Chapter 1343 The King’s Decision

In the next half month, a strange stalemate formed on the Wolf Heart battlefield.

The devils who captured the four cities early should have erected a new batch of mist storage towers in preparation for swallowing up the wolf heart and then breaking into the morning light. But the actual situation is that they have been frustrated at every turn by the mobile power of the First Army. Except for Shenchi Bay near the sea, the other three cities have never been able to build fog storage towers.

Under repeated attacks by the Sky Knights, the nobles and citizens who were originally responsible for transporting the red mist were also shaken, which forced the devil to withdraw some troops to supervise and control the normal operation of the blood line. Coupled with the forward expansion of the defense line, the shortage of manpower has become increasingly obvious.

The First Army, based on the idea that it would make money just by firing artillery, did not insist on launching an attack on the four cities. The devils patrolling on the outermost edge of the defense line were also their hunting targets. Several steam trucks quickly arrived at the preset positions, then lowered their fortress guns, fired two rounds at the place where the devils gathered, and then loaded the trucks to evacuate. Such small-scale battles occurred almost every day.

Under the attack from the front and rear by biplanes and artillery units, the Devil did not blindly defend passively. They have organized many attacks. Even when the vanguard attacked Cage Mountain, a mixed force of humans and devils was organized in the rear. They took the opportunity to destroy the roads near Cage Mountain and used black powder in the process.

However, the north-south artery had been connected at this time, and the cement produced by the Dawn Kingdom could be transferred to the front line at any time. Those simple roads that were blown up could often be repaired as before with the cooperation of the Lianhe engineering team overnight. Although the low temperature and wind and snow have greatly lengthened the cement solidification time, in the final analysis it is only a matter of cost-efficiency. The stable sand and gravel surface layer is crushed and repaired - after the completion of the artery project, a large number of idle construction teams gathered In the Congshan area, the First Army has no shortage of manpower in this area.

As the tug-of-war continued, the Devil's offensive became increasingly sluggish, completely losing the momentum of the initial full-line attack. The front lines of both sides solidified for a while.

…

"grown ups……"

Hykezord raised his head, looked at Siasis who was about to speak, and then slowly closed his eyes, "Speak."

It can be seen from the other party's expression that this is definitely not good news. However, there has been too much bad news recently, and it is no longer interested in expressing its anger and disappointment.

"Totorok personally led the team to attack the human command post on Cage Mountain, and finally died heroically on the front line." Siasis bowed his head and said, "...it fulfilled its promise."

It fulfilled its promise but failed to fulfill its mission. Hykezord didn't have much reaction to this long-anticipated result. It doesn't even want to ask about the specific circumstances when its subordinates died in battle - when fighting against the Federation, the death of every high-level promotion means that the challenger has a good background, and collecting intelligence about it is necessary. But fighting with today's humans, if you are not careful, you will die under those weird firearms. It can completely imagine the final scene of its subordinates.

Totorok personally led the team, which meant that it was the last combatable unit of the Western Front Army. It has gained glory, but it is meaningless to the tribe. If this subordinate was not transformed from the Hell Lord and is only good at charging into battles but not good at manipulating magic stones, it would be better to be transformed into a high-level warrior than to be killed by human firearms. The use of parasitic eye guards may be even greater.

But it was impossible for the Lord of the Sky to say these words in front of another subordinate.

What's more, the current situation is not Totorok's problem alone.

No matter how brave and wise a general is, it will be difficult for him to be of great use if he does not have enough troops.

It was itself that ordered the immediate attack.

And the one who limits the number of troops on the Western Front... is the king.

No, no, the king has given it enough support. The most hateful ones are Bloody and Mask. If the former can mobilize more horns, and if the latter can provide a sufficient amount of symbiote as agreed, the result should be completely different. That’s——

Hackzord couldn't help but tightly clenched the new palm that had sprouted flesh.

But...will it really be completely different?

The next moment, a lingering thought came to mind.

With the number of people doubling again, the Western Front Army can indeed occupy the entire Wolf Heart, but then there are Dawn and Gray Castle. How many more people will it need?

"Everyone..." The Lord of the Sky couldn't help but blurt out.

"Sir?" Siasis asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

"Nothing." It shook its head. Yes, Ersluk has already given the answer.

"Abandon the cities that have mined the divine stone veins, give up most of the land to the Sky and Sea Realm, and then devote all the troops to the Dawn Realm. Not ten times the current plan, but all - including existing and new ones. , continue until the end of mankind."

This was the conclusion reached by the subordinate he valued most.

At that time, all the great kings thought this was just an unrealistic conjecture, but now it seems that it can somewhat understand Ersluk's thoughts at that time.

After hesitating for a long time, Hackzord made up his mind.

It took a deep look at the motionless Nightmare King, stood up and walked out of the mayfly pond.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"The top of the Tower of Birth." The Lord of the Sky said solemnly, "I want to apply to the king to convene a Holy See Council!"

…

The rolling sea of ​​mist beneath its feet and the Tower of Birth with giant eyes in the center gradually appeared before its eyes - seeing this scene, it breathed a sigh of relief. The Holy See Council is usually issued by the king. Not only does this kind of proactive application go beyond the limits, but it will also arouse the dissatisfaction of other princes. After all, not everyone is willing to enter this realm of consciousness where the king controls everything.

In the past, Hykezord also had an instinctive resistance to entering the Holy See of Dominance, but now it has no better choice. Only through this method can it tell the king and all the great kings its thoughts.

Fortunately, Wang did not reject its application.

About a quarter of an hour later, other princes appeared on the cantilevered seats one after another.

"It's you again...Hykezord." Bloody Urn said, "I don't know what there is to talk about on the Western Front, but I actually need to trouble the king to open the holy throne. Is it possible that what you are going to report next, More important than a nightmare lost in the realm of consciousness?”

"That's right, when Vakiris lost consciousness, you just reported it to the king alone," the mask then agreed, "Now you are convening a Holy See meeting like this, don't tell everyone about your sky. The city is about to be conquered by those bugs - I have finally allocated a large amount of resources to cultivate symbionts for you."

This guy... is beating around the bush again to shirk responsibility from himself. Hykezord glanced at it coldly. He had promised to have five times the symbiote, but only about half of it had been delivered so far. Although there is a reason for the strengthening of Tianhaijie's offensive, it is also a fact that it did not reach the agreed number. If it had been in the past, it would never have missed this opportunity to attack the opponent.

It's just that now Hykezord can't even arouse any interest in a verbal dispute.

"Enough." The king's voice came into everyone's mind, "I think the Lord of the Sky must have his own reasons for applying for the Holy See Council. It is not too late for you to express your opinions after listening."

"In addition..." The eyes on the Tower of Birth all looked at Hykezord, "Nightmare's loss is not your fault. I also agreed to the request to send additional Silent Disasters to assist you in the battle, so I hope your report will be the best. It’s better not to resort to clichés like complaining and asking for troops, otherwise you’re just wasting each other’s time.”

Hackzord suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

It swallowed its saliva and replied bravely, "Dear King, what I want to talk about is indeed the assistance situation on the Western Front, but it is not just one or two troops or more horns, but..."

The Lord of the Sky paused and looked into the king's bottomless eyes, "——The God of Divine Creation."
