She Is Not a Witch Chapter 366: Falling Steel Wings

When the eastern border of the empire faced rebellion and suppression, the army of the Dryas finally reached the northern border.

Under the Crocodile Tooth Ridge, large stretches of tents are connected together and dotted on the originally barren grassland, making this place full of vigor and vitality.

These tents are distributed in different square barracks, and around the barracks are flying fairy wood flags. There are airships coming and taking off and landing in the sky from time to time, which seems very busy.

In the central camp.

An airship that looks like a giant gray whale stops here, and on the steps of the airship's lower deck, there are people in white robes passing orders and commanding various detachments, just like the heart of this large camp.

Transparent windows separated the cold wind outside from the warm interior, and several high-level committee generals were sitting in a small meeting room to discuss future actions.

"The envoy sent to Duke Raven some time ago has returned." A general sat at the head and told everyone the latest situation.

"Oh, what happened." The others looked at the general.

"Not ideal. We thought Duke Raven would think about it a little bit, even if he bargained with us, but it's a pity that the other party directly refused."

"After the envoy came back, he told us that the negotiations were not realistic anymore, because the Duke of Raven, or the nobles in the northern border, believed that giving up the name of the family, giving up the oath to the empire, giving up the land that the ancestors worked hard to develop, It is simply an insult."

"They take it for granted, and think it is sacred and legal, and this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"Well, it seems that we still have to fight, and how many soldiers have lost their families because of it."

"But if you don't fight, it will only hurt more later."

"Our duty is to liberate the entire empire, and now is the final test."

"Let's start drawing up a battle plan."

"Yes."

In the conference room, several generals and staff officers were constantly analyzing the distribution of the coalition forces in the northern border, moving chess pieces on the simulated map, and telling the route. aware.

The cold wind outside the window is getting stronger and stronger, and there are bursts of fine snowflakes floating in the sky. It is autumn now, and winter will enter in a few months.

The battle officially started half a month later. The scouts in snow suits first went deep into the northern border to investigate various information, while the army entered the cold northern border along the avenues on both sides of Crocodile Tooth Ridge. in the land.

Along the way, the Dryas's army relied on advanced cannons and sufficient supplies to conquer the fortresses and castles along the way, and it was very smooth. It is a little regretful that in the battle of the previous month, they did not encounter the northern border Most of the main force of the coalition forces are fighting against sporadic defenders.

In this way, the scene of triumphant songs continued until November, when the army of the Dryas had penetrated into the land of the northern border, and the scene of the battle changed from the wilderness and hills with a good view to the thick needles of falling snow Leafy forests, steep mountains and valleys.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Although the cold disaster has passed, the severe weather in the northern border still poses a huge obstacle to the march.

Most of the soldiers of the Dryer Wood came from the south and lacked experience in keeping out the cold, and non-combat attrition began to increase along the way. Stay safe from frostbite on cold nights while getting a good night's sleep.

December, the coldest time in the north is slowly coming. Walking on the snow-covered road, the soldiers are walking in the snow with their guns on their shoulders. Most of everything in sight is white, white The ground, the white forest, the white distant mountains, etc., are monotonous and boring, only the sound of stepping on the snow can be heard.

"Boom——"

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the rear, and then the soldiers heard several explosions one after another, followed by the sound of gunfire.

When they received the order and were about to return to support, there was a fierce shout of killing from the front. After two rounds of volleys, a group of strange soldiers rushed down the hillside with their axes high and directly crashed into the In the array.

These warriors were dressed in tattered fur clothes and fought with soldiers holding muskets. Their skilled ax swing skills easily broke through the erected defenses, chopped down the soldiers, and then continued to advance, causing even greater chaos. .0m

"Array, array! Square array!"

The officers shouted loudly, and then the soldiers formed a square formation in the snow-covered valley and solidified.

The battle is still going on, these strange fighters continue to rush towards the lineup, but they are pierced by the hedgehog-like spears outside, and stop, and then the loaded musketeers aim and fire behind the line, these clothes The ragged warriors fell in rows.

When the gunfire on the battlefield gradually subsided, it was already more than an hour later.

"Count the number of people and report the number!"

"Yes, sir." Then there was a clear counting sound in the snow valley.

After this battle, the advancing team lost about 600 people, about one-tenth of the entire team, and the opponent also paid a price of more than 800 people.

Such similar snow ambushes began to occur everywhere in the march, and the logistics of transporting supplies began to be attacked frequently, and many things were lost halfway, which made the army lack of supplies and supplies slower and slower.

"Damn it!"

In the camp, the officer looked at the stretchers covered with white cloths, cursed at first, then fell silent, saluted in front of these sacrificed soldiers, and watched their bodies being carried away for cremation.

The orange flame ignited in the snow, with a little blue smoke, melting the snow on the ground, revealing the green grass, and the trickle of snow water flowing slowly.

