Chapter 411 I’m Not Afraid of Your Large Quantity, I’m Just Afraid of You Not Coming

After the first group of eye demons was destroyed.

Chen Xuan keenly noticed that the monsters' offensive seemed to have slowed down.

The cannon fodder had been basically consumed.

Now most of the monsters entering the battlefield were those third-level monsters.

On the surface, the monsters were still maintaining their offensive.

But in fact, the rhythm of the attack was much slower than before.

The third-level monsters were larger, but the speed of the charge was naturally slower.

The minotaurs at the forefront slowly and firmly stepped into the area of ​​​​burning flames.

They were all protected by chaotic magic.

The huge bodies were set off in the orange flames, looking like black torches.

And these guys' steps also seemed particularly firm.

The third-level minotaurs, known for their thick skin and tough flesh, were indeed more resistant to beatings than goblins and black-striped inferior demons.

Such changes directly slowed down the rhythm of the attack on the scene.

The density of their own attacks also decreased.

Each third-level minotaurs could hold on for a short while in the hail of bullets.

But in just a short while, the results were completely different from before.

It turned out that the low-level cannon fodder monsters were like mowing the grass, and they could be seen falling in groups.

These minotaurs were like stubborn and tough bushes.

The sickle transformed by the barrage could certainly cut them off, but it was not as easy as before.

In addition, the distribution of the minotaurs was relatively loose.

This led to a slower attack rhythm on the scene.

Chen Xuan stroked his chin and figured out a hint of unusual meaning.

The monster in charge of commanding the attack this time was indeed a little bit wrong.

This was not the first time he had fought with the demons.

Even for the intelligent demon commanders, there was never a battlefield rhythm.

Basically, they were all mindless charges.

At most, they would send out one or two rounds of cannon fodder to test the intensity of the attack before the official charge.

It would never be as fierce as it was at the beginning.

Now it seemed like a deliberate delay.

Directly let 20,000 to 30,000 minotaurs enter the firing line at a normal pace.

Because it is meaningless to do so.

Even if the attack slows down a little, no minotaur can cross the burning zone and enter the front range of the battle fortress.

Instead, it can give the defenders of the thorn fortress a chance to take turns to rest.

By the way, simple maintenance and cleaning are carried out for the RPG rocket launcher and the M2 heavy machine gun at hand.

One by one, the hot barrels are removed and replaced with new parts.

In order to increase the endurance of the battle.

At the same time, Chen Xuan also found that the fog of war in the distance seemed to become thicker.

This is not a good sign.

He remotely controlled a mini tracked reconnaissance vehicle to enter the fog-covered area from the side.

At the same time, he ordered the spellcaster brigade to activate the disaster-level magic according to the situation.

Further reduce the intensity of their own counterattack.

Even asked the garrison to take turns to rest according to the preset plan.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

If the enemy moves, I will move randomly.

Since the monsters slowed down their offensive, the Magtan garrisons also slowed down.

The mini tracked reconnaissance vehicle looks similar to an ordinary remote-controlled car.

It is just slightly larger in size.

The upper part is square and about the width of two stacked shoe boxes.

It has a simple reconnaissance module, although it is not as good as a professional aerial reconnaissance pod.

It integrates a telephoto lens, an ultra-wide-angle lens, far-infrared sensors and a short-range mapping laser matrix.

It is definitely more than enough for temporary reconnaissance on the ground.

The signal relay station was set up in the thorn fortress.

This allows it to achieve a remote control range of 120 kilometers and a range of about 400 kilometers.

Folding photovoltaic panels are also laid on the top.

But now it is a moonlit night, and even if the photovoltaic panels are unfolded, it will take nearly 20 hours to fully charge in the case of excellent sunlight.

Chen Xuan doesn't even plan to recycle it.

Because it is not fast, it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth.

Therefore, Chen Xuan had no intention of recycling it at all. He would just self-destruct after collecting intelligence.

The reconnaissance vehicle was equipped with two kilograms of TNT and thermite, which was enough to melt itself into iron slag.

The area covered by the fog of war was dozens of kilometers away.

The tracked reconnaissance vehicle, which was not much bigger than a toy car, took about one or two hours to arrive.

Compared with the pterosaur drone flying in the air.

This thing was more low-key and did not attract the attention of the demons.

It shuttled from the side in a low-key manner, and occasionally a huge high-level monster would pass by,

but they all ignored this lifeless little thing.

