When Odis arrived at the scene, he immediately raised the "Gus Staff". Then a tall and strong figure with a beard appeared, dressed in ancient clothes, and crashed into Dart, the demigod of the Kingdom of Feneport!
Mythological Magic: Angrily Crashing into Mount Buzhou!
At this moment, Atkins, the "Chaos Hunter" still hidden in the spirit world, made his move: "Imprisonment!"
A beam of black light descended, instantly thickening the air around the tall, imposing figure.
Ding~
To the surprise of both Atkins and Dart, the figure broke through Atkins's "imprisonment" and headed straight for Dart.
Dart assumed his companion's abilities were genuine and was preparing to use his extraordinary powers on Odis.
Seeing that the "imprisonment" had failed, he quickly dodged. Although he was not hit head-on by the tall figure, his arm was grazed by the opponent's sharp impact. He spun around twice and fell to the ground. The arm that was hit was also broken off and flew away.
Boom!
The illusory, tall figure crashed into a mountain, making it teeter on the brink of collapse before disappearing.
Atkins frowned and thought to himself: What kind of person is this?
It should be noted that even angels can be imprisoned by the Sequence 3 level "Imprisonment". Even if the original body of the character "recreated" by Odis is strong, it is still only a Sequence 3 level ability and should not exceed the range of the "Imprisonment" ability.
At this moment, Odis was thinking: My level is still too low, otherwise the Gonggong that was "recreated" would not have slowed down because of that "imprisonment".
Just then, a "bang" sound came from not far away. The positions of the two "extraordinary machine guns" fired simultaneously, and the battle officially began.
The Klicch Pass is a long canyon, and Remburg built a pass on the northern side of the valley.
Fenneport established a pass on the south side of the valley.
Both passes are currently in the hands of Feneport, because in the years before Odis came to Votheria, the garrison in Remburg withdrew due to supply difficulties, and Feneport took control of the passage into Remburg.
Although Odis later sent troops to garrison the area, he was unable to take over the pass that originally belonged to Remburg.
Therefore, in terms of terrain, Odis's armed forces were at a disadvantage in this battle. Feneport's army could launch an attack at any time, but Odis's "extraordinary puppets" would find it difficult to capture the two passes.
Odis's original plan was to wait until everyone had arrived the next morning, then bombard them with the "Spirit Wave Cannon" before letting the fearless "Extraordinary Puppet" charge forward.
However, the "Red Angel" evil spirit did not adopt this tactic. Instead, it ordered the "Extraordinary Puppet" camp to retreat, leaving enough space for combat.
When the first brigade of Feneport's army began its attack, the evil spirit "Red Angel" standing on the distant mountain peak did not order an attack. It seemed to politely wait for them to reach a wide position before allowing two of the "Extraordinary Machine Gun" positions to open fire.
The first brigade of the Fenneport Army had the most Extraordinary Beings and was well prepared for the enemy's intense artillery fire. They even had two magical "Guardian" items that blocked the storm-like barrage from two different positions.
Then, four extraordinary individuals of Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 levels, divided into two groups, launched a surprise attack on two artillery positions of the Lenburg army.
The evil "Red Angel" on the mountaintop grinned: "There are so many idiots these days!"
He then used his extraordinary abilities to command, "Afra, attack!"
"Prepare for the third and fourth artillery positions."
"The third and sixth extraordinary squads will go to support the first and second artillery positions respectively."
"Other extraordinary squads will advance from both sides, ready to strike at any moment."
At the location of the two "portable spirit wave cannons," the "Red Angel" evil spirit did not deploy any extraordinary power. Instead, she had Odis deploy an early warning system so that Odis could sense any unknown attack and immediately go to provide support.
However, in actual combat, this early warning system did not play a significant role.
Odis could go to whichever position fired at the enemy. Sure enough, he encountered two enemy demigods there.
Odis's task was to hold off these two demigods, which would mean half the victory in the war.
Each of the four "Extraordinary Machine Gun" positions is defended by an elite group of Extraordinary Individuals. The first artillery position is defended by two Sequence 6s, and the second artillery position is defended by two Sequence 5s.
