Empire of Shadows

Chapter 295: Joint Operations 3

Views:

Although Sterling was aware of what tactics the Kingdom of Yan would use to deal with the beasts, and even the demons in the future, he never dared to imagine that humans would actually create such incredible weapons and equipment. The giant flying ships that were tens of meters long and those smaller flying ships that were fast and extremely flexible shocked Sterling.

Thousands of black balls were dropped from those giant flying ships from thousands of meters in the sky. Almost every black ball would bring about a huge fire with a diameter of more than ten meters in the unfortunate orc camp, and quickly engulf objects within the range... Including those orcs who had no way to escape...

At the same time, the larger flying ships were using the strange gadgets mounted on their heads to continuously release explosive balls, using their speed of almost one per second to frantically block the orc warriors' retreat route.

The Orcs, with a strength of 200,000, were thrown into complete chaos in less than an hour under the attack of hundreds of these terrifying flying ships. No Orc officer could exert any suppressive power on the desperate Orc soldiers, and the entire military camp collapsed in an instant.

Looking at the flying ship that was still "laying eggs" there, the officers of the Mocaster Empire who were standing on the city wall, ready to watch how the Yaen Kingdom would deal with the orcs, now showed shock and relief.

With a long sigh of relief, Sterling had completely lost his pre-war pessimism. He threw into the trash questions such as whether it was necessary to go to war and when to go to war. He was already thinking about how to dispatch his 600,000 troops to carry out raids in batches.

"Look, they split into two groups and rushed towards the orc camps on both sides of the south gate..."

When the entire Orc camp was engulfed in flames, the large number of flying ships that had been hovering over the Orc camp outside the south gate, before they had time to test their battle record, immediately divided the fleet into two teams in an orderly manner and rushed towards the two nearest Orc camps respectively.

"Come here, immediately order the First to Fourth Legions to go and clear out the remaining beastmen outside the South Gate. After cleaning up the battlefield, have the First and Second Legions follow the troops of the Kingdom of Yaen on the left and continue to clear the field for them. The Third and Fourth Legions will assist the Yaen troops on the right..."

Seeing this gratifying result, Sterling successively dispatched four main legions, preparing to defeat all the beastman troops besieging Kamikaze City within one day according to the method in the letter.

Of course, it was just a defeat, not an annihilation. After all, after the orc camp outside the south gate suffered a devastating blow, the other orc troops were on guard, and it was impossible to annihilate them in one fell swoop. If the number of flying ships was several times more, then it might be possible.

With the dispatch of the four legions, and the continuous receipt of favorable news, Sterling became excited, and at the same time was glad that he did not make enemies with the prince of the Kingdom of Jaen because of the initial temptation. Otherwise, I am afraid that the Kamikaze City where his 600,000 troops were nesting would not be enough for them to defeat!

But at the same time, Sterling was still worried. After all, this scene before him might become the same as the beastmen and the future demons, and it would be repeated on the land of the Mocaster Empire. This was not what Sterling expected to see. For a moment, Feng Ya's original proposal once again echoed in Sterling's ears.

"Sir, the orc troops have begun to retreat... Their troops near the north gate are evacuating. Even the orc troops on the east and west sides have begun to disperse and retreat under the attack of the Kingdom of Yan..." Not long after, before the four legions sent by Sterling had completely overturned the orc camp outside the south gate, the officers commanding on the east and west walls brought the news that Sterling had expected.

"Order the Fifth and Sixth Legions to attack immediately. Let them follow behind the flying ships of the Kingdom of Yan and encircle and suppress those stragglers of the Orcs who were dispersed by the Kingdom of Yan. But if you encounter a large number of Orc troops, you must retreat immediately and let the army of the Kingdom of Yan disperse them before you can encircle and kill them..." After hearing that the entire Orc army had retreated, Sterling hurriedly issued orders one after another and sent out two more legions to fight, preparing to strike back.

Compared to Sterling's high spirits, the one who was the most different was undoubtedly Feng Ya, who was observing from the east wall. Ever since the flying ship of the Kingdom of Yan dropped the first magic bomb outside the south gate, Feng Ya had been following the actions of these flying ships and moving her position. In the less than 2 hours, Feng Ya felt like she was dreaming and could not believe the battle situation in front of her.

From the moment the entire beastman army outside the south gate was annihilated in the sudden attack of the flying ship, to the moment the beastman army outside the east gate was fleeing madly as if encountering a plague of locusts, all of this was actually orchestrated by the guy she had always looked down upon. This really embarrassed her, a leader in the military of the Kastark Empire.

Back then, he was famous for being the only female army commander in the Kastek Empire, with his daughter Shenlike and Sack, who were new military stars. But what made her angry was that Sack, a young army commander who was inferior to her in martial arts, had always been reluctant to take risks with her, and often spoke in public about the trade-offs between martial arts and command ability and strategic and tactical thinking for military commanders, and at the end of the discussion, Sack always put martial arts at the bottom.

And this was not the most embarrassing thing for Feng Wu. After the war between the Eastern Territory and the Senke Federation, Sack actually brought back a guy from the Eastern Territory who knew nothing about martial arts and magic, and claimed that even a sword master could not compare to that bastard. This really made Feng Ya very angry. And this also led to her hostility towards the man surnamed Shen, which led to various problems afterwards, and even became a mortal enemy in the end.

Gazing at the fleet that was still searching for the orcs' organized forces in the distance, although Feng Ya was still unable to get rid of her hatred for Xing Shen, in her heart, she had already come to the conclusion that martial arts were not as good as military talent. At the same time, she also deeply admired the insight of Sak, who had fled to the eastern territory of the Kastark Empire.
