Chapter 396: War
At about 6 a.m. the next day, five hours before the eclipse began.
In the city of Kurkyaku, Atanis sat on the throne in the temple with the original shrine transformed, closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, he was the only one in the temple hall at this time, very quiet, and not far from his side, Thor's hammer of Thor, lying quietly in a small blood circle, obviously, Thor's hammer has not been able to respond to Thor, because it was bound by this circle set by Atanis.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps, from far and near, entered the main hall, breaking the original silence.
"How's the preparation going, Agnus?" Atanis didn't open his eyes, but he still called out the name of the person who came...... This is normal, not to mention a strong person of the level of Atanis, even if it is an ordinary person who is familiar and trained, as long as it is not deliberate by the other party, he can hear a person's footsteps.
"Honorable master, everything is ready, and when the time comes, you will personally preside over the sacrifice ceremony!" A slightly shrill male voice sounded in the hall.
Only then did Atanis open his eyes and look at the person below, a middle-aged man dressed in a somewhat strange priestly robe, with a stiff back and monocles, and the whole person looked a little funny.
But anyone who despises this man because of his strange and ridiculous appearance is very wrong.
Agnas, the technical minister of the Holy Trinity Order, is responsible for the research and development and manufacturing of various special equipment in the Holy Trinity Order, as well as the research and research of various mysterious relics, and is the third person in the Holy Trinity Order, second only to the Pope and the Knight Leader.
In Europe, he was responsible for presiding over the summoning of Satannis, as well as the next summoning of the ancient god Kukulkan, and helping Satannis absorb the power of the other party.
"Very well, go down, tell the others not to let their guard down, if I'm not mistaken, those human guardians should also start attacking, be careful of their technological weapons, although they are not of great use to us, but to our low-level troops, the threat is still great!" Satannis said with a sneer...... It would be a mistake to think that demons are just brainless idiots who can cast their magic and then fight on their own.
Although the power of hell rarely appears in the main material plane, in fact, it has never been cut off from the main material interface, and there is still a great understanding of the scientific and technological power of the main material plane, but the low-level scientific and technological weapons are really limited in their lethality, so many times, these demons with strong individual strength do not need to take corresponding countermeasures.
"Respected master, please rest assured, we are ready enough to deal with the regular bombardment of the human race, as for the more powerful weapons, because of the special nature of Kuakyakku, the possibility of them being used is extremely small!" Agnus replied flatteringly...... As far as he said, the Divine Spear Bureau really had no intention of using weapons of mass destruction, and even the main cannon of the Autumn Wind Pier was not intended to be used.
Because Kurkyaku is in the Amazon, not Siberia or anywhere else.
As the lungs of the earth, its importance to the whole earth is self-evident, and its ecology is actually very fragile, if weapons of mass destruction are used, it will definitely affect not only Cuakeyaku, but the entire Amazon forest, and more importantly, Cuakeyaku is very close to the source of the Amazon River, once the water body is polluted, the impact is even greater.
However, weapons of mass destruction cannot be used, but conventional bombing is possible, and for conventional bombing, they are naturally prepared...... Digging trenches and building bunkers is not the preserve of human armies, not to mention that many of the predecessors of blood werewolves in their armies were born as human soldiers.
Soon the minutes and seconds passed, and at about seven o'clock, the allied forces of the earth began to launch the first wave of tentative attacks...... A large-scale robot force with more than 100,000 troops originally blocked on the periphery began to cross the original blockade line and began to launch an attack on Kuakyakul.
But apparently, such an attack is not very effective! The main force of these robot troops, mainly the mechanical police force of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the neighboring Colombian T-800 Terminator robots, can only be said to be average in combat, that is, the ultraviolet radiation device and silver-plated bullets equipped with can cause certain damage to those blood and werewolves in the demon army, but for those demons who are summoned later, the damage is extremely limited.
In terms of melee combat, although the robots are also very powerful and fast, they do not have any advantages for those dark races, and in the previous battles, these dark races have obviously figured out ways to deal with these robots.
