The demon's offensive continues. These monsters from the bottomless abyss continue to emerge like a tide, charging round after round.
Faced with the fierce artillery fire and dangerous mines that burned down the empire, they adopted the most primitive means to counterattack - relying on low-level demons to consume the empire's artillery shells and eliminate the empire's mines.
Countless primitive demons and cowardly demons rushed towards the wall of the empire under the orders of the higher demons.
Most of them were blown into coke and powder by the dense rain of artillery shells. Only twenty-three out of ten of them got through the blockade by chance and came to the minefield, and soon triggered the trap buried underground
In this way, if the Abyss Legion wants to advance the front ten meters, it often requires the lives of thousands of low-level demons.
Such an exchange seems unequal, but there are more than hundreds of millions of low-level demons in the bottomless abyss. The number of original demons and cowardly demons in the layer controlled by Gerrazak alone may exceed this number. .
For the demon commander, these low-level demons are cheap consumables. Their value is not as valuable as the empire's cannonballs, mines, or even a bullet.
Anyway, if the demon dies outside the abyss, he will still return to the blood pool and be reborn. Let these guys die, and it will be profitable no matter what, as long as they can conquer the Ember Empire.
Continuous explosions, deaths one after another, and firelight illuminated the earth in the dark night as if it were daytime, and the demons in the shadows had nowhere to hide.
This offensive continued until dawn, until the sun gradually rose, the morning glow dyed the clouds red, and the arcs of artillery fire were still crisscrossing the slightly dark sky.
The ground was covered with the charred corpses of demons. These corpses even covered most of the ground, forming a strange "soil", and there were even hills made of corpses.
When the cannonballs fall in those "hills", the demon's corpse will explode suddenly, and the broken body and limbs will fly everywhere.
But even the most sophisticated artillery in the empire needs to cool down and rest. It cannot carry out bombing around the clock, and the artillery's energy is also limited.
But the devil is different.
They were born from the chaos of the universe, endlessly spreading evil and chaos.
In the second half of the night, the earth was riddled with holes, and the entire wasteland was lowered by three feet, and was filled in with the corpses of the cowardly demon and the original demon
At this moment, the demonic frenzy has gradually approached the empire wall, reaching an area more than a thousand meters away from the defense line.
"Crack!"
"Those cowards only dare to hide behind and throw iron balls. As long as they fight at close range, they will be torn apart by us!
Mortals are always so weak and incompetent, and are only worthy of becoming the food of our demons and the nourishment of the great abyss! ”
The soul-killing demon waved its long whip, and the giant bull demons like mobile fortresses let out a dull roar and blew out bursts of smoke. The vlo demon flapped its wings in mid-air and made a noisy scream.
"Roar"
"Ouch."
However, the cowardly demons and original demons were still crawling and twisting one after another, crowding and charging at the forefront of the demonic tide, swarming towards the wall of the empire.
I saw thick cannon barrels appearing in the solid fortress, and the black muzzles were pointed directly at the demons, followed by fierce flames.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
There was still the familiar sound of shaking, smoke filled the air, and fire was rolling. Explosions appeared again and again in the demonic tide, once again blasting the demon at the front into charcoal.
Burnt blackened body parts fell from the sky like rain, but the demons were still roaring and charging.
For these lowest-level demons, the orders of the superiors are everything. There are often cases where a certain demon lord transforms the entire legion of timid demons into berserk demons on a whim.
Just in front of this defense line, which is several hundred meters long, there are tens of thousands of demons charging. The raging black tide spreads across the earth and sky, almost occupying the world in front of the defense line.
"Too many"
"It's not enough, the firepower is still not enough!"
George held a telescope and looked at the situation in the distance with a solemn expression and murmured to himself.
This time, he had high hopes from his superiors. The station he was responsible for was a key area in the theater and related to the security and stability of the entire defense line. There was absolutely no room for negligence.
The sound of the artillery in the bunker was so loud that it was almost impossible to communicate at a normal volume. He turned his head and shouted to the adjutant beside him: "Let the people on the other side of the fort continue!
You must not stop without my order! ”
"Yes, leader!"
The herald quickly nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly set off, waving the instruction flag, to convey orders to other battalion stations.
The adjutant said: "What about the machine gun team? There are also those specially transferred from above."
George just observed the scene in the telescope, stretched out his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's not the right time yet, wait a little longer"
George also came to the window of a bunker, set up a fixed machine gun, and aimed at the demon in the distance. "How on earth do the damn abyss bugs reproduce? They can't even be killed."
He couldn't help but curse secretly.
Due to the cross-bombardment of more than a dozen defensive forts, hundreds of demons fell every second.
But under the command of the high-level demon, the demonic tide still surged forward, stepping over the broken and blurred corpses of its kind without a care, as if it would never retreat.
The demons' ferocious, twisted faces and noisy and harsh voices were getting closer and closer to the empire's soldiers.
The hands of the soldiers holding the guns were shaking slightly, and sweat fell from their foreheads.
Too many.
There are simply too many.
It didn't look like an enemy army, but more like an unstoppable natural disaster, like a black avalanche in the wasteland.
The distance between the demon tide and the defensive front is also constantly shortening.
One thousand meters.
Nine hundred meters
800 meters
At 600 meters, George suddenly pulled the trigger in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire! Hit me!"
Suddenly, tongues of fire spit out from the dozens of windows in the defense line bunkers and the hundreds of cold metal barrels protruding from the windows.
For soldiers, after hundreds of trainings, this has formed muscle memory and will not go wrong no matter what.
"Da da da——"
“Da da da da da——”
The bullets swept over like a violent storm, and the dense firepower network intertwined between the demon and the defense line.
The hundreds of demons in the front row were instantly beaten into a sieve. Clusters of blood bloomed on their bodies, and then they fell one after another.
However, these machine guns showed no sign of stopping.
"Death to you bug from the abyss!"
George also held the gun and looked around with a serious expression and slightly red eyes.
“Da da da da da——”
"Boom! Boom!"
Bullets poured out with a sharp whistling sound, and more shells fell into the demon group.
Demons continued to fall, and even the demons that were so aggressive just now had to flee.
By the time those gun barrels were red and hot and had to be cooled down with cold water, only thousands of demon corpses were left on the wasteland in the distance.
"They retreated! Those demons retreated!"
"Long live the Empire!"
"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"
The soldiers cheered and hugged each other in the bunker, excitedly celebrating the victory.
However, George's face was still full of solemnity. He knew very well that the demon's retreat was only temporary, and they must contain a greater conspiracy.
My mission is far from complete. This is just the beginning of this war, not the final outcome.
Sure enough, a rough, dull roar came from the distance, as if coming from the wilderness, filled with the smell of blood, making people feel instinctive fear - it was the fear of prey against predators, and the fear of pigs and sheep against butchers.
"Roar——"(End of this chapter)
