Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 226 Pre-war preparations
The Federation has three battle mage regiments stationed in Blackstone City in the Evil Moon Mountains - the scout force, the defense force and the high-level mage regiment. The scout force has five hundred-man resident battle mages, and the defense force is supplemented by spellcasters sent from the rear to rotate. Only the high-level mage regiment is special, with only more than a hundred high-level battle mages, using powerful air mobility to complete some dangerous combat missions of surprise attacks and counterattacks.
A week later, the demon supply line raid named "Tear Operation" by the Federation completed a series of pre-war preparations.
This operation was commanded by the scout commander Andre Weiss, who will personally lead the mages of the three hundred-man scout regiments to advance covertly from the gap in the Evil Moon Mountain Canyon to the No. 3 supply line, and rush to the hill outpost camp in advance to wait.
This was a mixed combat operation mainly based on ground forces. They used high-level mages with strong air mobility as bait to frequently harass and attack the demon clan's logistics channels outside the supply lines 3 to 8. In fact, it was to divert the attention of the demon clan priests and hybrid monsters in the target area, and create a gap in the enemy's defense for the scout troop's mage group.
Although most of the combat mages of the scout troop were of low- to medium-level, they were stationed in the Evil Moon Mountains all year round. In this vast battle area spanning hundreds of miles, it was unknown how many small-scale contact battles had broken out with the demon clan. They were truly an elite force walking between life and death.
They used group spellcasting to fight against the crazy demon soldiers who were several times their own strength. They were not afraid of the terrifying threat of the enemy's charge and self-detonation. In the most difficult years of the war, when the demon army advanced to the Black Stone City, they could also cooperate with the defense forces in the city, wandering in the battlefield in small teams, repeatedly interspersed and harassed the demons in the rear, to delay the enemy's advance and wait for human reinforcements.
It can be said that they are the most vigorous group of spellcasters in the Federation. Even if they clearly know that the demons will send powerful and terrifying hybrid monsters to the battlefield, no one retreats and is afraid to participate in combat missions.
The 100-man scout group led by Commander Damo Franky lost more than 50% of its members in the last small-scale battle against hybrid monsters. They had to draw some low-level spellcasters from other war groups as supplements. Their combat power is far less than the other two war groups participating in this operation.
Therefore, Commander Andre Weiss not only distributed the "Gun of Annihilation" to their entire regiment, but also replenished them with 500 rounds of "Annihilation Magic Ammunition" with a wave of his hand, which can be said to be naked special care.
"Master Franky, this time we will never be defeated again when we encounter the hybrid monster regiment of the demon clan head-on." An old scout wizard who has been following Franky for a long time stroked the gun of annihilation given to him and snorted coldly, "Hehe, if I meet those hybrids raised by the demon clan again, I will definitely make a hole in their foreheads..."
The hybrid monsters hybridized by the demon clan through secret methods are obviously different from ordinary wild monsters or mounted monsters. They can not only spray fireballs, ice blades, venom and other similar attack spells from their mouths, but also their flesh and blood bodies are extremely tough and strong, and have a certain degree of anti-magic effect, and are almost completely immune to ordinary low-level range-type spell attacks.
Ordinary blood warriors and wizard followers simply cannot withstand the impact of its huge body, and the caster's cluster range attack has limited damage to it, which means that the caster has to gather many people to use powerful single-target attack spells to surround and kill a hybrid monster.
The demon race berserkers who can fight with the hybrid monster at the same time are a great threat to the caster in this case. Their bodies strengthened by the injection of blood and flesh secret medicine also have a certain magic resistance. In close combat, the caster can only hold the determination to die together.
…
The marching speed of the three scouts was much slower than that of the high-level wizards flying in the air. It took two days to reach the low mountains overlooking the demon race supply line.
The scattered scout teams have already encountered several times the demon scout cavalry active around the supply line. Relying on the ultra-long-range attack power of the "Lance of Annihilation", the scout mages can often find signs of enemy activities long in advance, and use skilled concealment techniques to approach and kill, ensuring that the marching movements of their own troops are not exposed.
"Son of Fire" Feir Holden and "Storm Walker" Matthews Willy flew side by side, skillfully controlling the surging magic power of their bodies, and flew at high speed towards the small fortress that stretched across the dark green primitive forest several miles away.
It was a transit station on the demon supply line No. 10, built by the demons into a permanent fortress-style fortress, with about a hundred berserkers and several demon priests stationed here.
Matthews, who was flying at high speed, suddenly let out a hissing sound, which attracted Feir's attention and then slowed down his flying speed.
“Although Lord Gallagher allowed us to freely choose our harassment targets, there is no need to pick a base so far away, right?” Matthews frowned and complained, “We flew all the way here from the canyon outpost and even stopped to replenish our magic power halfway before we could barely make it here… The distance is too far. If something unexpected happens, I’m afraid we won’t even have the energy to return.”
