Chapter 1225: Harvesting
Four or five flickering flashes appeared almost at the same time, and Sauron suddenly saw the crowd hidden in the darkness through the light. His face changed dramatically, and then he heard a strange muffled sound, and a strange whistling sound in the air...
Zoro could catch an energy body rapidly approaching, but before he could give the order, the ground thirty meters away exploded!
"Boom, boom!"
The shells of the "Hedron Mortar" fell on the side of the position, and the auxiliaries who were wearing armor were blown away on the spot, and the impact of the cannonball energy explosion was particularly fast, not weaker than the fire explosion technique of the high-level mage!
But the key point is that it takes at least twenty seconds for the mage to chant the "Flame Explosion Technique", and two or three times in a row will be greatly reduced due to the "thinning of the elements", but the "Elemental Mortar" is not subject to this restriction at all, and the three rounds of continuous bombardment have not stopped at all, and Zoro saw that his camp was half blown away in front of him, but he didn't even see what the enemy looked like.
The "auxiliary soldiers" were blown up and their morale collapsed in an instant, and they were so frightened that most of them were lying on the ground and wailing, and they didn't know how many casualties there were.
And although the orcs have rough skin and thick flesh, they have also been blown in two after being directly hit - even so, the tenacious orcs are still not dead, dragging half of their bodies and crawling, the only thing they want to do is to escape from this area, but the visual impact of that tragic situation has accelerated the soldiers to lose their minds.
These orcs are no strangers to what is happening in front of them.
When facing Sodrore's troops in the kingdom of Karen, some orcs were attacked head-on by the "hedron spear", and now seeing such a bombardment, many orcs are evoked the terrifying memories of the past, and even perform more unbearable than those "auxiliaries".
Zoro himself was blown down twice by the impact, but he quickly got back to his feet, and roared for the orcs to take up their arms and launch a charge - all kinds of shamanic spells were quickly released, and the orcs who had been continuously affected by the "madness" finally stopped being afraid, and carried out the order with red eyes, and followed Zoro with a roar to start the impact.
They strode and ran, without any formation, and many of them didn't even have weapons, and ran like wild beasts towards the position where the cannonballs were coming, and before the team of five or six hundred people rushed halfway, in the gradually brightening sky, the figures in those trenches were no longer hidden, and they all stood up together, and aimed a whole row of "spar guns" at Sauron's team...
"Kill them!"
As Zoro struggled to unleash "natural shelter" to protect the charging orc soldiers in the front row, a faint yellow glow appeared in front of the group, and the dust that had risen on the ground seemed to be pulled by some kind of force to protect them.
This kind of sorcery can allow soldiers to resist the damage of large blunt weapons, which has been especially effective in previous siege battles, and even orcs can continue to fight after being hit by a sasswood - but they don't realize that the "hedron gun" in front of them is the latest firearm after three generations.
Instead of relying solely on the impact of hedron energy to kill the enemy, as in the first generation of "hedron guns", they have rifled metal barrels with the help of industrial machine tools, and... Large-caliber single shots.
Because of the strength of the hedron energy, the gun no longer needs to be filled with gunpowder inside the bullet, but directly relies on the compressed air of the magic circle inside the gun to propel the bullet to launch - a standard spar inserted in the gun is enough to fire two hundred bullets, the lethality within 100 meters is amazing, and the accuracy within 50 meters is enough to guarantee.
In other words, in terms of "thermal weapons", the descendants of Luo Di have completed several iterations in the war, and now the generation gap with ordinary cold weapons troops has been further widened...
At the moment when the gun rang out, there was no successive explosions, but only a strange "poof" sound, Zoro only saw the energy light flashing on the gun body in the hands of those soldiers, and the black shadow that was indistinguishable to the naked eye flew out of the barrel, and then, the soldiers in front of him fell like harvested wheat without warning!
When a bullet with great kinetic energy hits the orc, the muffled sound and muffled grunt of flesh tearing becomes the only sound left on the battlefield. Zoro saw a strong orc not far in front of him jerk his shoulder, stumbling two steps before falling to the ground. And a "auxiliary" not far from the side was even broken by a bullet on the spot, and his head spun and flew out...
What's even more terrifying is that there is more than one wave of such an attack, hundreds of soldiers in the trench in front of him continue to pull the bolt, push the bullet, and pull the trigger after the energy is full, the "whoosh" sound of the bullet crossing the body makes Zolon's scalp numb, and when he finally rushed to the thirty meters of this position, he found that there were no other soldiers in front of him!
Looking left and right, there are only two or three hundred people following behind him... That is to say, on the way to the charge, his troops have lost nearly half.
The orc troops also had long-range weapons, bows and javelins were essential for veteran warriors, but in their haste they didn't expect such a blow, and the few with hunting bows and javelins were knocked down before they could use them.
The rest of the soldiers, who were lucky enough not to be hit, looked at the corpses that fell to the ground and screamed around them, and even the corpses that were smashed on the spot, even if they were affected by the "madness", they all forcibly regained a lot of their senses at this time, slowed down, or simply fell to the ground to avoid the bullet shot.
The soldiers in the trenches did not use "automatic weapons", and in order to ensure that the barrel was sealed when it was fired, the bullets were manually pulled after a single shot to push the next bullet.
So after three consecutive salvos, they went into a state of "free fire" and quickly ran out of twenty large-caliber rounds in a magazine.
And the shooting didn't stop there, because the second group of soldiers in the back had already rotated up and started to shoot again, and at the same time, a squad threw "hedron grenades" at the orcs who rushed closer!
Sauron was shot in the abdomen, and the bullet pierced through all the witchcraft protection and embedded in his abs...
Zoro gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, but the two grenades that fell in front of him quickly exploded one after another, and he couldn't hide, watching as the light of your magic circle on the surface of the grenade went out, and exploded in an instant-
"Bang!"
The sturdy body flew backwards under the impact, and the shards even pierced his shoulders and abdomen, and when the Great Chief slammed to the ground, Zoro saw that the sky above him was already bright, but there was a buzz in his ears...
Completely numb, he felt that his right hand could no longer be raised, and after gritting his teeth to get up, Zoro found that there was no charge around him—instead, he saw the orcs and human auxiliaries who had turned and fled, and watched them fall to the cold ground one by one by the bullets that followed.
