When the trajectory of magic civilization suddenly took a turn and thus embarked on the path of industrialization, the world of Helka ushered in a grand upheaval unseen in ten thousand years.This i...

Chapter 538 Chapter 536: The natural disaster finally arrives (please subscribe)

In the Mage Tower, the screening room was once again full of people.

In addition to the flower leader, the red dragon Virgil and two vampire grand dukes were sitting next to Loy.

In this small room, there were four legendary fighters, but no one spoke. Instead, they stared at the magic mirror in front of them.

Four separate images have been separated on the magic mirror, all showing the battlefield of Verdun, but from different perspectives.

Some are high above, surveying the entire battlefield;

Some chased the magic tank and took photos in great detail;

Some focused on the walls of Verdun to see the Allied forces’ feedback;

Some stayed at the front lines of the empire, watching how the empire planned its attack.

By the end of April, the magical weather war finally came to an end and could no longer continue.

The Empire's magicians dispersed the dark clouds, allowing the sun's rays to shine directly on the earth. After the moisture evaporated, the muddy ground became hard and could no longer hinder the magic tanks.

However, the coalition forces also bought time and completed the gathering of troops.

The Empire was also completely annoyed.

Then, there was today's bloody battle.

The Empire still took the initiative, and the artillery positions showed their power, firing countless shells amidst the roar.

However, when these shells landed, they didn't explode. Instead, green gas hissed out, spreading and expanding...

In an instant, they occupied a large territory.

Those Allied soldiers who had been hiding came out of the trenches in fear.

The quick reaction was to run away at full speed;

Those who reacted slowly took out the potion and poured it into their mouths, then covered their mouths and noses.

But most of the coalition soldiers were pinching their necks, twitching as if they were suffocating; some covered their eyes, blinded by the smoke.

More of them were foaming at the mouth, their eyes were wide open, and they were deader than dead.

This is a poison gas bomb!

Seriously speaking, this is not the first time the Empire has used poison gas bombs, but previous ones were just small-scale operations or just for actual combat testing.

This time, it is not just a matter of large-scale use. The toxicity of the poison gas bombs is also quite exaggerated, and their diffusivity and toxicity are not comparable to before.

Fortunately, the Empire reacted quickly, and the magic circles that had not yet been removed were activated one by one. Several calamity wizards presided over the activation and directly summoned a strong wind.

The intention was obvious, they wanted to blow the poison gas to the imperial headquarters.

The idea is good, but since the Empire dares to use this poison gas bomb, it must have its considerations.

The magic circle here activated faster and also stirred up a strong wind, but in the opposite direction.

The wind is invisible, but when it carries the green poisonous gas, its shape can be seen.

Then, everyone saw that in the center of the battlefield, two strong winds collided and formed tornadoes that rushed into the sky.

Although there were losses, at least the harm caused by the poison gas bombs was eliminated.

But, how could the Empire’s attack be so simple?

The second wave of artillery fire arrived immediately.

Because there was a storm sweeping through the air, it ultimately affected the trajectory of the shells, making them less accurate.

But this time the shells didn't need to be accurate. They hit the ground, splashing countless pollen-like things that floated around.

Then, flames rose out of nowhere and spread rapidly, covering the position in an instant and spreading into the distance.

The strange flame burned, and it could not be extinguished by water or covered by earth. The soldiers could only watch as they were burned to death.

This is a white scale bullet!

The shells have been specially treated and filled with white scale powder, which has extremely poor stability. They must be transported with caution for fear of being bumped or scratched, and they must be stored with even greater caution.

Only at this point did its terrifying power show up on the battlefield.

The coalition forces tried many methods but were unable to extinguish the fire. They could only watch their soldiers die and their positions lost.

Then, when the phosphorus fire was almost burning out, the magic tank rushed onto the battlefield.

The leader is the king of land warfare led by flowers, but there are not many of them left.

Following behind were all the "Tiger" tanks developed and produced by the Empire, and the appearance of the two tanks was not much different.

