1561 Toys Become Prey
The dense cluster bombs destroyed the entire valley, and the earth-shaking explosions continued, like a grand firework show, with no end in sight for a long time.
Adair looked at the explosion in front of him, which was enough to cause heavy losses to the most powerful dragon army, but there was no joy in his eyes.
Because he has seen too many scenes like this recently, and before each attack, he will witness such covering shelling with his own eyes.
At that time, he would be full of confidence in such shelling every time. In his cognition, no one could resist such an attack head-on.
But it is a pity that his cognition was soon overturned-although the shelling of the Alan Hill Empire was fierce, the watchman's army was always able to make up for its losses, and once again fought with Alan Hill The armies of the Empire are entangled.
Over time, he has become numb, no matter how fierce the artillery fire in front of him, he has no joy.
So Adair just routinely overlooked the battlefield, waiting for the enemy army that was about to rush up.
When he saw a magnificent cloud rising from a distance, he knew that today's battle might not be fought.
Of course, it is impossible for General Andre to watch the opponent gather troops and continue to attack. Delaying the opponent's attack is an inevitable choice.
In the hands of the Alan Hill Empire, there are not many cheap and powerful weapons that can block the opponent's attacking troops and consume the opponent's vitality, but nuclear weapons are definitely one of them!
In the past, for the sake of environmental protection, the Alan Hill Empire was more willing to use bombing in space to achieve an effect similar to a nuclear strike.
But now, the Alan Hill Empire has lost partial air supremacy in outer space, so nuclear weapons have become the best choice.
Andre has many nuclear weapons in his hands, and he has been using them as safely as possible before.
Under normal circumstances, his strike point is close to the opponent's core landing field, which will have less impact on his own side and facilitate future counterattack arrangements.
However, as Adair's several counterattacks failed, Andre also had a new understanding of the means by which the watchmen destroyed everything. killed the enemy.
Once the thinking goes back to the far point, there will be more choices-Andre began to drop nuclear weapons dozens of kilometers in front of his own position, so that he can wipe out a large number of watchmen troops that are gathering.
Adair looked at the huge mushroom-shaped clouds tumbling and rising in the distance, and was stimulated by the strong light to narrow his eyes.
That is really a spectacular sight, a spectacular sight that can be easily watched from a distance of hundreds of kilometers!
The tremors of the earth came almost at the same time, and then came the strong wind blowing towards the face, and finally, the dull sound that seemed to be suppressed by something came rolling in the sky.
"I actually don't like nuclear weapons. It makes war boring." Adair's eyes had adapted to the light, and he said to the human magician beside him.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued to add: "But sometimes I also like this thing, it can eliminate thousands of enemies without any effort.
"
"You call this 'effortless effort'?" the human magician glanced at Adair and joked.
"Hahahaha! At least when launching it, it can be said to be effortless." Adair laughed loudly.
The rocket artillery covering fire in front of him has stopped, and the explosion of cluster bombs has been replaced by a loud rumble in the distance.
There are bomb craters emitting light smoke everywhere, and the vegetation that used to cover the valley was completely invisible now.
The branches of the only remaining trees are covered with shrapnel. If you grab a handful of soil here, you may find steel balls or shell fragments of shells in it.
For the cleaners, maybe grabbing a handful of soil here can be eaten as fried rice.
The Sweeper soldiers who originally wanted to attack the Alan Hill Empire's positions were scattered around the craters at this moment.
They lay there silently, some had only arms, some had only legs, some had bodies but no legs, some had arms and legs, but their heads were missing.
In short, there are corpses everywhere, the corpses of the sweepers who are dissipating everywhere, and of course there are some remains of the destroyers scattered among the corpses of the sweepers. Their huge bodies are not complete, and they look even more tragic .
"Chirp..." In the silence, a black energy line shot by a conqueror warrior appeared on the battlefield, directly hitting a scrapped position and kicking up the dirt in front of the position.
In the next second, countless sweepers jumped out of the crater from the reverse slope from various places, and rushed towards the defense position of the Alan Hill Empire while firing.
Behind them, more sweepers rushed out of the dense forest, out of their hiding place, and began to run in the direction of the Ellandhill Empire's position.
