Chapter 112: Shield and Spear
For example, the two magic cannons that went wrong were all produced by the second magic artillery factory in the empire, and they were no different from the magic cannons equipped by the Praetorian Legion.
However, the quality of the military magic machinery produced by a large military factory under the military department has always been unstable, and the quality is far inferior to the magic artillery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Even compared to the military magic machinery produced by the Lampari Kingdom itself, it is significantly worse.
In the previous battle with the army of the Lampari Kingdom, General Dardanelle's legion once annihilated a Scout team of the Lampari Kingdom and captured a batch of individual military magic machines from them.
Just use the most common magic repeater to compare, General Dardanelle's legion is equipped with a maximum burst of eighteen magic repeaters, while the Lampari Kingdom is twenty-four, although they only need one magazine, but the resulting reload and firing speed is very different, and it is much worse in terms of power.
At that time, in order to annihilate the scout team of the Lampari Kingdom composed of only twelve soldiers, General Dardanelle's men paid a full eight lives.
You know, at that time, they had an absolute numerical advantage of five times that of the other party.
In addition, just by looking at it with your eyes and touching it with your hands, you can clearly find that the magic repeater of the Lampari Kingdom is obviously more refined than that of the Maro Empire, both in terms of craftsmanship and assembly.
What surprised General Dardanelle even more was that the main body of the Lampari Kingdom's Magic Repeater was obviously made of special steel, and the barrel could remain at an acceptably high temperature after firing continuously for a minute. It is still possible to carry out the launch.
And if you change it to the magic repeater of the Maro Empire. Under such a high-frequency continuous emission. The inside of the barrel is afraid that there will be a slight deformation, which will greatly affect the hit rate and even direct damage.
Speaking of hits, General Dardanelle once personally conducted experiments using the magic repeater of the Lampari Kingdom and the magic repeater equipped by his own legion to shoot continuously at targets at the same distance.
In the end, it was shown that the Lampari Kingdom's magic repeater hit rate and stability surpassed that of the Maro Empire's magic repeater, which was more than twenty percent.
For such a single military magic machine, such a gap is already extremely huge.
After verifying this for yourself. There was almost a moment of despair in General Dardanelle's heart.
When did the magical industry of the Lampari Kingdom become so powerful, surpassing the Maro Empire so obviously?
And as a regimental commander who was on the front line and personally commanded a legion, General Dardanelle undoubtedly felt this situation much more deeply than others.
In the confrontation with the army of the Lampari Kingdom, even if the Maro Empire is outnumbered, it is useless.
Due to the obvious disparity in the magic machinery of the two sides, General Dardanelle will always find it difficult to enter a head-to-head firefight.
Therefore, looking at the troops of the Lampari Kingdom at the foot of the mountain, his heart will only become more uneasy.
With their strength, even if they directly attacked the position they were stationing, they had a great chance of succeeding in one fell swoop, but now they were just guarding below. Apparently preparing for a more prudent approach.
Thinking of this, General Dardanelle frowned. Stuffing the combat readiness table in the arms of the guards, he strode into the improvised barracks behind him.
"General, what's the matter?" Several corps staff officers in the barracks were stunned when they saw General Dardanelles suddenly and hurriedly walk in.
"Are there any new instructions from above?" General Dardanelle asked in a deep voice.
Several staff officers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
General Dardanelle's brow furrowed even tighter, grabbed the magic communication device on the table in the middle of the barracks, and quickly connected the communication with the rear military headquarters.
After a few words of chat, General Dardanelle slapped it angrily and cut off the communication.
Several staff officers next to him were startled and looked at him in amazement.
General Dardanelle, with a gloomy face, paced around the barracks.
He had just made a request to the military department, hoping to send him another batch of backyard supplies to help him defend his position, but the military department said that transportation was inconvenient, and there was no change from the Lampari Kingdom for the time being...... And so on the grounds of rejection.
"Damn, these guys were nice when I was at the front, but now I'm going to push back if I want something!" General Dardanelle scolded viciously, thought for a moment, and pressed the magic communication device again, intending to negotiate directly with the Logistics Department.
However, after slapping it down, it was found that the magic communication device did not respond.
General Dardanelle looked down in amazement, seeing that there was no problem with the display light on the magic communication device, and also emitted the sound of a magic signal, but he said that he could not get through.
"What's the matter, this thing is broken too?" General Dardanelle frowned and patted the magic communication device.
Several staff officers came over to take a look, but they didn't know what was going on, so they had to send someone to call the person in charge of ordnance maintenance.
