Chapter 1568: A Surprising Outpost
If it were an ordinary army, the moment they saw the Abyss Lord, they would have collapsed and fled. However, the army commanded by Ricardo Kavi, the former Grand Duke and a man known as the Empire's god of war, even though it was not a regular Imperial legion, still held out under such pressure.
There is no such thing as an aura of war, and morale is not a concept that can be easily quantified.
The bonuses that magic can bring can't break through the gap. Even the officers, including the officers and soldiers, can ask themselves why they can stand still and not flee in the face of an imminent battle that they know will die.
But they just persevered, in front of an abyssal lord who was equivalent to a god. However, the two-wolf-headed Wolfram did not rely on his strength, and rode into the enemy line alone to carry out a massacre.
In normal times, the control of its body is controlled by the normal wolf head. He prides himself on being a commander and a wise man, and he doesn't like that kind of reckless tactics.
As for the mad wolf head, it is rare to gain dominance. But every time the madman dominates, the picture always becomes very miserable, and the enemy has no chance to regret it at all.
And this kind of battle between tens of thousands and tens of thousands in front of him is one of Wolfram's favorite scenes.
He is the side with the most numbers, and he also surrounds the enemy. With such an advantage and a beautiful victory, the fun is not enough for outsiders.
Although it is not evenly matched, it is refreshing to win with wisdom. But as long as you win beautifully, the mood is always good.
In particular, it has a giant-level body, and the tallest and strongest big demon is at its feet, which is only up to the ankle.
This height allows it to easily overlook the entire battle, and no change can escape its eyes.
Combined with the whispers that the demon uses to deceive people, his orders can be sent directly down to the level of the soldier, and everyone will act according to his wishes.
This ability to command war, in the words of a certain crosser, is no different from opening a hanging. With such an advantage, it is certainly impossible for Wolfram not to use it.
In his opinion, whether it is the enemy in front of him or the army around him, who is the enemy of his blow.
It is already the greatest mercy that he does not end up in person. Whether or not the human side feels such 'fairness', Wolfram does not know.
Even if you know, you probably don't care. He only glanced at the situation of this predetermined battlefield, and then commanded his army to attack.
For a time, all the armies surrounding the network moved at the same time. Originally, they all stayed outside the range of long-range attacks from friends and enemies, but now they walked in a queue and directly entered this dangerous range.
The melee team didn't stop, they didn't charge, they just walked steadily. This is not the distance at which you can charge, and to do it too early is just a useless waste of energy.
The ranged team starts firing as soon as the enemy front is in their range. It's not just the archers in the orc army who bend their bows and throw.
Even the gray dwarf, when he got close to a certain distance, took out the crossbow on his back, and reloaded, shot, and moved forward.
This undoubtedly makes them move forward more slowly with short legs. Of course, the army on the human side is not idle, and it is used as a target for others to shoot in vain.
The archers on the human side, both in terms of the quality of the longbow and the quality of the archers, are superior to the orcs side, and the range is the same.
So they started shooting long ago when the orcs were still advancing. Clusters of arrows made of stainless steel effortlessly shot into the rudimentary armament of the orcs.
In particular, the method of projectile is also used to greatly increase the range of the arrow, and the power is not weakened much. If this arrow hits the head or body, there is a good chance of hitting a one-hit kill.
Even if the fallen orcs don't die on the spot, they won't be able to participate in the next battle. If it hits the hands and feet, even if it doesn't directly deprive the orcs of their combat ability.
In the next battle, such an opponent is also very easy to deal with. The direction of the gray dwarf's concentrated attack is also the part that the old Kavi Gong personally commands, and there is no such small fight with a crossbow and crossbow shooting scene.
The gray dwarf raised his crossbow and moved forward step by step. The crossbow machines they made, with the technology of the dwarves, were quite powerful and ranged.
But I can't stand the direct war weapon on the other side! What about the heavy armament of the whole body plate armor level, the spear-like crossbow arrows are shot from the siege crossbow, and three or five dwarves can be strung without breathing in one breath.
Not to mention the stone projectiles of catapults. If these large stones were placed on the ground, they would not pose a threat to the gray dwarves at all.
Whether it's smashed or moved, it all depends on the mood. But if you fall from the sky, it's a different story.
No gray dwarf had dared to pat his chest to guarantee that he would be able to catch the stone projectiles thrown by the catapult.
Usually the first one smashed will turn into a meat sauce. When the stone bullet rolls on the ground, it is simply injured if you hold on to it, and you die if you touch it.
No matter how strong the gray dwarf is, he is blind when he encounters siege-level weapons. However, how could old Kavi Gong only carry this traditional weapon by his side.
As one of the three elders of the automobile center, I don't mind revealing the design and manufacturing technology of automobiles, but for those who have firmly grasped the oil refining method in their hands, incendiary throwing weapons are indispensable.
