Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    January 20th.

    Countries in the mainland have basically completed the task of erecting walls and clearing the country, and the stored food is being transported. It is foreseeable that in another week, most of the humans hiding in city walls or fortresses will be ready to fight a protracted war.

    It's just that the various actions in the human plane have been completely ignored by Purgatory at this time - those lords never thought that when they were proud of their plans, Morpheus had already anticipated the ultimate purpose of these guys and started  Started making preparations.

    The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind.  Although he expected the enemy to take the lead, Morpheus understood that this did not mean that he would be 100% the final winner - Purgatory is huge, the lords are very strong, and those who participated are also the top-level ones from each plane.  Each group of participants in the Abyss, Sinking, Angel, and Temple are not something he can easily deal with.

    ¡°Now it seems that it is completely unrealistic to rely solely on force to solve problems.  So how to use your brain to save the human plane from disaster is the main premise of Morpheus's entire plan.

    While the entire continent was busy with the illusion of war created by Morpheus, groups of troops completely different from humans quietly appeared in the rivers in Lampard and Byzantium.

    The Nagas under Fahna finally penetrated into the unfrozen rivers in winter after a long journey. The more than 70,000 troops were not all elite soldiers, but many of her subordinates who were displaced and had no income temporarily.  Tribesmen - Compared to the deep sea, these shallow rivers and rivers full of fish are a complete paradise for these Nagas.  All Nagas participating in the mission can receive a metal weapon as a reward, and all they have to do is to assist the ship in transporting a large amount of luggage. Therefore, these Naga troops have no objection to this mission, and even none of them  I was extremely motivated, fearing that I would fall behind and not be able to complete the task and not get paid.

    As a result, batches of supplies began to be transported from Byzantium, Lampard and overseas principalities and territories in the direction of Mulental. The grain roads that were originally unable to be transported quickly on land due to ice and snow were blocked by the Nagas.  Waterways were opened at a faster speed, and transportation speed and efficiency increased more than ten times.

    From the perspective of other kingdoms, this action seemed to announce that Byzantium was concentrating its defense focus on Murental, but they knew nothing about Byzantine's intentions in doing so.

    It was on the afternoon of January 21st that Byzantine and Lampard¡¯s intention to do this finally revealed some clues.

    Outside the walls of Cisselin, a total of 30,000 mobile combat troops, including infantry groups, cavalry groups and the recently integrated "Chosen Ones", were arrayed here, waiting for the next action.

    ??Among these troops, 4,000 knights of the cavalry regiment belong to the Dark Blade Knights, 20,000 people belong to the original infantry sequence, and a team of 6,000 people are the latest "Chosen Ones" recruited by Lampard.

    Compared with Lampard's original elite troops who have experienced several wars, this 6,000-man team has no military appearance at all, and can even be said to be a complete mess-at this time, these improvised "warrior types"  The chosen ones were equipped with weapons and standard armors one by one, but in the cold wind, these guys who had never fought in a battle or even had much military literacy stood and squatted, and even a small number of them gathered together to keep warm.  Compared with the infantry regiments on both sides, they are basically a group of farmers and idlers.

    As the commander-in-chief, Morpheus was standing on the city wall, squinting slightly as he looked at the troops in front of him, wondering what he was thinking about.  Hegel beside him was discussing the content of the next exercise with Hessel. Words such as "pay attention to the formation" and "orders and prohibitions" made the tall Hessel frown fiercely, while Elin Dahl, who was responsible for recording on the side, also  Looking down with some worry¡ª¡ª

    Obviously everyone understands that it is difficult to understand that the makeshift team appeared on the battlefield at this time.  No matter how powerful Heiser is in running the army, he can't train thousands of peasants who have never been on the battlefield to achieve anything in a few weeks.  Today, almost all of Lampard's mobile armed forces were suddenly pulled out to practice formations. In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps the only purpose is to compare the military quality of those elite soldiers.

    Because Joan seemed a little uneasy these days, Ashkandi chatted with her in the church, hoping to understand what happened. So at this time, Morpheus stood alone in front, always expressionless.  Looking down.

    Behind him is the high priest Andariel - it stands to reason that it is a bit strange for her to appear here. After all, military exercises are mostly based on familiar formations, and currently there is no need for the assistance of various halos and divine spells. In the past,  But obviously, Andalil had something to do today, with a slightly nervous look on his face.

    Next to her, the one who looked more nervous than Andariel was the old man with a wrinkled face wearing a feather cloak.

    "Relax"?The purpose of the exercise is to discover deficiencies. With me here, you don¡¯t have to worry about failure.  "

    Morpheus's words made Andalil's face calm down, but the old man tightened the wooden stick in his hand - speaking of it, his status was much lower than Andalil's, but in a sense  In other words, it can be regarded as the religious leader Mutataer. This old man with a somewhat strange name is the leader of the "Voodoo" sect who has been extremely low-key after merging with Morpheus's forces.

