Chapter 982： "The initiative"

When the order was formally issued, Jinna found that all her nervousness and anxiety had disappeared, and the soldier's instinct gradually became the master. She took a light breath and conveyed the order to the entire Dragon Cavalry Squadron, her hands I also held the joystick in front calmly, feeling the power and coldness conveyed by this steel machine, and my heart was calm.

One after another anti-gravity aircraft shaped like an inverted cone quickly traversed an elegant arc between the clouds, deviated from the previous cruise trajectory, and swept towards the shining battlefield on the earth.

After the wind direction and wind speed are calculated, the height and speed are within the expected value, and the angle and distance of the bomb have been confirmed several times. The bomber put his finger over a rune trigger in the center of the console and silently counted.

"The entire crew lifted the bomb insurance-release the safety lock-drop bombs!"

...

The Cecil's nocturnal offensive showed no signs of stopping, and deafening gunfire exploded across the walls of the city. This is a severe test that the fortress has never experienced since the establishment of the Winter Wolf Castle, and even a scene of war that has not been experienced since the establishment of the Tifeng. Even the heroic imperial soldiers and proud combat mages I was shocked by the majestic attack-but in any case, the line of defense was stabilized. The solid shield and wall of Winterwolf stood the test. At least for a short time, the Cecil "Skyfire" could not get in. .

Palin Dongbao observed the magic flow on the surface of the empty shield on the west side of the wall, slightly relieved: "The magic circle has been stabilized again... It seems that the magic focus is supported."

"But sticking to it is not the way," said Andesa, "Count Count Winterburg, remember what we just talked about, we must find a way to break the situation and regain control..."

Suddenly she stopped just halfway through her words. A faint buzzing sound that was almost indistinguishable in the background of the artillery fire caught her attention. She looked up and looked faint. The heavy night sky has a strange face.

Palin Winterburgh did not respond for a while: "Andesa, what's wrong?"

"Count Winterhold, have you heard... what happened in the sky?"

Earl Wintercastle froze for a moment, then looked up, and finally, his eyes caught shadows between the accumulated clouds and the dim starlight that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

Those shadows passed high above, and even the legendary strongman here might have a hard time perceiving whether they have a magical flavor or maliciousness. However, there was still a huge sense of crisis in the heart of the Earl of Winterhold. At that moment, he felt himself Her breathing was intermittent, and the next second, the powerful mage waved out the summoning rune and roared with the loudest voice: "Strike from high altitude!!!"

"Reset the flow of magic power-the enemy is coming from the air!" "All the wizards of the one to six echelons adjusted the resonance direction and prepared to intercept the air attack!" "It's too late!"

The order was issued in the first time. All the soldiers and battle mage began to respond to the command from the commander as quickly as possible, but no matter how fast they responded, everything was too late-the whole fortress Almost all the defensive forces and personnel energy are firmly held by the offensive of the Cecil ground forces, not to mention that the commanders at all levels do not even have the concept of "fatal attacks will come from high altitude". In this "battlefield" concept Still mainly concentrated in the age of the surface, all this has become the deadliest missing link of Winter Wolf Castle...

The bomb fell.

Andesa's eyes were wide, she looked up at the sky and saw that the stacked clouds were about to block all the starlight, and she saw that there were shimmers between those shadows, and then the bright flashes flicked away from them, Falling down like a meteor.

A far more terrible explosion than the magic cannon bombardment burst over the Wolfwolf.

The blazing huge firelight blooms like a firework, and a shock wave visible to the naked eye is blasted on the surface of the shield. A circle of ripples continues to spread in the night sky. The ripples are connected into pieces, and then quickly covered by the pale clutter. The entire winter wolf The Fort Shield was violently shaken, and the deafening roar echoed inside the shield, as if an invisible big bell sounded, and in this terrible roar, the Earl of Winterburg heard a more terrible sound ——

He heard howling sounds coming from all directions, which was a sign that the shield was on the verge of reaching its limits.

