Chapter 385: Before the War
"Hahaha, old man, you see that Your Highness is the same as I thought!" Hearing Asa's words, Marcas felt proud and said to his uncle proudly.
Ralph also ignored him, just frowned and said, "Your Highness, do you also think that those demonic beasts are killing each other just to fill their stomachs?"
"Well, there's only one reasonable explanation, if I'm not mistaken, the Monster will conduct a general attack tomorrow morning. ”
"Come on, then, we've been preparing for so long, I'm tired of waiting, let them taste our human artillery!" Mars immediately became excited when he heard that the second emperor uncle Asa predicted that the demon beasts would carry out a general attack tomorrow.
In fact, not only him, but several other generals also thought so, for this war with Warcraft, the human race has been preparing for a long time, and now the soldiers are full of food, and it is the time when morale is high.
According to experience, many Warcraft will lose most of their combat effectiveness at night, so after discussing with the generals for a long time, Asa came to a conclusion that the chances of a large-scale attack by Warcraft tomorrow morning are very high.
"Your Highness, since it is basically confirmed, do you want to tell the people over there?"
"Hey, tell them what to do, we have magicians, demon warriors, artillery, but we don't really need their 50,000 people. ”
The civil officials of the two empires got along quite harmoniously, but the generals all held their breath.
After all, the two empires were still hostile before, and most of these generals were demon warriors, of course, graduated from the University of Oskaia.
Since joining the army, under the influence of his predecessors, he has always regarded the Viton Empire as an imaginary enemy, and the habits he has developed over the years cannot be reversed in a short period of time.
"Shut up, Marcas, this matter is up to Your Highness, and there is no place for you to speak!" Ralph was finally a little angry, this nephew of his own was very brave, but his head was not very good, and it was usually easy to say, when is it?
"Oh, I don't speak. Marcus saw that his uncle was angry, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Asa didn't blame him, and said solemnly: "Since our two empires are cooperating to resist the demonic beasts, of course we have to tell them, so let's send my guards over and invite those generals of theirs over to discuss, which also shows that we attach importance to them." ”
Everyone seconded the proposal, although the personal guard was a little unhappy, but His Highness couldn't help but listen to his words, so he had to take a few people close to him and go to the military camp of the Viton Empire to ask for someone.
That night, the high-ranking generals of the Oskaia Empire and the Viton Empire held military meetings that lasted for several hours.
Of course, the content of the meeting is to discuss the deployment of tomorrow's Tianming Warcraft to attack the Duk Mahon battlefield with a high probability, but the process of the meeting is a bit bumpy.
As the emperor's uncle and the supreme commander on the scene, Asa finally appeased the generals on both sides, otherwise, I am afraid that these people would have a "friendly exchange" on the spot.
Although there were some hiccups, the main task of the meeting was completed, and from the next day, the highest level of security was set on the battlefield of Dukmahon.
Sure enough, as Asa expected, not long after the flying team flew to the other side of the Warcraft Continent as usual in the morning, they were driven back by a group of flying Warcraft.
Fortunately, the speed of the flying machines was not bad, and the level of the flying demonic beasts that pursued them was not high, and after they fled back to the Dukemahon battle line in disarray, the flying demonic beasts that pursued them were dispersed by the magicians guarding the city walls.
"Your Highness! The demonic beasts are gathering on a large scale, and a small number of demonic beasts have already begun to march towards the Duk Mahon front!" "After Ivan got off the aircraft directly, he rushed directly into the command hall, forgetting to even salute.
Hearing Avan's report, Asa's spirits lifted, and the war had finally come.
Gently closing his eyes and relieving his mind, the second emperor's uncle Asa sat down at his desk in the command hall, moved the newly installed microphone to his side, and then solemnly turned on the microphone switch.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention, ladies and gentlemen, please note that the Flying Reconnaissance Team has discovered the traces of the Demonic Beasts, and now they are rushing towards our defensive line, everyone is ready to fight immediately, and no one shall leave the position they are guarding.
This is a race war, the fate of our humanity is in your hands, and the rear of the battle line is the continent of Oskaia, and we have no way back but to defend this front with all our might. ”
Speaking of this, Asa paused for a moment, and then added: "One hundred days, we need to defend for a hundred days, and after a hundred days, you are the heroes of mankind, and I wish you all good luck." ”
This microphone in the command hall was connected to all the loudspeakers, and the entire city wall of the Dukmahon front was nearly 100 kilometers, and a loudspeaker would be installed every few hundred meters, and a loud sound sounded on the city wall, and the already nervous soldiers became even more nervous after hearing Asa's speech.
