#798 - Lava bomb (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

After rushing out of the black mist, the attacking side quickly spread out, and dozens of spells were cast in response. Almost instantly, more than a dozen enemies in the outermost bunker were turned into white light by their saturation attack.

At the same time, the two giants had successfully crossed the first line of defense and began to wreak havoc inside.

Whether it was a bunker or an enemy in front of them, they couldn't withstand a single heavy blow. Soon, several gaps were punched through the walls made of sandbags.

However, Percy was not in a hurry to advance in the face of such a favorable situation. Instead, he directed everyone to quickly spread out, then rushed behind the low walls built by the enemy, and began a war of attrition with the help of the bunkers.

Seeing the opponent stabbing into his own position like a sharp knife, Wood did not show an ugly expression, but sighed with a hint of regret.

"I didn't expect Percy to be so cautious. It seems that it was a bit taken for granted to expect the other party to step into the trap voluntarily."

Wood shook his head, and then shouted to his companions, "Detonate the remote-controlled mines in front of the second line of defense! Also, get the artillery squad moving, aim at the front of the first line of defense, and fire all the lava bombs at them!"

"Fire them all? Those shells are not cheap!" Daphne, who was in charge of delivering the order, was shocked when she heard this, and confirmed with Wood again.

"This is not the time to save money, and won't the merit points come back after killing the enemy?" Wood ignored Daphne's question and ordered decisively.

Daphne did not hesitate when she saw this, and took out a remote control from her body and pressed it hard.

"Boom!"

A series of explosions suddenly sounded on the front line of the position. The ground between the second line of defense and the first line of defense exploded violently, and all the objects above were lifted heavily.

The two giants and several wizards beside them suffered. All the wizards who had penetrated deep into the hinterland instantly disappeared in the explosion, turning into streaks of white light.

One of the giants also fell in the explosion. The other giant holding the anchor was in a better position, with a lot of sandbags as a buffer under its feet, but it was still blown more than a meter high by the violent air wave, and even couldn't regain consciousness immediately after landing.

Suddenly, nearly 10 wizards on the attacking side were killed. Only Percy and others, who were cautious and did not cross the first line of defense, were barely spared.

But at this moment, their scalps were also numb from the violent explosion. Everyone's ears could only hear a noisy buzzing sound for a while, and many people were buried in the ground by a large amount of dirt that was lifted up.

The defending side's counterattack was not over yet. Just as Percy struggled to get up, he saw a 4-person team rushing out from the rear of the position.

This team was divided into two groups, one group carrying a metal pipe as thick as a bowl, and the other group carefully holding a wooden box.

After this team came to a position about a hundred meters away from them, they squatted down and assembled the objects on their bodies.

After a while, two dark mortars flashing with obscure spiritual light were assembled. Then their teammates took out an oval shell with a base from the wooden box.

The top of these shells had a layer of smooth film. Through that layer of film, you could see from a distance that there was a viscous liquid like magma flowing inside.

"Lie down!" As soon as Percy saw the two scary-looking things, he immediately guessed their purpose, and shouted without hesitation, while taking the lead and pouncing into a trench next to him.

But unfortunately, due to the explosion just now, the attackers were deafened by the loud noise, and hardly anyone heard Percy's warning. At this time, they were still rejoicing that they had not acted rashly and saved their lives.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two crisp sounds of breaking through the air came out, and then two shells were seen drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and falling diagonally towards the position where everyone was.

"Bang! Bang!"

As the shells landed, they shattered instantly, and scorching lava fireballs exploded, engulfing the area within a few meters of the landing point, as if a drop of molten iron had been dripped in the middle of an ant colony.

The wizards affected by the lava didn't even have time to scream before being burned into white light by the scorching high temperature.

Then, this kind of shell with great lethality and a wide coverage area fell one after another almost without any interruption, and it only took a dozen seconds to turn the front of the position into a sea of lava fire.

At this time, no one could be seen on the periphery of stronghold No. 2. The ground was almost leveled by lava shells, and the ground was full of constantly flowing red liquid, which would form a black hard shell even after it dried.

The worst one was the giant who had survived before. It didn't even have time to climb up from the ground before being hit head-on by a lava shell, which immediately burned through the shield on its body and turned it into white light and disappeared.

After nearly half a minute, the frontal battlefield completely calmed down, and Wood and others couldn't help being stunned for a while after seeing the power of the lava shells.

Obviously, before the official use, they didn't expect the effect of this shell to be so exaggerated. A group charge of dozens of people was so easily resolved.

However, such a large local area in front of the position, even the most intensive shelling, could not completely cover it. There were always some corners that were missed.

Several wizards from the attacking side survived such a fierce artillery bombardment, including Percy, who had hidden early.

Percy struggled to get up and looked in horror at this large area of barren land beside him. The heat wave rising from the gradually cooling lava had already baked him into a sweat.

At this time, the defenders in the inner circle of the position also discovered Percy's figure. A wizard even sat on the trench, mocking with a wicked smile.

"Haha, didn't expect that, Percy? How do you feel after experiencing the gift we prepared? To be honest, you have no chance of winning at all. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!"

"Surrender? Just because of this little thing?" Although Percy was caught off guard by Wood's weapons, he did not show any frustration.

He waved his wand and summoned a large pool of water to extinguish all the lava that had not yet cooled down. Then he pointed forward and shouted coldly, "Everyone, continue to attack!"

"Attack? Just with you few people?"

Just when the defenders in position No. 2 felt inexplicable about Percy's actions, a rustling sound suddenly came out.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the black mist behind Percy, and then everyone saw a group of wizards rushing out of the smoke and launching a charge towards the position.

"What? How could they get to the battlefield so quickly?"

