After eight loud noises that shook the world, there was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
Whether it was the insect swarm or the Eagle Master, they all stopped at this time and stared blankly at the battlefield cleared by bombs.
The originally dense black insect swarms on the ground were gone, and there were only eight huge black clouds left on the ground, covering the entire ground.
The power of the bomb far exceeded the soldiers' imagination. Even if the big canister hanging under the parachute was filled with explosives, the power of the explosion would not be so great.
Everyone in the Eagle Division is very familiar with artillery shells and bombs.
What's more, the soldiers on the battlefield could clearly see that the big can had exploded before it hit the ground, spreading out a thick white smoke, and then a violent explosion occurred in the smoke.
At this time, the Ocean Flyer roared, carefully avoiding the huge dark clouds rising from the ground. Its huge body turned slowly in the sky, and its fuselage tilted slightly, as if it was observing the effects of the bombing.
Immediately afterwards, several dazzling but extremely short flashes of light flashed across the fuselage.
Those soldiers who took the picture immediately understood that it should be the light of the camera's flash.
It looked like someone took photos of the explosion specifically.
The people on the Oceanic Flyer seemed to be very satisfied with the bombing effect. It circled twice around the bombed site, took several more photos from various angles, and then turned around and flew south, quickly disappearing.
Above the clouds.
Looking at the retreating figure of the Ocean Flyer, everyone on the ground was asking the same question: What was that thing that just exploded?
However, no matter what those eight extra-large bombs were, they were weapons belonging to the coalition forces. For the soldiers of the Eagle Division, this was enough.
At this moment, a high-pitched bugle suddenly sounded from behind.
The officers were suddenly shocked and raised their weapons one after another, shouting: "Kill back!"
"Brothers, follow me~!"
"Kill them all."
"..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the bombs to clear the gap in the insect swarm, under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers of the Eagle Division rushed northward with great morale and once again pushed the front forward.
At the same time, in the No. 2 Military Station, Archmage Lester also grabbed Lorraine's arm tightly and asked eagerly: "What on earth is that? What on earth is that..."
Lester thought that he had long been numb to Lorraine's ever-changing tricks. This guy could always come up with some weird but very useful things that surprised people.
Far away there are steam engines, muskets and cannons. Their appearance has completely changed people's way of life and the way they fight war.
The nearest one is the Ocean Flyer. Although it was transformed from a war fortress, no one can connect this weird aircraft with a war fortress.
If he said he made a mistake, it would be better to say something. At best, everyone would just laugh at him.
And the scary thing is, he actually changed it.
This new type of aircraft maximizes the load capacity and range of the War Fortress, allowing it to fly calmly across the entire ocean with ease.
As a result, the self-esteem of many high-level alchemy experts who call themselves "Aowaoshou" is very embarrassing, which is too embarrassing...
The same thing, two things, three things, or five things can still make people amazed. New things come out every month and are put into the market to provide services. Slowly, everyone has become numb.
If Feiying Group doesn't come up with new products in any month, it's news.
At least Lester thought that he should be numb. Based on his experience as a great mage, although the things Lorraine had created were novel, as long as he had the patience and a little thought, he could figure out the principle.
But when he saw eight fireballs exploding one after another, wiping out all the death knell beetles within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area, Master Lester's Forbidden Curse could not calm down again. This was not a bomb, it was simply a spell. And it was the highest level of fire.
Department of magic - explosive fire.
Lord Lorraine did not expect that Lester thought he was a robot cat. There were endless super-era technological products in his dimensional bag, and he would take one out and sell it for money.
But even if Lord Lorraine knew about it, he probably wouldn't care.
Seeing the old man's eager look, Lord Lorraine estimated that if he didn't satisfy Lester's curiosity today, he would pester him.
Therefore, Sir Alex spread his hands and said honestly: "You can call it a cloud bomb. A more vivid name is an air fuel bomb."
"Air fuel..." Grand Magister Lester murmured while stroking his beard. He was also well-informed and experienced. Just from this name, he could think of many things.
Lord Lorraine recalled the origin of the Cloud Explosive Bomb, showing a bitter smile that was not a bitter smile, and said: "The great invention of alchemy is actually a by-product of a failed experiment.
An idiot at the Compound Research Institute of the Alchemy Institute messed up an expensive experiment, and the laboratory was filled with this mixture of gases.
The idiot didn't pay attention, and a violent explosion blew off the roof of the laboratory.
All the old hens for miles around were frightened to death, and the old ladies claiming compensation carried their dead chickens and surrounded the institute alive and well for three days."
Having said this, Sir Alex couldn't help but think of the situation at that time, and couldn't help but shake his head, sincerely admiring the strong quarrel ability of those old ladies.
Lester frowned and asked in confusion: "Since there was such a big explosion, all the data must have been lost. So, how do you know it is this kind of thing?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "It's very simple. The unlucky guy escaped because of his urgency to urinate. Although he was injured in the explosion, he survived tenaciously."
