"One day ago, our army marched here and encountered an enemy blockade on a low slope.

The enemy was very tenacious, but under our absolute strength, they eventually retreated. However, due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, we did not pursue them deeply.

So some scouts were sent to investigate. The scouts said that they needed to pass through an ice field in front of them, and the enemy had already retreated behind the ice field.

Moreover, the scouts captured some stragglers and wounded people, and we tortured them, but they would rather die than surrender. So far, we have not received any useful information.

The above is our battle situation these days, Lord Haihu."

In the tent belonging to the paradise.

Ange was reporting to a middle-aged man the status of the battle these days.

"Would you rather die than surrender?" Hai Hu frowned.

"Yes." An Ge nodded, "these people's fighting will is frighteningly tenacious, as if death is not the end for them, but a return home.

Although we repelled them, we also suffered heavy losses. If the opponent's strength is equal to ours, the possibility of our victory is very slim."

"After all, once they are defeated, their wives and children will be dead. It is understandable that they are determined." Haihu nodded.

But what surprised him was that An Ge rejected this.

"No, that's different."

There was a little fear in An Ge's eyes.

"Even if it is for their wives and children, there are always some people who will feel the fear of death at the last moment, but of those people I met, no one has ever had fear. They are more like...death than warriors.

scholar."

"Death warrior?" Hai Hu frowned, "Is it the brainwashing magic from the frozen soil?"

"I think so." An Ge said, "When Sparrowhawk and his friends came here to negotiate with me before, they mentioned the afterlife to me."

"Afterlife?"

"The world after death seems to be very beautiful in their descriptions," An Ge said.

"Ha." Haihu's face showed a bit of disdain, "It's really ridiculous, that Mr. Sparrowhawk back then has actually started to use this kind of trick to deceive others.

Sure enough, there was a reason why he was expelled from the Paradise by the Pope.

Tianhai is the same, extremely stupid.

Brother An, let me tell you, there has never been an afterlife in this world. People only have one life. When they die, they are dead, and there is nothing left."

He looked deeply into the distance, towards the setting sun gradually setting in the west.

"And now we are fighting for this only life.

Since they regard death as nothing, let them see how strong our will to live is.

Within half an hour, the army was prepared, and we passed through the ice field tonight under darkness and immediately headed for our final destination.

Revenge for Lord Hein!"

"Go from the ice field?" Ange couldn't help but said, "There are no bunkers for several kilometers there. What if the enemy ambushes me? The scouts are looking for other roads. Do you want to wait?"

"We can wait, but the tens of millions of people behind us cannot wait. They are hungry and cold, and they urgently need food and warmth." Haihu said.

"The opponent has been defeated once, and it is difficult to organize an ambush in a short period of time. Moreover, it is getting dark now. Now is the best time for us to march through there quickly!

What's more, what kind of attack do you think they can organize?"

Haihu said disdainfully, "The average magic power possessed by each of those long-abandoned wastes in the frozen land is not even one-tenth of that of the person with the least magic power in the Paradise. It is difficult to form a relatively dense fireball net.

Even if there is an ambush, we can crush it with absolute power!

We have to get through before they can regroup!"

Hearing this, Brother An also nodded, "Yes! I will make arrangements right away."

Then, he ran out of the camp and began to mobilize part of the army to prepare for an emergency march. Their preparations were very fast, and they packed up their supplies and entered the ice field in about fifteen minutes.

At the same time, on the other side, behind a hillside at the end of the ice field, a group of tundra men covered in white yak hides were quickly assembling gun barrels brought from the arsenal in the underground city.

Not long ago, the scouts used magical flight to explore this place in the air, but the yak skins they wore were natural snow-capped mountain ghillie suits.

They didn't notice it at all.

Soon, row after row of mortar arrays gradually formed.

Qianjun, one of the first three Earthlings to enter the permafrost, was lying on the hillside with Sparrowhawk wearing yak hides. They used the fifth element to enhance their vision and looked into the distance. They were silent and waited for the enemy's steps.

Falling into the trap designed by them...

The commander of this battle is Qianjun, while Sparrowhawk is the auxiliary commander.

