Release that Witch - Chapter 1183
[Chapter 1156 The Battle of Taquila (Part 2)]
After skimming over the position, Lightning climbed to high altitude again, and then… stopped.
“What’s the matter?” Maggie asked, raising her head.
She didn’t answer, but turned around and looked down in the direction of Taquila—in the dark night sky, two hundred meters was almost the limit of her visual distance, trying to find the Demon Slayer under such conditions was tantamount to Find a needle in a haystack.
But it doesn’t matter that she can’t see.
Lightning knew that the other party could see her.
From the direction of Taquila, she should be facing the moon right now. As long as the Demon Slayer raises his head, it is impossible to ignore a little black shadow in the white of the moon.
But it didn’t catch up.
The only reason could only be that the other party has realized that her speed is far beyond its reach.
It gives up on futile attempts.
She won this round!
Lightning took a deep breath and stretched out her right hand into the night. Although her fingertips were still trembling slightly, she still mustered up the courage to raise her middle finger.
That was the gesture His Majesty taught her, symbolizing victory!
Then she turned around and flew towards her camp without looking back, and at the same time told Sylvie what she saw.
“Is it a regular cylinder of God’s Stone of Retaliation…I see.” The latter recorded the approximate size and handed it over to Agatha.
Estimating the shape of the shadow and the location of the stone pillar based on the volume of the sacred stone is a basic skill for senior members of the Quest Society. Soon, the corrected data was sent back to the observation room.
Although there are visual errors in this, it is better than firing randomly.
Sylvie picked up the phone of the Artillery Battalion after using her magic eye to judge the position.
After a while, the first roar erupted from the artillery position of the fortress!
Although the flames that came out of their bodies were fleeting like fireflies, they were still extremely eye-catching to the plain shrouded in darkness.
Especially when more artillery joined the attack, the light blooming from the muzzle even faintly reflected the outline of the position.
Sometimes the flame tail brought out by the warhead will draw a short trajectory, as if it is a shooting star jumping from the ground.
On the other side, the reverberation of the explosion was endless, and the Fertile Plain, which was sleeping, was finally awakened.
“It’s so beautiful…” Maggie murmured ecstatically as she looked at the artillery positions that appeared and disappeared from time to time without blinking.
Lightning stood against the wind and clenched its fists.
——Now, there is only the last level left.
…
Ersruk floated in mid-air, watching with indifference the piles of mud pillars rising in front of and behind its troops – this is the most threatening attack method for human beings so far, as long as the projectile falls in the army, it can instantly Take the lives of more than a dozen protozoans.
And its power does not need to be displayed through contact, even if it is tens of meters apart, the iron pieces ejected from the projectile are enough to pierce armor and tear flesh.
Even it is not sure to block a direct hit.
In the report submitted to the Maharaja, Lord of the Sky, it named this weapon “Fire Rain”.
In addition, there are “fire crossbows” that can continuously shoot crossbow bolts, and “fire branches” that can be carried by a single person… All the current evolution of human beings undoubtedly comes from the element of fire.
Compared with the “inheritance and promotion” that the Maharaja thinks, it is more inclined to be an accident-in terms of the diversification of abilities, witches are better. The study of fire is not impossible to achieve a large-span improvement.
But even if humans have embarked on a path that completely deviates from them, it does not mean that it is helpless.
For example, the Rolling Stones made from the Origin of God’s Punishment showed hardness enough to withstand fire and rain.
Ersruk clearly saw that the sacred stone remained intact after several direct hits and violent explosions. When the opponent’s throwing object hit the edge of the stone pillar, it would even bounce off without leaving a hole.
The real danger is the rain of fire that happens to pass over the stone pillar and smash into the group of “tombstones”.
Their invulnerable armor is completely vulnerable to fire and rain, and as long as they get hit, they will basically be torn apart.