"Squeak..." In the middle of the unmanned automatic turret on the Alan Hill position, the integrated spherical photoelectric detector turret responded immediately and aimed at the direction of the enemy's charge.
In the next second, the quadruple cannons on both sides of the turret cheered up from the relaxed state of standby, and the four barrels instantly aimed at the distant enemy.
"Tudg..." A series of tracer bullets spewed out from the fort, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and smashed into the crowd of attacking sweepers.
A running sweeper was hit by a shell that hit suddenly, and one arm was directly blown away by the shell, drawing a parabola in the air and falling not far away.
The shot sweeper didn't even have time to let out an ugly scream, and his whole body was pushed heavily to the ground.
That was a 30mm cannon, which was originally used for local air defense, but now it was used to straf the ground, which was naturally extremely cruel.
"Squeak..." The heavily protected anti-aircraft gun slightly adjusted its shooting position, and then fired again, firing a series of shells.
In the direction of its strafing, the attacking sweepers were instantly suppressed, and they could only hide and hide, unable to move forward at all.
A streak of black energy hit the thick concrete in front of the anti-aircraft gun, leaving a melted hole in it.
"Boom!" At this time, a battle defense artillery on the flank of the position opened fire. This thing is an antique, and it is rare in the regular troops of the Alan Hill Empire.
This thing was originally eliminated, but many magic empires that included the Alan Hill Empire were equipped with this weapon.
Originally, the military wanted to recast these weapons, but the subsequent large-scale military expansion had to allow these old-fashioned equipment to be used again and again.
A small number of anti-aircraft guns were assigned to the puppet robot infantry division as heavy firepower to be used as support artillery.
However, due to the relationship between ammunition, these anti-tank guns can only be used as anti-tank guns in the army in the end.
After all, a miracle happened. As the Alan Hill Empire began to make full preparations for war, the anti-aircraft guns were sent to the front line along with these puppet troops, deployed on the line of defense, serving as firepower points, and became the pillar of the line of defense.
Anyway, something is always better than nothing, and no one has the energy to toss these outdated anti-aircraft guns. Eventually these weapons were stacked in fixed trenches and used as anti-tank weapons before the shells were fired.
Frankly speaking... this thing is really not easy to use. Facing the Watcher's troops, it is no different from a suicide weapon.
After the puppet robot aimed at the target, it fired a shot. At a distance of less than 300 meters, the shell of this anti-aircraft gun directly hit a Destroyer tank that was climbing over the corpse.
The shell pierced through the shell of the Destroyer tank from the oblique side, paralyzing the Watcher's tank there, and began to billow thick smoke.
This thick smoke comes from the magical energy that has begun to go out of control. The destroyed Destroyer Tank will also explode. The unstable magical energy explodes, which is not much worse than the explosion of ammunition.
Just behind the Destroyer tank that was emitting thick smoke, several Destroyer tanks rushed out, and one of them had already aimed its energy cannon at the position of the puppet robot that had just fired.
And on the exposed battle defense gun position, a puppet robot was holding the shell and pushing the shell into the warm barrel.
Beside it, another puppet quickly closed the breech breech, and in front of it, the puppet responsible for adjusting the firing angle of the cannon had already begun to shake the handle vigorously to point the cannon at the next target.
"Boom!" In the distance, the Destroyer tank fired an energy shell, and the black energy began to fly towards the target 300 meters away.
At the same time, the puppet robot gunner who had aimed at the target also rang the matchlock of the cannon, and the firing pin in the barrel hit the primer at the tail of the cannonball, igniting the propellant in the cannonball.
"Boom!" There was also a cannon sound, and a sharp anti-tank artillery shell was wrapped in the tumbling air wave, flew out of the muzzle, and rushed straight to the new target in the distance.
The energy shell hit the shield of the anti-aircraft gun, and the explosion instantly destroyed the entire artillery position. The broken limbs of the puppet were blown everywhere by the shock wave, and the barrel of the artillery broke away from the gun mount and rolled to the other side of the trench.
At the same time, at the joint between the energy cannon and the body of the Destroyer tank that fired, an armor-piercing bullet sank into the gap with an indomitable momentum, detonating the energy inside.
The Destroyer exploded in an instant, and was engulfed by the flames of the explosion together with the paralyzed fellow beside it, turning into two burning wreckages.
