Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 134 Attack
Once the course of action is confirmed, the entire expedition team will be in operation.

According to the reconnaissance of the rotor drone, the two academy lords from the empire joined the imperial army and the Ministry of True Love after leaving the Nordwar family.

"But this was expected..."

Nolan acknowledged the status quo with some frankness in previous action sessions:
"They are the wizards of the empire. After completing their revenge for destroying the tree wolf village, they will naturally join Lauu - we don't have an 'opponent' who can talk to them on an equal footing."

"In other words, because there are no imperial nobles on our side, is it impossible to even 'negotiate'?"

Noah, who had received corresponding training in the Nordwa family, raised his hand and asked.

He doesn't necessarily really understand, but other non-imperial "allies" need explanation.

"Yes."

Nolan glanced at him and nodded:

"Now we have two directions—"

"One is to destroy the corpse tide giants, and the other is to attack the ritual array guarded by the imperial army."

"The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so according to the results of the discussion between the First Corps and the Council of Elders, which direction to choose will be decided by our frontline leaders through discussion."

Nolan's eyes swept over Sun Simiao and Leng Dao.

That's all the battle bosses in the cavern camp.

"After Hannit's death, I can only display [-]% of my original strength. The situation of Felt and Noah is a little better than mine, but they are basically slightly weaker than members of the third team at the same level, so You can now equate my strength with Sun Simiao's."

Nolan's statement was very calm, but only [-]% of his strength was left, but he was still on the same level as Sun Simiao——

On the contrary, it highlights his self-confidence.

As the highest combat power of the third corps, Sun Simiao nodded without denying it.

"So, as the current top leader of the Expedition Team, my opinion is to directly capture Nordwar Castle - if it is the second and third teams with full firepower, this task is not difficult for us."

"The difficulty lies in the three imperial wizards."

After a long silence, Sun Simiao finally spoke out:

"Except for the second corps in a special situation, I am the only captain-level explorer that can be dispatched by the third corps, and if I add you, plus Felt and the others at most, can I handle the three imperial wizards? ?”

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

Nolan nodded and replied, without seeming too surprised:
"There are also many crown-level knights in the military soldiers of the imperial army. According to a rough estimate, our strength is almost the same as theirs-the rest depends on who has better tactics and stronger strength."

And at this moment, Leng Dao interrupted them——

"If you want to attack the castle of the Nordwald family, our wolf clan will not participate."

Facing the somewhat surprised eyes of others, Leng Dao said coldly:

"We have our way, so we will save our strength and wait for your U-turn."

Sun Simiao recalled the few remaining fighting population of the tree wolf tribe, and nodded.

He didn't think that under the tactical system of the expedition team, there was much room for the cooperation of the tree wolf warriors.

Rather, an army composed of pure exploration team fighters is more convenient for the two exploration team captains to command.

"Then now that all the details are confirmed, let's attack tomorrow!"

Nolan's eyes swept over everyone before finalizing the conclusion.

.

Exploration team members from two squadrons came from the third and second corps respectively.

There are nearly 200 people in total.

And this is already all the combat power that the entire refuge can mobilize.

Although according to Sun Simiao, there are almost 300 explorers in the refuge.

But it is impossible for the Council of Elders to devote themselves to the war of the Timberwolves even the explorers who are responsible for guarding the traffic stations and shelters—

In fact, the more than 200 people in front of us are already all members of the "Great Expedition" that can be dispatched this year——

If they are wiped out here, the "Great Crusade" in the next few years will become nonsense.

And the complete annihilation of the 150-person expedition team is the limit of the loss of the expedition team that the refuge can bear——

Although it also includes the trainees like Jiatu who have not yet become real explorers.

"There are not enough people now, so I can only borrow your kitten's paws."

In the cave camp, Wu Ning, who was the temporary captain of the trainees, led his team members to check the equipment on Jiatu and the others one by one.

This was Jiatu's first battle, so everyone was very nervous.

But they were well equipped, from body armor to assault rifles.

