The place where Qianye pointed was a place where caves were particularly dense, and it was at the angle between two mountain walls. Howard was stunned, and said: "This place is indeed easier to defend, but it's a bit too dense. Isn't the long-range snipers of the demons just right?"
There are a large number of ultra-long-range shooters in the demon army, and almost all of them are capable of being snipers in the troops directly under the parliament. When the number of snipers exceeds a certain limit, the defenders in a narrow position are completely in a nightmare.
Based on the common sense that the vampires and demons have been hostile for many years, Qianye's formation like this is really taboo.
Not only Howard had doubts, but Yetong also looked at Qianye suspiciously.
General Qianye waved his hand and said: "The front of this area is basically an open area. There is no cover on the ground. It is impossible for the demons to build fortifications within our range. If they want to do this, of course it is best. But I don't think the commanders of the demons are that stupid, so their most likely response is to use the mountain walls on both sides as cover."
There are also some caves and cracks on the mountain walls extending naturally on both sides, but there are not as many defensive areas as Qianye advocated. Moreover, in front of the forces deployed in front of the blood race, the positions on both sides of the mountain walls are very limited, and there are not many troops that the demons can deploy.
However, Howard did not see the joy, but frowned and said: "If all the demons are equipped with elite snipers, then we will not have much advantage. Don't forget, the demons have an endless supply, and our strength is just Only those on the boat."
Howard's worries are not unreasonable. Although the people brought here by the Hall of Valor are all direct descendants of blood races, and their overall strength is much higher than that of ordinary blood races going to Yonglu, but their combat power is uneven, and it must not be as good as parliamentary forces. Even if there are advantages in terms of positions and local numbers, the real battle damage will not be as large as it appears on paper. Maybe there will be a one-to-one exchange.
Even if the vampires exchanged elite snipers from the demons, such an exchange would hardly bring victory, because this was not an ordinary holy war, and the demons would have a steady stream of reinforcements.
While Howard was silently calculating, Qianye said: "Here, we may have a one-to-one exchange ratio, roughly like this."
Howard frowned and said: "In this case, isn't our loss too great? If we deploy in the center, the loss may be smaller."
Qianye shook his head, "In the beginning it will indeed be smaller, but there are always times when fortresses on flat ground are breached. Once breached, the entire army will be wiped out. At that time, any battle loss ratio will be useless."
"With me personally stationed, they may not be able to break through the fortress."
Howard is not bragging, he is known as the dark gospel, the most powerful thing is to bless the power of the large army. Where he is there, the combat power of any vampire unit will increase by one level.
"Then they won't attack, but wait for follow-up troops to arrive."
"But we can't deploy all our forces on this mountain wall." Speaking of this, Howard suddenly understood, and said: "Are you going to fight against the demons?!"
"That's right." Qianye said calmly.
"How do you know that the demons will not be able to consume us?"
"In fact, in the Black Sun Valley, we had already tested the tolerance limit of various races to casualties. Not only demons, but also blood races."
Howard said: "Since you know the limits of our blood race's endurance, how can you be confident that they can persist to the end?"
"Because they have no way out, they can only fight to the last person. Even if they want to escape, there is no way for them to escape."
Howard thought for a long time, then nodded slowly, and went to summon the blood clan who had disembarked, and began to build positions and camps.
Yetong looked at the many blood races busy, sighed softly, and asked, "You still don't consider yourself a blood race, do you?"
"No, I am indeed a blood race now."
"Then why such a tactic?"
"Because we have no choice, we can only drive back the demons with the most fierce and cruel tactics."
"Then what if the demons refuse to retreat?"
"In that case, our clansmen might be wiped out. But the price paid by the demons is definitely very heavy, so heavy that they don't want to remember it."
Yetong sighed again, and said, "Well, if the demons don't retreat, then the bloodlines of four ancient clans will be severed by you and me."
Qianye said: "The demons will not fail to retreat. Zi Ning has already tested their bottom line in the Black Sun Valley."
When mentioning the Black Sun Valley, Yetong stopped talking and sighed in his heart.
At that time, she and Song Zining were enemies, each leading an army to fight to the death. Although she could let Wei Potian go and be merciful to Zhao Jundu's subordinates, she would never be polite to Song Zining. And Song Zining knew this when he thought about it, he guarded it tightly, and turned every fortress into a meat grinder, causing the dark races including the vampires to suffer so much that they could hardly breathe.
With Yetong's indifference and coldness at that time, seeing the corpses all over the mountains and plains, sometimes he would feel palpitations.
Every day, the human race transports several boats of corpses to the rear, and they also bear unbearable casualties. At the end of the war, the strong men of the dark race even wondered whether the human race was an intelligent race. Otherwise, how could there be an intelligent race that was not afraid of death at all
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the vampires would be ready to endure endless sacrifices and consumption just like the humans. The long-lived species that used to be tall, now have to roll in mud and blood like the humble short-lived species in their eyes, and compete with their opponents who can survive to the end. Perhaps the only thing the blood race can hope for now is that there are no servants to consume on Xiri's position.
