Chapter 512: The Battle of Xingxing Lake (thirteen)
Chapter 512: The Decisive Battle of Star Lake (13)
Not only the imperial army was surprised. When the Orc army on the opposite side saw the strange movement, there was a loud uproar. The steps under their feet also slowed down. In the end, although they did not receive the order, they were still at a loss.
Stopped.
Many imperial soldiers swore that they indeed heard the opponent's unique horn horn sound off-key.
Lorraine glanced back, and then said to the messenger next to him: "Tell the brats below that this is from our side. Don't let those brats wet their pants in fear."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, only to find that the messenger next to him still had a dazed look on his face and stared blankly at the sky. He snorted coldly.
The messenger finally came to his senses, hurriedly took off his brass horn, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard.
Only then did Lorraine smile with satisfaction.
Upon hearing the order, a group of imperial soldiers immediately became commotion, and then they all cheered.
At this time, a huge shadow appeared in the sky.
That thing looked round, but it was extremely huge, at least the size of more than ten houses.
From a distance, it looks like a strange eyeball flying into the air. But that eyeball must belong to the demon in the deepest layer of the abyss.
The whole body is red, like dripping blood~!
It hung in the sky, silently looking down at the battlefield below.
As the leaders of the orc alliance, Vechin and Torek were also the heroes of the party. However, when they saw that huge eyeball flying into the sky, their limbs were cold in shock and they took a breath of cold air.
What on earth is this?
It’s so hideous and terrifying. Could it be that the end of the world has come?
At this time, he was also a little surprised. No wonder Lorraine was so confident that he dared to use only six legions to face the 500,000-strong orc alliance head-on.
At this moment, Udalk next to him stretched out his hand, pointed at the thing in the distance, and recited a spell in a low voice.
Then the air in front of him distorted, and a few shadows that were almost invisible to the naked eye flew out from his fingertips, and then flew out quickly.
That was the invisible ghost he used. This kind of thing is extremely weak and has no attack power. Therefore, the magic power fluctuation is extremely weak, and under normal circumstances, it will not be noticed by the enemy.
After a while, he turned his head and said to Vechin and Torek: "My dear Scorpion King, you don't have to be so afraid. I just checked and that thing has no attack power. And...
…”
When he said this, he made a strange "Huh" sound, then frowned, and continued: "It's weird, it's really weird..."
Vechin and Torek's hearts skipped a beat, and they hurriedly asked: "Master, what's so surprising?"
Udalk said slowly while exploring: "This thing doesn't seem to use magic energy, which is really strange. It has no magic and no wings, but it can fly. This is really strange.
…”
Vechin and Torek glanced at him doubtfully, and thought to themselves: At this critical moment of life and death, what kind of magic does he still have the heart to pay attention to? Are all these magicians stupid?
But he was extremely wise and did not say it out loud. Instead, he asked the question he was most concerned about: "My dear master, are you really sure that this thing has no offensive power?"
Udalk was stunned for a moment, then glanced at him angrily, and said proudly: "Lord Leader, please believe me, I am a professional, I said no. It just didn't~!"
Vechin and Torek were not angry at the moment, they just smiled slightly, and then said to the messengers beside them: "Tell the commander in front of you about this matter, and then send a few shamans to the front of the formation to cast spells on everyone."
.Build morale.”
The messenger agreed and ran out in a hurry.
Wichin and Tolek watched his figure disappear quickly, but they couldn't help but shook their heads gently. During this period of time, he had been studying various strategies and tactics of Lorraine.
Due to the mixed personnel on our side, there is still no unified order transmission. They all go their own way and are extremely mixed. Therefore, orders have always been relayed through the legs of the ordering soldiers.
But Lorraine had already relied on the horn to pass on the order in an instant. In this alone, he already had an absolute advantage.
He then turned his attention to the human camp and looked at the huge eyeball rising slowly in the sky. He was wondering: What on earth is this? What is its use?
Under Lorraine's banner, many people also held the same idea.
Leo raised his head and stared for a long time, and the chatter from his mouth flowed out, hanging on the corners of his mouth, shining brightly and blowing in the wind.
After a while, he finally exclaimed in amazement: "This... what on earth is... this... it's... it's so amazing~! It can actually fly so high?"
