Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 488 Then the ladder and stone stacks are connected

The orgy of destruction continues in Jericho Canyon.

The tanks "Astrakhan" and "Novgorod" advanced slowly into the depths of the canyon at a speed of five kilometers per hour.

In stark contrast to their leisurely engine power, are the two hard-working "Bofors Magic Cannons" on the roof: every thirty seconds, they will condense into a mass at the muzzle. The dazzling glow of magic energy, and then the violent firepower blessed by the God of Death, the God of War, the God of Magic, and the God of Crafts, ruthlessly poured out on the cliffs on both sides, creating a huge gap with one shot.

At this moment, the two "Apocalypse" chariots no longer look like weapons on the battlefield, but more like the demolition and excavation trucks under the Frost Maple Ridge Ministry of Internal Affairs - except that Mayor Joel and Master Donald's The excavation trucks demolished the old buildings on the Phoenix Platform and eliminated the backward production capacity in the wasteland of the Soul-Splitting Land, while the "Astrakhan" and "Novgorod" demolished a fake The rocky canyon was replaced, and all hopes of the orc defenders in the canyon were eliminated.

Inch by inch, inch by inch, this canyon, which has not changed after thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain, is retreating and shrinking under the firepower of the Frost Maple Ridge troops. No one can doubt that when the two "Apocalypse" chariots complete the entire canyon, there will no longer be any remains of the canyon cliffs, only a charred and lifeless wilderness.

By then, not to mention the hiding place of the federal defenders, the entire canyon will cease to exist! The orcs ambush hidden on the cliffs not only had no possibility of escaping, but they could only suffer the unreasonable disaster of being buried in Jericho Canyon with their lives, courage and honor.

Michael Gowther stared blankly at the two dark destroying angels performing their missions, speechless.

The demon prince couldn't figure out how the "Bofors" magic artillery, which was originally quite limited in power, could suddenly gain such majestic power after being installed on the Tianling cover of the "Apocalypse" chariot?

How do these dark steel chariots provide the magic artillery with the huge energy of Shanjibowei? Even with a simple calculation, Prince Michael felt that to support a "Bofors" artillery to operate so continuously and with high power, at least three senior magisters would be required to work tirelessly to deliver magic power!

Prince Michael’s intestines turned green with regret:

If he had known earlier that the "Bofors" magic artillery, which was considered useless by the demons, could be used like this in the hands of Frost Maple Ridge, he would never have gone with Katrin just to be a favor. Na Igor signed an export contract for "Bofors" artillery!

No matter how diverse and independent Frost Maple Ridge is, it is still an imperial force with humans as the main body in name! If the application effect of "Bofors" magic artillery in Frost Maple Ridge is so good, then exporting "Bofors" to them from the Demon Realm is nothing more than giving the enemy heavy weapons and equipping them with sharp blades. It is appropriate. A perfect act of demonic rape!

——Although the people of Frost Maple Ridge are drinking and chatting with me now, one day, the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge, who is full of martial virtue, will point the "Apocalypse" chariot and "Bofors" artillery at the Arcane Spire on a whim. South of the defense line, how should Michael Gowther, a contender for the demon throne, deal with himself?

Seeing the "Apocalypse" chariot showing off its power in Jericho Canyon, Prince Michael just wanted to slap himself hard.

What frightened him even more was that the two "Apocalypses" were not the only protagonists of this grand opening drama.

According to the war regulations compiled by the Frost Maple Ridge Staff Headquarters, in the coordinated infantry and tank operations, the only mission of the Frost Maple Ridge heavy infantry following the "Astrakhan" and "Novgorod" vehicles is To ensure the safety of vehicles, to guard against possible enemy raids, and to eliminate possible small threats - for those sporadic enemy soldiers, using the "Bofors" magic artillery is purely a killing of chickens. On the contrary, it is equipped by the pioneering army infantry. Seamus hand crossbows and Kalashnikov rifles can be effectively dealt with.

This group of armored warriors who move forward silently are the best bodyguards of the "Apocalypse" chariot. They don't need to take any actual action, they are enough to deter all hostile looks in the dark that don't know their own capabilities.

