Chapter 561 The seventh lunar eclipse war (3)
Updated: 2012-11-15
On May 14, 1034, at 3 a.m., the last fortress at the City of Bacon was removed, marking the fall of the Crow's Principality of Westeria. The organized military resistance in the area has been basically lost. At this time, all races, countries and religious organizations on the mainland have not yet awakened from the panic of the lunar eclipse. The grand duke of the Principality of the Crow's Principality has not even received any information. He was very distressed because his favorite mistress disappeared...
On May 14, 1034, at 3:40 am, the news of the demon invasion was finally confirmed by the information revealed by a large number of reborn players. The Grand Duke of the Crow's Principality began to mobilize the army in panic, but it would take at least two full weeks to mobilize the troops stationed on the border to various places!
On May 14, 1034, at 7 o'clock in the morning, a large number of refugees began to pour into the provinces around Westeria. The news of the demon invasion began to spread wildly, and panic spread. The residents of rural and towns began to flock to cities and fortresses. The lords also organized troops anxiously. The cities declared martial law one by one, and at the same time, many lurking spies also began to send intelligence to their own forces.
On May 14, 1034, at 12 o'clock in the morning, the province of Noxar, located in the southern part of Westeria, was attacked by a small group of demonic troops, and a large number of outposts and villages were destroyed. Before the lords could react, the three legions of demon troops launched a rapid offensive. They took the barbarian demons equipped with magic armor as the main force. Under the cover of a large number of air forces and airships, they quickly broke through the temporary fortifications and fortresses. In just one hour, the forefront troops broke through 30-50 kilometers.
On May 14, 1034, at 15 noon, Airley, the main city of the Norxar Province, fell, and the border of the province is only three days away from the Crowding City, the capital of the Crow Principality!
On May 14, 1034, at 17:00 p.m., Pope Pius IX, then the Church of Light, delivered a speech in the Hall of Mirrors, and took the lead in informing the invasion of the demons, and called on the human world to unite with the Asan tribes to face this crisis together. At the same time, the church began to issue mobilization orders to various secluded monasteries and knights, and the Altar of the Angels also began to enter the start step.
On May 14, 1034, at 19 o'clock in the evening, Ayorland, Greenham, Sesne, Heavenly Father's Court, and Heine City issued statements one after another, confirming the news of the invasion of the demons. Each race began to mobilize, put aside conflicts and wars, and calls for forming a coalition of tribes began to appear. However, since the scale of the demons has not been completely confirmed, this call still belongs to a minority.
On May 15, 1034, at 9:00 a.m., while the demon assault cluster rushed towards Crowding City, the provinces of Sipool and Kaves in the north of the Crow Principality fell one after another, and the Natrick province in the west. The demon army showed different speeds and tactics. They often used air forces to launch air strikes at key locations such as fortresses, barracks and arsenals before the ground forces attacked, and also took special care of areas with air equipment and troops. Many airships and griffin knights in the Principality of the Crow Principality were devastating before they took off.
When the air strike is over, the squad of the rushing team wearing strong magic armor will rush to the already confirmed breakthrough point. Their power is terrifying and their speed is amazing. Moreover, the magic armor on them is extremely exquisite, enough to resist the direct shooting of the crossbow from the middle distance! The fortress is like a paper mustache in front of them, and the barely organized resistance is easily shattered by them. Moreover, they have the domesticated hellhounds around them, which is almost invincible heavy tanks.
After the barbarian demon rushes into the squad and crushes the enemy's fortifications and resistance, the subsequent troops will immediately follow up, continuously expand the assault surface, tearing the enemy's defense line. Once you encounter a more tenacious resistance, the demons will immediately use another very advanced tactic - calling for air force support.
On May 15, 1034, at 16:00 pm, Zda Province, adjacent to the Crowding City, was in a hurry. The demon army was almost sleepless and raiding wildly. Along the way, he didn't even want to capture the other party's weapons, and then released them. Even a barbarian demon commander shouted loudly at the lost lords: Don't block the way!
Everyone saw that the demon only had the Crowding City in his eyes, and they were focused!
