Chapter 1070: New task

The mage squeezed the telegram in his hand and hurriedly flew to the command center. Because he was too anxious, he didn't control the speed when landing. From a dozen meters in the air, he hurriedly landed, an imperfect landing that was almost a hard landing.
Under the huge impact, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly supported the ground with a stick to avoid falling a dog chewing mud under the eyes of everyone.
The mage hurriedly stood up straight, then shook his robe, reached out and wiped the long hair on the top of his head, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the hairstyle is not messy..."
The soldiers around looked at this stinky mage, and couldn't help looking at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing the different gazes of the surrounding guards, the mage smiled awkwardly, and then quickly snatched into the Chinese army's big tent.
When he picked up the curtain, a room of sparkling gold stars almost blinded him.
Except for a part of the generals who accompanied the Grand Duke Julian to attack the city, most of the generals in the rest of the peacekeeping forces gathered here.
Dozens of warrior and murderous generals all turned their heads and stared at the staggering mage. That powerful aura, if you were timid, you might be shocked instantly.
But the mage was already used to it, and didn't care at all. He just ran to the main position in a hurry, with a nervous expression on his face, and shouted eagerly: "Marshal, emergency. Urgent matter."
A general in a room was telling a silly joke just now, talking about the idleness, waiting for the lunch to start.
Archduke Julian crouched in front, supervised the soldiers under his hands to fill the pit, and then used the artillery to point the valuable targets in the city of Harrygard one by one, as if he was playing a game of whacking a mole. In this case, there are not so many people around.
Although it was interesting at first, these generals enthusiastically circled all the targets in the city of Khaligard that had entered the range of the artillery fire, and then watched the artillery knock them off one by one.
Then the infantry rushed into the trenches with shouts, and started a fight with the enemies hiding in the trenches.
Bit by bit, he struggled with the enemy and pushed forward bit by bit. Occasionally, they will be beaten back by the enemy's counterattack.
Or after occupying a certain trench, the enemy immediately opened the dam leading to the river mouth, and the soldiers immediately yelled and fleeed desperately before the flood water poured into the entire trench.
Then the enemy took advantage of the situation and came over.
The cannon fired again, repelling the enemy. Then the infantry attacked again, wading through the blood of the ankle, and the tired corpse, fighting with the enemy.
Now the two sides have fallen into a meaningless tug of war, but they can only continue.
It's like two giants fighting. Although they are panting and their tired tongues are about to spit out, they can only use the last bit of strength to knock down the enemy as much as possible, otherwise it is him who falls. Yourself.
In this situation, all strategies and tricks have no effect. Not to mention the art of command. The generals can only be like gamblers throwing dice, sending the soldiers out, and then there is basically nothing to do, quietly waiting for the result. Then, based on the result, decide whether to bet again.
Everyone clearly knows that if there are no other changes, the siege this time will be a long and arduous process like all siege battles in history.
Lorraine and the generals had nothing to do, so they just sat together and chatted nonsense. As a result, public funds can be spent blatantly. Secondly, mutual understanding can also be enhanced.
Seeing the mage rushing in, Lorraine, who was listening to other people telling a joke, stood up and smiled immediately: "My dear Withers, why are you so scared? Did the undead high priest come here?"
Listening to what Lorraine said was interesting, the surrounding generals suddenly chuckled.
Lorraine was very familiar with the mage in charge of the telegraph station. He was also Luo Linna’s classmate and one of Lester’s disciples. He was not bad in ability and knew the basics, so when he recruited Tietong Telegraph Network executives, he was the first one. I chose him.
"It's almost the same." Mage Withers smiled bitterly, then took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Red alert, handsome."
Lorraine was taken aback. The Withers mage usually admires himself, he is a more cheerful figure, certainly not like a serious mage.
Let him show this expression, it can be seen that things will not be easy, Lorraine suddenly had a bad feeling.
He walked quickly over to receive the telegram, opened it and browsed it quickly, and blurted out: "I x, it's really the undead high priest calling here~"
The generals laughed loudly, and someone said, "My lord, you are so humorous."
But then they found that Lorraine was holding the telegram, his face quickly turned pale, his expression terrifying serious, and he fell silent.
You know, even when he was face to face with Hardu, the uncle never showed such an expression.
Let Lorraine show such a solemn expression, showing the seriousness of the matter. Everyone shut their mouths, straightened their bodies and looked at Lorraine with piercing eyes.
"Did something happen?"
Lorraine nodded slowly, and solemnly said: "The Lich attacked Aiting Island, time is right..."
Having said that, he flipped his wrist, looked at the wrist watch, and said, "Uh, an hour and a half ago."
The telegraph network of the Flying Eagle Group transmitted the news to the peacekeeping force headquarters in the shortest time with extremely high efficiency.
The generals were stunned, staring at Lorraine blankly, and found that he didn't seem to be joking. Then they looked at each other with unbelievable expressions.
