Chapter 432: Sand and Dust Storm
"That is, as long as we hit the past by surprise, Emperor Shitian's little strength is not worth mentioning at all. ”
"Hehe, we're a bit of a bully this time!"
"Haha, you deserve it, who called Emperor Shi Tian so stupid? If you offend everyone, you don't even dare to sell arms at will, this is simply looking for your own death, I have never seen such a stupid fool. ”
When Princess Claire heard that someone said that Emperor Shi Tian was a fool, she couldn't help but curse in her heart, "If he is a fool, then what are you people who have been beaten into dogs by fools?"
And at this time, everyone suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing, and the fatigue was blown away a lot.
But at the juncture when they felt comfortable, they suddenly found that small sands began to appear in the cool breeze.
At first, the little sand was very small, and it was very small, and everyone didn't take it seriously.
But soon, the sand became more and more abundant, so that everyone could not open their eyes or open their mouths.
In this way, Princess Claire and they have woken up no matter how stupid they are, this is by no means an ordinary natural phenomenon.
The crowd hurried to look in the direction where the wind and sand were blowing, and they were astonished.
It turned out that the distant field of vision, which was relatively clear in the fluorescence, had been completely obscured by the yellow wind and sand, and the army in front of him could not even be seen.
Princess Claire immediately stood up in shock and shouted, "This is not right, the dungeon doesn't even have a strong wind, how can such a huge sandstorm occur? someone must have cast a spell!"
"I felt the fluctuations of the magic power, and there were many fluctuations, very complex and huge, obviously multiple people casting spells. ”
"Damn, it can't be Emperor Shi Tian knocking on the door, right?"
"Whether it is or not, the top priority is to prepare for battle!" Princess Claire immediately shouted: "Immediately send my order, stop resting, and prepare for battle!"
As Princess Claire's order was given, the troops, who were originally lighting a fire and cooking, immediately stopped and hurriedly began to look for their weapons and equipment.
The most unlucky warriors who took off their heavy armor had to be put back one by one.
Such a huge corps has just been ordered to rest, and it has not been a few minutes before everyone has regrouped for battle, which is obviously difficult to do in a short period of time, so there is chaos everywhere in the barracks, and even the most elite troops cannot be restored in a short time.
Seeing this situation, the dragon boy couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness Princess, hurry up and let the mage cast a spell to disperse their violent wind!"
"But~" Princess Claire said with a look of embarrassment: "This wind has almost covered our hundreds of thousands of troops, and if you want to disperse it, it will cost at least half of the magic power of all mages!
You must know that the anti-imperialist alliance led by Princess Claire, after all, is not old and has a weak background, although it seems to be strong on the surface, and there are a lot of arms, but the real Dinghai Divine Needle, the mage army, is not much, and the average number of each lord is less than a hundred.
With more than a dozen lords combined, the number of mages is only a thousand, and most of them are bronze mages, with less than ten silver.
And these mages, after a day's rapid march, blessed hundreds of thousands of people with spells, they were already too tired, and even 1/3 of their mana was left.
In other words, if you want the mages to disperse these winds, you have to let them take the mana potion first, and then pay more than half of the total mana.
Mana potions are not a bargain, even if they are bronze-level, they will cost dozens of bronze law coins to buy.
And this thing can only be used once when fighting, and the efficiency of the second use is reduced by more than half, and the third use is completely ineffective.
Therefore, generally speaking, only one bottle of mana potion is equipped for the mage troops, which is already a relatively tyrant lord.
Most lords don't even have the money to equip all their mages with mana potions.
Princess Claire is naturally the lord of the wealth, and the anti-imperialist alliance she leads is not short of money, so each mage has a bottle of mana potion, but after using it, half of the mana must be consumed to expel the wind, in this case, the amount of mana left for each of them may not even be 1/4.
Because the mana potion can't fill up all the mana, at most it's only half.
And if the mage only has 1/4 of the mana left, hehe, the combat power will become scum.
Especially when this firearm is rampant, there are not enough mages to protect the army, and they will definitely be beaten by other people's anger, which is extremely embarrassing.
Therefore, after listening to Princess Claire's words, many lords were also immediately embarrassed.
If you disperse the sandstorm, you will lose the support of the mage, but if you don't disperse them, you will be vulnerable to being attacked in the fog, which is a real dilemma.
And just as they hesitated, suddenly, a violent explosion erupted inside the army that had first come into contact with the wind.
