A strange sharp howling sound came faintly. After a moment of delay, Wales heard a loud thunderous sound on the southern plains.

This is a sound that has never appeared in previous battles, and it is a movement that has never been made by those crystal cluster giants.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the loud noise, but could only vaguely see a huge ball of smoke rising into the air. Near the area where the smoke and dust rose, the army of crystal clusters seemed to be in chaos.

It is said that the magic weapons created by the Cecils can launch attacks from more than ten kilometers away, projecting powerful explosive devices to the exact position. Before the arrival of "Sky Fire", the sharp whistling sound was its most prominent feature.

Reinforcements are entering the battlefield - but they are still far away.

All the barriers of holy light were shattered, and the particles of light radiated in the air fluttered on the city wall. As the light particles fell, the arc from the Crystal Cluster Legion began to strait the city wall that had lost all protection. The knights with broken armor walked forward with giant shields to fill the gap in the city wall, while the bloody soldiers manipulated all the catapults - whether there was magic or not - to start this final counterattack.

The brilliance of the huge sun penetrated the clouds and sprinkled a brilliant brilliance. The morning glow pouring between the clouds coated the ancient capital with a layer of golden light. Everything - blood-stained flags, broken armor, long spears flashing with cold light, huge catapults and crossbows, and the craze of crystal clusters surrounding the capital, all shone in the sun.

"Our reinforcements have begun to attack!!" On the city wall, a bloody knight raised Ansu's king flag high, waving it hard and shouting loudly, "Stand for the last..."

A sharp crystal spike flew from the edge of the city wall and penetrated the knight's chest. On the wall, a hideous and swollen monster continued to climb upwards.

The Welsh sword swung, and the invisible shock wave cut off the monster's body. He took the king flag that was about to fall and raised it high: "Stay on the defense line!!"

"Hold on the line of defense!!"

"Hold on the line of defense!!"

More and more whistling sounds came from afar, and more impact clouds began to appear at the end of the southern plains. However, the battlefield of the siege was so vast that endless crystal cluster monsters almost covered the entire Saint Sunil Plain area, so that even if reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, it might take several hours to advance to the near walls. The sensible crystal cluster army would inevitably not stop attacking in this process.

Gowen and Byron also knew this very well.

Armored griffins flew past the sky, bringing the latest information on the defense line of the King's Capital. The Bridge of the Trail Blazers - also the command center for this battle. Byron is analyzing the situation on the front line: "... The Great Shield of San Sunil has collapsed, and the layer of Holy Light Barrier that Sonia observed has also collapsed. Now they are relying on the enchanted city walls and knights, and the soldiers maintain their defense. The densest area of ​​the enemy is near the Eastern Wall Barrier of the King's Capital, but it is outside the coverage of the main gun of the Trail Blazers."

Gao Wen looked at the combat map in front of him, but a satellite overlooking image appeared in his mind: "A offensive route was bombed from the south of San Sunil to the Gorgon River, and the ground troops entered the field, and then built artillery positions in the south of the eastern wall barrier. The firepower cooperation between the fleet and the ground troops could separate the monsters. As long as they could withstand their counterattack, the battlefield would be controlled."

"But the counterattack of those monsters may be very fierce... After all, they have lost even the most basic concept of 'stop loss', and they will not stop until they die."

"This is exactly our purpose - to reduce the number of Crystal Cluster Legions near San Sunil in the shortest possible time, and as long as their numerical advantage in the region is lost, their threat to the capital will be reduced rapidly - San Sunil's walls are self-repairing, and as long as the damage they bear is lower than their repair speed, it will be safe," Gao Wen said slowly, "and as for whether the ground forces can withstand the pressure before this... you should believe in the power of the armored cluster. When the firepower advantage is sufficient, the number will be meaningless - and I will also command the ground forces myself, so don't worry."

"...I understand. I will ensure the firepower support here and ensure that you have smooth road."

Ten minutes later, Gao Wen left the bridge and prepared to go ashore.

He walked towards the side of the Trail Blazers, and Amber's figure appeared beside him: "Hey, hey, you really are leading the army to charge--"

Gao Wentou didn't reply: "What, is there any problem?"

"Don't forget how you died in your previous life. Today's scene is too similar to the situation described in the story on the day you died in the battle. Do you have no psychological shadow?" Amber continued to bbw, "Or it is false to say that you claimed that you had a psychological shadow on this matter before..."

Gao Wen finally looked back at Amber and said casually: "Then the main purpose of your followers is to perform and dig graves on the spot after I die?"

"...That's not, am I still your guard in name..."

"Then stop talking nonsense, keep up quietly - this kind of battlefield requires a scout who is keen and good at saving lives."

"Oh--you must not die, if you die, I will go back and explain it to Hetirebeca and the others..."

"Shut up."

When the steel tracks began to crush the earth and the chariot troops drove towards the battlefield with mechanical tremors, Gao Wen's mood had completely calmed down.