The weapon, named the oil bomb, is a by-product of the refining of gasoline. The heavy oil that is not used in the car engine refers to the past fire oil recipe and finds a deadly combination that can be attached to the human body and burned.
These fire oil bombs are equipped with a fuse that causes them to explode over enemies and burn up when thrown, dealing area damage.
The attached oil and burning flames will penetrate through the cracks, bringing unimaginable burning and high temperatures, and even igniting the attached objects.
The heavy armor of the gray dwarves did not bring any sense of security and protection at such times, but instead acted like a life-threatening equipment.
Allowing the flames and oil to penetrate the cracks in the armor could not even be stopped. Even if you want to untie your armor, it's too late.
For forging, all dwarves have heat-resistant and fire-resistant properties. But that doesn't mean they can't be burned without leaving any damage, or even dead, and the flames can still cause fatal damage to them.
This is especially true if you can't extinguish the flames no matter how you deal with them, and you will continue to burn and increase the extent of the burn.
Once the gray dwarf is in the center of the attack of the fire oil bomb and is poured with oil, it is estimated that he will not survive.
Even if it is only affected, it can easily spread to the whole body and kill the same people. It's just a matter of luck that the burned armor can be untied before it spreads, thrown off to the ground, and hopefully a life can be saved.
But the burned part can only be cured slowly. The oil bomb in the field has not yet reached the level of the perversion of a white phosphorus bomb or Greek fire that passes through the hometown, and it is a little more dangerous to die than a gasoline bomb.
But at this level, in this era of cold weapons, it is still a rather terrifying weapon.
The only good thing for the grey dwarves facing these dangerous weapons of war is that they aren't large enough to overwhelm the world.
The most dangerous fire oil bombs also have a limited attack range, and they cannot be used indefinitely. Although those who were directly hit ended up very miserable, they had to be very unlucky to be picked by such a coincidence.
Most of the gray dwarves were still striding forward, shooting at their enemies while betting that the bad attacks wouldn't berain them.
Old Kavi Gong watched the gray dwarf walk with great confidence, and couldn't figure out whether they really ignored the miserable situation of their companions, or were whipped by the Abyss Lord behind him.
Siege-level weapons are used at such times, and it is impossible to ask for much lethality, and the focus is still on the blow to morale.
But if the enemy can really ignore the howls of his comrades and his morale will not waver in any way, then there is little benefit in continuing to shoot.
But it can't stop there. Doing so will demoralize the enemy, who will think that we are no longer able to succeed.
In fact, the best weapon for the enemy's dense queue is the multi-barrel minigun equipped on the Twin Griffin.
But there was an Abyss Venerable watching from the side, and the old Kavi Gong had a lot of concerns about whether or not to give such an order to the Twin Griffins.
Maybe he won't escape in an airship, but the doctors who followed his granddaughter are still in the center behind him, protected by layers.
As for their plan to retreat by airship, it was prepared from the beginning. Therefore, the old Kawei Gong did not dare to rashly ruin his granddaughter's life on his own risk.
Of course, there was no way that Ezio's boy would have agreed to such a thing as running away with someone. But he will not object to giving up the airship to those who need to leave, and then come to the ground to fight.
Thinking of this, the old man also regretted a little, he should have stuffed the group of people in the hospital into the airship earlier.
You don't have to run on your legs, but you can also run more secretly when you want to run. Unlike now, if you want your granddaughter to leave in an airship, you have to have an airship land to pick up people before you can leave.
It's just that the airship is the size of an airship, and the action of landing to pick up people is too obvious. If there is a thought in the hearts of the soldiers that someone is ready to escape in an airship, even if the soldiers around them are also from the Gwana Empire, it is estimated that the morale will collapse.
And as soon as this kind of thing happens, it is difficult to clean up. The consequences, of course, are unimaginable. But it's not all out of the way.
For some reason, the Maharaja didn't personally participate in the war! It was only the mortals of his men who were killed.
Even the demons around him didn't move. Although this distance is a matter of a few steps for an Abyss Lord.
Once the other party launches, I'm afraid that a single thought can kill him. But as long as you haven't reached that point, you have to do the best of what is in front of you.
Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, not for those who give up. Even if there is an existence on the battlefield that he can't match, it doesn't mean that he can't beat his minions!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable! Old Kaveh's heart was crossed, his eyes were sharp, and he raised his right hand and gave a signal.
The defensive queue suddenly gave way to several large gaps, and from the center of the car, special custom cars made of all magical materials lined up in front of the formation.
The gray dwarf's powerful crossbow arrow missed the top and bounced off directly, leaving not even a mark. And the roaring engine sounded like the roar of these man-made beasts.
Low and bloodthirsty!
