Chapter 475 On the Path (2.6k)

The splattered broken wood, the bright red blood flowing along the deck, the diffuse toxic gas, and the blood mist left in mid-air by the limbs torn apart by bullets.

The arriving firepower split the deck. The rune armor that the elves were proud of was as fragile as paper in the face of anti-armor firearms. Custom-made armor-piercing bullets broke the spears and destroyed the shields.

There are no disadvantages except that it is expensive.

The dust from the large-caliber firearms mixed with the smoke bombs that had already begun to spread, covering most of the upper deck of the aerospace ship.

To make matters worse, today was a sunny and windless day.

In the smoke screen, He Xie was lucky to have only his right arm torn off, and a large number of lord's stumps were scattered unevenly around him.

The flickering blue light began to recycle the biomass of the elves and lords. The bullet marks on the ground, the blood flowing and gathering, and the damaged equipment became proof of their existence.

These lords who have never experienced the age of fire are now using their lives to feel the power from the age of fire.

Direct air-to-ground fire suppression.

Ling Bo, who was even more fortunate, only suffered some scratches. He fell to the ground and looked at the purple light flashing from time to time in the smoke screen not far away with a little fear.

But they soon learned that dying early, without having to face more despair, was not necessarily a bad thing.

Most of the remaining elite elf guards still stood faithfully in front of the lords, protecting them from possible dangers in the fog. Sufficient training allowed them to maintain their front line even if their numbers were reduced by more than 50% in time.

Iron Army.

An elite army that has endured heavy casualties and yet has not collapsed.

Six rounds of rapid fire destroyed half of the combat effectiveness of the elite elf guards. The surviving elf guards stepped over the corpses of their comrades to hold on to the defense line.

"Hold the line!"

Fight to the death and never retreat.

They raised rune shields that completely resisted flintlock bullets of the same era. The lightweight rune tower shields allowed them to move forward against the firepower of line infantry, overwhelming the enemy's line with absolute close combat advantage.

It is their rule not to take a step back.

"X, that's too much!"

The surviving lord exhaled a breath of turbidity and cursed angrily. He felt that the reaction of his limbs was so slow after breathing in the smoke screen... It was all the sequelae of the blow to him.

Although they said this, they still retreated slowly, using the cover of the smoke screen to retreat to the island of the skyship.

There was a supporting mecha team that had not yet been activated. The six-meter-tall mecha gave people a sense of security just by standing there.

In addition to the elite elf guards, the ship also has a large number of scout units. Scouts are indispensable in hunting missions... They can even exercise the abilities of the scouts in this safe actual combat.

Beneficial and harmless.

Scouts/fast reconnaissance units from various races are on standby at the bottom of the three skyships, but only the elf scouts can travel through the forest with their combat effectiveness and extremely high movement speed.

Other scouts who are too weak in combat effectiveness will be eaten as snacks by dangerous creatures on the sky island just by traveling through the forest.

At this time, these fast scouts were rushing from the second deck to the top deck of the skyship, preparing to avenge their lord.

Unlike those lords who had not yet suffered losses, He Xie looked at his death panel with an extremely ugly expression.

The air strikes stopped, but the casualties of the elite elf guards did not stop...the number of troops was still decreasing rapidly after the air strikes ended.

Becomes a number on the casualty panel of the system.

There was something in the fog that was killing the most elite elves under him. The elves were being strangled in the clouds before they could take advantage of the technical and physical advantages they were proud of.

He realized that he had not heard a scream from the fog so far. The only thing that could prove that there was something moving in the fog was the occasional flash of purple light.

Something is wrong.

The anti-encirclement troops that came forward were not disturbed by any fire strikes because they deployed in advance.

There was no sound, just the growing number of dead.

It was also shrouded in the surrounding arcane defense forts, and the elf mage he arranged on top of the arcane defense forts had not had time to let them evacuate!

Arcane cannons require gunners just like normal cannons, but unlike normal cannons, people with spell talents can become operators of arcane cannons.

