Black Dragon Code

"Black Dragon Codex ()"

Ramell was alone in his office room on the ground floor of the castle, sitting behind a huge square table and working with a magic wall lamp. The room was large and had a faded map on the wall, full of Either red or black callouts.

No one would have imagined that in this inconspicuous and dilapidated castle, the commander of the most powerful army group on the southern line of the empire on which the sun never sets sits, Ramel Kevin, commanding an army of 200,000 troops. His task is to defend a An extremely long coastline—extending nearly a thousand kilometers, from the embankment of Balaroland, across the entire Fernan Province, to the southern coast of the Red Dragon Peninsula where the sun never sets.

Ramell and his main force "Surger Legion" are concentrated in Black Rock City, which is the narrowest section of the Howling Strait and the section where the enemy is most likely to launch a landing attack.

The aged general took a sip of his strong tea and continued to write in the order: "Every effort must be made to complete the barrier-setting project, and the enemy must pay a very high price before it is possible to land at low tide... All spellcasters You should do your best, and you must submit a completion report to the headquarters in two days."

What he did encountered a lot of resistance in the empire. Many nobles believed that it was impossible for the south to break out of war, and it was impossible for the northerners to bypass the entire Eladea to attack the south coast of the empire. Moreover, the Buluo Empire and the deep-sea kingdom have officially formed an alliance. With the separation of the Sea Clan, it is even more difficult for Black Wing to launch a surprise attack across the sea.

These resistances converged into a powerful voice in the country, but fortunately, Emperor Enrithil agreed with Ramell. He still remembered that day, Enrithil stood in front of the table with a huge map and made a five-minute speech. Unforgettable Temper—

The emperor slammed the map with his clenched fist, and roared at those veteran nobles: "Black Wing may launch an attack here... here... here... and here... anywhere you can see. Are you old guys in a daze? How can you use human thinking to speculate on monsters' thoughts."

"Don't count on the Deep Sea Nation. The aboleths hate us more than Black Wing. Once the dragon promises them more benefits, these sea clans will soon turn against them."

After everyone left, Enrithil met him alone again, "Ramel, this matter must be done, you are the one I trust, I entrust the land on the south bank and the lives of the soldiers to you, don't let me down .”

——

After finishing the order, Ramel got up and opened the window of the castle. Outside the window was a beautiful rose flower bed, but now it has changed beyond recognition. Not long before dawn, a short storm hit from the Howling Strait and swept across Black Rock City. Then he fled quickly, leaving only rose branches and petals broken off on the ground.

"Good morning, Your Excellency General." His adjutant Xiao knocked on the door: "It's ready to go."

Ramell stepped out of his castle and walked out. Outside, in the silent town of Black Rock, the bells of "Praise the Sun" were struck by the Church of Pero, each bell was bright in the strong wind, and now it was time to head to the beach. The inspection time was six o'clock in the morning.

According to the order of General Ramell, the Southern Front Group Army erected heavy anti-landing obstacles on every possible landing beach along the thousands of miles of coastline, including jagged iron nets, sharp tripods and heavy iron piles, The soldiers pushed them into the shallows or underwater, and they were matched with powerful magic traps. These ominous things would explode as soon as they encountered them.

Not only that, Ramell also ordered that traps be placed on the beaches, reefs, ravines, and all the paths leading to the interior-all kinds of spells, from the devastating thunder that can blow up the dragon, all the way to An imperceptible poisonous fog of madness. Now, 600,000 such spell traps have been deployed on the entire coastline, and he plans to deploy another 400,000 within two days.

Overlooking the coastline behind dense forest-like traps and obstacles, are the soldiers of the Southern Front Army. They are waiting in forts, bunkers and trenches. Every magic cannon that the Southern Army can collect,

They are all condescending and facing the sand, and according to the calculation, the firepower can cross each other. The reason why they are facing the sand and not the sea is to give the guy who landed a powerful short-range flat shot.

Ramel prepared a bloody welcome ceremony for the possible enemies. In the history of Elradia's war, no one has ever arranged such a large and lethal defensive formation.

"Your Excellency, is this place really going to be attacked?" Ramel's assistant Xiao accompanied him on the highest point of the coast, looking down and said.

In order to complete Ramel's plan, the empire sent tens of thousands of slaves, farmers, and laborers to the south bank. They built fortifications day and night, and a large number of mortals died of heavy work.

The spellcasters are also uncomfortable. To erect a barrier that spans thousands of miles in a short period of time requires an astonishing number of spells. Ramel used all the spellcasters, so that Fernan, Boluo, Bosa There is no longer a mage holding a wand in the province, and even the royal mages have been transferred to meet the needs of the construction of the south coast defense line.

"Whether the black-winged monster will land here, I don't know."

Ramel shook his head, "But the emperor's decision is undoubtedly correct. Only by stationing here can we ensure the safety of the empire's rear and allow Leon and his Dawn Legion to concentrate on fighting. Otherwise, once those monsters attack, they will break through the defense line and board the There will be an unstoppable disaster on the south bank, and if you want to drive them out at that time, I'm afraid no one in Elradia can do it."

"I heard that General Staitt had some disagreements with you, and there was a lot of trouble in the parliament?" Shaw whispered.

"That idiot." Ramel replied casually, "Steit firmly believes that the initial landing is unstoppable, and if the defense line is really necessary, it should be established outside the range of the Blackwing ships, otherwise our army will be destroyed. Suppressed and unable to move."

"Stett's plan is to retreat the troops from the beach and launch an attack after the monsters have landed. His reason is that Black Wing has just landed successfully, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent, and there is no sound supply line, and he is at his weakest Xiao, do you think so too?"

"I don't dare to infer what the generals think." The assistant said, "But I know that the Black Wing Empire's naval fleet is advanced and powerful. If we want to hide from the range of their naval guns, we have to put our defenses in place." Just set it inland."

The old general smiled, his smile was gentle, but with an undisguised mockery: "So the victory or defeat of the war can be seen on these beaches. The South Bank Army is not the Dawn Army. Once the monsters successfully stand Follow up and build a teleportation array, and the end of the entire South Bank will come."

"We only have one chance to stop the enemy, and that's when they're still in the water trying to land."

"The main line of defense is here."

Ramel pointed his sword at his feet, and his voice was like a heavy hammer forging steel: "All our forces have to be deployed by the sea. Believe me, Shaw, the first twenty-four hours of the invasion will be decisive, whether it is against For the Black Wing that we may come, that day will be the most critical day."
