Chapter 71: In the blink of an eye, all the troops were wiped out (Part 2)
When the 30,000 troops of the Kingdom of Elbe were falling into scorching purgatory on the arid and desolate plains of Tellilia, near the Arnus Hills more than a hundred kilometers away, around the long-range rocket launcher position that caused this tragedy, But it was a noisy scene full of people.
——In the eyes of the indigenous residents of Falmat continent who were watching from a distance, there were steel monsters (bazooka launchers) arranged neatly in the wilderness, rows and rows of various thick, black and hard metal cylinders (long-range rocket launchers). ), the orange-red flames soaring into the sky, the sharp whistling sound that ripped through the air, the violent shaking that shook the earth... all of these seemed to be legendary visions coming out of myths, which stunned them who were ignorant.
When the rockets roared on the launcher, most of the "onlookers" present were shaken to their cores by the violent sound waves, and their ears buzzed. Many people with poor psychological quality even couldn't stand upright and sat down on the ground. Some people even had water stains on their robes and skirts... Then, they watched rockets from another world scratch the magic. In the night sky of the Ermat continent, most of the tens of thousands of indigenous residents who have now migrated to the Arnus Hills are shocked into a trance, and some people can't help but worship these "steel monsters"...
In the restaurant of the State Guesthouse not far away, a projector was set up, data cables were connected, and a white curtain was hung on the wall. Princess Pinna, Countess Miyo of Fomar and their maids, as well as the imperial opposition nobles who fled here, can clearly enjoy the live scenes of the two battlefields captured by drones. Due to the relationship between time and sequence, The first to be beaten was the 30,000-strong Southern Route Army Rangers led by King Duran - the image projected through the projector was accompanied by roars that tore through the air, and countless slender metal objects trailing bright tongues of flame, like heavy rain. Like pouring down. The sky-high flames and flying dust quickly obscured the entire field of vision, while the shock wave formed by the explosion and the shrapnel sweeping around were constantly harvesting the lives of everyone on the ground, setting off one bloody storm after another!
Many soldiers from the Kingdom of Elbe were torn apart by shrapnel before they could react. There were also people whose lower body was completely blown away, and their intestines were spilled all over the floor, but they were not dead for a while, and they were howling in agony. Those who were lucky enough not to be injured were running around holding their heads in their hands during the explosion, like headless flies, intent on leaving this flaming hell. However, people are still being hit by fragments, becoming torn into pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
——Watching the waves of terrifying meteors and fire showers falling one after another on the troops who were several days away, the audience present, no matter whether they were good at military or not, could not help but feel waves of fear—— For them, this is an irresistible blow!
It was only at this moment that most of the exiled nobles saw clearly how powerful and invincible the aliens were, and reluctantly admitted their own weakness and uselessness.
However, they, the spectators in the distance, can still sit in comfortable chairs, drink black tea or wine, and point at the scene of purgatory taking place in the distance. But those people in the Fiery Purgatory are really enduring the test of blood and fire with their lives...

Due to the limitation of ammunition, the actual duration of this long-range rocket bombardment was not particularly long. It only roared for more than half an hour, and the sound of the artillery gradually subsided. However, for the soldiers who were involved, this sudden attack The disaster has already lasted as long as a lifetime ago.
"... Damn it, this, is this... the God of Thunder being angry? Or is the world about to be destroyed?"
After finally surviving the rocket bombardment, King Duran, who was disheveled and covered in glory, cursed and tremblingly got out of the cave he had just hidden in. He shook off the branches and soil from his body, looked around blankly, and discovered the scene around him. It's terrible.
——The blazing fire illuminated the entire military camp at night, or rather the scorched earth that was once called the military camp. Around him, from near to far, there were corpses scattered everywhere. Most of them were soldiers from his Elbe Kingdom, and there were also some forcibly recruited civilians along the way and reinforcements sent by other princes. Many corpses were torn to pieces in the explosion, with intestines, blood, and brains flowing all over the floor. Some corpses looked relatively complete. There didn't seem to be much damage on the surface, but their mouths and noses were bleeding. The eyeballs also exploded, and the appearance of death was equally ferocious... There was a pungent smell in the still warm air, which contained the stench of many corpses, which was really disgusting.
The gorgeous royal tent where King Duran slept before was now gone. Only a few pieces of charred wood, cloth and animal skins were left on the ground, as well as a few scattered blackened limbs mixed in. Judging from the several pieces of incomplete armor and shields, it seems that they once belonged to his most Several of his favorite personal guards - if they hadn't rushed into the tent desperately and pulled Duran out, Duran would have been burned to charcoal by the fireball falling from the sky... And the flags and flags of each legion were The logo, too, was lost in flames and smoke.
The air was filled with unbearable heat, smoke and scorch. And the horrific corpses around him were even more disgusting.
