Dozens of kilometers from the Fussack military command post, the "Red Angel" demon ordered the tanks to fire.
The demigods of the Fusak Empire who remained at the command post quickly sensed the danger and took action to stop it.
Some of the Spirit Wave Cannon shells were flying when they suddenly burst into orange-red flames. These flames, fueled by spiritual energy, quickly burned the spiritual energy contained in the Spirit Wave Cannon shells below the critical point of convergence. The shells then transformed into gusts of spiritual wind and ceased to explode.
However, because those flames were fueled by spiritual energy, they rapidly expanded as the shells dispersed, forming clusters of dazzling flames in mid-air.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, two shells still landed.
Rumble, rumble?
The massive explosion destroyed many houses around the command post and uprooted large trees, causing numerous casualties.
The command post was set up in the manor of a nobleman of the Loen people. There were no farmers around, so there were no casualties among ordinary people.
Before Mikhail Einhorn could give any orders, the four demigods of Remnburg arrived.
Only two saints remained at the command post today. While fighting the enemy, Mikhail chanted the angel's name, pleading for help from the "weather wizard."
Suddenly, a devastating hurricane formed around the manor, and Snarna Einhorn, clad in iron-black armor and with long, deep red hair, appeared on the battlefield.
The situation changed immediately; the four demigods on Remburg's side were no match for an angel.
Snarna summoned a massive flaming spear and a flaming meteor, preparing to attack the Lenburg demigods, when suddenly he felt a strange sense of oppression.
A figure with facial features from the Southern Continent drifted over from afar. The red flag mark on his forehead was very conspicuous. When Snarna saw the flag-shaped mark, he suddenly seemed to be restricted in some way, and the flaming spear and flaming meteor he summoned became much dimmer.
A gash appeared on the left cheek of the evil spirit "Red Angel," and a hoarse voice said, "Today is not your day of death. Get out of here. Once the angels of Lenburg arrive, you won't be able to escape."
The voice belonged to Einhorn, and it temporarily became the dominant consciousness, which allowed the "Red Angel" evil spirit to suppress Snnarr both in terms of bloodline and symbolism.
If a real fight breaks out, the "Red Angel" evil spirit can use the remaining portion of its authority to suppress Snnar and weaken its abilities, but it can only suppress it; it cannot kill it or even harm it.
Snnar seemed to realize something: "You—you are Einhorn." He laughed: "I can let you go today, but the next time we meet, your characteristics will be mine."
"
Although this is a descendant of the angel, Einhorn will not feel any psychological burden by using the characteristics within the other party to restore him to the level of an angel.
The three consciousnesses of the "Red Angel" evil spirit are very clear: at this level, improving strength is the most important thing.
Therefore, even Einhorn did not express any objection to hunting down the angels of the Einhorn family for the purpose of advancement.
Although they still have a concept of family honor and continuation, and killing one or two angels doesn't matter to them, they will definitely protect their family in the future.
In their view, this is making the best use of resources.
After all, the characteristics of angels are a complete waste in these unprogressive juniors.
Snarna had met his family's ancestor Einhorn in the Fourth Age, so he recognized him immediately.
After a slight hesitation, all the flames around him went out, and he said to the other two demigods, "Leave this place!"
Mikhail, the commander-in-chief of the Fussack army, also felt a certain suppression, so without hesitation, he took a few capable subordinates and left the place while the demigods of Remburg temporarily retreated under the orders of their commander.
After they retreated, Snarna glanced at the "Red Angel" evil spirit one last time, and then a mist suddenly rose around them, and he left from there as well.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit glanced at the command center on the ground and ordered, "There aren't many Beyonders left on the ground. Ignore them."
This surprised the demigods, because according to Marshal Medici's usual style, these enemy troops would definitely take a few more hits without the protection of the demigods.
However, no one took it too seriously; they simply followed the marshal's orders.
The "Red Angel" demon then gave the order to the entire army: "Next target."
