Chapter 572 Close Combat (Part 3)

Thinking about it, Zhou Quan still had to consider how to deal with these people.

He was the ‘lucky one’ who was noticed, while the other lords who were not noticed were still cannon fodder on the front line.

Fortunately, because he joined the Holy See early, no one could interfere with his management for the time being, and anyway, these new knights were in the same camp with him.

Although nominally he assisted other priests in managing the newly joined lords, he was once one of the lords, and the priests knew nothing about managing these lords... The authority in Zhou Quan’s hands was greater than he thought.

However, whenever he recalled the rain of fire that fell on the earth that night, the slight sense of security that this power brought him could not help but disappear. The enemy he had to face had no reason at all.

He was attacked by 152mm rapid-fire heavy artillery on the battlefield where he should have used line infantry to line up and shoot.

It was really a ghost.

He was also taken to see the attackers' landing point, the square where the Church originally stored the cloud whales.

There were a large number of small bunkers formed by temporary tower shields scattered on the ground, and a large number of brass shells scattered around the bunkers. The attackers had no intention of hiding their technology.

The main force of the Church took away some shells and said they wanted to reverse study the technology used by the enemy. Zhou Quan also helped to integrate a new rifle structure and handed it to the Church.

But it was not completely... completely the same as the world he was in.

In human wars, there were no bloodthirsty vines like iron thorns, which dragged soldiers into the vines like living things and strangled the target through the contraction behavior similar to that of a python.

All live iron nets naturally withered within 72-144 hours after deployment, leaving the Church with only a pile of dead iron objects.

The attackers came from the sky, and Zhou Quan also saw the airships being assembled near the portal, but because the main force of the Church was quite hostile to them, the lords, he was unable to get close to take a look.

The huge modules visible to the naked eye were transported from the other side of the portal, and the main body of the five-story floating ship was built on the helipad near the portal like building blocks.

The Church has its own air force and even its own fleet.

Zhou Quan heard the commotion outside the tent, and he hurriedly got up from his chair.

This group of knights has fought more than once over the issue of resource allocation during this period. The old Teutonic Knights, who were torn down from the Rhine defense line, are even more disgusted with the people of the George Cross Knights hiding behind them.

They are united, but not completely united. A little spark can make the two lords throw white gloves and pick up weapons to fight each other.

There is a bit of hostility. There is no need to drag on things that can be solved by fighting.

The lord will not die, and Zhou Quan does not want to care about them, but it is unsightly for the two to come out again after fighting each other... There are not only lords in the camp, but also a considerable number of vanguards.

This will make the paladins and other priests feel that there is something wrong with his management.

"What are you yelling about? If you want resources, throw them to the quartermaster at the quartermaster's office. Don't pile them up here."

He saw the light cavalry outside the tent. It's not like he hasn't seen a light cavalry team that suffered heavy losses. Low-intensity light cavalry battles can cause more than a hundred casualties every day.

But the light cavalry that withdrew back were different from the others. They didn't have penetrating wounds caused by the large-caliber bullets of the Eastern Alliance, but there were a lot of traces of flames burning.

The clothes and furs of the cavalry and horses all had yellowish curls, and some of the cavalry had obvious charred marks...The high-temperature fireballs swept through their bodies, but they were extremely lucky to save their lives.

A new way of attack.

Did they encounter a battle mage?

Zhou Quan thought.

Only the fireballs of the mages can cause such large-scale charred injuries...and other weapons that can cause such injuries.

If it is a weapon like a flamethrower, the contagious flame will not be limited to one area, and there will be no signs of diffusion. As for the shells, you can only find charred marks on the dead. Before the burns act on you, the shock wave and shrapnel can kill the soldiers.

Perhaps it would be better to ask this cavalry team that just retreated from the battlefield.

The lords surrounding the cavalry team made way for Zhou Quan, the temporary councillor.

"Feng Ryan."

The light cavalry officer who led the team got off his horse. The dark red uniform he wore looked a little gloomy in the sun.

The lords of the Knights chose for a long time and finally chose this dark red uniform to distinguish them from the red and white troops of the Church.

"We encountered a mecha unit built with magic. They are equipped with a large number of rapid-fire fireball generators, which caused serious damage to my cavalry team... I think it is necessary to report this news to you as soon as possible."

He said.

"I am very sure that we have encountered a new enemy."
