Mesette was not calm again. Although she had not reached the point of "forcing her not to panic", one of the bone dragons that was enough to cause big trouble to an ordinary city, and a plurality of them in the central continent could kill cities or annihilate small countries unexpectedly failed.
If it causes any casualties to the opponent, it will be easily eliminated.
"Chariots and artillery, that's what Ainz said, right? But aren't the tanks and artillery here from the same dimension as the ones I've heard about and seen in the Central Continent?"
Most of the tanks and cannons in the Central Continent are made of wood. At most, they are covered with a lightweight and enchanted metal bore and armor. Whether it is a tank or a cannon, the ballistics of the shells fired by the cannon are at most lower than those of trebuchets and ballistas.
It's only several times more powerful, and at most it can't match the level of fifth-level magic. Of course, that's already very powerful. The two thousand powerful people from all walks of life who gathered during the attack on the Demon God's Residence, most of the magic casters are only at that level of strength.
.
Mesette had never heard of anti-aircraft guns with guidance capabilities.
It was also her fault that she participated in the "Hundred Days War of Humanity". The kingdom was almost finished. When the empire attacked the capital of the kingdom, it was determined to leave the city intact as much as possible and there was no need to use such weapons. Of course, in the past few decades
The advancement of magic science and technology is also a reason.
The artillery fire on the Great White Shark that Messette snatched was also quite powerful, but for some reason the shells fired started to fly around halfway. Even if they entered the city, they would not cause damage to the defense.
Is there another mechanism? If it were left to Ainz, he might be interested in analyzing it from the inside out. Ainz likes to collect rare things. This may not be considered a rare thing, but there really aren't any in the Central Continent.
Fortunately, the main force of the ground troops is advancing normally.
Sudden--
Messette discovered that in the shared vision of the small animal zombies placed around the city for reconnaissance, the gates of the city that were not under main attack were opened, and a large number of cavalry, chariots and personnel carriers dragged by large monsters gathered there drove out.
came out and rushed towards the flank of her main attacking force.
At the same time, the magic caster group that had repaired the city wall also opened a magic circle to the outside, and several big bumpkins were raised on the open ground. Perhaps they planned to use earth magic to guide the route here so that they could concentrate their firepower and attack the flanks.
Troops provide cover.
If the undead in the air could be aware of it in advance, they would be able to deal with it in advance, but those are already the same as the bone dragons just now, no, even worse than the bone dragons. Whether they are secretly released before the war or forced in after the war, they can't even get close to the city.
He was shot down tragically.
"It's a good strategy for regular combat. Then I'll also play a card, the Dead Archmage Team...what?!"
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Those rubes suddenly exploded.
No, it wasn't an explosion, it was the air flow directed from the inside out that blew up the bumpkin. The objects ejected by the air flow exploded one after another in the undead army with an interval of less than half a second.
In an instant, half of the team composed of Soul Eater Knights and Death Knights were defeated. As for the other undead who were lower level than these two units, they were even more seriously injured.
Six more flying objects exploded at the group of dead magicians who were preparing to counterattack the enemy. They had no time to switch to defensive magic and were wiped out in a large area in an instant.
"Hey!" Mercette opened the defense wall formed by her skills to block the aftermath of the explosion. Although those attacks tickled her, she didn't want to experience the feeling of dust getting in through her seven orifices and being unable to get out.
She tried her best to see clearly what was happening. There was no need to worry about losses. The undead would not stop fighting because of fear. The problem was how to deal with the opponent's successive tricks.
"This, this, are you really willing to give up?!" Mesette was dumbfounded by what she saw.
……………………………………………………
Yayaka, who was preparing to use the army of nobles to lure the enemy and take the opportunity to take Mesette, went straight to the command post in the tower, grabbed the commander and Yulia by their collars and shouted: "What the hell are you doing?
!Who allowed you to do this!"
"But, but, Lord Earl, this is an opportunity to destroy the enemy to the maximum extent."
"Count, didn't you promise me those things that I can use casually?"
"Besides, even if you keep it, your control rights will be taken away once you are discovered. It's better to make full use of it immediately."
"Since the Empire Power is maintained at your own private expense, I think the country is willing to provide you with corresponding compensation..."
Yayaka suppressed her anger and said: "...I would rather know how you did it, Yulia, than this."
It turned out that Yayaka promised Yulia to allocate all the equipment she no longer needed to her to supplement her combat power, and Yulia used it without ceremony.
Those ghost battleships that were scuttled to avoid being deprived of control, and the cannons that could be dismantled for human use were all dismantled for use by the soldiers of the empire. However, the enemy arrived faster than expected and did not catch up.
However, there are still things that cannot be dismantled or are inconvenient to use temporarily - the armored turret of the battleship Imperial Force that is 20 to 30 meters long and the naval gun shells that are not compatible with the cannon ammunition of the city defense.
It just so happens that the goblin temples in every major city in the empire have at least two priests who can use range teleportation magic. This city is no exception. If you add military magic casters and adventurers, you can also use mid-to-low-level space magic.
Three people.
They also gathered all the potions that could be collected in the city to promote magic recovery, and used a large number of construction magic casters to create a slope to guide the enemy - the soil below was taken away - and then, under the strong cover of the magic wave in that area,
Regardless of the consumption of magic power, several people teleported the cannonballs to the enemy's feet in batches, and the priests of the Fairy Temple used range teleportation magic to replace the armored turrets of the battleships with the gunners deployed by the undead inside. The loaders also teleported into those
In the hollow soil slope, the main gun was ready from the beginning.
Humans do not have the ability to easily move the huge artillery shells with a caliber between 500mm and 600mm. In order to quickly load the city defense heavy artillery and armored turrets, we specially hired some demi-humans who were willing to risk their lives for this purpose. Among them, they were assigned to the armored turrets.
They knew that they would not be able to survive and triumph. However, if the undead destroyed the city, everyone would die. Their family members and companions who took refuge here would also die, and the large sum of money given to them would be reserved for their family members and companions.
Then, just as the undead army passed between the rubes, all the armored turrets fired at intervals, allowing the Soul Eater Knight and Death Knight to withstand the damage. The undead skills were consumed in the first wave of attacks, and then subsequent shells
Inflict real damage and shoot the ground to detonate all the cannonballs buried under the feet of the undead army.
