Chapter 1082: Inside and outside the fortress
Latest website: A burst of dark clouds covered the moonlight, making the already hazy night sky even darker.
Lei Xiao looked at the millions of people in the Kingdom of Grim who were rapidly approaching, and felt that his breathing was obviously much heavier.
Before dark, all our main forces had already stationed themselves in this huge sunset fortress, bringing the total strength here to 700,000.
Among them, there are also five elite members of neutral organizations who were secretly ambushed by our side, as well as some elite soldiers seconded from other fortresses.
For example, after relieving the crisis at the Rainforest Fortress, Lei Xiao sent Jiang Li to teleport many strong men from the Yorkman family there.
"700,000 vs. 1 million? Although it seems that our side is not too far behind, but if you include the gap between the 15 main legions, it is quite a disparity."
"Even if there are five more level 5 warriors under my command than the opponent, our overall strength is still at an absolute disadvantage."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao asked Isaac: "How is the situation with the absolute defense barrier?"
As a member of the Lancaster family who has been stationed at Sunset Fortress for generations, this old subordinate who was single-handedly supported by Lei Xiao and became the head of the family is undoubtedly the one who knows the situation here best.
"Back to the lord, except for the magic gunners on the city wall and the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft corps, all the magicians under our corps have been stationed in the 63 magic towers located throughout the fortress to provide the absolute defense barrier. able."
Isaac, who was wearing a blue robe, held his chest and saluted, his old face full of seriousness: "The absolute defensive barrier of Sunset Fortress has never reached such a full level!"
"Very good. The absolute defense barrier is the top priority in this war. We must not be negligent."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and turned his attention to the Grim Kingdom army under the city again.
Lei Xiao clearly understood it, just as he said.
The core of this battle is which side's absolute defensive barrier is broken first.
Once the absolute defense barrier is broken, it will mean that the physical and magical attacks of the entire country will pour in without any hindrance. This will undoubtedly be a devastating blow.
When one side is beaten to pieces and the other side presses forward, the winner will naturally be determined.
"Currently, in addition to Luolong City and Buluo Fortress, I have concentrated all the magic light crystals from the Mountain Fort Fortress and the Rainforest Fortress."
"Coupled with what Scarlet Queen Catherine sent and what I just took from Eckhardt, the reserve of magic light crystals in this Sunset Fortress has reached more than 10,000, which is far more than the entire amount of an ordinary country. reserve."
"This means that Sunset Fortress can fire 100,000 second-order magic cannons without consuming additional magic power. In addition, I have deployed 2,000 second-order magic cannons directly on the city wall, which is enough to fire 100,000 second-order magic cannons within a certain period of time. Dont fall short on your inner magical firepower.
"That's why I have used most of the magic power under my command to maintain the absolute defensive barrier to balance our insufficient magic power."
Lei Xiao thought this while looking around him again.
I saw that on the long city wall, in addition to the densely deployed magic cannons, there were also rows of long archers standing on our side, almost covering the entire city wall.
"The most elite marksmen from the royal family, the Lancaster family, and the Shanglu family are all here. Except for the Zhuyue clan who guard the fortress, they are already the strongest long-range physical force in the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"Coupled with the Tier 3 longbows equipped by me and the sufficient quantity of magical arrows that have been quantitatively modified, it is enough to compete with the larger number of long-range physical powers of the Kingdom of Grim."
Thinking of this, the tension in Lei Xiao's heart suddenly eased, and he turned his attention to the other generals around him.
In addition to Ju Bai, who is responsible for logistics and treatment, there are two country-level powerhouses, Wu and White Knight, four kingdom generals, Burt, Hodder, Rose Marquis, and Bai Zhi, Lin, the head of the Shanglu family, and Lancas, who is responsible for overall coordination. Isaac, the head of the special family, is all here.
Of course, there is also Ariel who has been following behind him.
As for our other mid-level generals, there are hundreds of them.
Except for the merchant generals such as Cole, Corwin, Buz, and Lorna whom I had met before, as well as subordinates such as Tia, Tina, and Ryan, most of Lei Xiao could not be named.
"Yes, this is already my strongest command lineup."
