The next day, Tower 9 station.

The United Front officers and policymakers who had been busy for more than a week in the winter finally returned to the front command post.

But now it can’t be the real front line.

Agsa noticed that on the map marked with a defensive circle, the railway front line was almost close to a range of fifteen kilometers from the ruins of Takila, and the five kilometers were divided into green "safe areas".Nearly three kilometers in front of the ruins, there is a bright red, which is obviously the most vivid change in a week.

"You have come back at last," said Dawn Philin Hill, who had come up quickly and made a standard military salute to the crowd.

The army and the rest of the staff also stood up, with a joyful salute, probably to see the return of the main heart, everyone's eyes showed a relief.

The ease also relieved Agra, and colleagues could laugh, at least to mean that the sudden extra-dip “dangerous zone” did not threaten the entire torch program.

"Well done, it seems that everyone has not been idle in the past few days."The iron axe nodded with satisfaction, then went to the map and knocked on the map, "Firin, you come to report the situation, the devil has received reinforcements?"

“No, my lord.”In the morning, he said, “That’s a ditch dug by the enemy.”

“The gap?”

"The first to find each other's movement was Miss Silver, part of the devil climbed out of the red mist and began the excavation work six days ago.Miss Lightning then confirmed the situation and noted that there was a demon operating in the ditch, so it was marked as a dangerous area.”

The Iron Axe and Itise and Agus looked at each other, “The trenches?”

“We think so, because, according to the hand drawing of the lightning, it seems very rudimentary at first glance, but it is generally very similar to the trenches in front of the First Army positions.The front and rear grooves range from ten to tens of meters apart, and there are many longitudinal trenches connected.”Filing spread out a rather scribbled drawing in front of the crowd, "the biggest difference with us is that the devil used to gradually withdraw the longitudinal gap more, and basically in a line, the deviation is not more than two meters, so that the whole seems more regular."

"They're learning people."Ai Gesha couldn’t help but whisper.

If the rumors before the first battle of God’s will are taken as fact, it means that after nearly a thousand years apart, the devil once again imitates human beings.

"It makes a little sense," said Edith, after thinking about the sketch, "that the long-ranges may not be for retreat, but for attack."

“Well,” the iron axe agreed, “it is true that hiding in a ditch reduces the chance of being hit by shrapnel, but they do not have weapons that can be fought against the fort guns, and only a few trenches cannot change the situation, and only when they enter the positions of the First Army can they hope to win.”

“So they’ve kept the gap so close?”Philin also quickly responded, "If they are all together, it can really shorten a lot of time to travel."

“So how should we respond?”Ai Gesha asked.

"Nothing needs to change."North Pearl sneered twice, "when they dig into the range of the artillery, let the Black River fire on the line."Although somewhat wasted, His Majesty has prepared sufficient ammunition for this decisive battle... I would like to see if they can bring the trenches before us with artillery fire.”

The iron axe looked at Filin, "has the recent construction of the railway has been smooth?"

“The enemy’s counter-push is a lot denser, but the damage is not great.”The latter reported that "it is almost impossible for the wild demons to approach the position, so they rarely send out ground troops, and the attack is mainly based on the fear of animals."However, from the number of ten to fifteen out of one move, it is estimated that there are not many more afraid of the flying beasts of Taqilar.If there were no high-level devil cover, we could have left more monsters behind.”

“The demon is moving again?”Ai Gesha frowned.

“More than once.”Filin nodded, “and each time it attracted the firepower of the anti-aircraft machine gun team, and the beast followed suit.”“It was only when I saw it that I felt... I was fighting a real monster.”

“What do you say?”Edith was curious.

“It is often inserted over the position from the weakest defensive position, and after landing, it can suddenly make those who watch it lose their heads for a few seconds, or if the soldier wears the stone of divine punishment.”Filin said slowly, "If there is no protection of the god stone - such as those who hide in the bunk, but can not control their curiosity, will fall into extreme panic."The closer to it, the more severe the impact will be, and the beasts waiting in the clouds will take advantage of this gap to launch a raid.Although Silvery tells the front in advance in each battle, it is not an easy task to intercept the target from the top of the head, and one or two hits will not bring it fatal damage.One of our best battles at the moment was when the enemy broke one of his arms after it landed.”

"It seems that the other party is not so lucky," the north pearl smiled.

“The problem is that when it reappears a few days later, the broken arm has recovered as if it hadn’t been hit at all.”Filin's smile was a little bitter, "If it's just that, we have Miss Nanawa, they may also have some special treatment, but..."

“Just what?”The iron axe asked.

“Several squad soldiers responded to the staff, and they found the movements of the despots increasingly difficult to capture, as if they were gradually adapting to this level of combat.In the past, a machine gun could block its course of action and force it to change its direction, but now it takes the cooperation of two or three teams to do so.Without these weapons and the stones of divine punishment invented by His Majesty, I suppose... it may kill us all on its own.”

“In the era of the Federation, they did so.”Agerza gritted her teeth, "and as long as he does not die, he will be able to live in the next battle."

“As long as... not dead?”

“The higher the devil evolves from constant fighting, and the more he hurts, the more powerful he will be when he makes a comeback—magically and technically.There are many extraordinary people who die at their hands, not only failing to cross the threshold, but taking them one step further.”The Ice Witch closed her eyes, "But not every demon can survive a serious injury, and can recover in such a short time, it can only be its own ability!" 」

“You mean... a higher-order devil with both curse and self-healing power?”The iron axe's face was grim.

“Probably so.”When Agratha opened her eyes again, only the cold pupils were left firmly, "Filin is right, this is a real monster, if it is safely evacuated, I am afraid it will bring us unimaginable trouble in the future."It must be here—in the land where the holy city falls—and it must be utterly destroyed!”
