Chapter 359: Reptile
The giant dinosaur seemed to be aware of the danger, and when it saw its owner fall, it flapped its wings and tried to flee the place, but it did not anticipate the difference between it and the time it came.
There are no more companions who disperse the fire for it, and it has lost the power to fall from the sky, and its huge body has slowed down the speed of climbing. If it was said that staying on the ground would make the machine gun squad afraid to open fire for fear of accidental injury, they would have completely lost this concern after rising into the air.
For a time, most of the battalion's anti-aircraft machine guns were aimed at this behemoth.
A dense barrage of barrages flew from all directions, engulfing the dinosaur entirely—visible sparks could be seen in the armor-covered parts, and the exposed flesh was quickly torn apart. This time it didn't even make a scream, and it tumbled and fell back to the ground. Foul-smelling blood trickled out of the honeycomb's bullet holes, quickly pooling into a puddle beneath him.
Agatha couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that Zoe is not wrong, the Witch of Divine Punishment is indeed a powerful trump card against high-level devils, and it is no wonder that many high-ranking members of the Federation will fall to the side of the Starfall Queen.
Being able to ban magic power at any time, pull enemies with different magic stones to the same level, and their own strength is not weaker than that of the transcendent, not only fundamentally solves the defect of the witch's extremely unstable ability, but also can achieve an unprecedented numerical advantage over the enemy, which is undoubtedly a ray of hope in despair for the retreating federation.
According to Master Akaris's original vision, as long as half of the non-combat witches participated in the transformation, it would mean that thousands of incapable personnel would become the top combat power. The battle witch takes on the army of demons, the witch is punished to slay the high-ranking devils, and the most intractable enemies are handed over to the transcendent, this is a battle in which the empire is fighting with all its might.
Considering that these Divine Punishment Witches were originally used as a killer weapon for the decisive battle with the devil, it seemed natural that they could take out the high-level devils so quickly - in other words, if the dozen or so of them had to deal with a high-level devil, it was impossible for the Starfall Queen to put their chips on this plan.
But it was too late.
Agatha looked at Zoe with satisfaction and pleasure at the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
If the Federation had been able to implement this plan at the beginning of its existence, perhaps the outcome of the Second War of the Divine Will would have been rewritten—at that time, although humanity had lost the Dawn Realm, there were still thousands of towns and nearly 10 million people in the Fertile Plains. On this basis, the Federation can assemble a powerful army that is not inferior to the devil.
After the defeat of the Battle of the Divine Will, all that was left for the Starfall Queen was a corner of land and less than a million savages. I'm afraid that when she made this decision, all she had in mind was to do her best.
"Won't you kill it?" Agatha walked over to Zoe.
The mortally wounded high-level devils are still dead, and these terrifying enemies are even more tenacious than the transcendent in terms of life force, and even without the observation of the Balance Stone, Agatha knows that the little magic left of the other party is wandering wildly throughout his body in a vain attempt to repair the broken body.
Of course, this does not mean that the devil can be seriously injured and not die - there is a limit to the body's ability to heal itself, and even if it is left alone, it will die in the consumption of mana.
Not to mention the red mist that is a little less with a little bit.
Presumably more than ending the other party, Zoe is more willing to appreciate the pain of the other person's dying?
"I'd like to spare it first," but the latter's reply surprised Agatha, "There are so many demons in this attack that we should be able to capture a lot of spacers." Treat the wound and add a little red mist, it should last a few more days. ”
"What do you want to do?" The Ice Witch frowned.
"Rest assured, while I personally desire to put it in eternal torment, that is without prejudice to the big picture." Zoe said, "If I'm not mistaken, in another witch squad, there seems to be a person with the ability to connect minds?" ”
"You want her to link up with the devil?" Agatha was surprised.
Zoe nodded, "I know it's risky, but if it does, we'll get a chance to face the devil head-on - as the superior commander, it's worth the risk!" ”
In the past, this was indeed a temptation that the higher-ups could not refuse, Agatha thought to herself. But this is no longer the era of the Federation, whether it is His Majesty Roland, or Tilly. Wimbledon would not force a witch to risk because of a single possibility.
Unless Camilla. Dai Rui volunteered.
Just as she hesitated, several explosions suddenly appeared on the other side of the position!
From here, I saw a large cloud of dust raised from the northern front, as if it had been swept away by something.
She didn't hear a fierce gunshot.
Could it be that the enemy still has a team of dinosaurs? Or is it ...... The line of defense has been broken by the devil?
Agatha hurriedly activated the Listening Sigil, "Sylvie, what's the situation on the front line now?" ”
"A monster that has never been seen before is attacking us," Sylvie's anxious voice came from the sigil, "the front line needs the support of the fortress cannons!" ”
……
After the pillar exploded, mortar shells also fell on the devil's army.
For the madmen clad in animal bones and leather, the 152mm howitzer did not differ much from the mortar, on the contrary, the latter, by virtue of its superiority in numbers and rate of fire, inflicted greater damage on the running enemy.
On the battlefield where shrapnel was flying, the devil who rushed with all his strength without cover further contributed to the killing efficiency of the shells, and it became the norm for an explosion to set off a fog of blood, and in the face of this continuous bombardment, the enemy's advance momentum was curbed.
But Sylvie no longer had the heart to focus on observing the outcome of the battle.
Aside from monitoring the movement in the sky, only the four evil monsters remained in her field of vision.
Unfortunately, mortars are not so useful against creepers made of black stone and metal.
If it is not a direct hit, it will be difficult for shrapnel alone to penetrate its shell.
At this moment, a black stone pillar grew from the creeper's back again—Sylvie found that it was really part of the monster's body, whether it was a stone or a meridian vessel, it was all peeled off from it little by little, and then reassembled the cylinder.
She knew she had to destroy the enemies who could attack from a distance as soon as possible.
The round of projectiles just now caused a lot of damage to the First Army - because of its defenselessness, more than 100 people were wounded on the front line, and even some soldiers were shot through the shoulders and chests and lungs in the trenches. What's more, the sudden and unheard-of attack with no countermeasures would be a devastating blow to morale.
Fortunately, the process of "growth" of the enemy was much slower than the loading of artillery.
"The artillery battalion is working hard to restore the fortified guns," Agatha's calm tone reassured her, "I asked the battalion commander to come and talk to you personally. ”
"Hello, you...... Miss Sylvie," and then a slightly reserved voice came, "I'm Camp Commander Vanna...... It will take a little time for the gun to return to its pre-firing state. Luckily, one of the guns was unaffected - if you can tell me the shooting parameters, I can arrange for manpower to support me now. ”
Sylvie couldn't help but clench her fists, she pressed the excitement in her heart, glanced at the compass in front of her, and reported the direction word by word, "North Point 11 degrees 17 minutes, 2310 meters away - please shoot!" ”
"Understood, 11 degrees 17 minutes at North Point, 2,310 meters away—" Vanner repeated, "Group 6, fire!" ”
