After being close to the Rock Fortress, the corps led by Phillips was attacked several times during the night sneak attack and daytime obstruction, as Byron felt: the nobles finally began to learn how to fight a real encounter, However, after all, they learned a little late.

The attack plan that the commanders of the Rock Fortress can make is based on the old-style army. They imagined the Cecil Combat Corps as another aristocratic private corps with powerful magical equipment. On this basis, the attack was carried out. The discipline of the Syr, the way of marching, the way of camping, and the speed of command response, and then to develop various attacks, the result is naturally no suspense.

The Philip Knights admitted that the commanders of the Rock Fortress were indeed fighting aggressively, but they failed.

On the 57th of the fire, on the hottest day of the summer, the flag of the Cecil Combat Corps entered the small plain area in the southern part of the Rock Fortress, one day earlier than originally anticipated.

The enemies in the Rock Fortress seem to have finally given up the initiative to attack. As the Cecils get closer, they begin to shrink into the fortress, and the large, strong, and sentry towers around the fortress are abandoned. Before the arrival of the Cecils, they were burned. When the Philip Knights set foot on the plains, his camp was even a woodland burned by the enemy.

In the new base camp, Philip Knight left the barracks and patrolled the newly built camp. He looked north. Between the rolling hills, he could clearly see the towering walls of the meteorite fortress. Dark, but floating in the sun with a layer of fantastic magical light, the top of the fortress can also see several giant mage towers running, the giant runes floating on the top of the tower and the city walls below reflect each other, this time The sights are hard to see in the barren and ruined South.

The Philip Knight turned his head again and looked at a hill behind the camp that was the location of the artillery position.

The technical soldiers are transporting the main cannon components to the hills, where they are assembled into fixed siege turrets, assisted by temporary magic effects such as weight loss, and heavy "just-i-type" orbital acceleration guns. It will be installed very quickly enough to pose a deadly threat to the first wall of the meteorite fortress, while the remaining few heavy-duty acceleration guns and light cannons will be advanced by the Second Corps to the northwest after the heavy artillery positions are established. The high ground was erected to create a more complete and dense fire coverage.

Covered with artillery to propel the position, one position advances one position, which is what the lord wrote in the "Artillery General" and is the most basic and effective part of the fire application technique, although the Philip Knight is also He used it for the first time, but he knew it would be fruitful.

The Rock Fortress has already appeared in the eyes of the Cecils. In other words, the Cecils are now under the eyelids of the Rock Fortress.

The distance between the two sides has gone too far. At least, in terms of the range of the "Justice-i-type" orbital acceleration gun, the Cecil army is too close, and the Philip Knight is aware of the cannons he has at hand, in the right conditions. In the case, those cannons can even attack enemies outside the line of sight, as long as the ballistics are calculated. By conversion, it is possible that he can directly attack the meteorite fortress at the edge of the hilly land without stepping on the plain.

But in this battle, he doesn't have to pull the distance so far, nor can he pull the distance so far.

After returning to the camp, the young knight looked at the map drawn by the military map lord hanging in the big account with a surprising accuracy. On the map, he could clearly see the meteorite fortress and his own Location, you can also see the terrain around the meteorite fortress. He saw the Dorgon River from the south of the Holy Spirit Plain passing through a cornice on the west side of the Meteorite Fortress, where it was divided into two, which became the White River. The tributary flows all the way to the southwest, and the most suitable place for the warship to moor and become an attack point is an open area in the western part of the plain.

This area must be completely within the support of the Cecil Corps, so it is necessary for the Philip Knight to advance the position to the plains, while also setting up the second high ground in a place closer to the White River, and he does not believe that this distance has What is the range of the inappropriate trebuchet? How far can the mages throw a big fireball?

To put it bluntly, he pushed his position forward halfway, and the defenders of the Rock Fortress still could only blink.

The curtain of the camp was opened, and a young female knight wearing a silver-white magic armor and a slashed sword at her waist walked into the account. The female knight stood upright in front of Philip and gave a military ceremony: "Sir The scout has returned and the perimeter is safe!"

Philip sighed: "They really watched us laying a position here..."

The young female knight from Margarita in the Kant area could not help but say: "Their reaction is quite normal."

Philip looked at Margarita and he was very impressed with the female knight. Kant's old knight, Wald Peric, praised the lady. He knew that Margarita was a knightly talented person. However, because the time of loyalty to Cecil is still short, the thoughts of the young lady who have belonged to the traditional aristocracy have not changed, but Philip does not care much about it.

"Why are their reactions normal?" Philip asked casually.

