Chapter 103: A Strange Magical Locomotive

Gerald didn't know that Narorov had encountered such a dangerous situation, but when he saw from a distance that more than a dozen large freight magic locomotives were suddenly blown up into the sky in the assault team on the right flank of the Red Sun Legion, and the soldiers of the Red Sun Legion on the cars were flying like straws, he immediately understood in his heart that something was extremely bad.

The guys in the Ruerson Kingdom didn't just stay where they were and wait for them to attack, but they had already laid traps around them, waiting for them to rush over and die.

Gerald glanced at the Ruerson Kingdom army, which had come closer, and a trace of hesitation passed through his heart.

Since the enemy has set traps on both sides of him, it is very likely that the front has also laid traps, and if he continues to lead the Golden Eagle Knights to rush forward like this, he will step directly into it.

However, after Gerald visually measured the distance between him and the army of the Ruerson Kingdom, the vigilance in his heart turned into helplessness.

Although they had advanced a considerable distance in the past few minutes, they still did not reach the effective attack range of his mana artillery.

If you stay here for fear of traps, then you will only be bombarded in vain by the army of the Ruerson Kingdom using their magic artillery.

Retreat is even more undesirable, because the previous losses are meaningless, and the retreat process can only be passively beaten.

If the army of the Kingdom of Ruersun pursues again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After thinking about this, Gerald felt nothing but great pain in his heart.

Just because the magic artillery equipped by the army of the Ruerson Kingdom had a range of about a kilometer longer than the magic artillery he had, he was forced to find himself in such a dilemma.

It is impossible to retreat back. Of course, it is impossible to stop, but if you move forward, you may step on a trap.

"Damn, it would be nice if the magic artillery developed by those guys from the military department could have such a long range......

Gerald cursed under his breath. Shaking his head vigorously, he pulled the magician in charge of the herald next to him again, asking him to simply keep an amplification magic directly in front of him.

"Brothers, follow me!"

After yelling, Gerald slapped the driver next to him on the shoulder and motioned for him to speed up.

At this time, he suddenly regretted why he didn't bring his beloved war horse with him, so that he could lead the charge as usual. You can also greatly boost the morale of your subordinates.

However, he also knew very well that if he was riding a war horse, he would only hear the sound of magic artillery. It is enough to scare the war horse into weakness, and it can't form combat power at all.

What's more, the power of the magic cannonball falling is extremely powerful, and any one explosion will make a radius of more than ten meters unrecognizable.

He used to be dressed in shining silver armor. Riding a horse, you can travel back and forth in the rain of enemy arrows without hindrance. But in the face of such a terrible attack of magic cannonballs, if he dared to ride a horse into battle, any magic cannonball that landed next to him would leave him dead.

After all, since the new flyers will come out with these military magic machines, the traditional modes of warfare have been completely eliminated.

Gerald, one of the new generals, knew this very well.

Therefore, although he was extremely reluctant, he still resolutely and resolutely promoted the deployment of military magic machinery in the Golden Eagle Knights in the past few years, and worked hard to learn and train new combat modes that cooperate with various military magic machines. I just want to be able to keep up with the rapidly changing situation.

But now that he was actually on the battlefield, he found that he was still extremely powerless.

The army of the Ruerson Kingdom on the other side has not been directly handed over at all so far. However, with a range that outgrew their own magic artillery, the enemy had already inflicted thousands of casualties on the Golden Eagle Knights.

But he still had no choice but to continue to lead the soldiers forward with his head down.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Another round of magic cannonballs fell, and there was chaos in the Golden Eagle Knights.

A magic cannonball landed right on the side of the large freight magic locomotive that Gerald was riding, and the huge shock wave caused the body of the large freight magic locomotive to even roll sideways, making people feel like they were almost going to flip over.

Fortunately, it eventually returned to normal and continued to rush forward.

Three to two kilometers is only a distance of one kilometer, not to mention the large freight magic locomotive, which normally only takes one or two minutes to reach, and even if you run on both feet, it only takes three or four minutes.

However, such a short distance was as difficult for the Golden Eagle Knights as a moat.

With almost every step forward, a magic cannonball fell, taking away a large number of soldiers within the Golden Eagle Knights.

And the Chiyang Legion, which outflanked on both flanks, was also not having a good time.

The army of the Ruerson Kingdom did not know how many traps had been laid on the side, but in short, the large freight magic locomotive belonging to the two detachments of the Red Sun Legion would cause a continuous explosion while moving forward at high speed.

A large freight magic locomotive was directly blown over or even blown away, and a soldier named the Red Sun Legion was killed in the explosion.

What's more, since the first encounter with the trap, the Red Sun Legion has lost the command of its commander Narorov.

Although the deputy commander took over the command in time, he didn't have any good way, seeing that the Golden Eagle Knights who broke through in the middle were still desperately rushing forward, he could only cooperate with Gerald and continue to charge forward with the order of his subordinates.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

The sound of explosions kept coming from the front and the wings, and Fenrir, the commander of the Northern Legion of the Ruerson Kingdom, raised his binoculars to observe the situation, although the expression on his face was serious, but there was already a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Captain Fario, it looks like these Candelas can't play any tricks anymore. ”

Fario, the elf captain of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team, who was standing with him at the top of a large cargo magic locomotive and observing the situation ahead, did not echo this sentence, but stared intently for a while. He said to Fenrir: "They are about to enter their effective attack range, Captain Fenrir, you can start the second step of the battle plan." ”

"Good. Fenrir chuckled and nodded. He bent down and gave a few words to the herald waiting below.

