Chapter 749 The Dark Lord and the Sage Revolution (XIII)
The Battle of Fort Loop lasted two days.
The Emerald Witch led approximately 1,200 Black Demons into the battle. Under her precise command and decisive decision-making, this battle became the first major victory that shook the rule of the Kailasel family.
At the beginning of the battle, Camille gathered relatively elite soldiers and concentrated his superior forces to attack the weakly defended [Loup Fortress].
The garrison of the fortress is about 200 to 300 people, manned by Aurors from the Kailasel family.
They failed to anticipate that the Dark Lord's march would launch an active attack. In addition, the garrison troops were scattered in other fortresses and failed to provide effective support. The defense of the entire fortress seemed empty and fragile.
In the early morning of the first day, the Dark Devils took the lead in launching a surprise attack.
Under the command of six clones, they used [Ouroboros Curse] to forcibly tear apart the shield line of the south gate.
At the same time, the offensive at the North Gate was quietly launched.
Although the Aurors used fifth- and sixth-ring magic to try to block the Dark Lord's attack, their numbers were far outnumbered and they lacked sufficient tactical coordination.
The Dark Demon disintegrated the Auror's concentrated attack by spreading firepower and positioning flexibly.
By noon, the shield of the south gate completely collapsed, and the dark demons poured into the outer defense line of the fortress and started a close-range battle between wizards.
Although the Kailasel family's defenders performed tenaciously, their disadvantages in numbers and sustained magic power caused them to gradually lose.
At dawn the next day, Camille issued the order for a full-scale attack.
Under the command of tactical precision, the army of Black Demons forced the defenders of the fortress into the inner city.
The Aurors tried to mount a final resistance through high-level magic, but the low-ring speed attack characteristic of the Ouroboros Curse completely restrained their high-cost spells.
At noon, the core area of the fortress was completely lost, and the flag symbolizing the [∞] symbol of the Dark Lord was flying high on the wall of Lup Fortress.

In the village of Adelin outside the Lup Fortress, the night was dark, but the command hall was brightly lit.
On the war sand table, magic projected the detailed terrain of Lupu Fortress and its surrounding areas. Bright light spots marked the advancement of the Black Demons' army and the defense arrangements of the Kailasel family.
Camille's real body was standing next to the sand table, her emerald green hair neatly tied into a bun, and her whole person exuded a calm and determined aura.
Beside the sand table, the Dark Lord leaned slightly against the table, with his hands folded on his chest, his golden eyes shining, quietly watching Camille's busy figure.
Camille's face looked a little tired, but more sober and calm after victory.
Her voice sounded softly in the air, her tone calm but with firm power:
"Before the battle began, we never expected to be able to tear open Kailasel's defenses so quickly. The defenders of the Lupu Fortress, we once thought that their high walls and thick fortifications would bring us huge trouble. But now It seems that it is the arrogance and foolish division of troops strategy of the Kailaser family that exposed their weakest line of defense before our eyes.”
She gently moved the sign on the sand table with her hand, pushed a flag symbolizing the Black Devil in the direction of [Guding Fortress], and continued:
"After taking down Fort Lup, we then attacked Fort Gustin. The road was unstoppable. The defense lines of these fortresses seemed solid, but in fact they fought independently and lacked support. The situation of the battle in our hands is becoming more and more clear and clear. The more colorful it is.”
Hearing this, Xia Xiu showed a meaningful smile:
"The pride of the Kailasel family prevents them from seeing that they are on the edge of a cliff. They place too much emphasis on my strategic deterrence and neglect your tactical command."
Camille, Overtime Machine, Shifeni, and War Architect, who had begun to become social animals, readjusted several key points on the sand table and ordered the other sub-personas in his mind to follow his own instructions. The tactical structure began to be laid out.
"Next step, Guding Fortress will be our target. While they are still confused, we must act quickly and take advantage of Kailasel's slowness and stupidity to completely destroy this line of defense."
After capturing the fortress, the Emerald Witch decisively adjusted her strategy and targeted [Guding Fortress] as her next target.
"Do you think Calvin will return the favor?" Xia Xiu asked Camille with a smile.
"No!" The Emerald Witch replied firmly.
"If we wanted to support him, he would have already supported us."

In the meeting hall of Letherian headquarters, the air was filled with tension.
Several important members of the Kailasel family sat around the long table, with a little anxiety on their faces.
Several family members began to persuade Calvin Kelasel to change his strategy and advocated sending reinforcements to support the Lup Fortress to stabilize the defense line.
