Chapter 137: Artillery, Explosives (Ask for Recommendation Tickets, Ask for Monthly Tickets)
Both sides are aware of the oddities of this war, but the human side still can't make up their minds.
By the early hours of the morning, the orc legion had been defeated, and then a group of harpies had appeared.
This large group of eagles, carrying fire oil, poured towards the inner gate of Melbe City, igniting a fire.
The human coalition was exhausted, but the Ottoman Thunderhawk cavalry quickly slaughtered the group of harpies.
Harpies are weak and almost useless except for being able to fly.
The fire was so great that the orcs launched an attack at this time, as if they wanted to break through the gates in this way.
The reddest was stopped by the heroic soldiers.
The human side is enjoying the joy of victory in the war, but the orcs still have no intention of retreating.
At noon on the third day, a large wave of orcs appeared from near a city near the Great Wall in the territory of the Lacey Empire, slaughtering all the humans inside.
When the battle angel Joseph and the beastmaster Kubo were inseparable, the orc army slaughtered the city of Melbe from the direction of the Lacey Empire.
Most of the coalition forces were actually camped outside Melbe City, after all, there were so many people, and there were not so many places to make unified arrangements.
As a result, the orcs fought directly against the coalition forces.
These people have long been physically and mentally exhausted after the continuous tossing and turning of the night.
Originally, it was the safest place in the rear, and there was no high vigilance.
It wasn't until the other party touched the camp that he found out.
The flames were blazing, and there was carnage and blood everywhere.
Max and the others have long since evacuated, and this information is all obtained by special intelligence officers.
What is now certain is that the Battle Angel Joseph was defeated by Kupper and was repulsed, and the human coalition retreated on a large scale, garrisoning the city of Duolun in the Ryth Empire.
The city of Melbe, already occupied by orcs.
The only thing to be thankful for is that almost all the residents in the vicinity have been evacuated, but some have still been killed, and there is no way to do it.
The coalition forces have no plans for the next step yet, and the orcs have not continued to penetrate after attacking the city of Melbe.
According to the intelligence, there is now a steady stream of orcs pouring into the territory of the Reis Empire from the Orc Plains, as if the orcs want to use Melbe City as the basis, send troops to gradually swallow the Reis Empire, and then point their swords at the entire Glorious Southern Continent.
In a few days, the original good form has taken a sharp turn.
Han Dong has always regarded killing Antonio as his goal, and now that he has been "killed", Han Dong's imaginary enemy has been replaced by the unknown Beastmaster Kubo.
He really didn't expect that the so-called battle angel would really lose to a nether creature.
It seems that the water in this magical world is still too deep.
The city of Melbe was captured, and the original trade route was cut off, but fortunately, it was not far from Duolun City, and this business could still be continued.
At the same time, Han Dong needs to ensure that the Carter Kingdom will not be violated.
This is his basic plate, which needs to be protected.
Caterina sent a new and gradual army.
The 1st Artillery Unit of the Carter Kingdom drives the first-generation war artillery vehicle developed by the "Carter 1st Military Magic Locomotive Factory".
The body of this gun carriage is 14 meters long, the barrel caliber is 0.75 meters, and it fires cannonballs, a special magic guide cannonball.
The barrel is also specially processed by the magic array, and the firing relies on the ejection of magic energy.
The effective firing range reached eight kilometers.
This is very far, even if it is converted to the modern era where Han Dong is located, its range is nearly eighty meters.
The rate of fire is very high, and the magic cannonball adopts a new alchemy formula, which, combined with the effect of the magic array, makes it incredibly powerful.
Within thirty meters of the diameter of the explosion center, the defenses of the fifth order and below will be broken in an instant.
Attack damage includes physical damage from shrapnel splashes and energy blast damage.
This gun truck has a feature, that is, when the gun is fired, the sound is very loud, so it is named the "Lightning Strike Generation" gun truck.
An artillery squad in one of the artillery trucks consisted of two drivers and three gunners, in addition to which ammunition trucks followed.
The newly formed artillery team has not been trained for a month, but now it can only be sent to the battlefield to practice on the battlefield.
Speaking of which, this cannonball is quite expensive, and it is not a loss to be able to train when you can fight half-orcs.
Katerina sent all the 300 "Lightning Strike Generation" artillery trucks currently in the queue, and according to the plan, at least 3,000 more will be sent into the battlefield one after another.
Before the army departed, Caterina only said a word to the soldiers.
"We must not allow the invaders to step into our Carter's land and harm my Carter's people!"
On the same day, the Giant Times reported on this discourse as the headline, published it in the newspaper, and publicized it, and everyone was indignant and enthusiastic, and they all chanted the name of Her Majesty Katerina.
This prestige is well earned, even if the original Carter royal family is resurrected, it will not be able to shake Caterina's dominance in the Carter kingdom now.
Katerina worked so hard, and Han Dong couldn't do nothing.
According to speculation, Carter's side should not be the main direction of attack, so at most, it will be harassed by some half-orc legions, similar to the existence of the Thunder Behemoth or the High Priest of the Beast God, and it should not come to find fault.
Then the goal is clear.
As long as it can deal with that large legion.
If Han Dong went in person, there must be no problem.
But he still has to continue his research, and it is impossible to guard the frontier every day, so he needs an army.
The space-time portal created by the key of time and space will selectively block the entry of outside creatures when traversing.
Bugs that are less than five millimeters long, similar to ants, will not be brought in.
And the army that Han Dong wants is to ask for this kind of ant, to be precise, red fire ants.
The red fire ant is an invasive alien species that is highly social.
One litter can reach up to 500,000 individuals.
When stung by a red fire ant, it can be intensely painful, and certain proteins in its venom can cause anaphylactic shock in some people.
They cause great damage to crops, etc., and are a common invasive alien species.
Han Dong is interested in its strong reproductive ability and survivability.
As long as you contract a few dozen queen ants and build a few ant nests on the border, any army is.
Han Dong didn't choose the contract queen ant before, mainly because in fact, ordinary red fire ants are at most comparable to first-order demonic beasts in terms of combat effectiveness, and their individual combat effectiveness is not strong.
And, most importantly, once out of control, Han Dong cannot effectively control it.
Now it was different, he had a majestic, quality spiritual power that had reached the ninth order, and he was not worried at all that the ants under the queen's command would not listen to the command.
In addition, he is also going to give the queen a boost and get one or several enhanced troops.
