Chapter 1117 The Great War

bang——

In the world of consciousness, the two distant volcanic craters located in the void, had a strong flame rising into the sky. As the hot magma flowed down the mountain, forming lines of different shapes, and finally sinking into the void, Allen seemed to hear all the cells in his body singing in joy. There was an invisible shackle in his body that opened with a "click", and the source of the fire roared and roared. Allen knew that he had advanced again.

Level 27, this combat strength is enough to win a lieutenant general in the federation. On Paradise Star, as long as he can own enough territory, he can even be promoted to Marquis immediately, even if the level of combat power is one level lower than the standard of the empire. However, based on his record of cutting through the city wall of Mirahan with a single knife, causing most of the city to be engulfed in flames, the difference is almost negligible.

God knows how much Allen wants to enter the depths of consciousness again, to explore the boundless red land and the will of the original ancestor. However, considering that the Fortress of Flame was approaching, Allen still quietly withdrew from the world of consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he felt a genetic circuit in his body springing up like mushrooms, and a brand new ability emerged in his mind.

Flaming volcano.

A destructive ability that is entirely inclined to attack and is a group attack. When the ability is activated, it will generate a restraining force field, forcing opponents within the range of the force field to gather together before launching a deadly attack. Of course, because its attack range is as high as nearly a hundred square meters, it is obvious that this ability must be used carefully, otherwise it will be embarrassing if it also pulls friendly troops in.

It was getting brighter.

Allen didn't have any pajamas, so he simply got out of bed with his clothes on. He opened the window, and he could see the gray-blue sky outside and the sleeping city under the sky.

Sharp Rock City.

The third city occupied by Masson fell into the control of the crusading army without any resistance yesterday evening. In fact, since the city of Mirahan was broken, it is not known whether the defenders of the other two cities have been frightened. Long before Jianshi City, the second city, Pike, only resisted a few times symbolically, and the soldiers guarding the city surrendered early.

Afterwards, Woodrick learned that there were only a hundred soldiers left to defend at that time. As for the main force of the defenders, they had already evacuated the city before the crusade army arrived. Jianshi City is even worse, there are not even half of the defenders. Allen still remembers that when he arrived in this city last night, the city gate was wide open, and the residents of the city were left behind, looking at them, the visitors, with helpless eyes .

The food reserves in Jianshi City were plundered, and the defenders left an empty city for Woodrick, and the defenders swept away everything that could be taken away, including food and young and middle-aged men. So Woodrick had to start to settle the residents in the city first. He distributed the general food to the residents, and wrote to the imperial capital to request material support.

Sharp Rock City is quiet now,

However, under the shadow of countless buildings, there are countless homeless residents lying there. Their house was pulled down before the defenders left to block the roads, and Woodrick had to clear several main roads to restore traffic in the city. In fact, Sharp Rock City is not rich. Strictly speaking, this is true of the three cities of Mirahan. The food that the defenders could take away was not much, but it would be fatal to the abandoned residents of Sharp Rock City, if Woodrick hadn't released the food.

The most resource in this city is stone, a stone that is incredibly hard. But no matter how hard the stone is, it can't bring wealth. Even though there are several large quarries in this city, people's life is still difficult. Compared with Olisga, it is quite different.

But no matter what, time is always moving forward against the clock, and will not stop because of anyone. Whether noble or commoner, everyone is equal before time. So the gray-blue sky in the east is gradually dyed a touch of gold by the sun, and the city gradually has the voice of people. A new day comes, no matter how difficult life is, as long as you close your eyes, you have to continue.

People had to rebuild their houses, and the quarry had to resume production. The residents had to exchange their hard work for the capital of their lives. After all, the supply of military rations was not unlimited. Of course, the Empire would help, but not enough to keep them out of poverty forever.

After breakfast, the orderly brought a message from Woodrick. Allen took Edward and left the residence in the city, and went to the Santo's Mansion to discuss with Woodrick the specifics of attacking the Fortress of Flame. Walking along a main road in Sharp Rock City, Alan saw Milo when he passed a small square. The priest was standing on a stone that was moved as a stepping stone, vividly describing to the onlookers the various benefits of becoming a Christian believer. One of the biggest benefits is the assistance from the church. The church will send food to these poor believers. Of course, believers must dedicate their loyalty to the church.

Allen shook his head and said softly: "Miro often said that in fact, the church and believers are just a transaction."

"But this kind of transaction is mutually beneficial, why not?" Edward pointed to the surrounding residents: "See those tired faces? I believe they need the spiritual care of Father Miro very much now. Even beyond matter."

