Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 160 Magic Guide
After more than a month of uninterrupted transportation, all the active equipment of the Nutao City Armored Assault Division was finally in place.
The entire assault division has nearly 20,000 combat personnel, equipped with 25 offensive war fortresses, 48 auxiliary war fortresses, 4,000 newly modified war machines, 500 steam titans, 20 magic titans, 10 heavy battle magic cannons, 400 tactical magic cannons, 1,000 small fast magic projectile cannons, and more than 5,000 steam vehicles of various types.
One Kirov-class super-heavy steam airship and 245 other attack-auxiliary airships.
In addition, there are 100,000 sets of expendable Tin Man and a complete set of Tin Man battlefield assembly workshop.
All equipment supplies are over-rationed. In battle, more emphasis is placed on magic suppression and heavy armor protection, and contact combat should be avoided as much as possible in the early stages.
As the attack approached, a commission was delivered from the palace to the Triumph Fortress.
Duke Meteorite of Rage was promoted to Marshal of the Imperial Army, commanding all Imperial troops participating in the battle against the Tedega Hills on the southern front, and taking full responsibility for the war against the barbarian rebels.
Luke, wearing the marshal uniform that was delivered with him, stood in the bridge of the Kirov-class airship. The rising sun from the east cast its light on the airships in the sky, dyeing them golden. In the mountains around the Tedega Hills, more airships took off from their hidden positions.
The heavy combat magic cannons that had been deployed at preset battlefield nodes continuously fired shells into the sky above the war zone. As the shells exploded in the air, huge circular magic light waves quickly spread one after another.
The few remaining clouds were completely dispersed, and the magic elements in the entire space were stimulated into an active state. The halo produced by the magic elements obscured the blue sky.
The heavy battle magic cannons continued to fire, and one after another, the preset large-scale magics were launched to the designated locations. The accompanying mages who followed their own army could trigger these large-scale battle magics at a very fast speed and with minimal consumption according to the needs of the battlefield.
Next, it’s time for the tactical magic cannon to perform.
Tactical magic cannons are divided into ten groups according to the positions of campaign magic cannons and deployed on commanding heights throughout the battlefield. Their range can cover the entire battlefield.
The bombing began.
The primary target is the airships equipped by the Barbarian Legion. Destroying these airships will deprive the Barbarians of their magical cover in the air and help the assault division's airships gain air superiority.
Four hundred battle-type magic cannons fired at the same time, and groups of light beams shot out from the tops of the hills. These light beams first went up in a parabola, and after passing through the active area of the activated magic elements, the amplification effect made the light beams become thicker.
The magic search function was activated, and all magic beams left the parabolic trajectory and rushed straight towards the selected target at an accelerated speed.
Then the preset magic effects were activated in succession: magic breaking, armor piercing, sharpening... strong lights of different colors flashed, and the magic beams crashed into the barbarian's airship.
The attack created oscillating ripples on the outer layer of the airship's magic shield. Part of the magic beam was blocked, while part of the magic beam penetrated and hit the hull of the airship.
Fire and thick smoke from the explosion emerged from the interior of the airship. The first wave of attack from the magic cannon caused severe damage to the barbarian airship.
The bombardment continues...
The assault division's airship took advantage of the situation and pressed forward, using the magic projectile cannon on the airship to attack the barbarian airship, filling the gap in the charging period of the magic cannon.
One minute later, the magic cannon completed charging and the second round of salvos was launched immediately.
After the barbarian airships were hit by continuous magical attacks, one of them lacked lift and began to fall uncontrollably. The other barbarian airships were hit so hard that they had no ability to fight back and could only use all their magic power to support the shield and then quickly retreat.
As the airship retreated, the barbarian soldiers below were exposed to the assault division's long-range firepower.
The tactical magic cannon continued to attack the barbarian airship, and the campaign magic cannon sounded again.
The rain of fire mixed with meteorites poured down on the barbarians' positions, instantly engulfing the entire land in a sea of fire. It also consumed all the activated magic elements in the entire space, and the sky became even bluer.
The battle magic cannon fired at high altitudes again, replenishing and activating artificial magic elements. When the amount of magic elements was enough to support the battle magic, the battle magic cannon once again launched large-scale killing magic at the barbarian positions.
The barbarian positions were burned like hell. The heavy armor and war machines they had just equipped were burned into a pile of scrap metal, and the people were burned into charcoal and ashes .
Such a devastating display of firepower caused the warlike barbarians to collapse instantly. They fled across the mountains and plains, forgetting their honor and the oaths they had sworn, and only wanted to get away from the terrible opponent in front of them.
The Celtic Duke, who was commanding the battle on a high mountain in the rear, was stunned. Watching his soldiers struggling and dying in the sea of fire, he didn't know what orders he should give.
This was not the war model he knew. How could an army have such a powerful magic casting capability? Even steel could not withstand such magic, let alone flesh and blood.
What are we fighting during this time?
The Celtic Duke felt that the world was stranger than ever before.
"Quickly call the advisor of the Shining Gold Man."
The golden men Suo and Pei arrived quickly.
At this time, due to the excessive consumption of magic elements, the color of the sky gradually changed from azure to dark blue. Even with the supplement of artificial magic elements, the color still revealed a sense of fragmentation.