Therefore, the effect of the first wave of tentative attacks is extremely limited, and if it is not even for the absolute superiority in numbers, and it is not afraid of death, it is estimated that it will not take much time to rout.
However, at this moment, a piercing scream suddenly remembered in the sky...... Bombing came, not planes but artillery.
This made those who were familiar with the combat methods of the human army in the dark race forces scolded the coalition for being cunning on their side, and at the same time, they were also secretly scolding those in charge of intelligence.
Compared with the bombardment of airplanes and missiles, the bombardment of artillery shells is actually more sudden...... It is only because in modern warfare, the operation of artillery units is often accompanied by large-scale ground troop movements, and it is difficult to avoid the detection of satellites and spy personnel, unlike missiles and airplanes that can be deployed quickly, so with the development of modern warfare, the figure of artillery on the battlefield has become less and less, and it has basically become a defensive weapon.
In the recent wars in South Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and South America, artillery appeared only on the defensive side, not on the attacking side...... Attacking is a matter of aircraft bombing, cruise missiles, tanks, and power armor, and it's not your turn to move slowly.
This also led to the dark race, including Agnus, all of them deliberately ignoring the former god of war, and focusing on long-range strikes such as aircraft missiles.
And after these shells fell on the positions of the two sides, the dark races were going to cry even more.
That's right, it's true that the Earth Alliance didn't use weapons of mass destruction, but to be honest, the warriors of the dark race at this time would rather use weapons of mass destruction on the human side.
Because to be honest, weapons of mass destruction ...... That is, nuclear weapons, biological weapons, and chemical weapons, except for nuclear weapons, the other two are not a problem at all for these dark races.
These weapons were originally designed for humans themselves, and the fragile bodies of human beings are almost non-resistant to these weapons, but what about the dark race? Many of them themselves are carried by viruses, and ordinary biochemical weapons can only add BUFF to them, even if the nuclear weapons are not only powerful in their own shock waves and light radiation, it is really hard to say how much impact nuclear radiation will have on these dark creatures.
However, although the weapons tested by the coalition forces this time are not weapons of mass destruction, they are the most notorious category of conventional weapons for their lethality...... Napalm, oil and gas bombs, cloud burst bombs.
Although the lethality of these special bombs is terrifying and very cruel, as long as there are no special additives such as white phosphorus, the impact on the environment is relatively small and easy to control. But its lethality is very considerable, especially its burning characteristics, for the vast majority of the dark race, it is simply a nemesis, after all, although the dark race is strong, but most of them are only flesh and blood after all, and they can't resist this kind of flame that is difficult to extinguish when it is stained.
One of the main reasons why the coalition forces postponed the attack until today is that in addition to the fear of the expansion of the demonic crisis, it also takes time to secretly mobilize these weapons and ammunition, which are not used very often.
And the timing of the bombing on the coalition side was also very good, when the robot troops and the dark race forces were completely mixed...... This is another problem that is overlooked by the forces of the Dark Race, that is, there will be no such large-scale bombardment when the two sides are fighting.
But what is the first wave of armies on the human alliance side now? Robots! Although the cost is not low, it is only a cost after all...... As long as it's not people who die, it's just a matter of spending more money, and compared to the safety of the entire earth, the loss of hundreds of thousands of robots, the main member states of the UED will share it a little, how much is the matter?
And this wave of robot troops has been lost, sorry, there is still the most sufficient reserve force in the rear to make up for it at any time.
But for the dark race, the loss of this wave of bombing is great, and the main loss is those blood clans and werewolves, these two dark races, for this kind of incendiary weapons are the worst, medium and low-level blood clans, under the saturation bombardment, directly ten pavilions to nine pavilions, concentrated in the blood clan and werewolves in Kuakeyaku, can be regarded as the elite backbone of the two groups, this wave of losses, the two clans are basically cold.
However, the hell demons that were summoned later, although the damage was not small, but because many of them were born in the sulfur flames of hell, they were very resistant to the earth's weapons, and only about thirty percent of them were damaged, and most of them died from explosions, not burning.
As for suffocation or something, it's no threat to these dark races.
