Relying on magic games to transcend reality
Page 488
This was an unprecedented test of the enemy, but the two did not make a fool of themselves by sending their relatively fragile magicians to confront the enemy, but instead dispatched a whole legion of knights.
Knights could also learn some long-range attack methods, but it was clear that no one in this regiment of low-level professionals had mastered them. After they reached a charging distance of 1,000 meters, they immediately moved at full speed, activated their combat skills, and shone with light, rushing towards the top of the mountain like arrows.
He poked his head out of the trench and observed the commander of the Second Regiment of the First Army of the First Corps through binoculars. He could not help but admire the enemy’s formation, which was not at all disordered even when they were running.
“After all, they are the elite troops of the Empire. Look at their formation. They run faster than rabbits. The team is not in disarray at all. If the coalition army was allowed to join, it would have been in chaos long ago.”
“Captain, the enemy is within range.”
“Okay, get ready.”
When the soldiers from the Second Regiment heard this, they quickly lifted the tarpaulin covering the object in front of them, revealing the magic machine gun underneath.
“Listen carefully.” The regiment commander looked around and reminded the soldiers, “Try to aim at the legs. If you hit them, don’t shoot again. Change the target immediately. Do you understand?”
“Yes!”
“Fire!”
The moment the captain shouted, “Drop!”, more than 30 rotary magic Gatling guns distributed along the trench spewed out flames from their muzzles at the same time.
It was morning, the sky was cloudless, and the soldiers of the First Corps had no chance to see the spectacular sight of the flames connecting into a line of fire in the night, but it did not affect the severity of the pain caused by the bullets hitting them.
The crazy firing rates of more than 30 Gatling guns formed a firepower network with no blind spots. The soldiers of the First Corps, who had never fought against firearms, did not understand that crawling could reduce the probability of being shot, and they continued to run wildly.
In the war history of Blue Star, the reason why the human wave tactics were eliminated is closely related to the birth of Gatling, because of the terrifying speed at which Gatling harvested lives.
Sadhu must have never seen it before, but fortunately I had the opportunity to see it today.
Five thousand knight professional soldiers, the lowest level is junior, the highest is senior, and the leader is a sky knight. Such a legion is enough to destroy the inferior principality.
However, they could not even hold out for ten minutes under the firepower net woven by the Second Regiment.
The two stunned deputy army commanders who were watching the battle in front of the camp gate also saw for the first time the embodiment of a metaphor often used in literary works – the crowd fell down in rows like harvested wheat.
The first battle ended so hastily, so fast that people couldn’t react.
After a long time, the deputy corps commander was awakened by the wailing of soldiers in the distance. After seeing the situation at the bottom of the slope, he became furious.
“These bastards! They deliberately avoided the vital parts and only shot at the soldiers’ legs!”
No matter how much you curse, you still have to solve the problem.
Now that the enemy has stopped attacking, the surviving seriously wounded soldiers on our side are lying everywhere. Should we save them or not?
If you don’t save them, the soldiers gathered and waiting are watching. If you save them…
The deputy commander looked at the top of the slope with a gloomy look. The unfamiliar tubular weapons reflected the metallic luster in the sunlight.
Isn’t that sending someone to death?
At this moment, both deputy legion commanders missed the leisurely time they spent eating and drinking in the magic light shield.
“What should we do?” another deputy legion commander asked in a low voice in his ear.
“Why do you think I would know?” He deadpanned.
“Send out the magicians to destroy their positions from the sky.”
“Captain Sadhu said that the enemy has a team that can quickly kill high-level professionals. I believe that team is hiding nearby.”
“Then just leave it alone?”
“Send out the magician.” A voice suddenly came from behind.
They turned their heads and saw Sadhu walking towards them with his hands behind his back. “I just thought about it for a long time and finally realized that when we decided to activate the magic circle and stay where we are, the last chance to escape had already slipped away from us.”