Immediately afterwards, more bombs began to fall from high altitude, covering the entire shield from south to north like a carpet. The shield nodes everywhere in the Winter Wolf Fort burst one after another, and many buildings in the city were chaotic due to magic. The fire was burning, and the blazing flames illuminated the high walls and towers, and under the fire, Andesa saw that the shield above his head was quickly disappearing.

An aerial bomb finally penetrated the thin shield of Winterwolf. It fell like a meteorite and fell between the outer city and the inner city. The blazing fire hurt Andesa's eyes, and she felt a blast in her ear. Suddenly, terrible heat hit her from the left. She didn't even have time to feel the pain, and she only saw darkness.

...

"After the full bomb is dropped, make sure that the target shield has been extinguished." "Visually confirm that the barracks area and the arsenal have been destroyed..." "The core castle area is still intact...the shield still exists."

Jinna looked through the observation window at the winter wolf fort that had fallen into flames, and the results after the air attack were gathering in front of her one by one.

The Winter Wolf Shield was destroyed as planned, but the castle area, which is the core of the fortress, seems to have survived the bombing-this sturdy fortress deserves its prestige, it obviously has two independent The shield system, even if the outer city and the large shield are all destroyed, the fortress still seems to be able to resist the core castle.

But Jin Na did not regret it-all of this was in the judgement of the staff. An air raid could not completely destroy the stronghold of the Tifeng. Today's heavy damage is already in line with expectations.

With the loss of a large shield and half of the city’s defense facilities, plus the massive blow to morale and casualties, it was only a matter of time before the fortress was taken down—and in a very short time.

"Return, reload," Jinna gave the order. "Perhaps we will do it again tonight."

...

The roaring, hot, **** breath, the feeling of constant imbalance and falling... Andersa felt that she seemed to be wrapped in an invisible storm in a dark abyss and was suddenly up and down. For a while, she even felt that she was completely She lost her sense of body, but in the last strong sense of weightlessness, she suddenly returned to this world.

The pain that seemed to break apart in the body was violently turbulent in all the nerves. She felt that she was lying in a soft place, but her body was soaked in the cold, and her mind was roaring like thunder. She could almost hear someone around The sound of speech, but a louder noise buzzed in her ears, making her hard to hear anything at all.

A fierce irritability rushed up, and she wanted to dispel the noise in exasperation, and did not know whether this anger had worked-she heard the noise in her ears really attenuated, and at the same time vaguely saw There was a ray of light in front of me.

"The general is awake! The general is awake!" "Water, come with water!" "Go and inform the Earl of Winterhold!"

Some soldiers shouted excitedly from the side, and it sounded more than one.

Andersa struggled to open her eyelids (she never thought that her eyelids were such a heavy thing), and after several efforts, she turned the faint, chaotic light in front of her into a rickety scene— The left eye seemed to be covered with something, only the right eye barely opened a little, and through this vague sight, she saw a few familiar figures standing beside her, and above it seemed to be a room in the castle Ceiling.

"General," a familiar voice came from the side, "How are you feeling? Can you hear me?"

Andesa barely turned her gaze, and she saw her adjutant standing nearby.

Her gaze stayed on the lieutenant for a long time, and it was not until ten seconds or so after she withdrew her gaze with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice that surprised herself: "How long have I been comatose?"

The throat is like a fire, but after a careful perception, there seems to be no fatal visceral bleeding and tearing of the trachea. This is unfortunately a lucky one-unfortunately, it is difficult to do a more careful perception. You can only determine your physical condition. It must be bad.

"You've only been in a coma for half an hour..." said the adjutant. "The large dose of alchemy potions and healing spells worked..."

"Half an hour...I thought a century had passed," Andes pouted, "Tell me about the damage."

The adjutant hesitated for a second or two before whispering: "Fortress shields were completely destroyed and permanently extinguished. The inner and outer urban areas were severely damaged. There were fires everywhere. We lost the barracks and the arsenal. Those magic weapons When it fell, it happened to pass through the shield and hit the place where the twenty-two regiment was stationed.

