The sound of heavy shelling made Hermione come back from her meditation and look at the approximate time, which should be the opposite side of the clock-in to work.

The attack came at nine o'clock in the morning, and everyone was ready to defend, and the sound of artillery was very chaotic, and the accuracy was a little poor.

Hermione, in order to get her condition in order, went to the roof of the building above and looked out to the west, where the old steam battleship was parked at a fixed distance.

The light of the fire flashed like a lightning spark, and most of the whistling cannonballs fell into the sea in front of the shore.

A few small ones were thrown into the city on the shore, and only a few sparks exploded.

After a few rounds of bombardment, Hermione saw more and more sailboats gathered there, and the number of small shells being thrown gradually increased.

The exploding sparks ignited a puff of green smoke that accumulated in the areas along the shore, and a few could even fall into the city. Those gases are highly corrosive.

'Gas bombs? Sure enough, you can do anything! ’

A fierce storm blew from the city to the fleet of steam warships on the sea, and carried away all the poisonous smoke with it.

A large flame ignited to disperse the smoke storm, and after testing that the gas bomb was useless, the opponent stopped the attack of the small cannonball.

The sailboat remained out of a certain range, and the island's artillery did not attack, and Hermione, who had watched for a while, returned below.

This should be the daily routine here, testing each other, and when the logistics don't allow it, it should be the time for a decisive battle.

There were very few people below, most of them had their own things to do, and Hermione, the idle person, sat directly on the chair in the courtyard, so as not to have any misunderstanding.

After the first half of the day without incident, she got up and went to Bruno Bastian and Cordez to talk about the extinct volcano on the back island.

It's better to collect things first, and maybe some other materials, such as vanished tree people, may still exist in these forests.

Unlike the Northern Continent, which has been controlled by the Church Organization, the primitive worship in the Southern Continent is often able to preserve many ancient things.

Hermione had seen the surviving xenomorphs in the depths of the West Byron Viava Mountains before, piercing her thorny body and being the same size as the adult xenomorphs she had seen before.

The aborigines who lived there revered Him as if they were gods, offering the blood and flesh of the victorious war.

It's a pity that the other party is not easy to mess with, otherwise I probably wouldn't have had a friendly exchange with him at that time.

That's smart! His name was Veya, and he directly occupied the faith of the indigenous people there.

This return to the Golden Land may pass through again, and then it will be time to see if he is still there after more than a thousand years. I hope I don't get hunted down by the church.

The soldiers in front of the church lined up and set off directly for the port area, and Hermione, who had walked through the gate, looked at it, and it was quite neat.

Although there are several kinds of costumes inside, and the height is not the same, at least the pace is quite neat.

Fortunately, it was not the kind of ancient times that they charged and cut each other, otherwise these miscellaneous armies would not be enough to fight, and with guns and artillery, even a thin child could kill a strong Fusak with a gun.

Bruno, who was sitting at the command post, changed into a neat indigo military uniform and looked very energetic.

After quickly skimming over a few military orders in his hand, and signing a few warrants to the herald, he looked at Hermione, who had come here.

"Your Excellency, is there something going on? The other side may be about to storm us, and according to reliable information, the other side is already gathering a slave army. ”

"Slave Army?"

Hermione gave the question of what year it was, what age was it?

Bruno explained to her that because the Southern Continent was now in a state of war, many outsiders and natives would be captured and deprived of their freedom for various reasons.

Of course, there are many people who have been captured and forced into slavery, and who cares if it's true or not, and if your proof of freedom is true?

In order to regain their freedom, or not to die in the dark mining plantations, some people choose to become mercenaries, the kind of cannon fodder that rushes to the front.

Over time, everyone also gave this kind of army a more fitting name 'slave army'?

They were disorganized when they fought, and the pressure wasn't too great, unless there was a rushing warlord behind them.

Bruno feared that this group of people would desperately rush to shore in the special environment of the sea, which would put a lot of pressure on the already stretched troops.

"These people have been marked by special means, and even if we promise them freedom, it will be against their original contract."

"Let me take a look, if it's really a slave army, I'll help you, and I'm not sure if I can untie it."

