"No matter how strong the wall is, if you don't have a strong heart, no matter how good the situation is, the city will eventually fall, and conversely, if everyone has a heart of steel, then even if it is carried out in a ruin, the enemy will not be able to push any further." - The commander of the 21st Heavy Regiment of the Sunset Regiment stood on the second wall of the 17th Acropolis when the first wall of the 17th Acropolis was breached, and then he was killed in the covering blow of the Dinghai Battleship, but his words not only inspired the defenders of the 17th Acropolis, but also spread throughout the Lower Maginot Line.

In mid-February, as the Western Regions of the Central Continent entered the middle of the last month of winter in the King's Continent, the water surface of the King's Inland Sea was once again covered by fog and blizzards, but this time it was no longer the fleet of the Great Empire on which the sun never set, but on the side of the Divine Light Empire that originally hated the blizzard and the fog on the sea: as the two fleets of the Sun Never Set disappeared in front of the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Light Empire relied on a crippled fleet, The four fleets, which had more or less losses in fleet configuration, finally pocketed the Rasman Islands and Enoch Islands, which had been scorched again after the withdrawal of the two fleets of the Great Empire, and at the same time pushed the range of activities of the Great Empire of Divine Light to the coastal line of the Western Regions of the Central Continent, that is, before the Lower Maginot Line.

Although in terms of territorial contention, the Divine Light Empire has only captured two islands that cannot be reached by one of the Empire's territorial districts and small cities, and it is also two archipelago that have all been scorched earth, but in fact, this is a big step towards the focus of victory for the Divine Light Empire: although the distance between Vadano Island and the Lower Maginot Line is not too long for a group of ships that can sail far, But this is only for those ocean-going warships, and this distance is a little too long for the short-term fleet. And it is unfortunate for the Holy Light Empire, because the small transport ships of the Holy Light Empire are all short-voyage warships, and if you want to keep the front-line warships with sufficient strategic resources for those warships, the best way is to invest a large number of short-voyage transport ships, relying on the number to make the supply line that maintains the fleet consume become like the blood of the human body can continuously deliver supplies to the front line, so before that, when the army of the Holy Light Empire began to attack the Maginot Line, Whether it is the ships of the Great Empire of Light located outside the Lower Maginot Line, or even the soldiers of the Great Empire of Light who have been trying to capture the walls of the Lower Maginot Line, they often face a shortage of war materials, but now it is different. Because they have the Lasman Islands and the Enoch Islands, although these two islands are already scorched earth, at least these two islands can park their cargo and give those short-voyage warships of the Holy Light Empire a chance to stop and rest.

In addition, those blizzards were after the Great Empire of Divine Light acquired the Rasman Islands and the Enoch Islands. This gives the Divine Light Empire a chance to use these blizzards to launch a surprise attack on the Maginot Line, and of course the chance of this happening is less than one in a hundred: although the fleet of the sun never sets is temporarily gone. And through the interception of high-level spies hidden in the Lower Maginot Line, the Sun Never Sets was in fact voluntarily released by the Sun Never Setting Empire. The two Sunset Fleets will not return to the Maginot Line for at least 3 months in the near future, but the Sunset Royal Gryphon Knights, who can work at high altitude in the bad weather of the winter on the King Continent, have not disappeared, and on the contrary, after the Day Never Sets fleet leaves, these Sunset Royal Griffon Knights have more attendance than before, so. In fact, the area between the Lasman Islands, the Enoch Islands, and the Lower Maginot Line was all set up with hundreds of thousands of eyes on the side of the Sunset Empire, and under such circumstances, it was even more difficult for the Holy Light Empire to launch a surprise attack on the Lower Maginot Line, at least until the griffon troops sent by the Griffon Empire came to contain the royal griffin knights of the Sunset Empire.

And what is the biggest headache for the Divine Light Empire. Because of the physique of the Sunset Empire and the characteristics of the royal griffons, the royal griffin knights of the Sunrise Empire have the ability to work in the cold and high altitude in winter, but the griffin troops of the Griffon Empire do not have this ability, after all, the griffin knights of the Griffon Empire ride ordinary griffins, and the griffin knights of the Griffon Empire are all human races living in the warm climate of the Mediterranean climate, and such a configuration is obviously impossible to make the griffin knights of the Griffin Empire, In the current situation of the Maginot Line in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, perhaps only in the spring, the griffin knights of the Griffin Empire can participate in the battle of the Maginot Line, but by that time, the winter blizzard has stopped, and the fog on the sea will not be too much in the spring, and it will be even more difficult for the Holy Light Empire to make a surprise attack.

