Chapter 365: The Line of Defense
readx;? The invasion of the demons came suddenly, without warning, and unlike the tentative nature of the last time, this time it was a great army as soon as it began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But this time, the situation on the main plane is completely different.
On the western side of the Red Sea, no longer divided into three countries, a single religious state was formed, and the Church concentrated all its resources in its own hands.
Without the covenant of the nobility, the Church grew rapidly.
But all those who have some talent have been pulled into the camp of the church, or become Templars, or become priests, after several years of development, compared with the time of the separation of the Three Kingdoms, the overall strength of the western side of the Red Sea is actually a few points stronger.
Of course, there is no comparison with the time of God's angel, who can be the whole church by God's angel alone.
The strength of the eastern side of the Red Sea has weakened a lot, although it has also changed from avoiding the situation of separation to being controlled by the New Magic Council, but the departure of the legendary magician has greatly reduced the strength of the eastern side of the Red Sea.
Although Mel's gunpowder and gunpowder weapons added a lot of strength and allowed ordinary people to go to war, there was still a lack of high-level combat power.
Below the legend and the legend, there are two levels of perfection.
Armies of demons have appeared everywhere.
The first batch is low-level demons, which are used by demons to tempt.
In the face of these demons, the Church easily took them down, and the eastern side of the Red Sea, with the help of gunpowder weapons, easily repelled the enemy's attack.
In the second batch, the demons sent out assassin-type demons.
In the face of these strange assassins, although the strength of the assassins is not very strong, it is difficult to guard against when they first come into contact, causing a lot of losses to both the church and the magicians.
Many priests and magicians have died under the attack of demons, although these assassins have not been spared.
However, for demons, this kind of low-level demons are worthless, and there are infinite numbers, and being able to use some low-level demons to make progress in the war is already a very good result.
The church and the magicians knew this, too, and their hearts became heavy.
But the church and the magicians are not without countermeasures.
Soon, some different magic arrays were depicted, which were perceptual types of magic arrays that could feel the breath of demons, so as to detect the traces of demons early and kill them.
In the third group, the demons began their official attack.
Infantry, cavalry, air force, three-pronged.
In the face of infantry, the church's response is the army left over from the previous three countries, which is not as strong as the other party, but with the aura effect of the priest, it is not necessarily impossible to fight.
In the face of the cavalry, the Church used the Templars, and the cavalry of the demons was between five and fifty.
In the face of the air soldiers, the church did not have many means to deal with it, and could only attack with bows and arrows, but the attack range of bows and arrows was extremely limited, and the lethality was also limited.
Only the senior priests and bishops in the church can compete.
All of a sudden, the church was at a disadvantage in this war.
Soon, however, with the help of the priest, the infantry and cavalry gained an advantage, which later spread to the air force, and the church once again withstood the demons' onslaught.
Compared to the church, mages have much easier time dealing with this level of demonic attack.
The musket easily inflicted heavy blows on the demon's infantry.
The artillery made it impossible for the demons' cavalry to get close, and it was already blown away before charging halfway.
As for the air soldiers, the magicians' response is even simpler, the electric elemental stone, plus the bow and arrow, once hit, the electric elemental stone will explode on the enemy.
Even if it misses, it will explode after reaching a certain height, and the explosion will cause the electric energy of the Elemental Stone to burst out, and the lightning will attack the nearest enemy.
Relying on this method, the demon air soldiers did not have much spare energy to help the demons on the ground.
On the contrary, these demonic air soldiers kept falling down, smashing their own demons to death.
In the confrontation of medium armies, the eastern side of the Red Sea achieved absolute superiority.
But with the addition of high-level demons, the magicians are a little unable to deal with them, high-level demons, only high-level magicians can deal with them, and artillery, and only the latest ones made by Mair can cause damage to them.
On the other hand, on the church side, after the high-ranking priests joined the war, the church side had the advantage.
But overall, the war between the main plane and the demons maintains a relative balance.
On the eastern side of the Red Sea, the demons occupy almost half of the territory, but thanks to steam trains and railroad tracks, the people of the occupied areas can be quickly moved to safety.
On the western side of the Red Sea, demons occupy only about a third of the area.
But the demons have caused more casualties on the western side of the Red Sea than on the eastern side of the Red Sea.
Because the church and the magicians have different fighting methods, the church is a head-to-head confrontation with the demons, hand-to-hand combat, and the slightest carelessness is life-threatening.
And once an area is occupied by demons, there are very few people there who can escape.
Magicians rely more on magic and alchemy weapons for long-range attacks, and if they can repel the attacks of demons, then hold on, and if they can't resist it, they will lead the people to retreat.
Before retreating, there will be a magic array, alchemy explosives to block the demons.
At first, the demons did not know the power of the bomb and suffered a lot of losses, but then they gradually became careful, but this delayed the retreat of the people a lot.
Maier had a vision.
The power generation facilities on the eastern side of the Red Sea are abundant, and in addition to the daily electricity consumption, there is a lot of electricity leftover, which was previously made into the Elemental Stone.
But now, Maier wants to use this power to create a line of defense.
There is a large mountain range between the demon occupation area and the safe area, and there are countless demonic beasts and dangerous mountains in the mountain range, even the demons don't want to provoke easily.
The entire mountain range is undulating, with only a small flat area in between.
If demons want to enter the safe zone, this flat area is the only way to go.
Maier wanted to build an electromagnetic tower on this stretch of the road.
Pure metal electromagnetic towers, towering into the sky, towers have a lot of spikes, and then connect power to these towers, only when a foreign object approaches, the power on the tower will turn into lightning and attack.
Ordinary creatures will be reduced to ashes with a single blow.
Almost all the alchemists joined in, and tens of kilometers of defense were quickly established, starting with just one row of electromagnetic towers, and later increasing to a full five.
Densely packed, standing on this plain.
And under the tower, there are the corpses of countless demons. (To be continued.) )
