Dark clouds were gathering, covering the entire sky above the Greta Fortress at an alarming speed. In less than a minute, the originally clear sky was already shrouded in dark clouds like nightfall. The wind filled with moist water vapor blew between the plains and hills, and even the swaying of the trees from the direction of the jungle sounded like there was a vague sound of surging water - the soldiers on the position were desperately resisting the aberrant offensive. They quickly noticed this extraordinary change. The soldiers who still had the strength to spare looked up and immediately saw the "smiling face" that stretched across half of the sky and continued to enlarge.
"What the hell is that?!" A knight captain with a hideous scar on his cheek looked at the floating smile in the clouds in amazement. The weirdness of this thing was too evil no matter how you looked at it, so much so that he had experienced hundreds of The fighting knight suddenly felt hairy all over his body, "That cloud is grinning at me! And it looks like a girl's face!"
A howl of missiles piercing the air came from nearby. Next to the knight captain, a battle mage responsible for the fire suppression of the team fired a series of arcane missiles in the direction of the enemy. Then the extraordinary person who had cast spells until he was unconscious also He looked up, rubbed his eyes subconsciously, and muttered as if he was dreaming: "Am I about to die? I heard that when people are dying, they will see the faces of the people closest to them in the sky My grandfather died Then you turned into a beautiful girl in heaven?"
Before the battle mage finished speaking, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from nearby, and then a knight in light armor rushed over from the corner of the bunker. The young messenger knight shouted loudly: "The King's Order! Friendly fire is about to arrive, leave this area immediately, and evacuate the entire army towards Greta Fortress! The king¡¯s order, all troops withdraw to Greta Fortress!¡±
"Withdraw?!" The knight captain grabbed the messenger knight who was about to run in front of him, "Friendly troops? Where did the friendly troops come from? Didn't you say there are no reinforcements?"
"I don't know! Just do as you are told!" the messenger knight said quickly, turned around and ran quickly to the other side of the bunker, continuing to loudly convey the direct orders of King Odris as he ran.
The order he received a moment ago was to hold the position at all costs, but at this time, the order for the entire army to retreat came. This made the knight captain a little confused, but it did not affect his obedience to the order at all - he quickly put aside all the doubts in his mind. After suppressing it, the battle-experienced captain grabbed the battle mage next to him who was obviously distracted. His loud voice echoed on the front line he was responsible for: "Retreat!"
On the narrow wasteland leading to the wasteland, between the layers of bunkers and blocking steel drills built to fight against the aberrations, the soldiers of the High Mountain Kingdom, who had fought bloody battles for almost a day and night, began to retreat quickly, and as they retreated, they He did his best to leave a large number of magic traps and mana crystals in a dangerous critical state on the front line. In the temporary command post behind the front line, King Odris's sight continued to scan the sky, and he was getting more and more In the dense rain, I watched the changes in the gathering clouds.
"The order to retreat has been issued, Your Majesty," the commander's voice came from the side, "The aberrations are rapidly occupying our previous position."
"Very good, we are also preparing to withdraw to the fortress," Odris nodded and said quickly, "Remember to leave some explosives - it turns out that those charged Rebecca crystals can be very effective even if they are not fired as cannonballs. Big effect.¡±
The commander immediately accepted the order, but Prince Lorraine beside him couldn't help but ask: "Father, do we really want to completely withdraw from here? Maybe we can leave some elite rangers to cooperate with Cecil and Hai Regarding demons"
"You don't understand their fighting style - especially the Cecil people." Odris shook his head and looked at his heir who had just grown up and lacked a lot of experience. "On the battlefield, with the Cecil people, The best cooperation is to leave their fire coverage as soon as possible. The sooner the better. If you have seen those video materials, you will know that the new magic cannon they use is completely different from the 'long-range firepower' you know. concept¡¡"
Soon after, the temporary headquarters where Odris was located also began to retreat in an orderly manner. The flag representing the Kingdom of Gaoling was lowered from the rapid wall built by the "Turn Mud into Stone" technique, and behind them, The dark clouds covering the entire battlefield have reached a critical point. The sky, which is almost the same as night, is filled with substantial moisture. And between the thick clouds, a huge figure shrouded in a faint light Suddenly it flashed through the darkness.
Asarena in the form of a giant dragon passed through the thick clouds. She was covered in a mechanical armor made of steel. The faint light of the navigation light flickered at the end of the dragon's wings and tail.It continued to spread and began to spread rapidly towards the east.
