Chapter 320 Recovery and Bombardment
Defeat/eliminate 20,000 units of Magic Empire invaders from the other side of the portal, five 4,000-man advance forces, equipped with a large number of war machines.
Destroy the cross-border portal, let them return to their world, and let the civilization of this world move forward on its own path.
There may be wars and fighting in this world, but the invaders from another world should never take away their possibility of moving forward to the future.
It is their job to return the possibility and future to the natives of this world.
It is its job.
The system silently observes, records the data, and waits for the person in charge it has sent to complete the work.
Ji Lin looked at the local war zone map in front of him, and used triangulation to estimate the distance between the artillery cruiser fleet that had begun to descend and the stone bastion that flashed light from time to time in the distance.
The attack interval of the arcane focus generator on the tower of the bastion is getting longer, and the war wizard has limited magic reserves and limited energy. This heavy weapon consumes naturally rechargeable prisms, as well as the energy and mental power in the wizards' bodies. The advantage is that there is no defect of running out of ammunition.
But the disadvantage is that it cannot output for a long time in a short unit of time.
Ji Lin recorded the opponent's firing frequency on paper and calculated how long the opponent's caster could maintain the battle.
The continuous combat time of the arcane focus generator has significant defects compared to the artillery that uses ammunition to attack. It does not rely so much on ammunition, but it requires a professionally trained mage to manipulate the energy constrained in it.
If everyone can be friendly, he sits down to negotiate with the other party and show his fighting power... These invaders who ran out of the portal can retreat back into the portal.
The two civilizations can cooperate for a long time in the future.
Then he will need to perform the mediation task.
The mediation task appears very rarely, and only some special lords can accept the tasks assigned by the system.
When two civilizations pass through the boundary gate and the system determines that they will maintain relative peace in the next thousand years, the mediation task will appear.
Go forward hand in hand and step into the stars.
Every mediation task will be posted to the lord forum by the mediator and talked about with relish, after all, it is an extremely rare task type.
On the contrary, there are clean-up missions like the one Ji Lin received.
Violence, unmodified power, can solve problems better than other factors in history. It is wishful thinking to think otherwise.
They were assigned to destroy and do their best to eliminate the negative impact of external influences on the original civilization.
After a long period of calculation, the evolutionary branch came to the conclusion that they could not coexist.
Ji Lin calculated quietly in his mind. He was the most accurate artillery commander in this unit. He became a little rusty after not fighting for a long time.
The estimated straight-line distance is 900 meters.
The lack of accompanying heavy weapons has always been a major flaw in the territory's troops.
The strongest firepower carried by the infantry is only at the level of 30mm infantry support artillery, and the projectiles cannot be delivered over long distances.
The three-kilogram crystal ore mixed explosive pack must be installed by the infantry within a few meters of the target.
Ji Lin knew very well that his current firepower could not complete the offensive battle, so he could only transfer all the airships of the Sky Island Escort Fleet to the mission and suspend all production work in the Sky Island Fragment World.
All artillery cruisers were mobilized from the Sky Island World to the mission world, a total of two formations, six cruisers equipped with 75mm shipborne artillery.
Thirty-six shipborne 75mm front-loading smoothbore guns, at an altitude of 700 meters above the ground, in the air at a point-to-point straight-line distance of 900 meters from the target.
All artillery has been calibrated, and each gunner has confirmed the target he wants to attack.
75mm artillery, six-pound gun, 900 meters. It can't destroy the thick wall, but it is enough to destroy the fragile arcane focuser.
The test attack launched by the captain and the construct lasted for an hour, and the war wizard responsible for operating the arcane focuser changed round after round.
At this time, in the bastion in the distance, the mages have not yet realized.
The limit of my own mage is coming.

"Fuck, don't these guys' constructs ever stop!"
The human mage stood on the city wall, angrily punching the stone wall next to him, and when his eyes fell on the shields that had been thrown on the ground and piled up, he showed a trace of fear.
He was right. The constructs were not created by gods. The combat peak of steam mechas and steam spiders was only extremely precious for thirty minutes.
The maintenance team is building special temporary maintenance facilities in the shadows to ensure that the constructs used on the front line can continue to fight.
For example, when you use the strategic support permission to call infantry equipment, you will be given a certain number of bullets. When the era is high, you will also be given a certain number of individual anti-tank missiles, individual anti-aircraft missiles and electronic equipment according to your organization.
Calling for construct resources, the system will also send the parts that can maintain the combat of this team of constructs to the commander.
Ji Lin was never stingy when it came to need. He used a strategic support permission to call for two teams of eighteen three-meter-high steam mechas and one team of twelve five-meter-high heavy steam mechas...most of their parts were universal.
"Don't worry, with just this kind of offensive, we can sustain it until dawn. Don't underestimate our war mages, as long as the forty-six arcane focusers currently in operation are reduced to twenty-three... "
The elf mage placed a cup of tea next to the human mage. The tea had just been brewed, and the heat was rising in the night.
"We have formulated a countermeasure. In order to save the energy consumption of the war mages, we will ignore the harassment of these iron guys."
The human mage glanced at the pointy-eared man next to him. How could he still be thinking about making tea at this time?
Except for the firelight from some burning houses, everything outside was shrouded in darkness. Compared with the previous battlefield where cries of killing were constantly heard, this made the human mage feel even more horrified.
There was a large amount of steady firelight in the distance, and he guessed that it was the camp set up by the gray-clothed soldiers... The arcane focuser couldn't reach that far.
"The order has been issued. We have measured the shooting angles of each tower. Twenty-three arcane focusing generators are enough to cover the entire area of this temporary bastion. The magic attainments in this world are still too low. They A castle built using magic is nothing more than a fragile thing."
The elf mage smiled and comforted.
"If it's a fortress we built, it won't be a problem to last for a week. We just need to rely on it to survive tonight. The mages are already trying to get in touch with the portal."
The human mage nodded, agreeing that the control of magic in this world was still too crude.
But what exactly is their enemy? They exude a sense of alienness, abandoning the subtleties of magic and turning to steel creations.
He is very sure that the other person is also a human being like himself. This is derived from human intuition.
Flash, a line of flash.
The flame ball with a slight blue luster bloomed in mid-air for no reason. The next second, the human mage realized that something existed there.
There is something there that they have overlooked.
His body had to react before his brain. He closed his hands and the spell model expanded like branches and leaves that suddenly grew.
Mage Armor - Structure, unfold.
The stagnant air, the open hexagonal blue transparent shield, and the layered mage armor instantly enveloped the entire fort.
The human mage took a deep breath, activated the amplification spell model structure, and the sound waves swept through the entire bastion.
"Enemy attack——!!!"
An arcane focusing device shattered into pieces as if it had been hit from the front by a heavy hammer, and the flickering blue-purple crystals turned into crystal clear snowflakes flying in the air.
The restrained energy was out of control, and the elemental energy of the arcane focuser turned into a mixed light group of blue, purple, and white, engulfing the war mages who had not yet reacted.
