"If we still have to retreat in the end, what do you think we should do to inflict the greatest damage on the enemy and hold them off for a longer period of time?" he asked again.
"About this..." Tug pushed his glasses on his nose, opened the thick blue and white book in his hand, picked up a pen and began to sketch and calculate one draft after another.
Afterwards, the two of them continued to discuss with several staff members in the room, and finally came up with detailed plans.
————
Unlike the well-organized Clansia defenders, the Frost Rose's attack was much more rapid.
Streams of blazing torrents cut through the sky, flooding the firing ports on the fortress. Then, under the cover of some cheap earth and rock golems, the soldiers of the Frost Alliance began to approach the bottom of the fortress. They used the ropes shot out by the golems to climb up the stone walls of the fortress, wearing special shoes to prevent slipping.
These elite soldiers carried mechanical gun swords with them and climbed into the collapsed firing holes, taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the internal tunnels of the fortress, preparing to directly attack the stationed artillery and kill the vulnerable enemies inside.
"We finally succeeded this time." At the back of the Frost Alliance, a woman in her 20s put down the telescope in her hand and said happily and proudly.
This woman, named Hedley, was the commander of this golem army and a prominent figure among the younger generation of the alchemist faction, the Black and Red Flame. Although only 28 years old, she had already reached the level of Sequence 7 Magic and was widely regarded as potentially capable of reaching the pinnacle of Sequence 9.
This was her first time commanding a battle on the battlefield. Even though she was born into a prominent family and had extraordinary strength, she still felt annoyed and irritated after being unable to capture the city for a long time.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this woman was already a rare genius, not only graduated from Emenas, but also was the daughter of the leader of the Lurna faction, with a promising future, she also had to face competition from many more outstanding peers.
For some unknown reason, starting from a few years ago, geniuses who were once rare began to emerge in various places and countries. At the same age, they are more dazzling and more powerful than previous generations.
"When I get back this time, I'm going to give that bitch Dilera a good slap in the face for robbing me of my man."
She watched the firing ports in the distant fortress erupt with sparks before falling silent, a lopsided smile on her face. Thinking back to that prodigy of her age with a seductive figure, she began to imagine how she could become his superior upon her return, relying on her military achievements, and then wantonly suppress him.
"Hahaha, Tirela, I want to see what else you have to offer besides your seductive looks. Isn't it just that you advanced to Magic Sequence 7 a year earlier than me? I'll tear off that hypocritical mask of yours and expose your true colors."
As a genius who graduated from the same academy as Tirela in the same year, their relationship was unpleasant. Despite Hedley's powerful family, many people preferred the gentle and considerate Tirela. And every time someone defended Tirela, Hedley grew more resentful of her, believing she was blocking her own light.
Just as this genius alchemist was daydreaming about the future, the battlefield ahead suddenly changed.
On the hilltops on either side, the tree-covered slopes suddenly collapsed, revealing dark firing emplacements within. With a command from one of them, a fierce fire suddenly ignited, and heavy shells slammed directly from the sides into the golem army below.
Gravel flew everywhere, and some golems were directly blown to pieces by the artillery fire from the rear. Black smoke and broken metal were scattered everywhere, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the valley.
The inferior earth and rock golems that had previously protected the troops' climbing attack were also shattered by artillery fire, blocking the Frost Alliance soldiers' way to continue their attack inside.
Inside the fortress, Sage and his elite guards began to sweep away the enemy forces that came in to cause destruction.
Several Frost Alliance soldiers armed with mechanical gun swords galloped through the alley. They kicked open closed doors one by one, then pressed the buttons on the hilts. The magic crystals in them connected to the engraved magic array, and a dark red light covered the sword, increasing its armor-piercing effect. Then they hacked and killed the enemies in the room, trying to catch them off guard, and then greatly destroyed the artillery and other supplies in the fortress.
Ping-pong, the sound of metal clashing rang out everywhere, and bursts of explosions came from the room, and then they walked out and rushed to the next shooting hole in the fortress.
"Stop here!" Sage drew the dark golden dagger from his waist and looked at the small but elite enemy force in front of him.
"Kill!" With a loud shout, the red light marks and the golden sword light collided with each other, and the two sides started a fierce battle in the alley.
Snap——
A brilliant sword light flashed, and several Frost Alliance soldiers were knocked directly onto the wall behind them, then slowly slid down, bleeding bright red blood, and there was no sound anymore.
Although this group of people were well-equipped, Sage, as a general of Clancy and an outstanding meritorious person, was not only more powerful, but also had received the gift of the sage and had now reached the level of Sequence 7. It was natural for him to deal with such an enemy.
————
Outside the fortress, under the crossfire of artillery from the hills on both sides, the Golem Legion had to suspend its attack on the fortress and turn to deal with the bunker in the mountains.
As they stabilized their position and blew away the cannons on the mountains one by one, the situation slowly turned to the Frost Alliance. Even more deadly, on the other side of the sky, bursts of rumbling sounds began to be heard.