Remenberg's command system has been upgraded once again. At this moment, at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, a large aircraft is processing and transmitting orders between Marshal Medici and the various corps.
Within the corps, orders were primarily transmitted and processed via that large aircraft.
Between squads or tank platoons, orders were issued by the "captain".
These two command-level computing powers are different. The "captain's" computing power is basically a twelve-sided "intelligent Rubik's Cube". This level of intelligent computing power is basically capable of thinking about strategic-level problems.
The computing power of large aircraft in the sky is an array of eighteen "intelligent cubes," which is equivalent to an array processor. As long as the "Red Angel" evil spirits explain their strategic objectives to the command system in advance, they can generate combat plans on their own.
The key is that the coordination between the various armies can be completely accomplished by this "intelligent command system". For example, a reconnaissance aircraft can detect and guide the target, and the tank formation behind it can attack the target. No one's orders are needed; the command system can do it all by itself.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit can join the command at any time, modifying the battle plan or issuing temporary battle orders.
Moreover, there wasn't just one such "command center" aircraft; there were several backup aircraft nearby.
Even if the aircraft are destroyed by the enemy, the ground command system can still be activated.
In comparison, Remenberg's command system was far more advanced than that of the VfSak army.
Soon, the highly mobile Remburg Regiment moved eastward rapidly towards its next target: the Vrsald Air Base!
Because they needed to operate across the inter-sea area, the Fussack army had a large number of airships, almost equal to the total number of airships of all other countries combined.
It was with these airships that the Fussack army attacked Backlund and launched the war.
In the previous war, the airships also caused Rune a lot of trouble.
Another goal of the "Red Angel" evil spirit is to end the myth of the Fussack Air Force.
In fact, an hour earlier, a large number of airships of the Fussack army had received orders to carry a large number of bombs to bomb the Remnburg army.
The commanders of Fussack felt they had found the weakness of the Remnburg army: they were highly mobile and had powerful weapons, but they had no anti-aircraft system, not even an anti-aircraft machine gun!
Just as Marshal Mikhail of the Vsak army realized that Remburg was preparing to attack the command post, two hundred airships loaded with bombs were already flying toward Remburg's army.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit returned to its command vehicle.
Bevin, the military liaison for Ruen, immediately asked, "How did it go? Did it succeed?"
The "Red Angel" evil spirit simply said, "For the next half hour, the command system of the Fussack army was basically paralyzed."
The main commanders of the Fussack army have all withdrawn, but at their pace, it will take at least half an hour to set up a temporary command post.
Then the "Red Angel" demon said to the "intelligent command terminal" on the command vehicle: "Play the real-time monitoring footage of the first batch of enemy airships."
The so-called "intelligent command terminal" is a black cylindrical metal object, which Marshal Medici used to communicate with the aerial "..."
"Command center" - equipment used for communication between aircraft.
Bevin found it all very novel; he thought it was Remnburg's advanced communication system, and that a staff officer was talking to Marshal Medici on the other side.
He had no idea that the other side was actually "extraordinary intelligence".
Or rather, the concept of "extraordinary intelligence" has exceeded his imagination.
After receiving the command from the evil spirit "Red Angel", the "intelligent command terminal" closed the car windows and activated the real-time video transmission system.
The system is not yet mature and can only transmit images within a 200-kilometer radius, so it can only be used by the military at present and cannot be widely adopted.
After the windows of the command vehicle were closed, the light inside the vehicle dimmed, and a scene was quickly projected onto the rear of the vehicle: a group of enemy airships attacking in formation, each with tail fins and side wings, and long oval-shaped gasbags rapidly sweeping across the ground.
The airship's pods were hidden in its belly, where two machine guns and a bomb bay were mounted.
For the Rune soldiers, this was a terrifying air force, as the bomb bay could carry several tons of bombs and bombard the positions, causing huge casualties among the Rune soldiers.
