The sun is high - #167 - Chapter 166 Times have changed
During the period before the battle officially started, Xiuge had been trying to absorb and digest the memories taken from the descendants of An Yuan.
This time, he specially selected a considerable number of the memories of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Delan for in-depth study. The content he focused on included but was not limited to the combat habits and experience of the soldiers of Delan, several different local languages of Delan, and some Perceptions related to the town of Black Forest.
He even carried out several offensive and defensive simulations and imaginations in his mind, using his knowledge of Votel and Delan’s army. However, when the battle officially started, Xiuge still felt an unprecedented shock and excitement. impact.
There is always a huge difference between the war we understand through images, words and memories, and what we feel after stepping into the battlefield in person.
In the Kingdom of Votel, each force has a history and origin that can be traced. When they were first established, they have been assigned different functions, missions and responsibilities. It is precisely because of this that they act When you do it, you will also show your own temperament and style.
The Chasseur Regiment may not be regarded as the trump card in the Kingdom of Walter today, but there is no doubt that they are the elite that can best embody the nature of the “Falcon”.
Soaring in the sky, looking for prey, waiting for opportunities.
And when the time is right, he transforms into a cold-blooded hunter and delivers a fatal blow to his prey.
For those recruits who have just joined the Chasseur Regiment and have not yet experienced real combat, such a temperament is still very far away. However, at this moment, the veterans of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment have made great contributions to their juniors. The most vivid and perfect example.
The moment they received the order to attack, they began to strictly implement every step of the plan.
Leave your hiding place in the woods and head toward a predetermined spot along the river, aim your target, and shoot without mercy.
The goal of the first batch of attackers was simple – to control the river bank in front, suppress the enemy with continuous firepower, cover the accompanying mages and build temporary magic bunkers, and establish basic conditions for subsequent offensive operations.
As one of the most outstanding stream-level mages among the current Fifth Chasseur Regiment, Xiuge naturally entered this offensive echelon that was both dangerous and glorious.
However, he is different from those spell casters who are hiding behind the soldiers and moving forward slowly. Shuge is holding a standard revolver rifle in his hand, and the magazine of his rifle is filled with special full-power crystal bullets.
After seeing with his own eyes Shuge’s shooting skills and accuracy that were comparable to those of a veteran, Master Krauts specifically requested three crystallized ammunition for him, which enabled him to assume an extremely important responsibility, that is, during the march In the process, we searched for key targets on the other side’s defense line and gave them “the warmest greetings.”
In the magic perception that Xiuge expanded with all his strength, the figures and movements of the Dharma Committee’s casters in the distance were as dazzling as candlelight in the dark night. He quickly found his first target, and immediately He pulled the trigger of the revolver rifle in his hand.
“boom!”
In the face of such powerful crystallized ammunition, all soundproofing rituals were meaningless. The terrifying roar echoed at the edge of the forest, and the bullet that was enough to cause damage to the gun itself was directed towards the man who was busy using protection. The Dharma Master of the ceremony flew away.
This mage obviously had some battlefield experience. He had already set up two layers of magic barriers on his body before performing the protective ritual for the position. However, he did not expect that he would be treated like this immediately after the war. .
In the magic explosion caused by the crystallized ammunition, the two magic barriers shattered on the spot like glass, and the bullets from other soldiers easily penetrated the mage’s body, killing the caster’s life and breathing. The protective ritual that was about to be completed was killed on the spot.
“First.”
Shuge read softly.
As the revolver’s bullet chamber rotates, a large amount of magic steam is emitted, and then the second bullet is fired. This time, Xiuge’s target is changed to the bunker set on the right side of the bridge, where the shooting window is shooting towards The soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment were firing deadly crystal bullets as they advanced.
The chaotic light and the narrow window on the bunker did not hinder Xiuge’s shooting in the slightest, so with the second roar, a violent magic explosion burst out in the bunker, and a large amount of blood mist even floated from the shooting window. It is needless to say how tragic it was when it came out.
However, the Black Forest Infantry Regiment’s counterattack came extremely quickly.
Although the crystal muskets they used were unable to provide high-frequency shooting, there were magic crystal cannons set up behind the position. Soon, shells fell among the advancing soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment. In the magic explosions and air waves they created, personal courage and tenacity seemed insignificant. Xiuge even saw a soldier being lifted directly into the sky, and his body even decomposed in the magic explosion and scattered everywhere.
A river and six bridges above it constitute this special Black Forest front. Deaths continue to occur on both sides of the river bank. However, the death of individuals has no way to prevent the confrontation between the two sides.
At this time, the entire Fifth Chasseur Regiment had completely terminated its magical silence, so Weilin, a lake-level magic scholar, finally got the opportunity to fully demonstrate her magical abilities. Under her leadership, the mage apprentices The special rifle team formed followed the first echelon and appeared in the sight of the Delans. The complex magic patterns that had been prepared for a long time were constructed in an instant. Under the cover of a large-scale magic protection ceremony, these first-timers The mage apprentices on the battlefield prostrated on the ground in accordance with the requirements during training.
The revolver rifles they carried were different from those used by other soldiers – the rifles were longer and had an additional bipod.
These mage apprentices who have mastered the “Magic Bow and Arrow” trick immediately started similar operations the moment they received Weilin’s order. Amidst the intensive gunfire and deafening explosions, they gritted their teeth and limited themselves. The magic power was shaped into long and narrow magic bullets, and tremblingly filled them into the revolving bullet nest.
“Calm down and don’t think too much… you are safe.”
