubbornly pulled it up again and slipped away to the north.
The rest of the war fortresses were also startled by this spell. They gave up the battle in front of them. They all pulled up and hid in the air, and the top of the fortress suddenly became empty.
Although Lester succeeded with one blow, he was not very happy. Instead, he shook his head regretfully and smacked his lips and said: "It's a pity, the shell is too thick, otherwise I will definitely be able to knock it off this time."
Lord Lorraine shrugged. For the lichs, Lester's intimidation was enough.
A red, yellow and green light suddenly lit up in the night sky in the south, rushing towards the fortress with a roaring sound.
The soldiers suddenly let out a wave of cheers.
Those must be the coalition flying units, only they are equipped with bright anti-collision lights.
Then, several flares were dropped from high in the sky, lighting up the surrounding night sky.
In the blue-white light, the beautiful figures of a dozen Eagle fighter jets flew over the head of the fortress, then suddenly turned around, like fierce tiger sharks, and circled around the fortress menacingly, searching for traces of the enemy.
At this time, the undead war fortress had disappeared in the night sky. They no longer knew where they were hiding.
The soldiers on the ground emerged from the trenches and looked at the Eagle fighter units showing off their power above them. They waved to them with their fists and shouted excitedly: "You're here just now, we need you."
Where were you grandsons~!"
Soon, the coalition's war fortress also rushed over and regained the sky near the fortress.
The flying troops chased north for a certain distance, but failed to capture the undead war fortress, and the lichs completely escaped.
In the end, the mages were afraid of going too far and being ambushed, so they all withdrew and sent out a safe signal at the same time.
Lester dozed off first, then patted Lorraine on the shoulder, with a victorious smile on his face, and said: "If you have any troubles, remember to wake me up."
Then he hummed "I stood on the tower and watched the mountain view...", and Shi Shiran went back to catch up on his sleep.
Looking at the proud back of the old man, Lord Lorraine secretly thought: It seems necessary to further educate those mages in the flying force.
With his head free of worries, Lord Lorraine returned his attention to the battle on the ground. This was the first time that the insect swarm launched an attack at night. Normally, they would all shrink back at dusk.
Night fighting is very detrimental to the coalition soldiers, and the coalition's range advantage will be greatly reduced.
Lord Lorraine originally thought that this night would definitely not be easy, but fortunately the air threat was removed and the artillery could be used in the battle again.
But unexpectedly, after the initial panic, the troops holding on to the bunker successfully blocked the swarm's attack, making it easier than during the day.
Lorraine personally went to the forward bunker to take a look and figured out the reason. In the darkness, the death knell beetles were in a mess, crawling around before the game, and many of them ran in the wrong direction.
It turns out that the insect swarm is night-blind and cannot see anything in the dark. They only move based on their feelings. Many of them ran to the side before reaching the fortress.
This also explains why the insect swarm retreated at night a few days ago.
Without the cooperation of the Undead War Fortress, the swarm's attack at night did not last long, and the battle ended with the enemy's retreat after an hour.
After daybreak, reports on the losses of various ministries were gradually tallied up.
It only took more than ten minutes for the undead war fortress to be bombed, and the casualties were higher than those of several days of fierce fighting.
Most of them were injured by dark spells in the first round of attacks on the enemy's war fortress.
Lord Lorraine, who was unhappy, threw down the report and walked out of the underground headquarters. Looking around, he saw that the fortress was devastated by bombs.
There are large and small craters everywhere made by magic cannons, and mages are eliminating the remnants of dark spells and treating them harmlessly.
During last night's air raid, several semi-underground warehouses were hit and collapsed. Soldiers are digging through the collapsed rocks to rescue the materials inside.
There are two war fortresses parked on the landing site. Medical soldiers will send the injured and injured who have received emergency treatment and evacuate them to the rear for treatment.
The surrounding soldiers watched quietly, not knowing whether they sympathized with them for being injured or envied them for being able to stay away from the battlefield.
The only thing that can make Lorraine feel relieved is the underground warehouse where ammunition is stored.
It's no wonder that Your Majesty spent a lot of money to dig out these underground warehouses. They withstood the continuous bombardment of magic cannons last night.
Lorraine didn't dare think about what would happen if the warehouse where the artillery shells were stored was penetrated, causing a big explosion.
Lester appeared beside Lorraine in a daze, looked around, and said: "It seems that the loss last night was not small."
Lorraine smiled and said, "But we finally caught the lich, so it can't be said that we didn't gain anything."
Lester looked at the swarm of insects outside the fortress that seemed to have not diminished at all, and said: "It can be seen that the lichs are almost impatient. At this point in the battle, the enemy will probably start to fight with all their strength. We have to
Be extra careful.”
The loud alarm bells echoed in the fortress, and the swarm of insects surrounding the fortress rushed towards the fortress wall again, and the battle began again for a new day.
The fortress's artillery seemed to be blasting out all those who had been bombed last night, and the rumble of cannons resounded throughout the fortress.
At first, everything was the same as in the past two days. The insects rushed up repeatedly. Machine guns, flamethrowers and mages in the fortress came into battle to kill them on the road leading to the fortress.
War fortresses carry bombs and incendiaries to plow the ground over and over again.
But a few hours later, the sky suddenly darkened and mist rose from the wasteland.
It was very light at first, and the visibility was several miles.
As time went by, the fog became heavier and heavier. By ten o'clock in the afternoon, the fog surrounding the fortress became very obvious, and the visibility of the soldiers in the fortress was only a few hundred meters.
At this rate, thick fog will seriously block the soldiers' sight at night.
Lord Lorraine looked at the army of insect waves hidden in the heavy fog, and thought to himself: Why is it that the smog is still so heavy in a barren land? This 2.5-point love is seriously over the limit. (To be continued...)
ps: It’s a new year, I wish everyone a happy new year.
