Chapter 279 Fall and Bombardment! (5000+! Please subscribe!)

What happened?

Marshal Portia rubbed his eyes, feeling extremely unbelievable.

The morale of Odin's soldiers was high.

After several rounds of attacks by the Idar people, they all collapsed to the ground like corpses without exception.

It's not that he didn't consider the cards that the Idar people had, but he never thought that the Idar people would have such reliance!

It was not an arrow, but a weapon that he had never seen anywhere before.

But there is no doubt that this weapon is far more powerful than ordinary arrows!

He couldn't even catch the trajectory of the attack with his naked eyes, and the Odin soldiers in the front row fell to the ground.

"Can anyone tell me...what kind of weapon is that?"

Marshal Portia said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words came out...

These Odin warriors, who originally prided themselves on their powerful fighting strength, all wilted at this moment.

They are just a bunch of fools who only know how to fight and kill! "That is the power between heaven and earth..."

Just when Marshal Portia thought he could not get any more information out of him, a slightly suppressed voice came from the shaman on the side.

The power between heaven and earth, this is another name for the magical element by animists, and it also represents another view of magic by the Odin people.

"What?!"

Marshal Portia looked at the High Priest of Odin, Pramon Heiman, who was accompanying the army in the expedition with a look of surprise.

Sensing the magical fluctuations coming from not far away, Pramon Heyman nodded and said angrily:

"Those evil pagans actually stole the power between heaven and earth, and used this power that should not be controlled by humans to create those damn weapons!"

"This kind of weapon can only be mastered by the believers of Animism. The enemy's actions are a blasphemy against the gods! It is an absolutely unforgivable crime!" The high priest was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Marshal Portia was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

According to the high priest, this weapon can actually harness the power between heaven and earth...

The Odins must master such weapons! After hearing the words of the high priest, Pramon Heiman, Marshal Portia's goal became more determined!

We must win!

He continued to look towards the hillside not far away. Even though the tragic scene before his eyes made Marshal Portia's body tremble slightly, but...

After all, he was an experienced veteran who was accustomed to seeing killing and blood.

Therefore, after the initial shock, he quickly adjusted his thoughts, calmed down again, and calmly observed the scene that looked like a massacre not far away.

Yes!

Under the continuous shooting of the Idar people, although the morale of Odin's soldiers declined, the generals behind them had not yet issued an order to retreat, so... they were still trying their best to charge forward.

However, anyone could see that as the soldiers around them fell to the ground one by one, the first group of soldiers who charged had already become a spent force.

Perhaps it would only take a short while for the psychological defenses of these Odin soldiers to completely collapse.

after all……

In such a short period of time, Odin's soldiers had suffered hundreds of casualties and left behind countless corpses.

Meanwhile, they couldn't even touch the sleeves of the Idar people, let alone kill the enemy...

If they were not afraid that their retreat would bring shame to their families and make them despised by their relatives and friends, they would have been defeated in the hail of bullets by the Idar people long ago.

You must know that in the national culture of the Odin people, deserters on the battlefield are objects of scorn by everyone, and any cowardly behavior and action will bring shame to his tribe and relatives.

It is precisely because of this that they are able to force themselves to move forward and then face death in the midst of deep tension and fear.

At this moment, in the eyes of Marshal Portia, those Odin soldiers who fell one after another were like chess pieces that had to be abandoned in order to defeat the opponent. They were the price that had to be paid to achieve victory.

The reason why he let those Odin soldiers who had suffered heavy damage continue to attack was that he wanted to observe the power of the new weapons possessed by the Idar people and find the flaws in them.

only……

Marshal Portia still found it difficult to find an opportunity to exploit in the dense firepower network constructed by the Idar people with new weapons.

…

biubiubiu——

The infantrymen of Idar, armed with the "Persuader I" submachine guns, were divided into three groups.

While one group was firing continuously and indiscriminately, the other group of Idar soldiers took the opportunity to replace the magic crystal "magazine" that had run out of magic power.

The third group of Idar soldiers is smaller in number and is responsible for finding those escaped fish that have not been hit by the magic rays and are crawling slowly forward.

Amid the dense gunfire, Idar Army Chief of Staff Sarah Cullen stared at the scene in front of him, and felt her whole body trembling! Those Odin soldiers who were invincible in the past fell to the ground in front of the position in rows like wheat being harvested! He had never seen such a fighting method before, and it was the first time he saw the "Persuader I" magic submachine gun that the Idar people were proud of being used in actual combat! So that's it!

This is the reason why the Idar people dare to take the initiative to attack! Although the Odin people know nothing about the strength of the Idar people, Sarah Coren, an officer of the Idar Army, knows the strength of the Idar Territory very well! The magic cannons around the Idar soldiers have been waiting for the opportunity and have not yet fired! Moreover, behind this fortress, there are Idar Territory's cavalry and Idar Griffin Knights waiting to fill in at any time! At this moment, looking at the Odin army not far away, whose number far exceeds theirs, Sarah Coren actually felt as sure as Sam Layton.

