268 Engagements

Like a dense rainfall, more than 1,500 shells of different calibers and types fell on the thousands of monsters galloping on the battlefield. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next moment, the endless red lotus will bloom to the fullest!

The explosion, which was almost at the ******** level, swept across the field in an instant, accompanied by a shockwave, knocking the monster's shattered corpses into the sky, and also sweeping countless monsters into the sky. Subsequently, the ground shook and the ground shook until it reached the shelling position at the fourth alert point, and there was a slight shaking of the ground.

"The first round of shelling salvo is over! The results are confirmed! The number of enemy losses is estimated at around a thousand! ”

The T.P.H.E. working platform, which acts as a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft on the battlefield, feeds back the situation on the battlefield in real time to the armed fortress underground in Kawagoe City. However, because you can only use the "sin" detection circle, plus the accuracy of this circle, as well as the chaos on the battlefield, the most important thing is that the total number of enemies is too much, so it is only a fog to see the past, so you can only report some general situations, and you don't need to think about the accurate data of the enemy's losses.

And this time the harvest of the shelling was also quite good, almost every shell that landed took the life of an enemy. At the same time, it also caused a riot of monster groups. Even if these monsters are not frightened, a considerable number of monsters that are knocked to the ground by the shockwave will be trampled into pulp by their own people.

As for saying how a single cannonball can take only one enemy guy, go back and see how resistant these monsters are. There is a reduction of nearly sixty percent of all damage, and its own physical fitness is not comparable to that of a human being, which is weak or fragile, and the defense ability naturally does not need to say much.

Therefore, like a dense charge against humans, it is absolutely impossible for a single salvo to solve the problem.

Moreover, the fact that each shell can take away an enemy is also the result of Xuefeng and others adding materials to the shells and barrels.

In the case of an artillery unit in modern society, it would probably need to be several times more volleyed than the current artillery position in order to achieve the same results.

That's right, in the previous time, Yukikaze finally took the time to complete the manufacture of the enchantment assembly line. Seriously, the most important thing that restricts the enchantment process is the raw materials. In order to obtain a powerful enchantment effect, you must obtain an energy supply, for example, in the world of The Elder Scrolls Online, enchantment is to use soul stones filled with soul energy as an energy source. In other magical worlds, the Magic Crystal Mine has become a strategic-level existence because of this.

Of course, if you don't want to equip your equipment with an energy fountain and want to get an enchantment effect, you can do it. Although slow, inefficient, and ineffective, there are still quite a few enchanted equipment that directly use the energy in the air as their own energy source. As a result, these equipment have greater requirements for the environment than mages.

Seriously, unless it's some special enchantment effect, such as channeling, which requires mental power and other things to assist, other types of enchantment are still very simple. After all, in addition to some special enchantment methods, the most important thing in enchantment is the magic array.

Compared with manual work, the mechanical equipment on the assembly line can naturally achieve a more perfect depiction of the magic circle. It's just that when the mage is enchanted, he will also use his spiritual power to guide the energy between heaven and earth to adjust the various details of the magic circle (although the vast majority of mages themselves do not have this consciousness), so the effect of enchantment will naturally be better than the assembly line products that will use energy to forcibly penetrate the magic circle when the magic circle is completed and make it work.

Therefore, even if the enchanted equipment really becomes an assembly line operation product, the enchanter will not be starved to death. Of course, enchanters who are not skilled in their studies and skills are not very clever will not be treated well.

Since we talk about enchantment, let's explain that Yukikaze is the energy source for enchantment devices installed on mechs such as bipedal walkers.

That's right, the source of energy for enchantment is one with the energy of the body itself, and that is now the main energy source of the Overwatch Dragon Legion that is now completely popularized by Xuefeng and others, as the main energy source of the Overwatch Dragon Legion at this stage - magic energy!

It can be transformed into a universal energy, not so much as an energy source, but rather an intermediate product of energy in the transformation process, and magic energy, which is a super easy to use energy, is naturally enough to be used as both a source of energy for the body and an energy source for the magic array.

