Chapter five hundred and seventy-two red tide (four)
Updated: 2012-11-26
Seven Dragon Chronicle, August 2, 5:32 am, above Kuandian Swamp
Although the swamp in the morning was foggy, the sky was unexpectedly clear. It was a pretty good weather. Even though the sun's hand showed half of its head, it was enough to dispel the coldness of the night.
Although the other end of the border is already the realm of hell, out of confidence in its own strength and indeed a place that is off the beaten path, the Silver Federation has almost no prevention or warning facilities in the Kuandian Swamp, or to the view of the senior military leaders of the Silver Federation, this muddy swamp itself is a huge fortification.
But all of this is ignored. The land here is extremely difficult, but the sky is unobstructed. This neglect will also give the Silver Federation a lesson in the near future!
"Second attack formation, please report the coordinates of the journey."
"Cangyun City sent a communication, and the formation has moved to the predetermined attack point according to the predetermined route."
"Pu, commander-in-chief of the Second Attack Form, General Kra sent a secret telegram, and the coordinates of the delivery have been determined, and the error rate is less than 100 meters, so combat can be carried out."
Gradually dyed a faint blue sky, a huge fleet of air was slowly crossing the border and advancing towards the south of the swamp. As for their identity, as long as they saw the blood-red tyrant snake flag, they could know that this was from the Hell Destruction Legion!
This is a good air maneuver fleet that Ward secretly formed when he was in hell. For this surprise attack, he almost took out all his belongings, a total of six sky cities, three large airships, eleven medium airships, twenty-nine small airships, and four thousand fireflying beast knights' forces!
However, although this fleet looks huge in scale, it can only be compared to the Northern Fleet of the Silver Federation. If there is a real decisive battle, there is no doubt that Ward's fleet will be completely crushed by the other side.
However, although Ward was crazy, he was not stupid. He knew that his fleet could not compete with the other party, but he still dared to launch this plan because his owner had a secret weapon that could turn the disadvantages around. It was another key element besides the surprise attack...
"Very good! Issuing orders to all team members! Continue for two kilometers and stop moving, start determining the delivery coordinates, and at the same time, each delivery team begins to make final preparations!"
During this surprise attack, Ward and his staff planned for a long time, and even began planning before the start of the Lunar Eclipse War. After a long period of discussion and disputes, combined with the opinions of some players who hold military positions in reality, the plan was finally confirmed...
First of all, the surprise attack must be launched on weekends, preferably the time when the Silver Federation Northern Fleet is unprepared, and must be highly confidential. Even the commanders of each departing fleet can only know the target of the attack thirty minutes before departure.
Secondly, it is the route of travel. In order to ensure suddenness and concealment, Ward divided the fleet into two attack formations, one along the Kuandian Swamp line, and the other along the gray and hills line. This not only reduces the scale of the formation and reduces the risk of being discovered, but also allows for a smooth withdrawal from the Federation after the attack is completed.
Furthermore, the main target of the demon's attack (also the focus of the dispute) was confirmed as the main force of the Silver Federation's Air City and the large airship according to the opinions of most people. Although some people, especially the players, believed that the focus should be placed on those magic crystal storage warehouses and repair factories, the demon lords refuted it for various reasons. Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Ward recognized the Demon lords' plan and set the main purpose of the attack on the main force of the enemy, only requiring the front line command to try to attack the infrastructure as much as possible if the situation allows.
The demons also developed special weapons for this attack, a bomb that can paralyze the anti-gravity field of Sky City and a large number of heavy-duty crushing bombs (to destroy the external armor of the airship), and reorganize and train the Firefly Beast Knights, especially the ability to dive bomb at low altitudes.
