While Dawn City was successfully defending against the first wave of attacks, the Red Sand Fortress was also facing the first wave of attacks from the undead monsters.On the northern battlefield, the skeleton mage rode on the back of a carrion black horse, and the dark red pupils in his two eye sockets were beating.Then, he raised the staff of pure ice and pointed forward, opening his mouth to give the order to attack.A sharp whistling sound accompanied by a bitter cold wind quickly spread through the northern wasteland, and thousands of undead monsters rushed towards the walls of the Red Sand Fortress.Unlike the situation in Dawn City, the army of undead monsters that launched an assault on the Red Sand Fortress was commanded by a skeleton mage.Seeing this, the gun commander immediately raised his arm, then swung it down sharply, and commanded loudly: "Fire!"
”Bang-bang-several cannons equipped on the city wall roared one after another, and one after another cannonballs flew out of the cannons and fell into the undead army in front, killing waves of undead monsters.The two groups of magicians were not idle, and began to chant incantations and cast large magic in front of them.A whistling sound rang out again, and the hordes of undead monsters immediately dispersed, reducing the losses from the cannonballs, and continued to rush towards the Red Sand Fortress."
Die!"
When the undead monster gets a little closer, the Heavy immediately adjusts the direction of the heavy machine gun and presses down the firing machine.A barrage of bullets flew out suddenly, the muzzle of the gun spat out a long tongue of fire, and the outgoing bullet casings fell to the ground.The undead monsters that rushed to the front fell in an instant, and the suppressive force of the heavy machine gun was too strong.But it didn't take long for the Heavy to run out of a chain box and had to stop firing.At this time, the barrel of the heavy machine gun was extremely hot, and the muzzle of the gun was still emitting green smoke, which showed how fierce the fire was."
Quick!"
The machine gunner was fighting vigorously, and hurriedly urged the machine gun deputy: "Go get another box of bullet chains, I'm going to overthrow this group of undead monsters today!"
”"It's gone!"
Closing the lid of the chain box, the deputy machine gun turned to the machine gunner and said, "Have you forgotten?"
Lord Banjar had already ordered that in order to save bullets and deal with the first wave of the undead monsters, each machine gun team could be assigned a box of bullet chains, and there was no more.You asked me to go to the logistics to ask for it, just to find a scolding. ”"Ouch, I'll go!"
The Heavy slapped his head and said with some regret, "I fought too fast, and I just missed a lot of bullets against the undead monsters, what a waste." ”"You know, take it."
The deputy machine gun took out a bow and a barrel of arrows from behind him and handed them to the heavy.After the other man took the bow and arrows handed to him, he turned around and picked up the same weapon himself."
Next, we'll have to fight with bows and crossbows.""
It can't be helped, and it can only be like this."
Pulling the bowstring, the Heavy loads the bow with arrows, walks over to the heavy machine gun, and waits for the undead to get closer before shooting arrows to kill the enemy."
Free Fire!"
Seeing the undead monster rushing into the effective range of the bolt-action rifle, the captain immediately gave the order for the soldiers to start shooting.At the head of the city wall, a platoon of soldiers raised their bolt-action rifles in their hands and aimed at the undead monsters in front of them.The Templars supporting the Red Sand Fortress also raised their guns and pulled the trigger.Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and the undead monster that rushed in front met the countless bullets fired from the front, and as a result, a large number fell in an instant.However, the undead monster that had not broken the magic core quickly got up and continued to rush forward.The undead monsters in the rear also completely ignored their fallen companions in front of them, stepping on their corpses, vowing to rush over and kill.From the watchtower, the chief knight, Hughes Banjar, and the Templar commander, Orl Thofen, watched the fiercely fought battlefield in front of them, occasionally giving new instructions to the heralds.Glancing at the Templars downstairs who were aiming and shooting, Theseus turned to Orr and said, "I didn't expect you to be armed with bolt-action rifles as well. ”"Well, shortly after we went back in early spring this year, we started shooting practice."
Orr explained: "Just like you, the bolt-action rifles I have are equipped with are made in Dawn City.Thanks to the friendship between His Holiness and your Majesty the King, it is possible to facilitate the arms deal. ”"I see."
Theseus nodded understandingly."
However, I didn't expect your weapons to develop so quickly, in addition to bolt-action rifles, there are also heavy machine guns that can fire continuously, and artillery that far exceeds the range and power of trebuchets."
As he spoke, Orr glanced at a cannon not far away."
That's right!"
Suddenly thinking of something, he proposed: "Since the artillery has such a long range, you might as well have the artillery aim at the skeleton mage who is in charge of the command in the distance and carry out the artillery bombardment." ”The skeleton mage remained the same as before, riding out of a safe distance where trebuchets and large magic could hit, but within range of the artillery."
That's the guy."
Hughes looked to the north, then shook his head, and said regretfully: "The target is too far, and it is only one person, the artillery under my command has only recently learned to operate artillery, and the technology is not very good, and it is impossible to accurately hit a single target so far away." ”In fact, artillery is originally used to destroy a large number of enemies or destroy large targets, and it is almost impossible to accurately kill a single target.This task should be left to the Sniper."
It's okay if you don't hit."
Orr said, "As long as we can frighten him and prevent him from delivering orders to the undead army in time, it can also relieve the pressure on our defense to a certain extent." ”The other side has a point, but the required number of shells has already been fired.If you consume too much ammo in the early stage, you won't have any ammo available in the later stage.Just as Xiuth hesitated, a whistling sound came again, and the skeleton mage issued a new order, and the undead monster suddenly accelerated towards a weak point of defense.Seeing this, Theseus hurriedly issued a new instruction to let the soldiers from the adjacent section of the city wall come to support.A few nimble undead monsters had already ascended the walls, and Orr had ordered several Templars to draw their swords and come to their aid.Fortunately, the support of the soldiers and Templars arrived in time, and the brief crisis was quickly quelled, with only a few soldiers injured and no one killed."
How's it going?"
Orr then asked, "Are you going to shell the skeleton mage?"
”"Then let's try it."
In the end, Hughes made up his mind to bombard the commander.If the Skeleton Mage falls, the battle will be much easier, after all, the undead monsters who have lost their command are a rabble that will only rush forward with all their might.Thinking of this, Xius asked the herald to quickly inform the gunner, allowing them to go to the logistics to get two live shells, and the target of the shelling was the skeleton mage who commanded the undead army.
