Under everyone's gaze, the vortex on the clouds that looked like a devil's eye began to fly slowly and firmly towards the pine tree.
Although the coalition of civilized races had repelled the large-scale invasion of the wilderness races and mobilized some high-level extraordinary beings to check the situation. But when facing a true god, these extraordinary beings and ordinary people who are extremely powerful in the eyes of mortals
There's not much difference when facing them.
"Damn it, there's no way to stop it!" Seeing groups of extraordinary beings trying to intercept the blood-red whirlpool but failing, the headquarters here in Pine Valley was in chaos.
Because judging from the current situation, the power belonging to the Spider Goddess Rose is now targeting Pine Valley.
"I've probably figured out what's going on." Xiaorou, who had been monitoring the telegrams from various departments on the battlefield, suddenly said to Lawrence through soul contact. "This should be the lady's revenge, at least according to the reports from various battlefields.
According to the intelligence, the total attack of the wilderness races this night failed miserably, and even the main forces such as the dark elves or gray dwarves suffered heavy losses."
According to the little doll, the wilderness race basically mobilized its entire army in this night attack and then completely hit the iron plate. The reason is also very simple, that is, their memory of the military operations of the civilized race is still stuck in the last time.
During the Civilization Expedition.
But what they didn't expect was that more than seventy years had passed since the last civilized expedition, and the military armament of civilized races could be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
For example, during the civilized expedition more than 70 years ago, the transportation of civilized races mainly relied on oxen and horses, with occasionally one or two large puppets helping to transport artillery. And the weapons they used were limited to front-end weapons made from early steam engines.
Mounted smoothbore cannon and muzzleloading smoothbore flintlock muskets.
But after more than seventy years of development, the armies of civilized races are no longer what they used to be. Single-shot rifled rifles with metal cartridges in the rear have replaced those front-loaded smoothbore flintlock rifles, and rifled guns in the rear have also replaced those
Front-loading smoothbore gun.
In addition, continuous fire weapons such as steam machine guns and hand-operated rotary machine guns have also been added to the army's weapons and equipment.
Although this group of wilderness races also obtained some weapons of this type through various means in their daily life, this scattered and unsystematic acquisition of weapons only made them probably realize that the weapons of the civilized races have become stronger.
They have no way of knowing the overall tactical upgrades that will accompany the upgrades of these weapons, nor do they know that with the cooperation of new tactics and new weapons, the legions of civilized races can break out in war several times or even more than the last civilized expedition.
More than ten times more lethal.
After all, compared with those weapons in the past, new weapons now have an unprecedented rate of fire. In other words, the armies of civilized races now have an unprecedented amount of firepower.
Under the attack of those gunpowder weapons in the past, the wilderness races can still rely on their bodies that are much stronger than humans and faster movement speed to take a few rounds of damage and then rush into the human front to fight with them hand-to-hand, and in this way gain the upper hand on the battlefield.
of victory.
But with the passage of time, the gunpowder weapons used by modern civilized race legions have made a qualitative leap compared to those weapons in the past.
Therefore, in this war, the significantly increased firepower successfully isolated the armies of the wilderness races at a distance from the coalition forces of the civilized races.
After large numbers of wilderness race troops rushed into the battlefield, they discovered that they were unable to rush into the lines of the civilized race like they did in the last civilized expedition, and then launch a hand-to-hand battle that would give them an advantage.
Even the wilderness race side suffered greater losses by adopting old-fashioned tactics.
In the last war, due to the lack of firepower density on the human side, the wilderness races summed up the tactic of using high-density formations to quickly break through the firepower range of the civilized races, and then rush into the front line to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
However, among the improved firepower of civilized race weapons, this dense formation is conducive to the lethality of new weapons.
After the ordinary troops can completely resist the ordinary troops of the wilderness race, the extraordinary ones from the civilized race can escape from ordinary battles, and then fully devote themselves to the battle between extraordinary persons and gain an advantage.
For example, during this civilized expedition, the vanguard troops encountered two mature white dragons recruited by the wilderness race to try to block the civilized race's legion.
As a result, because this time the civilized race had more extraordinary beings who could maneuver and fight at any time, these two white dragons were directly wiped out by the extraordinary beings who had prepared in advance.
Naturally, in such a hail of bullets, even the top creatures of the wilderness races such as dark elves or gray dwarves would find it difficult to protect themselves.
According to statistics from various fortresses, even in the place with the least losses, the number of dark elves lost reached half, while in the worst place, only 1/10 of the people survived.
Unlike those goblins or gnolls whose reproductive capabilities are like cockroaches, dark elves are born with a high extraordinary level, but the corresponding is a terrifyingly low fertility.
Even if the dark elves improve their reproductive capacity through a series of morally obsolete methods, due to the inherent low reproductive capacity of high-level transcendent beings, their population growth rate is only higher than that of their light-skinned cousins on the ground. Just two to three percent more.
Therefore, the losses in this war can be said to be heartbreaking for the dark elves. At least within a century or two, the dark elves in this region will not be able to return to their original level.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that as the main god of the dark elves, Rose could not help but make some impulsive actions.
Because as the main god of the race, when her own race is being severely slaughtered, Rose must stand up and face the battlefield and make some counterattacks, no matter how much she likes to play conspiracies.
Otherwise, he will be seen as weak. And once an evil god is seen as weak, then they will face countless challengers who want to take their place.
However, this kind of counterattack must be controlled carefully, because the attacking civilized race has more gods. For Rose, if her counterattack is too weak, it will be regarded as fear or fear. But if the counterattack is too weak If you are strong, you will easily be beaten by a group of gods from the civilized race.
Of course Rose had a way to kill these legions of civilized races that entered the mountains and escape from the hands of the gods of civilized races who were chasing after them. But this would come at a huge price.
The total number of dark elves in this area is a very small part of all the dark elves, and it is obviously not worth paying such a price for them.
As we all know, Rose is an evil god. For evil gods, interests are what they care about most. Beliefs and dogmas are all exchangeable in their eyes.
Therefore, Rose will never recklessly attack the coalition of civilized races in a rage because her people were killed.
So now this kind of attack naturally requires careful target selection. And for Rose, Pine Valley is a very good place.
Because this transfer station is a very important intersection on the offensive route of civilized races. In addition, important institutions such as field hospitals or repair shops are set up here. Once this place is destroyed, it will be enough to reflect Rose's
Strong power and firm attitude on this matter.
At the same time, because there are not many people here, they are not irreplaceable. So overall, the defenders will not be too strong, and the internal defenses can be easily destroyed.
In this case, Rose can destroy this place and evacuate as quickly as possible, instead of spending more time to lift the defenses of those areas and then give the gods of civilized races like the two places at both ends of this mountain road.
Come and create opportunities.
On the other hand, if only Pine Valley was destroyed, the gods of the civilized race would not go all out to pursue him. In that case, Rose would naturally be able to escape unscathed and show her power to other evil gods and the like.
After realizing that their area would become a target for destruction, everyone in Pine Valley immediately moved to prepare for a retreat.
Because for them, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive before the attack, and they will definitely not be able to stop the evil god's attack with their own strength alone.
