Chapter 236: A Powerful Magical Weapon
After another week or so, the fleet of the Blue Dragon Empire has finally arrived in the Digital Continent, and a great battle is about to begin.
Ye Tianlong sent a lot of reconnaissance planes to the coast to reconnoiter the situation in advance, and found that many buildings similar to forts had been built on the coast of the Digital Continent. It's just that the shape of the cannons in these turrets is a bit strange, and there are a lot of complex mysterious magic patterns on them. Around these turrets, there are also quite a few humanoid Digimon building bunkers and bunkers under the supervision of the demons.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Ye Tianlong immediately understood that it should be those demons who had developed some new weapons, and he had to attack before the other party had completely built those bunkers by the sea.
Soon, bombers and fighter planes quickly took off from the aircraft carriers that had been improvised from transport ships, and gathered like a swarm of bees to pounce on the coastline of the Digital Continent.
After those bombers came to the sky above the target, they immediately dived down, dropped heavy bombs one after another, and bombed the bunkers that had not been completely built, and a large number of Digimon were killed, as for the cannons in those bunkers, I don't know if they were blown up, after all, Ye Tianlong still doesn't know what kind of weapons these things are.
Those fighters soon started a fierce battle with the various flying Digimon sent out from the opposite side, and some reconnaissance planes were mixed in, secretly guiding the battleships in the rear, so that the naval guns on those battleships could be more accurate, specifically to those batteries and places where the enemy forces were more dense.
However, those demons are not bad breeds who can't fight back, and soon they also began their counterattack, a magic energy cannon on the top of the turret that has not been blown up, under the control of the demon beast, a little red light soon appeared on the muzzle, and finally these red lights gathered together, and were shot out by the magic energy cannon, becoming a high-temperature flame ray only the thickness of an arm, bombarding a destroyer.
The thin armor on the damaged destroyer could not withstand the bombardment of this high-temperature ray, and a large hole was immediately shot into the hull, and even an ammunition depot for anti-aircraft artillery shells was detonated, which ignited after the explosion.
One of the destroyers' sailors was lucky not to die in the explosion, but his head was a little dizzy from the explosion, he shook his head, and when the dizziness was not so severe, he put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up.
However, as soon as his hand touched the ground, it burned his mouth and let out a scream, it turned out that the area in front of him was already roasted by the fire burning in the ammunition depot below, so the sailor put his hand on it at this time, which was equivalent to making teppanyaki, and the ingredients were his own palms.
After being burned, the sailor was about to lift his hand up, but as soon as he lifted his palm with force, he felt a more violent tingling pain, accompanied by a tearing sound, and most of the skin of his palm was torn from his palm because it had been glued to the hot steel plate, revealing the bloody flesh underneath.
And this sailor was lucky, only slightly injured, and many sailors were seriously injured or even killed in the explosion just now.
A team of medics was busy rescuing the seriously wounded, and there were also some damage management personnel who brought water pipes and sprayed water on the burning area, trying to extinguish the fire as soon as possible.
At this time, the demon artillery in the fort on the shore quickly took out a fist-sized transparent crystal from behind the magic energy cannon, and then stuffed it into a blood-red crystal, it seems that this thing should be the cannonball of this magic energy cannon, not only is it powerful, but the range is not far from the Qinglong Empire's naval guns, so that these demons are already able to launch an effective counterattack under the bombardment of the opponent's artillery.
At this moment, another demon also rushed over with a large box of red crystals to replenish ammunition for his comrades.
In a munitions factory underground, the demons are working to produce the ammunition needed for the cannon.
I saw that the fire Digimon such as Flame Beasts, Dragons, and Tyrannosaurus Beasts were suppressed and imprisoned in prison cells by those demons using secret techniques, and on their bodies, black pipes that seemed to have their own lives were inserted, and fire energy was continuously collected from these Digimon's bodies, and injected into a transparent crystal on the other end, and when one crystal turned completely blood red, this cannonball was considered a successful production.
At this time, on the coastal defense line, it was not only the red high-temperature rays that were fired by the magic energy cannon, but also a lot of blue electric energy rays and white ice energy rays that bombarded the battleships on the sea from time to time.
These cannons shoot energy rays so powerful that even the most heavily armored battleships can be damaged if hit.
Fortunately, those demons have just developed magical weapons that are applicable to the rules of this world, so there are not many of these magical cannons, so the cannon fire is very sparse.
After Ye Tianlong realized the huge threat of these magic energy cannons, he also used almost all of his naval cannons to attack these magic energy cannons, even some magic energy cannons placed in strong bunkers were forced to blast the bunkers open by Ye Tianlong with a large number of armor-piercing shells, and then blew up the magic cannons inside.
After spending an hour blowing up all those magic cannons, Ye Tianlong sent a large number of landing craft, carrying tens of thousands of elite soldiers to start the landing.
Perhaps because the previous artillery fire was too fierce, the enemy troops on the coastal defense line were frightened and retreated, and the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire did not encounter any obstacles in their landing.
After landing on the land on the shore, those soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire looked at the huge craters on the shore, and they could understand that the enemy chose to retreat, after all, if they continued to stay here to block the attack, the many warships and bombers in the rear would definitely not mind continuing to plow this coastal defense line several times, until the enemy troops above were completely blown up to the point that they had no ability to resist.
The soldiers who easily completed the landing mission did not let their guard down, and immediately began to set up defensive positions on the spot, so that other friendly forces in the rear could bring more supplies and weapons and equipment ashore, especially those tanks, without these things, even these elite soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire would not have the confidence to fight against those huge Digimon.
