Chapter 606 Tactics
Silver City Time: Dr3717-06-09 10:00 a.m. (24h system), Scarlett Time: 47:00 p.m. (73h system), Alpha Time: 21:00 a.m. (45H system).
Large numbers of human mercenaries passed through the bottom of Heights 621. Their formation was chaotic, their bodies were more or less wounded, and they were in a sorry state as they fled towards the Nether River. The three demon aristocratic forces chased after him eight kilometers to the north. After a simple reorganization, they began to attack. They chased after him with a fierce aura, completely ignoring the human line of defense.
A few hours ago, after discovering the demon army, Tie Zha immediately ordered the headquarters to be moved to the other side of the Nether River. Originally, he wanted to stay at the front line, but Mu Qianhe, Bi Tianqing and the Black Pig King expressed their strong opposition. They said that he was the commander-in-chief and could not risk his life. If anything happened, the situation would get out of control. Helplessly, he could only take the airship and leave with Mu Qianhe and Bi Tianqing, while the Black Pig King, Yang Yong, Big Beard, and Bai Xiaotian stayed in the highlands.
At this moment, in the command tent, more than ten military staff officers dressed in neat clothes and wearing white gloves were gathered around the simulated sand table, whispering to each other. Behind them, there were three rows of communication soldiers wearing headphones and sitting in front of computers. Some were staring at the screen, some were whispering, and some were inputting information. At the entrance, the messengers rushed in and out with folders in their hands.
Tie Zha sat on the only marching chair in the field and stared fixedly at the cursor in the sand table. Mu Qianhe and Bi Tianqing stood beside him, leaning down from time to time and whispering in his ear.
In the simulated sand table, the three red arrows representing the demon army were moving at a constant speed towards Height 621. At the same time, there were several arrows moving towards the defensive lines of the garrison to the west and east of the highlands.
Originally, according to Tie Zha’s plan, if he encountered more than three demon nobles, he would retreat to the 98 war zone of the Far East Serpent Race. However, because the situation was urgent now, he had to accumulate enough merit points to fill Eva’s vacancy as soon as possible, so he decided to take the risk.
After the demon army entered the five kilometers high ground, Bi Tianqing issued a shelling order.
“6018 artillery regiment, bombard the enemy’s front position, 6019 artillery regiment, bombard the enemy’s right wing forces, 6020 artillery regiment, continue to move in the direction of three o’clock.”
Not long after, the movement speed of the demon army slowed down, and it was obvious that they had been poured by artillery fire.
About ten minutes later, a military intelligence report came from the 621 Highland.
“The enemy troops have entered visual range. Their skin is dark golden. It is initially determined that a Curse Mage has added ‘Steel Skin’ to their skin.”
“The enemy Central Army has begun to accelerate. It is expected to enter cannon range in three minutes.”
“The first round of the lightning spear attack has ended. Our battle damage is unknown …”
“Shelling begins.”
“The second round of lightning spear attacks has ended. Our battle damage is unknown …”
“The enemy has entered the range of the assault rifle. Full firepower.”
“The enemy has already rushed to the bottom of the highlands and started climbing …”
“At eleven o’clock, the Soaring Dragon Force appears. The number of troops is over three hundred. Request reinforcements!”
“The flying dragon army is approaching at full speed. Request reinforcements!”
Immediately after, the Black Pig King’s anxious voice came from the communication channel, “Boss, quickly think of a way. We don’t have enough air force, we don’t dare to go up and fight!”
Tie Zha looked at Bi Tianqing on the right. The latter immediately bowed and said, “Let them hold on for a while longer. Let’s first figure out the abilities of the military spellmasters before making a decision.”
Tie Zha hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the walkie-talkie and saying, “Black Pig King, save the air force’s strength and investigate the abilities of the Curse Master.”
“Yes!” A loud voice came from over there.
Following that, Bi Tianqing gave the latest order.
A3065, A3066, A3067 Air Combat Squads are on standby. The Independent Armored Division is moving east of Heights 621, ready to intercept the Flying Dragons.
A few minutes later, Yang Yong’s shout came again.
“Boss, their lightning spears have been blessed with Shadow Corrosion. With a single shot, hundreds of brothers will be gone. There’s also corrosive gas spreading everywhere. We can’t hold on any longer!”
“They seem to be surrounded by a protective shield, and the rockets won’t be able to enter.” The Black Pig King said.
Bi Tianqing leaned down and whispered in Tie Zha’s ear, “It’s the Curse Mage who believes in the Dark Emperor and protects the Dark Emperor.” He then explained that Shadow Corrosion could increase the damage area of the Lightning Spear, and Dark Protection could block any damage. This was the simplest and most direct spell, but it was also the safest. The method to deal with it was also very simple and straightforward. It was to concentrate the fire and consume the shield.
“First use the ground forces to consume their shields, then use the air force and armoured units to destroy them.” Bi Tianqing said the final plan.
‘”That person on the high ground” Tie Zha frowned, looking a little hesitant.
“We have something to say in the Far East …” Bi Tianqing hinted, “Be merciful.” He then added, “As long as the air force is present, we can take back the highlands.”
Tie Zha frowned, his expression uncertain, occasionally clenching his fists, and occasionally loosening them. In the end, he closed his eyes and connected to the Black Boar King’s communication. He ordered in a low voice, “Bring all the power-armored warriors, transform the human warriors, and retreat to the south.”
The other side was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes!”
Not long after, Yang Yong’s exclamation came from the communication channel, “Boss, this is …” Seeing the Black Pig King retreat, he was instantly shocked to the extreme. Not only did he not wait for reinforcements, he was also sent away elites.
