"Every time Sky-Eye Satellite's strategic array is activated, an astronomical amount of magic crystals and rare materials are consumed, and it will cause irreversible etching loss to Heavenly Eye's rune substrate, shortening its service life."
Theo's Shield explained.
"More importantly, when Heavenly Eye activates its attack, support, or delivery functions, it must fully manifest into the physical space from the parallel dimensional gap used for concealment."
"This means that it will expose itself to the eyes of the Aura Kingdom."
"Once we use these functions, it means that our trump card is revealed, and a confrontation at the Legendary Realm level will be inevitable."
Rodrigo looked around at everyone, "I originally hoped that to gain an advantage in conventional warfare, I would first force out Aura's Legendary Realm to set the pace, and then our country's Legendary Realm unit would calmly respond."
He paused for a moment, and the sound of needle dropping could be heard in the conference room.
"But the reality of the past three months tells me that if this consumption continues, before we can force out the Aura of the Legendary Realm, our frontline legions, the flesh and blood of our Theo Kingdom loyal soldiers, will be exhausted first."
"Besides, Sky-Eye Satellite is guarded by a space barrier. Even if it is exposed, it is indestructible."
The old general with scars on his face suddenly stood up. "Commander, what do you mean... we want to take the initiative to upgrade?"
"Yes." Rodrigo said firmly, "I will request the highest authorization from His Majesty the King to activate Sky-Eye Satellite's strategic functions. We will use space advantages to attack Aura's weaknesses and reverse the passive situation on the ground battlefield."
He turned around and pointed at several key locations on the dynamic map.
"First, use over-the-horizon delivery to organize an elite commando team, teleport directly to the depth behind Aura, and attack its three main supply lines. If these are destroyed, no matter how ferocious the monsters on the front line are, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
"Secondly, in key defensive or offensive battles, activate Rain of Holy Healing to improve our army's continuous combat capability and survival rate. Imagine that when our soldiers become more courageous as they fight in Rain of Holy Healing, and the enemy can only rely on their own physical strength, the exchange ratio on the battlefield will be reversed."
"Finally," he placed his finger heavily on the light spot representing Iron Wall Fortress, "When the Aura frontline army is weak due to lack of supplies and increased casualties, we will use the heaviest and most powerful Orbital Strike to cooperate with the main ground forces to launch a general attack and completely destroy Aura's defense line."
Adjutant Torres couldn't help but interject. "In this case, Aura's Legendary Realm will definitely take action."
"Then let them come!"
Rodrigo's voice suddenly turned cold, with a hint of Ironblood, "This is exactly the situation I want to see."
"We have Legendary Realm, with more quantity and better preparation."
"If the war is destined to escalate to the Legendary Realm level, then at least the timing of the escalation should be in our favor, not after the army is exhausted."
"We must take back the timing and rhythm of war into our own hands!"
Orders were issued quickly.
The entire command center started to run at high speed like a clock that was wound up.
Two hours later, the highest order from Theo Royal Capital arrived via multiple encrypted messages Magic Array.
--His Majesty the King approved Rodrigo's plan and granted it the highest authority to use all strategic functions of Heavenly Eye in wartime.
"The barbaric things of the wilderness, feel the blow from the crystallization of the alchemical industry!"
The young generals were in high spirits.
Aura Kingdom territory, Blackstone Gorge supply center.
This is the most important intersection and transit warehouse among the three main supply lines, located in the rift valley in the relative hinterland.
In the natural caves and artificially dug warehouses on both sides of the canyon, there are mountains of food, bacon, Black Oil barrels, alchemy arrows, spare weapons and armor, as well as packaged healing ointments and other military supplies.
The person responsible for garrisoning here is General Troll, a member of the Star-Splitting Hammer Legion who is famous for his bravery.
He had just finished chewing a half-burnt Kodo Beast hind leg, and threw the thick leg bone into the bonfire beside him, causing a cloud of sparks to fly.
The feeling of fullness brings laziness, but inside he is more irritable.
He longed to swing his mace on a real battlefield and listen to the sound of the enemy's armor and bones shattering, instead of guarding silent boxes and barrels here.
However, he is also very aware of the importance of his task and cannot slack off.
"For His Majesty the Emperor..."
