644.No wonder the gods don’t show their holiness on weekdays. The after-effects of having a good time are really bad - additional update [5/5] (page 1/2)
（Additional updates for "Chen Wenjun 2" brothers【5/5】）
At dawn the next day, the battle at Black Flame Pass finally came to an end..
The good news is that after Murphy personally went into battle and led the Transians to fight fiercely and build momentum, and finally led Hu Congjun to launch a counterattack, positions No. 2 and No. 3 were successfully recaptured..
The bad news is that position No. 1, which is the most severely infiltrated by underground tunnels, that is, the outermost position of Black Flame Pass, has completely fallen into the hands of the Split Claw Jackals..
They sacrificed at least 8,000 kobolds and 1,000 jackals in last night's battle to withstand the Hu Congjun's counterattack, and used the time gained by the sacrifices on the front line to add a vicious barrier around Position 1..
It was a supernatural power exerted by a voodoo priest. It was like the fog of war that could not be dispelled, completely isolating the entire No. 1 position from the rear positions..
Murphy could have rushed in, but at the last moment he chose to stop.
Firstly, it was because dawn was approaching and the environment was no longer suitable for vampire fighting. Secondly, it was because I was worried that dusk might interfere with the fog. If I rushed in so rashly, I would probably fall into a trap..
Lord Heather is going crazy.
She regarded it as a shame in the Black Flame Pass, especially in the face of the victory of the Transians at Fort Courage. Her loss of Position 1 was like a fierce slap in the face to the face-conscious dwarf lord. face.
She is determined to regain position No. 1 before the sun sets today, and even decides to play in person.
Of course, this is not just a matter of face for the dwarves. The main reason is that the Black Disaster has just begun. Black Flame Mountain Pass has lost an important position. If it cannot be regained as soon as possible, then the subsequent battles will be impossible to fight..
In addition to the battle at Black Flame Pass, the battle at Fort Courage also came to an end at dawn.
After the unlucky Overseer who presided over the invasion was shot in the head by Cowboy Judy, the invasion was essentially over..
The remaining gnolls and kobolds still have a numerical advantage. However, after the Valander Knight personally led the hussars to complete the trampling charge, what about the numerical advantage? Hey, that's just an illusory lie.
What's more, the Transian warriors who fought here and slapped the Jackal's face with absolute bravery have returned here.！
When Happy Stick took down the blood flag and personally held it to lead the charge, even the toughest jackal barbarian would scream cowardly and then turn around and run away like a coward..
Although there is still a long way to go before it becomes a true "holy object", this flag dyed red with the blood of warriors and gnolls has obviously begun to look impressive..
In a world where there are such metaphysical things as gods and spiritual energy, the more significant the flag is, the greater the possibility that it will be "otherworldly" one day in the future, especially when it is constantly participating in various In major events, when its historical participation becomes more and more profound, it only needs an opportunity to become a true legend..
There is no shortage of similar stories on the mainland.
For example, the Great Wilderness Battle Flag, the treasure of the Winter Wolf Legion of the Nordtov Kingdom.
That thing was the battle flag used by the Hero King Boris when he was determined to open up the wilderness. It completely witnessed the Hero King's great conquest from beginning to end, and eventually became a powerful symbol of victory. That thing has been on the Nordtov Frontier since Once confirmed, it has been kept in the Winter Wolf Fortress on the far northern border..
Even the Western Sabarian gangs in the chaotic land of the far north are afraid of the power of the Great Wilderness War Flag..
Although the victory at Fort Courage was not as exciting and outstanding as the death match, the fact that the defenders of less than 400 people could persist to the end under the siege of thousands of gnolls and kobolds is undoubtedly something worth remembering..
After breakfast after dawn, a blood alliance army was mobilized and settled in the messy Fort of Courage..
Also coming with us were two earth priests..
