Frost Snow City, Lord's Castle, Battle Hall.
Constance stood in front of a huge combat sand table. Beside her was Grand Duke Owen who had just received a new round of Leah's information. , there is no one else in the hall.
The officers commanding the frontline battles are still in the south at the moment, it is impossible for them to rush back to attend this informal meeting, and Constance was in the two places at the same time through the way of consciousness transmission, so she undertook the task of exchanging information between the two places .
"The current main battle area is in this area," Constance bent down, pointing at the sand table with her rapier, which is the edge of the ice and snow land in the north, the border between the six provinces in the north and the central part of the empire, where There are no mountains and mountains, and the terrain is mostly hills and small-scale plains, which are not considered advantageous areas for both attackers and defenders. "The Northern Army has built fortifications in these areas, but they encountered great resistance to continue to advance—our The front line has even retreated recently. At first we relied on surprise attacks to gain the upper hand, but after breaking into the central region, we encountered crazy counterattacks from the Black Sword Knights and Imperial Corps, and now there are constantly mutated monster armies. To be honest, the situation Very pessimistic."
"The good news is that the Knights of the Black Sword cannot concentrate all their energy on us," Grand Duke Owen pointed to the south of the sand table, "The Earl of Nahum in the south has officially raised his troops to respond to us with Huishan City as a base, and the empire has to send A considerable part of the knights are assigned to the south to deal with the army of Gray Mountain City."
"North-south attack sounds like a good situation, but the real situation is not easy at all," Constance said seriously, "The combat power of the mutated Black Sword Knight is far beyond imagination, and ordinary soldiers need to rely on crowd tactics to hold them back , and only the Knights of the Broken Sword can confront it head-on, but the number of the Knights of the Broken Sword is far less than that of the Black Sword Knights. In the face of the double gap in quality and quantity, it is not easy for us to gain a firm foothold, let alone attack The imperial capital is over."
"And there are new reports recently that mutated monsters also appeared among the ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Corps." Grand Duke Owen added beside him.
"The phenomenon of mutation is not limited to the Black Sword Knight anymore..." Vivienne frowned, "It is spreading to ordinary people..."
"In every era of reincarnation, 'annihilation' will always erode the most powerful leader and turn his country into his minions..." Leah folded her arms, "so that His Majesty Brentin is this time's annihilation Carrier, just knock him down and the problem is solved, right?"
Constance raised her eyelids, and her tone was cold: "Didn't you hear? Now our situation is impossible to move forward. Indeed, as you said, we can win if we capture the imperial capital, but now we can't even enter the central region go."
"The White City Federation can provide support," Charlemagne said suddenly, "Although there is a barrier in the world, the White City Federation has the largest fleet of civilian airships, which can be used as temporary troop carriers, and some people can be sent over to some extent. —We have already contacted the father, and he is willing to help."
It seemed that after thinking about life all night, Charlemagne and Evanna had already made up their minds.
Hao Ren waited for Charlemagne to finish speaking, and when he saw Constance start to think, he broke the silence: "Don't be too busy making a battle plan—after seeing the troops from the World Tree Temple, I think you will have a new idea of."
"The strength of the World Tree Temple?" Constance looked at Hao Ren suspiciously, "You have mentioned them before, and you have confirmed that the reinforcements will arrive soon—but where are they? What do you want?" When will it appear in front of me?"
Hao Ren picked up the data terminal and took a look, then raised his head and smiled, "The timing is just right—they have already arrived, but they need an open place to dock."
"Is it the airship unit?" Constance showed a dazed look, "The upper platform of Frost Snow City..."
"No, it's much bigger than an airship, even bigger than your upper platform," Hao Ren waved his hand, "...forget it, I thought about it, there should be no place for them to land in this city. I'll let them They landed on the plain outside the city, how about you go with me to meet them?"
Constance and Grand Duke Owen looked at each other, but they didn't dwell on this issue, but nodded at the same time.
"There's one more thing..." Hao Ren added, "The people of Frost Snow City...how is their psychological quality?"
Constance didn't understand the meaning of this inexplicable question at all, but she guessed that the army brought by the shy World Tree Temple might have a shocking image, and this was completely understandable: the inheritors always inherited Ancient knowledge from a certain era that has been dated for a long time, and these things with several generations of technological differences are often terrifying in front of ordinary people, just like the Gorgon fighter jets in the old era are regarded as "demons" by contemporary people generally.
