Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 318 Reconnaissance and Probing

극The third hour of night, the castle in the camp.

The indigenous people of this world built a castle in the camp, a thick fortress constructed of quarried rock and magical power.

Different from the wooden camps used for external supply of reserve troops and ordinary infantry, the two-story rock walls of this castle, which was once a command tent, and the stone buildings inside formed a fairly solid defense zone.

The aboriginal people built this place to be impregnable, but they evacuated when they needed to fight.

This is definitely a bad thing.

The Magic Empire troops that had not been annihilated all rushed towards the castle under their control, knowing that their results as deserters would not be any better than those of the local aborigines.

The empire's military discipline has always been strict, or rather... they don't care about the lives of line infantry as expendable items.

Pull a drunkard out of a random tavern on the street, send him to the empire's military camp, hand him a magic rifle, and put him in a military uniform. Three months later he will be a qualified line infantryman.

The infantrymen who have completed the cleaning operation are waiting.

"Build temporary defenses at a safe distance and wait for attack instructions."

Each infantry squad in the territory's quick-reaction mechanical mixed infantry battalion receives instructions from the aerospace ship overlooking the battlefield and executes them in accordance with the tactical maneuvers in daily training.

Well, the Rapid Response Mechanical Infantry Battalion is the name given by Ji Lin to the territory's task force. Although the territory's current troop composition is compared with a real rapid response mechanical infantry battalion - even describing it as a beggar's version is a compliment.

"Each company commander will lead the structure troops under his jurisdiction to test the defense strength in the three directions of east, west and south. The aerospace ship needs to determine the enemy's firepower points and formulate an attack plan."

The company commanders of each mechanical infantry company received more detailed instructions, requiring them to cooperate with the aerospace ship troops monitoring the battlefield at high altitude to identify all enemy defenses.

The troops responsible for the attack did not carry heavy weapons specifically for siege, and the Empire's troops replaced the towers with war equipment in the castle with their own arcane focus generators.

Using the resonance of array runes to become an amplifier of the power of spellcasters, the war mages control the arcane focus generator installed on the vehicle body.

Release, focus, project.

A qualified and effective weapon, but contrary to normal gunpowder kinetic energy weapons.

When the enemy's protection ability is weak, arcane missiles with faster firing rate, faster charging, and weaker power are used; when the enemy is strong, arcane light flow is used to continuously kill the target with high power.

The weapons used by the Magic Empire focus on heat and light to effectively kill targets. The war machinery driven by mages is their most proud technology.

The Supreme Alliance, composed of spellcasters with no gaps between various races, operates combat units driven by magic and runes, and drives creatures/kinds without magical talents to become their vanguard.

A steam robot gradually dissolved under the stream of light emitted by three arcane focusers, and the iron-gray additional armor on its body fell off after absorbing a large amount of heat energy.

The flow of light eroded and dissipated the gear components inside the steamer, destroying and destroying the runes inside, causing the mechanical structure to tremble and fall to the ground. The highly concentrated white steam spurting out from the incomplete steam pipe almost obscured a small area, and fragments were thrown out of the exploded steam pipe.

This is the only result of the Magic Empire's Fourth Advance Army, the first result that can be observed.

There are two types of enemy humanoid structures. They kill relatively small structure units, and there is also a medium-sized structure that is nearly two stories high - their armor and protection are better.

The left arms of subsequent steam marines all held special temporary shields. These heavy shields composed of wooden materials and iron sheets were more effective against the heat rays of arcane focusers.

The penetration capabilities of the weapons used by the Magic Empire were not as good as those of live ammunition. The officers quickly came up with the shield plan: before the light stream burned through the shield, the steam troopers could return to the surrounding buildings. Hide yourself in.

Pick up the shield again in an era when gunpowder and steel should have been used.

"It's really hard to deal with."

A spellcaster looked at the steamer who returned to the shadows, and dropped his shield, which was half dissolved by the arcane focuser, on the ground.

The arcane stream of light caused no visible damage to its subject.

Even with the aid of magical vision, the night still compresses the cannon/war mage's vision to a very short distance.

The War Mage's ability to successfully organize and establish a defense line centered on the Arcane Focuser within the first hour of the enemy attack is already a manifestation of extremely high quality. Their achievement was also blocked by the Imperial line infantry coming from outside. To disturb.

Thanks to the operation of various arcane focusers, the castle can accommodate deserters in a wider range.

The crazy surge of imperial line infantry caused a devastating blow to the originally stable order in the castle. The most well-trained troops in the Magic Empire were originally stationed here.

The elite troops that protected the headquarters and mages were now mixed in with mediocre line infantry.

"I'm pretty sure they're testing our defenses, and when they're done, it's time to attack us."

An elf mage slapped the table and stood up. The light yellow and clear white light that bloomed when the arcane focus generator outside the window was activated made him feel more and more that the crisis was approaching.

"We must not sit and wait for death in the castle. The war mages have limited magical reserves and cannot support the long-term operation of the focuser."

"Do you know how many enemy troops are outside? Have you forgotten how the first advance army of the empire died?"

The human mage standing next to him shrugged and sneered at the opinions put forward by the elven mage. He knocked on the round wooden table.

He looked at these naive and arrogant elves and pointed out the window. The ground in the castle was covered with line infantry like scattered rice grains.

The elven mage may be far superior to ordinary people in the attainment of magic, but it is a disaster to let the elven mage serve as a commander-as for the promotion of ordinary people, these arrogant elves are reluctant to even integrate the line infantry. It is more difficult for them to accept the command of ordinary people than to let them die.

"Listen, your mercy is meaningless. It's all your fault for opening the city gates and letting these line infantry in. We could have let them build defenses directly outside the city walls and let them play their best role."

Now that you let them in, the castle is filled with panic and the wailing of wounded soldiers.

And we can't drive them out.

The middle-aged human mage sat back in his seat and sighed. He also thought of another worse possibility.

Do they really have reinforcements...

The first advance army of the empire disappeared on such a night. They were immersed in the joy of victory and followed the tail of the indigenous army, even marching at night.

When they crossed the gorge, they were completely disconnected.

When other advance troops found them, they only saw corpses burned by fire. The traces of the war were burned by fire and then washed by rain. Only a few troops escaped.

Until now, they only knew that there was an army attacking them, and they were as precise as magic to kill the empire troops at the most vulnerable moment.

The number, they knew; the weapons, they knew; the direction, they knew.

And they were definitely not the troops that this world should have. The Magic Empire thought at the beginning that they were the elite troops mobilized by this world, so the troops responsible for the attack were more cautious in attacking.

This is the bad thing about the mage ruling the country. Every army is led by a mage, and people without spellcasting talent are not even qualified to serve as adjutants.

The command layer composed of multiple mages fell silent for a short time. They were indeed not suitable for commanding battles as the middle-aged human mage thought.

Letting them go out and use war spells to fight the enemy is much more comfortable than sitting in a room and pointing at a map.