Lord Heather has given a death order. Within seven days, the main construction of Fort Courage must be completed. Within twenty days, she must see this "holy land" that is very important to the morale of the defenders of Black Flame Pass complete the strategic defense..
The four earth priests can complete the construction within the specified time, but they need specific drawings. The silver dwarves are masters of design, but they also need time to reset the most perfect defense according to the terrain of Fort Courage..
But this problem has long been solved by the Transians..
While everyone in the Silver Moon Regiment was escorting 30 new recruits back to the Black Flame Pass, Samoyelia, the "War Architect" of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, brought his two local apprentices to Fort Courage. This guy brought A complete set of drawings designed by myself within three days of going offline.
Of course, it cannot be a work designed from scratch..
Samoyed is a very pragmatic guy. His drawings drew on the ancient "art of war" from another world. He created a pentagonal bastion structure based on the terrain of Fort Courage, which is both beautiful and practical from a top view..
“This design can ensure that our soldiers will not have any blind spots on the city wall. I also designed a guard tower for defense and security on the protruding part of the bastion, on which we can set up city defense artillery..
In this way, no matter which direction the gnolls attack from, they will receive enough firepower to get close to our city wall..”
Samoyed used his handy psychic measuring rod to introduce to the four dwarf earth priests beside him on the spread out drawings.：
“But to complete this design, the four of us had to first shape the terrain of the Blood Flag Highlands into a broader platform, forming a 5-7 meter drop from the ground in all directions. In this way, we did not need to build the city wall when building the city wall. 20 meters is an exaggeration. According to my calculations, when the Jackals lack heavy firepower, about 10-15 meters is enough..
In the core area of the five-sided bastion is the core tower for main defense. There is no need to build an exaggerated castle building, which would consume too much time and cost, so it should be built according to the model of a mage tower.！”
“"War Architect" said confidently：
“In Scarlet Castle, I watched the drawings of the Mage Tower designed by Master Ilych for the Tower of Midnight. We can definitely use it to make a scaled-down replica. After the Mage Tower is completed, we in Transia will also appoint a senior Silver A caster of the highest level has been stationed here for a long time..
When necessary, this mage tower can even become a spellcasting core to perform devastating astral tearing spells on nearby gnolls.！
I have consulted Grand Duke Tris and this idea is absolutely feasible..
Moreover, the Grand Duke also said that with the current scale of our Scarlet Fort, one of the Blood Vulture Clan's seven Serenade defense cores can be placed in Fort Courage. In this way, when encountering a siege by a large army here, the defenders can activate the barrier. Build a stronger defense.
The only problem is that this is not a psychic node in the Dark Mountains, so replenishing psychic power is a big problem..”
“Well, actually it’s not impossible.”
After a female earth priest looked over the drawings of Samoyed repeatedly, she raised her head and said：
“We Earth Priests have a complex magical technique that can use the power of Mother Gaia to transfer a certain spiritual energy node on the earth over a short distance. Fort Courage is only about a hundred kilometers away from the nearest spiritual energy node. If we can perform this If it's magic, then this mage tower can be built in a short time..
But the problem is that we cannot use this kind of magic casually. We must pray to the Mother Earth for permission in advance..
You must understand, Architect of Transia, that the earth is the domain of Gaia. In the legend of our Silver Dwarves, the spiritual nodes in the world are the joints in the body of the Earth Mother..
Once these naturally formed nodes are artificially transferred, they will cause pain to the Mother Goddess..
This is terrible blasphemy.
Therefore we can only perform such rituals with the permission of the Mother Goddess.”
“Then ask.”
Samoyed is an atheist. He cannot understand the sincerity of true believers towards gods, but he knows that he cannot express his opinion casually on such matters..
he said：
“When I passed by Shadow Valley, I learned from my compatriots that today is the day when the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia takes her turn to be the war guardian of the Black Scourge. You can borrow the altar there..”
“What？”
Samoyed's words made the four priests dumbfounded..
