The day after Ye Yang Bailiu arrived in Dada Town, an article titled "Never Back Down" was published in the Dragon City Evening News, the largest newspaper in the Red Dragon Principality.
"Under my feet is the land of the Red Dragon. In front of me are the enemies of the Red Dragon. In my heart is the glory of the Red Dragon."
"As a member of the Red Dragon Principality, I will defend to the death and not give up an inch of territory!"
This article was proposed by Ye Yang Bailiu and written by Lin Shiyuan. In Chen Xing's tone, it narrates how a small courier in a remote area of the Red Dragon Principality went through many hardships and continued to strive for self-improvement, and finally grew into a generation of generals, and then was grateful. Country, the story and determination to defend the country to the death.
The language of the article is plain and simple, and the emotions are sincere and moving. It contains the rise of the lower class that the public loves to hear about, and the noble feelings of soldiers joining the battlefield to sacrifice their lives for the country. It immediately aroused a heated discussion in the country.
The heated discussion of the article directly resulted in two results.
The first result was that Marquis Haitang became furious after reading this article. The other party actually regards the place they just occupied as their own country. Is there anything more shameless than this in the world? The old and new hatreds greatly accelerated the progress of the war.
The second result is that the Red Dragon Grand Duke can no longer pretend to know nothing and let the expeditionary force fend for itself. He made a public speech, stating that the country is the most solid backing for the military, and ordered the First, Second, and Third Red Dragon Army to move closer to the Silver Claw border and be ready to support frontline operations at any time.
Now that the Red Dragon Principality is attacking on all fronts, the Black Feather Principality, which is also part of the Northern Alliance, naturally cannot sit idly by. Black Feather's two armies soon assembled at the border.
In this way, what was originally an offensive and defensive battle between a group of armies suddenly turned into a large-scale battle between the Northern Alliance and the Four Nations Alliance.
Of course, the possibility of Lacey's Second Army and Gavin's First Army joining the battle was almost zero. At best, they would just circle around a few times, pretending to wave the flag and shout.
The same goes for Heiyu. Dongfang Xuanyuan and Chen Xing have no friendship and have not established a cooperative relationship. The war costs real money, so it's impossible to help in vain, especially if Lacey and Gavin don't take action.
But the advantage of this is that Hanling, Chiyan, and Black Spear families are restrained and do not dare to act rashly.
The expeditionary force only needs to resist the pressure from Silver Claw.
But then again, even if there is only Silver Claw, the expeditionary force has no chance of winning. Relying on a group army to fight against a medium-sized principality with a population of more than 30 million is really a mantis trying to defeat a chariot.
The Silver Claw First and Second Group Army is not a motley army like the Four-Nation Alliance. It is well-equipped and has strong combat power.
Wei Haitang's Twelve Knights of the Round Table have already become famous. Although they are only at the lord level, they are not inferior to ordinary lords at all.
Then there is the National Preceptor Li Zhi, a powerful man at the level of a great lord. His "Ghost Warrior Battalion" integrates reconnaissance, sneak attacks, and assassinations into one, which is terrifying.
In addition, there are seven or eight high-level officers at the quasi-lord level, and a large number of mid-level officers at the guard level, such as the "Silver Claw Iron Triangle" who assassinated Chen Xing before, plus Qin Wu's Gluttonous Monarch, and their combat power is extremely terrifying.
This does not include the private armies, retainers, etc. of wealthy families from various places. If we add them all up, I am afraid that the expeditionary force will be just a shrimp.
At noon, visit the mining cave of Da Da Town and the rest room of the former mayor’s mansion.
"I'm looking for a man tonight, whether you're here or not!"
I repeated it three times in my ear, but Chen Xing still didn't respond. With eyes closed, it's like falling asleep. Ye Yang Bailiu helplessly shook her head at the narrator, Jian Yue Canglian, which meant that she had nothing to do.
This is her most ruthless method, and it works wonders every time. Even though this man usually can't control his lower body and flirts with women everywhere, in fact, deep down, he still values the chastity of the women around him.
Even if there was only a glimmer of consciousness, he would probably sit up immediately and solve the problem for her personally.
It's a typical double standard. You mess around but demand loyalty from others. It's really bad.