Damn it, why did I forget this?

Ship-based fixed artillery...

"Monster! Monster...help me!"

In the fog, a female elf wearing a white-gold robe staggered out of the increasingly dense gray fog.

He Xie recognized the elf girl. She was a newly promoted mage in his territory. She was a very talented child... who might have a chance to become a team leader.

The gleaming rune sword penetrated her chest and nailed the pretty elf directly to the ground, causing her to cast her pleading eyes on the silver-white tower shield array.

Gloves wrapped in gray leather held the rune sword stuck on the elf girl's back. The human figure wearing a crow mask walked out of the fog and waved it down in front of the elf guards and lords.

A sword pointed at the head.

His eyes fell on the lords in the center, those who were obviously human but had a lot of alien characteristics.

"Humans... merged with elves... merged with dwarves... merged with alien species... but you gave up your identity as a human being... transformed part of your body into the body of a foreign race..."

"The traitor...should die..."

The crow's long beak was lowered, and the cold light reflected under the lens disappeared into the mist again before the elf guard drew his bow.

The last fort garrisoned mage died.

In the fog.

The night crows are accurately and quickly clearing a safe landing site for the troops who are about to land. The source of matter is input into the toxic smoke screen generator on their bodies, which generates a large amount of paralyzing poisonous smoke screen to build a safe area.

The use of spells can generate normal smoke screens that block sight, and the Night Crows' improved special devices can also generate a large number of corresponding smoke screens around them according to their needs.

These smoke screens that switch according to different combat goals can be extremely effective in assisting Night Crow in his own battle... There is no smoke screen interference in the world under the lens.

Fifteen minutes into the battle, all the anti-encirclement troops that came forward were wiped out, and all the mage troops stationed in the arcane fort were wiped out.

"Sir! The other two skyships are already approaching us... We can prepare for docking!"

His adjutant shouted to him that the other two skyships began to approach after sensing something was wrong. The three ships that were not far away needed simple adjustments to connect them together.

He Xie gritted his teeth and forced his thoughts to reset from his recent death.

No, you can't get closer... If you get closer, you'll...

Will land!

He Xie's mind flashed, and he realized that the reason why the other party only provided fire support was because he was afraid that the ship-based artillery on his skyship would support each other.

Artillery is still the king of war, and its own artillery still poses a sufficient threat to them.

If we are connected together, we will lose the advantage of mutual fire cover. As long as we are not connected together, we can still use the shipboard firepower of other sky ships to ensure that the other party does not engage in close combat!

The shortcomings of the shooting angle allow the turret to rotate at a smaller angle, and their turret cannot fire in a full range like the arcane light flow.

Anger, rage consumed his sanity.

The elf girl in his territory died in front of him. Even though he knew that she would be resurrected, this execution-like execution instantly ignited the anger of him and the elves under him.

This is outright contempt.

There is no contempt for treating oneself as a human being.

No communication, no notices, just constant attacks.

Everything in its path must be crushed.

Is he still afraid of the opponent's landing force of less than twenty aerospace ships with the thousands of troops in his hands?

You must make the other party pay the price.

"Thank you! Some of my young dragon troops have returned!"

No problem.

Lingbo saw through the partially dispersed smoke screen that some of the dragons in the distance were flapping their wings and flying back to the ship. Most of them were dragons without long-range capabilities. After discovering that they were useless in the battle, they rushed back to assist the command ship. .

I still have enough young dragon support and mechas to assist me in combat, so why am I not qualified to engage in a boarding battle?

Then let's fight for strength. After connecting with the ship, he will have a large number of troops available... The other party voluntarily gives up air superiority and is willing to connect with the ship, which is what he wants!

Isn't it just that the bayonet is red?

"Order the second and third ships to approach immediately."

He looked at the dark gray fleet falling from the sky into the smoke screen at extremely fast speeds.

The enemy is coming.
