Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

It's almost midnight.

The night that was supposed to be quiet and deep was eerily bright, the sky shone with a crimson glow, the dark clouds in the distance were as red as blood, and the high-intensity spell confrontation for a whole day caused the proportion of the elements in the atmosphere to be extremely imbalanced. Its direct expression, It is the crimson sky with no light of stars and moon.

The raid of the expeditionary force has come to an end, and the various ministries are being renovated. If it is not necessary, night battle is still the worst option. In the strategy room of the headquarters, the staff members are not resting, there is no sound in the tent, and the elves are silently doing their own work. The matter at hand, from time to time, aimed at His Excellency the Commander sitting at the desk.

The fifth time, they said in their hearts.

In response to the Aurora Kant who came from the east, they laid down layers of defenses and tried to surround, chase and intercept them in various ways. All of those methods achieved great success, because each time they successfully stopped Kant, but the result could not let the elves They were satisfied, and even made them gradually terrified.

Because the banner of the command changed again and again.

The demon from Aurora has crossed Harlem.

The bloodthirsty and brutal Terror Demon King has broken through Xia Ye.

The flesh-devouring Destroyer approached Grinsat.

The Sons of Slaughter slaughtered the Firefeather Chapter.

- What are you going to hang this time?

The wise and brave elf staff found that such a banner and a blood debt made them more than courage and anger.

And something they don't want to admit.

In particular, this battle report... Your Excellency Commander did not read it in front of everyone.

They only know that the one responsible for intercepting Kant this time is the Stoneheart Chapter.

The rare Magicalized Legion is also supported by various town garrison troops around its defense area, and they even have a large-scale air wing...

The elves asked with their eyes.

How long did they last...?

"We fight from dusk to night."

The battle report is in the hands of Lord Xiguang.

No... It's not so much a battle report, it's better to say that it's the commander of the Stoneheart Legion. The font is no longer elegant, even scribbled, and stained with blood.

"we lose."

Line by line, Expeditionary Force Commander Silvan Keller read silently.

"When I wrote this line of words, the last warriors of the Stoneheart Chapter had decided to offer their last loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen and the Council, just as flowers and leaves fell to the ground, merged into the earth, became nourishment, nurtured the new buds and buds, and With nature, the souls of warriors will also return to the great forest, into the arms of their mothers, guarding the glory of the twilight moon forever, watching the new warriors and the old comrades."

Sylvan Keller's mind sketched the appearance of the captain of the Stoneheart Chapter.

Bylamps, a respectable arcanist, was recruited by Dusk Moon, and he fought with sword and magic as an elves. He is a master of magical warfare. He has written a large number of tactical monographs, dedicated to combining traditional combat ideas with The fusion of new magic equipment has developed a new theory of warfare, completely changing the war situation.

As an arcane scholar, he was called up by the army, again due to factional strife in academic disputes.

But Bylamps did not complain, he was called to join the army, and he became a soldier and an officer, and even won recognition for his military merits and achievements, leading an army alone, which confirmed his theories and theories.

And left such a letter.

Thinking of this, Sylvan Keller felt a pain in his heart.

As a soldier, he has long been accustomed to life and death, but the brave and fearless elf warriors have just passed away, and the geniuses who originally had infinite possibilities have fallen in the beginning, one after another.

Majes, the master alchemist of the Transmission School, proved the feasibility of his own path with his life.

Now it's Baylamps' turn again...

He blinked his slightly sour eyes and sighed softly.

"We have a long life, and we are with nature. We were born in the forest, where we built our first civilization and country, and our destiny is here. We have long known that no matter how powerful predators are, they will be injured one day, and they will die one day. I am not afraid of such a result, no matter what the reason is, when we come to a foreign land, fight, and kill the enemy, we should also have the consciousness of being killed."

"I'm just frustrated and sorry, I don't want to die, I still have a lot to do."

Sylvan Keller watched slowly.

"In addition to being depressed and regretful, I am also happy. If I say that I am destined to die in the battlefield, if I say that I am destined to die in a defeat, then I am satisfied with the last battle of my life."

"We paid the price of failure and death, and learned a lesson. We lost, not just this battle, but the overall backwardness in the field of military and magic skills and even the theory of war. We encountered an unimaginable attack. I The battle was set up, the scouts were on parade, the mages were on guard, the magic device was warmed up and started, and then we were attacked, and death fell from the sky more than ten kilometers away."

"Explosion, different from the explosion of spells, splashed soil, violent fire, and invisible air waves that are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, spreading like a thin film, tearing the battle line, covering the casting position, extremely fast, coming Rapidity isn't any spell we know of, so dispel and block spells are almost useless, or our mage troops don't even have time to react."

