It is not without reason that the elderly are so hesitant in the decision-making stage.
Regardless of the fact that he is touted as the Imperial God of War, in this era of long-lasting peace, the most he has done is to defeat some monsters, including king-level ones, and he has never been defeated.
Even if the opponent is also a human country, the most they can do is bring an army to show off their power, and then scare the opponent's monarchs and nobles to the piss. You can do whatever you want to do from now on. After all, those small countries have no ability to fight against the empire.
There are still actual wars between the empires of Lost Land, and that is only the Oz Plain at the junction of the Karlsruhe Empire and the Haider Empire. This is because natural threats are everywhere, otherwise the armaments of other countries will be wasted by this peaceful scene.
But having never fought a war of this scale does not mean that Old Kaweigong cannot control the situation. His family education and years of experience in leading soldiers can still serve as a reference.
If there are people in the world who are more suitable for the position of commander-in-chief than him, then they are the old marshals of the Karlsruhe Empire and the Haider Empire. But such people would not be sent to this battlefield.
The reason is simple. The main force of the army on the battlefield is from the Gwana Empire. The other two empires sent commanders of this level to compete for power, or to act as juniors? Is it possible for the Gwana Empire to hand over its army to outsiders?
On this battlefield, no official from the Karlsruhe Empire came forward, so I won’t say much.
The Haider Empire has sent half of the main airship army, but the commander's status in the Haider Empire is only that of the airship army's deputy. This is to avoid some embarrassing situations.
And the deputy's status is enough to withstand the old Duke Kawei and prevent him from abusing the airship army. This is enough.
As for the fighter plane in front of him, it's not really the old man's fault that he couldn't make the decision to attack proactively, because the gray dwarf army is really too stable. The airship at hand plowed through the opponent's formation, but it was unable to shake the entire army and expose its flaws.
Even though some locations were hardest hit by magic attacks, they were unable to cause fatal attacks to these gray dwarves wearing heavy armor. Old Lord Kawei didn't see it with his own eyes, but many gray dwarves did stand up after lying on the ground. After patting the dust on their armor, they continued to stand as if nothing happened.
Dwarves already have demonic qualities. If gray dwarves have been hiding underground for such a long time, they will not be wearing simple armor tied with iron plates. To show the human nobles, this piece of heavy armor can be used as a heirloom, not to mention the magic resistance attribute.
When the two are combined, the magician on the airship is often left alone. The gray dwarves below all look like turtles.
But this is also related to the fact that most of these airships are not military grade. At least on the magician's gun emplacement, the magic amplification bonus is far less powerful than the military airships of the Haider Empire. Many civilian airships don't even have facilities like magician gun emplacements.
The secret weapon on the Twin Griffins hasn't been taken out yet. Regardless of how many people already know this secret. Since the multi-barreled minigun consumes a lot of power in the secondary energy pool, it is difficult for Ezio to use it freely. Unless he plans to squander all his power and launch another airship crash attack!
In short, although the airship attack looks very fierce, the actual damage caused is not great. In this case, it would be a bit thankless to destroy the defensive formation you prepared and attack the enemy's queue. This made the old man hesitate.
However, the airship offensive was not without success. At least the war weapons that the gray dwarves had prepared or were preparing were all scrapped.
They are wearing armor with magic resistance, which does not mean that big things like siege crossbows and catapults also have magic resistance. After being hit by magic a few times, what should be ignited was ignited, and what should be corroded was corroded. Regardless of whether it can be repaired or not, it is definitely useless now.
The weapon parts piled aside and about to be assembled did not escape the disaster. They were also in a mess.
Old Kawei Gong did not notice that the airship troops had made great achievements inadvertently. But he could see that there was no damage to the gray
The dwarf troops began to move differently.
Looks like he's getting ready to attack.
Are you not planning to fight?
However, Old Kawei Gong certainly had no reason to object to the situation where the other party planned to come to his door and hit him with blood. All troops were directly ordered to be on alert, and those teams operating long-range weapons were required to complete all preparations before attacking.
At the same time, Old Kaweigong also received news that the enemy was seen in other directions. Frontline commanders from all directions issued preparation orders at the same time.
Moreover, the news of encountering the enemy came not only from the same route, but also from troops in other directions. The same news came from the other four rear armies.
Fortunately, old Duke Kawei gave the order for airship reconnaissance in advance, so that everyone did not encounter the enemy in a hurry while marching. Although there is not much time to prepare, being able to adjust the formation is already a big help.
But this also shows one thing. The enemy has unknown investigation methods, and he also has a very clever commander. Only in this way can we grasp the marching time of the enemy and ourselves, launch an ambush at the right moment, and surround the human rear army.
