Chapter 382: Fortress of War

Chapter 376 – War Fortress
The arrival of tens of thousands of Goblins caused the mountain-based war fortress to start operating at full capacity for the first time, and a large number of sealed buildings and equipment were activated under the command of the Goblin engineers.

As the huge steam unit inside the mountain began to run, the roar of the machine was deafening, just like a beating powerful heart, pouring high temperature steam down the pipes everywhere, the cold mountain fortress was like being injected with blazing blood, and the war machinery began to run.

Groups of soldiers carrying guns and ammunition sat on small railcars and quickly went to the various defense points of the mountain fortress, a huge amount of ammunition was also transported by gnomish workers to their respective places, and the heavy cannons hidden inside the mountain raised their barrels, ready to send out a roar that could shake the earth.

The bipedal mechs arrived at the key points where they needed to be stationed with heavy steps, lowering their power to wait for the battle while also making final preparations for the battle.

Witnessing all of this, Owen had an unspeakable excitement, and even began to look forward to the next battle.

In reality, he wasn’t made to wait for long, under the infusion of evil energy, the Evil Ratmen, who inspired all the potential of life, came like moths on fire and tried to flood the entire position.

But the Evil Energy Rat People obviously thought too much, they could hide, the Goblins weren’t bad either, everyone had hidden more than one hand, and now it was up to who’s bottom card ran out first.

With the steam drive, large and small gears and chains began to rotate, originally hidden in the mountain body of the hidden gun ports have opened, the heavy gun is also in the base of the push slowly moved forward, until the thick barrels will be extended out of the muzzle of the gun straight toward the sky, like eighteen-year-old boy in the hands of the angst of the steel gun, ready to erupt, and more than once.

Several bear goblins teamed up to load hundreds of pounds of shells into the chamber, and the goblins stepped on the pedals to adjust the firing angle with the help of the machinery, and then it was time to wait for the order to fire.

At this time, the one-eyed giant eagle has already flown in the sky, Owen witnessed the black-pressure piece of evil energy rats with the help of projection, and couldn’t help but suck in a mouthful of cool air, this quantity is simply open, afraid that there are not as many as three to five hundred thousand.

Even if these evil energy rat people lie still, one by one shot shelling once, but also not a short time can do, not to mention the back of the evil energy shooters, giant rat cavalry, and evil energy mechs and giant artillery, this is he has never seen a strong enemy, I am afraid that only the peak of the Empire’s border army can be comparable.

Only then did Owen realize that war is not a child’s play, especially when facing a powerful enemy, not only will people die, but also the possibility of failure.

If it is three to five hundred thousand humans, Owen is afraid that he is not so worried, even if the strength is stronger, because the human beings have an upper limit on casualties, bombardment, even if the deaths and injuries are not more than one-tenth of a percent, but also the morale of the morale will plummet, more than three layers will be collapsed, the evil rats can’t, look at their situation, there is no hope to go back alive, so as long as there is no death, I’m afraid that the war will not be over.

“Lord Demon King, the last general will definitely bring you the final victory of this war!” With the support of the resources of the entire territory, Dagu, who had never fought such a rich battle before, confidently knelt down on one knee in front of Owen, even the early name of the Demon King reappeared, making Owen not know what to say for a while.

Regardless, it was clear that Dagu was the expert when it came to war, so he would just watch quietly.

The spirited Dagu, after receiving the rights bestowed by Owen, immediately ordered to open fire.

Hidden within the mountain fortress were heavy cannons with a caliber of one hundred and fifty millimeters or more, the range was very impressive, and the commotion could be described as earth-shattering, on the side facing the Evil Energy Rats, dozens of heavy cannons opened fire together, and half of the mountain’s dust was shaken up and didn’t fall down for a long time, and if it wasn’t for the fact that the war fortress as a whole had been reinforced, he was afraid that it would have been shaken out of its crevices. In the horrible whistling sound, the cannonball weighing hundreds of pounds smashed hard on the ground, instantly detonated at the same time, the horrible shockwave preceded the exploding flames sweeping everything within a hundred meter radius, and still expanding layer by layer.

Evil energy rats were originally small, that can carry hundreds of pounds of shell explosion generated shock wave, coupled with dense, so a shell down, close to the direct fragmentation, far away from the distortion was thrown up to the sky, and this is only the beginning.

As the distance draws closer, one hundred and fifty millimeter howitzers also began to power, will be a round of high-kill grenades smashed in the enemy’s head, so that the earth above more large and small craters strewn with flesh and blood.

The high intensity shelling lasted for half an hour before it began to slow down, during this period tens of thousands of evil ratmen turned into broken pieces or crumbling corpses, but still could not stop the evil ratmen’s almost endless charge, which made Owen, who had been observing the battle situation, look a little bad, but Dagu was not the least bit panicked, calmly ordering the heavy artillery to fire in turn, increasing the cooling time, reducing the failure rate and also for the purpose of saving ammunition. .

The high intensity shelling of just half an hour had directly knocked out one fifth of the war fortress’s ammunition reserves, which was not good news.

Although the ammo reserve in the war fort is not the entire territory’s ammo, the transportation of the portal has an upper limit, at this moment, the troops and supplies need to be transported, so it is impossible to spare much capacity to transport the heavy artillery’s incomparably heavy shells.

Therefore, if the saturation shelling continued, it would be impossible to get enough replenishment before running out of ammunition, so it was necessary to economize and use the shells when it mattered.

Owen’s heart ached at the amount of ammunition he was consuming, but there was no way around it, if he wanted range he could only use traditional ammunition, which often represented two or three times more resource consumption than steam guns.

Good thing that after the distance was drawn closer, the steam weapons had been able to come in handy, a large number of steam cannons began to fire shells into the heads of the evil energy rats, the steam nail guns also sprayed a rain of iron that was denser than the rain, so that the unstoppable charge of the evil energy rats had a few moments of pause.

The grenades specially prepared for killing infantry are cylindrical metal canisters filled with a large number of steel balls, a grenade of a large-sized drink bottle explodes in the air, a hundred meters in a radius is within the killing range, even if they are wearing plate armor will be pierced by the steel balls, not to mention that they can only rely on the skin of the Evil Energy Rats, so the effect of clearing the field is very significant, a large number of one shot.

And with the war fortress within the steam engine group to provide a steady stream of steam, steam nail gun also played out the theory of the highest rate of fire, a round of sharp spikes will be shot within the range of the evil energy rat into all around the unlucky egg of the blood spraying, if it is to get more, directly torn apart.

However, when the main force of the Evil Energy Ratmen was about to arrive at the battlefield, the Goblin Corps would also face a severe test.

After the Evil Energy Cannon pulled by hundreds of giant rats arrived at the range, it immediately started to fix the cannon position and absorbed the thick Evil Energy around it to carry out complex compression and purification, and then transformed it into the terrifying Evil Energy Cracking Bomb and fired it out.

A round of evil energy cracking bomb like a meteor landing power is extremely horrible, is like an invisible excavator, once landed, a large area will disappear, what fortifications are false, do not care is a heavy artillery, bunker or bipedal mechs, turn into nothing, the power is not inferior to the general legendary spells, to say the shortcomings, in addition to the inconvenience of moving, that is, the speed of fire is too slow.
