Chapter 134
In the next few days, due to the lessons learned earlier, the company army no longer carried out a large-scale attack, but sent small units to test it.
However, most of the small forces they sent out were never returned, especially in the Canal Plains. No matter how many people were sent, none of them could come back alive in the end, which was extremely weird. The villagers of the Canal Plains quickly spread among the coalition soldiers, resulting in none of the soldiers or generals willing to lead their troops to inquire about the situation.
After all, there are lessons from the past of those people in front of them, and they are simply sent to death in the past.
On the side of the empire, there was no consciousness of the defender at all, and Estes led his troops out of the city many times to attack the base camp of the coalition army. The so-called millions of troops of the coalition are essentially armies assembled by various forces. It seems that the number is very scary, but in fact, they are all fighting separately, and at most they are jointly attacking the city, and there is no cooperation in command and course of action.
If two armies attack a city at the same time, and one army intends to forcibly occupy the city walls, the soldiers use the ladder to climb the city walls and fight the frontier army. The other army intended to attack the city with artillery and demoralize the enemy. In the end, the artillery did attack the city walls, but the walls of the five imperial cities were all made of special stones, and although their artillery attacks could damage the city walls, it would take a long time to break the walls.
This also led to artillery attacks, and the city walls did not have much effect, but caused a large number of friendly casualties, and there were even incidents of casualties caused by the collision of cavalry of the two armies.
In front of the 10,000 elite troops led by Estes, this kind of army is like a piece of tofu, which looks neat but is broken when touched. The coalition forces were defeated and retreated, and the base camp was moved again and again, getting farther and farther away from the imperial capital.
In the face of this situation, the revolutionary army, the aristocratic alliance, the Western countries, the Church of Tranquility, and the alien races all knew that this would continue. Not to mention the capture of the imperial capital, it is a question whether it can hold on.
The coalition forces must have a unified command and cooperate with each other in order to have a chance to break through the five cities of the imperial capital.
All the forces reached a consensus, but they were stuck on the question of who was in command. All the forces felt that this command should be handed over to them, and only they could lead the coalition army to break through the 5 cities of the imperial capital. No one was convinced, and even fought during the discussion.
If the original plot develops, this command should fall into the hands of the revolutionary army.
Although the soldiers of the revolutionary army fought like bandits, they did not have complete and good logistical support, and the strength of the soldiers was uneven, and they were a little weaker than other forces in all aspects. But they have night raids, they have the ability to kill Estes, and they have the ability to destroy the last hole card of the empire, the Supreme Emperor.
This forced the other forces to cede command to the revolutionary army, after all, if Estes did not die and the Supreme Emperor was not destroyed, it would be impossible for them to overthrow the empire.
The most important thing is that things have been done so far, if they can't overthrow the empire and other thousand-year-old empires now, they can relax. Shoot them all to death with a backhand, which is the most unacceptable thing for them.
However, the night raid has now been separated from the revolutionary army, and in the eyes of other forces, the revolutionary army, which was originally supported by various forces to attract the firepower of the empire, is a dish. He also wants to be a commander, and after the overthrow of the empire, the next one will swallow him up to make up for the investment in the revolutionary army over the years.
β¦β¦
Imperial capital, city gates.
At this moment, the ice shield in front of the city gate suddenly cracked a huge crack, and Estes sat on a war horse made of ice, leading the other members of the special security force to slowly walk in from the outside. Behind her, there was a group of ice knights who were 6 meters tall.
The Ice Knights were lined up in a huge rectangular array, and in the middle of the array were countless unarmed soldiers in all sorts of armor, who were soldiers of the Coalition Army.
At a glance, it was seen that the soldiers who were captured by the Ice Knight Force were as few as 50,000.
The main reason why Estes wanted to capture so many coalition soldiers was because the Imperial Capital had run out of death row prisoners, and the production of experimental subjects in the Imperial Capital had stopped. And these captured soldiers, all of them will be biologically modified and turned into experimental subjects who are not afraid of life and death, have no pain, and are infinitely powerful.
