Chapter 366 Fallen Wings of Steel

When the eastern border of the empire faced rebellion and repression, the army of the fairy tree finally reached the northern border.

Under the Crocodile Tooth Ridge, large tents are connected together, dotted on the originally barren grassland, making the place full of vigor and vitality.

These tents are distributed in different square military camps, and the flags of fairy trees are flying around the camp. There are also airships coming and taking off and landing in the sky from time to time, which is very busy.

in the central camp.

An airship like a giant gray whale was parked here, and the airship was lowered down the deck steps and there were people in white robes passing orders and commanding each detachment, just like the heart of this large camp.

Transparent windows separated the cold wind from the outside and the warm interior, and several high-ranking committee generals were sitting in a small conference room to discuss their next actions.

"The messenger sent to Duke Raven some time ago has returned." A general sat on the top and told everyone the current situation.

"Oh, the result." The others looked at the general.

"It's not ideal. We thought Duke Raven would consider it a little bit, even if he bargained with us, but unfortunately the other party refused directly."

"After the messenger came back, he told us that the negotiation was no longer realistic, because the Duke of Raven, or the nobles of the north, thought that giving up the name of the family and the oath to the empire. To give up the land that was hard for the ancestors to develop is simply a an insult."

"They take it for granted and think it's sacred and legitimate, and that's deeply rooted in people's minds."

"Well, it seems that we still have to fight, and how many soldiers have lost their homes because of this."

"But if you don't fight, it will only hurt more in the back."

"Our duty is to liberate the entire empire, and now is the final test."

"Let's start drawing up a battle plan."

"Yes."

In the conference room, several generals and staff officers were constantly analyzing the distribution of the northern coalition forces, moving chess pieces on the simulated map, telling the route, fiery and engrossed, even the fire in the stove on the side was slowly extinguished without anyone noticing.

The cold wind outside the window is getting stronger and stronger, and there are bursts of fine snowflakes in the sky. It is autumn now, and winter will be in a few months.

The battle officially started half a month later. The scouts in snow suits first went deep into the north, scouting for various intelligence, while the army entered the cold land of the north along the avenues on both sides of Crocodile Tooth Ridge. .

Along the way, the army of Fairy Wood relied on advanced cannons and sufficient supplies to conquer the fortresses and castles along the way. , mostly fighting sporadic defenders.

In this way, the scene of victory all the way continued until November, when the army of the fairy tree has penetrated into the land of the north, and the battle scene has also changed from the fields and hills with excellent vision to the thick coniferous forest with snow. There are also steep peaks and valleys.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Although the cold disaster has passed, the severe weather in the north still poses a huge obstacle to the advance.

Most of the soldiers of Fairy Wood are from the south and have little experience in keeping warm, and the non-combat attrition began to increase along the way, which led the commander to let the four seasons witches who accompanied the army waste a lot of magic power to arrange the windproof and warm enchantment, so as to maintain the cold weather. Get a good night’s sleep without getting frostbite at night.

In December, the coldest time in the north came slowly. Walking on a road full of snow, soldiers carried guns and walked in the wind and snow. Most of the sights were white, white ground, white The forest, the white distant mountains, etc., are monotonous and boring, and you can only hear the sound of yourself stepping on the snow.

"Bam—"

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded from the rear, and then the soldiers heard several explosions one after another, and then the sound of musket fire.

When they received the order and were about to return to support, there was also a fierce shout of killing in front of them. After two rounds of salvos, a group of unfamiliar soldiers rushed down the hillside with their axes high and crashed directly into the formation.

Dressed in tattered fur, these warriors fought alongside musket-wielding soldiers, whose skillful axe-wielding skills easily smashed through the erected defenses, slashed the soldiers over, and pushed on, causing even greater chaos. .0m

"Array, array! Square array!"

The officers shouted loudly, and then the soldiers formed a square formation in the snow-covered valley, solidifying.

The battle continued, and these strange warriors continued to rush towards the formation, but were penetrated by the hedgehog-like spears outside, stopped, and then the loaded musketeers aimed and opened fire behind the front. These ragged warriors Fall in rows.

It was more than an hour after the gunfire gradually ceased on the battlefield.

"Count the number of people, report the number!"

"Yes, sir." Then a clear count came from the snow valley.

After this battle, the advancing team lost about 600 people, about one-tenth of the entire team, and the opponent also paid the price of more than 800 people.

Such a similar ambush in the snow began to occur everywhere in the march, and the logistics of transporting materials began to be frequently attacked, and many things were lost halfway, which made the army that lacked supplies and materials slower and slower.

"Damn!"

In the camp, the officers looked at the stretchers covered with white cloths, cursing at first, then quieting down, salutes before the fallen soldiers, and watched as their bodies were carried away for cremation.

The orange flame ignited in the snow, with a little green smoke, melting the snow on the ground, revealing the blue

The yellow grass, the trickle of snow water flows slowly.

The soldiers in the barracks watched the cremation scene, very silent, and their morale dropped a lot.

"It can't go on like this, we have to make changes."

