My players are so fierce

Chapter 1401 13 Locust Front

"boom"

A violent explosion appeared at the predetermined impact point. With the continuous bombardment of more than thirty heavy artillery, the insect nest in the front battlefield was quickly enveloped in a burning fire.

While the bombardment was going on, the heavily armed Plantagenet Knights held high the banner and commanded the elite musketeers to quickly approach the insect nest. After the bombardment was completed, they would go deep into the insect nest under the leadership of their respective commanders to eliminate them. Hiding dangerous monsters.

From the coat of arms on the breastplates of these knights, we can tell that they are from the Legion of Greene, which is the most elite force under King Louis and a symbol of bravery in the Kingdom of Plantagenet. Facts have proved that the soldiers of the Old Guard have lived up to this honor. title.

In the past few days, they have destroyed two small insect nests. The one in front of them is the largest and last monster nest in Anjou.

Although in terms of armament it is indeed not comparable to those hanging on the walls in Transia, the golden flamethrowers that the Plantagenet Kingdom obtained from the halflings are just as useful for hunting bugs, and they also have armed airships to provide firepower. Support, and most importantly, the convenient railway network in Anjou allowed the Old Praetorian Guard to deploy quickly.

They will not have logistical pressure on their own territory. The soldiers only need to muster the courage to attack those damn bugs that suddenly appear with the blessings of the people.

But Lord Fleming, the frontline general of the Old Guards, was not happy at all.

Not only because the soldiers under his command were seriously injured in a few days of fighting, but more importantly, with the sensitivity that a commander should have, he found that the insects in front of him were getting more and more difficult to deal with.

When attacking the first small insect nest, the soldiers were able to suppress the cannon fodder bugs with sharp blades and muskets, but when it came to the second insect nest, those ferocious soldier bugs learned to use simple tactics, and their underground ambush made him Two regiments of knights were lost in the battle.

This time it’s even more outrageous!

Despite the constant artillery suppression, the observer told him that the bugs were adopting evasive tactics.

They made a tunnel near the insect nest and hid in it like a trench, which meant that the lethality of the gold-burning shells was partially offset.

"These carapaceous guys are much smarter than we thought!"

The general narrowed his eyes and stared at the insect nest in front of him that seemed to be engulfed in flames.

It used to be a border village, but after the bugs crossed the Dark Mountains, it lost contact with the nearby cities. The bugs did not take the initiative to attack the city, but the Anjou region would not allow such a threat to continue to exist.

Facts have proved that their initiative was correct.

Fortunately, two small insect nests were destroyed before the insect sea in this edge insect nest was formed. Otherwise, when the three insects gathered together, the surrounding small towns would probably be doomed.

"We must report what happened in the Anjou region to the king! There are currently no signs of insect activity in other places, but now that they are here, they will certainly not stop here. We must prepare for this immediately."

General Fleming said something to his adjutant, who nodded and believed that the general's thinking was absolutely correct.

Especially after what happened in East Prussia, it is no exaggeration to say that there is a tremor in the kingdom. I heard that Greene Island has begun to clear out the vampires in the shadow zone.

Obviously, the king has consciously eliminated other unstable factors in the country, but it is definitely not a good thing to have such dangerous bugs at this juncture.

"General Fleming! General Buck Thoros, the commander of Dorod Fortress, sent a messenger. He asked to see you immediately and said that he had important information about these 'locusts'."

A knight on a war horse came to send back the message, which made General Fleming immediately raise his eyebrows. He handed over the battlefield command to his adjutant and other officers, and took a four-wheeled vehicle obtained from the halfling. The military vehicle returned to the camp a few kilometers away from the front line and met the messenger.

"Ron? It's your boy!"

When General Fleming opened the car door, he saw a familiar guy leaning outside the medical tent next to the barracks, harassing the female medical officer. Looking at the guy's familiar combat leather jacket and chic hairstyle, Fleming knew the guy's identity. .

He is Ron's elder.

When Ron was still studying at Bourbon Military Academy, he briefly served as Ron's gunnery instructor, so he was deeply impressed by this bastard.

Because this guy had such superb card skills, he once lost a month's instructor's allowance overnight.

"Instructor Fleming! Salute to you!"

Seeing the general coming, Ron, who was sent as a messenger by his brother, immediately put away his prodigal aura and saluted his former mentor seriously.

Fleming looked him up and down. He noticed from Ron the aura that a veteran should have, and nodded with satisfaction. The general also heard about the bad things this guy experienced in the pioneering legion, but now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he asked:

"What news did Buck ask you to bring?"

"This is very important news. In fact, it was not sent by my brother. The insect nest in the Cato area was wiped out by the vampires of the Wolfsbane clan the day after it appeared. This information in my hand came from Transia. of."

Ron handed a computing orb that stored information to General Fleming, who took it in his hand and opened it skillfully. After reading the battle report and information on the optical projection, the general in his prime frowned. It's deeper.

He said:

"We are also aware of the problem of the rapid growth of locusts. Now the accurate intelligence of the Transians has announced the difficulty and danger of the insects. Fortunately, there are no more insect nests in Anjou, otherwise I am simply amazed at what will happen in the future. I can’t imagine it.”