The key issue is that the only air defense weapon currently available is the anti-aircraft machine gun. If the airship flies at an altitude of more than 100 meters, this machine gun will have little accuracy.
Therefore, airships are the most troublesome thing for the Rune soldiers.
Upon seeing the images of these airships, Bevin instinctively swallowed hard. Just as he was about to ask, "How should we deal with these enemies?", Marshal Medici said, "Proceed according to the plan."
The "intelligent command terminal" replied, "Yes."
"A planned schedule?" Bevan asked. "What planned schedule?"
The "Red Angel" demon glanced at him: "Do I need to explain myself to you?"
Bevin smiled awkwardly: "No, no, I—I was just curious."
He was a little helpless after saying that. He felt that Marshal Medici was deliberately provoking him, but he couldn't get angry. After all, the other party was reinforcements and was of a higher rank than him.
Bevan soon learned what the "pre-arranged plan" was, because dozens of small planes appeared on the screen, and compared to them, the airships were as slow as turtles!
Moreover, these small planes were very agile. Before they even entered the airship's firing range, they suddenly pulled up, rising dozens of meters above the enemy. This left the airships dumbfounded, as the machine guns on their pods were completely ineffective against these planes.
However, the aircraft's machine guns could easily attack the Fussacks' airships by diving.
But instead of doing that, they dropped two bombs as they flew over the enemy airships!
Bevin witnessed a scene he would never forget: a powerful "extraordinary bomb" exploded on the airship's gasbag, instantly shattering it into pieces.
Like balloons that have been popped!
As the airship's pod plummeted from the sky, Bevin seemed to hear desperate screams from the enemy inside.
Some pods were completely blown to pieces by the bombs, and the people inside were basically killed before they could even let out a desperate cry.
This was a complete "air combat show." Although the airships were rapidly climbing, they were still powerless to fight back because their ascent speed was as slow as a snail!
The aircraft were used for the simplest bombing, and each airship dropped only two bombs because the small aircraft did not have a large bomb load, so there could be no waste.
Despite such a simple tactic, the airship formation was completely unable to resist, and airships fell one after another, engulfed in intense flames.
At this moment, the demigod Fussac, who was in the airship, seemed to suddenly realize something and summoned a large number of fireballs, which flew towards the dozens of planes.
If you look closely, you'll find that these planes are at very tricky altitudes, and their distances are beyond the range of Sequence 5's capabilities, meaning they can only be attacked by the opponent's demigods.
But in the next instant, the demigod Lenburg also appeared in mid-air, blocking the fireballs.
The unilateral attack by the aircraft continued, and in just seven or eight minutes, not a single one of the two hundred airships of the Fussac Empire escaped; they were all destroyed.
Apart from one demigod and several Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 beings who escaped using their abilities, there were almost no survivors!
The plane then returned to its temporary airfield north of Backlund to reload and prepare for the next attack.
At this time, it was not that the Remnantburg army had no air support, because another batch of planes was already on its way.
As the ground forces advanced and collected the spoils from the airship pods, Remburg's second air strike began.
Their objective this time was to bomb the enemy's air base, and about half an hour later, the second round of bombing proceeded as planned.
Airships at Versack Air Force Base took off urgently, but were still within the combat radius of small aircraft, which caught up with them and shot them down one by one.
The airships, which hadn't even had a chance to take off, were then bombed by the arriving land forces, and after a battle with the demigods...
Everything was destroyed.
It was already evening, and according to observations from reconnaissance aircraft, the elite troops of the various divisions of the Fusak Army and a large number of extraordinary individuals began to assemble.
Clearly, the Fussac Imperial Army had finally established a temporary command and devised a tactic to deal with the Remburg Army: to launch a surprise attack on Remburg's steel torrent with a small number of elite troops and a force composed entirely of extraordinary individuals.
The Fussack army reacted relatively quickly; it took Fenerbahce several defeats to come up with such tactics.
