The shell roared across the sky, fell from the highest point, and with the sound of breaking wind, landed directly outside Withollands.
A house in the suburbs was directly hit by an artillery shell. The huge flames frightened the defenders stationed around it and the refugees who were eking out a living.
Just when everyone thought that the Elanshir Empire had begun to attack the city with missiles again, the second shell fell and directly blew away a broken section of the city wall.
Everyone has become accustomed to the days without air raid sirens. In fact, they have never had air raid sirens... The horn sound that reminds everyone of the enemy's incoming attack actually has little effect as an early warning.
With almost no underground air defense facilities, Withollands has no way for residents in the city to have a safe, concealed and very strong hiding place.
Although some ancient buildings have basement structures such as wine cellars or cellars, most of these cellars are not designed to prevent explosions and collapse!
If they are hit by missiles or artillery shells and the superstructure collapses, the people hiding in such underground chambers will most likely be buried alive. Compared with being directly blown to death, this is not a decent way to die.
When the second shell fell, everyone thought it was an ordinary missile attack. But when the fifth and sixth shells fell, everyone realized that the problem might have become more serious.
After all, the previous missile attacks did not have such density, and the missile attacks were more biased towards high-value targets and were unlikely to focus on the outskirts of Withollands due west.
A more direct judgment comes from the number of artillery shells! If it is a missile attack, the density and quantity cannot be so high.
Ever since, when a demon soldier felt something bad and shouted loudly that it might be a bombardment, a shell from the 800mm caliber cannon of the Eilanhir Empire directly hit a place in the west of the city of Witholans.
bell tower.
The ancient bell tower survived two large-scale bombings by the Elanshir Empire, and it did not fall down even after being attacked by several missiles.
The last time, the Tomahawk cruise missile that hit the clock tower directly penetrated the thick outer wall of the building, penetrated the entire building and exploded on the other side of the street, directly destroying two taller houses.
Ever since, the hole penetrated by the missile has remained in the bell tower, and it has remained like this until just now.
As a result, an 800mm-caliber artillery shell cannot give any building face. It only needs to hit the target to completely erase the target from the world.
Sure enough, everyone's expectations were not wasted at all. The huge explosion swallowed up the bell tower that seemed to be quite large.
Amidst the earthquake and tremors, the huge copper bell on the bell tower was blown away and deformed by the air waves. It flew into the sky dozens of meters high, then rolled and fell, hitting the street full of rubble and pebbles.
superior.
There was no one there, but the deformed giant bell was still embedded in the ground of the street with great destructive force, and finally made a dull buzzing sound.
Even the demon standing almost two kilometers away from the explosion point had no intention of dodging.
They have been numbed by the explosion and have become accustomed to the roar. This is their sadness. When facing fear, they have become accustomed to being numb!
Yes, accustomed to numbness - when they face the origin of magic, the fear of being conquered, the fear of being dominated, and the fear of being suppressed make them numb.
They have lived in this state of numbness for ten thousand years and have become accustomed to this numbness. So when greater fear and more terrifying destruction are placed in front of them, they get used to it so quickly.
This is not to blame the devil, but only to blame their lives for continuing like this until they have forgotten their own passion and existence.
Sadly, they only remember the obedience and numbness that go deep into their bones, and they only passively accept these cruel facts.
At this moment, the demon mother holding her child raised her head and looked at the thick smoke rising from the distant block, her ears filled with the deafening sound of the explosion.
The child in her arms had begun to cry loudly because of ear discomfort, but the mother's ears only had a buzzing sound and could not hear the cry of her offspring at all.
A sickly demon dog was wandering around the demon's legs. It was very uneasy about those terrible explosions, but it was obedient to the demon and did not dare to leave.
Therefore, there are too many pathetic people or pathetic things in this world. The numbness of demons is certainly pathetic, but the lower-end demon dogs have also become pathetic because they are used to domestication.
At this time, the air waves from the explosion rolled through the block and hit the onlookers. Because there were buildings separating them, these air waves were no longer so devastating, but the air waves filled with smoke and dust were like a tsunami.
It's really scary when it comes.
The sky here darkened in an instant, and people standing on the street began to evade in a hurry. The low barking of the devil dog, accompanied by the creaking sound of the wooden door closing, made the place become a bit lively.
But soon, something even more lively happened. A 283 mm caliber artillery shell flew into the neighborhood and exploded directly on the street.
This huge explosion blew away all the nearby roads at once, and reduced several houses closest to the center of the explosion into broken rubble.
Several buildings collapsed, leaving only some walls and load-bearing stone pillars stubbornly supporting them and refusing to fall.
There was a temple more than ten kilometers away from the block where the bombardment fell. In the main hall whose walls had been cracked by the two previous bombings, the source of magic looked at the two specks of dust dancing on the table in front of him and felt that his whole body was about to explode.
.
Although he had adjusted his condition, the precious magical energy that his consciousness slowly gathered around him was indeed consumed a lot due to overuse.
As a freak who mixes magic and consciousness, although he is powerful, he is not omnipotent. After using the space magic barrier, he also needs a short rest.
After a short rest, although he already had the ability to take action again, the cute Lansir Empire's change of tactics made it impossible for him to take action again.
Those weird missiles are too fast and have exceeded the ability of magic detection, so the magic source cannot arrange magic in advance to block the missile attack on the city.
Now, a more cruel problem was before him, because mankind's cheaper and more efficient artillery shells had a range enough to hit Withollands.
Even if he tried to intercept it, there were so many cheap artillery shells, but he couldn't intercept them!