At this time, Estes suddenly spoke: "Yesterday, I sent someone to check all the information in the fashion laboratory and got a way to suppress the side effects of drug enhancement. Although this method cannot eliminate the side effects of drug fortification, it can prolong the life of the black pupil as much as possible. β
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of other members of the special security forces lit up. All of them have known about the problem of Black Hitomi for a long time, but they don't know how to help Black Hitomi because of their mismatch.
Even Tazmi and Will went through all the labs, and the results were all out of the question. After all, drug enhancement is too extreme, and the safety of the test subject itself is not considered at all during research and development, and only the normal IQ of the test subject needs to be preserved.
However, it is simply not okay to suddenly ask them to come up with a solution to the side effects of drug fortification, and even re-research will take years.
"Captain, how many years can you prolong your life?" Will hurriedly asked.
"Due to the fact that Hei Hitomi has taken the strengthening potion many times, his body has long been in tatters. Even if it is suppressed, the side effects of drug intensification can be extended by up to 4 years. Estes replied, then sighed.
"......Four years at most," Will repeated, and his eyes became unusually determined.
"Yes, it's better than nothing, I will definitely find a way to treat black pupils in the next few years."
Will looked up at Estes and asked, "Captain, can the method that suppress the side effects of the drug modification be carried out immediately?" β
"I've already prepared those researchers, but this method will make Black Hitomi completely lose his power and become an ordinary person." Estes looked at Will with a sharp gaze.
"Will, I know you want to keep Hitomi alive, and I want to. But you can't force Hitomi to undergo treatment, it has to be voluntary. β
"If you can't convince Hitomi to give up her strength, get treatment. Then I will return the march of the dead to Black Hitomi, and let her continue to fight, and die as a strong man. β
Will was stunned, then nodded, revealing a bitter smile, and said, "I understand Captain, I am indeed too selfish, I only want to let her live, and I don't take into account the wishes of the black pupil herself." β
Will raised his head again and looked at the gate of the capital not far away, his eyes gradually becoming firm, as if he had made up his mind.
Black Hitomi forgive me for my selfishness, I want you to live. Even if you don't want to live, I'm going to let you live.
I can't accept a world without you......
Will's mind flashed back to the conversation he had had with the painter a few days earlier, and at the end of the conversation, the painter said a word. This sentence still echoes in his mind to this day, and it is impossible to get rid of it.
γThe Eastern Xia Empire has the ability to heal black pupilsγ
The imperial capital began to prepare closely for the next decisive battle, and almost took out all the combat power that could be used. This was to defeat the Eastern Xia Empire, but also to prepare for the future conquest of the world.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Canal Plains, Canal City.
By this time, the endless golden wheat fields outside Canal City had disappeared and were replaced by a 6-kilometre-long runway that could be used by all types of aircraft. With 10 elven archmagicians and three engineering troops, working in shifts day and night, the basic framework of the air base was finally completed.
Due to the problem of timing, the engineering troops did not have a large air force, taking into account the enemy of this world. Therefore, for the time being, no air defense systems and radar systems were built, only a few pairs of biological radars were briefly installed and 10 Thunder-1 infantry combat vehicles were used as air defense forces.
Priority has been given to the construction of runways and areas for aircraft to take off and land for various types of combat aircraft.
At the same time, most of the air power in the Goblin Slayer world has also entered the world of Slashing Crimson Pupil through the portal. And even so, the air force has not yet reached the standards set by the military department.
After all, in the Goblin Slayer World, although most of the underground monsters have subsided, it is still necessary to keep a part of the air force just in case.
So Xia Xuan returned to the Eastern Xia Empire, secretly went to every air base, and extracted a part of the troops to enter the world of slashing the red pupil.
On the 20th day, the basic construction of the infrastructure of Canal City Air Base except for the air defense system was completed. It's a bit rudimentary, but at least it's pretty basic. Supply organizations for aviation equipment, fuel, and military supplies, as well as aircraft maintenance, communications, navigation, meteorology, and transportation units, have been stationed one after another.
Everything was carried out in a neat and orderly manner according to the plan of the military department.
