Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"The remaining divisions have bypassed the artillery fire and are heading towards the defensive line. They are expected to arrive in five minutes!"

"it is good!!"

The commander couldn't help but cheer; this was the best news he had heard so far.

That's right. No matter how powerful the enemy's artillery is, it can't reach all the troops in the rear. Once the troops are concentrated, they won't be able to continue their attack after filling the defensive line.

However, just as he was feeling happy...

"Something's wrong, Commander!!"

A soldier suddenly ran up to him and shouted.

"what's up?"

"The enemy...the enemy has broken in!!"

"What!?"

The commander rushed out of the communications room, only to find that several military buildings on his side had already been blown up.

"How exactly did they..." At this point, he suddenly understood everything.

Their goal was not to breach the defenses!

It's infiltration!!

By concentrating heavy artillery fire to create a breach in the defensive line, rapid-movement forces can then penetrate directly through the breach, thereby achieving the goal of disrupting the defenses from within.

The use of poison gas was intended to prevent their own support troops from reaching the gap in the defense line, forcing them to take a detour. In addition, the white poisonous mist emitted by the poison gas also obstructed their vision, preventing them from noticing the position of their assault troops.

"I don't care who their commander is! That guy absolutely cannot be allowed to live!" the commander roared, unable to control his emotions. "How many people are left in this area?"

"About half a division of soldiers are still here." The soldier was frightened by his commander's bloodshot eyes, but he still reported.

"Tell them to stop those enemy troops rushing in immediately! Eliminate them here before they inflict further losses."

"Yes!"

The soldier ran out immediately after receiving the order, while the commander sat in his seat, looking much older.

--------

The scene shifts back to Isaac.

"The enemy has reached the city! Defend it now!"

Gadarrick's army had already noticed Isaac and his men breaking through the defensive line.

Isaac's assault force entered Mazig's city through a gap in the defenses without any risk.

"Listen up, soldiers! Our mission is destruction! Whether it's people or buildings, the enemy's ruins and corpses are your medals. I don't want to see anything intact later! Understand?"

"Yes!!"

The soldiers advanced rapidly toward the enemy's main military buildings with overwhelming force, heavy machine gun fire pouring out. Within minutes, the city was littered with enemy corpses.

Screams erupted one after another.

The assault troops are equipped with weapons with a wide kill radius, such as machine guns and cannons, specifically designed for sabotage operations.

Isaac stood on the battlefield, amidst the sounds of gunfire and screams, and took a deep breath.

"It's been a long time since I've exercised in a place like this."

At this point, he slammed his hands on the ground with a sinister grin. A burst of lightning erupted instantly.

呲!

Electric sparks kept emerging from the originally pitted and uneven ground.

The garrison in Gadallik, who were busy preparing for battle, also saw the lightning flashing from the ground.

"what happened?"

What is this thing on the ground?

While they were still stunned, the lightning suddenly disappeared, and in its place, sharp spikes suddenly sprang up from the ground and pierced them.

Seeing his side being utterly overwhelmed by Isaac's assault force, and witnessing spikes rising from the ground killing his comrades, Gadalik's morale plummeted to rock bottom.

"I don't want to fight anymore!"

"We surrender! We surrender!"

However, Isaac did not order a halt, and the attack continued.

Before long, the assault force had penetrated deep into the heart of the Gadari garrison.

Enemy reinforcements have arrived, but they have been suppressed by the firepower of the assault troops.

While they were fighting, Isaac charged out alone, easily taking down several enemies who tried to stop him, and went straight into the enemy command post.

He saw Gaddarick, who looked more than ten years older than he was when he was in command.

"Are you the commander here?"

The commander looked up at Isaac, a slight hint of surprise flashing in his lifeless eyes. After all, Isaac's age didn't seem like that of someone who would be on the battlefield.

“A child? No, never mind.” He sighed and said, “That’s right, I’m the commander here.”

He paused, then asked Isaac, "Can you answer a question for me?"

"what?"

"Who is your commander?" This was the question he most wanted to know before he died.

“It’s me,” Isaac said calmly.

"!"

The commander looked at Isaac in surprise, lowered his head and muttered, "Losing to a child, I'm really pathetic."

Isaac didn't speak, the gun was pressed against his head, and he pulled the trigger.

boom!

A gunshot rang out, and the commander fell to the ground.

After confirming his death, Isaac walked out of the command room and fired a signal flare into the sky.

Chapter 53: The Nuns of the Church

"Commander, signal flare spotted!"

"Has Mr. Isaac succeeded?"

Stepping out of the room and seeing the bright missile in the night sky, the commander knew it was time to launch the final offensive.

"All troops, attack!"

--------

And here in Isaac.

After killing the commander, he looked at the radio device on the table.

"It seems this guy sent news of the attack here to headquarters in Gadalrick before he died."

Isaac wasn't too worried. Although the main force participating in this battle was part of Leiden-Sheftrich's army, a considerable number of troops were also deployed elsewhere as a diversionary force.

They probably won't attack Mazig City anytime soon...

Several hours later.

The mighty army entered the city of Mazig, and the divisions that had originally detoured to provide support were crushed by the passing army.

With its commander gone, Galdarik's army was already incapable of fighting, and the city's main military buildings had been destroyed. A crushing defeat for the enemy was a foregone conclusion.

The battle ended in a complete victory for Leidenscheft.

After the battle, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

"Commander-in-Chief! All areas have been suppressed." A soldier from the assault team reported to Isaac.

"Very good, as planned. Report on the extent of the damage."

"A total of 25 people were killed and 70 were wounded. The rest are all fine."

"Is that so..."

After hearing the data, Isaac pondered for a moment. The loss of twenty-five men was within the expected range. He had thought that at least a hundred men would die in this operation.

This is good news, no doubt.

What is the enemy's situation?

"More than 3,000 of Gadarik's troops were annihilated, and 4,600 were captured."

This was indeed a great victory, achieving tremendous results with minimal losses.

The city of Mazig was originally a city of Leidensheftrich. Three years ago, it was seized by Gadarick, and its inhabitants were essentially placed under house arrest. They forbade anyone from leaving the city to ensure that Leidensheftrich could not obtain its resources, while Gadarick could monopolize the area.

Defeating the enemy forces in Mazig will not only grant you access to their supplies, but also allow you to seize their weapons and resources, making it a sure-fire way to profit.

More importantly, it liberated the citizens who were under house arrest in Mazig.

"Commander-in-chief, there is one more thing to report."

"Go ahead."

“Some enemy troops are hiding inside the Mazig Church.”

What kind of news is this?

"Then go and wipe them out. You don't need to report this small matter to me." Isaac waved his hand, dismissing the soldiers.

"Well... it seems there are some difficulties over there." The soldier hesitated.

"What's wrong? Are there still a lot of people hiding over there?"

"No...it's just that the situation over there is rather complicated. It would be better for the commander-in-chief to go and take a look."

"..."

Isaac had no choice but to find someone to drive him towards the church.

The church in Mazig is one of the city's iconic buildings. Although it is not as grand as the chapel in Intans, it is still very eye-catching in the city.
