If it were an ordinary army, the moment they saw the Lord of the Abyss, they would have collapsed and fled.
However, the army commanded by Ricardo Carvey, the former Grand Duke and the man known as the Empire's God of War, although not a regular army of the Empire, still persisted under such pressure.
In fact, there is no such thing as a war aura in Lost Land, and morale is not a concept that can be easily quantified numerically. The bonuses that magic can bring cannot break through the chasm-like gap.
Everyone, including officers and soldiers, can ask themselves, why can they still stand there and not escape in the face of an upcoming battle in which they know they will die?
But they persisted like this, in front of the Lord of the Abyss who was equivalent to a god.
However, the double-wolf-headed Wolfram did not rely on his strength and rode alone into the enemy formation to cause a massacre.
Under normal conditions, the dominance of its body is controlled by the normal wolf head. It claims to be a commander and a wise man, but it doesn't like those reckless tactics.
As for the crazed wolf head, it rarely gets the upper hand. But every time the mad head takes the lead, the scene always becomes very tragic, and the enemy has no chance to regret it.
This kind of battle between hundreds of thousands versus tens of thousands is one of Wolfram's favorite scenes. He was the one with the greater numbers and surrounded the enemy. Having such an advantage and then winning a beautiful victory is not fun enough for outsiders to say.
Although it is not as good as being evenly matched, it is refreshing to win with wisdom. But as long as you win beautifully, you will always be in a good mood.
In particular, it has a giant-level figure. The tallest and strongest demon at its feet only reaches its ankles. Such a height allows it to easily overlook the entire battle situation, and no changes can escape its eyes.
In conjunction with the whispers that the devil uses to confuse people, its orders can be issued directly to the soldier level, allowing everyone to act according to its wishes. This kind of ability to command war is, to use a certain time traveler's terminology, just like cheating.
With such an advantage, Wo...ren raised his crossbow and advanced step by step. The crossbow machine they made relied on the dwarven technology, and its power and range were quite extraordinary. But if you can't bear it, the opponent directly uses war weapons!
So what if he was heavily armed with plate armor? The spear-like crossbow arrows were shot from the siege crossbow and could skewer three or five dwarves in one go without even breathing.
Not to mention the catapult stones. If these big rocks were placed on the ground, they would not pose a threat to the gray dwarves at all. Whether you break it open or move it away, it all depends on your mood. But if it falls from the sky, it's a different story.
No gray dwarf dared to pat his chest and guarantee that he could catch the stone bullets thrown by the catapult.
Usually the first one hit will turn into meat paste. When the stone bullets rolled on the ground, they would be injured or killed upon contact. No matter how strong the gray dwarves are, they are still blind when faced with siege-level weapons.
However, how could it be possible that Old Kaweigong only carried this traditional weapon with him. As one of the three bosses of the Automobile Center, he doesn't mind revealing the design and manufacturing technology of automobiles, but for someone who firmly grasps the oil refining method, incendiary throwing weapons are indispensable.
The weapon named kerosene bomb is a by-product of refining gasoline. Those heavy oils that are not used in car engines, refer to the formula of kerosene in the past, and find a deadly combination that can adhere to the human body and burn.
These kerosene bombs will be equipped with fuzes, so that after being thrown out, they will explode over the enemy and burn, causing area-wide damage. The attached kerosene and burning flames will penetrate through the gaps, causing unimaginable burning and high temperatures, and even ignite the attached objects.
The gray dwarf's heavy armor failed to bring any sense of security or protection at this time. Instead, it seemed like a life-threatening device. He allowed the flames and kerosene to get into the gaps in the armor, and he couldn't even stop it. Even if he wanted to take off his armor, it would be too late.
For the purpose of forging, all dwarves have the property of being resistant to heat and fire. But this does not mean that they will not be injured if they are burned, or that they will not even die. The flames will still cause fatal damage to them.