However, on the whole, although this general bombardment caused the Earth Alliance to lose a large number of robot soldiers, it also weakened the forces that the dark race of Kuakyakku had managed to accumulate to an acceptable range.
Originally, the dark race in the city was close to 20,000 at most in Frank's reconnaissance before, and after this wave of saturation bombing, it is estimated that there are only a few thousand middle and high-level demons left.
And then, it's time for the superheroes to perform......
According to the battle plan previously discussed, the four forces launched attacks on Kuakyakune from four directions.
That's right, one organization and one direction, although everyone has formed a coalition army, but to be honest, everyone is not familiar with each other, and it is really hard to say how much combat effectiveness can be exerted together, it is better to fight your own.
The only exception, the mage of Kama Taj, sent two auxiliaries to each of the three forces...... After all, people are masters, although the masters of this world are biased towards progress, but some unique abilities are still very useful, the most important of which is spell detection and door opening.
Condemn the demons that can be found hidden, and the latter will facilitate mutual assistance with the Quartet.
Therefore, the other three parties will not have any opinion on this arrangement.
After the bombing, Kuakyaku has almost become a barren land, full of gunsmoke and residual flames, and the air in the whole city is also full of poisonous ...... They are all carbon monoxide that is not fully burned and particulates that are not fully burned.
However, this environment did not have much of an impact.
Needless to say, the Overwatch representing the Divine Spear Bureau is the most advanced in equipment, and this environmental problem is not a problem at all.
The Avengers are similar, with the support of Stark and Wakanda, and the corresponding equipment is not lacking at all, even the American team has put on special combat uniforms and masks, and Captain Marvel, as a super strongman, can survive in the universe, and he doesn't care about this little discomfort.
And on the side of Kama Taj, who is the master, a small spell can solve this concern.
As for Thor's side, he is a god domain person, with a terrible physique, and he goes into battle bare-chested, that is, Loki, who loves cleanliness, cast a little spell on himself, oh yes, and Frank and Alice, the two black clawed personnel, also joined Thor's side.
One is because Blackclaw doesn't belong to any side, and it's also because Thor's side is too weak......
That's right, among the four forces, the weakest is the team on the side of the God Domain, and to be honest, this situation makes the two brothers Thor and Loki also full of faint sadness...... When did they, Asgard, actually fall to the point of human help?
But there is no way, needless to say, the Overwatch side is strong, and Laura has also temporarily joined here, as well as the demon's nemesis, Ghost Rider, and most importantly, there is a tenth-level Nova hidden in secret...... For Nova's existence, Chris did not make a noise, but let her hide, this is his hole card, and the hole card is the most useful only when it is not opened.
The Avengers have a tenth-level Captain Marvel guarantee.
Kama Taj has a ninth-level Supreme Mage.
This side of the God's Domain...... The strongest are Thor and Loki, and the rest of the people are not weak, they can't be compared with the above ones, and more importantly, Thor without a hammer can't exert much strength at all.
This also leads to the fact that among the four forces, the advancement speed of the God Domain is also the slowest...... Although Frank and Alice joined, under Chris's instructions, the two did not use their full strength, and in most cases, they were fighting with equipment.
However, weak also has the advantage of being weak, after the attack of the four forces, Satannis also immediately assessed the combat effectiveness of all parties through spells, and the one sent to the direction of Thor to intercept is also the weakest side.
Moreover, Chris, who was in charge of the central command, originally thought that with two tenth-level powerhouses and one ninth-level powerhouse on his side, the battle that should be able to end soon was not as smooth as he thought...... With the exception of Saul, the remaining three parties were intercepted when they attacked Ku'akyakul.
And it wasn't a simple interception, all three parties encountered extremely strong opponents, even Captain Marvel and Supreme Mage Gu Yi lost their traces one after another, and even Nova who was hiding in the shadows lost contact with him.
This unexpected situation made Chris frown, what happened to make several super strong people lose their traces and contact at the same time for a while?
And Chris's solemn expression also made Maria Hill and Nick Fury, who were also in charge of command and coordination in the camp, realize that something was wrong.