On May 15, 1034, at 20 o'clock in the evening, Canarot, the main city of Zda Province, died in a tenacious resistance and died in the battle of the lord and the defenders were basically destroyed.
On May 15, 1034, at 22:00 in the evening, the news reached Crowding City, and the whole country was shocked. The Grand Duke of the Crowding City convened a court discussion overnight to discuss countermeasures. However, in the face of such a rapid assault by the demons, the ministers were completely helpless. The church also admitted that it would not be able to provide strong assistance for the moment. At this time, the army coming from the "king of the king" from the surrounding provinces, plus the defenders of Crowding City itself, had only a force of 50,000.
If the Crow Principality wants to avoid the demise of the country, then it is only a matter of time to move the capital.
On May 16, 1034, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the Devil's Southern Assault Group forward broke through the last fortress in the southern part of Zda Province, and Uding City was completely exposed to the enemy's fangs!
On May 16, 1034, at 12 noon, the Grand Duke of the Crow's Principality announced that the capital would be moved to the main capital of Salz Province in the eastern province of Salz, and also announced that the defense work of Crowding City would be handed over to the Players Guild [Borbon Dynasty].
On May 16, 1034, at thirteen noon, just one hour after the Grand Duke announced the order to move the capital, panic spread rapidly throughout the city. The rich had already fled, and the poor were helplessly dragging their families to escape, looting, and riots continued to occur. The guards threw down their weapons and fled with the people. The soldiers were even more depressed, and the phenomenon of escape continued to occur. When the 50,000 troops arrived at the Bourbon Dynasty to take over, less than 30,000 people were left.
On May 16, 1034, at 15:00 pm, the president of the [Borbon Dynasty] Napoleon issued a declaration of resistance to the death in the Crow Ding City, calling on all bloody players in the Principality of Crow Ding City to not be cowardly or surrender, and quickly stabilize the city order with powerful means. While arranging personnel to assist the civilians in retreat, he led the military advisers in the guild to investigate the area around the Crow Ding City to determine the subsequent defensive strategy. At this time, the demon army was only 300 kilometers away from the Crow Ding City!
On May 16, 1034, at 20 o'clock in the evening, after a brief discussion, based on the existing enemy intelligence, the [Borbon Dynasty] decided to adopt a front-line defense posture, divide the Raven into five defense areas, rely on the fortress group and town group outside the city to build a defense line, and focus on the northern area line. At the same time, some elites with strong mobility are on standby in the city at any time as reserve troops.
On May 17, 1034, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the players gathered in Crowding City had reached 300,000, of which 100,000 were allocated to the Torre-Malmö Town defense line position on the north side of the city. Not only were there some small fortresses built in the past, but the [Borbon Dynasty] also built a large number of simple fortifications in just one day, including a large number of trenches used to block the Armored Commando of the Barbarian Demons, metal horse-repellent, barbed wire, and quite an air-defense. This was a war full of the wisdom of the Earthlings.
On May 17, 1034, at 10:00 a.m., the first batch of Firefly Beast Knights (a hell variant of the two-legged flying dragon) in the Kingdom of Hell appeared on the horizon and launched a fierce air strike on Crowding City. The Battle of Crowding City officially broke out!
On May 17, 1034, at 10:20 am, the second batch of Firefly Beast Knights followed, and launched ruthless bombings on the city. They used not sharp claws or spears, but a pineapple-shaped blood-red rock. Once this rock was hit violently, it could produce terrible high temperatures and flames, comparable to the real-life incendiary bombs. The entire city was quickly shrouded in a sea of fire. However, the [Borbon Dynasty] was very calm and did not use the griffon knights easily because they knew that once the location of their air base was exposed, they would immediately suffer a devastating blow. The gap in numbers between the two sides was too big...