The Golden Man looked at the sky and recalled the descriptions of battlefields during ancient wars. The sky at that time was often like this.
Has the Golden Shield Empire's magic technology become so powerful?
The Celtic Duke saw the Golden Advisor coming and, regardless of his status and manners, stepped forward and grabbed Suo: "Do you still want us to face such an enemy alone? My army is retreating, and the Imperial Army will launch a general attack soon. They will kill all the way to the Holy Mountain and enslave the entire barbarian race under their feet.
You will lose an important ally.
Go to battle, you must go to battle immediately!"
Suo shook off the Celtic Duke's hand and replied: "I must consult Tan first. Your Excellency the Duke, please wait a moment..."
Suo applied to connect to the Golden Divine Art Differential Machine in his mind: "Ying, there is an emergency at the Triumph Fortress battlefield. The barbarians are being defeated. I need Tan's permission to attack."
"Wasn't everything going well in the Triumph Fortress Battle yesterday? Tan's line has been connected, you can tell her the details."
After getting in touch with Tan, Suo reported the battle currently taking place in the Triumph Fortress to Tan: "...The magic technology of the Golden Shield Empire has exceeded our expectations. If we do not join the battle, we will lose the Tedega Hills."
Tan thought for a while and replied: "The Tedejia Hills are behind the Golden Shield Empire and are very important . Although Sky City has not yet reached an alliance with us, the angels will not stand against us at least for now.
You and the Golden Warriors led by Suo are allowed to participate in the battle of Triumph Fortress. The Shadow Society will develop a magic differential machine for you to provide you with magic assistance."
"As you command, Tan!"
After receiving permission to join the war, Suo immediately said to the Duke of Celt: "We will suppress the attack of the Golden Shield Empire army. Reorganize your army and prepare to capture the Triumph Fortress."
Hearing that the Golden Man was going to join the battle, the Duke of Celtic immediately relaxed: "As long as you can suppress the magical attacks of the Imperial Army, my army can capture the Triumph Fortress."
"I hope you can keep your word this time."
Suo connected the Shining Gold magic differential machine, and under Ying's guidance, all the Shining Gold warriors participating in the battle were connected.
Covered in golden armor, Suo condensed a golden sword and said to his brother who was wearing the same golden armor beside him: "It's our turn to fight, Pei!"
"We will eliminate all enemies for Tan and continue the honor of the Shining Gold People!"
"Go to battle!"
Suo flew into the sky, and golden lights rose nearby, rushing towards the Triumph Fortress.
The Shining Gold people officially began a direct military confrontation with the Golden Shield Empire.
The golden light of the Golden Man was captured by battlefield reconnaissance personnel, and the information was transmitted to the Kirov airship through the communication frequency band of the magic differential machine.
After receiving the information, Kaileena immediately reported to Luke.
"The Golden Ones attacked earlier than we expected. How many people are there on the other side?"
"Forty-three people have been detected so far, which is equal to the number of the Barbarian Army's Golden Advisory Group as detected by intelligence."
"This is considered an outpouring of support..."
Kaileena said worriedly, "Sir, we can only mobilize eighteen Magic Titans, and the number of Shining Golds is more than twice ours. Should we invite the Golden Shield Warriors sent by Her Majesty the Queen to fight together with the Magic Titans?"
Luke had already seen the golden light coming from afar, and he said to Kaileena: “The Golden Shield Warriors are not part of our combat system, so we may not be able to coordinate well in joint operations.
We not only have Magic Titans, we also have a complete magic tactical system. This battle is not eighteen against forty-three, it is twenty thousand against forty-three.
Let all the Magic Titan pilots attack. I will watch from here as they represent the highest wisdom of human civilization and teach the arrogant Shining Gold a lesson. "
Luke's confidence infected Kaileena: "Yes, Marshal, the Magic Titan Squadron will attack immediately!"
Kailina conveyed the order, and soon the group of airships released the Magic Titans to attack the flying Golden Warriors.
Starlight came to Luke's side and looked at the two top battle groups charging towards each other in the airspace outside: "Do you trust your magic Titan so much? There are so many of them that even I can't stop them."
Luke also looked at the battlefield outside: "That's because the assault division's battlefield combat system has not been perfected, and some equipment has not been installed and debugged in place.
The magic differential machine and magic communication equipment allow all battlefield information to be transmitted in a timely manner. Behind each set of magic Titan is a complete tactical support team, who can mobilize any weapon on the entire battlefield at any time to provide support for the magic Titan in combat.
Now the Shining Gold people must have used their magic differential machine. This is not only a confrontation of top military power, but also a confrontation of information capabilities. "
"It's about using my brain again. I hate using my brain the most. Let me out. I can get rid of these shining gold people in no time."
"Will you be there to resolve every war in the future?" Luke looked at the stars. "War is not a personal stage. It is a process of selecting excellent fighters and excellent tactics. The intervention of top military forces will only achieve a temporary victory, not the final victory."
"So what should I do? Just watch?"
"Of course you have your role. Come with me..." Luke walked out with the starlight: "I expected that Sky City would pay attention to this war, so I have been looking for traces of angels.
Now I have found him, and he is a tough guy. Come with me to meet him."
"Is it the Sword of Oath?"
“You guessed it right!”
