Volume 9 My Name Kane Chapter 6 Small Victory But No Victory
Empress Isaac issued a provisional order for war. The country's merchants were required to immediately supply food to civilians at cost price, and all food exports were suspended, and the resulting losses would be subsidized by the state after the war. The same is true for the rest of the industries, where all industries except for non-essential goods are suspended, and military needs are fully guaranteed, with stability as the first factor in the country, while implementing austerity development policies.
As soon as Empress Isaac's order was issued, the rest of the country followed suit, but the merchants, who were in pursuit of profit first, did not fight back against Europe, knowing that if they lost this war, they were about to face the most tragic outcome in human history.
Lingnan County almost assembled all the warriors on the same day, and after two years of development, all the warriors have successfully equipped the Stygian Locust, and the black warriors have become 100% the main force. In order to ensure their survival rate in maximum strength, domestic weapon design experts tailor a set of heavy armor for them, and at the same time eliminate their tower shields. Divide them into two groups, one group with four hands all using large swords, and the other group all using giant shields, called shield warriors. All weapons are fully fastened to the armor by locks, so that they will not fall off due to heavy combat.
This design was completely modified because of the devil's super attack power, although the black warrior has good defense and can regenerate, but there is no way to reflect this advantage in front of the devil. On the contrary, their two-handed greatswords could not play their due advantage because the opponent's movement speed was too fast. So according to the advice of the experts, the black knights were divided into two groups, one group was mainly responsible for defense, using heavy spiked giant shields, and they could use giant shields full of spikes to bombard each other directly. The other group uses swords that are relatively small compared to the greatsword to increase the slashing speed and attack range, seeking the initiative in attacking.
Lingnan County deployed all the troops facing the Hell Rift, and one-third of the country's Burning Crystal Cannons were deployed to the front line, and at the same time, all the remaining scorpions of the Gray Dragon Fort were dispatched to complete the assembly on the side of the front line. All the troops who were fighting the Ike began to fight and withdraw one after another, and they had to rush back home as quickly as possible. But the Redskins certainly wouldn't agree with this opinion so easily.
Although Wang Wei has no news, but the connection between Wang Wei's contract creatures is still very close, at the same time as the devil appeared, Terra received a report from Hurley, unlike other armies, Terra is not worried about the safety of the Gray Dragon Castle, although part of the team was taken out by himself, but with the natural danger of the cage basin, even if the devil invades, there is only one way, once they enter the range of the cage basin, then what awaits them will be the attack of the world tree. No, the devil will survive the magnetic storm turbulence, that's inevitable.
The only thing to worry about now is whether the devil who has been delaying the attack this time is brewing a new round of conspiracy, and as time goes by, a considerable number of hellish creatures have gathered near each hell rift, including devils and more unknown strange creatures. These things are pouring out of the rifts every day, growing their ranks even bigger.
"Don't tell me, you don't know anything, you should know something. β
Tyra asked Hurley.
"I really don't know much this time. A few days ago, Lingling brought news that Di Mo Gaogen's hiding place on the sixth floor was found by the Hell Deep Red Dragon, and tens of thousands of Deep Red Dragons attacked his hiding place together, forcing him to disappear again. To be sure, De Mogorgen is really crazy, he's sending demons out in defiance of the rules, I don't know what he means, but I can guess that this guy is asking these devils to find a new place for him to summon. β
Hurley was at the top of the World Tree looking into the distance.
"I want to know, if we don't go back, will Lingnan County be able to withstand it?"
Tyra wasn't worried about his own problems, he was worried about the problems of Lingnan County.
"Yes, Lingnan County is fully prepared, but judging from the current situation, although it may be tragic, Lingnan County can withstand it, but it may not be too long, you know, those devils are not here to travel. β
Hurley said.
"Well, I have a plan, as dangerous as it is, but just to contribute to the continent. β
Tyra said.
In the next few days, the Gray Dragon Fort army, which was originally only carrying out ordinary attacks on the periphery, suddenly began to take the initiative to attack, and a large number of mages were gathered to cast large-scale magic to cool down the scorching ground, and the artillery fire that did not need money once pressed the Redskin Legion back.