An older family member said tentatively:
"Your Excellency, the Dark Lord's March attack is rapid and violent. The strength of the Lup Fortress is already weak. Now we are fighting alone and it may be difficult to hold on. We should quickly mobilize reinforcements to prevent the fortress from falling and causing the entire eastern front defense to collapse."
Another capable red-robed Auror also echoed:
"That's right, Your Excellency. The Dark Demons are numerous and they are not afraid of attrition. Once the Lupu Fortress falls, the enemy will definitely use it as a springboard to attack the Gooding Fortress, and even threaten Letherian's safety."
But Calvin Kelasel put his hands on the table, stood up slowly, glanced at everyone present with his cold eyes, and said in a low and determined voice:
"Letherian has experienced more than dozens of large-scale Mudblood rebellions in the past. It is difficult to say the right and wrong. However, all scholars have noticed that it is this battlefield that determines the rise and fall of many wizard families. One rises and the other falls.
Therefore, this land has always been the iron wall of the Kailasel family, a symbol of our strength, and an important base camp for the supply of magic network. ”
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice gradually became more sonorous and powerful:
"Once Letherian is lost, it will not only be a shame for our family, but will also shake the order of the entire Naga Ring.
But now, we are in a favorable position, and the Dark Lord's march is nothing more than a mob. Even if we have the advantage in numbers, what can we do? Let me tell you clearly here - I will not divide our troops for support! ”
For a moment, there was silence in the meeting hall.
The family members looked at each other. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey Calvin's will.
His voice is still echoing:
"Let them consume it. They are just a group of Mudbloods who cannot sustain themselves for a long time. No matter how fiercely they attack, they will eventually hit the iron wall of the Kailasel family and be shattered to pieces."
Several members lowered their heads and said nothing, and could only barely nod in agreement.
Calvin sneered, sat back down, and tapped the table gently:
"Go down the order and be on guard against Letherian. The rest of the troops don't have to move lightly. Let the Dark Demons exhaust their energy outside the Lupu Fortress and several other fortresses. When they reveal their flaws, it will be us, Kailasel, who will counterattack. time.”
Calvin Kellaser failed to reinforce in time and chose to hold on, trying to maintain the defense lines of other forts.
This decision made [Fort Gooding] the next isolated target.

Before the aftermath of the Battle of Fort Loop had subsided, the flames of war at [Fort Gooding] were ignited.
After capturing the Loop Fortress, Camille quickly consolidated the results of the victory, widely publicized the Dark Lord's Declaration in the city, and called on more civilian wizards to join her team.
Her commitment is simple and straightforward - to resist the rule of the Kailasel family, distribute the resources of the Auror class, and fight for equality and freedom for the general wizarding class.
If the Dark Lord were in charge of the "Book of Sages", the Dark Lord would share the world with the general public!
Such proclamations proved extremely attractive.
On the second day after [Loup Fortress] was captured, a large number of wizards joined the march in several liberated radiation areas. The size of the Dark Lord's march expanded rapidly, from the initial 1,200 people to more than 2,700 people.
Although many people in the team have their own purposes, and some even have evil intentions, their arrival will undoubtedly provide more troops for the next battle.
At the same time, Calvin Kellaser still chose to stick to the defensive line and did not send reinforcements to support [Guding Fortress].
His stubbornness left the 500 Aurors of [Gooding Fortress] fighting alone and falling into a desperate situation of being besieged.
This fortress is an important stronghold of the Kelasel family in the southeast. However, although its defenders are relatively concentrated, they are far from enough to withstand the fierce offensive of the Dark Lord's march.
When Kamil, with Thinker as the leader, began to march to join forces with Nawahban.
When the eight personas gathered together, the Dark Lord's marching goal became clearer - to quickly capture the Guding Fortress, paving the way for the subsequent Battle of Lele Fortress.
In the center of the march command, the Thinker mask appeared. Under the cold mask was a pair of sharp and calm eyes, staring at the topographic map of Guding's Fortress marked on the sand table.
As Nawahban's march joined forces with the Dark Lord's march, a team of more than 2,700 people gathered together, bringing greater strength and injecting new vitality into the subsequent offensive.
She raised her hand slightly to signal the other seven personas to come closer.
Eight figures surrounded the sand table, each exuding a unique aura, forming a faint coercion.
The thinker's voice sounded in the silence, low and clear, and every word seemed to penetrate the air and hit the soul directly:
"I once said that the high walls of the Kailasel family cannot be fast, and their defenses cannot be dragged down. Two years ago, our team was tortured in the abyss of Nawahban, isolated and helpless, but now, we As we get bigger, our playing style becomes more and more refined. We have the Ouroboros curse, an unyielding will, and a burning faith.”
