Chapter 593: Iron Torrent
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom"
The sound of artillery resounded throughout the mechanical city.
Ji Xun went to watch the battle.
Catalina led Darcy and Isabel to the command room.
When the three of them arrived, the command room was already busy. Dozens of imagers transmitted the images of the major fortresses near the base, and the staff were using communicators to command the troops outside to fight.
Busy and orderly.
"Commander!"
As soon as Catalina came in, everyone saluted.
Everyone also knew Ji Xun's two disciples, and their eyes were full of kindness.
Catalina immediately entered the command state and made battle deployments efficiently and accurately.
The Duke Simon's Mansion had been prepared for a long time. The hundreds of thousands of elite troops assembled launched a full-line charge, and the first line of defense outside the headquarters had already engaged the enemy.
In the projection screen, there were countless artillery fires, and various colors of magic flames flashed like fireworks.
On the other side, the offensive team of the Duke Simon's Legion was obviously lagging behind.
Although they had some mechanical equipment bought on the black market, they were all outdated products discarded by the Allies, and the performance gap was huge.
The main force of the Dragon Legion still relied on traditional magic equipment for siege.
They drove slaves to push mobile magic towers, siege hammers, catapults, and troop carriers to the front line of the battlefield.
In the southern continent, these were already the top large-scale siege equipment.
These equipment were enough to cause devastating damage to the most magnificent cities in war.
But that was the southern continent.
Compared with mechanical artillery, how come the magic tower is like an old antique.
Whether in terms of range, number or attack frequency, the two are not at the same level at all.
The range of ordinary artillery is easily 10 to 20 kilometers, not to mention those super-large caliber cannons.
And the range of magic towers above the seventh floor can only reach 10 kilometers.
In terms of firepower coverage, the gap between the two sides is even greater.
And the cost of launching mechanical artillery may be only one thousandth of that of magic towers.
If it weren't for the expensive energy barrier protection, those old antiques would have been blown apart by artillery before they entered their range.
The first wave of cannon fodder slaves of Duke Simon's army fell into a passive situation covered by artillery clusters almost as soon as they entered the range.
But after all, the battle lasted for so long, and the enemy had already prepared countermeasures.
In the image of the display, in the large white smoke from the artillery explosion, a group of [Triangle Ironback Dragons] with metal armor as big as a hill were slowly rushing out against the shells; in the sky, a group of flying dragons rushed in quickly, spewing dragon breath and throwing magic bombs to attack the artillery positions, with extremely strong mobility; there were also war mammoths, iron-skinned dragon rhinos, mixed-blood behemoths and other giant monsters carrying siege equipment also rushed in fiercely
Both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages, and it was a fight back and forth.
Darcy on the side watched quietly.
Although this mushroom-head was in contact with war command for the first time, there was no surprise in his eyes, only a calmness that did not match his age.
As if he had a natural ability to plan and lay out strategies, the battle scenes in his eyes automatically gathered into a chessboard-like game scene in his mind, and he also deduced it.
Isabel was the most favored lady of the Iris Corps, so she had naturally seen wars.
But it was also her first time to see the war of the Mechanical Corps.
Everything in the command room was extremely new to her.
After all, most of the communications in the southern continent still rely on domesticated owls, and only a few large legions have some magical communication relics.
The Allied Headquarters, however, has a dazzling variety of monitoring equipment.
The communicator can efficiently transmit orders to every combatant, the thermal life detector can accurately analyze the number of enemy troops, and even the dragon power level can be monitored to accurately determine the rank of enemy generals.
The Allied Headquarters has the top military equipment in the entire plane, which also opened Isabel's eyes and quietly put away the innate arrogance in her heart.
She also understood the deep meaning of the words her father asked her to study hard when she left home before.
Mechanical technology is a major trend that cannot be ignored in the future battlefield. The Iris Corps needs a leader who truly understands mechanical technology.
Catalina also saw the performance of the two people.
The two legions launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle around the major positions of the Red Ridge Mountains.
The battles of the nobles in the southern continent are basically the same process. First, a large number of slave legions are used to level some minefields and prohibitions.
The elite charge comes later.
