Sword of Daybreaker

The

Typhon declared war.

Maryland stands in the highest tower room of Longwind Fortress. His eyes look at the direction of the Typhon Empire through the crystal glass window. His face is tight, and he has not spoken for a long time.

The orders from Imperial Capital and Typhon’s declaration of war were placed on his hands.

A huge vortex has been formed, and it is no longer meaningful to stir up the vortex of the gods or the main battle of Typhon. The important thing is that when a huge vortex starts to exert its power, all surrounded by The people of this seem to have little choice-maybe this thing is really the crazy and out-of-control War God belief, but for the soldiers of Cecil, this is no different, the order of the emperor and the order of the gods The enemy is the enemy, and the enemy is in the direction of Winterwolf Castle.

Information shows that the Winterwolf Castle defense line has been undergoing large-scale military mobilization since last night. The large-scale main force is being assembled. Even the Black Flag battle mage group in Winterburg is moving to the border, and some from Typhon inside. The newspaper reported that there might be several backup Legion who also received orders from Oldern. Although this last piece of information was vague, it was enough to support the Typhon people’s war intentions.

Cecil’s advantage now is the speed of military operations.

Maryland lowered his head. On the table in front of him, a tactical map of the Changfeng-Winterwolf Castle area was spread out. The Contracting Fort was particularly prominent in the buffer zone in the center of the area, beside the fortress symbolizing peace between the two countries. , Several blue flags marked with Cecil are being inserted on the map.

……

On the open ground next to the Fort, a mechanized force composed of hundreds of various tanks, multi-functional infantry war chariots, and troop carriers is standing in the cold wind. Cecil’s blue golden flag is flying high in the winter. in the sky, the fortress originally stationed by the two countries has now completely fallen into the hands of Cecil, and the few Typhon people in the fortress made prisoners without much resistance-now their flags have been thrown on the ground, And they themselves… probably haven’t figured out what happened.

In an armored command vehicle, Philip slightly exhaled, the expression gradually became cold and solemn.

A staff member entered the command vehicle, wrapped in cold air from the outside. He quickly walked to Philip and asked in a low voice, “General, what’s next…”

“Lightning raid on Winterwolf Castle before dusk-heavy artillery attack, cluster advancement, no need to skimp on ammunition, our mission is to destroy the Typhon people’s frontier core before they are mobilized and assembled-as for specific actions , Just follow the second set of plans that was finalized before.”

“Yes, general!”

In the cold wind, the surging power of the magic engine is released one by one, the bearings rotate, the connecting rods operate, the crawler rolls against the hard and barren ground, and the war chariots emit a low roar, starting to Typhon The line of defense moves.

……

Cecil is here.

Several mana lights rose from the hilly area towards Northwest. Within a few minutes, a flash of flame and explosion began to rise from that direction. After a short delay, the walls of Winterwolf Castle could be heard. The faint rumbling sound came from afar, and the low and subtle roar made the soldiers a little nervous, and made Adesha’s face darker.

Young Wolf General left the window and returned to a long table with large tactical maps. She looked towards a senior officer in the castle: “Our mobile unit on the small triangular slope was fighting the Cecil people. Now.”

The officer is looking away from the tactical map. He looks at Adesha’s eyes, his face is very serious: “It’s not close from the Fort to the small triangle, and the high-speed marching Knight Corps also takes two hours. Arrival-Cecil people are faster than we thought.”

“They mainly use war chariot as a means of movement-a variety of war chariots,” Adesha looked at his men. “It is both a vehicle, a weapon, and a strong fortress.”

“According to the available information, unless the Knight troops accumulate in advance and use the power of the combined shield and heat cone to destroy the Cecil people’s “steel propulsion tactics” at one time, otherwise the conventional troops are fighting with those war chariots. When fighting in the front, you will fall into a great disadvantage-on the other hand, mechanized battle mage troops can fight against those war chariots through flexible tactics and long-range attacks, but it is only confrontation, there is no obvious advantage, we need …”

At this moment, a sudden rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and the voice of the herding soldier rang, interrupting the officer’s statement: “General! Winter Castle Earl and the Black Flag Magician regiment arrived! Earl It’s outside now.”

Adesha looked up immediately: “Let Winterberg Earl come in!”

With a steady and powerful footsteps, Palin Dongbao Earl, wearing a Deep Blue color star robe, a jewel scepter and black magic letters in his waist, stepped into the room and saw this familiar After her elders, Adesha clearly showed a relief expression, and she stood up to meet: “Dongbao Earl-we have been waiting for you.”

