Chapter 1137 The Banished High-Level Enemy

Fertile plain, front edge of Tower 9 site.

"The target is six degrees and four minutes northeast, distance 6500, area side, apply for artillery coverage."

Sylvie lay on Maisie's back, looking down at the ground not far ahead. Many turfs on the ground showed signs of being overturned, and the scattered soil was still very fresh. It probably happened in the last two or three days. .

"It has been relayed." A brief reply came from Savi from the other side of the listening talisman, "The bombardment will begin in five minutes." At the end, she added, "Please pay attention to safety."

Sylvie couldn't help but look in the direction of Tachira. From this height, she could already capture the location of the ruins of the Holy City with her naked eyes. Although it was still more than fifty kilometers away and looked smaller than a fingernail, it gave her a feeling of being close at hand. The crumbling outline of the city blends with the woods like a forgotten miniature sculpture.

Although it was beyond the observation range of the magic eye, she could still feel a shining red star twinkling. As long as it doesn't move, it means they are still in a safe situation for the time being.

"Ok, I know."

She put away the talisman and patted Maisie's broad back, "Let's fly higher."

"Ouch!"

Maisie, who transformed into a beast, let out a loud roar, spread out her giant wings of nearly ten meters and flew into the wind. Now she is almost the size of two ordinary beasts. She can be called a giant among the beasts. Even compared to It was even better than the mutant that Cabradabi controlled. But thinking that she was still a giant among pigeons after becoming a pigeon, Sylvie felt relieved.

After climbing about a hundred meters, there was a dull sound of thunder behind me.

Then several dust pillars suddenly rose up from the ground in front of her. Ripples could be clearly seen around the pillars. Grass clippings flew everywhere where they touched, as if the solid land turned into sparkling water. No matter how many times you watch it, this scene is always pleasing to the eye.

Then came the second and third rounds of thunder

The calibrated artillery battalion has been able to accurately fire artillery shells into the area marked by it. Because it is difficult to specifically measure the area of ​​the strike area in the air, a rough estimate is usually used instead, and one square is equivalent to the size of the Neverwinter Castle area. , about 16,400 square meters, is also one of the places she is most familiar with.

Under the cover of artillery fire, it didn't take long for Sylvie to see the stumps flying out along with the dust pillars.

A 152mm grenade is enough to create a crater about one meter deep, but the devil's lurking depth will not exceed fifty centimeters, and this is on land corroded by red mist. If it were an ordinary ground, it would only barely cover the head. If a shell happened to fall on the head, not even a complete body would be left behind.

Of course, it is not necessary for the grenade to hit accurately to kill the devil. The shock waves that bloom in circles are the real killer, especially for targets buried underground. The body's tight fit with the soil means there is no buffer, and any impact within twenty meters of the explosion will be fatal.

This style of play that does not pay attention to the specific location of the enemy, but instead blasts the entire area head-on, is what His Majesty calls ground-washing.

After five rounds of shelling, hundreds of ambushed devils crawled out of the soil and began to flee backwards.

"The enemy has appeared and is determined to be a madman. Please shoot from the original angle." Sylvie Hui reported.

"receive."

Suddenly, she seemed to feel something. She raised her head and looked towards Tachira. The red star suddenly became much brighter and flew towards the position quickly.

She immediately took out another listening talisman and said, "Lightning, come quickly! The demon slayer is in action!"

Maisie also changed direction at the same time and quickly evacuated the airspace.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them were within the air defense protection circle of the First Army, and the Demon Slayer also entered the direct line of sight of the Demon Eye. Sylvie saw the human-like blue-skinned devil hovering twice over the bombardment area, and then stared coldly at the three people in the air, his expression full of murderous intent.

During this process, the artillery battalion never stopped shooting.

Although it was angry, it was powerless, Sylvie realized. Even the mighty Demon Slayer can't stop the whizzing shells from hunting its kind.

In the end, it could only leave the mad demons running around and turn around and go back.

Sylvie suddenly felt a lot less pressure.

"It's gone, let's go over and investigate again?" Maisie shouted.

She glanced at Lightning, who was clenching her fists, and finally shook her head, "That's it for today. I still need to reserve some magic power for the night. And the surrounding five or six kilometers have been scanned, which is enough to ensure that the engineering team It’s become safer these days.”

Arriving at the underground command post at Site 9, Sylvie painted a piece of land on the map green, which was the area cleared today.

And green like this is almost all along the railway line.

"Thank you for your hard work," Dawn came forward with a cup of black tea in her hand, "It seems that Lady Edith's exile plan worked."

Sylvie took the tea and smiled, "Well, it seems that it is indeed the case so far."

This is not the first time I have experienced an encounter like this.

In fact, since she approached Tachira a hundred kilometers away, the danger of her forward reconnaissance has greatly increased. When using the magic eye to penetrate the soil to observe, it will be difficult to pay attention to the enemy situation in the air. Within this distance, the devil can already do To stay in the air for a long time while carrying multiple air tanks.

Therefore, the staff formulated a targeted exile plan, dividing the reconnaissance area into several layers, and 02 kilometers was an absolute safe zone. Every corner within this range was scanned by the magic eye, and was always under the vigilance of the site. There is a high possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack. At this distance, the anti-aircraft team could leave the trench, providing a wider circle of protection.

210 kilometers is the screening area. This area is within the fortress artillery strike range and is also the main airspace for Sylvie and Maisie. After cleaning, it can be considered relatively safe and marked in green on the map.

1050 kilometers is a dangerous zone, and only Lightning is doing reconnaissance here. The purpose is to find the enemies hiding in the clouds and provide early warning, which is equivalent to giving Maisie and Sylvie time to retreat. Only lightning has the ability to instantly get rid of the enemy's pursuit within this distance. Even if the opponent is a demon slayer, it is impossible to catch up with the witch who has entered the speed of sound.

Facts have proved that the banishment plan is quite effective. The reconnaissance team can decide when to attack, while the enemy can only passively intercept it. Without ground troops to cooperate in the attack, it would be difficult for the Terror Beast alone to cause damage to the armored trains at the forefront.

Turn the screening area into a safe area step by step, pull out the nails set by the devil, and at the same time banish the most threatening demon-slayers from the battlefield, leaving them with no strength but unable to catch the tail of the reconnaissance team. This is the core idea of ​​the plan. If you can make the opponent lose their mind and charge forward to the front line of defense, that would be an even better result.

The only regret is that the Demon Slayer has not shown any signs of losing control so far.

"By the way," Sylvie looked around, "Where is Miss Pearl of the North?"

"I received His Majesty's order and took the Seagull back to Neverwinter with Iron Ax," Felin said with a smile, "I think it's about time."

The final pre-war meeting to discuss the decisive battle plan!