"Every time, there are twelve terrifying attacks, smashing the magic circle, tearing the formation, and throwing the soldiers into the air. It takes less than six seconds on average, and the second blow comes swiftly. Within half a minute, we suffered Five full rounds of attacks, sixty explosions, and smoke and dust all around."

"We lost a third of the mages and a high-level heavy magic tool at the beginning."

"The array was scattered, the minds of the soldiers were shaken, and the steel-like discipline collapsed."

"Then, I organized the magic troop to fight back."

"Suppress the counterattack in the direction of the attack, the remaining mage regiment, warlock troop and magic device troop launched a counterattack at the fastest speed, the air force also dispatched reconnaissance, the rangers dispersed, the cavalry accelerated, all maneuvers The troops encircled in the direction of the attack at the fastest speed."

"I think, at least I need to know what it is that is attacking us."

"I didn't get what I wanted. The magic counterattack attacked. I commanded the magic strike force to continuously push the intensive spells towards the target direction in the way of Xu Jin attack. They reached their target location and found no enemy."

"The next moment, the sharp and crazy whistling sound swept across the sky, and there was a rumbling sound in the other direction. A terrifying explosion exploded in the cavalry group and in the remaining mage group."

"Our enemy has the ability to move at high speed."

"I don't believe that the continuous terrorist attack was a spell cast by Kant alone, because we found some traces at the first target site, it should be a dozen heavy magic tools, but Kant can bring them with them There is nothing more terrifying than a teleportation maneuver."

"I ordered the mage group to disperse, and ordered the cavalry to disperse, but it was too late. The cavalry unit suffered a devastating blow. The Snowfall Sword Saint and the Crimson Queen threw a lot of heavy alchemy bombs on them, and the killing of an alchemy bomb The radius is at least 200 meters, and it is useless to disperse the formation."

"I ordered the air force to turn around as quickly as possible, bite the enemy, and bite him before Kant was teleported away, at least to see what kind of weapon it was."

"Then the Air Force was wiped out."

"The river of flames, I saw six rivers of flames cut across the fading sky, tearing apart a hawk and a flying horse. The light was so dazzling, as if countless flame missiles rushed into the sky. , thousands of shots are fired into the sky in one minute, can the dragon stop such an attack? I don't know."

"I keep making mistakes."

"The mage regiment, the cavalry, the air force, the casualties are increasing, and I can only command the long-range forces to counteract in vain, which is indeed useful, but limited, because Kant is constantly changing positions."

"Then I realized that this is indeed an unprecedented powerful enemy, because they are using an attack method that we have never seen before. It is powerful, cruel, efficient, and tyrannical."

"The enemy bombarded and suppressed us with extremely high frequency and powerful long-range attacks. Similar to the magic guide method, the efficiency and power are stronger. It is not that there are no spells whose power is better than that of the attack. Instead, there are many, but casting spells The time is long, the rest period is longer, there is no way to have such a speed.”

"But our counterattack was not without effect."

"Ice, lightning, and even flame, the range spells that create an elemental environment in a large area have the best effect. I think it is probably related to the material properties and mechanism of the opponent's magic tool. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the magic tool from beginning to end. but I can be sure that the weapon is not invincible."

"After we gradually mastered the countermeasures, Kant gave up the long-range attack and began to approach."

"The rodless crossbow bolts that were improved in the previous battle reports appeared. The power is greater than the description. There are also exploding crossbow bolts, which are less powerful than the heavy attack, but the rate of fire is faster."

"Our soldiers put up a heroic resistance."

"I found a more effective means of defense and counterattack. I ordered the mage group to create a channel ravine below the ground with soil spells, and ordered the soldiers of the arrow regiment to enter the ravine, bow down, and use simple spells if necessary. The scrolls make thicker earth walls, either deepening them, or strengthening them."

"I ordered the soldiers to spread out as much as possible. This must be done, otherwise they will be killed together. As long as they are scattered enough, the enemy's killing efficiency will be greatly reduced. Earth walls, sand walls or mixed with water spells are frozen The walls are extremely protective.”

"That's how we fight."

"Although this can only slow down the enemy's offensive efficiency, and although the built earth wall will still be broken by the larger and more powerful rodless arrows, it is just a hastily built protective wall, and Muyue can launch a more effective defense. mechanism, and that's the value we sacrifice."

"If I'm destined to die in battle, to die in defeat, then I'd be honored to be involved in such a fight."

"That's why I'm writing to you."

"As a commander who is about to lose and die, I offer my final advice to my country and to you, and I think, war, war has changed."

"We conquer the world with bows and arrows and magic, brave warriors, steel discipline, excellent coordination, solid array, iron cavalry charge, arrow array coverage, magic strike, we are used to gathering together, pooling the power of all elves, with strong A rock-like array against a mighty foe."

