51. Offensive and defensive battle of the Temple of Time (1)
.The north shore of the Moon Lake, the prairie
This vast and magnificent mountain meadow has now turned into a hellish Shura field. The burning fire spread and raging on the slightly yellowed grassland. The thick smoke covering the sky and the sun makes the sun dim. The tents and huts are submerged in flames and smoke, and the sound of tragic cry is heard one after another. From time to time, a few roasted and scorched survived, driving the cattle and sheep and trying their best to rush out, but they fell to the ground under the smokey guns, rolling and hissing for a moment, and then there is no sound again.
Under the exquisite basalt totem pole, countless corpses were intertwined layer by layer, each with a hideous face, as if he had exhausted his last strength in his life, and the ground was flowing with undried blood. Teams of ragged and dirty women, driven by swords and guns, lined up into the fence where the animals were originally closed. Each of them was dull and expressionless. What awaited them was endless rape and humiliation, and almost destined torture--this was the hinterland of the enemy, and the elves could not take them back as slaves.
Lieutenant General Daniel stood outside the town, watching the tragedy silently. The ashes in the city were still swaying smoke, and the streets were dyed with blood. Whether it was the elves and indigenous puppet troops who came from the expedition, or the Inca traitors who had recently defected, they were all releasing their own animal desires in the town at this moment. The sound of insults, crying and the sound of the thugs were intertwined. The sad screams of the women were rippling over the town, gradually becoming hoarse and unheard...
Since crossing the snow-capped mountains, all the wars he commanded have been going smoothly. Tens of thousands of elves came overwhelmingly, and almost all the elite soldiers and generals of the Incas were concentrated on the Dukusco line. The rear was extremely empty. In a hurry to fight, they were defeated one after another. Nearly one-sixth of the country's territory turned into ruins and purgatory.
In order to obtain the necessary supplies, under the explicit order or hint of the superior officer, every soldier of the Elf Army became a bloodthirsty beast. = In just one week, he even slaughtered more than 20 cities and killed more than 300,000 people, displaced nearly two million people. There were also many small tribes dissatisfied with Tkumse, selling themselves to surrender, making Daniel's troops snowball like a snowball. It soared to more than 70,000----when he had just finished walking the mountain road, he had only less than 40,000 left.
However, Lieutenant General Daniel was still not happy at all in the face of a seemingly good battle situation.
"...A total of 4,600 pounds of corn, 7,500 pounds of potatoes, 120 pounds of bacon, and 62 jars of dried vegetables... that's all, this place is too poor. It's not enough for the whole army to have a meal!"
The clerk took a statistical account book and reported to Daniel with a sad face, "God General, we have only collected enough supplies for five days now, but we are eating more and more. If this continues, we won't do it!"
"What else can I do? You can't refuse those tribes to come and surrender!" Daniel scratched his head irritably, "Our army has not entered this land for more than 20 years. We must let these local snakes be the leader... Is Major General Fitras back?"
"No, not even a message came back!" Another chief general of the Expeditionary Force, Admiral Paris, snorted from his nose. "That stupid bastard only deduced a prophecy based on magic. He just said that there was food in the desert and took away more than 3,000 soldiers... I had already tortured the prisoners in advance. There was nothing but a salt field there, but he just didn't believe it!"
"Oh, let's not talk about what has passed. The most important thing we work now is to collect materials as much as possible and prepare to fight Tkumse's crusade." Daniel smiled bitterly and shook his head, distracted from the topic, and no longer thought about these tragic things.
He took out a map of the captured animal skin from his arms, which was stained with black and brown blood. "According to the information recently inquired, the main force of the Incas, the Wang army of Tkumse, is basically stationed in Cusco. Within a radius of one thousand miles, there are only about 5,000 regular troops of the Sun God Church, and some useless tribal private soldiers. We have experienced their combat effectiveness a few days ago. It is basically the same level as the waste."
"Just 5,000 regular troops?" Paris smirked. When he attacked Cusco, the Elf Army had to use almost ten times this number of troops every time he attacked.