Tie Zha took a deep breath and said, “Brother, break their shields.”
There was silence on the other side. After a while, a sigh sounded, “Alright, I understand …”
“My wife and children are both in Elk City.” “I will arrange for them to return to the Far East.”
“Thank you …” After a pause, he said, “Our boss Bill, although he has some shortcomings, is very loyal. Please treat him kindly.”
“Alright.” Tie Zha nodded.
After hanging up the communication, Yang Yong took off his power armor helmet and shouted at the guards beside him, “Brothers, fight them!”
“Croak, croak, croak!” “Croak, croak, croak!” “Croak, croak, croak!” “Croak, croak, croak!”
Another ear-piercing cry sounded from above. The light suddenly dimmed and hundreds of black shadows flew past.
“Kill!” Yang Yong roared, leading the guards out of the bunker and shooting towards the dark group of flying dragons.
“Da da da!” “Da da da!” “Da da da!” “Da da da!”
In an instant, a shuttle bullet was like a streak of light that pierced through the sky. It struck the invisible screen of light, flickering with light and darkness.
“Thunderous! Thunderous!”
Hundreds of rockets shot out and exploded on the screen.
At the same time, hundreds of meteors flew down from the sky, blowing up the soldiers on the mountain.
Snow rose into the sky, and green smoke billowed everywhere. The soldiers who could not dodge fell to the ground with their necks clutched. Wisps of white smoke emerged from his skin, emitting a soft sizzling sound. Like a melting candle, it gradually turned into a pool of mucus.
The flying dragon knights attacked wave after wave. Every time they swept across the mountains, they would take hundreds of lives.
During the battle, Yang Yong looked down the mountain, and countless demon warriors were climbing up. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they rushed forward and slaughtered them all. Looking to the left and right, the soldiers’ eyes were filled with despair, and their will to fight was rapidly dissipating.
He was dressed in power armor and could escape alone, but facing these brothers, he couldn’t do it …
“Brothers, we will all die here today.”
“However, there is nothing to regret.”
“Since we’ve become mercenaries and entered the battlefield, death is our final destination.”
“I believe that the lord in the rear tent will let us die well and worthily!”
“Our hard-earned money will be sent to our families.”
“Stand up and let those stupid big guys see who the real man is!”
Yang Yong roared loudly, and his voice spread throughout the entire mountain top. The soldiers were refreshed and subconsciously gripped the weapons in their hands.
“Croak, croak, croak!” “Croak, croak, croak!” “Croak, croak, croak!” “Croak, croak, croak!”
The hoarse scream of the Scaleless Flying Dragon came from far to near. Yang Yong stood on the top of the mountain and ordered, “Shoot!”
In the blink of an eye, dense bullets poured out like a rainstorm. Rockets continued to explode one after another. The screen of light that enveloped the group of flying dragons finally shattered.
Fifteen minutes later, Heights 621 fell to the enemy, and more than five thousand soldiers were killed.
At this time, the Black Pig King led the power-armored warriors and reformers back, firing at the flying dragon knights. The latter had just won, and his morale had risen. Although the light screen had been broken, it had an overwhelming advantage in numbers and immediately counterattacked.
The Black Pig King retreated as he fought, introducing the Flying Dragon Knights into the encirclement of the independent armored division on the east side.
In an instant, flames sprayed out from the ground and machine guns fired at the same time. Hundreds of heat-tracking missiles flew up with sharp howls that pierced through the air.
In the sky, bright fireballs slowly rose.
The Flying Dragon Knights were attacked and immediately retreated to the north. At this moment, the airships that were flashing with red light poked out of the clouds, and the guns rang out.
For a moment, the group of flying dragon knights had nowhere to go. The sudden attack from the sky and the ground left them at a loss and instantly fell into chaos. The flying dragons collided with each other, letting out miserable screams as they continuously fell to the ground.
In less than ten minutes, the once arrogant horde of Soaring Dragon Knights had been completely annihilated.
In the command tent, on the simulated sand table, the arrows representing the group of flying dragons gradually dimmed and finally disappeared.
Bi Tianqing looked at Tie Zha and nodded, “Congratulations, Lord Tie Zha, you have obtained a delightful victory.”
Tie Zha, on the other hand, had his eyes half closed, and his spirits were somewhat low.
Following that, the three artillery regiments of the mixed mecha division bombarded the 621 Heights one after another. The Independent Armored Division circled the rear to attack and annihilate the scattered demon squads.
After two hours of artillery fire, the flying regiment joined forces with the power-armored warriors and reformers, dropping 500 Marine soldiers to recapture the highlands. Finally, under the pressure of multiple attacks and three-dimensional battles, the demon warriors fell into chaos. Some of the warriors drank the berserk potion, killing each other regardless of whether they were enemies or friends. Soon, they were divided and annihilated.
After the battle, almost all of the four forces were annihilated. Yang Yong died in the battle, and Big Beard was lucky enough to survive amidst the pile of corpses. Bai Xiaotian and his six brothers flew out of the highlands. The infantry division was reduced by 4,000 men, and the two infantry regiments were annihilated. A total of more than 10,000 people were lost. Finally, the demon alliance army was taken down.
However, before everyone could clean up the battlefield, the scouts sent in an emergency military intelligence. Five demon forces appeared 120 kilometers away, heading towards this place. There were more than 5,000 warriors and 700 flying dragon knights. Meanwhile, the surrounding garrisons were in a bitter battle, and their defensive lines were on the verge of collapse.
“Ask the Theater Commander for help, or retreat to Theater 98.” Bi Tianqing gave her two choices.
