Chapter Forty-Seven: One Ride is a Thousand
The burly power armor stood on the battlefield, the twisted steel surface still blackened, and the knight inside was dead, the corpse slumped on the ground, supported by the metal bracket at the crotch, and the head hung low, as if it were sleeping.
And the soldiers under this knight, under the bombardment of artillery fire, completely torsos were completely torn apart, scattered in pools of dried blood all over the battlefield.
The muzzles of the guns in the distance were still roaring, thundering and fire, apparently bombarding the Imperial mortar positions across the trenches.
The Empire was of course retaliating with mortars, but due to the shorter range, the gunners had to rush into range of the Templars before they could fire in a hurry, so the fire was almost completely suppressed by the Templars.
If you really want to destroy this position, you have to charge and fight with bayonets.
So the paradox of this world comes, the bayonet can really fight the artillery.
The reason is also very simple, traditional guns and weapons are designed based on the physique of ordinary humans.
The possibility of "physical blocking bullets" and "instantaneous flash artillery" was not considered at all.
In the face of the ** enhanced transcendent, in order to ensure the effectiveness of technological weapons, corresponding modifications must be made, such as making ammunition shoot faster, or expanding the range of lethality, etc.
In either case, the cost of R&D and manufacturing will increase accordingly. In this regard, the Holy See has already had long-term research results, but at present, due to the magic tide, the corresponding weapon production line has not been restored for the time being.
As long as those tricky things don't show up, Asker still has a way to deal with the current heavy smoothbore mortars alone.
He took one last look at the position in the distance, then ......
Rush out suddenly!
Almost instantly, his speed had reached the extreme, and even the people in the trenches who had been prepared for a long time even saw a vague figure that was almost elongated.
"Wow! The head of the regiment is so fast! Mia exclaimed excitedly, "This speed...... Peggy, can you do it? ”
Peggy also shook her head wistfully. After being promoted to Lv.10 Bloodline, her full speed was actually above this, but she couldn't do it at the moment when she was like a bullet like Asker just now.
It takes a lot of explosive skill.
The Templar position in the distance almost immediately noticed the uninvited guest, and the two mortars that had been prepared around them were rapidly turning their muzzles and adjusting their firing points.
Blow him up!
Cannon flames roared out, and the land where the remnant was located was instantly lifted by the explosion, and thick black smoke rose up.
However, the black smoke was instantly split to both sides, like the sea where a speedboat rowed, and the figure rushed out of the black smoke rapidly, as if it was unscathed, and continued to speed up, and within tens of seconds, it had already crossed a quarter of the distance.
The cannon roared incessantly, and more of the cannon muzzles were being leveled down, aimed at the rapidly approaching enemy in front of them. Obviously, this enemy, who was rapidly closing the distance, was more threatening than the Imperial artillery, which was constantly trying to attack from a distance.
At the same time, countless muzzles were erected on the bunker. Sniper rifles, automatic machine guns, and grenade launchers rained down all sorts of ammunition towards distant figures.
Saturation fire bombardment.
Under the barrage of death, the figure began to change direction with a higher mobility. He first swerved to the right front, leaving most of the bullets behind, and then defied inertia and suddenly turned 90 degrees to the left, slamming diagonally into the second barrage.
The direction of the cut was the weak point of the entire barrage, and only a few bullets were fired at his body, and then the sword was accurately split.
The moment they saw this scene, most of the Templars' heads almost went down.
Truth be told, fast transcendents are not scary, as no matter how fast they are, they can't cover such a long distance in a short period of time, and they will always give the Templars room to react and attack.
Unless it's the speed of light, which is invisible to the naked eye, it's useless to go fast. As long as you calculate the advance of the opponent's movement, and then saturate the barrage of firepower, you can usually kill the opponent on the spot.
However, the freaks the Templars were dealing with at this time, not only because of their speed, but also because of their ability to ignore inertia and make a stop-and-turn attempt. One second he was running to the right, and the next he was cutting to the left.
As a result, calculating his movement route and advance amount has become completely impossible.
This ability to ignore inertia and acceleration is known in the archives of the Holy See as "Reflexive Rush", and is a highly skilled skill belonging to the Illanyan Assassin Order.
Could this person be an assassin in white?
Wrong! That guy is ...... As the figure approached within 400 meters, the moment the Templars saw the appearance of the comer, the layers of fear in their hearts suddenly surged out of the deepest part of their memories like a nightmare.
It's that Azure Sword Saint!!!
"The Chief has succeeded!" Seeing Asker successfully rush into the bunker, Nuremberg and Hans immediately stood up and pressed their swords, "Richard Tnell Swordsmen!" ”
"In!" The swordsmen shouted in unison.
"Charge with me!"
The sound of neat sword drawing sounded, and the swordsmen also jumped out of the trench en masse to join the second wave of charge.
"Let's get ready, too." Sheila turned her head and added a light body technique to Nora, Medea, and herself.
The initial tactic was as follows: Asker was the first to rush into the position, destroying the artillery and disrupting the line of sight; The second wave of Richardnell Swordsmen broke out of the trenches, and since they were all high-level physics transcendents, they also had a minimum resistance to ordinary bullets.
After the swordsmen had crossed the halfway and the Templars had no time to continue blocking the passage, the girls attacked at the end, joining the fray as the final move.
By this time, the swordsmen had already broken out of their trenches, while the Templars in the distance were in the chaos of being attacked by surprise.
Several Templars brandished their swords and attempted to get close to them, before being swept away by spears. More Templars pulled the trigger, and the muzzles of their guns chased Aske frantically around in the midst of fire.
In the player's words, it's called "not knowing who you're aiming at after a cartridge of bullets".
Asker was lightning fast, sometimes moving from Templar to Templar speed, preventing the muzzle of their guns from locking onto his figure. The heavy mortars that scurried close to the bunkers at times slashed the barrels cleanly with a single sword, as if they were made of tofu.
Some of the Templars finally noticed the swordsmen rushing in the distance, and as soon as the muzzle of the sniper gun was turned, the small arm of the spear disappeared...... The "Blue Sword Saint" who was killing in the position did not relax his sight to scan the audience, and once someone raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed it into the distance, he seized the opportunity to shoot at the slightest moment, breaking their arms with precision, and controlling them outrageously regardless of the angle or timing.
In this way, Asker single-handedly destroyed all the mortars in the position, and dragged most of the Templars for nearly two minutes.
As the Richardnell Swordsmen arrived at their positions, the tide of war began to slide in their direction.