After suffering various ambushes and blows, Fairy Tree's army simply stopped in place, no longer blindly attacking, but began to rectify the logistics route, set up guard locations along the way, and stabilize the previously liberated areas.

They advertised new ideas to the locals in the north and started actual construction, laying wide and straight roads, small factories producing daily necessities, building stylish but sturdy and warm houses, etc. Although the effect is slow, it is better than simplicity. and practical.

At the same time, while gradually getting on well with the local residents, Fairy Tree also gradually became familiar with the daily laws of the North.

"It's time to fight back."

In March of the following year, the weather slowly warmed up, the snow began to melt, and the army of the former fixed receipts and camps finally began to strike.

The iron-ash dragonwing roared across the sky, scouting the terrain and enemy forces below, and constantly gathering the movements of the northern coalition forces to the rear until a suitable attack plan was arranged.

The flames of war ignited again. Under the castle of Viscount Bran, in the cold maple collar, a group of soldiers ran forward despite the artillery fire on the city wall. Dropped a bomb, blasting a huge gap in the city wall, and then the soldiers rushed in, and the noble guards inside began to fight fiercely.

The bullets splashed, and there were sounds of shooting and explosions everywhere. After rushing into the city, some soldiers and the guards started a melee battle in the alley. The bayonets on the muskets were like long spears. They were held together and charged forward, while the other party also waved them. With a heavy axe, fight with these fairy wood soldiers.

Hot blood splashed on the cold stone bricks and snow, soldiers screamed and rushed to each other, one by one life shines and disappears at this moment.

"This is war, death is inevitable, and it is an honor."

There were several braziers in the icy hall, and the dark red flames reflected the figure above and plated a layer of faint red light.

The Duke of Raven, dressed in a gray-blue fur cloak, sat on the black throne, with a majestic northern aristocrat standing on both sides below. Most of them were dressed in thick fur coats, and inside was sturdy and finely textured armor. .

At this moment, in the center of the hall stood a woman in her 20s. She was a witch from the North, begging the Duke of Raven to end the current war and avoid causing more casualties.

It's just that this Raven Duke ruthlessly and directly refused such a request.

It is a joke to ask him to kneel down and beg for mercy to those stinky juniors in the south, fully surrender, and accept the conditions of reform.

My ancestors were the people of the Quicksilver Dynasty. How many hardships they have gone through, how many races they have defeated, and how many brilliant achievements they have achieved, hundreds of years ago, they finally walked out of Eternal Dark Island again and gained the power to live on this land again. But now there is someone who wants to give up their sovereignty with just a few words, fully accept the other party's ideas, and hand over the power of life and death to him. How is this possible?

Who can predict whether the other party will go back and keep his promise, all of which are too unbelievable to affect the balance in his heart.

It is true that Fairy Wood is a good organization, but it has not even been established for ten years, and its son is not older than his own. Now he is trying to persuade himself to surrender. This sounds so ridiculous, like an insult.

"I don't know if this is your personal opinion, or it represents the opinions of the witch factions behind you, but I will not agree to such a proposal."

After venting the anger in his heart, the duke's tone softened a little. After all, the witch in front of her had also made a lot of contributions to the North, otherwise there would be no chance to stand here.

"Go back, don't talk about this sooner."

"Yes, Lord Duke." The witch sighed, knowing that she could not change the king's mind, so she could only leave silently.

After the witch walked out of the hall, Duke Raven closed his eyes for a while and then opened them.

"Those wizards in the North Tower, what are the responses now?" He asked the recorder beside him.

"That's the answer from the chief wizard."

'Although the necromancy technique is powerful, its cruel nature is no longer easily accepted by the world. If adults want to use it, even if they win, they will face blows from all sides, the Church of Angels, the elves, and even the people of the Southern Islands. The kingdom of mages will go to war with us. ’

"Oh, I've heard that many years ago."

Although the chief wizard's words were not coaxing, Duke Raven still felt a sense of suffocation. He clearly had such a killer in his hand, but he could only put it away and wait quietly for the failure to end.

The reason why the northern nobles, who were the remnants of the Quicksilver Dynasty, did not see the army of undead that spread all over the mountains and fields after the war was now because of the restrictions on the secret techniques of necromancy in the past.

Although the Mercury Dynasty was brilliant, its historical background was also extremely cruel. Many of the use of necromancy techniques challenged today's ethics, stimulated the nerves of the public, and were difficult to be accepted and recognized.

The same is true, it is the Duke of Raven as a Necromancer who becomes the head of the nobles of the North, not other families of Necromancers.

Even if the necromantic sequence can still be researched and developed slowly in the north, its use and play have been restricted by all parties and cannot be used easily, unless it is the end of the chaotic disaster, when there is no hope.

"If that's the case, then we can only do our best."

After a long time, the Raven Duke opened

Tired eyes, his eyes slowly swept across the various lords present, and then stood up.

"Move the army and start the battle."

"Yes, my lord."

After seeing the leader of the North give the order, the lords present took orders and walked out of the hall.

