The sun is high - #431 - Chapter 430 Moving forward
After the cannon barrels pointing directly into the sky began to make continuous muffled sounds and vibrations, other weapons set up nearby, including the revolver rifles carried by the soldiers, also joined in the firing into the air.
The Dawn Society soldiers who had “acted” panicked before had now completely calmed down. They brought their own weapons and quickly and skillfully retreated to the vicinity of the heavy vehicles.
In this unobstructed flat area, these heavy, sturdy armed vehicles equipped with additional protection secrets have become the most important bunkers for soldiers.
Relying on the abundant fire cover around them, a considerable number of experienced shooters began to replace the bullets in their revolver rifles.
Soon, they completed loading the powerful crystal bullets. At the same time, a specially formed shooting team composed of mage apprentices was also ready to shoot. The weapons used by these mage gunners The revolving rifles are slightly different from those of ordinary infantry. Their barrels are longer and narrower, and they are equipped with sights that can be fine-tuned and calibrated. The revolving rifles are filled into the revolving magazine through “magic bows and arrows.” Special magic bullets generated by cantrips.
If a professional officer from the Kingdom of Votel came here at this time, he would be surprised to find that he could actually see many familiar shadows in this army reorganized by the Dawn Society.
Yes, within the Dawn Society’s army, whether it is the soldiers’ behavioral habits, equipment configuration, or the composition of the team, the wartime discipline implemented, etc., they can all be found in the Kingdom of Votel’s army.
Especially elite teams like the Chasseur Regiment are important cases for Dawn Society to learn from.
As Meyer told Sugar before the war broke out, he learned a lot during that dangerous military career.
Although he is not a real military strategist and has not conducted systematic training within those military academies, as a scholar who has personally experienced and learned on the battlefield and in the military, Meyer can also sum up a lot of experience. .
These experiences are two completely different areas from the battlefield knowledge and skills mastered by soldiers and officers.
When it comes to shooting, hand-to-hand combat, magic release on the battlefield, and many survival skills, the five Meyers combined may not be as good as one soldier. However, these are not what he really needs to learn and understand.
As the founder and leader of Dawn Society, what Meyer has to do is to sort out a rough and fuzzy framework based on what he has seen with his own eyes.
What he needs to know is not how to aim and shoot, but to figure out as much as possible what aspects the team under Dawn Society should focus on, what direction they should develop, and what mistakes they should avoid making.
Meyer does this part of the job very well.
In fact, that’s one of the reasons why his hair has been falling out so quickly over the past few years.
Fortunately, Meyer’s judgment in the general direction was basically accurate, and the members responsible for executing and promoting the development of the Dawn Society’s army were also doing their best to perform their duties.
Now, their efforts and dedication have paid off.
On this muddy plain, those new crystal cannons point toward the sky. It was vibrating and buzzing continuously, and a magic cloud with a pungent smell was floating around the soldiers operating weapons.
These warm smoke irritated the eyes, mouth and nose of every weapon operator, making them cry and cough constantly.
But even though they looked hideous and extremely embarrassed now, no one stopped shooting or reloading because of the interference from these external forces.
Because they have very intuitively seen the killing effect of shelling on those weird giant birds.
It is no exaggeration to say that the remnants and flesh and blood that fell from the sky have even been covered with the magic barrier built by the wizards of the Dawn Society.
The corpses of the Asaru giant birds, the blood-red magic blades falling from high altitudes, the debris generated by the bombardment…
Things like this should seriously hinder the gunners’ vision, but now, aiming has become somewhat less important.
They knew very well that under the current circumstances, as long as they could continue to shoot, they would be able to have an extremely effective suppressive effect on these dangerous strange birds.
The response method of the Dawn Society shocked everyone, including naturally those members of the Black Sun Society who rode on the backs of giant birds.
They are too dependent on the gods and powers they follow, so their understanding of new weapons is very shallow, especially for crystal cannons. Their understanding in this regard was even before the outbreak of the war!
Facing the magic clouds and deadly crystal shrapnel that exploded in front of them, their pride and confidence were smashed into powder like stones in front of a hammer.
This is completely different from what they imagined.
And things beyond their expectations are yet to come.
When the mages of the Black Sun Society wanted to use rituals to restrict and command the chaotic flocks of Asaru birds, they found that the violent magic turbulence caused by the bombardment had seriously interfered with the operation of their rituals.
In such a chaotic situation, the frightened and injured Asaru bird flock began to tilt in a disorderly direction.
In the understanding of the members of the Black Sun Society, although the Asalu Giant Bird is not a particularly powerful and terrifying Familia, it is at least a fierce predator led by the Moon Eagle.
However, they did not know that in that distant era, the Asalu Giant Bird was nothing more than a consumable on the fierce battlefield.
This is not only because of their limited actual combat capabilities, but also because, when faced with extreme dangers and threats, the Asalu giant birds often reveal their worst sides.
That is losing control.
Serious loss of control caused by cowardice and a nature that bullies the weak and fears the strong.
The rituals left behind by the Moon Eagle can only be used to summon and drive Asaru under normal circumstances. This kind of dispatch is completely different from real control, and it does not have strong binding force.
In fact, this flaw had already been exposed on the night when the mutation occurred in Watch City, but very few people paid attention to the matter. On that extremely important night, the attention of the members of the Black Sun Society was all Attracted to Shuge, Kozlov, and the powerful gods who might be summoned.
So now, they have to pay for their many mistakes.
In the concealed “Creeper” convoy, a soldier at the end of the carriage carefully approached the reserved shooting window. With the help of this window, he was able to see the ongoing battle behind him.