Because they were fighting against humans, they didn't prepare any heavy weapons.

Instead, there will be artillery support from other expedition team members.

As the team leader, Wu Ning and the others are equipped with five exoskeletons, and this is all the supporting firepower of the entire trainee team.

Other members of the exploration team who are not in charge of direct combat will help transport ammunition from the shelter, and must guard against the enemy's surprise attack on the cave camp. Therefore, the exploration team can only send two squadrons, a team of about 100 people. on offense.

"Is that the so-called 'light in the front and heavy in the back' formation..."

Jiatu looked at the trainees around him, everyone was very nervous.

But Nolan and Sun Simiao showed no mercy or care for them——

"Because we haven't completed the training, so compared to other precious 'official explorers', we are more suitable as cannon fodder..."

Jiatu knew that people like himself were like mobilized soldiers, so he completely put an end to the idea of ​​being a hero.

It's just that Hua Lun and Wei Wei are very excited, and they want to win glory for the shelter.

Wu Ning did not comfort them either—

Because she was nervous too.

For the first time as the captain of the trainee team, she wore the Moko exoskeleton to participate in combat. She took a deep breath and stood up while manipulating the gray individual armor like knight armor.

She is nearly 2 meters tall, and her body is covered with a thick layer of titanium alloy armor that can resist direct fire from a 12.7mm machine gun. She raised the 20mm machine gun in her hand and greeted everyone——

"Follow me!"

.

Compared with the empire's frontier expeditionary force, Jiatu's numbers are not superior.

However, the poor mechanical processing technology of the empire prevented them from producing high-precision equipment like exoskeletons——

In fact, the Empire struggled to mass-produce even World War II-quality breech-loading rifles without the use of wizard artisans.

It's just that even if it's just the front-loading Mini rifles from the American Civil War, when there are enough numbers, they can still pose a threat to Jiatu and the others.

When Jiatu and the others, under the leadership of Wu Ning and the others, approached Razor Town for about two kilometers, they encountered the defensive position of the Imperial Border Guard——

A trench position dug in the woodland.

This kind of World War I-level trench fortification does not seem to have high technical content, but it can still cause serious obstacles to Jiatu and the others if they are well prepared.

"After Captain Nolan and the others withdrew, did they take over the defense of the entire Razor Town..."

Wu Ning took a deep breath and raised a hand——

"Vice-captain, provide the coordinates to the artillery detachment. The others are ready to follow me and attack the local positions!"

Wu Ning's tone was very calm.

But Jiatu only has more than 30 people, the combat effectiveness of a platoon.

The opponent has nearly 150 people, a whole reinforcement company.

But judging from Wu Ning's tone, they were not worried about this level of obstruction at all.

Sure enough, after several bombardment corrections, the artillery detachment guided by the rotor drone and the front-line exoskeleton began to use World War II-level processed artillery to attack the imperial army.

The artillery shells that fell from the sky roared and smashed on Jiatu's imperial position 200 meters away.

Garto could hear nothing but the screech of the shells across the sky and the crash of the shells as they hit the ground.

The real shelling was very different from what he had imagined.

There is no fiery flame like a petrol bomb burning like in the TV series, only a lot of splashed mud and debris.

When a shell falls, all trees within a radius of more than 50 meters can be leveled.

The trunk was blown into a sieve by invisible shell fragments like a torrential rain, and fell down creakingly, and then was hit by other shells, and even the fallen crown was cut off from the crown and branches.

Jiatu's teeth were a little gritty, listening to the sound of crackling leaves around him——

The aftermath of the cannonball flew near them, and it was no longer fragments of the cannonball, but pure gravel and mud.

And Wu Ning counted on the watch, and when the 5 minutes were up, she immediately stood up and walked forward:

"It's time! Follow me!"

Jiatu followed cautiously with his assault rifle in his hand, with both the main and outer Terrorists operating to the maximum.

But it didn't work--

He felt that any bullet could avoid his body armor and land on his head, taking his life.

But that didn't happen.