"That would be great, with your help, I'm sure there will be a lot less. What's the matter with you? ”

"I'm going to want to go to the back mountain when I see that you're okay, so I'll go later."

"Thank you for your help, we will take it to heart."

After Hermione walked out of the command room, the artillery fire on that side really became fierce, and the originally stagnant fleet began to separate, and the small boats behind began to come towards the island.

Reaching the top of the tower, she watched as the scattered flagships began to fire to correct the trajectory, and the caravels below were already halfway away.

Barrels of different lengths and sizes drilled into the hollows of the gray-black mountain ground and began to counterattack.

Several special sounds were particularly dense, directly tearing apart a few sailing ships that came to the front, and the original crowded ships were only wreckage on the sea.

The huge steam warships that had obtained specific firing points also began to cover with dense firepower, and the projectiles fell densely on the high mountains, and the blasted earth directly buried the gun ports in some depressions.

The sound of the guns that fired back did not fall in the slightest, and from time to time the places on the hull were blown open by shells.

The sailors next to the guns of the main ship were directly torn apart by the explosion, and the flesh and blood were pasted to the barrels next to them, and the maintenance personnel behind them quickly replaced them, and the originally damaged side-sight auxiliary mirror was also quickly replaced.

The blackened muzzles of the guns were firing again, and the caravels ahead had come to the near coast, and only a few were still in good condition.

The man on it, with a ragged shirt, a gun, and a uniform hat, must have been the slave army that Bruno said.

There were also two officers in neat uniforms supervising the battle, constantly shouting and scolding the slave army squatting inside.

A few shells whistled and exploded there, leaving a large hole in the area, and several of the reprimanded slave soldiers dragged their stumps and screamed. The original officers are gone.

Scenes like this were playing out all along the coastline, where the trenches had been covered by naval artillery fire, and the mountains had become the main targets.

The exploding black smoke quickly covered the place, and the light of the fire inside proved that the position was still there.

If there is only one firepower point, it is estimated that it will not be enough to block the sea surface of this port.

Looking at the fleet that was overwhelmed, Hermione felt that there were at least three supporting artillery points here, just as the corners of the fortress could support each other.

The ruins hidden on the opposite side were pulled apart, and the artillery prepared inside began to return fire, and the surrounding soldiers began to organize the camouflaged scene.

Hermione could also be regarded as seeing the two complete A-130 new guns, which were really similar to the modern guns that had just appeared in her time.

Voss had vaguely heard in Pritz say that his uncle's factory had groundbreaking research that would make the war even more brutal.

He sighed a few words and didn't say anything, counting himself as one of them, he scolded himself at the end.

After that, Hermione paid attention to this information, but she didn't expect to see the actual combat here.

After a rapid shelling, the brake reloader allowed the barrel to be restored, and the person behind pulled it open and reloaded.

The large steam warship protruding from the middle of the sea in front of it was instantly destroyed by the guns on one side, forcing it to retreat directly to avoid the constantly correcting trajectory.

The positions in both places were mainly to prevent the approach of large ships, and the caravels had already reached the surface of the coast after passing through the fire net.

In the trenches that connected the shore to the city, the soldiers moved forward in an orderly manner, and the artillery fire covering the coast rarely penetrated it.

The small field cannons hidden in the ruins of the port area were pulled out by the soldiers who came up to remove their camouflage and begin to form support fire points against the coastal enemy.

There were several such makeshift artillery positions, which were densely packed like fishing nets in the area near the coast of the port area. The soldiers below carried boxes of shells out.

The crossfire points on the high mountains and one side suppressed the steam warships in the distance, and the other side considered that the 'slave army' was also about to land on the coast, so they concentrated and extended their artillery fire to suppress the commanding heights of the high mountains.

The new guns of the other position had been pulled away by this time, leaving some camouflage to be there, and in a short time the extended artillery fire of the steam battleships covered the area, and the sea of fire swallowed up the entire area.

'Are these people determined to sweep the fire points on the shore under the suppression of the fortress artillery? ’

The inside of the mountain has been built into a strong underground fortress, so naturally it is not afraid of confronting the other party, and it will be those steam warships that will suffer if it continues in this way.

