Chapter 127: Real war

"The mortals know nothing about power! They think that by killing the dragon knight and the giant horse cavalry, you can defeat the Holy Demon Empire." A magician stood on a high ground and looked at the Higgs building in the distance. The frontier fortress, hummed coldly.

The general standing next to him pressed the long sword in his hand and nodded in agreement: "Don’t they need to think about the power of their tiny brains to make those dragons surrender under our crotch and become let us drive Of the mount!"

The talking mage stepped sideways, revealing the huge magic circle that had been carved on the ground behind him: "Since they don't know, let them see how the real Saint Demon Empire army fought!"

"Prepare for a long-range magic attack!" Following his order, an old man in a magic robe shouted loudly. By his side, hundreds of magicians raised their hands above his head.

A giant dragon was chained to a bulky metal flatbed by a strong iron chain. This cart, which was several times larger than the train carriage, was dragged by the mountain beast and pulled to the edge of the open space where the magic circle was outlined. The surrounding magicians chanted magic spells, and the light on their bodies shone slightly.

A tall soldier stood on the giant wagon. Holding a sharp battle axe, he rounded his arms and slashed the dragon's neck with a stab. Under the action of the huge force, the neck of the giant dragon broke about one-third of it all at once, and the blood spurted out all at once, flowing everywhere.

The giant dragon was obviously not dead yet, it was struggling under the restraint of the chains, but it was unable to move its body. Those chains engraved with magic runes seemed to have an instinctive binding force on it, so it couldn't break free of its own shackles at all.

The screams of the dragon echoed throughout the sky, as if it were the voice of death left in this world. No matter how this dragon struggles, blood filled with magic continues to flow into the blood groove reserved on the car board, and then gather and pour into the magic circle drawn on the ground in a specific gap.

The blood was flowing along the gully of the magic circle, and the blood radiating light blue seemed to boil in the magic circle. The voices of the magicians around chanting magic spells became more complex and rapid, and words that did not resemble human beings spouted out of their mouths.

"The bombardment begins! Let those mortals repent for their ignorance!" Seeing the huge magic circle in front of him began to gather huge magic energy, a magician led a whole piece of pure magic crystal mine. The center of the magic circle.

"Huh!" A fireball larger than a house soared into the sky from the magic circle, drawing a graceful arc in the sky, rushing towards the Higgs border in the distance with an indomitable momentum.

In the shocked eyes of the Ailan Hill grenadiers, this huge fireball hit the wall of the huge fortress not far behind them, completely evaporating a whole section of the wall to ashes.

The scorching flame had not completely disappeared after destroying the city wall, and then broke apart again, devouring the surrounding life. With just one attack, a 30mm anti-aircraft gun and all soldiers deployed around it completely disappeared from the world.

And just as the flames raged on this position, more fireballs rose into the air in the direction of the Magic Empire army over there, flying one by one towards the Ailan Hill line of defense on the Higgs border.

"Fire and counterattack! No matter what you do! Counterattack immediately!" An officer put down his binoculars, looked back at his adjutant, and ordered loudly: "Let all the artillery fire! Pour your own to the enemy's position. Cannonball! Quick!"

"Huh!" In the voice of his command, behind the Magic Legion of the Holy Demon Empire in the distance, a dragon rose into the sky. As the dragon spread its wings and soared, there were more dragons on both sides of it. When these dragon knights took off, they were so densely packed that they looked like a swarm of wild bees.

Before these dragon knights could continue to climb, the one that flew towards them was the cannonball fired by Ailan Hill that covered the sky and covered the sun. Before the dragon knight had time to twist his body, he was hit by a 05mm howitzer on the wing and screamed and fell to the ground.

The 05 mm caliber shell that penetrated the dragon's wings exploded in mid-air, forming a metal storm, sifting all the surrounding dragons. But the other artillery shells were not so lucky. They fell into the army of the Holy Demon Empire, and then exploded, raising a lot of black smoke.

A 75mm howitzer shell happened to land on a magic circle, and the explosion left a huge black smoke crater in the magic circle. The surrounding mages staggered a few steps, and several people injured by the shrapnel fell to the ground.

On Ailan Hill's defensive position, in the telescope of a frontline commander, the wilderness hillside in the direction of the Holy Demon Empire was sifted by cannonballs. Clouds of black smoke rose into the sky, and countless hills were enveloped by huge artillery fire.

