Facts have proved that even in extremely difficult circumstances, as long as humans have sufficient mobilization and organization power, they can do great things in a short time.
With one day left before the war is about to begin, the entire East Territory is plunged into a tense and serious atmosphere. The busy crowd shuttles through the castle, and it is accompanied by an endless supply of logistic materials.
The curse, arrows, weapons, armors, horses and all kinds of long-reserved materials were completely opened at one time and distributed at will without reservation. Such behavior made the soldiers on the front line unprecedented excitement.
The tall knights tried to wear the new armor, and the conjurers with long staffs smiled and sorted the spell objects. It was obviously before the expedition, but the atmosphere was a bit happier than the Chinese New Year. Everyone was excited, and the reason was also true. Responded to that sentence.
I have never fought such a wealthy battle in my life.
The quality of equipment greatly affects the survival rate and is of vital importance to people on the battlefield, but for a long time, the scale of nearly three million people in the east has made it very difficult to replenish supplies.
For the time being, the winter when the mountains are covered by heavy snow is the spring and autumn period when the traffic is relatively convenient. If you want to change to a stronger new armor, you must go through two approvals and distribute it to the people who need it most. Like now, almost everyone has the situation. Never before.
In such a situation, it is no wonder that the soldiers cheered. On the heights of the fortress, Roja, who was looking at this scene, turned his head with a smile, and looked at the creator of this scene, who was also the actual controller of the coalition's supplies.
"Can the Sorovia family be able to sustain such a big deal this time?"
"It doesn't matter. In the past, the strict control of materials was done so that humans could have the ability to fight for a long time, but now it is no longer needed?"
Looking at the noise amidst the laughter and the soldiers choosing weapons, the girl with brown-red hair showed a lot of emotion, and then looked at the teenager next to her, while Luo Ya looked back in silence.
"In the next battle, if the human side fails, then even if there are more supplies, it will be useless, and money will be meaningless. At that time, Sorophia will be unable to recover even if he has more resources, so It's better to use it all this time."
"So that's the case, but even so, this scale is too big..."
Recalling the look of the long dragon in the carriage carrying weapons, the black-haired boy smiled bitterly, but the girl with brown-red hair unexpectedly said something that surprised him.
"Actually, for this war, the Sorovia family's funding chain has been broken."
"Huh? Wait!"
Hearing the news that Charlotte suddenly broke, Luo Ya was taken aback for a moment, and his face changed, and then he hurriedly asked.
"The capital chain is broken, this is not equivalent to..."
"Well, it's on the verge of bankruptcy, but the original funds have almost bottomed out, so it's a desperate move."
"...A gambling game?"
"Yes, if you win, then the human world that has completely solved a major foreign trouble will settle down, and the Sorovia family will get a generous return from this investment. If you lose, then it will be completely turned into dust. That's it. A gamble."
The girl who said this turned her head and looked at Loya, her emerald eyes gleaming.
"How? It's not like my style, right?"
"It's not like it, but... it's not incomprehensible."
"Huh? You mean?"
"Like the ancestor Isabella, you also have the blood of an adventurer who sails across the ocean. In that case, such a gamble is nothing unusual. Maybe it is because of this that you are so in love."
The black-haired boy smiled and thought of the fleet that sailed across the sea hundreds of years ago. Although after so many generations of inheritance, the Sorovia family has become the richest family in Shia, and the family members no longer sail. , But the adventurous spirit in his bones seems to be still there, and it is even bolder.
Thinking of this, Roja missed it in his heart, and Charlotte on the side also showed a fascinating expression.
"Ancestor Isabella? Maybe that's the case, but in fact, even if the Sorovia family goes bankrupt, I won't be exhausted."
"Huh? Is there any other player?"
"Of course, such as letting the debtor take charge of my life, especially the large lender, don't you think, Mr. Luoya?"
"Puff, is that so?"
Hearing Charlotte's reminder, Luo Ya froze for a while and couldn't help laughing, while the brown-red-haired girl smiled and pursued the victory.
"Thirty-one thousand four thousand five hundred gold coins, still without interest. This is the highest among the personal loans in Sorovia's family now. If you don't care about me, I will be wandering on the streets."
"Of course, it's just not because of this. After all, after the Sorovia Chamber of Commerce closed, my loan disappeared."
"Do you still want to go to the trouble? When did Mr. Roya be so mean?"
"No, it's not a scumbag, I just want to change my identity to help you, such as... as your fiancé."
The black-haired boy who said this stretched out his hand and held Charlotte's palm, while the brown-red-haired girl opened her eyes slightly, and then puffed up her face a little bit angry.
