Chapter 1151 Ambush Plan (Part 2)
Roland naturally knew what the North Pearl was referring to.
The development of the divine punishment bullet encountered many technical difficulties, such as the caliber of the bullet, matching guns, etc. Since the hardness of the divine stone is related to its volume, it should be enlarged as much as possible. However, large-sized sacred stones will also create a larger area of forbidden magic. In addition, the sharp increase in the weight of large-caliber guns will inevitably bring non-negligible negative effects to concealment, transportation and use.
During this week, Anna, Agatha, Lucia and Andrea worked together to tackle the problem, conducted nearly a hundred tests, and finally determined several data indicators.
In order to ensure uniform force during launch, the God's Stone of Punishment was processed into a cylinder with a width of thirty millimeters, and the outside was covered with copper clothing to form a sharp back armor warhead. Therefore, the caliber of the bullet specially made for demon slayers reaches an astonishing thirty-five millimeters, and it feels like a heavy small cannonball in the hand.
Only at this size can the strength of the inner core be stable enough to prevent it from being cracked by the impact of gunpowder.
The "lightless black hole" produced by the sacred stone is also close to about 1.5 meters, which means that the distance between the gun body and the gun body must be more than two meters. Counting the barrel, it is definitely a standout and cannot be loaded into the Magic Ark normally. Therefore, disassembly design is a must.
At the same time, the increase in caliber brought huge recoil, making it no longer possible to use a human support as before, and it had to be installed on a special stand to shoot.
The above reasons resulted in the final product looking so deformed that the shooter could not even reach the bolt, nor could he load the gun by himself. The entire gun weighs almost as much as two adults in combat mode, which also weakens the number of special operations teams in disguise. In addition, even if muzzle brakes and gun frame buffers are used, the recoil may still injure the shooter.
Fortunately, this new weapon itself is only intended to be used once, so it is not an unacceptable shortcoming.
The advantages of large diameter are not without.
The most obvious thing is that the range of weapons has been greatly improved - the range of guns generally refers to the effective range. Bullets are still lethal after crossing this limit, but because the trajectory is too erratic, it is impossible to determine the impact point, so that it is useless. Practical value. But for Andrea, the maximum range of the gun is the effective range. As long as the coin exists, she will definitely hit the target, which makes the theoretical attack range of the new weapon exceed ten kilometers.
Roland also understood more and more why Edith chose the jungle area.
Compared with the previous anti-devil sniper rifle that could be fired just by setting it up, this weapon, which can be called a cannon, must be spliced and assembled before it can be used, and the preparation time is greatly extended. If you do not choose a hidden area, the risk of the plan will be greatly increased.
"The last is the retreat route," Edith pointed to the map. "After the artillery bombardment on Taqila officially begins, the First Army will send a force about five to six kilometers ahead of the left wing to meet the special operations team. Retreat. As for when the ambush will begin, it depends on the strength of the enemy's resistance. The above is the general content of the plan."
This plan, which was discussed for nearly a week, was quickly approved by everyone, and after some screening, the personnel of the two teams were determined.
The sniper team consists of five people, namely Sylvie, Andrea, Carmilla, Maggie and Ashes. The first four people can be said to be the necessary candidates for the ambush, and the last protector position is only Ashes' ability that is the most balanced. The accompanying investigator is Lightning - her biggest advantage over Maisie is that she can transport divine punishment bullets. As long as she is hung by a rope, the effect of the divine stones will not affect her.
Otherwise, this group of people would have to walk to the enemy's rear.
The Seagull Team consists of ten people, with Maisie as the scout. Except for Tilly and Wendy, the ten people on the plane were all God's Punishment Witches, and the leader was Zoe. The team was smaller than expected because the blunderbuss, anti-Devil grenades, and armor took up too much of the load, and that's even with the Hummingbird cutting its weight in half.
As for the frontal battlefield, there is not much to say - just fight steadily and advance step by step.
The entire plan maximized all available resources, and also made Roland feel the lack of transportation capacity. Without the support of inland rivers and railways, the number of troops that the First Army can project will be extremely limited. If it has an armored force, why bother? It can go around thousands of miles, cut off the enemy's supplies first, and then attack front and rear with the main force. In this way, even if the demon slayer wants to escape, he will be trapped on the grassland because there is not enough red mist.
At the end of the meeting, Edith stood up again. She looked at Roland, seemingly hesitant.
"Is there anything else?" Roland asked, raising his eyebrows.
"After the decisive battle begins, I hope you can temporarily enter the Third Border City, and the same goes for the City Hall." She paused, "Of course, there are also the witches in the castle area."
"What do you mean by this?" Barov, who had been unable to interject, finally found an entry point, "Do you want to instruct His Majesty!"
Anna was slightly moved and said, "Do you think it's possible for the devil to attack Neverwinter?"
"It's unlikely, but we can't rule it out." Edith started to look more calm. "The blood line means the upper limit, but it cannot be roughly equated to the opponent's strength - such as supporting three thousand devils. The combat red mist can also allows a thousand devils to travel a longer distance. Since they have come once, they may come a second time. If this time the opponent is no longer a threat or warning, but goes straight to the castle District...if what comes is not an ordinary mad devil, but a high-level devil..."
There was a brief silence.
"Even if it means giving up Taquila?" Agatha frowned.
"If the loss is inevitable, there is no point in giving up, but in trying to recover the losses as much as possible."
"I understand," Roland smiled easily, "I'll just follow your suggestion. Barov, you will make the arrangements for the city hall. Do you know what to do?"
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty."
In fact, even if the other party didn't say anything, he planned to stay in the hall and watch the "live broadcast" - even though he could only see a corner of Taqila, it was a rare opportunity.
"Everyone, I know what you are thinking." Roland stood up and said. There is no doubt that after this meeting is over, the people with the mission will rush to the front line and engage in the decisive battle for survival... He knows that the moment of the final speech has arrived. "Yes, victory is only one step away from us now. Although only a few people know about this war, and even fewer know its significance, one day, it will be remembered by all mankind! In the battle of divine will Before it even started, Graycastle took the initiative to block the devils from the Fertile Plains. No matter whether the opponent was held back by the Sky and Sea Realm, the weight of victory would not be reduced at all! The only regret is... I can't go with you."
The hall was silent, but everyone's eyes were shining with dazzling light.
"Defeat the devil and capture Taquila - I look forward to your fight!" He looked around and said word by word.
"As you wish!" everyone said in unison.