After a day and a night, a fortress was built at the corner of the valley. Half of the fortress was built against the mountain, and the large and small holes on the mountain wall were transformed into firepower points, and the big trees protruding from the holes were natural shelters.
Howard is directing the Blood Race to dig in the mountainside, trying to connect the caves into a complete system. It's just that the rocks in the Xiri Continent are too strong. Although the direct descendants of these clans are not weak, this kind of work equivalent to digging on alloys also makes them extremely strenuous.
The excavation of the mountainside passage was extremely slow, and only half of the cave was dug through, and all the blood races heard the dragon ship's dragon chant.
The demons have arrived.
More than ten floating ships appeared above the valley, arranged in battle formation, and slowly advanced. On the deck of the leading flagship, stood a majestic old man of demon descent. The family crest on his chest clearly shows his identity.
The grand duke of Jelusheng, a famous demon descendant, is known as Brox, the moving wall.
His pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes fell on the dragon ship entrenched on the mountain wall. The Marquis of Glory, a demon descendant next to him, said: "That should be the Hall of Valor. It once shot down two Grand Duke ships in the outer void of the floating land."
Although Brox had only one Grand Duke ship in his hand, he had no fear, and said coldly: "The Hall of Valor is here, so Qianye must be here too. Send the order, the troops land, and attack from the ground. All warships, expand Battle formation, target... Hall of Valor!"
Seeing the attack of the demon fleet, the earth dragon would not tolerate such a provocation, and with a long howl, it brazenly greeted it!
Being able to command a huge fleet of demons, Grand Duke Brooks is naturally not an incompetent person. Knowing that the Hall of Valor has the record of knocking down the Grand Duke's ship, but still dare to launch an attack brazenly, naturally there is one's own support.
Grand Duke Brooks looked at the dragon ship taking off from the distant mountain wall, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "All ships are ready to attack!"
The Grand Duke's ship started to accelerate, and charged towards the Hall of Valor, its excellent acceleration performance made it leave all the battleships behind in a blink of an eye. In front of the Hall of Valor, a Grand Duke ship with a hull of more than 300 meters is like a young animal facing an adult animal. However, Grand Duke Brooks still charged at full speed, without any fear or retreat.
Qianye, who was standing on the skull of the dragon ship, didn't quite understand the actions of the demon-born grand duke's ship, but he welcomed it very much. At least the Battle of Floating Land has proved that Yong Ye's Grand Duke-class ships are not yet capable of rivaling the Hall of Valor.
Qianye drove the Hall of Valor to speed up, and at the same time the main gun began to replenish energy, preparing to bombard the opponent head-on.
Inside the demon warship, Grand Duke Brox suddenly turned his head and said, "Finally confirmed, is that the main gun you used to have?"
The demon duchess beside him was Lin Jiaer. She who reappeared at this moment has already been cultivated by the Duke, and I don't know what resources she has exchanged. She stared into the distance, the duke-level eyesight coupled with the natural perception bonus of the demons allowed her to see every detail of the fully charged main cannon in the dragon's mouth of the Hall of Valor.
She gritted her teeth and said, "That's right! It's Shen Lu! The main gun I've spent most of my life building is already comparable to the Grand Duke's ship. This guy sank my battleship and even robbed my Shen Lu! I must... "
"Okay, let's go back to your post." Grand Duke Brooks interrupted her, staring at the rapidly approaching Hall of Valor, his eyes became more and more fierce.
In the blink of an eye, the two air giants came into range, and the main guns roared almost simultaneously!
The main guns of Grand Duke Brooks's ship have obviously been strengthened, and the range is far beyond that of ordinary ships of the same level. And Shen Lu was installed on the Hall of Valor. After successive modifications, relying on the almost endless supply of force from the heart of the earth dragon, the power has also been greatly improved. At this moment, it is almost on par with the opponent.
The moment Shen Lu roared, Brooks' eyelids twitched, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched unnaturally. He took a step forward and slapped the console with his palm, and a storm of terrifying magic power rushed in.
The Grand Duke's ship suddenly made an impossible drift in the air, and moved a short distance laterally. This incredible maneuver gave way to the ship to avoid the most powerful angle of the main gun of the Hall of Valor. At the same time, a wall of black mist appeared right in front of the ship, and countless twisted and painful faces condensed on the wall.
The armor-piercing giant crossbow shot by Shen Lu hit this illusory wall, as if entering a quagmire, the speed slowed down significantly. When it pierced through the illusory wall, its power was greatly reduced. Most of the crossbow body was nailed to the outer wall of the Grand Duke's ship, failing to penetrate the armor.
An attack that cannot penetrate the outer wall will do very limited damage to the Grand Duke's ship, and this cannon is almost useless.
