MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 717 : First half (6)
Ivy, with gauze wrapped around his head, sat silently on the main seat, and so did the others. The atmosphere in the Imperial Army headquarters was very dull.
The magic base of the Mage Guild is said to be the second headquarters of the Imperial Army. It has gathered a large number of mages and high-level officers, and its importance is self-evident.
However, such an important position was directly destroyed by the Silver Moon Kingdom!
After a long time, Ivy took the initiative to say: "This time, it was my command error."
Thinking of the mage who died in the shelling yesterday, his heart was bleeding. The magic base can be rebuilt if it is gone, and the high-level officers can be promoted after they die.
But cultivating a mage requires not only time, resources, but also luck. Not everyone has the qualifications to become a mage. The birth of every mage is a one-in-a-million probability!
The mages who can be recruited to the battlefield are basically at the high-level and master level. This time they conquered the Silver Moon Kingdom. There were only a total of more than 200 mages on their side. Yesterday, nearly 150 of them were killed in one breath. This kind of loss Even for the empire, it is unbearable.
Seeing that Ivey took the initiative to take responsibility, an officer quickly comforted him: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, please don't blame yourself. If you ask me, the Silver Moon Kingdom is too cunning this time to spread rumors on purpose!"
The first front line of the Silver Moon Kingdom fought so fiercely before that there was no support from the artillery unit. All of them thought that the artillery unit of the Silver Moon Kingdom had been completely wiped out.
Who knows, they still have a special hand...
Ivy shook his head and sighed: "A misjudgment is a misjudgment. This is a battlefield. From the very beginning, I made the mistake of underestimating the enemy."
In the previous battles, Graton's command level on the battlefield has always been quite satisfactory, and it is purely to the point where anyone can do it. In addition, he has no reputation, which made him mistakenly think that the commander of the Silver Moon Kingdom is mediocre. generation.
The reason why the battle loss ratio is so exaggerated is that the new army's combat quality is extremely high.
But now, the magic base has been destroyed, and a large number of mages and officers have died in battle. This is the price he paid for underestimating the enemy!
Ivy looked at the crowd and said: "This meeting of the legion commanders is just to ask everyone, how should we fight next?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to speak. The silver moon kingdom's alchemy weapons crushed the traditional army's combat methods in all aspects. This is not a problem that can be solved with a pat on the chest.
Without special forces to participate in the battle, no matter how many people are sent there, they will die!
Seeing the silence of the crowd, Ivy was a little disappointed. He was not disappointed with the incompetence of these people, but disappointed with the current empire.
This dragon-like kingdom exudes decay everywhere. The Blue Kingdom is changing, the Silvermoon Kingdom is changing, and even the Mage Union and the Alchemy Union are changing.
Only the empire, like a stubborn old man, still retains the system and combat methods of more than 6,000 years ago.
It is precisely because of this that they are helpless against the current Silver Moon Kingdom.
Ivy thought for a while, and looked at the person in charge of the Alchemy Union: "Master Galil, can your alchemy mecha be used in this war?"
The magic base of the Mage Guild has been destroyed, and it will take a lot of magic materials to rebuild it, and a considerable number of mages will be needed to operate the base.
Whether it is transporting spell materials or recruiting mages from the empire, it takes a lot of time.
In particular, the death of a large number of mages in battle will make unofficial mages in the empire resist this war. After all, no one wants to waste their precious lives.
As a mage who can get along anywhere, the empire is not related to them, and they have not benefited them, so why should they work for the empire?
Therefore, if you want to continue this fight, the best way is to get help from the Alchemy Union.
Galil bit his nails and replied casually: "Of course, as long as you can buy it!"
Almost all the members of the Master's Union were wiped out, and the relationship between supply and demand has changed. Now they are the dominant family of the Alchemy Union, so he can't make it up to Ivy anymore.
Of course, the real reason was that he didn't think the empire was really rich enough to buy all the dozen or so alchemy mechs he brought.
Thinking of the price of the alchemy mecha, Ivy twitched his mouth: "Master Galil, those mechas are too expensive, can you give me the lowest price?"
Galil shook his head: "Impossible, what I gave you is already the cost price!"
In order to develop these alchemy mechs, the alchemy guild has spent a lot of time, but they have not been able to mass-produce them. This time, the alchemy mechas were put into the battlefield to recover some of the capital.
The cost of materials alone for an alchemy mecha is nearly 50,000 gold coins, not counting labor costs and other costs.