The Tiger is relatively shorter and flatter, but otherwise there is no difference.

The performance and structure of the two are not exactly the same, but they are no different.

The empire's "plagiarism" is all so open and justified.

However, the empire's industrial production capacity is indeed not comparable to that of the Flower Territory. After mastering the technology, it can carry out mass production at a very fast speed.

In the Verdun battlefield, in a short period of time, there were no less than 500 Tiger tanks.

The dark gun barrel pointed diagonally, and the lit magic pattern flickered. Although it could be activated, it did not look like it was going to fight, but rather to push forward!

As for the surroundings of the tanks, there were Imperial infantry squads, using the tanks as cover and advancing continuously.

The coalition forces certainly will not sit idly by and wait for death.

The artillery on their side also began to show its power, and with a roar, shells were fired at the positions.

To be honest, it does have some effect, at least the damage to infantry is still quite considerable, but the advancement of the magic tank is almost unaffected.

Even if it is a direct hit, it will often be deflected by the frontal armor, or explode, with fragments flying everywhere, causing some scratches.

For this terrible weapon of war, it is almost painless.

Of course, it is not true to say that the coalition forces have no countermeasures at all!

The coalition forces relied on the large number of magicians and formed mage teams in groups.

Then, these mage groups will be guarded by several extraordinary strong men, who will close the distance and cast spells to attack.

They had already obtained internal information, and with people like Fake Wood who knew a lot about tanks, they had found many ways to attack.

Therefore, these wizard groups brought a lot of magic scrolls.

Either it is Swamp Magic, which directly limits the tank's mobility;

Either it's shock magic that damages the tank's internal circuits;

Or it could be earth magic, which would directly fill the barrel, gun barrel, and observation port, causing the tank to lose its vision and not dare to fire at will.

Or you can use water ball magic combined with ice magic, which is a personal version of weather warfare and can also be very powerful.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing is that this time the coalition forces were forced into a desperate situation and did not care about anything and recruited a lot of necromancers.

The ghosts and undead summoned by these necromancers can cause great damage to tanks.

The ghosts without corpses can penetrate the armor and directly attack the crew inside.

Of course, these crew members are not only good at driving, they are also capable of fighting and are equipped with magic pistols.

From these fancy methods, it is not difficult to see that when internal information was opened and even three tanks were taken away, the coalition forces did a lot of research and achieved certain results.

The battles between these magician teams and magic tanks often depend on who takes the initiative.

Even extraordinary warriors cannot withstand a few shots from the tank's main gun, and these mages' attacks on its weaknesses will also pose a huge threat to the tank.

Who wins and who loses will naturally depend on the performance on the battlefield.

But there is no doubt that the coalition forces are finally no longer powerless to resist.

Under the attack of these magic teams, many tanks broke down or were destroyed.

The front battlefield encountered certain obstacles!

But the problem is that the number of magic teams is small after all, and if one dies, there will be one less. The time spent on training them can be calculated in years.

The Empire's tanks, that is, those on the battlefield, numbered as many as four or five hundred.

At this time, if you look down from a high altitude, you can easily find that the Verdun line, a 40-kilometer-long battle line,

The coalition forces on both sides were almost retreating step by step, only the city of Verdun remained strong.

But as time went on, the armies on the left and right sides surrounded them, forming a three-sided siege.

As long as the magic tanks drive to the city and use direct firepower to blow down the city walls, the battle will be over.

Even if the Allied soldiers were not afraid of hardships and started street fighting, this city was actually of little value to the empire.

It doesn't matter if we pull the heavy magic cannon closer and bomb the city into ruins.

What they wanted was to open a road through the fortress and reach the city of Lutetia behind Verdun.

There is no doubt that the Allied Forces were once again pushed to the brink of the cliff, and the Bonaparte Empire once again faced a life-and-death crisis.

Procrastination is just procrastination after all!

On the battlefield of mortals, the Habsburg Empire is the overlord!

However, it was also at this moment that the coalition forces completely stopped pretending.

Hundreds of fourth-level natural disasters emerged from the city of Verdun and from the sky.

