Chapter 524: The Flame Demon Legion Appears (Subscribe)
On February 22, 316 of the New Divine Calendar, the second day of the Battle of Verdun, it was still the Habsburg Empire that took the lead.
It was early morning, the sun had just risen, and the mist had not yet completely dissipated, but the artillery positions had already been set up, and at the command, they began to be quickly loaded, activated, and launched.
Boom boom boom boom!
Along with the roar that resounded through the heavens and earth, flames spewed out from the spreading smoke, and shells drew arcs and landed on the battlefield.
Then, the earth shook, and fragments flew everywhere, mixed with soil and grass, hitting all directions and bringing terrible lethality.
The only thing the soldiers who remained in the trenches could do was hold their heads tightly, mouths wide open.
They chanted prayers in voices that only they could hear, asking for the protection of the gods.
Then, die in the artillery fire!
The artillery bombardment lasted for a full hour, and the area covered by the heavy magic cannon was plowed over and over again.
Then fighter jets clear the area to ensure air safety;
It was the bombers that flew low over and destroyed the last fortress;
It's the infantry charging, the flamers burning the tunnels, and finishing off the remaining enemies...
The same steps, the same process, but still so efficient, still so unsolvable.
The Bonaparte Empire was not unprepared, but all its preparations were so absolutely crushed that not even a ripple was created.
Even an extraordinary and powerful person cannot withstand the repeated bombardment of artillery fire.
This time, the empire took only half a day to capture the second line of defense. If necessary, it could continue to advance.
After receiving the flowers, Luo Yi once again took everyone to sit in the screening room to watch the live broadcast, but after watching the same thing twice, they no longer felt as shocked as before.
However, just when they thought the battle was over, something unexpected happened.
Above the battlefield, a legendary strong man suddenly descended. Under the vast magical fluctuations like the sea, a scroll made of black dragon skin slowly unfolded.
Even though he was a legendary wizard, he still looked quite exhausted.
As he moved, the evil power of the abyss spread outwards, as if full of vitality, clinging to the space and continuously spreading outwards.
The change came very suddenly, but the empire also has strong people guarding it.
A legendary mechanical wizard suddenly appeared from the clouds. With a wave of his magic wand, a black gun barrel appeared out of thin air.
The diameter of the muzzle was as tall as a person, and the magic patterns on the surface were obviously stacked, with countless layers.
As for the real gun mount, it was hidden in the clouds and fog and could not be seen clearly at all.
But when the magic power flowed over it, the sense of threat it brought was so great that beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the legendary wizard who was chanting the spell.
boom!
With a loud bang, the space trembled, and the sea of clouds collapsed, revealing traces.
The muzzle was breathing in and out, tongues of flame were flowing, and a huge cannonball shattered the air, dragging a tearing trail, and arrived in front of the legendary wizard.
However, at this moment, another person appeared in front of the legendary wizard. He waved his wand, and the fluctuations of magic power turned into ripples in space, twisting it to make the shells disappear.
When it reappeared, it was already in the air more than ten miles away, and a chain reaction explosion occurred.
A mushroom cloud rose up, and the blazing light and heat spread outward. Wherever it passed, one could almost hear the sound of space breaking apart.
Just this one strike made the two legendary wizards break out in cold sweats even though they were at a great distance.
You have to admit that mechanical mages lack precise control, but when they are stacked in sufficient numbers, they can burst out extremely terrifying area damage.
As for this shell, if he had not chosen to divert it but instead took it head-on, even if he was a legend, it would be hard to say whether he would have been unscathed.
Then, before the aftermath dissipated, the gun barrel in the sea of clouds lit up again, and magic power surged visibly. It was obvious that the mechanical wizard was not ready to give up.
However, the legendary wizard no longer dared to stay where he was.
He waved his staff, the space fluctuated, and the figure disappeared, reappeared, disappeared again, and reappeared again, and was already hundreds of meters away.
A legendary wizard, the king of long-range attacks, actually felt that it would be safer to fight the enemy in close combat.
Facts have proved that his choice was right.
Although the Mechanical Legend was not afraid to fight another Legend with magic, the terrifying fortress cannon had to be put away.
In an instant, a terrifying elemental explosion was heard above the sea of clouds, turning into endless turbulence and spreading in all directions.
Even if you didn't see it, just feeling the aftermath was terrifying.
Of course, this is not the end.
Another fourth-order natural disaster rushed out, and from a distance, it used all its strength to slash with its fighting spirit, as if to split the sky and the earth, and it passed straight across.
Around the legendary wizard, a disaster wizard appeared and instantly cast more than ten protective magic spells.
The collision of fighting spirit and magic shattered more than ten defensive magics. Finally, it was exhausted and diverted to other directions by an advanced deflection force field.
But at this moment, a gunshot was heard, crisp and pleasant, and still clearly visible in such a chaotic battlefield.
Before the smile on the Scourge Mage's face could bloom, he was shot in the head, like an exploding watermelon.
His body had no support and fell straight from mid-air.
The next second, gunshots rang out again, and the specially made armor-piercing bullets were aimed at the legendary wizard.
But in this moment of delay, a fourth-level knight appeared in front.
He held a large thorn shield in his hand, and gathered rich water-based fighting spirit, then blocked it diagonally.
Then, after a "bang" sound, the bullet drew a long gash on the thorn shield and flew into the sky.
But at this moment, another magic spell fell, and the black light ray fell on the thorn shield. This shield, which was originally as thick as a mountain, actually collapsed like sand.
Another bolt of lightning fell, like a swimming dragon, shining blindly, as if it would burn the entire space to a crisp.
But at the same time, another lightning shield rose up, with twelve sides, spinning rapidly, flashing with lightning, resisting all attacks and repelling all metal substances.
