A hand full of blood struggled to touch a grenade stuck in the soil. Its owner was dying, and next to this hand, a Holy Demon Empire soldier holding his sword was lowering his head and using it.
He looked at his dying opponent with cold eyes.
"Give up, I can give you a chance to live." He persuaded in a cold voice.
The owner of that hand didn't seem to hear the words of persuasion. The hand stubbornly wanted to pick up the grenade that didn't detonate.
The young soldier of the Holy Demon Empire shook his head, pulled out his long sword and inserted it into the body of the Lancier grenadier. There was a pop of blood, and the stubborn hand stopped forever a few centimeters away from the grenade.
place.
The entire front-line position fell silent. Almost all the mines here had been trampled by the giant horse cavalry. There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield, some were burned black, and some were beaten into sieves. Each one looked different.
.
The corpses of mortals stretched for several kilometers, from the collapsed city walls to the deformed trench pits. In some places, there were still burning flames, and in some places there was a nauseating incense.
Then to the west of these mortal corpses, there are the corpses of giant horse cavalry and giant dragons. The huge corpses and corpse fragments are next to each other, which looks very spectacular. Some giant dragons are still breathing weakly.
But they were once so powerful that they can't even move their tongues.
Further west, there were equally countless corpses of the Holy Demon Empire's magician regiments and baggage troops. The huge body of the mountain-moving beast became an excellent target for attack aircraft. Although most of the bombs were dropped into the crowd,
But these transportation units mixed in with the crowd also suffered a devastating disaster.
The mountain-moving beasts piled with supplies are now lying on the ground, letting their blood seep into the ground. The logistics soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire are working hard to rescue these destroyed supplies, including their rations and the mountains of magic.
Replenish fluid.
They have to rely on these things to fight in the demonic realm ruled by mortals. If they are all destroyed, then these magicians will be no different from the old men. Unfortunately, many magic replenishing fluids have been destroyed, and the magic power has been evaporated.
It's in the air.
Next to the body of the mountain-moving beast, the remains of the Lancier attack plane are scattered in various directions. Most of the golden eagle on the wing has been burned to black by the flames, but the remaining part is still shining in the sun.
light.
Standing not far away, the commander of the Holy Demon Empire in charge of this battle looked bitterly at the body of the giant horse knight who fell in the minefield, touched the dead dragon next to him with his hand, and asked:
"Do you think we won or lost?"
"We lost about 170 giant dragons, more than 1,300 magicians, and more than 1,500 giant horse cavalry. If we only look at the losses, this battle can almost be described as a disastrous defeat." Mentioning these losses.
, the magician standing next to him said also very frustrated.
They were ordered to lead the army to attack eastward, but what they thought was a sure-fire battle turned into what it is now. Just for one fortress, they put in 3,000 people. Even for the entire Holy Demon Empire, this loss was huge.
Not too small.
If Landhir's defenders hadn't taken the initiative to retreat and ended the battle, they might have continued to fight here, paying a heavier price for every step forward.
The problem is that they only advanced less than 2 kilometers. Although they annihilated tens of thousands of Landhir soldiers, such an exchange ratio is definitely not cost-effective. According to the previous battle loss ratio, a dragon knight exchanged for
There are still 1,000 soldiers to spare, and now, one dragon knight can probably be replaced by... 10...
The dragon knight's loss can be compensated for in some way, but the magician's loss is really a loss. To train a magician, from apprentice to bachelor, and finally to a magician, it takes a long time to accumulate.
Although the Holy Demon Empire has thousands of magicians, they are all precious wealth accumulated over a long period of time. As a result, thousands of magicians were killed in this battle. It will take a long time to make up for such losses.
As the high-ranking commander of the Holy Demon Empire, they had seen the production of weapons from Lancier. He saw with his own eyes the bullet production line purchased from Lancier, producing bullets one by one at a speed that could be called rapid.
come out.
As long as there are enough such machines and the raw materials produced are sufficient, these war weapons can be continuously replenished in the hands of Landhir soldiers. With simple training, the lethality of these weapons can threaten giant horse knights and even dragons.
knight……
After such an exchange, the Holy Demon Empire will definitely be unable to bear it. Therefore, facing such a difficult enemy, the Holy Demon Empire has only one choice, and that is to make a quick decision and solve the problem of Lan Xier as quickly as possible.
