MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 712 : first half (1)
Three days passed in a flash, and the magic union arrived at the Imperial Army camp with one carriage after another.
After holding a simple welcome banquet, Ivy couldn't wait to convene a meeting of the legion commanders: "In order to defend the majesty of the empire, His Royal Highness asked us to win this battlefield as soon as possible, but now our army and the Silver Moon Kingdom have been at odds for a month. , It’s hard to make progress, I wonder if you have any good strategies?”
Since the Silver Moon Kingdom broke away from the Holy Alliance, they have spent half a year gathering their troops. Now the hundreds of thousands of troops are helpless against the Yelin River defense line, and there are faint signs of turning into a protracted war.
In the face of a small country like the Silver Moon Kingdom, achieving such a record will inevitably make the human countries despise the empire, which will cause more problems.
Therefore, they must make a quick decision!
The high-ranking military officers attending the meeting all looked at the head of the mage union who had just arrived.
Anyway, they are incapable of dealing with the alchemy weapons of the Silvermoon Kingdom. They can only hope that the mage guild, which has been at odds with the alchemy guild all year round, can offset the alchemy technology of the Silvermoon Kingdom.
The person in charge of the mage union smiled disapprovingly: "Alchemy, hehe, will not be on the table after all, and only half-witted mages who are not talented enough in magic will delve into this technology.
The members of our mage union are all talented mages with extraordinary talents. Magic technology is the future of this world! "
Ivey didn't want to listen to these nonsense at all: "Then I would like to ask Master Maz, can you solve the technical gap between our army and the Silver Moon Kingdom?"
Although representing the orthodox Mage Union, it has been suppressing the Alchemy Union, but the debate between the Mage Union and the Alchemy Union has been going on for thousands of years. Since the Alchemy Union has not died out, it means that alchemy does have merits, at least in In this war, the alchemy weapons of Silvermoon Kingdom were very eye-catching.
Feeling a little offended, Maz looked a little upset, but he didn't dare to confront the imperial officials directly, so he nodded and said: "Our mage union has improved the magic array, which can perform super long-distance spell strikes, and the casting distance has broken through. Fifteen kilometers away, it should be able to suppress the alchemy weapons of the Silver Moon Kingdom, but the manpower I brought here is not enough this time, and I need the assistance of the Imperial Mages."
Ai Wei suddenly became interested: "There is such a magical technology, the empire doesn't know at all... Ah, this is no problem, please Master Maz to build a new base array as soon as possible, and everyone here Keep it a secret first, we'd better find out the silver moon kingdom's artillery positions, and then use magic strikes to destroy them in one fell swoop!"
The high-level officials who participated in the meeting stood up and toasted together: "For the glory of the empire!"
…
Nearly half a month after the truce, the empire launched an attack again. Seeing waves of conscripted militiamen coming to die, Gratton always felt a little uneasy, so he turned to look at Mikkel: "Did you feel a sense of urgency in these rounds of attacks?" Weird atmosphere?"
Mikil, who served as the staff officer of the general headquarters, pinched his chin: "Indeed, with the previous lessons, the new rounds of attacks launched by the empire seem to be just here to die. I heard that the commander of the opponent is still a newcomer to the empire. Famous general, you shouldn't be so stupid, right?"
Graton squinted his eyes and looked around. There was endless sound of machine guns on the battlefield, and the enemy soldiers fell one after another as if they were being executed. It seemed that there was nothing unusual.
But the cry of an eagle still caught his attention, and Mikil followed his gaze and found that it was the empire's griffin group hovering over the battlefield.
Under the attack of the anti-aircraft machine gun, the Griffin Knight could not dive at low altitude at all, and could only circle and circle at high altitude, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Gratton said thoughtfully: "The Griffin Group of the Empire seems to be dispatched quite frequently."
Mikil smiled: "After all, this is the only dominant arm of the empire."
