The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 473 Cheers to a Better Future

In order to recover the losses in the first confrontation, Archduke von took the initiative to attack Simon's Corps.

The coalition army led by Grand Duke von ran head-on into Simon's garrison on the Doma Plain.

Ping should have been a place where large-scale legions could show their advantages, but the new army led by Simon had already dug trenches, set up bunkers, and used deadly arrangements to wait for the coalition forces to arrive and kill them.

The defensive line, which had never appeared before, dealt a heavy blow to Duke Feng.

When the continuous charges organized by Grand Duke Feng failed to capture the trenches and bunkers after five days, the war suddenly came to a stalemate.

"Report! Our cavalry has intercepted the ammunition supply of Simon's garrison, including two boxes of high-powered encapsulated magic produced in the North!"

When Lord Feng saw his men moving Yi Toubao into the camp, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Over the past few days, the Simon Army's Yi Tou Bao projectile attack has caused great suffering to the soldiers on Duke Feng's side.

They learned the defensive trenches dug by Simon, but they didn't have the cat-ear holes to defend against magic bombs. Every time magic swept the ground, there were unlucky people who were blown into the sky.

The soldiers on Duke Feng's side were becoming increasingly war-weary.

"You've worked hard. This flanking operation was very successful. Go down and take a rest."

Grand Duke Feng patted the leading knight on the shoulder and indicated that their achievements would be recorded truthfully.

The knight saluted in gratitude, then quickly led his team members to rest.

"Report! Simon's army has launched an attack!"

Without having time to say anything else, Duke Feng picked up the captured telescope and paid attention to the situation on the battlefield.

The Simon Legion has advanced weapons and a good mix of military forces. Every time they launch an attack, continuous magical flames will shoot out from those sturdy bunkers.

The Allied soldiers hiding in the rough trenches could only lower their heads to avoid them. When the bunkers stopped firing, the Simon Army soldiers rushed in front of the Allied forces.

The multi-stage covering attack of the Simon Army caused the coalition forces to suffer a lot. After paying a large amount of tuition, Mr. Feng finally found a way to deal with it.

"Prepare legion-level magic and create a storm on the front line!"

Grand Duke Feng called on the magician group to blow a strong wind behind the line.

The hurricane and sand rushed against Simon's army, causing the enemy's attack to end in failure.

The two sides started a tug-of-war again, and waiting and suffering tormented every soldier.

On both sides' battle lines, there are a large number of accurate shooters armed with ray guns lying in ambush. No matter which side shows up at random, they will be given a fire bomb.

The soldiers did not dare to get up from the trenches. They could only put their excrement into empty cans and throw them out of the trenches.

The First World War on Earth, the most torturous trench warfare, has entered the war stage of this world.

"Three hours later, the entire front will launch an attack on Simon's army!"

Trench warfare is a war of attrition, and the war becomes like a turn-based game, you attack, I attack.

When the news of the active attack reached the trenches, the soldiers guarding inside cursed.

"Damn it, don't those people above have brains? They clearly can't rush through, but they let us go to die!"

"Grand Duke Feng is just so-so. I thought he could easily control Simon when he came over, but he ended up being stuck in a stalemate!"

Despite the scolding, the soldiers still did not dare to refuse Duke Feng's orders.

Grand Duke Feng could at least fight Simon to a draw. If someone else had led the army, he would have been defeated by Simon long ago.

The charge horn sounded, and the knights holding the battle flags led the soldiers to jump out of the trenches.

They braved the Simon Army's blockade and continued to approach the enemy line.

Ray guns, magic bombardment, soldiers kept falling to the ground, their lives taken by stray bullets.

"Down with the rebels! Charge!"

The slogans were shouted loudly, but this time the charge only advanced 200 meters before being pushed back into the trenches.

The attack by Duke Feng came to an end.

Duke Feng looked around the battlefield through a telescope, with no expression on his face.

Duke Feng returned to the tent, and soon there were loud bangs and bangs from inside.

This battle, which took place on the Doma Plain, brought great suffering to both sides.

But there is a camp outside the war that is actively participating in it.

The music of military drums and trumpets floated over from afar. The soldiers hiding in the trenches looked up and saw the flag of the Hospitallers fluttering in the wind.

When the Hospitallers appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers of both the Allied Forces and Simon's Army all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Knights Hospitallers quickly ran onto the battlefield. Their smocks with red crosses printed on them were so conspicuous.

"Found a survivor! Shot in the left shoulder, second degree burns!"

First, a doctor will conduct a simple assessment of the injury, and then a strong stretcher team will come to carry the injured away.

There are also some simple injuries that can be treated by doctors directly on the spot.

The Hospitallers stayed on the battlefield for two hours, treating as many soldiers as possible and collecting some good-looking broken limbs.

The military band played music again, the Hospitallers slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and smoke and flames of war once again covered the area.

Some nobles who were unfamiliar with the new type of warfare watched the situation on the battlefield from a distance.

"What's going on? Why are those people from the Hospitaller Order allowed to wander around the battlefield? Also, why don't we launch an attack while they are rescuing people?"

A pampered nobleman questioned the strange tacit understanding on the battlefield.

The nobleman did not notice that all the soldiers nearby were looking at him with cold eyes.

A stupid person is stupid no matter how high his position is.

At the same time, there is naturally no shortage of smart people among those in high positions.

The nobles who came to observe the new type of warfare gathered in the pavilion to take a short rest.

After ruling out those with questionable IQs, a gentleman of noble status opened the main topic of this conversation.

"Saint Mary, with the support of the cathedral and the kingdom, you can establish a highly regarded hospital knight group. I wonder what you think after seeing the scene on the battlefield?"

There was naturally nothing to see on the battlefield, as they had already learned about those advanced Northern weapons.

This time, everyone's main goal is to observe the Hospitallers led by Maria.

"Since the Saint can establish a knight order with her status and belief in justice, I think we can do the same~"

In the past, there were restrictions on how many knights a noble could organize.

If the small nobles blindly expand their military power, they will be punished by the laws of the kingdom.

Therefore, most of the nobles kept to their duties, and even if they were accumulating strength, they would only act quietly.

Maria's establishment of the Knights Hospitaller broke the kingdom's restrictions on the nobility in another way.

"As long as we have a suitable reason and a slogan accepted by the public, we can have our own power!"

The clever nobles looked at each other, all with sinister and cunning smiles on their faces.

"Let's celebrate for a better future~"