Also, the issue of attack waves is also a major focus of the debate. Some people believe that they should concentrate their efforts to completely defeat the opponent with one wave of offensive, but many people think that it should be divided into two waves, because after the first wave of attack is completed, the attack target can be appropriately revised according to the effect of the attack. At the same time, there are three waves and four waves... Basically everyone has their own opinions, so after thinking for a long time, Ward personally made a decision to "temporarily" set the attack waves to two waves, which means that the front-line commander has the right to increase or decrease the attack waves when "necessarily". (This is also one of Ward's few defeats in this attack)
Of course, the reconnaissance work before the attack is essential and even determines the success or failure of the entire plan. According to the results of the discussion, half an hour before the attack will be launched, a small group of troops will be sent to investigate the enemy's defense in the port of Carrenos. If it is found that the enemy is not prepared, the first wave of offensive will be launched immediately, first use the Firefly Beast to conduct a low-altitude raid, and then use the True Away Force. If the enemy is already prepared, use the True Away Force to disrupt the opponent's deployment, and then use the Firefly Beast Knight to conduct an air strike.
In short, everything must be carried out in secret, and a raid must be launched before the sun rises completely. This is a huge challenge for the frontline commanders, because there are too many things that need to be decided on the spot. In order to ensure the implementation of this plan, Ward deliberately rejected the opinions of all the demon lords and handed over the command of the entire formation to the players. The commander of this Hell Joint Task Air Mobile Fleet is Ward's most trusted player general Jin Jin. At the same time, he is also the commander of the first attack formation, and the commander of the second attack formation is Jin Jin's comrade-in-arms. In reality, he is also a talented young captain Wu Xu. With the two staff officers and staff, the total number of players in the entire joint fleet is no more than forty, which is also an important measure to increase confidentiality.
"General, the reconnaissance team sent intelligence, and the enemy was unsuspecting!"
The flagship of the first attack formation and the flagship of the entire joint fleet [Chiyun City] were completely busy. A large amount of communication and intelligence gathered here and forwarded to various sky cities and airships. Jin Ni, wearing a red general uniform, was standing on the command ship platform with high spirits, and finalizing the final steps with the staff around him.
"Okay! Notify the second attack formation and prepare to launch the first wave of offensive!"
After listening to the report of the intelligence team, Jin Qi immediately issued a preparatory order to the second formation, but soon a staff officer frowned and walked to him.
"General, the second attack formation..."
"What's wrong?"
"That... General Wu Xu modified the originally scheduled attack target."
"What!?"
No wonder Jin Zi was so angry, because this attack was almost determined repeatedly by the top leaders of the Hell, and it almost reached the target of each air raid team. For example, his first attack formation, a total of three Sky City, two large airships, six medium airships, and eleven small airships. It carried more than 2,300 Firefly Beast Knights in total, and divided into ten air raid teams, mainly attacking the battleship-type air city of the Silver Federation [Ritz City], [Kassadin City], [Kalsas City], [Fertic City] and [Visin City], and there are also a number of airships, docking squares, repair shops, etc.
But now the commander of the second formation has changed the target of the attack without authorization, which has caused the entire raid plan to fall into a certain amount of chaos.
"Bastard! Who told him to do this? Immediately order him to follow the original plan!"
"General, now... I'm afraid it's too late."
Hearing the staff officer say this, Jin Qi immediately forgot the clock on the wall, which showed that it was already 5:55, and a group of attacking troops in the first formation were likely to have set off.
"Oh! There's nothing I can do, I can only hope that there will be no big mess."
The plan is still running, but there is another scene in the city of Carrenos...
"Hello, have you got any advanced reels recently?"
As the largest warning post north of Carrenos, the Squirrel Outpost can almost be regarded as a small village. Of course, the magic equipment in this village can probably buy ten villages. In order to maintain the efficiency of the warning post, the outpost will also recruit some [temporary workers] from time to time, and these [recruitment notices] are generally called [questions] by players.
"Tsk! It's also a high-level scroll. Last time I went to do a task for an old mage who is said to be a member of the parliament. As a result, I was exhausted and gave a Explosion Fireball Strengthening Scroll, which only added 10% of the damage! I went, I couldn't even pay for the potion."
"It's not bad."
