Chapter 273 Explosion and Flame

Here they come.

Wrapped in corrupted magic and smoke, filled with hatred for the living and magic, it brought the destruction and madness of the Gondor wasteland, and set foot on the pits and minefields of Cecil Land.

They attack really earth-shattering.

At the moment when the alarm sounded, the atmosphere on the city wall instantly became tense. The recruits were equipped with heat ray guns, held up force field shields, and set foot on the city head under the leadership of the commander and veterans to form a defense line. In the sight of , those monsters were roaring frantically, stepping on the plain covered with mines as if they didn't feel any pain. The scene was tragic, shocking, but also frightening.

The Cecil-led Combat Corps has the largest proportion of recruits for any commander. More than 800 of the 1,000-strong corps were recruited after the first defense battle. Excellent equipment and complete training, but no matter how good the training of recruits is, they are recruits. They have never experienced the pressure of the battlefield, and there will always be insurmountable obstacles between them and the veterans. In order to reduce the negative impact in this regard, Gawain has tried his best to The training ratio of new recruits has been greatly increased, and they are sent to the depths of the jungle to protect the expedition team and fight against monsters. They are sent into the mountains for training, and they are even sent to the northern wasteland and the surrounding areas of Kant to eliminate bandits and those who take advantage of Kant's leadership. The desperate mercenaries gathered in chaos, relying on this method, he barely ensured that everyone in the Cecil Combat Corps had shot and seen blood, and it was considered that the recruits in the Corps grew up, but they still only passed. Today's test can be regarded as truly passing the recruit period.

After today, even if they are still not experienced veterans, at least they have completely taken off the hat of recruits.

The blood-colored smoke gushing out of the gap in the mountain is becoming more and more, and gradually forming a blood-colored cloud with amazing momentum, and the aberrations gushing out from the cloud are rushing towards the southern city wall of Cecil Land—a living person The aura and the ubiquitous magical reaction in the city are lights in the night for these monsters. As soon as they rush out of the mountains, they rush over with a clear goal. Even if there is an exploding minefield in front of them, they do not hesitate.

Landmines are a good thing, and Gawain has always believed in this, especially when dealing with mindless monsters. No matter how many landmines are buried on the battlefield, these single-strand monsters will rush up without hesitation, and then make a straight line. The ground swept the entire mine array - but it turned out that the easy-to-use mines could not completely solve the threat of aberrations, because the physical fitness of those monsters was too strong, and the "physiological structure" was too strange.

A crystal mine can completely blow up the lower body of a monster, but they will not die or retreat in fear in the face of such injuries. Instead, they will continue to crawl forward with the remaining upper body until they touch the second or even third. They will only be completely killed after a mine, so although the efficiency of these monsters stepping on mines is fast, at the same time, the efficiency of using their bodies to "clear mines" is really amazing.

In the continuous explosion of thunder, the blood-colored cloud front is rapidly approaching the city wall. The soldiers on the watchtower can already see the horrible scene of the front-end monster spiraling in the air and landing in the air through the telescope. After the special wooden stake with flags was also shrouded in the filthy magic tide, the second alarm sounded, and the full-hearted voice of the Byron Knight resounded throughout the city wall: "The enemy enters the position, the trebuchet is ready to drop the bomb. !"

Accompanied by the "boom" sound of the winch loosening, the specially-made small catapult started to operate, and the crystal bombs the size of heads swept through long arcs in the air and fell into the unknown black and red in the distance. On the battlefield shrouded in smoke, in the next second, continuous and even more amazing explosions exploded on the battlefield. The grand flashes and thunderous flames seemed to shred the cloud of smoke and dust, and rolled up among the monsters. Storms of shrapnel and heat flow come in bursts.

"Retract the winch and continue to drop bombs!"

"Keep dropping bombs - Balto, retract the winch, keep dropping bombs!!"

The roar of his comrades awakened Balto from his stupor. The knight of the Typhon Empire felt his heart pounding, and blood was pumping in his chest. On the plain covered by flames, there was only one thought in my mind at the moment: This is the battlefield they are facing?

Balto performed the action subconsciously. It was not difficult to control the trebuchet, and it was not a problem for the knight with amazing physical strength to roll the winch. However, in the process of subconsciously tightening the winch and relocating the crystal bomb, he felt his own The brain has been somewhat out of control, and a numbness is slowly coming to his mind.

This is not the same as the battlefield he imagined! It is not the same as the battlefield he has experienced!

