Five Hundred and Five Lifeless
The capital of the huge puppet empire, the centipede city Bulkeland with a strange layout, curled up in a desperate situation surrounded by mountains and rivers, forming a huge circular city.
The head of the centipede city is the center of the city, and around this head, the long body of the centipede coils up in circles, and the tail becomes the outermost hard line of defense.
This line of defense is very distinctive. The huge centipede legs are neatly arranged, making the city look like a super huge gear from the outside.
Travish's last reliance, Burkeland's City Guards, and the last magic legion of the Puppet Empire, are building fortifications outside this gigantic cog, though everyone knows it's just a useless death throes That's all.
Not to mention the terrible artillery fire and powerful ground forces of Alan Hill, that is, the sky fleet, it is enough to make Travish, who has no retreat, despair.
Without the help of demons, and without the vast strategic depth, Travish, who is fighting alone, is now at the end of the road, and there is no possibility of turning around again.
It's just that he himself is not willing to admit this. He gathered all the troops he could find and pushed his so-called secret weapon to the front line.
In fact, this so-called secret weapon does not have a high level of secrecy. Many people know that this secret weapon is the Grand Consul of the Holy Demon Empire who was fooled and lost his body.
He, or it, was made into a huge god puppet by using the technology provided by the devil.
The god puppet of this puppet empire has a huge body, can carry more magic energy, and naturally can use more powerful magic.
To put it bluntly, this is a puppet empire version of the super god puppet, without a powerful central processing unit, and without core computer-aided functions, the super god puppet of this puppet empire can only increase its size by increasing its own volume own fighting power.
Similar improvements are actually very limited. The huge body allows the former Grand Consul of the Holy Demon Empire to have more powerful power and magic reserves, but it also leaves the flaws of huge goals and slow actions.
With the addition of 40,000 puppet soldiers, more than 30,000 city guards, and more than 20,000 so-called magic legions—these are a total of 100,000 puppet empire troops. Hong's army of millions went south to Ireland Hill.
Before, when the frontline troops of Alan Hill were completely suppressed in terms of military strength, the puppet empire did not have the initiative on the battlefield.
Now they only have one-tenth of Alan Hill's combat troops. If they want to stop Alan Hill's footsteps, it can be said to be a dream.
In an inconspicuous tent, two of Travish's apprentices were drinking wine bottles with pale faces.
They have lost confidence in this war, and they can only numb their nerves with alcohol, so that they can sleep peacefully for a while on every night that is not cold, but makes them feel the cold wind.
"Drink! Drink! Tomorrow we will die here! Hiccup...we... will, will be blown up by a big bomb! Boom! Boom! Boom!" He couldn't understand the sketch of the defense line at all, and complained like the sound of an explosion.
The second apprentice sitting opposite him was also drunk, holding a cheap glass made by Alan Hill, which was smuggled into the puppet empire through an unknown channel, with a bitter expression on his face: "At the beginning...you said that I Why didn’t I learn magic from Magister Marvin back then? Haha! If I had followed Marvin... I wouldn’t be waiting to die here now!”
Both of their tongues were numb,
The speech is not clear at all. In addition, they were very drunk, so they were not chatting with each other at all, but talking to themselves non-stop.
Although neither of them was willing to come to the front to command the last troops of the puppet empire, and even though they were indeed not "the hope of the whole village", they were finally sent to the front by Travish.
Because Travish doesn't have any cronies to support, only students like them are left, and they can barely be trusted.
Travish also knew that the two of them were incompetent and had never commanded an army. Letting the two of them bring the last troops to resist Alan Hill would be a deadly choice.
So Travish still handed over the troops to the original commander who he didn't trust much, but he sent two of his apprentices to monitor the commander to ensure that he would not betray Travish, with These troops surrendered or fled.
Therefore, these two apprentices of Travish do not have any command authority, and they do not need to participate in any troop mobilization command. They are just responsible for keeping an eye on the commander of this troop, and judging whether the other party has a different intention. up.
It's a pity that as time goes by, Alan Hill's pressing footsteps are getting closer and closer-two days ago, Alan Hill's bomber greeted Burkeland, who could no longer move.
After the limited attack destroyed some of Burkeland's "centipede legs" and ensured that Burkeland could no longer move, these bombers locked their targets on the puppet empire troops that were deploying defenses outside the city.
