Chapter 996 Directional Ignition

On the front line of Winter Wolf Castle, the fire of war has been ignited on this land, and it is still burning.

On the east side of the defense line, a fierce battle has just ended in the narrow and long river valley. A group of Typhon Transcendents tried to covertly and detoured from the river valley to attack the supply line of the Cecil people, but during the march, they alerted a team that happened to be temporarily stationed nearby. Mobile Corps - A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the encounter. An army of superhuman beings and ordinary people armed with steel machines set the entire area on fire. Three hours later, the remnants of Typhon retreated, and Cecil, who suffered certain battle damage The corps rested on the spot at the commanding heights of the river valley and continued to be vigilant until the reinforcements from the rear arrived.

A young officer with bronze skin came to this battlefield that was still smoking gunpowder. The cold north wind whistled through the river valley, and the wind was wrapped in the pungent smell of the scorched earth and the carbonization of flesh and blood. All of this made the young man trusted by Maryland couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

He looked up in the direction of the end of the ramp, and saw three destroyed tanks lying in the blast crater, with smoke billowing from under the twisted and bent armor plates, and farther away he could see Soldiers in action - Soldiers are sweeping the battlefield and packing bodies into body bags.

The Typhons didn't take all the corpses with them when they retreated - these dangerous remains are best brought back and burned completely, leaving them here, not knowing what trouble could happen.

A company commander wearing second-generation magic armor and a blue heraldic sash on one shoulder came to the high ground, and gave a military salute to the bronze-skinned young officer: "Sir Payne, the corpse is restrained. The work is over."

"Well," the young officer named Payne nodded, then frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the wrecked chariots, "...The Typhons are gradually mastering the fighting chariots in small-scale conflicts. The way to do it...without relying on legion-level spells, their transcendent troops can also fight our tanks."

"It does seem to be true - their tactics have improved rapidly and have been learning from us," the company commander nodded. "Now they have completely stopped using melee troops to hit tanks head-on, and rely on all kinds of extraordinary The enemy units cooperate with each other to fight in small groups - when conditions permit, they will use various magic traps, and when conditions do not permit, they will form a team of five to ten people with powerful knights to resist one To two shells, the mage quickly cast spells with cover, trapping the chariot with mire or rock-like spells, and at the same time using counter-spells such as arcane blast to try to disrupt the magic cycle inside the car, and the stalker to perform close-range blasting. , or rely on multiple mages to cooperate to attack...

"At present, these tactics of the Typhons often require large casualties and can only deal with a small number of tanks and multi-purpose vehicles, but it is a fact that their tactics are constantly improving - and they also engage in There are some very powerful 'new things', such as the explosives used by stalkers, they are very dangerous."

"...How can a mixed army formed by superhumans be so difficult..." Payne couldn't help frowning,

"It was obvious that they were powerless against our steel chariots in the encounter not long ago..."

"Before the war with Typhon, we had never seen such an opponent who could use the Transcendent as an ordinary soldier," the company commander said bluntly, "not even mentioned in the historical files of Changfeng Fortress. This mix of troops and tactical changes - something that Typhon should have developed in the last few years."

"We haven't seen the 'Extraordinary Army', so we were caught off guard," Payne couldn't help sighing, "and Typhon has never seen the 'Ordinary People Army' using steel machines, and they were also caught off guard... This is a game An eye-opening war for both sides."

His eyes swept across the battlefield, and Typhon's black flag fell on the icy ground, stained with mud and ash, and the red lines on its surface were particularly eye-catching.

Typhon was at his weakest and ushered in this war, which made him feel sincerely fortunate - this kind of thinking might not be "chivalry" enough, but Payne knew that the era of chivalry was over.

After thinking for a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the company commander beside him: "Have those corpses been preliminarily examined? What was the result?"

"Yes, the inspection has been carried out, and the results are basically in line with General Philip's prediction," the company commander said immediately, "Several enemy commanders have signs of physical mutation and can be identified as 'completely infected', most ordinary The bodies of the knights and some of the auxiliary soldiers also showed superhuman strength and resilience, and could be identified as 'spiritual aliens'. All of the above-mentioned enemies were sensible. As for the mages who accompanied the army...they didn't seem to be polluted by the spirit of the god of war. "

"...So, in these Typhon troops sent to attack the Winter Wolf defense line, the proportion of people with mental pollution is increasing, especially the officer class..." Payne nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, " When the Winter Wolf line of defense just fell into our hands, only about half of the officers who came to counterattack were spiritually contaminated..."

"Isn't this normal?" The company commander was a little confused. "This shows that the pollution is spreading in the Typhon army, and more and more soldiers and officers are affected by the Mad God - their infection is on the verge of getting out of control."

"No," Payne shook his head, with a serious look on his face, "you've got one thing wrong—although we call this a 'spiritual plague,' the speed and scope of its contamination are actually It was limited from the beginning, and it is unlikely that such a rapid infection will occur today.

"This 'spiritual plague' uses the belief in the God of War as the basic medium. According to the analysis of the above scholars, only when the belief in the God of War reaches a certain degree of piety will human beings be infected by it - so if you are not a devout follower of the God of War , then you won't be infected anyway, and if you're a god of war, you've been affected in the first days of this 'plague'."

The company commander listened to his commander's explanation and finally reacted slowly: "That is to say, the number of 'infected' in Typhon's army should have reached a stable state a few days ago, and theoretically this should not happen. An abnormal increase...but what about those sudden increases in infections?"

"...I don't know," Payne shook his head and looked into the distance, "but we should figure it out soon."

...

In the east of Winter Wolf Castle, in a snowy forest near an unnamed mine, several hazy figures were swiftly passing between the trees and the snow.

