Chapter 2178 - Troops Stationed At the Frontline

Chapter 2178: Troops Stationed At the Frontline Translations

The allied forces from the various races on the Norland Continent began to reach the frontline one by one. Under Mag and Dominic’s arrangements, they began to set up the line of defense.

Meanwhile, the work at the frontline was done before the expected completion date after receiving support from all the races.

They even made a 100 meter wide boulevard of glutinous rice and dug a trench that was over 100 meters deep 160km away from the Gus Mountains.

Digging a trench was very easy to some demon tribes that were great at digging.

All the glutinous rice that was sent to the frontline was laid as the boulevard. Apart from the gaps left at the three ravines, the battle front in front of the mountain range was all covered with glutinous rice to prevent the skeletons from piling up and those skeletons at the back from taking advantage of that to climb up.

Mag sat on the griffin and patrolled the basically set Gus Mountains’ line of defense.

Black cannons were set up at the frontline. They numbered to 3000.

The dwarves had supplied the cannons with all their might. It showed the terrifying talent and ability that this race had at forging.

Apart from the cannons, the simplified blasting charges were also continuously sent to the frontline.

There were three types of them:

The super-sized blasting charge could be used to replace the rocks for the catapult. The range was about 1000 to 1500 meters. The dragons and those races who could fly, could also use it to conduct bombing.

The big blasting charge would be hand tossed by the strongmen. Be it the strong trolls or the orcs, they could easily throw it a few hundred meters away. It gave them the capability to conduct long ranged attacks of great lethality.

And, the small blasting charge that was about the size of a fist, was suitable for humans who were relatively weaker, to use as close range defense. Its lethality was limited and its tossing range was about 100 meters.

The advantages of the blasting charges was that it was easy to make and its uses were versatile and flexible. There were 10 designated weapon factories that were responsible for making the blasting charges day and night under the Gus Mountains right now.

The three ravines were the most exaggerated.

The open ravines’ entrances were the only breaches in the Gus Mountains.

The three ravines’ entrances would be easily breached when the Army of the Dead attacked. Then, a meat grinder that was filled with lethal spell formations and traps would be welcoming them.

The allied forces’ top archers and magic casters were stationed at the two sides of the ravine. They would attack the Army of the Dead that entered the ravine and take out the Army of the Dead to the utmost extent.

At the end of the ravine, the allied forces’ strongest combat troops would be stationed there.

As the last line of defense and also the most important line of defense, they would conduct the most intense melee with the powerful Army of the Dead that came straight through the ravines.

This was the set-up of the battlefield.

According to the scouts’ report, the Army of the Dead on the ice sheets had begun to assemble and had a trend of moving towards the Gus Mountains.

However, the intel wasn’t very accurate as the death rate of the scouts began to climb rapidly.

Hence, the Gus Mountains had formally entered into the state of war. The allied forces were prepared to fight at any time while the sappers did the fortifications.

Mag lifted his hand and the virtual screen lit up. A small red dot was slowly moving on it.

Xi had lent him this. The red dot was Cthulhu’s position.

As the chief commander of the allied forces, knowing the whereabouts of the enemy’s leader was equivalent to having a hack.

This would have been the perfect weapon to conduct an assassination if it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t Cthulhu’s match.

You know where it is and you know killing it will end this war.

But you simply can’t kill it…

How infuriating is that?

However, there was one thing he was sure about: Cthulhu was already gathering the Army of the Dead and preparing to head south.

Louis had once led dozens of giant dragons into the ice sheets and attacked the Army of the Dead, but they were attacked by Rankster and Cthulhu instead. After suffering a casualty of 10-odd giant dragons, Mag called it to a stop.

The giant dragons were a very precious air combat force of the allied troops. They couldn’t afford to have severe losses to them before the war.

Right then, a few blasts could be heard coming from the ice sheets. Although they were far away, they could still feel the vibrations on the ground.

All of them instinctively looked at the ice sheets. Although they couldn’t see anything, they didn’t look too surprised. They were already used to the occasional sounds of explosions in the past few days.

Some said it was the magic casters who had gone into the ice sheets to attack the Army of the Dead every now and then.

However, no one knew who it was and whether the news was true.

Mag listened to it seriously. There were 18 blasts in total.

The others might not know, but he knew very well where the blasts came from.

Xi’s battleship had been loitering around the ice sheets in the past few days. With her exact knowledge of Cthulhu’s location, she went in and out of the ice sheets seven times, launching aerial attacks on the Army of the Dead.

According to the feedback that she gave Mag last night, she had exterminated over 100,000 skeleton soldiers. Her results were exemplary.

Of course, Mag was naturally happy about that.

It would have cost the allied forces a high cost to take out the 100,000 skeleton soldiers.

Hence, he began to like Xi more and more.

***

At the end of the center ravine, thousands of demons were digging trenches.

Apparently, the magic casters intended to make a firepit here to give the skeleton soldiers that dashed over here a baptism of fire, before receiving a head-on attack by the allied forces.

Mond threw a chunk of ice backwards and looked at Sargeras as he scratched his head. “Chief, we have been here for a few days and we are digging holes daily. When are we going to fight?”

All the demons in the Burning Legion stopped working and looked at Sargeras.

“What’s the hurry? You’ll have plenty of chances to fight when the Army of the Dead comes.” Sargeras rolled his eyes. He punched the ice in front of him and a two-meter-deep crater appeared. The ice was vaporized by the hot air immediately.

They came to the frontline with the Chaos City’s troops. This was already their third day here and they had been helping to build the reinforcement in the past few days. They hadn’t seen a single skeleton man. Not to mention that Mond and the gang of chaps were bored, even though he was a little tired of it too.

However, as the person-in-charge of the Burning Legion, he couldn’t show it.

“All these things will be taken care of by Alex and the rest. We just need to do what we were told,” Sargeras continued to say.

“Oh.” Mond nodded and dared not to speak further.

“Hehe. Let’s do a good job and we’ll go eat roujiamos at Boss Mag’s place when we get back,” Kiel said laughingly.

The Burning Legion’s eyes lit up when they heard the word ‘roujiamos’ and immediately started to work hard.

Sargeras looked at the purple-striped griffin that was flying slowly in the sky and secretly took out the photostone to record a few images. He wanted to show them to Little Boss when he returned. Perhaps, she would like them.

Sargeras couldn’t help smiling when he thought of the Little Boss. Caressing the little ring that was placed close to his chest, he thought about what he should bring back to give to Little Boss as a gift this time.

Oh yes, the snow fox’s fur on the Gus Mountains was very famous. It shouldn’t go wrong if he could bring one back to Little Boss for her to make into a piece of clothing.