In front of the fortress, the disaster-level magic that had been prepared long ago was formed one after another and then released directly.

It could be a rain of fire, a freezing frost, or a howling wind blade.

All these disaster-level magics could affect a radius of hundreds of meters.

It could indeed be called a disaster-like effect.

After casting hundreds of natural disaster-level magics, the minotaurs and other monsters that entered the sea of ​​fire were cleared out.

Chen Xuan asked the spellcasters to rest and wait, and not to rush to brew the next round of natural disaster-level magics.

The counterattack strength of the entire battle fortress was also reduced.

RPG and anti-tank guns are only used when high-level single monsters with hard armor appear.

The quadruple 37mm anti-aircraft guns also stopped for maintenance and upkeep.

Instead, the Bald Eagle's M242 "Viper" 25mm chain machine gun fired.

The elevation range of this machine gun is -10 to +60 degrees, and the turret can rotate 360 ​​degrees. The base number of ammunition for the shells is 420 rounds, with 210 rounds in the front and rear ammunition boxes.

The barrel length of the machine gun is 81 times the caliber, and the long barrel greatly increases its power. The best effective range against ships is 2,000 meters, the maximum range is 4,000 meters, and the effective range against air is 1,500 meters.

Large-caliber rapid-fire weapons are usually in the navy.

And the conventional 37 anti-aircraft gun has a relatively low rate of fire.

Chain machine guns like Viper are different.

In addition to being placed on ships, it is often used as a coastal defense suppression gun and a machine gun equipped on armored vehicles.

Because the firing rate of the Bushmaster is divided into multiple levels.

They are single shot, 100 rounds/min, and 200 rounds/min adjustable.

And as long as 5 parts are replaced, the maximum firing rate can be increased to 500 rounds/min.

The comprehensive service life of the gun barrel is about 8,000 rounds.

This single-unit firing rate is much faster than that of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun.

You should know that even the 37mm anti-aircraft gun after Chen Xuan's magic modification has a single-barrel single-shot firing rate of about 50 to 60 rounds per minute.

Of course, the comprehensive firing rate in the quadruple state is barely acceptable.

But it is incomparable with the Bushmaster chain machine gun.

And the Bushmaster is a machine gun that is very suitable for modification into a remote weapon station.

If the bloated problem is not considered, the magazine capacity can also be increased.

Therefore, Chen Xuan placed the Viper machine guns at the commanding heights of the tower in front of the battle fortress and several other places suitable for setting up remote weapon stations.

And all of them are remote-controlled firepower and can be controlled remotely.

Its range is also sufficient, and the maximum range under flat shooting can reach four kilometers.

The Viper chain machine guns fired one after another.

Chen Xuan saw with his own eyes that a minotaur was advancing with a wooden shield filled with chaotic magic, and then it was smashed to pieces under the "crackling" attack of the Viper chain machine gun.

It is said that this thing can even destroy tanks after being equipped with hard-core armor-piercing bullets.

Of course, it is definitely not a direct attack.

With its power, if it attacks the weak tail of the tank, there is indeed a high probability that it can break the defense and explode the fuel and ammunition in the tail compartment.

On Blue Star, where firearms technology has almost reached its peak.

There is never a lack of powerful thermal weapons.

Chen Xuan controlled the reconnaissance vehicle to move forward while observing the situation on the scene.

The enemy's slowing down of the offensive and increasing the area covered by the fog of war were both very strange.

About an hour later, more than 100,000 monsters died on the way to the charge.

The tracked mini reconnaissance vehicle finally entered the coverage area of ​​the fog of war.

The images that followed made Chen Xuan narrow his eyes.

Behind the fog of war, there were more monsters gathering from all directions!

There were so many that even the ultra-wide-angle lens of the reconnaissance vehicle could not capture them all.

It can be seen that the monster commander here is quietly and quickly gathering more monsters.

"Interesting."

"Are you planning to launch a real sea of ​​monsters tactics with an oversized number of monsters?"

"It seems that the monster commander responsible for attacking here seems to be determined to take the thorn fortress."

"Or, was that guy originally coming for me?"

Chen Xuan pondered in his heart.

Judging from the feedback in front of him, the monsters' targeting was still very clear.

The reconnaissance vehicle carefully circled along the outer perimeter.

It was found that the number of monsters that had gathered was at least more than four million.

And the gathering process had not stopped.

There were still a steady stream of monsters coming from the foggy areas behind and on both sides.

