Chapter 63 Part 1(1/2)
"Are you ready?" Diana turned to the group of elven magicians around her and asked.
The elf magicians all nodded. Then, starting from Diana, all the magicians began to use some kind of large-scale magic. As bursts of emerald green halo fell from their hands to the ground,
Then, vines like giant pythons emerged from the ground and began to weave in an orderly manner.
Their purpose was to build a new defensive wall, but the magicians this time were all Meryl Gil's elf magicians, so they could not build a strong high wall like the one created by the magicians of Algasburg. After all, the two
The abilities of the three magicians are very different, and according to Aurora, their kind of magic is the unique creative magic of Algasburg. I am afraid that even if the elf magicians are asked to learn it, they may not be able to understand it.
As for the wall that the elves want to create, it is just a structure composed of plants similar to vines. The defensive capabilities are naturally incomparable with hard rocks or compressed soil, but fortunately, the strength of this plant is not as strong as that of humans.
The masonry on the side is much weaker, and the toughness of the plants is quite good, and it has good buffering force against the impact of large monsters. But in my opinion, the most important thing about this kind of vine wall is that it can multiply and change its structure at any time.
In other words, during the battle, we can create new walls anytime and anywhere to hinder the enemy's attack, and this special vine itself is not flammable. If the monsters want to use magic to burn them, they must at least come up with something like a hundred
Only magic with the power of ten kilograms of napalm will do.
Strictly speaking, this is not a defensive bunker in the traditional sense, but more like an oversized magic trap. Our estimated coverage area is within a radius of 300 meters centered on the walled city, except for the innermost area.
The vines outside the defensive wall will lie dormant beneath the surface, waiting.
And our innermost defensive wall has completely surrounded the city after being woven and erected by magicians. It is a huge vine structure about 5 meters high and about 3 meters thick. Each vine is as big as
It is about the thickness of an arm, and the inside of the wall is wrapped with another ferocious thorn plant. Any monster that comes close to the wall will be strangled by these thorns that poke out from the gaps in the vines.
"I said...those vines won't detonate landmines, right?" I asked worriedly as Liz, Puffy, and I stood on a section of the newly built fence watching the vines that continued to spread outward.
Because we had just gone outside to lay out two minefields an hour ago, the direction of which was facing the two monster fortresses that were far away from us.
"Don't worry, the vines in that part are relatively sparse, and all the mines have avoided the growing position of the vines." Puffy looked up at the location of the mines for a while, then continued to lower his head and load bullets into the spare magazine.
I was surprised that Puffy was not in a good mood, because she was loading TAC-50 magazines. Since ours was still a "large-caliber package" this time, our main weapons were once again replaced by various
machine gun, and in order to specifically deal with the larger number of large monsters, I once again spent all my money and took out the TAC-50 that I had been reluctant to use and lent it to Puffy. But to my surprise, Puffy seemed to be very
She doesn’t like large-caliber rifles, so she has been depressed after getting the weapon. I don’t blame her for this, because it is indeed a terrible thing not to get used to it, but fortunately she is very sensible and does not object willfully, so
Now she can only let nature take its course.
"She's fine. She'll be fine after a while." Liz opened her mouth and asked, "Do we really not need to plant landmines on the road of Legion 1?"
"There's no need. There are all stupid people over there. It's a waste to use mines." I took a telescope to observe the brightly lit monster city in the distance and said calmly: "The response is really fast. It seems that they have noticed it.
Something is abnormal here, maybe scouts have been sent out, I think they will launch an attack in a while, and we don’t have much time left.”
We had started to renovate the city an hour ago. The large amount of magic halo and noise naturally alerted some nearby monsters, so since the start of the construction, we have killed and driven away more than a dozen groups of monsters that came to explore.
monsters, most of them are scouts sent from the monster city, and we also intentionally put them back.
In the previous meeting, we decided on the names of the monsters. The large walled city closest to us was called "Legion 1". Most of the enemies inside were clumsy ogres and slave kobolds, so we had to deal with this part of the enemies.