The scene is tragic and bloody. Tens of thousands of slaves were blown to pieces and blood and flesh flew everywhere under the coverage of artillery.
This fight lasted for half a day.
The two sides have fought many times before. The positions of the coalition forces are like hard tortoise shells. Even beasts with good teeth will lose their teeth.
Often, after some slave cannon fodders die and the attackers see that they cannot attack for a long time, they will choose to retreat.
But this time, the Duke Simon's Mansion seems to have made up his mind to take down the Allied Headquarters, and the momentum of the charge has never stopped.
Gradually, seventh- and eighth-level dragons also appeared on the battlefield.
They pierced through the Allied defenses like sharp knives, and the two sides started fighting in some areas.
Intelligence showed that the Simon family was determined to devour the Allied forces and monopolize the mechanical technology.
So they came with three eighth-level green dragons, plus mercenaries and other noble masters invited one after another, there are almost a dozen eighth-level ones.
The top combat power has completely crushed the Allied Forces.
After all, the Allied Forces only have four Titan armors. Even if the Titans can withstand a few top-level card masters, the remaining ones are enough to pose a fatal threat to the Allied Forces.
But the quality is not enough, but the quantity can make up for it.
In the war, the top-level card masters either have to be resisted by strong people of the same level, or besieged at a cost of dozens of times.
The Allied Forces do not have so many top masters, but they have a large number of mechanical armors.
The battle formation composed of twelve hunting god-level armors can basically withstand the attack of the eighth-level card masters.
Last time, although Katarina used thirty hunting god armors and Ji Xun to cooperate to ambush and kill the eighth-level leader of the "Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group" "Poison Scythe" Zuo Las. But now, because there is a lot of data reference, twenty-four will have a chance to kill. With more numbers, it can also form a more powerful steel torrent.
What's more important is that the Allied Forces have a steady stream of logistical support from the New World Science and Technology City.
The Allied Forces headquarters has the [Space Stone] that Ji Xun brought back last time to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, so every day a large number of mechanical equipment that has just come off the production line is directly transmitted from the New World Science and Technology City in the East Wilderness.
Not to mention those black technologies, the number of God Hunter armors that can participate in the war alone exceeds 300!
This is already a terrifying number, enough to sweep away most of the lords of the Old Continent today.
The noble coalition on the side of Duke Simon has no idea of the real situation on the Allied side.
Although the God Hunter mechanical armor also has high requirements for the mechanics who operate it, it is less difficult to train a God Hunter-level mechanic than to train a top card master.
Whether it is a protracted war or a blitzkrieg, in fact, the noble coalition has no chance of winning from the beginning.
The difference lies in the losses on the Allied side.
The battle entered a white-hot stage when the noble coalition of Simon's family began to charge at all costs.
"Titan No. 1 and No. 2 go to the west to support the Shining Gold Post!"
"Titan No. 3 and No. 4 also attack, go to the Blackwater Mine to stop the three eighth-level ones. The enemy is deliberately trying to lure us to split up, so let them succeed!"
"The fifth and seventh God Hunter Mechanical Corps are ready to attack at any time!"
"."
War is not just a battle between soldiers on both sides, but also a game of wisdom between the two counselors.
In the command room, Catalina calmly issued a series of orders.
The tactics of the noble corps are already very clear. The previous ninth-level green dragon seemed to have no results in harassment, but in fact it was confirmed that the Allied forces only had four Titan armors.
Now the enemy is attacking from multiple sides. Unless the Allied forces give up their defenses and shrink their fronts, they will definitely be defeated one by one.
Catalina did not give the enemy a chance. She directly sent out all four Titan armors and took the initiative to expose the headquarters, which seemed to be the weakest.
In this way, even if the enemy knew there was something fishy, they would definitely send top-level strongmen to attack.
The battle was very fast. Almost as soon as the four Titans appeared on the battlefield, the elite knights of Simon's family were seen near the Allied headquarters.
Those guys who turned into dragons suddenly flew out of the fog of war, and the high-pitched dragon roars resounded throughout the Allied headquarters.
"Commander, the dragon power level is level 16. In the southwest, the enemy's eighth-level eighth-level has appeared. From the wave frequency analysis, there are at least four eighth-level dragons!"