"Tsk, tsk," Lester smacked his lips, with a somewhat dumbfounded expression on his face, and said, "I don't know if he is lucky or you are lucky, he can avoid this."
For mages, accidents happen one after another in research. They are used to it. Mages are dealing with extraordinary powers. It is common for them to accidentally cause fire.
It is commonplace to blow up your own laboratory, freeze yourself into a popsicle, and create an explosive head with electricity.
The number of mages who die from laboratory accidents every year is around double digits.
Sir Lorraine shrugged and said: "Originally, I thought that it would take a few more years to climb the technology tree before we could develop a cloud explosive bomb. Unexpectedly, it just happened by chance."
Lester didn't know what he was thinking of. He sighed and said with some boredom: "If you give me a few more years, we mages might all be unemployed."
Then he looked at Lorraine strangely, as if he had never seen the lord before.
Lord Lorraine scratched his head and said, "What's wrong?"
Lester shook his head and sighed: "You boy was born to be the nemesis of our mages. Look at what you have made, it is all the work of our mages.
I estimate that in a few decades, the mages who cannot find a job will definitely hate you."
Lord Lorraine didn't care, and said: "The times are always progressing. Being stubborn will only make you be abandoned by the times."
"I'm not listening to your preaching." Lester waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's talk about your air-fuel bomb. Its principle is obviously different from ordinary bombs."
"As the name suggests." Lorraine explained seriously: "The air-fuel bomb is to fully mix explosive fuel and air, and then detonate it. It has the advantage of a wide explosion range and is several times more powerful than ordinary bombs."
Lester nodded slightly and said, "I kind of understand."
"What's more," Lord Lorraine pointed to the battlefield in the south, "when the fuel explodes, it can quickly consume the oxygen in the surrounding air.
Even if you are not killed, you will suffocate due to lack of oxygen. It is also very effective against enemies in trenches and bunkers.
The Ocean Flyer rushed all the way from Nai'an, just in time to enter the battlefield."
Hearing this, Lester also changed his color a little, and said: "You can still pump out the oxygen..., hiss, you are almost equivalent to a large-scale compound killing magic."
The only Forbidden Curse Mage in the world frowned and said: "Can your cloud explosion bomb be produced in unlimited quantities?"
"Theoretically..." Lord Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Unlimited mass production means unlimited throwing. As long as there are enough ocean fliers to drop dozens of cloud bombs at once, what kind of enemy will be flattened? Who can stop it?
Lester was a little disappointed and murmured: "Not only are ordinary mages unable to survive, do we magisters also have to lose their jobs?"
Vera rolled her eyes at Lorraine beside her. As Lester's close disciple, Vera was usually very loyal to her teacher as long as it did not involve core issues of principle such as gold coins and snacks.
At that moment, Jiansheng comforted him: "Teacher, don't be frightened by him. The young master said it's possible in theory, but he means it's not possible in practice."
Lord Lorraine bared his teeth and smiled, originally to scare Lester.
Lester suddenly realized that the two gangsters Lorraine and Leo, one big and one small, were the best at deceiving people. They adhered to the principle of not telling lies, but never telling the truth, and they only used words that were ambiguous and easily misunderstood.
To fool people.
Sir Lorraine did not feel embarrassed at all when his lie was exposed. He laughed and said: "Although the current actual production is very limited, and due to the high cost of extraction, the danger of manufacturing... and other factors, it is currently only a laboratory product.
It is also difficult to manufacture in large quantities in a short period of time. But in the future, mass production will definitely be launched in the future."
Lester snorted coldly and cursed secretly: You are a scoundrel who can't keep his mouth shut.
At the same time, I feel a little confident in my heart. At least it seems that alchemy cannot take away the military deterrence status of the magisters for the time being.
But...but the time left for them to become uncles is not long.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again, and for a while he couldn't help but be a little pessimistic about the future of the mages.
But it was Lester himself who predicted that the new alchemy would destroy the future of magic.
He looked at the thick smoke that gradually began to dissipate in the distance, and thought to himself: Could it be that the noble mages can only become the lackeys of the capitalists who smell like copper in the future?
Seeing that Lester was in a bad mood, Vera immediately winked at Lord Lorraine, her little mouth pouting so much that it could hold a bottle of oil.
Lord Lorraine flattened his mouth helplessly. If he didn't follow Miss Vera's wishes, he would have to eat unpalatable canned fat for a long time in the future.
The Duke let out a long sigh and said: "However, its shortcomings are also very obvious. It cannot be launched directly. It must be hung on a parachute, and it will be greatly affected by the wind.
If the weather had been different, I wouldn't have used cloud bombs today."
"Why?"
"Think about it, when the bombs were dropped, a gust of south wind blew over. If the wind blew the parachute astray and landed in our fortress, it would mean that the enemy would have succeeded.
Although the fortress is strong, it cannot withstand the explosion of this bomb. The oxygen will be burned out and the soldiers in the bunker will not be able to escape."