The deputy corps commander was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, “Can’t we leave a corps behind to cover our retreat?”
Sadhu shook his head: “Although I can’t guess what the enemy’s means are, I guess they are definitely prepared to block our retreat. Let’s accept the reality of failure.”
“No, Commander, we still have hundreds of high-level professionals. We can’t surrender like this!”
“Who said we are going to surrender?” Sadhu looked at the two people’s blank eyes and smiled, “It is certain that we will lose, but it is not impossible to win back later. The Gangnuo Empire has not yet perished.”
“How can an empire, when it is so strong, perish?”
“So, don’t be discouraged. The outcome of this war does not determine who will be the final winner.
Now, what we have to do is to force Lake to reveal more of his strength, so that we can have a greater chance of defeating him in the future. Based on this, whether we can win the next decisive battle or not, it won’t be a loss.”
The two deputy army commanders stared at Sadhu. Not being defeated by failure and not being afraid of difficulties was the reason why they swore to be loyal and follow Sadhu.
“I understand.” The two said in unison, and one of them asked, “What’s the next tactic?”
“In the way the Bauhinia Corps is most familiar with.”
“As ordered!”
There was no need for Sadhu’s command for the subsequent operations. One of them mobilized all the remaining soldiers to attack the slope, while the other led the high-level professionals to fly into the sky and provide support from high altitude.
The entire Bauhinia Corps was mobilized, making quite a noise, and the second commander on the slope immediately noticed it.
He raised his telescope and observed carefully, confirming that all the high-level professionals of the Bauhinia Corps had taken off, and the soldiers had lined up to walk out of the camp. He quickly turned on his headset and said excitedly, “They’re all out!”
The headset replied the next second: “Understood.”
There are still 40,000 soldiers left in the Bauhinia Corps. The momentum of seeing 40,000 people marching in formation on the grass is still very shocking. Their footsteps are in unison, and coupled with the strong physique of professionals, the soldiers of the First Army can even feel the ground shaking under their feet.
As the distance between the two sides shortened, the magicians in the back row of the Bauhinia Legion began to condense magic, and together with their companions, they raised a huge magic shield and erected it at the front of the team, intending to resist the firepower network of the Second Corps.
However, what hit them first was not bullets, but artillery shells flying from a distance.
The blue light emitted by the magic shield continued to dim, and the deputy legion commander contacted the sky: “Go kill them!”
“give it to me.”
Hundreds of high-level professionals suspended in the air, led by another deputy legion commander, rushed towards the artillery position of the First Army.
However, soon after they flew out and reached the edge of the forest, they encountered stubborn resistance.
The soldiers of the First Army lurking in the forest quickly lifted the towering magic tarpaulin around them, exposing hundreds of anti-aircraft guns to the air.
“Fire!”
As the gun barrel retracted violently, balls of “black fog” exploded next to the high-level professionals.
The Sky Knight reacted quickly, waving his weapon to block the Mage, while the Mage summoned a magic shield to guard against sneak attacks and cast a blessing magic on the Sky Knight.
After blocking the “black fog” several times, they found that the power of this thing was not very strong, at least not enough to break the magic shield and the physique of the Sky Knight.
The deputy legion commander waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about them. Let’s destroy the magic crystal in the distance first—”
“what–“
He was interrupted by a scream from the side. The deputy commander turned his head in shock and saw a headless mage falling straight to the ground, with blood spurting out of his neck and floating in the wind.
“Where is the location!”
This magician was using a magic shield and could be killed with one strike. The ones who did this were undoubtedly the mysterious team that Sadhu had mentioned.
“Deputy…Deputy Commander, I can’t find him!”
“Me too!”
The high-level professionals panicked and subconsciously shrank their formation, alertly searching for enemies lurking in the shadows. However, judging from the same replies that kept coming back, it was clear that they found nothing.
The deputy legion commander looked down at the ground with a gloomy expression, and his mental power also spread out.
