In his speech, the current pope officially declared that the crisis facing the nations is the Third Holy War.This is a necessary process, and the great crisis, which has been dubbed jihad, is a great encouragement for people to come together to confront the current threat.Even during Owen's visit to the Holy City, the monsters were being actively fought in various places.…… The Elven nation of Venola, part of the territory of the Flo Mountains, is the front line of the battle against the swarms.As you can see, there are several bare hills here, and the vegetation on the mountains has been eaten away by insect swarms, and there is no trace of green to be found.Bang!
A gunshot rang out at the foot of a certain mountain, alarming several nearby birds and monsters, who flapped their wings and flew away.An adult-sized lone insect fell, a pool of dark green blood flowed from the ground, and the six legs twitched a few times before moving.Two elven soldiers on a reconnaissance mission stepped out of their hiding places, and one of them looked up at the bare hill in front of him, and couldn't help but show an indignant expression."
Damn!
They have devoured another hill of plants, and it would be devastating to let them advance to the Venora Forest, where we depend. ”"Looks like this mountain should have been eaten clean not long ago, and the swarm is probably still around here."
Another elven soldier said, "For the sake of safety, let's hurry back and report this to the Queen." ”"Hmm!"
The elven soldier nodded.In the camp tent at the back of the battlefield, the elven queen Igabella listened to the report of the two elven soldiers, and the expression on her face became more and more serious.After letting the soldiers retreat, she raised her hand and hammered the table hard, and said angrily, "Another mountain of plants has been eaten by the swarm, and they are getting closer and closer to the Venora Forest, we must repel them, and we can't let them go on." ”"They really have to be stopped."
Elder Sheen, who was present, said with a solemn expression, "However, the bullets and cannonballs we purchased from the Dawnlight Kingdom before are not enough to launch a strong offensive against the swarm. ”In the face of the attack of the swarm, the elven army with insufficient ammunition was indeed a little overwhelmed.In fact, at the beginning, the elves were very confident.After all, the battle site against the insect swarm is in the depths of the Foro Mountains, where the vegetation is dense, and the affinity between the elves and plants is extremely high, and they can use plant magic to assist in the battle.However, after the battle between the two sides, the confidence of the elves was instantly shattered.The plant magic they are proud of doesn't work much in front of the swarm, because the swarm will unceremoniously eat all the plants that get in their way, and there will be nothing left.Not only that, but those bug monsters also have sturdy exoskeletons, whether it's bows and arrows, or plant spikes, it's hard to deal effective damage to them.The swarm that frantically gnaws at plants is simply the nemesis of the elves.The only thing that can hurt the swarm is the military weapons and equipment purchased from the Dawnlight Kingdom.It is precisely by relying on this batch of military supplies that the elves have barely survived to this day, otherwise the swarm would have invaded the Vinora Forest long ago.While Igabella was distressed, Ellie Renee hurried in from outside."
Her Majesty!"
Kneeling down on one knee in front of Igabella, she reported, "Gustiel's material transport team has just arrived at the barracks, and the supplies that have arrived include a batch of ammunition urgently transferred from the Morning Light Kingdom not long ago. ”"This batch of ammunition came at a better time!"
After hearing the report, Igabella excitedly stood up from her seat and then gave a new order."
Pass the order, quickly distribute this batch of ammunition, and prepare to counterattack the swarm!"
…… The Fagaran League, in a field on the east bank of the Flor River, a battle is underway.Valley< /span&gt; A large wave of insects flapped their wings and flew densely through the air across the Flo River towards the camp where the army was stationed in front.Boom!
A deafening cannon bang sounded, and a cannonball flew out of the muzzle of the cannon at an extremely high speed, falling in the midst of the insect swarm, and the fire and black smoke rose into the air, killing many insects in an instant."
Report!"
After this round of artillery fire, a captain in charge of directing the artillery ran over and reported to the commander: "Our shells are finished. ”"What?!"
The corners of the commander's mouth twitched a few times, "It's only a few shots!"
Why did it run out so quickly?
”"This ......" hesitated for a while, but the captain still chose to reply truthfully: "In order to deal with the sea monsters that invaded the southern part of our country, the alliance leader has drawn a large amount of ammunition from our side and put it into the southern battlefield. ”"Damn!"
The commander couldn't help but curse.In the final analysis, it's all the fault of those remnants of the Popang Empire's nobles!
Had they not given up their resistance, the Fagaran Alliance would not have fallen into a situation where they would have been attacked from the back.Looking at the dense and untold number of insect swarms in the distance, the commander raised his hand to the battlefield and turned to question the captain."
You tell me, how are we going to defeat such a large number of enemies when we are running low on ammunition?""
I don't know."
Glancing at the swarm of insects that were surging towards him in the distance, the captain couldn't help but feel a sense of fear."
Or ......
Let's retreat. ”"Retreat?!"
The commander stepped forward in a few steps, his eyes widened, and he almost touched the other party's face and said, "If you allow the insect swarm to wreak havoc in the village behind and slaughter the people, the alliance leader will definitely cut off the heads of both of us!"
”"This ......" the captain subconsciously took a step back.Right now, it's not guarding, it's not retreating, he doesn't know what to do.At this moment, dozens of meteorites suddenly fell from the sky, all of them fell into the attacking insect swarm, and exploded, and many insects were swallowed by the flames or killed by the lava through their bodies."
What's going on?"
The Commander looked up at the sky and saw three huge warships slowly flying from the east, and the large magic that had just been cast by the ship's magician regiment.How did such a large warship fly?!
Not only the commander, but many soldiers on the ground opened their mouths in surprise.At this moment, a magician with a flying magic stone flew down from the flying warship, hovered over the camp, and loudly announced."
We are the reinforcements of the Wizard Country of Bigris, and we have come to support you in dealing with the swarm on the orders of the Wizard King.""
Great!"
Hearing this, the commander couldn't wait to walk out, looked up and responded loudly to the magician: "Thank you very much for your support, we need your magic support very much, let's join forces to fight off those damned bugs!"
”Eyes fell on the commander, and the magician grinned."
Well, that's exactly what we wanted!"
With reinforcements from the Wizard of Bigris, the morale of the Fagaran Alliance army was greatly boosted, and every soldier mustered up their energy, grabbed their weapons, and rushed into battle to fiercely fight back against the swarm coming from the west.