"My dear is really...slick."
"Haha, I take it as a compliment, after all, so much money, I really don't have to pay it back."
"Well, how about selling it? I'll count more money."
"Why buy something that has already been obtained?"
Gently hugging the brown-red haired girl, the boy was talking while blowing into the small ears, while Charlotte, who felt the heat, dodges with a blushing face, sees Roya who succeeded in the counterattack. Taking a step back, the girl turned her head shyly while covering her ears.
"Forget it, stop playing, the time is almost up."
"Are you going to be promoted?"
"Um."
Hearing Roja's question, Charlotte nodded slightly, her face became a little calmer, Roja lowered his eyes slightly, and fell silent.
This time he was promoted to Source Level 1. Although Roja on Noelle was also worried, Miss Angel's strength and strength all the time made Roja believe that she could overcome the difficulties, but Charlotte on the other side was different.
In fact, Roja and Charlotte did not spend much time fighting together. If you calculate carefully, the last time was in the academy period. After all, as the eldest lady of Sorovia’s family, Charlotte’s occasions for entering and leaving are often court dances and There is no need to fight in a private estate.
Noelle needs to eradicate evil, but Charlotte's life only feels noble and elegant. Such an impression is that Roja is not worried about it.
Of course, the black-haired boy also knew that Charlotte's strength has improved by leaps and bounds since he came to the front line, and his military exploits have also been outstanding, but even so, it is difficult to rest assured, it feels like sending his sweet wife at home to the battlefield every day.
"Are you ready for promotion?"
"Well, Rosse has prepared adequately. The time is calculated by [The Commander]. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Well, to be honest, I don't want you to take risks."
"That won't work, I have to be with my dear, and...Rosé also needs a source level 1."
Looking at the girl with a serious face, Roja could only sigh and nod his head. After thinking for a moment, he took a step forward, bit her lips and kissed Charlotte's lips.
The sudden action caught the red-brown girl by surprise, but did not resist, and as the lips of the two overlapped, a stream of heat also poured into the girl's body.
"Honey, is this?"
"My blood, with some Shia's strength, should be somewhat helpful for promotion."
"It turned out to be so, thank you, dear."
"If you want to thank you, how about you come back?"
"oh, I understand now."
Feeling the strange feeling in her body, Charlotte nodded slightly, and said goodbye to Roja with a reluctant expression on her face. Soon after the two separated, the entire city fortress issued a notice that the city fortress was temporarily closed, and the promotion of the two officially began.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------
The promotion of Noelle and Charlotte is a major event for the human side. After all, even in ancient times, the two kings of races are definitely not a force that can be ignored, and for Roja, this is even more important. The thing he cared about most made the young man feel a little uneasy.
But fortunately, a lot of work ensued, making Roja confused for a while, and the most important thing was the formulation of tactics and the selection of personnel.
Although the scale of this battle is huge, and nearly three million humans will come out, but its real purpose is to send Roja into the bottomless abyss, taking advantage of the seal and [Shia's Scepter]. At this moment of effect, absorb the power of the savior and defeat it.
In fact, judging from the battle between humans and the fallen in recent days, the strength of the fallen is far superior to that of the aliens, that is to say, even with the unprecedented strength of nearly three million people, relying on the nearly one million fallen ones in the imperial capital. Still has great advantages.
Such a situation is destined that humans cannot be pushed to the imperial capital equally. That is to say, Roja must, like Lucas, rush into it with small elite troops without disturbing the fallen outside the imperial capital, while the human army will It's a feint to attract attention.
This tactic is undoubtedly the most suitable and has the highest success rate. It is equivalent to the reverse operation of the Scorched Earth Campaign to some extent, but this time the army serving as a sharp knife has only a thousand people after discussion.
Although judging from the scale of the imperial capital, even if a thousand people were thrown into it, no shadows could be found, but after several days of emergency tests, the expert team has come to a conclusion that a team of more than one thousand people may attract the attention of the fallen. Will rise sharply.
For this reason, the number of the team is limited. In order to allow Roja to enter the abyss smoothly, these thousand people must be carefully selected, and the first choice is naturally Wilhelmina and others.
Looking at the girl in armor on the opposite side of the table, Roja showed a serious expression on his face, thinking for a moment and couldn't help but persuade.
"Minna, you can actually stay in the human army. Leaders are also needed here."
"Maybe it is true, but that is not where I should be. I am your knight, so naturally I want to be by your side."
"... What if I ask you to stay behind."
"Then I will fight on the front line first, and then chase it by myself."
