Xiuge did not calculate the specific time. He only knew that when he walked out of the depths of the trench, what he saw was already the setting sun.
When Xiuge moved his gaze downward from the horizon, he saw the Black Forest Town that had changed.
In this town, he could no longer see many complete buildings. The artillery bombardment that lasted all day created thick magic clouds, which filled the shabby town. At this time,
There is no need for magical silence anymore, because the flow of magic in this entire area has been completely disrupted. Even if magic is used, the traces created will be obscured by the fog.
The floating mist slowly rises from between the broken buildings, forming strange totems one after another, while the light of the setting sun passes through these pictures and spreads its meager temperature on this piece of land.
Broken earth.
Xiuge didn't have much time to appreciate the spectacle brought about by this large-scale magical bombardment, because he had to "dig in the soil" quickly.
When the bombardment was about to end, a shell hit the trench. The violent explosion destroyed part of the solidification ceremony attached to the trench. The chain reaction caused the collapse of a bunker deep in the trench. Thirty or forty members of the Jäger Regiment were killed.
soldiers were buried inside.
The tight time has brought many problems and hidden dangers to the construction of trenches. For the soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment, it is just the first time for them to use this new type of positions and fortifications, even for those who have already learned the relevant content in advance.
There is no way for mages to do this perfectly.
Taking advantage of the rest time of the Terlander artillery, they must make up for the mistakes and deficiencies made in the previous construction of trenches as soon as possible.
With the operation of magic one after another, the soil was continuously transported out. Not long after, the collapsed room was cleared out. Because it didn't take too long, the vast majority of these soldiers survived.
However, there were still a few unlucky ones who were crushed tightly by the collapsing soil and were probably suffocated to death by then.
Although St. Steele's territory is vast, most of it is frozen soil in the northern snowfields. Although that kind of place is rich in magic crystal minerals, mining it is time-consuming, laborious, and sometimes very life-consuming.
, among the three kingdoms on the plateau, only the royal family of St. Steele participated in this war with the risk of national subjugation... In Shuge's heart, there is even a conjecture that once St. Steele...
If the kingdom is in a moment of real crisis, then the first person to take action against it is most likely not the peace between the Plains Kingdoms and Merlin.
He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the huge castle that exuded an aristocratic and magical aura.
She walked over quietly, stood next to Xiuge, and her eyes briefly stayed on the cigarette between his fingers for two seconds.
Both sides are scrambling for time. The 5th Chasseur Regiment needs to ensure the transportation routes for follow-up reinforcements and supplies, and continue to control the roads along the Black Forest River, while the Deland Army needs to find a way to prevent more Votel troops from supporting them.
Take back control of important roads and bridges.
Soon, the light of a lantern illuminated Wei Lin's figure.
Fortunately, as spell casters, their energy is more vigorous and abundant than ordinary soldiers. With the magic supply brought by high-quality magic crystals and the magic potions provided by alchemy doctors, they can be in a short period of time.
Stay excited and awake.
Many details show that Alfred and other officers are not so optimistic about the battle that the 5th Chasseur Regiment will face next. The Chasseur Regiment is not an expert in defense, and the weapons they bring are not enough for them to support a complete defense.
Positions, however, in the current strategic plan of the Kingdom of Votel, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment has to temporarily change its combat style and rely on defensive positions to meet enemies several times larger than itself.
They originally thought that Shuge, as a young generation with a prominent position in the Ernst family, only came here to gild and gain seniority, but Shuge's performance along the way was too good, and his abilities in some aspects were even better.
It makes some soldiers feel ashamed, which makes many people believe that after this operation is over, this young nobleman named Shuge Ernst is very likely to become the next batch of key training and training in the Kingdom of Votel.
Promoted officer.
"Black Forest Castle?"
Soon, a team quietly left the position of the 5th Chasseur Regiment and headed in the direction of Black Forest Castle.
Under the darkness of night, Shuge, who was riding a horse, could see the shadow of the Black Forest Castle on the distant hills.
Master Krauts conveyed the order: "We also need to build a temporary field hospital and ammunition warehouse in the third trench. No mistakes can be made in these places. If you don't want to be held accountable, every ceremony must be completed."
Make it perfect!”
However, the members of the 5th Chasseur Regiment have become accustomed to his appearance, including the spies and veterans installed by the Ernst family.
After leaving the surveillance range of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment's position, the accompanying mages in the team, including Wei Lin, deliberately called out their own magical summons. Soon, these magical creatures ran in different directions.
Or fly away, the purpose of their existence is to detect the traces of magic in the area near the road.
Not in tune.
"um, yes."
However, compared to staying in the trenches and facing the shelling and charges of the Delans, the mission Shuge is currently accepting is already very safe. Among this team, Shuge even saw those veterans who were specially used to protect his own safety.
, obviously this task is some small "preferential treatment" provided by Major Alfred and Master Krauts within a reasonable range.
The sight of a large number of mages working with shovels and other tools is really shocking.
"If these farmlands are bombed by crystalline bombs, the magic power in the soil will be out of control, right?"
Xiuge naturally has no need for these things. With the vitality brought by the "Walking Forest", he has very strong physical and mental energy, so his work efficiency is far better than that of ordinary mage accompanying the army.
So Xiuge immediately grabbed Wei Lin and asked, "Do we have any mages who are active alone in this area?"
The night sky in winter was very clean and clear, and the stars were extremely bright, so Xiuge raised his head and looked at the night sky. He was not very interested in astronomy in the past, so he could not distinguish between the starry sky in Fanen and his past world.