Every time she saw him with the palace maid, she wanted to pinch him. Although the world is open and open, it is not uncommon for a man to have multiple wives, or for a woman to have multiple husbands, but there are also many aristocratic gentlemen who will never taint the palace maids in order to please their wives.
But it was a fait accompli, she couldn't drive others away, and besides, this little maid seemed to respect her very much, making it hard for anyone to find fault.
It has to be said that the education of palace maids is still very successful. They are very good at finding a balance between the male master and the female master, reducing their own sense of existence and reducing the risk of jealousy.
Why are there no palace servants?
Ye Yang and Bai Liu all thought with regret that maybe someone would come back to piss him off and wake up soon.
"You stay here while I go out." She stood up and said.
"Yes, Mistress." Seeing Yue Canglian bowed and saluted.
"Please call me Lord Priest from now on." Ye Yang Bailiu said expressionlessly, with a kind of indifference that would repulse others.
"yes."
Arriving at the combat command room, Xiang Caidi and Lin Shiyuan were standing in front of the map directing the armies to deploy their defenses.
The six edge towns are distributed in an irregular shape, ranging from thirty to fifty kilometers apart from each other. Dada Town is located in the middle. From the distribution, it can be seen that the five peripheral towns are all built with the Dada Town mine as the economic center. Get up.
There are still traces of the entertainment industry in the town, which should have been very prosperous back then. However, as the mines were completed and the workers left, the place became desolate again.
Dada Town is where the Central Army and the Guards are stationed. The Left Army and the Right Army are stationed in the four towns on both sides of Dada Town. The reserve army and the logistics brigade are stationed in the towns at the back. The military police are scattered among the entire army. Responsible for supervising the war.
The evacuation of the refugees lasted for several days, and it was almost time for the harvest festival.
By that time, the six edge towns had been basically emptied, leaving only the soldiers of the expeditionary force and some elderly refugees who had inconvenient legs or were seriously ill and unable to evacuate.
These people would not survive this winter, so the next war will not take them into consideration. Even if the cannonball falls on top of your head, you can only hope for good luck.
Neither the expeditionary force nor the Silver Claw Principality has any obligation to rescue these abandoned people. Since the catastrophe, human survival has become very difficult. All social assistance systems have been abolished, and it is basically impossible to get something for nothing.
If you want to survive, you must either use your strength, your brains, or your life. Gone are the days of hiding at home and not working, waiting for relief funds to support them. Even if he is sick and tired, he can only rely on labor.
One of the core rules of the Human Survival Committee is that social value equals living space.
Refugees are considered to be a group of low social value, and their living space is squeezed to the minimum, which is basically the level where they can survive.
Either they live a difficult life in marginal areas, or they work in some short-term jobs with high mobility, with unstable income, food and hunger. They usually have no fixed place to live, and live in tents or shacks, moving frequently.
The social value of citizens represents the average level of the world, so their living space is also at the average level, their jobs and incomes are relatively stable, they usually have a fixed residence, and they are the type to live and work in peace and contentment.
The social value of aristocrats is higher than the average level. The lower-class aristocrats mainly rely on their combat prowess, while the middle-class aristocrats rely more on their ancestral heritage.
As for the nobility, royal family and royal family, they belong to the ruling class and are not included in this category.
Citizens will be reduced to refugees because their social credit has dropped to freezing point, nobles will be reduced to citizens or even refugees due to lack of ability, and refugees will be upgraded to citizens or even nobles because of their outstanding abilities.
The world's upper and lower classes are fluid, and strength and credibility are the main criteria. Strength can be money or one's own ability. Credit is the character of one's life and the degree of compliance with the law.
This social system may seem cruel and ruthless, but it is another manifestation of fairness. Thanks to blacklists and popular networks, the enforcement of the law becomes fair and efficient. The mastermind can handle every problem down to the smallest detail, ensuring that the entire society operates according to established rules.
This is also the reason why bankers do not trust the money network created by Nova. The lifeblood of the entire society is in the hands of an unknown mechanical life, and the risk is too high. Once something goes wrong, society will fall into chaos.
