Chapter 1320 Focus
Duke Bodevin still remembers the grey elf leader's last time he met Ms. Wenna. After the Alliance's route to the mainland was officially opened, the lady came to discuss matters with the Empire on behalf of Tai Mulin about the trade quota around the mainland. At that time, she represented the most shrewd businessmen in the world, holding the direction of the rise of an ancient kingdom in the new era. She was confident and fighting spirit. Although she was petite, she was full of aura in the negotiations that no one dared to ignore.
But today she looks particularly haggard and tired. This tribal leader, one of the "Five Kings" of Agure, has not had a good rest for some time, and even made Bodevin worry about her health.
"You may need to have a good rest first," Duke Bedwin, who personally led his army to support, couldn't help but say, "Our reconnaissance force has not returned yet, and the main force is still gathering. You can lie down for a while."
"I've had a rest but it's hard to fall asleep completely," Wenna waved her hand, her voice a little hoarse. "Grey Elf is a nerve-sensitive race, which is easy to do under pressure, but we are actually very resistant to physical condition, so you don't have to worry about my body."
While speaking, she walked to Bedevin and climbed to a chair next to the tactical table with some difficulty. Her eyes were directed towards the forest topography projected by magic crystals, and said casually: "I brought the troops of Fengge City, including the orc mercenaries and gray elves hunters I have. Our soldiers may still lack combat effectiveness, but if you want to operate in the mountains in central and southern Auguste, you still need the help of the locals."
"Oh, we are lacking in help in this regard," said Bedevin immediately. "The situation south of the mountains is still unclear. We have set up high-power call stations on the mountain at the intersection, but we still cannot contact the forwarding station of Holy Helmet City. We have sent reconnaissance troops, but ground reconnaissance and aerial reconnaissance have just been launched, and there is no effective information to be transmitted for the time being..."
Wenna nodded gently. She had already understood the wonderful "holographic sand table" of the Cecils. The sand table showed an overview of the terrain that started from the moss forest and extended to the southern area of Agure. However, except for the mountain pass where the main legion is currently located, all the terrain extending to the southern area is gray and white at this moment, which shows that there are maps of these areas, but the real-time situation is completely unknown.
"We are here now," the leader of the gray elf pointed to the "intersection plain" marked on the map with the green triangle camp, and then pointed to a wide road in the south. "This is the 'Ancient Trading Road' I mentioned. From hundreds of years ago, this is the main traffic route between the gray elf merchants and the merchants of various ethnic groups in the Agulei tribes. In the past two years, with the prosperity of new commerce, we, the gray elf, have launched the renovation and widening of the ancient trade road. You should have noticed that there is a very straight and wide new road extending south from here, that is the unfinished 'tribal road'...
"This road can extend to the Klin Mountain Road. Further south is the old mountain road that has not been repaired. Your chariots cannot enter. Ordinary infantry and your light tow cannons can enter the mountain. Wycliff, one of the "Five Kings", should be stationed on the eastern defense line of this area...at least this was the case before the communication was interrupted.
"There is a branch on Klin Mountain Road, extending to the southeast. This road can lead to Hongyu City, which is the main city of orcs and the largest city in the central region except the Holy Helmet City. On the east side of Hongyu City is the orcs' "holy land" of Hongyu City. Crossing the Hongyu Forest Sea is the main deep defense area for the Agule tribe toward the wasteland. It consists of several defense lines such as Wolf Ridge Mountain-Echo Valley, Dark Stone Intersection-Wind Erosion Valley, Mountain Barrier, etc., and consists of natural ridges and mountain paths, as well as a large number of tunnels and cave systems. The main border between Agule and Gondor wasteland is on the easternmost side of this deep defense zone. The big cat and her friends are guarding there..."
"Big Cat?" Duke Bodevin was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"Ah, sorry, I'm a little confused," Wenna immediately patted her forehead, as if she had just realized that what she saw was Duke Berber Franklin. "I'm talking about the orc chief, one of the 'Five Kings'. Ms. Camilla's big cat is her nickname. This is my private name and she, please don't mind."