Lorraine was also very satisfied with the momentum of this secret weapon when it appeared, and said immediately: "This is called the Eye of Sauron."
Next to her, Adele was stunned and said: "The Eye of Sauron is the Dark Lord who says 'all the rings belong to the Supreme Lord, the Supreme Lord guides all the rings, the Supreme Lord Ring calls all the rings, and all the rings return to the darkness.'
Sauron?"
She paused, and then added: "Please, can you be more serious about writing novels in the future? This kind of magic is no longer popular. Just find a bard and listen to eight paragraphs with a copper.
And if you really get bored, look through the history books, they are all filled with records like this. Especially the chronicles of the emperors, every one of them is full of nonsense."
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and said angrily: "This is the bad Feng Shui here, you know? Liches and dragon magicians are flying all over the sky all day long, as if they don't need money. Where we are, this kind of
The story is a bestseller~!
After the movie is made, Oscars, credit cards, good guy cards... all these awards are as if they were given away for free.
As he said that, he gave Adele a fierce look and said: "If you don't understand art appreciation, don't speak. No one will treat you as a mute. Believe it or not, I will unspoken rules for you when you look back~!"
After all, Adele is a young girl, and she is not as shameless as him. She said such words to his face, and immediately her pretty face turned red and she spat at him fiercely.
Next to her, Lorena murmured the truth in a low voice, saying: "You have no unspoken rules anymore, Dai'er, do you need to dress up?"
Leo ignored their nonsense at all, still looking excited, looking at the huge monster rising in the sky without blinking, as if looking at a beloved toy.
He was young and had sharp eyesight. He was keenly aware of something. He pointed at a location under the huge eyeball and screamed excitedly.
The unique scream of a child rose up like a dolphin, bright and sharp, stinging both ears.
Although Catherine usually disliked him and either beat or scolded the little gangster, this was also a concrete manifestation of the deep love between brother and sister.
When she heard his scream, she was frightened. She hugged him hurriedly and said with concern: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Are you scared? Leo, you... hurry up
Say something?"
As he said that, he glared at Lorraine. He cursed in his heart: What kind of crap is this? Even if it’s meant to scare people, let’s say it in advance. Look, it’s scaring my little friend~! It scared my brother,
I...I...
Before she could finish uttering the harsh words in her heart, at this moment, Leo shook his little head and said: "Sister, please leave it alone~!"
After saying that, he twisted a few times and struggled to get out of Catherine's arms. Then he pointed at the sky and shouted: "Boss, boss. Is there someone sitting down there? I saw it, I saw it. I saw it.
I want to sit on it too, and I also want to sit on it and play."
While shouting, he jumped excitedly with his feet, as if he could jump into the air with one leap.
Everyone was stunned, narrowed their eyes, and looked over seriously.
The behemoth suddenly appeared just now, which was really shocking. Now after Leo's reminder, everyone looked carefully, and sure enough, they saw a hanging blue under the huge eyeball. You can vaguely see there are other things above it.
Several shadows kept shaking.
They also held flags and horns in their hands, obviously intending to convey orders and communicate with the people on the ground.
At this time, Luo Linna also reacted, her beautiful eyes flashed immediately, and then she looked at Lorraine and said: "What is going on? Why can't I feel the magic reaction from there? How did they rise to the sky?
"
After everyone heard her words, they all felt a buzzing sound in their heads.
Under the impact of this huge surprise, many people were almost unsteady and fell to the ground. Can they rise to the sky without magic?
This... this is too unbelievable, right?
But since Lorena said this, it is obvious that as the president of Nai'an's Magic Association, she will never be wrong. In other words, this is true~!
Everyone has always believed that only the power of magic can make people fly into the sky, and there is no other way.
Now suddenly there is a living person in front of me.
It's almost like telling a medieval person that the earth is round and then taking him into space to see it with his own eyes.
This huge impact and shock is not something that just anyone can bear.
Otherwise, students Giordano and Bruno would not have been burned alive in the Piazza del Fiore in Rome. And I believe that if the onlookers watching the excitement, they all stretched out their long necks, after lighting the fire,
Will be applauded loudly.
Lorena reacted immediately.
