Chapter 1271: Burning Sky Fire
Inside an abandoned house in Broken Fang, Jodah is watching through the observation hole, watching the situation in Fangs City. Due to the difference in terrain, he could only see a small area of the city gate, which would be the first place they wanted to take after the battle began.
In this interception operation, the Mojin people will be the first to launch the charge.
It wasn't that Lord Brian intended to treat them as consumables, but rather an opportunity they had earned for themselves.
Proving oneself by force and exchanging merit for resources is the common norm in the extreme south.
Jodah came from a small and inconspicuous tribe in the oasis, and when the Yinchuan oasis faded, his clan was on the brink of life and death, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have taken a huge risk to deal with the northerners. But now, everyone in the clan has safely moved to the Clear Water Harbor, the eternal green land they once dreamed of, and this is the reward he received for the Great Chief's battle against the Fury Waves and the Bone-Smelting Clan.
Therefore, Jodah's idea of taking the initiative to ask for war is very simple, kill more enemies, so that the people can live better. As for who the enemy is, it doesn't matter. Even the devil from hell is no more terrible than hunger, thirst, and the panic that there may be no tomorrow in sight at any time.
He believed that most of the sandfolk who came here were the same as he thought.
"Did you find anything?" asked someone behind him.
"No, you can't see anything but the red mist getting thicker. Jodah lightly closed the hole and turned back.
The interrogator was none other than the youngest in the group, Fala, with a gun almost longer than his torso behind his back, and a deep scar on his face that stretched from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, which looked very different from his youthful features. For this person, Jodah was quite impressed, although the other party looked young, the quality shown in training and actual combat was different from ordinary people, even those experienced and famous martial artists may not be able to win against him.
It stands to reason that such a person could not be unknown in the small oasis, but the truth is that Jodah had never heard of such a person before.
"We've been waiting almost two weeks, haven't we?" Fara complained, "and hundreds of people in one place can just drive people crazy." β
"Didn't Lord Brian say that the devil has a giant beast that can fly, and if we want not to attract the attention of the enemy, we can only ambush in advance. Jodah was a little surprised, "Haven't you ever participated in the hunting ceremony? It's normal to lurk in the bushes for half a month in order to hunt a sandworm, so what's the problem with waiting a little longer?"
According to the plan, Iron Axe mobilized a total of about 2,000 men to disperse and hide in the northern neighborhood of Broken Tooth Fort, and arranged a reserve force of 1,000 men in the inner city a little further south. The hiding place has long been organized, and on the surface it looks like a ruin, but inside it has built a simple shelter, the upper floor is used for reconnaissance, and the lower floor is inhabited, not only with water and food, but also from sleeping and excretion. Although it is not completely isolated from the smell, it is a relatively relaxed environment compared to the hunting ceremony.
He didn't quite understand why the other party suddenly complained about this.
"You...... I don't understand. Fala stopped talking, glared at him in disgust, and sat down against the wall. "What did you say about the use of the tin cans they had prepared? They were digging pits and burying threads, and as a result, the enemy came over, but there was no movement over there. β
"I don't know...... But if it's something that the Great Chief has come up with, I don't think it's strange that anything happens. β
All kinds of incredible supplies, tools and weapons, he has seen too many in more than a year.
"Hopefully it won't be the next madness pill. Fala muttered.
Where did he seem to have heard of this...... Joda just wanted to ask the other party, when someone suddenly poked his head out from under the slab, "News is coming from the rear, the attack will start soon, you guys hurry up and prepare." β
"Whew-" Fara let out a sigh, "I finally don't have to wait any longer, I'll go down." β
Jodah was more thoughtful, "What is the order to attack, is it still the same as planned?"
"That's right," replied the man, "when the explosion sounds, it's time for the whole army to go out. β
......
"It's time," Iron Axe commanded, lowering his goggles and turning, "Let's start powering it now." β
"Yes!" the two soldiers of the demolition team turned the hand-cranked generator with great force, while the third man put his hand on the lever.
After a long period of preparation and planning, it was finally time to be verified. The range of the red mist has now covered the Wolf Heart King City, and if the First Army continues to retreat, the Broken Tooth Fort will soon fall into the hands of the devil - these two cities are like the Gray Keep King and the Silver Light City, almost close together, in the past, the Broken Tooth Fort has become an excellent barrier for the Fangs City with its dangerous terrain, and there is still a saying in the Wolf Heart that the broken teeth are not lost and the royal city is unhindered. But now, they're going to use Broken Tooth Keep as a stepping stone to give the enemy who occupies Fangs a head-on blow!
Iron Axe had long noticed that the devil did not always carry that breathing apparatus, and presumably for them, these outfits were an extra burden. Except for the mad demon squad that is chasing the fleeing refugees, the rest of the enemies will basically only operate within the range of the red mist.
This clearly gave the First Army an opportunity to take advantage of.
"My lord, the demolition team is ready!"
The Iron Axe ordered in a deep voice, "Detonate!"
As the soldier pressed the lever hard, a dazzling red light suddenly rose from the north of the Broken Tooth Fort! More than five hundred iron barrels were instantly detonated at the same time, and countless golden flames rose into the sky, enveloping the entire royal cityβ
Everyone heard a continuous roar.
But that's just the beginning.
The barrel is filled with the rubber insect gel prepared by Kaimo, but more importantly, it is extremely flammable oil and aluminum, magnesium powder and other accelerants. In their solidified state, they appear soft and harmless, but when the blast wave of explosives tears them into a mist and sends them into the sky, the scattered gel becomes an extremely lethal substance. Because the combustion expanded so quickly that it was like an explosion, the air was heated to nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius in a very short time, and the expanding air flow further fueled the fire.
This is when the chain reaction takes place.
Probably above a certain threshold, the rain of fire that should have fallen suddenly tore through the sky, and like orange-red lightning, it formed a huge net above the city!
Iron Axe was also stunned by this shocking scene, and it was only a moment later that he realized that it was a rain of fire that had ignited the red mist! The rapidly splitting red "electric light" filled the entire sky in an instant, turning the net into an airtight cover!
Then an even bigger explosion came.
The fiery red cover was shattered, and a huge fireball rose from it, like a firebird breaking out of a shell, and went straight to the skyβ
The roar was far greater than the sound of the bucket being detonated.
The Iron Axe even saw a vision of the air around the royal city being distorted!
The earth seemed to tremble!8)