It's easier. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the leader of the stronghold. The rangers said he should be an ogre leader, and it seems that the thing is magic, because the rangers found a huge magic wand when they approached for reconnaissance.
, that kind of thing that symbolizes power can only be used by the leaders of monsters.
The other two are designated as "Officer No. 2" and "Legion No. 3" based on distance. The number of monsters in these two is about 5,000 or more. Unfortunately, the leader is unknown, but the monsters there are all
They are well-equipped minotaurs. Although I don’t know what they look like, I still got some information from Diana. They are more threatening than ogres, so they must not be underestimated. There is also the No. 3 Legion, the previous ranger.
We have already detected that there are a lot of ghouls inside, and they are also goblins. It would be quite troublesome to deal with these enemies, so I placed all the explosives on them.
On the way forward.
As for the remaining small and medium-sized monster cities, they are also named by numbers very casually. After all, they are not a serious threat, and some neutral wild monsters can only be handed over to Afu who is waiting in the mushroom forest.
Laura and the others responded, because Lavender's people were over there, and it was a waste of infantry to defend the city. After all, most of their troops there were melee infantry, except for a small number of archers.
They are all rough guys who wield swords and guns. The most they can do on the wall is to carry arrows or throw stones. Instead of being overqualified like this, it is better to let them go out to fight directly, using the flexibility of infantry and the mushroom forest.
It is more suitable to use the terrain advantage to target those large monsters.
As for the other humans, it doesn’t matter. Except for the crossbowmen, they are javelin throwers, and the javelins of the javelin throwers are also special products made by the elves using magic. Basically, there will be no scene of running out of ammunition and food.
.Maybe the only useless ones on their side are the knights like Miles and Marco, but they are quite suitable for carrying supplies and wounded people.
Thinking of this, I took a look at the large amount of weapons and ammunition on the other side behind me. Those were the supplies I asked Diana to take out in advance. All the combat needs I could foresee were basically ready. But in terms of the amount of ammunition, these
The thing is enough to support a company of soldiers in a high-intensity battle, but it stands to reason that I should focus on pre-battle preparations now, but somehow I always feel that something is missing. Standing on the wall, I
After looking around for a long time, I remembered that the stone man Kana seemed not to be here.
"Where are Ruby and Cana? They haven't come here yet?" I immediately asked Liz.
"We were here just now..." Liz pointed to the center of the city and said, "Ah, over there."
I looked in the direction Liz pointed and found that Ruby was still riding on the neck of the stone man Cana, but at the moment they were talking to Desmo, and the two of them were still reaching out to the side to gesture with something.
Confused on all aspects, I quickly took Liz down, while Puffy stayed on the wall and continued to prepare her weapons.
At this moment, the environment inside the walled city is completely different from when we first arrived. The dilapidated and moldy fur tents and stone houses have been demolished and replaced with rows of neat tents set up on clean and tidy grass. And
The elves also created many luminous plants to supplement the light source, so now the interior of the city is as bright as day. Of course, these light sources are not that dazzling, but they are much better than the previous darkness.
"Ruby, Desmo, what are you doing?" I walked to them after crossing a few intersections and asked, "The war is going to start soon, why don't you let Kana go up and prepare."
"Impossible." Ruby turned to me and shouted, "Kana can't go to that place."
"Why?" I looked at Ruby in surprise and asked, "Repented?"
"No..." Ruby shook her head hard and said, "Kana can't go up...can't go up...it will get damaged..."
The conversation between us seemed very general. Anyway, I couldn't understand what she meant. Finally, Desmo came out to explain.
"Kana really can't go up that plant wall because it's too heavy."
"What?!" I turned around and looked at the stone man in surprise.
It is indeed a little bigger than it was at the beginning, but by visual inspection it will not gain more than ten kilograms, and the wall made of vines is already full of Miles and the others, so I don't think 500 is a problem at all.
About kilograms of kana will collapse the vine wall which is explained like cement.
"You are wrong..." Desmo saw my doubts again, so he pointed at Cana and said with a smile: "It weighs much more than you expected, because it has just grown up, regardless of the inside or outside.