Lei Xiao looked at the determined faces of his generals and nodded with satisfaction.
However, even though everything was ready, Lei Xiao could still clearly notice it.
Facing the mighty Grim Kingdom army below the city, whether it was the generals or the densely packed soldiers around them, there was an extremely solemn and tense atmosphere.
It's no wonder, after all, the other side has a great advantage in terms of combat power and numbers, and its purpose is very clear, which is to launch a war of annihilation in an attempt to completely destroy our side.
The most important thing is that in addition to the combat power on the ground, the opponent also has a huge force that we do not have.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao slowly raised his head and looked at the dark sky in the distance.
In the pitch-black night sky, countless strange red dots were flashing, just like the eyes of demons, ready to bring disaster and death at any time.
Needless to say, that was the navigation light of the opponent's huge combat airship force.
"It seems that this is the core of this victory. As long as the opponent's combat airship is not allowed to approach the fortress, it will be difficult for the opponent to break through our absolute defensive barrier with just the power on the ground."
Lei Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at the Grim Kingdom battle airship group slowly approaching from the deep night sky.
This time, there is the Lancaster family's professional anti-aircraft corps, and the Sunset Fortress's high-altitude mine net that can be activated at any time.
Coupled with Nolan's newly conquered Sound Dragon, Hongye who is ready to change form at any time, the group of flying undead beasts specially prepared by Lina, and a relatively limited number of Sky Knights, our preparations are undoubtedly much better.
It's just that the number and strength of the opponent's combat airships are by no means comparable to the previous offensive and defensive battles in Wangxing City.
In addition to this, after all, this is the Holy King of the Grimm Kingdom who is marching on a personal expedition with the power of the whole country. He must also have some unknown and tricky trump cards. Perhaps that is the biggest threat to us.
"No matter what, as long as I can block the menacing opponent for a period of time, and then the Iron Hand Islands and the Dark Green Kingdom will attack the opponent from other directions, the initiative will be in my hands."
"But what is certain is that this must be the most difficult time."
Lei Xiao just frowned and thought of this. The million-strong army of Grim Kingdom under the city and the combat airship troops in the air had already arrived at their respective positions and began to make final preparations before attacking the city.
The battle finally breaks out.
"No matter what means you have, just come here."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright and clear, and he began to order the generals to return to their respective command positions.
While Lei Xiao and others were taking their positions, the Grim Kingdom army under the city was also in an extremely tense state.
Covered by hundreds of mobile magic towers, the entire army was surrounded by a sometimes brilliant and absolutely defensive barrier.
In front of the front army formation where the opponent's war flag was flapping, magic cannons that were ready to fire were pushed out by the soldiers one after another. The magician troops and archer troops lined up one after another, forming huge formations. Square of soldiers.
The long swords of the **** troops were unsheathed, and the war guns shone with a cold light. The attacking troops drew their bows and arrows, and the magic power of their staffs surged. They looked extremely well-trained.
Countless illuminated magic light **** flickered, reflecting the faces of Grim Kingdom soldiers filled with anger.
For a moment, the murderous aura under the city soared into the sky, like huge invisible palms, pressing heavily on the city wall, making the air seem to become much thicker.
At the core of the army in the Kingdom of Grim, which exudes a faint holy light, the burly Paladin Commander Jared stands next to an equally burly old man in gold armor who exudes vast aura and wears a golden crown. .
Seeing that the front army had entered the fighting state one after another, Jared stroked his chest and saluted, and said respectfully to the golden-armored old man: "My king, the flags of the Cold Flame King and the Demonic Shadow Lord are floating on the top of the Sunset Fortress. It seems that not only The opponent's main force has entered the Sunset Fortress, and the new king Lengyan and the prince from another world are also here."
"No matter who it is, no one can be pointed by the holy spear of the Kingdom of Grim. Tonight I will use the ashes of the Sunset Fortress and the blood of the opponent's soldiers to sharpen my holy spear."
The crown on the head of the golden-armored old man was filled with coldness, and he looked condescending without being angry or intimidating.
At this point, the identity of the other party could not be clearer, it was the Holy King William of the Kingdom of Grim.
