A strange sharp whistling sound came faintly, and after a moment's delay Wales heard a loud thunderous noise on the plains to the south.
This is a sound that has never appeared in previous battles, and it is a movement that has never been made by those cluster giants.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the loud noise, but he could only vaguely see a huge cloud of smoke rising into the sky, and near the area where the smoke rose, the army of crystal clusters seemed to be in chaos.
It is said that the magic weapon made by the Cecilians can launch an attack more than ten kilometers away, and project a powerful explosive device to an accurate position. Before the "sky fire" comes, the sharp whistling sound is its last Notable features.
Reinforcements are entering the field - but they are far away.
All the holy light barriers have been completely shattered, and the light particles scattered in the air fluttered and scattered on the city wall. With the light particles falling, the arc from the crystal cluster legion began to sweep the city wall that had lost all protection, and the knight with broken armor They stepped forward with huge shields, filling the gaps in the city wall, while the bloodied soldiers manipulated all the trebuchets—with or without magic power—to start the final counterattack.
The brilliance of the huge sun pierced through the clouds, and sprinkled a brilliant brilliance. The morning glow pouring down from the clouds coated this ancient king's capital with a layer of gold. Everything—the bloody flag, the cracked armor, the shining The cold spears, huge trebuchets and ballistas, and the frenzy of crystal clusters surrounding the capital all shone brightly under the sunlight.
"Our reinforcements have begun to attack!!" On the city wall, a blood-soaked knight raised Ansu's king flag high, waving it vigorously while shouting loudly, "Hold on till the end..."
A sharp crystal spike flew from the edge of the city wall, piercing the knight's chest. On the wall, a hideous and swollen monster continued to climb upwards.
The Welsh sword swung across, and the invisible shock wave cut off the monster's body. He took over the falling king's flag, and held it up high: "Stick to the line of defense!!"
"Stick to the line of defense!!"
"Stick to the line of defense!!"
More and more whistling sounds came from afar, and more shock clouds began to emerge at the end of the southern plain, but the battlefield of this siege battle was so vast that the boundless crystal cluster monsters almost covered the entire San Souni So much so that even if reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, it may take several hours to advance to the city wall, and the irrational crystal cluster legion will certainly not stop attacking during this process.
Gawain and Byron are also very aware of this.
The armored griffin flew across the sky, bringing the latest information on the capital's defense line. On the bridge of the Pioneer, which is also the command center of this battle, Byron is analyzing the situation on the front line: "... San Sunil The big shield has collapsed, and the layer of holy light barrier that Sonia observed has also collapsed. Now they are relying on the enchanted city wall, knights, and soldiers to maintain their defense. The area where the enemy is densest is near the east wall of the capital, but It was outside the range of the Trailblazer's main guns."
Gawain looked at the battle map in front of him, but the satellite's bird's-eye view image appeared in his mind: "A line of attack was bombed between the south of San Sunil and the Gorgon River, and the ground troops entered from here, and then the Build an artillery position in the south of the eastern wall, and the firepower coordination of the fleet and ground forces can separate those monsters. As long as they can withstand their counterattack, the battlefield will be controlled."
"But the counterattack of those monsters may be very violent... After all, they have lost even the most basic concept of 'stop loss', and they will not stop until they die."
"This is exactly our purpose—to reduce the number of crystal cluster legions near San Sunil in the shortest possible time. As long as their numerical advantage in the area is lost, their threat to the royal capital will be quickly reduced— The city wall of Saint-Sunil has self-healing ability, as long as the damage suffered is lower than its repairing speed, it will be safe," Gao Wen said unhurriedly, "As for whether the ground troops can withstand Pressure... You should trust the power of armored clusters, when the superiority of firepower is enough, numbers are meaningless—and I will personally command the ground troops, don't worry."
"... I understand, I will ensure the fire support here to ensure that your journey is smooth."
Ten minutes later, Gawain left the bridge, ready to go ashore.
He walked towards the side of the Pioneer, and Amber's figure appeared beside him: "Hey, hey, you really led the army to charge—"
Gao Wen didn't turn his head back: "What, is there a problem?"
"Don't forget how you died in your previous life. Today's scene is too similar to the day you died in battle described in the story. Don't you have a psychological shadow?" Amber continued to bb, "Or did you Claiming to have a psychological shadow on this matter is a lie... "
Gao Wen finally turned his head to look at Amber, and said casually: "Then the main purpose of you following me is to perform a digging of a grave on the spot after I die?"
"...That's not true, I'm still your guard in name..."
"Then stop talking nonsense and keep up quietly—this kind of battlefield requires a scout like you who is sharp and good at saving lives."
"Oh—then you must not die. If you die, I will go back and explain it to Hedi Rebecca and the others..."
"Shut up."
When the steel tracks began to crush the ground, and the chariot troops drove towards the battlefield accompanied by mechanical tremors, Gawain's mood had completely calmed down.
