"Damn it! Are all these monsters crazy?" I quickly put down the M60E4 machine gun in my hand because I had just fired out another ammunition box. Counting, I had already fired out 5 ammunition boxes in a row.

, it’s time to change to a weapon to let this heat dissipate.

I carefully pulled the machine gun and rolled it down to the shooting position where the sandbags were piled up, and then quickly glanced at the status of the others.

We have been fighting non-stop for almost half an hour. Looking at the piles of various bullet chains and shell casings on the ground, you can see how hard we have worked. However, the offensive of the No. 1 Army is still fierce. According to visual inspection, the number is definitely more than

There are thousands of kobolds and goblins in the intelligence. If you look at the corpses on the ground below, you can tell that the number of monsters in Legion 1 is definitely over tens of thousands. I don’t want to complain about the rangers’ intelligence.

But I am troubled and don't know why they are so desperate. This situation of being so unafraid of death is like a nightmare enemy.

"Oh hey! Karna! Cease fire! Cease fire quickly!!" I quickly put the M60E4 in the safe area and immediately rushed to the stone man Karna, because I noticed that the barrel of the DShKM gun it used was already red.

Thorough.

Speaking of which, this stone man is really a very good helper, but at present it can only be said to be good. Although it is indeed very smart, I only need to teach it once to learn how to use weapons, and it can still do it without any mistakes.

It obeys all kinds of instructions. But here’s the problem. It’s so obedient that it feels like operating a machine. It does whatever you ask it to do, and it doesn’t know how to do it at all.

Flexible in adapting, there was even an incident before where he thought he had not received the order to change ammunition and stood still after firing a box of bullets.

I ordered Khanna to remove the overheated DShKM from the shooting area and put it away, and then immediately rushed to the lift with it, intending to go downstairs to find a replacement weapon for it, and I felt that it was time to bring more grenades up.

, I only prepared one box of VOG-17M grenades before, but they were all used up by the monster attack below, and I also need a new machine gun, but judging from the current situation, I have all the remaining grenades.

It seems that there are only a few old-style machine guns left, and judging from the current attack intensity of the monsters below, the grenade launcher is simply not enough.

"Hey! Never mind, just bring them all up." I gritted my teeth and made a decision.

This is not something that can be decided easily. After all, I did not expect that this battle would consume weapons and ammunition so much. Considering that we will have to face the attack of the No. 2 and No. 3 legions later, I have not dared to waste it too much.

Heavy firepower. Most of the previous battles used machine guns, and the grenades only brought AGS-30 and a box of grenades. Even the RPG only brought one PSRL-1 and 5 OG-7V anti-personnel rounds, but

Now it seems that these are still not enough, because the monsters outside are really trying their best.

During the previous battle, I observed that the elf rangers on the wall were also desperately using magic arrows to carry out large-scale suppressive shooting. Although the effect was no less than that of our machine gun grenades, there was nothing they could do about it.

The monsters are attacking desperately, and the rangers are all made of flesh and blood. Our machine guns will hit the barrel until the barrel overheats, not to mention their physical fatigue. As for the humans, it is even worse.

Just now, I saw seriously injured people being carried off the wall for treatment. There were even more than 20 corpses piled up in the morgue. If we only look at the battle damage ratio, then ours

A battle can be described as an overwhelming advantage, but unfortunately, the actual situation is quite pessimistic. After all, we only have this few people here, and it is unlikely that there will be more battles in the future, so one person who dies will lose one person.

.

After thinking about it, we descended to the first floor of the stone tower, where we have transported all the weapons and ammunition to use as a temporary arsenal.

I walked off the lifting platform and quickly ran to the opponent's grenade supplies to check it out. Then I opened the weapon box where the RPG was stored and browsed the remaining ammunition.

"Kana! Move all these boxes to the platform! Quick!" After saying that, I ran to the other side to look for spare machine guns.

But just when I was looking for the machine gun, I suddenly felt someone pulling my clothes behind me. Although there are no guards at the entrance of this stone tower, I think everyone understands that this is not an area that can be entered casually, and can be allowed

There were only a few people coming in here, so I didn't notice what was happening at the door just now, and I wasn't even more wary. After all, I didn't think the person behind me was a stranger.