Of course Daniel knew what Paris was laughing at. He said helplessly: "The five thousand regular troops are indeed not scary, but things are not that simple. These troops are now deploying in their holy land, the area of the Temple of Time, the headquarters of the Sun God Church. The terrain is dangerous, the defense is strong, and it guards the only important road on the west bank of Moon Lake - most of the Inca towns and population are gathered south of Moon Lake. We must go south from this road to further penetrate into the hinterland of the enemy country. Two days ago, our army's vanguard had already launched a tentative attack on the Temple of Time, and suffered heavy losses. Now I am ready to gradually concentrate all my troops and move another general attack as soon as possible..."
Paris was very surprised: "Our strategic goal is to create chaos in the heart of the Incas, dismantle the enemy from the inside, and create opportunities for the main force of the Cusco battlefield, rather than to chew tough problems... Can't we go around it?"
"If we detour the east coast, it will take at least one month," Daniel explained. "We don't have that much military ration or so much time at all. According to the command level of our old skinned marshal, it is already the mid-year fortune to be able to persist on the Cusco front until now."
"The Temple of Time has sufficient food and a lot of treasures, which can effectively supplement military supplies. There is also the religious center of the Incas. Once the Temple of Time is seized, it will definitely be able to severely hit the morale of these barbarians!" A woman wearing a purple priest robe came over and added. Her clothes were decorated with obsidian, black agate and amethyst, and a small black disc on her chest, and purple rings were inlaid on her outside, wearing silver chains. This is the holy emblem of the goddess of dark night, "Ms. Ye just gave me a clear example that as long as your army attacks the Temple of Time, she will give you all blessings and help them personally!"
Daniel and Paris looked at each other, and their expressions showed confusion and surprise.
"Dear Miss Yana, please forgive me for promising to confirm. Does Ms. Ye really say that? She plans to come down to earth to help the battle in person?"
Generally speaking, in order to create an "eternally correct" image of "glorious and upright", gods rarely publish clear divine metaphors to the outside world, let alone intervene in the battles in the lower world. Every time they create an incarnation for descending to earth, it consumes an astonishing amount of faith power, but the power of the incarnation is very limited. If you choose to possess a believer, although the power of faith is not consumed much, once you encounter an attack, you will be in danger of life. As an extremely selfish existence and who is determined to harm others and benefit yourself, unless it is absolutely necessary, no god will be willing to take any risk to the survival of the believer.
Moreover, the goddess of dark night Shar was the mortal enemy of the elves centuries ago. It was not until the last hundred years that the goddess of magic Mistera gradually turned into an alliance with the elves gods because of the oppression of the magic goddess Mistera, but the relationship was still not very strong. It would be more realistic to expect her to sacrifice her life for the great cause of conquest of the elves, it would be more realistic to expect the sun to come out from the west.
"It's true, because there are preys that Ms. Ye is interested in in the Temple of Time." The priest of the goddess of dark night Shar replied with a smile, "Do you need me to swear in the name of Ms. Ye?"
"There is no need for that." Paris's face suddenly changed, and then he showed a very strange expression, "His Highness the Queen of God just gave me the same revelation and ordered me to conquer the Temple of Time... What exactly is there that deserves the care of His Highness the Queen of God of Labor?" He said in confusion.
"The will of God is not something that we and other mortals can guess." Yana raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to be the priest of His Highness Angeris."
"It's just the lowest level of intern priests. After all, as a soldier, I don't have much time to study doctrines." Paris said with a wry smile, "Daniel, His Highness and Ms. Ye are talking, what do you think?"
What do I think? What else can I think? I originally proposed to attack the Temple of Time first! Daniel curled his lips, "I feel very honored for the support of the two high men."
This was like a satirizing Goddess Angeris and Ms. Ye for copying their plans, which made the two clergy glar. However, the matter was not over yet.
"Ms. Jinxin has come to the divine metaphor and instructs us to march towards the Temple of Time!"
"Sunny Shallow sent us an emergency instruction and must conquer the Temple of Time at all costs!"
"The prophecy and illusion goddess of the night sky elves) responded to my prayer! Our army should capture the Temple of Time as soon as possible!" He rushed over with panic and conveyed the latest instructions conveyed by the gods they served to the two commanders. The content pointed to the mysterious Temple of Time without exception. Daniel and Paris couldn't help but look at each other---What treasures are there in that place that deserve the attention of the gods?
The black smoke gradually dissipated, and the killing in the town was coming to an end, but at this moment, a new round of more cruel and strange fights was about to begin.