"Your intelligence is out of date, general! On my way here, I received information sharing from the Shadow Intelligence Bureau. There are already bugs nesting in the direction of the green woodlands in the Antani area."

Ron shook his head and said:

"There are also traces of insect activity in East Prussia, but the good news is that the Torrent Knights will be responsible for handling that crisis. My father is also eager to use this battle to rebuild the morale of the Pioneer Legion, so you don't have to worry about the Capetian Principality. Due to the situation, it is estimated that after fighting in the Anjou area, we will go to Antani immediately.

I heard that fringe insect nests also appeared in the forests of the Castile Peninsula, not to mention the Songhai Empire.

That sand sea is full of scarabs, and these dangerous locusts are said to be somewhat related to scarabs, so the Songhai Empire will definitely suffer a more serious threat from the sea of ​​​​insects than we do.

Judging from the current situation, there is no real safe zone in front of the flying insect swarm. No matter how fast you act, the expansion of the insect nest is only a matter of time. The result of being passively beaten will lead to the overall One day, the entire world will be overrun by bugs.

The problem must be solved from the source!

This is also something my father and brother are worried about. They hope that you can come forward to make suggestions to King Louis and actively cooperate with the Transians' upcoming Gray Desert expedition.

The 'Zero Hive' hidden in the gray desert must be destroyed.

That’s where bugs come from!

Unless it is destroyed there, the entire continent will no longer have peace. "

"Let me take the lead?"

General Fleming blinked in confusion and said:

"General Soros, no, Marshal Soros's qualifications and connections are much wider than mine, why doesn't he?"

"Oh, as a qualified soldier, you should not pay attention to these political issues. It is more appropriate for you to take the lead than others. The ruling prince of the Capetian Principality will also follow up after your suggestion."

Ron waved his hands and said:

"Although it doesn't respect the royal power to say this, my father and brother really hope to give our Majesty a step down, rather than waiting for him to be passively forced to join.

Don't look so grim, General, let me tell you some good news that makes you happy.

Compared with how smoothly we dealt with the insect swarm here, the situation over there with the Yankees was extremely bad. Four insect nests appeared in succession in the area north of the Black Mist Mountains, and the Yankees' standing army was defeated overnight. Got two.

If the Great Wilderness Corps hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment, the Yankee border area would have been completely occupied by now.

I heard that even the Winter Wolf Legion guarding the northern border was forced to mobilize several troops to support. "

"Ha, isn't that inevitable?"

General Fleming pouted and said:

"The army under Wolf Girl still adheres to the backward concept of numerical superiority. Except for a few elite legions, their soldiers cannot even guarantee basic firepower. Facing an offensive of the scale of the insects, they will only be beaten. "

Before the general finished speaking, he heard an exclamation from the observation deck high up in the military camp. He quickly climbed up to the high platform to avoid the psychic telescope in the hands of the sentry, and glanced at the battlefield, which made the general's blood run cold. .

In his sight, two combat airships of the Greene Legion had crashed above the insect nest.

The ignited flames fluttered in the sky like blood-stained flags, while densely packed flying insects reoccupied the sky and flew towards the defense line of the military camp in a manner that covered the sky. The soldiers on the frontline battlefield had already broken in. In the insect nest tunnel.

General Fleming believed that his soldiers could definitely kill the nest master insects, but now the question was whether the military camp could withstand the ravages of these flying insects.

If they can't stop these flying bastards, then the cities behind...

The Old Guards are indeed elite. When the alarm sounded, soldiers immediately rushed out of the barracks and rushed to the combat site under the leadership of their respective lieutenants. However, it was too difficult to hit flying insects with the weapons in their hands. .

"Ahem, General, besides being General Buck's messenger, I also have another identity on this trip."

Ron spoke quietly at this time:

"The Halfling's 'Hellfire' trading company entrusted our Black Flame Mercenary Group to serve as their weapons agent. This time I brought ten simple anti-aircraft guns specifically for air defense. Do you want to see the power of these new weapons? ?

But agree in advance that if these weapons are used here, you will have to buy them. "

"Halfling weapons?"

Fleming pouted and said:

"Is it the military technology provided by the foreigners in Transia? So, Governor Murphy plans to spread the weapons in his arsenal to all parts of the continent? Will he even give generous gifts to his enemies?"

"Well, I think you should stop pretending. Who doesn't know that we Plantagenets are no match for the Transians at all? If we are enemies, let's not flatter ourselves."

Watching his mercenaries push out and assemble a wheeled anti-aircraft gun from the cargo hold of the airship, Ron said rudely:

"Governor Murphy has never regarded us as enemies. His enemies have always been the Chaos elements. King Louis probably understands this truth, so he accepts the existence of the Capetian Principality. Besides, it is not a good thing for the Transians to let the bugs eat us all.

So this wave is not so much a diffusion of technology as it is a military aid provided by advanced forces to backward forces.

The decisive battle between order and chaos is about to begin. Whether we like it or not, we have to accept the armament of the Transians and go to the battlefield with them."

