Chapter 27 Fishing Operations
In fact, the joint army's military dispatch operation has been since the beginning. It is not only the high-ranking officials and nobles such as Catherine, but in fact the same is true for the people. They hope that the peace in front of them will last longer. Although it cannot grow much, it is at least much better than being ruined by themselves immediately.
Although Gabriel also understood that the people and the top leaders lacked interest in provoking war, as the Archangel, she had no way to refuse. After all, what she received was an order from the God of Justice. For angels, the god's orders were naturally much more important than the people. So she had to join Catherine to convince those people who were war-weary. The final result was that the nobles and the people finally agreed to send troops, but they were only willing to send them.
With a small number of troops, they tentatively attacked the periphery of the Immortal Legion. After all, nothing is ready at the moment, and the transportation and management of materials and supplies have not been in place. It is naturally a bit too early to start a war. However, if you just shrank and defend and do not accumulate some experience in fighting with the undead creatures, you will naturally not be able to gain an advantage in future battles. It was precisely this that Catherine and Gabriel convinced the nobles and the people and made them agree to send troops.
Simply put, their original purpose was to "train troops" rather than attack. However, as the general was outside, the army was not destined to be killed. As soon as they left the border, the mysterious man immediately took power and began to launch an attack on the Immortal Legion.
Although the resistance was quite great at the beginning, when he easily captured two cities, in the eyes of the expeditionary forces on the front line, this man had become a symbol of their hope.
At this moment, they had forgotten that their original purpose was to train troops. Many soldiers hoped to completely eliminate these undead creatures, even if they were to advance slowly. As long as they could eliminate all these damn things, they would not come in vain. Although there were still very high-level officers who kept a calm and clear mind in the face of victory, the soldiers in the lower class did not have the overall view of their situation. In their opinion, as long as they could be under the leadership of that adult, and with the saint and angels here, would there be any obstacles that they could not overcome?
After these two war reports were sent back to the United Kingdom, they caused considerable responses among the nobles and the people. You should know that on the battlefield with the Magic Empire, humans have always retreated but advanced against those immortal troops, and it is already quite difficult to be able to defend a city. And now, although this expeditionary army that was originally going out to train troops is not large, it can actually capture two cities occupied by undead creatures?! This is completely beyond everyone's initial expectations.
Whether it is for military and family considerations or political propaganda, it is impossible to give up these two cities at present. The people's evaluation of this expeditionary force is unprecedentedly high. Coupled with the "celebrity effect" of Catherine and Gabriel, the coalition government in the rear quickly made a decision to provide logistical supplies and personnel supplements for the expeditionary force. I hope they can continue their efforts. Of course, it doesn't matter that even if they can't take down other cities, it's enough to build the current two cities into bridgeheads against undead creatures.
The United Government naturally has their reasons for thinking this way. Although it is now in wartime and those cities cannot be taken back for civilian use, the United Kingdom has an inch of military buffer zone for every inch of the expeditionary force. At least when the army of undead attacks, they cannot directly attack the United Kingdom's territory first, but must pass these fortresses set up outside the border. This will also provide the necessary barrier for the United Kingdom. For those people, as long as they are not fighting on their own land, they will not care about where to fight them. It is best that both sides will fight on the land that does not belong to them. As long as they do not affect their daily lives, there is nothing to do.
But Catherine and Gabriel naturally understood that the man was not so easily satisfied.
From the fact that he now ordered the army to carry out small-scale defensive construction on site, he obviously did not intend to build these two cities as long-term military fortresses, it was obvious that the man had other ideas.
However, even Gabriel didn't know what the man was thinking. Although she was depressed and full of doubts, she could not express these emotions in front of Catherine. After all, Catherine was just an ordinary angel. If she was affected by her emotions, things would likely become very troublesome.
Of course, Catherine herself doesn't think so.
During the waiting period, the undead creatures never came to attack again. According to the rewards of the scouts sent around them, the undead creatures around the two cities have almost disappeared. It is obvious that they may have noticed something is wrong and began to consciously transfer. They may be gathering and waiting for the moment of heavy blows.
Regarding this matter, the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force also held a private meeting and discussed it several times, but they never reached a conclusion. One faction believed that the undead must have any other purpose, and should now choose to stick to defense and conduct large-scale patrols and search for intelligence to stabilize the situation. The other faction believed that this was because the undead's panic reaction to the current situation. They strongly demanded that before the undead have a complete countermeasure, they would continue to move forward, take advantage of the situation to eliminate all the undead creatures, and regain these lands that originally belonged to humans!