"The sentinels ahead have confirmed the enemy's eighth-level identity, Simon's "two-headed poisonous dragon" Hatgemu, the white dragon Haruman of the Frozen Spear Mercenary Group, and the "flash" Yum of the Frostblood Marquis's family and an unknown eighth-level bronze dragon."
"The fifth and seventh hunter mechanical legions are all on the move! The eighth, ninth, eleventh, and fifteenth legions are waiting for orders!"
"[Hunter Cannon] starts charging, always ready for the sneak attack of the ninth-level green dragon!"
"Yes! Commander! ”
“.”
In the projected image, tens of thousands of elite dragonborn suddenly appeared.
The flying speed of the dragonborn after transformation was extremely fast. Even if the anti-aircraft artillery position lit up high-frequency flames at the first time, the threat to them was very limited.
With four eighth-level and tens of thousands of elites coming at once, it seemed that they were ready to break through the Allied headquarters in one go.
Katrina was still not panicked at all, and her beautiful eyes were shining with bright moonlight.
Even though the battle situation was so chaotic, it was still in the original plan.
On the side, the mushroom-headed Darcy's ears trembled slightly, as if he wanted to analyze the effect of each command from the mixed sounds in the command room that were already noisy like a vegetable market.
Isabelle has already She was so nervous that her fists clenched slightly.
Dragonborns are naturally afraid of those who are higher in rank than themselves. Although the mechanical city blocked most of the dragon power, just watching the ferocious eighth-level dragons attacking on the screen also gave her young heart a huge shock.
These are all high-ranking nobles in the southern continent. Others may not know them, but she knows them.
It is because of her knowledge that Isabel knows how terrifying these people are.
It can be said that even if she has to face them, she has to be careful.
However, at this moment, she looked at the mechanics in the screen, who were only a few at the sixth level, controlling the mechanical armors one by one, and rushed towards the top powerhouses of the southern continent without fear.
The collision between the steel torrent and the flying dragon army was so intense that it made people's breath freeze.
Dragon breaths of ice, fire, poison, and wind elements swept across the entire battlefield like a tornado.
The various magic artillery on the mechanical armor also fired back without hesitation.
Violent shock waves swept across the entire battlefield, and even the Allied headquarters trembled like an earthquake.
The shock waves grew higher and higher, and the screen in the command room cut off the signal from time to time. In a blink of an eye, it was reconnected to the first perspective of the armor commander.
Four eighth-level dragonborn and thousands of knight legions fought head-on on the battlefield with two hunting god mechanical legions and more than a dozen mechanical brigades.
It was obvious that the Dragonborn had the upper hand.
Probably when the enemy command felt that they were ready to attack the Allied headquarters, two more eighth-level dragonborn and tens of thousands of elite reinforcements appeared on the battlefield.
The battle immediately became extremely intense.
The eighth-level dragonborn is extremely lethal to the mechanical legion. The dragon's breath that carries the high-level laws can easily melt steel.
The artillery positions near the headquarters were destroyed one by one, and the legion also suffered a large number of casualties, showing faint signs of defeat.
However, Catalina remained unmoved and observed everything calmly.
Suddenly, she thought of something, turned her head and glanced at Ji Xun's two disciples, and asked, "What do you think should be done next?"
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Of course she knew what Ji Xun meant by leaving the two little guys here. She was called "Master's Mother", and of course she was generous with her advice.
Isabel was obviously confused by this question: "Huh? Me"
This noble lady obviously had no idea. Even looking at the battle situation on the screen, she felt that the Allies were likely to be defeated.
But it’s hard to say it.
The mushroom-headed Darcy on the side thought for a moment and responded seriously: "Master Mother, since you have lured these people closer to the headquarters, you should be planning to attack with the entire army."
"oh?"
Catalina glanced at Mushroom Head and asked with a smile: "Why do you say that? Do you think we can win if we attack with the whole army?"
In order to keep it secret, except for a few high-level officials, no one else knows the true number of machines in the coalition.
She heard that Darcy was so sure, and of course she was curious about how the mushroom head knew.
"Yeah. Of course I can win."