Lester was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, nodded while stroking his beard, and said: "Yes, yes, that's the truth.
No matter how great your alchemy is, there are still shortcomings that cannot be overcome. Only spells, and only spells, are perfect."
"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right." The lordship said perfunctorily, against his will. After all, this old man will be used in the future, and no matter what, he must make him happy.
After the cloud bomb bombardment, the morale of the insect swarm that had been in an offensive posture suddenly dropped. The intensity of the attack on the No. 2 Military Station was greatly reduced. Instead, they rushed southward, focusing on blocking the Eagle Division's attack. In order to stop them
Reinforce the barracks.
The fight between the two sides was not too fierce.
It seems that the commander behind the insect swarm was frightened by the power of the cloud bombs. In order to avoid being destructive bombing by the cloud bombs again, the death knell beetles were dispersed during the attack.
They didn't know that the cloud bombs just delivered were all of Lorraine's property.
The battle continued until dusk. The Eagle Division took the initiative to retreat and break away from the insect tide, but the enemy did not continue to pursue them and still surrounded the No. 2 Military Station.
The battlefield fell silent for a while.
After dinner, it quickly became dark.
With a pistol on his waist, Lord Lorraine led several of his officers out of the gate of the headquarters and patrolled the fortress.
Both sides of the trench were crowded with tired soldiers. Their energy had been exhausted by the day's fighting. Now they were leaning against the cold stone wall, holding their guns and sleeping soundly.
Seeing Lord Lorraine and the people from the command headquarters appear, an officer on duty jumped up and wanted to wake up the soldiers to salute. Lord Lorraine waved his hand at him, indicating that he should keep quiet, and then walked over quietly.
After the war, the battlefield showed a different kind of silence. Lorraine walked among the sleeping soldiers, secretly thinking about when this battle would end.
At this time, a low whistling sound sounded in the distant night sky.
The soldiers in the No. 2 Military Depot were shocked and woke up one after another. They were all very familiar with this roaring sound, which was the sound coming from the war fortress through the air.
After the day's battle ends, the coalition's war fortress will take advantage of the truce at night to deliver supplies to the No. 2 depot.
Hearing the sound, the soldiers of the logistics force who were resting near the landing site all stood up. The sound was very close, indicating that a war fortress was about to land, and they had to prepare to transport the materials on the war fortress.
Moreover, there seems to be more than one war fortress coming. The landing site is limited, and the soldiers of the logistics force must act as soon as possible.
This is destined to be another busy night.
The war fortress in the night sky is getting closer and closer, and the roar is getting louder and louder.
The soldiers on the ground raised their heads in unison and looked mockingly at the nervous fool in the sky. If he didn't slow down when he entered the field, he would have to do it all over again depending on how he stopped.
Because two war fortresses were lost in the battle, the current mages are all extremely cautious. In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, they keep their speed very fast.
In this way, if something happens, you can use the high mobility of the war fortress to escape quickly.
But in the eyes of the ground army, this became another powerful proof of their cowardice and fear of death.
At this time, the flare in the sky went out, and after a brief period of darkness, another flare lit up in mid-air, illuminating the surroundings and also illuminating the hazy figure of the war fortress in the sky.
Lorraine raised his head and looked at the edges and corners of the war fortress illuminated by white light, and suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart: the lines of the Maple Leaf Danlin War Fortress were not so stiff.
"No~!" Lorraine's face suddenly changed.
Before Lord Lorraine could say anything, a green ball of light shot out from the war fortress and headed straight towards the soldiers on the ground.
The green ball of light hit the ground and splashed around like water. The skin of any soldier who was contaminated by it would make a hissing sound as it was being burned, and the flesh would fester at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A scream immediately erupted from the crowd.
Then several more light balls of different colors flew out of the night sky and smashed straight into the fortress.
"Enemy attack~!"
The soldiers who woke up screamed in panic, rushed to the surrounding trenches, jumped into the trenches and hid.
Several dark pyramid-shaped war fortresses flew past the No. 2 Military Station.
‘Woo~~woo~~’ the air raid alarm sounded.
There was chaos in Camp No. 2. The resting soldiers jumped up and rushed to the trench closest to them.
At this time, more and more whistling sounds were heard, and dark spells shining with various lights fell into the No. 2 Military Station like raindrops, splashing up clouds of green venom and black poisonous mist.
The Undead War Fortress, which had disappeared for a long time, appeared out of nowhere and launched a sneak attack on the No. 2 Military Station under the night sky.
The fortress fell into brief chaos. The night sky above was full of undead war fortresses flying and circling. Soldiers ran around to avoid attacks from the air.
At this time, the clicking sound of insects running suddenly sounded outside the fortress, and a loud shout came from the bunker on the front line: "The insects are coming up again~!"
Obviously this was an attack planned by the enemy, and the coalition forces attacking the fortress were caught by surprise.
As the shrill whistle sounded in the camp, the officers shouted loudly: "Get to your positions and prepare to fight." (To be continued...)