But the mages of the "Northern Blizzard Mage Group" who were following the infantry queue were a little unable to bear the loneliness.

Whenever two "Apocalypse" chariots destroy a mountain cliff with artillery, the Frost Maple Ridge mages in the team will immediately take action, using various large-scale destructive magic to plow the target location again to ensure that this place is not No one will be left alive.

The magic sequence of Frost Maple Ridge can be regarded as gathering the essence of various forces in the mainland. In just a few minutes, Michael Gowther was able to distinguish the exquisite and gorgeous elf mage of Yongri City from this colorful range of magic brilliance. "The Embrace of Green Ancient Trees", the "Lighting Fire" standard for the imperial army's military mages, the "Arcane Slaughter Array" used by the wandering mage of Lianhua Ridge without any restrictions, and the unique "Margaret Blood Sacrifice Magic Ritual" used by the blood elf magician ", and sometimes there were even a few frost spells with a gloomy aura thrown out from nowhere.

The magic artillery plus the multiple scourges of elemental magic, let alone the ordinary Federation orc soldiers, even an eighth-level archmage who sat on the cliff of Jericho Canyon in person, would still have to be served by this luxury package Take off a layer of skin.

Prince Michael also specifically studied the process of the Frost Maple Ridge mage's actions, and found that all this seemed chaotic, but in fact there was a mystery: every magician in the Frost Maple Ridge mage team seemed to have arranged his own. The order of tasks and actions, prepare magic when you should prepare magic, chant spells when you should chant spells, and take two steps forward to kill when you should throw out the prepared magic. This orderly magic casting rule ensures that almost every minute All of them can guarantee a certain level of magic firepower output without excessive consumption and waste of magic power.

The mage regiments accompanying the regular army of the empire actually have similar tactical coordination, but the magic lineup in Frost Maple Ridge is much more luxurious and complex than the mage regiments in the empire, which are mainly composed of junior magicians and intermediate magicians. Even the well-informed Prince Michael, who is a member of Gowther's royal court, can't help but tremble at Frost Maple Ridge's generosity in elemental power.

"Look, dear His Highness Michael, this is our latest experimental unit added to the territorial establishment." Xia Houyan seemed not to notice Prince Michael's shock, and pointed leisurely at the end of the team. A small group of people, "This is our 'military statistician'."

Prince Michael followed the Lord's instructions and saw only a dozen young Shuangmangling officers, each wearing a green big-brimmed hat, a woolen military uniform, a white armed belt, and a dark moon glazed telescope hanging around his neck. , with a shining magic detector tied to his waist, and holding a pen and paper in his hand, he kept writing something.

"Chief of Staff Mountbatten told me before that although the troops in our territory have very good combat effects, waste of resources and operational errors still occur frequently. In addition, we have been adding new equipment to the battle order recently, so we must do a good job Evaluate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of these equipment and provide data for future improvements." The situation and data are recorded for future analysis. "

As soon as the lord beckoned, a young staff officer who acted as a "military statistician" trotted up to the two horses with a notebook under his arm, stood at attention and saluted. Xia Houyan took the notebook from the young man's hand, flipped through it briefly, and read to Prince Michael:

"Well, you see, the problems we encountered in this battle are all written here... 1. The aiming and fire control of the 'Bofors' artillery need to be improved; 2. The infantry array can be expanded laterally to a width of twenty meters; 3. , The coverage of magic bombing is still overlapping and wasted; 4. Commander Pavol Eldridge is fishing - huh? "

Xia Houyan frowned angrily, and threw the notepad on the helmet of Eldridge, who was not far away and had no idea what he was doing. The latter was suffering from pain on the top of his head. Meeting the lord's gritted eyes, he hurriedly stuffed the Biqu Pavilion's pirated Shuangwen back into his armor.

"All in all, our performance still needs to be improved." Xia Houyan glared at the lazy dog ​​again, cleared his throat at Prince Michael, and said, "You and the demons will not choose allies like us - —”

The sharp sound of the horn pierced the sky, interrupting the boasting of an unscrupulous lord.