The fireball skills that fell on Ailan Hill's position were decreasing, but there were still fireballs smashing into the trenches or barbed wire, and instantly exploded, devouring everything around them. The soldiers huddled in the fortifications that had been constructed a long time ago, holding their weapons for an unprecedented experience.

For the 2nd Army of Ailan Hill, it was the first time that it had encountered an enemy that could engage them head-on. Even in some respects, such opponents have an advantage over them in some respects.

A fireball landed on a trench, and because of the constraints of the trench, the fireball filled the trench into a long fire dragon. The soldiers in the trenches struggled in the flames, and then turned into pieces of coke.

The position on the other side was also not very pleasant, and Ailan Hill's artillery force seemed to have an advantage in number. Whether it is a small-caliber 75mm infantry gun or a large-caliber 55mm howitzer, one shot is fatal to the fragile magic army.

"The dragon is approaching!" A boldly poked his head out and looked at the opposite soldier, he retracted and shouted to his comrades in horror. As he shouted, the soldiers on the machine gun position crawled out of their hiding place, wiped the dust on their faces, and were ready for battle.

"Fight to the last moment! Mortals are never slaves!" An officer drew out his pistol from his waist, raised it above his head, glaring at the dragon approaching in the distance, and loudly encouraged his men.

On his left hand, a huge fireball just fell, engulfing a machine gun position, engulfing a company's defense line, engulfing soldiers in the trenches, and leaving flames beating everywhere on the ground...

This is almost comparable to the battlefield of the First World War. Even if it is just a comparison of the firepower of the two sides, it can be regarded as a cruel modern war. The attack of the Magic Legion was indeed effective. The Ailan Hill soldiers in the first line of defense suffered heavy losses within an hour of the beginning of the engagement.

"Huh!..." A giant dragon swept across Ailan Hill's line of defense, spreading its huge figure over the head of the soldier who was about to collapse. Its wings flapped in the wind, and it stirred up the flames scattered on the ground.

The entire battlefield was like hell, with burnt smells and leaping flames everywhere. Under the scorching flames, the soldiers of Ailan Hill raised their heads and held up their weapons.

"Tutu! Tutu!" The heavy machine gun position that had been silent suddenly roared, and dense tracer bullets intertwined into a huge fire net in the air. The fire dragon spitting flames was suddenly enveloped in the fire net, and instantly screamed and fell to the ground.

With the fall of this fire dragon, more fire dragons swept across the line of defense of mortals. They spewed flames raging over the battlefield, and the mortal anti-aircraft guns fired fiercely, causing these fire dragons to also suffer huge losses.

"Indeed, such a mortal country is enough to be our opponent." Standing on the hillside, looking at the battlefield that has become **** in front of him, the leader of the Holy Demon Empire sighed with emotion.

He really didn't expect that even if he had drawn back a main force of the Holy Demon Empire from the frontal battlefield, when attacking the Mortal Empire, he would still have a slight advantage in the scene.

Who could have imagined that the Holy Demon Empire, which had deployed an army of 100,000, would not be able to secure the frontier defense of the little Higgs Kingdom? Who would have thought that the sacred Magic Legion would even fight the opponent's artillery?

"The magic attack continues! It begins to extend farther...the first line of defense, their counterattack is almost silent, just let the giant horse cavalry go up and sweep away." The general looked at the magician next to him, He asked: "How about the loss of the Magic Legion?"

"Our loss is acceptable. The enemy's artillery is very fierce, but our magic circle is scattered, so the casualties are not large." The magician replied calmly.

Just now, his troops almost lost hundreds of magicians. If these losses are placed on the battlefield against the Norma Empire, it is indeed a tolerable category. But this kind of loss is placed on the battlefield against the mortal empire, which is a completely different concept.

Compared to their loss, Ailan Hill's loss can really be described as heavy. The 2 garrison regiments of the 2nd Army were completely maimed on the front line, and even few survivors were withdrawn.

The main force on the second line of defense, two of the three infantry regiments under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Division suffered heavy losses and have lost the ability to continue fighting. The powerful attack power of the Magic Legion instantly stunned the Second Army, which had never encountered such a strong opponent.