With the full presence of the Air Force, the Crimson Pupil World can be said to have fallen into the hands of the Eastern Xia Empire in a sense. If there is not a single country in this world that has the power to intercept the modern air force, then what awaits them will be overwhelming bombing. Bombers will fly over mountains, rivers and plains, over their cities, dropping bombs and destroying all their military forces.
After 20 days of preparation, the decisive battle between the empire and the Eastern Xia quietly arrived.
On the 21st day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the entire eastern border of the empire was covered with thick dark clouds, giving people a sense of impending a storm.
Both the Eastern Xia and the Emperor sent their armies to assemble, and then marched in the direction of both sides. And located at the junction of the Canal Plain and the imperial capital, the Lorde Valley, which will become a battlefield for both sides.
On the vast plain, a roar came from afar, the ground began to shake slightly, and a torrent of steel rushed from afar.
Boom Boom Boom!
At the forefront of the army was the Panzer Division, a representative of the army forces. With extremely strong armor, high mobility and firepower, the main battle tank, known as the king of the battlefield, is at the forefront. This was followed by infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, armored transporters.
In the middle is the artillery unit: the price is cheap, and the volume is full of self-propelled artillery units. A self-propelled howitzer with high mobility and ready to provide fire support to mechanized infantry units and armored units on the battlefield.
Further after that, there are infantry transporters and resource carriers carrying infantry, and finally the Sky Eye-30 missile unit.
Sky Eye 30 missile troops, this time carrying missiles of various types. Even the Third Legion in order to be able to accurately kill the high-level powerhouses of the Empire. The Tianyan 30 missile vehicle was equipped with a hydrogen bomb nuclear warhead and a neutron nuclear warhead.
After half an hour's drive, the artillery unit in the middle began to break away from the ranks and move towards its assigned position.
At the same time, the missile unit of the Natural Mountain Rock, which was at the end, also broke away from the team and advanced towards its designated deployment position.
Thirty kilometres from the Valley of Lorde, on a plain, an artillery battalion began to camp there.
The soldiers moved all kinds of weapons and ammunition from the transport trucks in an orderly manner, and began to set up artillery positions according to the plan.
200 Agni-23 heavy guns began to be rapidly laid out, and a self-propelled artillery position was quickly formed. The massive barrel of the Agni-23 began to slowly lift and take aim at the Lorde Valley, 30 kilometers away.
The soldiers successively transported the shells to the Agni-23 heavy gun, and then loaded the huge shells into it, ready to cover the Lorde Valley with fire.
In the rear, 50 rocket vehicles lined up, and the rocket launchers on their backs began to lift and aim at the Lode Valley.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the other side of the Lorde Valley, the floor of the valley, which had been quiet and peaceful, suddenly began to shake. Tens of thousands of ice knights, up to 6 meters tall, poured into the valley. Because it was the huge horse's hooves that stepped on the ground, and there were footprints.
Stampede, stomp!
The ground shook like an earthquake where the Ice Knight Legion passed, and the animals in the valley trembled at the great movement.
Behind the Ice Knights were a group of 2.5-meter-tall biochemical soldiers, their skin was extremely pale, their muscles were unusually developed, they were wearing armor made of ice, and they held a huge two-meter-long machete in their right hand.
The number of Biochemical troops is several times larger than that of the Ice Knights, with a full 70,000 test subjects. And these 70,000 test subjects were created from the lives of 300,000 soldiers of the coalition army.
Although the Biochemical troops are not as fast as the Ice Knights, they also run at a speed of 20 meters per second. After biological modification, their body functions are beyond ordinary people, and their strength is infinite, and they do not feel pain. The strength of each biochemical soldier has reached the second level, and with their extraordinary strength, they are simply butchers on the battlefield of cold weapons.
Due to Estes's order to create a large number of biochemical troops as quickly as possible, the effect of this plan was not achieved. Each cyborg has a lifespan of only one month, and is extremely insane and very difficult to control.
Now it's the limit for them not to attack their own kind and gather together and run wildly to the battlefield.
Ten minutes later, the Ice Knight troops rushed out of the canyon with a puff of dust, and saw the steel monsters that had been waiting for them for a long time on the vast plain 2 kilometers ahead.
