Andesha didn't let herself be immersed in depression for too long.

It is a fact that Tifen was one step slower on the modern battlefield, but this does not mean that Tifen's military power has lagged behind the Cecils in all directions - now her troops are only in an unfavorable situation under certain conditions, and can even be defended passively in Winter Wolf Castle, but even so, it is not so easy for the Cecils to break through this line of defense.

Her eyes were set in the distance, and on the west side of the direction of the Winter Wolf Castle, smoke and dust were gradually rising...

...

The heavy tracks crushed the dry and cold wasteland. The low growl of the magic engine and the mechanical friction sounds of the gear links as they rotated came from all directions. The muzzle of the "Warhammer" main battle tank was raised high, and in front of this steel legion, the towering walls of the Winter Wolf Castle and the flashing fortress shield were already visible from afar.

The first attack wave was gradually approaching the best shooting distance. The echelon commander was in a solid chariot and looked into the distance through the periscope. Except for the Winter Wolf Castle, there seemed to be no obstacles set by the enemy in the wilderness - no wooden roadblocks that were better than nothing, no crisscrossing blocking nets, and no annoying interception troops.

"They seem to have given up blocking our tank troops in the wilderness," the commander raised his voice and shouted, "We are approaching the shooting distance."

"The Tifeng people should know how much trouble they have caused!" The captain also raised his voice and shouted loudly, "I thought the famous Winter Wolf defense line was difficult to deal with - this looked even worse than the Crystal Cluster Legion of the Big Rock City!"

The echelon commander immediately reminded: "Be careful! Those Tifeng people perform a bit abnormal on the battlefield, be careful of traps..."

In the past year, the front-line troops in the East have been expanding and training. Now its members are not only the former First Army soldiers who were mobilized from the South, but some of the East Army veterans who were originally stationed in Changfeng Fortress and survived the Crystal Cluster Disaster after retraining and have now become members of the new army. The commander of this echelon is one of such "re-training veterans".

His rich combat experience and understanding of the Tifeng people made him a grassroots officer on the front line. Now, more and more confusions are gradually emerging in the commander's heart.

The Tifeng people never showed so strange - as the party that took the initiative to declare war, they were as hasty as the Cecils. As a powerful legion in the border area, they were reluctant to go on the battlefield, and many elite troops did not show up. I have always heard that the Tifeng people were also reforming the army and enhancing the combat effectiveness of the border defenders. However, now it seems... why is the performance of the Winter Wolf Castle not even as good as the Ansu era a few years ago?

The commander had a confused thought in his mind, and did not forget to be vigilant and pay attention to the surrounding situation.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight numbness and tingling feeling floating on the surface of his arm's skin.

He lowered his head and saw his hair standing up.

"Keep the magic trap!" The echelon commander immediately reacted. He rushed to the communication station. "The left and right wings were scattered, the rear team slowed down and bypassed, the front team cleared the firepower at close range, and cooperated with the infantry to prepare for the enemy-"

The first wave of tanks responded immediately. With the roar of machinery, the heavy steel tanks began to quickly change their queues. The "Iron Ambassador" tanks that were advancing in concert opened their shields and began to prepare for the magical impact. Almost at the same time, the entire land in the front of the chariot troops began to appear densely, as if a net-shaped white light composed of countless tiny lightning flashes - the light net seemed to seep out of the soil, swept across the battlefield in a blink of an eye, and instantly there were mechanical cabins of many tanks, rail guns, etc.

The power ridge was severely damaged in the magic surge, the magic engine was unbalanced, the gears and connecting rods burst out under the dual effects of inertia and engine out of control, and twisted into a ball. The affected tanks and multi-functional combat vehicles stopped one by one, and more numerous combat vehicles did not stop completely, but their speed slowed down significantly, and the slight explosion sounds in the vehicle body continued.

At this moment, a series of low buzzing sounds came from the extremely high altitude. The cooperative infantry under the protection of the steel ambassador subconsciously raised their heads. In the dim sky light at dusk, they saw that the sky above was suddenly covered with layers of focus points like a mirror. The surging magic power surged in the air, and the mirrors began to quickly turn red...