General Dardanelle waited for a while, and when he saw that he still couldn't figure it out, he simply took out his personal magic call box, intending to contact his acquaintances in the Logistics Department of the Military Department directly.
However, when he opened the communication request, he found that there was no response either.
"What happened all of a sudden?" General Dardanelle was a little strange.
Just as he looked up and saw several technicians from the Legion rushing towards him, ready to arrest them and ask them, a group of people rushed out of the camp in all directions with anxious faces.
Upon questioning, these guys turned out to be in the process of magical communication just now and were preparing to conduct magical communication, but found that they could not be connected.
General Dardanelle's face sank.
This abnormal situation gave him a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, several whistling sounds suddenly came from a distance.
General Dardanelle and the surrounding legionnaires all changed their faces and scattered, each finding cover and hiding.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
A continuous burst of explosions rang out. There was immediately a mess in the camp.
I saw that a guard next to me was also with me. General Dardanelle kicked him in the ass. He roared, "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and give the order to open the shield?"
The guards hurriedly responded, but before he could walk out, a pale cyan light had already risen from the position, turning into a semicircular cover, covering the position.
The mana cannonballs that whistled after that smashed into these pale cyan covers, only bursting ripples on them, but there was no way to land directly in the position like just now.
General Dardanelle breathed a sigh of relief. Got out of hiding.
When receiving this task of guarding the pass, the first thing General Dardanelle asked the military headquarters was a complete set of the latest rock-level magic protection system.
Although it is still a lot worse than the top-level guardian goddess level, a complete set of rock-level magic protection systems developed by the Maro Empire itself is enough to resist the attacks of most of the known military magic machines.
Although the army of the Lampari Kingdom on the opposite side has more firepower than the Maro Empire's side, as long as the system's mana spar reserves are sufficient, then the position is safe.
General Dardanelle could prepare a large number of high-concentration standard magic crystals for this purpose, which was enough to maintain the full opening of this protection system for more than ten hours, which was enough to survive ten consecutive hours of non-stop intensive attacks from the Lampari Kingdom.
However, even if the armament of the Lampari Kingdom was even better than that of the Marlo Empire, it was impossible to maintain a high-density non-stop attack for ten hours.
So General Dardanelle believes that at least this position will be absolutely fine in a short time.
As for longer...... Then it depends on whether the military department can replenish in time.
"Alright. Go and get me in place, ready to fight back!" General Dardanelle roared. Orders were given promptly.
It is obviously not possible to be beaten passively, if you do not counterattack and contain it, let the Lampari Kingdom attack, even if there is a protection system, it is impossible to ensure safety.
However, just as General Dardanelle was instructing several deputies and staff officers to assign the task of attacking, a subordinate in charge of magical space detection raised his head with a frightened face.
"Will ...... Checkmate...... Investigation...... ...... detected There was ......"
"What's there!" General Dardanelle glared at him fiercely.
"Yes...... Ultra-high energy response in ...... Coming from the southwest. ”
"Super high energy reaction?" General Dardanelle was shocked. "How tall?"
"Possibly...... It is possible to exceed the shield limit......"
"Beyond the shield limit?
"It's like, what a joke. ”
"If there's such an exaggerated thing, it must be that you detected that the system was malfunctioning......"
Several staff officers around him immediately reprimanded.
General Dardanelle frowned and waved his hand: "Detect it carefully, and then ...... it after you make sure."
In the middle of speaking, a flash of fire suddenly fell.
"Boom-"
The flames burst out, engulfing the entire Legion headquarters in an instant.
......
About three kilometers away from the position of the Marlo Imperial Legion on the mountain, Count Link, the commander of the Third Legion of the Lampari Kingdom, put down the telescope in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
At the first glance of this pass position carefully arranged by the Maro Empire, he decided that he could not take a strong attack.
Now it seems that the Maro Empire is really well prepared, and it has actually arranged a magic protection system on such a large position.
If you use the normal attack mode, you may not be able to capture the magic cannonballs stored by the legion, and your own casualties will definitely be very heavy.
And now, he only used three medium- and long-range magic missiles developed by the Lampari Kingdom to shatter this magic protection system in one fell swoop, exposing the entire position to artillery fire.
As long as you work harder, it will be no problem to take down this position.
Thinking of this, Count Link's expression perked, he took a step forward, and gave a loud order to the whole legion to the magic phone box in his hand.
"Fire with all your might! Take it before sunset!"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
As if in response to Count Lenk's order, a series of cannon fire roared continuously, shaking the entire mountain range. (To be continued.) )