At this moment, technology and fantasy collide together, and on one side is a torrent of steel that symbolizes human industrial civilization and is full of violent aesthetics. On one side, the 6-meter-tall centaur knights are made up of ice cubes, and they are like creatures that have come out of mythology, elegant, mysterious, and powerful.
At this moment, the area of the Valley of Lord became solemn in an instant, and the dark clouds in the sky began to surge, and the battle was about to break out.
Seeing the armored troops of the Third Legion in front of them, the ice knights raised their three-meter-long spears one after another and launched a charge.
The main battle tanks lined up in a row, and the barrels began to adjust, aiming at the Ice Knight troops rushing out of the canyon in front of them.
[Ready, fire!] γ
Bang bang!
In the next moment, the huge cannon fire of all the main battle tanks burst out of yellow flames, and countless shells flew out through the hall and flew towards the Ice Knight troops at a very fast speed.
Woohoo!
In just one second, huge cannonballs spanned thousands of meters and hit this group of 6-meter-tall ice knights. The cannonball pierced directly through the Ice Knight standing in the first row, and in an instant, hundreds of Ice Knight were shattered by the cannonball, and then the fire appeared.
Boom Boom Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and huge flames began to rise. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion swept away one by one the ice knights, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius instantly enveloped the thousands of ice knights in front of them, and some of the ice knights began to show signs of melting.
However, the attack was not over, artillery positions.
"Ready!" A soldier raised the flag in his hand and waved it down, "Fire!" β
As soon as the words fell, a deafening sound came to mind.
Bang!
Huge flames erupted from the barrels of all the Agni-23 heavy guns, the barrels retracted, and shells burst out of their chambers.
At the same time, the rocket car in the rear also launched countless rockets, and one after another the rockets erupted bright yellow flames into the sky.
Rockets and shells whizzed across the sky, piercing the oppressive sky.
Woohoo!
As soon as the shelling of the main battle tanks ended, the Ice Knight troops in the rear continued to charge forward without the slightest pause, and the next moment shells fell from the sky.
Boom Boom Boom!
The violent explosion enveloped the Ice Knight troops again, and most of the Ice Knight who had just been shattered did not melt due to the particularity of their own ice cubes, but only turned into pieces of ice. This ensuing firepower covered the thousands of ice knights again.
Boom Boom!
It was as if an endless stream of cannonballs pierced the sky and roared, covering the Ice Knights with firepower. The explosion enveloped nearly two-thirds of the Ice Knights, and nearly 30,000 Ice Knights were injured to varying degrees.
Artillery positions, the artillerymen quickly filled the Agni-23 heavy gun with ammunition, and the rocket vehicle units in the rear began to replace the bullet shafts.
"Ready!" The soldier raised the flag in his hand again, "Fire!" β
Boom Boom Boom!
Countless cannonballs rained down like hailstones, flames began to rise, and gunpowder smoke began to fill the air, and a huge shock wave shattered the nearby Ice Knights.
A large amount of smoke from the explosion began to fly upwards, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, and the forests on both sides of the Lorde Valley were ignited by the flames from the explosion.
This is the power of technological civilization, a power that allows weak human beings to move mountains and reclaim the sea and destroy the world.
The explosion is the truth, and the flame is the purification.
After two rounds of shelling, the ground in front of the Valley of Lorde had been blown to pieces, covered with scorch marks, and countless ice-blue ice blocks were sprinkled on the ground. In just three minutes, nearly 30,000 soldiers and knights were blown to pieces under the cover of this vitality.
The entire Ice Knight Force lost 2/3 of the Ice Knights at once, but the next moment, the ice cubes on the ground suddenly condensed, and a brand new Ice Knight appeared again. It's just that the number of these newborn soldiers and knights obviously did not reach 30,000, only 20,000.
Obviously, their regenerative ability is not completely regenerative and will lose some of their energy.
At the same time, the weapons in the hands of these new ice knights are no longer spears, but huge and heavy shields. The Ice Knights charged again, this time in the front row replaced by Ice Knights with huge shields.