Especially when you can't extinguish the flames no matter what you do, and the flames will continue to spread, increasing the scope of the burn. Once the gray dwarf is in the center of the attack of the fire oil bomb and is splashed with oil all over his body, he will probably not survive.
Even if it is only affected, it can easily spread throughout the body and be fatal. Only by being very lucky, the burned armor part can be untied before it spreads and thrown to the ground, and there is still hope of saving one's life. But the burned part can only be treated slowly.
The kerosene bombs in Midi are not as perverted as the white phosphorus bombs or Greek fire in the hometown of some time traveling people, and they are only slightly more dangerous than gasoline bombs. But at this level, in this era where cold weapons are the mainstay, it is still a quite terrifying weapon.
For the gray dwarves who face these dangerous war weapons, the only fortunate part is that the number of these weapons is not large enough to overwhelm the world. The most dangerous kerosene bombs also have a limited attack range and cannot be used unlimitedly.
Although the fate of those who are directly hit is very miserable, after all, they must be very unlucky to be chosen by such a coincidence. Most of the gray dwarves still marched forward with their heads held high, betting that those bad attacks would not come to them, while shooting at the enemies.
Old Kaweigong looked at the gray dwarves walking very confidently, and couldn't figure out whether they really ignored the misery of their companions, or were being whipped by the Lord of the Abyss behind them to behave like this.
When siege-level weapons are used at this time, it is impossible to ask for much lethality. The focus is still on morale. But if the enemy can really ignore the screams of his companions and his morale will not waver, then there will be little benefit in continuing to shoot.
But it can't stop there. Doing so will greatly increase the enemy's morale and make them think that we are unable to continue.
In fact, against the dense formation of enemies, the best weapon is the multi-barrel minigun equipped on the Twin Griffins. However, there was a Great Lord of the Abyss watching from the side. Old Kaweigong had many concerns about whether to issue such an order to the Twin Griffins.
Maybe he won't escape in an airship, but the doctors who are following his granddaughter are still... behind him, in a central position protected by layers of protection. Regarding their plan to use the airship to retreat, it was prepared from the beginning.
Therefore, old Mr. Kawei did not dare to risk his granddaughter's survival on his own risk.
Of course, it's impossible for that kid Ezio to agree to escape with someone. But he would not object to letting the airship out for those who need to leave, and then come to fight on the ground.
Thinking of this, the old man also felt a little regretful. He should have packed the hospital group into the airship earlier. While you don't have to run around with your legs, you can also run more quietly when you need to.
Unlike now, if you want your granddaughter to leave in an airship, you have to have the airship land to pick her up before you can leave. It's just that the airship is so big, and the action of landing to pick up people is too obvious.
If the thought of someone preparing to escape in an airship remains in the minds of the soldiers, even if the soldiers around them are also from the Gwana Empire, their morale will probably collapse. And once something like this happens, it will be difficult to deal with. The consequences are of course disastrous.
But there are not all opportunities ahead. For some unknown reason, that great monarch did not personally participate in the battle! The only ones it killed were the mortals under its command. Even the demons surrounding it were equally motionless.
Although this distance is only a few steps for an Abyss Lord. Once the opponent activates, I'm afraid he can kill them with just one thought. But as long as you haven't reached that point, you must do your best at what you are doing.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared, not to those who give up. Even if there is a being on the battlefield that he can't match, it doesn't mean that he can't beat his minions!
To put it ten thousand steps back, killing one is enough to save money, killing two is profitable!
Old Kawei Gong was heartbroken and his eyes were sharp. He raised his right hand high and sent out a signal. The defensive queue immediately opened several large gaps, and from the car center, special customized cars made of magic materials came out and lined up in front of the formation.
The gray dwarf's powerful crossbow arrow missed and bounced off without even leaving a mark.
...... # And the roaring sound of the engine is like the roar of these man-made ferocious beasts. Deep and bloodthirsty!