The soldiers in the barracks watched the cremation scene, very silent, and their morale dropped a lot.

"We can't continue like this, we have to make changes."

After suffering various ambushes and blows, the Dryas wood army simply stopped in place, no longer blindly attacking, but began to rectify the logistics route, set up guards along the way, and stabilized the previously liberated areas.

They spread new ideas to the locals in the northern border, and started actual construction, laying spacious and through roads, small factories producing daily necessities, building stylish but sturdy and warm houses, etc. Although the effect is slow, but Wins in simplicity and practicality.

At the same time, while gradually getting along with the local residents, the Dryas also gradually became familiar with the daily routines of the northern border.

"It's time to fight back."

In March of the following year, the weather slowly warmed up, the snow began to melt, and the troops who had previously secured their strongholds and camps finally began to attack.

The iron-gray Dragonwing flew roaring across the sky, scouting the terrain and enemy forces below, and kept gathering the movements of the northern coalition forces to the rear until a suitable attack plan was arranged.

The flames of war ignited again. Under the castle of Viscount Bran, led by Han Feng, groups of soldiers braved the artillery fire on the city wall and rushed forward. The roar of the bomb dropped a huge gap in the city wall, and then the soldiers rushed in, and the noble guards inside began to fight fiercely.

Bullets were splashing, and there were sounds of shooting and explosions everywhere. After rushing into the city, some soldiers and the guards started close combat in the alley. The opponent also wielded a heavy giant axe, fighting with these Dryas soldiers.

Hot blood splashed on the cold stone bricks and snow, soldiers shouted and rushed towards each other, each life was shining and dying at this moment.

"This is war, death is inevitable, and it is also a kind of glory."

There were several braziers in the cold hall, and the dark red flames reflected the figure above, coating it with a faint red light.

Duke Raven, wearing a gray-blue fur cloak, sat on the black throne. Standing on both sides below were majestic northern nobles. Most of them wore thick fur coats, and the inside was solid and textured. Fine armor.

At this moment, a woman in her twenties stood in the center of the hall. She was a witch from the northern border, begging Duke Raven to end the current war and avoid causing more casualties.

It's just that the Raven Duke coldly and directly rejected such a plea.

It is a joke to ask him to kneel down and beg for mercy from those young people in the south, to surrender completely, and to accept the conditions of reform.

My ancestors are the people of the Mercury Dynasty. How many tribulations they have gone through, how many races they have defeated, and how many brilliance they have achieved. Hundreds of years ago, they finally walked out of Eternal Darkness Island and gained the right to live on this land again. . But now there is actually someone who wants him to give up his sovereignty, accept the other party's ideas, and transfer the power of life and death to him with just a few words. How is this possible?

Who can predict whether the other party will go back on his word and keep his promise? All these are too unreliable to affect the balance in his heart.

It is true that Dryas is a good organization, but it has not even been established for ten years, and it is not as old as his own son. Now he is trying to persuade himself to surrender, which sounds so ridiculous, like an insult.

"I don't know if this is your personal idea, or it represents the opinions of the witch faction behind you, but I will not agree to such a proposal."

After venting the anger in his heart, the Duke's tone softened a little. After all, the witch in front of him has also made a lot of contributions to the northern border, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to stand here.

"Let's step down, let's not talk about this sooner."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." The witch sighed, knowing that she could not change the king's mind, so she could only leave silently.

After the witch walked out of the hall, Duke Raven closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then opened his eyes.

"The wizards in the tower in the north, what's your reply now?" He asked the recording officer beside him.

"This is the answer from the chief wizard."

'Although necromancy is powerful, its cruel nature is no longer easily accepted by the world. If adults want to use it, even if they win, they will face blows from all sides in the future. The Church of Angels, the elves, and even The country of mages in the southern archipelago will go to war with us. ’

"Heh, I've heard it many years ago."

Although the words of the chief wizard were not deceitful, Duke Raven still felt depressed. He clearly had such a weapon in his hand, but he had no choice but to put it aside and quietly wait for the failure to end.

The reason why the northern nobles, who are survivors of the Mercury Dynasty, do not see the army of undead all over the mountains and plains after the war is due to the restrictions imposed by all parties on the secret arts of the past.

Although the Mercury Dynasty was brilliant, its historical background was also extremely cruel. Many of the necromancer secrets were used to challenge today's ethics and stimulate the nerves of the public, so it was difficult to be accepted and recognized.

The same is true. It is Duke Raven, who is a necromancer knight, who becomes the head of the northern nobles, not other families of necromancers.

Even if the Necromantic Sequence can still be researched and slowly developed in the northern border, its use and performance has been restricted by all parties and cannot be used easily, unless, unless it is the end of the chaos and disaster, when there is no hope.

"In this case, we can only try our best."

After a long time, the Raven Duke opened his tired eyes, and slowly scanned the various lords present before standing up.

"Mobilize the army and start the battle."