The irony is that Wang Zeng had high hopes for this extremely sturdy symbiote, which felt neither pain nor fear, and believed that it was the most valuable breakthrough obtained from the “inheritance fragments”, which not only greatly enhanced the frontline The supply ability also enriches the combat methods of the ethnic group.
Only a hundred tombstones are needed to completely wipe out human beings—that is, the low-level bugs in the eyes of most people.
So the Maharaja handed over the tombstones to it, no more and no less, exactly one hundred.
As a result, after more than half a year of fighting, not only humans were not wiped out, but Taquila was already on the verge of collapse.
As for the tombstones that Ersruk can still drive, there are less than 40% left.
If the Vault of Heaven Lord didn’t trust the king too much on this point at that time, how could it be so stretched now?
If these symbionts are consumed on the road, it can only be resisted by the protozoa.
That’s not much different from dying—the impact of the fire rain on the God’s Punishment Stone Pillar is definitely not something the protozoa can resist, and even the black stone claws of the tombstone may be broken, let alone the flesh?
But Ersruk didn’t care.
Because these sacrifices are worth it.
And humans… will pay for their sacrifice.
…
At ten o’clock in the evening, the underground headquarters.
The battle has been going on for nearly three hours now, and every five minutes, Iron Ax can hear the dull shelling sound from above his head, and at the same time, there is sparse dust falling down.
Other than that, there was no movement on the ground, as if the devil hadn’t launched a general attack, and the First Army had been firing into the air from the beginning to the end.
This is very different from the experience of previous wars.
In order to save ammunition and protect the barrel, he has asked the artillery battalion to extend the firing interval, and aimed most of the firepower at the rear of the shadow.
The problem is that, even if such a blow has caused real damage to the devil, the results of the battle cannot be observed through the magic eyes.
The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that the 152mm fortress gun cannot destroy the God’s Punishment Stone Pillar.
Although the intensive shelling can minimize the movement speed of the black shadow, it will always recover, and it is not known how the spider demon made such a big guy roll over the crater.
“Damn it,” Iron Ax angrily punched the table, “If it was daytime, these monsters wouldn’t be alive at all!”
The biggest trouble the First Army is currently facing is that no one knows where the shells landed—if the artillery wants to hit the target, it has to correct the landing point through multiple test shots, but in the face of two shells with a width of 100 More than 50 meters, with a nearly infinite blind spot, every shot is equivalent to a test shot without feedback.
According to Sylvie’s observation, the Demon Slayer didn’t break into the camp, but kept cruising above the black shadow, obviously guarding against lightning.
Although the speed of the latter is higher than that of the enemy, but the high-speed flight consumes a lot of magic power, and it is okay to intersperse twice. The location of the landing point is too dangerous.
Not getting feedback means that no additional blows can be made.
As a result, it has become difficult to quickly eliminate the enemy’s vital forces through intensive firepower.
The situation at this moment was like a bet. He could pour all the shells into the shadow to stop it from advancing completely, but as long as the enemy retreated the spider demon, the first army would be wasting ammunition.
In addition, there are many madmen on the two wings other than the black shadow, who seem to want to form a double-team situation.
If you aim the artillery at them, you can know the result of the battle immediately, but these demons are very sparsely distributed, and it is a pity to deal with them exclusively.
“That’s why the enemy chooses to attack at night.” Edith said calmly, “This is already a gratifying result… Without Sylvie, let alone the black shadow blind spot, we don’t even know where the enemy is. I don’t even know. Besides, the devil is always on the side of the beating, and it’s not in a hurry, so why should you care.”
“I just don’t want to waste the ammunition I have accumulated so hard.” Iron Ax frowned.
“Don’t worry, they can’t push that thing all the way down. I think the opponent knows this too. They will launch a general attack when they get close to the range of the mortar.” Pearl of the North raised the corner of her mouth slightly, “It’s a pity that the devil didn’t I don’t know, the night is only temporary, and when they enter the range of the flares, it will be time to decide the outcome.”