There was no specific difference in the night sky. He felt that he was simply looking for a sense of familiarity and tranquility in that clean picture.
Just thinking about this method of death makes people despair.
It should be very reasonable to match it with the hills and forests, but when Shuge turned his head and looked at the dilapidated town in the distance with the magic mist floating in it, and the river that had witnessed the roar of heavy machine guns a few days ago,
But I feel that this castle is so...
"While inspecting the Black Forest Fort, our people discovered some weapons reserves left behind by the Delander Corps in the past, including a dozen crystal cannons. Although they are all old models, they are exactly what we are lacking now."
"Such a wonderful land, it would be a shame if it turned out like that."
This kind of thing is very familiar to cultivators. It is the waste produced by spellcasters after they have absorbed the magic power from it. Moreover, the people who discarded this thing also did some cover-up, which means that the users of these crystals are deliberately
Cover your tracks.
Xiuge was a little confused: "What are you going to do there?"
Footsteps were heard from the other end of the trench, so Shuge immediately restrained his touch from Charron and looked toward the direction of the sound while holding the smoke.
Wei Lin said slowly: "Major Alfred believes that tomorrow the Delans army is likely to start advancing after one or two rounds of artillery bombardment. By then they will discover the exact location of our position and launch a formal attack.
If our position can be supported by artillery at that time, everything will be much easier."
But considering that her friend and student already had enough quirks, Weilin was too lazy to study and care about them one by one.
This journey is not absolutely safe. Although the road between the Jaeger Regiment's position and the Black Forest Fort has been cleared several times before, under the current circumstances, no one can say whether the Delans will send small
The troops detoured back to such a sensitive place to carry out operations. After all, everyone knew that the results of the operations of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment in the Black Forest area would determine the Kingdom of Votel's subsequent action plan in this area.
Standing alone in the dim light, listening to the voices coming from other places, Xiuge felt a special sense of tranquility.
In this context, it is difficult to say whether the Delan people will take any special actions.
He just leaned against the wall of the trench, smoking and watching his mage's hands working with Charron's Touch.
But then, she said: "We have a temporary order and we need to go to Black Forest Castle tonight."
"Reinforce, continue to reinforce...don't save magic power in these places."
Although it has been clamoring in Xiuge's spiritual world to come out and hang out, Xiuge did not do so. After all, this guy's size is really beyond the specifications of ordinary magical creatures. Once it starts to have fun, the movement will
But it's so big that no ordinary steam vehicle can possibly compete with it.
As she said that, she tilted her head: "It's time to set off now. Our current means of transportation are very scarce, so we may even use horses. In short, time is tight, let's go."
Amidst the floating magic light and shadow and the continuous collision of metal and soil, Xiuge lit a cigarette. There was no one else around him at this time, so he simply released the Touch of Charron,
Directly improve your work efficiency to the limit.
For the mages accompanying the 5th Chasseur Regiment, this was undoubtedly a sleepless night.
Soon, a lot of information in a quite large area was passed on by the magic rats of the Ernst family. As these rats explored in detail, Shuge's expression began to gradually change - the rats were in the distance.
Many abnormal traces were found very close to the road. In a snowdrift, these rats even found abandoned magic crystals.
The nearby plain should have been a vast farmland. The soil quality on the Goddess Plain is very good, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture. Even though these farmland are now dyed white due to snowfall, the snow layer is not too thick in places.
, Xiuge could still see the black fertile soil secretly extending from beneath the snow from time to time.
Xiuge sighed softly, but this sentence attracted a somewhat surprised look from Weilin.
Wei Lin nodded: "If high-power crystal shells are used, their magic explosion may even completely change the soil quality here."
It looks like a signpost erected at the junction of the times, eye-catching and subtle.
But its current plateau allies.
As for the running rat...
Hearing this, Xiuge had no choice but to disband his magic and hand over the tools to several soldiers from the Chasseur Regiment who came to take over his work.
Along with the team heading to the Black Forest Castle, there are also some alchemical doctors and soldiers injured in today's shelling. These soldiers will no longer be able to fight in a short period of time. They will be placed in the relatively safe Black Forest Castle.
Get treatment and be ready for transfer.
Of course she agreed with Shuge's words, but she felt strange that as Shuge's identity, it seemed that he should not express such emotion... Even if he was an illegitimate son of the Ernst family, in the past
You should not have any special feelings towards agriculture.
Shuge summoned the rats of the Ernst family that had been trapped in the metal disc for a long time. These magic rats with human will and wisdom quickly disappeared into the darkness. These rats in the underground time
Souls that have been depressed for a hundred years like this kind of "relaxation" activity very much, and they are also happy to help their family and country strive for more benefits and honors.
Seeing such soil, Shuge can somewhat understand the obsession in the hearts of the people of St. Steele.
Wei Lin quickly shook her head: "We only set up reconnaissance posts on the periphery of these areas. There will be no military mages acting alone here. This is against military regulations... Is there something abnormal?"
So Shuge immediately informed Wei Lin of his discovery, and at the same time he ordered the rats to directly bring back the abandoned magic crystals.
Wei Lin held the crystal in her hand, and after quickly observing and feeling it, her expression immediately became serious.
"The concentration of magic power is very high. It is a high-quality crystal produced in the snow in the north. Even if it is abandoned, there is still a lot of magic power left in it. This is an extremely luxurious way to use it... I can be sure that this is not what we mages would do.