Around, the charging sweepers didn't even look at these destroyed companions, they still charged forward, trying to get close to the defensive positions of the Alan Hill Empire.
And the condescending anti-aircraft gun turret started to fire again, and a series of tracer bullets sprinkled on the battlefield full of bullet craters, bringing up a fog of blood.
Adair also didn't expect that the opponent would dare to attack brazenly when he was hit by a nuclear weapon in the rear.
He also didn't expect that the opponent would still have the courage and strength to attack like crazy after eating a nuclear bomb.
Therefore, looking at the battlefield that suddenly became lively and the battle that erupted out of nowhere, Adair was a little dazed.
"Thug Thut!" Finally, near the place where he was standing, the unique sound of the electromagnetic machine gun firing brought him back to reality, and he saw that the magician who had just stood beside him was already on the position in front of him. Cut down a rushing sweeper.
"These guards know how to change their tactics... they suddenly became smart..." Adair muttered softly, holding his long sword, he also jumped out of the trench and rushed towards a mighty man in the distance. Conqueror Warrior.
Behind Adair, behind a grenadier wearing heavy armor, small drones spread out, and seven or eight drones rushed towards the distance together buzzing.
These drones that automatically find targets and attack are like small missiles. They don't rely on power to kill the enemy, they rely on attack accuracy to win.
Sophisticated guidance components allow them to hit moving targets more accurately, and compared to cluster bombs, they can ensure that an enemy is completely wiped out in one attack.
Soon, these palm-sized small drones found the enemy to attack, and they began to dive one after another, as if they were miniature versions of dive bombers.
Except these super tiny dive bombers don't drop bombs, because they're a bomb themselves!
A sweeper who was firing energy bombs at the defense line of the Alan Hill Empire seemed to realize something. He suddenly raised his head, and saw a black shadow above his head, swooping down at an extremely fast speed, and he was close at hand in an instant. in front of you.
"Boom!" Before he could make any evasive movements, the swooping black shadow exploded in front of his face.
After the gorgeous flames flickered, a headless sweeper corpse staggered and fell on top of the disappearing companion's corpse at its feet.
At the same time, beside the fallen Sweeper, another Sweeper was also hit by the swooping drone and became a bloody mass in the explosion.
In the midst of these explosions, Adair slashed with his long sword at the energy barrier of the firing Conqueror, splashing sparks.
The conqueror knew that a strong enemy was coming, so he didn't hold back, but retreated while defending.
And not far from the two wings, the other conquerors, who had not opened fire, had already moved towards Adair's direction.
"Clang!" A flying sword passed by one of the conquerors who wanted to reinforce his companions. A swordsman in a white sword robe stepped on the top of a mountain piled up with the corpses of sweepers, looking at his own body. The target looked cold.
In front of the conqueror on the other side, three magic circles behind a human magician had already lit up, and the wind on the battlefield began to become icy cold.
"Are you going to save your comrades? Then you have to pass my level first!" the white-robed swordsman said coldly.
"You still have the mood to care about other people? You are dead! Bastard!" On the other side, the magician lit up his hands with magic, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Three people in different positions on the battlefield shot almost at the same time.
Flame wrapped around Adair's long sword, and the edge of the sword became invincible. He swung the long sword and strode forward, passing the opponent one by one, and chopped off one of the opponent's arms.
The conqueror turned his head back with difficulty, and then rushed towards Adair again. Adair smiled and waved his long sword to meet the opponent and stepped forward again. In a blink of an eye, the conqueror's head flew into the air.
The swordsman in white wrapped around his flying sword with golden energy, and the flying sword cut into the energy barrier like a hot knife cutting into cheese, and hit the conqueror inside.
The opponent let out a shrill scream, and at the same time shot out a straight black energy ray. The white-robed swordsman didn't hold back, and after avoiding the energy, he shot again and pierced the opponent's body with his flying sword.
The magician struck three lightning strikes on the conqueror's defensive barrier, and then the huge ice cone shot down vertically like Mount Tai, hitting the crumbling energy barrier.
When the dying conqueror struggled to stand up from the shattered ice, the magician was already standing in front of him, a flame ignited the conqueror's body, and the screams immediately echoed over the entire battlefield.
The remaining conquerors on the battlefield saw this scene and seemed to realize that they could no longer penetrate the opponent's defense line.