Of course, both sides argued, but Catherine and Gabriel, the two most vocal people, remained silent. After receiving Li Lin's order from Soshiet, Catherine finally understood what she was going to do, so she was waiting for the development of things with peace of mind, while controlling its direction without deviation or shifting.
Finally, five days later, another army of about 5,000 people came to the front line and joined the expeditionary force.
In this way, the total number of the expeditionary army, which originally had only 12,000 people, immediately began to follow 20,000. At the same time, the abundant logistics supplies also gave the soldiers and officers a reassurance. What they need to wait for now is whether the final order is to defend or attack.
The man did not disappoint them. On the second day after the reinforcements arrived, he immediately led all the troops forward and took the third city. After two days, the undead creatures might be the best at siege, but they could not defend the city at all. After the man led the army into the city, although most of the undead creatures tried to use their powerful strength to carry out street fighting advantages, they did not work in front of the man's strange power. As long as he
Once that strange power is used, those originally powerful undead creatures will become extremely fragile. In addition, the holy light of Catherine and Gabriel, hundreds of undead creatures turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. Those undead creatures who escaped by chance are also not good. In front of the fully armed paladins and warriors, their extremely fragile bodies have no way to show their usual powerful power, and they are made into meat sauce.
Good news spread frequently for a while.
Soon, the entire United Kingdom knew that there was a mysterious messenger of the God of Justice who could only call him this and lead the unrivaled army. He had the power to restrain those undead creatures and could offset their advantages. In front of him, those undead creatures were no longer monsters that were as fast as lightning and powerful as cows, but only corpses that could move and walk. Of course, there was also inseparable from the saint Catherine and the Archangel Gabriel, how to cast the holy light and bravery.
The soldiers blocked rumors such as the foul-spreading of justice throughout the world. In addition, although after occupying the third city, the joint army also strengthened the protection and investigation of logistics supply, they were surprised to find that these undead creatures did not understand tactics at all, and they never even meant to attack those logistics troops. On the contrary, within a few days before occupying the city, the undead creatures rushed directly from the gate and were wiped out by the soldiers who occupied the territory.
These facts have made the confidence of the soldiers of the United Army soar a lot.
These undead creatures only rely on their strength, fast running and large numbers to win so many victories. They don’t know any tactics and have no skills at all! As long as they are well prepared, it is only a matter of time to eliminate them!
In the joint army, such remarks have gained a considerable advantage. Although there are still a few officers who keep a clear mind, the magic weapons of the Magic Empire have not yet appeared, and the dragon clan has not yet appeared during the battle of the Federation. In addition, the floating city that once washed Casablanca City has not even seen a shadow yet. However, when most people are extremely excited, they naturally cannot say this and pour cold water on them.
And things finally changed on the eighth day of occupying the city.
The sky was originally speculated that it was cloudy in the morning and it started to rain slightly. Most of the soldiers returned to their camps to rest, but there were also many soldiers patrolling the city walls. Although no one said anything, the damn rainy atmosphere made many people feel that their hearts were a little heavy, as if something bad was about to happen soon.
Sure enough, their premonition became reality.
At dusk, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind on the plain is getting stronger and stronger. The cold raindrops ruthlessly hit everyone under the wind, as if indicating what is about to happen. The howling wind sounds like the harsh calls and screams of the undead. The cold and coldness that spring should not have in this moment also filled the entire city, and even the burning fire became much weaker in this cold and strong whirlwind.
Soon, the soldiers on the watchtower saw the black dots slowly moving on the horizon in the distance. At the beginning, he did not pay special attention. After all, hundreds of undead creatures came to attack the city every day, but none of them could get any benefits. The soldiers also privately mocked these undead troops for only charging forward and fools who charge forward. Some people even said that they didn't even need to make any moves when facing these undead creatures. As long as they stood with their swords, they would hit the sword themselves, although it was only the truth.
However, the mission is a mission after all, so I looked up and placed my hand on the bell rope next to me.
Then, a heavy bell rang, which was the news that the enemy was about to attack, and then turned into a rapid and short continuous sound.