Darcy said with great certainty: "When I visited the aircraft base yesterday, I saw the fuel supply data prepared by the logistics, as well as the number of Hunter God armor parts in operation in the workshop. I roughly guessed that there should be about three hundred units at the headquarters. Hunter God Armor later. I also visited the training of the mechanics. Judging from the tactics they practiced, a battle group of twelve mechas, or two or three groups, could reliably kill an eighth-level Titan suit. It is to attract the enemy and divide the troops. In fact, it is to contain the enemy. The two wings were blocked, preventing them from reinforcing the battlefield on the headquarters side, and also misleading the enemy. The current effect was as expected, with five eighth-level dragonborns appearing on the headquarters side. God's armor is enough to defeat them Apart from the hundred or so Hunting God armors that have appeared in other positions, there should be two hundred more at the headquarters. This already has an absolutely crushing combat power. Now that the enemy has entered the ambush circle, the entire army will attack. , the enemy certainly has no chance of winning."
After hearing these words, Catalina couldn't help but a flash of surprise flashed through her crystal eyes, and she praised, "Not bad."
Although there were some minor discrepancies in the details, she was very surprised to be able to observe this step.
For a normal person, Catalina would definitely think that Ji Xun had explained something to the mushroom head in advance.
But thinking about being a "Light Chaser", I seem to understand.
Isabel on the side looked confused when she heard this: "???"
Why does my junior brother know so much?
I obviously visited with him yesterday, why didn't I see so much information?
Could it be that the teacher is making a fuss?
Before the girl could think more, the mushroom-headed Darcy said again: "But this is only the 'first step'."
"oh?"
When Catalina heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Darcy said: "Well, because in this way, the enemy's main force is trapped. Unless they break through at any cost, someone must come to the rescue. As long as the teacher and my wife are here, ordinary reinforcements will not suffice!"
Talking about the strategic layout, he seemed to have entered an emotionless analytical machine state, and said: "If the ninth-level green dragon of the Simon family does not want to see his descendants suffer heavy losses and never recover from the fall, he will probably Only when the giant dragon appears will the dragon-slaying plan prepared by you and the teacher be effective."
"Haha. Not bad."
When Catalina heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is really a gift.
No wonder the Silver Moon Sect suffered heavy losses at the hands of its predecessor, the Light Chaser, but now it turns out that the "Light Chaser" was really so outrageous from the beginning.
Listening to her junior brother's talk, but she couldn't get in a word, Isabel felt deeply complicated in her heart.
For the first time, she felt the frustration of being crushed by others in terms of talent.
Yesterday's competition was just a draw.
Why is there such a big gap in strategic layout?
It seemed that from this moment on, the pride of the pure blood dragonborn in her heart had disappeared.
Before she could think about it, Catalina gave the order: "Attack the entire army!"
As Darcy analyzed, the previous defeat was just to lure the enemy deeper.
At Catalina's command, the heavy mechanical door of the coalition headquarters opened, and more than 200 hunter mechas from several legions and countless other models of mechas poured into the battlefield like a tide.
Not only that, the defense and attack devices of the mechanical city itself also showed their fangs, and countless artillery pieces were protruding like barbs.
What others don't know is that the entire "Dragon Hunter Mechanical City" itself is a huge Titan-class armor!
This sudden influx of steel reversed the situation of both sides of the war.
Originally, the Allied side was beaten by tens of thousands of elite knights led by six eighth-level dragons, and the ground was full of mechanical fragments, but unexpectedly, several times the number of mechanical legions joined the battle.
Twelve hunter god armors gathered in the city team and rushed towards those seventh- and eighth-level top-level dragons at the first time.
Various alloy chains were projected from the mechanical city and armor like spider webs.
Physical control is the best way to deal with the transformed dragonborn. Once locked, it will be a series of moves, and there is almost no possibility of escape.
It's like throwing a fishing net into the water, and the chains are shooting randomly. The giant dragons that just ravaged in the sky were trapped by a large number of steel cables, and they were dodging in panic.
Caught off guard, two eighth-levels were trapped immediately.
What greeted them was the armor riding face output.
The noble coalition forces of Duke Simon's Mansion were all stunned, and they realized that they were tricked.