She asked angrily: "What on earth is this thing and why does it fly into the sky?"
Her attitude is extremely strong and fierce, but it's no wonder that no matter who is doing this to steal her own job, she won't feel comfortable.
Lorraine looked at her pretty face as white as jade and couldn't help but sigh softly. Then he said: "Okay, this is actually a balloon. Haven't you seen smoke floating upward?"
Luo Linna was stunned and asked: "The smoke is floating upward? What's wrong with the smoke floating upward? Does this have anything to do with this? If you dare to shake me, believe it or not, I will report it back to the Magic Association and let them treat you as a monster.
Perform vivisection~!”
She paused and said word by word: "Believe me, there will be many people who will be happy to do this."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "Can't you think of this as a branch of your magic, alchemy? As for explaining this principle, it is very troublesome. I will explain it to you later. You only need to know that it relies on
The heat is enough."
Luo Linna stared at him blankly for a long time, then nodded, and then said: "You can write a report on the principle of this thing later. I believe that as long as you hand it in, the Magic Association will give you money."
Lorraine flicked his sleeves and said proudly: "Do you think I am short of money? I am very rich now. I can earn several thousand gold coins every minute. Besides, this is my patented technology
,How can you just leak it out casually?"
Lorena hesitated.
She also knew that many magicians had this habit. Even if it was a broom of hers, she would treat it as a treasure. And although Lorraine was tough-talking now, she believed that she would have many opportunities in the future and would always be able to pry his mouth open.
He snorted coldly and ignored him.
Lorraine watched with great satisfaction as the balloon rose into the sky and finally settled there.
Leo raised his little head and looked at it for a long time, his neck was sore from looking at it. Finally he couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "What is the use of this thing? Is it enough to just place it there? Or should I say, 'Tee,
Keep firing the laser beams of the star battleship's main cannon outwards in a whimpering manner?"
Luo Linna was also startled, and then said: "Yes, I forgot to mention it. I just checked it, but there is no attack power at all, not even the fluctuation of the explosive crystal. What is this used for?
of?"
Lorraine glanced into the distance and saw that all the orcs on the opposite side had stopped again. In front of their formation, there were several guys dressed in bird feathers and holding colorful staffs dancing.
They roared and screamed as if they were having a convulsion, causing all the orcs to widen their eyes. Lorraine was keenly aware that the commotion caused by them seeing his 'Eye of Sauron' had gradually disappeared.
Moreover, those shamans are not just useless people, they are very useful. Various magic halos are constantly flying up and down.
Under the influence of their spells, the half-orc soldiers all cheered up again, gripped their swords and axes tightly, and began to roar their unique war cries again.
And at the same time, their tawny eyes began to gradually turn red and filled with blood.
However, seeing their appearance, this process of becoming a master will take some time.
At this time, Leo asked again: "Boss, please tell me quickly."
As he spoke, he took his arm and shook it.
Lorraine had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay. This is actually a real-time monitoring system that I use to monitor the entire battlefield.
This is used to monitor the entire battlefield, and then report the situation of the entire battlefield in real time. Finally, based on the actual situation, orders are conveyed and troop deployment is carried out."
Leo hesitated.
He blinked his big eyes and thought for a long time. Finally, he was very disappointed and murmured: "This is too boring. But it would be nice if I could sit on it and have fun."
As he spoke, he held his chubby little chin in his hand and showed a wicked smile on his face.
Luo Linna also felt a little disappointed, and thought to herself: Is it too wasteful to build such a big thing just for reconnaissance? Moreover, it doesn't seem to have much practical use.
It's understandable that they don't understand this thing. They didn't know that just for this 'Eye of Sauron' balloon, Lorraine had already spent a lot of money on it, and also spent a lot of money.
It took a lot of hard work to get it done.
Not only that, but this was just a test model. It had not been tested many times before it was hurriedly put on the battlefield.
Although this is the case, if you look at it in the eyes of other military strategists.
For example, Grand Duke Julius. If he saw it, he would definitely go crazy. It would be good if he didn't go up to the roof and howl like a wild cat.
Despite this, when the imperial generals on the battlefield saw the balloon flags flying and clearly conveying orders one by one, they all burst into tears of excitement.