The second and sixth extraordinary squads, commanded by the "Red Angel" evil spirit, consisted of two Sequence 5s and two Sequence 6s, respectively. Once they arrived to provide support, the two artillery positions would have an absolute advantage.
The core command in this arrangement was actually for the demigod Afra to launch an attack.
At this moment, there were no demigods in the first brigade of Feneport's army. Afra instantly appeared among the soldiers and took out a revolver with a long barrel.
boom boom~
A single bullet fired had the effect of a grenade launcher, blasting more than a dozen soldiers away.
The soldiers opened fire on her, but instead heard the sound of bullets hitting metal.
Afra appeared to be unharmed, while many of Feneport's soldiers were hit by their own bullets or ricochets.
Afra continued firing unhurriedly. When she fired the third shot, the surrounding soldiers began to flee in panic. At this moment, the extraordinary soldiers among the local troops rushed to their aid.
This was exactly the result Afra wanted: those extraordinary beings below Sequence 6 died in a daze before they even understood what was happening.
The Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 extraordinary individuals, however, clearly saw who had killed them.
But that's all. In the face of a demigod, an ordinary "middle-order" extraordinary being would not even have a chance to escape if they dared to fight against a demigod.
Afra's orders were to use her extraordinary power to kill as many enemies as possible.
Just as she was wreaking havoc, a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "Exile!"
McGill, the demigod who commanded Fenneport's army from the rear, came to the front line to provide support.
Afra was suddenly pushed away by an invisible force, her body became ethereal, and she felt herself drifting away from the real world.
At that moment, she raised her hand, and a vortex appeared in the air in front of her. She emerged from the vortex.
We're back in the real world.
On a distant mountain peak, the evil spirit "Red Angel" calmly gave the order: "Sixth Artillery Position, five rounds in quick succession, bombard the enemy camp!"
The so-called sixth artillery position is the "Lingbo Cannon" position that has not been exposed.
A dozen or so points of light suddenly rose into the air from the dark mountain peaks.
McGill, who had just arrived at the front line, was immediately drawn to the points of light. His eyes narrowed, because there was only one Sequence 5 in the camp at that time. McGill's order to him was that if there was still no progress at the front after he supported the front, or if the camp was attacked, he should immediately request support from the eastern front.
But it's obviously too late to ask for help now.
At the Fifth Artillery position, the "Spirit Wave Cannon" and "Extraordinary Puppet" were toppled and even shattered due to the demigod battle that took place here.
The three demigods who were fighting each had their own thoughts after seeing the dozen or so points of light.
Fenneport's two demigods were unaware that McGill, who had been left behind, had already gone to the front lines as instructed by the enemy commander.
They also felt that Lenburg's shelling had once again exposed an artillery position.
Odis, who had some knowledge of the "Red Angel" evil spirit's plan, was actually quite impressed with Medici's tactics.
If McGill doesn't provide support to the front lines, then all the extraordinary beings in Fenneport's first brigade will be wiped out by Afra.
The same thing happened to the subsequent brigades; a large number of extraordinary officers were killed, and ordinary soldiers were no match for the "extraordinary machine guns".
Therefore, given the tactics of the "Red Angels" evil spirit, McGill's support is inevitable!
It's not that this tactic was particularly brilliant, but rather that it leveraged the advantages of Odis's weapon system.
Odis's reason for striving to build his extraordinary power, especially his insane plan to elevate all five "book people" to demigod status, was because he knew very well that no matter how powerful the "spirit wave cannon" or other extraordinary weapons were, they were just extraordinary weapons to demigods, or rather, just decorations.
However, if the enemy does not have demigods, those extraordinary weapons will have a huge advantage.
The brilliance of the "Red Angel" evil spirit lies in its ability to fully utilize the advantages of extraordinary weapons, especially powerful tools like the "Spirit Wave Cannon," which can achieve great results against ordinary soldiers and even extraordinary beings below the level of demigods.
For example, right now.
