Chapter 262: Fire, sharp, suddenly appeared in the Great Demon Extreme Dao
In addition to the "Rafale-class" heavy ballista at the core, two of the ten War Fists that serve as the arch guards of each camp are Fire Golems with "platform plug-ins". Its combat principle is basically based on the Red Crystal Gargoyle's "claw-gripped" armor-piercing arrow launcher, but the load capacity of the Iron Fist of War is significantly stronger than that of the flying unit's Gargoyle, so the ammo load in the launcher it carries is also several times higher. It's just that due to the low position and the lack of kinetic energy when the crossbow arrows are fired, the strike range of the "platform plug-in" of the Iron Fist of War is only 50 meters, and it is difficult to form a deep fire coverage in front and rear, and it is more suitable for dealing with the anti-cluster impact in the situation where the enemy is outnumbered.
And behind the three strongholds in front of the breakthrough was the home of Olympus.
Because the expansion is still in progress and the number of soldiers is relatively insufficient, after the three heavy troops are separated, the core battle formation at the back looks a little thin. Less than a company of ironclad infantry served as the forward defensive line, followed by an artillery emplacement of fifteen "half-body" ballistas.
Similar to the Rafale, the Half-Body Ballista is also one of the Goblin's flagship products. However, unlike the ultra-long and overweight ballista fired by the former, the half-body ballista is a piece of anti-personnel weapon that mainly relies on small shells such as iron sand and copper pellets fired at an angled angle to make non-precise coverage strikes against the enemy. At the same time, because of its small size and relatively light weight, it can be carried by a human warrior on his shoulders for rapid movement. Therefore, in terms of mobility, the "half-body" ballista is much more than the "Rafale".
Externally, each half-body ballista is about one meter high, and an external winch pulls an internal alloy spring ballista as a firing power. At the same time, the gun body bracket is also equipped with an iron wire ruler, according to which the aiming hand can calculate the angle, adjust the muzzle, and control the firing range of the gun. The maximum strike range reached one hundred and fifty meters. Moriarty, on the other hand, equipped each gun crew with a goblin sighter. A combination of two human loaders and a winch player. According to the training standards, the artillery crew should fire at least twenty consecutive rounds without interruption during the five-minute rapid fire segment, which is equivalent to four rounds per minute. Under such a dense concentrated bombardment, it is enough to inflict a considerable blow on the enemy group.
"Morty, don't you really need us to go up?"
Standing behind the half-body ballista array, Guderian looked at Moriarty with a look of hope, and the high-ranking powerhouses beside him, including the three Naga brothers, the magic archers, and the goblin mages, also looked like they were "doing nothing". Only the Wolf Rider Company on both flanks, led by Margaret, unsheathed their swords and apparently ready to outflank and attack the flanks of the Demon Legion.
"For the time being, it is not necessary, and we will act according to the established combat plan." Ignore the Silverbeard Dwarf's active pleas. Moriarty just calmly looked at the demon group that was pressing like a dark cloud: "I just want to see how the adapted Olympus Legion is doing?" ”
"Okay. You don't even need a crossbowman anyway. Now White is nesting in the arrow tower 'itching palms'. Guderian shrugged helplessly, then tilted his head to the towering tower behind him, smirking evilly.
As he spoke, the Demon Legion had approached the range of less than two hundred meters from the Olympus battle array. at such a distance. Most humans and goblin warriors could see the stinking sweat on the little devil's face, whether it was excitement or timidity.
"Steady... Steady... Steady..."
Gustav, as commander of the gun squadron, stood high above the Rafale ballista in the center of the camp. Look at the demons that are rushing like a tide. With a railing in one hand and a sword in the other, he roared loudly, making his voice clear enough to be heard by his subordinates in the other two camps.
"Goals. Demon Overseers in front of the enemy horde! Three ballistae aim together, and the horizontal ballistic high-hit crossbow gun is ready! Listen to me! ”
Suddenly, Gustav found his prey and roared.
The goblin operators in the three Rafale ballistas immediately used the binoculars and aiming cards to adjust the angle of the launcher and aim at the target. At the same time, the human auxiliaries at the rear of the ballista desperately loaded a huge dragon lance three meters long and about the thickness of a fist into the launcher, and at the same time fastened the firebolt, ready to fire at any time.
However, it seems that this is the first time to experience actual combat, and two of the three heavy ballistas have made operational errors, which makes the dragon lance unable to complete the reloading, and Gustav is eager to rush over and kill these fighters on the spot.
However, the demon legion on the opposite side would not give the other party any more time to adjust, and at this time they had already stepped into the standard attack line of one hundred meters.
"Aim!"
Ignoring the other two ballistas that were still scrambling to adjust their machinery, Gustav raised his steel sword in the air, and then slashed down at the Demon Overseers in the distance: "Release! ”
"Teng!"
It shook violently like an earthquake, and in a stirring oscillation sound that made people feel confused, the tension spring of the "Rafale-level" heavy ballista was instantly recovered. The super-strong string made of tungsten steel alloy stranded wire immediately rubbed hard against the launch frame made of ironwood, scraping a large area of bright red sparks, like a brilliant tailfire.