News thousands of miles away was delivered in just one and a half hours.
What a miraculous thing this is.
It is said that this thing can only be done by the Forbidden Magic Wizard.
But now it is easily done?
Although everyone tried all of them to understand the benefits of telegram, they suddenly realized that it was so fast, but they still felt a little uncomfortable.
It's like going out alone for three years, and then a sudden call from home tells him that his wife has just given birth to a big fat boy, and it always feels like there is a layer of veil, hazy and not real.
After a long silence, the generals who finally woke up to what had happened suddenly burst into a loud noise.
"Aiting Island must not be lost."
"Returning soldiers to rescue, must retake Aiting Island."
"How is the situation now? Is Aiting Island lost?"
"Damn it, how long can our current supply support?"
"..."
The headquarters was noisy and chaotic for a while.
Lorraine waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then to the guard next to him, said: "Go and ask Grand Duke Julian to come back. We must treat this matter with caution."
The man also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.
××××××
At this time, Grand Duke Julian was standing at the front of the camp, holding a binoculars, carefully observing the situation in Khaligarde.
After ten days of siege, the inside and outside of Khaligard saw any changes, except that many places in the city were destroyed by artillery.
Under his feet, the soldiers of the new army are still struggling to transport the soil, filling the trenches dug by the Southern Army, but this speed is like the next Blu-ray high-definition love action movie using dial-up broadband. The eager mood was in sharp contrast with the speed of the tortoise. It's hard to crush your teeth.
If it's just that, forget it.
While they were offensive, the Southern Army shot arrows from time to time in the trenches to harass the new army's actions. Obstruct the actions of the new army.
The archer commanders of the Southern Army are also extremely clever. Although they hide in the trenches and do not show their heads, after every arrow rain, batches of new troops fall.
In order to clean up the archers in the south, the infantry had to be sent out again, and the two sides started a tug of war again...
Lorraine really didn't have this patience, so he slipped away.
Lorraine's adjutant ran over as if his buttocks were on fire, panting and whispering a few words in front of Grand Duke Julian.
The new army general who was supervising the battle next saw the expression of Grand Duke Julian's face instantly changed, but soon returned to normal.
Grand Duke Julian patted the shoulder of the new army general next to him, and said: "Receive your troops, come here first."
The general of the new army looked up at the sky. It was just noon. Normally, the Grand Duke of Julian would not finish the whole day without playing.
Several generals of the new army muttered in their hearts: What's going on today? Did something unexpected happen?
However, although the relationship between the Grand Duke and Queen Isabella is good, compared to the old and the troops, these new troops are raised by stepmothers in the eyes of the Grand Duke, and they don't care much about them.
And a group of new army generals protested a few words at first, but later... they got used to it.
Archduke Julian threw down the new army generals present, jumped on his horse, and hurriedly returned to the headquarters.
After he picked up the curtain and entered the door, he asked in the first sentence: "How is the situation on Aiting Island?"
Lorraine handed the telegram to Archduke Julian, shook his head, and said, "There is only this news. I have asked them to follow up on the latest situation."
Grand Duke Julian's face was equally gloomy and terrifying, and said, "Then we shall plan for the worst."
Lorraine nodded, especially at this time, you can't take a fluke, and deal with it when Aiting Island has been completely destroyed.
Aiting Island is very important, and it is an aorta in the entire transportation logistics line. Once it is pinched off, the consequences are quite serious.
Archduke Julian turned his head to look at the general at his hand, and asked with concern: "Old Borg, how much impact will the loss of Aiding Island have on our logistics?"
General Edberg is one of the confidants of Grand Duke Julian. He is in charge of the logistics of the entire peacekeeping force. He is considered to be the Grand Duke of Julian and one of the big titans under Lorraine.
His immediate secretary is Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine.
Only when Catherine personally took charge of the account books of the peacekeeping forces, Grand Duke Julian and Lorraine could be assured that there would be no inexplicable wear and tear, while Edberg was engaged in specific work.
Edberg pondered for a moment, and said: "The bulk of the logistics supplies transferred or sent via Aiting Island are grain and cloth, accounting for one third of the total logistics.
If it were before this, I would say that the loss of Aiding Island was a fatal blow to us. but now……"
Edberger spread his hands and said: "The impact is not too great. Originally, we had been hoarding supplies on a fully staffed basis. However, since the gradual withdrawal of troops, the number of personnel has been relatively reduced, and our material requirements are only the original. half."
Grand Duke Julian and Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they did not threaten the fundamentals of the peacekeeping forces.
Edberg said relaxedly: "It can basically meet our needs by relying on other shipping routes. Of course, it would be better if Almohad could be squeezed a little bit more."
Grand Duke Julian patted Edberg's shoulder and smiled relievedly: "Old Bourg, you are still reliable at the critical moment."
