Chapter 274: The Great Disaster - The Final Battle 3
"Disaster progress bar: 5.3%."
On the fifth day of the catastrophe, wars around the world never stopped.
Due to the protracted battle, Gu Mi will personally go to the battlefield for the first two days, leading the soldiers in the territory to fight against the enemy in order to improve morale, then he will temporarily retreat to the rear and take over the commander-in-chief of the entire territory front. Command and dispatch authority.
Combatant deployment, troop deployment, combat strategy, logistics supply, and most importantly, monitoring the damage to various defensive buildings in the territory, so that problems can be dealt with in a timely manner, etc., all need to be handled by Gu Mi.
Even though she has a lot of talents who can help with management, Gu Mi, who has retreated to the back, is still busier than on the frontline battlefield, and she is so busy that she even squeezes time to eat and rest.
Many times, you have to discuss countermeasures with your subordinates while eating, or give orders.
At this time, no one would care about the image.
" Hey ..." " Boom
..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The daily main tone, everyone was apprehensive, apprehensive and difficult to adapt from the beginning, and now they have become slightly used to it.
Even many people have been able to accompany this voice with a blank face, trying their best to do everything at hand.
The fire of the Great Furnace is not extinguished for a long time, and the scorching high temperature makes the air above it twist slightly, and accompanied by the vigorous flame, it is the sound of metal beating that fills all the forging rooms.
Countless weapons and equipment are continuously produced and transported to the frontline battlefield.
All restaurants and restaurants in the territory, including cafes, cake shops and other places where fire can be opened, have been collectively requisitioned.
The chefs waved their iron pots and spoons, skillfully and swiftly frying pots and pans of dishes that could fill the stomach. The stomach of warriors who fought hard to defend their territory.
In addition to normal meals, there are naturally special people who will prepare some things that are convenient to carry, such as small bread, which will be distributed to every soldier as combat readiness materials.
Nowadays, there are people who eat and kill on the battlefield.
No way, this battle will last at least three months depending on the situation. If they don't seize all the gaps to replenish their physical strength and energy, how can they survive.
Even today's agricultural areas are still planting yields.
A protracted war is, to put it bluntly, a war of attrition.
Even if their material reserves are sufficient, no one dares to bet that they can survive this catastrophe by relying on the stored materials, so naturally they have to seize all the resources that can be obtained and desperately hoard all kinds of materials.
Not only the agricultural area, but all the factories in the industrial area have not stopped working, but most of them only have automated production, and human production has been reduced to the extreme. There are even many elderly people and children who have been temporarily added in, including some who are slightly capable. Injured patients doing some work.
Everyone else who can fight is on the battlefield.
The rear can only be supported by these people.
"Disaster progress bar: 10.7%."
The tenth day of the cataclysm, mid-October.
Hope Territory lost more than 5 million people, including a legion commander, Lacarte.
There are also numerous officers and generals.
When he heard the news, Gu Mi happened to be standing on the large square in front of the first arena in their territory, staring silently at the corpses that covered the entire square.
Scattered people walked beside these corpses in confusion, and the sobbing and crying of sadness and grief came from their ears, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressed.
Not all the dead are lying here.
They were just lucky that their corpses were rescued by their comrades. In the crushing and trampling of the army, or...disappearing in some unknown corners.
Here, Gu Mi saw two familiar voices.
Lying together, his body was covered in blood and dust, so dirty that he couldn't see his original appearance, he could only tell from the thick black and brown hair that covered the sky that he was a fairly young man.
His chest no longer rises and falls, and he is clearly devoid of vital signs. He is dead.
Standing together, the same dirty body, there are still many traces of being burned by the fire, and he is still holding a casting hammer in his hand that has not had time to put down. The silver hair on his head shows that he is no longer young. .
At this moment, he was standing silently beside the corpse on the ground, his eyes were empty, and he stared at the corpse's face numbly.
"He is a heroic warrior, and I am proud of him."
Seemingly noticing Gu Mi's approach, the old man standing beside the corpse, the father of Lakat, Patriarch Mok suddenly spoke, with a very calm expression said in a tone of voice.
"Yes, I, including the territory, are also proud of them." Gu Mi raised his head, looked around at the corpses all over the ground, and then looked up at the fine snow falling from the sky.
"The first snow of this year came really early." The
snowflakes fluttered and fell on the bodies that were already stiff. They were not frozen for too long by the cold wind and snow outside, and were soon taken to a seat. The hearth, where the fire has risen, is thrown into it, burnt to ashes, and sleeps forever.
"Disaster Progress Bar: 11.2%"
Day 11.
When it's time for dinner.
The soldiers who were taken off from the battlefield shook their hands and held large bowls full of food. They didn't even need to use tableware, they just grabbed them with their hands and stuffed them into their mouths.
They had to eat fast, and after they finished eating, they went into the garden to rest, and they recovered quickly. When they recovered, they could go to the next group as soon as possible.
Gu Mi also went to the battlefield today.
She killed an unknown number of enemies, and now she still has a terrifying chill.
Knowing that her presence might affect others, she casually found a corner and squatted in a corner with a bowl of food that was the same as others.