"What if we don't want to?"

General Fleming asked softly, and Ron shrugged and said:

"Then wait until you die, and then Pluto will order you to be resurrected as loyal undead and then go to the battlefield! You see, he always has a way to make You are obedient, but meaningless death means unnecessary loss, and the living people will have an extra chance to fight for themselves and their families.

Let's take a step back and say that this locust plague cannot be dealt with by the Transians and the Hades army?

No!

They can sweep through these bugs independently!

But they are still willing to give us a chance to participate and become heroes, not because they really need us, but simply because they don't want to give up on us.

So, don't struggle, Mr. Fleming.

Life is like this shit. Since you can't resist, you might as well obey and enjoy it. At least the Transian weapons are really powerful to use.

Oh, by the way.

I have a production drawing of the "Iron Bear Armor" here, do you want it? "

"Yes! Why not? "

General Fleming shrugged and sighed:

"Actually, I also think that it is meaningless for humans to fight a civil war. There are already enough dangerous things in this world. We don't need to regard each other as enemies. So during the ten-year war, I hid in the military academy and let Loren, that idiot, take all the limelight.

Alas.

The story of Loren and the pioneering corps is enough to alert all of us. "

--

"They stopped here and no longer moved forward. It seems that the cold climate can still curb the progress of locusts. The fact that there is no insect nest in the frozen land area north of the wilderness has proved this. "

Marshal Baldwin was riding his "Alpha Wolf" class heavy armed airship specially made in the Halfling Factory and overlooking the battle line below. He put down his hand. Telescope said to the Winter Wolf Bishop beside him:

"God Su protects our country and will not suffer more attacks from locusts for the time being, but if the situation deteriorates further, once other areas of the continent become the nests of insects, then Nordtov will certainly not be able to remain immune.

What do you think?"

"My God has sent down the oracle, Marshal."

The Winter Wolf Bishop next to him said expressionlessly:

"All members of the Winter Wolf Church will participate in the encirclement and suppression of locusts, and the attack on the No. 0 insect nest is also a battlefield for us to exert the power of faith. You don't have to test it. The church has no objection to this. The only question now is whether His Majesty will temporarily put down his dignity as a monarch and obey and unite under the banner of the Order Camp?

After all, the Kavhoka area has just been seized from her, and I think His Majesty should have some grudges in his heart."

"That's not a problem."

Marshal Winter Wolf waved his hand and said:

"Her Majesty has always been rational, especially in terms of national affairs, she will not bring in too much personal emotions.

Moreover, you know that the decision to seize Kafhoka at the end of the ten-year war was not made by His Majesty, but was the result of the game between the court and His Majesty. Although it is not decent that the Kafhoka incident has come to an end now, the kingdom does not have to pay more meaningless bloodshed and sacrifice for the territory that never belonged to us.

At present, eradicating these insect nests is the top priority!

Facts have proved that the poor armament and training of the standing army in various places, as well as the morale of the subordinates, do not have the ability to continue fighting under such intensity. Continuing to maintain the bloated standing army system in various places will only become a burden in the next era!

The outstanding performance of the Great Wilderness Legion and the Winter Wolf Legion is enough to convince the opponents in the court.

His Majesty's military reform can also begin with this."

"Marshal! The flying insect swarm is coming! Please hide for a while! "

A Winter Wolf Swordmaster rushed over to give Marshal Baldwin a suggestion, but the Marshal didn't care at all.

He waved his hand up and then down, and the armed airship, which was strong enough and upgraded with targeted anti-aircraft firepower, immediately opened the gun windows of the hull and fired at the attacking insect swarm, and the frost dwarf hunters riding wolf griffons also took off from the deck to counterattack the flying insects.

"Drop the Winter Guard to the ground!"

In the air where the battle was raging, Marshal Baldwin observed the underground battle situation. He issued a new order, and the Winter Wolf Bishop next to him asked in a surprised whisper:

"Winter Guard. Is this a new type of soldier?"

"Well, it is our psionicists and mechanics imitating the Transian dragoons. This process was greatly assisted by Callum Hundred Craftsmen."

The Marshal introduced:

"That is a new weapon that is more in line with the Nords' way of fighting. Each Iron Guard has an inextinguishable fighting heart and loyal soul. "

With the marshal's voice, the lower deck of the marshal-class combat airship opened, and one iron coffin after another was smashed into the area with the densest insect swarm on the ground.

After they landed, the shell opened, and the awakened Winter Guard moved their mechanical bodies, activated their "centaur"-like war bodies, and began to ruthlessly slaughter the surrounding insects with swords and hammers in hand.

"It's embarrassing to say."

Watching the Winter Guard killing all around, Marshal Baldwin sighed and said:

"Do you know? The construction ideas of these guards are still stolen from the Wamu barbarians in Ice Bay. The followers of Wamu are ahead of us in arming themselves with steel."

"What? Barbarians? Are you kidding?"

In the last two days of July, the monthly votes are very low. I beg for monthly votes, brothers, for the extra chapters next month, charge!
