Chapter 1861: Into the Twilight Dales (III.)
Before the "Decapitation Assault Company" of the "Viglaf Division" set off, Pastor Sindra blessed the "Death Prevention Enchantment" one by one with a magic wand, and the mage of the company opened the "Invisible Orb" to provide cover for his companions. The rest of the company drank the "Evil Protection", "Invisible See" and "Flight" potions in advance. After everything was ready, all the members of the "Decapitation Assault Company" disappeared, and under the leadership of Zhuoya and Anton, they took off into the air and sneaked towards the rear of the enemy army, searching for the senior cadres of the Naraku Order who were secretly manipulating the undead army.
At the same time that Zoya and Anton set out, the grenadier regiment of the Viglaf division was also ordered to march forward in thirty military vehicles, and within ten minutes it broke away from the large garrison and approached the downward sloping rift two miles away.
The lieutenant colonel who led the team gave an order, and thirty magic military vehicles stepped on the brakes at the same time and stopped in a relatively wide area in front of the rift. The tall grenadiers jumped out of the military vehicles one after another and formed a formation on the spot. In groups of three people, one person takes the grenadier from the car, opens the bracket and places it on the ground to ensure the stability of the gun body; The second person was the observer of the group, with the help of a telescope and a slide rule to determine the elevation angle of the shelling; The last man, who was often the strongest, carried a box of shells from a military vehicle to his teammates and was responsible for delivering ammunition to the grenadiers.
After just five minutes, the grenadier regiment had completed all the preparations before the operation. The regimental commander picked up his binoculars and observed the rift, three hundred yards away, where a large swarm of undead could lurk. The rift valley stretches along the ridge longitudinally, and it is not clear that it is the product of crustal changes, or the dissolution of underground rivers, and if it were not for the narrow and zigzag crevasses above, it would almost be a natural tunnel, unfathomably deep.
The regimental commander lowered the binoculars, raised his right arm and waved it forward. One of the two heralds behind him immediately waved the signal flag, and the other vigorously blew the whistle with an additional "amplification technique" to convey the order to launch an attack to the officers and men of the regiment in different ways.
The grenadiers responded to the call, and the gunners drove the smoothbore shells equipped with tail fins into the grenadier barrels from the muzzle, and the metal firing pins pierced the iron sheet to hit the primer, and with a muffled bang, the shells broke away from the chamber under the impact of high-pressure gases and rose into the air, dragging a white arc-shaped wake, whistling towards the entrance of the rift.
The first salvo fired a total of 300 mortar shells, only a few of which were lucky enough to burrow into the rift, and the rest crashed into the rock wall near the entrance to the rift and exploded, emitting a strong glow, and the damage to the mountain was far less spectacular than the sound and light.
The grenadiers were not surprised by this. The first round they fired was an ordinary "flare", not to kill the enemy, but to dispel the darkness in the deep valley and provide a wider field of view for the subsequent shelling.
The Pegasus Sentinel, who was spotting the enemy in the air, could faintly see ghosts shaking in the depths of the rift with the help of cannonball lighting, so it was certain that there were large groups of undead lurking in the rift!
This information was quickly conveyed to the grenadier commander who was at the forefront, and immediately ordered the whole regiment to be reloaded with "daylight bombs" and launch a second wave of bombing.
The gunners and observers on the position used the light to recalibrate the elevation angle of the projectile, and then loaded the more expensive irrigation shells and blasted towards the entrance to the rift. Hundreds of cannonballs soared into the air like flocks of birds, sliding out of arcs in the air, and most of them burrowed into the cracks of the rift valley as if they had eyes, and then exploded, bursting with a roar as hot as the midday sun.
At this moment, there are thousands of undead creatures hiding in the rift and preparing to unleash undulating attacks. The previous wave of flares only had 0 rings of "Light Magic" attached, and although it could emit a bright and long-lasting glow after exploding, it was only a cold light created by magic, and it had no effect on the undead. The next "daylight bullet" that exploded was very different, the three-ring "daylight spell" infused into the cannonball was like real sunlight, which could suppress - or even directly kill - undead creatures. This group of undead who hid in the dark rift valley and could not see the light suddenly suffered hundreds of "daylight bullets" bombardment, all of which were illuminated to the smallest detail, and they immediately fell into chaos. A small number of vampires hiding in the zombie hordes have a near-immortal physique, and can be reborn even if they are broken into thousands of pieces, but they are afraid of the sun, and when they are hit by daylight bullets, they spontaneously combust on the spot, and they are burned to ashes in a few seconds.
The necromancer and Priest Naraku, who secretly control this army of undead, have realized that something is wrong. If they continue to hold their ground, the frightened undead will break out of their grip and instinctively flee in all directions, even turning around and attacking their masters. Even if they managed to suppress the undead commotion, the bombardment from the opposite side would continue until all the undead were wiped out in the depths of the Rift, which was clearly not what they were willing to accept.
"Anyway, the ambush has been discovered, rather than being bombarded here in vain, it is better to control the undead and drive the undead army out of the rift, or at least destroy the grenadier force closest to the rift."
With similar thoughts in mind, the mages and priests of the Order of Naraku cast spells to manipulate the undead under their command, ordering them to rush out of the rift and slaughter all living creatures in their path.
Outside the Rift, the commander of the grenadier regiment saw through the binoculars a large herd of zombies, skeletons, and ghouls swarming out of the valley mouth, smiled slightly, turned back to his lieutenant, and said, "Our mission is complete, we can leave." ”
The order to retreat was quickly conveyed, and the grenadiers fired a third round of mortar shells at the undead army rushing up from the opposite side, delaying the charge for a moment, and then putting away their equipment and calmly boarding the military vehicles.
Thirty magic armored vehicles started their engines and returned the same way. By this time, the ghoul who was running fastest in the undead army had already caught up, jumping and trying to attack the military vehicle. However, the military vehicles were protected by thick armor, and the windows of the cab were made of high-strength bulletproof glass invented by the alchemists, and the sharp teeth of these imps were useless, and they were ruthlessly run over by the wheels, screaming and turning into puddles of fishy, rotting meatloaf.
The grenadiers on the military vehicles were accustomed to this scene, and when they saw the ghouls chasing after them, they drew a grenade with a wooden handle from the belt, pulled out the fuse, and threw it at the group of ghouls in pursuit.
With a bang, a large fireball rose from the road, engulfing the ghoul swarm in an instant.
The undead have no fear, no pain, and even when the flesh is blown up by grenades, the ghouls still chase after them. Occasionally, one or two high-level ghouls would leap onto the military vehicle with their strong bouncing power. However, their good fortune ended there, and more than thirty sabers stabbed at each other in unison—if the ghoul still had a shred of wisdom in his rotting brain, he should regret his reckless jump.
