A hundred kilometers away from the northern border of the empire, the expeditionary army of the civilizations of all realms is resting here.

The giant eagle soaring in the sky quickly landed, turned into a human form, and reported the situation to Zhou Yi, Gao Wen and others who were sitting there...

"Report to General, the location of the enemy's border fortress has been confirmed..."

While speaking, Air Force Captain Krader looked at the map and quickly made a detailed report.

After confirming various intelligence information, Zhou Yi asked aloud while sorting out his thoughts...

"Captain Krader, have you found any enemy wingmen?"

"Report to the general that there are a small number of wingmen hovering over the enemy's trenches."

"What is the length of the enemy's outer trench?"

"The enemy's outer trenches are extremely long, and they are all reinforced semi-permanent trenches. Although they have not been measured in detail, according to the officer's personal judgment, it is impossible to bypass that line of defense. I am afraid that it will be an ordinary bypass.

, you will be intercepted and killed by the enemy garrison."

At this moment, Zhou Yi acted very cautiously, quickly confirming information one after another. The closer he got to the enemy's border defense line, the slower he slowed down.

Surprise attack? Hehe, he could definitely imagine that the opponent had definitely planted a large number of mines in the outer area, so a surprise attack was impossible.

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Yi let out a breath of hot air. It was already early winter. If possible, he still hoped to capture the enemy's border fortress before the weather got colder, so that they could

There is a place to shelter from the wind and snow.

Otherwise, it would be too easy for diseases to break out while marching outside in the middle of winter.

After a short rest, the army quickly moved on again.

Some time passed, and as the temperature gradually dropped, the expeditionary army of civilizations from all over the world officially came to the border!

Qazi Passi, who received the news immediately, led his troops directly and rushed to the northern front at high speed.

Behind the battle line, a full 130 cannons were ready to attack.

This can be regarded as the benefit of local operations. Heavy ordnance can be mobilized in large quantities without having to consider transportation and logistics issues.

On the suspended hot air balloon, a scout holding a telescope was carefully observing the enemy's position.

On the map of their empire, basically every inch of land has clear coordinates marked according to scale.

As a scout dedicated to the artillery unit, he already knew the coordinates in his mind. He could quickly report the enemy's current position without consulting a map.

"Confirmation of shelling coordinates, (391,267,189)"

While he was talking, another soldier next to him quickly wrote the coordinates on the paper, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and slid down the rope that tied the hot air balloon.

The soldier waiting below quickly pulled the note out of the bamboo tube, then ran all the way and handed it to the commander-in-chief of the artillery unit.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief who received the message took a deep breath and shouted loudly...

"Adjust the bombardment coordinate position, (391,267,189), fire!!!"

Amidst the roar, the black muzzles of the cannons moved for a while, and suddenly spewed out fiery snakes. The thunderous roar of artillery fire echoed on the northern front, and the flying shells were directed towards them before they entered their field of vision.

The expeditionary army swept over!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

The expeditionary army was subjected to long-range artillery fire from the Europa side and fell into a brief panic.

In the past, their troops in the southern border, due to the restrictions of the mountainous terrain, mostly used mountain cannons with a relatively limited artillery range. They had little experience in dealing with ultra-long-range artillery attacks by such cannons.

The other party had the head start, and it did have an impact on them.

However, Zhouyi obviously wasn't so disorganized.

He immediately activated a wave of skills, while stabilizing his morale, he quickly signaled his artillery troops to launch a counterattack.

Flying in the air, Captain Krader quickly confirmed the location of the enemy artillery unit. However, since they were not familiar with this terrain, it was obviously impossible to have any coordinate marks on the map.

In this way, he could only report a general location. The next step would naturally depend on the skills of the dwarf artillerymen.

And at the same time, the scout on the opposite hot air balloon spoke again...

"Bombardment coordinate calibration, (390,264,185)"

After one round of bombardment, the second-calibrated bombardment coordinates were quickly transmitted. The Europa artillery force, which had taken the lead, quickly launched a more precise second round of bombardment.

During this period, the artillery unit of the expeditionary army also launched a counterattack not to be outdone.

However, the dwarf artillerymen, who were unable to obtain accurate coordinates, acted like a group of severely short-sighted people at this time, and one round of artillery fire missed too far.

Even high-explosive shells with range damage would hardly pose a threat to enemy artillery units in this case, let alone fire suppression.

Obviously, they who were not familiar with the terrain would find it difficult to gain any advantage in a short period of time if they competed with long-range artillery fire. Realizing this, Zhou Yi decisively ordered the main army to advance, and at the same time asked the elf priests to quickly use

After the buff spell, the air force was dispatched even more forcefully!

On the northern front of the Europa garrison, the alarm was loud. The Swift Eagle Drivers and Giant Eagle Knights, temporarily commanded by Major Clark, approached the enemy position as quickly as possible, trying to launch aerial bombardments against the enemy artillery units to suppress the fire and open up the battle.

The beginning of the counterattack.

However, Kaz Passi was undoubtedly well prepared for this expected move.

Before they could get close, the aerial troops composed of Flügel were already attacking!

As they spread their wings and fly into the air, the blessing and divine blessing skills are quickly added. Although after losing the prayer team, the use of magic depends on the faith accumulated in their own bodies, but there are only two simple auxiliary magics.

, they still have no pressure to perform.

The two air forces, already old rivals, soon started fighting in the sky above the northern border of the empire.

In this battle, Clark, who was commanding an entire army for the first time, expressed great pressure. He quickly glanced around and saw that the hot air balloon flying high in the sky behind the enemy was really eye-catching.

Anyone who is not stupid can guess that it is definitely the scout on the hot air balloon who is always locking the position of the main force behind them.

Clark wanted to shoot down the hot air balloon with an arrow.

But those Flügels were so annoying that he couldn't get away from them at all.

At this moment, this aerial battle can be said to have reached a stalemate as soon as it started.
Chapter completed!
