Chapter 366: First Victory
The missile whizzed into the defensive shield, making a deafening explosion.
Although the light shield was dim in color, it stubbornly withstood the attack.
Immediately afterwards, heavy artillery shells whizzed in, exploded on the light shield, and raised clouds of black smoke.
There was a crack in the mask.
Blood-red lines suddenly appeared on the bodies of the ten witches.
They turned their bodies into blood mist and flew into the silver-white light shield.
The light shield became bright again, but the blood-colored lines on it were particularly glaring.
This is blood sacrifice, a magic that Wu Zhan strongly demands to be learned in order to prevent a recurrence of the tragedy at Fort Hood.
Able to die together with the enemy at a critical moment.
However, if the caster has a strong desire to protect, he can also integrate all of his own magical power into defensive magic.
The Dark Fang has prepared ten batches of warriors for this purpose, and as long as the light shield shows signs of weakening, they will rush forward one after another.
Missiles and artillery shells continued to bombard the light shield.
More and more Dark Fangs were sacrificed, and the silver-white light shield was gradually replaced by blood.
However, the US military did not give up.
The tank rushed up with the force of thunder, its tracks rolling over the battlefield and raising a cloud of dust.
The shadow wizards quickly sent some people to meet them.
They cast a powerful spell that caused the ground to crack.
A series of trenches were formed, successfully blocking the advance of US tanks.
American soldiers rushed across the ravine and launched a fierce charge.
They fired fiercely with machine guns and bazookas and engaged in fierce close combat with the shadow warriors.
The battlefield was filled with screams and explosions, and it was in chaos.
An American soldier was hit by a wizard's magic during the battle.
His body tumbled in the air and eventually turned into ashes.
A shadow warrior was hit by a grenade while covering his teammates.
His body fell like a kite with a broken string, but in the last moment of his life, he still used the magic shield to protect his companions behind him.
The battle entered a fierce stage.
The shadow warriors attacked the American soldiers more fiercely, and each of their attacks bought more time for the wizards.
Under the urging of the US military commander, the soldiers became even more crazy. They charged desperately, trying to break through the shadow warriors' defense line.
On the battlefield, the bodies of Shadow Warriors and American soldiers increased.
Soldiers on both sides were risking their lives to buy time.
Their figures intertwined on the battlefield to form a bloody picture.
However, in this fierce battle, the wizards of Dark Spear remained calm and focused.
Their spells were chanting more and more rapidly, and the energy gathering in the sky had reached a critical point.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly split apart.
Countless flaming meteorites poured down like a rainstorm, smashing into the US military positions with destructive force.
The US military's air defense vehicles and anti-aircraft guns were activated urgently, firing continuously in an attempt to intercept the meteorites.
However, the meteorite was so fast and so huge that the shells from anti-aircraft vehicles and anti-aircraft guns could only smash it into pieces of rubble.
The debris fell like raindrops, continuing to cause huge damage to the US military positions.
The US military's overclocked electromagnetic wave carrier was not spared. It was hit by meteorite fragments and instantly engulfed in flames. The powerful impact force blew away the surrounding soldiers.
With the disappearance of electromagnetic interference, the wizards' magic returned to their hands.
"Fight back!"
Following an order, the shadow warriors used Apparition to quickly shuttle through the US military's positions, leaving behind a number of high-damage grenades.
The wizards of Darkspear also joined the battle.
They witnessed with their own eyes how the witch warriors protected them with their lives, which allowed them to successfully perform "Fiery Fall".
They all found themselves feeling pent-up anger in their chests, and only by killing the enemy could the pent-up anger be released.
Their magic swept across the battlefield like a violent storm.
The situation on the battlefield has changed dramatically.
Flames engulfed the American positions, frost froze their blood, and lightning split their defenses.
Under the joint attack of shadow warriors and wizards, the defense line of the American soldiers was completely destroyed.
They were unable to resist this powerful force and could only retreat step by step.
Faced with the deteriorating situation, MacArthur finally had no choice but to order a retreat.
Under the cover of the two surviving overclocked electromagnetic wave carriers and fighter jets, the American soldiers withdrew from the battlefield.
As they withdrew, the noise of the battlefield gradually subsided, leaving only burning ruins and thick smoke.
The shadow warriors stood on the battlefield. Although they had won, they felt extremely heavy-hearted.
The Shadow's commanders gathered in the command post.
There was not much joy of victory on their faces, only solemnity and deep thought.
Although on the surface this battle seemed to be a victory for Shadow.
But at the same time, it also exposed their huge shortcomings in frontal warfare.
Vanasa raised her head and broke the silence.
“Although the battle was won, it was won with the lives and blood of the soldiers.
More importantly, it also reveals our huge shortcomings in direct warfare.”
Percy nodded, his expression serious: “Yes, our heavy firepower weapons and equipment are seriously insufficient.
On the battlefield, we were barely able to contend with the U.S. tanks and artillery.
And we have completely lost air superiority, which will be fatal in future battles."
Zhang Wei also frowned: "And the US military is obviously too arrogant this time. They didn't even activate the aircraft carrier.
Although Afghanistan is located inland, it is not far from the coastline.
After this war, the US military is likely to adopt the strategy of using fighter jets to sweep the ground."
Percy thought for a moment, “Regarding air superiority, we still have dragon riders to deploy.
But we can’t compare to the US fighter jets in terms of numbers, and if we lose one, it will be hard to get a replacement in a short period of time.”
Zhang Wei proposed a plan: "We still have a lot of captured US military heavy equipment in our warehouse.
We can try to use these equipment to make up for our lack of firepower."
Vanasa shook her head, her eyes revealing deep worry.
“It’s easy to learn how to operate these devices, and we can have the shadow soldiers do it.
But we don’t have the corresponding production and maintenance bases, so it’s difficult for us to continue to compete with the US military.”
Percy's expression became more serious, "This is actually not the main issue.
We can find a way to raid their airport.
As long as the fighter jet can't take off, it's just a pile of scrap metal.
But the US military's overclocked electromagnetic wave carrier has greatly weakened our combat effectiveness.
And their technology doesn’t stand still.
We have to find ways to counter this technology.”
