Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 83: No reinforcements have arrived
If the fortress sector is defeated before the Holy Light reinforcements arrive via the warp glide, then even if the Holy Light army, which has lost its positioning coordinates, arrives at the location, it will not be able to quickly defeat the Free Alliance army that has been broken into pieces. For this sector, Delta's defense line is the last hub. Once it is defeated, all the coordinates of the entire sector will collapse in the turmoil, just like a pool without an embolism being swept into the tide.
Holy Light was not unprepared for being backstabbed for so many years. There were unmanned guards and patrols of some vassal races. But it was difficult for Holy Light to consider how subtle the bottom line of human beings was. Even if he tried his best to think, he didn't know what kind of crazy arrangements the Free Alliance had made to balance the Holy Light and the devil. Almost the entire population was planted with addictive drugs with great defects. They did not use any particularly mysterious magic or technology, but used extremely primitive means to replace the guards layer by layer, every hundred years.
It was even foreseeable that if the Pale Crusade was not so fierce, the Free Alliance would have hit the Holy Light from behind like it had done countless times before. But the Holy Light Crusade was too early, and no one was prepared.
The Free Alliance, which had long been accustomed to the battle, didn't even have time to react. The entire demon front was torn apart like a rotten wood and rotten wood, and the area was nearly half of the historical record. This was only about a month after the Holy Light Expedition began, and in the past, wars that could reach this level would basically last for a year or several years to reach the current position. What's even more terrifying is that their speed seems to be gradually accelerating.
Not only did the demons fail to react, the Freedom Alliance was also unprepared. But even so, with far more manpower than the Holy Light, they still prepared for a wave of terror.
The Holy Light did not have much killing power against the Free Alliance, and most of the troops deployed on the perimeter defense line were peace-loving or believers in the Holy Light. On normal days, there was no problem, but after the Free Alliance's sneak attack, everything around was in trouble.
The endless stream of traitors and control methods was overwhelming. Many people were simply pulled out of their sleep by the alarm. The people who had been away from home for many years had no way to form a systematic resistance. If the Holy Light had not remained vigilant and the important checkpoints were guarded by mercenaries on patrol, the entire Delta planet would have fallen in an instant. However, this made the entire war zone more mysterious and even bloody.
The Witchwood area.
The fairies spent hundreds of years turning this place into a lush forest, a beautiful world like a fairy tale. Countless elves have exhausted their efforts for their ideal paradise, and even had to turn into flower buds to regenerate their souls. But it only takes a second to destroy the entire world.
The Free Alliance is very proficient in all kinds of dirty and blasphemous tactics in the world. They may not be the people who know these spells best in the world, but they are definitely one of the most proficient in them. They are very good at and very happy to use these filth to blaspheme those seemingly peaceful and peaceful pleasures. The low-end members of the Free Alliance are all disaster troops whose minds have been corroded. They have an instinctive hatred for any life and beauty. Even the goblins, a race that everyone loves, will be killed.
The entire Witch Forest was engulfed in flames as the Free Alliance fought recklessly. The steel giants didn't care about the surrounding mazes at all. Even if they fell, they would crash directly into the Witch Forest. Countless flames and explosions rose from the forest. Even though the little guys had already prepared for the war, such a cruel enemy still made them cry. All the goblins were sentimental poets. They watched their hometown being defiled by the steel monsters and bloody filth that fell from the sky. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable anger and deep hatred for betrayal.
It's not like they didn't fight back. The fairytale magic of the fairies could make Impatiens or Rafflesia mutate into a structure similar to a cannonball, and a single shot could blow up a landing ship. However, the Free Alliance, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly cast a no-fly barrier in mid-air, and the fireworks could only blast out a smear of golden light above, and then helplessly disappeared in mid-air.
"Has the witch's hammer been fully charged? Coordinates X413Y12445Z956, aim at the landing ship over there and smash it!"
"We are expected to be intercepted by the combined fleet's shield. The enemy's magic reserves are sufficient to resist the impact of the Witch Hammer... They have been preparing for this sneak attack for who knows how many years, so they still have a plan for this! We are doomed! Those monsters from the Free Alliance will capture and eat us all! They can do it!"
"It is because they can do it that we have to hold on! At least until the reinforcements arrive! The commander said that we only need to hold on for fourteen hours. After fourteen hours, we will be able to drive these monsters out of our homeland! By then, we will make a rule that no one can step into our forest even half a step! Only the allies of Holy Light can reach our homeland! These liars! Traitors!"
The elf, who was only the size of a human arm, angrily slapped a huge plant.
The plants that had been animated by the goblin magic made strange creaking sounds and slowly climbed up from the ground. Amid the goblins' exclamations, the man stood up and frantically waved his tree-trunk-sized vines in the burning forest, clearing a clearing in the blink of an eye. The intruder lay on the ground in a bloody mess.
But this also found a very standard target for the enemy's precision strike. The flower fairy standing in the open space was about to shout a victory cry, but was blown off by three shells, and then the continuous artillery fire immediately submerged it in a sea of fire. The little fairies manipulated the small fireworks in the forest and quickly traced the source of the ballistics to destroy the enemy's position, but the vine plant in the open space, which was already riddled with holes and burning with mud and flesh, was obviously dead, and soon collapsed into countless flowers and vines in the center of the fire, and gradually burned dry and withered around.
"That vine monster is dead! Keep pushing forward!"