At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about the strength of Idar Lord, nor did he have any doubts about whether Idar Lord could defend the eastern part of the empire.

Faced with the ironclad facts, he was even somewhat glad that he had made the decision to take the initiative to surrender to Lord Idar.

After this battle, no one can ignore the powerful military force of the Idar people!

Perhaps there is not much difference in physical fitness and personal force between the Idar people who are full of martial virtues and the Odin people who are "kind fathers and filial sons", but the difference in weapons and equipment is the most fatal!

This directly resulted in the continuous charging of Odin's soldiers being unable to cause any damage to Idar's army!

At least until now, the forty or fifty meters distance in front of Idar’s army position is like an insurmountable natural barrier, reaping the lives of Odin’s soldiers one by one!

Idar's army is so terrifying! ...

"Marshal! Let them withdraw!"

In Odin's army, the cautious Edson O'Sullivan suggested.

This time, however, the war faction, led by Monleto Namigala, rarely raised any different opinions.

After all... no one was sure that they could charge into the Idar people's position and cut off the military flag under the Idar people's hail of bullets!

What's more, according to what the high priest had said before, it was an extremely powerful weapon!

"Absolutely not!"

High Priest Pramon Heyman roared angrily. On his neck, the necklace made of teeth rustled as it rose and fell violently.

Marshal Portia couldn't help but frown as he watched Odin's soldiers lying in a pool of blood.

In the face of the new weapons displayed by the Idar people, the culprit behind the encirclement and suppression of Raymond O'Sullivan and the Odin Iron Cavalry he led has become clear: it must be the Idar people!

There was no need to mention any of the other forces they had previously speculated. Although they were reluctant to admit it, the Idar Territory in the east of the empire definitely had the ability to surround and kill Odin's cavalry! "Wait a minute..."

Marshal Portia's expression changed slightly, but he still insisted.

Of course, he also felt sorry for the Odin soldiers who fell under the guns of the Idar people, but... in the absence of a better way, he could only rely on such a tragic way to test the confidence of the Idar people.

biubiubiu——

This was the sound of the Idar people pulling the trigger. Rays of magical energy shot out and pierced through the bodies of Odin's soldiers. The scene not far away looked like a massacre!

The number of Odin soldiers who were still able to stand was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. They fell one after another, but the firepower of the Idar people did not weaken in the slightest!

"marshal!"

At this time, a general who had been sent out by Marshal Portia to investigate the surrounding situation finally came running over.

"How's the investigation going?!" Marshal Portia asked hurriedly.

"Both sides of the fortress are covered with trenches dug and obstacles set up by Idar's army, making it difficult for Odin's cavalry to bypass and encircle them. However, since the terrain here is open and flat, there are not too many trenches and roadblocks. If the cavalry's speed is slowed down, some places can even be bypassed!"

"So... if we can have some infantry to help fill the trenches and move the roadblocks, we can definitely outflank the enemy!"

Hearing this, many generals present looked at Marshal Odin Portia Mariano.

At this moment, the decision made by Marshal Portia will undoubtedly affect the direction of the entire war.

Should we withdraw from this place and consider other options... or should we put all our forces on the line and go all out? As a famous general of Odin, Marshal Portia, who had won many battles in the wars over the years, had not felt such heavy pressure for a long time.

What should be done? Marshal Portia pondered silently.

At this moment, the lives of tens of thousands of Odin's soldiers are closely linked to his choice!

If they continue to move forward, even if they can win, Odin's army will be seriously damaged, or in other words... a tragic victory is the best result he can expect!

But if we retreat at this time, the sacrifice of Odin's soldiers will be meaningless!

Because Marshal Portia was almost certain that once he retreated, it would be impossible to return the eastern part of the empire to the rule of Odin monarch Areo O'Sullivan, let alone before the spring plowing, even after the spring plowing was over.

Let’s do it!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After a moment, looking at the Idar flag flying on the hills in the distance, Marshal Portia finally made a decision.

No matter how painful the price, he must win this war!

Not to mention how great benefits occupying the eastern part of the empire before the spring plowing will bring to the Odin Empire, once they win this war, the new weapons in the hands of the Idar people will become their spoils of war!

The commander of the Idar people is there, the terrain is favorable and the numbers are superior. This is the best situation that the Odin people can face!

Moreover... Having seen the power of this new weapon, Portia Mariano deeply knows what an exaggerated achievement this will be! For this goal, even if all the more than 13,000 Odin soldiers under his command are wiped out, it will not hesitate!

because……

Once the Odins also have such weapons, the strength of the Odin army will more than double! "One battle will determine the outcome!"