The armies of several countries that had been relieved of the fighting immediately took the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield and successfully broke away from the battle line with the help of Terra. This is Terra's plan, she knows that the war can't just focus on the present, the only purpose of the Ike tribe now is to get the armies of various countries out of this quagmire, and those armies have few long-range attack means except for a limited number of crystal-burning cannons, only the army of Gray Dragon Castle can carry out long-range bombardment on the front without money.
When all the other nations left the battlefield, there were only three armies left on the battlefield, the Ike Clan, Tolkien and the Grey Dragon Castle army.
Tolkien's army never really withdrew, they remobilized more Crystal Cannons from the country, and the Grey Dragon Castle army acted as the vanguard, suppressing the attacks of the Redskins many times. However, the problem of the Crystal Burning Cannon was also reflected at this time, that is, the rate of fire was slow, the movement was not flexible, and the range was very limited, especially compared to the Scorpion.
"Listen, as much as I may be touched by what you're doing, and I know what you're doing here, I always think you don't need to be so desperate to hand over the Ike to Tolkien, it's better for you to come back, as long as Tolkien retreats to the interior defenses, the Redskins won't have a good solution. β
Knowing that Terra was already locked in a standoff, Hurley persuaded in time.
"It's okay, let those redskins come, I still have a trick that doesn't work. β
Tyra said nonchalantly.
The so-called trick appeared one night, and the three large crystal-burning cannons on the scorpion's back fired the first shot of the counterattack, and these crystal-burning cannons were specially made. In the past two years, since it was the highest priority to prepare all the supplies for battle, there was nothing else made inside the Gray Dragon Castle at all, just these crystal-burning cannons that did not cost any shot. Each Crystal Burning Cannon costs a staggering amount of magic crystals, but since Wang Wei entered the Underworld, the supply of magic crystals has almost doubled continuously, so the Gray Dragon Castle can afford to squander it.
Eventually, these crystal-burning cannons were designed to be bulky weapons that needed to be charged for ten seconds. Since the charging time of ten seconds is really unbearable, it is simply made into a triple cannon, firing one every three seconds, and three barrels can be fired together at a critical moment! Since this new type of crystal cannon is no longer a direct cannonball, there is no so-called deviation, as long as the scorpion is aimed at the front to fire, then the deadly pillar of light will directly smash all the guys in front of you.
Originally, this kind of crystal-burning cannon had only been test-fired and had not been used on the battlefield, but the developer Rovel told Terra that if this thing could not shatter a lava golem with a single salvo, Rovel would be a slave to Terra for life.
The result was naturally the same as Rovel said, and the salvo of three guns easily turned a lava golem into burning rubble.
The effect of the new weapon was obvious, and the Ike were once again bombarded back by the mere 20,000 or so Grey Dragon Castle troops.
This time, the redskins finally stopped relying on the unadvantageous lava creatures and began to take the initiative, and the effect of this attack made the people on the continent realize for the first time that this race had never had any contact with humans.
Instead of wasting time summoning creatures from the magma underground, the Ike race, known as the Children of Fire, finally showed their amazing talent for fire on the battlefield, instead of wasting time summoning creatures from the magma underground, they smashed magma balls directly into Terra's troops, and some of them supported a red barrier, which was so highly defensive that the Mithril Elves had to use their talent of triple shots to penetrate a barrier, but this talent did not last as long as normal attacks, greatly reducing the attack power of Terra's sideγ
And on this day, the Scorpion forces on the Terra side suffered their first losses.
The fifteen scorpions were forcibly counter-summoned into the contract space because of serious injuries, and with this counter-summoning, the possibility of them returning to the battlefield again was almost zero, because Wang Wei was not here. Fifteen and twenty thousand, it seems inconspicuous in comparison, but this is the only family fund for Terra now, and for every loss of one, Terra will not have any room to replenish.
20,000 scorpions, if replaced by 20,000 human soldiers, may be more flexible than this, the key is that the area of 20,000 scorpions is too large, so that when those magma balls are smashed over, they are really unable to effectively organize defense, and the Star Iron Girls who are not afraid of flames can defend against this kind of attack, but compared to the huge number of scorpions, the number of Star Iron Girls is simply not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of protection.
In just one round, Terra won by a small margin, but the situation began to get tougher.