Wood, who was sitting in the rear, was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he shivered. Weren't these wizards just killed in battle? Why did they suddenly appear at the forefront of the position?

But Wood quickly reacted, "Damn it, they must have props that can be used as resurrection points."

"Everyone, counterattack!" Wood shouted loudly to his companions, and at the same time turned to look at the artillery squad, "Use the merit points you just obtained to exchange for two more sets of lava bombs! Block them all outside the position for me!"

"Rush in directly and mix with their people, let's see how they can bombard us?" Percy jumped out of the trench, taking the lead, while shouting as he rushed forward.

However, although Percy did not show any timidity when commanding, he also knew that those two cannons were too much of a threat to them.

Although everyone could avoid artillery attacks by rushing into the crowd, they would not be able to completely take stronghold No. 2 in a short time.

Then everyone would need to continuously launch an impact on the position from the temporary resurrection point in the rear, but those two cannons could cut off their support and cut off the attacking troops.

"We must take down those two cannons, otherwise we will not be able to sustain the offensive." Percy thought to himself.

Originally, his plan was not just to hide the troops with the help of smoke and rely on two giants to break through the defense line.

You must know that once this kind of one-time offensive is resolved, it is actually no different from the previous situation.

His real reliance was the temporary resurrection point hidden in the smoke. With it, everyone could quickly resurrect in front of the position and take down the position through continuous impact.

After all, the attacking side's task was only to occupy the position, not to kill all the enemies. As long as they could rush into the center of the stronghold and successfully hold the position for one minute, the position would belong to them.

But these two cannons posed too much of a threat to them. The smoke behind them could last for about 5 minutes. When the smoke dissipated, the other side only needed to fire two shots at the temporary resurrection point, and their offensive would be ruined.

Therefore, either take the position completely within 5 minutes, or eliminate the threat of those two cannons.

On the other side, Wood also had the same idea.

"We must clear that temporary resurrection point, otherwise we won't be able to hold on for long."

Wood knew his own details very well. Although they had deployed a lot of defensive measures in stronghold No. 2, they were basically immovable weapons.

If the battle continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before these defensive measures were activated or destroyed.

Moreover, if they kept fighting, when the opposing side accumulated enough merit points, combat units like the giants just now might appear again.

It wasn't that Wood didn't have similar hired units on his side, but the prices were ridiculously high and the cost performance was very low.

In fact, when he exchanged for Grawp before, he realized that the enemy's offensive exchange items would probably be much cheaper than theirs, while his own defensive equipment was more cost-effective.

And their original biggest advantage was actually the resurrection time. Since they were guarding the position, they could replenish troops extremely quickly and achieve a situation of more fighting less.

But now that the other side has deployed a resurrection point near the point, their advantage is not obvious. What follows will probably be a series of continuous wars of attrition.

And the situation on the scene really did not exceed Wood's expectations. The troops on both sides launched an extremely chaotic battle in the trenches of the position.

A large number of attacking wizards rushed into the position and launched suicide attacks on the defending wizards, throwing various range magics such as explosion spells and flame spells like they were free.

And after they died in battle and resurrected, they returned to the battlefield non-stop, completely in a desperate posture.

However, due to the continuous blocking of the artillery squad, the speed of the wizards rushing to the position after resurrection was slowed down, and the current situation was still biased towards the defending side.

During this period, Percy also organized several waves of offensives, wanting to destroy the artillery squad, but because the distance was too far and the defenders stubbornly blocked them, their plan did not succeed.

Just as the intensity of the battlefield was getting stronger and stronger, Hermione and Harry's air force also arrived at the scene one after another.

After discovering that Hermione and the others had returned, Wood was overjoyed and shouted through the walkie-talkie, "I'll help you deal with the enemies behind. You guys quickly enter that smoke. There is a temporary resurrection point deployed by the other party inside. We won't be able to hold on for long if we don't solve it!"

Hermione, who was approaching the sky above, didn't expect the situation to be so anxious, and quickly responded, "No problem, leave it to us."

After saying that, she called several teammates to turn their heads and fly towards the smoke area.

At the same time, Percy also discovered Harry and his party who had come to support. The reason why they were fighting so hard at this time was also because they didn't have enough manpower. Now that they had joined, it was like sending charcoal in the snow.

"Cedric!" Percy also took the time to contact him, "Don't worry about Hermione and the others anymore. Did you see the two cannons behind the position? Find a way to take them down!"

"Understood!" Cedric responded loudly, and then conveyed the order to the surrounding companions.

However, just as they were preparing to launch an attack on the location of the artillery, two screams suddenly came from around them.

It turned out that two 'scattering cannons' had been erected on the ground at some point. This weapon, shaped like an anti-aircraft machine gun, could fire a dozen dense magic bullets at once, like a burst of shotguns.

Two of their companions were shot by a volley of 'scattering cannons', shattering the flying brooms under them, and before they could fall to the ground from a high altitude, they were turned into white light by another round of shooting.

After killing the two, the defenders controlling the 'scattering cannons' fired at the crowd in the sky again, and soon the magic bullets flying all over the sky hit another enemy who couldn't dodge.

"Quickly find a way to land. The opponent's anti-aircraft weapons are too sharp!" Cedric was also taken aback by the opponent's scattering cannons. Under this dense artillery fire, they couldn't stay in the air for long.

So the surviving few immediately drove their brooms towards the bottom, during which they also tried to get as close as possible to the location of those two cannons.

Fortunately, after two more people were shot down, Cedric, Harry, and Neville finally landed successfully, and they were still located in the area behind the position.

At this time, most of the defenders were resisting the attack on the front line, and they could hardly see any enemies in their field of vision.

The three did not hesitate at all when they saw this, and rushed towards the direction where the artillery was deployed.