However, although the Divine Light Empire seems to have the upper hand at present, in fact, until now, the Divine Light Empire has been suppressed by the Sun's Never Setting side in terms of combat, or it can also be said that until now, the Divine Light Empire has not made any progress in the offensive against the Lower Maginot Line: at the beginning, the Divine Light Empire did not have its own strength because it knew that the Sun Never Sets Empire's side did not have its own troops, so it planned to use an all-front offensive method to play with the Sunset Empire. But apparently after a few weeks of fighting, the Great Empire of Divine Light understood from so many days of fighting that attacking those non-Acropolis areas, including the walls around the Acropolis, was an act of seeking death.

First of all, the giant stone barriers set up by the Sunset Empire in the beach area forced most of the Divine Light Empire warships to be unable to carry out landing battles, even if they could land forcibly, then before the end of the war, or before the Maginot Line was fully captured, it would be impossible for the Holy Light Empire to get these warships back, and with the style of the Sunset Army, any of the Divine Light Empire warships intercepted by the giant stone barriers, It is estimated that they will be burned in one day by the asphalt clay pots thrown by the Sunset side with the Jar Throwing Bow (the reason for this is not that the Sunset side burns these warships with the mood that they can't get it and wants others to get it, but that the Sunset side doesn't bother to seize the Holy Light Empire, these battleships that are serious sailors in Sunset and are simply junk goods).

The destruction of the battleship is a small matter, but the remains of the battleship that remain are the big thing: although the remains of the battleship become an obstacle on the beach, making it impossible for long-range weapons on the side of the sun to hit the ships of the Great Empire of Light that are struggling towards the coast at short and medium range. Assault boats. But this also caused the troops of the Great Empire of Divine Light to attack the city wall to be impossible to gather together, and could only raid towards the city wall in a sporadic way, and this situation was completely a food delivery for the side of the sun that never set with extremely sufficient combat resources (knowing how sufficient the storage of combat resources on the side of the sun never set on the road was sufficient, so sufficient that during the battle, many of the soldiers who guarded the wall section of the Maginot Line and controlled the sunset wells that were converted from battlements believed that On his side, he was able to use the corpses of those fallen stones and the corpses of the soldiers of the Great Empire of Divine Light to pile up another layer of walls in front of the first wall of the Lower Maginot Line).

Secondly, although there were currently only two walls in the section of the Lower Maginot Line, the so-called more fortified third wall had so far only been completed by the giant towers that appeared on the construction drawings in the drawing up the construction plan. As for the walls, until now the foundations have only been laid. However, in terms of defensive power, the section of the wall of the Lower Maginot Line still has the ability to sink any medium-sized warship of the Great Divine Light Empire, including medium-sized warships, in an instant, because under the frenzied production of the artillery workshop of the Western Regions Quartermaster Division of the Continent that the sun never sets, most of the walls of the Lower Maginot Line are equipped with the best craftsmanship (the comparison here is the artillery casting technique when the original world could only produce long-barreled cannons).

Although until now. Gun No. 2, that is, the long-barreled run, was not very numerous in terms of numbers. Under the frantic and guaranteed quality production, the previous number of guns produced No. 1 was reached. However, the No. 2 gun, with its performance several times higher than the No. 1 gun, was definitely able to compare it with the No. 1 gun by 1 to 10: in terms of performance, firstly, the No. 2 gun had a range twice as high as the No. 1 gun, and secondly, the No. 2 gun, after countless improvements in the barrel, had been transformed to have a good accuracy and a parabolic trajectory that would never change. This means that the solid shells fired by the long-barreled cannon will start to fall after flying a certain distance, which makes the No. 2 gun easier to aim, and has a chance to cross some low obstacles to bombard the enemy behind the obstacle under certain circumstances, which makes the No. 2 gun not only greatly increase in lethality (no matter how powerful it is, what is the use of not hitting it all the time). Only if the power can be transmitted to the target to be hit can it be regarded as real lethality), at the last time, the No. 2 gun can be installed with a kind of shell that will explode at a certain time after firing the cannon - flowering shell, although the flowering shell sometimes explodes next to the soldier's voice in terms of lethality, it may not be able to kill the enemy, but this shell is indeed the same range-killing weapon as the No. 1 grenade, and the sound of this shell after the explosion can hurt the ears of many soldiers around, Even causing the soldier to cause a certain degree of tinnitus and lose judgment for a short period of time, which can be said to be very effective in large legion combat, although the accuracy of gun 2 will be the same as gun 1 when firing this shell, but the effect of area kill can cover all shame.

The last and most important point is that the Staff of Judgment, the wall-splitting weapon of the Divine Light Empire, was solved by the Sea Clan Behemoth invited by the Sunset Party, or more precisely the Sunset Party, which led to the Divine Light Empire, although it still had as many as 20 Sea-Fixing Warships in its hands, but in the end it could only stare at the huge walls of the Lower Maginot Line.