"Yes, my lord."

After seeing the leader of the northern border issue an order, the lords present took orders respectively, and then walked out of the hall.

Cavalrymen and messengers came out from the Raven Moon City, which was located on a huge hill. They would spread the will of the Duke of Raven and the Trey family to the whole north.

One month later.

Black and icy steel armors are lined up on the snow field, and rows of well-trained knights are lined up in an extremely neat formation, advancing slowly,

They held the flag of the gray raven high in their hands, and the skeleton birds hovered in the sky, looking down at the hundreds of black phalanxes below.

This tundra wasteland was carefully selected by the Trey family. It was suitable for the northern cavalry to play. Moreover, the ground was frozen, which was also beneficial for the witches to cast spells.

The ancient and desolate horn blew slowly, and these northern knights who followed the ancient tradition and will moved forward slowly, and then gradually accelerated.

There was a rapid and heavy vibration on the ground, and the soldiers of the Dryas stared at the hazy fog, clenched the shields in their hands, and swallowed nervously.

Soon, a group of knights in silver armor, black cloaks and overalls appeared in the field of vision, and at this time they were only fifty meters away from the front of the formation.

The intensive musket shooting only knocked down the few knights in the front row, while the remaining knights continued to move forward. Even if bullets grazed the armor, only a few sparks were left.

As the elite army directly under the Trey family, the Raven Knights once again showed their ruthless will and fighting power after hundreds of years of silence. The dark armor not only invalidated many spells, even physical attacks , and it is difficult to leave traces.

The cold and dead magic power entangled on the weapons. When these raven knights rushed into the line of the Dryas, every time they swung, they would take away several lives.

Facing these oncoming 'death gods', even if the soldiers in the front line wanted to fight back, they were trapped by a burst of ice cold, became slow and stagnant, and were easily beheaded by the opponent.

"Back! Let the Golem Legion step forward to resist!"

The soldiers in the front row of the Dryas continued to retreat, and the tall steel golems behind them also stepped forward slowly, standing in front of them. The armor on both sides of their arms was turned forward, and then they were put down heavily, connecting them into one piece. Like a steel city wall, it is extremely solid.

Then, the cover on the head of the golem opened, revealing the cold and rotating gun barrel behind it, and the enchanted gold bullets shot out in the cold wind, leaving dense and blazing afterimages of fire in the air .

The dense clanging sound resounded on the raven knights. After a burst of bullets knocked and trembled, the dark knights who had defeated the mages of Oz finally shattered their armor, flew up like broken dolls, and rolled to the ground .

In the sky, necromancers rode skeleton birds, flew over the front line of the army formation, and swooped down. Commanding, piercing the golem's layers of armor, killing the mage and driver inside, turning it into a stone-like cold dead thing, and then moving on, constantly destroying and disrupting the front line of the Dryas.

A dense sound of bows and crossbows resounded from the ice mist, and then a rain of pitch-black arrows fell on the Younger Wood's army formation, taking away a large number of lives.

After the large-scale installation of muskets, shields have gradually become dispensable, and are no longer standard equipment for every soldier, and arrows falling from the sky have become extremely dangerous.

"Spread out!" Looking at the scene in front of them, the Master Chiefs shouted loudly, then raised the butts of their guns and kept waving them, trying to block and resist some of the arrows as much as possible.

"Kill!"

The sound of shouting came from the ice fog, and the northern coalition forces rushing to the front line waved their weapons, quickly cleaned up the remaining soldiers on the battlefield, pushed down the silent golems, and then moved towards the rear of the front line layer by layer advance.

The situation began to turn upside down. Seeing that the line of the Dryas was about to be pierced, facing a huge defeat and disintegration, a gust of flame rose up and blew towards the oncoming enemy troops. For a while, the fog dissipated and the cold disappeared. , the air became hot and humid and dull.

"Fire, fire!"

After the observers in the rear gained their vision, the commanders ordered successively that the cannons lowered their angles and fired continuously, and exploded among the coalition forces in the northern border.

The front line began to be restructured, and the roar of the propellers of the dragon wing aircraft came from the distant sky behind. Like a fire dragon, it changes the situation on the battlefield.

Facing the fierce and roaring war machine~IndoMTL.com~Duke Raven swung the sword in his hand with a cold face, and special 'envoys' in black robes turned transparent and flew towards the sky .

Shortly after, the dragon wing planes in the sky began to fall one after another, the fuselage broke, and flames and thick smoke billowed, piercing the sky with an ever-increasing roar and hitting the ground.

During the explosion and roar, these Dragonwings disintegrated on impact, and then bounced up slightly, sliding forward with flames and black smoke, making the sound of steel twisting, the propellers were still turning, bringing Countless dirt and debris, until the end, barely stopped.

The cold frozen land is full of thick smoke and flames, and the sound of screaming and fighting is everywhere, and every life remains on this land forever.