However, compared to the semi-perpetual motion machine-magic energy reactor carried on these bodies of the origin of GMZ-001, the magic energy devices used by bipedal walkers, quadruped chariots, and knight apprentices are the newly completed rechargeable magic energy storage devices.

After all, as cannon fodder on the battlefield, the extravagant act of installing a magic energy reactor on a bipedal walker cannot afford Xuefeng and the others, who are still in a state of extreme poverty. If you have the energy to do this, let's build your main base: Dragon Island Aura first.

And the four-legged chariot, which is not the main force, is naturally impossible to install the luxury of the magic energy reactor. As for the reason why the knight apprentice didn't install the magic energy reactor, one of them was the volume. Although it is a lot more than humans, the overall volume of the knight apprentice is actually only a little larger than the standard FIAW, and as an ace body, the various equipment and devices inside are naturally not much less, and there is naturally not much space left for the energy supply device.

Until now, Xue Feng and the others still have not been able to narrow down the magic energy reactor, which has extremely strict requirements in all directions, to the extent that it is allowed to be carried on the FIAW.

However, the most important reason is that as a product of the early stage, the knight apprentices who will probably be updated soon will not need the existence of the semi-perpetual motion machine of the magic energy reactor.

After improving the technology and process, the mass-produced magic energy storage device is enough to supply the bipedal walker and the enchanted equipment on it for a long time, and it is also enough to supply the knight apprentice for a fierce battle, so as to be the main energy source for several organisms, it is enough.

If long-distance combat is not enough, just load a few more, anyway, it is similar to the nature of carrying oil drums on Tan~Ke. Although for Xue Feng and others, who focus on the development of space jumping techniques and tactics, this scheme may not be used.

Having said so much off-topic, now let's get back to the point.

It is precisely because of the simplest enchantment of all the shells and barrels that the power of the shelling is greatly enhanced, so that more than 1,000 bipedal walkers on the shelling position can achieve the results of more than 1,000 monster losses.

But because of this, the strength of the enemy is highlighted. This kind of strong defense ability made Kiriko and Rifa deeply understand that if Yukikaze and the others refused to help this time, Kawagoe City would probably collapse as soon as possible.

However, only the first salvo artillery bombardment will achieve such results, even if the opponent does not adopt any other strategy, as the shelling continues, the enemy's formation will become more and more sparse, and the weak will be killed in the first few shellings, resulting in fewer and fewer results. And this needs to be solved by quantity, or enchantment.

If the simple enchantment of the shell increases the power of the explosion and increases the lethality of the shell in all directions, then the barrel enchantment of the large-caliber heavy gun not only strengthens the speed of the shell, but also makes the barrel more difficult to enter the overheating state, and increases the duration of the full load shell.

And the fully automated reloading mechanism naturally also provides a reloading speed that cannot be compared with manpower. Therefore, under the coordination of the underground armed fortresses, the bipedal walkers used in the artillery warfare fired more than ten rounds of continuous salvos at extreme speed in the short period of time when the monster group entered the maximum range until it entered a state of full entanglement with the frontal troops (the distance between the fourth alert point and the main battlefield was still quite far, so the longest range was actually not far from the frontal troops).

After controlling the two-thirds to three-quarters of the ammunition he was carrying (why don't you kill all the children in one go, when you play the landlord, will you throw all the bombs out in one go?) The bipedal walkers on the shelling positions achieved brilliant results of at least four thousand. Successfully pulled the number of enemies below the total number of our frontal forces.

In the midst of the incessant artillery bombardment, the monster approached the line of defense established by the frontal forces of the unmanned legion. But to be honest, on the frontal battlefield, there is no immediate entry into close combat. After all, neither the quadruped chariot nor the various ranged weapons mounted on the bipedal walker are meant to be watched and played.

At the beginning, the arrangement of the formation already had a deep meaning, 2 knight apprentices, scattered with 100 quadruped chariots stood in the front row of the formation, and the rest of the directional loopholes were all shared by the melee modified bipedal walkers. The bipedal walker in the middle of the formation is a medium-range engagement aircraft equipped with various medium- and long-range weapons such as large-caliber cannons. At the end of the formation are missile launchers, cannons, and other long-range weapons that can be used for warp fire.

