Chapter 1156: The Battle of Taqila (Part II)

After passing the position, the lightning again climbed high into the air, and then ...... Stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked Maisie, cocking her head.

She didn't answer, but turned to look down in the direction of Tachira - in the dark night sky, two hundred meters was almost the limit of her visual distance, and trying to find the demon slayer in such conditions was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But it doesn't matter if she can't see.

Lightning knew the other party could see her.

Judging from the direction of Tachira, she should be facing away from the moon at the moment, and as long as the demon slayer raised his head, it was impossible to ignore a little black shadow in the moon white.

But it didn't chase it.

The only reason could be that the other party has realized that her speed is far beyond its reach.

It abandons useless attempts.

She won this game!

Lightning took a deep breath and held out her right hand into the night, and although her fingertips were still trembling slightly, she mustered up the courage to raise her middle finger.

It was a sign of victory that His Majesty had taught her!

Then she turned around and flew in the direction of her camp without looking back, telling Sylvie what she had seen.

"Is it a regular cylinder of the Stone of Divine Punishment...... I know. The latter wrote down the approximate dimensions and passed them on to Agatha. Estimating the shape of the shadow and the location of the stone pillar based on the volume of the stone stone was a basic skill for the high-level members of the Exploration Society, and the corrected data was soon transmitted back to the observation room.

Although there is a visual error in this, it is better than indiscriminate fire. After using the Eye of Magic to determine the location, Sylvie picked up the phone of the artillery battalion.

After a while, the first roar erupted from the fortress artillery position!

Although the flames that came out of the chamber flickered like fireflies, they were still very striking to the plains shrouded in darkness.

Especially when more artillery joined the attack, the glow of the muzzle even faintly reflected the outline of the position. Sometimes the flame tail from the warhead will draw a brief trajectory, like a meteor jumping from the ground.

On the other side, the echoes of the explosion continued, and the fertile plain, which was in its slumber, was finally awakened.

"It's so beautiful......" Maisie muttered as she looked at the hidden artillery position without blinking.

Lightning stood in the wind and clenched his fists.

- Now, only the last level remains.

......

Usluk floated in mid-air, indifferently watching as pillars of mud rose up in front of and behind his troops—humanity's most threatening attack to date, killing more than a dozen protozoes in an instant as soon as projectiles landed in the middle of an army. And its power does not need to be shown by contact, even if it is tens of meters away, the iron pieces that burst out of the projectile are enough to pierce the armor and tear the flesh.

Even it was not sure to block a direct hit.

In its report to the Lord of the Firmament, the Maharaja, it named the weapon "Rain of Fire".

In addition, there are "Fire Crossbows" that continuously fire crossbow arrows, and "Fire Branches" that can be carried by a single person...... All of humanity's current evolution undoubtedly comes from the element of fire. Compared to the "inheritance and promotion" that the Maharaja thinks, it is more inclined to be an accident - in terms of diversity of abilities, witches are superior, if there is a suitable awakened person in the past few hundred years, coupled with the long-term study of fire by human beings, it is not impossible to achieve a large span of improvement.

But even if humanity has embarked on a path that is completely contrary to theirs, it does not mean that it is helpless. For example, the rolling stone made by using the original vein of divine punishment shows a hardness that is strong enough to resist fire and rain. Ersluk could clearly see that the stone remained intact during several direct head-on hits and violent explosions, and when the opponent's projectile hit the edge of the pillar, it would even bounce straight away, leaving not even a single hole.

What is really dangerous is the rain of fire that happens to cross the stone pillars and smash into the "tombstones". Their invulnerable armor is completely vulnerable in the face of the rain of fire, and as long as they take a hit, they will basically be torn apart.

Ironically, Wang had high hopes for this sturdy, painless and fearless symbiote, believing it to be the most valuable breakthrough from the Legacy Shards, which not only greatly enhanced the supply capacity of the frontline, but also enriched the Race's means of warfare. It only takes a hundred tombstones to completely wipe out the human race, that is, the inferior insects in the eyes of most people.

So the Maharaja handed over to him no more and no less, exactly a hundred.

As a result, after more than half a year of fighting, not only were the human race not exterminated, but the Tachira was already crumbling. And less than forty percent of the tombstones that Ersluk can still drive now.

If the Lord of the Celestial Dome had not trusted the king too much in this point, how could it be so stretched now?

If these symbiotes are consumed on the way, it will have to let the protozoites fight it.

That was not much different from sending to death - the impact of the rain of fire smashing on the Divine Punishment Stone Pillar was definitely beyond the ability of the primordial body to fight, and even the black stone claws of the tombstone could be broken, let alone the physical body?

But Ersluk didn't care.

Because the sacrifices are worth it.

And human beings ...... will pay for their sacrifice.

......

At 10 p.m., the underground headquarters.

The battle had been going on for nearly three hours now, and every five minutes the Iron Axe would hear the dull sound of artillery fire overhead, along with sparse dust falling.

Other than that, there was no movement in the position, as if the devil had not launched a general attack, and that the First Army was firing into the air from beginning to end.

This is a far cry from previous wars.

In order to save ammunition and protect the barrel, he had the artillery battalion extend the firing interval and direct most of the fire behind the shadows. The problem is that even if such a blow causes actual damage to the devil, the results cannot be observed through the Devil's Eye.

The only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that the 152mm Fortress Cannon cannot destroy the Pillar of Punishment. Although the intense artillery bombardment minimizes the Shadow's movement speed, it always recovers, and it is unknown how the Spider Demon managed to get such a large creature rolling through the crater.

"Damn," Iron Axe punched the table in annoyance, "If it were daytime, these monsters wouldn't have survived now!"

The biggest trouble encountered by the First Army at present is that no one knows exactly where the shells have landed -- if the artillery wants to hit the target, it has to correct the landing point through multiple test firings, but in the face of two blind spots with a width of more than 150 meters and a length of almost infinity, each shot is equivalent to a test firing without feedback.

According to Sylvie's observations, the Demon Slayer did not break into the camp, but kept roaming above the shadows, apparently on the lookout for lightning. Although the speed of the latter is above the enemy, but the high-speed flight consumes a lot of mana, and it is okay to intersperse two times if you are cold, and it is too dangerous to always hover above the black shadow and provide the direction of the landing point while getting rid of the demon slayer.

Not getting feedback means you can't get additional hits.

As a result, it became difficult to quickly destroy the enemy's living forces through intensive firepower.

The situation was like a gamble, he could have poured all the shells into the shadows and halted them completely, but the enemy would be wasting ammunition if they pulled the Spider Demon back.

In addition, there are also many mad demons on the two wings outside the black shadow, who seem to want to form a situation of entrapment on the left and right. If you aim your artillery at them, you can immediately know the results of the battle, but these devils are very sparsely distributed, and it is a pity to deal with them exclusively.

"That's why the enemy chooses to attack at night. Edith said calmly, "This is already a gratifying result...... Without Sylvie, let alone the Shadow Blind Spot, we wouldn't even know where the enemy is. Besides, the devil is always on the beaten side, and he is not in a hurry, so why should you care. ”

"I just don't want to waste all the ammunition I've been accumulating. Iron Axe frowned.

"Rest assured, they can't push that thing all the way down, and I think the other side knows that, and when they get within range of the mortar, they'll launch a general attack. The Northland Pearl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's a pity that the devil doesn't know that the night is only temporary, and when they enter the range of the flares, it will be the time to divide the victory and defeat." ”