Where have ordinary soldiers ever seen Warcraft? Before they joined the army, they were just civilians, and they had no chance to contact Warcraft at all.
A few days ago, a few demonic beasts ran over, but when they were too far away, they were blown apart by the "mines" planted, but the huge figure still caused a psychological shadow to many soldiers.
Only those magicians who have been guarding the Duk Mahon defense line all year round don't care much, but they are in good spirits, they will experience a battle with Warcraft once a year, and they have encountered all kinds of situations, although today I heard that there will be a lot of Warcraft attacking, but they have enough confidence.
The source of confidence is those innumerable magic essence, in the past, the magic source essence was so precious, even the magic source cannon had to be carefully calculated to use, now it is good, the magic source essence is no longer calculated by branches, nor by jars, but by jars.
There are several vats of magic essence of various attributes placed in front of each magic source cannon, even if the magic source cannon is broken, it will not be used. Now it's time to consider whether the magic source cannon is damaged because the frequency of firing is too high.
And there is another point, now there is a portal connected to the magic academy on the battlefield of Dukmahon, even if these people really can't hold on, there are still a large number of magicians who will rush from the academy urgently, which is their strongest backing.
The shells of the heavy artillery have been loaded, and the gunners in charge of aiming have been carefully aiming for a long time, and each gun has been divided into a certain attack range, and they do not need to fire at the monster, but only need to be responsible for their own part of the area, so that a covering blow will be formed.
Attacks against a single Warcraft are reserved for those medium guns, as medium guns are much more flexible than heavy guns, and the kind of armor-piercing shells used can deal a lot of damage to Warcraft.
Just when everyone was waiting, excited, scared, or indifferent, countless demonic beasts finally appeared on the low-lying sand in front of the Duk Mahon front.
The terrain here is like a horn, and the strait connecting the Oskaia Continent and the Warcraft Continent is the horn mouth, especially the channel formed by the receding sea water, which is only about three or four kilometers wide.
But as soon as you pass through these three or four kilometers of horn mouths, there is an open space ahead, stretching for nearly 100 kilometers on both sides.
Most of the Warcraft IQ is not high, and if there is no high-level Warcraft command, they will only rush forward in a daze, so the middle of the Duke Mahon battlefield, that is, the place where it is heading towards that passage, is where the battle is most brutal.
Of course, this section of the city wall is also the tallest and most strong, with a height of 100 meters, and most of the magicians and artillery are also concentrated here.
Gradually, the Warcraft is getting closer and closer, and many generals can clearly see the appearance of the Warcraft with the telescopes newly developed by the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
The telescope was not made by Flandee, but he recorded the method of making it in the "Optics" textbook for the Academy of Sciences.
Mechanics, optics, magnetism, heat, and electricity are the textbooks that Flandy has written since the establishment of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
The Academy of Sciences has also divided into several groups to study these major categories of physics, among which the optics group has made amazing telescopes according to the experiments in the textbook.
When the telescope was first made, many people thought it was incredible, and even Senior Barry was shocked when it was pulled in front of him at such a long distance, and after he used it himself, he immediately realized that this telescope was very useful for the army.
So he took this telescope to the military headquarters, and the military department was also very interested in the telescope and commissioned the Academy of Sciences to make a lot.
It's just that this telescope is an experiment recorded in Flandy's "Optics Chapter", and it can't be regarded as an invention of the optics group itself, so it didn't get a large amount of money like the researchers in the third laboratory.
"Boom!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The demonic beasts that had just passed through that passage touched the fuses of the "iron lumps" that had been buried before, and suddenly the earth roared, and the iron lumps were filled with dozens of kilograms of gunpowder, and the huge explosion directly lifted countless demonic beasts into the air.
Not only the power of the explosion, but also the "iron lumps" split into countless small pieces of iron after the explosion, and these small pieces of iron flew away at a very fast speed under the effect of the explosion, and some of the weaker defensive beasts were directly hit by the small pieces of iron that splashed out.
It's just a pity that these first demonic beasts are some low-level demonic beasts, which belong to the existence of cannon fodder, and those "iron bumps" buried in the ground are a bit overkill to deal with them.
