A dense hailstone just fell down, and fist-sized cluster bombs were evenly scattered over the entire city by dozens of rockets.
As gravity began to act on the bullets of these cluster bombs that had lost their flight speed, these bullets began to fall one after another, hitting the heads of the soldiers of the Rock Empire who had not had time to escape.
"Boom!" The explosion suddenly sounded like this, and the soldiers who were running around were not in the mood to care at all. The delay fuse of the warhead that had just landed under their feet had already started working.
"Boom!" Just as a soldier passed by the bullet of a cluster bomb, the bullet exploded. As if he had stepped on a landmine, the upper body of the soldier from the Rock Empire flew out like that.
The entire city was shrouded in bombs, the entire city began to explode, the entire city was trembling, and thick smoke began to rise from the entire city.
The scattered cluster bombs panicked those soldiers of the Rock Empire who had experienced the baptism of artillery. They instinctively began to use their own experience to deal with the disaster before them.
The veterans of the Rock Empire, who were about to go crazy from the shelling, quickly rolled into the craters that had not yet been filled.
This was the life-saving experience they had summarized before, and it was accidentally discovered by a veteran. He found that artillery shells almost never fell in the same crater, so as long as he found a crater to hide, he could effectively save his life.
In fact, a bomb crater is equivalent to a foxhole for soldiers without bunkers. It can block some shrapnel and hide most of the soldiers' bodies, making it a good temporary bunker.
But when a veteran rolled into a crater, he discovered that there were two black cylindrical objects that had fallen to the ground.
There was a strange mark on this object. Of course he couldn't understand the words written in the Elanshir Empire's divine language on it, and naturally he didn't know what the C-9 on it meant.
In fact, the meaning of C-9 is C-type cluster bomb submunition, No. 9 explosive reloading type - this is a very cheap cluster bomb type, originally used to clear the opponent's airport and attack exposed areas
The corps has not been deployed.
Now, since the enemy does not have an airport anyway, it is temporarily allocated to carry out coverage attack missions.
The veteran saw two cluster bomb submunitions already lying in the crater. He was so frightened that he quickly wanted to crawl out of the crater.
Before he could reach out to grab the edge of the crater, two cluster bombs exploded one after another, blowing up the unfortunate veteran.
Almost at the same moment, a group of Rock Empire soldiers hiding in the building shrank into a ball nervously as they saw a bloody arm flying out of the crater.
After the sound of the explosion gradually faded, a soldier braved the situation and approached the door, sticking his head out to see if the disaster was really over.
As a result, the moment he poked his head out, a cluster bomb's submunition, for some reason, had just landed, passed directly in front of his eyes, and hit him in front of his toes.
"Ah!" He was startled by the sudden thing flying in front of him. When he lowered his head, he saw the bomb under his feet beginning to expand.
This was the last image that stayed in his mind. The small black cylinder with the strange symbol of C-9 expanded and deformed, causing the writing on it to change.
The next moment, the explosion blew away his body and the wall behind him. The wall fell down, and the soldiers of the Rock Empire hiding inside didn't even have time to scream.
After another burst of explosions, the ruins of the entire city finally became quiet again. The soldiers of the Rock Empire who were lucky enough to survive got up from the ground, patted the dust on their bodies, and checked whether there were any wounds on their bodies.
A war horse fell to the ground, blood gushing out from its body. It was struggling violently and neighing. In the end, no one went up to take care of the war horse, because there were many wounded people who were also hoarse.
Crying in mourning.
The buildings that had already completely collapsed became even more fragmented. The half-collapsed buildings before were really just a piece of ruins and rubble. And those buildings that survived several shellings and luckily survived, at this time
At this moment, it has become a dilapidated building with half of it collapsed.
"It's really not possible... let's send people... to surrender..." A general hiding in an underground wine cellar said to several of his colleagues when he heard the explosions gradually subsided outside.
"That's... also a way..." A general, who was frightened by the dense explosion and turned pale, stammered in agreement.
"But...but...what if those gods, spirits...don't know that the people we sent are going to surrender?" a general asked.
His words made several generals stunned for a moment, and then they almost simultaneously gave up their plans to deliver the surrender message in person. Now it seems that it is safer to send a subordinate to deliver the message.
"Then find a knight and take a few soldiers to deliver the message!" The leading general never said that surrender was not allowed. He had previously thought that staying here and dying here was the only way to be loyal to the emperor. However, he remembered
Many things shook his determination.
The reinforcements from the Empire of Flame retreated...or to put it more vividly, they actually fled. The reinforcements from the Crusaders also retreated, and the Pope also fled with the remaining defeated soldiers.
The defensive line that the Emperor of the Rock Empire had high hopes for has been proven to be nothing more than a joke. His fantasy of the Holy See army defeating the false gods did not happen, and the soldiers of the Rock Empire can now only fight alone.
To say that they are fighting hard is actually to put gold in their own faces. The actual situation is basically that the soldiers of the Rock Empire are being beaten unilaterally.
The description of the lonely army is very accurate. Now let alone reinforcements, these soldiers of the Rock Empire who stayed in the same place, even their commander, can't take care of them.
Fokker, as the general of the Rock Empire, has now been dismissed. He is now just a general, and his status is almost the same as before Luhmann was captured.
He may have slightly more qualifications, but there is no difference in his position. He has failed twice in a row and is now on his way back to the capital of the Rock Empire.
He once again abandoned his troops, took a few cavalry with him, and brought everything he saw with his own eyes, as well as the news of the defeat, back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Rock Empire.
In short, the Rock Empire now has no choice. Their final outcome, or their own destiny, is in the hands of the Eilanhill Empire.