In addition to the scattered dead and scattered embers, there are at least some living people left. As time went by, more and more surviving soldiers emerged from everywhere, slowly gathering together while looking at the miserable scene of purgatory around them with dull eyes. Some people had their hands or legs broken in the explosion and could not even walk steadily. They could only crawl and squirm slowly among the corpses. Although other people were not seriously injured, their faces were pale, and they had to support others to stand firm. Some people were so frightened by this catastrophe that they could only stare blankly. He was fascinated by the corpses around him and couldn't even speak - there was nothing he could do. The visual impact of the bombardment just now was too terrifying, far beyond the limits of human imagination in the cold weapon age. Not everyone was still able to Can continue to maintain the ability to think rationally.
Even King Duran, who had experienced many battles and was used to seeing life and death, was stunned for a while before he struggled to find a stone to sit down and poured some sweet wine from the jug on his waist to clean the wound. The other surviving officers and soldiers also relied on instinct to gather together one after another, and then by the flickering firelight around them, they barely recognized the embarrassed King Duran, so they hurried over and asked him for instructions. What to do next.
But even King Duran looked confused when faced with the current tragic situation that was simply unmanageable... What's more terrible was that before he could figure out what to do next, there were waves of disturbing sounds. There was a sharp scream and another round of rocket bombardment fell from the sky!
In an instant, except for a few people who were frightened, the remaining soldiers and officers all dispersed. Even the king who was sitting on the ground did not bother to pull him. Dulan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was about to get up to evade, but he stepped on the air and twisted his ankle. He immediately fell to the ground and could no longer move. He could only watch those damn things above his head. Exploded above...
However, compared with the previous purgatory-like meteor shower, the sound of the explosion this time became much weaker, and its lethality was almost non-existent. Instead, there were countless snow-white pieces of paper, following the slight explosions, falling from the night sky. King Duran reached out curiously and grabbed a piece of paper, and then with the help of the burning fire around him, he saw the lines of text on which the ink was still wet, and he was stunned:
"...We have done everything we can to be benevolent and righteous in the past...This shelling is just a small punishment. If you are lucky enough to save a life, I hope you can do it for yourself and leave quickly. Don't come back to die again, otherwise it will be inevitable. Don't call it powder. Unpredictable... Captain of the Arnus City Infantry Battalion (the indigenous people of Falmat continent understand urban management) Wang Qiu... Gods! This, is this not a punishment from the gods, but a weapon from an outsider? ?”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After more than half a day, a mixed convoy of jeeps, armored mine-protected vehicles, off-road pickup trucks, etc. arrived here carrying the Earthling rookie recruits from the Arnus City Urban Management Brigade and the violent female warriors of the Headhunting Rabbit. Clean the battlefield across a barren, scorched wilderness. A group of exiled aristocrats headed by Princess Pingna were also lucky enough to hitchhike to "visit" according to Mayor Wang Meiling's non-smiling "invitation".
At this moment, the military camp that had been bombarded by hundreds of rockets the night before was left with nothing but a horrific piece of scorched earth and corpses. All survivors who could still move, including King Duran, had already turned around and fled, embarking on a more difficult road back home.
There were only a few seriously injured people who were abandoned by their companions because it was difficult to move. They were already dying, and crows and wild dogs began to gather around them. When I saw someone coming, I immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and begged the other person to save my life... Fortunately, it was different from the shoot-to-kill situation in Italica City. Here, in order to show their demeanor as "civilized people", according to the special instructions of Mayor Wang Meiling, these seriously injured people in the Kingdom of Elbe received basic bandaging and first aid, and were loaded onto trucks and transported back to the Arnus Hills. .
But despite this, seeing the scene around them that was like a scorching purgatory, the imperial nobles who had fled to the Arnus Hills were still very heavy-hearted - the outsiders did not invest a single soldier in the battle at all. , at such a long distance, easily destroyed an army that could be called an elite by any standard. So looking at the entire Falmat continent, what force can resist their invasion?
Should we pray to the gods and use divine power to deal with these invaders? But this may not be useful. In this world, the so-called indigenous humans are actually immigrants from another world who came to the Falmat continent five thousand years ago through the "door" on the top of Mount Arnus. Since the gods did not prevent their ancestors from coming from other worlds to reproduce here, they will not be enemies of these Chinese people now.
For a moment, all the imperial nobles and senators felt deeply powerless, confused and frightened. However, out of some stubborn pride in their bones, they are still reluctant to come to the worst conclusion... But no matter whether they are willing in their hearts or not, they cannot help but admit the reality.
Looking at the gloomy faces of everyone, Princess Pingna resisted the urge to vomit, took a deep breath of the air filled with corpse smell, and then announced loudly, "...Now, you should all understand. , what kind of guys are coming from behind the door? It’s better to give up those vain ideas as soon as possible, and we must not try to plot against them, because compared with them, we are too weak!" br>
"...Then, do we need to bow down to these strangers of unknown origin and obey them like slaves?"
An imperial elder with a sinister face muttered unwillingly, "...How can our great empire bow its head and serve foreigners?!" "...Other than that, what else can we do?" Princess Pingna sighed, " ...As a weak person, you can only survive by obeying the strong!”
