Chapter 575: Winning the Acid Mist Canyon (Ask for Recommendation Votes!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
The artillery roared, and the iron cavalry roamed.
The worm demons fell to the ground one by one like wheat that had been cut by a scythe, but they still went on and on.
In the entire Acid Mist Canyon plane, all the worm demons are converging here, and there is no edge in sight.
"The barrel is overheated, and if you continue to fight, you will explode!"
After a dozen rounds of Hellroar firing in a row, many of the Batzu gunners reported that the barrel was overheating.
Among them, some of them are highly skilled and assigned to spare barrels, which are used in rotation to dissipate heat. There are also some technical skills that are not good enough to be replaced by manual projectiles.
By turning the joystick, let the big gear drive the small gear and throw the fused shell. Although the cannonballs fired in this way certainly didn't hit as far as the cannon shot, many of the worm demons had already rushed to the front of the fortress, and there was no need to worry that those shells would be wasted.
In addition to the problems on the artillery position, after several hourglasses in a row, even if it was only "bleeding" the worm demons on the flanks, the physical strength of those alien mercenaries was close to the limit. If it weren't for a master like Ogre Naru leading them and leading the way, those guys would have fallen into the worm demon heap several times.
"Use the spider web to restrain that berserk war demon," the ogre Blue stood on top of a steam tank, he commanded the actions of dozens of orc wolf cavalry as he watched for his brother, "Don't let it get close, that demon stinks!"
After receiving the order, the wolf cavalry of the orc Fezak family ran out. Each of them held a staff with a forked tip, and with a slight flick it could throw out a cobweb woven by spells. Running near the Berserker, they all started to move, and a dozen cobwebs wrapped this ugly guy who looked like a toad in one fell swoop.
Although this guy's strength is actually not weak, more than a dozen cobwebs are entangled together, and he can only struggle in vain and cannot move at all. After completing the task, the orc wolf cavalry was not long in coming, and they immediately turned around and ran back to their main formation.
As for how to deal with the immobile berserker demons, it is natural to leave it to the worm demons themselves. Because he was in the way of the other worm demons, the guy was quickly brutally killed by the same kind of people who rushed up from behind.
"It's cruel and ruthless, worthy of a demon, hahaha," Blue sneered at the sight of the mad demon's fate. He'd used this method to make the worm demons kill each other many times. Moreover, the cannibalism of those guys also left time for the team of Xenoplane mercenaries to adjust, just in time to avoid the path of the Worm Demon frontal charge.
As he spoke, Ogre Bru twisted the turret of the steam tank towards the Worm Demon - the vehicle was piloted by a group of gray dwarves who had just adjusted the pressure of the steam accumulator - the crossbow mounted on the turret could be wound automatically by the steam, and all Blue had to do was aim at the target and press the airlock for firing.
"Whoosh" ......
The arrows formed a barrage and shot at the group of worm demons who were charging down. Each arrow contains explosives and a small amount of silver dust, and when they hit their target, they explode and disperse that small amount of silver dust. Although there was not too much silver powder in each of the explosive arrows, as the saying goes, "gathering sand into a tower accumulates a lot", when all the more than 300 arrows in this round were launched, a "mist area" composed of silver powder appeared on the way of the worm demon's charge.
For nether creatures, silver weapons will have some damage bonus most of the time. Just don't use it as a weapon to slash demons, and in terms of effect, it's definitely not as damaging the damage to demons as if you spill silver powder. Because as long as it attaches itself to the demon, or even is sucked into the lungs, the silver powder will continue to work.
A large number of worm demons crashed headlong into the "haze zone", first their skin felt a tingling pain, and then they inhaled the air with silver powder, and their internal organs began to feel like they were bitten by poisonous insects. The worm demons clutched at their throats and coughed incessantly. Because they slowed down the charge of the same kind behind them, they were slaughtered by the other worm demons.
The Alien Mercenary Legion took advantage of this opportunity to quickly retreat to a temporary fortress built by the devil nearby. These mortal mercenaries from the Alien Plane will rest there for a short time before moving to another bastion. Just like the "Jumping Frog Tactics", they rely on these bastions as a foothold, constantly interspersed with the flanks of the worm demons.
Of course, not all of the Xotope mercenaries stay on the same team - that would be a bit too numerous and easy to fall behind - they are divided into three groups, led by the three ogre brothers, the half-lich Sneid, and the paladin Jensen, constantly eating away at the worm demon, making it "bleed" as it charges.
Depending on the commander's abilities, the three teams use different tactics: the three ogre brothers use the "Jumping Frog Tactic", the half-lich Snead naturally "fights to feed the war", relying on the blessing of the Mither Core, all the worm demons that fall in front of him will turn into undead to serve him, and Jensen leads the heterotopic mercenaries who have converted to the way of the Paladin, and drives straight into the Worm Demon Legion, specially selecting those powerful worm demons to carry out "decapitation operations".
Although the tactics used were different, they all completed their tasks relatively well. In addition, with the Batzu Devil as an "anvil" to resist the frontal attack of the Worm Demon, the Worm Demon of the entire Acid Mist Canyon attacked for a whole half a day, and did not even break through the front of less than one-ten-thousandth of the number of defenders. Hemtal, who was in a decisive battle with Quest in the enchantment, was stunned that he had lost his home advantage on his home turf and was not able to get any chance to replenish his strength.
Of course, as time went on, the Bartow Expeditionary Legion's Hellroar cannonballs ran out, and the Devil Guards had to engage the Worm Demons in close combat. And those heterotopic mercenaries are also due to physical exhaustion, and some people are gradually falling behind, and the number of personnel has been reduced by nearly one-third, which is close to the limit of what they can bear.
