Dense cluster bombs destroyed the entire valley, and the earth-shaking explosions continued, like a grand fireworks show with no end in sight.
Adair looked at the explosion in front of him that was enough to cause heavy losses to the most powerful army of the Dragon Clan, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes.
Because he has seen too many such scenes recently, and before every attack, he will witness such covering bombardment with his own eyes.
At that time, he would be full of confidence in such bombardment every time. In his knowledge, no one could resist such an attack head-on.
But it is a pity that his understanding was soon overturned. Although the bombardment of the Elanthir Empire was fierce, the guard's army was always able to make up for its losses. Once again, it was against the Elanthir Empire's
The armies were entangled.
Over time, he has become numb, and no matter how fierce the gunfire in front of him is, he has no joy anymore.
So Adair just looked down at the battlefield as a routine, waiting for the enemy army that was about to charge forward.
When he saw a spectacular cloud rising from the distance, he knew that today's battle might not be fought.
Of course, General Andre could not just watch the opponent gather his forces and continue the attack. Delaying the opponent's attack was an inevitable choice.
In the hands of the Airanhill Empire, there are not many cheap and powerful weapons that can block the opponent's attacking troops and consume the opponent's strength, but nuclear weapons are definitely one of them!
In the past, for the sake of environmental protection, the Airanshir Empire was more willing to use bombing in space to achieve an effect similar to a nuclear strike.
But now, the Airanshir Empire has lost its local air supremacy in outer space, so nuclear weapons have become the best choice.
Andre has many nuclear weapons in his hands, and he has always used these weapons as safely as possible.
Under normal circumstances, his attack points are close to the opponent's core landing site, which will have less impact on his own side and facilitate future counterattack arrangements.
However, as Adair's several counterattacks failed, Andre also gained a new understanding of the Watchers' methods of destroying everything. He no longer fantasized about counterattacks to regain the position, but really began to think about how to regain his position as much as possible.
The enemy was killed.
Once his thoughts return to the far point, he will have more choices. Andre begins to drop nuclear weapons dozens or hundreds of kilometers in front of his own position, so that he can eliminate a large number of the Guardian troops that are gathering.
Adair looked at the huge mushroom-shaped clouds rolling up in the distance, and narrowed his eyes stimulated by the bright light.
It is truly a spectacular sight, a spectacular sight that can be easily viewed from a distance of hundreds of kilometers!
The tremors of the earth came almost at the same time, and then came the strong wind blowing against my face. Finally, a dull sound, as if suppressed by something, came rolling in the horizon.
"I actually don't like nuclear weapons. They make war boring." Adair's eyes had adapted to the light and he spoke to the human magician beside him.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he added: "But sometimes I also like this thing. It can kill thousands of enemies effortlessly."
"You call this 'effortless'?" The human magician glanced at Adair and joked.
"Hahahaha! At least when you launch it, it can be said to be effortless." Adair burst into laughter.
The rocket fire in front of me has stopped, and the explosion of cluster bombs has been replaced by a loud rumble in the distance.
There are craters emitting light smoke everywhere, and the vegetation that once covered the valley with airtightness is now completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.
The branches of some of the remaining trees are covered with shrapnel. If you grab a handful of soil here, you may find steel balls or shell fragments of artillery shells.
For the sweepers, maybe a handful of dirt here can be eaten as fried rice.
The sweeper soldiers who originally wanted to attack the Elanshir Empire's positions were now scattered around the craters in pieces.
They lay there silently, some had only arms, some had only legs, some had bodies but no legs, some had bodies with arms and legs, but their heads were nowhere to be found.
In short, there are corpses everywhere here, including the corpses of the dissipating sweepers. Of course, there are also the remains of some destroyers scattered among the corpses of the sweepers. Their huge bodies are also incomplete, and they look even more tragic.
.
"Chirp..." In the silence, a black energy line shot by a conqueror warrior appeared on the battlefield, directly hitting a section of the abandoned position and lifting up the soil in front of the position.
In the next second, countless sweepers jumped out of the crater from reverse slopes and from various places, firing while rushing towards the defense positions of the Eilanhir Empire.
Behind them, more sweepers rushed out of the dense forest, rushed out of their hiding place, and began to run in the direction of the Eilanhill Empire's position.