According to the experiments of the mages, this magic is the most effective for bullets. It can deflect the trajectory and ignore most metal bullets.
Even artillery shells can be ignored unless they are heavy artillery shells with extremely exaggerated fragment impact force.
Just around the legendary wizard, another disaster wizard appeared and supported this thunder magic.
But the Empire responded very quickly. Under the turbulent magic power, a meteorite fell directly from the sky, accurately locked onto the target, and smashed down with a tail of flame!
No matter how powerful the lightning shield is, it is powerless in the face of such unreasonable meteorite collisions.
But another berserker appeared in the air. He roared and went into a frenzy. Blood-stained fighting spirit rose and lingered around his axe.
With a roar that resounded through heaven and earth, he swung his axe.
His figure was so small, but this fighting spirit seemed to be able to sweep across the sky and earth, and finally slashed the falling meteorite.
boom!
With a loud bang, part of the meteorite shattered, and flames fell like rain.
But this axe failed to completely break the meteorite into pieces.
However, this Scourge Berserker was cautious.
He slashed from the side with this blow, which directly deflected the direction of the flaming meteorite, and it brushed past the legendary strong man and fell to the ground, leaving a terrible deep pit.
Another Scourge Knight rushed forward, riding a stone-iron dragon and charging aggressively.
The one facing him was an archer. His ears trembled, he stretched out his bow, and shot out an arrow like a meteor chasing the moon.
It is hard to describe the chaos that occurred in such a short period of time!
On the side of the Empire, dozens of strong men took action one after another, using their most proud magic, fighting spirit slash, or specially made armor-piercing bullets, throwing them out like a bombardment.
The coalition forces, on the other hand, put up the most solid defense, fighting bravely, using protective skills, magic shields, their bodies, weapons, and even their lives.
With the legendary wizard as the center, hundreds of powerful natural disasters entangled together and engaged in a brutal offensive and defensive battle.
A fourth-order natural disaster, what kind of situation would that be?
For an ordinary aristocratic family, if they can produce one person, they can be guaranteed not to decline for decades.
Even a traditional marquisate could only support two or three people.
But what about now?
Hundreds of natural disasters fought here, blood was like rain, and corpses fell like mortals. In a short time, no one knew how many died.
Of course, not all powerful Scourge warriors are good at melee combat. There was a Scourge assassin who carefully avoided the battlefield and reached the rear.
Thus, a sharpshooter who focused on sniping and had at least two natural disasters killed under his command was killed.
But the assassin's whereabouts were exposed and he was targeted by other strong men.
From then on, the entire sky battlefield became increasingly chaotic and continued to spread outward.
However, overall, the Empire was at a disadvantage. Although its attacks were sharp, it was difficult to penetrate the core.
When it comes to foundation, the Habsburg Empire is still a little lacking after all, which is why they are reluctant to easily start a high-end battlefield.
Even though Verdun was the breakthrough point for the empire's main attack and many strong men were transferred there, it was still no match for the temporary gathering of the Bonaparte Empire.
Of course, this offensive and defensive battle did not last too long, because the legendary wizard in the center finally finished his spell.
As a result, the scroll of the dragon skin was completely shattered, and the turbulent power of the abyss turned into a big hand, directly tearing a hole in the space.
It was a crack in the air, tens of thousands of meters long. Through the crack, you could see a red world.
Then, with a heart-shaking roar, surging magma flowed down and turned into a waterfall.
When the red magma came into contact with the earth, it immediately spread in all directions, creating a magma river in a short time.
Then, bubbles were seen rolling in the magma, and twisted demon heads rose up, took steps forward, and then walked out of the magma river.
Big Demon, Burning Demon, Powerful Demon, Lava Demon, Strong Demon, Berserker Demon, Demon Warlord...
Also, every once in a while there will be the largest, most powerful, and most arrogant fire demon!
Under the restraint of the Fire Demon, they did not launch a charge immediately, but lined up in front of the lava river.
The number increased, and eventually became so dense that it was impossible to count.
And behind the crack, in the lava, a huge head with a crown of fire rose up.
Kadum, the Lord of the Balor Fire Demon, revealed his whereabouts. His eyes, burning with flames, crossed the planes and stared greedily at this new world.
"So many, so many, so many delicious and fresh souls!"
"My Fire Demon Legion, charge ahead and bring the most delicious snacks to your master!"
“Kill, kill, kill, kill!”
at the same time,
At the rear of the battlefield, the commander-in-chief of this battle, the new crown prince of the empire, stared at the magic mirror in front of him.
The corners of his mouth opened into a huge arc, and his roar seemed to shake the roof down.
But this is the only way to vent his emotions.
Then he said, "I knew it, I knew it. These shameless people, the disgrace of the nobility, these sons of bitches, will definitely resort to this trick at the critical moment."
"They couldn't defeat them, so they resorted to all sorts of vicious tactics to bring in the Abyss Legion."
"Those church clergymen, one after another, shouted that light is eternal and darkness is dispelled, but when the evil is right before their eyes, they pretend not to see it."
"Who is the one who made the move this time?"
"Oh, the Balor Flame Demon King, which layer of the abyss is he on?"
"I don't care if he dies!"
"I want to let them know that the Habsburg Empire is not to be trifled with, and the same tactics won't work every time."
"Notify the front-line infantry corps to retreat, retreat first!"
"Tell the artillery unit to fire six rounds at full speed! Fire!"
"Finally, yes, it's the Magic Tank Battalion. We've been holding back for so long, and now it's finally time to unleash our might! Go ahead!!!"
"I want to let them know that in front of the King of Land Warfare, even the Flame Demon Legion is nothing but chickens and dogs!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