And with a huge pull rebound of nearly two tons or so, the huge dragon spear whose tail was firmly fastened to the strings of the ballista turned into a phantom in an instant, with a terrifying sharp howl like breaking the sound barrier, and went straight towards the high-level demon at the far end of the aiming card slot.
"What's that!?"
A hundred meters away, the Demon Overseer didn't even have time to see what was coming, and the huge dragon spear had already arrived in front of him. However, due to the strong strength and keen intuition of high-level demons, the Demon Overseers directly pushed the demon abomination on the side as a shield.
"Poof!"
As if the bamboo chopsticks were inserted into the cooked fat meat, the dragon lance completely pierced the demon abomination with a body thickness of nearly one meter almost without hindrance, and then continued to fly straight forward. And the high-level demon only had time to use the "Flesh-Shield" to fight for such a short time, and it deviated a little to the left. Then, with a single click, the castrated heavy dragon lance directly smashed the Demon Overseer's right hand and entire arm, and then flew forward for nearly a hundred meters, leaving an "equator" covered in blood and broken limbs along the way, and finally hit the ground heavily.
"Wow! So fierce! ”
In the Olympus camp, Guderian couldn't help but cheer loudly when he saw that the first shot of the Rafale Ballista had injured the high-level demons.
Once upon a time, the Silverbearded Dwarf was also caught by a "Rafale" during the battle in the Yongville Valley, and if White on the side had not tried his best to block him with his shield, maybe the Dwarf would have been immortalized in the "Martyrs' Cemetery" in Aquamarine City. And today, seeing his ballista bombarding the demons, Guderian finally got rid of this psychological shadow, and then sat back and watched the demon overseers "disappear" with peace of mind.
And at the same time as the Rafale ballista fired, the half-body ballista position in the rear also began to "roar" at the same time!
"Tom!"
"Tom!"
"Tom!"
"Tom!"
……
Fifteen groups of ballistas that had long been ready to fire were like a symphony, one after another emitting heart-pounding roars. A large piece of copper and iron projectiles flew high into the air like flying locusts, and after passing a towering upward parabola, they fell rapidly, lightly crossing a distance of more than 100 meters, and smashed on the top of the heads of the demon cluster like a heavy rain.
"Ahh
In the seamless transition of kinetic energy and potential energy, all metal projectiles have taken on a terrifying speed that is enough to cut flesh and bones. In addition, fifteen groups of half-body ballistas fired almost simultaneously and covered the battlefield indiscriminately, so that the forward troops of the Demon Legion had no room to dodge at all, and were directly bombarded by a large number of projectiles. But in the blink of an eye, nearly 100 little devils were hit by the "cannon rain", and fell to the ground dead or injured, wailing incessantly.
At this moment, the other two Rafale ballistas were finally reloaded, aiming at the follow-up dense parts of the demon group and firing separately. As a result, two more "equators" paved with flesh and blood were "carved" in the demon army like knives.
"Ahh Bastard! ”
In just one shot, the human battle array on the opposite side inflicted heavy damage on their own side with a terrifying piercing dragon lance and a large area of ballista rain. Including an arm and more than 100 demon warriors, the Demon Overseer could be said to have been "fat" beaten so firmly that his lungs were about to explode. But what made the high-level demons even more angry was that after just such a round of long-range strikes, the other small demons around them seemed to have signs of demoralization and wanted to retreat. Especially those injured demon warriors, even fewer insisted on getting back up and fighting.
"No backsliding! Don't stop! Keep charging for me! ”
Seeing that their own legion was about to "stop", the demon overseers who were full of shame and anger could no longer bear it, and directly used their only remaining left hand to frantically wave the "Whip of Death", pumping the little demons that had stopped moving into pieces, and then roared and summoned one demon abomination after another, apparently planning to fight the enemy to the death!
"Idiot! Are you clogged with maggots? Or do you want to kill all your men before they take refuge with the weak humans!? ”
And just as the high-level demon was almost mad and slaughtering the little demon, suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind it. Immediately, the Demon Overseer, who had already been carried away by his anger, turned his head fiercely, and what he saw was an ordinary little demon with no unusual appearance, but this little demon had one eye blind.
As if he had been most unforgivably offended, the high-ranking demon looked at the low-level warrior in front of him with a cruel smile, and raised the long whip without thinking about it. It's going to tear this daress to shreds.
But at this moment, a terrifying, chaotic, and hot aura that seemed to be like lava suddenly erupted from the body of the one-eyed little demon. In the stunned eyes of the Demon Overseers, a black flame suddenly blew up from the void like a storm, completely enveloping the little demon's body. In an instant, the little devil's originally low figure suddenly rose up in the black flames, and his body grew rapidly.
In just a moment, a three-meter-tall, sturdy body, wearing a black flame robe, and a towering and iconic red "goat curved horn" on his forehead appeared in front of the high-level demons, in front of the demon army, and in front of Moriarty and Olympus! (To be continued......)
