Chapter 526: 524: Tanks Bombard Demons (Two in One)
Any weapon, as long as it appears in the public eye, will always be studied in various ways to find a targeted solution.
Therefore, in order to maximize the power of the magic tank, Loyi was even willing to let the coalition army attack the Flower Territory, causing countless losses.
As for the Habsburg Empire, no one knows how much work it did to conceal the news.
From the secret training of the crew members to the covert transportation of the magic tanks, and then from the Empire to the front lines, every line in between and every person involved must be considered, considered, and considered again!
Even when they arrive on the battlefield, they will directly open a temporary portal to allow these tanks to cross long distances and rush to the battlefield.
I have done so much and worked so hard just for this moment!
When the magic tank drove into the battlefield, countless people stood up in shock.
Some looked ecstatic, some had drastic changes in expression, and some were moody and unpredictable.
Many people were even unwilling to believe their own eyes, and did not believe that the magic tank led by Flowers had arrived on the battlefield silently.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether they believe it or not, because the magic tank is already roaring on the battlefield.
There are ten portals, with a total of three hundred tanks, which means that each portal can transport thirty tanks.
The first tanks that were sent over were not idle either. With the roar of their engines, they rushed into the battlefield.
These crew members had already drunk the potion before entering the battlefield. Their five senses and acuity had been developed to the extreme, and they were all in a state of extreme excitement.
The fire demon being blown away was just the beginning. The subsequent magic tanks were unwilling to fall behind. They all aimed at the raging fire demon and opened fire one after another.
Some fire demons reacted slowly and chose to resist, but most of them were blown away by the tank's main gun.
But some reacted quickly, swinging their battle axes from a distance and detonating the shells.
They were not the type to just take a beating without fighting back. They raised their hands and created huge fireballs and threw them out.
An abyss fireball as big as a washbasin fell from the sky and hit the tank, naturally causing quite a shock.
But that’s all. A steel object weighing up to 60 tons is not so easy to break through.
He accelerated, ran over the flames, and rushed forward.
After entering the battlefield, two heavy machine guns opened fire, sweeping in all directions, while the main gun continued to lock on the Fire Demon and fired directly.
At this time, the Flame Demon was actually still fearless.
Even as the vanguard, there are more than a dozen Fire Demons appearing. As the king of the Balor Fire Demons, Kadum has a natural appeal to the Fire Demon clan.
However, when the second, third, and fourth batches of tanks entered the battlefield, they could no longer hold on.
At the front of the battlefield, they were still fighting with tanks, using their agility to play around and looking for weaknesses to attack.
But behind them, three or four tank main guns were aimed at them, and once locked, they would open fire directly.
I just want to ask you if you are afraid?
Of course, there were demons that tried to attack the tanks. There were many demons flying in the sky, trying various methods.
Dive attacks are completely ineffective. The armor is at least 300 mm thick, so it doesn't care about the devil's claws and cold weapons.
Only some magic can harm tanks, such as strong acid corrosion, flame scorching, magma melting, etc.
However, it takes some time for these magic spells to take effect.
For example, the abyssal fire that fills the field has extremely high temperature and can harm the soul.
But the problem is that you have to burn through the armor first, or transfer the heat to the inside of the tank, before you can cause effective damage.
But the problem is that these tanks run around at lightning speed and will never stay in one place, so the damage they suffer will be greatly reduced.
Of course, there were tanks that were damaged as well. A fire demon even lay directly on the tank and, relying on its own high temperature, melted the magic patterns inside.
When a tank stops moving, it is not far from destruction.
But what the Flame Demon didn't expect was that even in this situation, the crew still chose to fire the shells.
The barrel was deformed and the shell exploded directly in the barrel, engulfing the crew and detonating other shells.
Then, at this moment, the sixty-ton object exploded from the inside, the expanding gas sent the top of the turret flying out, and countless parts shot out in all directions.
This was the first tank to be completely destroyed on the battlefield, and it happened earlier than anyone expected.
However, no one thought the destruction of the tank was worthless.
Because, I don't know whether it was bad luck or interference that caused the fire demon to fail to escape at the last moment.
Instead, he flew directly into the sky with the explosion, and unfortunately, when he fell, his lower body was crushed by the tank.
Even though he was a fire demon, he was forced to stay in place at this moment. Then, on his side, another tank had adjusted its gun barrel and aimed it at his head.
boom!
