The Encirclement and Suppression of Aesso Reeves, or the Aeso Reeves Meat Grinder, in my opinion, most of the future history books will use this name to record this battle.
Because someone's decoy mission was done too well (blame me?), and even attracted the personal pursuit of the Devil King and the Undead Emperor, the high-level commanders of the entire Western Front battlefield even had a fault, not only the transport fleet was successfully completed. With the supply work, the forced landing on the western front has less obstacles.
At 3:45 in the morning, the lights on the battleship flashed three times at the same time, and the big landing began.
Under the escort of 20 warships, 37 major transport ships began to forcibly grab the beach, and there were hundreds of scattered ships behind.
Starting from the Flot Mountains on the north side of the western line and extending to the south, the entire coastline has been turned into a battlefield.
Contrary to what was expected, the coalition did not choose the core area of the Dream Forest in the original Victoria Harbor as the landing point, but chose the more northerly Silver Shark Strait.
It is full of dangerous reefs and maelstroms, which are not suitable for landing sites at all, and under the dangerous rapids, there are also carnivorous magic sharks and flying fish, which are outside the possibility of normal landing areas from the beginning. .
Due to the inaccessibility of people, there is no port built there, and the dense underwater reefs and soft underwater ooze make it impossible to construct a normal port berth here.
The most terrible thing is that there are pieces of underwater shallows here, where people can stand, the upper body is on the water, and the lower body is underwater.
This is extremely deadly to the ship, the reef may only damage the bottom of the ship, but once it washes up on the shoal, it is very likely that the ship will run aground.
Therefore, for the landing battle, this is undoubtedly a blind spot.
Even in the outer defense line of the Forest of Dreams, the devils still piled up a huge array of catapults and an array of one-eyed chariots, ready to let humans experience the horror of the abyss.
But here, there is no single soldier.
What's more terrible, this direction is a no-man's land, and if you go in this direction, Aesso Reeves is in front!
As a result, the safest landing site was abandoned, and the coalition chose the most unsafe area, ignoring the opponent's line of defense and attacking the opponent's hinterland directly.
Seems, is a normal choice
When warships approached that direction, even if they didn't know how they were going to get through those underwater shoals, the undead and the devils started to act. The flying devils in the sky rushed to the Silver Shark Strait without hesitation, trying to intercept the opponent's beach.
But what greeted them was more intense artillery fire than the day before.
The fireballs pierced the long night, and the bursts of each one created lightning and explosions at the same time, instantly creating a blank on the battlefield.
Rechargeable demolition bombs, the new type of ammunition that has just been installed, each is a collection of multiple Olivia boxes, and will automatically release magic when activated according to the type of magical energy stored in it.
The power is amazing, and the explosive power is extremely strong in an instant. The only drawback is that it is very expensive and must be charged by a spellcaster before use. However, these problems are not a problem in the face of the combination of the rich and powerful Kingdom of Mage and Bayer.
And this batch of special ammunition has just come off the production lines of Lanmeng and Oran, and was escorted by the two leaders to the front line of the battlefield. timely.
What is hole card sum, when your opponent thinks he has seen through you, the new thing that can make the opponent completely miscalculate is hole card.
All the rechargeable bombs choose the two most common offensive spells such as lightning and fireball. It is not that no one has considered ice, soil and water magics that are more effective for devils, but the practice on the battlefield tells them , none of those things work.
The ranged attack ability is always the direct violence from the fire element. After the temperature reaches a certain level, it is possible to directly boil the air. When it comes to hitting high-speed and multiple monomers, nothing is more useful than a bursting thunderstorm. Well, it hits the flying units all in one piece.
The end result is that these ammo are all infused with burst fireballs and chain lightning, simple, crude, and effective.
At this time, every blow of this new type of ammunition is like a high-level mage bombardment, and the only price is probably the mage apprentices who were paralyzed on the ground at the end of the landing ship.
The seniors and mentors need to reserve magic power for the next battle. Only the apprentices who are not useful can charge the magic bullets. For them, who have insufficient magic power, they can only use quantity to make up for the quality, while meditating to restore magic power and continue to give The ammo is charged, and in the end it is all drained.