The chariot that could still move quickly retreated or spread to the two wings, the steel ambassador entered overload mode, driving the wide-area shield to the maximum, the infantry quickly searched for the squad chariots for cover, and in the next second, hundreds of high-energy beams had already splashed...

...

"Confirm that the arcane stress field is effective! The enemy has been stopped!" "The focus of the aurora rain is completed, and full projection is being carried out!" "The second-tier mage begins to accumulate energy!" "The results of the battle are being observed..."

The calm line of defense that had been calm the moment, seemed to boil, the buzzing sounds of magic focus and explosions hit the eardrums in waves, and a series of information was quickly gathered in front of Andessa. She had retreated to the command room in the fortress, and was observing the situation on the line through the magic projection created by the mage - the scene in the distance had been obscured by overwhelming high-energy beams and explosion dust.

"It worked," Earl Palin Winterburg looked at the holographic image presented by the magic projection with some nervousness. This was the first time he used his own combat mage to fight the Cecilian mechanical forces. "The high-energy beams above level four seem to penetrate their shields."

However, Andesa, who served as the supreme commander, frowned. Obviously she found the problem: "...We should wait for them to move forward a little further before activate the stress field. The mages are too anxious. Or if we have two traps, we can intercept all the Cecils within the coverage of the beam rain..."

"They won't be fooled for the second time," Earl Palin Winterburg said in a deep voice, "but we have achieved the expected results, and the next step is a confrontation with hard power..."

Before the Earl of Winter Castle finished speaking, Andesha saw a flash of light in the depths of the smoke and dust in the holographic image. Something impactful thing shook the smoke and left a light blue track in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third flashes appeared in the smoke and dust.

In just a few seconds, a huge explosion came in from outside - the direction of the city wall was attacked.

The smoke was blown away by the wind, and the Cecilians' steel legion appeared again - the fierce force seemed very embarrassed. After being baptized by the high-energy beam rain, nearly one-third of the war machines had been turned into wreckage, and a large number of severely damaged and powerless chariots were scattered on the battlefield. Survivors were using the wreckage as cover to launch bombardment on the walls of Winter Wolf Castle.

Even though they were in a very embarrassing situation, their attack was still amazing.

At the same time, Andesha also noticed that there were other enemies behind the chariots - some soldiers holding strange equipment survived the attack just now. They were spreading onto the positions under the cover of their own chariots and battlefield wreckage, as if they were carefully searching for something.

They are destroying the arcane stress field generator buried underground.

Earl Palin Winterburg was tense. This was the first time he had seen a "ordinary man" legion that was not wiped out under the strategic spell attack of the Black Flag Magicians, but also retained a certain combat power. He was not only surprised by the combat power and survival ability of those ordinary people under the blessing of equipment, but also by their courage after facing such a large-scale magic strike.

At this moment, the sound of the messaging spells came into the ears of Andesha and the Earl of the Winter Castle. The magic poster set at the height of the Winter Wolf Castle came with more news about the coming of the enemy.

"The enemy's chariot was observed in the northwest direction!" "The magic reaction was observed in the southwest direction!" "The enemy's second wave of offensive was observed in the front line of defense!"

"You are right," Andesha looked at the Earl of Winterburg and said slowly, "The next one is a confrontation of hard power..."

...

Behind the main propulsion force, the original Contracting Fort had been temporarily transformed into the front line command post of the First Legion. Various magic equipment transferred from the rear occupied the hall on the first floor of the castle, with a large number of commands, contacts and coordinators coming and going in the hall, making the place appear an extremely busy scene.

It was Philip himself who was in charge of the front line attack.

A subordinate stood in front of him and reported what had just been sent back on the front line: "The propulsion troops' operations on the west side of the Winter Wolf Castle were frustrated. The vanguard was hit by the legion-level spell of the Tifeng people and could not continue to move forward. They could only slowly weaken the enemy's shield at the extreme range. The second, third and fourth echelons were trying to attack from all directions, but they were all bombarded by powerful cluster magic, and encountered some kind of trap that could interfere with the operation of the magic net device."

