Chapter 102: The Gate of War

After arranging the base, Ferlig brought everyone to the gate of war. This was a huge cave that could not be seen at first sight. It was ten kilometers wide and could travel three to five legions at the same time. The cave was 2,000 kilometers long and was a straight cave. The edges of the cave walls were neatly cut out with a knife.

In the cave, the two walls were filled with magic bull turbulent oil lamps. Every 100 meters, there were a two-meter-high wooden stake standing up. There were also two oil lamps on the wooden stakes. Looking out from the outside of the cave, there were stars and stars, and I don’t know how many. A gust of cold wind blew out from the cave, which was creepy. A group of soldiers passed by, holding torches in their hands, marched towards the front line overnight.

No wonder Marshal Ned had to set out immediately. If he wanted to pass through this dark, two thousand kilometers long cave, it would be a few days. From here, it would take at least five or six days to reach it.

After dawn, the team entered the cave. Although the cave was ten kilometers wide, after entering a few kilometers, looking back, the entrance of the cave was just a small highlight. Fortunately, there were countless torches around him, lined up in a row of long queues, maintaining a distance of hundreds of meters between each other. The voices of the commissar came out and came out, making people feel much better.

After entering the cave for a hundred kilometers, the team slowed down. Only then did Ferig realize that a defense line of several hundred meters deep was built in the cave in front. There were more oil lamps here, shining the surroundings as daytime. Under the oil lamp, the defending soldiers looked pale and looked a little gloomy.

On this day, the Hurricane Division advanced 300 kilometers, which was much faster than other troops. After passing through three lines of defense, it turned out that in this hole, there was a similar line of defense every 100 kilometers.

Ferlig and everyone remained silent. Not many of them knew military affairs, which could be seen. The front-line command post attached great importance to this place, even though it had already entered the Western Continent, it still set up so many defense lines here.

"Can they really attack?" Feleg asked softly.

"It is hard to say that any war between the two continents is a place where everything is possible. This is also in case of emergency. When large corps fight, what is most needed is time, even these defense lines. Each one can only block the other side for a few hours, which is worth it." Wu Li said in a deep voice. He no longer has much confidence in command now. This is not a war of tens of thousands of people, but an unprecedented war between hundreds of millions of soldiers between the two continents.

"Who is in command?" Feleg asked.

"It is jointly commanded by four empires, but the most important one is the commander of the Viking Empire, who are most familiar with the battle formation. Moreover, this is their country, and they also have advantages in terms of geography." Phil replied that most of the eight empires on the continent are mainly cavalry, not entirely because the cavalry has higher combat effectiveness.

In fact, the Viking Iron Armored Bronze Man and Gothic Spike Matrix are both nemesis of cavalry, and only the Wind God Chariot is the natural enemy of infantry. These two empires dominated by infantry have unique characteristics in command.

Marching in the cave. Even though there were turbulent lamps everywhere, the speed was still not fast. It was not until the afternoon of the sixth day that a little light from the sun was seen from afar and shot into the cave from the front.

Although the light was very weak, it was much brighter than the turbulent lamp. Feleg saw a group of wounded soldiers in the distance. He supported each other and moved towards the east continent.

In the last line of defense, Ferig asked the commander of the line of defense, and asked for half a minute before he could figure out most of the matters on the front line. Three days ago, the front line had already started a general attack, with very strong attacks, and thirty legions attacked the entire line. The results were brilliant. Three million troops were divided into six routes. They advanced to the western continent.

Filig looked back at Phil and got an agreement from his eyes. It seemed that he had started with the front finger. He didn't expect that they were so fast, and he didn't know what method they used to convey the orders. It was very difficult to command millions of people fighting, and just passing on the orders is enough for people to have a headache.

In addition to the battle reports on the front line, Ferlig also unexpectedly got news about the battlefield on the southern front, which was half a month ago. The gate of the southern front war was discovered by the people of the Western Continent, but the movement was slower than that of the Eastern Continent, especially the archers of the Tianlang Empire, with first-class speed.

After the first battle on the northern line battlefield, the war started on the southern line. Like the northern line, we sang all the way and achieved better results than the northern line. It is said that it has advanced to the inland area of ​​five or six thousand kilometers in the Western Continent. In addition to sweeping the enemy on the front line, it has also entered the territory of an empire in the Western Continent and plundering ten cities in a row. As for the news behind, because the road is too far, there is no new news yet.

Ferge, Phil and others gathered together, and took advantage of the light of several magic lamps to look at the map of the East Continent flat on the ground. Many contents have been marked on it, including the two war gates of the north and the south, the six defense lines in the west continent of the north and the west, and some pitifully few geographical signs.

