Chapter 218 Countdown
Luger did not stop counting down, and soon counted to one. Google search reading
Then there was a bang, and the AGM light self-propelled artillery system roared again.
This time, it was another three shots.
But it was Tia who controlled the cannon.
The little girl deliberately lowered the rate of fire in order to enjoy the vibration of the artillery's retraction device and the smell of gunpowder in the gun cabin.
Calculated, it really only takes about ten seconds to launch.
However, as time passed, things changed again.
The first two shells still landed near the empty space that was blown up before.
There is still some distance from the ambush area of the Paladin Order personnel.
As a result, the people over there thought it was Luger who said harsh words, but in fact he was afraid of them.
He felt that he just didn't dare to do anything to them, so he yelled and cursed again.
Unfortunately, Tiya was actually familiar with the various elements of the cannon, so she fine-tuned it twice on the basis of the data from Lao Naochao's previous shot.
After seeing the actual impact point from the surveillance video, she was confident, so the third shell ten seconds later landed exactly at the edge of the Paladin Order's ambush area.
Boom~
The effective killing radius of the 155mm howitzer high-explosive shell is 60 meters, and the maximum killing radius is 350 meters.
Lugetiya Anyasara and four Rogges were bombed by this thing when they were in the underground military camp.
That feeling is difficult to describe in words.
It can only be said that at that time, even Tia, who liked explosions, didn't have time to get excited, so she followed Luger and fled.
They are still familiar with Lost weapons such as artillery.
But now, those who are being bombarded by heavy artillery are a group of Nephalem supremacists who look down on the Lost and are unwilling to study the weapons of the Lost...
Their fate can be imagined.
The effective killing radius of high-explosive bombs is sixty meters.
It's for ordinary people.
The nephalem of the Holy Knight Order are not only physically much stronger than ordinary people, but they also wear enchanted heavy armor and can withstand a considerable part of the power of fragments.
Overall, only about five or six people within 20 meters of the center of the explosion faced actual life threats.
The Paladins were worthy of being the latecomers, faintly suppressing Rogge's Nephalem forces.
The capabilities of its members themselves are indeed not low.
Although they were caught off guard by the third shell, the three nearby paladins immediately unfolded their shields and spread out their "Defense Aura-Resistance".
The Aura of Resistance increases the defense of the Paladin and nearby teammates.
Several paladins hold up their shields at the same time and release aura of resistance, which can protect the surrounding friendly forces within a certain range under the aura of defense as if they were unfolding a protective shield.
In this way, they formed a defensive formation and endured the explosion of the shell.
However, they underestimated the weapons of the lost after all.
Although the main body of the 155mm bullets used by Ruger were decades-old bullets recovered from underground military camps, after he used the logistics space to recycle and transform them, they had become completely new bullets.
It looks like it just came off the ammunition assembly line.
And it's of relatively high quality.
The result was that not only did the six kilograms of high explosives not show signs of deterioration due to moisture, but because they were new enough, their actual power was even greater.
So many high-quality high-explosives exploded in the air, blasting away the resistance and defense auras of the three paladins almost instantly.
Although this process did consume a lot of energy, the remaining energy drove the fragments and rushed deeply into the rest of the Nephalem.
The three paladins themselves had heavy armor similar to full-body plate armor, and their own defenses were relatively strong, but they were only slightly injured.
Basically, you can recover by drinking two bottles of potion or using restorative aura to replenish your health.
Although the barbarian next to him was not wearing armor, his strong physique and strong muscles blocked most of the fragments.
The severity of the injury ranged from minor to moderate, but leaning toward the latter.
Before receiving treatment, surgery must be performed to remove the fragments.
After drinking the potion, you can recover almost as well as you can.
It's not life-threatening. At most, his strength has declined due to muscle injuries, and he can recover in a few days.
However, the remaining two mages who were protected by the paladins could not do it.
These two mages are both servant mages of the Paladin, and their specialization is to provide fire blessings to the Paladin.
At the same time, its own safety is also protected by the Paladin.
Although he also studied the lightning system, one was just starting out and could not even master remote object movement, and the other could only use one move of the quasi-defensive magic type - Lightning Nova.
The latter is said to be a quasi-defensive magic, which releases a 360-degree lightning magic with no blind spots centered on the releaser, which will cause indiscriminate damage to nearby non-friendly entities.
However, under the impact of high-explosive grenade fragments, these two magics can only deflect the flight direction of some of the fragments. It is completely impossible to resist them all.
At least it's almost impossible with their abilities.
As a result, these two people suffered the impact of several large fragments and fell directly into a pool of blood.
Fortunately, there are enough paladins around, so it is not a problem to forcefully use the restorative aura to hang them alive, and they will not die in a short time.
These two were seriously injured.
Only one grenade hit the six-man Nephalem team of three paladins and their servants, causing three minor injuries, one moderate injury and two serious injuries. This is really amazing.
Even Austin, who was in front, turned around and saw the power of this shot, and couldn't help but take a breath.
At the same time, Ruger's voice rang again.
This time it was still a temporary regional blockade notice, and the third round of test firing would be carried out in half a minute.
And this time, he directly said the blockade area, which was the area where the Paladin Cult was located.
His meaning this time was very clear. If the Paladin Cult did not retreat, he would kill them.
Retreat or not?
This is a question.
Austin's face was uncertain for a while.
Not retreat?
If all of them really died here, even if only one-tenth of the members were reduced, it would be a huge blow to the entire cult's plan.
Originally, so many people were called here to prevent Sarah from forcibly escaping and to scare Tia Ruger and others who might come out to fight.
Unexpectedly, it seems that he used too much force, causing the opponent to get angry and ready to kill him.
But retreat?
However, his reputation and the morale of the crowd will be greatly affected.
The paladins are still okay.
The servants, the nephalem, who they have cultivated bit by bit, can be put aside for the time being.
But what about the ordinary nephalem who only have a cooperative relationship with the paladins, like Anya?
Will they be deeply shocked and choose to leave?