Although the fighting at the front lines is in full swing, the terrain at Fenneport's camp is narrow, and only five brigades have been mobilized to the front lines so far. Meanwhile, five more brigades are assembling in the camp.
These five brigades will only take further action after the fighting on the front lines has yielded results.
McGill learned that enemy demigods had appeared at the front lines and that his own extraordinary beings had suffered heavy losses, so after going to provide support, command here was handed over to a Sequence 5.
In fact, the real commander of this battle was this Sequence 5.
This is standard practice on the battlefield; all demigods in the military camp must be able to leave at any time to provide support.
Therefore, unless it is a large-scale operation, the actual commander on the battlefield is usually one or more Sequence 5s.
At this moment, the Sequence 5 soldiers left behind in the military camp sensed danger upon seeing the point of light in the sky.
He quickly ordered, "Call for help—quickly!"
Boom!
Huge, continuous explosions echoed through the mountains, interrupting the commander's orders.
His subordinates didn't even have time to complete the call for help before the entire camp was engulfed in flames.
Whoosh~
The violent explosion shook the rocks off the mountains on both sides, burying many tents and soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, a violent shockwave spread through the valley, uprooting many large trees, rolling many boulders, and blowing ordinary people more than ten meters away.
Neither the dead nor the living understood what had just happened.
As the survivors looked around in bewilderment, feeling lost and unsure of their surroundings, the second wave of artillery fire reached the sixth artillery position.
Under the commander's orders, the "extraordinary puppets" loaded, chambered, and fired in perfect unison.
They were not loaded with cannonballs, but with "rapid-fire spirit-storing crystals" designed by Odis, which contained abundant spiritual energy, enough for one "spirit wave cannon" shot.
With these "spirit storage crystals", the "spirit wave cannon" has no time to rest.
However, loading and unloading these "spirit storage crystals" also takes time, so there are brief gaps between each round of bombardment.
On the battlefield of the three demigods, Odis and the others, the two demigods of Feneport were stunned by the sight before them.
Atkins, the "Chaos Hunter," used his extraordinary abilities to block a barrage of "Spirit Wave Cannon" projectiles. He could sense that the barrage was extremely dangerous, but he did not expect it to be so powerful.
The intense flames and smoke generated by the shelling shot straight into the sky, even higher than the surrounding mountains, and the earth trembled. Several valleys where Feneport's army was encamped experienced varying degrees of landslides.
Then came the second round of shelling, where almost no one would survive.
After the third and fourth rounds of shelling, the terrain there changed to some extent, and one mountain was even half-buried.
The two demigods realized that the war might be lost.
Atkins then produced a red button, a magical device for emergency contact with the Eastern Front, which could only be used in extremely critical moments.
And now, that moment has clearly arrived.
To his surprise, after pressing the red button, a clown doll suddenly popped out from in front of the magical item and emitted a series of mocking laughs.
Atkins paused for a moment, then heard Odis's voice, which was almost touching: "Surprised? Unexpected?"
This is of course Odis's ability, "Mythological Magic: Watching the Chess Game and Rotten Axe Handle".
Normally, Odis would not use this ability on extraordinary individuals of the same sequence because there is a high probability of failure. However, if the other party is attracted to something, using this ability will almost always be successful.
Just now, both of Fenneport's demigods were attracted by the explosion of the "Spirit Wave Cannon," so they immediately entered a state of "observing the game."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Odis stepped forward and used the "Iron Blood Gauntlets" to send Atkins flying. The opponent spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, already seriously injured.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit atop the high mountain peak, watching the distant explosion, remarked, "The power was not bad."
He then continued to issue orders using his extraordinary abilities: "Sixth artillery position, bombard along the enemy's marching route."
"Third and fourth artillery positions, sweep the enemy's vanguard!"
The third and fourth artillery positions were two "extraordinary machine gun" positions. Now that Feneport's vanguard was no longer protected by the two "Guardian" extraordinary properties, the shells that were fired immediately hit the crowd.
In an instant, a layer of blood mist formed in the valley, and screams rose and fell.