Troll General murmured something in a low voice to cheer himself up.
He grabbed the warhammer leaning against the rock and prepared for another routine patrol.
Although I feel that the possibility of an attack on the rear is unlikely, this is my duty.
Just when his huge body stood up straight.
Without any warning, a pillar of light as pure as a condensed galaxy suddenly descended on the open space in the center of the canyon, between the warehouse area and the barracks.
It appeared so suddenly.
There was no sign of Magic Power fluctuations, no distorted light and shadow common in portals, it was just projected straight and quietly from high altitude.
Troll's fighting instinct made his whole body muscles tense instantly, and a deafening roar burst out from his throat.
"Enemy attack--! Everyone, prepare for battle!!!"
However, everything happened too fast.
In one-third of a second, the pale Blue Dragon light pillar took shape, and light and shadow circulated inside; in two-thirds of a second, the light reached its peak, making it almost impossible to look directly at it; in exactly one second, the light pillar disappeared as silently as when it appeared.
But on the originally empty ground, there was already an army ready to go.
A total of five hundred Theo soldiers, with bright armor and bright weapons, stood in a strict assault formation.
They wore light composite armor that facilitated quick movement, and the sword and shield emblem of the Theo Kingdom was uniformly painted on their chests. Everyone's eyes were cold and focused, exuding a murderous aura that could only be honed by experiencing the real Blood War.
This is by no means an ordinary troop, but a truly elite force with sharp knives.
What shocked General Troll even more was the twelve steel giants arrayed in front of the phalanx of soldiers.
Heavy-duty Alchemy Golem from the Theo Kingdom!
Their height is generally more than eight meters, their shells are made of dark stainless steel that shines with enchanted luster, their left arms are high-speed rotating, ferociously serrated giant Chainsaw Sword, and their right arms are multi-barreled explosive grenade launchers.
On the cold metal face, the eye lenses were turning from dark to red, emitting a low hum of activation.
From the appearance of the light pillar to the landing of the troops, the entire process takes less than one second.
Troll General's brain didn't even have time to process this incredible sight.
What magic is this? Large group teleportation?
No, any large teleportation requires complex Magic Array and long Magic Power guidance, how could this be possible... from the sky?!
This scene is beyond the understanding of many low-level warriors and even some bosses.
"According to plan, attack!"
The human commander issued a short order using Continental Common Tongue, instantly breaking the dead silence of the canyon.
The next second, the sonata of destruction suddenly sounded.
In the chests of twelve Golem, Alchemy Engine roared like Beast.
The four figures at the front took heavy steps, crushing the frozen soil with their steel feet, and rushed straight to the nearest warehouse door.
The Ogre guards guarding there roared and raised their weapons to attack.
Chainsaw Sword swept past, the fine steel saw teeth tore armor and flesh, crushing bones. Ogre's screams suddenly stopped and turned into a rain of blood and minced meat.
The other four Golem raised their right arms and the barrels rotated at high speed to warm up.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions exploded in the barracks area.
Some Aura soldiers didn't even have time to put on their armor and pick up weapons before they were swallowed up by the flames and air waves of the explosion.
The wailing of Gnoll, the screaming of Kobold, and the neighing of Lizardfolk were mixed together.
At the same time, five hundred elite human soldiers were quickly divided into ten squads of fifty people.
Under the cross cover of the remaining four Golem, they rushed towards different points of the supply station.
Troll Zhan will break free from extreme shock, and he will be overwhelmed by rage and shame.
"Kill all these human bugs! For Aura!!"
He let out a thunderous roar, lifted up a giant mace that was as tall as an adult human with both hands, and at a speed that was inconsistent with his huge body, he rumbled towards the Golem closest to him who was using Chainsaw Sword to clear the obstacles at the entrance to the warehouse.
That Golem seemed to sense the threat and gave up cleaning up the remaining guards.
With a terrifying buzzing sound, the chain saw arm struck at the head of General Troll from above.
"Iron lump! Looking for death!"
The Troll warrior did not dodge or dodge, his muscles all over his body were tense, and he raised the mace hammer with all his strength from bottom to top. The sharp metal thorns on the hammer head created evil winds in the air.
Bang!!!!