She glanced at the other masked clones and raised her voice slightly:
"Morale, tactics, strength, all these conditions are accumulating. Our hope is gradually condensing. Now, like a concave and convex mirror under the scorching sun, we focus all the light and heat on these fortresses - Jean Gudin Fortress Burn it, let it smoke!”
*

Calvin Kelasel pinned his hopes on the defense of various fortresses, firmly believing that these impregnable strongholds could delay the march of the Dark Lord.
He calmly analyzed the battle situation and believed that as long as the defense line was stabilized and the crystal wall system prepared by the sage was completed, everything would return to the control of the Kailasel family.
However, the facts shattered his illusions time and time again.
Not only did those fortresses fail to effectively block the enemy's attack, but they were captured one by one and became isolated and helpless "prisons."
When the Dark Lord marched to [Guding Fortress], this fortress was an important stronghold of the Kailasel family in the southeast. The number of defenders was about 500, most of whom were well-trained Auror elites.
Nonetheless, they were left alone.
Calvin's dispersed defense strategy seemed extremely stupid at this time. He always believed that the fortress could defend itself without additional support and even contain the enemy forces far away from the Dark Lord.
However, the development of the war situation once again mercilessly mocked this confidence.
Under the night, the Dark Lord marched and began the siege of [Guding Fortress].
Camille's eight personas perform their own duties in this battle. She is led by the Thinker, who calmly formulates a battle plan and orders the other masks to lead different detachments and execute precise tactics.
Following her instructions, each team took action in turn, using the cover of night to gradually erode the outer defense line of Guding Fortress.
The battle lasted for two days. Although the defenders showed tenacious resistance, they failed to change the situation.
With the collapse of the last line of defense, the Dark Lord marched and successfully occupied Guding Fortress.
This victory not only caused the Kelasel family to lose another city, but also gave the Dark Lord's march an unprecedented boost in numbers and morale.
Camille's true form and Xia Xiu stood on the high wall of the fortress, staring at the sky dyed red by the war.
Camille stared at the distant sky with deep eyes and murmured in a low voice:
"The so-called strategic decisive battle, in the final analysis, is two blindfolded commanders arranging their troops on the battlefield and betting on tactics.
In this case, the commander's vision and strategic vision are particularly important. Even if Terra's modern war already has a certain degree of open vision due to the existence of the lineage, the view will be limited by the other side's lineage shielding.
In the final analysis, genealogy wars often evolve into games between think tanks, and a competition between vision prediction and personnel scheduling. ”
Xia Xiu stood aside, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and added lightly:
"Don't forget to consider the perspective of strategic deterrence."
"Indeed. Precisely because there were no powerful holders to directly participate, the intensity of this war was suppressed within a specific range and did not escalate further. It was precisely while the intensity had not escalated that I decided to move forward quickly. But to be honest, I didn’t expect that the commander on the other side would be like this..."
Camille paused slightly, seeming to consider his words.
"So stubborn and stupid, aren't you?"
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven took over the conversation without mercy, with his usual venomous ridicule in his tone.
Camille smiled helplessly, but did not refute:
"Well said."
She then asked:
"What do you think about the next question of where Calvin Kellaser is now?"
The blond young man's eyes were indifferent, but there was an unquestionable certainty in his voice:
"Insufficient troops, no hope of reinforcements. Low morale, collapsed confidence. Tactics are rigid and lack of adaptability. And they underestimated you. The next battle will be over within a day, and you should be able to see the Auror a day later."
"Compared to him, you did well, Camille."
Xia Xiu tilted his head and did not hesitate to praise him.
Camille's eyes flashed slightly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her profile, adding a thin layer of brilliance to her stern expression.
"Then the other card can also be used?"
"So, it's time to flip the other card now, right?"
Xia Xiu, who was standing next to her, raised his head and looked through the blood-stained sky. His golden eyes shone brightly, like the scorching sun controlling destiny.
"Let's turn over the cards together. The card I buried in Arcadian City can also be used."
He paused for a moment and said with a smile:
"The death of five web-weaving masters one after another was enough for me to find the hiding place of the old turtle."
"When the Ring of Nagas is completely liberated and our anchor is nailed down, the Hundred Layer World will no longer be able to easily expel me."
His eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was deep in thought and planning the next step.
"At that time, I will also make time to have a good talk with those so-called first-level red-robed wizards - especially about the ownership of the Order of Merlin."
Before he finished speaking, the blond young man's tone suddenly became colder, as if there was a biting chill.
"There is also the issue of those named people and the Crowned Breeds in the Hundred-layer World. I think it's time to clean up - especially one of the silver-robed wizards, who is inextricably linked to this matter."< br>
When he said this, a cold light flashed across his golden eyes.