This is an alarm that a large army is attacking.
The soldiers quickly rushed out of their barracks. During the battles these days, they were already full of absolute confidence and courage, so confident that they thought they were enough to withstand the attack of any undead creatures. But when they arrived on the city wall, everything in front of them was divine. The ten soldiers who were originally burning with a fierce fighting spirit felt that they were all in a poor family.
The black and undead creatures appeared on the other side of the horizon. They flashed bright red eyes, which looked so frightening under the hazy rain. The bright red light spots gathered into a slowly moving river, moving forward on the ground. The anger and despair of death contained in it made all living people feel the complete coldness for no reason. It was absolute nothingness, life could never exist and change in shape, it was absolute evil and distortion, it could not be a terrible thing that naturally arises.
They roared, screamed, and roared, for the life they had lost and could not be reclaimed, and for the life in front of them. The mother used this desperate method to satisfy the emptiness and greed that could never be filled in the depths of her heart.
At this moment, everyone was wondering whether they had underestimated the true strength of the Immortal Army.
But these questions disappeared after the appearance of the god man and Catherine and Gabriel.
"Don't worry!"
The man still used his hood to cover his face without anyone seeing it, but his voice reached every soldier's ears. The aura that seemed to have magical power dispelled the fear in the soldiers' hearts and rekindled their fighting spirit.
"These undead creatures will not be rampant for a long time. No matter how many they come, they will not stop us from moving forward!"
As the man spoke, Catherine and Gabriel had slowly floated in the air. White wings stretched out from behind them. A little warm holy light shone out, covering every soldier, making them feel the warmth from the depths of their souls. They felt hope and enthusiasm again, and the firm will to not retreat when facing the battle. At this moment, in the eyes of these soldiers, the undead creatures below seemed not very scary.
They even had the illusion that they were enough to eliminate all the immortal army here.
And at this moment, a sharp, violent petite voice came from the whistling of the wind and rain, like a roaring beast.
"Stop making unnecessary struggles, lowly humans!"
Lightning roared and illuminated everything in front of everyone. In the sky not far away in front of them, a girl was floating. Her devilish wings stretched out, and the strong black air was scattered on it. The strong wind and rain seemed to be about to avoid the girl and floated around, hitting the silent undead army under her feet.
"I thought it was something that dared to hinder my army? It turned out to be just a group of low-level waste. Do you dare to attack my immortal army? What a courageous courage! Humanity!"
The bright red light in the girl's eyes was more than a hundred times brighter than those undead creatures, and her long silver-white hair was also shocking in the storm. Although she looked so young, it gave people such a terrible feeling. The evil aura was simply wrapped in the wind that could rage anywhere, and the atmosphere created by the mysterious man had weakened a lot under the tyrannical momentum of the girl, but he did not feel panic or surprised.
"It's useless to let you show off your mouth. Little girl
The man said.
"Do you die obediently. Evil like you shouldn't appear in this world at all."
As the man spoke, Gabriel began to advance slowly. She held her hands high, and the originally holy and beautiful brilliance was twice as bright as before, barely dispelling the evil aura that broke out from the girl, protecting the soldiers around her from the threat and influence of the evil aura. This also made the soldiers more confident. The originally wavering of waves of stamina returned to their unwavering appearance. They held the longbow sword in their hands, and the police slowly watched the dark immortal wave that was quiet not far outside the city wall, which was even more dark than the night. The priests had begun to pray in a low voice, and they used divine magic to give the soldiers the power of protection and attack. The paladins pulled the horses under their seats and drew out the sword. The sacred light flowed and flashed, waiting to show their powerful power in front of the evil.
"This does not require you to talk too much, male. Justice? I don't need justice. What I need is the death of your reptiles. Only when your corpse surrenders before me will everything end. Soon, you will know how small human beings are in front of my power.
The girl glared at the man coldly, then turned her eyes to the army behind him. A crazy, violent and evil smile appeared on her face.
"Today, I want to let all of you die here and make this place your eternal burial place! Repent, human, repent for your stupid behavior that dares to provoke me."
As the girl spoke, the immortal army began to move.
The blast of death broke through the embankment, rushed forward unscrupulously, and then hit the solid city wall heavily. The entire earth trembled slightly with this fierce attack. It seemed that in an instant, even the world itself would completely disappear and be destroyed in this crazy storm.