When I felt someone behind me, I panicked for a moment, and then I touched the holster under my arm warily and looked back.

"Huh? Ruby?" I was surprised that Ruby was here, and then I quickly pulled off the noise-canceling headphones on my head and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something going on outside?"

Speaking of which, the moment I pulled off the earphones, I heard the roar of machine guns from above my head, which was also mixed with the explosions of continuous firing of some large-caliber rifles. The density of these sounds seemed to be higher than before I came down.

I was in a hurry, thinking that the enemy outside seemed to be launching another strong attack, so I couldn't help but feel nervous, and then I stopped paying attention to Ruby's plan to quickly carry the weapons.

"Erica! This!" Ruby released her hands covering her ears in great discomfort, then took out a stack of paper from her pocket and handed it to me.

"What is this?" I knew she would not pass on useless news casually, because she has always been very sensible. But when I took the letter in her hand and opened it and took a look, I immediately felt my scalp numb.

The content on the letterhead was something that looked quite eye-catching. It felt like some kind of artifact that was made up of a pile of bones and flesh, and there were also several supporting tools that looked like big bones drawn next to it. I didn’t understand it at all at first.

I understand what this is, but this is obviously the information Desmo gave me. At the same time, I don't understand how she drew such a picture that is almost like a color photo.

The overall pattern on the picture is three ghoul-like ogres holding the big bone and beating the object in the middle. After looking back and forth for a long time, I vaguely felt that this seemed to be a drum, and these three ogres were

The human demon has never appeared on the battlefield, so I didn't recognize it for a while.

Fortunately, there is a brief topographic diagram below the pattern, and I looked at it in detail for a while and quickly understood what it meant. It roughly means that there are three cannibals about 450 meters to the west of our position.

Demons, they are beating this weird big drum. But Desmo drew a special mark in red on the location of the ogres, a circle with a cross. Doesn't this mean that we should destroy that thing?

.

I didn't think that Desmo would let us kill an insignificant character at this time, so I instantly determined that these three ogres and the big drum were the key to this battle, so I quickly commanded Kana

After carrying the remaining weapons and ammunition, I hurriedly planned to go up. Because I needed to actually observe the enemy's position, and 250 meters... this was not an easy distance for me.

"Ruby, go back quickly." I boarded the lifting platform filled with weapon boxes and shouted to Ruby who was already covering her ears and walking to the door: "Tell Desmo...'Thank you'!"

After that, I didn't wait to confirm whether Ruby heard it or not, so I quickly pulled the joystick on the platform to make the platform rise quickly, because time was running out and I didn't want to waste such an opportunity.

When the platform was rising, I quickly took the opportunity to check the weapons and ammunition I had brought.

"6 boxes of VOG-17M grenades and 7 boxes of 7.62×51mm NATO. Well... the 5.56×45mm NATO is almost used up. It seems that the MG4 is no longer used. Let Liz replace it with the Minimi 7.62. Over here

The ammunition is quite sufficient. Then there are... 5 RPG-27... 3 RShG-1... two boxes of TBG-7V, three boxes of OG-7V and one box of PG-7VL... Tsk, damn...

...No one here can shoot 450 meters away..." I sat on a box of RPG ammunition and scratched my head irritably, then picked up the piece of paper again and looked at it. On it, Desmo can use very

The accurate ruler marks the specific straight-line distance from the center of the stone tower.

"453.11m, Desmo, you are so considerate... Could it be that you want me to blow up that place with a 20mm high-explosive bomb..." Just when I was worried, I suddenly stepped on the VOG-17M at my feet.

grenade.

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and slapped my head hard with the palm of my hand.

"It's true that caring leads to chaos. How stupid am I! RPG doesn't have enough range but VOG-17M can!"

I jumped up and down excitedly, but I still didn't slap my face with my hands. At this time, the platform just reached the top. The moment we reached the top, I noticed Diana standing next to the lifting platform, waiting for me.

And she happened to see me taking pictures of her face.

This scene made me so embarrassed that I froze the moment I saw her.

"What are you doing?" Diana looked at me confused and asked.