"What my king said is absolutely true, but doesn't your majesty find it a little strange?"
Jared still maintained a respectful posture and said: "Although the Pars Empire was defeated last night, which resulted in the loss of troops and generals, it was impossible to attack the undefeated fortress on time."
"But there is no news from the allied forces of the Holy Night Kingdom and the Canlan Federation in the east, as well as the dark green army in the south. In addition, there is a mighty orc army outside the Luolong of the Lengyan Kingdom. Why is the new Lengyan army The king and the prince from another world came to the Sunset Fortress in person, and even sent the main army here?"
At this point, a look of confusion appeared on Jared's face, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the prince from another world of the other three armies has found a way to deal with it?"
"Captain Paladin, this is not something you should be concerned about right now."
The Holy King glanced at Jared indifferently and said expressionlessly: "No matter what the actions of other countries are, or whether the aliens have a way to deal with it, these are not important. What is important is that the Kingdom of Cold Flame must be destroyed. Tonight, the Sunset Fortress will also be reduced to ruins, and the Kingdom of Ugrim will be overwhelming, crushing the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"I respectfully obey my king's words."
Although Jared didn't know why His Majesty the Holy King, who had never had a feud with the Cold Flame Kingdom, was so obsessed with it and even went so far as to lead a personal expedition, he clearly understood that these were obviously not matters that a minister of his could ask.
All he needed to do was to carry out the Holy King's orders.
Jared glanced at the battle flag on the Sunset Fortress in front, and then bowed and asked: "My king, what do you mean, do you want to communicate with the aliens in front of the formation first, and take the opportunity to get some information about the Cold Flame Kingdom? ?
"Captain Holy Knight, do you think that with the entire army of the Ugrim Kingdom, we can't capture a small Sunset Fortress?"
The Holy King frowned and said in a deep voice, "Or are you questioning my decision?"
"Return to my king, I have no such intention!"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the Holy King's tone, Jared quickly knelt down on one knee and said.
"If not, then why talk to the other party? Do you think I will talk to a corpse in the near future?"
The Holy King snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "According to the predetermined plan, I must turn the Sunset Fortress into powder tonight!"
After the Holy King finished speaking, not long after, accompanied by the sound of uniform footsteps that shook the earth, the entire Grimm army began to press forward like a giant sky-swallowing beast.
For a moment, the sand and stones on the ground trembled, dust flew up, and the momentum was extremely astonishing. The endless steel phalanx could almost reach the end at a glance.
Judging from their formation, not only the front army was fully deployed, but also the middle army and the rear army were following closely behind. They were obviously ready for a decisive battle.
However, what was somewhat unexpected was that the opponent's densely packed airship troops still stayed in the sky not far away and did not get any closer.
"Your Highness, it seems that the other side wants to use ground warfare to consume our magic power first, and then use the airship force to destroy our absolute defensive barrier in one fell swoop."
On the city wall, after carefully observing the opponent's actions, Wu Zai nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "How should we respond?"
"The opponent is approaching fiercely and their troops are at their peak. We don't know what kind of trump cards they have. However, we are at a disadvantage and it is not appropriate to attack."
Lei Xiao almost didn't hesitate at all, nodded to Wu and said: "I can't wait like a mountain, UU Reading www.uuka.com just keep unchanged in response to all changes."
"I understand, everything is based on the instructions of His Highness the Prince. I would like to see what kind of skills this Kingdom of Grim, which has never had any grudges with the Kingdom of Lengyan, can use."
Wuwei nodded, and immediately returned to his command position.
"Lord, my subordinates always feel a little uneasy."
After Wu left, Ariel got closer to Lei Xiao, frowned and whispered softly: "The Holy King of the Kingdom of Grim is suddenly so enthusiastic about attacking the Kingdom of Cold Flame, I'm afraid the person who came here must be evil."
"That's right, as the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Now it's too late to figure out the reason."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "Only by completely breaking the opponent's sword and spear can we have a chance to figure out the truth, otherwise everything will be destroyed."
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, a rapid and dull horn sounded suddenly from the city, and the Grim Kingdom's attack began.