A moment later, the Northern Legion's magic artillery brigade, which had completed a salvo again, all put away their batteries, connected to the magic tractors, and began to retreat in unison.

"Captain Fario, I'll leave it to you. Fenrir grabbed Fario's hands and shook them solemnly. "How the fate of our Ruerson Kingdom is decided depends on the outcome of this battle. ”

Fario was a little uncomfortable with Fenrir's sudden intimacy. and his solemn tone.

However, after a long time in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he has become more or less accustomed to the human way of doing things, and he smiled when he heard this. Nodding his head, he said, "Don't worry, we'll buy you enough time." ”

"Good. ”

Fenrir nodded vigorously.

Fario then jumped off the large cargo magic locomotive, and then the surrounding Northern Legion soldiers jumped into all kinds of large cargo magic locomotives and magic armored vehicles, and retreated like a tide.

Fario turned to glance at the Candela Imperial army that was approaching, so much so that his eyesight could even see their faces clearly. Take two quick steps. Slipped into a strange magical locomotive next to it.

Gerald was stunned and looked at the retreating Ruerson Kingdom army in the distance, and his heart was puzzled.

Although they are about to enter their effective attack range, those guys in the Ruerson Kingdom will not be so afraid that they will turn around and flee, right?

Don't they know that this is tantamount to exposing his entire back, so that he can chase after him as much as he wants, and hold the revenge just now?

"Get on me! Don't let them run!"

Gerald couldn't think of why for a moment, but according to the most basic judgment, he waved his arm vigorously and gave the order to pursue.

However, the retreat of the army of the Kingdom of Ruerson was clearly premeditated. The whole process was extremely smooth and fast, and before he could really close the distance between the two sides to an effective distance that could attack. The other party had already withdrawn, and only a thin-looking team was left alone on the grassland in the distance.

Gerald grabbed the binoculars in wonder, and as far as he could see, he saw that the team left in the distance was not a large freight magic locomotive team, nor a magic armored car team, not a magic artillery team that would only be left alone if it was extremely stupid, but a team composed of square-looking, flat-looking and spitting out a thick steel pipe in front of them, with an extremely hideous and strange appearance, how awkward to look at it, it seemed to be composed of some kind of magic locomotive-like thing.

"The gods are above, what the hell is this?"

Looking at this strange thing, which was about a hundred or so, Gerald had a bad premonition in his heart.

He hadn't forgotten that among the enemy flags he had just seen, there was the banner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And in this strange team that remained, the flag of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was flying.

"Damn, no matter how weird it is, it's just a little bit, I'm afraid they won't make it. Gerald waved his hand irritably, and continued to order his men to rush over.

After the outflanked troops of the Ruerson Kingdom retreated, the Red Sun Legion no longer continued to be affected by the explosion of the trap on the ground, and was finally able to reform two complete formations.

However, they did not pay attention to the strange team that remained, and pursued them in the direction of the retreat of the army of the Kingdom of Ruersun.

But they didn't bother with the weird team, but the other party took the initiative to find it.

The team suddenly split into two, divided into two groups of strange magic locomotives of about fifty taels each, and greeted the two wings of the Red Sun Legion.

Gerald was taken aback.

Although the firepower of the Red Sun Legion was not as good as that of their Golden Eagle Knights, it was not weak at all.

How could this group of guys, who should be part of the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, be so stupid and dare to go to war head-on with such a small number of people?

Although the Red Sun Legion lost its supreme command due to Narorov's coma, it was still able to hold together under the leadership of the deputy commander.

At this time, seeing that the enemy was so inconsiderate of their strength, they unceremoniously launched a direct attack.

"Boom, boom—"

From the beginning of the war to the present, the magic artillery belonging to the Candela Empire has finally let out a roar for the first time.

Several fiery red rays of light shot out from the Red Sun Legion's formation, flying directly towards the two separate teams that rushed over.

However, compared to the magic artillery of the army of the Ruerson Kingdom, the hit rate of these magic artillery of the Red Sun Legion is a bit miserable.

More than half of the more than fifty magic shells that were fired in one breath were far away, and they did not pose any threat to the enemy at all.

Although the remaining half fell into the enemy's ranks, few of them actually hit.

What landed near those weird magic locomotives only blew up the dirt on the grassland, and it didn't affect those weird magic locomotives in the slightest, and they couldn't even shake them.

And the few magic cannonballs that happened to land at very close range on those strange magic locomotives, and even the few magic cannonballs that fell directly on them, also had no effect.

Under the stunned gaze of all the Candela Imperial soldiers, a pale cyan halo appeared on the bodies of those strange-looking magical locomotives.

The massive shockwave of the mana cannonball exploded and hit the halo, and it was blocked by all of them, not even the dirt that blew up could penetrate the halo.

While the Candela Imperial soldiers were still surprised by the facts that had taken place in front of them, the thick steel pipes in front of those strange magic locomotives that looked very incongruous suddenly flashed with a little red light, and in an instant, they had condensed into several thick fiery red rays of light, erupting from inside.

"Boom-" (To be continued......)