Amber was not by his side, but he could sense that the breath of the half-elf was wandering within a hundred meters nearby—she was shuttling between the real world and the shadow world, observing the surrounding environment, observing the Is there any energy reverberation left after the activities of the cluster giants in the Shadow Realm to confirm the possible movements of the enemies.
In the sky, armored griffins and giant eagle knights are scouting the entire battlefield, guiding the ground troops forward while providing fire guidance for the fleet on the Gorgon River.
On the Gorgon River, the battleship headed by the Pioneer is fine-tuning its main guns, and is about to launch the next round of fire support.
Gawain who was sitting in the command vehicle exhaled slightly.
Amber said one thing wrong—seven hundred years ago, when his body died in battle, how could the situation be the same as it is today.
…
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the ground troops advanced to a high ground in the southeast of San Sunil as planned. In the face of the superior firepower of the tank cluster, the advantages established by the crystal cluster corps relying on their large numbers disappeared as Gawain said. Survival—The crystal cluster monsters launched continuous counterattacks driven by instinct, but in the end they were all buried on the scorched battlefield by overwhelming shells and burning flames, and a long-range artillery position was quickly established to suppress Sansuni Southeastern area of Seoul.
With the artillery support extending from the Gorgon River, coupled with the high ground fire points established by the ground troops, the Cecil Legion cut into the battlefield obliquely like a blazing saber. It tore apart the position of the Crystal Cluster Legion and began to give The out-of-control monster of destruction bleeds.
Wales noticed subtle changes on the battlefield.
Sooner than he expected, the crystal cluster army's attack on the capital weakened.
The soldiers fighting may not have time to take into account the overall changes on the battlefield, and the knights with limited abilities can only pay attention to the city walls they are in charge of. However, Wales, who is always paying attention to all the conditions of the entire defense line, has not missed the slight changes in this situation—from the crystal cluster The attack density of the legion is decreasing, and the enchanted barriers in some areas of the southern city wall no longer continue to disintegrate, and have even turned into a state of stalemate between repair and damage.
The number of those monsters is decreasing, and their attack focus is gradually shifting.
Wales turned his gaze to the southern plains, but he still couldn't see the specific location of Cecil's army—all he could see was the continuous smoke and explosion flashes, and those explosion flashes were not too far away from the city wall, but The person who launched the attack remains out of sight.
The only thing that is certain is that the power of those explosions is really astonishing, it is no exaggeration to destroy landslides.
In this way, the Cecilians used their powerful long-range force to complete the cutting of the battlefield, and judging from the signs of battle in the distance, they must have made very bold shifts and advances in the process of executing this cutting.
The reinforcements are indeed still far away, but their strength has crossed the barrier of space and projected to the defense line of the capital.
In the sky, the armored griffins and giant eagles of the Cecilians passed over the battlefield for the third time, and the actions of those flying units were clearly closely related to the battle on the ground.
A lot of information about the southern border emerged in Wales' mind - about the magic weapons they used, about the weapons purchased by the Royal Army in the southern border, and about some details of the southern unification war.
There are many things that cannot be seen from intelligence, and only by personal contact—even from a distance—can one realize the truth behind these intelligences.
Wales has been thinking about everything about the southern border for a long time, but the intelligence related to the military field has always been full of mysteries. He tried his best to use his talent in intelligence analysis to outline a part of the face of the army, but he always Due to the lack of key information, he failed to complete the final summary. At this moment, after seeing something with his own eyes, the fog in his mind suddenly cleared up.
"... It seems that this is their way of fighting... Advantageous long-range weapons, intensive attack, fast transfer, long-distance penetration... And this also requires the cooperation of large armies and high-speed transmission of information... It should not be the communication technique, which is too demanding. High... the "Magic Network Communication" mentioned by Grand Duke Victoria? In addition, they must have established a more efficient command system to control the large number of units distributed across the battlefield... What will it be like?"
Wales looked into the distance, and he found that there were too many things he couldn't understand. He couldn't understand how the Cecilians managed to maintain such a large-scale remote communication. He couldn't imagine how their command system worked. He couldn't imagine how their logistics, equipment, and quality of soldiers were built, and after realizing that he had so many things that were unimaginable, the new king of Ansu laughed instead.
The "factory reform" carried out in the city of Saint-Sunil was just a poor imitation after all, and the town management plan tried out in the Western Territory and the fiefdoms directly under the royal family only learned the superficiality. The combination of the flaws of the old school and the stubborn resistance of the old school led to the miscarriage of all this, but in the end, the new era came.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's attack is weakening," came the slightly tired voice of the Duke of Baldwin Franklin from the side. The Duke of the Western Territory had bloodshot eyes, but his tone was still calm and forceful, "The Cecilians have occupied On the high ground south of the eastern wall, the attack of those cluster monsters was blocked."
Wales nodded slightly: "Saint Sunil survived."
"Yes, the king has survived," said the Duke of the West Region.
"I should get ready to meet Duke Cecil."
Baldwin Franklin looked at Wales quietly, and there was no doubt in his bloodshot eyes. He seemed to have guessed some clues from the many actions of the new king these days, but in the end he didn't say anything.
