Chapter 417: Chuckle

In the palace of Ailan Hill, while a banquet was going on, in a small town near the Gushan Defense Line on the front line of the Puppet Empire, a magician of the Puppet Empire reluctantly lost the parts in his hand. On the table.

Beside him is a puppet soldier next to each other. These puppet soldiers are all damaged and can no longer be used. They were transported back from the front line, stacked here, and used as parts.

The puppets are also worn out, and they cannot move indefinitely. As the war on the Gushan front became more and more intense, the loss of these puppets was also increasing.

If it is too late to repair or retreat, these puppets can only be used as spare parts and stored here to repair other puppets.

The magician looked at the puppet parts on the table in front of him helplessly, and complained dejectedly: "The joints of these puppets are also very badly worn. Just find a good one and remove it and replace it with another puppet. It will last a few days. ?"

The other magician sitting across from him shook his head, removed the scrapped magic spar from a puppet, used it as energy, and threw it at his feet, and comforted him: "It can last for a few days, right? ...... It’s all like this now, what else?"

These puppets are not new, and some puppets can still find holes in their bodies. Some puppets still have shrapnel inserted in their bodies, and some have been damaged.

In the past, such puppets were directly scrapped, but now, the puppet empire, which has gradually been scarce of resources, has to recycle these things to support frontline operations.

"I'm going to eat soon." The complaining magician stretched out and stopped dismantling the remains of the puppets, and said: "Since yesterday, the food supply has been halved. How can people eat this? Half of the dried vegetables! Half of the bread!"

"Some of them are good. I heard that some troops have no food to eat." Another magician who just walked into the house put a wreck of a puppet in his arms on the ground and sneered. Said.

The comforting magician sitting across the table also laughed and said, "Yes, some food is good... As soon as we have dinner these days, Ailan Hill has started shelling the front line. We are in the back. It’s okay, but the frontline is uncomfortable even eating!"

As his voice fell to the ground, there was a deep sound in the distance. It was like a thunderstorm in the sky, making people involuntarily flustered.

Immediately afterwards, such a thunder blast came next to each other, and finally became one piece, and there were no more counts.

"Really on time, the shelling started again." The magician who entered the house holding the puppet remains sighed with emotion, turned and walked back to the door.

The Gushan line of defense has persisted to the present. It is not so much a miracle of the puppet empire's defense, as it is that Ailan Hill is intentionally compressing his losses.

They are changing into new troops to train these soldiers, so that these soldiers have more actual combat experience, in order to hone their teams.

Under the influence of this tactic, the solid mountain front line withstood the attacks of Ailan Hill again and again, as if it really stood firm in the storm.

But everyone knows that at least the puppet empire personnel on the Gushan defense line know clearly that the reason why they have not been wiped out is that Ailan Hill did not attack with all their strength.

Recently, the main force of the Ailan Hill Empire is bypassing the Gushan Line of Defense and attacking the further East River and Trier. The line of defense of the Puppet Empire retreats and retreats, basically it can be described as defeated.

Even the high-levels of the Puppet Empire estimated that the front line could only support it for another two months at most. Now that the time has passed more than ten days, it is clear that the collapse has begun.

Supporting two months is not really able to stay on the ground for two months. The initial stage of the battle is often a stalemate stage. By the mid-term, the defeat of one party is inevitable.

Now, the front line of the puppet empire is already in the early stages of the rout. Almost all the troops are retreating, and only some of the fortresses and main positions are still resisted by established troops.

After more than ten days, these stubborn troops will be divided and surrounded, cut off supply links, and a huge collapse will be a matter of course.

Then, in the remaining month, it was "garbage time" for Ailan Hill to sweep the battlefield and annihilate the rest of the puppet imperial troops that were unable to form an army.

Of course, the puppet empire can't sit still. They are trying to shrink back the troops that attacked the Norma Empire and the Eternal Empire, with the intention of establishing a new line of defense along Hedong and Trier.

It's a pity that because of Airenhill's air force bombing and Airenhill forces biting and delaying, the retreat speed of these puppet forces is really a bit slow.