He is the elite of Typhon, a knight who has experienced many battles. He is not a new recruit, nor is he a country militiaman who has never seen the world. On the border between Ansu and Typhon, he and the soldiers he led have experienced Various crises, although the two countries have not yet officially started war, the private friction between the two sides has escalated to the stage of seeing blood at the edge. On those small battlefields that are not recognized by both sides, he has faced the sword and added himself He has also killed the enemy, but there is no battlefield like what he saw——

The two sides were separated by hundreds of meters, and the battle had already started. Blood and fire, thunder and explosions shrouded the entire battlefield. Those unknown monsters charged without fear of death in the explosion, while the soldiers defending the city kept sending more and more Thunder and explosions spilled on the enemy.

It's not even time to draw the sword.

Of course, there are battle mages in this world, and mages also create things like thunder, flames, arcane missiles and the like to attack enemies from a distance, but how many battle mages can there be on a battlefield? How many times can a War Mage cast such a powerful spell?

Here, Pyroblast-level spells can cover the entire battlefield!

Balto once imagined himself being pushed up the city wall by the Ansu people to participate in the battle of defending the city: behind him stood the supervising team, while he and his fellow Typhons held swords in front of him as a shield wall. After being beheaded by the supervising team and seeking a chance on the battlefield, he never thought that he would operate a trebuchet here - let alone that the "stones" thrown by these trebuchets turned out to be such terrifying things!

Barto suddenly remembered the experience of accidentally slipping his hand while carrying those crystal bombs in the afternoon and dropping a few "iron balls" on the wall tiles. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He didn't know that those iron balls actually had quite reliable safety devices, and they were controlled by rune triggers, machine springs and locking mechanisms, rather than simply "exploding at one touch". Only when the copper pins on the balls are pulled out will they have the ability to explode, and only with a strong impact from the trebuchet to the ground will the trigger inside be released and detonated...

The second round of crystal bombs was thrown by the trebuchet, causing a new round of explosions among the monsters. At this time, those monsters had already traversed half of the battlefield with their powerful inhuman bodies, and sometimes their physical fitness was like this. Unreasonable: they don't have any command and tactics, but they can advance all the way with "recklessness". In the face of such an enemy, apart from the number of people, human beings can only rely on wisdom and strength.

Solderin pulled the longbow, and the front end of the longbow rolled up a whirlwind of light green magic power. The three feathered arrows on the bowstring were immediately blessed by magic power, and filled with a crystal-like luster. The arrow pierced the air with a sharp howl, and after a while, the three monsters on the battlefield were directly blown into debris.

An arrow from a high-level ranger is no less powerful than a crystal bomb.

Soldering didn't pay attention to the result after he opened the bow at all, and just continued to draw, open, and shoot in silence.

These monsters are the same as 700 years ago, but old friends seem to have tinkered with a lot of new things that are different from those of the past - those explosive "slings" and traps are quite powerful, and if intermediate or even high-level professionals are caught I'm afraid this kind of thing will not survive a concentrated attack. After this battle, maybe I should ask an old friend to find out how these powerful weapons work - but the premise is that he can keep his position and let this The territory must withstand this wave of monsters' offensive.

The "blood front" wrapped by the monsters continued to fade as they advanced, but they still gradually approached the city wall. After the second mark was covered by the enemy, a new order was conveyed to the soldiers' ears:

"Grenadiers ready-"

The soldiers on the city wall immediately stepped forward under the order. Baskets of crystal grenades were already prepared behind the wall stacks. At this moment, the initial tension and fear had gradually become numb. Obedience to the order became the deepest instinct of these soldiers. They took out the grenades. , open the insurance, just waiting for the commander's order.

"bomb!"

With the blessing of the ten-meter-high city wall, the throwing distance of these grenades has been greatly enhanced, and the dense explosions covered the heads of those monsters who were lucky enough to walk through the minefields and catapult bombing areas after a while.

Gawain stood on the high city wall, watching the tide of monster attack gradually thinning and becoming weak in round after round of firepower, this wave of aberrations was not close enough to release corrosive energy arrows. The distance was reduced by only 20%, and there was no doubt that they would fall at the foot of the newly built city walls in the territory.

However, he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, because the "large individuals" mentioned in the report had not yet entered the battlefield, and the monsters attacking at this moment were only half of the reported number.

His eyes were fixed on the center of the battlefield. At the edge of the catapult's range, several striking dark red clouds were stirring up. There were several huge and astonishing figures hidden in the clouds, and behind those clouds, The remaining aberrations are pouring out of the mountain pass, gathering into a new wave of offensive.

As the first wave of aberrations was wiped out by grenadiers and intense scorching rays, those huge figures finally moved.
