"Boom!" The heavy artillery of the Ailanthir Empire is still roaring in the demon world. Even in the ice and snow, the Ailanthir Empire's advance is proceeding slowly.
This 155 mm caliber self-propelled howitzer fired a powerful shot at an artillery position far away from the battlefield. A plume of black smoke from the explosion immediately rose from the mountains in the distance.
The demons commanded by Demon King Aresia have been preparing to contact Elanthir. Some of them have surrendered, and the rest of them have wavered in their stubborn resistance.
But not all demons are ready to change their masters. In the mountainous areas further north, the demon troops are still resisting with their defense lines.
They built several lines of defense along the mountains and forests. Because the Irish troops were not determined to attack, they stabilized their lines of defense and persisted until now.
"Boom!" Ailan Hill's howitzer roared again, and halfway up the mountains in the distance, a wisp of black smoke once again rose.
The sound of exploding artillery shells echoed in the valley, and the attack of the Eilanhir Empire was proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Have the attacking troops gone up?" Putting down his telescope, a general with a star on his shoulder asked the adjutant beside him: "Is there any news about the troops of the 1st Battalion?"
"They were blocked right in front. The devil troops dug trenches there and deployed a large number of archers..." The adjutant pointed to the mountainside over there and said to the general beside him.
The general responsible for commanding this offensive operation nodded and ordered: "Let the heavy artillery troops suppress the opponent! Keep firing! Let the troops of the 1st Battalion break through this line of defense as soon as possible!"
"Yes! General!" The adjutant stood at attention and saluted, and then went to convey his order. Soon, more artillery began to attack behind the observation post.
The sound of artillery that had just stopped became intensive again. On the hillside in the distance, wisps of black smoke gradually became one after another.
"Boom!" Another blast of artillery echoed in the valley, and most of the dense artillery sound that had just been concentrated seemed to have drawn a pause and suddenly dispersed.
Then, vaguely, I heard the distant, very slight sound of machine gun fire coming from the dense forest on the mountainside in the distance: "Thud, tug, tug, tug!"
The sound of the machine gun was also mixed with the sound of rifle burst fire, but because of the distance, these sounds were not so obvious.
"Report! A call from the 1st Battalion! They have captured the position where the demons are stationed... The opponent has suffered heavy losses and is organizing a retreat."
"The 2nd Battalion of the Heavy Armored Grenadier has begun the attack! The yellow smoke over there is from them!" The adjutant pointed to the other side, the yellow signal smoke that had spread halfway up the mountainside.
These brightly colored signals are identification signals for friend or foe instructing aircraft to bomb. Once the yellow smoke fills the air, it proves that the nearby positions have been completely occupied by the Eilanhir Empire.
As for the red smoke, it tells the bombers to hit hard without showing any mercy.
Two A-10 attack planes flew over the battlefield one after another. This was not a major battlefield, so the intensity of the battle could not be compared with that on the frontal battlefield.
Dispatching two battalions to attack at the same time here is already a very large-scale battle. The demons can't gather many people, and a few thousand people are already a very large army.
Nowadays, thousands of demons are resisting on the top of the mountain. They have no way to retreat, because after climbing over the top of the mountain, there is a plain with a wide view.
This kind of terrain is really suitable for the performance of the Elanthir Empire, so the demon commander decided to stop Elanthir's attacking troops on this side of the mountain despite heavy losses.
"Bah! Baht!" The Avenger cannon of the A-10 attack plane began to roar, which immediately covered up the intermittent gunfire in the distance.
On the mountainside where the woods were no longer dense, the A-10 attack planes' strafing immediately made the Devil's defense line jump.
"I heard that some demons have surrendered?" He raised his telescope again and looked at the mountainside in the distance. The general asked a topic that had nothing to do with the battlefield.
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "His Majesty has issued an order, and the front line will receive 20,000 demon prisoners."
"Twenty thousand... not much..." The general still held the telescope and looked at the mountains in the distance. He sighed and then continued: "I heard that they have all been assigned to mine?"
"Yes, there was a coal mine before, and it was mined by these demons. Their mining speed was not fast, and it was easy to collapse." The adjutant knew this matter very well, because as senior commanders, they just held a meeting yesterday to introduce the demons.
Liaison meeting for surrender.
"I think we should try to arm some demon soldiers and let them fight with our own people!" The general kept holding the telescope and said absently: "Let them bite dogs, I think.
It will be exciting.”
"Marshal Wageron is worried that if we arm these demons, they will turn their guns and attack us." The adjutant told what was discussed during the meeting.
"You are still too kind and too young." The general finally put down his telescope, because he had already seen that the eagle flag of the Eilanhir Empire had been planted on that position.
A smile that was either cruel or relaxed appeared on the officer's face, and he continued: "We just need to do what has already happened on the Magic Continent and do it again."
He pointed to the mountain in the distance and explained to his adjutant: "For this kind of thing, just ask their demon leader to explain it."
"Tell them, if one of our armed demon troops rebels, then we will kill the same number of demon captives! If there is a second demon army that rebels, we will kill four times the number of demons..." The general
He made a beheading gesture.
"Is this...is this okay?"
"Why not? Isn't this what was done in the past?" The general said lightly: "110 years ago, in my hometown, the nobles of the Arant Empire did this!"
"Gudu..." The adjutant swallowed. He nervously turned his head and glanced at his immediate superior. He did not see ruthlessness and determination in his eyes, but saw a trace of sadness and unwillingness.
"I hope that after General Waggron sees my report, he will carefully consider the suggestion of letting the demons conquer the demons." After he finished speaking, he pointed to the mountains in front of him: "Let's go and push the headquarters over there.
! Cross these two mountains! Tomorrow, continue the attack!"——
There will be another update later, you can watch it tomorrow morning