"Ahh It's a sea monster! Giant sea monsters! "In the desperate gaze of many sailors of the Great Empire of Divine Light, countless thick tentacles stretched out from the water and quickly wrapped around their targets - those Sea-Fixing Battleships carrying 10 "Staff of Judgment": although the tentacles of the king squid are very soft on the surface, in fact, the tentacles of the king squid are as hard as stones, as for the reason is very simple, in many years of life on the bottom of the king's inland sea, the king squid in order to adapt to the changing environment of the seabed, He learned how to use the only remaining blood in his body to mobilize it in any area of his body, so that the congested body parts of the king squid can become as hard as a rock, so the king squid can turn its tentacles into an existence that can pierce any warship in naval battles.

"Bump, bump, bump." In the sound of wood breaking. The raided Dinghai battleship was pierced by countless tentacles one after another in a short period of time, making these huge wooden sea mobile platforms become a hornet's nest-like existence, and at the same time, the king squid who had been told before was piercing at the same time, it was very cunning to use those pierced by itself to form holes, and then his tentacles penetrated deep into it and then touched out the "staff of judgment" that was targeted by it, so that the king squid completed the task that he had to complete in this operation at the beginning, And then it's time to participate in the 3-headed King Squid of the Staff of Judgment.

"Shoot these tentacles with a giant crossbow! The battleship must be rescued! "Although the navy of the Holy Light Empire is not considered an elite division, but the slums can get out of the millionaires, why can't there be a few brave captains in the ordinary Divine Light Empire's navy? At the sound of the commands of the few captains of the Holy Light Empire who were not afraid of death, the sailors of the Holy Light Empire began to control the triple mechanical crossbows on the warships they were riding. Use those sharp crossbow arrows to start designing those tentacles that float on the water (although the king squid has eyes, but in fact those eyes are a decoration, the real eye of the king squid is actually a small fleshy hole in the head of its tentacles, and the nerve perception part of the king squid at that time, in the water, the king squid can use this thing to distinguish the direction and the surrounding situation. On the surface of the sea, the king squid can also use its wind flowing in the air to perceive the situation on the sea, of course, this judgment on the surface of the water is generally wrong. After all, there are many places in the King's Inland Sea that are windless. Incidentally, the king squid must stick some of its tentacles out of the water if it wants to move on the water.)

To the relief of the Divine Light Empire, any javelin they fired, even the smallest crossbow arrows and bow arrows, could pierce the tentacles of those King Squid, but then to the despair of these Divine Light Empire sailors, these weapons did zero damage to the King Squid, and even to the tentacles of those King Squid. The ranged weapons that pierce the tentacles of the king squid just bring some additional decorations to the tentacles of the king squid: as mentioned earlier, the king squid can transfer the blood of the body to any part of the body, and it is known that the tentacles of creatures like octopuses and squid can regrow after being broken, in this case, in fact, the king squid only needs to transfer the blood of the body. Make this tentacle unconscious.,Then those piercing tentacles won't feel any damage.,The same won't be injured.,Anyway, when the entertainment time is over, those tentacles full of arrows can be removed and let them grow back.。

And just as the soldiers of the Great Empire of Divine Light began to shoot the tentacles that were used as bait by the Great King Squid, the three Great King Squid also started a new round of entertainment: the Great King Squid began to use those tentacles that became as hard as a rock to pierce the battleships of the Great Empire of Divine Light that were guarding the four Dinghai Battleships in front of them

In fact, the king squid does not like to slaughter the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire, or the soldiers of the Holy Light Empire do not want to slaughter those irrelevant lives, the reason why the king squid wants to pierce the warships of the Holy Light Empire with tentacles is because the king squid likes to use its tentacles to pierce the hull of those wooden warships: the IQ of the king squid is only the intelligence of a 5 or 6-year-old child, and piercing those wooden hull boats with tentacles is like a child who loves to play with slides.

Of course, due to the time limit, the king squid is making a big fuss about this lone fleet (as for what to say that this fleet that looks like the main fleet of the Holy Light Empire will be alone, at that time, because the intelligence network of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has been ubiquitous on the King Continent, even if the intelligence network of the Great Empire of the Sun does not set before to avoid the pursuit of the intelligence network of the Great Empire of Divine Light, and all the intelligence personnel in the territory of the Great Empire of Divine Light have been evacuated) After about 10 minutes, he put all his tentacles underwater, And dive to the bottom of the sea to escape the battlefield.

Ten days later, in the middle of February of the 10th year of the new calendar of the Great Empire, the sun never sets, in the port area of Blackstone City, the main city of the Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom in the southern region of the Central Continent.........

"It's here!" Under the gaze of the Fish-Man Warrior and the Knight of the Sunset, countless huge tentacles stretched out from the sea and carried 10 huge dark cylindrical objects.

"Bring these 10 things back to study, and hopefully the Quartermaster will like the gift I gave them." (To be continued......)
