Chapter 3023 Siege (Ⅱ)

Not only the warning, the broadcaster even publicly read out the military facilities that were the key bombings of this air raid, stating that the bombing was only to paralyze the resistance of the defenders and did not intend to cause more evil. He hereby urges the military and civilians near the bombing target to evacuate as soon as possible. so as not to be harmed.

Shortly thereafter, the Giant Eagle bombing team launched the first wave of air strikes, and the time and place were exactly in line with the prior notice.

The climax of this good show came at 9:00 in the morning, when the radio station read a humorous announcement written by Lieutenant Colonel Holden, claiming that the Continental Army was about to bomb the headquarters of Earl Winthrop—— customs house.

Holden also kindly reminded Earl Winthrop and his staff to move to the air-raid shelter in the basement of the building as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Finally, Holden ended the "bombing forecast" with a cynical tone:

"Considering that it is inconvenient for the generals to issue orders in the air-raid shelter and command subordinates to conduct meaningless resistance, you might as well use this rare leisure time to drink a cup of tea and spend some time thinking about how to write a letter of surrender or a suicide note to your family."

This is no longer a war, but a naked humiliation!

Earl Winthrop and his staff were all deeply ashamed after hearing the broadcast. However, when the figure of the enemy bombing team appeared above the building, they could only endure the humiliation and hurriedly hid in the basement for refuge.

The bombing of the Customs House lasted for two full hours. The naval guns roared endlessly on the sea surface of the port. The air force dispatched four attack waves, abruptly blasting the most magnificent landmark building in the city to the ground, and the flames engulfed the ruins. Smoke rises from ruins.

Through this series of pre-announced bombing operations, the Continental Army implanted a very psychologically deterrent belief in the minds of the enemy and even war reporters:

"I'm going to bomb you at the scheduled time and place."

"I did what I said, but you can only hug your head and get beaten."

The bombardment continued until noon, and the roar of artillery fire and bombs gradually became weaker. However, before the defenders in the city had time to catch their breath, the Continental Army launched a more violent ground offensive.

The army on the attacking side surrounded the giant statue of Qingbing and continued to press forward, while the defenders resisted in vain in desperation-this familiar scene seemed to reappear yesterday.

What's even more ironic is that after a lapse of one year, the situation of the offensive and defensive sides has been completely reversed.

Earl Winthrop set up heavily guarded fortresses on two high grounds outside the city. The garrison included the most powerful hill giant mercenaries and Vali bear warriors on Feizhen's side.

However, in the face of the approaching giant statues, the two strategic locations defending the city of Leiden only lasted for less than an hour before falling one after the other.

The hill giants and Vali warriors were brave enough to fight back against the artillery fire, trying to prevent the green ice giant from approaching the city gate.

It's a pity that they didn't even have a chance to get close to the Colossus, and they were defeated by the Volsunger Armored Knights guarding around the Colossus.

The tall and strong hill giants and the Vali warriors transformed into bears do have combat power far superior to ordinary human soldiers, but their opponents are not ordinary people. Hundreds of mechanical armors form a steel Great Wall on the battlefield, holding magic crystals The machine guns fired mercilessly. No matter how strong the giants and bears were, they were still flesh and blood after all.

When the highlands outside the city fell, the most heroic scene of the entire battle unfolded before the reporters.

Prince Enfield, the leader of the Valli tribe, jumped out of the trench with a roar, turned into a giant bear with two wings, braved the hail of bullets, and flew straight to the giant ice statue driven by Colonel Sluder Volsunger himself, trying to fight with his own hands. The power to destroy the colossus, reverse the battle.

Joan accompanied Slude to sit in the cabin of the Azure Ice Colossus, seeing the giant white bear flying in the sky, he couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

He has dealt with Enfield before, and he modified the Qingbing Colossus himself, so he naturally knows the strength of both sides.

Even without counting the hundreds of mechanical armors and thousands of grenadier cavalry serving as guards around the colossus, and giving Enfield a fair one-on-one chance, he couldn't beat the blue ice colossus.

After all, the "Bear Rage" he relied on for transformation is a supernatural power. If he gets close to the ice colossus, he will be suppressed by the mythical anti-magic field, and he will be beaten back to his original shape immediately, and his power will plummet.

So Enfield Valli's move must be a reckless suicide charge?

Not necessarily.

Joan knew that Enfield possessed the "Holy Seal". According to past experience, when he died, the holy fetus in his body would likely hatch at an accelerated rate and transform into a mythical holy beast "Chimera", which might pose a threat to the Azure Ice Colossus .

Thinking of this, he whispered in Slude's ear, and then walked to the hatch alone, looked at Flying Bear through the porthole on the chest of the Qingbing Colossus, and calmly performed the "Mythological Dimension Killing Field".

A magical aura flashed in the air, and a dimensional door quietly opened, forcibly sucking the huge flying bear in.

At the same time, Joan himself disappeared.

Slude entrusted the task of manipulating the colossus to his adjutant, pacing back and forth in the cabin with his hands behind his back, his beautiful eyes couldn't hide his anxiety.

The gunpowder smoke and artillery fire on the battlefield have been thrown out of her mind at this moment, and the girl's heartstrings are firmly tied to the young mage.

Slude's concern didn't last long. Just two minutes later, Joan teleported back in place, holding a distorted stone statue in his hand, which looked like it was made by a young modernist sculptor.

Slude took a closer look, and it turned out that the statue was Enfield who had been beaten and curled up with his head in his arms, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Joan, you didn't kill the bear, you just petrified him?"

"That's enough." Joan's body was as clean as ever, and his calm tone showed no signs of having just experienced a fierce fight, "Enfield Valli has a high prestige among the aboriginal tribes in Jotunheim Keeping him as a prisoner of war can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Wali tribe in the future, and it will help ease the relationship between Shizhu Town and the Asa compatriots in the north, which is more cost-effective than killing him."

"Exactly." Slude smiled and nodded in agreement.

In fact, she could see that Joan deliberately kept Enfield alive. Apart from the reasons just mentioned, there was another factor that was moved by the opponent's bravery. Fearless Vali warriors.

Joan handed over the petrified Enfield to Slude for custody, and sat at the table to examine a spoil captured from Enfield.

This is a weird weapon called "Fist Blade". It looks like a pair of gloves with only a metal skeleton, and four curved short blades more than a foot long extend from the end, like sharp hooks.
