Chapter 447 445: Recruiting Legends (Subscribe)

December 1, 314 of the New Divine Calendar.

A collar of flowers, a house of gold.

Loy and the red dragon Virgil sat in front of the magic mirror, both of them staring intently at the town devastated by the war, chatting idly.

Seeing the battle between the three-track warship and the magic aircraft, the red dragon Virgil was obviously stunned: "Can it be like this?"

"I thought warships were the only thing that could stop a warship at sea. Turns out magical aircraft can be used this way?"

Luo Yi took over the conversation: "Why can the extraordinary strong ones crush the second-level ones?"

"It's because most third-tier transcendents can fly, and they inherently have the ability to suppress units that can only run on land."

"Just wait and see. In the future, the sky will definitely be the decisive battlefield. If we lose it, those moving on the ground will become targets."

"Future wars will no longer be simply land-based battles, but a trinity of land, sea, and air. No single force can be weak!"

The red dragon Virgil was very dissatisfied and insisted: "It's just that we are too close to the coastline.

If it were any further, the magical aircraft wouldn't be able to reach it."

This is also true!

As the war progressed, a lot of information was no longer secret.

For example, this magical aircraft is quite powerful, but it also has obvious shortcomings.

For example, they are not flexible enough and difficult to control. For another example, each one of them is a big energy consumer.

Aircraft, of course, cannot be powered by magic energy pools, and can only be driven by magic crystals.

Every time it takes off, eighteen gem magic crystals have to be reinstalled. Even with these, the single-time flight range is only between 500 and 800 kilometers.

Conventional magic crystals use moonstone as a carrier, but for aircraft, their magic energy density is too low. For the same range, a flight would require at least hundreds of crystals.

However, it is different when using magic gems as carriers. They have higher energy storage density, better effects, longer battery life, and can be reused.

The only drawback is that the gems are too expensive and too valuable, and they must be high-quality gems.

The range is 500 to 800 kilometers, and considering the high consumption during round trips and fierce battles,

As a result, the attack range of the magic aircraft is limited.

"You're right!"

After listening to the Red Dragon Virgil's argument, Luo Yi did not refute it, but said: "If, I mean if,

If the Empire builds an ironclad ship large enough, would it be possible to launch aircraft directly from the ship?"

"this……"

The red dragon Virgil was dumbfounded: "Is it possible?"

"The future holds infinite possibilities!"

A moment later they saw the rifle again.

Dozens of lead bullets were fired in a fan shape. Within thirty or forty meters, both the imperial soldiers and the ruins of the wall were turned into sieves.

Red Dragon Virgil couldn't help but say, "If this is the case, even if a 4th-level agility professional comes, I'm afraid they won't be able to dodge them all, right?"

“It’s impossible to dodge, but with the speed of level four, running out of range is more realistic.

However, what is worth noting is not this rifle, but the fact that the coalition forces have finally begun to accept reality and use their brains."

"Sure enough, war is the greatest motivation for progress!"

This was probably the first time since the start of the war that the Empire suffered a loss from magical firearms.

The Sardinian expeditionary force almost used the imperial tactics to drive the imperial soldiers out of the town.

But the imperial soldiers are not pushovers!

After suffering huge losses, they immediately adjusted their mentality, organized a suicide squad, and launched a counterattack.

This time, they were led by more than a dozen powerful extraordinary knights, with six-barreled Gatling guns hanging on their bodies, and the ammunition belts were directly linked to special space magazines.

Then, they acted as the vanguard, sweeping into the town and, relying on their extremely high bullet density, managed to recapture part of the position.

As a result, the two sides fought repeatedly for every street and every house in the town.

Many times, the collapse of a wall can allow two sides to meet.

Then, either a volley of bullets would be fired randomly, or there would be close combat, with blood drawn on every blow.

Later, the follow-up troops of both sides caught up, the artillery positions were set up, and they began to bombard again.

If the position is lost, the artillery will bombard the enemy first, bombing them half to death and making them dare not show their heads.

Then the infantry charged, heavy machine guns cleared the way, and rifles fired indiscriminately to recapture the position.

The small town of Ypres is not very big, but in the end, it really became a fight for every inch!

Both the Empire and the Sardinian Expeditionary Force left behind a large number of corpses here.

It can even be said that in a war of such intensity, even the third-level transcendents have become consumables.

In the end, because there was no more soil and rocks, both sides piled up the dead soldiers and used them as shelter.

When the battle stopped for a while, the soldiers were truly unrecognizable and their bodies were nowhere to be found.

The flowing blood turned the ground into mud. If you stepped on it, you would slip and fall if you were not careful.

As they watched, Roy and the red dragon Virgil stopped talking.

The intensity of this battle left even them speechless with shock.

