The sun is high - #165 - Chapter 164 Preparation before the war

The giant spider that was forcibly dragged back to the ground from the air by the running rat has basically lost the ability to struggle and resist. The corrosive poison is now being continuously injected into its body along the three long tails with barbs, restricting it. As it moved further, the running rat stepped directly on the giant spider’s body and began to tear and gnaw unscrupulously.

Xiuge knew that although he had revealed part of his magical abilities in front of these soldiers, it was obviously inappropriate for them to watch him “process” the descendants of An Yuan in front of them, so he immediately issued an order to let these soldiers The soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment turned to collect the remains and weapons of their dead comrades, leaving themselves the space to deal with this terrible magical creature.

Although Xiuge knew that the descendant of An Abyss who had mutated into a traveling spider in front of him had the ability to communicate with him, he did not want to waste time on this. After making sure that no one else was observing or spying on him, Xiuge Then he came to the giant spider.

At this point, the beast was basically unable to move.

Under the influence of the corrosive magic power continuously injected into it by the running rat, it could no longer maintain its body shape as a walking spider, and began to slowly “melt” towards the original appearance of the descendant of the dark abyss.

The familiar organs of the descendants of the dark abyss began to grow in the depths of these writhing black puss, but Shuge did not give it a chance to talk to him.

With his previous experience, he knew that it was meaningless to talk to these guys. If he wanted to know the other person’s specific experience and situation, it would be better to choose a more direct method.

So a large amount of mirror messenger mist exploded on Xiuge’s body. Feeling the fatal threat, the descendant of An Abyss let out a miserable scream. The pus tried to spread towards the distance, but the mist from An Abyss Palace failed. Two minutes faster, they shrouded everything in front of them extremely quickly, and all the power in the body of the descendant of the dark abyss was immediately ruthlessly extracted and plundered. Soon, the desperate screams it made were completely drowned in In thick fog.

This time, Xiuge was already prepared in advance to deal with those massive unfamiliar memories.

Since it was not suitable to start sorting and digesting these memories immediately, Xiuge just opened up a space in his spiritual world. He piled these memories together and tried his best to prevent them from interfering with his thinking. and status.

The running rat obviously understood the meaning of Xiuge’s behavior. It felt that the food it had received seemed to be gone, so it screamed twice with some dissatisfaction, taking advantage of the mist of the messenger in the mirror before it completely plundered the power of the descendants of An Yuan. When it was clean, it lowered its head secretly and tore two more bites into its target’s body.

This is its “appearance tip” this time.

After a while, Xiuge ended his devouring action. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples vigorously to drive away the drowsiness in his head, then turned and walked towards where the members of the Chasseur Regiment were. go.

…

It is the tradition of Votel soldiers to admire the strong and heroes.

Therefore, when Shuge and others successfully returned to the large marching team, they immediately received a warm and silent welcome.

There is no way around it. After all, the Chasseur Regiment is still on the march. The two “teeth stick” candies handed over and the bottle of plateau liqueur that Alfred secretly left for himself can be regarded as the completion of the repair. Congratulations on this feat.

Although this form is very simple, Xiuge can feel the enthusiasm and excitement in others’ eyes.

The captured Delan hunters even stuttered out a few words.

From Meyer’s mouth, Shuge learned that these Delan hunters who followed traditional customs seemed to regard themselves as “the chosen messengers of the hunting god.”

In their simple understanding, only the will and power from the God of Hunting can expel or kill evil beasts that should not exist in this world at all. If they were not still captured, These hunters almost all voluntarily become followers of Shuge.

After the hidden danger was successfully resolved, the Chasseur Regiment returned to its original marching state, multiple reconnaissance teams became active again, and the speed of the overall team also began to increase.

As the team continued to advance, the hunter captives from Black Forest Town gradually began to become fearful and angry. They finally realized that these soldiers from the Plateau Kingdom were marching towards their homeland.

So these hunters began to clamor and struggle. They wanted to persuade or stop the actions of these soldiers – but this was obviously impossible. Just a few simple tricks made these hunters completely quiet. They are now He could only make a slight hesitation sound, but couldn’t make a loud sound at all.

Shuge glanced at these hunters, and then he sighed softly: “Professor, to them, we are already invaders.”

“I know.”

Meyer’s face became heavier than before, but he still remained calm: “These people did not think that the war would spread to the place where they lived so quickly… They felt that this war should be the same as in the past, Countries and countries face each other head-on on a frontal front, with the winning side advancing and the losing side retreating until the winner is determined.”

Wei Lin, who had been walking quietly beside her, suddenly spoke in a low voice: “The changes on the frontal battlefield are too fast… When I was in Brown Hill Town, I had a few words with a mage who was injured in the ‘Silver Corridor’. Say, now is the time for ‘defense’.”

“Yes, changes in ordnance force changes in magic, and changes in magic use strategies directly lead to modifications to the original tactical system.”

Shuge nodded and added: “In this case, any impact and attack on the frontal defense line is not worthwhile, so everyone will find ways to open up new fronts to break this deadlock, just like we are now. “

“This confrontation situation brings a lot of pressure.”

Meyer stepped over a dead tree and said: “The conditions of the Kingdom of Walter and the Kingdom of Hain are relatively good. With sufficient supplies of materials, the battle line and morale can be maintained, but St. Stephen’s Your situation is not optimistic.”

He raised his hand and wiped an ice crystal from the bark of the tree next to him: “The temperature there is much harsher than here. Once the war is prolonged, there will be big problems in the replenishment of personnel and materials. If this If there are other external forces interfering at this time, the Kingdom of St. Steele will most likely fall into decline, which is likely to cause the entire war to change beyond everyone’s expectations.”