Therefore, what they give is really cost price.
Ivy was silent. No matter how rich the empire is, it would never be able to afford the cost of these alchemy mechs, so he turned his head to look at the magic consultant: "How long will it take to build the magic array again and put it into battle?"
Riley, the magic consultant, replied: "It will take three months at the earliest!"
A three-month truce? Still... Ivy turned to look at Galil.
Noticing Ivy's gaze, Galil seemed to have thought of something, and replied in a flat tone: "You don't have three months. When we came, we encountered orc wolf cavalry."
"What, the wolf cavalry of the orcs!" After saying this, the faces of the senior officers changed drastically, and the headquarters began to discuss like a frying pan.
The northern border of the Silver Moon Kingdom is basically flat except for the Ye Lin River.
In the plains, the orc wolf cavalry came and went like the wind. Once their supply line was cut off, the situation of these people would be very delicate.
Some officers asked: "Why are the wolf cavalry of the orcs behind us?"
Ivy took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "I'm afraid we all forgot that the Unfallen Fortress of Silvermoon Kingdom is still in the hands of orcs."
Yes, they have selectively forgotten about this matter, because before the war, everyone thought that the Silver Moon Kingdom would soon lose in this war of asymmetric strength.
Today's Silver Moon Kingdom is not a piece of **** that can be dealt with easily. On the contrary, this small country with an area of less than two provinces is quite difficult for the empire.
Once the two sides are dragged into a protracted war, the orcs of the Red Scorpion Khanate will definitely cut off the logistics supply line of the imperial army. If the battle situation continues to deteriorate, the orc royal court may directly intervene!
At that time, it will not be whether they can win the Silver Moon Kingdom, but whether they can go back alive.
The consequences of the cut-off of the supply line can't help but make people terrified. Some officers cursed: "It's the damned Silver Moon Kingdom again, rebelling against the empire and giving the Buluo Fortress to the orcs. Why don't they die!"
Ai Wei glanced at the other party coldly: "This is what we are doing now, but I ask you to remember that this world has always been based on strength, and cursing can't solve any problems. If you can't win the Silver Moon Kingdom in a short time , we will be the ones who die!"
After finishing speaking, Ivy stood up with a gloomy face, and looked at Galil: "Master Galil, it is absolutely impossible for the empire to buy such an expensive alchemy mech, why don't we use another method?"
Galil became a little interested: "Oh, tell me?"
In order to study these mechs, the current Alchemist Union is extremely short of money, so of course they can earn a little bit.
In the end, the two parties agreed to deliver the dozen or so alchemy mechs to the empire for use in the form of lease.
During this period, any damage, damage, or loss of the mech must be repaired or fully compensated by the Empire at its own expense.
Gathering the powerful mages together, Ivy asked Galil to give them simple training, and soon these steel giants were sent to the battlefield.
Although they are few in number, they are infinitely faster than rock golems, and it is difficult for fire teams wandering in trenches to hit them.
And don't look at the mecha's thin body~www.novelbuddy.com~ But it is made of special metal materials after all, and there are quite clever alchemy enchantments on various parts. Causes a small dent, not painful at all.
With the help of these mechas, the first front of the new legion quickly fell into a **** battle.
Seeing that the front line was in danger, Graton ordered with a gloomy expression in the headquarters: "Send five companies to support!"
They were lucky yesterday. Although the empire's spell attack disrupted the communication, it didn't directly hit the headquarters. It was just that the shock wave shook them severely, and things scattered all over the place.
The messenger quickly conveyed the order, and the reserve team, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly filled the front line, fighting with the imperial soldiers who rushed up.
Although these soldiers can suppress ordinary imperial soldiers, they can only be brutally killed in the face of the fast-moving, indestructible alchemy mechs that can release enhanced spells.
Seeing this scene, the Second Army Commander Galken couldn't help feeling a little regretful: "If there were some shells left yesterday."
It was because of his order yesterday that the artillery unit was exhausted, so the artillery shell reserves, otherwise they would not be helpless now.
Graton interrupted him directly: "Your judgment is very correct. When there is only one chance, we must go all out, otherwise we will be the ones who are strategically passive now!"
If the artillery hadn't destroyed the empire's magic array, what awaited them would be the destruction of the artillery and the threat of the entire army being attacked by spells.
Although today's artillery units can only stare blankly, this is only for a short period of time. When the armament supplies from the arsenal arrive, they can still use this strategic deterrence.