Taking advantage of the gap in the enemy's assembly, the Rune army launched artillery bombardment on the extraordinary squads and elite troops that had just arrived at the assembly point nearby, and also launched artillery bombardment on the camps and positions of several divisions.
These shelling attacks were carried out from a distance of 20 to 30 kilometers, guided by reconnaissance aircraft, making them difficult to defend against and causing enormous damage.
Just as the enemy's elite forces were about to assemble, the Remnburg army, under the command of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, suddenly turned around, as if to retreat.
The newly assembled Extraordinary troops immediately rushed south to intercept the Remburg army, as the several divisions currently located in the south were no match for the Remburg army.
However, they didn't receive intelligence until after 10 p.m. that the Lenburg army had not retreated south, but west, and had even wiped out two more regiments during the retreat.
So these extraordinary beings hurried after them and, at midnight, finally determined the retreat direction of the Remnburg army. They actually planned to head west, bypass the battlefields of Fursac and Rune, and make a big detour back through the western part of Backlund!
The extraordinary warriors pursued with even greater fervor, and several divisions from the surrounding area were also dispatched westward to prepare to assist in the upcoming battle.
Because further west lies the Hoy River, and now all the boats on the Hoy River have been requisitioned by the Fusak army to transport supplies from the Intersea to the front lines.
Even with the support of the Rune army, it would still take more than ten hours for such a massive formation of tanks and troop carriers to cross the river.
If we catch up now, we can definitely achieve considerable results.
But when they reached the banks of the Hoy River, they found that the Lenburg army had already crossed the river!
They could see from afar that enemy tanks and troop carriers could still float across the river.
However, the sudden and immense gravity caused waves to rise on the river surface, and the crossing was not very stable. Several troop carriers almost fell into the river, but it was probably the extraordinary beings who intervened and protected them.
By the time they reached the riverbank, the Lenburg army was already far away.
Those who caught up were all extraordinary individuals; given enough time, they could easily cross the river, but they received orders to cease the pursuit.
By this time, the Remnburg army had already withdrawn from the battlefield. The key point was that even if they caught up, they wouldn't have much of an advantage and it would be difficult to keep the Remnburg army there. So it was better not to continue the pursuit.
The following morning, the Remnburg army, which had been on a day-and-night raid, returned to Backlund and announced that they would establish a camp in the northwest of Backlund to rest for half a month.
In response, the Ministry of Defense of Ruhnn stated that the Ruhnn army is free to move around and choose the location of its camps.
They never expected that after a day and a night of fighting, the Remnburg army would return almost "unscathed".
Moreover, they achieved great results, throwing the entire Fusak position into chaos, and it would be at least a week before they could organize another offensive.
With this week, Rune can rebuild its defenses in northern Backlund and hold out for another two weeks without any problem.
Even Prime Minister Agushid personally ordered that high-quality logistical supplies be provided to the Allied forces in Lundburg, as a token of Rune's gratitude to them.
However, because the weapons of the Remburg army were all "extraordinary equipment" and logistics had to rely entirely on Remburg itself, this "high-quality logistical supply" only provided a few dozen extraordinary individuals in Remburg with very good food and spacious tents.
In a military camp in northern Backlund, there is a teleportation array that connects to the interior of Remburg, and the Remburg army relies entirely on this channel for supplies.
The main supplies are "portable spirit-charging arrays" and a large number of energy-storing crystals to replenish the spiritual energy consumed during the previous day and night of battle.
Meanwhile, Bevin was summoned to the Ministry of Defense, where Minister Emilius inquired in detail about Remenberg's operation deep behind enemy lines.
A few days later, in the conference room of the Ministry of Defense of Ruen.
Defense Minister Emilius looked around at the attendees before saying, "It's hard to imagine that a single attack by the Lenburg army could completely destroy the Fussack air force!"
"Based on Lieutenant General Bevin's description, it seems I'm witnessing a battle far more advanced than ours!"
One participant said, "If Remenberg can give us his full support, we might be able to turn the tide of the battle?"