"Squeak..." In the middle of the unmanned automatic turret on the Eilan Hill position, the integrated observation and aiming spherical photoelectric detector turret immediately responded and aimed at the direction of the enemy's charge.
The next second, the quadruple cannons on both sides of the turret stirred up from their idle state, and the four barrels were instantly aimed at the enemy in the distance.
"Thud, tug, tug..." A series of tracer bullets spilled from the fort, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and crashed into the attacking crowd of sweepers.
A running sweeper was hit by a sudden artillery shell. One of his arms was directly blown away by the artillery shell, and he drew a parabola in the air and fell not far away.
The shot sweeper didn't even have time to let out an unpleasant scream before his whole body was pushed heavily to the ground.
That is a 30mm caliber machine gun. It was originally used for local air defense. Now it is used to straf the ground. It is naturally extremely cruel.
"Squeak..." The heavily protected anti-aircraft gun slightly adjusted its firing position, then fired again, firing a series of shells.
In the direction it fired, the attacking sweepers were instantly suppressed. They could only hide and hide, unable to move forward at all.
A black energy hit the thick concrete in front of the anti-aircraft gun, leaving a melted hole in it.
"Boom!" At this time, a combat anti-cannon on the flank of the position opened fire. This thing is an old antique and is rarely seen in the regular troops of the Eilanhill Empire.
This thing was originally obsolete, but many magic empires that included the Ilanthil Empire were equipped with this weapon.
Originally, the military wanted to remanufacture these weapons, but the subsequent large-scale expansion of the army had to let these old-fashioned equipment be used for a few more times.
A small number of combat defense artillery were assigned to the puppet robot infantry division as heavy firepower and used as support artillery.
However, due to the lack of ammunition, in the end these combat anti-tank guns could only be used as anti-tank guns and remained in the army.
A miracle finally occurred. As the Eilanhill Empire began to fully prepare for war, combat anti-aircraft artillery was sent to the front line along with these puppet troops and deployed on the defense line, serving as a firepower point and becoming the backbone of the defense line.
Anyway, something is always better than nothing, and no one has the energy to mess with these outdated anti-tank guns. In the end, these weapons were piled in fixed trenches and used as anti-tank weapons before the shells were fired.
To be honest... this thing is really not very easy to use. Facing the Watcher's troops, it is no different from a suicide weapon.
After the puppet robot aimed at the target, it fired a shot. At a distance of less than 300 meters, the shell of the combat anti-cannon directly hit a Destroyer tank that was climbing over the corpse.
The shell penetrated the shell of the Destroyer tank from the oblique side, paralyzing the Watcher tank and starting to emit thick smoke.
This thick smoke comes from the magic energy that begins to get out of control. The destroyed Destroyer Tank will also explode. The unstable magic energy will explode, which is no less important than the ammunition explosion.
Just behind the Destroyer tank that was emitting thick smoke, several Destroyer tanks rushed out. One of them had already aimed its energy cannon at the position of the puppet robot that had just opened fire.
And on the exposed combat artillery position, a puppet robot was holding the cannonball and pushing the cannonball into the warm barrel.
Beside it, another puppet quickly closed the breech block. In front of it, the puppet responsible for adjusting the shooting angle of the artillery had begun to shake the handle vigorously to point the artillery towards the next target.
"Boom!" In the distance, the Destroyer Tank fired an energy shell, and the black energy began to fly rapidly toward the target three hundred meters away.
At the same time, the puppet robot gunner who had already aimed at the target also pulled the matchlock of the cannon. The firing pin in the barrel hit the primer at the rear of the cannonball, igniting the propellant in the cannonball.
"Boom!" There was also a gunshot, and a sharp anti-tank gun shell was wrapped in the rolling air waves, flew out of the muzzle, and headed straight for a new target in the distance.
The energy shell hit the shield of the combat defense gun and exploded instantly, destroying the entire artillery position. The puppet's broken limbs were blown everywhere by the shock wave, and the gun barrel detached from the gun mount and rolled to the other side of the trench.
At the same time, at the connection between the energy cannon of the Destroyer tank that fired and the body, an armor-piercing projectile sank into the gap with an indomitable momentum, detonating the energy inside.
The Destroyer exploded instantly and was engulfed in the flames of the explosion together with the paralyzed fellow next to it, turning into two burning wrecks.
