At the same moment, Pope Viper Cross, who was in the middle of the team, had the same question in his mind.
Standing at his angle, he could see the light and roar of the giant cannons on the high ground in front of him, and at the same time, he could see the collapsed and broken walls of Enrique City in the distance. When he realized the enemy's attack distance and power, Daize ordered to blow the charge horn without hesitation, and began to attack across the board!
"Damn it! What kind of weapon are they using!?"
Daize, who was riding on horseback, felt a little flustered, because at this time the team was still about 1,700 meters away from the Efta position on the high ground. The effective range of the "Poison Fang Chariot" is already very long, but it is only about one thousand meters to death. The opponent's heavy artillery directly blew up the city wall at a distance of two kilometers away. In contrast, Daize certainly didn't think he could escape the attack of this kind of weapon!
Since the cannon can hit Enrique City, it can also attack itself. Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to speed up and strive for the enemy to rush to that high ground before turning the target to him!
"Accelerate! Accelerate! Even if you don't have the stamina to rush there, it's better than being blown to death on the road!"
His hand holding the staff was covered in sweat, and his entire face was as tight as a mask. The sorcerers desperately cast speed-up magic spells on the soldiers, but with the movement of nearly ten thousand troops and the cumbersome "fang chariot" slowing down the speed, the originally orderly team immediately began to lose touch.
However, just as the cavalry team started to speed up and was about to break away from the main force and charge forward, there was a dense roar from above the sky. Pope Daze raised his head and found that there were two black shadows flying towards the team in the sky. The other party seemed to have adjusted their course, and the direction of flight happened to be oncoming.
Daize has seen this thing many times, but he still doesn't understand what it is. But when the huge "Albatross" transport plane behind them appeared in sight, everyone realized that something was wrong.
The falcon flew overhead, and the "Albatross" flew at a height of only a thousand meters. It crossed the "turret" position where the Efta soldiers were, and then, when it was about to fly over the head of the Viper Crusade, it began to throw it continuously from the rear cabin. The next black objects...
The Viper Cross infantry at the forefront of the team looked up at the sky, watching the black thing with the tail quickly fall head-down, and hit the infantry array straight.
"boom!"
Daize, who was 200 meters away, witnessed the explosion of the bomb with his own eyes—the blue light bloomed, and with the vibration of the shock wave, a large piece of broken limbs was thrown high, with a radius of more than 30 meters Everything within the range was completely swallowed by the flames, and mushroom-like black smoke rose,
The terrifying shock wave even knocked over the knights who were 100 meters away.
What's even more frightening is that such blows are continuous.
A total of more than seventy air-dropped bombs were quickly dropped by the mages on the "Albatross". When Daize saw the black shadows in the sky flying towards him, he immediately jumped off the frightened and out-of-control horse, and lost his voice. Shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
With the help of divine magic, Daize took every step, and his whole body was as swift as flying on flat ground. But there are too few people who can achieve his level. The high-ranking knights of the Saint Army who protected him by his side did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and instinctively turned their horses to move to the sides. Being squeezed in the queue, when they heard the pope's warning, they were already a step behind in casting spells...
The flames swallowed everything in an instant.
The spar equivalent of each bomb is more than three times that of the positional artillery. In order to save costs, this bomb is made of wood that has been cast with solidification. However, in order to increase the lethality, the tail of the bomb is stuffed with various shards of metal. Therefore, when the front of the warhead is inserted into the ground and the spar is triggered to explode, the fragments stored at the tail will cause large-scale damage during the high-speed splashing process.
And when a series of bombs fell directly into the dense crowd, each bomb could almost cause dozens or even hundreds of people to die on the spot!
In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible to imagine the horror of air strikes and bombings with hot weapons. When Viper Cross's battle concept was still at the stage of "winning with more people", they didn't know that this kind of banded team could almost be called the favorite target of carpet bombing.
More than 70 bombs fell to the ground within half a minute. Although they did not completely cover the entire Viper Cross troops, they also submerged more than 70% of the infantry troops in the sea of flames caused by the release of spar energy. middle.

; Only the cavalry units on both sides were lucky enough to escape the bombing, but this kind of blow, which was more terrifying than the forbidden curse, had completely lost their morale for fighting.