Looking at the girl who said this seriously, Luo Ya's face showed a helpless expression, and the thought of persuasion stopped. After thinking for a while, the boy turned to ask another thing.
"Minna, that... is your heart okay?"
"Well, after I came back, the country of knights did a lot of checks for me, and the results displayed were not problematic, but they were in better condition than before."
"That's it, that's good."
Hearing Wilhelmina's words, Roja couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and once again confirmed the correctness of his previous decision.
[Indestructible Body] This skill brings a huge bonus to Roja's physical abilities, even if it is a part of the body, it also strengthens Wilhelmina's physique a lot, and this kind of result is undoubtedly Roja's favorite need.
"Minna, you can go with me this time, but make sure that you can't do anything dangerous."
"On this point, I can assure you."
"No, it's not just this one request, it's not going to help me block attacks and things like hurting myself because of me."
"..."
Hearing Luo Ya's further request, the girl with gray and blue hair fell into silence, showing an expression that he obviously didn't want to execute. However, Luo Ya did not accommodate and discuss this.
The last time I saw Wilhelmina dying because of her serious injury, Roja felt indescribable, as if everything was meaningless, and the feeling of loss and loss made the black-haired boy unforgettable in his lifetime.
"I don't want to experience the feeling at that time anymore, so Minna, can you promise me?"
"...I understand, in fact, my thinking was the same at the time."
"what?"
"I don't want to leave. How can I just die like that when I just said my heart? Including now, obviously we have just started, no matter what, I don't want to end like this."
Looking up at the black-haired boy, Wilhelmina’s orange pupils were filled with unquenchable enthusiasm, and Luo Ya was taken aback when he saw this, and then the expression on his face became gentle, nodded as an answer. Also made up my mind again.
Whether it is for Wilhelmina, or for his family and friends, soldiers who are about to enter an unprecedented battle, Roja must defeat the enemy, and from a more distant time and space, defeating the savior and passing through the crisis of Nirvana rebirth, this is also The long-cherished wish of the Akate family for thousands of years.
After thinking of this, Roja felt that the responsibilities on him nowadays were great, and after confirming the girl's thoughts, Roja had to accept the decision of her peers.
"Then, let us two people with our ancestors' wishes, witness that moment together."
Gently holding Wilhelmina's palm, the black-haired boy and the knight guarding him looked at each other, both of them smiled, and the final battle finally arrived with the passage of time.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
In the early morning of the next day, Roja woke up to the sound of the city's curse that shook the earth.
When the first rays of sunlight hit the earth, the prelude to the decisive battle between mankind and the savior has been quietly played. Dozens of castles and fortresses across the east at the same time launched large-scale long-range strikes against the fallen on the distant plains, which completely ignited This silent war for three days.
Under the bombardment of human spells, wandering around on the plains, the already ready to move the fallen group began a large-scale offensive, and this also marked the [Blade Battle], the first stage of the largest human battle against the savior. It has been implemented smoothly.
The blade is the sharpest part of a weapon, and it is also the key to determining the victory or defeat in the desperate battle. The blade of this battle is now the Thousand-man team led by Roja. It is also because of this. The name of the battle is At the joint meeting, it was formally selected as "Blade", and it was divided into three stages in general.
The first stage is a sniper war and a city defense war throughout the day.
Although the Tucker Plain is vast, due to the curse power, most of the fallen people are concentrated between the Eastern Realm and the imperial capital, and one of the greatest advantages of mankind facing the fallen is the city defense.
When the enemy is strong and we are weak, the city fortress that has stood for a thousand years in the East is the best weapon. Failure to use this will inevitably cause great losses. Because of this, the entire battle was started by mankind to lure the enemy.
Under the roar of the city's curse, the torrent of light that illuminates the sky turned into countless arrows raining towards the distance. The violent fluctuations of curse power immediately attracted the attention of thousands of fallen people on the plain. On the ground, the mixed forces of Rosse and the Kingdom of Knights filed out to lure the enemy into attacking the city.
The savior is the existence of the sun that transcends the gods in ancient times. Even in the crazy now, his family members will also get the sun's bonus, and because of this, the fighting power of the fallen group during the day is higher than that of the night.
[Blade Battle] The first stage of the [Blade Battle] starts at dawn and ends at dark. During this period, humans will stick to the city and try to eliminate the enemy's vitality at any cost. At night, the second phase of the battle began.
In the second stage of the battle, the human coalition forces across the entire east will launch a counterattack at the same time. They will go deep into the plains under the night and moon and start field battles with weak enemies, constantly approaching the huge imperial capital in the distance. In this process, the third battle will be The stage will also look for opportunities to start.
