Chapter 127: Before the Storm

Autumn was supposed to be harvest season, but in the face of the undead and the plague, the population of the entire island nation of 20 million has now plummeted to less than 5 million. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Countless cities have been reduced to ruins, rural villages have become habitats for wild beasts, and the miserable situation of thousands of miles of uninhabited people is commonplace.

This is the consequence of the undead catastrophe, and now Mito Kawahide leads millions of undead troops, and is already the most powerful undead lord in the world.

Fortunately, this guy didn't have the means to command so many troops to fight, and the number invested each time did not exceed 200,000, and there were not many superior undead officers as commanders, which gave the Dongying people a chance to breathe.

It's just that without the help of the undead expert temple forces, Lorraine and the others would not have been able to destroy such a huge number of enemies.

Even if the Sons of Heaven base is stretched to the maximum, producing more ammunition to supply to the front line every minute, this will not be enough.

So all Lorraine could think of was the terrible atomic weapons on Earth......

"Knowledge can change our destiny and bring us victory, ladies and gentlemen...... Maybe we'll start a completely different era, but it's all for the Empire! ”

"God bless my emperor! For Britannia! ”

Lorraine, whose face was pale, looked at the group in front of him, half a summer's research allowed magic to communicate, and the integration of Eastern and Western spells may not be possible, but the third batch of reinforcements from Brittania still brought him more beneficial assistance.

A team of more than 1,000 magicians provided technical support, and nearly 100 experiments were conducted large and small, and more than 300 casters and warriors died for it.

But it didn't work in vain...... Even if we can't make that terrible weapon, the critical reaction will be enough to destroy the enemy! ”

"You're right, Your Excellency...... We will not allow the undead to ravage the land of Dongying again. ”

Carl stroked the heavy black notebook in his hand, his face full of vicissitudes, "History is destined to remember us, and all this will be remembered by the world." ”

……

The river is surrounded by outsiders, and the area is contested

When the living army advanced into this open area, the battle between the two sides immediately entered a white heat, and today, when the living people fled one after another, both men and women were distributed to the various phalanxes of the front as combat strength.

"I need more ammo and commanders! Why can't the 72nd Squadron be reorganized now!? ”

"General Alexander! The commander of the 72nd Squadron was grabbed by the ghouls and gnawed his skull in the scuffle just now, and the corpses were trampled into meat sauce! ”

"Damn it! This is the seventh squadron-level commander I lost today, how long will it take for the air support of the Far Eastern Fleet to recover? ”

"It's about an hour to resupply!"

"One hour is enough for the defense line to be breached forty-two times, these sons of bitches bastards!"

No amount of scolding was to avail, and Alexander, as the commander of the Edo Ground Defense Forces, was still on his own to save the boys.

The tide of death rushed in like a sea, and the defenders shouted for artillery support, and immediately caused the enemy troops at the front to roll on their backs.

But this was not enough, the militia units with insufficient melee skills constantly fired from the flanks to weaken the number of undead, and more soldiers raised their shields and swords on top.

Most of these people are Dongying people, even if Lorraine can use interests and morality to kidnap the Dongfang Army and continue to stay in Dongying to fight, but the melee combat of nine deaths can only be done by the Dongying people themselves.

"Let the militia go back another five hundred yards, and the grenadiers will attack immediately, there are just too many damn bugs."

"Understood, sir!"

With the musketeers and archers temporarily out of the field, the pressure on the melee soldiers increased in vain, but soon grenadiers used Holy Water grenades to relieve them.

This kind of one-time special attack equipment for the undead that was born out of the holy water of the Church of Brittany, added with oriental spiritual power and incendiary charms, and was packed in a clay pot is really useful.

The clay shell is fragile but much cheaper than porcelain, and can be placed in a crash backpack when not in use, and when used, it is simply taken out and thrown out.

Convenient, fast, practical and cheap, it is really a personal equipment for home travel, extinguishing the undead - if I have to say the shortcoming, it is that the shelf life is a little shorter.

"Sir, the first array of soldiers needs to retreat, and the casualties are more than three!"

"It's not time yet! Didn't you see that the enemy still had three waves!? ”

The angry Alexander directly drew his weapon and ran to the front line with the lily battle flag, "Soldiers, there is a homeland behind you, you have to hold on!" ”

"Sir! I can't hold on......"

Motivational slogans often make soldiers fight bravely, but this definitely does not include the Dongying soldiers who are at the forefront.

The hastily formed troops were able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the undead was already the existence of the Iron Army, and the problem was that they could not withstand it all the time.

Death is always feared, and the defense force is mostly composed of new recruits - and so, when Alexander wants to follow the example of the historical leader and lead the soldiers to hold on to the defense - the melee fighters flee......

"Hey, hey, hey! Why did you collapse as soon as I came! Come back soon! ”

"Sir, don't talk about it, let's run!"

Finally being dragged away by the adjutant, Alexander's guard lost a third of the time, and the whole army ran for a few kilometers before finally being closed by the gendarmes of the next line of defense.

"Really...... Is...... Laugh out! ”

"Sir! You really think too highly of these Dongying people, if they don't provide them with food and shelter, why would they insist on fighting for what slogan......"

"Hey, I'm naΓ―ve...... Where is Commander Kenshin Uesugi now? Let's transfer those Echigo tigers. ”

"Understood!"

……

Edo Airport, the Far Eastern Fleet under rearmament.

"It's fast! The ground forces are still waiting for our support! Fixed-wing troops hurry up and go to rest and wait for orders at any time! ”

"General Vivien! Commander Alexander had just informed the results of the ground battle, and the defenders had unsurprisingly collapsed, and they were in dire need of artillery support. ”

Vivien sat in the captain's seat on the bridge of Lexington, sipping rum as she listened to the intelligence officer's latest report.

"How's the fleet replenishment?"

"It will take some time for the flagship, and the artillery fleet and the Dongying native defense fleet can return to the battlefield!"

"Very well, let the Rodney lead the team with artillery support."

"Yes!"

Sending her subordinates away, Vivien stepped out of the bridge and looked at a secret place in the airport, which was the special weapons preparation site presided over by Lorraine.

"If you can't do anything, let's leave Dongying quickly...... General Lorraine ......"
