Chapter 597 The Legion Must Endure and the Cactus Air Force
The military solidarity in the central position has crystallized in many places. Li Qi and Wilson stick to the last trench outside the barrier, observing the battle situation with eagle glasses.

"It's far worse than the sea of ​​skeletons." Karin expressed contemptuous emotion beside her, and just after she finished speaking, a cloud of blood bloomed on her forehead, and she fell on her back.

Before Li Qi could react, she stood up again, with an extra bullet in her hand, and said through gritted teeth, "I was actually snipered! This is at least a level [-] magic gun!"

Li Qi heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, your skull is hard enough. If you were to be burped here, it would be a big scandal for Fei Gong.

Seeing that Karin was gearing up to rush out to settle the score, Li Qi quickly stopped her: "This is much trickier than the sea of ​​skeletons!"

Karin snorted and stopped making noise, and didn't dare to stand tall and straight with her arms folded like before.

The number of enemies attacking the line of defense is of course not comparable to the sea of ​​skeletons in the past, but it is roughly estimated that there are [-] to [-] enemies, and there are various types.

Although most of them were still cannon fodder, they were massacred on the magic cannon blockade one or two kilometers away, but there were also many experts of various types mixed in.It was definitely a hero-level ranger or other eagle-eyed guy just now. He saw Karin who was tall and burly and carefree several kilometers away, and shot her. The magic gun he used was a special model. Lian Li Qi and the others didn't sense it.

Many enemies rushed through the line of fire of the nine-rate magic cannon, but a large number fell under the bombardment of the four-rate magic cannon and magic fire cannon.The magic guided machine guns did not start shooting until they were 500 meters away from the military united area. Enemies who could reach within 200 meters were the absolute elite.

It's a pity that they will not only be served by automatic magic guns, but also greeted by magic gun chariots and armored infantry squatting in the pit.An elite commando team of heroic officers and non-commissioned officers sits further back, ready to tackle the toughest targets.

A large number of officers and soldiers of the Fei Communist Legion grew up during the Undead War. This process has been thoroughly familiarized. Although the combat center protected by the military unit is not as powerful as the Tegjaer Fortress, it can clearly reveal the enemy's situation. But there is also a level of familiarity.

The only thing to note is that the opponent also has a magic weapon, with strong long-range firepower and various abilities and specialties.

"There is no particularly unexpected situation, and the defense line cannot be breached," Wilson cautiously expressed optimism.

"Double digits... No, triple digit casualties are probably unavoidable, right?"

Li Qi observed several other military solidarity circles. Not all the defense lines in the rear were under the cover of the military solidarity circles. After all, the south of the Fort of Holy Light was a broad hilly area.

During the previous stalemate, the legion's daily casualties were calculated in single digits, and a considerable part of them were accidents that had nothing to do with the battle.

In a battle like this tonight, it is inevitable that more than one hundred casualties will be killed. Of course, the death rate should be very low, and the medical force of the legion is very strong.

Karin was really going to be headshot just now, even if she was just an ordinary soldier at the trainee level, as long as she didn't die on the spot, most of her brains would still be left, and there was a high chance of her being rescued.Apart from losing some memory and becoming stupid for a while, there will be no more serious sequelae.

The high magic world is so unreasonable...

Wilson actually also mocked Li Qi: "The chief cardinal should be concerned about the number of casualties, but if there is no war, there will be no numbers of casualties."

Knowing that he, Gambit, and all the officers and soldiers of the legion were holding their breath, Li Qi smiled and didn't turn back.

"Go and see other places," Li Qi and his party walked along the traffic trench to other positions with their waists bent.

Ellie doesn't need to be waisted, she has to jump up to see the outside situation.This made her very irritable, Li Qi stopped her from trying to become Catherine several times, and came here just to see the situation.

Arriving at a later position, it should be a temporary maintenance field for tanks, where several magic artillery vehicles replace parts.

"Hessler!"

Li Qi saw an acquaintance. The driver of his car crew during the Valentine's War was now a second lieutenant and platoon leader.

"Chief Cardinal! Commander! Catherine... Ah no, Colonel Allie!"

Hessler saluted and greeted with surprise and surprise. When asked about the situation, he patted the chariot beside him and said, "Yeah, you have to be careful now, the cats get up. Ordinary magic guns can penetrate our chariots. My The third driver has just been sent to the medical station, and his eye may not be saved."

The chariot is full of bullet holes, and there are scorched marks that should be left by spells such as fireballs.

"I really miss the [-]mm magic steel armor that the chief cardinal said." Hessler said, "I don't know when we can mount it on our tanks."

Wilson opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Hessler said again: "But our greatest hope is to counterattack immediately and let the Kesters know how powerful we are!"

