No feeling

  I don't have any feeling tonight, I wrote a chapter, but I feel like I don't know what I'm writing about, so I'll just update it tomorrow morning. To prove that I'm not talking nonsense, I'll post the trash I wrote too. The Thunder Cliff of Elan is preparing for battle, while the frontline battle of Carthage has already reached its peak. The Caesar Legion and the Carthaginian army have deployed their troops and are engaging in extremely fierce battles around the five fortresses in the south every day.

  A deluge of catapult stones crashes down, overloading the mighty fortress shields. Warriors on the battlefield are like ants, carrying all sorts of siege weapons onto the walls and engaging in fierce battles with the defenders. But once the mages of the fortress restore their magical defenses, these warriors who had barely managed to climb onto the walls have no choice but to retreat, or else they will be killed by the counterattacking Carthaginian soldiers on the city walls.

  Because both sides were well-prepared, the battle could only be conducted in such a rigid manner. Caesar also tried to use the initial approach, bypassing these five fortresses and directly attacking their hinterland, cutting off the supply lines of the fortresses. However, it was clear that the same trick could not be used twice against Carthage.

  They also set up a defensive line near the fortress to ensure that the fortress could obtain enough magic crystals and proper reinforcements, once Caesar's legions entered too deep. The legion in the fortress would even take the initiative to attack, and together with the legion that withstood Caesar's legion's offensive, they would annihilate it.

  Both sides committed large numbers of troops to the front lines, with a continuous line of battle surrounding five fortresses. Nearly twenty legions were involved in the fighting, and 280,000 men were deployed in this war. And that was just the number of soldiers, while the laborers for transportation and logistics or farmers were tens of times more than that of the soldiers.

  "The battle for today is over." The warrior, covered in blood and with some wounds on his arm, looked at the Maro warriors who had already retreated to their distant camp and said indifferently, leaning against the city wall: "It's already evening, and dinner will be served soon."

  "Yeah." The warrior's companion sat down beside him with some difficulty and said, "Just now some bastard hit me in the back with a hammer. It really hurts to death. By the way... after fighting for so long, how did you only get lightly injured? You didn't seem like such a good fighter usually."

  "Haha." The warrior looked at his comrade and smiled, saying: "Maybe it's because my opponents are all idiots. I'd like to get injured like you, that way I can leave the front lines and go somewhere inside to recover. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll even be able to return to the rear lines."

  "If the captain hears what you said, he'll pull you out again." The warrior's companion pushed him and said, "Right, Eli. How did you manage to get the captain last time? He chased you all around the fortress."

  "I ate his meat." Eri said with no guilt and some pride: "That was the only beef he got this week, when he came back he almost went crazy. Hahaha..."

  "It seems you're still quite proud." A cold voice sounded beside Airi, a short-haired young man who had appeared at some unknown time said: "Are you going to let me whip you a few more times? Otherwise, I think you won't realize just how serious the thing you've done is!"

  "Wahhh... Xide, how come you're walking without making a sound?!" Eli, who was startled, shouted: "It's just a piece of beef! We've eaten it before in the village. At worst, I'll return it to you later, you're so petty!"

  "Call me Captain, you scoundrel! Is that all just one piece of beef?" The young man called Shide grabbed Eri's ear and lifted him up from the ground, saying viciously: "That was my only share of meat for two months! And it was only because I got injured, the quartermaster gave me a special ration! Are you going to let this guy eat it all?"

  "Alright, alright." Eri's companion struggled to get up and said with a smile while looking at Eri who was being held by the ears and showing his teeth: "Captain, just let him off this time. Who knows, next time when supplies arrive, he might bring some meat too. Besides, you two are from the same village, there will be plenty of chances to settle scores after the war is over."

  "Klaud, are you injured?" The young man looked at the warrior's awkward movements and said: "After dinner, I'll give you a certificate to let you rest inside for a while. In your current state, you can't participate in tomorrow's battle."

  "I'm fine." Claude shook his head and said, "It's just a bit sore on my back. I'll drink some medicine and rest for the night, that should be enough, it shouldn't have hurt any bones."

  "It's better to go see a pastor, after all some things can't be explained." Xi De said: "If you drink medicine randomly and your bones grow into strange shapes, then you'll have to break them again to regrow. Let's go, the meal is already ready."

  …………………

  At this time, in the central castle of the fortress, the mages were still busy. A huge square array in the room where the mages were located emitted a faint blue light that illuminated the entire room.

  "How's it going? How much longer can the 22nd node hold up?" An old monk wearing a golden embroidered robe asked a middle-aged monk who had just finished inspecting the formation: "What is the magic intensity of the 17th Lyra? If it's less than 20, replace the magic crystal. Otherwise, tomorrow's magic circulation will be blocked."

  "The 22nd node has been replaced with a new host, and all other places have been checked and are safe values." The interrogated mage said: "However, our magic crystal is being consumed too quickly. If this continues, we may not be able to support the arrival of the next supply team, which would be very troublesome."

  "In this case, I will report to the legion commander." The old master thought for a moment and said: "Let's see if we can get the supply team to pick up here. You can adjust the number of nodes in the magic array now, and make some unimportant places' shields thinner. In that way, we can hold on for a little longer."

  "I'll do my best." The middle-aged law master said with some difficulty: "If it really doesn't work, I will let the law master join the law array to adjust the magic in real time. How is the attachment class doing? Today's traps on the wall were all eliminated, and it would be best if they could repair those places tomorrow."

  "Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it," said the old master.

  "I really don't know when this war will end." The middle-aged mage sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "I didn't learn magic for the sake of war."
