Duke Fan was surprised. When he left Scambrai, he had already arranged the follow-up work. The two deputies were both senior officers he had brought along from the Lion River Theater. There was no problem with their abilities. How could there be a major military situation that required him?
to handle?
The three Phantom Beast Knights had awkward expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and then at the more than ten senior officers in the tent. Finally, the squadron leader led by him said hesitantly: "Sir... we...
...dereliction of duty.”
"What's going on? Hesitating, are you taking action?" Duke Fan asked the man to fidget. If these three fantasy beast knights were his direct subordinates, he would have kicked them up.
"Sir, two days ago, we suddenly discovered that there was actually... in Shicheng City..." Sweat appeared on the squadron leader's forehead.
"What happened?" Either tell him quickly or get out!" General Fan was already very angry.
"All the defenders in Shicheng have disappeared!"
Ah? As soon as the Phantom Beast Knight finished speaking, everyone in the entire tent couldn't believe their ears! Disappeared? How is it possible? The army of more than 200,000 people dug so many trenches and trapped it. Unless it was a dragon knight,
Otherwise, how could they disappear? Moreover, the number of Skan City's defenders would not be less than 60,000. Even if half of them died in the plague, the remaining 30,000 soldiers would not disappear out of thin air.
Could it be that...these defenders took the tunnels just like when His Majesty Hongshi left? No, His Majesty Hongshi gave a detailed map, and Fan specially arranged manpower to open several secret passages and strictly defend them.
.
"Sir," the words had already been spoken, and the three phantom knights gradually began to narrate smoothly: "Two days ago, we suddenly found a white flag on the wall. Then, we sent someone to check and learned that, in one moment, more than 40,000 regular troops
All of them disappeared, and all those defending the city were from the Swordsman Battalion. The other party said that if they could get pardon from the empire, they would be willing to surrender."
Huh... Duke Fan said coldly: "Didn't they cry and shout for surrender? Has the food in the city been at the bottom long ago?"
On January 26, the ninth year of the magical calendar, when Duke Fan was surrounded by nearly 200,000 troops, all the regular troops in the city disappeared without a trace.
The reason is actually very simple. This mysterious power comes from Azure Island--that is, the Western Magic Empire.
Princess Bi has been very busy in the past year. Although the Magic Guild has been preparing for 200 million years, many problems have arisen during the actual implementation, such as forming a magic army.
In the ancient magic empire, the number of organized magic legions ranged from 4,000 to 1,000. A small number does not mean a weak combat power. In fact, it is quite the opposite. A small legion is often composed of great magicians or even magisters, while a large number of legions are mostly composed of mages.
It is composed of first-level magicians and even second-level magicians.
Ancient magic legions are all mixed---generally include three or four lines of magicians. The most powerful magic legion should generally consult with the magic legion leader in advance. In war, the magic legion chief holds a
With a small baton, he can command magicians of different types to release unique magic according to the progress of the war.
Most people think that the magicians of the magic legion release all offensive magic. This is a big mistake. You can imagine that if a legion is composed of wind, water, fire, and ice elements, if they release it in batches to the enemy.
What are the consequences of offensive magic? Especially if the time sequence is not mastered well, the fire element will be extinguished by the water element before it can burn. The water will be frozen by the ice before it can release its power. As soon as the ice comes, it will be blown away by the wind.
Gone………………
Even a legion composed entirely of magicians of one line cannot release all offensive magic---thousands of magicians suddenly summon a large number of elves of the same type at one point. These magics may have already been in the magic legion before they are released.
A fusion explosion is triggered in the sky, and the result is that the magic army will be blown to pieces first, and then it will be possible to draw some enemies to back it up.
Moreover, the more advanced magic is, the more likely it is to have the above problems. On the contrary, it is much safer to use entry-level magic. However, will there be a first-level magician who releases entry-level magic? The attack range of entry-level magic is pitifully short.
The biggest problem for the Western Empire is that almost all of its subordinates are water magicians, and there are very few other magicians. Water magic is recognized as having the worst attack power among the six magics. In order to allow the magic army to play its due role, Princess Bi
, it is now being tested day and night by Queen Bi and the Jedi Grand Elders.
It is easy to make mistakes when you are busy. During a test at the end of spring, a wind magic from a wind magician who was too tired did not release. As a result, a three-series magic explosion occurred in the entire magic training ground. Fortunately, it was done in advance.
Careful arrangements prevented deaths, but even so, five magisters were seriously injured.
After the great plague appeared, Renault made a special trip to Azure Island - in order to prevent infection, he spoke to his sister through the fence. Lei wanted to ask his sister to provide enough teleportation crystals, and to send food and other supplies to the city or
Teleport the soldiers away.
Regarding this matter, the Western Empire has no shirk in its responsibility. The Jedi elders also know that Her Majesty the Queen of the Magic Empire is a member of the small mercenary group. If the small mercenary group wins in the end, the Western Empire will have no value in existence. Before,
The establishment of the Magic Legion of the Western Empire's Urgent Three Fire Division is also officially to help the Western Emperor's group to win, and finally get a share of the fruits of victory.
However, the speed of changes in the war situation has repeatedly exceeded the expectations of the Jedi elders. In less than half a year, the Western Emperor Cluster has experienced from low ebb to high tide and then to super low ebb, and now the situation has reached a precarious situation.