Edberg smiled lightly.
Archduke Julian turned his head to look at the generals of the peacekeeping force, and said solemnly: "There is still a more important question, are there other areas that have been attacked by Liches?"
Lorraine shook his head and said: "I have not received any news of attacks in other areas, but the attack on Aiting Island cannot be regarded as an isolated incident. Liches don’t make such an incident just for an Aiting Island. There is a big momentum. For the liches, it's not a good deal."
Grand Duke Julian nodded slightly.
Lorraine tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This may be what Hadu called it. Hadu was so calm and even let out words to reverse the battle in three months. I think he is waiting for this day.
Cooperating with the demons and letting them mess up our supply line is really vicious. "
The generals around looked solemn, and someone asked: "Then what should we do now?"
Grand Duke Julian glanced at them and said with a serious face: "First of all, let me say that the war before us will not stop. Khaligard must win and Haddou must die. Otherwise, the sacrifices and huge manpower we paid in the first half of the year The financial resources are wasted."
Lorraine nodded and said, "This is the premise. Our primary goal is to ensure the ultimate victory of the peacekeeping force."
Grand Duke Julian snorted, smiled confidently, and said, "Hadu thought this was his opportunity? Let him dream. But if the Lich expands the scope of the sneak attack to all our shipping ports, Hardu's goal may be It can really be achieved."
Grand Duke Julian looked at the generals in front of the seats one by one, and said: "We must ensure that the logistics supply line is unblocked."
Lorraine smiled slightly and said, "Then I will go."
Grand Duke Julian nodded "Well" and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Lorraine is indeed the most suitable candidate.
Lorraine and the Liches have rich combat experience and are more adept at dealing with special warfare.
After several times under the Ruman Empire, no one was more suitable to deal with the Lich than Lorraine.
Lorraine stood up against the table and said, "It should not be too late, I will start preparing now."
"What else is needed? Just say it." Grand Duke Julian said simply.
Lorraine shook his head and said, "The assistance I need most is not here, but in Vantino."
Lorraine now thought of several old men of the Holy See who dared to attack the undead high priest, ascetic monks who had dedicated their lives to holy arts.
These old guys, who seem to be able to hang up at any time, are the most powerful fighting power behind Vantino.
Unlike the intrigue of the cardinals, the ascetic devotes all his energy to the pursuit of more powerful holy arts.
The meaning of their existence is to fight against the dark life, or simply the undead high priest himself.
The liches came to sneak attack on their supply lines, they must be the same as when they went to the Semitic continent, playing a special war with high IQ and quick response.
The number of people sneaking in is unlikely to be too many, and the second action is to change a place with one shot.
To capture them, the most powerful candidate is a powerful priest or paladin.
Grand Duke Julian also understood the idea.
"But, sir, should I inform Ruman City first, and they should send troops to deal with it?" A general next to him looked worried and said: "It's only three thousand miles away from Hafs Harbor. Wait until the deputy commander-in-chief rushes all the way. When I arrive at Aiting Island, I am afraid that the situation is out of control."
"Since there is a telegram, we can now let Vantino cooperate with Ruman City and send troops together to destroy the Lich on Aiting Island."
This suggestion seems to be the fastest to implement at present, and several generals nodded in agreement.
Pope Hillmelia is not far behind, and she can directly send orders to Vantino to mobilize the power of the Holy See.
From Harrygard all the way to Aiting Island, the distance was over four thousand miles. Even at the fastest speed, it would take almost a month. By then, I am afraid that the entire Aiting Island will become a skeleton.
On the contrary, it takes Ruman to the nearest port, and it only takes four and a half days to reach Aiding Island.
Archduke Julian and Lorraine showed confident smiles at the same time.
Lorraine waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. We can have the fastest transportation of our time."
The generals scratched their heads inexplicably, what is so powerful.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Grand Duke Julian said with a smile: "War fortress~"
Several generals slapped their foreheads, and everyone suddenly realized that with that thing, the distance of four thousand miles might be a day and a night. The operating cost of the war fortress is really too expensive~EbookFREE.me~ burns the magic spar, which is more expensive than gold, and the wallet is slightly deflated.
Lorraine said, "A few days ago, I had prepared the completed war fortress by Fengye Danlin, and they could set off at any time."
××××××××
Since noon that day, the telegraph station of the peacekeeping force has become unprecedentedly busy.
The telegraph hasn't stopped for a moment.
Pushing the frontline command to Grand Duke Julian, Lorraine simply squatted in the telegraph station, waiting for first-hand news.
The telegram to the war fortress requested by Fengye Danlin has been sent.
Luo Linna only replied "Go now".
This simple first sentence suddenly relieved Lorraine a lot. Although he does not yet know him, he has at least become a confidant and is already invincible. The remaining problem is to solve them all before the enemy can cause much damage to himself. To be continued.
