An m4 tank crushed the body of the demon dog that was undulating on the ground, and the tracks crushed it over the flesh and bones.
The body of this tank was slightly tilted because it ran through the corpse. Following the tank was another majestic m4 tank.
The grenadiers scattered around the tanks, holding Mauser 98k rifles with military stings, carefully passing by the corpses of the demon dogs that could no longer move.
"The report said that all the civilians here retreated..." An officer leaned on the jeep, looked at the map in his hand and said to the staff officer beside him: "The retreat near Larmo is very thorough."
"There is no clean retreat nearby, just Alan and Brenno. The retreat here was carried out in advance, and people walked calmly." The staff officer looked at the surrounding ruins and answered.
Because Larmo is located in a remote area, the people retreated in advance, which avoided the tragedy near Alan. However, the retreat was still in a hurry, and many things that seemed very expensive were abandoned.
"Look at this." The officer took out something full of ashes from the car, handed it to the staff officer, and said with a smile: "I don't know that I can see such a kind thing here."
The staff officer took it and saw a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that I could see this here."
He was holding a precious metal lighter in his hand, which was obviously an early industrial product of Iran Hill. This lighter was still very large in size, almost a circle smaller than a cigarette box.
There are also various exquisite patterns carved on it. This early lighter has been completely eliminated. The lighter of Iran Hill is basically of normal design size.
Military lighters are even more interesting. Everyone generally uses zippo-style metal lighters, which are simple to process and durable, with windproof effects.
Some of the early export vessels from Iran Hill can also be found in these ruins. Over time, many areas and civilian living areas of the country seem to be able to see Iran Hill's industrial products.
Although some wood furniture, although not produced by Ailan Hill, can also be seen traces of Ailan Hill's mechanical processing, these equipment were sold to regions such as the Holy Demon Empire, and then transferred to various countries.
"Cheerly check everything nearby! After confirming safety, arrange corresponding defense lines on the edge of the city!" The officer threw the map in his other hand back to the jeep seat and shouted to the soldiers in the distance.
More soldiers began to climb up the ruins, checked every corner with weapons, and then, they found a bunch of disgusting things.
"Sir! I think we found something amazing... maybe some demon's eggs... very... disgusting eggs." A soldier ran over with a pale face and reported their latest discoveries.
This is not the first time that the demon dog's eggs were discovered. In Brenno, the 19th Division troops recaptured there, and they also found such eggs. There is information that the demons are breeding here and expanding their army.
"Let the tank come over! Crush the eggs... and then pour gasoline and burn them all!" The officer frowned and walked in the direction the soldier pointed, while opening his command.
After 17 days of the Battle of Larmo, more than 10,000 demon dogs entrenched near Larmo were wiped out. Because it was an offensive, the 9th Army lost more than 400 soldiers before recapturing the town on the edge of the rift.
The 17-day hard battle made the 9th Army fully realize the strength of the demons. They are not afraid of death. The individual soldiers have very strong combat power, are extremely powerful and have some simple magic, which is very difficult to deal with.
Under the premise of having superior weapons, humans should still be cautious in dealing with these demons. In order to avoid major casualties, the first phase of counterattack was suspended, and the battle target of siegeing the demons was abandoned.
There is also good news. After a brief counterattack, the Human Resources stabilized their retreating position and also found out the approximate combat effectiveness of the demon army.
The Eternal Empire Army, which adapted to the battle against demons and the Iran Hill troops, all achieved good results. Especially the Iran Hill Expeditionary Force, the combat power displayed was amazing.
On the other hand, it comes from the optimization of logistics support: After emergency repairs, the railway terminal is about to arrive at the western border of the Eternal Empire and is about to enter Grecon.
Because the railway was extended and the transportation of materials was accelerated, the logistics supply of the 9th Army was improved, and they had more ammunition and received more other supplies, so their combat effectiveness was naturally stronger.