Fenneport's demigod McGill wanted to help the soldiers block the artillery fire from both sides, but he was held back by Afra and could only watch helplessly as rows of soldiers fell and were blown to pieces.
After suffering heavy casualties, defeat was inevitable.
Ordinary soldiers, without the protection of extraordinary individuals, are utterly unable to stop the "extraordinary machine gun".
Moreover, this weapon is incredibly devastating; if you are hit head-on by a shell, your entire body will be shattered.
If a limb is grazed by a shell, there is still a chance of survival; at worst, it will result in disability.
If the torso is grazed, death is certain.
Seeing their comrades turned into a pile of minced meat is not a pleasant experience and is enough to demoralize soldiers.
Soon, Fenerbah's first brigade abandoned a large number of bodies and withdrew back to the pass.
Only about a third of the people retreated. After their hasty retreat, they stared blankly ahead, as if they had just taken a stroll through the underworld.
Outside the pass, many people were still screaming in agony; many were seriously injured but not yet dead.
Those who still had some strength couldn't help but scream in agony.
Boom!
The distant sound of artillery fire seemed to be slowly approaching. Then everyone heard it coming from the southern pass...
It sounds like shouting.
As the fire from the "Lingbo Cannon" extended, two of the four brigades behind it had already been destroyed.
The bombardment by the "Lingbo Cannon" was thorough. After two rounds of bombardment, not only were the soldiers of Feneport destroyed, but the roads at the bottom of the valley and the trees and flowers on both sides of the valley were also destroyed.
In such a state, there were almost no survivors.
So the two brigades in front quickened their march—or rather, their escape—and rushed into the pass.
Between the two passes, there was only a steep gorge, where eight or nine thousand men had already gathered. This was the only remaining force of Feneport's western army.
In this battle, the advantages of the "Spirit Wave Cannon" were fully revealed by the "Red Angel" evil spirit, which is a weapon for reaping the lives of enemies on a large scale.
Seeing that defeat was inevitable, McGill did not linger. After "exiling" Afra once again,
They took the opportunity to enter the spirit world and escape.
At the Fifth Artillery position, Atkins saw that the battle had ended so quickly that even if reinforcements were called in, it would be of no use, and there was even a possibility of falling into an enemy ambush. So he also thought about how to escape.
The "prophet" before them was incredibly powerful; he not only held off two demigods but also severely injured Atkins.
Odis sensed that his opponent was retreating, so he stopped attacking Atkins and instead focused his attack on Dart. He raised the "Staff of Gus," and the staff emitted an illusory light, "recreating" a tall, headless figure.
The figure has two eyes on either side of its chest, and its navel is an open mouth with teeth.
He held a large bronze shield in his left hand and a giant bronze axe in his right, looking very imposing!
Mythological Magic: Xing Tian Wields His Axe and Shield!
"Fallen Earl" Dart also intended to escape, but at this moment he was suddenly struck by the mighty Xing Tianzhen.
This is a psychological attack, similar to the "deterrence" of a dragon.
Just as Dart remained motionless, Xing Tian swung his giant axe and struck Dart's head. The axe continued downwards, not only splitting Dart's head in two but also reaching his chest before Xing Tian disappeared.
During this time, Atkins was not idle either. He used "death" and "exile" to deal with Xing Tian and Odis, but neither had any effect.
Of course, it had no effect, because Xing Tian was already dead and had never been afraid of exile.
Odis, on the other hand, was able to easily avoid the "Chaos Hunter" ability because Xing Tian was in front of him.
"The Fallen Earl" Dart did not die immediately, but was fatally wounded. Atkins immediately gave him a sealing artifact that could heal the wound quickly.
As a devoted follower of the "Earth Mother Goddess," Atkins certainly had no shortage of treatments for severe external injuries.
Or magical items that enhance vitality.
Dart caught the sealed artifact, but found that its effect was limited. His wounds seemed to be affected in some way and could not heal for a while.
Atkins had no choice but to issue a decree: "This place has strong vitality, which is conducive to wound healing."
He knew very well that if he didn't do anything, Dart's fatal wound would soon take his life.