"Oh, I understand I've heard of the brave chief," said Beardwin nodding, "So what's next? What else?"
"I don't know how many days Camila and her mountain warriors can hold this line of defense... But if Red Jade City is still there, then this place can be a fulcrum," Wenna continued, "We can reconstruct the defense system here and then push from east...
"... From here you can reach the peak of the ancestors. The king of fairy Stella and her golem legion guard the Holy Mountain for generations, and it is also the home of the spirit race. The entire Holy Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Holy Helmet City is on the west side of the Holy Mountain. Even if the defense line on Camilla has collapsed, those monsters will not be able to attack the Holy Helmet City at this time..."
Wenna looked serious and said in detail all the information she knew and the information she had speculated over the past two days. Duke Bodevin listened very seriously, without missing a word. Until the gray elf leader in front of him finished speaking, he said thoughtfully: "It sounds like the terrain on the east side of Agure itself is very suitable for defense..."
"Yes, a natural barrier. Even if the layers of mountains are distorted, they will be exhausted on the road. So much so that we have gradually become accustomed to these "blessings from the mountains" for hundreds of years. No one expected the amazing scale of the monsters that surged out of it one day after the magnificent wall broke a big hole," Wenna sighed and shook her head. "A splash may not break through the gullies on the beach, but a huge wave will not care about how many ditches there are along the way, not to mention that there are still people behind this huge wave..."
Ms. Grey Elf had an unconcealed self-mockery and annoyance in her tone. The complex thoughts in her heart were difficult to speak to others. What she was upset was not just the decline caused by the peace that the Ogure tribe state had been enjoying in the past hundreds of years.
When Cecil rose rapidly in the northern part of the mainland, when the two human empires undergo earth-shaking changes under the competition and pressure of the new era, when elves, dragon descendants and even dragon clans appeared on the stage of the mainland one after another, Agule in the mountains was as slow as ever, but in this sluggishness, the gray elves were not unresponsive, and even the humans and fairies of Agule had begun to introduce technology, began to purchase advanced equipment from the Northern Empire, and began to learn modern military establishment and tactical practices. They joined the alliance, joined the mainland route and land transnational business district...
But all this still failed to block the natural disaster that broke out in just a few days after the magnificent wall was extinguished. The advanced equipment purchased was not fully used on the border defense line, and the foreign experts hired could not save the Orc Corps in the eastern mountainous areas. The limited advanced and prosperous city of the Holy Helmet City and several tribal main cities did not change the overall backward situation of the entire tribal state. Even now that domestic communications are paralyzed, the tribal state can only be at a loss from top to bottom to show that more than 80% of the spare parts of the magic network system depend on imports and cannot be produced at all in China.
It’s a pity that the reason why it’s really heavy and terrible to buy national defense and people’s livelihood is really heavy and terrible.
"Ms. Wenna?" Duke Bodewen's voice suddenly came from the side, awakening Wenna Baizhi, who was trapped in distracted, from the trance, "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I... no, nothing, I just suddenly got distracted," Wenna quickly woke up. She took a photo of herself with a clearing magic technique, and her eyes refocused on Bedvin Franklin's face, "Sorry, where did you just say?"
"About the current communication environment in the Agure area," Berdevin looked at Wenna, then continued. He raised his hand and pointed to the communication magic network terminal placed on the edge of the tactical table. "Now we have confirmed that the large areas from Mosswood to the south are in a state of "communication pollution". The powerful energy released when the magnificent wall fluctuates is still rebounding and undulating among the mountains. Although there have been signs of recession during this period, it may take some time for this interference to disappear completely. However, our technicians have just discovered that the stronger the area closer to the surface, and as the height increases, the interference also weakens...
