In the distant territory of Higgs, in the area occupied by the Holy Demon Empire, an officer was reporting on the latest attack progress: "The enemy has stubbornly blocked us here and here. We are trying to break through these lines of defense, but the casualties are too serious.
Already."
The Holy Demon Empire wants to advance to Higgs Nar in one go and occupy the former capital of Higgs, in order to destroy the resistance will of the nearby defenders. This is their common combat strategy, and it is also a very effective combat strategy.
Strategy.
However, this attack did not go smoothly. The troops of the Holy Demon Empire suffered heavy losses during the eastward attack. They made more than 30 kilometers of progress to the south and advanced more than 20 kilometers to the north. As their troops attacked eastward,
0 kilometers, forming a huge protrusion.
There are still about 97 kilometers away from Higgs Nar, and the offensive power of the Holy Demon Empire has been almost exhausted. They hope that the opponent will completely collapse next time they attack, but after attacking again and again, they saw Ailan
The tenacity of the Hill Grenadiers.
These warriors quickly formed a new line of defense behind the broken defense line and continued to fight with the support of the air force. Both sides would pay a heavy price in every battle. The Holy Demon Empire has now wiped out more than 50,000 Ailanthil troops.
Even though the war is over, there are still no signs of ending.
In order to eliminate these 50,000 people, the Holy Demon Empire paid the price of more than 10,000 soldiers. 2,000 hard-to-train magicians were killed, and hundreds of dragon knights died. What is even more frightening is that even though they attacked so aggressively, there was still no
Methods to organically annihilate the mortal forces of Elansil.
The opponent has been retreating in an orderly manner, and only lost some second-line troops in the rear when covering the retreat. Even the nearby civilians were evacuated in a planned way, leaving nothing of value to the Holy Demon Empire at all.
"It is true that they have been retreating, but it is also true that they have not suffered a fatal blow. It is difficult for me to imagine what a determined counterattack we will encounter in Higesnar if we continue to go east."
The great magician of the magician army on the side said worriedly.
He is not a magician in charge of war. The magician army is only used to support operations. The actual generals have the final say on how to fight and where to fight. He only has certain suggestions and the right to refuse.
The leader of the commander was also in a bad mood. His attack was basically consuming each other with mortals, without making any decent progress at all. If he continued to fight like this, he would go all the way to Higgs Nar, and he would not continue to attack.
The strength before.
So he spoke depressedly and expressed his worries: "I'm not worried about Higgs Nar, I'm worried about the safety of the dragon knights we dispersed! We don't have an accurate picture of whether the harassment tactic has been successful or not.
The news made it impossible for me to judge whether the enemy force has been seriously weakened."
A large number of dragon knights, or in other words half of the dragon knight troops on the eastern front that he is holding in his hand now, have been sent out to implement this harassment tactic. However, such tactics take time to accumulate victory, and can be obtained by harassment in a short time.
The results of the battle will not be directly reflected in frontline operations.
But unlike before, this commander has been worried that his harassment tactics have not worked. It is like a general's sixth sense. He is always worried that the nearly a hundred dragon knights he sent out will not be able to return to his hands.
Hearing this concern, the magician was stunned for a moment, then looked at the general and asked, "If the harassment tactics didn't work, why would they fall into a passive state of continuous retreat?"
After glancing at the magician, the general replied helplessly: "That's because we are constantly attacking! You can't feel the frontal pressure, but I can feel it! Their defense line has not become fragile, and their logistics supplies seem to have not become weak.
There were no serious problems.”
"Then what should we do now? Give up the plan to continue the attack on Higgs Nar?" Hearing the commander say this, the magician was a little panicked and could not care about his and the other party's choice of the Grand Consul.
Disagreed, he opened his mouth and continued to ask.
"Yes, I think it is safer for us to turn to the south and attack this huge protrusion now." The commander thought for a while and seemed to have made a major decision. He had been worried about his flanks.
For safety, it is obviously more prudent to take some precautions.
The magician obviously disagreed with this decision and questioned: "Do you think a mortal empire will launch a large-scale strategic counterattack against a magic empire?"
The commander of the Holy Demon Empire sneered and asked: "Why is it impossible? Half a month ago, you didn't believe that the Mortal Empire could withstand our attack head-on! But now, they not only resisted it, but also made us feel
There was tremendous pressure.”
