Chapter 131: Iceberg Attack and Defense
Keppel was the commander of the Scarab Company's army. Anxious to make a greater contribution, he did not choose to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but was ready to attack as fast as possible while staring at the remnants of the abyss on the other side of the portal was unstable.
Leaving the cruise, Keppel boarded the iceberg. Eliza Supreme was watching from the bridge of the cruise ship behind her, and there could be no mistakes in this battle.
A demon has just burst out of the portal, and after flying around the iceberg, it flies into the portal again. Although the soldiers of the Scarab Company continued to shoot at the demon, none of them left him behind.
"Set up five heavy machine-gun fire points on the edge of the iceberg to form cross-fire on the portal; The 2nd and 3rd Squadrons of the Silver Wing remained at an altitude of 200 meters, and when they found that the demon had come out again, they did not need to ask for instructions to attack immediately; Airships No. 2654, No. 3659 and No. 5791 formed an air firepower network to provide support for the Silver Wing operation......"
Staring at the demons in the hands of the remnants of the abyss, Keppel became cautious when attacking. He didn't know what was going on on the other side of the portal, and if the Gazing Abyss relied on the terrain on the other side to block the exit of the portal, then the Scarab Company, which could not give full play to its personnel advantages, might suffer very big losses.
In addition, Gazing into the Abyss is also a powerful sect with a long history, and it is difficult to guarantee that they do not have reinforcements or magic skills that are difficult to deal with.
Therefore, before attacking the portal, Keppel first strengthened the defense on this side of the portal.
The side of the portal occupied by the Scarab Company is very advantageous to the defenders. The portal is located in the middle of the iceberg, and the firepower network set up around it can condescendingly block all angles of the portal.
On the iceberg platform, there are gun-wielding infantry and heavy machine-gun fire points; Further up are the Silver Wings; Behind the Silver Wing is an airship.
The lower, middle and upper three-layer firepower network is matched with light and heavy, and the firepower is fierce. No matter what comes out of the portal, even the demon can beat him into a sieve in an instant.
In the narrow area of the portal, Keppel didn't believe anyone could break through the line.
It's time to think about how to rush in, first by conducting a reconnaissance on the other side of the portal......
Keppel brought in a detachment of hoplites.
Three war fortresses and fifteen heavily armored infantry were the hoplite units. They stood in front of the portal, the war fortress in front and the hoplites behind. The hoplites were all magicians, armed with a special alchemical shield and armed with a short-barreled shotgun that could be fired with one hand.
The hoplite's mission was to enter the portal, record the arrangement of the opposite side and immediately retreat, and then leave it to Keppel to devise offensive tactics.
After the final pre-battle inspection was carried out to confirm that all the equipment was operational, the hoplite unit was discharged in an assault formation, the bullets and shells were loaded, and the firing angles of the muzzles and muzzles were fanned out. After rushing through the portal, they can suppress fire in all directions in the shortest possible time.
"Prepare to enter the ......" Keppel shouted to the hoplites from the platform of the iceberg, "3, 2, 1...... Offensive! ”
The War Fortress released the stored air pressure, and the multi-legged mechanical legs smashed the ice under their feet and rushed towards the portal, and the hoplites behind followed closely with heavy shields.
However, just as the War Fortress was about to touch the portal, the light on the portal flickered, and a large group of galloping hellish nightmares rushed out of it and crashed headlong into the War Fortress.
Hell Nightmare is a high-level creature born as a tenth-order, naturally good at fire magic and spiritual magic, and its own strength and defense are also very high, and it is the main heavy cavalry in the Hell military sequence. When these nightmares hit the War Fortress, they simply broke the mechanical legs and lowered the mechs to the ground.
The Nightmare continued to gallop, unleashing flames that swept forward, enveloping the hoplites who had erected their shields for defense.
The screams woke the stunned warriors. None of them could have imagined that a creature would emerge from the portal, possessing the body of a horse with flames burning on its body. They can collide with steel and unleash fire-based magic.
This monster that has never been seen before has a terrifying aura up and down. And there is more than one such monster, rushing out from the first monster, and the same monster is constantly pouring out.
"It's a hellish nightmare." Keppel was the first to react, he pulled out his pistol and shot at the nightmare below, while shouting to his subordinates: "Shoot, shoot, shoot now!" ”
For a while, there was a lot of gunfire.
Long guns, short guns, light and heavy machine guns spew tongues of fire at the same time, pouring ammunition at the nightmare below. Using armor-piercing, the Silverwing in the air fires deadly bullets at Nightmare's vital point.
The unfamiliar attack method made the first batch of nightmares that rushed out suffer a big loss. Their body's defenses were stacked high enough to withstand ordinary bullets thanks to the blessing of state magic, but they were pierced by the special armor-piercing projectiles fired by the Silver Wing.
The three nightmares let out a wail and fell to the ground.
However, the other Nightmares immediately unleashed their field shields to block the incoming bullets, and used healing magic on each other to heal their injured companions.
At this point, the Cerberus rushed out after the Nightmare.
Cerberus is a mid-level creature that is born as a fifth-order creature, and some Cerberus can evolve into a sixth-order three-headed hellhound. Cerberus is a hussar species of the forces of Hell, they are extremely agile and ferocious, and love to tear their enemies to pieces.
The combination of Cerberus and Nightmare is the invincible assault force of the Hell Army. The Nightmare is responsible for breaking through the enemy's defenses, and the Cerberus follows up and tears to widen the gap for the Hell army behind.
After rushing out of the portal, Cerberus rushed forward with his claws hooked at the ice wall and shot at the soldiers shooting above. The nightmare below immediately used magic to provide cover for the Cerberus, steaming flames spewed upwards, and psychic magic directly knocked some soldiers to the ground.
It only took one charge for the Cerberus to rush to the platform of the iceberg. Panicked soldiers in front of them, the bullets of ordinary guns can't break through master-level defense magic for a short time, while the claws and teeth of Cerberus can easily tear through the soldiers' bodies.
The Scarab Company's iceberg defenses collapsed, and the soldiers jumped into the sea to escape the culling of the Cerberus.
The Silver Wings in the sky quickened the rate of fire, the airship lowered its altitude, and the heavy machine guns and cannons frantically tilted their ammunition at Nightmare and Cerberus.
As the number of Nightmares increases, larger and stronger defenses unfold on the iceberg. And when Hell Queen came out of the portal to join the battle, she shot fireballs from the iceberg upwards......
The Scarab Corporation's air power is engaged in air combat with the ground forces of the demon army.
