The language atmosphere created by the discussion on the floating city was very tense, but the tension in the Rocky Mountains defense area was directly on the physical level.
The battle that had been going on for a while was still intense, but the outcome of the battle was somewhat clear. The United Kingdom had pushed into the defensive zone with their powerful strength. Although they had not been able to pull out many small forts, they had successfully divided the American wizards into various strongholds in various defensive zones.
Some of the non-defensive buildings on the ground had already been destroyed. The buildings on the ground were shaking due to the bombardment from the previous battle. Windows were broken, and thick smoke rose from various parts of the defensive zone. The ear-piercing sirens never stopped …
These strongholds buried deep in the ground did not suffer much damage. Most of the strongholds were not affected by the anti-teleportation barrier. In fact, if it were not for the defense of the strongholds, they could move freely.
Macduff led Ian and the others to the frontmost and most important stronghold in the defensive zone. The small defensive zone on the periphery occupied a strategic location, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Almost everyone in the team was injured, and the big guy from before had died in the battle.
The main spout that relied on the fire dragon's breath was still relatively intact. However, the poison horned beasts in the smaller bunkers that branched off had caused quite a bit of trouble for the kingdom's army at the beginning of the battle due to their explosive venom.
But when the enemy commander, Albert Harris, came in person and used his Animagus to transform into a strong poisonous horned beast and began a somewhat clumsy courtship dance, the females of the poisonous horned beasts turned and rushed to the defense zone. The male poisonous horned beasts also chased after them in a frenzy to get their mates back.
The big guy died in such a situation. He reacted quickly and directly blew up the passage of the poisonous horned beasts to prevent the interior of the stronghold from being destroyed by these uncontrollable monsters. He also exploded because he was touched by the horn of the poisonous horned beast. His other comrades who were in the middle of a fierce battle did not have time to save him. The healing spell could heal all kinds of serious injuries, but the premise was that the victim was still alive.
At this time, the guerrillas were not in the mood to mourn. Although their defense zone was temporarily safe, the captain and Ian stood at the protrusion with the fire dragon bunker and looked through the panoramic telescope to see the movements of the United Kingdom's army outside.
The wizards of the United Kingdom were cleaning up their fallen compatriots on the ground. Due to the preparations made by the American wizards in advance, these strongholds were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The wizards of the United Kingdom gave up on attacking Ian's stronghold at the entrance first. Instead, they used floating ships to transport people to the interior of the stronghold first. Although the larger scale of the ground forces could not enter the stronghold from the front, this tactic successfully separated the Americans in the defensive stronghold, allowing them to set up many temporary strongholds inside the stronghold.
Behind the Ian's team, the stronghold they replaced was in a fierce battle. The wizards in the bunker had been using spells to suppress the area in front of them, so that the United Kingdom's wizards could not have a safe place nearby. This made the stronghold, which was not very well defended, become the main target of the United Kingdom's wizards.
Albert Harris, the commander of the Magic Union Kingdom, was still maintaining the appearance of a poisonous horned beast after taking care of Ian's poisonous horned beasts. Behind him were the female poisonous horned beasts that he had dug out from the other settlements, and they were marching toward the settlement.
Under the protruding nozzle of the stronghold, the slope that the American wizards made to make it easier to shoot at their bunker had been changed by the United Kingdom's soldiers. They cleared out an open space, dug a trench there, and tried to use spells to dig a passage to the underground fortress of the opposite side of the stronghold.
The armed forces of the United Kingdom were ready. Obviously, as soon as the passage was formed, their commander and his poisonous horned beasts would blow up the spell-resistant walls, and the wizard soldiers would rush in and launch a fierce attack to occupy the stronghold that had caused them so much trouble and casualties.
"Sir Leonard still can't send the supplies to them?" Macduff, who was holding a telescope, asked the Ian. "They haven't thrown alchemy bombs in a long time, right?"
"After the United Kingdom cut off their communication with the outside world, although the United Kingdom can't break in for the time being, they've been setting up more and more anti-phantom spells." The Ian's tone was a little heavy. "You know, they're not big, and they didn't dig deep. The anti-phantom spells can easily cover them …"
"We switched with them... and ended up harming them instead..." Ian sighed. "The kingdom's main ground forces are clearly still being held back by us, but they were able to launch such an attack with so few people brought in by the spaceship..."
"What are they trying to do?" Macduff suddenly clenched the badge and screamed. He moved closer to the window, and a voice came from the badge. The commander of the attackers, Robert, quickly and briefly said his last words.
"Don't be crazy, I order you to surrender to the United Kingdom's army!" Leonard's urgent voice came from the badge.
Many people were moving in the bunkers. Obviously, these attackers did not use a private channel. It was like they were cheering for the people in other strongholds, so the American wizards in this defense area received the message. Although the words they left for their parents, wives, children, and relatives were short, the friendship, reluctance, and determination to resist made the others jealous.
"They still have to choose to fight with their lives." Macduff, who realized that things were not going well, said sadly with red eyes. The other team members clenched their fists and raised their binoculars to look at the situation.
The last words in the badge had ended, and Robert's voice could be heard shouting, "Follow me!" The adepts shouted in unison, "Charge!" and so on.
"For freedom!"
"For the United Kingdom of Magic!"
"Down with the evil Magic Kingdom!"
Soon, Robert, who was wearing an attacker's uniform, rushed out of the bunker with a wand in his hand. His big round face and eyes were wide open as he launched the attack first.
Behind him, the Strike Fighters gripped their wands tightly as they followed Robert out in full force.
The United Kingdom was not ready to break the wall, and they did not expect that the small group of American wizards who were trapped inside would not use their various defensive measures and run out to attack directly.
Curses instantly formed a dense net on the battlefield. The unprepared United Kingdom was caught off guard. The Sorcerers who were waiting to attack were agitated. Many of them were hit by the enemy's curses and lost their ability to fight, falling on the battlefield.
"Merlin, there are people rushing out with benches!"
The American wizards in the other strongholds screamed. Their eyes were fixed on the few wizards who rushed out with benches. Obviously, their wands were damaged in the previous guerrilla warfare. Without their wands, there was no doubt that they had no ability to protect themselves on the battlefield.
In the past few days of war, the wizards of the United Kingdom had been really angry because their comrades were injured. This time, after the initial panic, they quickly found the rhythm of the attack because they had the advantage of numbers and quality. They cooperated with each other and launched professional counterattacks. Some attacked and some defended, quickly reducing the damage and organizing an effective attack.
Viktor, who was originally part of the umbrella team, took the lead as the adjutant. He quickly dodged the spells on the battlefield. He shot out a green light and killed the attacker with curly brown hair who was shouting fiercely and trying to use a Death Curse on him. Then, he turned around and saw the wizard who was holding a stool. Viktor frowned and nodded when he saw the wizard's appearance. The green light began to condense on the tip of his wand and dissipated. He changed to a less powerful spell and attacked the wizard directly.
The glowing white spell smashed the stool in the American wizard's hand into pieces. Wood chips scattered all over the ground. The spell did not slow down and stunned the wizard. The wizard was still holding the stool in his hand when he fell to the ground.
The wizard soldiers of the United Kingdom nodded in approval at Viktor's way of handling the situation. Although they were enemies, they were impressed by Viktor's courage and followed his example. For those who used deadly spells, they would not hesitate to use Avadar's Curse in return. As for the others, they began to use some non-deadly spells to show their mercy and justice.