Also, as time goes by, the follow-up troops of the 9th Army have arrived in the combat area. These infantry divisions can effectively fill the gaps in the defense line, and the heavy artillery troops have also joined the battle, making the defense line of Iran Hill more stable.
Accompanied by the heavy weapons and equipment that were originally blocked on the road, they are now beginning to appear on the front line of the battlefield. The arrival of these weapons and equipment has further enhanced the combat capabilities of the Iran Hill troops.
Weapons and equipment themselves are systemic. When more and more weapons and equipment in a system are added to combat, the system will become more complete and naturally become stronger.
"Let the photographer who followed the army record it, mark the location of the eggs on the map, and ask the magician from the magic department to come here..." Seeing that he was about to reach the place, the officer added his orders.
Soon, the officer stood in front of the eggs, looking down at these disgusting things, and urging the photographer beside him with a disdainful expression on his face: "When taking a photo, find a good angle and take two more pictures as much as possible. The analysis department needs more reference information."
Beside him, the photographer was taking photos of these eggs wrapped in mucous membranes, and beside them, some magicians from Grecon were carefully observing these relics from the demons.
One of the magicians was using perception magic to feel the magical aura in these demon eggs and said, "These demon dogs are indeed produced by demons...these eggs will mature soon."
"They will use magic to give birth to those cubs, which is the same as those low-level magic empires that give birth to young dragons..." Another magician expressed his opinion and explained why there were no cubs of the demon dog.
These demons are born with magic. They begin to absorb the magic around them as soon as they are born, and rely on some means to force these magic into their bodies, growing into demon dog soldiers who are huge enough to directly engage in war.
"It can be inferred that the real demon dog is much stronger than the guys we see." Hearing the explanation from his companion, the magician who spoke first nodded and said.
The officer led by Iran Hill heard this and interrupted and asked, "What do you mean is that we are not fighting against the demon dog? We are just fighting against the low-end version of the demon dog?"
"Yes, it can be said that. Like the giant dragon, those dragon knights are not real dragons, they are just born from magic... some kind of inferior quality." The magicians nodded and expressed their judgment.
"This is really good news..." The officer in charge smiled helplessly and looked at the staff officer beside him: "We must be prepared to deal with the more difficult guys."
"Yes, it's really good news." The staff officer also felt that as they learned more and more about the demons, the news they heard became more and more uneasy.
They heard that there was a powerful demon entrenched near Barraso. They heard that the demons were reproductive and increased their number. They also heard that the demons they deal with now were just low-end versions...
"In fact, the time when the Magic Eye was resurrected before, there were records that at that time, the magicians of Grecon had seen the larger three-headed demon dogs, and many demons could use powerful magic..." A magician said his experience.
Grecon has many magic books, many books that record history, many of which are unknown, and the information in it is also very important.
"Someone has seen 5 demon dogs in the record. That guy can use large magic. Two magicians join forces to kill it." Another nerd looked at the soldiers of Iran Hill pouring gasoline on the demon dog's eggs and said intently.
Listening to these old peddlers in Grecon, several Iran Hill officers couldn't help but shake their heads. These "university professors" who study more magic theory than combat magic can only be of some use in this analysis.
"So, there must be a guy with a head covered with his butt." A staff officer shrugged his shoulders and muttered his thoughts in a low voice: "And this guy with a head covered with his butt is actually the most powerful monster in the world..."
"Puchi..." The officer in charge, who heard the murmur, couldn't help laughing. He looked at the magicians who didn't know what was going on, coughed and covered up his embarrassment: "Let the troops quickly establish a defense line! Prevent those powerful demons from counterattacking!"
Above his head, a group of bombers flew over Larmo gracefully. The bombers were ordered to bomb the surrounding demon troops and gain more time for the ground troops to deploy defense.
The sound of the engine turning was far and clear. On this day, most of the troops of the 9th Army of Iran Hill entered Grecon. On the same day, all the human coalition forces recovered Larmo.