On May 17, 1034, at 10:40 am, the first group of demon airship formations, under the cover of the Firefly Beast Knight, began to bombard the defensive positions in the north of the Crowding City in a crazily manner. It was a truly purgatory-like situation. Many players who had never participated in the war were directly frightened by the terrifying bombing. Only a few players who had participated in that world war could effectively avoid the bombing, but the losses caused by these rounds of bombings were far greater than Napoleon's estimate. About 20,000 players lost their combat power, and at the same time, some of the fortifications were destroyed, and the situation was quite unoptimistic.
On May 17, 1034, at 11:00 a.m., the Barbarian Demon Commando, wearing heavy magic armor, began to launch a fierce attack on the northern defensive positions, and in a short time it broke through the frontier positions of the defenders and occupied the Kuso Sawmill, one of the key points of the defense line. The commander in the front immediately used 10,000 reserve forces to try to regain the stronghold, but in the end it failed, and the defenses on the northern defensive lines began to retreat.
On May 17, 1034, at 13:00 a.m., the defense line of the Torre Malmo Town hurriedly retreated to the second line of defense, but the Barbarian Magic Raiders still launched a second raid on the unstable defenders without following up, which immediately caused the defense line to begin to collapse.
On May 17, 1034, at 13:30 am, the Torre Malmo Town Defense Line Command decisively put the last bit of reserve force at hand, a team of two thousand people composed of Paladins and Priest players into the battle, which soon stabilized the defense line that was originally on the verge of collapse, and gradually surrounded the Barbarian Commando, which was disconnected from the subsequent troops.
On May 17, 1034, at 16:20 pm, when the surrounding Barbarian Commando was in danger, the demon's follow-up troops finally arrived, but were extremely tenaciously blocked by the players. The front-line commander had sent a message to their president Napoleon. If the arrogant Barbarian Commando could not be eaten, then everyone in their command would delete the number together!
On May 17, 1034, at 16:40 pm, in order to save this barbarian commando, the demon used an airship to bomb the defender's position for the second time, but the numb defender, who was forced to attack the arrogant barbarian commando against the sea of fire. In order to support their battle, Crowding City decisively sent the long-standing griffin knights regiment.
On May 17, 1034, at 17:30 pm, after four hours of hard battle, the defenders finally annihilated the invaders who were the first to trample on the land of the Principal of Crows on May 17, 1034. In the end, only more than 100 people broke out. The Ruman's barbarian commander was also cut off by a Paladin player in the battle.
But despite a small victory, the situation was still very serious. The demon's follow-up troops were continuously advancing, and several Bald Demon Commando teams in good condition had already begun to prepare for the final offensive...
On May 17, 1034, at 20 o'clock in the evening, the Demons' New Second Legion and the New Fourth Legion launched a total attack on the Torre-Malmo Town Defense Line. They used barbarian demons as the main force of the assault, used airships and firefly beasts as cover, and bombarded the defense line with fierce artillery fire before the attack for about half an hour.
On May 18, 1034, at 2 a.m., the front line command sent a signal to Yading City for help. The defense line had been broken through in many places, but the players also fought very tenaciously. One key point even occurred when both sides repeatedly seized it several times. Everyone regarded themselves as dead people, and "It's nothing to die" became the slogan of all players.
On May 18, 1034, at 5 o'clock in the morning, in order to support the northern defense line that was on the verge of collapse, Yading City drew some of the troops from the south and west. The arrival of this force quickly stabilized the already shaky defense line again, but no one expected that just when the fierce battle in the north was in full swing, a dark red iron stream was quietly advancing to the west with empty troops...
On May 18, 1034, at 7:00 a.m., just as everyone's eyes were nervously facing the North Line, a pair of blood-filled soldiers suddenly appeared at the west gate of the city. At the same time, they also brought a bad news that almost made everyone faint...
Just ten minutes ago, a Nightmare Knights army suddenly appeared in front of the western position. The unexpected defender suffered a devastating blow. Moreover, because a considerable number of troops were drawn to support the Northern Line, only two NPC troops were defending on the Western Line. However, ordinary soldiers were only slaughtered in the face of the powerful Nightmare Knights. Not only ten minutes later, the defender was wiped out, and the commander was also killed in battle. Only a few people escaped to report the information.