Andersa took a slight breath, and she was difficult to distinguish the sounds in all directions in the roaring noise around her ears. After two seconds of silence, she whispered, "What is the situation now?"

"...Pallin Winterberg commanded the actionable people to withdraw to the castle area. The outer city was no longer able to hold it, and he ordered us to continue to resist in the castle area and the inner city. The Black Flag Magician Group collapsed before evacuating The wall that had been severely damaged and a fire ignited in the outer city. The ruins and the fire delayed the Cecil’s offensive..."

"I did hear the voices outside," Andesa said slowly. "Wait... so to say, they have already entered?"

"...Our fighters are fighting against them in the ruins and streets of the inner city. We were very damaged, but no one flinched."

At this moment, Anderssa heard some commotion from nearby, and some soldiers were whispering: "The Count of Winterhold is here!"

She saw Palin Dongbao's figure appearing in the corner of her field of vision. The familiar elder was bending down towards herself, as if observing her injury. She saw a heavy to almost sad look on the other's face.

"Okay," Andesa said to the adjutant and other soldiers and officers around him. "You first step back and continue to command the battle. I want to talk to the Earl of Winterhold."

"General, your body..."

"This is an order."

"Yes, general."

The adjutant and the soldiers left, and only the Earl of Winterhold remained in the sight of Andersa. She twitched her lips: "It seems that the situation is too bad to be worse..."

"It's really terrible, we failed, Andersa," said Shen Sheng, Earl of Winterhold. "The Cecilians will soon be completely occupied here-they somehow did not use that terrible aerial attack again, maybe If you want to occupy a more complete forward base... this will extend the time of our resistance, but it will not be too long."

After this, there was a long silence, even until Palin Wintercastle began to doubt whether Andersa had been comatose again, but in the end Andersa still said: "Count Winterburg, you think the soldier’s What are the responsibilities?"

Palin Dongbao didn't answer Andersa's question. He just stared at the girl who had grown up almost by himself. After watching it for a moment, he asked: "Anderssa, what do you want to do? "

Andersa tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the count of Count Winterhold: "I still have the last "initiative "..."

Then she said what she wanted to do.

Palin Dongbao’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he heard, and he couldn’t believe it was a decision that Andesa would make. Then he reminded him in a low voice: “This will make you Loss of honor-no matter what the truth is, you will not have a glorious record in the future history books. Andersa, you are not an ordinary commander, you are a "wolf general", you should know the meaning of this title and its behind Constraints..."

"Times have changed, Uncle Palin," Andesa seemed to smile, and she shook her head gently, "The old rules...after all, they can't keep up with the changes of the times."

"...Even if this will make you glorious?" Palin Dongbao frowned, "I can order for you, after all, you are not capable now..."

"I have decided."

"...I get it," Palin Wintercastle took a deep look at Andersa, and then nodded with a serious expression, but then he asked again, "You don't think it will be polluted by those who do this. Do the soldiers and officers interfere?"

"I already guessed what the gods want," Andesa said quietly. "He wants war, he only wants war-and surrender is also part of the war.

"Just let me be the first ‘general wolf’ to raise his flag before the castle is defeated in Tifeng’s history. I’m ready.”

"...OK, I'll prepare."

The Count of Winterhold left.

Andes lay quietly on the **** mottled bed, her left eye still could not be opened, and in the other eye that was barely opened, she seemed to see some memories of the past and saw many years ago Something that happened that has faded in her memory, she remembered that she first followed her father to "visit" the fortress when she was very young, and remembered that she was ignorantly listening to her father telling herself about those families The story of the ancestors, read the oaths carved under the head of the wolf, her lips gently twitched, as if still following the father to read those sentences--

"...I swear by the family, swear by honor, I will guard this fortress, even to the end of life... Even if the blood bleeds... Powder and bones... The flag of the winter wolf will never fall..."

She shook her head.

She doesn't want honor.

She wants her motherland to be safe--

The kingdom that the ancestors built up through the thorns should not be overwhelmed by this inexplicable disaster.