As for the southern front, there is almost no information except the war gate. Not to mention the Western Continent, even the Eastern Continent has many troops.

"It makes no sense." Fellig sighed softly.

"Tell me what you think." Magician Ien said. Among these people, he was the one who had the least research on military affairs and devoted almost all his time to magic practice.

"We lost the battle in the continent two thousand years ago. In other words, the Western Continent received the God's gift at least a thousand years earlier than us. According to this inference, it is impossible to be so weak. We first discovered the war gate on the northern line, so it is normal for the better results here. Moreover, I see that the front finger is very careful. There are at least dozens of defense lines from the front line to the command post of the eastern continent. But there..." Feleg used his finger to draw a circle on the war gate on the southern line.

"Well, Filigo is right, but I also think that the front finger of our North Line is a bit too careful. At least in the early stages of the war, we definitely have the upper hand, and there is no need to be so careful." Phil said, he was still optimistic about the situation on the North Line. As for the South Line, there is no intelligence, so it is useless to guess here.

Several people were discussing, and an emergency order from the command center came from the front, requiring the Hurricane Division to advance overnight and must arrive at the Western Continent Front Base Camp tomorrow afternoon.

There is no difference between day and night in the cave. The Hurricane Division has been marching in such an environment for several days, so the speed of marching at night is not slow, not to mention the guide assigned by the previous one.

However, the distance was much further than Ferlig imagined. He originally thought that it would be enough to go out of the cave entrance, but because of three additional lines of defense, the front-line base camp advanced 200 kilometers westward.

One night and one morning, the Hurricane Division stayed asleep and even ate on the horse's back. Finally, as required by the order, he arrived at the front-line base camp before noon the next day.

This place is somewhat similar to the base camp in the East Continent. The front-line command center, logistics command post, organization center, and communication and contact center are not far away. However, there are not as good conditions here as the East Continent, and there are no noble patrol groups, and there are tall tents everywhere.

Before the troops were set up, the orders from the previous command had arrived, a map, ten scout guides, and a letter of order. The troops could only continue to advance, but fortunately the distance was not far, only eighty kilometers. There was also a battle report that arrived at the same time. Two days ago, three Mayan light cavalry regiments returned to the base camp, suffered heavy losses, and there was still an Iron Rose Legion, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Even the high-level warriors could not bear it after marching for two days and one night. Fortunately, the order was not required to set up camp and set up camp, and they fell asleep. Except for a few star officers, patrol teams, scouts, and light and dark posts, there were only Ferlig and his group.

Among this group, the magicians hardly need to sleep, and it is not a problem for the Martial Saint to not sleep for three to five days. Time is so tight that the final discussion was held before departure. Among these people, including Phil and Wu Li, there is no real experience in leading the army.

The order from the front point is very simple. This assault on the Western Continent was cancelled, and the feint attack was turned into a real battle. I hope that all the enemy troops in front of them could be eliminated before the reinforcements of the Western Continent arrived, and it also facilitated the Hurricane Division to enter the mainland of the Western Continent.

Just midnight today, the second wave of attacks will reach its climax. The Western Continent's already unbearable defense line will not be much better than the sieve after the second wave of attacks. There are loopholes everywhere. The Hurricane Division has only 10,000 troops. Just find a gap to pass.

According to the reconnaissance cavalry sent by the front line, more reinforcements from the Western Continent are about to arrive, but these legions stopped at a distance of 100 kilometers from the front line. According to the speculation from the front line, the enemy is waiting for the subsequent troops to arrive. It is very likely that after this battle, the northern line will temporarily enter the defensive stage. The specific details depend on how many reinforcements there are in the Western Continent this time.

Even if Ferlig doesn't know much about military affairs, he knows that the Western Continent is completely correct to do this. The Eastern Continent has now prevailed, and there is no doubt that if reinforcements are allowed to increase their source in batches, it is a so-called tactic of adding fuel to military strategists. Even the stupidest commander will not make such a choice.

Even if the initiative has been lost, it is the best choice to abandon the remnants of the front line. It sounds very cruel. The army of hundreds of thousands or millions has been abandoned in this way. Felleg has to admire the courage of the commander of the Western Continent.

"This is nothing strange. The first ones arrived were usually reconnaissance troops. The nearest city defense troops, security troops and other miscellaneous troops will not have high combat effectiveness. Therefore, there is nothing to be proud of in the victory in front of us. This is why we still have to continuously build defense lines during great victory." Wu Li said.

"Yes, even if we really defeat the Western Continental Army, these defenses will still be strengthened. At the entrance of the Western Continent of the Gate of War, several strong cities will be built to defend against the Western Continent's counterattack." Phil nodded and said.