"Whatever formation you choose, it doesn't matter! These little bastards have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. There's no need to cling to past teachings! Just kill them!"
"Pay attention to your teammates around you! If he goes crazy, just run! Let them kill the enemies!"
Looking at the fallen vine monster, the elves didn't have time to feel sad before all the soldiers of the Free Alliance rushed over.
These numb-looking soldiers, wearing sparse armor and holding weapons that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, continued to emerge from the subsequent airdrop pods and landing ships that fell or landed. They were just like a black mass of ants, quickly devouring the little green in the Witch Forest.
When the means of attack and defense are close to each other, no matter what means of struggle are used, it will eventually become a very tragic fight. Because each side has equipment and manpower to deal with the other side's super-class means, only by fighting with real swords and guns and using their lives can the final result be achieved. And obviously, the elves are not the best among them. They are sparsely populated and weak in combat power. After being discovered, they are often killed by a few bullets or blasphemous grenades.
But even in the face of a war with such a large army, the goblins showed unexpected resilience.
Even though the war had dragged on to the seventh hour, the goblins were still stubbornly carrying out various desperate resistances in the forest, constantly drawing the Free Alliance's troops into the most mysterious and magnificent forest on the planet, making it difficult for them to advance any further.
"Commander, Commander! We've been delayed for seven hours. Looks like we can delay even longer!"
"'You're doing great. What about the enemy?'"
"They are still searching for us like mosquitoes in a swamp! Don't be fooled by our weak appearance. We are very small and many detection methods cannot find us. So many of our partners are fighting behind enemy lines. Are we doing a good job?"
Two shocking holes were punched on the gorgeous crystal wings. The commander of the fairies hid in a small cave underground. Looking at the commander's cold face emerging from the flower bud, he smiled with a little smugness. This little smile looked very suitable on the childish faces of the fairies, but when thinking of the meaning behind this smile, no one would think of this silly smile as cute, but only respect.
"Of the 732 defenders of Mirror Lake, 616 have died, 44 have been captured and self-destructed, and the rest are conducting guerrilla warfare around Mirror Lake. All the thorn walls of Rose Highlands have been burned down, the tulip fields have been burned down, there are still a few rose cannons left, and the Witch Hammer cannon is still there. There are more than a hundred defenders left. They just sent me a message saying that they have prepared the assimilation barrier. When the enemy hits the garden statues, they will sacrifice themselves to give those artifacts spirituality so that they can continue to take on the defense mission. The earth elementals and tree spirits do the same."
"All the elf defenders have fled. They don't have any militia at all. They are all fraudulent sponsors. They have fled without a trace. We are the only ones left. There are probably only three-tenths of the strongholds in the entire Witch Forest defense line that have not been lost. But please rest assured, Commander, the promise we goblins made will never fail."
"The Holy Light allows our entire tribe to survive and reproduce here. As contracted elves, we must abide by the contract we have always made. So Commander, rumors have been heard from other lines of defense that some of the elves and mercenaries have rebelled, so please be more careful. In the subsequent Mountains of the Gods, the advance troops of the Free Alliance have arrived, and we really have no way to intercept everyone. But the Dwarf King has left me a message with the token he left behind, saying that he will hold on to the last moment, and even if the mountains of their ancestors are burned, they will insist on staying at their posts and waiting for destruction to come. But I don't think they can hold on longer than us. There are still fallen dwarves, but the goblins have never been fallen, okay?"
"Well, the message ends here, Commander. The enemy has already invaded the Fairy Tale Court. As the Fairy King, I will return to the throne to preside over the final defensive battle. There are not many defensive facilities and traps in the Fairy Tale Court. Even if I die, I can only delay the enemy for two or three hours. For the rest of the time, please let the dwarves of the Gods Mountain and the mercenaries on the last line of defense hold on. I know they are all afraid of death, but we are fairies. Fairies are immortal."
"So when everything is over, we will meet again in the flower fields ten thousand years from now."
"...I wish you a safe journey."
Looking at the Fairy King who was waving his soft little hands like a little girl of seven or eight years old and turning off the communicator with a smile on his face, the commander in the hall took a deep breath, as if something was burning his heart.
Fairies are the most common creatures in fairy tales. They are no bigger than a human arm, peace-loving, and like to play pranks, but they often bring laughter and fun to the people around them, and have a very friendly relationship with humans. Fortunately, although they have a friendly relationship with humans, the ancient Fairy King's Court ordered them not to live with any intelligent life and can only entertain themselves in the forest. The original policy of closing the country to the outside world showed an incomparable advantage at this moment.
But the price of this superiority is that in three hours, the entire Fairy Forest will be wiped off the map, and the Delta Fairy branch will disappear from the Fairy Catalog forever.
"...How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
"They were ambushed by the rebel fleet on the way. Although they quickly defeated the enemy, they still had twelve hours of warp glide time left."
"Twelve hours? No problem."
call.
The commander covered his face, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
The numb expression appeared on his face again. He looked at the red map indifferently and gave various orders with a cold expression.
"Disconnect all communications between the Fairy King's Court and the Fairy Forest. All communicators begin to contact the dwarves in the Mountains of the Gods. Open up the reserve energy reserves and unlock the checkpoints in the Mountains of the Gods."
"The Fairy King's Court has been designated as a no-contact zone. Any contact signals from within will be rejected to prevent the communication channel from being polluted."
"Begin taking over the dwarven communications lines now."