The Knights of the Saint Army who had shouted slogans could only try to control the horses that were frightened by the impact and loud noise. Facing the attack from the sky, these cavalrymen found that they had no choice but to be beaten passively.
charge? The enemy is still two kilometers away!
In front of their eyes, the orange-red flames formed a sea. The people in the middle of the infantry formation were all dead on the spot, and the soldiers who were hit by the edge, who were not dead, were all working hard with jumping flames all over their bodies. crawling. Some cavalry jumped off their horses and wanted to drag them out of the sea of flames, but when they got closer, they discovered that these people had huge wounds embedded or pierced by metal fragments...
The blood that flowed out was scorched black because of the fire, and often within a few minutes after being dragged out of that area, they died of serious injuries due to respiratory burns and excessive blood loss...
And the more terrible accident is behind.
When Pope Daze got up from the ground in disgrace, the first thing he looked at was the "fang chariots" and gas bombs in the center of the battlefield. What frightened him was... those weapons of war that had been forged with all his painstaking effort, had all been shattered and burned in the impact and flames at this moment. And the dark green poisonous gas also spread with the shattering of the "gas bomb"!
After the poisonous gas touched the soldiers on both sides, it immediately made them howl in pain. The soldiers who originally operated the "Poisonous Fang Chariot" began to frantically scratch their cheeks and exposed skin, and pustules spread all over their bodies almost immediately. After that, the soldiers' throats were completely dumbed down by inhaling the poisonous gas. When they fell silently, His face was covered with pus and blood, and his death was extremely miserable...
"Quickly evacuate that area! Quick!"
Daize yelled desperately, but at this moment he realized that all his personal guards had disappeared in the explosion because they couldn't dodge in time. But looking around, there was only a huge pit left where I was standing just now, and the radiated ground was covered with scorched black limbs and broken arms. The elders seemed to have disappeared, and there may not even be a complete body left...
The top combat power in the sect, how can it be gone without it?
Daze's ears were filled with the buzzing after the explosion. Not far in front of him, poisonous gas had spread... Some knights who wanted to rescue the wounded were shrouded in poisonous fog, and then fled to the distance with screams and screams. The scene caused a large-scale panic among the cavalry who hesitated in place. In order to avoid the poisonous fog, people all turned around and started running back.
Soon, the morale of the cavalry began to collapse on a large scale, and Daze alone was powerless to stop the cavalry from fleeing. He could only raise the scepter in his hand, use divine magic to heal the wounded soldiers around him, and pull up the magicians who had not been burned to death, trying to release the "Holy Field" to block the incoming Toxic fog.
If it weren't for the "Albatross" transport aircraft's insufficient bomb-carrying capacity, this round of bombing could basically wipe out the Viper Crusade. However, more than 70 bombs failed to "take care" of all the soldiers. Forty meters behind Pope Daze was the detonation point of the last bomb, and more than 2,000 people behind were not attacked. . But at this time, he was frightened out of his wits, and was in a state of collapse at any time.
Under such circumstances, Daize immediately made a decision—he led a dozen bishops gathered together, and after isolating the poisonous fog in front, he directly called on the surviving soldiers to retreat, and used the " "Levitation Art" and "Holy Light Art" were cast to attract the attention of the panicked soldiers, loudly stabilized the army's morale through the "Amplification Art", and immediately changed the soldiers from the rear to the front, and evacuated in an orderly manner in the distance.
This series of orders was not complicated, but after Daize gave all the orders, he looked back at the battlefield ahead... The isolated poisonous gas had completely enveloped the soldiers who were still struggling. , covered by the spreading poisonous gas, there is no reason to survive—no matter how shocking slogans they chanted, a cruel fact is in front of them.
The 6,000 main force completely disappeared within five minutes.
Nearly half of the 13,000-strong Viper Crusade directly died. This kind of battle loss ratio is unbearable for any army.
Daize gritted his teeth and evacuated from the battlefield on foot. The existence of the poisonous fog made it impossible for them to even "collect the corpse". This humiliating sense of failure made everyone's heart heavy.
But war is like this, he now has no other choice but to retreat and preserve his vitality.
