Chapter 1272: Under the Flames

At the first explosion, Jodah's team followed the instructions and streamed out of the hiding place one by one.

But before they had taken a few steps, there was another earth-shattering bang from the north! The sound was so loud that it stirred up the dust on the ruins, and the ground shook so violently that everyone almost fell to the ground.

Jodah steadied himself and looked in the direction of Fangs in amazement—due to his low position, he could only see a ball of orange fireball mixed with billowing smoke rising like a fist swinging into the sky. Around the flames, the red mist was brightened, as if the sky was burning.

There was a look of horror in the sandfolk's eyes.

This momentum...... I'm afraid it can be described as the wrath of the three gods!

"Don't be afraid!" Jodah cried out through gritted teeth, "That's the Great Chief's trick, it's used against the enemy!

His words brought everyone back to their senses.

"That's right, it's the Heavenly Fire from the Great Chief!"

"Don't stop, keep going!"

The stagnant squad ran again, in the cracks in the walls, in the windows, in the corners of collapsed houses...... Someone kept popping up and joining the attacking team. Soon, this inconspicuous flow of people quickly turned into a wave that could not be ignored, rushing straight towards Fangs City.

Jodah ran first.

Although he had long been convinced of the Great Chief, he had always believed that the Sandfolk were better suited to fight than the Northerners, especially a small clan warrior like him, who had been born in a barren oasis and had been fighting to the death since childhood. Not only the bow and arrow, but also the musket. After receiving Brian's training, he even developed a unique skill, not only to shoot on a fixed target, but also to shoot well in running.

Now is the time to prove yourself.

Not only did he have to be the first to storm the city, but he also had to get the first result of his army.

He wants Jodah, the name of Mogin, to be heard throughout the army!

However, as the troops made their way up the gentle slope and just got a glimpse of the walls of Fang, a formidable wave of heat swept over them—for a moment, Jodah almost thought he was back in the far south, and at the top of the dunes at midsummer afternoon.

The hot air scorched his skin, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

The people in the back are no better.

The whole team seemed to crash into an invisible wall, and the speed of their advance suddenly slowed down, and even some of the northerners who rushed forward ran back in confusion, crouching down at the bottom of the ramp, as if they could avoid the sudden scorching heat.

Jodah walked dozens of steps, and felt more and more that something was wrong.

The fireball that had risen into the air had been extinguished, and only a circle of smoke was still spreading, and a piece of the red mist that had been overwhelming was missing here, as if it had been gnawed down by a giant beast. The surrounding mist did not fill immediately, but formed a large arc-shaped void.

Through the open gates, he saw that the ground inside the city seemed to be churning in a heat wave, and the outlines of the buildings were distorted, especially the wooden houses that had been destroyed by the explosion, and the scorched black pillars were like devil's claws sticking out of the ground. The enemy did not rush to stop them, nor did they flee in panic - in fact he did not find any sign of the devil.

At the same time, Jodah felt that his chest was out of breath, and the heat surging around him made him dare not open his mouth to inhale, and his body seemed to resist to move on, each step heavy as a mountain.

Damn it...... When did you become so vulnerable?

Obviously, the city wall was not far away, but he felt that his whole body had lost strength, and his vision was blurred.

Jodah stumbled twice and fell to the ground.

The last thing he saw was the disgusted face on Fala's face as she dragged him.

......

The direction of this blocking battle was completely beyond the expectations of the Iron Axe and the General Staff.

In the original plan, the burning barrels lined up around the north side of Wolfheart King City would turn most of the outer city into a sea of fire, and the raging flames would not only consume the flammable houses, but also burn the red mist inside and outside the city. This will make Fangs an "island" for the time being, and those demons who do not carry breathing apparatus will inevitably fall into chaos and panic.

The final word was the ambush force that took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack - although he did not know the exact number of opponents, but from past information, the devil would allocate manpower according to the size of the population. The evacuation of Fangs City would inevitably fall into the eyes of enemy scouts, so in the first few days covered by the red mist, there should not be more than five hundred enemies entering the city. In other words, both in terms of numbers and momentum, the First Army will have an absolute advantage.

As for how many enemies can be annihilated in the end, that is not the focus of this battle, after all, in order to avoid the detection of the dinosaurs, the soldiers can only hide in the dark passages and ruins in advance, and all heavy weapons are useless. It is not difficult to suppress the enemy with rifles and anti-devil grenades alone, but it is difficult to chase down the opponent all the way behind.

The main purpose of this battle is to combat the offensive arrogance of the devil. As long as they realize that the retreating humans still have the ability to fight back, they can then reduce the pressure on the evacuation team.

However, the operation only reached the "detonation" stage and came to an abrupt end.

The envisioned wall of fire did not appear, but turned into an earth-shattering explosion, and the royal city swept by the flames became a forbidden place, and the ambush force was forced back by the heat wave before they could even cross the city gate, and several people suffered burns and fainting. At this point, it is obvious that the follow-up offensive can no longer be carried out.

Of course, this did not mean that the resistance battle failed, the scorching air could be felt outside the city walls, and he could imagine what was going on inside the city with his eyes closed.

There has never been any proof that the devil is more resistant to burning than humans.

The only regret that Iron Axe felt was that he couldn't go around the battlefield in person to see the concrete results of this blockade - the temperature in the city would drop at some point, and this was obviously not a place to stay for a long time.

"My lord, all the troops have exited Broken Fang, and we are the only ones left. Brian walked into the makeshift command post with excitement in his eyes. For him, who did not experience the test of a new weapon, but witnessed it directly in actual combat, this battle is indeed a scene that will be remembered for a lifetime.

"Very well, let's retreat too. "I guess it won't be long before the enemy notices here, and it won't be so easy to get away when their pursuing troops arrive." ”

......

As he had predicted, less than a day later, a team of devils rode the dinosaur to Fangs City, led by the Lord of the Celestial Vault, Hekzord.