At the same time, I became more confident and loyal to the Sir Alex who was always coming up with new tricks.
With this lord leading the way, no battle can be won~!
When the time comes, after winning battles, money, things, women, everything will come rolling in?
They knew how important this was.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it has epoch-making military significance.
This 'Eye of Sauron' battlefield real-time surveillance system completely gets rid of the shortcomings of previous reconnaissance.
There is no need for any rangers or magicians to risk their lives for reconnaissance. As long as you climb up and take a look, with the help of telescopes, you can have a panoramic view of dozens of kilometers around. Not only is it better to improve
The efficiency is improved and the risk is greatly reduced.
It is the most effective way for commanders to understand the dynamics of the battlefield~!
When Lorraine sent Vera out for reconnaissance, she did it all at night, firstly to avoid being discovered, and secondly for her safety.
You must know that the half-orcs have a certain connection with the undead demons. Although Vera has a good father and mother, due to the extremely special reasons of her parents and the fact that she is not yet an adult, her skills have been limited.
Not strong.
Furthermore, oil prices have been rising recently.
This dead girl immediately learned from the French's excellent experience of going on strike at every turn, and kept clamoring for a wage increase. Otherwise, she would go on strike. Lorraine had no choice but to give her a severe raise several times.
Later, after receiving reports of signs of the Necromancer's activities, Lorraine stopped letting her go out for reconnaissance for the sake of her safety and her own wallet. She just sent out detective horses to disperse them far away.
go out.
Therefore, when the Silver Wolf clan came over, he didn't notice it in time.
But now, with this 'Eye of Sauron' hanging in the air, everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers can be seen clearly. You can give early warning in time, and naturally avoid someone from sneaking up on you.
Moreover, with it standing high and overlooking the entire battlefield, everyone can clearly see the signal commands coming from above. This is simply equivalent to directly assigning the radio to the regiment level. It greatly facilitates the transmission of various commands.
Commanding and conducting battles is like using fingers and arms~!
As long as you give an order, you can advance or retreat, gather or disperse, all can be done easily.
You must know that this is the realm that generals in the past dynasties have dreamed of.
If Napoleon Napoleon had had one of these at Waterloo, maybe half of his troops could have received the order, rushed to the battlefield in time, and reversed his tragic fate magnificently.
Looking at the various information coming from the balloon, Lord Luo also sighed in his heart: Now, when I go out to hang out, I can say that I have an 'e-8c battlefield joint surveillance system'. Although it has not been implemented yet.
Digitalization, but it can be regarded as entering the ranks of modern military warfare. (Note, the e8c is a battlefield surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft of the United States.)
At this time, I heard the sound of war drums on the opposite side, "dong dong dong".
Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked up.
On the opposite side, I saw that all the ritual shamans had finished dancing.
It looks like they were dancing extremely hard just now, but now they are all tired and sweating profusely, crawling on the ground with their tongues hanging out.
Then, many people ran out from the rear formation, and they carried all the priests down with all their hands.
At this time, a dull horn sound was heard.
Immediately afterwards, the war drums also sounded rapidly.
The magic spells of the priests also showed their effectiveness at this time.
Amidst the rounds of drums filled with murderous intent, the half-orcs immediately became manic one by one. Their eyes became redder and redder, and even began to emit red light outwards.
The veins on each body popped out and the muscles stood out.
Stimulated by the violent spell, many of them began to roar in the sky.
"Ouch, ouch ouch..."
The angry roars gathered together, like a pack of wolves howling at the moon, howling straight into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, in the large formation behind the orcs, more than a dozen trumpeters puffed up their cheeks and blew the long horns at the same time.
‘Woo~woo~~’
When the orcs in the military formation heard the horn of attack, they all looked up to the sky and howled wildly.
At this time, a commander stepped out of the formation.
He came to the front of the orc battle line, then raised his battle ax high, and then slashed forward.
The orcs roared wildly, and then they all waved their weapons and ran towards the imperial army formation.
Regardless of their formation, they spread their legs and ran faster and faster. From a distance, it looked like a river and sea had rolled up on the ground and rushed towards them.
They roared and roared one by one, desperate for their own safety, vowing to smash the imperial army into pieces and drown it in the tide.