When Jiatu and the others advanced, the shelling didn't stop, but spread along the trenches of the imperial soldiers all the way to the distance.

Jiato immediately realized the military name of this practice from the knowledge of the external brain terror——

"Gun extension" and "fire blockade".

The artillery bombs falling to the rear of the imperial trenches blocked the follow-up support forces of the border guards.

And their front-line troops hiding in the trenches, even if they were not killed by the artillery, were lying on the ground in a daze at this time, without even realizing that the god of death had come——

"Don't hold back!"

Wu Ning reminded everyone: "We are short of manpower, we don't have time to capture prisoners, we kill people immediately when we see them alive, everyone should pay attention to their backs and sides, and don't be attacked by surviving imperial soldiers!"

Jiatu and the others mechanically carried out Wu Ning's orders.

After following the exoskeleton and entering the trench, Jiatu and the others immediately fired short bursts at the "corpse" on the ground.

A large number of imperial soldiers were shot to the ground when they were still lingering in the aftermath of the shelling.

The few rebels who responded in a timely manner were unable to resist the dual reflex nerves provided by the external horror brain and the main horror brain——

Not to mention, just in case, Jiatu also turned on the Werewolf on purpose.

Although Moko's consumption would be a bit exaggerated, it was nothing compared to the safety of his own life.

Jiatu pulled the trigger on an imperial soldier who was shaking off his body and trying to stand up.

A disc bullet of about 500 joules penetrated his body.

But he still tried to raise the weapon, and Garto had to aim it at his head—

After the spine was blown, it could no longer resist.

Jiatu could even see through the opponent's gray eyes that he was an officer of the Wuhua tribe.

But the war left him no chance to think.

After capturing the first layer of trenches from the frontier guards, Jiatu and the others cleared the entire position along the bombing point of the artillery.

It only took 15 minutes before and after, because what to do during the trench cleaning, what to pay attention to, and the outer shell that can load the combat tutorial, have all been marked out for them——

Maybe not as good as those real veterans who have died a lifetime, but it is completely enough to guide these recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

After quickly clearing the entire trench with the standard of an elite army unit, Jiatu and the others took control of the entire trench with almost zero casualties.

Just when Jiatu thought they would move on, he heard Wu Ning squatting down beside them——

"It's time for the artillery to continue firing, and the Imperial Army knows this, and they will counterattack."

With five exoskeletons as the fulcrum, Wu Ning controls the entire front:

"Everyone pulls out their grenades and prepares for a counterattack!"

The pace of "modern" warfare made Jiatu and the others overwhelmed.

But the mobilization of personnel in the empire took time.

So Jiatu managed to scrape together another 15 minutes to prepare the trenches——

This time the defender was replaced by the Empire, and any attack that appeared behind them was likely to have very serious consequences.

This is why Wu Ning does not want prisoners of war and asks them to quickly clean up the entire battlefield.

And watching the war between the tree wolf clan and the Nordwa family, and having the experience of fighting ghouls, no one will be negligent and treat Wu Ning's order as a child's play.

Therefore, there are trainees collecting equipment everywhere——

Although they can't use the mini bombs of the imperial army, the two fireball scrolls equipped with each imperial soldier are not included.

They have the demons and the main equipment of the brain, and they can also use the weapons of these imperials.

Jiatu just put the fireball scroll in front of his eyes, and its operation manual was already revealed on the terrifying visual projection of the exterior——

It seems that the previous expedition team did not deal with the empire less.

This way of fighting with tutorials anytime, anywhere makes Jiatu and the others feel very comfortable——

However, before they had fully familiarized themselves with the new equipment, the imperial counterattack team had already pounced on them!

Jiatu just glanced at them, and found that there were more than 50 of them. Each of them carried a long knife on their backs, and held a lever rifle that could fire shotguns in their arms. Their long gray hair and sharp eyes undoubtedly showed that they were identity of--

Wuhuaren's Officer Death Squad!
　I haven't written a war scene in a long time.