Odis's attack continued, and he "reappeared" with the "Diamond Ring," striking Dart, whose wounds had just begun to heal, and briefly putting him in a "dizzy" state.
Seeing this, Atkins made a decision immediately, turned around and entered the spirit world, quickly leaving the place.
Dart's injuries are so severe that even if he recovers, it will seriously affect his condition, and he may lose control of himself in the near future.
In that case, it would be better to buy Atkins a few seconds to leave.
Odis did not pursue the "Chaos Hunter," even though the opponent was also injured and could not be killed in the short term.
However, Dart couldn't escape. Odis stepped forward and used the "Iron Blood Gauntlets" to send him flying, ending his suffering.
Instead of giving the order to continue the attack, the "Red Angel" evil spirit ordered 900 "Extraordinary Puppets" to block the northern end of the Krish Pass, and then ordered another 900 "Extraordinary Puppets" to bypass the pass via a rugged mountain path and block the southern end of the pass.
For ordinary soldiers, such a detour would certainly cause a lot of non-combat casualties, but the "extraordinary puppets" are more agile than ordinary soldiers. Even if they fall into a ravine, they can climb back to their unit.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Medici ordered four "extraordinary machine gun" artillery phalanxes to advance and surround the Krish Pass.
The rest of the "extraordinary puppets" went to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, not only were the enemy wiped out, but their supplies were also almost completely destroyed.
It is worth mentioning that the enemy actually had two artillery regiments and had constructed artillery positions.
But against the "Lingbo Cannon," ordinary cannons were practically useless; after one volley of fire,
The artillery position disappeared without firing a single shell.
Although the supplies were destroyed, only the extraordinary attributes were reassembled. However, many attributes were buried under the soil and rocks, and extraordinary individuals still need to work together to find them.
While collecting spoils of war, Odis also sent people to tally the battle losses.
When the statistics came out, Odis was shocked; there were only 9 "Portable Spirit Wave Cannons" in this battle, 6
The "Extraordinary Machine Gun" was destroyed, and 22 "Extraordinary Puppets" were severely damaged. Repairing them would be less effective than rebuilding them. More than 30 "Extraordinary Puppets" were injured, but they could be reused after replacing some parts.
Other losses included the deaths of three officers and injuries to four extraordinary individuals.
This loss is negligible compared to Fenneport's losses!
When Odis saw the "Red Angel" evil spirit, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became. It had gained the upper hand despite not having a clear advantage, which was exactly the kind of military commander Odis needed right now.
He smiled and said, "I'll leave the rest to my men. I'll treat you to a drink."
The evil spirit "Red Angel" chuckled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but the battle is not over yet."
As he spoke, he looked toward the Krish Pass.
Odis glanced over there as well: "According to the intelligence I've received, there isn't much food in those two passes, and they won't last long."
Medici laughed and said, "There are far too many examples of enemies winning battles in dire straits, all starting with the commander underestimating the enemy."
"If a few demigods were to enter those two passes at this time, they might very well turn the tide and win."
"
He waved his hand and said, "Go back. This is my battlefield, not yours."
"Your battlefield is not here, but in Azshara."
Odis nodded: "You're right, I'll come again tomorrow morning."
After saying this, he "reappeared" as Suzaku, but instead of returning to Wotai City, he headed to the eastern front of Remburg.
The war here was not yet completely over. The entire southern defense line seemed to be ablaze with fire. The Fennepot soldiers who had stormed into Remburg were continuing to pursue the enemy, covering each other and advancing in shifts.
The garrison in Lenburg was completely routed. Most of them were fleeing towards Azshara, while some who were lost were running around aimlessly.
Odis never expected that the Remnantburg army would collapse so quickly.
The battle had just begun in the morning, and by evening the defensive line, which had taken decades to build, had been breached.
So the only option left is to fight a defensive war in Azshara, just like the previous "Central and Southern War".
Then the entire southern part of Remburg would fall. If Odis remembers correctly, this defensive battle would last for more than half a year, enough time for Feneport to squeeze every last drop of profit out of southern Remburg.
