Chapter 285, Beating Friendly Forces
The intensity of the war has been slowly rising.
Only at this moment, when the Eastern Expeditionary Force launched the magic cannon, and when the terrifying blue color began to fill the battlefield, the accelerator button was pressed on everything.
The rat priests sent a request to the rear, towards the underground rat city.
More magic cannons are requested. This scary big toy is so addictive that people can’t put it down.
But there was no response, and the deep abyss that produced the magic cannon fell into silence.
The long claw seems to disappear and no longer responds. This situation is a very normal situation for this guy.
It’s just that the Eastern Expeditionary Force let the rats fight, making this war particularly difficult.
I thought that the arrival of this magic cannon was just the beginning, but now it seems that it is just like this for the time being, there is only this cannon.
But even so, the counterattack began.
Accompanied by the dull sound, the ratmen launched attacks from both directions, above and below ground.
The frustrated defense lasted for a long time.
The rat warriors left the complicated trenches and tunnels in the process of driving.
With sharp shouts, they launched a charge towards the human front not far away.
The noble coalition forces are prepared for this situation, and they have a lot of various war equipment.
At the same time, there are many mages accompanying the army to deal with possible situations on the battlefield.
The mages of the Youyan human race are all-rounders, suppressing enemies, motivating friendly forces, healing, maintaining front lines, and anti-mages. They can participate in almost everything, and they are some troublesome guys.
Fortunately, in the exchange for the first time, Shu Zhan exchanged a large group of accompanying mages with each other with the violent knights in his hands.
The number of military mages on the front line is not that sufficient, and it seems a bit stretched.
The Skaven Priests were also thrown into the battlefield.
At this time, they were mixed in with the charging rat warriors, and various magical spells were being thrown out continuously, such as rock falling, ground cracking, rock thorns, and rock missiles. Perhaps because they have been active underground all year round, rats The tendency of divine magic performed by human priests is also generally inclined towards the two factions of earth and rock.
Of course, besides the earth and rocks, there is another thing that they are equally familiar with.
Madness, group madness, killing aura.
Such magical spells continued to fall, and the eyes of the charging rat warriors also had a touch of scarlet.
This is not the most troublesome situation.
The most troublesome situation comes from the Skaven troops surging underground.
The Youyan tribe is on guard against the underground activities of the Skaven. The elemental chaos cannon is a good means of dealing with it.
It can easily wipe out most of the Skaven in an area. , and at the same time, it can also wipe out most of the various offensives and underground tunnels constructed by the rat people. As long as a few more bombardments are launched at an area, everything in this area will be cleared, and the bombarded land will be cleared. While it is clean, it will also return the land to a barren state.
But such a method obviously cannot be used against one's own position.
Various detection and inspection instruments are placed at the forefront of the rat-men's positions. What happens underground can easily be observed by the Dark-Eyed people.
This makes the Skaven's underground march extremely difficult.
The Dark Eye people are not stupid enough to break into the underground and compete with the rat people to see who wins and who loses.
Some military mages will gather together and use combined spells to destroy underground tunnels that are being developed underground. This kind of thing should actually be what the mages who graduated from Golden Wheatfield Academy are best at and experienced. It’s just that Golden Wheatfield Academy But it led to the destruction of Mountain Dew City.
The escaped student mages were drowned by the rat-men in the boundless tide of rat-men outside the city. The abandoned main body of the academy in the city was also burned into ruins by the rat-men.
Many unique technologies are not spread in the Youyan human empire. In fact, each magic academy has its own specialties and unique skills.
For example, if there were stone pillars with complex patterns buried underground in Mountain Dew City, the coalition of nobles would be able to free up more manpower without having to worry about the possibility of ratmen appearing underground.
It's a pity that the manufacturing technology of these stone pillars was buried in the city of Fluxus that had turned into a chaotic rat tide with the destruction of Golden Wheatfield College.
During the war, the military mages on the front lines became extremely busy, and their attention and handling of the underground tunnels naturally began to be omitted.
The Skaven Priests were not only mixed with the Skaven troops on the ground, but were also incorporated into the Skaven troops surging underground. Various magical powers quickly increased the influence of the Skaven troops. The speed of the underground rush.
Of course the tunnel dug like this will not be a serious and solid tunnel. The work is over-rushed and rough. It may not take long, maybe one day, maybe two days, this tunnel will collapse on its own. Collapse is a natural thing.
Enough ratmen have been buried in this not-so-large land. They were all buried by collapsed tunnels and died in pain and suffocation.
But the big shots of the Eastern Expeditionary Force obviously don't care about the durability of these underground tunnels that were quickly dug out and the unlucky ones who were buried.
Faster, faster.
The soil covering the top of the head was lifted, and a large hole was opened in the ground. Rat people were pouring out along this large hole.
The noble coalition forces were caught off guard. The rat men were moving deeper into the noble coalition's front along the position cavity created by the shelling.
Huge roars continued to resound on the battlefield, and the Dark Eye tribe tried to use the giant cannons in their hands to cut off the retreat of the charging rat men, trying to crush the morale of the charging rat men, causing them to retreat and make them flee.
It’s just that the effect is not particularly good.
The rat priests who are mixed in the rat army can have an excellent effect in supporting morale.
In the layer upon layer of killing halo, no matter what emotion appears in the heart, the final result will be turned into anger.
Charging with red eyes, charging desperately.
The role of the rat priests from the beginning was to support the morale of the rat army on the battlefield, and they have always done a good job in this regard.
However, their joining does not mean that the rat war team has no role.
The Skaven Priests can maintain the morale of the Skaven warriors on the battlefield, while the Skaven Supervisors can push the Skaven warriors onto the battlefield very quickly.
