Chapter 422: The role of title deeds

In the dim basement, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous magic robe but not trimmed sat in his place, staring blankly at the huge map of the local theater in front of him.

He is the Rudolf Magister, the commander-in-chief of the Gushan Fortress, and is responsible for commanding the nearby army of more than 300,000 puppets and the magician army of more than 300,000 puppet empires.

This number sounds scary, but in fact this force is not as powerful as imagined.

Because 300,000 puppet soldiers actually have no combat effectiveness, they are just cannon fodder, they are just a make-up existence.

And the remaining 300,000 magician army is not the real magician army that was once invincible.

In this army of 300,000 people, more than 30,000 are low-level magicians recruited from the Eternal Empire and the Holy Demon Empire, and their combat effectiveness is actually not strong.

Among the remaining 270,000 people, there are more than 200,000 ordinary soldiers from the Puppet Empire and other magic empires. These soldiers do not have the ability to fight magic. They rely on Mauser 98k rifles and some individual bazookas. And anti-aircraft guns and other weapons.

These weapons are the same type of weapons imitating Lanhill, and their powers are even more uneven. Therefore, these so-called magic legions, in fact, should be called "human soldiers legions" more accurately.

As for the remaining more than 70,000 magic legions, they are indeed the elite of the puppet empire, and some of them are indeed high-level magicians. However, compared with the magic legions at the beginning of the war, the overall strength of this force has also declined drastically. .

The real Magic Legion is actually the terrifying force that the First Army ran into in the Holy Demon Empire. It was a strong army that could fought with the most elite troops of Ailan Hill for a few hours, and almost broke through the defense line of the 1st Division.

That troop is the Magic Legion, a well-deserved Magic Legion. Now, such a magic army actually no longer exists. The magic army in front of you is just a magician army re-formed by a large number of magicians that have been supplemented.

They do not have heavy weapons such as magic war machines, nor do they lack the support of monsters such as giant dragons and magic snakes, and even advanced magicians are pitiful.

Pieces together, this force barely has a size of more than 70,000 people, but in fact there are children around 15 years old, as well as elderly people over 180 years old.

Many of the added magicians lack actual combat experience, and even many of them only engage in magic research on weekdays...

Such a magic army is actually very limited in combat power, and it is a problem to defend its position, let alone a decisive battle with the elite Ailan Hill main force.

Commanding such a force to stick to a fortress, with little reinforcements, and extremely scarce supplies, Rudolph the Magister felt that his clever woman could hardly cook without rice, and there was no hope.

In fact, his commanding ability is very average, and he is not a clever woman, but he feels good about himself and feels that he is a famous general in the world, so he thinks that he is a clever woman and it is hard for him to cook without rice.

In the past three days, he has lost about 10,000 puppet soldiers, but he only waited for 192 puppet soldiers to be resupplied from the rear... In this case, the troops he commanded were seriously declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. shrink.

Yesterday, more than 20,000 people were killed in the so-called Magic Army under his command. Ailan Hill did not open the net because the opponents were old, weak and sick, but stepped up the offensive and defeated the puppet empire.

In addition to the previous losses, there are only less than 300,000 troops left in the current Gushan Fortress. There are about 100,000 humans and 200,000 puppets.

Why are there so many puppet soldiers left? Because although there are few, there are successively puppet soldiers who can supplement them, but the human soldiers and the puppet empire can no longer supplement them.

The defectors from the Eternal Empire and the Holy Demon Empire, that is, the magicians who took refuge in the Puppet Empire, have no way to supplement.

And the magicians from the puppet empire could not withstand the consumption, and there was no way to replenish them on a large scale to the front line.

After all, the Puppet Empire has lost most of the area that produced cannon fodder. The Holy Demon Empire is now almost completely occupied by Ailan Hill. Although most areas of the Eternal Empire are still under the occupation of the Puppet Empire, there are few people who can volunteer to join the army.

No one is stupid. When the puppet empire is playing triumphantly, some speculators are willing to take refuge in exchange for better treatment.

But now, the puppet empire is retreating steadily. Everyone can see that Ailan Hill has the advantage. Isn't it ill to go to the puppet empire at this time?

"My lord! Lord Kluman retreated from the front line! His troops were almost lost, and the defensive positions on the northern periphery were almost lost..." A waiter walked in and stood behind Rudolph, who was sitting in a chair. , Reported a bad news.