He clenched his fists, and his words carried the general dissatisfaction and confusion of officers and soldiers: "Compared with the undead war, we have become stronger. We can definitely defeat the enemy in front of us easily! There will definitely be many sacrifices , but this is a war, and of course people will die in a war!"

"I'm very happy that everyone's morale is so high." Li Qi rubbed the van steel shell of the chariot, and he was extremely moved by the dense bullet holes and dents.

The earliest batch of chariots have all been eliminated, and now these chariots have only been replaced with magic furnaces, and in order to support a heavier car body, they have changed from four legs to six legs.There is no obvious change in mobility and protection, no, it can be said that there is no protection against magic weapons.

"Our chariot should not be an iron coffin that can even be pierced by ordinary magic guns," Li Qi said, "Our army should not be like the enemy, charging directly at the artillery fire like cannon fodder."

His tone became deep and dignified: "When needed, our officers and soldiers will be braver than the enemy and less afraid of sacrifice! This is not a hypothesis, but a fact that we have forged with flesh and blood!"

The crew of several other chariots also gathered together, and everyone listened quietly to Li Qi's words.

"But when the conditions permit and the situation permits, we must equip the soldiers with the best weapons and the best protection for the soldiers, so that the soldiers can always have an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield! If If we can’t do this, we can only win the victory by consuming the flesh and blood of the soldiers, that is, those who research technology in the rear, those who manufacture equipment, and those who make decisions like me have neglected their duties, or even committed crimes!”

Li Qi glanced at the officers and soldiers around him, and said in a high voice: "We, the Fei Gong, will be strong. Our strength is not only reflected in your heroic spirit, but also in the fact that we will always have the most advanced technology and productivity! Our soldiers In addition to intimidating the enemy with courage, equipment and tactics are swords hanging high above the enemy's head, making them frightened!"

"Such a chariot...is unqualified." Li Qi knocked on the chariot, and the steel shell made a clanging sound.

"So, everyone, don't worry. In the current battle, our goal is to prevent the enemy from advancing. I hope that you can save yourself as much as possible while ensuring the completion of the mission. This is also my order to the commander of the legion," Li Qi broke the news. : "Our technicians are working day and night. If it's just a tank, it won't take long before we will have a tank with stronger firepower, enough to protect against ordinary magic guns, and better mobility!"

Hessler raised his arms excitedly and shouted: "Yes! Long live the [-]mm magic steel armor!"

"Long live the quadruple rate magic cannon!"

"Long live the first shot hit at 3000 meters!"

The armored soldiers shouted loudly, and most of the aggrieved feeling of having to squat in a pit to steal people dissipated for a while.

Next to Karin and Ellie applauded together, Karin admired, and Ellie not only admired, but also proud.

"So, Chief Cardinal, the Legion has to be patient, right?" Wilson asked with a sigh after leaving the position, and his resentment was also resolved by Li Qi.

"Of course, we must remember that each of our officers and soldiers is a priceless treasure. When throwing them into the battlefield or even into the vortex of death, we must weigh whether such sacrifices are worth it. As a commander, we must also measure whether we have Do your best to make their sacrifices in exchange for the greatest benefits, as the society and the country in the rear, you must also measure whether they have made sacrifices without regrets or complaints."

At this time, Li Qi seemed a bit talkative: "After thinking about these things carefully, you won't ask me such questions again."

Wilson's tone became cautious: "So, there must be chariots?"

"We don't need to use lies to maintain the morale of the soldiers." Li Qi was a little surprised.

"Compared to tanks, I care more about magic guns, explosives, and healing potions." Wilson said, "If we continue to fight on a scale like this tonight, our inventory won't last long, especially machine guns. The old ones have been decommissioned and the new ones have not yet been mass-produced, and the front-line firepower is not very sufficient."

Li Qi covered his face, while Karin and Ellie giggled behind him, what he said just now was so upright, but in the end...

"Indeed, the most important issue now has become production," Li Qi sighed: "This requires us to readjust the social structure and carry out a deeper general mobilization."

Production is only one of the most important issues, the other is air defense.

The intelligence said that the halfling warlock named Milhoss (this name made Li Qi feel very familiar) would launch a large-scale air offensive within ten days, and now the Marquis Astra of the Holy Light Castle does not cooperate with this air force. A ground offensive was launched.Combined with the political ecology under the Mad King, Yuangou judges that the air offensive will be advanced.

Li Qi agreed with this judgment very much, so the time was even tighter.

After inspecting the front line of the Holy Light Fort, Li Qi hurried back to the Aircraft Research Institute. Before he set off, he told Help to urgently improve the design and come up with a mass-produced airship plan tonight.

The research institute is brightly lit, full of people, and the researchers are busy.