"Okay, I admit that the Elanthir Empire is different from other mortal empires! Do you think they are planning a counterattack?" The magician also realized that it seemed that his habitual thinking was interfering with his thinking.
The mortal empire in front of us is obviously no longer an ordinary mortal empire. Their aircraft and those damn heavy artillery are all terrifying weapons that can bring serious losses to the Holy Demon Empire.
And those steadfast Airan Hill soldiers who are willing to fight the Holy Demon Empire to the end are also enemies that he must take seriously. These originally very weak mortals, after being armed with these weapons, become dangerous, even if
As a magician, if you are not careful, you will pay a heavy price.
"I'm just worried that they are preparing to counterattack, so I plan to change the direction of the attack. First solve the problem of defense of the salient on my side, and then consider how to attack better." The commander expressed his thoughts.
He pointed casually on the map with his hand and continued to explain: "In addition, there is another advantage to mobilizing troops to go south. At least we can avoid the Higesnar area where the opponent's key defense is, and instead go to the area where the defense is not as strong.
progress in the southern region."
"Okay, I have no objection. You are the commander, and it is your right to choose how to attack." Seeing that the other party was very considerate, the magician also felt that changing the direction of the attack was a good idea.
Even he himself may not have realized that he was subconsciously looking forward to giving up the frontal attack. The commander's decision to focus the attack on the south actually made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Such an attitude shows that he is already afraid of attacking the defensive position of Ailan Hill head-on, because every time he attacks, he has to face the bombing of the opponent's attack planes. Faced with the enemy's artillery fire, he sees a large number of magicians killed. His magic
The commander of the legion was very anxious and helpless.
Now, it is obviously good news that the main force of Elanthir can be avoided. If the opponent is not as tightly defended as the front, a quick assault battle will also be very helpful for the Holy Demon Empire to reduce consumption.
No one likes a stalemate in a tough battle, and everyone is willing to fight a war in which the winner can be determined immediately. This is true for the Holy Demon Empire, and the same is true for Elan Hill. Just south of the protrusion of the Holy Demon Empire, a huge army
The Irish Legion is advancing north.
On the road that had been crushed to a pulp, tanks were slowly advancing one after another. Following on both sides of these tanks were rows of Irish Grenadiers carrying rifles.
The truck dragged the 55mm howitzer behind the tank troops, and behind it was the 05mm howitzer pulled by the horse, winding along the road into the distance, with no end in sight.
The engine of an E-09 fighter jet covering this force roared and passed over the heads of the troops at low altitude. Under the wings were densely packed 42 steel helmets that were moving forward.
On the front engine compartment cover of the jeep, the dazzling golden eagle shone brightly. The officers sitting in the car squinted their eyes and looked proudly at the e-09 fighter jet flying over at low altitude, and at the other fighter jet overhead.
A fighter jet, looking at more and more fighter jets in the distance...
"The Second Army is fighting quite hard. Once our counterattack starts, they can breathe a sigh of relief!" Wageron put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Walter, the commander of the Second Army next to him.
He is now standing on the slope beside the road, watching the endless troops passing by in front of him. This army was ordered to take the lead in counterattacking the Holy Demon Empire troops, both from a tactical and strategic point of view.
It is of great significance.
Walter stood next to Wageron, also overlooking his troops, and said: "The fuel and ammunition are well prepared. The most conservative estimate of our attack is that it can hit Barro. The other party will realize that their retreat will be
Cut off by us.”
Waggron was very concerned about his first battle against the Holy Demon Empire, and reminded Walter: "If nothing happens, they will immediately return to consolidate their rear, and we will face their counterattack."
Walter nodded, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he calmed down his emotions and said firmly: "It's a hard battle, we have never fought such a difficult battle. Even so, I am still confident to complete the mission!
"
Satisfied with Walter's answer, Waggron nodded and encouraged: "As long as we hold on, this army of the Holy Demon Empire can stay in Higgs territory... stay here forever!"
"Yes, we will be the first mortal army to invade the Magic Empire!" Walter said proudly.
"Victory belongs to Elanthir! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Waggron looked into the distance with firm eyes.
"Victory belongs to Eiland Hill!" Walter also said: "It also belongs to our First Army! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