So the encircling troops are already in position, so it doesn't matter if they just launch the attack without extra preparations. Old Kaweigong thought so.
But the real situation was far worse than he imagined. The reason why the gray dwarves made up their mind to attack was not only that the war weapons were destroyed, but also that the reinforcements that should be present were also ready to enter.
In the deliberately left open space, the flesh and blood of the gray dwarves who had been sacrificed during the previous airship attack also became part of the sacrifice. And this speeds up the arrival of a certain elder.
In order to prevent the elder from being hindered, the demon army, under the spell cast by a group of big demons, teleported to the position deliberately vacated by the gray dwarves.
In fact, it is not an easy task for the big demon to teleport with other demons. But under the orders of the Demon Commander, whoever dares to raise objections will of course comply.
And if the elder stayed in the abyss, it would not be difficult to teleport by himself. But it is in the Lost Land now. This kind of behavior that will interfere with or even destroy the balance of space is likely to violate the taboos of the Guardian Lord and lead to unnecessary battles.
But there are always some tricks that can make excuses for things that are not allowed. The method of sacrificial summoning is the best reason for these elders. Moreover, the main body is already lost in the land, and with his cooperation, the sacrifices required for the sacrifice do not need to be too many.
Originally, the time for its appearance should be when the two armies were fighting and the dead began to appear on the battlefield, then the conditions for the elder to come across the distance would be met.
But the airship struck first, creating dead bodies among the gray dwarves, giving it a chance to get in early. The elder did not hesitate to use it.
Right in front of old Duke Kawei and all the troops, the pungent smell of sulfur first wafted from the left side of the gray dwarf queue.
Then black clouds and black fog emerged, and blood-red light drew clear lines in the darkness at high altitudes. The super large demon summoning array unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The next moment, a figure several times taller than a human appeared between the summoning array in the sky and the ground. Everyone still didn't understand why a magic circle appeared in the sky, but the top of the summoned demon's head just touched the lower edge of the magic circle in the air.
I originally thought it was very high, but for the other party, it was just right.
What appeared was a demon with two wolf heads, a four-armed body, and a body of fur mixed with red and gray. One of the heads looked like a rabid animal, with red eyes, bared teeth and a gaping mouth, and drool all over its body. The other head had a sly look in its eyes and remained silent.
At this moment, the morale of the human army almost fell to the bottom.
It wasn't just the frightening aura and the omnipresent sense of oppression that forced him. Moreover, because the characteristics of the visitor were too obvious and he had left a legendary color in the land, no one could help but not recognize him.
Wolfram, Lord of the Abyss, is a rare wise man and army commander among demons. He has countless titles and aliases, such as brain-eater, evil wolf, etc.; he is also the old god and the new god of Lost Earth.
Enemies of two eras.
He has achieved the ferocious record of devouring as many as seven gods in one day, and he will inevitably bring a group of loyal brothers with him when he travels. It can be regarded as an alien among demons. Needless to say, not everyone can do this just to make other demons pay their loyalty.
Seeing this figure appear, Old Kaweigong would not even think about whether there were other demons pretending to be this elder.
This kind of thing is considered taboo in the abyss, and any imitator will be hunted to death by the real thing, or until he replaces the other person. But usually the result is the former.
Another reason is that Old Kaweigong remembered the warning of a certain magician.
The reason why he was sure that the Demon Alliance would choose to go south, cross the Wind Emperor Mountains, and attack the Gwana Empire in the early stage. Isn't it just because the Demon Alliance has the Lord of the Abyss, they have the capital to choose shortcuts.
But in the previous battles, let alone the Lord of the Abyss, even demons were rarely seen. Therefore, Old Kawei Gong let down his guard. All plans and arrangements did not consider what should be done if these super-standard beings entered the scene.
The only ones who can fight against the Lord of the Abyss are the gods of the Lost World. Of course, the five empires also have the foundation to deal with this kind of existence, but this is not something that old Kawei Gong can use now. To use those secret back-ups, His Majesty the Emperor must nod.
Such preparations have been made on the southern defense line of the Fengdi Mountain Range. And when necessary, the empire's ten regular legions can step in to buy time for that thing to work.
Of course it turned out to be useless.
Now that we have reached the north of the mountain range, that thing is not something that can be dragged along by a marching army. It doesn't matter if we have to arrange things in advance. The most important thing is that we don't have the consent of His Majesty the Emperor.
In such a "bare-handed" state, I encountered this elder. Old Mr. Kawei knew that the time to risk his life had truly come. And this time, the chances of survival were slim.