A huge metal impact explosion that far exceeded any previous sound echoed in the canyon, making people's eardrums hurt.
Sparks flew everywhere like holiday fireworks.
Chainsaw Sword of Golem was hit by Colossal Strength and bounced upwards. Several of the most important transmission shafts were obviously twisted and the saw teeth stopped rotating.
And the three thickest spikes on General Troll's mace were broken.
Golem staggered back, trying to maintain balance.
General Troll was about to pursue the victory, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the other two Golems at the side and rear, who had already turned their guns.
Dangerous light condensed inside the barrel.
He roared, and his huge body rolled sideways with astonishing agility.
Whoosh - boom!
An explosive projectile flew past his shoulder armor and exploded on the rock wall behind him, sending rubble flying and leaving a huge crater.
"Ignore these iron lumps! Stop those humans! They are setting up explosives!"
Troll general rolled to his feet and roared at the somewhat confused defenders.
More Aura soldiers reacted from the initial blow and rushed towards the human team howling.
Gnoll threw iron short spears, Kobold warlocks threw scorching fireballs, and several Ogre brandished heavy weapons in an attempt to break through Golem's fire net.
However, human soldiers are well-trained and cooperate well.
Under the cover of Golem, they continued to throw alchemical incendiary bottles and triggered magic mines, fighting and advancing. Soon after, the human commandos had completed their main mission.
"Target No. 1, blasting settings completed!"
"Armory No. 2, fire up!"
"Black Oil area, ignite!"
The report was passed between the human squads via some sort of magical communication.
Then, boom, boom!!!
The first was a series of explosions coming from the Black Oil warehouse area.
The first muffled sound overturned the stacked oil drums, and the second and third sounds followed. The leaking Black Oil was ignited. Orange flames mixed with thick smoke rose into the sky like an angry dragon. In an instant, half of the canyon was illuminated in blood red, and scorching air waves swept away.
Almost at the same time, a loud noise was heard from the direction of the equipment depot.
The area where alchemical explosives and magic arrows were stored exploded, with colorful magic flames flying in the air. Occasionally, incompletely exploded magic arrows screamed and flew indiscriminately, causing secondary damage to the enemy regardless of friend or foe.
Troll General's heart sank to the bottom.
As far as the eye could see, more than half of the warehouse area was in flames, and thick smoke covered the sky.
The barracks area was plowed through by Golem artillery fire, resulting in heavy casualties.
At the same time, the human commandos who had completed the destruction mission had begun to quickly gather their formation and concentrated on the open space in the center of the canyon. The twelve Golem were also fighting and retreating, moving closer to them.
The human commander stood at the core, holding a diamond-shaped crystal that glowed with blue light in his hand.
"Stop them! We can't let them run away like this!"
The Troll general's eyes were splitting as he charged again desperately, swinging his mace like a windmill.
But it's too late.
The human commander raised the crystal high, and a subtle but clear beam of Blue Dragon shot out from the top of the crystal, pointing straight into the gray sky.
Almost at the same moment when this beam of light shot out.
Above the canyon, the pure pale Blue Dragon light descended silently again, covering all the remaining human soldiers and Alchemy Golem.
Troll Warlord roared unwillingly and threw the mace in his hand towards the center of the light beam with all his strength.
The heavy warhammer rotated and hit the light pillar with the sound of howling wind.
Bang! A muffled sound.
When the mace hammer touched the edge of the light beam, it seemed to have hit an invisible but extremely tough Force Field shield. It was suddenly bounced away and fell to the frozen soil with a clang, creating a shallow pit.
The scene inside the light pillar was slightly distorted, and then, like a light that was turned off, it instantly went out and disappeared.
Also missing were the Theo commando team and their remaining Alchemy Golem.
There were only a dozen corpses of confirmed dead human soldiers left on the spot, a few Golem broken metal fragments, as well as traces of explosions all over the ground, the corpses of Aura defenders, and the burning warehouse.
Humanity has also paid some price.
However, the damage they caused here is immeasurable.
Troll War General panted heavily and looked up at the sky above the canyon filled with snow and smoke.
There is nothing there.
But he knew that just now, at that invisible and extremely high place, there was an eye that saw everything that happened here, and a hand from hundreds of miles or even further away pressed down easily. Then, an elite force crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, turned his supply depot upside down in a few minutes, and then left calmly.