Even if Remenberg wins the war in the end, it will be difficult for him to recover his strength in a short period of time.
Odis took a deep breath, wondering if he should rush to the eastern front to provide support as soon as possible.
However, this matter needs to be discussed with the "Red Angel" evil spirit. Firstly, it's out of respect, and secondly, we want to hear his opinion on whether our current strength is sufficient to drive away the invaders.
Of course, the most important thing is to test whether the "Red Angel" evil spirit is willing to stay. If it is willing to help Odis analyze the situation, it means that the other party intends to stay.
Inside the Royal Palace in Fenerbahce.
King Denis II, who had just rested for a while, returned to his office.
Upon entering, the somewhat overweight king asked with a grim face, "So many extraordinary beings died at the Krish Pass?"
Since the battle began at noon, the King had been in his office closely monitoring the fighting at the front with his military advisors and staff.
Denis II only went back to rest for a while after learning of the great victory on the Eastern Front, in which a demigod from Remnantburg was killed and the enemy's strong defenses were breached.
But just now, the waiter told him that Atkins and McGill had returned, and more than 70% of the Extraordinary Ones sent to the Western Front had been killed!
Atkins, also in the King's office, sighed and said, "We underestimated them!"
"The extraordinary force we've sent out is simply not enough."
Dennis II glanced at the map, then smiled at Atkins and said, "I know there must be a reason for the defeat. Let me investigate what happened."
McGill was about to step forward to remind the King that several thousand more people were trapped, but Atkins stopped him with a look.
In any country, a demigod would almost never be truly punished; Dennis II didn't even give the two defeated demigods a hard time.
But Atkins also knew that it was best not to get involved in the rest, otherwise people would definitely gossip behind his back: "Why didn't you do this sooner?"
Atkins then expressed his responsibility for his poor command, but the king, of course, waved his hand dismissively, saying it was nothing, and told them to go back and rest and recover.
The two demigods took their leave and had not gone far from the king's palace when they heard the king roar: "Who told me that it was just a slightly stronger pirate crew?"
"Can a pirate crew really have such strong fighting power?"
"Investigate what exactly happened. Who helped them?"
Atkins and McGill exchanged a glance and shook their heads with a hint of helplessness.
The two demigods were gone, but the military advisors and staff in the king's office remained cautious.
One of the staff officers said, "Your Majesty, according to the Duke of Atkins' report, the enemy's artillery is extremely powerful?"
"Sharp?" Dennis struggled to contain his anger. "How sharp can it be?"
The staff officer said, "Two rounds of shelling wiped out five brigades."
The King's office fell silent.
Wotai City, public servant apartments.
Roxanne, the office manager, owns her own apartment, complete with a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.
Roxanne wasn't resting at this time; she was still waiting by the window in the living room.
A little over an hour ago, she received a letter from Fenneport informing her that the southern defenses of Remnburg had been breached and that the western front would likely be attacked soon as well.
Roxanne awaits the outcome of the battle at Krish Pass.
Based on her observations of Odis and the "Sword of Dawn," the armed forces in Wotai State could hold out for at least a few days.
However, it is still necessary to remain vigilant at such times and to react immediately once there is news from the front lines.
Just then, as if sensing something, she immediately got up and went to the living room, where she found a letter on the coffee table.
Roxanne was somewhat complacent, thinking to herself: Could Wotai have been defeated so quickly?
She opened the letter, but it made no mention of the war. It only said that Archbishop Ebenor would be going to Votee to meet with Odis Gar, and that Roxanne should handle the communication.
Roxanne was immediately confused. In any orthodox church, the archbishop was an important figure, and the Church of the Mother Goddess only had seven.
Why has the Church suddenly become so focused on negotiations with Odysseus? Could it be...?
Just then, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Great victory at Krish Pass! 20,000 enemy soldiers killed, Feneport suffers heavy losses."
Roxanne rushed to the window and saw someone riding a horse down the street shouting, "Great Victory at Krish Pass!"
We won!
Wotai State has truly won!
Roxanne glanced at the letter in her hand again and gave a relieved smile.