Halfway through the meal, I suddenly heard a whole suppressed whimpering sound. This kind of crying is not unfamiliar these days, on the contrary, it is very familiar.
Gu Mi shouldn't have paid more attention, and thoughtfully left a little room to vent her emotions, but the voice was too familiar, so she couldn't help but poked out a little sense and scanned it.
In the perception field of vision, Patriarch Mok was wearing battle armour, holding a bowl of rice in his hand, and while stuffing rice into his mouth, he couldn't help sobbing and weeping.
Tears and rice were stuffed into his mouth together, but he ignored it and just ate there desperately.
On the day of Lakat's death, Patriarch Mok didn't react too violently, but on the same day, he passed the patriarch's position to his younger son, and he went to the battlefield in battle armour.
At that time, Gu Mi could see that he wanted to avenge his eldest son, but he didn't expect to accidentally bump into the vulnerable scene of the other party.
In the bottom of my heart, I secretly said sorry to the people, Gu Mi ate all the rest of the food, not wasting it at all, and then picked up the double knives and went to the battlefield again.
Kill some more.
As long as she can kill a few more enemies, maybe they can kill a few less people in their territory.
"Disaster progress bar: 23%."
On the 23rd day, the number of casualties in the Hope Territory reached more than eight million, and at the same time, another legion commander was killed.
He is the commander of the Tenth Legion, a tiger orc named Yali.
There was no time to grieve, and no time to be sad. Everyone was desperately fighting the enemy. It was also at this time that Hope Territory received a distress message from the aboriginal territory. " Borgkard
: Our kingdom is about to be broken. I beseech your territory to accept some of our people."
"Hope territory: Access has been opened."
After the communication was confirmed, Bogkad immediately began to send some refugees to the Hope Territory through the teleportation array between the two parties.
At the same time, a large number of materials were sent.
This is Bogkad's gratitude to the Hope Territory for being willing to lend a helping hand in times of crisis, as well as support for them.
"Borgkad: Maybe there will be no such world-famous scholar's holy place in the future. We sincerely hope that your territory can survive safely."
This was the last message Bogkad sent to the Hope Territory.
That day was also the day that Bogkard was completely destroyed.
Some people may feel sorry for this, but most people don't have the free time to think about it. The looming existential crisis forces those from Bogkad to integrate at an incredible speed. Hope Territory.
Those who could go to the battlefield also rushed to the front line to fill the gap in troops that had appeared due to the excessive number of deaths. Those who could not go to the battlefield were scattered and integrated into all walks of life in the territory to help them support the rear.
I have to say that with the addition of these new populations, the pressure on the Hope Territory has been relieved a lot, and the resistance on the frontline battlefield has become stronger.
However, the good times did not last long.
When the progress bar slowly reached 30%, it was just over a month after the catastrophe broke out, and a gap was broken in the defense line of the Hope Territory.
A small number of magical beasts were mixed with undead creatures and monsters pouring in. Although this gap was quickly blocked, the double-layer fence was severely damaged, and there was basically no possibility of being repaired. The durability of the city wall was also reduced to below the warning value.
In addition, the enemy's invasion also caused certain damage to the personnel and buildings inside the territory. Fortunately, when Gu Mi was building the territory, in addition to focusing on external defense, he did not let go of the interior.
Only in this way can we use the fastest time to eliminate the group of enemies who took the opportunity to run in and block the defensive gap.
But these are not the most important issues.
The really terrifying problem is that the battle has continued until now, and the middle and high-level monsters have begun to play!
It was precisely because the advanced beasts gathered together to carry out a sneak attack that a defensive line was broken, and the legion commander Fuli, who was guarding the other side, was directly seriously injured. Now he is still in the hospital in the territory for emergency treatment, and his life is not out of danger.
In addition to the above description, the damage to the territory is not only these.
There are commanders in the enemy army.
This is an obvious thing.
Therefore, it has become a matter of course to order the beasts to specifically attack the buildings such as arrow towers and turrets when they realize that the arrow towers and turrets are extremely harmful to them.
Therefore, I hope that the offensive buildings in the territory are more seriously damaged than the defensive buildings. Fortunately, they have money and hoard enough resources.
If the building is damaged, it will be repaired, and if it cannot be repaired, it will be newly built.
As long as they spend enough money on resources, they are not afraid of the deliberate destruction of the enemy.
"Disaster progress bar: 59.6%."
In the second month of the catastrophe, the difficulty of the disaster has skyrocketed, and the number of casualties has skyrocketed.
Hope Territory lost more than 15 million people.
Commander Yao Yu, Assassin leader Qiao, died in battle, the dwarf clan leader Mok, and the dragoon army leader Emilia were seriously injured and dying, and are still lying in the hospital for rescue.
During this period, the Friendly Territory and the Deep Ocean Territory were destroyed.
The remnants of the Friendship Territory brought everything they had left and merged into the Hope Territory. Lord Bai Aai presented three lord-level items to Gu Mi in order to seek shelter.
The surviving population of the Deep Ocean Territory was rescued by the group led by Kayana, the queen of the merpeople, and is now incorporated into the territory of the merpeople.
Between the two sides, Hope Territory has played a role in connecting the lines.
If it weren't for this, the mermen would not save the survivors of the Deep Ocean Territory for no reason.
