Release that Witch Chapter 1158: Failure
The celebration lasted only a little while, and the position was busy again. .
Treatment of the wounded, statistical results, advancing railways, cleaning the battlefield ... these are all urgent matters.
The command is very clear that the victory of this battle does not equal the end of Operation Torch. Although judged by the remaining strength of Devil, they are unlikely to launch another attack of this scale. Winning Taqila is almost a foregone conclusion, but no At the last step, no one dares to take it lightly. What's more, Magic Chopper is still alive. If this threat can not be completely eliminated, it cannot be regarded as a perfect goal.
Humans are indeed worth celebrating, but that's when the Greycastle flag is inserted at the highest point of ruins and returns to Neverwinter City smoothly.
After some discussion, the high level of the United Front reached a consensus. After removing the Devil eliminated by this battle, the number of enemies in the ruins of Holy City should be less than five hundred. Judging from the strength comparison alone, this means that the other party has no positive threat to the ability of First Army.
Compared to the previous steady progress, the consideration now should be to prevent Magic Chopper from escaping T10 station, which can slow down the construction, so as not to prematurely lose the opponent's war. At the same time, the ambush should be launched as soon as possible. Even without the detection of Silvie, the position of First Army is unlikely to be attacked today.
In order to avoid night long dreams, after a day of rest, First Army launched shelling again at Devil, but this time, they became the offensive party.
Facing the shouting shells, the only thing the other party can do is to retreat step by step, giving up the trenches a little bit, and returning them all to the ruins of Taqila.
Only Magic Chopper can threaten the line of defense during the period. However, as a key target, it is difficult to get close to the position, let alone prevent First Army from advancing.
With repeated inactions, the number of times it is deployed is getting lower and lower.
On the fourth day after the war, the railroad track finally reached a ten-kilometer shooting circle.
After setting up the cannon position, more than a hundred people, including Agatha and Felice, were invited by Iron Axe to the lined-up stronghold cannon.
Because the number of cannon is far from enough, the Van'er, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, has specially prepared more than a dozen hemp ropes and tied them with fumes. In this way, they can "simultaneously" fire the first shot aimed at the Taqila city.
Born from Taqila's awakened, Purified Taqila's Avengers ... and builder of the new Holy City in the future, each God Punishment Witches realizes that this will be a moment of historical commemorative significance. Whether or not they can live after War of Divine Will, this scene today will be remembered by history books.
"I have to apologize to you." Felice held the rope and whispered to Agatha. "Four hundred years ago, I mocked your practice of using mortals behind your back, saying that you gave them the important job at hand, Will make the result a mess. "
"A lot of people did say that at the time," ice witch smiled, "What about now?"
"Well now ..." Felice cocked his lips, "It doesn't hurt to fight alongside mortals."
"Ready" At this moment, Van'er raised his command flag, "Fire!"
The crowd pulled the fuse back together, and the rumble roar immediately echoed more than ten artillery shells flying over the position, swept across the plain, and scrambled to fall into Holy City ruins.
A violent shock wave spread away with an explosion, sweeping the remains of this ancient city left over 400 years ago, torn apart by air waves and stone debris, and the Devil hiding in it.
...
"Get started." Silvie whispered.
"Yeah." Andrea responded indifferently. Even if Taqila's situation was not seen, one or two of the tremor and the roar of the firing can be heard from the dull explosion, even if it is 7-8 kilometers apart. Can feel the power in it.
It's really hard to imagine what kind of experience would be in the mind of Devil who was bombarded by stronghold guns all night.
"This is the fifth day?" Maggie muttered, "Will Magic Chopper come over today?"
"Who knows." Ash shrugged.
"I want to go back to Neverwinter for hot pot and fried dumplings."
"Guru."
Her voice had not yet settled, and there was a sound of peristalsis in her stomach.
"Of course the teppanyaki meat is also good, it would be better if we can get another ice cream bread."
Ash stuffed a piece of dry food into the mouth of the Maggie. "If you feel hungry, eat more of this. Although the taste is not good, it can at least fill your belly."
"Don't forget, we are still on mission," added Camila Daryl, "you can go back and think about something delicious. Now please concentrate and fulfill your duties seriously."
This guy is still so serious, his throat is moving just now. Andrea shook his head secretly and turned his attention back to Taqila.
When First Army was transferred from defensive to offensive, the special operations team also left camp according to a predetermined plan, bypassing the Taqila ruins, and lurking in a wood on the west side of the supply line. Unable to determine the intent and timing of Magic Chopper retreat, they can only wait patiently here, waiting for the opportunity to come.
Although it is not difficult for the witch to survive in the wild, considering that there is still Dread Beast in the air, let alone the fire roasting game, not even a tent sheltering from the sun and rain. Every night everyone sleeps on a tree wrapped in a thick cloth, and when hungry, he licks two pieces of wheat cake, naturally he won't be comfortable.
Honestly, when I heard Maggie's words just now, she suddenly burst into a strong miss for Neverwinter. When she first moved from Sleeping Island to Neverwinter City with Tilly, she thought it was just a new foothold. The so-called "witch home" was just a boast of the ruler. If Tilly decides to leave someday, she will not hesitate Follow along. But in the face of this problem, Andrea is not so sure ...
Large soft bed, delicious variety, hot and cold water flowing automatically, heater that can barefoot in winter, even if she was a member of Quinn noble, she has not enjoyed such a comfortable life. That is not the luxury piled up by gold royal, but it is full of elegance and chic from beginning to end. When she thinks of saying goodbye to these, she finds it really difficult for her to make a choice.
Fortunately, Tilly and Roland get along well, so she doesn't have to worry about where to go for the time being.
When Magic Chopper is resolved, be sure to ask Your Majesty Roland to take care of yourself, Andrea thought.
The ideal result is that the target stayed Taqila and was bombed by cannon. Secondly, they did not notice the existence of the ambush team when they ran away. They were killed by God Punishment Bullet in the air. The last time was that the other party had already realized that they had The ability to accurately block long distances, using grounded flight and constantly changing direction to avoid it, can only be blocked by The Seagull.
However, she didn't have much confidence in the first two situations. In the night battle five days ago, Magic Chopper once approached from the Taqila to the sky, but it kept moving irregularly throughout the whole process, never letting her find Get takes action chance. Is this a coincidence, or is it deliberately guarding itself?
"Oh oh oh oh oh"
Suddenly, a weird weird passed into everyone's ears.
"What happened?" Ash asked.
"A shell hit the giant skeleton!" Silvie exclaimed, "It was blasted with a big hole in the back, oh my god, that thing ... howling!"
"Is it still able to feel pain? Just looking at the appearance, I thought it was just a dead object with a shelf."
"red mist is being sprayed from the place where it was hit, like ... blood." Silvie looked dignifiedly to the southeast, "Magic Chopper was also dispatched, it was rushing towards our position."
"I hope someone can kill it with a single shot." Andrea handed out.
"Wait ... no, Magic Chopper flew back halfway and returned!" Silvie frowned after observing for a moment, "What's going on? The skeleton seems to be retreating back! There are Devil trying to stop the skeleton, but was Stepped into the ruins of the meat sauce, they are in a mess, they are ... "
After a while, she said in uncertain tone, "Devil is killing each other?"
Andrea and Ash looked at each other. No matter from which point of view, this was a sign of defeat. Did the enemy finally lose the pressure and completely lose the will to fight?
Soon Silvie's words confirmed this idea.
"Magic Chopper escaped from Taqila!"
