Chapter 1339 The Fury of Counterattack

"Now, guys, get out of the car! Act according to the drill, quick, quick!"

The shout from behind the carriage brought Farina back to her senses.

"Let's go help too!" she said to Joe, then opened the door and jumped out of the cockpit.

In just a few seconds, the crew members accompanying the convoy were already busy. While writing and drawing in their notebooks, they erected several strange instruments on the ground. Judging from the dialogue, those instruments seemed to be used to locate targets for soldiers.

At this point, Falina knew what the First Army wanted to do, no matter how slow she was.

They plan to bombard enemies who are several kilometers away here!

Although she had long known that the people of Graycastle were best at using firearms to attack enemies from a long distance, she understood clearly that when she witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she still felt a bit of heartfelt shock - any thrown weapon would be affected by the wind and its own weight. , and the farther the distance, the greater the impact. A slight disturbance will greatly change the results. How on earth do they ensure that the warheads fired by firearms still fly as they imagined at such a long distance?

Is it possible that those seemingly crude instruments can predict the future?

If this is the case, it is not surprising that the church suffered a disastrous defeat in the Cold Wind Ridge battle.

But Falina couldn't help at all with this kind of technical skills. She consciously walked to the back of the convoy, hoping to help unload the goods.

Due to confidentiality requirements, the driver did not know in advance who was in the car or what cargo was loaded, but the convoy must have towed a lot of things. At this time, having one more person to help can at least speed up preparations. ——She may not be good at other things, but her strength is by no means bad.

However, the scene behind made her stunned.

I saw a group of burly men carrying long wooden boxes with extremely high efficiency, and the heavy towed firearms did not appear too bulky in their hands. After the restrictions on the connectors were lifted, several people gathered around He pulled and pulled the long steel pipe and dragged it down the hardened road.

What surprised Falina even more was that she actually saw a few familiar faces in the crowd.

Wait... isn't this the God's Punishment Army?

Although they did not wear armor, judging from their strength, skill and appearance, they were clearly the outstanding warriors of Hermes.

"Hey, we meet again."

Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Listening to this familiar voice, Farina turned back suddenly, "Zo...Zoe?"

"I didn't expect you to still remember my name." Zoe grinned, "I thought you would still call out the leader of the Anova Legion first."

She took a deep breath, "Then these people are..."

"Yes, they are all witches of Taquila." Zoe spread her hands and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"There are hundreds of people like me in Neverwinter City, and they all use the bodies you contributed. When you meet familiar people in the future, just remember not to make a fuss."

The other party's words at that time reappeared in my ears.

Falina didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qiao bowed his head deeply to the latter, "Miss Zoe, I have always felt very sorry that I didn't have time to thank you last time. It's great to see you again now. Thank you for saving Miss Farina."

"Miss Zoe? Mortal, you know very well. I accept this thanks." Zoe shrugged, "We will talk about other things later. Now, focus on dealing with the devil."

"That..." Looking at the back of the departing figure, Falina couldn't help but say.

"Huh?" Zoe stopped.

"Thank you. And...I am extremely sorry for the mistakes the church has made..."

"It's not your fault, you're just a deceiver."

She waved her hands and walked towards the position being set up without looking back.

Falina opened her mouth, but in the end it just turned into a sigh.

But what she didn't see was that the corners of Zoe's mouth raised slightly as she left.

As a result, just as Iron Ax said, as a driver, she could not help at all. In less than a quarter of an hour, the First Army was ready to shoot.

"Report, No. 1, 2, and 3 artillery pieces have been loaded!"

"Fire!" the commander ordered decisively.

With a loud noise, a gauze-like snow mist instantly rose from under the gun mount, and the roar echoed in the mountains and fields, like thunder rolling across the horizon.

The hot shells were discharged into the snow, making a sizzling sound, and new shells were quickly loaded, waiting for the next shot. The whole process went smoothly, and the artillerymen cooperated tacitly as if they were one person. From this detail, we can see how far their usual training has reached.

Falina realized that the difference between the First Army and other armies was not just in firearms.

After more than ten breaths, she saw a string of snow pillars finally rising from the top of the mountain!

…

"Ground troops are firing!"

Sylvie, who was on the Seagull, could see it more clearly.

After the three shells passed through a long parabola, they all landed near the fortress-shaped monster. The nearest one was less than 300 meters away. The sudden explosion caused chaos among the demons stationed around them, and several terrifying beasts flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

After telling the artillery commander below the correction information, she focused all her attention on the enemy's movements.

"How did the devil react?" Tilly asked.

"The main target shows no sign of moving. Currently, only a few of the Terror Beasts are in the air. It won't be long before they discover the truck team."

"Good luck." Andrea whistled.

Indeed, good luck. Sylvie nodded imperceptibly—according to the plan drawn up by the staff, the counterattack team was originally prepared to be discovered before the Abnormal Beast approached the fortress, and continued to fire at the target despite the obstruction of the patrolling Terror Beast. The basis for this plan comes from the experience accumulated in the previous battles with the Devil Vanguard Army in the Fertile Plains. If the opponent is Ersluk, twenty to fifteen kilometers is already a high-risk area.

Although it had just experienced a big battle and a large number of troops were sent to Chenchi Bay, as an extremely important "mobile obelisk", there were still terrifying beasts and many defenders stationed near the fortress. However, their warning circle was not watertight. For a long time, no terrifying beasts flew past this area.

It was precisely because the enemy did not detect the counterattack team early that Tilly asked Sylvie to continue guiding the truck forward until it was eight kilometers away from the target before switching to the artillery position.

This can only show that the enemy army became slack after capturing the four cities!

In a moment, the second round of shells roared in.

The calibrated second round of strikes was obviously much more accurate. Two of them passed through the towering skeleton of the fortress monster and landed at its feet one after another, killing several mad demons. The third shot penetrated directly into the monster's broad back, kicking up a patch of snow and flesh and blood residue.

The beast let out a piercing scream and stepped forward with two legs at the same time.

More terrifying beasts flew out from all directions and formed a formation in the air.

But by the time they confirmed where the attack was coming from, it was already five minutes later - this could not be considered slow in previous battles, but facing the fortress artillery eight kilometers away, five minutes was enough for the artillery to fire ten rounds of shelling, including Including the time to adjust the shooting parameters!

This operation did not end with a precise "leg-breaking blow" like the Battle of Taquila, but for the enemy, the result was much more tragic. The skeleton body that had been bombarded repeatedly was scarred, with several craters scattered all over it. Through the layers of broken bones, one could see the trembling organs underneath and the blue blood flowing everywhere. Although it tried its best to escape, this attempt did not have much effect compared to the rate of fire of the artillery.

When another cannonball penetrated into the body of the monster, it let out a shrill wail, and after a flash of blue light, its huge body exploded into pieces! Internal organs and blood spilled down like a waterfall, dyeing the snow on the hillside an eerie color. The empty limbs seemed to have lost their support, feebly breaking, peeling off, and collapsing, slamming into those devils who had no time to escape, crushing them into a puddle of twisted rags.

"Watch out, they're coming!"

At the same time, Sylvie also issued a warning to the convoy about the approach of the terrifying beast.