"Relying on a strong fortress and magic barrier to protect yourself, waiting for an opportunity to fight back or wait for a change after the wall, this is a fixed idea of ​​many nobles, especially when the active offensive effect is not good," Margarita Station Straight, she wants to work hard to leave a good impression of the Kant’s knight in the heart of the “lord’s circle”. “They can take the initiative to attack a few times. It’s already supernormal, and several attacks are frustrated. It is impossible to continue to let the soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy, so they can only hide behind the wall. This is a reasonable choice."

After a pause, Margarita went on to say: "In most cases, the siege of the fortress and the fortress is protracted. I think the commanders in the Rock Fortress think so, as long as the magic barrier can hold them. I don't mind what we are doing outside, just like Sotelberg was besieged 40 years ago, the enemy was surrounded for three years, the leader of Soest was still unscathed, but the soldiers who besieged the castle escaped most of the time, and finally the leader of Soest When the reinforcements came, the enemies who besieged the castle would have to retreat. Presumably, the people in the Rock Fortress are also playing the same idea."

Philip nodded thoughtfully: "So what it is..."

Margarita looked at Philip with some curiosity: "Adults... sir, don't you know this?"

Her doubts are very reasonable: Philip is also a noble aristocratic knight. The Cecil family had its own castle when it was degraded. How can the Philip Knights who grew up in such a proper environment not understand the basic rules of these nobles? What?

In the face of the question of the horsewoman, Philip has nothing to hide. Frankly: "I understand everything, but the Cecils never do this. It is not the case before the lord returns to the world."

"Oh?" Margarita widened her eyes. "Cecile... How did you fight?"

Philip Knight calmly replied: "Positive confrontation, if not necessary, try to avoid besieging the castle, into a passive defense situation, anyway, as long as the enemy on the battlefield is killed, the castle is naturally safe."

"This..." The female knight was stunned. "It’s a brave ethos..."

"Not because of bravery, because there is no way," Philip spread his hand. "If Cecil is besieged, no one will come to help. Once we are blocked into the castle, it will be finished."

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit embarrassing, but the embarrassment did not last long. The Philip Knight quickly took the initiative to transfer the topic: "According to the original plan, the first test shot before dusk was a dinner for the Rock Fortress." ”

The horsewoman immediately salute: "Yes, sir!"

......

The giant day slowly moved in the sky, and finally gradually approached the mountains on the west side.

On the first high ground, the technical soldiers are completing the assembly and commissioning of the last "Justice-i" orbital gun.

"Technical soldiers" are soldiers born with the emergence of various magical weapons, also known as "guns and bachelors" or "bachelor of war mechanics", they are well-trained soldiers, but also have Beyond the general soldier's mechanical knowledge and magical guidance technology, these battlefield mechanics are equipped with a special magic guide terminal, which can use the terminal's assistance to release simple spells such as weight loss and traction, and can also use the magic guide terminal. The engineering components in the assembly, welding and adjustment of weapons and equipment, their emergence, symbolizes the professional development of the Cecil's magical armor.

After the final "Justice-i" orbital cannon was commissioned, there were fifteen minutes from the launch.

The giant day is falling toward the mountains on the west side. The bright sky is gradually dim and orange, and the steel behemoth crouching in the gun is gradually plated with a golden red glow. .

Already a middle-aged, even the middle-aged and elderly Wald Periqi knight stood on a rock platform beside the shelling position, sticking a monocular to his eyes and looking at the movement of the distant meteorite fortress.

The mid-level knight actually has excellent eyesight, but after all, there is no way to compare it with the magic of the wizard's eye, but with the aid of the "telescope", he can look as far as the mage.

He can see that on the walls of the Rock Fortress, several knights are walking around, many soldiers are defending on the wall, and those knights walking around can obviously see some of the situation here. They occasionally stop and point to each other and talk to each other.

It’s so far away that the telescope looks like it’s in front of you. This kind of feeling can’t be experienced with “extraordinary eyesight”.

The Ward Perich Knight did not know what those who were walking around the distant walls were talking about, but he did not care.

The agreed time is up.

The old knight took the telescope and, for the first time, personally directed the powerful "magic weapons" to fire.

As he said to Margarita last time, Kant’s knights came in handy.

The rune trigger was pulled down hard, and the huge energy instantly poured into the cannons of the cannons, using the magic energy relay obelisk transmission, the magical energy from the carol collar magic net to drive these terrible weapons roaring With a burst of sharp sounds, the heavy magic crystal shells rushed out of the acceleration track in a group of pale blue air masses, rushing to the distant meteorite fortress.

For the southern aristocrats in the fortress, the long-lost familiar voice finally came.