Marshal Portia finally made a decision.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Odin generals present suddenly became serious. The tension and worry in their expressions gradually disappeared, and they were replaced by a fearless fighting spirit! Indeed!

The Idar people have powerful weapons, but... they are the Odin's Iron Cavalry! They are the unrivaled Odin's Iron Cavalry that roams the continent! "Go ask the high priest to come and knock down the ball floating in the sky first!"

After making the decision, Marshal Portia immediately issued the order.

Since we have decided to fight Idar's army to the death and rely on the powerful mobility of the cavalry to outflank the enemy, then the eye floating in the sky must be eliminated!

Odin's High Priest, Pramon Heiman, readily agreed to Marshal Portia's request.

In his opinion, whether it was the flying ball owned by the Idar people or the weapons used by the Idar people, they should all be the property of the Odin Empire! They belonged to the Animism!

If Marshal Portia had not repeatedly emphasized that he did not want to expose the fact that there were shamans in the army, Pramon Hayman would have wanted to shoot down the ball in the sky long ago!

But what they don’t know is…

With the telescope, Sam Layton couldn't see the hair on every Odin man, but he could definitely see the high priest with colorful face paint at a glance! After receiving the request from Marshal Portia, the high priest Plamon Heiman led his attendants to the hill on one side of Odin's army.

Although all he had to do was cast a spell similar to Fireball to shoot down the balloons floating in the sky, but...

As a priest of Odin, I still have to put on a show! How can I communicate with the power of heaven and earth with a bunch of ordinary mortals like you? How can I show the extraordinaryness of being a priest?

Therefore, as a powerful high priest, he must find a quiet and high place to perform the ritual! ...

"The Odinites' scattered scouts are starting to return!"

"Odin's cavalry begins to move to both wings!"

On a hot air balloon,

Two Idar Air Force scouts were keeping a close eye on the movements on the ground.

While holding up a telescope to observe the movements of Odin's army, another soldier waved a flag in the direction of Idar's army.

This is sending a signal! "The elite soldiers of the Odin Empire begin..."

"Wait... there seems to be a shaman performing a ritual over there! The target should be us!"

After a brief silence, the two scouts looked at each other and one of them said, "Send the movements of Odin's army to the ground first!"

Hearing this,

The other nodded firmly.

Before they became Idar Air Force scouts, their superiors told them about the dangers they might face as a scout.

Once the hot air balloons with fragile defenses are hit by the enemy's long-range attacks, they will fall from the sky and will surely die!

But even so...

No one backed down! Because behind them was the Idar Lord!

It is the people of Idar led by the great Count Bruno Stuart!

…

The high priest's attendants jumped back and forth, holding up colorful animal hairs. The high priest, Pramon Heyman, was also muttering something. As the bonfire that had just been lit gradually died out, a strange light flashed in the high priest's eyes.

"~&as*!=tehg@*%mk.>/!"

The moment the spell was finished, a dark green flame shot out from the skull on top of the withered wooden scepter, and then... went straight towards the hot air balloon hanging high in the sky!

huang——

Intense flames burst out from the sky, and the hot air balloon that was originally hanging high in the sky suddenly caught fire.

After that, the shaman's spell detonated the magic crystal bomb carried by the hot air balloon. A huge roar resounded through the sky, accompanied by splashing flames, and everything on the hot air balloon was blown to pieces by the magic crystal bomb! In fact, according to common sense, the shaman's spell could not detonate the magic crystal bomb that was set up with layers of insurance.

but,

The scouts on the hot air balloon could not be sure whether the falling magic crystal bomb would explode the moment it touched the ground, or whether it would cause damage to their own troops nearby, so...

Before the shaman's spell came, they opened the safety set on the magic crystal bomb in advance...

No regrets even if I die!

The huge roar made Sam Layton raise his head with a complicated expression.

He already knew that there were shamans in the enemy's army, but...

Since the beginning of the war, the high priest, who is the spiritual leader of Odin's army, and many shamans have been hiding in Odin's army. This made it difficult for Sam Layton to find the shamans for a while, and also prevented the magic cannon from launching an effective counterattack.

and……

Even if he discovered the shaman's trace, he would not necessarily let the magic cannon bombard him before the shaman took the initiative to attack.

Because according to Sam Layton's plan, the purpose of the magic cannon is more to block the charge of Odin's cavalry!

But,

At this moment, the scouts on the hot air balloon used their lives to provide the Idar army with the location of the shaman!

Sam Layton no longer hesitated. He shouted in a deep voice: "Artillery!"

"Lock on the enemy's Shamans and the Odin Cavalry on both wings! Get ready to fire!"

Go for it! I have a recommendation!