Those figures are as nimble as beasts in the forest, and their whole bodies are shrouded in some kind of ever-changing magical halo. Under the influence of the magic effect, their figures are almost completely integrated with the surrounding environment. Only by watching carefully can they perceive one of them. Flashing silhouettes—they swiftly crossed the borders of the snowy forest, around paths rarely covered by hunters, and finally stopped at a secret hideout deep in the woods.

A giant tree that has been dead for an unknown time has fallen here. The huge tree trunk has just weathered and decayed to form a wooden wall that shields the wind and snow. Several other soldiers wearing white light armor and white smocks are guarding here. When the team that went to investigate the situation returned, these soldiers instinctively raised their vigilance, but soon they confirmed the identity of the visitor through the identification seal they carried, and they relaxed a little.

"It's safe, you can turn off the curved light field."

A low voice seemed to sound out of thin air, and then the figures returning from outside the snow forest lifted their disguise one by one, revealing the same attire as the soldiers left behind in the hideout.

This is a team of Iron Rangers deep into the territory of Typhon - in this snow-covered season, they have changed into equipment that is easy to operate in the snow-covered area, and all carry the curved light field that can hide their bodies. generator.

They have been operating in this area for two days, and at the same time, there are several teams operating in several other areas nearby.

"What about Sir Solderin?" The team leader who returned from outside the snow forest glanced at the obvious hiding place, and asked casually with curiosity, and the moment his voice fell, a magnetic voice almost came out of his eyelids Zixia passed over: "I'm here."

The blond Soldering stood up from a nearby stake - the soldiers didn't even realize he existed until he made a sound and made a move!

The Silver Elf's high-level ranger doesn't even need to use any extraordinary skills to appear "invisible" in front of ordinary people. This incredible ability made the team leader a little in awe, and then he hurriedly gave a military salute to Solderin. Said: "Sir, we came back from Pine Forest Town, and the operation went smoothly."

"Tell me about your findings," Solderling said - there was always a hint of melancholy in his graceful demeanor. "The other teams haven't replied yet. You were the first to complete the investigation."

"Yes, sir," the team leader nodded immediately, "the informant's information is accurate. We saw that several buildings in the Typhon Barracks near Pinewood Town have replaced the coat of arms on the outer walls. Judging from the shape , that should be the resting place for noble officers and knights of honor. In addition, we also saw several large-scale people entering and leaving, and there was an army gathering at an intersection in the southeast. Judging from the flag and coat of arms, it should be from A certain national knight order in the central region..."

Listening to the organized report of the squad leader, Soldering nodded slowly: "Very good, you have seen something very important."

"It's a pity that we can't go further southeast," the team leader shook his head regretfully, "The magic post over there is too tight, and there are mage eyes everywhere - magicians don't want money, even the entrance to the village. There are mages standing guard, and our curved light field may fail there."

"...It's not that magicians don't want money, it's that Typhon has always been rich," Soldering curled his lips, and couldn't help but comment with a sentence Gawain once said, "That's how banknote ability is."

While speaking, the handsome blond elf seemed to have a more melancholic temperament in his eyebrows, but he soon shook his head: "In the next communication, I will share the information you have probed with the information collected last time. And to the rear, everyone rests for a while - then we'll move places again."

After the explanation, the high-level ranger turned around and left the hiding place, and swiftly came to a nearby tree. He used the leaves that never fall in winter to hide his figure, and he was half vigilant and half resting among the branches of the tree. sat down.

"Sir, are you in a bad mood today?" The squad leader couldn't help but glance over there and said to his comrades beside him, "I feel like he's frowning."

"He's been like this lately, it's okay," a steel ranger soldier said casually, "Elves, it is said that they are very emotional, maybe they will feel emotional when they see the snow scene here, dead trees, barren mountains, etc... "

The captain thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Oh, it makes sense..."

The warriors kept their conversation low, but these voices still did not hide from the keen ears of the elves.

Sitting on the branch, Soldrin's ears twitched, but he didn't pay attention to the boring chatter of his subordinates. He just adjusted his posture slightly, which hardly caused any shaking of the branch, and then raised his head with a hint of melancholy. Looking down at the clear blue sky in winter.

After a long time, he sighed softly: "...Why do they have no hair?

"What's changed... can that be counted..."

...

"This is the latest information from the front line," Hetty put a sorted document in front of Gawain in the study room of Cecil Palace, "The defense line of Winter Wolf Castle has stabilized, although the Typhonians counterattack once. It was more ferocious than once, but we dispatched more troops in time, and the zero and the earthly python also arrived near the Shadow Swamp in time, and the warriors finally stopped there."

Gawain took the document handed over by Hetty, and while listening to the other party's report, his eyes swept across the paper quickly. Soon, the speed of his gaze slowed down, and after Hetty's voice fell, he said to himself. He said to himself, "Sure enough... the proportion of 'polluter' in Typhon's army has increased..."

"Theoretically, there can be no such 'surge' of spiritual pollution spread through the chains of belief - unbelievers will not be polluted, devotees will be polluted in large quantities at the beginning, and between these two groups of people, the spiritual pollution of the gods There's no 'human-to-human transmission,'" Hetty said, "so . . . the situation really hits your mark."

"Yes, let me guess," Gawain said with a smile, his expression complicated and subtle, "Look here, these signs of mobilization, these complex, subtle and rapid reorganizations..."

He sighed, the expression on his face was whether he was crying or laughing.

"These 'new' infected people are gathered and dispatched from the rear, and Rosetta Augustus is unleashing his massive ruling machine and war machine, in a series of personnel adjustments, the soldiers who are affected by the god of war are constantly being transferred. Sent to the front line of Winter Wolf Castle - he is using our power to purify this pollution, maybe... is also using this to purge his political enemies."

Listening to Gawain's words, Heidi's expression also became strange.