On the day before the Harvest Festival, the Silver Claw First and Second Group Armies and the Four Nations Allied Forces simultaneously launched an attack on the five edge towns of the expeditionary force.
This is destined to be a sad holiday for all soldiers who participated in the war.
But compared to the attacking side, the defensive side is the most miserable.
Traditionally, the first phase of the war was an artillery duel. Since the war began, the soldiers of the expeditionary force have finally experienced the despair of being covered by artillery ten times their own.
Tens of thousands of grenades fell on the position, and the soil was blown up several layers. Our own artillery was hit so hard that we couldn't even raise our heads. As soon as it was set up, countless shells fell down before even a few shots were fired.
Fortunately, this is not a wilderness, but a town with some reinforced concrete buildings. There are many places to avoid shells. But even so, they were badly bombed.
A three-story building was blown down, burying seven or eight soldiers alive. A dozen soldiers were hiding in a warehouse when a cannonball fell from a vent. Similar situations abound, with casualties occurring at every turn.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
In the control room of the mine in Dada Town, explosions continued to be heard from the ceiling, followed by violent shaking and falling fine sand. Although it is located further inside than other towns, it is still within the attack range of enemy artillery.
"Go inside and remove some large steel bars to support it."
Lin Shiyuan used a rag to sweep away the sand that fell on the tactical map, while directing the logistics personnel to reinforce the command post.
Although the reinforced concrete on the top is very thick and there is a layer of granite, no one can tell whether it will be blown through if it explodes.
"My lord, my lord! My captain was hit by the bomb!"
Several soldiers rushed into the concrete bunker at the foot of the mine carrying a stretcher. There was a bloody man lying on the stretcher, his whole body was scorched, his skin and flesh were torn, and there were wisps of smoke.
"Wait here!"
Two tall women wearing heavy armor took the stretcher.
"The medical station is an important area and is not allowed to be entered."
Several other women wearing heavy armor pushed the soldiers who were sent away.
The team members anxiously watched at the door, and saw a burst of light green light inside. After a while, the captain limped out.
Although the injury is not completely healed, he can already move around on his own.
"Captain!" "It's amazing!" "Long live the great priest!"
The team members were overjoyed and stepped forward to hug the captain and cheer loudly.
"quiet!"
Several heavily armored women glared at him, and the soldiers quickly shrank their heads and left with the captain who had just been treated.
This is the role of a therapist on the battlefield, rescuing the seriously injured and boosting team morale.
This team leader only has quasi-elite strength, and the total energy of his body is very small. A junior healer can complete four or five treatments, which is a piece of cake for a senior healer.
Now is the stage of artillery duel, and the injured are mainly the lower-level soldiers. There is no damage to the advanced combat power, otherwise the healing spell will not be used on the squad leader.
Generally speaking, if one has elite level strength, wears protective armor, and activates the psychic shield, they will only suffer minor injuries even if the cannonball hits the body.
Not to mention the guard level, as long as it is not infused with psychic energy, the grenade will not hurt or itch.
But relatively speaking, once the guard level is injured, the life energy required for treatment will increase accordingly.
There are two therapists in the expeditionary force. One is the senior therapist Nancy sent by the Holy Light Holy See, and the other is the great therapist Ye Yang Bailiu.
The healing capacity of both of them is very high. Because of their presence, there is currently no officer killed in Dada Town due to being hit by a shell.
Nancy is short, only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but her breasts are very large. Visually, they are at least an F cup, with perfect baby-like breasts. Although it is not as stunning as Yeyang Bailiu, it still has its own characteristics and will not be completely covered up.
He has fair skin and a soft voice. Perhaps he grew up in a relatively simple environment and doesn't dare to make eye contact with others.
Because of her simple personality and approachability, Nancy is more popular among the soldiers than Ye Yang Bailiu.
Occasionally, when Ye Yangbailiu couldn't see her, Nancy would heal ordinary soldiers, earning her the title "Healing Angel."
To the soldiers, Yeyang Bailiu was like a towering mountain peak that was unimaginable, while Nancy was like the girl next door. Although the distance was still far away, they could at least be imagined.
Because of this, Nancy attracted many soldiers who had excuses to take a peek. Due to the large number of people, the door of the medical station was so crowded that Ye Yang Bailiu had to order eviction.
