For the Dark Elf soldiers and Europa soldiers who never got much rest, continuous high-intensity marching was simply hell.

But fortunately, this hell can at least come to an end.

Looking at the decent fortress in front of him, even Delk felt a sense of relief.

"finally reached……"

Leaving the minimum number of soldiers on duty, after Delk led the army into the fortress, the first thing they did was to rest. They were so tired that they didn't even want to eat, and just wanted to fall asleep.

On the other side, the foreign troops who obviously did not know that Delk had led the army and arrived directly at the fortress as quickly as possible were undoubtedly continuing their strategy.

The advantage of this strategy is that they can still use it even if they don't know what the enemy's situation is.

But on the contrary, this is also a weakness.

The foreign coalition forces, who didn't know that the dark elves had already entered the fortress, would undoubtedly play tricks on the air with their next series of operations.

And during this entire process, it will inevitably slow down their marching efficiency to a certain extent.

It can only be said that the level of investigation ability determines who of them will suffer the big loss.

On the other side, inside the fortress, Delk had a peaceful sleep and asked the soldiers to wake him up at nine o'clock in the morning.

If he continued to sleep, depending on the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days, he might be able to sleep until dark.

But anyone with some experience knows that sleeping like this does not actually have a very good effect on fatigue recovery.

Many times, sleeping for too long will make you feel more tired when you wake up.

So forcefully wake up, eat something, then start working, and then continue to sleep at night. This kind of recovery effect is better.

A night's rest allowed the morale of the dark elves army to recover after a long journey, at least now it has returned to the qualified line.

Next, although the food situation was relatively tight, Delk obviously had no intention of saving on this meal.

They couldn't stand it any longer.

In other words, the battle a few days later is inevitable.

So what they need to do now is to restore the condition of their soldiers as much as possible, as much as they can!

"How is the magic power of the mages recovering?"

Although mages tend to be auxiliary professions in the army of the dark elves, no one can deny that they still occupy a pivotal position.

Once the war begins, if they can obtain magical support, it will significantly help the entire battle situation.

However, it is well known how slow the natural recovery rate of mana is.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the continuous retreat, even if the dark elf mages finally recovered a little mana, they would soon use it to escape the pursuit of the foreign coalition forces.

This makes it difficult for them to accumulate mana.

But in recent times, this consumption situation has been basically avoided.

During the retreat, the mages who were physically weak were transported in transport vehicles throughout the entire process.

Although the car was bumpy, there was no problem for the experienced mage to meditate and recover in the car. Logically speaking, he should have recovered somewhat after this trip. This was the main reason why Delk asked this question.

"Reporting to the general, my subordinates have just confirmed that the mana recovery status of the junior mages can basically support them to cast three first-level spells, and those intermediate mages with deeper cultivation are already capable of casting second-level spells.

It’s a level 3 spell, but it’s still very difficult to cast a level 3 spell.”

Delk nodded after confirming the situation.

There is nothing they can do about it. After all, time is limited. If they fight again after a year and a half, they will definitely recover better, but the problem is that it is impossible.

Originally, if there were magic crystals, it would be able to speed up the mana recovery speed of the dark elf mages. However, the Marauder Ballista also had to consume magic crystals. All the magic crystals in their army had been used up in the previous battle.

used up……

At this moment, there is quite a feeling of the end of the road.

"Go on, please tell me that during this period, no one is allowed to disturb the mage troops' meditation, and let them recover with all their strength!"

"yes!"

After finishing one thing, Delk walked outside and began to confirm some of the defenses in the fortress.

Not to mention the outer trench barriers, the defensive artillery of the human army is also fixed on each fort of the fortress. At the same time, the warehouse is also filled with ammunition. Judging from the quantity, it can support an army of at least three soldiers.

consumption for more than one month.

This makes Delk basically not have to worry about the ammunition of the human race. In comparison, whether they can survive the offensive of the foreign coalition army for another three months is a question...

"Colonel, can you arrange all the cannons we brought here on the fort?"

At this moment, the human colonel standing in front of Delk is basically the highest-ranking officer in the Europa army. During battles, the Europa troops are also commanded by this colonel.

After all, Delk only knew some things about the human army, but if he really wanted to take command, he would definitely not be more familiar with it than the human army's own officers.

Now back to the topic, before Delk made this proposal, the Europa colonel had undoubtedly gone to the area where the fort was equipped with forts and looked at it. Now faced with this question, just listen to his quick answer...

"General, the location and number of forts on the fortress have been carefully arranged. Basically, they have reached the optimal configuration."

Having said this, the Europa colonel took a breath and then spoke again...

"If we increase the number of defensive artillery, I am afraid that the area above will become a little crowded, which will easily lead to lower operational efficiency. At the same time, once the battle situation becomes chaotic, there is a high possibility that operational errors will occur above."

Delk frowned slightly when he heard this...

"So, we can no longer add defensive firepower, right?"

"That's not the case."

As he spoke, the Europa colonel took a few steps outside, and Delk followed subconsciously.

After walking to the trench area, Colonel Europa pointed to an area and made some gestures...

"In fact, we can choose to transform this barrier, flatten this layer, put the defensive cannon at the back, open up here, and let the gun barrel extend. Although it is difficult to aim and the price/performance ratio is not high, it is

It can still form an effective fire strike to a certain extent against enemies charging forward."

"But the trouble now is that a transformation like this, even if it is rough, will probably take several days. If the enemy comes over halfway through the transformation, it will be troublesome."

Delk can undoubtedly understand Colonel Europa's concerns, but in the current situation, for stronger defensive firepower, this risk is still worth taking!

"Colonel, I think it is necessary to give it a try. I will leave the transformation to you!"
Chapter completed!
