Seven hundred and seventieth chapters determination
The Encirclement and Suppression of Esso Revis, or the Meat Grinder of Esso Revis, in my opinion, this battle will probably be recorded in future history books with this name.
Because someone's decoy mission was completed so well (blame me?), it even attracted the personal pursuit of the Devil King and the Undead Emperor. There was even a fault among the high-level commanders of the entire Western Front battlefield. Not only did the transport fleet successfully complete
In addition to the supply work, the forced landing on the Western Front was less hindered.
At 3:45 in the morning that day, the lights on the battleship flashed three times at the same time, and the big landing began.
Under the escort of twenty warships, thirty-seven heavy and large transport ships began to forcibly seize the beach, followed by hundreds of scattered ships.
Starting from the Front Mountain Range on the north side of the western front and extending to the south, the entire coastline has turned into a battlefield.
Contrary to expectations, the coalition forces did not choose the core area of Dreamland Forest in the original Victoria Harbor as their landing point. They chose the Silver Shark Strait, which is further north.
It is full of dangerous reefs and large whirlpools, which are not suitable as a landing site at all. Under the dangerous rapids, there are also carnivorous magic sharks and flying fish. From the beginning, it is beyond the possibility of normal landing areas.
.
Because it is inaccessible, no port has been built there. The dense underwater reefs and soft underwater mud make it impossible to construct a normal port berth here.
The most terrible thing is that there are underwater shoals here, where people can stand with their upper body on the water and their lower body under the water.
This is extremely fatal to ships. The reef may only damage the bottom of the ship, but once it hits the shoal, it is very likely that the ship will be directly stranded.
Therefore, this is undoubtedly a blind spot for the landing battle.
Even on the outer line of defense of the Forest of Dreams, the devils still piled up giant sling arrays and one-eyed demon chariot arrays, ready to let humans experience the horror of the abyss.
But here, there are no soldiers.
What's even more terrible is that this direction is originally no man's land. If you follow this direction, Esso Reeves is right in front!
As a result, the safest landing site was abandoned, and the coalition forces chose the least safe area. They ignored the opponent's defense line and directly attacked the opponent's hinterland.
It seems like a normal choice?
When warships approached that direction, the undead and devils started to take action even without knowing how they planned to survive those underwater shoals. The flying devils in the sky rushed towards the Silver Shark Strait without hesitation, trying to intercept the opponent's attack.
Seize the beach.
But what greeted them was artillery fire even more intense than the day before.
Fireballs pierced the night one after another, and the explosion of each one created lightning and explosions at the same time, instantly creating a blank space on the battlefield.
Charged explosive bombs, a new type of ammunition that has just been installed, are each a collection of multiple Olivia's Boxes, and will automatically release magic when activated based on the type of magic energy stored in them.
The power is astonishing, and the instantaneous explosive power is extremely strong. The only drawback is that it is extremely expensive and must be recharged by the caster before use. However, these problems are not a problem in the face of the alliance between the wealthy Mage Kingdom and Bayer.
And this batch of special ammunition had just come off the production lines of Lanmeng and Oran, and was escorted by the leaders of the two to the front line of the battlefield. It was also thanks to someone acting as a bait that this batch of ammunition came like this.
timely.
What is the hole card? When your opponent feels that he has seen through you. The new thing that can make your opponent completely miscalculate is the hole card.
All charged bombs use lightning and fireball, the two most common offensive spells. It’s not like no one has considered ice, earth, and water magic that are more effective against devils. But practice on the battlefield told them
, none of those things work.
Ranged attack capabilities are always direct violence from the fire system. After the temperature reaches a certain level, it is possible to directly boil the air. When it comes to attacking high-speed and multiple single targets, nothing is more useful than an explosive thunderstorm.
Yes, it activates flying units one by one.
The final result is that these ammunition are all filled with bursting fireballs and chain lightning, which is simple, crude and effective.
At this time, every hit of this new ammunition was like a high-level bombardment by a high-level mage, and the only cost was probably the mage apprentices who were paralyzed on the ground at the end of the landing ship.
The seniors and mentors want to reserve magic power for the next battle, so they can only let the apprentices who are not yet useful to recharge the magic bullets. As for their lack of magic power, they can only use quantity to make up for the quality, and continue to meditate to restore magic power.