Now, the Western Emperor Cluster urgently needs support from the Western Empire in the following aspects, in order of urgency:
The first is to set up a large magic circle in the city to continuously transport strategic materials into the city - this is a difficult requirement. No matter how rich the magician union is, it cannot support a city of 2 million people;
Second, if Shi cannot hold on, use the magic teleportation array to teleport the defending soldiers to the Flower Language Plain;
Third, in order to slow down the spread of the plague in the Flower Language Plain, a large-scale ice field should be built with at least one city as the center. This point was proposed by two ice magicians. The theory is feasible, but it requires enough magic wells;
The Fourth Magic Legion entered the war as soon as possible.
The Jedi Grand Elders discussed continuously throughout the night, and in the end, a total of more than 4,000 magicians were dispatched to implement it one by one. The Scambrai Magic Array was established before the Elf War. It was erected in the Flower Language Plain shortly after the Elf War.
An ice magic array with a diameter of more than 200 meters was set up. Under the cover of the black storm, the magicians set up ten more identical ice magic arrays in succession. All important figures and elite troops in the West Emperor Cluster were involved in ice magic.
Within the array...
Helping Shi's troops evacuate was the last step of the entire plan. Evacuating more than 40,000 soldiers and related non-military personnel in one go - and the distance was more than 3,000 miles away. This was also a test for the Western Magic Empire.
In the original plan, before assisting the Western Emperor's group to evacuate, they were prepared to send five magisters to conduct a saturation attack on the besieging army, which would at least cause thousands of battle losses to the defending army.
In the end, this resolution was vetoed by His Majesty the Pope: The Pope had accurate information. The Golden Brain was secretly surrendered by the Red Stone Emperor, depriving at least 25 of its military power. The power of the small mercenary group was related to that of the Sanggan River war zone.
The drifting trend, if we rush to attack the siege troops now, they are all troops under the command of the Red Stone Emperor himself, and it will definitely be counterproductive.
Of course, Duke Fan didn't know everything behind the scenes, but even if he knew that the Western Empire had officially joined the war, he would still have a smile on his face like now.
The three fantasy beast knights did not understand why the general was laughing. Fan was too lazy to pay attention to these middle and lower-level officers and said casually: "You guys will come back later, I'll leave first." After saying that, he took out his dragon flute and immediately summoned the dragon, who suddenly flew away.
go.
The speed of the giant dragon was not even a little faster than that of the fantasy beast. The three knights of the fantasy beast traveled two days, and Fan landed in the military camp outside the city in less than half a day.
The two generals hurriedly welcomed the general into the camp, and General Bad En took the initiative to reject other low-level officers, especially those who originally served in the northern theater.
"Why are you so mysterious?" Fan was confused.
"Sir, this matter is really difficult to handle. We have laid a dragnet here, and more than 200,000 troops have besieged the city for nearly half a year. In the end, the enemy Jin Chan escaped. Once His Majesty blames him..." General Wynn is already in his 50s. Once he gets older,
My thoughts are naturally heavy.
"Blame? Why should you blame when the disaster has flowed to the east? Fan Wusheng smiled: He captured the imperial capital without bloodshed and completed the task. Your Majesty will not leave a few rebel bandits again. Besides... people die in the plague every day in the city.
Even the four famous generals in the past died of illness. Who dares to say that all the defenders in the city did not die from the plague and were eventually cremated? I think the ones who escaped in the end might be a few bandit leaders. After all, they are sacred dragons.
Knight, unless we get that... Da Qingshan, maybe there is a way. Besides, even if there is a teleportation array, maybe dozens or hundreds of senior personnel will be teleported away. Is this normal?
"This..." The two generals looked at each other and did not dare to agree with Duke Fan's statement.
The Duke was very unhappy and glared, "Just do as I said and send the battle report to His Majesty Hongshi."
"However, just the day before yesterday, Mr. AM sent someone to deliver a new order to you." Hua Enshen will take out the envelope with AM's private seal from behind the table.
"Oh? You know it so soon? The little guy's ears are long enough?" Duke Fan opened the envelope casually, and the content was very simple:
It was learned that Shi's defenders had escaped through the teleportation array. After receiving this order, they immediately restored the imperial capital and rescued the people. There must be no mistakes. The soldiers and civilians of the imperial capital must distinguish the good from the bad and treat them separately.
Amy Harper, the highest general in the Empire Continent
"Mr. Am didn't say how many defenders escaped. After all, he is thousands of miles away. We don't know the situation, so he reported it as I said. Hehe... I guess these tens of thousands of new troops will not cause any trouble to the Grand Marshal.
"If you are capable, you will naturally have to work harder." Duke Fan shook the letter paper with a smile: "Is the bald-tailed dragon knight who sent the letter still there? Do you need me to reply to Mr. Am?"
Counselor Hua En blinked his eyes, and finally said carefully, "Sir, the Grand Marshal AM sent five mad eagle knights, not His Excellency An Qiusheng."
Duke Fan was so fierce that he didn't react. He was stunned for a moment before he found clues of the answer on the faces of the two generals. He finally understood why the two generals were so mysterious. Subconsciously, Duke Fan was not paying attention.
