Release that Witch - Chapter 999

[Chapter 981 Unexpected Start]

At dawn, morning light climbed to the high place on the slope, staring at the busy but well-organized position in front of him, his mind was full of thoughts.

This is not the first time he has been on the battlefield in person… At the age of fifteen, he had already been an excellent knight retinue, following the lord to charge into battle, and when he became an adult, he even won the reputation of the number one knight in the western region.

War should no longer be unfamiliar to him.

But here, he felt a completely different atmosphere.

Before the nobles went to war, they yelled, rewarded, and ate and drank, so as to improve the morale of the team. Therefore, the free folk and mercenary camps were often immersed in a chaotic carnival. City is no different.

Whenever this happened, the knights would laugh at their men as stupid asses, who could get carried away with a few slices of cheese and bread, but they didn’t know that these things were in exchange for their lives.

At that time, Ferlin Sylt also deeply believed that only the nobles knew how to fight. Without the spur of the leader, no matter how many free people there were, they would be nothing but scattered sand.

It wasn’t until Duke Ryan was defeated by a group of miners in Border Town that he realized that the facts were somewhat different from what he thought.

It’s just that he realized his wish for revenge at that time, but he didn’t continue to delve into it, but put all his energy on his wife Irene.

Two years later, Dawn Chenguang, who decided to join the staff because of his father’s conversation, found that the war had completely changed.

If the discipline shown by the First Army during the march of the past month had surprised him, then the professionalism displayed by the soldiers at this moment is enough to make most nobles feel ashamed.

Without any encouragement, everyone was familiar with their tasks: several trenches at the bottom of the slope were excavated, all the topsoil was put into cloth bags, and simple low walls were piled up in front of the machine gun positions.

Barbed wire and temporarily processed wooden horses are also interspersed in the middle of the trench. It is almost as difficult to break through the front as to capture the city wall of a main city.

There are multiple buffer areas behind the line of defense. Even if the machine gun positions are breached, it does not mean that the battle is over. Even if the Taquila Witch protects the barrier of the artillery battalion, it is also a reserve force that can support the front line at any time.

And the top of the slope at the rear is the core of the first army’s attack – six fortress guns are erected high, pointing directly at the direction of the devil’s outpost. Prepare.

There was no need for the commander to order all of this one by one. In just one day, the First Army transformed this place into a qualified battlefield.

Filmin had seen the power of new firearms in artillery drills, but that was always a foreign object—the operator of the weapon would eventually fall on the person.

And these soldiers made up of free people were what impressed him the most.

Such a well-disciplined team with a clear division of labor is difficult even for a knightly group formed by a nobleman.

Even though the changes among the people were already noticeable in Neverwinter, it was nothing compared to the impact of the scene before them.

“Now do you know?” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Li Xiaochen, “The answer to that question before.”

Flynn turned his head and nodded to Sir Sylt, “Yes, father.”

Why when His Majesty announced that he would unify Graycastle in just a few months and march into Hermes and Dawn Kingdom at the same time, not only did the staff not raise strong objections, but instead formulated a bunch of seemingly inconceivable plans.

Because of having such weapons and such fighters, no one on the continent is his opponent, or in other words… other hostile forces are not worth mentioning compared to him.

“It’s a pity that His Majesty expressly forbids nobles to join the fighting force,” Ferrin said with a little regret, “Compared to sitting in the study, I would rather try to fight side by side with these people—”

“Personal bravery is of little importance now, the staff department is the most suitable place for you.” Jazz said with a smile, “Besides, what should I do if something goes wrong when fighting an unknown enemy like the devil? I’m still waiting What about the grandson. Didn’t that good friend of Irene just gave birth to one recently, so you have to work harder.”

“Father!” Feilin couldn’t help but support his forehead and said.

“Okay, okay, I don’t want to say it,” Sirte stroked his beard, “The sun is almost approaching the horizon, let’s go back to the tent, the artillery battalion should be about to fire – I can’t bear the sound of that thing No.”

“Yes,” Li Xiaochen looked at the position for the last time, and then walked down the high ground with his father.

It’s time for him to go to another battlefield and complete his duties.

…

At five o’clock in the evening, the shelling officially began.

The six cannons fired sequentially according to the pre-adjusted firing angles, tearing apart the silence of the Fertile Plain in an instant.

After more than four hundred years, human beings once again set foot on this land and launched an attack on the devil.

First, there were two rounds of test firing to correct the errors on the paper. When Sylvie gave the feedback of the hit, the sound of the guns became uniform.

The improved 152mm fortress gun is a little closer to its predecessors in history. In order to increase the firing range, the medicine room has been enlarged, and the shells have also been loaded in sections. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com has a faster rate of fire The cannon should be half a beat slower.

However, driven by higher chamber pressure, these artillery pieces are enough to pose a deadly threat to fixed targets ten kilometers away.

The extended range also brought about an increase in self-weight and greater logistical pressure. The final solution was to disassemble four of the cannons and transport them by Taquila’s worm carrier.

No one can see the roar and flames when the warhead hits the ground. This is a brand new mode of warfare. If the soldiers had not experienced many shelling battles, it would be hard for the soldiers to believe that they could fight in a stress-free environment without facing the enemy. In this way, the enemy’s strongholds and cities can be destroyed by just a few repeated actions.

There are two main reasons for choosing to attack when the sun goes down. One is that the observation of the magic eye does not depend on sunlight, and it can also guide the artillery to correct shooting points at night; Only passive beatings.

The fortress guns fired every two minutes, and apart from the faint thunder coming from the skyline, the battlefield shrouded in night looked unchanged.

But in Sylvie’s eyes, the land ten kilometers away looked completely different——

The air waves from the explosion turned over the ground in the strike area, and more than half of the more than ten Blackstone Towers were bombarded to pieces. Especially when the shells penetrated the fog storage towers, the deflagration caused could instantly shatter the black stones into pieces. Become an erupting volcano.

But from the beginning to the end, she did not find any trace of the devil.

Until the next morning, when everyone thought that the enemy had abandoned the outpost, the accident happened suddenly.

A large group of devils suddenly appeared in the north of the First Army’s position, eight kilometers away from Wangbei Slope!

At the same time, Sylvie also observed signs of activity by dozens of dire beasts—these enemies, who had disappeared for several days, rushed towards them like dark clouds.