The magic lights in the basement are extremely dim, giving people a sense of unreal despair and helplessness in the last days.

Rudolph the magister, who was only a short distance away from the grand magister, raised his head and looked at his attendant. His gray beard trembled slightly, and he asked unnaturally, "The outer position is lost? Why does he have the face to come back? Why do you still have the face to come back alive?"

"Isn't there still Shrek on the flank? There are still more than 10,000 soldiers..." The next second, as if he had caught some life-saving straw, Rudolph remembered that there was a strong general on the outer defense line. exist.

This commander is one of the top Titans in the Puppet Empire. His personal combat effectiveness is not bad, and he is also fierce and fierce in commanding operations. He performed very eye-catchingly in the previous operations against the Eternal Empire.

"Grand Mage Shrek...I heard that he...he committed suicide by taking poison." The waiter had an ugly face and replied softly with his head down.

"I heard?" Rudolph the Magister frowned, very dissatisfied with the uncertain news.

"Yes, I heard! The position in charge of Shrek Grand Mage lost contact not long ago. The last magician who came back said, Your Excellency Shrek Grand Mage, must coexist and die with his position." The waiter hurriedly replied.

"..." Upon hearing this news, the Rudolph Magister sighed, not knowing what to say, so he could only helplessly remain silent.

Another warrior who was loyal to the empire just withdrew from the stage of history and walked so quietly that not many people could even remember such a name.

In this world war, there are too many such fools or warriors. They perish in the corner, and their deaths seem to have not even splashed any historical ripples.

"The retreating person said that he prepared poison and took it after the magic was exhausted, saying that he was determined not to be a prisoner..." the waiter went on to explain.

He also heard these words, just heard them. It is impossible for him to see Shrek Grand Mage committing suicide and dying for his country, and it is impossible for him to verify the news anymore.

After all, that position is now the occupied area of ​​Ailan Hill, and anything that happens over there is a cloud of fog for the Puppet Empire.

Even if the great magician who committed suicide really committed suicide or surrendered, no one knew. Ailan Hill will not propagate, and there are no spies in the Puppet Empire wasted on detecting such news.

The waiter paused when he reached this point, and then continued: "Later, someone saw that Ailan Hill's troops occupied the high ground where Shrek the Great Mage was located..."

"No one saw him retreating back... So, so, it seems that the Shrek Mage, maybe, maybe, almost... is martyred." Seeing Commander Rudolph's face getting more and more ugly, the waiter said here. By the time, his voice was already low, even he couldn't hear him.

Without waiting for Rudolph Magister to say anything, the waiter raised his voice immediately, turned the subject away and asked: "Master Magister, Grand Magus Sam sent someone to ask, shall we fight back and try to regain the outer defensive position? "

"Counter-attack? I can't even fire the bullets of the frontline soldiers now. What can I fight back? Ah? What counter-attack?" Rudolph suddenly intermittently got up, slapped his hands on the chair arm twice, shouting angrily. Said: "Let Krumman go! Let him take the rest of him to fight back! Take back the ground he lost for me!"

"This...Isn't it possible?" The waiter hurriedly suggested, "Kluman...'s troops have just been defeated on the battlefield. Now forcibly letting them counterattack, I'm afraid it will cause mutiny!"

"They shouldn't have retreated! Why? Mutiny? They still dare not rebel? Let him fight for me! If he doesn't go, I will execute him!" Rudolf Magister ordered not to believe in evil.

The waiter touched his pocket, and Kluman bribed him a title deed to the centipede city of Burkelan. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It's better to send the troops of the Great Wizard of Sam, and the possibility of regaining the position is still Bigger..."

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that what the waiter said still made sense, and Rudolph the Magister shook his thoughts a bit.

It’s also the fault that the Puppet Empire’s military command system is too backward, so that the waiters dare to talk about this kind of command on Ailan Hill. This is the job of the staff. Which correspondent guard dare to give the commander a job. idea?

"Then let the Great Wizard of Sam lead the troops to counterattack...As for Kluman, let this **** reflect on it! If there is another time, I will execute him personally!" The Rudolf Magister finally felt that the waiter said it. Quite right, so he changed his order.

In his heart, he also repeatedly warned himself that he should not be swayed by anger and make any irrational decisions.

And the waiter who walked out of the room to pass the order, rubbed his fingers on the land deed, with a triumphant smile on his face.