In the third stage, Roja and others will set off under the blessing of the human coalition forces to pierce the enemy's heart as a sharp blade, return to the place of mankind a thousand years ago, open up a new road that has never been seen before, and draw an end to everything. .
"boom!"
Amidst the roar of the city’s curse, Roja climbed to the top of the city and looked from top to bottom. The entire city wall was already lined with soldiers, and various guards had been arranged. In the distance, the cavalry of the country of knights We are rushing back with Rosette's shooters.
On the distant horizon, a densely packed army forming a black line is attacking towards the city. Although the fallen thousand years ago have lost their weapons and reason, their strength is still strong.
On the plain, thousands of steaming black curses are linked together to form black clouds, making the sky look particularly gloomy, while on the other side, the human side is silent.
I have to say that even the veteran warriors who have fought against aliens in the past have never seen such an aura, but the people on the walls do not shrink even though they are afraid, because they believe that the power of civilization is more tenacious, and in sufficient supplies Under the supply, the light of the city fortification curse also lit up again.
The shining light is like a galaxy, blasting and killing the fallen who bathed in sunlight but exuding evil, and what follows is the baptism of the legionary spell and the rain of arrows.
Under such a blow, a large number of fallen ones were wiped out in ashes a thousand years ago. However, some powerful monsters launched a counterattack. The conjurer holding a withered wood staff launched a long-range attack, and the flesh and blood of the tall ancient knight exuded black and red. The magical power of, can rush up to the city wall with a few jumps from the ground.
Since then, the bloody battle between the two sides has begun. Humans have fully defended with the advantages of numbers and equipment, while the Fallen have launched endless attacks from the depths of the plain. The battle between the two sides began in the early morning and has not stopped since.
Roja, Liliane, and Wilhelmina did not participate in this battle. They did not want to participate in the battle. They were not allowed to participate in the battle. Instead, they were replaced by a few familiar ones. Figure.
Katia Akat, Kain Hezkrit, Bruce Sorovia, several famous masters of the old generation of Source Level 2 have climbed to the top of the city and joined the ranks of the city defense to help maintain the front line. The King of Source Level 1 must save his strength and wait for the night to come.
"You are the main force of this battle, and also the future and hope of mankind. Now is not the time for your debut. Your actions need to strike a thunderous blow at the most critical moment."
Looking at the black-haired boy, Kadia left such words and left, and Luoya could only accept his decision, because he knew Kadia was right.
The clash of swords and the roar of curses continued, while in the city fort, Roja was thinking about everything silently, and was familiar with all his powers.
In fact, until now, Roja has not been able to determine how many enemies he will face. The life and death of Lucas, who competes with Shia’s Scepter, is unknown for the time being. Among the believers of the Savior, there is also uncertainty. The state is the [collector] who has been causing trouble for Roja before.
After returning from the historical fragments, Roja discovered a problem, that is, the [collector], who has always been called his number one enemy, suddenly disappeared. Neither the Holy See nor the information network of Rosette have ever obtained his A little news.
It can be said that Roja is deeply disturbed, especially after knowing the truth about the Second Era a thousand years ago.
If the Second Era Ancient Austin Empire was really destroyed because of the large-scale pollution caused by the detonation of the [Beast God’s Egg], if the savior really did not change as Caroline said, then Roja can think of a planner There is only one, and that is the leader of the fallen thousand years ago-[collector].
If everything was really planned by him, how could he not do anything on the eve of the recovery of the savior
Thinking of this, Roja became more vigilant in his heart, and with the passage of time, the entire daytime battle on the human side came to an end. As night fell, the king of the older generation source level 1 finally took action.
Holy See, John, Speaker of the Kingdom of Scholars, Antonio, King Friedrich of the Kingdom of Knights, King of the Austin Empire, Leighton, and Estherid, who has recently awakened. The five kings of races took action at the same time to degenerate the rest. They are cleaned up at once.
The holy light falling from the sky, the changing thunder fire, the irresistible slash, and the roaring thunder and colorful rays of light, various spells crisscross the earth and bring death to the enemy, and the human army also begins. Arrayed out of town.
Layton, who saw Roya again, didn’t say much, but patted him on the shoulder and smiled at the younger generation. In his opinion, this is the responsibility that Roy’s descendants must bear, and it also represents the previous year. He didn't misunderstand the person, and on the other side, Roja greeted him.
"Master Layton, you have worked hard."
"No, it's just clearing the roadblocks. It's up to you afterwards."
The old man who said this returned to the army after greeting Lilian, while on the other side, Friedrich was admonishing Wilhelmina, and Estherid was discussing something with Antonio.