The 130mm tank main gun has unparalleled direct fire killing power. Even a fire demon would be blown into pieces by a single bombardment.
As the blood and fire of the abyss splashed in all directions, it seemed as if one could faintly hear the roar of the abyss's will.
No one thought that the destruction of the magic tank was not worth it, because, in a one-for-one exchange, a top-level demon species, the Fire Demon, also died.
There were only a dozen or so fire demons like this on the entire battlefield, but there were three hundred magic tanks.
Of course, at this time, the empire also began to show its power.
First, the anti-aircraft artillery positions opened fire one after another. The gun mounts rotated rapidly, the muzzles adjusted, and fired a series of powerful high-explosive bombs that exploded in mid-air.
The targets were all flying demons that attacked recklessly.
Then, a red lightning flashed across the sky, as precise as a scalpel, drawing a strange arc, and the demons along the way fell one after another.
Even though he was attacked by more flying demons, he was still able to rely on his extremely fast speed to get rid of them.
However, it didn't last long, and another 'buzzing' sound was heard, accompanied by the 'da da' sound of bullets, sweeping across a group of demons.
The Empire's combat flight squadron finally arrived.
With them around, the sky battlefield is no longer exclusive to demons, and the threat faced by the magic tanks below is much smaller.
Hundreds of tanks charged forward and finally came into the closest contact with the demons on the ground.
A burly demon became interested in this steel monster and actually tried to stop it with his powerful physique.
As for the effect, there are some effects, which is that the tank's engine roars and consumes more magic energy.
Then, it was pushed forward, plowing two deep marks on the ground.
Until the sturdy demon's strength ran out, his body softened, and he was caught in the tracks, and a tragic roar was heard.
Even a powerful being like the demon is made of flesh and blood. Under the pressure of a sixty-ton object, it was crushed into flesh and blood.
This is not an exception, but the norm!
I don't know when it started, but the magic tanks have been lined up in a row and are constantly advancing forward.
Beneath their tracks is a road paved with the blood and limbs of demons.
In front of them, the crossfire network formed by heavy machine guns was like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the lives of the demons.
From time to time, the tank's main gun would roar, and the terrifying direct firepower had terrible kinetic energy, and each shot could plow a path of flesh and blood.
The final explosion will shatter countless demons into pieces.
Of course, there were also demons trying to attack the tanks, using close range swords and axes, and long range magic attacks.
But when it falls on the tank armor that is constantly galloping forward, there is a sense of powerlessness.
Ping pong, but it can't cause much damage!
It felt like a savage encountering a fully armed knight in plate armor.
Even if they had more people, even if they tried their best, they would only leave a few marks on the armor.
At most, the skin was broken, but there was almost no substantial loss.
I don't know when it started, but the imperial infantry behind them caught up with them. They used tanks as cover and began to show their power with heavy machine guns and semi-automatic rifles.
Even the demons that managed to escape were torn to pieces by their bullets.
More and more demons emerged from the long river of lava, but they still could not stop the advancement of the magic tanks. Wherever they passed, they left behind only demon corpses.
This scene left countless people stunned!
The multiverse is well-known, and the demon army that has caused the fall of countless worlds seems to have become a bunch of useless people at this moment.
Behind the space crack, the Barro Fire Demon King Kadum looked at the steel monster that was getting closer and closer and seemed unstoppable, and his flaming pupils suddenly narrowed.
Even with his knowledge, he couldn't figure out what kind of creature it was, but he was unwilling to fail like this.
"In my name, Lava Wormmon, go!"
Moo!
Accompanied by a low roar, the magma created huge waves, rolled forward, and squeezed towards the space crack.
Then, a large mass of magma was seen wriggling forward, causing the cracks in the space to creak, and cracks appeared in patches on the edges, as if it could not bear the weight.
But in the end, it squeezed through and smashed into the lava river, causing a huge lava wave that knocked countless demons directly to the bottom of the river.
But this did not affect its movements. A huge mass of magma surged forward as if it were alive. It rushed onto the river bank, onto the battlefield, and defeated the demons that blocked its way.
It was not until it reached the front of the formation that it suddenly stood up and the layers of lava peeled off, revealing its appearance.
It was actually a monster similar to the abyss worm!
There are hatcheries in the Abyss, almost all of which are located on the banks of the River Styx. When soul fragments are washed ashore, they will evolve into demon eggs.
Of course, there are also normal bred demons in the abyss, including various abyss species, but the purest Tanarri demons are all born in the warming field.