Some wall climbing parties are still hanging on the wall, either clamoring to join the research institute, or wanting to contribute to missions related to airships.

Li Qi said to these flight fans: "You go back and wait for the good news. You will be needed. Everyone is ready to contribute their best!"

The Wall Climbers left contentedly. At this time, the full-time tester of the research institute and the front cabin machine gunner of the Li Qi crew, the blue dragon Haligos rubbed his white and tender hands and asked a key question: "We are going to Where to intercept those lowly pseudo-dragons? Surely not over Beta City? That would make it difficult for anti-aircraft fire.”

"Yeah, we need an optimal spot for an interception, and we can keep track of the sky at any time."

Li Qi frowned and pondered. Gambit had returned from the front line and started to form an air defense force for Beta City and even the entire Godfall Plateau.On my side, I not only have to lead out the first air force unit of the Fei Communist Party, but also have to take on the task of leading the team in combat in the early stage.

All of this must be completed in less than ten days.

The nascent air force wants to intercept the enemy's army of flying dragons and prevent them from causing serious damage to Beta City. The most effective strategy is to fight with all their strength and cause the enemy to suffer unbearable losses.Let the opponent realize that it is meaningless to attack Beta City before destroying his own power.

That is to say, to draw the other party's hatred onto oneself, this strategy seems a little... familiar.

Based on this principle, the combat base of the Air Force can't be too close to Beta City, but it can't be too far, just in...

Li Qi found a teleportation fortress on the map of his personal assistant, which is now a comprehensive service station serving as the hub of small-scale settlements. It is located [-] kilometers northeast of Beta City. The town built on the basis of the service station is called... Cactus Town, Very lucky name.

Cactus Town, the environment of this place is similar to Gobi, and it is quite dry. Many former adventurers from Redstone have chosen to settle here.

At the bus station outside the town, Assistant Station Master Sam reluctantly bid farewell to Mayne.

Sam had already read the report of Mayne cracking down on the saboteur group, and he was happy for Mayne's achievements. Of course, he was even more happy that the little embarrassment between him and Mayne had been resolved, and the two returned to the way they were before. A state of good friends.

Of course, hearing Mayne keep talking about a certain intelligence agency agent, Sam admitted that he was still sore in his heart.

Mayne came here to have New Year's Eve dinner with him, and originally planned to stay for a few days to experience the Gobi scenery of this place.Unexpectedly, both of them received the alarm, saying that the northern front line was fighting.

Mayne was urgently recalled to Beta City. Sam, as the assistant to the station master, also had to assist the station master in the defense of the town and even the evacuation of residents. The two had to say goodbye regretfully.

The station master went to meet his relatives and hadn't come back yet. Sam decided to do some preparatory work first to relieve his heavy depression. As soon as he returned to the central square, several small airships fell from the sky.

A group of people got off the airship, one of them took off his strange helmet, revealing black hair and gray eyes, and a very delicate and familiar face. Before Sam could turn his head, the man recognized asked him: "Sam?"

Sam was dumbfounded: "Chief, Chief Cardinal!"

"It turns out that you are the station master here." Li Qi looked at the other party's service station uniform, the member logo of the Fei Communist Party on his chest, and the badge of a major representative. He took it for granted that he was a halfling, and said eagerly: " We don't have time to talk about the past, this place has been changed to Cactus Air Force Base, and you will be the administrator of the base."

"I?"

Sam's mouth opened even wider: "I, I'm just an assistant to the station master, and I'm also a halfling..."

"Where's the station master? You haven't come back yet? That's you!"

Li Qi said in an unquestionable tone: "This has nothing to do with your rank, and it has nothing to do with race. The course of history has determined this moment. Administrator Sam, take office immediately!"

Seeing the people coming down from the airship, they either turned on their personal assistants to write and draw nervously, or yelled and yelled into the communicator like eating popping slime. Sam swallowed, trying to suppress the feeling of dizziness , raised his trembling arms and gave a military salute: "Yes, Chief Cardinal!"

"Follow me and introduce the situation here," Li Qi greeted him: "This place needs to be rebuilt immediately. I hope the masses here will join the reconstruction team. You have to do the mass work."

"Yes! Chief Cardinal!"

This time Sam responded with more force, which was his strong suit.

"Salty Zhang?"

Ellie tilted her head, as if she was savoring the quality of the name.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Yes, Cactus, Ellie, your First Air Force is nicknamed Cactus!"

Ellie's ambition has been determined, which is to lead the air force to gallop into the sky. The first air force set up here will naturally be her chief officer.The rank of colonel she was awarded in the army finally had a confirmed position.

"Everyone, let's burn!"

Li Qi's passionate words echoed in the night wind: "Let's build this base overnight!"