“Hopefully I haven’t missed anything yet,” Winter Castle Earl nodded, “I heard that the Cecil people have started to attack.”

“Yes, the offensive has already begun, and I am afraid that it will not take long to reach the Winterwolf Castle line of defense,” Adesha said frankly. “Now our mobile forces in the area of ​​the small triangle slope have contacted them.”

Palin Dongbao was un’ed and asked again: “In addition to the black flag, which other troops are in place?”

“The 17th and 22nd National Knights from the direction of Brown Valley have arrived at Winterwolf Castle before noon, and then your Black Flag Magician regiment-the rest of the troops are still on the road, and the earliest may be tomorrow We can only arrive at this time.”

“The Cecil people will definitely strive to storm Winterwolf Castle before this evening to break this line of defense in advance,” Palin Winterburg said immediately. “Winterwolf Castle is the only gateway to Northwest for entering Empire. The Cecil people are not I would like to see it become a hard stone…”

Several officers in the room were unable to bear and whispered a few words, but the entire room soon fell back into silence.

Strike and destroy a strong fortress with shields and enchantment walls in a day and night, which is almost unthinkable in the old war order, but the people sitting here are not the town of ignorant and inexperienced Nomura, each of them has studied various information from Cecil, so they are very clear-Cecil people have not only done this, but also succeeded more than once.

Adesha quickly flashed a series of program deductions, and at the same time disabled to bear frowned sighed: “This is all beyond expectations, our preparation is not enough…”

“This is not just beyond our expectations-I believe the same is true for Cecil people,” Palin Winterburger said indifferently, “This is a war where no one is ready, everyone stands in the same way On the starting line, after the vortex is formed, everyone will fall into it irresistibly, so we can be cautious and serious, but not so pessimistic.”

Adesha exhaled, nodded: “It’s true. Cecil people are menacing, but…”

As soon as she was halfway through, she suddenly stopped as if she noticed something. The officers in the room didn’t know what was happening for a while. They all looked at each other in blank dismay, but soon someone responded. Over here, they kept everyone quiet, and in the silence, Adesha and her adjutant held their breath together and listened carefully to the sound from outside.

The dense explosion in the direction of the small triangle slope is quickly becoming thinner.

“Less than half an hour,” the adjutant complexion is gloomy, “faster than we expected…”

An officer unable to bear whispered softly: “If there are Tiehe Knight Corps and Priest Regiment, High Rank War Blessing and the strategic magic of the Battle Mage Regiment, we can stop the enemy’s offensive in Northwest… “

Adesha glanced at the officer, then withdrew his eyes: “We no longer have Tiehe Knight Corps, nor Priest Regiment-only the main force of the Winter Wolf Knight Corps and the three support troops, and this fortress. Ladies and gentlemen, on this basis, think about how to deal with those Cecil people, this is to face reality.”

Adesha still maintains a stern expression and a resolute and decisive tone, as if not shaken at all, but as an elder who is familiar with it, Palin Dongbao can feel the young Wolf General deep in his heart. Frustration and regret.

But he couldn’t think of relief, and he knows that the overwhelming majority here are probably in a similar mood. Even himself, he is not optimistic at this moment.

And this repression does not come from those Cecil people, nor is it out of fear of fighting-Empire’s soldiers never fear war, what really shakes them is Typhon’s clouded future.

Mutation’s War God Church, the runaway ace Knight Corps, the pollution that is hidden around you and will suddenly burst when I don’t know when. These things should not be discussed in this place, but everyone knows they are It is really pressing in front of everyone, and even a large number of officers will have a more terrifying concern after being exposed to a deeper level of intelligence –

Tiehe Knight Corps is out of control under the influence of mental pollution, and they are believers of War God… Then as a believer of War God or a person who has more or less been exposed to the belief of War God, will it be sudden Crazy? Even…Is the thing I’m thinking about and the tactics I’m arranging really out of my free will?

Empire’s soldiers are also humans — these terrifying pressures are shaking everyone’s morale anyway.

“We set up a large arcane stress field on the west side of the defense line.” After a brief silence, Adesha suddenly broke his silence. “This is targeted at the various characteristics of the magic engine and magic circuit substrate. Traps, they should be able to play a considerable role-if the enemy’s advancement is successfully deterred, the strategic magic spell strike of the Black Flag Magician Regiment will surely have a greater effect.”

Palin Dongbao raised his eyebrows: “arcane stress field? That is the research result of the Royal Mage Association… Have you put them into practical use?”