To the northwest, the main force of the puppet troops that occupied the capital of the Eternal Empire is still fighting hard in the area of ​​the capital of the Eternal Empire at this moment.

The puppet troops attacking Normagas, the capital of the Norma Empire, were also bitten by Bourgeos’ 5th Army Group. They could only retreat at a speed of a few kilometers per day, basically no different from standing still .

The unfavorable situation of the Puppet Empire, of course, can't deceive the parties on the front line. These magicians on the front line have already seen that the battle is very unfavorable.

Earlier, food could be supplied in full every day, but such a supply could not be done more than ten days ago.

The new puppets at the rear cannot supplement the front line, and the losses of the frontline puppets are still increasing. This happens continuously, and the idiot knows that the situation is not good.

"When is the end..." The magician sitting at the table shook his head pessimistically, and resumed his work.

He didn't want to go to the front line to participate in the battle. It was actually very good to find such a job to dismantle the puppets. Earlier, he had personally seen those battle magicians who came back from the front line.

These people were dusty and exhausted, and many of them still had wounds on their bodies, and their faces were gray and defeated. You would know that they were defeated without asking, and they were defeated miserably.

The magicians who came back intact or slightly injured are still lucky. Many magicians go to the front and never come back. There are also some magicians, although they have returned, some of them have stayed on the battlefield forever.

Those magicians with broken arms and legs screamed and were sent back to the rear hospital. Because of poor sanitation, few of these magicians survived, and most of them would die from wound infections.

Those who survive by fluke are also tortured, leaving a lifelong disability in the end. Life is worse than death, and the end may not be better than death.

The magician who wanted to leave stopped, opened the door of the room and pressed his hand on the door, and encouraged his companions: "The troops attacking the Norma Empire are trying to retreat, but the speed of their retreat Very slow... We stay here just to meet them."

"Take them? Who will take us?" Put the elbow joint of a puppet soldier in the spare parts box and put it together with the other elbow joints. The magician who had been working shook his head and asked helplessly. Said a sentence.

Now that this war is fought, everyone actually doesn't care about the ending. What they care about is whether they can live to see this ending...

The magician standing at the door shook his head, this time he really opened the door and walked out. On the opposite side of the house, parked a puppet tank full of branches.

After being bombed for so long, the air defense consciousness of the Puppet Empire, or the desire to survive, has become very strong. They invented all kinds of disguise, but the effect can only be said to be average.

The puppet tank disguised as a tree had been sent here for several days because of a malfunction, and because it had no suitable parts, it could only be stopped there immobile.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that if they were left unused for two days, this puppet tank, which was only a little broken, would be completely scrapped.

As soon as the magician walked out of the house, a large-caliber cannonball screamed and hit the dirt road in front of him, and then a huge explosion engulfed him.

The people in the room hadn't realized what was going on, and the indestructible shock wave knocked down and shattered the walls of the room, flying away the wreckage of the puppet and several magicians inside.

The farthest magician subconsciously used the magic defensive barrier, but before he could finish casting the spell, he was pierced by countless sharp puppet parts.

Farther away, several magicians saw that the village was hit by a cannonball. They dropped their work and ran away. They did not dare to stay until they confirmed that only one cannonball had fallen. In the village, he hurried back to save people.

In fact, there is nothing to save. The house has long been out of shape. The people in this room were buried under the rubble. They were finally digging out, and they were all breathless.

The magician at the door couldn't even find his bones. There was only a circular crater with a diameter of more than ten meters in the place where he was standing.

"A 283mm railroad artillery shell from Ailan Hill... This is old equipment. Ailan Hill doesn't use it much. I guess this time, I just want to clean up the stock of ammunition." A puppet empire The officer of, looking down at the crater at his feet, said calmly: "These people are just unlucky... the other party may just enter the wrong aiming parameters..."

"Three magicians were killed...I have another report to write." The senior magician who was in charge of these magicians stood aside, not knowing whether he was feeling sorry for the deaths of a few people or writing more reports for himself. Sad.

However, the other magicians are more or less delighted in their hearts, because their dinner today may have more portions...