This Ravenmoon City, which is located on a huge hill, is scattered with cavalry and messengers with a mission. They will spread the will of the Raven Duke and the Trey family to the whole of the north.

a month later.

Dark and icy steel armors are lined up on the snowfield, and rows of well-trained knights are lined up in an incomparably neat army formation, advancing slowly.

They held high the flag of the gray raven in their hands, and skeletal birds circled in the sky, overlooking the hundreds of black phalanxes below.

This permafrost wasteland was carefully selected by the Trey family. It was suitable for the northern cavalry to play, and the freezing of the ground was also beneficial for witches to cast spells.

The ancient and desolate horns sounded slowly, and these northern knights who followed ancient traditions and will advanced slowly, then gradually accelerated, the charge was mixed with debris and cold winds, under the cover of the icy fog.

There was a rapid and heavy vibration on the ground, and the soldiers of Fairy Wood stared at the hazy fog, clenched the shields in their hands, and swallowed nervously.

Soon, a group of knights in silver armor, black cloaks and smocks appeared in the field of vision, and at this time it was only fifty meters away from the front of the formation.

Intensive musket fire knocked down only a few knights in the front row, while the remaining knights continued to advance, leaving only a few sparks even if the bullets grazed the armor.

As the direct elite legion of the Trey family, the Raven Knights, after being silent for hundreds of years, once again showed its ruthless will and fighting power. The dark armor not only makes many spells invalid, even physical attacks are difficult to leave traces.

The cold and dead magic is entangled in the weapon, and when these raven knights rush into the front of the fairy tree, every swing will take away several lives.

In the face of these attacking 'death gods', even if the soldiers in the front wanted to fight back, they were trapped by a burst of ice cold, became slow and stagnant, and were easily beheaded by the opponent.

"Retreat! Let the Golem Legion come forward to resist!"

The soldiers in the front row of Fairy Tree kept retreating, and the tall steel golems in the back also stepped forward slowly, standing in front of them, the armors on both sides of their arms flipped forward, and then put them down heavily to form a piece, like a steel city wall , sturdy and unusual.

Afterwards, the cover on the head of the golem opened, revealing the cold and rotating barrel behind it, and enchanted crimson bullets shot out in the cold wind, leaving dense and fiery afterimages of fire in the air.

The dense clanging sound resounded on the raven knights. After a flutter of bullets, the dark knights who once defeated the wizards of Oz finally shattered their armor, flew up like broken dolls, and rolled to the ground.

In the sky, necromancers rode skeleton birds, flew over the front line of the army formation, and swooped down. Accompanied by the flapping sound of the wings was the silent whistling of ghosts. These translucent ghosts were commanded by the wizards. Pierce the golem's layers of armor, slay the mage and pilot within, and turn it into a stone-cold dead thing, then move on, destroying and disrupting the Fairy Tree's front lines.

A dense sound of bows and crossbows rang out from the icy fog, and then a pitch-black rain of arrows fell on the army formation of Fairy Tree, taking away a lot of life.

After the large-scale installation of muskets, shields have gradually become a dispensable thing. Now they are not standard for every soldier, and arrows falling from the sky have become extraordinarily dangerous.

"Disperse!" Looking at the scene in front of them, the Master Chiefs shouted loudly, then raised the butt of the gun and waved it continuously, trying to block and resist some of the arrows.

"Kill!"

The voice of shouting came from the icy fog, and the northern coalition forces rushed to the front line waved their weapons, quickly cleaned up the remaining soldiers on the battlefield, toppled the silent golems, and then rushed towards the rear of the front line by layer.

The situation began to be subverted. Seeing that the front of the fairy tree was about to be pierced, facing a huge defeat and collapse, a wind of flames rose up and blew towards the oncoming enemy. The fog dissipated for a while, the cold disappeared, and the air changed. Hot and humid.

"Fire, fire!"

After the observers at the rear gained the vision, the commanders ordered the artillery to lower the angle, shoot continuously, and exploded in the coalition forces in the north. At this time, they finally slowed down the opponent's offensive and gained a precious respite.

The front line began to be reconstructed, and the roar of the propeller of the dragon-wing aircraft came from the distant sky behind. The iron-ash body flew from the high sky, and flowers of flames rose from the ground. These dragon-wing aircraft were like fire dragons. changing the situation on the battlefield.

Facing the fierce and roaring war machine, Duke Raven waved his sword coldly, and the special 'Messengers' in black robes turned transparent and flew into the sky.

Soon after, the dragon-wing aircraft in the sky began to fall one by one, the fuselage was broken, and the flames and thick smoke billowed, piercing the sky with a growing whistling and crashing to the ground.

In the explosion and roar, these dragon-wing aircraft disintegrated in the impact, and then bounced slightly, gliding forward with flames and black smoke, making a sour steel twisting sound, the propellers were still turning, bringing up countless dirt and The crumbs didn't stop until the end.

The cold permafrost land is full of smoke and flames, screaming and fighting sounds are everywhere, and one by one lives will remain in this land forever.