The ammo is recharged and eventually all is drained.
The captains and gunners of those warships would not understand the apprentices' hard work. They were going crazy for their new toys.
This time, the strategic goals of the well-supplied battleships were right in front of them. They had no reason to cherish ammunition. All the artillery and magic crystal cannons were turned on, and the colorful fireworks never stopped.
All he saw before his eyes were exploding fireballs and lightning, as if hundreds of high-level mages were desperately attacking at the same time, regardless of their magic power or lives.
"... Are these guys from the main plane with weak magic? The magic rune army of the ancient sage civilization is not as outrageous as them, right?"
The old devil, who had witnessed the ancient holy war, could not help but sigh with fear, and then quietly retreated behind.
The overly concentrated fire elements burned out patches of flaming clouds in the sky, and what was even more exaggerated was the magical reaction that somehow occurred. The thunderstorms and dark clouds took effect, and the sudden appearance of thunderstorms became the devil's death zone.
.
The overly intensive offensive made the high fire pits that the residents of the abyss were proud of become meaningless.
In front of the fierce artillery fire, the proud big devil was shot down like raindrops. The tyrannical devil lords were stunned by the high-temperature fireballs and lightning and thunder. They had never fought against the high-level mage before they died, but they had never seen it before.
These hundreds or even thousands of high-level mages threw fireballs and lightning together, and the overly concentrated elemental power formed an elemental realm of its own.
The worst thing is the various types of low- and middle-level winged demons. They fall one by one. Those who are lucky will die before they hit the ground. Those who are unlucky will desperately wait for their death in the paralysis of lightning.
.
Even for the once powerful Devil Clan, flying units were still precious and rare, but at this time, there was no possibility of retreat. The Great Devil Lords and nobles personally went into battle to serve as governors and military police, and it was impossible for deserters to leave the battlefield alive.
"...It is impossible to land there! We still have hope, hold on, hold on, waiting for the support of the lords."
The Devil Overseer screamed in the storm, but the scene in front of him made him swallow the rest of his words.
Facing the turbulent Silver Shark Strait, the fleet had no intention of breaking through. Under the dark clouds, the warships on the sea raised their sails, but slowly left the sea!
They rose precariously out of the sea, slowly but resolutely heading towards the coastline.
"Boom!"
Obviously, those bulky old battleships and the new floating battleships are completely different in terms of materials and design. Those temporarily installed floating engines soon burned out after being overloaded, and some ships kept falling into the sea again...
.Or falling into the sea is more appropriate.
But there was not much distance left. If the fallen warships had not fallen apart on the spot and fell on the shoals and reefs, they would have started anchoring without hesitation, and then turned on all the artillery to become fixed turrets.
On the ship, some alchemists began to throw special alchemical potions into the water. The water surface that touched it would quickly freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the last boat, four truth-level mages wearing blue and white robes were chanting incantations. Their goal was to summon ice and snow!
If Roland were here, he would probably be surprised to find how similar those incantations and spell models are to the Ice Age information he handed over to the country of wizards.
Starting from that small boat, the seawater actually began to slowly freeze.
Now, whether it is a transport ship or a battleship, they are all throwing down quick-frozen glacial agents. When the ice cubes growing behind come into contact with those glacial agents, it is like taking a big tonic, and the growth rate is faster.
Transport ships began to jump off to test the thickness of the ice. At this point, I'm afraid everyone could see that humans did not intend to use ships to land directly. They chose to freeze the strait and then let the people on the transport ships
People landed on the ice and came ashore.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At this time, the warships that initially flew with the wind landed, and they sat on the beach one by one, vaguely forming a new line of defense and fortress.
The artillery fire never stopped, and when the Aurora Knight took off silently from the battleships that could no longer enter the water, even the devils felt fear.
The most important thing about an old-fashioned battleship is the keel under the ship. If it falls like this, even if the deck below the ship is fine, the entire ship will be completely destroyed.
For this landing, just at the beginning, the human coalition sacrificed all their warships.
Although the opponent is more powerful and difficult than expected, the most frightening thing is the determination to completely eradicate the enemy's troubles at all costs.