He was stunned because he saw those ugly strange birds that were originally very orderly flying around in the air. Some of them were trying to escape from the battlefield, some were scurrying around like headless flies, and many were heading towards The ground charged.
In other words, it was a suicidal charge.
Facing the deadly firepower network woven by the Kalfan heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft crystal cannons, any form of protection and charge lost its original meaning, although the blood-red magic power of the Asalu giant birds was enough to withstand the heavy machine guns. The impact of bullets, but when this layer of magic protection was torn apart by the magic explosion of the crystal cannon, they completely became fragile targets.
Even better than those silly reed ducks.
Not to mention the team of mage shooters who occupy a favorable position and shoot from the side. Coupled with precise sniping, the magic bow and arrow bullets are enough to kill those giant birds that are still under the control of the Black Sun Society mage. This kind of continuous death will Naturally, it turned into larger-scale riots and collapse.
“Hey, what did you see?”
“How are our people doing? With so much movement, those birds should be almost dead, right?”
“Don’t just fucking look, talk! Can you talk?”
Seeing the dumbfounded look on their companion’s face, the others crowded around the soldier became a little anxious. They asked several times in a low voice but still received no response, so they anxiously stretched out their hands to push the other person away, trying to squeeze in by themselves. They went up to look, but at this moment, the vehicle they were in suddenly shook slightly, and the officer who had been silent in the car coughed heavily.
“Go back to your place! Get ready to go! Hurry!”
The order from the superiors silenced everyone, including the soldier who was still immersed in the shocking scene. He reluctantly left the shooting window and returned to the seat of the carriage with the others, holding on tightly. The soft rope hanging from the roof of the car.
Almost at the next moment, the convoy took off its disguise and began to move forward. From this moment on, these new and modified vehicles showed the speed they deserve.
The so-called “creeper” actually refers to their excellent ability to overcome harsh terrain. When advancing at full speed, they will never be inferior to the vast majority of mainstream vehicles currently on the battlefield.
The main reason why they need to take cover when facing the advancing Asaru Birds is because of the mission they bear.
According to the information provided by Wei Lin and others, the Dawn Society has basically confirmed that there is an extremely hidden crystal artillery position in an area east of the frontal defense line of the Saint Steele army. Its location is very clever, and it is very possible. Steam railways have been connected to other strongholds in the rear. If this artillery position exists, then any attack on the frontal defense line may be suddenly hit by fatal artillery fire from the flanks at an extremely critical moment.
In fact, the St. Steele Kingdom can continue to transport more soldiers and materials to the front line through those railways.
Therefore, this convoy full of soldiers needs to seize the gap in the Black Sun Society’s battlefield communications, cooperate with those forward strongholds that have been controlled, and under the cover of precise artillery, attack this base as quickly as possible. Remove the vicious sting.
If conditions permit, then this assault team will also need to find ways to control the steam railway and potential trains temporarily built by the Kingdom of St. Steele. There are a lot of unknown factors in this, even if the Sword of Dawn provides a lot of There is no way to confirm the information with 100% certainty.
Therefore, for these soldiers participating in the raid, the next journey is destined to be full of danger.
And now, the movement of the convoy has shown that the prerequisites for launching the raid have been met.
The influencing factors, including the Asaru Legion and most of the Black Sun Society’s forward strongholds, have been successfully delayed or eliminated. Next, this volunteer team with the nature of a suicide squad can rely on the “Creeper” vehicle to Characteristics, he successfully crossed the muddy plains that should have been completely under the surveillance of the Black Sun Society, and launched an attack towards the predetermined target with an extremely stealthy attitude.
“Comrades, from now on, we are on our way home!”
In all the carriages, a rather vicissitudes of voice reached the ears of every member through interconnected magic rituals. This time, the speaker did not use lingua franca, but spoke with a strong local accent. St. Steele language.
The very familiar tongue snapping and slightly unclear articulation of the Saint Steele people made all the soldiers who heard this voice couldn’t help but smile. Yes, everyone involved in this operation is Saint Steele. Tyrians.
They are either members of the Miner Corps, or refugees who fled their hometowns in previous wars, or they are staunch opponents of the Black Sun Society who escaped from the original Saint Steele Army…
For them, the simple word “go home” has an extremely important meaning.
“They say that the eternal fire of life has been extinguished, and the loving Northern Mother has also left… This is all fart, and I can guarantee that the person who said these words is definitely not a real Northerner.”
“Let us prove it to them with the weapons in our hands!”
“May the vast snowfields and the cold winds of the north bless us!”
“For our hometown, for our motherland… for all the oppressed people struggling under the black sun… move forward!”
As the vehicle jolted, the voice of Commander Boris, who was nearly fifty years old, gradually faded away.
In the sky behind, the sound of explosions and gunfire continued.
The mages of the Black Sun Society who are responsible for commanding the Asaru Bird Flock have realized the seriousness of the situation, but at this moment, they have no other choice but to gather the birds as hard as they can and continue to attack.
Under the repeated charges and magic bombardments of the giant birds, the barrier built by the Dawn Society mages finally collapsed, and the battle immediately entered a more bloody stage. Under the cover of many lost magics, some giant birds successfully landed on those Beside the vehicle, those brave Dawn Society soldiers were strangled together.
The blood here is extremely rich, but this is just a small part of the entire “Operation Watch”.
In more directions, tragic head-on conflicts have also broken out. Under the witness of the black sun, the hotbed that once created countless negative emotions and soul nourishment once again appeared on the land of Van En.
