Chapter 282 Attacking the army under our sharp attack
"What a rare visitor. I didn't expect you to come here..."
The young man in black, who was bowing his head in deep thought, moved his finger forward, and two crystal cups filled with red liquid appeared on the table in front of him.
"Because I can't figure out your actions." He picked up the crystal cup on the table with one hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip before saying.
"It's just a test, what can't be figured out?" The young man in black shook his head, picked up another cup filled with fine wine and said.
"Use a human ragtag army to test?" The golden light flashed away, and a huge throne appeared behind the white-robed middle-aged man.
"What do you want to test?" the man in white robe said sitting on the throne.
"Test how much these remnants of the elemental gods know about the power of faith!" The young man in black waved his arm, and a huge magic screen appeared in front of the two of them.
In the magic screen, a 30,000-person army temporarily recruited by the Shadow Empire is slowly advancing towards the land of chaos.
...
After being ravaged severely by me, West had time to ask me why I did this to him.
Why do you do this to him?
Let a 30,000-strong army pass through a dangerous pass on the edge of the Shadow Empire, and then go to the plains to show off, who is the fool or am I?
If it were me, I would have already gathered a group of troops to intercept this legion outside the chaotic land that we already control most of.
If this army is not completely wiped out and allowed to escape, the order that was finally established in the chaotic land will have to be chaotic again.
Unfortunately, after West's explanation, I finally realized what it means to be separated from one's relatives.
Everyone actually agreed to let this seemingly motley army come in and carry out encirclement and suppression on the plains. There were two reasons.
If there is a team of high-level earth magicians hidden in this legion, the dangerous level will most likely become our nightmare.
Using dangerous terrain to set up defenses can indeed achieve the effect of blocking a large number of troops with a small number of troops, but if there are earth magicians mixed in to perform a large-scale terrain change... being drowned by a mudslide is considered a light thing.
Secondly, we lack scouts to test this legion for information.
Although the military academy established in the dwarves has been experimenting with cultivating reliable scouts, water from afar cannot solve the immediate problem. The resolution of spy satellites is limited, and it is impossible to tell the true strength of this miscellaneous army. If this army is undisciplined,
Are our legions actually made up of a bunch of unruly high-level warriors? It’s not that easy to play guerrilla with high-level warriors in complex terrain. It can easily cause us huge casualties. We have few people and can’t afford to die.
!
According to what this bastard West said, since we have so many weapons of war, we can directly conduct the decisive battle on the plains where there are no big tricks. In this way, there will not be too many variables, and the casualties can be controlled at a minimum.
Within our acceptable range.
The cannon fodder army that West is responsible for training was established just for this moment!
Although what West said seems to make some sense, what is the reason for the unhappy feeling in my heart?
So West, who had just gotten up and explained his tactics, was kicked to the ground and stepped on a few times by me, and he finally felt comfortable.
Seven days later, on a huge plain in the middle of the chaotic land.
It is hard to imagine that if the legion sent by the Shadow Empire was really an elite corps, how could it have been possible for seven days to travel more than 200 kilometers!
In the eyes of everyone with suspicion, confusion, and surprise, under the guidance of the Human Imperial Alliance Army led by West, they finally arrived at the battlefield we had predetermined.
Most of the scattered marching team and the chaotic military appearance screamed in terror after seeing the defense line we had set up.
"Hey, is this the enemy you said we need to be careful about?" I kicked West's heel and said with a complicated expression.
"I don't know either, but caution is never wrong." West shook his head. "Anyway, let's test them out first. Don't you have some artillery? Let's fire one round first and see the effect.
"
West's words turned into magic waves that transmitted information between magic crystals, and in a blink of an eye they were transmitted to the Porcupine-class gunboat floating far away in the clouds behind.
After undergoing training at the military academy, the dwarves who were finally able to skillfully operate naval guns shook the wheel and adjusted the angle of the electromagnetic gun according to the coordinate information assigned by the fire control office.
In just ten seconds, the main gun-level electromagnetic gun on the gunboat aimed at the target and sent out a signal that it was ready.
"emission!"
"emission!!!"
Following West's instructions, the captains of all the Porcupine-class gunboats roared in unison after hearing the instructions.
The electromagnetic gun, which had been equipped with high-explosive shells, had a too fast initial speed and was basically in a direct-aiming state. There was a burst of electric light from the muzzle, and the shells that were almost filled with high-explosives flew towards the formation of the Shadow Emperor's ** team.
"Pay attention to the angle at which the enemy's large magic array rises, find out the location of the enemy's magicians, and attack first!" As the gunboat's muzzle adjusted its angle, West's eyes were fixed on the legions slowly unfolding in front of him, nervously.
said.
"Execute!" I patted the magic crystal stuck in my ear with my finger and said to the elf snipers.
Elf snipers equipped with magic-breaking materials are almost every magician's nightmare, whether the elf is using a bow or a sniper rifle.
Whoosh!
The high-explosive bombs coming at supersonic speed not only blew out several large holes in the clouds used by the gunboats to hide themselves, but the huge airflow caused by the shells flying from behind us also made us cover our ears.
But even so, everyone's eyes were fixed on the enemy opposite, preparing to give the enemy's magician troops a fatal blow when the magic circle rose.
The shells emitting dazzling light disappeared in an instant, crossing the distance of about two kilometers between us, and penetrated into the enemy's position, setting off a series of huge fireballs.
The other side's magician didn't seem to make any move.
How can it be?
In such a large-scale legion battle, magicians are very important, why not take action to defend?
Are you preparing some vicious means?
"The gunboat support cannot stop! Keep shooting! Extend the shooting!" The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I immediately took the command and shouted to the gunboats behind. "If the magicians don't come out, we will completely flatten them!"
When West shrugged helplessly, the gunboat that received the order slightly adjusted its muzzle and continued the bombardment.
As the electromagnetic gun on the gunboat continued to roar, layers of fireballs continued to extend in the position of the Youying Emperor Corps on the opposite side, causing a rain of blood in the sky.
Why hasn't the magician come out yet?
Just as I was holding Brynac and gritting my teeth, watching the number of people on the opposite side getting smaller and smaller under the bombardment of artillery, the dwarves on countless gunboats who controlled the rapid-fire electromagnetic guns were equipped with magic-breaking warheads, preparing to attack the magician who was about to expose his target.
While strafing, the army of the Shadow Empire on the opposite side finally made new moves.
While we were stunned, the Shadow Emperor's army, which still had 20,000 people in stock, was briefly confused and fled in the direction they came from, abandoning their helmets and armor.
The gunboats that were bombarding seemed to have temporarily stopped attacking because the observers were stunned by the opponent's overly exaggerated performance.
"Hey, Master Tactics." I kicked West. "What should we do in this situation?"
"Drive them towards the checkpoint we occupy, encircle them and eliminate them." West, who was also speechless, said after being speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
If that's the case, then hurry up.
The magic spaceships waiting in the rear landed on our position one after another. After loading the soldiers on the position, they followed the crumbling troops.
The gunboats that keep firing ensure that these guys will not panic and go elsewhere to harm the people.
One day later, as this group of deserters, who were at least three times faster than when they came, were blocked by our soldiers who stayed on the border of the chaotic land, a brutal siege began.
It's not that we don't want to persuade them to surrender, but with only 10,000 mobile troops, it's impossible for us to leave enough manpower to guard the prisoners.
It is impossible for the more than 10,000 people who are still alive to go back intact to increase the population resources of the Shadow Empire, which does not have a large population, and bring back our detailed information.
Amid everyone's silent expressions, the gunboats began to fire at the surrounded troops.
Wait, what does this feel like?! (To be continued.)
