706.Participants in war receive glory, while bystanders only deserve humiliation (page 1/2)
The nightmarish night finally ended. When the sun shone in the early morning of the next day, the last group of defenders who evacuated the Black Flame Pass finally set foot on the road away from here with complicated emotions..
When the astral tear occurred, they almost passed by the astral rift..
Like those jackals who tried to escape the disaster, they also ran in embarrassment before finally reaching the safe area. They spent an excruciating three hours in the "New Mejeva" village where the shadow elves stayed before, and almost He witnessed the entire process of the Great Rip of the Star Boundary from its occurrence to its stability..
The pale light falling from the sky and the disorderly flow from the star realm form an "energy waterfall" falling from the sky. This bizarre scene is destined to be engraved in the memories of these people, and they will not be able to forget it until the moment they die. last night's scene.
Not only had they witnessed a spectacle, but it also indicated that everything they were familiar with on this land had disappeared. The completely destroyed position also represented that the old days were gone forever..
All the soldiers' memories of Black Flame Pass remain at the moment it was destroyed..
Love it or hate it, it no longer exists.
There was not much morale left when the soldiers left in the early morning. Most of them were in extremely low mood, but there was not much time left for them to rest and recuperate..
They couldn't even get a short but satisfying sleep. The Shadow Valley, which was the second line of defense, couldn't carry so many people. The Cadman People's Army soldiers who stayed there could only provide these soldiers with some drinking water and food..
Captain Paula's airship is already waiting in the valley.
A large part of these soldiers evacuated from the Black Flame Pass will be sent directly to the Maginot Line further north in the Filthy Swamp, where they will spend the rest of the Black Disaster..
Yes.
They still have no way to escape from this cursed war. The oaths they made before the war must be fulfilled until the last moment..
The worst thing is that even the blood alliance knights are currently unable to contact the blood alliance clan headquarters. After losing the leadership of Lord Heather, even the staunchest members of these vampire societies have become confused..
Fortunately, their fellow blood vultures have arranged everything for them.
There are still many things they have to do next to treat the wounded, count losses, and reorganize, but this is not a bad thing. The organization is generally intact, which means they can continue to fight..
I just need to find the reason to fight again.
But that kind of thing.
For the soldiers who have experienced the attack and defense of Black Flame Pass, there are too many, whether it is in the name of inheriting the will of the dead, or in the name of revenge or protection..
Of course not everyone retreated.
There were also some people who were advancing in the opposite direction while the defenders withdrew to Shadow Valley, including Tris and several high-ranking commanders of the Blood Vulture clan, the leaders of various Transian factions, and the earth priests of the Silver Dwarves..
These people need to return to Black Flame Pass to evaluate the situation there so as to prepare for the subsequent battle plan..
It is worth mentioning that among these people there are two "new members" who arrived just last night”.
Major Fraser, who returned to the battlefield on behalf of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and Winter Wolf General Baldwin, who came to the front line in person.
The former had a plan to return to the front line, while the latter, after receiving the news of the fall of Black Flame Pass, almost supported his flying mount all the way across the filthy swamp and arrived here at dawn..
For General Baldwin, the fall of Black Flame Pass was too sudden, which almost disrupted all his plans for the Black Disaster..
He has to go to Black Flame Pass to see for himself.
For Colonel Fraser, this journey seemed too heavy..
Because he lost a subordinate and a friend, Major Dunn Hope died heroically in the final battle of Black Flame Pass last night. His friend Major Ron was seriously injured and was sent back just two hours ago. Field hospital at the Maginot Line.
In the end, only half of the 5,500 people in the Plantagenet Kingdom's vanguard battalion at Black Flame Pass survived. Such terrible battle losses made him, the vanguard commander, have to come to the position for both reasons and reasons..
Not just for mourning, but also for the military questioning that I will definitely face in the future..
He must complete a battlefield report in the shortest time and submit it to his superiors and King Louis who is far away in Fog City..
This "exploration team" had no verbal exchanges along the way. Everyone, including Tris, looked very bad. Even though they had confirmed that the Splitclaw Clan's army had been wiped out, it still couldn't be considered a battle. victory.
“It's here! Can't move forward.”
Tris's carriage stopped on a hilly plateau three kilometers away from the Black Flame Pass. Grand Duke Tris warned the others.：
“The dirty psychic energy from the great tear in the astral world has disrupted the psychic energy environment ahead. The psychic energy here has always been unstable and now it is being impacted again. God knows what bizarre things will happen in front of us. Take Cadman City's suffering six months ago As a reference, this place is not suitable for any life to approach for at least half a month..
We have planned to prepare a large amount of alchemical fire oil nearby. After the concentration of foul psychic energy drops, we will imitate the cleanup operation in Cadman City and burn the entire mountain pass ruins with flames..
But I hope you can understand that the complex terrain of Black Flame Pass, coupled with the underground tunnels dug by kobolds and ratmen, will definitely make this place one of the most dangerous areas on the continent even after it is restored..
Last night's tearing of the astral realm not only threw the dangerous forces of the material world into the astral realm, it also 'threw' some things from the astral realm..
Colonel Fraser should understand this.
After all, you are the only outsider among everyone present who has seen the ruins of Cadman City with your own eyes..”
“Yeah, I can understand the dangers..”
The haggard Colonel Fraser was riding on a war horse. His four guards were observing the surroundings vigilantly. The others also dispersed to observe the situation at Black Flame Pass in their own way..
But to be honest, from this position you can only see the sky and land ahead filled with dark smoke. Even at dawn when the solar energy is most active, sunlight cannot penetrate the smoke there..
The torn traces on the sky are as unforgettable as the creation of the star realm in Transia. At the top of the dim sky, you can see the purple-black crack like a devil's mouth, like a shocking scar..
Huge purple-black filthy spiritual energy continues to escape from it, falling like black snow into the haze below..
The entire mountain pass and even the battlefield area were shrouded in such a desolate scene..
On the ground position, all the remnants were covered with an uncomfortable black curtain. Nothing of value could be seen with the naked eye. But the more this happened, the more ugly General Winter Wolf's expression became..
He himself has inherited the family tradition and is a very outstanding winter psionicist..
Although most of the time the general does not need to go into battle to perform psychic spells in person, his professional qualities are still there.
With the perception of a psionicist, he could clearly feel the chaotic and filthy power entrenched in the front position. From such a distance, the remaining filthy psionic energy on the battlefield was still affecting his mind..
The majesty left behind after the most dangerous wave of disordered turbulence that caused the great tear in the star realm dissipated. If such a force appeared over the Crimean Fortress, his fortress might not be able to stop it..
The Transians made all this happen.
These guys can already use the natural disaster-like astral tear as a weapon. From this perspective, they can force the Transians to release such terrifying destructive power at the cost of destroying the Black Flame Pass. They can also use it from the side. Proving the danger of this black disaster.
“Are all the Splitclaw Gnolls dead?？”
General Baldwin asked.
This time it was not Tris who answered him, but Maxim who had completed the Silver Trial and was stronger and more majestic. The monster general whispered.：
“Astral tearing will not kill all living creatures within the effective range, Mr. Baldwin. It is not essentially a ritual for destruction, but we can be sure that the ten most violent energy conflicts in the astral tearing last night were Within minutes, most of the Splitclaw Gnolls on the surface were either obliterated by the psychic conflict or swept into the Astral Plane.