But it's not their fault for underestimating the enemy, but there was no intelligence at all!
After all, almost all the information about the East Wasteland came from the Iris Corps, and no one thought that they had formed an alliance with the Allied Forces long ago.
Moreover, Iris had long withdrawn from the East Wasteland and cut off contact. Everyone in the South Road had no idea what the current situation in the East Wasteland was.
Now I see that the enemy's strength is far beyond imagination.
But in this situation, they can't retreat even if they want to.
Once they retreat, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if they can survive, the Duke Simon's Mansion will no longer be able to dominate the Old World in the future.
Therefore, they can only fight to the death and the winner takes all!
And they also know that there is also the ninth-level green dragon!
The dragons fought to the death, and the Allied Mechanical Corps also expected this. The battle between the two sides really entered the most tragic situation at this moment.
The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
However, due to the gap in combat power, the casualties on the Dragonborn side were getting bigger and bigger.
It seems that as long as the fierce battle continues, the Allied forces will eventually be able to defeat these Dragonborn Knight Corps.
At this moment, on a rock not far from the battlefield, a figure has been watching the battle for a while.
He sat there from beginning to end, but no one noticed.
It was Ji Xun.
Looking at the law of war that was manifested in front of him, Ji Xun's eyes flashed with thought, and countless thoughts were deduced in his mind.
Suddenly, he looked to the northwest as if he noticed something, and said to himself: "Tsk, is he finally here?"
As expected, if the ninth-level green dragon "Plague Dragon" Redgerie didn't want to watch his descendants and family being wiped out, he would definitely come to help.
Even if the dragon's cunning let it know that there was something fishy, it would definitely come.
Because the ninth-level dragon already has the ability to look down on all enemies below the god level.
This is the guy Ji Xun is waiting for.
"Ang"
Before the figure arrived, a high-pitched dragon roar had resounded throughout the battlefield.
The terrifying pressure of the ninth-level dragon swept everyone's heart, as if the war was paused. For a moment, everyone's shocked eyes looked at the distant sky.
The green dragon belongs to the small dragon family, but even so, its wingspan is a full 100 meters.
The green dragon's dark green scales shone with a metallic texture under the light of the artillery.
It was as fast as lightning, and it had already flown over the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The morale of the Simon Legion was instantly boosted.
The speed of the ninth-level dragon was so fast that the artillery could not even lock on it, and it had already flown in front of it.
It was fast and flexible, like a shark in the sea in the air.
The spider-web-like rune cables in the mechanical city were also launched, but almost all of them missed.
Even if it was tied up, the highly corrosive venom of the green dragon's breath could easily melt the rune chains.
This was why the Allied forces were completely helpless before.
It was impossible to keep it, and there was no possibility of killing it at all.
When the "plague dragon" Redgrie came, he spewed a mouthful of acid dragon breath, and instantly corroded a hundred-meter-long river of venom on the ground.
Wherever the venom passed, whether it was a mecha or a dragon, it was all corroded into mud.
Countless artillery missiles hit the dark green scales, and there was no threat except for some flashes of fire.
This poisonous dragon was already invincible on the battlefield.
Seeing that no one could stop it, it turned cunning in its eyes and rushed straight towards the mechanical city.
The mechanical city had opened the offensive device before, just like a turtle with its head exposed, exposing many gaps that could be broken through by acid.
As long as it could tear a breakthrough, it could drive straight in and completely destroy this iron city.
However, no one expected that just after the poisonous dragon spit out a breath of dragon breath towards the mechanical city and corroded several turrets, a ghostly figure quietly appeared behind the huge dragon body.
The keen perception of "Plague Dragon" Redgerie certainly noticed the person who suddenly appeared behind him.
But it had long suspected an ambush, and its eyes were filled with disdain.
It wanted to leave, but a mere human could not stop it, even if it was a ninth-level one.
However, before it could rejoice, it suddenly heard the death urging voice of the god of death: "The Secret of Magic: Supernatural Powers!"
Instantly, Redgri's ferocious dragon face showed a look of shock.
Because it sensed a terrifying and strange gravity, which pulled its body and made it fall to the ground!