Several senior Defense Ministry officials nodded in agreement, indicating that this was clearly a consensus among many within the Ministry.
Emilius shook his head and said, "Don't even think about such a good thing. If Lenburg were to fully support us, we would find it impossible to accept the conditions they offered."
If that were to happen, perhaps Rembrandt would become number one in the world after the war!
Another attendee said, "We can purchase a large amount of Lenburg equipment and strive to arm such a force that integrates intelligence gathering, air strikes, spirit wave cannon strikes, and 'extraordinary puppet' formations."
Bevan replied, "Even if we had the same equipment as the Remnantburg army, it would be difficult to achieve such results again."
"The victory in this battle has woken up the Fusak army. They should already have a contingency plan. If they encounter the same tactics again, they will quickly gather extraordinary individuals to launch a focused surprise attack."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Moreover, our soldiers don't have time to familiarize themselves with the equipment, let alone with Remburg's tactics."
The most brilliant part of this battle was actually Marshal Medici's tactics. Every action and battle plan seemed to be tailor-made for Remburg's equipment, and there was perfect coordination between the commander and the troops.
In particular, his clean and efficient tactics in attacking enemy air power impressed Bevin greatly.
In the two crucial air raids, only three aircraft were shot down, a loss that can hardly be considered a loss at all.
The subsequent westward retreat, bypassing both enemy and friendly positions, was something even Bevin hadn't anticipated.
It was then that he realized his previous worries were completely unfounded.
At this point, one of the attendees said, "For now, we can only rely on the Remnantburg army to help us defend the northern front."
Everyone present understood the current situation better than anyone else. Rune had no chance of retaliating on either of the two battlefields. If it weren't for the constant supply of blood from the colonies, the enemy would have already reached Backlund by now.
That's why they desperately wanted Lunburg to provide full support to Rune, because they knew very well that they were really about to break down.
At the end of the meeting, Emilius said, "Fortunately, we are still allies."
Yes, it's fortunate that we're allies now, otherwise just thinking about it makes me realize how difficult it would be to deal with such an enemy.
But what about the future? The two sides can't always be allies.
"Send more people to communicate with the Remnantburgers," Emilius said. "Even if it costs some money or requires some other sacrifices, we should learn about their weapons."
He had a premonition that Rune would likely face such a formidable enemy in the future.
In the southern continent, in the eastern part of Byron, the city of Verdtek was under attack.
Under the crimson moon's glow, the Rune soldiers, hiding behind makeshift fortifications, were taking turns to rest and recover their strength.
On the ground in front of the fortifications were rows of cold, lifeless bodies.
Before sunset, the local resistance launched a fierce offensive, and the position was on the verge of being lost.
Fortunately, they held out in the end, and the resistance forces abandoned a large number of households and retreated like a tide.
Suddenly a sentry pointed ahead and shouted, "He's alive! He's alive!"
The soldiers immediately looked over and saw, under the crimson moonlight, the mutilated corpses left behind by the rebels rising one by one, swaying as they tried to approach the defensive line.
In the distance, the "Witch King" Karaman, wearing a hood and a black robe embroidered with crimson patterns, stood behind the rebel army's position, his arms slightly outstretched, and the spirituality of the entire battlefield rapidly increased.
Just as the soldiers of Rune were filled with immense fear, a chanting came from behind: "They are naked, without clothes or food, and have no cover in the cold."
"The night did not abandon them; it showed them favor."
The sacred voice echoed throughout the entire defensive line, quickly dispelling the fear of every soldier and bringing peace to their mind and body.
The corpses that had been awakened seemed to be affected by the tranquil sound, and one by one they slowly lay down again.
Seeing this, Karaman, who was behind the rebels, raised his arms as if to embrace the crimson moon high in the sky.
At that moment, his spirit suddenly sensed a strong danger, so his entire body suddenly became ethereal, turning into a hazy moonlight that flowed rapidly across the ground.