However, these demon eggs are also very good food and supplements, and many demons like to rush in and eat these unborn ones.
But if this happens, the demons will not be able to hatch, so the abyss gave birth to the abyss worms as the guardians of the hatching ground.
When the devil's egg breaks, the first thing to be born is the abyss worm, and then it evolves into the little devil.
But some abyss worms only grow in size, no longer evolve into new forms, and continue to grow stronger, becoming the most special monster in the abyss, the abyss worm.
Of course, the abyss worm in front of him is different. It seems to have awakened the ability to control lava.
Although it looks like an enlarged version of a caterpillar, its body is covered with human arms and its head has antennae that move flexibly as if it is gathering information.
Beneath the tentacles was a distorted human face, which seemed to be experiencing changes in emotions such as pain, fear, wailing, and anger as it moved.
Its eyes were as red as rubies, without any emotion, only a bloodthirsty will to kill.
This is obviously a species patchwork, but that's how the abyss is.
In just one second, countless new species are born and countless new species die.
Here, the law of natural selection and survival of the fittest is strictly followed. Those who cannot survive are waste and need to be eliminated.
Only those who survive are qualified to go further.
"Moo!"
The magma worm suddenly straightened its body, and countless hands waved together, like conductors, splashing out countless magma.
The magma was like rain, some of it splashed onto the ground and melted directly into large holes.
Some of them fell on the demons, but with the resistance of these demons, they melted while howling miserably.
Most of it fell on the magic tank in the front!
For magic tanks, their magic resistance is the same as that of refined steel, so it is naturally not very strong.
What's more, the lava not only melted the steel itself, but also brought about an astonishing temperature, burning the crew members inside to death.
Under its attack, more than ten magic tanks broke down, some exploded, some caught fire, and some soldiers opened the doors and tried to escape, but were burned to death by the lava.
Seeing the success, countless demons cheered and roared, as if they had won a great victory.
However, there were quite a lot of magic tanks, and the tanks had already turned their turrets, aimed, and activated.
Amidst a series of roars, shells fell on the lava worm, blasting open huge wounds.
This caused the worm to howl miserably, as if it was in pain, but the lava covered it and washed it away, and it returned to normal again.
This is the ability of the lava worm. To it, the body is just a layer of skin that can be torn off at any time.
As long as the core is not destroyed, it is immortal!!!
At this moment, the imperial soldiers' forward steps stopped and expressions of fear appeared on their faces.
However, the soldiers in the magic tank did not stop. Almost at the same time, the commander issued orders.
The loader unloaded the original shell from the chamber, then took out the sealed missile from the side, carefully took it out, and loaded it.
Therefore, the second round of tank main gun bombardment was different. The shells did not explode when they hit the abyss worms. Instead, they were dissolved and poured out a stream of silvery-white water.
When magma meets water, it naturally produces a burst of water vapor, like smoke or fog, which seems to have no effect.
However, the magma worm let out the most miserable howl, and its huge body kept shaking, as if trying to throw away the thing clinging to it.
Its countless arms were scratching at its body, tearing its flesh into a bloody mess.
Looking again, the place where the shell landed had dissolved a big hole, and even if the magma covered it, it still could not be restored.
The power of this shell is beyond imagination!
However, the principle of this cannonball is quite simple. Since the bullet filled with holy water has the effect of exorcism,
The shells filled with highly concentrated holy water have the power to bombard demons.
Of course, this brilliant idea came a little late, as highly concentrated holy water was difficult to obtain and the shells had not been tested.
But the Empire still produced a batch and distributed them to every tank.
Then, this scene happened.
It turns out that holy water is always the most effective weapon against demons.
Seeing that it was working, the tanks behind no longer hesitated, replaced the holy water bullets, and fired continuously.
This time, the lava worm could no longer be arrogant. After enduring tremendous pain, it collapsed directly, turned into surging magma, and began to flee back.
But this time, the tank cluster was no longer willing to give the demons any chance. The broken tanks stayed where they were, while the others continued to move forward, lined up in a row again, and continued to advance.
This time, even the Fire Demon was unwilling to stay where he was.
They chose to flee, trampling the demons blocking their way and quickly fleeing towards the space crack.
Although they obeyed the orders of the Balor Fire Demon King, they did not really sell their lives to him, so they dared to choose to retreat.
Their escape completely triggered a frenzy of demon escape. Countless demons ignored the order and ran for their lives.