Its mass and strength have been enhanced, but it now uses special magic to support its own weight, making it look less heavy."
"That thing can't even support its weight?" I pointed at the wall curiously and asked, "There are nearly 300 people standing on it, can it be heavier than them?"
"Of course!" Ruby became inexplicably proud, pinched her waist, pouted, and looked at me with her little nostrils, which made me feel angry and funny.
"Okay... Even if this is the case... does that mean it is no longer useful?" I looked at the stone man Cana with some disappointment.
If you take a closer look now, you can see that some of the details on it have indeed changed a lot. If nothing else, at least it has "grown" a palm. The five fingers on the palm are like rough sculptures, but the size and thickness are different.
It is very close to the specifications of human fingers. It may not be used to pull the trigger, but it is no problem to use it to control a heavy machine gun. Even I thought before that a guy of Khanna's size does not need to consider the issue of recoil at all.
.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look back at the pile of munitions and supplies not far away. There was a dustproof cloth draped over a big guy in a conspicuous position. Not to mention anything else, just judging from the
That one-meter-high tripod can tell what kind of existence this thing is.
DShKM, this is the heavy machine gun I prepared for Khanna to use. The 12.7×108mm ammunition has unparalleled lethality, but it also has equal recoil. Even I am not willing to use this kind of thing in combat, but this
DShKM was one of the parting gifts given to me by the support staff of the mercenary company, so I had no choice but to accept it.
In terms of weapon performance alone, the DShK is indeed a very good machine gun. It can hit planes and tanks from above and deal with all kinds of light armor and infantry bunkers with ease. However, these advantages are just a thing of the past during the war years.
With the rapid advancement of post-war technology, this veteran battlefield hero has gradually been unable to keep up with the pace of modernization. There are many better and more excellent heavy machine guns than it, but even so, it has not been completely eliminated from the world.
At least they can still be seen in the third world and in the hands of militias everywhere.
I brought it here this time just to prepare for some special battle situations. After all, this thing is definitely a good choice as a stronghold defense weapon to deal with large monsters, so I took its existence into consideration when I made this defense plan, but at that time I
I didn't plan to use it as the main weapon. It wasn't until Kana appeared that I took it out without hesitation, but now... this cumbersome guy can't even climb the wall to participate in the defensive battle? This is really shocking.
People are disappointed.
"Oh... forget it, let's go back." I shouted to Liz in frustration and planned to go back.
But to my surprise, before I could turn around, someone grabbed my arm. When I looked back, it was Kana. Just when I was puzzled, Desmo waved his hands and used some seemingly incredible magic.
"Stand back, be careful not to get splashed with dirt." Desmo still smiled and gave us a reminder.
Ruby rode Cana and pulled me back a few steps, not knowing why. Then Desmo pointed his hand at the open space behind and punched the magic halo in his hand. After a while, I noticed
When I reached the ground not far away, a protrusion suddenly appeared. Then I felt a slight vibration on the ground. Then before I could react, I heard a "swish" sound, and the ground was like a blowout.
The arch came out, and before I could see anything clearly, I was hit with dirt on my face.
This noise is neither loud nor small. In short, I think the monsters in the distance should also hear it, but I have no time to worry about these things now, because by the time I react, the monster has already appeared in front of me.
A stone tower nearly 10 meters high.
I simply don’t know how to describe this building that suddenly appeared. Anyway, I was stunned for almost a minute before I slowly came back to my senses.
"This... this..." I felt like my tongue was almost tied up, and I could only point at the stone tower and glare at Des Mogan.
"Don't worry, this is the position prepared for you, go in and have a look." After that, Desmo took my hand and walked under the stone tower.
Only then did I notice that there was a gate at the bottom of the stone tower. Desmo pulled me and pushed the door open, and Liz and the others followed in.
The internal environment of the stone tower has a wide staircase as I imagined, but Desmo seemed unwilling to climb the stairs, and instead took us directly to the central platform inside.
"Come here quickly." Desmo waved to the door.
To be continued...