The range of these weapons is barely the longest range of shelling positions, but it is not the best range of these weapons. Therefore, as the monster continued to advance, according to the distance of the firing range, the frontal troops also began to erupt in a blazing rain of bullets.

Why do you say that missiles can't go beyond the maximum range of shelled positions? The reason is very simple, first of all, because of the enchantment, the range of artillery fire is actually quite wide, at least much wider than that of modern artillery units. Only a dozen rounds of salvos were fired, again because the frontal troops were at a considerable distance from the shelling positions. Then, and finally, the reason is that the missiles mounted on the bipedal walker are not small or medium missiles with a range of kilometers, but miniature missiles with a very limited range and power.

The main combat goal of the miniature missile is to deal with hand-to-hand combat and combat against small creatures such as humans, so both in terms of range and power, compared with other types of missiles, it is the smallest size.

To put it simply, the miniature missile is an enhanced version of the RPG, and with the automatic navigation system, the range is naturally impossible to be farther than the group of bipedal walkers used in artillery warfare on the shelling position.

As long as there is enough distance, as long as there is enough ammunition, as long as the weapons can break through the defense, the lethality of the modern army is quite terrifying, and before the enemy rushes into the formation, the number is cut by two thousand again.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that many monsters are seriously injured under the effect of artillery bombardment, and one of the attack priority settings of the bipedal walker and other mechs is determined according to the degree of injury of the enemy. On the real battlefield, whether it is for the enemy's hand or for one's own self-confidence, unless it is a tactical arrangement, being injured but not dying is almost equivalent to suicide.

In the process, Kiriko and Lifa, who had played virtual reality games, also adapted to the remote control system designed by Xue Feng and others at a very fast speed.

At this time, the two of them are lying next to Baihui, wearing equipment that looks similar to the previous game headset, receiving information through their eyes and hearing (the safety of the one-way brainwave device is unquestionable), and then using the brainwave to control various types of bipedal walkers and other mechs on the frontal battlefield, pouring their ammunition into the surging sea of enemies.

In order to adapt to the remote control system they are currently wearing, as well as to obtain more specific combat abilities and stats for bipedal walkers, quadruped chariots, and knight apprentices, the two of them will control almost every type of body for a period of time, and after thoroughly understanding all the weapons and equipment on it, they will change the body they control.

After all, in reality, of course, it is impossible for the enemy to have a protagonist machine that cannot be killed no matter how much the enemy fights, and maybe you have just controlled a body for less than three seconds, and the body will be destroyed by the enemy. Therefore, Kiriko and Lifa, who are extremely combat-conscious, naturally understand how important it is to be familiar with the performance and armament of all types of bodies on the battlefield before the battle begins.

(To put it simply, the remote control system is the same as the heroine Aya in "Third Birthday", after the controlled body is broken, it will immediately take over the control of the next machine located on the battlefield according to the previously set priority or the will of the controller)

As for why there were only Kiriko and Lifa, it was naturally because there were only so many people present who could use the remote control system. Lilian and the three of them are still fighting the sea beasts and weather on the sea, Ellie is not good at fighting, Chrissy is taking over the intelligence feedback of all the T.P.H.E. work platforms, and Lushun has no extra computing power because he needs to manage the entire research base and be responsible for the specific command of the unmanned army.

Xuefeng, who seems to be quite idle, needs to command and arrange the entire battle situation, and as a battlefield commander, it is naturally impossible to have spare energy to ~ control the body. Even if you have the spare strength, you can't do this, the fighter on the battlefield is fleeting!

That's why it's said that the activation of the remote control system is more to collect data, even if Xue Feng said this with a serious face.

On the eve of melee combat, all but the knight apprentices, quadruped chariots and bipedal walkers lowered their bodies and drove their leg stakes into the ground to resist the first and strongest wave of the monsters.

Before the official battle, Kiriko switched to the knight apprentice who had specially prepared to replace the two-handed sword with a pair of twin swords, while Lifa controlled a four-legged chariot behind Kiriko, ready to support Kiriko.

Then, the real battle began. (To be continued.) )