At this moment, the words from the female scholar became clearer. The cold tone combined with the surging magic power calmed the thoughts and emotions of these magic apprentices who set out on the battlefield for the first time. Then, in the past, The large-scale magic used in dense shooting arrays in the era began to take effect, and a stable magic circuit connected the magic power of all shooters.
As a result, in their field of vision, all people and objects related to magic in the distance became clearly visible.
The next second, this special mage rifle team began to perform its own shooting mission.
Those crystal cannons that are far away from the defense line and are constantly exerting pressure on the Chasseur Regiment have become the primary targets of these special shooters. They do not need to do too much, just keep repeating those simple actions.
Construct bullets, load, aim and shoot.
Although the accuracy of these shooters is not as accurate as that of experienced soldiers, the relatively stable shooting environment and the light and shadow of the magic ritual that hangs above them, constantly making a slight buzz, give them great confidence and make them feel more confident. They played their true role in this moment.
At this time, Shuge had followed the first echelon to the river bank. After using his magic protection and several Charron’s Touch to barely resist the two crystal bullets fired from the other side, Shuge immediately raised the wheel. The rifle counterattacked, and after firing the last two powerful bullets from the bullet chamber, he immediately put down the revolver, picked up the magic book, and started building a temporary bunker with the other spellcasters who arrived at the front line. Work.
This job sounds complicated, but it is actually very simple.
Use three to four different war magics in the calculated order, use the soil and rocks on the river beach as basic materials, forcibly build a bunker that can be used to avoid the aftermath of bullets and magic explosions, and then perform multiple operations on them. Secondary magic reinforcement to ensure that these bunkers can function within a certain period of time.
Therefore, during the fierce counterattack of the Delans, a seemingly crude but extremely important wall was erected next to the river bank. After the reinforcement process was completely completed, the spellcasters who specialized in battlefield protection rituals immediately hid behind the low wall. Afterwards, protective rituals were constructed one after another to ensure that subsequent soldiers could continue to advance.
Under this subtle distance, direct confrontation between mages inevitably occurs.
Various destructive magics have been cast by the members of the Legal Committee. They have absolute confidence in this aspect, and some of these spellcasters have even begun to try to use complex rituals to dismantle the structures of the Chasseur Regiment. Make a temporary bunker.
In their opinion, the actions of these Votel soldiers were stupid. They paid so much price just to build some earth walls that could not last long?
“This makes absolutely no sense!”
The mages of the Legal Committee thought so, as did the Delan officers in the defense line, so they immediately issued instructions to the rear. Soon, a special team arrived at the fighting defense line from the rear. among.
Different from ordinary Delan soldiers, the members of this team wear dark blue cloaks, and they are also equipped with strong armor and two magic-stricken silver swords, one long and one short. In addition, they also carry A new type of crystal gun.
As Weilin had guessed before, there were Iris guards in Black Forest Town.
Moreover, this is a special bodyguard team that has received the support of Merlin and has taken a large amount of magic potions. They even carry small portable secret instruments, which gives them the ability to maneuver in small-scale battlefields and conflicts. The confidence to gallop.
“Don’t let them get close to the bridge! Destroy their temporary bunkers and clear out their mages!”
As a result, the Iris guards immediately began to implement the instructions they received. Under everyone’s gaze, these warriors who had served as the guards of the Royal Family and the capital in the past rushed out of the defense line with agile steps, and under the magic Under the cover of guns, artillery shells and crystal bullets, they rushed onto the bridge and faced the members of the Chasseur Regiment who were also trying to board the bridge.
As special beings who enjoy great reputation throughout Van En, these terrifying magic swordsmen showed their true power at the first opportunity. Their existence seemed to announce the era of magic to everyone present. It was not over yet. They were not afraid of the firing of the revolver rifle and the explosion caused by the alchemy bomb. Therefore, the assault team of the Chasseur Regiment that tried to board the bridge suffered huge casualties in the first place.
The sharp blade made of magic-suppressing silver can easily suppress the incoming destructive magic, and can also easily split the human body and destroy the magic protection.
For a time, the attacking momentum of the Chasseur Regiment was forcibly blocked by these warriors armed with sharp blades and firearms.
“Damn it, why have times changed back again?”
Xiuge cursed secretly, because he saw that the Iris guard team had dispersed into two parts, and one of them swept directly in the direction of himself. Not far away, a stream-level mage became Their primary target, seeing that the head of the council mage was about to be chopped off on the spot, Shuge stood up decisively, holding the hound’s fang in his hand. Amidst the soul-stirring terrifying roar, a strange bullet was fired directly at He flew towards the Iris guard at the front.
After all, the power from the Dark Abyss Palace cannot be matched by ordinary magic.
The guard didn’t have time to react. His body and the small secret instrument he wore had been torn apart by the strange power of the palace hound. Only two arms and the magic-killing silver sword they held fell to the ground. land.
Such a strange and terrifying scene attracted almost everyone’s attention, and Xiuge naturally became the key target of these Iris guards.
Just when Shuge was ready to expose all his abilities to fight these terrible mage killers, a sound that made the members of the Jaeger Regiment feel comfortable, but shocked the Delan soldiers, suddenly came from the direction of the forest. .
It was so dense and coherent, as if a violent storm suddenly descended on this land, directly covering the Iris guards who were trying to destroy the attacking echelon of the Chasseur Regiment.
It was a rainstorm of bullets.
It was a terrifying picture painted by countless metals.
Under the fire of several Kalfan heavy machine guns that had pushed out of the forest and started their bloody work, these Iris guards who rushed into the Jasper Regiment’s attack route immediately paid a heavy price for Commander Deland’s wrong decision.
Times have changed after all.
