Chapter 220 Two Boxer Dogs

Seeing Ruger drive this thing out, Rogge, who was sitting on the tank, was just curious, but not very envious.

Their performance was exactly what Ruger wanted.

This also made him feel relieved.

He used the sight to look around from the turret and confirmed that the human guards under his command were already in position at the machine gun fire point. He then connected the internal communicator and shouted, "Get ready."

"Wait for my order!"

After saying that, he picked up the 105 rifled gun and aimed at the Paladin Austin who had slowly pressed the battle formation into the gate of the shelter, and fired a tungsten alloy rod armor-piercing bullet.

This M1060A3 105X617mm NATO standard tank shell can penetrate armor equivalent to 500mm average steel plate (500mmRHA) at a distance of 2000 meters and an angle of incidence of 60 degrees.

In terms of penetration alone, this shell is no worse than the 120x570mm DM33 fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing shell that Tia fired with the Leopard 2A4 before.

It is even stronger, because the equivalent penetration depth of the DM33 when it is shot vertically into the armor at a distance of 2000 meters is only 480mm.

After all, the effectiveness of the discarding sabot armor-piercing shell itself has little to do with the overall caliber of the shell. What is more important is the structure of the rod itself and the kinetic energy provided by the propellant.

When Tia fired a shot, she not only penetrated the rear armor of the Leopard 2A6, but also penetrated the nightmare-level monster leader Bloody Countess first, and then killed a nightmare-level dark shooter.

Not to mention the damage to the internal part of the tank gunner's position in the end.

That DM33 can directly penetrate a nightmare-level monster leader, so how bad can this M1060A3, which is only more powerful, be?

However, Paladin Leader Austin is not an easy opponent.

He could take a 30mm rapid-fire armor-piercing bullet from Ruger with his shield. Now almost the entire Paladin Order is acting as his "magic battery". His defense will be even more amazing than before.

The tungsten alloy piercing rod pierced his shield held in front of his chest at a speed of 1500+ meters per second, not giving him any reaction time at all.

However, he himself could not react in time, and the defensive aura gathered by the Paladins took the initiative to gather together and react to the piercing rod.

The defensive auras were like the legendary non-Newtonian fluid bulletproof vests. They were originally like flowing water, but within a microsecond of being hit by the piercing rod, they quickly condensed into substance and dripped in front of the piercing rod like steel plates.

However, when they found that the aura turned from water to steel would only make it easier to be penetrated by the piercing rod, the defensive auras transformed again.

This time, they became a viscous semi-fluid state, like mud or glass glue, resisting the penetration of the rod while removing the kinetic energy of the rod through vibration.

But even so, the kinetic energy of this tungsten alloy rod is too huge, more than 7 megajoules (mega = million).

Although it is not as terrifying as the 12 megajoules when the Leopard 2A6's extended version of 55 times the 120mm smoothbore gun fired the DM53 armor-piercing projectile, the difference is not too big.

This is a tungsten alloy rod with more than 7 million joules of kinetic energy.

Once upon a time, Ruger could fight to the death with the fallen demon team with a 9mm pistol that could only fire 300 joules.

Firing 4 rounds of 3000-4000 joules of tungsten core single-headed armor-piercing bullets can kill a nightmare-level steel-headed zombie.

Now, even with the pressure shared by the defensive aura of dozens of paladins, this tungsten alloy rod with more than 7 million joules of kinetic energy still fiercely penetrated the aura sea that was almost condensed into substance and hit the magic shield of Paladin Austin.

There was a sound of metal grinding teeth, and the rod steadily opened a hole in the artifact-level shield and drilled its head in.

However, that was the end.

After all, the kinetic energy on the tungsten alloy rod was a consumable, and it would be used up as soon as it was used.

The defensive aura that stopped it, however, continuously gathered from dozens of paladins and rushed into the line of resistance.

As the time dragged on, the defense side had a stronger advantage.

In the end, the head of the rod stopped unwillingly at a distance of two fists from Austin's chest plate.

This tail-stabilized armor-piercing projectile finally failed to penetrate the "armor" of this world's top "tank".

But even so, all the Paladins who participated in the defense were sweating.

Several Paladins near Austin looked at their leader's artifact shield with lingering fear, secretly glad that it was not them who blocked the attack.

Then, they looked at Austin with deeper admiration in their eyes.

Austin himself had a gloomy face, neither sad nor happy.

Seeing his expression, everyone felt that his leader's calmness in the face of a collapse was simply a peerless martial arts, and they worshiped him even more.

However, Austin was speechless at this time, and he was angry, but he didn't dare to reveal it.

This defensive formation was his unique skill.

He naturally knew how powerful this formation was.

Based on the information he had and his own tests, this defensive aura formation could hold out for at least a few minutes even against the ultimate demon in this area, the Queen of Pain Andariel.

However, even with such a strong defensive formation, it almost failed to withstand a shell from the strange Lost One that popped out of nowhere.

In the end, he relied on his artifact-level shield to hold up the second half, so that the thing barely failed to break his defense.

After all, Austin still lost.

If the opponent immediately fired another shot at the original position after the first shot, could he still block it?

This question made Austin more and more afraid and angry.

No!

This guy can't live anymore!

This time, he must be killed!

When Paladin Austin raised his head again, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

This time, he had made up his mind to kill the threat of Ruger.

However, Ruger didn't care about the hatred in his eyes.

While he was pulling out the shell and returning to the gun, he had already loaded the next M1060A3 armor-piercing shell into the gun barrel, ready to fire at any time.

But he didn't rush to fire the second round, just to see what the effect would be when a single bullet hit the defensive formation of the guys on the opposite side.

After watching it completely, he had estimated the opponent's defense.

It must be said that the opponent thought he was too powerful to be spared, so he wanted to kill him. Ruger himself was also shocked by the hardness of the Paladin's defense formation.

If rounded off, the opponent's defense might be able to catch up with the thickest part of the front armor of the Leopard 2A6.

And most importantly, for the formation, being penetrated does not mean being defeated.

As long as they finish reorganizing and forming the formation again before the next wave of attacks, they are actually harder than the front armor of the Leopard 2A6.