"Don't worry, the nerves of the northerners are thicker than you think," Grand Duke Owen laughed boldly. After Leah's second treatment, his mental head was obviously much better than before. Dealing with 'ultra-ancient relics', do you think there is anything else that can hit us?"
Hao Ren didn't explain much, just nodded with a smile: "That's the best."
Soon, they came to the city wall on the west side of Frost Snow City. Together with them, there were several left-behind officers and clerks called by Grand Duke Owen urgently.
There is an empty platform protruding out of the city wall, facing the boundless snowfield outside the city.
Hao Ren said that the troops from the Temple of the World Tree were going to land on the snowfield, and Constance thought this platform was the best place to respond: from here you can directly see the situation on the plain, and there is an independent road nearby. The elevator can quickly send people on the platform to the western gate of the fortress city.
On the other hand, Grand Duke Owen conveyed an order to the Northern Legion soldiers stationed in Frost Snow City, letting them know that a special reinforcement army would arrive in the city, and they should prepare in advance to prevent unnecessary commotion in the city.
There is no doubt that the reinforcements brought by Hao Ren were quite sudden to Frost Snow City. Under normal circumstances, a country would never allow military forces outside its own country to directly parachute to itself in such a sudden situation. Inside the base camp, but Constance did not express the slightest resistance to this matter.
Because before the turn of the era, none of this matters anymore.
Inheritors are natural allies, and all the rules of the world must compromise for this principle—at least at this moment, Constance still firmly believes in the identity of Hao Ren and his party as "inheritors", and this firm belief has undoubtedly diminished. A lot of trouble.
The sky on the snowy field is clear, and the sky under the barrier of divine power presents a wonderfully clear and translucent texture. Today's clouds are thin, and even the Gorgon space rift directly above Frost Snow City seems to be a little smaller than usual — For northerners, this is indeed a rare good day.
And it was in such a clear sky, which was rarely seen all year round, that a huge shadow suddenly appeared.
The shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, as if some kind of behemoth was approaching the light-transmitting curtain and cast a rectangular shadow, and then the vague shadow quickly enlarged and solidified, gradually showing tough lines and more details , Constance and Grand Duke Owen looked up at the sky in astonishment, and soon they realized that it was definitely not the so-called "airship".
The airship can't fly that high at all, and it can't have that scale.
It was like a mountain falling from the sky!
Three huge black starships penetrated the divine barrier that enveloped Lahrien. Their armor was thick and solid, with black crystalline wings like sails spread out on the surface, and a surge of energy particles spewed out from the rear. , Around the starship, you can see countless swarm-like escort fighters circling and flying, outlining dazzling streams of light in the air.
A strange roar resounded throughout the plain.
The northern officers and soldiers on the platform stared dumbfounded at these larger aircraft than Lord Gorgon slowly descending from the sky. The small escort aircraft continued to circle in the sky, while the three giant ships hovered above the ground. Only a few meters away.
Then one after another exits were opened on the giant ship, and humanoid creatures like giants in fairy tales walked out of it.
It was the Legion of Guardian Giants in full armor.
"In the central region, although the corruption force has begun to spread, there are still quite a few uncorrupted civilians who have not had time to escape. We cannot directly bomb those areas from the air, so the best solution is a ground force with overwhelming strength "Hao Ren seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be speaking to Constance, "It may be overkill for these giants to deal with the original black sword knights, but when those black sword knights mutated into crazy monsters... For the Guardian Giants, the war is back on track."
Constance and the rest of the northern officers and soldiers were shocked by the giant army on the plain, but Leah frowned after seeing the three spaceships and the number of convoys brought by the spaceships. She gently pulled Hao Ren The corner of his clothes: "Didn't you mobilize the entire fleet of capital ships? Why did you only come three? And where are the armed drones you summoned?"
Hao Ren said softly: "They are preparing for another war... I will tell you the information Nolan found later."
"These are from the World Tree Temple..." Constance's voice interrupted Hao Ren and Liya's low-pitched conversation. Her Royal Highness, who has always been calm, finally couldn't control her expression at this time. She looked at the The three starships on the plain (in fact, because the three starships are too huge, they almost occupy the open space on the west side of Frost Snow City, from this distance, it is almost impossible to see where the end of the farthest ship is) , "Are those giants your soldiers?"
"Strictly speaking, it's her private army," Hao Ren pointed to Leah. "Look, I said earlier, don't be so busy making battle plans..."