"We just captured one fortress..." The general of the Holy Demon Empire moved his gaze away from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and cast his eyes on the dilapidated ruins in the distance: "They will have many such fortresses.
."
In fact, what really stops the Holy Demon Empire's troops are the invisible, almost free trenches and the soldiers stationed in the trenches. As long as the opponent can build such a hateful defense line, then the Holy Demon Empire's
Losses will continue to remain high.
What makes the senior commanders of the Holy Demon Empire even more frustrated is that they still don't know how many troops that can fight like this, how many strange devices Lancier has flying in the sky, and whether the production speed is enough.
quick.
"The opponent's new flying device is very deadly to the dragon knights. We will lose the sky soon... You have also seen what losing the sky means to us." The general looked at the magician beside him,
He spoke.
The magician also felt that the problem he faced was very difficult. If his magic army wanted to carry out long-range attacks, it needed to deploy large magic arrays. However, these magic arrays had just been attacked by Lancier's aircraft.
The Magic Legion, which had always been at the rear, lost so many magicians because of this attack. Although they shot down about twenty IL-2 attack aircraft, the Magic Legion's losses were obviously greater.
"But we have to keep pushing forward! If they are allowed to produce more weapons like this, the Holy Demon Empire will become dangerous!" The magician had already begun to worry about the future of his motherland.
"Yes, we can only continue to move forward..." Looking at the Lancier fighter jets in the distant sky that had not left, the commander said bitterly: "Let Bakalov mobilize more
Supplies, let’s continue to try eastward!”
…
In the city of Seris, far away from the front line, Chris, who learned that the war had begun, was nervously guarding the radio communications room, waiting for the latest news about the battlefield.
A few minutes ago, he had just heard about the heavy losses of the frontline troops. After just more than two hours of fighting, his troops were forced to retreat. He knew that he still underestimated the Holy Demon Empire and underestimated these powerful forces.
An ancient country that is more than a hundred years old.
"We need a more detailed report, let the investigation department go to the front line, and send those soldiers who have witnessed the battles of the Holy Demon Empire to Seris! We need to study more targeted methods of fighting!" He looked at Deans beside him,
He opened his mouth and ordered.
"Understood!" Deans nodded, and then looked at the great magician of Frunzberg who looked a little embarrassed at the side: "Mr. Consultant... don't get too entangled in this war, and pay attention to rest..."
"I know, I know, but I still... it's better to stay here." Frunzberg shook his head and said: "On the one hand, I am afraid that people from the Holy Demon Empire will come to assassinate Your Majesty, on the other hand, I
I feel that even if the Holy Demon Empire invades Seris tomorrow, I hope to die standing by His Majesty’s side.”
"Thank you! But I think the situation is not that bad." Chris forced a smile and comforted his chief magic advisor: "Our air force's losses were not heavy, and the army actually did not use its full strength.
"
In fact, two hours ago, part of the garrison regiment of the 1st Army had followed into Higgs, and General Walter's main force had also begun to prepare to move into the Higgs area to fight.
If we take into account the garrison troops deployed on the second line for fear of the dragon's attack, as well as the 2nd Division and other main forces that have not been transferred to the counterattack, the Landsil Empire's defense force in the Higgs area is actually not damaged at all.
Compared with before the war began, the number of troops deployed in the Higgs territory has not only not been weakened, but has also been greatly strengthened. An hour ago, the air force in the Seris area began to reinforce the Higgs area.
100 me-109 fighter jets covered 25 47 transport aircraft, carrying a large number of maintenance machinery and 300 ground technicians to the front line. The purpose of their trip was simple, to compete for air supremacy in the Higgs area!
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Landseer's Minister of Defense, who was more than a little more handsome than Chris, Cape Kastner, who had taken over the coordination of Waggron's army, hurried over.
Now he is granted the title of Grand Duke of Higgs, but he still enjoys the jurisdiction over the Higgs region in name only, so many people call him the Minister, but his old ministry prefers to call him the Grand Duke.
Because he was actually only engaged in the management of military government affairs, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Army seemed somewhat inappropriate, so he became the Minister of the "Ministry of Defense."
"Mr. Kastner..." Chris looked at his future father-in-law with some embarrassment and said, "What happened?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! My daughter, uh, Princess Luna, is missing." Kastner is even more embarrassed than Chris at this moment, after all, he has not yet taken the position of the nominal father-in-law.
In fact, his daughter disappeared without a trace on the eve of her wedding.
