Chapter 1157 Battle of Taqila (Part 2)

When two groups of black shadows crossed the midfield and advanced to the five-kilometer area, reconnaissance balloons were raised on the First Army position and the shelling stopped.

The demon slayer also noticed this situation, but it couldn't understand the intention of the human action. The floating sphere should be used to climb up and see far away, but at night, it couldn't even see objects close in front of it. No matter how high it is, what’s the use?

Taking advantage of the rain of fire to subside, it issued an order to speed up.

After the black shadow crossed the four-kilometer line, the artillery battalion completed the latest round of ammunition preparations and set up flare launchers.

Ever since the first night attack, Neverwinter City has rushed to produce a batch of simple lighting equipment - essentially it is not much different from a mortar, except that a parachute is added to the tail end of the shell, and the explosive is attached to the head. It's just replaced with a mixture of magnesium and aluminum powder that can continue to burn. The earliest illumination bombs could share the launch tube with mortar shells, but during the test it was found that the brightness and burning time of the small-caliber bullets were not ideal enough, so they were replaced with a dedicated large-caliber gun barrel. Although it still cannot allow soldiers to achieve daytime shooting accuracy, it generally shows that there is no problem in the battlefield environment.

However, the First Army had never used it in actual combat - this was also a suggestion from the staff.

Just when the enemy approached the edge of the three-kilometer range, Iron Ax couldn't wait to issue a counterattack order.

"Yes!" Fanner shouted after hanging up the phone, "Fire flares, maximum firing angle, release!"

With a few soft bangs, several dazzling light clusters suddenly burst out in the night sky. The orange fireworks dispelled the darkness and revealed the contours of the earth again.

Then more flares went up, ignited, dropped—

Within the first three kilometers of the position, a row of "little suns" seemed to appear. Although they could not reverse day and night, they made the stars and moon in the sky temporarily lose their luster.

And the huge stone pillars, spider demons and mad demons hiding in the night also appeared!

Even if there is only a small area, it is enough to indicate the target for the artillery.

After a round of test firing, dense artillery shells roared towards the back of the sacred stone. Different from the previous aimless firing, this time the shelling was completely prepared - and the devils who were exposed were obviously stunned, they seemed to Not knowing whether to continue moving forward or flee backwards from the area suddenly covered by light, he was stuck in place for a moment.

In an instant, a deafening explosion covered the enemy's crooked march.

…

Ersluk looked at the "light balls" slowly falling in the sky, and his indifferent expression finally changed.

Now it understands the significance of human beings raising floating spheres.

Six months ago, they were unable to deal with the night attack and could only passively defend the camp. However, now they have come up with countermeasures and have not used them until this moment. No matter from the means to the character, we can no longer treat him as a non-threatening insect.

Such humans... can already be called their opponents.

The king must understand this!

It made a split-second decision.

At the same time, Ersluk also firmly believed that cutting off the opponent's eyes and arms was the most important goal at the moment, otherwise this force might bring endless trouble to the tribe's development plan.

It turned its attention back to its feet - under the bombardment of human fire, the God's Punishment Stone Pillar and the follow-up troops had become disconnected. According to the original idea, these pillars should be able to advance within the attack range of the tombstone, and then cooperate with the outflanking protozoa to launch an assault, so as to recover the disadvantage in range and maximize the killing effectiveness of the troops.

But now, the illuminated area has cut off the advancing route of the army. If they forcefully pass through, they will only become the target of fire and rain. After losing the cover of night, the originally hidden blind spot has turned into a narrow place of death.

To destroy those light balls? No...it's obvious that humans have as many of these things as they want, not to mention that there are still people in the position staring at them...

Ersluk suddenly increased his speed and flew towards the opponent's position!

After avoiding a series of firebolt fire, it rushed to a floating sphere and grabbed the observer's neck just as he jumped out of the basket.

Looking at the horrified human, Ersluk smiled ferociously, and then tore it in half.

Then it dropped the body and raised its head and let out a sharp howl!

What spread together with the sound was the order for a general attack——

The original organisms that sensed its will let out the same roar. They rushed out of their hiding places and launched their final charge towards the human position!

In an instant, the earth boiled!

…

The battle finally returned to the way the First Army was most familiar with.

A large number of demons emerged from behind the blind spot, and for a moment it seemed that enemies were everywhere. The rising flares illuminated the last three kilometers, and mortars and heavy machine guns fired almost simultaneously, as if they were about to overturn the entire surface.

Probably both sides knew the significance of this decisive battle, and once they came into contact there was no holding back - the two forces collided so impressively, instantly turning the plain into a bloody meat grinding ground!

As long as he crawls into the spear-throwing range, the madman will continuously throw bone spears without hesitation until his arm is disabled. Even if their legs are broken and their bodies are punctured, they will continue to crawl forward dragging blue blood.

The First Army did not take a step back.

The machine gun squad splashed out bullets like water, and even faced the stone needles shot by the spider demon, there was no intention of evading them. After the exposed shooter is knocked down, a new team will immediately take over the work of the casualty. The only thing that can stop them is the short moment of replacing the scrapped barrel.

Fierce fighting lasted from midnight until dawn.

When the sky turned white, dozens of terrifying beasts also joined the battlefield.

In the morning light, this is undoubtedly the devil's last chance.

At this time, the pressure on the ground had weakened significantly. More machine gun teams raised their muzzles and worked with the anti-aircraft team to build an airtight air defense net.

The demon slayers rushed into the position several times, trying to interrupt the firepower of the defense line, but were forced back by the dense rain of bullets.

The balance of victory is tilting little by little towards the human side.

By noon, the sound of gunfire subsided.

Agatha followed Iron Ax and others out of the underground command post and slowly came to the front of the position.

The air was still filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, but she found the smell unexpectedly charming.

The grassland that was lush and green yesterday was now in a mess, with craters and corpses scattered everywhere.

The enemy's blood flowed along the ground and soaked into the soil, while the grass blades and shrubs passing by reflected wisps of blue luster under the sunlight.

The ruins of Taquila in the distance are still occupied by giant skeletons, but Agatha knows that after this battle, the devils are no longer able to stop humans, and they are only one step away from taking back the Holy City.

"We... won!" I don't know who shouted these words first, maybe it was an ordinary soldier, maybe a witch, or maybe a Taquila remnant... But that didn't matter anymore, because the next moment, The cheers of victory spread throughout the entire position regardless of each other——

This is a common victory for mankind!