They turned and backed away, as if they had attacked without warning. The swarming sweepers also began to retreat, and the Destroyers who were covering them also stopped advancing, and began to slowly back away.
The fierce battle came to an abrupt end, and after the sporadic gunfire ended, everything returned to calm.
Today's fight may be over, but an hour later, or a few hours later, or a night later, it will begin again.
This is something that all the soldiers standing on the surface defense line of Higgs 5 are used to. Everyone knows very well that the enemy may make a comeback at any time.
...
In the universe, inside a World Destroyer battleship as large as a planet, Sorens listened anxiously to his subordinates, talking about various problems that made him very dissatisfied throughout the war.
Originally, he didn't bother to participate in such a boring meeting, but recently a series of problems occurred in the offense, which directly led to the bankruptcy of his offensive plan.
The original plan was to capture Higgs 5 within a few days, and then attack Higgs 3 and Higgs 4 at the same time.
But now, nearly a month has passed, and the battle situation on the surface of Higgs 5 is still stalemate, and the watchman troops have not even fully established their own advantages.
When such a thing happened, Saurons was furious - before he didn't pay attention to the Alan Hill Empire at all, now it seems that this is definitely his arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.
A voice came from the darkness, without a trace of emotion, this voice briefly introduced the army composition of the Alan Hill Empire: "The enemy's troops are obviously divided into many levels, and the most primitive troops are the ones used to Consume the magic puppet troops of our army, these troops are relatively weak in combat effectiveness and are easy to be attacked."
"But there are a lot of them. Under normal circumstances, they can consume our army's attacking troops and slow down our attacking speed." The voice echoed in the darkness, and some faint shadows shook slightly, as if they were listening to his voice.
"The second type of troops is the core force of their troops. They are huge in number and wear special armor powered by magic energy. They have high combat effectiveness. One can eliminate several sweepers, which is very troublesome." Afterwards, the voice continued Started the introduction.
When this was mentioned, several black shadows obviously began to communicate in low voices. They were the watchman commanders who were in charge of directing ground operations. Of course they knew about those damned opponents.
These opponents have strange marks on their foreheads, and they are all brave and fearless, they are simply the most heroic fighters.
Even if they die, they will complete the task, they will not flinch or escape, they are more flexible and smarter than robots, and at the same time possess the bravery and tenacity of robots, they are simply a nightmare for opponents!
Speaking of this, the voice of the introduction was obviously a little excited: "But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most difficult thing is that the elite troops they invested in, the fighting power of those elite troops even surpassed that of the conquerors, and they often used short assaults to attack Through our defenses."
"Before in the area where the battle was most frequent, the opponent invested a large number of elite troops, penetrated our defense line, and advanced hundreds of kilometers." The voice stopped here, as if waiting for others to add generally.
Another voice came up after a moment of silence, a little grumpy: "A few hours ago... I'm really not used to using their units of measurement to describe time and distance! Okay, okay! I'll get used to it... a few hours Before, they used atomic weapons again... Our offensive was once again suspended."
Hearing what the companion said, another voice followed: "The other party is a composite civilization. There is no doubt about it. They consume the precious mana resources in the universe and develop atomic weapons, using atomic energy... "
Such an opponent deserves their attention, because the loss is real, and the intuitive data that can best reflect the opponent's strength - in the battle to wipe out the Heavenly Sword God Sect, until the end, the watchman did not lose so many troops.
Although the loss of the army is just a number to the guards in a sense, but if the loss is too much, it will still bring a little bit of unhappiness to the guards who are bursting with self-esteem.
"Although atomic weapons are not more powerful than energy weapons in the universe, so our warships are sufficient to deal with them, but...on the ground, our soldiers become vulnerable." The voice continued with some discomfort.
"Once the enemy uses atomic weapons, our losses will skyrocket... This has already cost us a large number of Sweeper soldiers." A watchman commander who seemed to have fought against a civilization with atomic weapons said.
"This kind of mixed civilization is definitely more difficult than the pure civilizations we encountered before, that's for sure." Sorens found a way for his arrogance.
He paused for a moment, then continued: "So we can no longer treat each other as a toy in arrogance. At least this is a hunt, and the prey may hurt the hunter!"