"It seems that the Black Flag Magicians have arrived at the Winter Wolf Castle," Philip quickly reached the conclusion and frowned. "That kind of trap has not appeared in the previous information... It seems that the Tifeng people also have some new things that we have never seen before."

"General, have you put the reserve team on the battlefield?" asked his subordinates, "The Black Flag Magicians have entered the Winter Wolf Castle early, and the ground troops are now advancing slowly..."

Philip looked up and glanced at the Magic Net terminal not far away.

"No," he shook his head, "let the propulsion troops maintain a safe distance and continue to weaken the shield of Winter Wolf Castle outside the bombing range of strategic spells. It doesn't matter if you slow down - just continue to restrain the energy of the Black Flag Magicians, and you can't give those mages a room for rest and adjustment of deployment."

"Yes, General."

After his subordinates left, Philip breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the tactical map and confirmed the terrain around the Winter Wolf Castle again and the enemy's military deployment confirmed during the last reconnaissance.

The Winter Wolf Castle is now passively defending, and although the combat power it shows is strong, it does not exceed expectations. However, the troops mobilized in various places in Tifeng are definitely gathering towards the Winter Wolf Defense Line. As time goes by, the defense of the Winter Wolf Castle will be completely stabilized and even proactive attacks will be launched.

However, he did not issue an order to invest more echelons or change the plan to advance the troops' offensive.

But looking at the tactical map in front of him and thinking about the current battlefield situation, some sound suddenly popped up in his mind—

"Do you want to try a more radical attack? Let several echelons on the front line launch a super-large cluster impact with the defensive firepower of Winter Wolf Castle. So many tanks and multi-functional tanks are distributed on the open battlefield. If you attack at the same time from all directions, even the strategic spells of the Black Flag Magicians cannot cover the entire battlefield...

"The wizard of flesh and blood has its limits. Super large-scale strategic spells must have a cooling cycle...

"Compared with another safe plan, the propulsion force may suffer greater casualties, but can achieve faster results. In this way, the military achievements will completely belong to the First Legion and there is no need to share honors with others...

"This is the battlefield, and sometimes necessary sacrifices are in exchange for necessary merit..."

Next to Philip, Malm Dunit waited patiently for the young General Cecil to make a decision with a gentle and loving smile.

Philip looked up and turned his head to look in the direction of Malm Dunit, and suddenly smiled.

Malm Dunit's gentle and loving smile suddenly stiffened, and he seemed to be in a huge shock, and subconsciously spoke: "Why are you..."

"I once believed in the God of War, and even until now, this belief should still affect my words and deeds, my way of thinking, and even subtly affect my soul - not everyone has the ability to break the seal of the soul with their own will," Philip said slowly, "So, do you think that after learning about the hidden dangers of Tifeng's godly disaster, will the soldiers of Cecil not take any protection?"

As he spoke, he raised his left hand and the thin golden chain hung down. A small device that seemed like a pocket watch slipped down from his cuffs. However, after the "dial" was opened, the light flashed inside was reminiscent of the complex curved runes of deep-sea creatures.

The moment he saw the rune, Malm Dunit felt dizzy, and his body quickly became no longer stable, and it flashed violently as if the energy was about to be interrupted!

The next second, the figure of the former God of War Pope quickly faded, as if he was planning to escape from this place through some kind of escape spell. However, before he acted, Philip had quickly pressed a button on the magic network terminal next to him-

A low-frequency oscillation containing powerful power that could not be heard by human ears instantly "echoed" throughout the room, like a soul-suppressing song, directly suppressing Malm Dunit's spirit body and expelling him from the dimension he wanted to escape to.

The officers and civilians nearby heard a howl that was not like a human. They saw a figure appearing out of thin air near the general and being knocked out in a mess. Several screams rang out around them.

Malm Dunit felt a biting tingling pain. After becoming a spirit, he thought he could no longer have a similar feeling, but some invisible force was tearing the "divine power" he used to maintain himself, making his soul seem to be about to be cracked. The continuous blows finally angered the paranoid soul. He suddenly raised his body and raised the scepter in his hand high-

A spider silk wrapped around his wrist.