Griffin knights and battle mages are difficult to train, and the input and output are not proportional. Therefore, after Simon took office, he did not start to restore these two arms. Instead, he transferred most of the griffin knights to the navy and let the mages switch to alchemy. system, most of them now serve in the arsenal
Therefore, the Griffin Group and the Mage Group of the Silver Moon Kingdom are still half dead.
In this war, the empire did have an absolute advantage in aerial reconnaissance and magic support.
Gratton thought for a while: "The artillery unit currently on the battlefield should only be the First Artillery Regiment?"
Mikil was stunned: "Indeed, according to your order, the second and third artillery regiments are all on standby. You suspect..."
Graton was silent and didn't answer, just watched silently, hundreds of magic light clusters slid from the sky, and flew towards the artillery position that had just completed a round of shelling: "It's so beautiful!"
Mikil also fell silent looking at the magic light group emitting dazzling light: "It's really beautiful!"
boom! While the two were sighing, the magic light group arrived at the station of the First Artillery Regiment.
Fiery white light flashed, and the resident instantly turned into a sea of flames, and the ground even turned into magma due to the high temperature. No one could survive this level of attack.
Graton didn't change his face, and took a sip of the freshly brewed black tea: "Let the second and third artillery regiments continue to stand by, spread the news in the army, saying that our artillery units have been completely wiped out, and organize a secret reconnaissance unit to monitor the empire. Where did the army set up the magic position?"
Mikil frowned: "It's enough to spread the news to the outside world, why spread rumors in the army? This will seriously shake the morale of the army!"
Graton shook his head: "If you can't even fool your own people, how can you fool the enemy? Besides, the soldiers of the new legion are not as fragile as you think!"
…
"Why did you stop and continue to cast spell strikes?" Looking at the spell formation that stopped after only one round of firing, Ivy frowned dissatisfied.
Although the opponent's artillery position was destroyed, the silver moon kingdom's rifles, machine guns and other alchemy weapons can still quickly harvest the lives of their soldiers, and they must all be resolved.
Facing Ivey's questioning, Maz smiled disapprovingly: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, every time this new base array performs a spell attack, it needs to consume a lot of spell-casting materials. The one just now is our sincerity. If you want to continue, the empire will have to bear the cost."
Ivy frowned: "Just tell me, how many gold coins are needed for a spell strike!"
The smile on Mazi's face became even happier: "Probably... 20,000 gold coins!"
"What the hell!" Hearing this offer~www.novelbuddy.com~ Ivey almost scolded her, twenty thousand gold coins? It's better to grab the mage union directly!
Ivy gritted his teeth: "Can't it be cheaper?"
Although since the start of the war, most of the consumption has been conscripted militias, but this kind of cannon fodder is not unlimited, and more than half of them have been killed or injured these days.
If he continues to fight, he must use real soldiers to consume the ammunition reserves of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
As a qualified imperial commander, it is okay for the soldiers who have just been transferred from farmers to die, but it is difficult for him to accept the real standing soldiers.
Maz pinched his nails leisurely: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, the Mage Guild is not a charity organization after all. If you can't get the money out, you can only use the lives of soldiers to fill the alchemy weapons of the Silver Moon Kingdom."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Riley, the spell advisor, quickly smoothed things over: "Master Maz, you also know the situation of the empire. It is impossible to spend too much money in a local war, so is there any way to save money and save money?" A method that can counteract the alchemy weapons of the Silver Moon Kingdom."
Maz glanced at the gloomy Ivy, and felt that it was not easy to offend the imperial officials to death, so he thought for a moment and said: "You can fine-tune the new base array, transforming a one-time spell attack into a continuous spell control. The mage group can rely on the new base array to remotely control the elemental puppets to participate in the battle.
Although the cost of activating the base formation remains the same each time, the combat time is greatly extended, and the idle mage group can also play a role. What do you think? "
Ivy's face eased a bit: "That's it, I will apply for funds from His Royal Highness the Regent, and pay directly to the headquarters of the Masters' Union!"