Just as Xia Houyan hurriedly raised the dark moon glazed telescope, the high-pitched and firm shaman war song also sounded on the cliff in the distance.

"The orcs can't withstand the pressure anymore!" Prince Michael looked serious and pointed to the place where the war song sounded, "They will launch an attack soon -"

——A "disaster of flesh and blood" incendiary bomb wrapped in fire finished Prince Michael's unspoken words. This incendiary bomb was suddenly shot out from a cliff, drawing a perfect parabola in the air. Before it could land on the heads of the Frost Maple Ridge troops, it was intercepted in mid-air by the magic that had been prepared by the Northern Blizzard Mage Group. It exploded into brilliant fireworks.

Within three seconds, the Frost Maple Ridge magicians who were still swaying magic and bombing from all directions had reorganized their formation and quickly set up an egg-shaped "Evans Protective Barrier" to protect the lord in the center. Be prepared for subsequent elemental attacks from the orcs.

"Remove the protective barrier! I don't need protection!" Xia Houyan shouted, waving his riding crop, "Use your magic power to attack! Kill me!"

As a result, the "Evans Protective Barrier" disappeared, replaced by a string of colorful offensive magics flying out towards the orcs' hiding place.

But the "Bofors" magic artillery moves even faster.

While the northern Blizzard mages were busy switching combat modes, the gunners of the two "Apocalypse" tanks had completed the recalibration of their weapons. The two magic cannons faced the place where the "Flesh and Blood Catastrophe" shells flew out. shoot.

Since the target is far away this time, the magic energy gathered by the "Bofors" magic artillery is no longer a flood-type range bombing, but is changed to a precise strike focused on one point - two magic energy light beams. It was fired from the muzzle of the tank and then accurately met on the cliff at the target location.

A second later, a huge orange-red fireball ignited on the hit cliff - it was a violent reaction caused by the explosion of the fuel tank and ammunition rack after a "Flesh and Blood Scourge" tank was hit.

"Distance, position and range are always the most important things on the battlefield." Xia Houyan introduced the face of the pale Prince Michael with a smile, "You see, the 'flesh and blood disaster' of the Glorious Federation cannot touch you or me. But we can just blow it up!"

"Compared with the equipment level in your territory, there is indeed a generational gap between the Glorious Federation and other continental armed forces." Prince Michael lowered his head in sincerity.

"I was originally worried that today's military operation would take all afternoon. We really have to wait until we bulldoze the entire canyon." Xia Houyan picked up his cigar again and watched with satisfaction as his magician fired the second round of elemental spells. Well, these idiot orcs couldn’t hold their breath and directly exposed the location of their stronghold... Now, it’s time for a real battle.”

The Duke of Frost Maple Ridge raised his hands and clapped them.

A huge shadow brushed across Prince Michael's pale cheek.

Sindragosa in the air passed by the Frost Maple Ridge team who were still firing freely, and dived all the way into the depths of the canyon. First, it used a cobra maneuver to dodge countless shaman war song haloes flying from the bottom of the canyon, and then suddenly loosened its claws, Two large "flame sandwich candy" incendiary bombs were thrown into the canyon, directly burning the target area into a red and fiery purgatory world.

Dozens of "Hellcat" gryphons following behind the Steel Dark Dragon immediately swooped forward, using Seamus hand crossbows and Thracian annihilation arrows to hit the drowned dogs over a sea of ​​fire.

The passionate war songs of the shamans only echoed among the cliffs on both sides of Jericho Canyon for half a minute before they were completely drowned out by the deafening screams and wails.

"Actually, I am a complete pacifist. After the war, I will transform Jericho Canyon into a theme park, and build a monument inside to warn future generations of the cruelty of war." Xia Houyan told Michael After the prince made his solemn promise, he turned around and cursed at the magicians in the team:

"Stop it now! Everyone on the other side is dead. If you throw a few more area-of-effect magics at me, you will burn all the equipment that can be captured in our territory!"