All around, the charging sweepers didn't even glance at their destroyed companions. They continued to charge forward, trying to get closer to the defense position of the Elanthir Empire.
And the condescending anti-aircraft gun battery began to fire again, and a series of tracer bullets sprinkled on the battlefield full of craters, bringing up a blood mist.
Adair also didn't expect that the opponent would dare to launch a brazen attack even after receiving a nuclear weapon from behind.
He also didn't expect that the other party would still have the courage and strength to launch such a crazy attack after eating a nuclear bomb.
Therefore, Adair was a little startled when he saw the battlefield that suddenly became lively and the battle that broke out out of nowhere.
"Thud, tug, tug, tug!" Finally, approaching the place where he stood, the unique sound of the electromagnetic machine gun fired brought him back to reality. He saw that the magician who had just stood next to him was already on the position a little ahead of him.
Cutting down a sweeper who rushed up.
"These guards know how to change their tactics...suddenly they have become smarter..." Adair muttered in a low voice. He picked up his long sword and jumped out of the trench, rushing towards a arrogant man in the distance.
Conqueror warrior.
Behind Adair, behind a grenadier wearing heavy armor, small drones spread out one after another, and seven or eight of them buzzed together and rushed into the distance.
These drones that automatically search for targets and attack are like small missiles. They do not rely on power to kill the enemy, they rely on attack accuracy to win.
Precise guidance components allow them to hit moving targets more accurately. Compared with cluster bombs, they can ensure that an enemy is completely destroyed in one attack.
Soon, these palm-sized small drones found the enemy to attack, and they began to dive one after another, just like miniature dive bombers.
It's just that these super tiny dive bombers don't drop bombs, because they are a bomb themselves!
A sweeper who was firing energy bombs towards the defense line of the Eilanhill Empire seemed to realize something. He suddenly raised his head and saw a black shadow above his head, swooping down at an extremely fast speed, and he was close in an instant.
In front of you.
"Boom!" Before he could make any evasive action, the swooping black shadow exploded in front of his face.
After the brilliant flames flickered, a headless corpse of a sweeper staggered and fell onto the dissipating corpses of his companions at his feet.
At the same time, next to the fallen sweeper, another sweeper was also hit by the swooping drone, and became a bloody mess in the explosion.
In the midst of these explosions, Adair slashed at the energy barrier of the conqueror who was firing with his long sword, causing a cloud of sparks to fly.
The conqueror knew that a powerful enemy was coming, so he did not rely on it. He just defended and retreated.
Not far from the two wings, the other conquerors who had not opened fire were already approaching Adair's direction.
"Qiang!" A flying sword passed by one of the conquerors who wanted to reinforce his companions. A swordsman in a white sword robe stepped on the top of a mountain where the corpses of sweepers were piled up, looking at his own
The target's face looked cold.
In front of the conqueror on the other side, three magic circles behind a human magician had lit up, and the wind on the battlefield began to turn cold.
"You want to save your comrades? Then you have to get through me first!" the white-robed swordsman said coldly.
"Are you still in the mood to care about others? You are already dead! Bastard!" On the other side, the magician lit up his magic with both hands and showed a cruel smile on his face.
Three people in different positions on the battlefield took action almost simultaneously.
Adair's long sword was entangled with flames, and the blade became indestructible. He swung the long sword and strode forward, passing by the opponent, and chopped off one of the opponent's arms.
The conqueror turned back with difficulty, and then rushed towards Adair again. Adair smiled and waved his sword towards the opponent and stepped forward again. In the flash of lightning, the conqueror's head flew into the air.
The swordsman in white wrapped a golden energy around his flying sword, and the flying sword cut into the energy barrier like a hot knife cutting into cheese, striking the conqueror inside.
The opponent let out a shrill scream, and at the same time fired a straight black energy ray. The white-robed swordsman didn't care much. After avoiding the energy, he took action again and penetrated the opponent's body with his flying sword.
Body.
The magician struck three bolts of lightning on the conqueror's defensive barrier, and then the huge ice cone spell fell vertically down like a mountain bearing down on top, hitting the already crumbling energy barrier.
When the dying conqueror struggled to stand up from the broken ice, the magician was already standing in front of him. A flame ignited the conqueror's body, and screams immediately echoed over the entire battlefield.