The members of the golden generation gathered together rarely, from Paul, Jelock to Serena, Teresa, more than a dozen generals each led one by one before Roja’s team of thousands, and they saluted gently. On behalf of the various legions, pay tribute to the team that dared to rush into the enemy's heart.
On the Roja side, the Thousand-member Legion composed of elites from the five nations responded with a military salute and sent blessings to the Legion in front of him.
Watching the legions passing by and rushing to the battlefield, the soldiers were excited, Roja's face was calm, and he stood quietly at the top of the city after sending away relatives and friends, looking at the city as if waiting for something, and following He watched for a long time, and two violent spell power fluctuations finally broke out and rose to the sky.
Looking at the light that rushed into the sky, Luo Ya was greatly relieved, and the most critical second and third parts of the [Blade Battle] officially began with the appearance of this curse power.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
The successful promotion of Noelle and Charlotte is unprecedented good news for mankind. The presence of two more race kings in front of the battle greatly boosted morale and made Roja finally at ease. The second stage The battle also officially began with this.
Just like during the Scorched Earth battle, in order to be able to contain the enemy as much as possible, nearly three million humans from the entire eastern frontline came out and attacked the nearby fallen group. This is the core content of the second phase of the battle. The time is set at midnight.
On the plain of the night, after a few hours of mobilization, with the king of the older generation of races as the vanguard, hundreds of thousands of troops as the main force swiftly moved forward on the fairly clean plain that had been cleared after a day of fierce fighting. At the point where the border of the imperial capital can be seen clearly.
When the ancient human capital appeared at the end of the horizon a thousand years ago, even warriors who were dedicated to killing the enemy could not help but be shocked by its scale, followed by a feeling of awe.
The pinnacle of human civilization is so brilliant.
Such a sigh almost appeared in everyone's hearts, but it was a pity that no one could continue to approach, because here is the limit of progress.
During the previous investigations, the senior leaders of the coalition army knew that with the distance to the imperial capital as the center, the number of fallen people within this range would increase sharply, and the scale of the enemy before it can be said to confirm the accuracy of this intelligence. .
Under the moonlit night, countless black shadows wandered the plains. Unlike the fallen ones during the day, many fallen ones here have been distorted and deformed, unlike humans, and even a giant-like meat mountain stands in the distance.
The ancient conjurers were rotten and half-human and half-ghosts, and the knights' bodies mutated into different and terrifying looks. Such a hell-like situation matched the dark night, and the people who saw it rose from the heart. Cold, but even so, even if the fear is hard to conceal, the soldiers still gritted their teeth and clung to their posts.
Everyone knows that the enemy in front of him is not only his own enemy, but also the enemy of many relatives and friends in the distant human world behind him. If people with power now do not advance, what awaits them is likely to be a disaster for the entire race.
The countless heroes for thousands of years are the continuation of the race in exchange for fearlessness and sacrifice, and now is no exception. They are afraid, but they can fight more. They are not invincible, but they will never shrink.
The soldiers clenching their teeth tightened their bodies, while on the other side, thousands of conjurers worked together under the leadership of Antonio, sensing the pulsation of space.
Sending the elite of a thousand people and the six source-level 1 including Roja, Alisa, Noelle, Charlotte, Liliane, and Wilhelmina into the imperial capital, this is the reason why mankind has advanced so far. Under the control of Antonio, a veteran master of space spells, the strong spell power has also surrounded Roja and others.
It's just as expected, everything won't go so smoothly.
When the fluctuation of the space spell appeared, the concentration of the curse power near the imperial capital suddenly increased, and the ground surged on the plain, and there were huge black monsters lurking underground.
[The Egg of the Beast God], the condensate of this ancient savior's power felt the crisis, rising from the earth to meet the enemy, the terrifying huge body was like a mountain peak under the moonlight, and the weird beasts roared through. In the plains, the enormous pressure made it difficult for the soldiers to move.
Looking at these monsters in horror, there was a heart-shattering silence on the battlefield. However, just as the human army was desperate, a silver mist suddenly appeared from the sky, and then turned into six-colored clouds.
The red of the flame, the blue and white of the frost, the black of the death curse, the orange of the aurora, the silvery white of the mist, the dusk of the wind and haze, six squirming behemoths come from the sky, releasing unimaginable fluctuations of curse power and turning into a deterrent to the sky. The Quartet also brings Shia's power to the world, but this time, they are on the side of mankind.
Looking at the black mountains on the ground, six disasters from ancient times roared in. The ear-piercing roars and fearsome coercion disappeared in an instant, replaced by roar and light, and on the other side, space spells. It has also shined brightly.