"But the strength and tradition we are proud of, under Kant's attack, suffered a heavy blow and failure. This failure is not because we lack courage and strength, but our strength is out of time, just like the appearance of cavalry, The traditional land battle formation is out of date, magic appears, and the traditional defensive formation is out of date... This is even more terrifying than defeat."

"I implore you with my sacrifice and life to take this matter seriously."

"After experiencing Kant's attack firsthand, I felt... terrified."

"Because I found something scarier than failure."

"Kant will win, Your Excellency Commander, not only this battle, but perhaps the war of expedition to Goethe will end in a way that we are not happy to see."

"And Kant won not just because he had a powerful alchemical weapon."

"What he has is not just this, but a complete war system."

"Our infantry backbone maintains the formation and resists cavalry, our rangers harass, loot, and contain the enemy, our archers shoot arrows of destruction and cover shock, our mages manipulate arcane magic, suppress confrontation, and our heavy cavalry destroys Everything, unstoppable... these are our systems of warfare."

"Kant has it too."

"He smashes our lines with that slow and powerful long-range bombardment, and smashes our air force, cavalry, infantry, and even fortifications with that river of flame. He has different weapon systems to confront and destroy, and this is what he is in Something used in these battles."

"I don't know what he has yet to bring out."

"No, there must be."

"I just remembered that when our Horned Eagle Knights and Pegasus Knights turned into blood mist and dissipated into the air, a terrible thought suddenly occurred - what about his Air Force? What would it look like? His Navy?"

"The attack that destroyed the five dragon flags at that moment was his forbidden spell."

"It's also part of his system of warfare."

"This is our enemy."

"We have come to the point where we have to change."

"Because in Huisha, it took him a long time to complete his revenge. Now that he has the strength to defeat an army, what will he have in the future?"

"Our tactics, our defense philosophy, our military doctrine, our strategic direction, our equipment, our weapons, our future."

"These, I'll leave it to you and the adults."

"My war is over."

Sylvan Keller was speechless.

At the end of the letter, there are also the last words left by Byrampus to him. This arcane scholar was born into a nobleman, and he does things in a strict manner, never doing things that should not be done, and never saying things that should not be said.

But at the end of his life, he made an exception.

"If I were you, Your Excellency, Commander, I would not have waited for him."

Lord Xiguang put down the letter slowly and put his hand on his face.

He closed his eyes, and his mood was violently turbulent.

Believe it or not, hesitation and determination, anger and fear, he holds a heavy army in his hands, and controls the fate and future of this elf expedition army. Some decisions are really too difficult.

"My war...is not over."

He muttered to himself.

The voice was low, but it caught the attention of the staff.

The deputy chief of staff stepped forward and said softly, "Your Excellency?"

Lord Xiguang raised his head, looked at the other party, was silent for a long time, and then asked: "For you, which is more important than the future of the Muyue Dynasty, your career, honor and reputation?"

The other party was taken aback and subconsciously said: "Of course the future of the country is important."

"I also think so."

Sylvan Keller showed a wry smile: "I'm afraid Lord Thrandron thinks so too."

Thrandron?

The deputy chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was the name of a defeated general.

The former Legion Commander of the Twilight Chapter, who surrendered to Kant, was sent back with a message of deterrence.

The officer who lost almost all his men and returned to the capital in humiliation was once a promising star, but lost all his courage and will in a defeat.

I heard that he gave up the position of the main war faction, strongly opposed the war, was deprived of all honor and status and entered the prison, was pardoned by the queen, was reduced to the street, was insulted and bullied by the relatives of his subordinates who died in the war, despised by the people, abandoned by the family and neglected. , but still insisted on opposing the war, gave speeches, and discouraged everyone. The people of the main war faction spurned his betrayal, while the people of the main peace faction did not approve of his methods.

So... why does Your Excellency Commander say that?

Thrandron also thinks the country is more important than the individual? What's the meaning?

In a daze, he saw His Excellency the Commander stand up.

The deputy chief of staff immediately stood up, and all the other staff members also stood up.

Sylvan Keller calmly said: "Send all the ministries, one hour later, prepare to launch a night battle, order all the air force and heavy magic guidance troops, prepare to launch a full-scale attack on Danfeng Lucerne, this is an order."

"Before dawn, I want to have breakfast at the court of Danfeng Lucerne."

He looked outside the tent, in the direction of Danfeng Lucerne.

Bylamps was right, he couldn't wait for Kant to come.

And Kant has returned to Earth.

In the second half of the previous battle, his methods became fierce and swift again. Facing the surviving elf army that was huddled and defended, he flew into the sky on the eagle of Shimo, and then took those 25 kilograms each. Anti-Army mines poured down and smashed two more oil storage tanks.

There is no reason for him.

Ammo consumption, he habitually refreshed the map and wanted to replenish it, but found one thing.

Howitzers and anti-aircraft vehicles did not brush out.