This army was the right flank of Princess Claire's army, with 50,000 cavalry, occupying a piece of land within a radius of about ten miles.
Even the howling wind could not completely hide the explosions in the distance.
Even Princess Claire and the others could vaguely see large fireballs rising into the air, even the violent sandstorm could not hide the fire generated by the violent explosion.
Hearing this voice, everyone's faces suddenly changed greatly, "Damn, this is the sound of a 250-mm heavy cannon exploding." ”
"At least a thousand artillery pieces must have been fired to hear the sound, and oh my God, even the earth is starting to tremble!"
"This is a trap, Emperor Shi Tian knew that we would stop here, so he deliberately waited for us here!"
"What can I do! Hurry up and get an idea, my army is on the right flank!"
At this time, Princess Claire, who was the leader of the alliance, bravely stood up and said, "What are you panicking about? We have more than 500,000 troops, and no matter how good Emperor Shi Tian is, it is impossible to eat them all in one go." ”
Hearing this, everyone finally regained their calm, but this was only a superficial phenomenon, and his slightly trembling hands were enough to explain their inner struggle and suffering.
Princess Claire didn't bother to pay attention to this, and directly frowned: "Now we only have two choices, withdraw immediately, or take the initiative to attack!"
"This~" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it's hard to choose.
The wild boar boy was the most impulsive, and shouted directly: "Of course it's to fight over! I don't believe that Emperor Shi Tian can withstand the onslaught of our more than 500,000 elites!"
"Why don't you believe it? Since this guy is waiting for us here, he is naturally fully prepared, and he will definitely die if he rushes forward. If you want me to say, while the loss is not big now, it is better to withdraw quickly!"
"That's right, we've been on the road for a day, we're exhausted, the mage's mana is seriously insufficient, and the vision is restricted, so many unfavorable situations add up, we can't fight at all?"
"But where can we escape? We are already exhausted, can we escape the Emperor Shi Tian who has been working for a lifetime? You know, that guy's basic class is a crazy iron dog who is good at running, do you want to run faster than these silicon-based biological dogs?"
"Running away is bound to die, and it's not worth it. Rather than fleeing from the battle like this, it is better to fight to the death, even if it is death, it is a hero. ”
"Besides, we may not lose, now Emperor Shi Tian is already the target of everyone, in the second layer of the dungeon, hundreds of lords of the two major alliances began to besiege Emperor Shi Tian's territory from all directions, that guy is definitely too busy to take care of himself, there should not be too many troops who don't know this layer!"
"That's right, it's likely that Emperor Shi Tian is using an empty city plan to scare us away. And if we are really fooled, it will be equivalent to 500,000 Jingrui army being scared away by just a few cannons, if this spreads, how will we see people in the future?"
"That's right, now that it's over, it's better to fight, and maybe there is still a chance to win!" said others.
When Princess Claire saw that everyone was saying this, she immediately said: "Okay, I order, the front, middle and rear armies will immediately attack in the direction of the wind, and the right flank troops will follow." ”
"Yes!" everyone immediately agreed, and then went down to give the order.
And at this point, the question comes back to the first one, do you want to disperse this damn sandstorm?
Princess Claire took the veil handed over by her subordinates, covered her face, and then said hatefully: "The sandstorm is so annoying, our warriors can't even see what is 50 meters away, how can we shoot in this situation?"
"I think it's actually a good thing!" said one guy, "We can't see them, and they can't see us, but we can make them safe under the cover of artillery fire." ”
"How stupid do you have to be to say such a thing?" Before Princess Claire could retort, the boar boy sneered and said, "Have you forgotten what the main army of Emperor Shi Tian is made of? It's the damn cave people, those guys are blind in the first place, you can rely on catching your opponents, this sandstorm has no effect on them at all! So, only our vision is limited, and people can wantonly target us from a distance." ”
The wild boar boy once suffered a big loss from Emperor Shi Tian because of the characteristics of the cave man, so he remembered it vividly, and at this time, he naturally thought of this matter instantly.
Princess Claire nodded approvingly, and said, "What he said is not wrong at all, Emperor Shi Tian is not an idiot, how can it affect himself with such a large amount of magic power?
"Why don't you just disperse the sandstorm?" asked a man next to him, frowning.
"I also think it should be removed, the wind blowing in this sandstorm is too fierce, not to mention there are seven or eight levels, the other party is a tailwind, but we have to advance against the wind, once the cavalry hedges, short-handed, we will suffer a big loss. ”