On May 18, 1034, at 7:20 am, after sending a large number of people to investigate for a long time, they finally discovered the whereabouts of the Nightmare Knight. At this time, they had already detoured to the back of the northern defense line!
On May 18, 1034, at 7:30 am, the General Command of the Crowding City issued a retreat order to the northern defense line defenders. Many players did not understand this order, and the call to hold on to the position continued to pass up. However, after learning that the Nightmare Knights appeared behind them, the Front Command also decisively ordered everyone to retreat quickly.
All commanders knew that sticking to the defense line was an impossible task. The final strategy was to retain the vitality as much as possible to welcome the cruel city defense battle that would come later. Although players can be resurrected, it took a long time.
On May 18, 1034, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the first batch of retreating troops began to depart from the front positions. At this time, the news that the enemy cavalry troops broke through the western defense line and went around the back of their side had spread. However, the players did not panic too much, and the retreat did not evolve into a retreat. This is the advantage of the players. Although they did not have superb tactical qualities and had not participated in any war, they could truly be fearless of life and death.
On May 18, 1034, at 10 a.m., except for a few troops behind the hall, the defenders on the northern defense line basically broke away from the front and began to quickly retreat to the Yading City. The two demon legions did not pursue the line, but simply swept the defense line quickly and sent engineering troops to strengthen roads, bridges, build temporary supply stations and air bases.
On May 18, 1034, at 12 o'clock in the morning, the Northern Line defenders successfully retreated to Yading City. At the same time, news came that the southern defense line was defeated by the Nightmare Knights. This elite cavalry unit did not seek trouble with the retreating army, but instead attacked the southern defense line with equally weak defense, and cut off the only retreat and supply routes of Yading City in one fell swoop.
At this point, this once prosperous capital city has officially become an isolated city.
On May 18, 1034, at 13:00 a.m., the connection between the defenders on the east line of defense and the Raven City was cut off and they could only retreat to the adjacent Podor province.
On May 18, 1034, at 15:00 pm, Crowding City encountered the most serious air strike ever. About 1,200 Firefly Beast Knights and more than 200 airships participated in the air strike. They dropped nearly 5,000 "Fire Pineapples". Many facilities such as the palace, armory, and Fountain Square were completely destroyed, and the city walls were also severely damaged. At the same time, about 10,000 players "landing on the moon" during the air strike.
Everyone knew that the decisive battle was coming, and the president of the [Borbourne Dynasty] spoke on the city walls in line with the enemy's bombing.
The enemy's power may fail them, but it will never make them surrender!
On May 18, 1034, at 17:00 p.m., about twenty abyss demons used the Meteor Fire Rain to fire the first shot of the attack and defense battle in the Crowding City. After that, hundreds of format-caliber magic cannons began to bombard the city walls of Crowding City regardless of consumption. Ironically, many of the magic cannons were seized in the cities they captured.
On May 18, 1034, at 19 o'clock in the evening, the main wall of the Raven Town fell, and the battle began to turn into street fighting. All players were determined to die. In every street, every house fought bloody battles with the enemy, and the casualties of the demon army began to increase.
On May 18, 1034, at 22 o'clock in the evening, two-thirds of the city of Crowding City fell, and the remaining defenders were compressed to the wealthy area to the south. The buildings there were mainly solid marble, and the demons had to pay a huge price for every house they captured.
On May 19, 1034, at 3 a.m., in the dark, the last player was wiped out, and the blood-red biting snake flag rose slowly from the broken palace master's hall, and the Crowding City fell.
Although this battle ended with the failure of mankind, it sounded the alarm for the Yashan tribes. A principality actually lost half of its territory in just four days, and its capital was also captured. This is a situation that has never happened in previous lunar eclipse wars!
The human countries immediately gave up their fights, and the army began to evacuate from the border, and the great dukes began to discuss whether to join the nominal leader of the Unicorn Empire.
This battle also revealed many highlights in the failure, especially the players' tenacity and determination, which is not even worse than the elite legion in the eyes of many indigenous people.
However, this battle is not the end, it is just the beginning of the chaos in the Asano continent...