Here are magicians, knights, swordsmen, berserkers, assassins...

The vast fighting spirit covered the sky, and the turbulent elemental power transformed into various large-scale magic spells, falling from the sky.

It is difficult to describe the shock of this moment. The powerful natural disaster trampled on the oath and agreement and officially intervened in the battlefield. The damage caused was extremely terrifying.

Even if the imperial soldiers are all holding magical weapons, semi-automatic rifles and heavy machine guns can fire dozens or hundreds of bullets in the shortest time.

Even though they still had rocket launchers and grenades, they charged forward fearlessly, even thinking of dying together.

But in the face of the slaughter of the powerful natural disasters, they are still as fragile as ants.

The tanks have strong defenses, and most of the methods used by the Scourge warriors are difficult to break through the defense head-on, but they still have sufficient means.

For example, the power-type Scourge will no longer foolishly fight against tanks, but when they turn their battle axes and hit the tanks with the back of the axe, it will still cause huge shock.

The crew members in the tank were all shaken to death, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and died with their eyes open.

There are also speed-type natural disasters. They prefer to use attribute fighting spirit, continuous input, flooding, burning, freezing and burying, which stunned all the tank soldiers for a while.

Not to mention the magicians, they have plenty of means to penetrate the heavy armor and harm the imperial soldiers inside.

Before this, it’s not that there hadn’t been natural disasters, but they were at most the personal actions of one or two people who couldn’t control themselves.

However, this time, it was an organized and premeditated breaking of the existing alliance, and the killing of mortal soldiers in the name of natural disasters.

This was something that was expressly prohibited after the human race unified the Old World and almost never happened.

For a fourth-level natural disaster, killing the weak is quite shameful and humiliating.

It's like someone forcing them to kneel down and then stepping over their heads.

But at this moment, it is happening!

On the Empire's side, after they realized what was happening, powerful natural disaster warriors immediately took action.

However, at this time, the strength of the alliance was revealed.

Dozens of Calamities took action again and stopped the powerful Calamities of the Empire. This time, it was not a battle between mortals.

But it was a large-scale natural disaster melee!

In the screening room,

Luo Yi stared at the magic mirror and couldn't help but say, "This is not good! Very bad!"

In fact, there had been natural disasters and battles before this, but they were all one-on-one fights that took place above the sky!

Even though the coalition had attracted so many abyss demons and devil legions, they were very cautious not to let the Scourge intervene in the mortal war.

It’s not just because natural disasters are very powerful and will cause greater damage, but because everyone has a tacit understanding.

If your Calamity doesn't start killing, my Calamity will also exercise some restraint, thus limiting the upper limit of the battle.

The Empire has always abided by this agreement, although this is related to the fact that there are not enough strong people in the Empire.

But, just ask whether he complied with it or not?

The coalition forces secretly violated the rules countless times, but on the surface, they still seemed to maintain the original rules.

Both sides actually understand that the reason for this is not just because of the natural disaster battle and the damage caused to the Old Continent.

Moreover, if there really were no rules at all, the intensity of the war would increase further.

By then, the demise of natural disasters and the fall of legends will become the norm.

By then, many people will die!

Many, many people!

The continuation of war and hatred will be a never-ending struggle.

It can be said that before today, everyone had a tacit understanding;

But today, after being forced into a desperate situation, the coalition forces finally gave up.

Red Dragon Virgil nodded slightly, but then shook his head: "This day will come sooner or later. From now on, the war will probably intensify.

Who knows, in the end, it will just be another 'battle of the stars'."

Grand Duke Karen said, "Count Loy, time really is running out.

Only with the Blood Moon Forest and our own demiplane can we safely navigate this foreseeable turmoil."

Grand Duchess Lucy took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, we have built the portal. Now, it's up to you."

Roy asked, "How's the stability?"

"Even if a legend takes action, it will take some time to destroy it."

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

Luo Yi nodded slowly: "Let's get started!"

PS: Wait a minute, there is one more update!