“Reluctant to use,” Adesha nodded, “mainly because the layout time is not enough, but it can still play a certain effect…”

After letting Palin Dongbao Earl take a break for a while, Adesha only exhaled long. She was a little easier than before, but only a little bit.

“Are we still unable to establish contact with Cecil people?” She suddenly turned her head, looking towards her adjutant who had followed her for years.

“All attempts failed,” the adjutant immediately straightened his body and replied abruptly, “We tried to use the communication device to call the backup line of Longwind Fortress, and the other party did not respond. We also sent three waves of messengers, but there was no one. Come back alive-it seems that the Cecil people have been completely irritated, and they will probably not negotiate with us before scoring the victory.”

“Damn…” Adesha gritted his teeth, “Aren’t their brains confused…”

The lieutenant glanced at his chief with some anxiety. After a moment of hesitation, the youngster who had followed Adesha for many years was still unable to bear opened the mouth and said: “General, do you still think this war can stop? Both of us have already substantively used force… We are speaking bluntly, and I think it is useless to try to contact those Cecil people at this time and try to explain the misunderstanding…”

“But the fact is that this shouldn’t have happened!” Adesha stared at his adjutant, trying to keep his tone calm, “This war is harmful to Empire, harmful to everyone, only those who are polluted The lunatic can get some false satisfaction from it-listen, contact again, this is the command.”

The adjutant met Adesha’s gaze, and after two seconds he bowed his head and accepted the order: “Yes, General, I will go to the communication tower again.”

The adjutant left, and Adesha stayed here, with an increasingly heavy heart, facing the disaster that gradually rolled over.

As time went on, more and more intelligence began to gather in front of her.

That was the intelligence gathered by the Scouts and Griffin troops flying in the sky—and in one piece of information, Cecil’s “steel propulsion tactics” were finally presented to the guards of Winterwolf Castle. In the eyes of the people, about the performance of those war chariots, about the Cecil battle method, about the comparison of the combat capabilities and tactics of the two sides…

And along with the intelligence, there is also the steel Legion which is constantly advancing.

Before the sun went down, the last post set on the western border of Winterwolf Castle saw the Cecil’s army-the steel-made war chariot came from the direction of the plain. During the roar of artillery, the war chariot’s crawler with no difficulty The defense of the outpost was torn apart, and the soldiers who had evacuated before then brought the news that Winterwolf Castle would enter the range of the enemy within ten minutes.

This is the last piece of information.

At the same time, the adjutant also brought the final bad news-Longwind Fortress still did not respond to Winterwolf Castle’s contact.

Adesha is standing on the towering and solid city wall. The energy shield above the fortress is gradually increasing the charge level. The enchantment city wall under her feet also resonates with mana. Some of the stone bricks occasionally have a slight tremor, but these constantly The climbing protection level did not allow her to settle down.

A lot of things will only be understood after being faced with reality. No amount of advancement is more profound than reality-Adesha clearly sees the shortcomings of the Typhon army.

Cecil’s magical technology has changed this era, and changes in the era mean that everything must change accordingly-this includes both the human lifestyle and everything on the battlefield.

The Typhon man is one step slower, and this slow step is manifested on the battlefield, which is not at all enough units in the Typhon army to be “equivalent” to Cecil’s new weapons.

In the face of the steel war chariot called the “tank”, Empire’s Tiehe Knight Corps has been absent, and the Priest group is no longer available. Only the battle mage who have recently completed the upgrade training can use the magic car and One battle, but the latter has a serious number of shortcomings. At the same time, in this new battlefield, they are far less experienced than the Cecil army that has experienced civil war and catastrophe.

After some comparison, Adesha finally found out that when the war chariot of the Cecil was on the battlefield, she couldn’t find many soldiers who could step out of Winterwolf Castle and fight against the enemy on the frontal battlefield!

Before today, Adesha has seen information about Cecil’s military training speed and the advantages and disadvantages of magic weapons from various intelligences. She also thought that this is an easy mass production, easy training, rapid prototyping, fast A new army of growth, she has also made many suggestions to Imperial Capital in this regard, thinking of many ways to improve Empire’s existing army, but now she realized that her imagination… after all, it is poor .

On the west side of the distant battlefield, the faint smoke and magical gleam shined, and it appeared seemingly true and seemingly illusory in the sunbeam of the sinking Giant Sun.

Today, Adesha finally realized what he had missed on Paramer Heights on that rainy night.
