Chapter 322: Fire Attack
With its strategic location and large garrisons, the fortress of Remlos would become a living target for artillery, elemental towers, and crossbows if it were forced to cross the river, and even the Red Dragon Legion would have to pay a terrible price.
Even if you successfully cross the river, you still have to consider how to climb the cliff, this will be a large-scale battle, and with such a large-scale consumption of troops, it is difficult to say whether you can break through the fortress in the end.
After thinking about it, taking into account the current information, and ruling out the tactics of a forced landing operation, Sal Warsong decided to cross the river in an area of relatively gentle water in the lower reaches of the Seine.
On the other hand, the Lacey Kingdom is not completely unprepared, they clearly know their strengths and weaknesses.
No human army can match the Red Dragons, as has been proven in countless wars, and the only ones that can do their best are the Cliffs of Remlos and the wide Seine River.
If used well, it can even hold off an army of millions, which is also traceable in the national history of the Kingdom of Lacey.
In addition to the fortress of Remloth, a large number of fixed batteries, watchtowers, and about a few hundred soldiers were stationed along the cliffs up and down this stretch of river.
Hearing the information from the giant eagle, the orc shaman sneered.
The frequency of artillery attacks is not high, and it is very easy to explode, and it is not as powerful as the attack power on land when it explodes in the water, and it is not even as lethal as the bow and arrow in a large-scale siege battle.
As long as the aerospace force led by the flying dragon successfully flies to the cliff on the opposite shore, this group of behemoths with a body length of seven or eight meters at every turn enters the battlefield, even a group of high-level professionals will feel a headache, and hundreds of soldiers may not have any ability to resist.
At that time, it means that the war of crossing the river is over.
So, Thrall Warsong gave the order to cross the river.
The Red Dragon Legion's strong combat effectiveness is reflected at this moment, and it is already a regular means of the Red Dragon Legion to open up the situation on the battlefield with air troops, but there is no specific plan for dealing with it on the human side.
The flying knight detoured around the cliff from the side, and a group of orcs wearing iron armor and holding iron axes landed from the sky, cooperating with Wyverns, Chimera, griffins, manticores, etc. to launch an aerial raid, and the next thing that greeted the garrison was a massacre!
On the frontal battlefield, the remnants of the defeated army had no morale to speak of, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Lacey were almost crushed at the touch of a button, throwing down their baggage equipment and wailing towards the rout of the fortress of Remlos.
It didn't take much time for the air forces to fully occupy the heights, and the Warsong Corps began to cross the river in full force.
The Flying Dragons, Chimera, Griffins and other Sky Flying Clans serve as the main transport forces, while some Red Dragon Clans with excellent water properties choose to swim across the river on their own.
Thrall Warsong unites dozens of spellcasters to cast a plastic energy spell to cross the river and build bridges, and multi-line actions can greatly reduce the time required to cross the river.
At this moment, a black viscous liquid suddenly floated downstream, covering almost the entire surface of the sea, looking slimy and disgusting, and emitting a strong pungent smell.
It is an oily liquid called "oil" by alchemists and wizards, and when ignited, it can spread a pale blue demon fire at an extremely fast speed, this flame is highly flammable, and can attach to almost any object and burn, not even water.
If Izawa was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the so-called "fuel oil" was actually oil!
The air on the surface of the river was filled with a strong pungent smell, and Thrall Warsong frowned, he had never seen such a liquid, he stretched out his finger and dipped it a little, only to feel slippery, somewhat like oil.
Oil?
To be on the safe side, Thrall Warsong cast a small spell that sent a small flame from his fingertips, and the black liquid began to burn violently upon encounter.
He is now a vassal of the Red Dragon Emperor's dragon vein, and his body has strong flame resistance, so he is not afraid of the scorching temperature.
But what about other monsters?
He looked up at the river around him, almost all of them were stained with a layer of black oil, and even the Red Dragon Clan, who was struggling to swim towards the opposite bank, was covered with a layer of black oil.
His heart pounded!
Could it be......
If the sinister and cunning humans use fire attack at this pass, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Retreat all!"
"Quick!"
"All back to shore!"
The orc shaman shouted eagerly, but it was too late.
Countless rockets suddenly shot out from between the grass, trees, and vines, the arrows tore through the air, and the arrows wrapped in flames fell into the river, and in an instant, the blue flames spread wildly at a perverted speed.
The two-hundred-meter-wide river was ignited in just a few dozen breaths, turning into a raging sea of fire!
In this case, the Red Dragon Clan, which had already crossed the river, had no way to retreat.
They didn't even have time to react to what was going on, and they were consumed by the demon fire.
The river was surrounded by fire, and the monsters were covered with a layer of fuel oil, and the fire scorched their fur, and the Red Dragon Clan let out a scream of pain in the sea of fire one by one.
The two hundred meters wide and thousands of meters long river was ablaze with fire. The flames soared more than ten meters into the sky, and black smoke mixed with countless poisonous gases rose into the sky.
The oxygen in the fire was consumed in large quantities, and the red dragon clan that was on fire sank under the water, and the flames on their bodies had just been extinguished and had to surface immediately to breathe.
And so, the body was set on fire again......
In just a moment, the Seine River was almost reduced to a purgatory that was devoured by people, and the only ones who were lucky enough to escape it were the water that had not yet had time, and a part of the Red Dragon Clan that had been sent by the air force in advance.
As for the rest, even the casters who had bridged the bridge with plastic spells were consumed by the flames in an instant.
Thrall Warsong stood on the bridge and watched with tears in his eyes, he never expected that humans would have such insidious means of attack.
His eyes were red, and the flames rolled and roared like water.
He himself has extremely strong fire resistance, and he is a high-level spellcaster, so he did not suffer much damage in this fire, but other spellcasters were not so lucky.
The spell barrier didn't last long before it melted away from the flames, which were then ignited by the flames to form a flaming humanoid torch that finally crashed into the Seine.
Thrall War Song reacted completely, the arrangement that was exposed to the giant eagle's vision before was just a decoy, and it was difficult to say whether the hundreds of humans were real soldiers or not, the purpose was to make him have a contempt and attract the Red Dragon Legion to cross the river in this place.
The real killer move is this fire attack!