Byron glanced at the dark clouds covering the sky, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Cassandra standing next to him, with a somewhat strange expression on his face: "Speaking of the 'signal' you gave to the defenders of the Kingdom of High Mountain. It was actually understood"
"The main reason is that His Majesty Gawain communicated well with the southern battlefield before," Cassandra laughed. "Of course, General Vanessa's battlefield wisdom is more important"
"To be honest, I don't think hanging a smiling face in the sky that is bigger than the city is any kind of 'battlefield wisdom'. That thing can scare people with average endurance out of their psychological shadows - you can do this." The news of the arrival of friendly forces was successfully conveyed to me. In my opinion, this is almost a miracle." Byron twitched his lips, "It's also fortunate that the other side has enough understanding"
"There is no way," Kassandra spread her hands helplessly, "After arriving here, I found that all the magic network hub towers on the border have been destroyed by aberrations, the magic environment on the battlefield is still unprecedentedly chaotic, and the communication equipment of the Bitter Winter is completely We can't contact Greta Fortress, and the brains on the front line are almost knocked out, so we can only make a temporary solution. Anyway, if we don't discuss the details, the final effect will be pretty good, isn't it?"
" Anyway, next time I hear you talking about 'battlefield wisdom' and 'adaptation', I must ask carefully." Byron sighed, and then his attention returned to the distant battlefield. In the aerial reconnaissance footage sent back by Asarena, he could clearly see the process of the aberrant army's offensive being gradually disintegrated under fire bombardment, but he knew that these fire support alone would not be able to destroy the Greta Fortress. The entire narrow plain to the north was recaptured.
From Greta Fortress to the Star Temple Advancement Base in the east, the entire southern battlefield has a narrow and complex front line, and this front line has been transformed by the firepower of aberrations and mortal defenders during the repeated seesaws throughout the winter. A fragmented and chaotic land full of ruins, traps, and magic points. On such a vast and complex battlefield, fire support has its limits.
"After this round of firepower is released, it will be time for the expeditionary force led by General Vanessa to 'land'," Byron glanced at the mechanical clock fixed on the pillar next to him and said to Cassandra in a deep voice, "As planned , we will first ensure the security of the northern area of ??Greta Fortress, and establish a forward base after you capture the area. Then my marines will ensure the security of the northwest border of the Kingdom of High Mountain here, and completely block the flow from the The aberrant legion moving south in the Ogure region, and you continue to move towards the eastern region in the form of rain until you meet up with the Millennium Legion of the Silver Empire - is that okay?"
Cassandra closed her eyes slightly and communicated with General Vanessa in the psychic echo, who was currently controlling the weather environment at high altitude. After a moment, she opened her eyes and nodded slightly to Byron: "I have confirmed with General Vanessa again. For follow-up actions, she is just waiting for your signal flare."
"Okay." Byron breathed out softly, then stared at the beating hands on the mechanical clock, feeling the vibrations coming from the ship under his feet as the main gun bombarded him, and his mind calmed down like never before.
Fighting side by side with allies from the deep sea - this was not in his original plan, and due to the astonishing differences between the sea monsters and the land races in terms of technology trees, fighting methods, physiological structures, etc., the first cooperation between the two parties was also doomed Unable to achieve such tacit and exquisite cooperation, instead of formulating a lot of tactics and ending up in constant situations due to miscommunication on the chaotic battlefield, he and Vanessa both believed that the problem should be solved with a simple and crude method.
In the first step, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet with long-range heavy firepower launched firepower to clear the area on the Aldo River, smashing all the most powerful artillery shells within the range, directly destroying the vanguard of the aberrations, and clearing a large area. out of the landing field.
In the second step, before the aberrants could react, the soldiers of the Siren Expeditionary Force directly brought justice from the sky - with sufficient preparation and the form switch in advance, the well-trained Sirens could rain down Carrying out airborne operations without worrying about casualties, they will quickly establish frontline positions on the landing site cleared by Byron. At the same time, this carefully prepared "rain" will also transform the entire area's environment in a short period of time, making it more beautiful. Being close to the "water environment" makes it easier for the Krakens to perform.
The hands on the mechanical clock reached the last tick, and the roaring sound of artillery fire on the river stopped.
¡°Send the signal,¡± Byron ordered in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s time to rain.¡±