What the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire didn't know was that the demon leader who was respected by his subordinates as the Dragon Demon Lord was scolding his mother in his palace at this time, because he had just asked for help from those fellow clans in the Phantom Beast Continent, and the other party actually chose to refuse, saying that they had already been pitted by their fellow clans once before, and they had suffered heavy losses, so they would never trust other clans in the future, so that these clans in the Digital Continent would all ask for their own blessings.
The dragon demon really didn't expect to get such a result, after all, in his opinion, they are all of the same race, and the purpose of finally coming to this virtual small world is the same, so naturally they should cooperate sincerely! The guys in the Phantom Beast Continent actually choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight now, are those guys in the water in their brains? I don't know if the Blue Dragon Empire has destroyed them, will it definitely be the turn of the Phantom Beast Continent next?
It's a pity that the dragon demon doesn't have a chance to ask these questions in front of those fellow clans whose heads are in the water, and he must now work hard to block the attack of the Blue Dragon Empire's army.
In addition, he got inspiration from the last battle with the little dragon, and began to add various armor to his land-fighting Digimon, and wrapped metal claw blades around their claws and sharp horns, greatly enhancing the defense and attack power of these Digimon.
Because those magic weapons have just been put into mass production, and the number is limited, so the dragon demon can only reluctantly abandon the coastal defense line and put the enemy in the inland area with more complex terrain, so that the opponent does not have the naval artillery fire support of many warships, and his own soldiers can have the strength to fight in the face of the army of the Blue Dragon Empire, and relying on the complex terrain and dense jungle, they can also rely on the guerrilla warfare method to attack from time to time, and destroy the opponent's living force little by little.
Soon, according to the reports from his front-line subordinates, the dragon demon learned that the battle had entered the second stage according to his plan, and after the army of the Blue Dragon Empire landed easily, it began to march inland in a big way, and soon entered the battlefields he had preset.
Ye Tianlong actually knew that the enemy must want to engage his side in the mountains and forests with more complex terrain, so that his side could not fully exert the combat power of armored forces such as firearms and tanks. But he can't help it, the other party is a conspirator, he can't just let the troops stop advancing because he knows this, and instead expect those demons to come and die by themselves.
After three days of marching, a vanguard force of more than 20,000 people led by Qin Ming and Suo Chao, the pioneer of Thunderbolt, had completely entered a dense jungle.
From the beginning of entering the jungle, Qin Ming and Suo Chao found that from time to time, there were some small Digimon with small body sizes and body colors that were almost integrated with the jungle to snoop around the army, Qin Ming and Suo Chao also tried to chase and kill a few times, but each time they finally killed a few heads, and the next time a large number of Digimon will re-emerge, and they can't be completely killed, and with the troops in this dense jungle to pursue those small things, it is also easy to fall into the ambush of the enemy, So soon Qin Ming and Suo Chao gave up dealing with those little things, and just concentrated on leading the army to march, and at the same time made war preparations at any time, not giving the enemy a chance to sneak attack.
Since the sneak attack could not be achieved, the enemy army chose to attack head-on, and on this day, Qin Ming and Suo Chao had just stopped marching and were about to set up camp for lunch, but a heavy army composed of a large number of large-sized and mature Digimon launched an attack on the camp.
Unlike the last time, those Digimon such as Drakemon and Evil Drakemon that rushed to the front were all wearing thick steel armor like the previous dragons, and their claws were also covered with sharp metal claw blades, and it could be seen that the thickness of those armors was exaggerated, so even if it was only made of ordinary steel, if you were unlucky, you might not be able to penetrate it with the Demon Slayer Type 1 Rifle, and even if you were lucky enough to break through the armor, because most of the kinetic energy had been consumed, That bullet can't do much damage to these giant beasts, and their health will only drop by a few dozen points at most, but you must know that even the weakest of these guys have more than 50,000 HP! At this point, these behemoths have a much superior advantage over human soldiers.
In addition, there are some green-skinned demon beasts, these guys are actually like human soldiers, wearing heavy full-body plate armor, and the original bone rod in their hands has also become a long-handled war hammer made of stainless steel, and the lethality has suddenly increased a lot.
In the face of the enemy's attack, although the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire were fully firepowered, because the enemy troops were completely armed this time, they could not shoot the enemy army before they approached the camp, and soon many Digimon rushed into the camp and started a fierce white-knuckle battle with the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire.
The biggest threat here is the relatively small demon beast, this guy is very flexible on the battlefield because of its small size and humanoid digital beast, and can often launch surprise attacks on the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire under the cover of those giant beasts, which makes people unguardable. As for those huge giant beasts, because they move a lot when they move, it is easy to guard against their attacks, as long as they are not seriously injured and unable to move, it is difficult for the well-trained soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire to be truly attacked by these guys.
After discovering that these evil ghost beasts were so threatening, Qin Ming quickly held a mace in his hand and blocked an evil ghost beast, and as soon as the two sides met, there was no nonsense, and they immediately fought fiercely.
This demon beast is also a relatively powerful existence among mature Digimon, and has an innate quadruple combat power. However, Qin Ming is not a weak chicken, he has an innate five-fold cultivation, and he is not far from the innate six-fold.
Therefore, after the two sides exchanged seven or eight moves, Qin Ming quickly suppressed the other party, and the mace in his hand was heavier than the other, so that the evil ghost beast could only parry, and there was no power to fight back at all, and its tiger mouth was soon cracked, and wisps of blood flowed from its fingers.
After Qin Ming smashed out another stick, the evil ghost beast could no longer hold the war hammer in his hand because the tiger's mouth was shattered, and the weapon was smashed and flew more than ten meters away, and he didn't dare to fight Qin Ming empty-handed, so he turned around and was about to run away.
