Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For Hank, there is nothing to be disappointed in not being able to take down the opponent in one fell swoop.  From the beginning of this duel, he had planned to make the opponent run.  Just as Balk hopes to use the task force to cause instability in Academy City, Hank also hopes to seize the initiative in the entire war through this duel.  Now it seems that he has obviously achieved his goal. The first fleet was seriously damaged, and a valuable legendary magic scroll was also lost.  It is foreseeable that the current Imperial fleet will definitely shrink into a ball, so that Hank can explore the map freely.  "Order the reconnaissance fleet to release the probe, the defense fleet to deploy the formation, and turn on the exploration radar." Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, Hank would not despise them because of this.  The reason is simple, that is, what they showed before was not the true strength of the Sorcerous Empire fleet.  Originally, the magic fleet relied less on battleships and more on the high-level mages above to fight.  Those high-level spells are to some extent more powerful than the gunfire of battleships, so the battleships of the Sorcerous Empire's fleet are not actually excellent in terms of firepower.  If the magic power had not been suppressed, then the magic barrier cast by the task force during the previous battle and the subsequent fire storm were the true strength of the Sorcerous Empire fleet But even so, they definitely cannot be underestimated.  opponent. ? The activation of high-level scrolls requires very strong mental power, which is also a part of becoming a high-level mage.  And a large part of the reason why Hank and the others are mage apprentices and low-level mage is that they do not have enough mental power. As a result, even if they capture the other party's high-level magic scroll, they cannot use it.  On the other hand, although the opponent's magic power was suppressed, his mental power remained unchanged. This meant that as long as there were enough high-level magic scrolls, the Sorcerous Empire's fleet could still turn defeat into victory.  The reason Hank didn't choose to attack before was that when the opponent used Fire Storm, he was worried that if he pressed too hard, he might make the opponent jump over the wall and activate the legendary magic scroll on a large scale.  Although Academy City's battleships have been treated to resist magic, when it reaches the stage of legendary magic, they can no longer compete with it - if it is the fleet directly under the lord, that's it, but they obviously have not yet resisted legendary magic.  ability.  "I don't know how many legendary magic scrolls there are in the empire" Through the screen, Hank contacted Dorent again.  "Probably there should be at least three or four. Anyway, the Sorcerous Empire will never be willing to fail. I think they will choose to use the scroll at the right time to change the situation of the battle." "This is also a trouble.  Well" Hearing Dorrent's answer, Hank sighed lightly.  The biggest threat to legendary magic is not firepower, but the strange characteristics of magic. No one knows what kind of effect a legendary magic scroll can have. When he was a magic apprentice, Hank also heard some stories about legendary magic.  Rumors about magic are basically existences at the level of destroying the world.  The same was true for the Fire Storm used by the Sorcerous Empire fleet before. Roaring flames ravaged most of the mountain range, and the magical fire released from the Fire Elemental Realm completely reduced everything in sight to ashes.  If Hank hadn't made the decisive decision to retreat, I don't know what would have happened.  If there are a few similar scrolls in the Magic Fleet That would be really troublesome Looking at the screen in front of him, Hank couldn't help but fall into deep thinking.  At the same time, Balke's face was ashen.  Just now, the First Fleet, which had finally retreated to a safe zone, immediately integrated. The result made Captain Balk extremely depressed.  The First Fleet has lost nearly a quarter of its battleships so far, and not only that, but the task force has also suffered losses.  The opponent's fierce firepower, precise aim, and speed were beyond Balk's expectations.  Even among the other remaining warships, nearly two-thirds are almost in a state that can be scrapped.  The battleship itself is nothing more. The problem is that combat attrition is the biggest headache for Balk.  Damage to the battleship can be restored and repaired with the help of magic scrolls.  But there was no way to replace the crew members and soldiers who died in the explosion.  This means that even after the battleships are repaired, they will not be able to play any role due to insufficient personnel.  In desperation, Captain Balk had no choice but to order some people to abandon several seriously damaged warships with more than half of the battle crews lost, and concentrate them all on other warships, and then use magic scrolls to repair other damaged warships - if not  If the magic is suppressed, then they can directly use magic for repairs, but now, if they cannot use advanced magic, the only thing they can rely on isScroll of law.  The magic scroll is a consumable item. Use one less than one. In order to maximize the effect of the magic scroll, Captain Balk has no choice but to do this.  It¡¯s not okay to continue like this.  Looking at the busy battleships in the night, Captain Balk also frowned when he heard the wails and cries coming from the distance.  Although the legendary magic scroll was used to block the opponent's further offensive in the end, in the previous battle, Captain Balk had discovered that the opponent's warship was far stronger than his own in terms of range and firepower.  Otherwise, it would not have such tragic consequences.  Although he didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that these battleships were built by apprentices, but whether he believed it or not, the facts were already in front of him.  It seems that next, there is only one choice they can make.  "Gather all your strength and strive to solve the problem in one battle!" Looking at Christopher in front of him, Balk also gave his own answer.  "Currently, our battleships are short of personnel, and the magic scrolls are consumables. One is less than one, so it is best for us to gather all our strength and strive to defeat the enemy with one blow!" "Well the idea is good.  , But will the other party follow your ideas? " After hearing Balk's story, Christopher thought for a moment, and then asked his own questions.  "If we fight the opponent head-on, then the opponent can completely solve us outside the shooting range. I am sure that they will not take risks. In this case, it will be more difficult to lure them to the bait."  "So, we need a bait of sufficient weight." Faced with Balk's words, Christopher was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.  "Do you plan to" "As you said, Christopher, we have no chance of winning in a frontal attack. But if we attack in the front, will they turn a blind eye to it? Are they still not planning to do it?  Annihilate us instead of turning around and running away?" Speaking of this, Balk clenched his fists.  "I have decided to use the First Fleet as bait to lure them into taking the bait. And when they are indulged in the joy of annihilating the First Fleet, I want your task force to give them the most fatal blow!!" "  But if this happens, the First Fleet will also suffer heavy losses!" Although he had expected it, Christopher's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Balk's plan.  But in response to his words, Balk shook his head firmly.  "On the battlefield, the winner is not king, but the leftover is king. As long as one of us can survive to the end, then the empire will be the winner on the battlefield!" Having said this, Balk raised his head and looked at the wind on his battleship.  Waving flag.  "For the empire, I have no regretseven if I sacrifice my own life, I will not hesitate!" (~^~)