[Tank troops, armor-piercing shells prepared. Ready, fire! γ
Rumble!
With a loud bang, shells flew out of the barrel of the main battle tank and flew towards the Ice Knights.
The armor-piercing projectile whizzed out, tearing through the air and crashing into the heavy ice shield.
Bang!
In front of the armor-piercing bullet, the heavy ice shield was instantly pierced like tofu, and several ice knights behind were torn apart by the armor-piercing bullet.
At the same time, the biochemical troops finally broke out of the canyon. Tens of thousands of biochemical soldiers began to rush into the forests on both sides of the canyon, using the forests as cover to quickly approach the armored forces.
These cyborg soldiers were like wild horses on the loose, their mouths were constantly roaring, and their eyes were full of madness.
[Bomber troops, start dropping napalm] command gives the order.
And what about using the trees of the forest as shelter?
Just turn the entire forest into a sea of fire and burn all the trees to the ground. You will not have any bunker to speak of, or whether you will survive or not is a question.
In the sky, two large bombers approached from a distance.
Given the command, the driver pressed the drop button.
"Napalm began to be dropped."
The next moment, napalm fell from the drop bays of the two bombers.
These napalm bombs can instantly turn an area the size of a football field into a sea of fire, and this kind of flame cannot be extinguished, and it burns more violently when exposed to water.
Napalm fell from the sky and into the dense forest.
The cyborg running wildly in the forest saw a black shadow suddenly fall from the sky in front of him, but before he could react, violent flames suddenly erupted.
Rumble!
The flames from the napalm swept through the forest like a wave, and the forest became a sea of blazing fire, a sea of flames. Tens of thousands of cyborgs were ignited and turned into fire men.
However, they did not know the pain, and they continued to step on the sea of fire, even though the flames on their bodies continued to burn their bodies. They didn't care at all, until the fire consumed his flesh. It was only after he couldn't run that the cyborg stopped.
At the same time, the Ice Knights were also hit by napalm.
Rumble!
Fierce flames swept through all the Ice Knights like a tidal wave, and their feet instantly turned into a sea of fire. Black gasoline splatters on the Ice Knights, melting steel flames and tumbling on them.
The Ice Knight's ice-forged body began to show signs of melting. Their huge horses' hooves on the sea of fire were the first to melt, and one by one the ice knights fell down as their horses' hooves melted.
At that moment, the earth suddenly began to shake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Third Legion saw a figure like a mountain slowly approaching on the other side of the Lorde Valley. It was a giant six or seven hundred meters tall and made entirely of ice. With every step the Ice Giant took, the earth shuddered.
Whew!
Huge blocks of ice suddenly fell from the Ice Giant's body, and these ice blocks fell to the ground, instantly turning into a large number of Ice Knights.
Before the Third Army could respond, a change was taking place.
The originally dim heaven and earth, suddenly a white light illuminated the entire heaven and earth, and a bright meteor flew from afar.
At great speed flew to the armored forces.
In the face of this meteor, the Thunder-1 infantry combat vehicle of the armored unit quickly raised its electromagnetic anti-aircraft gun and locked onto the meteor in the air.
The arsenal's latest development, the Truth Walker, reacted quickly, and the huge close-in cannon was also aimed at the meteor in the sky.
Rumble!
The Thunder-1 infantry chariot fired cannonballs one after another, and the cannonballs flew accurately towards the meteor. And intercepted his front, rear, left and right positions, no matter which direction the meteor flies, it will be hit by a shell.
Dada!
In an instant, the Truth Foot chariot fired hundreds of 90-millimeter bullets, instantly intertwining a network of firepower.
Whether it is the Thunder-1 infantry tank or the Truth Infantry tank, these two weapons were originally used to defend against supersonic missiles. And the speed of this meteor does not exceed that of a supersonic missile, and it is much slower than a hypersonic missile.
This also made it impossible for the meteor to dodge at all, and the anti-aircraft fire network intertwined by the Truth Foot Chariot and the Thunder-1 Infantry Chariot.
Whether it is an electromagnetic shell or a 90 mm large-caliber bullet, it is a one-touch death.
