Chapter 32: Chaos (Part II)
Although the size of the city far exceeded any Hell Native Settlement that the 3009 Brigade Commander had ever seen before, and the rapid downing of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft also showed the city's tight defenses, these did not shake the confidence and determination of the 3009 Brigade Commander in the slightest.
The natives of hell are just like that, no matter how many they are, they will naturally disperse after a few bombardments.
Just as rabbits are meat, cats and dogs are meat, cows and horses are still meat in the eyes of the commander, in the eyes of this commander mage, this city that obviously has an important checkpoint role is just a piece of fatter meat, and perhaps the only difference between his heart and the villages and towns he has encountered before is that he can grab more.
Before launching the attack, the commander sent the evil spirits to reconnoiter the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon in case the enemy was ambushed.
In fact, the use of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft has obtained more reliable results.
However, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are expensive, there are only two of them per unit, and after the 3009 Brigade loses one, the commanding mage does not dare to release another one, so he can only send evil ghosts to fly to the mountain wall to reconnoitre.
After receiving the news of safety, the troops began to enter the canyon.
After briefly observing the topography of the canyon, the commander formed a simple quintuple formation of the demon puppet troops to which he belonged, advanced along the canyon pass, and as usual, stopped about four miles from the city and began a continuous artillery bombardment.
Traditionally, these natives would collapse after a third round of shelling, but they were relatively small, and the commander thought that the city could withstand about ten rounds of shelling, so in order to save ammunition and time, the commander targeted the walls and gates, and decided to destroy the walls and the defenders on them.
Such a team is too small and weak compared to the majestic city in the canyon, and if you look down from the height, it looks like a group of ants preparing to attack the tree.
The walls of this checkpoint city are nearly 100 meters high, and if it were in the human world, it would definitely be a miraculous building, which might attract countless architects and archaeologists to explore the secrets.
However, the commander of the 3009 Brigade obviously did not have too high consciousness and understanding, and this tall wall was an obstacle to his fortune in his eyes, and he was really disgusted.
At the sound of an order, five rows of demon puppets fired thousands of cannons in unison, and the fierce artillery fire instantly covered the area of about a kilometer around the city gate.
The whole canyon shook with a loud bang, and the debris on both sides of the mountain wall rained down like drops.
Fortunately, the commander mage sat in the Yuki Qì Gundam, so he was not afraid of falling rocks.
The command mage of each unit is equipped by the company with one or two modified Gundams. The chest and abdomen of this Gundam were hollowed out and a seat was installed, and the commander was in the seat to accompany the troops during the battle. Of course, the existing technology is not enough to install the facilities to control the operation, and the command mage's car is also controlled by the evil spirits possessed by it, and the command mage can ask the evil spirits to execute it with simple commands, which makes the Gundam a little sluggish and not suitable for participating in fierce battles.
After the first round of shelling, the attack was temporarily halted, and when the dust fell on the city walls, the mage was carefully observed.
The results of the shelling were satisfactory to him.
After just one round of shelling, cracks had already appeared in the wall of the target section, and there were no living creatures in the head of the city.
"Keep shelling, five shots!"
Following the command of the mage, the demon puppet concentrated its artillery fire on a round of five consecutive fires.
Under such a violent blow, the seemingly heavy walls crumbled, and the surviving natives could be seen wandering around the high ruins, looking dumbfounded.
It was not even possible to organize an effective counterattack.
"Vulnerable!"
After the commander had commented so contemptuously, he ordered his troops to move forward, maintaining a moderate intensity of artillery fire, and to extend the coverage of the walls that were still standing upright in the rear and on both sides.
There was no resistance, as usual.
Once you're behind the walls, it's time to plunder.
The thought of the wealth that such a huge city could contain made the commander tremble with excitement.
Grab this ticket, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
At that time, you don't have to continue to do it in the company, first take the money to buy some ghosts and turn them in to upgrade to a senior member, and then you can enjoy the blessings in the name of a senior member.
The demon puppet forces soon rushed to the ruins.
Unexpectedly, what appeared in front of me was not an undefended city with the gate open and allowed the king to plunder, but another high city wall!
Because the ruins are so high, I couldn't see the wall behind it until I reached the top of the ruins.
It seems that this second wall is slightly shorter than the previous one, but the ground of the two walls is dug deep down to form a deep trench, so the actual height of the second wall is much higher than that of the first wall.
The distance between the two walls is about 500 meters, and you can see that the walls are full of defending indigenous soldiers, crowded next to each other, standing there like targets, and if a cannonball falls, it can kill a large area.
The commander was a little puzzled, and took out a limited number of photos taken by the downed unmanned reconnaissance plane to check them, and there was no storage of the second city wall in the photos, only two photos of the first city wall, followed by the inner city with rows of houses.
Maybe he flew too fast and skipped the second wall.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was just a little more troublesome, and it would be enough to bang again.
Thinking so, the commander was about to give the order to attack, when he suddenly felt a float under his feet, as if the solid earth had turned into a floating angry wave in an instant, and the whole person had already involuntarily flown up.
A loud popping sound came into my ears.
The entire ruins exploded, and the entire demon puppet army was thrown into the air with a huge blast of mud and bricks.
The blazing and intense light of the fire surged out like a flood that broke the embankment, and rose into the sky, instantly reflecting half of the cloudy sky.
After the powerful shockwave that erupted in an instant disappeared, the debris in the sky kept falling like a torrential rain, mixed with the evil ghost puppets that had been blown away.
The evil ghosts who controlled the puppet were not afraid of the impact of such an explosion, and jumped up one after another when they fell to the ground.
The only one who didn't jump was the commander mage.
Although the poor command mage was hiding in the Gundam, which had both a powerful protective circle and a sturdy shell of the Gundam, the violent concussion was not within these protective ranges, and he was directly stunned at the first moment of the explosion.
The demon puppets, who had lost their command, immediately redirected Nyoraguay's mistakes, standing blankly in place, at a loss.