"Maybe that's the beauty of faith."

"Do you have faith, Master Allen?"

"Me?" Allen smiled and patted the Red King: "Yes, my knife is my belief."

Edward showed a disapproving expression.

In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, this place has been rearranged. The previous cumbersome decorations have been cleaned up, but all that can be used are left to the residents themselves. Woodrick's request is only that the place is spacious enough to hold a war sand table. The general's orders were carried out most thoroughly, at least Alan who walked into the room didn't even see the curtains, but in this way, the place seemed to be well lit.

In addition to several important figures such as Woodrick, Julian and Belle Kay standing in the conference hall, there are a dozen or so officers of various sizes. It seemed that the meeting hadn't started yet, Belle Kay was alone, the others stood in twos and threes, and Woodrick and the prince were talking about something. Seeing Allen appear, the general coughed dryly and said, "Everyone, please come here."

The area around the war sand table was immediately filled with people, and the models on the sand table were rebuilt last night. From the top, it is not difficult to see the Fortress of Flames where Mason is located, and the newly built town in front of the castle. The long, winding town wall seems to tell everyone that Mason's territory is behind the wall.

Woodrick propped his hands on the side of the table, glanced at everyone, and said in a low voice: "According to the report of the scouts, our enemies gathered their forces and stationed them all on Flame Castle and this unnamed town. Everyone, Mason wants to have a big battle with us, what do you think about this?"

Julian pondered for a moment, and said: "It is true that concentrating all our forces will be a huge obstacle for us to crusade against Flame Castle. But this is not a bad thing either. As long as Masson's main force is defeated here, the Sword Lord will no longer have power Make a comeback."

"I agree with His Highness's words." Belle Kai, who had never expressed it at the meeting before, said in a rare voice this time: "Using a battle to decide the outcome is straightforward and exciting. If you procrastinate, you will have to fight several times I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

Woodrick shook his head, not agreeing with Belle Kay's words. The Ten Saints may not be an excellent military strategist, and Belekay's stage is to confront Mason, not on any battlefield. Woodrick looked at Alan who was smiling and said nothing, "What's the earl's opinion?"

Allen pointed to the town wall, and said solemnly: "This thing is too long, I can't cut it with a single knife this time."

Julian laughed, making the atmosphere in the conference hall less serious. Allen's words evoked everyone's memories. The scene of him smashing the city that day was still vivid in his mind, and he successfully aroused the confidence of the participating officers. Allen reminded them that in addition to the Ten Holy Powers like Belekay in the crusade army, there was also him, a master who could threaten the Ten Holy Powers. There was also a smile on Woodrick's resolute face: "I don't intend to let the earl do that again, not to mention, as you said, the guard wall is too long this time, and another feat of Mirahan is just a waste of your time." Yuanli. I don't believe Mason won't be unguarded against you after hearing about things like Mirahan's."

"So what does the general want me to do this time?" Allen asked with a wink.

Woodrick said directly: "It's very simple. At that time, I will send you a team, plus your own men, the Earl. I hope you can form an assault team to get rid of the enemy's strong men. There are no strong men. Without the support of the attackers, I don't believe that Masson's line of defense can hold back the pace of our army."

"This happens to be what I'm good at. I guarantee that apart from Mason, the other masters of the enemy will disappear one by one."

Woodrick nodded and said, "I think Lord Belekay will be happy to greet Mason if he makes a move."

Belle Kai tapped his pipe on the table and sighed: "Let me tell you first, frontal combat is not my specialty. If I were to face Mason's sword head-on, the chances of winning are not great. So I need helpers who can face Mason's sword head-on." Help, so I still have a chance to kill him."

Woodrick straightened his back: "I will cover you, my lord."

"That's it." Belle Kai said happily.

After discussing the details of the attack, the meeting broke up. The crusading army will stay in Sharp Rock City for another day and will leave at dawn tomorrow. It is estimated that they will arrive at the unnamed town in front of Flame Castle at noon. So today is a rare rest day, but with the great battle looming, everyone seized the time to prepare, so how could they waste their time in vain.

Stepping into the golden morning light, Mason, wearing silver-backed red-patterned armor and a fiery red cloak hanging behind his back, walked up a tower. He looked down condescendingly and saw groups of soldiers neatly arranged to form several phalanxes, looking up, their eyes all falling on him. Mason's eyes lit up, as if flames were erupting from inside, and an instant power enveloped the audience. He showed a bright and confident smile, looked at the soldiers downstairs and said concisely: "This battle must be won!"

Must win——

His ending voice kept echoing on the empty ice field, as if this ice field was also shouting!