In the past few hundred years in the Promised Land, due to the existence of the Pope and the plan to abandon the old, there have been very few wars, and most of them have been small-scale counter-rebellions.

And even hundreds of years ago, when the plan to abandon the old did not exist, in the small land of Paradise, the so-called war for China was at most the level of village-level fighting.

How can it compare to the wars that China has experienced for five thousand years?

For Qianjun, a national defense student who had experienced systematic tactical and strategic education, it was not difficult for him to command this war even on paper.

Qianjun is a heroic spirit. Because of the background that Xia Lian set for them, they are very respected by the frozen people. Therefore, Qianjun is the commander of this battle, and these people also approve of it.

He breathed calmly and waited quietly for the enemy to appear. Soon, a group of heavily dressed troops appeared in their sight.

Sparrowhawk looked at Qianjun with a little joy on his face.

Qianjun raised his finger to his mouth to signal him to quiet down. Sparrowhawk was speechless and looked at the army in the distance with a somewhat complicated expression.

Their previous defeat was obviously a show to lure the enemy deeper. They sent some immortal heroes to create a scene of heavy casualties.

However, because there were too few heroic spirits to create the feeling of a main force, some frozen warriors were also mixed in. The battle was fierce, which also resulted in some casualties.

These are the people Tianhai brought into the afterlife.

The enemy stood in a military column and moved forward in a very disciplined manner, gradually approaching ten kilometers, eight kilometers, and finally five kilometers.

Sparrowhawk couldn't help but look at Qianjun.

"Don't be anxious." Qianjun murmured in a low voice, "We have never tried this mortar, so we should try to be more conservative."

Sparrowhawk nodded, and after a few more minutes, as the enemy got closer and closer, their pressure increased, three kilometers, two kilometers...

Suddenly, Qian Jun clenched his fists fiercely and shouted to the people behind him.

"Set up and shoot Zhu Yuan! Azimuth angle 27, shooting angle 65!"

Qianjun conducted a brief tactical training on these people, and they quickly began to follow Qianjun's words and correct the angle of the mortar, while another group of people picked up the shells and entered the preparation.

"preparation!

--put!"

Accompanied by a critical order.

All the people holding the shells put the shells into the mortar barrel at that moment.

"Pfft~"

With a crisp sound, dozens of cannonballs slid through the air in a graceful arc until they flew towards the army.

The leading Paradise officer, Haiying, seemed to have noticed something. He raised his head nervously and saw several oval-shaped metal bullets flying towards them.

Looking at the cannonball flying towards them, and after confirming that it was not a fireball, his mood relaxed slightly.

He smiled disdainfully, then turned back to look at the army behind him and said with a smile.

"Be careful, rocks are being thrown from the other side, don't get smashed."

The moment he finished speaking, the mortar shells also fell straight into the crowd, but maybe it was a workmanship problem, or maybe it was Qianjun's strategy.

This first bomb was obviously a dud and did not explode.

Seeing the iron bullet falling into the ice, the crowd burst into unprecedented laughter, as if they were laughing at each other's innocence and weakness, and wanted to cause harm to them.

But the next second, another iron bullet followed.

"boom!

!”

The hot flames and impact made a harsh roar and exploded among the crowd. The soldiers didn't even have time to use magic to defend themselves. They were directly thrown away by the impact and fell to the ground covered in blood.

There was silence among the crowd, but then dozens of mortars came from the sky one after another.

Sea Eagle's expression began to change instantly, and he roared at the people around him, "Spread out, spread out! Use magic to build a bunker! Quick!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of mortars landed at the moment he finished speaking. These people had no time to escape and were directly hit by the mortars.

The power of these shells was not strong, only slightly stronger than grenades, but they stood densely and reacted slowly. Qianjun and others took an advantage. The bombardment of this wave of mortar barrages directly reduced their numbers.

More than a dozen people.

And it was during this wave that these Paradise people spread out in all directions and used ice cubes to build an ice wall almost several meters high in front of them. They hid behind the ice wall.

In their past battles, most of the fireball techniques were like guns, with straight or diagonal impacts, so most of the bunkers they built were used to defend against straight and diagonal attacks from the front.