    After the Holy See disappeared, the Voodoo Sect was finally freed from the sea of ??misery. However, they were already declining, and they always lived in the jungle with little contact with humans, so they were almost forgotten in the corner by Morpheus.  It wasn't until Lampard began a large-scale recruitment a few days ago that the Archon found them again and made a series of demands.  And until nowMutatar still couldn't believe that he was standing in front of Morpheus and would participate in all the battles that might happen next.

    "Okay, let's get started."

    With Morpheus¡¯s words, Heiser began to issue instructions-the cavalry regiment under the city wall was the first to move, and they formed a trident formation and roared past.  And then the infantry teams immediately followed up, perfectly matching the cavalry's charge route, and rushed through the imaginary enemy formation in waves.

    Their ranks were always neat and orderly, and their footsteps even reached a certain unity. They were murderous and full of momentum.

    But then, things began to change.

    The phalanx composed of six thousand new "Chosen Ones" was at the end. Although they also received the order to charge forward, these guys who had never been on the battlefield were completely different from other infantry formations after they started.  A group of teams moved forward in a chaotic manner. After running a few steps, there was no formation at all. Even the direction of the charge changed after two hundred meters, running towards the wrong place crookedly.  go

    Seeing this scene, Hegel, Elinda and others frowned. They looked at Morpheus involuntarily, doubting his true thoughts in their hearts, but they only saw Morpheus maintaining his original posture and looking down.  After the team collapsed and dispersed, they turned to Andariel and said: "Now -"

    "good!"

    The high priest's face tightened, and she began to chant a prayer nervously. As she raised her palm, a halo of light fell from the sky and fell steadily among the scattered soldiers in her field of vision.

    "Strength Amplification", the original function of this halo is to stimulate the potential of the soldiers' bodies and enhance their physical strength. However, unlike other large-scale halo properties it can accurately delineate the scope of action according to the will of the caster.

    So at this time, only the scattered infantry team was affected by the halo, but it did not affect any other soldiers.

    "Mutatar."

    Morpheus just called his name, and the latter raised the wooden staff in his hand with fear - the "Voodoo" sect has three fighting methods, one is to transform into "Musad", and the other is to summon creatures  , and another one is "Shaman".  The Musads who once fought with Morpheus have the ability to transform into beasts, and they have another skill that they have not shownthat is "beast control".

    By influencing the emotions and spirits of beasts to achieve the effect of commanding beasts or herds, this witchcraft immediately reminded Morpheus of a possibility, so he brought together these "chosen ones" who had no idea how to fight.  , began this bold attempt

    Mutatar's "Beast Control" was enveloped by the wall of law released by Morpheus. A dark red halo flashed through, and then the wall of law enveloped Andariel.

    Immediately afterwards, the originally scattered team of six thousand "Chosen Ones" in the distance began to change.

    The 6,000-man infantry team that had divided itself into three parts slowly began to gather. The rhythm of the soldiers' running gradually began to unify, and the direction of the charge began to change.

    It seems that there is an invisible voice correcting their own state for them. First it is the direction of the charge, then the internal structure of the team, and then the pace

    Seeing these changes, Elindale raised her eyebrows, seeming a little surprised that this team could act so obediently to Morpheus's will. But for Hegel, Hessel and others, what was happening now was  But they only felt their hearts pounding.

    When Morpheus began to use the "law" to skillfully control the team, Heiser's eyes were completely wide open and he couldn't even speak.

    Hegel on the side was also dumbfounded and couldn't help but said: "I never thought that the army could be mobilized like this - if all teams can be like this, then -"

    He was so excited that his beard was trembling. Others may not understand what this means., but he and Heiser, who are familiar with military affairs, understand that if each team of an army can be monitored and manipulated by the commander in real time, its combat effectiveness will almost increase exponentially!

    In wars of this era, orders issued by the commander-in-chief are passed down one by one through messengers. If the military formation is larger, more than ten minutes may have passed by the time the front receives the news, and the troops in the melee can only use flags and horns to communicate.  Orders, such as "advance" and "retreat" can be expressed, but if it is more complicated, there will be nothing you can do.  Therefore, the significance of "Elite Soldiers in Hundred Battles" in this era lies more in their keen combat consciousness - soldiers know to appear in the right place at the right time and in the right way, which is far more important than their own combat power.  Much more.

    For example, in the defeat of the Holy See, Pope Giovanni made a scheduling error and was unable to remedy it, which almost directly declared the failure of his final counterattack, and now

    Looking at the formation of the team that was no different from other infantry regiments under Morpheus's command, Hegel was completely convinced - he believed that with such a powerful command method, any team could reach its maximum potential!

    No morale?  Insufficient battlefield experience?  The halo magic of Archbishop Joan of Arc and Archpriest Andariel can completely solve these remaining problems.

    Thinking of Byzantium's gathering of more troops, Hegel couldn't help but think of the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops harvesting enemies like war machines under the control of Morpheus. His eyes shifted slightly, and he was looking at the Grand Duke in front of him with slightly narrowed eyes.  He seemed to be thinking about something, but the slightly curved corners of his mouth made it clear that no matter who was his enemy, he would be in bad luck next.