In the next instant, a figure was quickly outlined in the spot where he had just been.
It was a giant rag doll with golden hair, scarlet eyes, and a black Gothic dress engraved with countless mysterious patterns and wrapped with eerie vines. Its skin lacked the luster that a human should have.
This is Klein's messenger, Renette Tinicol!
Using the "Yesterday Once More" charm, one can display a perfect state for a certain period of time.
The crimson moonlight that Karaman had transformed into instantly reformed, solidifying into his body and clothing. He kept his eyes tightly closed, not daring to look directly at the "ancient evil creature" opposite him.
At the same time, he immediately reached out with his left hand and tore the clothes between his chest and abdomen.
At that moment, Renette Tinicol's crimson eyes reflected his image.
"The source of the curse!"
But Karaman did not turn into a rabbit or a goat, "losing" most of his traits and extraordinary abilities.
A faint light appeared around his body, but nothing else changed.
A slender, brownish-yellow wooden puppet was visible where his chest and abdomen were exposed.
Suddenly, the puppet turned blood red, as if soaked in blood. It then softened noticeably, turning into a puddle of mud that looked like it was made of human organs.
An arm emerged from the mud.
Its surface was covered with a black liquid, and strange things protruded from it, some were skulls, some were barbed tongues, and some were three-dimensional eyes.
"Divine Curse" Siea!
The leader of the Rose School descended from the sky through prior arrangements!
The malevolent aura instantly caused the surrounding Rose School members and vassals to die, undergo mutations, or frantically attack their own people.
Except for Karaman, none were spared.
East Bayran, a port city.
A "Witch King" who has become the highest ruler here stands on the top floor of the church that originally belonged to the Church of the Night, looking down at the sparsely lit city.
Inside a house not far away, Emlyn White took out a bronze box inlaid with many gems.
Inside the box was an eyeball-shaped glass sphere, a "Sun" level sealed artifact that Emlin had obtained from within the vampire clan, called "Pure White Vision".
However, this sealed artifact may no longer be needed, because there is a very large plan between the vampires and President Lenburg, and even Emlyn's goal seems insignificant.
However, Emlyn still made thorough preparations. He put on black velvet gloves, took out the "Pure White Vision," and before the negative effects of the sealed artifact harmed him, he summoned illusory bat wings and flew directly towards the "Witch King."
The moment the "Witch King" spotted Emlyn, a scorching, blinding ray shot out from the "Pure White Vision" and hurtled towards him.
The Witch King.
The "Witch King" sneered, without dodging. Then, a bright light burst forth around him, dissolving all darkness and evil. Immediately afterward, white flames ignited around him.
But in the next second, the figure of the "Witch King" turned into a red paper figure, while the "Witch King" himself transformed into a beam of moonlight and rushed towards Emlyn.
Emlyn gasped. The opponent was too fast; he felt he would be killed in the next second.
But before the next second had passed, a stream of information suddenly appeared from mid-air, rushing towards the "Witch King" and trying to surround him.
This time it was the "Witch King's" turn to gasp. He tried his best to dodge while chanting a spell full of evil and malice.
Just as the information flow was about to completely trap it, a figure with dull skin, like the cheapest rag doll, suddenly appeared behind him.
This is the "Ancient Evil" Baranka, one of the angels of the "Rose School".
The doll opened its mouth and uttered a silent, most vicious curse.
The information stream suddenly focused on a woman in her late twenties with a perfect figure—it was Bernadette.
She "recreated" a flute with intricate patterns and occult symbols, which then played itself.
It made an unpleasant sound.
But this sound masked the silent curse, causing the opponent's attack to miss.
Emlyn quickly ducked aside; this was the plan for President Remenberg, the vampires, and the temperance faction of the "Rose School" tonight:
Attack the demigods of the "Rose School" to lure out their angels, and then seize the opportunity to damage their demigod-level power.
In several other cities on the southern continent, battles against the demigods of the "Rose School" were also taking place simultaneously!