In addition, in order to prevent Nancy from overflowing with the Virgin Heart, Ye Yang Bailiu asked her to maintain no less than 50% of her life energy in case of emergencies.
Although Nancy is a senior healer, she only has the strength of a great guardian and only has one spiritual pool, so her life energy will always be exhausted.
According to different treatment abilities, therapists are divided into four levels: junior, intermediate, senior and senior therapists.
Therapist level and combat power level are different. Junior healers can be at the guard level, intermediate healers can also be at the guard level, and even junior healers can be at the lord level, but such extreme cases are rare.
Different levels of healers represent different life energy conversion efficiencies. The higher the level, the higher the conversion rate. It also means different levels of healing techniques that can be performed.
To put it simply, for the same primary healing technique, if it is performed by a junior therapist or a senior therapist, the amount of treatment will be different. Perhaps the amount of treatment a senior therapist has for one primary healing spell is equivalent to several primary healing spells for a junior therapist.
Then, junior healers can only cast primary healing spells, while intermediate healers can cast primary and intermediate healing spells, and senior healers can cast primary, intermediate, and advanced healing spells.
The higher the level of healing, the more serious injuries can be cured.
The power of the Great Healer is that he can perform the "Great Healing Technique" that is close to resurrecting the dead. As long as he still has a breath, he can regenerate bones and muscles, and resurrect with full blood on the spot.
In addition, some special talents and field types can affect the treatment effect of fast healers.
Fast healers are rare and precious. Even junior healers will grab them to pieces. It is conceivable that higher level healers will get them.
Generally speaking, there are only one or two great healers in a kingdom, and usually great healers serve the king. For example, Ye Yang Bailiu is currently serving the Northern Princess.
Senior therapists generally serve the principality. Not to mention the duke, the client is at least a marquis. .
Therefore, Chen Xing was very surprised that the Holy Light Holy See appointed a senior therapist. He even felt that the Holy Light Holy See was trying to please him for Ramsden's sake. This was almost the only reason he could think of.
Not only is she a high-level therapist, but she is also an incredibly beautiful "big boob girl" therapist who is simply too good to him.
Although no one of the clergy of the Holy Light Church dares to touch it easily, the paladin’s war hammer is still very intimidating, and it seems that Nancy’s status is not low. The white gold-rimmed priest robe is embroidered with gold crosses and double flower spikes. It is a high-level priesthood. But it is still very comfortable to soothe the eyes.
The artillery coverage continued, from day to night, and from night to day.
The casualty lists from the other four towns defended by the left and right armies were shocking. Normally, after a war, the number of soldiers killed by artillery is between two and three percent of the total number of soldiers, but this time only 24 hours of artillery coverage caused 5% of the casualties. , it’s really tragic.
The firepower of the Silver Claw army was too intense. The Silver Claw First Army is equipped with the Art6-T of Hongtu Heavy Industry.
This mecha is commonly known as the "Shoulder Cannon" and is an upgraded version of the "Shoulder Cannon" Art6. As the name suggests, it carries two cannon barrels on its shoulders. It consumes a lot of ammunition and is usually only equipped by troops who are not worried about spending money.
After careful consideration, Ye Yang Bailiu sent Nancy to the town below to treat junior officers.
If the defense fails, Nancy has a special status and is not afraid of being captured. Nancy is from the Holy Light Holy See, and Silver Claw will treat her well if caught, because the three major religions do not distinguish between countries. According to the agreement, the Holy See needs to pay a large ransom. Of course, the ransom must be paid by Chen Xinglai in the end, and then Nancy is not allowed to appear in this war.
Ye Yang Bailiu is different. If she is captured, it depends on Wei Haitang's mood. Unless Aaliyah comes in person to get people, there will be no escape.
According to the ancestral teachings of the Ye Yang family, a woman in the Ye Yang family will only serve one man in her life, so she will commit suicide before being captured.
Nancy's appearance boosted the morale of the troops below, and the seriously injured junior officers were able to return to the battlefield to organize defenses and further reduce casualties.
Trampling on the snow, braving artillery fire, and traveling throughout the defense line, Nancy was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and her reputation as a healing angel spread even further among the army.