These bombers frequented the positions, destroying anything they considered suspicious. Before the two sides actually fought, the puppet empire had already lost tens of thousands of troops.
yes! There is nothing wrong with this data, it is indeed tens of thousands! On the one hand, this loss reflects the large scale of bombing by the Alan Hill Air Force and the intensive bombing. On the other hand, it also shows the poor quality of the puppet empire's troops.
In fact, it is easy to understand that the troops concentrated here by Alan Hill are the 3rd Army Group and other follow-up combat troops, and the Air Force has more than 2,000 bombers of various types.
On average, for every 50 soldiers of the puppet empire, one bomber can be allocated to bombing and bombing. This ratio is already exaggerated.
On the other hand, on the side of the puppet empire, not only do they not have any decent air defense weapons and equipment, even the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns they were equipped with before are gone!
The composition of the troops stationed on the ground is extremely complicated. The tens of thousands of puppet soldiers are actually temporarily armed production puppets. Such puppets have low combat capabilities. Without relevant combat experience and skills, a large number of losses in the bombing will not be sufficient. No wonder.
In addition, the city guards of the puppet empire are also ordinary civilians who pretend to be numbers. Most of them have not undergone rigorous combat training, let alone strong will and fighting spirit.
It is barely enough to let them stand in the city to maintain law and order, or put on a show to support the scene, but it is a bit taken for granted to let them participate in the battle and compete with the experienced Alan Hill troops.
As for the Magic Legion... this troop was not even at the level of an ordinary regular army in the puppet empire army two years ago! Calling it the Magic Legion now only refers to its framework, not its combat effectiveness...
Now there are very few magicians in this army, and even fewer can adapt to high-intensity combat. Once a loss is encountered, it is difficult for this army to even replenish ordinary soldiers, let alone replenish magicians.
Just such a unit, although there is air defense awareness, but the air defense ability is almost zero, and there is no camouflage experience, and there is no suitable bunker - so it will suffer heavy losses immediately after being bombed, and it will lose one-tenth of the troops before it meets the enemy. troops.
This afternoon, Alan Hill's ground troops approached for reconnaissance, and a small-scale battle broke out between the two sides.
An Alan Hill's reconnaissance platoon accidentally crashed into a thousand-man army garrison of the puppet empire. Although the thousand-man army is not full due to the end of the puppet empire, it is still a relatively effective "main force".
More than 700 soldiers of the puppet empire besieged less than 30 Alan Hill scouts. After a fierce battle, the opponent retreated voluntarily, but caused a heavy loss of more than 70 casualties to this legion of the puppet empire.
As a result, on the side of the puppet empire, there were no decent results except for the bullet casings all over the place...
Such a huge gap in combat power made all the senior commanders of the puppet empire despair. Taking advantage of the darkness, the commander-in-chief of the puppet empire ordered to shrink his defense line, abandoning the two outer defense lines that were originally planned to guard, and retracting his troops to the core position.
Moreover, the general personally returned to Burkeland, requesting the Grand Magister Travish to continue to recruit troops, mobilize everyone in the city, strengthen the defense, and deal with the enemy as much as possible.
Travish, who knew that the situation was over, issued an order that all the people of Burkeland must fight, but no one carried out this order at all.
Many residents left Burkeland from the other side, and those who remained were also in chaos, unable to control and command at all.
Before Elanhill attacked, plumes of black smoke rose in the city—robbery and fighting broke out in many corners of the city. Once a magician entered the state of anarchy, his destructive power was stronger than that of holding an automatic rifle. There are almost fewer chaos troops.
At night, the two people who had no hope for a long time just sat in the tent to drink away their worries. They didn't even dare to use oil lamps, for fear of attracting bombs from Alan Hill.
Just like that, under the moonlight, the two drunks fell unconscious one after another, and the "last armed force of the puppet empire" they supervised fled by one-third overnight!
The officers of the restraining forces fled with the troops they commanded, one centurion by one centurion into an organized escape position.
The commander-in-chief, the general whom Travish didn't trust, didn't even give an order when he saw the troops were spiraling out of control. He just stood under the moonlight, watching his adjutant and most of his guards disappear into the distant night.
Farther away, it has never been so dark, and Burkeland, which has not even turned on a few decent lights, is lying across the night sky, lifeless and hopeless.
