Chapter 505: lifeless

The huge capital of the puppet empire, Burklan, a centipede city with a peculiar layout, curled up in a desperate situation surrounded by mountains and rivers, forming a huge circular city.

The head of the centipede city is the center of the city, and then around the head, the long centipede body is coiled up in a circle, and the tail becomes the outermost line of defense.

This line of defense is very distinctive. The huge centipede legs are neatly arranged, making the city look like a super huge gear from the outside.

Travis’ last reliance, Burklan’s city guards, and the last magic army of the Puppet Empire, are building fortifications outside this huge gear, although everyone knows that this is just a useless dying struggle. That's it.

Not to mention Ailan Hill's terrible artillery fire and powerful ground forces, that is, the Sky Fleet, which is enough to despair Telavish, who has no retreat.

Without the help of the devil, and without the vast strategic depth, Travis, who is fighting alone, is now a dead end, and there is no possibility of turning over again.

It's just that he himself is still unwilling to admit this. He has gathered all the troops he can find and put his so-called secret weapon on the front line.

In fact, the secrecy level of this so-called secret weapon is not too high. Many people know that this secret weapon is the Great Archon of the Holy Demon Empire who was fooled and lost his body.

He, or it, was made into a huge **** puppet by using the technology provided by the devil.

The **** puppet of this puppet empire has a huge body, can carry more magical energy, and can naturally use more powerful magic.

To put it bluntly, this is a super **** puppet of the puppet empire version. It has no powerful central processing unit and no core computer-aided functions. The super **** puppet of the puppet empire can only increase its size by increasing its size. Own combat power.

Similar improvements are actually very limited. The huge body allows the former great archon of the Holy Demon Empire to have more powerful power and magic reserves, but it also leaves the defect of huge goals and slow actions.

In addition to the 40,000 puppet soldiers, more than 30,000 city guards, and more than 20,000 so-called magical regiments—together, they barely made up a 100,000 puppet empire troops, and what they are facing is such an imposing force. Rainbow's southward army of the millions of Ailan Hill.

Before, when Ailan Hill's frontline troops were completely suppressed in terms of military strength, the puppet empire did not take the initiative in the battlefield.

Now they have only one-tenth of Ailan Hill's combat troops. If they want to stop Ailan Hill's footsteps, it is even more idiotic.

In an inconspicuous tent, two of Travis's apprentices were holding wine bottles with pale faces and drinking heavily.

They have lost confidence in this war, and can only use alcohol to numb their nerves, so that they can sleep for a while in every night that is not cold but makes them feel that the wind is biting.

"Drink! Drink! Tomorrow we will die here! Hiccup... We... Yes, we will be blown to the sky by a big bomb! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The big disciple carrying a hip flask was drunk, looking at those He didn't understand the sketch of the defense line at all, and grumbled with the sound of the explosion.

The two apprentices who sat across from him were also drunk. They were holding expensive glasses, which were smuggled to the cheap glasses produced by Ailan Hill of the Puppet Empire, with a bitter expression on their faces: "At the beginning...you said me. Why didn’t I learn magic from Marvin’s Magister? Haha! If I followed Marvin... I’m not going to wait for death here!"

The tongues of both of them were numb, and their speech was not clear at all. In addition, they are very drunk, so they are not chatting with each other at all, but are talking to themselves non-stop.

Although the two of them were unwilling to come to the front to command the last troops of this puppet empire, even though the two of them were indeed not "the hope of the whole village", they were finally sent to the front by Travis.

Because Travis doesn't have any cronies to support him, only students like them are left who can barely be trusted.

Travis also knew that the two of them were incapable, and had never commanded the army. Letting the two of them take the last troops to resist Ailan Hill, it was really a choice to find a dead end.

Therefore, Travis still handed over the troops to the original commander he did not trust, but he sent two of his apprentices to monitor the commander to ensure that he would not betray Travis, with These troops surrendered or fled.

Therefore, these two trainees of Travis do not have any command rights, nor do they need to participate in the transfer and command of any troops. They are just responsible for keeping an eye on the commander of this troop and judging whether the other party has any disagreements. Up.

It's a pity that as time passed, Ailan Hill's pressing footsteps got closer and closer. Two days ago, Ailan Hill's bombers greeted Burklan, who was no longer able to move.