Behind them, the magic tanks continued to advance, getting faster and faster, and the distance getting shorter and shorter.
They chose to stop only when the lava river and space crack were within the tank's range.
Then they began shelling.
Almost half of the magic tanks chose holy water bullets and aimed at the lava river.
These magmas from the abyss will of course be contaminated with the breath of the abyss, and react with the holy water, causing smoke to rise and even making the cracks become hazy and misty.
This may not seem to have much killing power, but when the concentration of the holy fire increases, it will melt the breath of the abyss.
Without the support of the abyss breath, even the space cracks became fragmented.
The other half of the magic tanks had already used up their holy water bullets, so they switched to another type of warhead.
The bullets had a clear skull painted on them and were stored in dimensional bags. For this reason, the Empire equipped each loader with a dimensional bag, which was definitely a generous move.
When the shell was taken out, even the skilled loaders were very careful, fearing that it might be bumped.
This type of artillery shell was aimed at the location of the space crack. After being fired, it exploded directly at the space crack.
I saw clusters of silver dust spreading out, dotted like stars, which looked very beautiful, but they dissolved into the void the next second.
Then, the torn space crack seemed to be attracted by an unknown force, the cracks disappeared, and the huge hole slowly closed.
Since space can be torn apart, it can certainly be repaired faster.
Adhering to this concept, the Empire found a magical plant called 'Morgan Magic Grass'.
The space within a hundred meters of the place where it grows is extremely solid, and the gaps in space are pitifully small. Even the most mature teleportation magic may fail.
Many nobles would plant this magical plant in their own fortresses and cultivate it carefully in order to block the space.
The Empire extracted some substance from it and created this "space-bridging bomb" to target inter-dimensional space cracks.
It is not difficult to see from this that the empire has never given up on researching targeted means.
Unfortunately, although the artillery shells were developed, the maneuverability and accuracy of the magic cannon were too poor, making it difficult to accurately land on the cracks.
This "space-bridging bomb" can only be effective at the crack, and the maximum distance cannot exceed 100 meters.
So, after the research was done, it turned out to be useless.
Until this moment, until the magic tanks began to gallop into the war, it felt like the shells finally had a huge effect.
At this time, the only one who could stop all this was Kadum, the Balor Fire Demon King, who was behind the space crack.
However, even though he was furious and stretched out his lava hands several times, he still chose to give up when he touched the space crack.
It was not only because of the threat from the magic tank, but also because a huge black gun barrel stretched out from the sea of clouds, with magical light on it, as if it could be activated at any time.
Now, the legendary mechanical wizard has freed up his hands and is watching eagerly!
The two legendary wizards of the coalition naturally did not retreat, but were stopped by a man.
The man held a rapier in his right hand and a gun in his left hand. His face was dirty and he looked like he had not woken up yet.
But his gun is more terrifying than the most powerful sniper rifle. It can directly penetrate space and kill with one shot.
His sword can stir up storms and tear apart all magic. Even space teleportation will be shattered if it comes into contact with it.
This one, His Majesty Saint Hayes, is the founder of Hayes' gun and sword technique, and a powerful man who paved the way for the fifth-level legendary magic gunner.
When he appeared again, the two legendary wizards were very wary and did not dare to cast spells freely.
So, Kadum, the Balor Fire Demon King, watched helplessly as the space merged and the passage disappeared, doing nothing.
On another battlefield, the magic tanks continued to advance, cooperating with the infantry corps on the ground to strangle the demons.
The powerful demon army, at this moment, seemed as fragile as ants.
Until most of the demons were killed, a small number of them escaped and even crossed the lava river and began to attack the coalition's third line of defense, causing another round of chaos.
The war is over here.
The surviving Imperial soldiers seemed a little unbelievable at first.
Until a moment later, they burst into huge cheers.
Countless people threw their weapons into the sky, and countless others waved their hats and howled hysterically like lunatics.
But what you can't deny is that they have the right to vent!
The demon army had invaded more than once, and had been repelled more than once.
But this was the first time in Helka's countless years that he was repelled by these mortals below the third level.
At this point, on February 22, 316 of the New Divine Calendar, on the battlefield of Verdun, the Empire advanced again and broke through the second line of defense in just one day.
In this battle, the magic tanks shattered the invincible reputation of the Abyss Demon Legion. When the news came out, the whole world was shocked!
It was also on this day that Norman's Flower Territory, the birthplace of the magic tank, welcomed a long-lost guest.