And the captains and gunners of those warships don't understand the hard work of the apprentices, they are crazy about their new toys.
This time, the strategic goals of the well-supplied warships are in front of them. They have no reason to cherish ammunition at all. All the artillery and magic crystal cannons are turned on, and the colorful fireworks have not stopped.
All in front of them are bursting fireballs and lightning, as if hundreds of high-level mages are desperately attacking at the same time at the same time.
"... This is still the main face of the poor and weak magic? The magic rune army of the ancient sage civilization is not as ridiculous as them."
The old devil who had seen the ancient holy war could not help but sigh with fear, and then quietly retreated to the back.
The excessively concentrated flame element burned the clouds of fire in the sky, and what was even more excessive was that some magical reaction occurred for some reason, the thunderstorms and dark clouds had an effect, and the sudden thunderstorms became the devil's death forbidden area. .
The too-intensive offensive made the high fire pits that the residents of the abyss proud of became meaningless.
In front of the fierce artillery fire, the proud big devil was shot down like raindrops, and the tyrannical devil lord was blinded by the high temperature fireball and lightning and thunder. These hundreds of thousands of high ring mages threw fireballs and lightning together, and the elemental power that was too concentrated became an elemental field by itself.
The worst is all kinds of mid-level and low-level winged demons. They fell piece by piece. With good luck, they died before they landed. With bad luck, they waited desperately for their own death in the paralysis of lightning. .
Even for the once-prosperous Devil clan, flying arms are still precious and rare, but at this time, there is no possibility of retreating. The great devil lords and nobles personally go into battle to serve as the overseer and the gendarmerie, and it is impossible for deserters to leave the battlefield alive.
"... There, it is impossible to land! We still have hope, hold on, hold on, and wait for the support of the lords."
The Demon Overseer screamed in the storm, but the scene in front of him made him swallow the rest of the words.
In the face of the turbulent Silver Shark Strait, the fleet had no intention of breaking through. Under the dark clouds, the battleships on the sea raised their sails, but slowly left the sea!
They staggered up from the sea and moved slowly and firmly towards the coastline.
"Boom!"
Obviously, those bulky old warships and the newer floating warships are completely different in terms of material and design. Those temporary floating engines soon burn out after being overloaded, and the ships keep falling back into the sea... or Falling into the sea is more appropriate.
But there is not much distance. If the fallen warships do not fall apart on the spot, they will not hesitate to start anchoring on the shoals and reefs, and then turn on all the artillery and become fixed turrets.
On ships, some alchemists began to throw special alchemy potions into the water, and the water they touched would freeze rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And in the last boat, four truth-level archmages wearing blue and white robes are chanting incantations. Their goal is to summon ice and snow!
If Roland was here, he would be surprised to find out how similar those spells and spell models were to the Ice Age materials he handed over to the Kingdom of Mage.
With that boat as the origin, the sea actually began to freeze slowly.
Now, whether it is a transport ship or a battleship, they are throwing the quick-frozen glacial medicine down, and the ice cubes in the rear come into contact with those glacial medicines, as if they have eaten a big tonic, and the speed of extension is faster.
The transport ship has begun to jump down to test the thickness of the ice layer. At this point, I am afraid everyone can see that humans do not intend to land directly with ships. They chose to freeze this strait and let the transport ship People landed on the ice and came ashore.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At this time, the warships that were flying downwind at first all landed, and they sat on the beach one by one, vaguely forming a new line of defense and fortress.
The artillery fire never stopped, and when the Aurora Knights silently took off from the battleships that could no longer enter the water, even the devils felt fear.
The most important thing in old-fashioned warships is the keel under the ship. If it falls and falls, even if the deck under the ship is fine, the entire ship has been completely reimbursed.
For this landing, just the beginning, the human coalition sacrificed all the warships.
Although the strength of the opponent is beyond expectations, the most frightening thing is the determination to completely eradicate the enemy at all costs.