After a limited attack destroyed some of Burklan's "centipede legs" and ensured that Burklan could no longer move, these bombers locked their targets on the Puppet Empire troops that were deploying defenses outside the city.

These bombers often visit the positions and destroy all targets they consider suspicious. The two sides have not actually fought, and the puppet empire has already lost tens of thousands of troops.

Yes it is! This data is not wrong, it is indeed tens of thousands! On the one hand, this loss reflects the scale and intensity of bombing by the Airenhill Air Force. On the other hand, it also shows the poor quality of the puppet empire's troops.

In fact, it is well understood that the forces concentrated by Ailan Hill here are the 3rd Army Group and other subsequent combat forces. The Air Force has more than 2,000 bombers of various types.

On average, for every 50 soldiers of the Puppet Empire, one bomber can be allocated to bombing. This proportion is already exaggerated.

On the other hand, on the side of the Puppet Empire, not only did not have any decent air defense weapons and equipment, even the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns they had equipped before were gone!

The composition of the troops stationed on the position is extremely complex. Tens of thousands of puppet soldiers are actually temporarily armed production puppets. Such puppet combat capability itself is low. Without relevant combat experience and skills, a large number of losses in bombing are not enough. Surprising.

In addition, the city guards of the Puppet Empire are all ordinary civilians. Most of them have not undergone rigorous combat training, let alone strong will and fighting spirit.

It's okay to let them stand in the city to maintain law and order, or make a pose to support the scene. Let them participate in the battle and contend with the battle-tested Ailan Hill troops, which is a bit taken for granted.

As for the Magic Legion... this force was not even at the level of an ordinary regular army in the puppet empire army two years ago! Now calling it the Magic Legion only talks about its frame, not its combat power...

Now there are very few magicians in this army, and even fewer can adapt to high-intensity combat. Once it encounters losses, it is very difficult for this unit to even replenish ordinary soldiers, let alone replenish magicians.

Just such a force, although there is air defense awareness, the air defense capability is almost zero, there is no camouflage experience, and there is no suitable cover-so the loss immediately after being bombed, and one tenth of the loss before the enemy is received. troops.

This afternoon, Ailan Hill's ground troops approached for investigation, and a small-scale battle broke out between the two sides.

An Ailan Hill scouting platoon accidentally crashed into a thousand-member army station in the Puppet Empire. Although this thousand-man army is not satisfied because of the end of the puppet empire, it is also a relatively powerful "main force".

More than 700 soldiers from the Puppet Empire besieged less than 30 Airan Hill scouts. After a fierce battle, the other side took the initiative to retreat, but the regiment of the Puppet Empire caused more than 70 casualties.

As a result, on the side of the Puppet Empire, apart from a bullet in one place, there was no decent result...

Such a huge gap in combat power made all the senior commanders of the Puppet Empire despair. Taking advantage of the darkness, the commander-in-chief of the Puppet Empire ordered the contraction of his defense line, abandoning the two outer defense lines originally planned to guard, and shrank his troops into the core position.

Moreover, the general returned to Burkland in person, requesting the Grand Magister of Travis to continue to recruit, mobilize everyone in the city, strengthen defenses, and deal with the enemy as much as possible.

Knowing that the situation was gone, Travis gave an order that all Burkran people must fight, but no one executed the order at all.

Many residents left Burkland from the other side, and the remaining people were also confused and uneasy, unable to control and command at all.

Before Ailan Hill attacked, plumes of black smoke rose up in the city-robbery and fighting broke out in many corners of the city. Once the magician entered the state of anarchy, the destructive power was more powerful than holding an automatic rifle. The rebellion army is almost small.

At night, the two people who had no hope for a long time sat in the tent to relieve their sorrows by drinking. They didn't even dare to use the oil lamp, for fear of attracting Ailan Hill's bomb.

In this way, through the moonlight, two drunks became unconscious one after another, and the "last armed force of the puppet empire" they supervised, fled by a third overnight!

The officers who restrained the troops fled with the troops under their command, and a hundred-man team fleeing the position organized by one hundred-man team.

The commander-in-chief who discovered that the troops were losing control, the general who was not trusted by Travis, did not even give any orders. He just stood in the moonlight, watching his adjutant and most of his guards disappear into the distant night.

Farther away, it has never been so dark. Burkelan, who hadn't even turned on a few decent lights, was lying across the night sky, lifeless and hopeless.