There were many monsters that even Chen Xuan had never seen.

This situation showed that the monster commander was brewing a big move against the Prismatic Fortress.

Just when Chen Xuan was about to take the risk of letting the reconnaissance vehicle pass through the feet of the densely packed monsters.

A hideous demon face suddenly appeared in front of the camera.

Without waiting for this guy to destroy the reconnaissance vehicle, Chen Xuan decisively activated the self-destruction program.

The screen instantly turned into a snowflake pattern, and there was no longer any image feedback.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered the launch of the Tomahawk cruise missile.

Most of the Tomahawks he deployed were conventional warheads.

But he also prepared a version with tactical nuclear warheads.

As the saying goes, the first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer.

Chen Xuan is not afraid of a large number of monsters, but is afraid that the monsters will not come.

Among the deployed Tomahawks, the BGM-109A land-attack nuclear attack type.

It can carry a 200,000-ton W-80-1 nuclear warhead with an adjustable equivalent.

In fact, a large cost of the Tomahawk cruise missile lies in daily maintenance.

This is especially true for the Bald Eagle, which needs to maintain a large number of weapons for a long time.

Daily maintenance almost accounts for the bulk of subsequent expenses.

For someone like Chen, who can fight as many as he can, there are not so many troubles.

He first ordered 12 conventional Tomahawks to be blindly fired at the areas covered by the fog of war in front.

It is used to explore the way, so there is no extravagant expectation of accuracy.

Without guidance support, it is not easy to make the Tomahawk cruise missile play the superiority of long-range attack, and blind firing becomes a good alternative.

First conduct blind firing test, and then launch the nuclear warhead version of the Tomahawk after the situation is roughly determined.

And in order to prevent the magic shield, it can be launched in batches, with a few seconds between the front and back, so that the first one is used to break the defense and the second one is used to kill.

The power of the mushroom egg is unquestionable.

200,000 tons of equivalent is not small, in the face of such a large-scale lethal weapon.

The magic sea tactics are a joke.

Originally, Chen Xuan did not intend to use this trick so soon.

But since the monsters have begun to gather on a large scale.

Then there is no point for him to continue to hold back, not to mention that the mushroom egg itself has more than one specification, from tactical nuclear warheads with an equivalent of several thousand tons to strategic nuclear warheads with an equivalent of hundreds of thousands or even millions of tons.

He can release them one by one at that time.

12 Tomahawks were launched quickly, choosing the fog area for blind firing.

Chen Xuan personally watched them rise to the sky with their gushing trajectories.

The distance of more than 100 kilometers can finally play a little bit of their range advantage.

These missiles flew to the destination at a speed of 0.74 Mach.

Equivalent to 905 kilometers per hour.

A distance of more than 100 kilometers can be crossed in just a few minutes.

It is already beyond visual range.

However, after the Tomahawk cruise missile fell and exploded, Chen Xuan still vaguely saw twelve balls of fire rising.

The fog of war was cleared, and a large area of ​​black monsters was vaguely exposed.

Chen Xuan nodded. He was not sure whether it was the core area of ​​the monsters.

But it didn't matter.

Under the bombardment of the Tomahawk, a black chaotic magic shield could be seen emerging.

"According to the previous blind firing parameters."

"Launch the nuclear warhead."

"7 seconds interval."

Chen Xuan issued a new order from the intercom again.

Immediately, another thicker Tomahawk flew into the sky.

After only 7 seconds, the second missile of the same type was launched.

There were also seven or eight Tomahawk cruise missiles carrying conventional warheads mixed in.

It played the role of mixing the real with the fake.

Preventing the monsters from consciously intercepting.

The tentative attack just now naturally caused a commotion among the monsters.

Including the Blasphemous Charm Oga, who was stationed deeper in the core area.

It was a little surprised that the other party had the means to hit so far.

But that was all.

Because the explosions were scattered.

Most of them were directly blocked by the chaotic magic shield.

So it didn't take it to heart.

It just silently remembered that the Edged Thorn Fortress had long-range attack means.

At the same time, it ordered all units to maintain the chaotic magic shield.

She was located in an open area more than ten kilometers away in the core area.

She was observing the situation of the battlefield and the assembly area in real time.

She didn't care about the long-range attacks that came again.

In her opinion, it would be easier to use the shield to resist than to intercept actively.

But she didn't expect that it was this calmness that made it see an unforgettable scene in its life! (End of this chapter)