"Uh... I... um... ah! That's right! This!" I quickly turned my mind and quickly thought of a way to change the topic.

“What is this?” Diana frowned as she looked at the letter I handed her. It seemed that she might know the origin of this thing better than I did.

"Do you know this thing?" I asked loudly while Kana and I were carrying ammunition. Suddenly I remembered to put on headphones so she couldn't hear what I said. Then I put down the ammunition box and quickly put on the headphones and turned on the phone.

The communication frequency was repeated.

There is nothing that can be done about this, because I noticed the noise problem during the previous blocking battle in the passage. I can say that it is okay, after all, I am used to the sound of these guns and cannons, but Liz and Aurora did not.

Not so adaptable, and there are elves who are more sensitive to sounds than humans. Diana, Puffy and Celine only relied on some unique little magic props to survive the extremely noisy battle.

But that kind of prop is a one-time thing, it will be gone after use, and they themselves don’t have many spares prepared.

So in order to deal with the noise of gunshots, we ordered a batch of special noise-canceling headphones from Desmo before the battle began. Of course, we don’t know why, but the price Desmo offered us was...

It was extremely cheap, so I did not hesitate to buy some more so that I could study the use of magic to maintain communication in the future.

"This thing..." Diana looked at the big drum in the picture tangledly, her eyes scanning every detail on it uncertainly, and finally seemed to come up with an answer she was unwilling to accept and said to me: "

The flesh puppet... no! It should be Hertogos... or a slightly lower level existence."

"What? Those three monsters?" I asked while controlling my volume.

"No..." Diana was about to say something, but suddenly we both heard someone else's voice coming from the earphones.

"Erica, what are you talking about? And Hertogos?" This was Liz's voice, and later we also heard Puffy's nervous mumbling.

After all, we don't have professional communication tools here, and everyone's headphones are adjusted to O"MIC status, so Liz and the others can hear what we say. At the same time, when Diana says "Hertogos"

While speaking, I clearly noticed that both of them had interruptions in their continuous firing, and especially Liz, I basically felt that her mind was no longer there.

"Don't worry, keep firing!" I quickly told them: "The enemy is not a scary thing, you don't need to worry about it. We are going to conduct a special bombing next, and the enemies below will be left to you first."

"...Understood." Liz was silent for a long time before giving me an answer. Although I felt that her voice was filled with some tremors, at least the momentum was not that decadent.

After finishing the matter here, I quickly dragged a box of grenades and pulled Diana to my previous shooting position, which was facing the direction of Camp No. 1, so I thought it should be the most suitable bombing position. At the same time, I

I also quickly greeted Khanna and asked him to quickly move the remaining two AGS-17s and set them up. After all, an AGS-30 would make me feel unsure. Anyway, there are enough grenades here, and the AGS-17

The range can also cover a distance of 450 meters. Three automatic grenade launchers bomb together continuously. Even if there is a live Hertogos on the opposite side, I am confident that it will be blown to pieces.

I didn't rush to load grenades into the AGS-30 first, but quickly picked up the telescope to observe the enemy's position. However, due to factors such as the dim light in the distance and the slightly undulating terrain, I couldn't find the target at first.

the location of.

"This thing is a clue provided by Desmo. I think it should be a key target... You should also come here and help me look for it. It is 450 meters away here..." I looked nervously at the position to the west.

Then he patiently inspected every plant and tree at a distance of 400 meters.

Diana did not reply, but walked to me silently and began to use her elf magic to detect the target location.

We are still in the midst of a fierce battle below. The enemy's army is almost within 50 meters of the wall. The vine barrier in the distance has been activated three times, and each time it can block and kill within a short period of time.

A large number of monsters were killed and a lot of pressure on the defense line below was relieved. But who said that this level of magic could be activated without restrictions, but it could not withstand the negative effects of excessive fatigue of the magicians. After all, they not only wanted

To maintain the output of these magics, the most important thing is to work with the rangers to suppress and annihilate the enemies approaching here.

There are also problems with the magic traps on the outermost defense line. At this moment, most of the traps there have been forcibly destroyed. The few remaining ones are no longer enough to suppress and delay the enemies. There are even some small groups at this moment.
To be continued...