While everyone was talking wordlessly, the Chasseur Regiment finally arrived at the edge of the forest.

Everyone began to rest on the spot, while a new group of reconnaissance teams began to explore in the direction of Black Forest Town and Black Forest Fortress – they needed to verify the information they had previously received from the Delan hunters.

Alfred and other officers unfolded a map in the forest. This map was temporarily drawn based on the information obtained by the scouts. It mainly showed the terrain near the Black Forest Town. Although it looked rough, under the guidance of the mages, With the help of , some important landmarks and passages have been presented in great detail.

Between the town and the forest, there is a large-scale river, and there are six bridges of different sizes on the river. In the direction of the Black Forest, they are important channels to communicate with the outside world and the town.

At this time, the river had begun to freeze, but no experienced officer would make the decision to “cross the river directly on the ice” in the presence of an enemy mage.

“There are six bridges in total… If we want to use supplies and ordnance to set up a defense line after taking the town, then we must control these bridges, especially this bridge.”

Alfred poked the map twice with his finger: “This metal bridge will become our primary target… As long as we can control it, we will have an important position in this direction.” aisle.”

An officer expressed his concerns: “The Delan people are not stupid. They also know the importance of this bridge. I am worried that they will choose to blow up the bridge.”

So Alfred immediately turned to look at Wei Lin, who silently calculated for a few seconds, then shook his head and said: “It’s unlikely… If the markings on the map are correct, then this is a metal structure. bridge, and according to the habits of the magicians of the Kingdom of Delan, this important building must have some permanent rituals attached to it.”

Wei Lin said softly: “Unless they can set up a large number of powerful alchemical bombs and destructive magic rituals in a short period of time, there is absolutely no way to achieve this goal.”

The judgment from professionals made all the officers smile with satisfaction, but then Master Krauts poured cold water on everyone: “Don’t be too happy too early. This possibility cannot be completely ruled out… If Germany The Lan people have learned that we are heading in this direction before, so they are very likely to prepare in advance.”

He took a step forward and placed his finger on the sign of Black Forest Castle: “What are you going to do in this direction?”

Major Alfred had long been accustomed to his partner’s “negotiation style”, so he picked up the kettle and took a sip, and asked tentatively: “Three companies, are they enough?”

Krauts didn’t speak, just stared at him.

“Tsk.”

Alfred’s expression changed: “Add two more Kalfan heavy machine gun teams?”

“It’s still not enough.”

This time, it was not Krautz who spoke, but Wei Lin, who rarely expressed opinions on military deployment.

A rigorous scholar always gets everyone’s attention whenever he speaks, so when everyone present looked over, Weilin said: “According to the practice in Walter’s army, I think it is necessary to add at least one or two more assaults.” Team, equipped with a full set of crystallized ammunition and weapons…”

Alfred raised his eyebrows: “Ms. Wei Lin, you mean that there might be a team of sword-wielding hermits?”

“Both reorganization and mixed reorganization are possible. After all, before and after the Salem City Incident, the Legal Committee had already dispatched them here. The location of Black Forest Castle is very delicate, and it may become their stronghold.”

Wei Lin explained: “Furthermore…according to my past experience in the Legal Committee, in this special period, these Merlin Lehe sword-holders are very likely to absorb the Delan troops who meet the requirements as One’s own reserve members.”

“You mean the Iris bodyguards of the Delan?”

“Yes.”

Wei Lin nodded: “I read some battlefield reports from the ‘Silver Corridor’. The report mentioned that the loss of the first defensive position was related to the Iris guards… They obtained information from Merlinle and Zai Mo. There’s a lot of support in terms of medicine, gear, and magic, so I think something has to be watched out for.”

The scholar’s proposal was immediately recognized by many military officers.

In fact, after new types of ordnance began to be widely used, many soldiers who had witnessed or even endured the power of magic in the past had a psychological rebound – they began to instinctively trust the weapons in their hands. He also developed a slight contempt for those extraordinary powers that could easily harm him and the users of these powers.

This is a very normal psychological phenomenon.

It is especially likely to appear in soldiers who are proficient in shooting skills, or who are trained to operate heavy machine guns and new crystal cannons.

However, the officers present were calm and sober.

They all know that if a unit receives full support and “upgrades” from Merlin Lehe, then they are very likely to become a major threat in small-scale battlefields. After all, although the firepower of new ordnance can defeat traditional magic in the front, Barrier, but in the face of the kind of magical protection method imposed on a small team regardless of the cost, it will still be powerless.

“Okay, I understand.”

Alfred put down his kettle, stared at the map and said: “It seems that we also need to make corresponding preparations for the frontal attack on the town… let our ‘Kalfan boys’ Bring special ammunition, and once the sword wielders or Iris guards appear, give them the highest standards of treatment!”

“Mr. Krauts, inform our mage rifle team that the time has come to verify the significance of their existence, as well as our stream-level mages, and ask them to take care of all heavy machine guns and our logistics. No one is allowed to be lazy… Ms. Wei Lin, I’ll leave you to handle the magic ritual settings and inspections before the attack.”

At this moment, Alfred was no longer as funny and easy-going as usual. His eyes were cold, like a hungry wolf walking down from the plateau.

Having said this, he took out the crystal watch he carried with him and confirmed the current time.

“Okay, gentlemen! Go back to your positions and let our soldiers fill their bellies in advance… It will be dinner time in an hour and a half, so let us give these Delan people a votel Dessert!”