"In view of this, we plan to temporarily set up an aerial relay system and try to set up a series of floating communication stations at high altitudes to see if this can restore communication in the Augure area. However, this requires your permission first, at least yours... because we will also bring this system closer to your holy mountain in the later stage."
"Can it really be done?" Wenna listened to the bold plan of the Cecil consul in front of her and her eyes slowly widened, "Set up a communication network in the air and in such a short time? Ah, I know your Dragoons, but the Dragoons seem to..."
"Not a Dragoon," Berdevin laughed, "It's another thing that can float in the air for a long time as a sky stronghold, or land on the ground fortress when the situation needs it. In addition, they have a permanent center of floating in the sky..."
Duke Bedevin described the "Aerospace Battle Group" with "Dawn of the World" as the core and a large number of Gorgon combat platforms as the wingman. However, for Ms. Wenna, who had never seen the real thing, she seemed to be listening to a fantasy: "...ah?"
Bodewen thought about it and was thinking about how to explain the issue to the other party, but soon he no longer needed to explain it.
Above the holographic sand table projected by the tactical table, a specially marked golden shadow suddenly appeared on the edge of the map, and a quiet and strange buzzing sound like a giant beast whimpering in the night sky came into the command post from somewhere. The buzzing sound rang out from the high altitude, and Wenna Baizhi's ears stood up almost instantly.
She vaguely sensed a huge existence, an unignorable magic system. The huge magic cycle like a city stimulated her keen nerves as a mage, making her suddenly stare at Duke Berdevin who was sitting next to her. The latter just suddenly smiled and smiled friendly to her: "Ah, here's Ms. Wenna, just in time, I'll take you to see the main force supporting the Agulei front this time, the most powerful aerospace fortress in the empire."
Wenna stood up in confusion, climbed down from the chair, followed Duke Bodevin with her short legs. They left the command post and came to the open space in the camp. The cold wind under the night of winter came from a distance, which made Wenna shudder and her mind became clearer. The next second, she followed her feelings and looked towards the distant northeast direction.
A city emitting a glimmer of light slowly flew in the night sky towards the mossy forest.
It is as huge as a mountain, but it is obviously not a "mountain" floating in the sky. It has a roughly hexagonal outline. Below the main body cast by steel are dozens of huge luminous rings arranged neatly. The raised structure used to support the anti-gravity engine is arranged along the central axis at its bottom, releasing a dim light in the night sky. Around the floating "steel land", are countless hideous giant cannons, neatly arranged projectors, and tiny objects hanging under the support structures on both sides, like birds attached to the giant beast.
Wenna stared at the night and saw each other for a long time before she realized in horror that the tiny objects hanging on the edge of the "steel land" turned out to be densely packed with dragoon fighters.
She opened her mouth wide, and at this moment the giant was still approaching. She could not see the structure of the upper layer of the thing from the surface, but she could still see some towering towers, walls standing on the surface of the thing, and lights wandering on the beast, illuminating its own steel body and the building complex on its back, and also illuminating the jungle and plain below, and a series of low buzzing sounds came from the beast's body.
The behemoth was so awesome, so present in the night sky that it almost completely attracted Wenna Baizhi's sight. It took her a long time to realize another thing
The thing was not flying alone in the air. There were a dozen anti-gravity platforms floating in the night sky beside it that were much smaller than its size, but still more than ten times larger than the common dragoons.
On each platform, there are different things, including modular buildings made of steel, strange weapon systems, towering communication towers, and huge factories and military stations.
On this cold winter night, the leader of the Gray Elf was shocked.
At the same time, in the deep defense zone in central and eastern Auguste, pungent smoke and disgusting corrupt atmosphere once again spread among the mountains.
The war drums sounded, thunder and flames were roaring on the earth, the mountains were about to fall into the sea of fire, and the dirty monsters had come back.
The once-regressive distortions completed rest and reorganization under the control of the commander behind them. Before the morning sun shone on the mountains of Agure again, these civilized enemies poured out of the wasteland launched the largest attack since the outbreak of the war.