Luo Yi even believed that in such a battlefield, even if a fourth-level natural disaster was trapped in it, it would not be able to get out without considering escape.

Later on, both sides were killing each other like crazy.

The Empire even used poison gas bombs for the first time.

After the shell was fired, there was no longer an explosion, but a light green gas filled the air.

If it is accidentally inhaled into the body, the person will foam at the mouth, bleed from all seven orifices and die instantly in a matter of moments.

The imperial soldiers entered the battlefield wearing filtering masks that looked like pig snouts.

What they have to do is no longer fight, but to finish off the enemy and reoccupy the position.

It can be said that the empire has gone crazy for this small town.

But they still underestimated the determination of the Sardinian Expeditionary Force!

That's right, since joining the war, they have behaved very lazily, because most of the expeditionary soldiers felt that there was no need to risk their lives for the Bonaparte Empire and it was not worth it.

However, now it is no longer a fight for the Bonaparte Empire, but for one's own retreat.

The town of Ypres is still there, the supplies are still there, and they can leave at any time.

But if this place is lost, all the soldiers on the front line will have no food or water, and no way to retreat.

If they don't handle it well, they will all lose their lives here.

This is not what they want, so they are really willing to fight for it.

This time, they even mobilized all the mage groups and used wind magic to blow away most of the poisonous gas.

Then, one by one, the Dragon Lancers, with the magic shield that filtered the air, rushed directly into the battlefield and fought for their lives.

As for the final decision of the battlefield, it will still be at sea.

Just as the Red Dragon Virgil said, the magical aircraft formation has limited endurance and cannot hover over the battlefield all the time.

Lacking air defense weapons, the Sardinian Navy chose to avoid the enemy's attack and launch asymmetric strikes.

In other words, while the magic aircraft formation was still there, they evacuated directly and headed towards the open sea.

When the magic aircraft ran out of energy and had to fly back, they chased after it again.

Across the coastline, they directly bombarded the town of Ypres to create an opportunity for the coalition forces.

They had too many warships, and although the Empire still had an ironclad ship to block them, it was ultimately outnumbered.

Moreover, the Emden also encountered its opponent, a ghost ship that emerged from the seabed and came directly to its approach.

The ghost sailors above are really tough to deal with. Ordinary physical attacks have no effect on them, and bullets have no killing power at all.

In the end, it was the large-scale distribution of holy water bullets that expelled most of the evil spirits, but the suppression of the Sardinian Navy was also lost.

Eventually, the Imperial Army was forced to leave the town of Ypres.

After paying a huge price, the Sardinian Expeditionary Force managed to barely hold on to its supply point.

As for the supplies originally in the town, sorry, they disappeared after they took them back.

I don't know whether it was burned or taken away.

The fierce battle that lasted for several days and nights was played out by the magic mirror in just two hours.

At the end, both Loy and the red dragon Virgil couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, feeling like they were alive again.

That’s right, what they watched was not the live broadcast, but the edited secondary broadcast.

There is no way. Although the magic eye operates 24 hours a day and scans the battlefield, they cannot guard the magic mirror 24 hours a day.

Roy and the red dragon Virgil missed the battle of Ipre because he was too busy some time ago.

Besides, most of the time on the battlefield is very boring, and the audience can't watch a group of soldiers eating, sleeping and going to the toilet every day.

Therefore, this second broadcast came into being.

And through the wonderful editing and dubbing, the tense atmosphere and brutal fighting on the battlefield are more vividly reflected.

At this moment, the Red Dragon Virgil couldn't help but sigh: "The Empire has failed again!"

Luo Yi nodded without commenting, but simply said, "I'm afraid that's all for this year."

"This is a good thing. We should be able to have a relatively peaceful New Year."

As he said this, Luo Yi's gaze shifted to the magic mirror again and said, "By the way, Bishop, doesn't the Magic Eye Alliance sell video recordings? Can you help me get them?"

"Of course you can, but why do you want that thing?"

"Don't you think this is the best learning material? If I get it, I can show it to Alfonso and the others.

Working behind closed doors will only yield limited results. Only by allowing them to witness real war can they grow."

"That makes sense, but you should know that the Demon Eye Alliance is notorious for being greedy for money."

"It's a small matter. I'll cover all the expenses."

"That's easy!"

As the Red Dragon Virgil said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, you came here specifically not just to accompany me to look at the magic mirror, right? What's going on?"

Luo Yi nodded: "There is indeed something I have been thinking about for a long time. I hope to get your help?"

"you say?"

"You must know a lot of legends, right?"

Red Dragon Virgil said proudly: "Of course, don't you see who I am!"

"Then could you please contact them and ask if there is anyone willing to settle down in Xianhualing?"

As soon as these words came out, Red Dragon Virgil suddenly turned his head and widened his eyes: "Are you trying to recruit a legend?"