In the terrifying cavities that were shot out one after another, the chaotic elements have not completely subsided, but rat men are already tremblingly being pushed into the cavities. To fill the horrific cavity that had appeared on the battlefield as a result of the bombardment.
The shelling from the human side did not interrupt the Skaven charge.
Perhaps out of concern for harming friendly forces, the Dark Eye Human Race's terrifying magic cannon has never aimed its muzzle at the battle area where fierce fighting has begun on the front line.
They will also worry about harming friendly forces, but the rat people will not. These guys don't care about friendly forces or not at all, and there is no bottom line at all.
This lightning cannon is specially designed to be launched at the area where the frontline rat warriors and human soldiers are anxiously confronting each other.
The largest number of human soldiers, magic knights, and military mages gathered here, and because they were entangled by the incoming rat warriors, it was difficult for these guys to avoid the bombardment. Hitting a shot here is the most efficient.
A large number of human warriors, magic knights, and military mages fell straight down like this, dying amid the faint blue lightning lines on their faces.
Of course, the rat people cannot escape, and these guys often have a somewhat confused look on their faces before they die.
Obviously, they didn't really want to understand why, just at this sudden moment, they were sent to the sky like this, or were sent to the sky by their own people.
The noble coalition began to look for the deployment location of the Skaven Lightning Cannon.
When another lightning ball was thrown out, when the rat priests danced excitedly and crazily.
The nearby hills received a blow.
The hill, which was not too short, was almost flattened by such a blow.
The expressions on the faces of the rat priests froze at this moment.
However, as one of the few intellectuals in the Skaven Empire, these Skaven Priests were not stupid, and they made the most appropriate response very quickly.
Soon, a large number of slave rats dragged and dragged away the prototype of the lightning cannon.
Also leaving with him were the cannon-manipulating rat priests.
This is a very correct response.
Not long after they left, an elemental chaos cannon landed at the location where they had just stopped. The expanding tide of chaotic elements almost swallowed up all life in the area.
The Dark Eye tribe is positioning the Skaven, which currently only has one lightning cannon.
With no choice but to do so, the rat priests had to start practicing the principle of one shot and another place.
The two sides began to hide and seek on this battlefield, but there was a problem. The noble coalition of the Youyan Human Race had more than one or two chaotic element cannons.
After the prototype verification is completed, the next step is to start large-scale production.
But there is something wrong with the Skaven. The manufacturer of the lightning cannon has closed its doors.
One thing to say, Rat Zhan at this time should really want to strangle Longclaw to death. He is very anxious, he is really anxious, although this guy has never openly shouted to the rear that he needs more time. Multiple lightning cannons.
But recently, the guys in the Eastern Expeditionary Force who have made this request to the rear have expanded from rat priests to rat warlords, constantly urging the rear.
All it took was Shu Zhan himself to shamelessly shout to the rear.
Give me more doors, give me more doors.
It's just a pity that there is no news about Longclaw at present. If possible, Rat Zhan really wants to strangle the damn guy who disappeared from the chain at this critical moment of Longclaw.
It’s just that he can’t do this yet.
The Rat Man, who has been retreating for a long time, still maintains his aggressive offensive posture.
It's just that there is not enough fire support. Just relying on one shot will have to change places. Poor, there is only one lightning cannon.
It is undoubtedly difficult to end this stalemate.
In the aggressive attack, the situation eventually fell into a helpless stalemate.
The war continues.
………….
Lianyan Province, this province has recently returned to peace.
The rat warlords fled in defeat, and the royal knights pushed the battlefield to the barren mountains at the junction of the provinces.
Not only has the province returned to calm, but the mountain people who had been bothering Duke Lianyan in the past were suddenly no longer a problem.
The sadistic rat warlords completely defeated the mountain tribes of all sizes in the mountains.
It has been the long-cherished wish of the Lianyan Provinces for several worlds to completely take Lianyan Province into their hands, but they have never been able to fulfill it.
Now, it's so simple, so simple, it even feels vaguely ridiculous.
And even Duke Yan couldn't laugh at all about this.
The achievement of all this is not like a pie-in-the-sky situation without having to pay anything. Standing up, from this position, his study room, he could overlook the prosperous port not far away.
Lianyan Province, Lianyan Family, the name of the city that is the center of the province seems to be easy to guess, yes, Lianyan City.
This is a port city standing under a cliff.
A broad river connects Lianyan City to many cities in the empire, and even the imperial capital. This has created the prosperity of Lianyan City and the Lianyan family, and also made Grand Duke Lianyan the most direct person to the imperial royal family among the many great nobles. A man who cannot afford his waist.
It was dark outside the window.
The sun does not rise, and the port that he is most proud of is difficult to see clearly. He can only see countless flowing lights.
It all comes at a price.
The stagnant trade exchanges after the long darkness fell made Lianyen City a little deserted for a time. However, recently, cargo ships have arrived one after another, and various resources have been transported. , the warehouses on the river port were quickly filled up in a very short period of time.
This should be a good thing, but these transported things are all military supplies without exception.
Enough to support a large-scale war.
Lianyan Province has become the forefront of wars and disputes, and he will also become a pawn in this war.
It's hard to tell whether to cry or laugh.
But at least, the only thing to be thankful for is that the prince, and the imperial royal family behind the prince, have not decayed to such an unbearable state, and have shown great power.
It can barely give him a little more peace of mind.
In any case, following the strong is not a particularly bad thing.
Duke Lianyan, who was in a complicated mood, thought so.
But, has Lianyan Province really returned to peace? Among the many rat warlords who invaded this area, the whereabouts of one of the boldest guys has not yet been truly determined.
The rat army that crossed the river also seemed to disappear out of thin air during this period of time, without a trace.