He summoned a shocked Goblin Warlock, his voice hoarse with anger and shame.
"Immediately, use the fastest communication method to report everything that happened here, the Blue Dragon light, the sudden appearance and disappearance of the human army, to General Glutton Demon Kalu and the rear headquarters in detail!"
"Notify all rear supply points, military depots, and workshops, and raise the alert level to the highest level!"
"This is no ordinary infiltration, this is a method we have never seen before."
The attack on Blackstone Gorge is just the beginning.
This night is destined to be restless.
At almost the same time, two other important material storage points and supply lines in the hinterland of the Aura Kingdom were attacked by exactly the same Blue Dragon beam of light from the sky, causing heavy losses.
Against the elusive enemy, the defenders did not have many effective counterattacks.
When the news reached the front line, Aura Legion was furious.
The next day, in retaliation for the attack on the supply line, they launched a more violent offensive in multiple directions, trying to repay blood with blood.
But this time, Theo's defense showed a different resilience than before and even started to counterattack.
Norman Pass and Eight-Snake Leopard personally supervised the battle, and the monsters under their command swarmed towards the Theo position.
Just when the pressure on the defenders was at its greatest, countless soft golden lights suddenly fell from the sky, like a warm light rain, accurately covering the Theo defenders' position.
When the light rain touched the body, the soldiers felt their fatigue disappear quickly and their wounds healed quickly.
The senior generals who fought against Eight-Snake Leopard were filled with intense energy, and their attributes in all aspects skyrocketed.
Morale was greatly boosted, and the commander took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and pushed back the monster army that had stormed the barrier.
Eight-Snake Leopard paid the price of several snake touches and escaped from the siege of human warriors.
In Rusted Valley, when Iron Dragon Laetitia spewed Dragon Breath in the air and cooperated with ground troops to clear Theo's outer strongholds, a beam of transmission light directly delivered a mixed force composed of five Golem and two hundred heavy infantry to the side and rear of the valley where the defense was relatively weak.
This sudden appearance of the troops immediately caused huge chaos from within and almost caused the key pass to be lost.
Laetitia had to go back and clean up the backyard.
Similar scenes played out in multiple war zones.
Theo Kingdom no longer pursues the tug of war with the Aura Legion on every inch of land Bloodshed.
They took advantage of Heavenly Eye's reconnaissance and delivery advantages to sometimes go deep behind enemy lines to strike at key points, sometimes to secure Rain of Holy Healing positions on key lines of defense, and sometimes to send small groups of elite troops to harass the flanks and cause damage.
The rhythm of the war was disrupted.
Aura Kingdom's proud individual strength and lord advantage began to feel troublesome in the face of the elusive attack and the opponent's instantly enhanced defensive toughness.
Their supply lines became unsafe and frontline offensives were repeatedly frustrated.
On the opposite side, the casualty rate of the Theo army began to decline significantly, while the casualties of the Aura Legion began to rise significantly.
In the winter of New Calendar 341, the war situation shifted significantly with the start of the Theo Kingdom Sky-Eye Satellite.
After that, as time passed, Aura Kingdom gradually turned to the defensive on most fronts, and the losses continued to increase. The time gradually came to the summer of New Calendar 343.
In the same year, the war between Ribos and Lothern reignited, and then swept the entire Romanian Plains.
A more fierce war than First Civil War, Second War of the Romanian States, has begun in full force.
By this time, Two-Ao War had been going on for nearly two years.
The blazing sunshine replaced the winter snow and shined on Ashen Plains.
Theo's Shield Rodrigo, is looking calmly at the sand table, and many humans Legendary Realm are already on standby, waiting for the best opportunity to strike a decisive blow.
At the same time.
Aura Kingdom, Crimson Flame Royal City, back mountain.
The defeat on the front line did not affect Red Iron Dragon Emperor's mentality.
Day after day, he sharpened his claws and scales, but in between exercises, he would look up at the vast sky from time to time.
Theo Kingdom's Magic Satellite brings them a huge advantage on the front line.
However, this is not without cost.
In addition to those losses, every use of Satellite makes its position coordinates in space clearer.
