Although the distance between the Empire's mechanized troops and the Air Force's carpet bombing of the "Magic City" was more than ten kilometers just now, if they wanted to shoot accurately, they needed to close the distance to within three kilometers.
In addition, unlike artillery, tanks also have armor-piercing bullets and other types of ammunition, so he decided to get closer to three kilometers and shoot again. They are not afraid of street fighting, but it is better to eliminate enemies that can be eliminated with artillery fire from a long distance.
In order to launch an attack quickly at any time, the army marched together and started a new attack as close as three kilometers away.
"Boom!" The special bullet burst out from the tank's gun barrel and aimed directly at the city center. A mushroom cloud quickly rose from the bullet point, but the building remained unscathed.
Various armor-piercing grenades left a burst of sparks on the outer walls of the "city" and the outer walls of the buildings.
At this time, the towers that project explosives began to move again. The distance was so close that there was no need for the initial mother bombs, and a larger number of small explosives were directly thrown out of the "city".
.
At the same time, several ordinary-looking buildings were opened like boxes, and from inside rose turrets with calibers comparable to the magic cannons carried by the empire this time, or even larger and multi-mounted. Fire at them!
The legion-level defensive barrier that was deployed at all times was immediately penetrated. Beam-like energy jets and some turrets turned directly to open up a fan. In an instant, dozens of tanks and several artillery positions were wiped out, and then a large number of missiles were thrown into the sky.
Explosives fall.
Although the power was much smaller than before, the number was greater, and the infantry who lost the protection of the barrier suffered hundreds of casualties at one time.
At the same time, the air fleet in the sky was also attacked from higher altitudes.
The sky was full of clouds, and several beams of light were shot out. If defensive magic was deployed, the beams of that magnitude should be blocked, but before that, because no enemy's flying combat power was found, all the magic was used.
It was bombing and there was no time to convert.
But still responded quickly.
The fleet commander ordered to disperse and evade, which avoided heavy losses. However, two ships that were unable to avoid were still penetrated by the beam and exploded. Fortunately, these were all battleships and focused on survivability. Although the two airships were lost
He suffered a heavy loss and lost most of his combat power, but he has not yet fallen, and his ultimate weapon against monsters [Magic Disruption Radiation] can still be used.
However, a group of dragonmen immediately rushed out of the clouds. The leader brandished a spear, thrust out a violent vortex, and penetrated an airship with one blow, shooting it down.
The dragons rushed into the fleet, and beams of light were still lowered from the clouds, completely involving the air in the melee.
"The attack is so strong, it must be the human form of Storm Dragon Veldora. Let the air force fight with all its strength and allow the use of [Magic Disruption Radiation]; we will attack according to the planned siege formation A!" Calecchilio ordered!
.
"But..." The adjutant was a little hesitant. He was so happy just a moment ago, but suddenly it became like this, which made some people hesitate.
Calecchilio: "Can't you see? The enemy did not hesitate to annihilate so many monsters for us just to get us closer to this distance. This must be their optimal attack distance, but currently their effective methods will not
There are more, otherwise it is the right thing to set up some defense lines in the first few towns and resist layer by layer to consume our troops. Their previous water attack and current raid are to lure us here, and then force us to rush in and enter
Street fighting takes advantage of the individual strength of monsters, but we have originally considered close-range melees in the city and formulated tactics. Are you all afraid? No matter if you hesitate here and suffer greater losses, or run away, you will become the enemy of the empire.
Sinner! Execute the battle order!"
"Yes!" x n
Some officers originally guessed that it was Gaviru, but they swallowed it down because of this.
The officers immediately began to carry out their respective tasks, conveying detailed orders to each unit through magic.

Ramiris Labyrinth, War Command Post——
"Huh." Benimaru looked at the large group of enemy troops pouring into the defensive town pretending to be a magical city, and showed a somewhat proud and ironic smile.
"Originally, I thought that if I wasn't fooled, I would also drive out the tanks lent by Lord Crownpiss to have a fight. It seems that this is not necessary. Lord Ramiris's labyrinth facilities are very good.
It worked," he said.
"Hmph, you can worship me more." Ramiris raised her nose.
Rimuru drank the coffee without saying a word for the time being. Well, he usually drinks more black tea because it seems to make him look elegant and stylish, but the coffee is also delicious, although it never has a refreshing effect at all.
"Report. The result of [Poison Resistance] taking effect."
Sure enough, caffeine is considered poisonous, so there is no need to report this kind of thing.
To be honest, he was a little shocked when he saw the proficiency displayed by the soldiers of the Empire in street fighting. There must be someone from the Counter-Strike in a high position on the opposite side. It couldn't be the person named Tatsuya Kondo mentioned in Damrad's confession, right?
, the name sounds like "visitor from another world", commonly known as Lieutenant Kondo, and may be a qualified professional soldier of the island country.
There are grenades similar to the Pyroblast Jade, and there are also portable magic cannons similar to shoulder-fired missiles and RPGs. The magic that is fired is called [Air Breaking Magic Cannon], and the compressed air bursts out in a directional direction.
It works quite well in small spaces.
All in all, it only takes them about ten minutes on average to capture a house occupied by ten to thirty monsters, and the losses are not huge.
However, the Demonic Kingdom's defensive towns only have monsters that can be dealt with by a general team of adventurers, so the resurrection time is also very short - of course, not in situ, but in the underground level of the maze.
"It would be great if the enemy was willing to take advantage of the situation and invade the labyrinth as they wish. If they just occupy the surface towns and then divide their forces to continue marching westward, they will be in trouble." Rimuru finally said.
The old god Benimaru replied on the ground: "That's why I have to give them a hard blow so that they can't just leave them alone, and I have to give them some sweetness. Master Crounpis asked Master Coppelia to give a gift and pretend to surrender.
I also asked the troops responsible for surface defense to bring some high-quality equipment and gems, which are enough to serve as bait."
"Also, on the door leading to the underground labyrinth it says 'The weak are not qualified to pass' to ridicule, right?" Rimuru said.
"Gahaha, if it was me, it must have gone in." Veldora said proudly. The reference value is not great, but this time it is correct.
Benimaru asked: "Rimuru-sama, since the other front armies have won the victory, is there any information on the activity time of the enemy soldiers?"
