Heart of Empire Chapter 520: Too easy
The Sixth Army, which officially started the siege, showed extremely high discipline and quality.
If you really want to talk about the border guards back then, why they were able to get unanimous praise from Wang **, it was purely based on their solid record. Can't help but be unconvinced by others.
However, the equipment is not better than that of the regular army, and the individual qualities of the soldiers trained are not much superior. How can they achieve the same record as the regular army, and sometimes even better?
Just one reason: keep discipline, not afraid of death, dare to work hard.
For these three reasons, of course there is no shortage of regular legions, but, like the Kingdom Guards Legion or the Fourth Legion, where the proportion of units produced by the system in the legion is not large, in these three points Above, what they did was really not as good as Palan's troops.
And when the border guards have completed the regularization, the equipment and treatment have been upgraded, and the combat power will naturally become stronger.
It can be said that Palan's Sixth Army is probably stronger than the King's Guards and Fourth Army in terms of overall strength.
They rushed forward to attack the not-so-tall city wall of Blackwood City. The artillery formation kept firing from behind. The two high-level mages, Apus and Miller, led a squadron of mages, and continued to provide magic support. .
At the same time, in the army formation, there are also two squadron chaplains who are providing medical services for the army.
Of course, it is impossible for the precious divine magic casters to go directly to the front line to fight. Drag it back, and then the priests will use magic to heal.
It may not be realistic for the soldiers who have been healed to return to the battlefield immediately. After all, although the priests have this ability, there are too many soldiers to be treated. It is impossible for them to waste all the precious magic power on individual on the soldiers. Their treatment is usually limited to stabilizing the injury, and there is no danger of life or disability, so the soldiers are free to recover.
This is why Schindler's army, despite suffering a lot of casualties, was able to replenish the lost troops at a fairly fast speed after the war. In addition to the relatively strong ability to mobilize for war, and the ability to quickly recruit, train and replenish the source of troops, these wounded soldiers return to the army after treatment, which is also a very important source of soldiers.
Moreover, the value of these returning veterans is obviously much higher than that of recruits. As long as there is no disability, on the battlefield, one veteran is worth several recruits, and it is definitely not a bragging.
Thus, with much less worries, the Sixth Army launched a rather fierce offensive.
On the defense line of Blackwood City, a large number of soldiers leaned on the city wall and engaged in a very cruel battle with the soldiers of the Sixth Army. Especially those demons with purple lines on their faces and who are obviously stronger than ordinary humans. They are the formidable enemies that the Schindlers have to face.
Under the cover of spells, most of the soldiers of the Sixth Legion who rushed to the top of the city several times were beaten back by these demons.
However, even though Palan's army had experienced one defeat after another during the morning of the 29th, he continued to order the soldiers and launch new offensives again and again.
Finally, before lunch, the Sixth Army captured the city head and gates.
Seeing such a scene, Palan was very excited: This is a very good performance. With the help of the city defense, the rebel army could not withstand the onslaught of the Sixth Army for a long time. If they stopped, then after losing the city defense, it would be even more difficult for them to resist their own attacks in the subsequent battles.
However, while he was excited, he also had some murmurs in his heart.
Conquering the head of Blackwood City, the Sixth Army paid less than a thousand casualties, wiped out more than a thousand enemies, and captured the head of the city at the same time.
The price is much less than he imagined.
Originally, he felt that if the enemy had a dark magician and more than 30 black wizards and warlocks, the number of casualties would be at least three to five times the current number to win the war .
The number of casualties is small, which is of course a good thing. However, this matter cannot be looked at so simply. During the siege, the Schindlers faced significantly less resistance than previously expected. The most concentrated expression is that the enemy's very powerful magic support as expected does not exist at all.
Indeed, during the siege, the Sixth Legion ran into some magic troubles. About a dozen powerful sorcerers used evil methods at the top of the city, causing a certain number of casualties to the legion soldiers. However, when Master Miller led a team of mages and launched a targeted attack on the magicians on the top of the city, this problem was basically solved. When attacking, it still maintains the lethality against ordinary soldiers.
Problem solved, but it was too easy.
Where is the sixteenth-level dark archmage mentioned in Firmino's information? If, in the wave of offensive that just hit the top of the city, the opponent had a sixteenth-level magician, I am afraid that throwing down one or two high-level spells would be enough to knock down the warriors of the Sixth Legion.
In other words, if the local grand masters were present, even if Blackwood City could be conquered in the end, the price the Sixth Army would have to pay would be much higher than it is now. Not only in terms of time, it is estimated that it will be delayed until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even later, and the number of casualties of soldiers is estimated to increase by more than three times.
Then, here comes the question: where is the dark magician called 'Eye of Death'?
It is reasonable to say that ~IndoMTL.com~ this magician should be the most important weapon before they transform a large number of people into demons, right? Why haven't we seen him come out until now?
Palan's first reaction was that there was a conspiracy.
Therefore, under his order, the troops marching into the interior of Blackwood City became more cautious and did not rush forward.
However, until his troops wiped out all the resistance forces in Blackwood City, he did not see the rumored sixteenth-level magician, other spellcasters, and that squadron The dark warrior.
At the same time, his troops searched the whole city, but they did not find Earl Ekla and important members of the Sade family. Only some minor nobles were captured.