Fair was wearing a simple gray-black combat mage robe, and his body hovered out of nowhere at the top of the canopy of a 100-meter-high tree. Listening to the cautious remarks of comrades and netizens, he sneered disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? It’s only one day’s flight, where is it far? If you can’t fly, we can also walk back to the ground. If you can’t even walk... At worst, I will suffer some losses. Can’t I carry you?”
He took out two high-level elemental magic stones from the storage ring he wore on his fingers, threw one into Matthews' arms, and began to quickly absorb the magic contained in it to replenish himself.
He still muttered unyieldingly: "How long have you been stationed in the Evil Moon Mountains? Why are you still acting timidly like this? Since you want to lure the enemy, you have to make the movement big enough... Those fools If you get together in groups of three or five near the center of the demon front line, you will inevitably attract the attention of the high-level demon priests in the central fortress. Those guys are difficult to deal with and it is easy to turn from fake bait into chopping board meat..."
Matthews said angrily: "Even if that is the case, you can quickly evacuate and return to the canyon outpost. Is the danger much smaller than that we are deeper into the enemy's back?"
He was suddenly stunned as he said, "What do you mean...will they do this to attract enemies too well? If you repeat it many times, it may arouse the suspicion of the top leaders of the demon clan in the central fortress... ...If the defensive air of the supply line is not easily exposed, then our ground scout troops will probably be severely damaged! "
Although His Excellency Wes Gallagher is the chief of the Federation of Combat Mages and the Supreme Commander of the Federation's Combat Force stationed in Blackstone, his ability to restrain the high-level casters in the battle group is very limited, and often It can only play a nominal role in coordinating.
This is also related to the complex contradictions and struggles of internal factions that have existed since its establishment a hundred years ago. Most of the high-level mages in the battle group have more or less ancient family backgrounds of the seven wizard kingdoms behind them. The most important time is the close confidants or close friends of the heads of certain departments within the Federation, and they are a group of guys who are obedient to the tune and not the announcement.
Fair clenched his fist with one hand, pinched the magic stone in his palm into powder, and said quietly: "So why is this operation mainly based on the combat mage troops on the ground, and let the advanced spell casters lure the enemy to assist? Humph Humph, this group of fencemen who have always been instructed will soon be eliminated by the times..."
Disobedient spellcasters are like unattended tools. Since there are more suitable substitutes, they will naturally be abandoned by the orthodox factions within the federation...
When Matthews thought of this, his expression suddenly became a little strange, and he silently complained in his heart, "Isn't this guy in front of him a typical disobedient? Why do you feel embarrassed to cricket others behind him? He forgot how he was kicked out of the mage team back then, Are you discharged from the army in shame?”
Of course, they didn't dare to just say this to Fair Holden, otherwise they would have to fight here before the mission was completed.
"Why don't you tell Your Excellency Gallagher directly about the shortcomings and loopholes in the scheme of luring the enemy, so that you can reduce the casualties of ground troops..."
"Hmph, although there are many fools, we are not the only ones who are smart. Don't worry, there are other advanced ones who are the same as our plans..."
Fair turned his gaze to the supply transfer station in the distance and urged impatiently: "Okay, have you had enough rest? Do you want to go down and make a cup of tea for you? If not, let's act quickly!"
...
The two quickly flew to the point where the supply was hundreds of meters away, slowed down and began to observe around.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Matthews, who had undergone secret transformation in both eyes, saw at a glance a huge deformed monster entrenched on the top of the small fortress. It had no four torso, and only its huge head was fixed in a huge iron cage. Hundreds of red compound eyes kept looking around, and then focused almost instantly on the two people floating in the sky.
"It's the reconnaissance eye demon! We were discovered!" Matthews warned in a deep voice.
The fortress below immediately boiled, and four figures in dark red robes flew out from the gates of the patio at the top of the fortress and rushed towards Fair and Matthews.
"Damn it! What's going on? Isn't this a supply transfer station? How come there are four high-level priests?"
Fair couldn't help but curse, and looked at Matthews quickly and found something wrong.
Among the four demon priests who flew into the air and rushed towards them, the priest in the head was wearing a dark red robe that also represented a high-level identity, but he suddenly wore a tall metal on his head. The crown reflects dazzling light under the reflection of the sky light.
His head seemed to be integrated with the crown, and the metal base of the crown was embedded directly into the flesh and blood on the top of his head, making the other party's head more than one circle bigger than other demon priests.
"That's... the promotion! Damn it, that's the promotion among the high-level priests of the demon clan!"
The two of them turned their direction almost immediately and rushed towards the dense forest in the distance without looking back.
Matthews was so hard that he could hardly open his mouth by the strong wind in the flight that he could only ask, "What should I do? Run directly? What if they chase him closely? We can't waste the promotion!"
Fell snorted coldly, "Keep some distance first and let them chase us! After a while we'll pretend that our magic power is exhausted and we fall to the ground... Don't forget that we also brought the Gun of Annihilation!"
