Chapter 2919 Unexpected Offensive (Ⅱ)
Sharman complained about Laval's negative attitude in combat command, but what made him even more helpless was that Laval's simple and crude tactics were just in line with "Pyromaniac" Elson's appetite.
Elson's position in the conquest order is second only to Pope Teresis. He has already expressed his support for Laval's combat plan. Sharman can only obey orders and lead ten low-level "blighters", Each holds a "Gantias Root", and jointly controls two thousand withered monsters, which rush towards the enemy's position like a tide.
The wither troop charged forward and was responsible for attracting the enemy's firepower, followed by the orc troop and the army of enchanted plants to attack.
Sure enough, the two huge silver airships in the sky quickly approached, opened the hatches on both sides, and a large group of giant eagles carrying aerial bombs flew out one after another, swooped down in formation, and threw bombs at the advancing Laval Corps.
The aerial bombs produced by the Far East Arsenal are much more advanced than the "cluster blasting barrels" used by Fei Zhen and the Canaan Air Force.
The aerial bombs equipped with stabilizer fins, like huge drop-shaped steel meteorites, spun and fell from a high altitude. The moment the firing pin touched the ground, they exploded violently, and the steel fragments mixed with alchemy fire oil splattered wildly, forming a sudden eruption of fire clouds All flammable substances within 100 feet are ignited.
Laval's troops mainly activate plants, and what they fear most is fire attacks. Wither monsters, hanging trees, and blood-sucking vines are glued by the fiery glue sprayed by bombs, and the branches and leaves all over their bodies immediately burn. .
At the same time as the Giant Eagles dropped bombs and bombed in turn, there was also the sound of rumbling artillery from the opposite position.
Shizhu Town is located at an important point, not only to deal with the colonial expansion from the east, but also to guard against the heretics from the south and the frost giants entrenched in the Tusk Mountain in the west. The local residents have a strong sense of crisis. Order guns and cannons from the dwarven arsenal to bolster your defenses.
Now 80 12-pound infantry guns have been saved in the town. At the beginning of the battle, mules and horses were used to drag the cannons to the southern position, and launched a fierce shelling towards the Laval Corps.
After two rounds of test firing, foreign students who had received advanced gunnery training in the Far East assisted the gunners in correcting the shooting elements. The next three rounds of shelling blasted out a fire isolation zone and interrupted the enemy.
Culkin's orc corps was knocked upside down by the shells falling head-on like a torrential rain. The orc's strong physique was as fragile as cardboard in front of the splashing shrapnel, and the shaved flesh flew across. There was a moment of confusion.
The catapults, hanging trees, and blood-sucking vine troops behind the orc corps were also paralyzed because they were tired of avoiding the bombing from the air, and they were forced to suspend their advance.
Now only the Blight monster corps controlled by Shaman and other "Blighters" are still continuing to carry out the offensive mission. However, after finally breaking through the blockade of artillery fire, they found a dense barbed wire fence in front of them, and behind the barbed wire fence were rows of bricks and stones. On the parapet, the defenders set up grenades and fired dense grenades.
When the wither monsters got closer, the special training corps stationed at the position greeted them with grenades and "wind guns".
All these grenades, grenades and rifle bullets were all smeared with the enchanted insect wax provided by the gray master. A small shrapnel hit the wither monster, and a large silver flame burst out immediately, burning it to a pool of ashes within a few seconds .
Standing on the hill, Laval realized that his offensive had been thwarted, so he turned his head and whispered a few words to Elson.
Elson nodded knowingly, established a spiritual connection with all the blood-sucking tree roots in the army through the "Gantias Root" in his hand, and ordered them to go underground immediately, digging soil and sneaking under the Asa camp , and then broke out of the ground and launched a surprise attack.
The battle zone is located on the great plain beside the Mead River. The soil is loose and moist, which is very suitable for the roots of blood-sucking trees to dig into the ground.
The secret operation was carried out smoothly at the beginning. Excluding the casualties in the air strike, the remaining 250 blood-sucking tree roots all sneaked under the positions guarded by the Asa tribe. Under the command of Elson, They broke through the ground one after another, stretching their bloodthirsty roots in an attempt to kill and cause chaos on the battlefield.
However, their arrogance was quickly curbed.
The moment the blood-sucking tree roots were unearthed, the "Forbidden Art" set in advance on the position was triggered. An ironic coincidence is that today's passphrase is "Evil Plants Must Be Destroyed".
Of course, the blood-sucking tree roots don't know the password on the enemy's position. The moment they break into the barrier, the special effect of the ban is triggered, and all of them suffer from the 12-level force field.
More than half of the roots of the blood-sucking tree were destroyed on the spot, and those who survived were also seriously injured. Except for a very few who fled back into the ground in time, the rest were shot to death.
This wave of sneak attacks launched by the vampire roots only caused a slight commotion in the Shizhu Town position, and they were suppressed.
There are very few remaining blood-sucking tree roots left. If they dare to drill out of the ground and invade the defenders' positions, they will trigger the prohibition barrier again, which is tantamount to suicide.
Seeing this situation, Laval just frowned and didn't make a sound.
The violent "pyromaniac" Elson couldn't swallow this breath, and he didn't ask Laval, his nominal boss, for instructions. He took several protective spells on himself, blessed him with a 7-ring "Walk against the Wind", and unexpectedly took a risk. Facing the hail of bullets, he flew straight to the position of Shizhu Town alone!
Seeing Elson's crazy behavior, Laval couldn't help but change his face. After hesitating for a while, he personally led the Iron Cavalry Demon Guards to rush down the hillside, chased after Elson's back, and joined the ranks of charging.
Transformed into a fiery red human-shaped cloud, Elson flew at a high speed against the hail of bullets, and broke into the sky above the defenders' position not long after.
The protective spell that was blessed in advance on his body absorbed the damage caused by the forbidden barrier for Elson. The moment he landed, he immediately cast "Extended Deep Darkness", and the surrounding 120-foot space was immediately covered by the dark curtain created by magic, including sunlight The natural light inside is blocked from the outside, and the light magic of ring 3 and below cannot emit a ray of light in the dark area.
The Asa soldiers on the ground were suddenly surrounded by darkness, and they couldn't help but panic because they couldn't see their fingers. Some people shot randomly in the darkness, and more people tried to escape from this magical darkness.
The chaos on the ground provided Elson with the opportunity to cast spells calmly. First, he blessed himself with the "devil vision" that can penetrate the darkness, and then silently recited the real name of a high-level demon, crushing the piece of sulfur in his hand .
