Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2153 - 665: Life Is Unpredictable
The Forgotten Valley, known to contemporaries as the Aegean strategic valley, has a highly abstract geographical environment.
Extending east to west are two colossal, continuous ridges forming a long and narrow basin, with the north-south orientation tightly pinched off by the high mountains and dense forests of the Vaden Mountain Range and the only marshy stretch of the Alps Wetland.
The two highlands made of rocky hills are roughly equal in length, both stretching over a hundred miles. The eastern highland has an elevation of about forty meters, while the western highland is higher, at approximately eighty meters.
The "Wall of Sighs" of the Human race and the "Coral Sea Defense Line" of the Sea Clan are both cast on either side above the midpoint of this eighty-meter highland slope—recently, the Sea Clan army suffered heavily here due to the unfavorable terrain, with each attack on the "Wall of Sighs" requiring their warriors to first cross a high slope and a deep valley, then climb uphill at a thirty-degree angle! Due to the humans’ scorched earth tactics, they couldn’t find any cover during their charge to rely on.
In contrast, the human army attacking this eighty-meter rocky highland from the Kalimdo plains had a slight advantage compared to the initial deployment of the Sea Clan army from the Alps Wetland. Their warriors, at least, didn’t need to cross a highland and a valley first, only facing the high ground disadvantage—an eighty-meter elevation difference might seem insignificant on paper, but in actual battle, it’s an intimidating height. This not only means the attackers face constant burdens during their uphill charge but also allows the defenders’ long-range heavy machinery and mage regiment to have an uninterrupted fire cover from above, significantly improving their strike accuracy due to the broader field of vision.
The Sea Clan’s newly reconstructed "Coral Sea Defense Line," built with solid coral reefs in a complex geometric structure, sprawls above the mid-slope, surrounded by deer stones and chevaux-de-frise. Inside are dwarf battlements at two meters high; defensive structures like watchtowers, arrow forts, and mage towers are all fully equipped, and the highland summit is dotted with platforms armed with numerous ballistae and catapults, watching vigilantly below.
The vast mage and military array put together by Seia and Ares from the two oceanic empires made it virtually impossible for humans to regain initiative in the Forgotten Valley. However, this impossibility turned into a reality due to Rommel’s unexpected intervention!
After losing the "Wall of Sighs Defense Line," the indignant human army relentlessly launched a three-day-and-night desperate counterattack without regard for consequences, yet made no advances, instead wasting a large amount of precious manpower.
Today, the human army suddenly halted and presented in ceremonial formation as if to welcome some distinguished figure, giving the exhausted Sea Clan warriors a much-needed respite.
But unexpectedly, the human army launched a full-scale attack without any warning!
There were no formations, no attack waves, no reserves, no sequence. All human warriors, in the smallest combat units and skillful tactical maneuvers, charged at the "Coral Sea Defense Line" chaotically like a swarm of stirred bees, yelling wildly—so sudden! Battle-hardened veterans, with a sharp sixth sense for combat, would have detected any unusual atmosphere if the enemy had planned an attack. Still, the Sea Clan veterans had no such premonition today!
In a conventional battle, such dense and chaotic hill charges by the human army would undoubtedly face an upfront spell barrage from combined magic, causing severe and massive casualties! But today, the Storm Splitter sorcerers on the "Coral Sea Defense Line" had been entirely withdrawn, leaving just a few Storm Sorcerers guarding the Forgotten Valley, unable to intercept the full line assault of the human army effectively!
The Sea Clan’s military staff and tactical advisors immediately realized their army had fallen into a trap. From afar in Sabak, His Majesty Beckenbauer had just issued twelve consecutive gold commands, saying that the human mage troops had reached the Beamon capital, launching a magical saturation attack on the Hai Mu Corps, and must muster Storm Sorcerers to fully engage! Meanwhile, over the western sky of the Forgotten Valley, fleets of zeppelins and giant flying beasts came swarming murderously, carrying the sounds of magical incantations and spells. Who else could they be but human mages?
"I love you, Demon Clan!" Liu Zhenhuan hoisted the Osteo Mini Cannon, his "Wings of Starry Sky" shimmering brilliantly as he flew toward the Forgotten Valley Front Line, feeling grateful in his heart.
If he hadn’t obtained a batch of bone-link treasure boxes from the Demon Clan earlier, the human army would not have made battle preparations in such a short time—Marshal Sidov indeed lived up to his legendary reputations, even picking out Rommel’s distraction strategy from Liu Zhenhuan’s anxious expression before he had a chance to speak!
Thus, an unprecedented spectacle in the history of Aegean warfare unfolded. Over a million human warriors, under the simplest and most direct attack orders, abandoned organization and discipline, fighting as individuals, launching a wave-like full-on assault on the Sea Clan defense line! Knights with ribbons and medals on their uniforms and shiny spurs became the fastest assault units! Over two million armstrapped human troops, ready for battle, rushed out of their camps, dumbfoundedly watching the vanishing backs of their comrades in amazement.