The remaining conquerors on the battlefield saw this scene and seemed to realize that they could no longer penetrate the opponent's defense line.
They turned and retreated, as if they had started to attack without warning. The swarming sweepers also began to retreat backwards, and the destroyers covering them also stopped advancing and began to slowly retreat backwards.
The fierce battle came to an abrupt end, and after the sporadic gunfire ended, everything returned to calm.
Today's battle may have ended, but an hour later, or a few hours later, or a night later, the battle will begin again.
This is something that all the soldiers standing on the Higgs 5 surface defense line have become accustomed to. Everyone knows very well that the enemy may come back at any time.
…
In the universe, inside a Destroyer battleship that was as huge as a planet, Solons listened impatiently to his men, telling them about the various problems that made him very dissatisfied throughout the war.
Originally, he didn't bother to participate in such boring meetings, but recently a series of problems occurred in the offense, which directly led to the bankruptcy of his offensive plan.
The original plan was to capture Higgs 5 within a few days, and then launch an attack on the planets Higgs 3 and Higgs 4 at the same time.
But now, almost a month has passed, and the battle situation on the surface of Higgs 5 is still stalemate, and the Watcher force has not even fully established its advantage.
When something like this happened, Saurons was furious. Before, he had never paid much attention to the Elanthir Empire. Now it seems that this is definitely his arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.
A voice came from the darkness without a trace of emotion. This voice briefly introduced the composition of the troops of the Airan Hill Empire: "The enemy's troops are obviously divided into many levels. The most primitive troops are those used to
Consume our army's magic puppet troops. These troops have relatively weak combat effectiveness and are easily attacked."
"But there are a lot of them, and they can usually consume our offensive troops and slow down our attack speed." The voice echoed in the darkness, and some vague black figures swayed slightly, seeming to be listening to his voice.
"The second type of troops is the core force of their troops. They are very large in number. They wear special armor powered by magic energy and have high combat effectiveness. One of them can eliminate several sweepers, which is very troublesome." Then, the voice continued.
The introduction began.
When this was mentioned, several black figures obviously began to communicate in low voices. They were the Watcher commanders responsible for directing ground operations. Of course they knew those damn opponents.
These opponents have strange marks on their foreheads, and each of them is fearless of death. They are simply the most heroic warriors.
Even if they die, they will complete the task without flinching or escaping. They are more flexible and smarter than robots, and at the same time possess the bravery and tenacity of robots. They are simply a nightmare for their opponents!
At this point, the introduction voice was obviously a little excited: "But this is not the most troublesome. The most difficult thing is that the elite troops they put in, the combat effectiveness of those elite troops even exceeds that of the conquerors, and they often use short assaults to attack
Penetrate our defenses."
"In the area with the most frequent fighting before, the other side invested a large number of elite troops, penetrated our defense line, and advanced hundreds of kilometers." The voice stopped here, as if waiting for others to add.
generally.
Another voice sounded after a moment of silence, a little irritable: "A few hours ago... I really wasn't used to using their units of measurement to describe time and distance! Okay, okay! I'll get used to it... a few hours
Before, they used atomic weapons again...our attack was forced to pause again."
Hearing what his companion said, another voice followed: "The other party is a composite civilization. There is no doubt about this. They consume the precious magic energy resources in the universe and develop atomic weapons and use atomic energy...
"
Such an opponent deserves their attention, because the losses are real, and the most intuitive data that can reflect the strength of the opponent is that in the battle to annihilate the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, the Watchers did not lose so many troops until the end.
Although the losses of the army are just a number to the watchers in a sense, if the losses are too much, it will still bring a little bit of unhappiness to the self-esteemed watchers.
"Although in the universe, atomic weapons are not more powerful than energy weapons, so our battleships can handle it, but... on the ground, our soldiers become vulnerable." The voice continued with some discomfort.
"Once the enemy uses atomic weapons, our losses will skyrocket... This has already caused us to lose a large number of sweeper soldiers." A Watcher commander who seemed to have fought against civilizations possessing atomic weapons said.
"This kind of mixed civilization is definitely more difficult to deal with than the pure civilizations we encountered before, that's for sure." Solens found a way to level up his arrogance.
He paused and continued: "So we can no longer be arrogant and treat each other as a toy. At least this is a hunting, and the prey may also hurt the hunter!"——
