The Sixth Army, which officially started the siege, showed extremely high discipline and quality.
If you really want to talk about the reason why the border guards were able to get unanimous praise from within the Kingdom Army, it was purely based on their solid record. Can't help but be unconvinced by others.
However, the equipment is not better than that of the regular army, and the individual qualities of the soldiers trained are not much superior. How can they achieve the same record as the regular army, and sometimes even better
Just one reason: observe discipline, not be afraid of death, and dare to work hard.
For these three reasons, of course there is no shortage of regular legions, but, like the Kingdom Guards Legion or the Fourth Legion, where the proportion of arms produced by the system in the legion is not large, in terms of these three points, do It's really not as good as Paran's troops.
And when the border guards have completed the regular adaptation, the equipment and treatment have all come up, and the combat power will naturally become stronger.
It can be said that Palan's Sixth Army is probably stronger than the King's Guards and Fourth Army in terms of overall strength.
They rushed forward to attack the not-so-tall city wall of Blackwood City, and the artillery formation kept firing from behind. The two high-level mages, Apus and Miller, led a squadron of mages, and continued to provide magic support.
At the same time, in the army formation, there are also two squadron chaplains who are providing medical services for the army.
Of course, it is impossible for the precious divine magic casters to go directly to the front line of battle. They will wait for some medical soldiers in the rear, and after judgment, drag back some soldiers who can be saved. The priests then healed with divine spells.
It may not be realistic for soldiers who have been treated to return to the battlefield immediately. After all, although priests have this ability, there are too many soldiers to be treated. It is impossible for them to waste all the precious magic power on individual soldiers. . Their treatment is usually limited to stabilizing the injury, and there is no danger of life or disability, so the soldiers are free to recover.
This is why Schindler's army obviously suffered a lot of casualties, but was able to replenish the lost troops at a fairly fast speed after the war. In addition to the relatively strong ability to mobilize for war, and the ability to quickly recruit, train and replenish the source of troops, these wounded soldiers return to the army after treatment, which is also a very important source of soldiers.
Moreover, the value of these returning veterans is obviously much higher than that of recruits. As long as there is no disability, on the battlefield, one veteran is worth several recruits, and it is definitely not a bragging.
Therefore, with much less worries, the Sixth Army launched a rather fierce offensive.
On the defense line of Blackwood City, a large number of soldiers leaned on the city wall and engaged in a very cruel battle with the soldiers of the Sixth Army. Especially those demons with purple lines on their faces and who are obviously stronger than ordinary humans. They are the formidable enemies that the Schindlers have to face.
Under the cover of spells, most of the soldiers of the Sixth Legion who rushed to the top of the city several times were beaten back by these demons.
However, even though Palan's army experienced failure after failure during the morning of the 29th, he continued to order soldiers and launched new offensives again and again.
Finally, before lunch, the Sixth Army captured the head and gates.
Seeing such a scene, Palan was quite excited: This is a very good performance. With the help of the city defense, the rebel army could not hold back after only a long time in the onslaught of the Sixth Army. Then after losing the city defense, it may be even more difficult for them to resist their own attacks in the subsequent battles.
However, while he was excited, he also had some murmurs in his heart.
To capture the top of Blackwood City, the Sixth Army paid less than a thousand casualties, wiped out more than a thousand enemies, and captured the top of the city at the same time.
Such a price is much less than he imagined.
Originally, he felt that if the enemy had a dark wizard and more than 30 black wizards and warlocks, the number of casualties would have to be at least three to five times the current number to win the war.
The low number of casualties is of course a good thing. However, this matter cannot be looked at so simply. During the siege, the Schindlers faced significantly less resistance than previously expected. The most concentrated expression is that the enemy's very powerful magic support as expected does not exist at all.
Indeed, during the siege, the Sixth Army ran into some magic troubles. About a dozen powerful sorcerers used evil methods at the top of the city, causing a certain number of casualties to the legion soldiers. However, when Master Miller led a team of mages and launched a targeted attack on the magicians on the top of the city, this problem was basically solved. When attacking, it still maintains the lethality against ordinary soldiers.
That's it for the problem, but it's too easy.
What about the sixteenth-level Dark Mage mentioned in Firmino's information? If, in the wave of offensive that just hit the top of the city, the opponent had a sixteenth-level archmage, I am afraid that throwing down one or two high-level spells would be enough to knock down the warriors of the Sixth Legion.
In other words, if the local archmage was present, even if Blackwood City could be conquered in the end, the price the Sixth Army would have to pay would be much higher than it is now. Not only in terms of time, it is estimated that it will be delayed until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even later, and the number of casualties of soldiers is estimated to increase by more than three times.
So, here comes the question: what about the dark archmage called 'Death Eye'
Logically speaking, this archmage should be the most important weapon before they transform a large number of people into demons, right? Why haven't we seen him come out until now
Palan's first reaction was that there was a conspiracy.
Therefore, under his order, the troops marching into the interior of Blackwood City were much more cautious and did not rush forward.
However, until his troops wiped out all the resistance forces in Blackwood City, he did not see the rumored sixteenth-level archmage, other spellcasters, and that squadron of dark warriors.
At the same time, his troops searched the whole city, but did not find Earl Ekla and important members of the Sade family, only some minor nobles were captured.