Amber was not by his side, but he could sense that the half-elves' aura was wandering within a hundred meters nearby - she was traveling through the gap between the present world and the shadow world, observing the nearby environment, observing whether there were any energy remnants left after the activity of the crystal cluster giants in the shadow world to confirm the possible movements of the enemy.

In the sky, armored griffins and giant eagle knights were reconnaissing the entire battlefield, guiding the ground troops forward while providing firepower guidance for the fleet on the Gorgon River.

On the Gorgon River, the warship headed by the Trail Blazers is fine-tuning its main gun and is about to launch the next round of firepower support.

Gao Wen, sitting in the command car, breathed a sigh of relief.

Amber said one thing wrong - when his body died in battle seven hundred years ago, how could it be the same as today?

...

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the ground troops advanced to a high ground in southeastern Saint Sunil according to the plan. In the face of the advantageous firepower of the tank cluster, the advantages established by the Crystal Cluster Legion relying on a huge number were gone as Gao Wen said. The Crystal Cluster monsters launched a continuous counterattack driven by instinct, but were eventually buried in the charred battlefield by overwhelming shells and burning flames, while a long-range artillery position was quickly established and began to suppress the area in southeastern Saint Sunil.

The artillery support extended from the Gorgon River, coupled with the highland firepower points established by the ground forces, the Cecil Legion cut into the battlefield diagonally like a hot sabre. It tore the position of the Crystal Legion and began to bleed the already out of control of the destruction monster.

Wales noticed subtle changes on the battlefield.

Faster than he expected, the Crystal Cluster Legion's attack on the royal capital weakened.

The soldiers in the fight may not have time to take into account the overall changes in the battlefield. The knights with limited abilities can only pay attention to the city wall they are responsible for. However, Wales, which always pays attention to all the conditions of the entire defense line, did not miss the slight change in this situation - the attack density from the Crystal Cluster Legion is decreasing, and the enchanted walls in some areas of the southern city wall no longer continue to collapse, and even entered a state of repair and damage.

The number of those monsters is decreasing, and their offensive focus is gradually shifting.

Wales turned his eyes to the plains in the south, but he still couldn't see the specific location of the Cecil Legion - all he could see was the continuous smoke and explosion flashes. The explosion flashes were no longer far from the city wall, but the attackers were still invisible.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the power of those explosions is really amazing, and it is no exaggeration to collapse.

The Cecils used their powerful long-range power to cut the battlefield, and judging from the signs of fighting from afar, they must have made very bold transfers and advances in the process of performing this cutting.

The reinforcements are indeed far away, but their strength has crossed the barriers of space and projected onto the defense line of the royal capital.

In the sky, the Cecilian armored griffins and giant eagles swept across the battlefield for the third time, and the actions of those flying units were obviously closely related to the battle on the ground.

A lot of intelligence about the Southland emerged in Wales' minds—about the magical weapons they used, about the weapons purchased by the Kingdom Army in the Southland, and about some details of the Southern Integration War.

There are many things that cannot be seen from the information. Only by contacting them personally - even from a distance can we realize the truth behind these information.

Wales had thought about everything about the southern border for a long time, but the intelligence involved in the military field was always full of mystery. He did his best to use his talent in intelligence analysis to outline part of the legion, but he was always unable to complete the final summary due to the lack of key information. At this moment, after seeing something with his own eyes, the fog in his mind suddenly became clear.

"...It seems that this is their combat method... the advantageous long-range weapons, intensive attacks, rapid transfers, long-distance interspersion... and this also requires the cooperation of the large army and the high-speed transmission of information... It should not be the communication technique, the communication technique is too high... It is the "magic network communication" mentioned by Grand Duke Victoria? In addition, they must have established a more efficient command system to control the large number of units distributed throughout the battlefield... What would it look like?"

Wales looked into the distance, and he found that he had too many things he couldn't understand. He couldn't understand how the Cecils maintained such a large-scale remote communication, how their command system was operated, how their logistics, equipment, and soldiers were built. After discovering that he had so many things that could not even imagine, the new King An Su laughed instead.

The "factory reform" carried out in the city of San Sunil was just a clumsy imitation after all. The town management plan piloted by the Western Front and the royal fiefdoms was only learned from the bottom of the ground. The reform activities that lasted for more than half a year of vigorous efforts last year ended in vain. It was the flaws of the reformists themselves and the stubborn obstruction of the conservatives that led to all this miscarriage, but in the end, a new era came.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's attack is weakening," said the voice of the Duke of Berdevin Franklin, who was slightly tired from the side. The Duke of the West had blood in his eyes, but his tone was still steady and powerful. "The Cecils occupied the highlands in the south of the East Wall Barrier, and the attack of those crystal cluster monsters was blocked."

Wales nodded slightly: "San Sunil survives."

"Yes, the king survived." said the Duke of the West.

"I should be prepared for the Duke of Cecil."
