Chapter 1339: The Flame of Counterattack
"Now, guys, get out of the car!
A shout from behind the carriage brought Falina back to her senses.
"We're going to help, too!" she said to Joe, pushing open the door and jumping out of the cockpit.
In just a few moments, the crew members of the convoy were already busy, writing and drawing with their notebooks, and at the same time erecting several strange instruments on the ground. Judging by the dialogue, the instruments appear to be used to locate targets for the soldiers.
At this point, Farina knew what the First Army wanted to do, even if she was sluggish.
They intend to bombard the enemy from a distance of several kilometers here!
Although she had known that the Grey Castle people were the best at striking enemies from a distance with firearms, she knew that when she witnessed this scene, she still felt a heartfelt shock - any throwing weapon would be affected by the wind and its own weight, and the farther the distance, the greater its impact would be, and the slightest disturbance would make a big difference. How on earth did they ensure that the warheads fired by firearms flew as they intended them to fly at such a distance?
Could it be that those seemingly rudimentary instruments can predict the future?
If that were the case, it would not be surprising that the Church suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Coldwind Ridge.
It's just that this kind of technical activity Falina can't help at all, and she consciously walks to the back of the convoy, hoping to help unload the cargo.
Due to the secrecy requirements, the driver did not know in advance who was on board the car or what goods were loaded, but the convoy must have dragged a lot of things, and at this time, one more person to help at least speed up the preparation - she may not be good at anything else, but her strength is not bad.
However, the scene in the rear left her dumbfounded.
I saw a bunch of burly men carrying long wooden boxes with great efficiency, and those heavy trailer firearms did not look very cumbersome in their hands, after the restriction of the connector was lifted, several people dragged it around the steel long pipe and dragged it down the hardened road.
To Farina's surprise, she actually saw several familiar faces in the crowd.
Wait a minute...... Isn't this God's Punishment Army?
Although they did not wear armor, judging from their strength, skill, and appearance, it was clear that they were the outstanding warriors of Hermes.
"Yo, we're meeting again. ”
Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Hearing the familiar voice, Falina jerked her head back, "Zo...... Zoe?"
"I didn't expect you to remember my name. Zoe grinned, "I thought you'd still call out Legion Elder Anova first." ”
She took a deep breath, "Then these people are ......"
"That's right, they're all witches of Tachira. Zoe spread her hands and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"There are hundreds of people like me in Neverwinter, all of them are the shells you contributed, and when you meet familiar people, remember not to make a fuss. 」
The words of the other party at that time reappeared in my ears.
For a moment, Falina didn't know what to say.
Joe bowed his head deeply to the latter, "Miss Zoe, I have always felt very sorry that I didn't have time to thank you last time, and it is good to see you again now." Thank you for saving Miss Farina. ”
"Miss Zoe, mortal, you know very well, I accept this thank-you. Zoe shrugged, "I'll talk about that later, but now I'll focus on dealing with the devil." ”
"That ......" Looking at the back of the person who was about to leave, Falina couldn't help but speak.
"Huh?" Zoe stopped.
"Thank you. And also...... The wrongs I have made against the church...... I'm so sorry......"
"It's not your fault, you're just a blinded person. ”
She waved her hand and walked towards the erection position without looking back.
Falina opened her mouth, but only to let out a soft sigh.
But what she didn't see was that the corners of Zoe's mouth curled slightly.
As a result, as the iron axe said, as a driver, she finally failed to help anything, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the First Army was ready to shoot.
"Report, guns 1, 2 and 3 have been loaded!"
"Fire!" the commander ordered decisively.
With a loud bang, a veil-like snow mist rose from below the gun mount in an instant, and the roar echoed in the mountains and fields, like thunder rolling across the sky.
Hot shells were discharged into the snow with a sizzling sound, while new shells were quickly loaded and awaited the next shot. The whole process went smoothly, and the tacit cooperation between the artillerymen was like one person, and from this detail it can be seen to what extent their usual training has reached.
Falina realized that the gap between the First Army and the rest of the army was not just in firearms.
After more than ten breaths, she saw that a string of snow pillars had finally risen from the top of the mountain!
......
"The ground forces have started shooting!"
Sylvie, aboard the Seagull, saw a little more clearly.
After crossing a long parabola, the three shells all landed near the fortress-shaped freak, the nearest of which was less than three hundred meters away. The sudden explosion caused chaos among the demons stationed around, and several dinosaur beasts fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
After telling the artillery commander below about the corrections, she focused all her attention on the enemy's movements.
"What's the devil's reaction?" Tilly asked.
"The main target has shown no signs of moving, and only a few dinosaurs have risen to the skies for the time being, and it shouldn't be long before they spot the truck fleet. ”
"Good luck. Andrea whistled.
Indeed, good luck. Sylvie nodded imperceptibly - according to the plan made by the General Staff, the counterattack team was originally prepared to be spotted before they reached the fortress, and continued to forcibly fire at the target despite the blocking of the patrolling dinosaurs. This plan is based on the experience gained from previous battles with the Devil's Vanguard in the Fertile Plains, and if the opponent is Ersluk, twenty to fifteen kilometers is already a high-risk area.
Although a large number of troops have just been sent to Sunken Pond Bay, as an extremely important "mobile obelisk", there are still dinosaurs and many defenders stationed near the fortress. However, their cordon was not watertight, and for a long time, no dinosaurs flew over the area.
It was because the enemy did not detect the counterattack team early that Tilly asked Sylvie to continue guiding the truck forward until he was eight kilometers away from the target.
This can only show that the enemy army has slackened after the capture of the four cities!
In a moment, a second round of shells also whizzed.
The calibrated second round of strikes was noticeably more accurate, with two of them piercing through the towering skeleton of the fortress freak and landing at its feet, killing several madmen. The third shot pierced directly into the wide back of the freak beast, kicking up a cloud of snow and flesh and debris.
The freak let out an ear-piercing screech as it stepped forward on both legs.
More dinosaurs flew out from all directions and formed a formation in the air.
By the time they confirmed where the attack had come from, it was already five minutes later – not slow in previous battles, but five minutes was enough for the artillery to fire ten rounds of artillery against the fortified guns eight kilometers away, including time to adjust the firing parameters!
The operation did not end with a precise "leg break" as in the Battle of Tachira, but for the enemy, the result was much more tragic. The skeleton was scarred and riddled with craters, and through the layers of broken bones, it was possible to see the trembling organs beneath and the blue blood flowing everywhere. Despite its best efforts to escape, this attempt was ineffective compared to the rate of fire of the artillery.
When another cannonball burrowed into the beast's body, it let out a terrible wail, and its massive body exploded in a flash of blue light! The internal organs and blood fell like a waterfall, staining the snow on the hillside with a strange color. The empty limbs seemed to have lost their support, broken, peeled off, and collapsed feebly, and smashed into the devils who had no time to dodge, crushing them into a puddle of twisted rags.
"Beware, they're coming!"
At the same time, Sylvie also issued a warning to the convoy of the approaching dinosaurs.