This one doesn’t exist, this one doesn’t exist, and this one is the same, where is it?!
After crying and searching in vain, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, “Mage, cover the ground with magic. If there is another sneak attack, the Sky Knights will charge into the forest immediately!”
They heard the order and immediately took action. The magician began to condense area magic, and the sky knight brewed accelerated combat skills. During the journey, the mysterious team’s bullets did not stop for a moment.
After paying the price of three magicians and two sky knights, brilliant magic bursts hit the ground from the sky.
Violent explosions resounded through the sky. Several beams of light pierced straight to the ground from high altitude. Flames and flying rocks enveloped the forest. Thunder roared from time to time. Huge stone spikes broke through the ground and stood firm in the blazing flames.
The horrific scene lasted for about ten minutes. When the magic power was gradually exhausted and the magic faded, the forest no longer existed, replaced by a scorched earth.
The deputy commander looked at the results achieved by his team, but he was not happy. Instead, his eyes were blank, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
On the scorched earth, twenty-five strange-looking monsters stood. Magic patterns lit up on the left and right sides of their bodies, and countless rays of light shot out from the round heads on their heads, winding and connecting in the air to form a magic circle.
A thick beam of light shot out from the center of the magic circle into the sky, supporting a deep purple magic light shield.
The deputy legion commander saw through the magic light shield that the soldiers hiding inside were safe and sound. The soldiers looked up at the deputy legion commander with a smile on their faces, as if mocking his dull expression.
The ordinary soldiers were all unharmed, so it was needless to say whether the mysterious team survived. Moreover, the scream that sounded next to him was the most powerful evidence.
“Deputy Legion Commander, please give the order!” A Sky Knight swung his sword to block a bullet with difficulty and urged anxiously.
Chapter 406: The Bauhinia Corps was destroyed, and the last hope of the coalition was shattered
The high-level professionals around the deputy legion commander were constantly shot in the head and fell to the ground like kites with short strings. The situation became critical.
He tried hard to suppress his panic, his brain worked rapidly for a while, and he ordered his subordinates to pour magic on the purple light shield on the scorched earth again.
The light shield was bombarded by various powerful magics and shook violently. The magic rune pages on both sides of the tank body flickered and it looked like it would shatter in the next second.
However, until the magic ran out of power and gradually dissipated, the light shield still stood on the surface, and the dimmed light was slowly recovering.
The deputy legion commander gritted his teeth, ready to order the Sky Knight to try again, but before he could open his mouth, a bullet suddenly appeared in front of him. If it weren’t for the timely help of the magician beside him with a magic shield, he would have met the same fate as his fallen subordinates.
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he came to his senses and looked around, he found that more than half of his men had been killed or wounded.
Even with all the team members present before, they were unable to shake the enemy’s magic shield. Now with half of the team members missing, it is obviously even more impossible.
He wanted to break away from the entanglement and deal with the artillery position in the distance, but as soon as he showed signs of flying away, countless “black fogs” shot out from the ground.
The power of this thing was not very strong, but it was not so weak that it could be ignored. If they flew with the explosion of the “black fog” and the sneak attack of the mysterious team, by the time they arrived at the artillery position, the team would be almost destroyed.
With no way out, the deputy commander was at a loss.
He didn’t know what to do over there, but the First Army would not just stand there and watch. The Damm Squad kept firing, charging, and firing again, calling out the high-level professionals in the sky one by one.
The deputy commander was confused for half a minute before coming to his senses and there were only a few of his subordinates left.
As several bullets attacked again, they lost their fighting spirit and didn’t even raise their swords and magic wands to resist, allowing their heads to be hit and explode.
“Report.” The invisible Dam contacted the headquarters with a headset, “The enemy’s high-level professional team was completely wiped out.”
“Very good, continue searching for the remaining high-level professionals of the enemy army.”
“Yes!”
