Chapter 108: The Calm Before the War
At dawn, the orcs and zombies who were good at night warfare hid in tall buildings according to the instructions, and the Grand Speaker was not stupid, knowing that during the day his troops would definitely not be better than the human troops with air superiority, so he simply took the opportunity to trim up, and when it was night, it was their home field.
Ryan sat inside the second line of defense, checking his weapons, and the entire line was filled with silent soldiers and the occasional cry.
These children cannot be blamed for this, after all, they are experiencing the cruelty of this kind of war for the first time.
Seeing the comrades-in-arms who have been together for several years being split in two sides around them, or grabbing the spear that penetrated their bodies and twitching there, no one can not feel it, maybe they don't have time to grieve during the battle, but in this interval of the battle, their tears can no longer be held back.
Ryan silently wiped his gun, he was typical of another group of soldiers on the defensive line, they didn't cry, they just prepared their weapons, and they ruthlessly took the hatred back from the enemy.
Henry, the young man who had always been a little out of his way had just swallowed his breath in Ryan's arms, he had fulfilled his duty and defended the homeland with his life, and now, Ryan thought it was time for him to do his duty, which was to avenge Henry, and he remembered that the lizardman, with a scar on his left eyelid, threw a short spear when they were about to retreat to safety, and it was this short spear that killed Henry.
"Now, here's for you." Someone tapped Ryan on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see that it was the Thunder team member who had just fought alongside them, and he was holding four magazines in his hand.
"Thanks, I have." Ryan declined his kindness.
"It's not like yours. It's specially crafted to deal with enemies that can't be used with normal bullets, such as ghosts. ”
Ryan took the clip, "How effective is it against the lizardmen." ”
The black man was stunned for a moment, but he also saw the scene just now, and he understood Ryan's feelings, "To be honest, it won't be better than ordinary bullets, but it's not worse either." Lizardmen don't have the same defensive power as orcs, so calmly wait for your chance and you will be able to avenge your companions. ”
"Thank you, this is my greatest wish right now."
War matures quickly, and soldiers pack up their moods, pack their equipment, and look forward to the next battle.
The orcs on the opposite side were also recovering their bodies, excited by the bloody slaughter, and the soldiers on both sides were waiting for their respective orders, all they needed to do was to take out the enemy.
In the rear, the commander has much more to do. Arnold studied in front of the tactical map without raising his head, and from time to time asked whether the various troops had reached the designated position and the readiness of various combat resources, and under his planning, a huge trap was gradually laid in Chicago, waiting for the prey to take the bait.
As an advisor to the Brotherhood, Fauber looked at this scene in the headquarters and couldn't help but think of an old Chinese saying: The husband who wins the temple without a fight has to be counted as much.
Fu Bo nodded, that little guy Li still sees people so accurately, although this person has some flaws in his personality, he is a famous general.
With both sides anxiously waiting, the day finally passed, and the night came again. Tall orcs stepped out of the building, stretching their muscles and waving their weapons.
Behind them were men in black robes with long rods in their hands, and ogres with long hands and long feet and fangs.
Those black-robed men were the necromancers who appeared in the cemetery, and the wizards who practiced other dark magic, and this time the Speaker sent them all to the front to make sure that they could finish the battle.
At the back was still the endless army of the undead, and this was back at the showdown, where all the classes were on display.
With orcs and ogres in front, undead armies and lizardmen taking cover, and enhanced zombies and nezumi attacking from the walls and underground, the Grand Council believes that a satisfactory result will be achieved tonight.
When the appointed time came, the wizards began to cast spells, and soon, all kinds of buff spells were attached to the main troops, the tall orcs increased in a circle, and the blood vessels of the whole body appeared on the muscles like small snakes, and the scarlet eyes and white gas spewing from the mouth and nose turned them from monsters into fierce beasts.
The Great Bloodthirsty Technique, even the nezumi and the lizardmen are stimulated to try, not to mention these orcs who are already manic.
Roar! With an earth-shattering roar, the monster legions poured into the human defense line like a black tide.
The orcs charged furiously, all the obstacles in their path could not stop them, and an abandoned bus was swept up to three floors by an orc with an axe, and telephone booths, telephone poles, and the like were only a little wreckage on the ground in the first contact.
Listening to the deafening sound ahead, even the battle-hardened green berets had some drums in their hearts, let alone the National Guard, which had only fought one battle.
Fortunately, Arnold had anticipated this for a long time, and in the footage fed back by the reconnaissance aircraft, when the monster frenzy reached a kilometer from the line of defense, a calm command sounded in the communication channel: "Fire!" ”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The self-propelled guns behind the line began to tell the monsters why they were the kings of the battlefield.
This artillery fire gave these monsters who thought Lao Tzu the best in the world a blow to the head, and the shock wave and metal turbulence formed by shells of various calibers raged among them, and the first to bear the brunt were zombies and relatively weak lizardmen.
The group of wizards who had unleashed their bloodthirsty spells looked at the Flame Hell in front of them, their faces pale, and they were extremely glad that they didn't have to charge with the large army.
The artillery fire also reassured the ordinary soldiers of the defensive line, and in their opinion, this group of stupid monsters who only knew about medieval charges was nothing remarkable.
In fact, Arnold's main purpose in arranging this shelling was also this, he knew very well that all that could be killed by artillery were cannon fodder, and the real elite was not so easy to consume.
Soon, the battle situation entered the moment of hand-to-hand combat, as he had thought.
The orcs who received the bloodthirsty technique and launched the charge did not have any negative emotions such as fear, and under the impact of artillery fire, they did not hesitate to charge forward unless they died on the spot. And the reinforced zombies and ratmen and other troops that were some distance away from the ground troops were not harmed too harshly, and still followed the pace of the orcs.
After the wizards in the rear packed up their feelings, they also scattered to reinforce the front under the strict orders of the Grand Speaker, and the real battle was about to begin.
