Chapter 580: The Edge of the Bayonet (V)

"Water, do you want it?"

The Elf Cavalry took a water bag from the Falcon's waist and handed it to Xu Yan, who was sitting on the ground panting. He looked at the man on the cloud leaning on the leg of his mecha, silently staring at the camp with a red and white cross flag in the distance.

The first to arrive at the battlefield was not the ground cavalry, which took time to assemble the troops, an hour's journey.

It was the nearest Elf Falcon Air Cavalry.

The Falcon Cavalry, with its wings spread, descended from the sky, used the rifles in its hands to force back the approaching Vatican troops, and used its fragile flesh and blood as a barrier to block the mecha troops of the Ring Island Alliance.

A temporary line of defense was supported by weak firepower to cover Xu Yan and his lords to retreat.

As long as you can afford the price, there will always be a support force that can arrive at the battlefield at the fastest speed.

The Falcon Air Cavalry, which arrived at the battlefield first, used its life to buy Xu Yan a crucial 20 minutes of retreat time, saving the remaining half of the mecha stationed in the mine and the only remaining command level of the Ring Island Alliance on the ground.

"Thank you."

Xu Yan licked his lips that were cracked due to dryness. He didn't know whether it was caused by excessive use of strength or the overheating of the cockpit due to the exhaustion of the coolant.

Next time, he had to ask the alliance to park three airships on his mining station and use the ship-borne arcane artillery on them to provide him with fire support.

If there were three cruisers floating over his head to provide fire support, this group of people would not be able to rush into the ground mining station even if they tripled. The six naval guns on the side alone could send all these people to the sky.

Although the ship-borne arcane artillery is not as good as the 152 standard naval gun of the standard mining industry, it is still okay to get a 105mm kill.

It's just that the armor-piercing kill is lower than that of the 105 shells, and there is basically no fragmentation kill, but it has a huge thermal kill range and is very good at creating large-scale thermal kill.

After developing the excellent platform of airships, the Ring Island Alliance completely abandoned the traditional towed artillery and turned to more maneuverable ship-borne artillery.

Since the end of the artillery is mobile artillery, it's good to do it in one step.

"You're welcome. This is a hire. Our lord immediately sent us out when he received your request for help... Do we need to retreat a little further? The falcons should be able to grab your shoulders and fly back."

The elf cavalry tidied up the forged plate armor on his body, put the rifle on his back again, and looked at the occupied camp three kilometers away and asked Xu Yan who was sitting on the ground.

Three kilometers, not far, not close.

The main reason for their stop is that some people's arcane mechas have suffered serious wear and tear in continuous combat. Overloaded running caused joint wear and tear, and they almost crashed on the spot.

"Take a break first, my people need some time to repair the mecha..."

In the previous contact combat, the fifth-era special mechas they drove had been damaged in different situations. The onboard shield helped them block a large number of spell attacks... but they couldn't deal with the special assault infantry rushing up to their faces.

In close combat, he used a two-meter-long spear to pierce his mecha along the gap of the mecha. His combat skills could cut off the arm of the rock element with one knife. He needed to give feedback to the allies so that they could be prepared to suppress the enemy with long-range firepower instead of hand-to-hand combat.

The enemy is good at hand-to-hand combat, so he should avoid meaningless hand-to-hand combat as much as possible and suppress the enemy with the heavy firepower of the allies.

You can't change the mecha you drive into the omnidirectional defense of a tank, right? And even if a tank is attached to the side and installed with three kilograms, it will be a disaster. It will also be unbearable to be hit by a Molotov cocktail in the blind spot.

"At least it's a T0-level heavy infantry..."

Xu Yan smacked his lips, and he began to feel pain again when he looked at the camp with the red and white cross flag flying in the distance. He thought that the radio broadcasting tower that the alliance had spent a lot of money to purchase from Standard Mining was also inside.

I hope that the radio tower will not be seriously damaged after the special forces of Standard Mining help him recapture the position.

No, they might first use heavy firepower to plow their own camp, and then use bombs to blow up the people and facilities in that area before occupying it.

If they blow it up completely, the investment of the Ring Island Alliance...

Thinking of this, Xu Yan showed a sad expression.

This hurts even more.

"This is their weapon, interesting, is it also a gunpowder weapon?"

The Vatican's special priest in red and white robes took the rifle handed over by his soldiers. The operation of the bolt-action rifle is even simpler than that of the flintlock.

He turned the bolt and immediately figured out how to operate this rifle.

Filled the yellow bullet, turned the bolt, and aimed at the captives tied up by other soldiers.

Pull the trigger.

"It's worthy of being a world given by God. The technology here is higher than the world we conquered before. Well, it's a very interesting weapon."

It's just interesting.

I really don't know how those people in the vanguard were beaten to a pulp by this weapon.

Obviously, their weapons can't penetrate the shield. Even if it is thicker and bigger, it is only as powerful as a stone cannon... Our army's shield can also withstand that kind of power.

"Sir Priest Horis, we have taken control of this camp." The low-level priest showed a surprised expression: "Under this camp is a large mithril vein that is being developed..."

Other priests around were delighted after hearing about the large mithril vein, but they suppressed their excitement and waited for the order of the special priest.

Horis, the special priest, put down the smoking rifle in his hand, looked at the body disappearing in the light stream, and threw it to his adjutant to keep it as if he had lost interest.

"Prisoners, no, no need to keep prisoners, kill them all... These things don't look like humans."

He turned to look at the silver-white mecha paralyzed in place with his hands hanging down. The six-meter-class mecha stood on the ground calmly like a tin sculpture.

The seemingly majestic mecha was pierced through the cockpit by long spears along the weak points, and was captured by the Crusaders while retaining its intact structure.

"Oh, it's because they are so obsessed with these external things that they are so fragile... That's why they need God to save them."

"Sir Horis, those people who escaped..." asked the low-level priest: "Do we need to send people to chase them?"

"No, no, set up a defense line on the spot... If they are so fragile, our worries are unnecessary."

However, when did those shadows appear in the sky?

Horis narrowed his eyes and stared at the inconspicuous shadows in the clouds.