The side of the battleship in the protrusion was already scarred, and black smoke was already rising from the gun mounts of the main ship.

"Demigods?"

Hermione, who was on the top of the building, noticed the unparalleled courage of the orderly soldiers, and continued to repair and fight back on it.

She saw a red dot of light, and inside the protruding steam battleship, was the Predator Knight?

What's going on? The other party is the combined fleet of Intis and Fenerport, and it may be a demigod of his own family.

Let's take a look at how the people on the island respond to the next impact.

The shore was already covered with black smoke as the concave arc of the crescent, and after the caravels ran aground, some people jumped down with guns.

There were no bullets or artillery fire coming from the shore to meet them, and more and more people fell here, looking ahead with guns in fear.

The caravels were piled up in the same arc as the shoreline, and there were many scattered 'slave troops' standing beside them. ’

The uniformed Overseers began to drive them forward, shells whizzing across the trenches in front of them.

The more this happened, the more frightened they became, and it was terrifyingly quiet to be surrounded by the sound of shelling.

"For the sake of freedom, your own opportunities are ahead."

The uniformed soldiers shouted to drive the disheveled men towards the shore line, and the 'slave army' could only push forward with all their might, hoping to run into the trenches when no shots were fired.

The land on the shore is full of potholes, and the artillery cover has already plowed the ground here, and there are not many mines left.

The well-dressed soldiers followed, waiting for the cannon fodder to clear their way and clear a safe place, as long as they didn't go through the untouched area.

The people in front prayed to the god they believed in, hoping that the place where the sound would not be heard was their own. There were lucky and unfortunate ones, and the exploding flesh and blood stumps flew in all directions.

The person who was stained with flesh and blood was frightened and ran back directly, and his teammates, who were still alive in front just now, disappeared here in an instant.

The soldier who supervised the battle ended his life with a direct shot, ignoring the man who had fallen on the shore and continued to drive the people in front.

From time to time, the remaining mines exploded, and the trenches in front got closer. The Combine soldiers behind noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly let them lie down.

The small field artillery in the port area got the signal to start shelling, and the Konott army under the trench directly raised their guns, and the intensive artillery fire and bullets swept away the 'slave army' not far away.

After a round of field artillery was quickly transferred, the Konath garrison carried the cannon directly onto the improvised assembled improvised track and pulled it away.

Artillery support from the sea followed, and several of the original artillery support positions were destroyed. The artillery, which was too late to be transported, was simply abandoned and turned into fragments.

On the shore in front of the trenches, the Coalition soldiers directly directed the slave army to build an offensive fulcrum using the corpses of their companions and the terrain.

If you don't attack it as soon as possible, wait until the commanding heights and several other artillery positions force back the artillery support of the battleships at sea, and you will become the target of concentrated fire here.

It was an absolutely one-sided slaughter on the flat seashore, and the Combine soldiers took out improvised artillery formations and began to clear the firing points on the trenches.

Some of the suicide slave soldiers also came forward with bombs, but many died in front of the trenches.

How could the Cornot guards inside the trench let these things in and hit them with explosives packs. For a moment, the place was covered in smoke.

The scattered artillery in the port area began to support the scattered points, but it was not combined to reduce the power of the warship, but it was also very likely to avoid being covered and cleared by the gunfire of the battleships at sea.

There were a few fewer steam battleships in the original, and there were a lot fewer sailing ships in the back. Hermione let go of the crushed roof stone. The bloody scene below is difficult for her to accept now.

Somewhere in the line of defense were scattered stumps, and the half of the people who crawled backwards with their last breath were directly blown open by the trench, and the smoke of gunpowder carried away that part of the defenders, leaving only a gap.

Several small guns nearby reacted and quickly covered the front area of the blockade there with artillery fire, blocking the slave army that wanted to rush in. The guards behind quickly stepped forward to fill the gap.

At this time, the sound of artillery fire in the rear city also sounded, but the scale was not large, and there was also a large group of combined forces in the dense forest to drive the slave army to attack, intending to encircle here.