Sitting bored on the chair, looking at the dense surveillance magic balls around, the two players who accepted the [question] talked about some inexplicable home-style words as before, and had no sense of war at all. Perhaps their long-term mage career has made them, like most people in the Federation, believe that there is no power to dare to touch the federation's anger.
"Have you heard that? I just heard that someone saw the demon's flying troops in Kuandian Swamp."
"Hey, maybe it's a demon player, do you believe it?"
"I? Do not believe it or not."
Beep beep beep ~~
Suddenly, just as the two were chatting, several highlights of shadows suddenly appeared on the surveillance magic ball.
"Huh? It seems...is there's something?"
"Uh... do you want to report it? But it seems to have disappeared again."
"Or what if I forget it? Maybe it's just some flying creatures or something..."
After talking for a while, the two decided not to report this "accidental fault" to the above, but after they continued to chat for more than half an hour, the magic balls in the entire monitoring room began to ring!
"Not good! It's really an enemy attack!"
"Report, report! Go and report to the above!!!"
When the two left the monitoring room in panic, the translucent magic balls were already covered with countless highlights.
"General Jinxian! The first raid troops of the second attack formation sent a communication!"
"read!"
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
"Okay! The big thing is settled! All the Firefly Beast Knights are ready! After the first wave of offensive ends, immediately open the door to the fastest another world and launch the second wave of offensive!"
At 6 o'clock on August 2, 1034, the [Carenos Incident] broke out. Hell and the Air Mass Fleet launched a raid on the Northern Air Mass Fleet of the Silver Federation in the early morning. Hell sent a total of six Sky City, carrying more than 4,000 Firefly Beast Knights and unknown devils. The troops divided into two groups to launch two waves of attacks on Carenos.
In order to make the sudden attack, the demon not only did enough confidentiality work, but also developed tactics that had been carefully studied for a long time. The Sky City carried a huge source of the Gate of Another World. After entering the border of the Silver Federation, it opened the main gate of the Gate of Another World, and then expanded the reverse gate outside the city of Carrenos, at several long-established assembly points.
This was an unprecedented innovation. The Sky City was hundreds of kilometers away, but the troops arrived at the attack position through a temporary two-way portal, almost making the demon's attack reach a speedy and thunderous level.
The Silver Federation was not prepared at all before, and the alert was extremely loose. Because it was a weekend, a large number of crew members were still sleeping in or having fun. The Sky City and the airship were all fixed above the docking floor, and the gargoyles were not even activated. All of this also indicates the occurrence of a disaster...
At 6:10, the first batch of air raid teams arrived. The demon knights drove the firefly beasts filled with bombs and broken bombs, and began to attack the Sky City and airships on the docking floor, and began to use the [Magnet Destroy Bomb] to destroy Sky City anti-gravity equipment. However, the number of troops in the city was different from the original estimate. There were only nine battleships in the Sky City, and the other three were unknown.
At 8:40, the first wave of attack ended, and the second wave of attack troops arrived. At this time, the entire Karenos had basically been paralyzed. Almost all the City of Sky fell to the ground. Airships burned one by one and exploded. A large number of gargoyles were blown up before they were activated. The devils were unscrupulously destroying everything that could be destroyed. Some mages tried to resist, but they had little effect. [Carth of Kalsas] was hit in the magic shell storage room while trying to start, and the entire City of Sky was instantly blown into two halves!
At 9:45, the second wave of attack ended, the demon began to retreat, and the Silver Federation began to guard the entire territory and tried to search for traces of the fleet, but it was too late.
In this raid, the demons' achievements shocked the entire Yashan. The northern air maneuver fleet of the Silver Federation suffered serious losses, and all nine sky cities were severely damaged, including four sky cities, nine large airships, thirteen medium airships, and four small airships were permanently damaged, about 10,000 gargoyles were destroyed, and more than 2,000 mages died.
However, the demon party only lost fifty firefly beast knights and three devils!
Everyone, all players, remembered the day of the Seven Dragon Chronicle August 2, 1034, and remembered the morning filled with smoke...
Because on this day, the entire Asan was awakened by the explosion from Carrenos!
Chapter completed!
