Chapter 778: Changes in the nature of war!

On the coastal area about three hundred kilometers away from the west side of the Kingdom of Tristein.

The sky-shaking roars and killing sounds filled the air, and the sounds of continuous artillery fire and magic bombings came one after another.

Looking down from above.

You can see two large and powerful magical armies, fighting fiercely on the vast earth and vast sky with the vast ocean as the background.

It's just that the fighting styles of the two sides are quite different.

Most of the soldiers in the southern army were wearing heavy armor and holding swords, charging bravely.

As for the army to the north, a light-armored soldier held a long-handled musket with a strange shape in his hand, and fired continuously towards the outside with the help of the wall created by earth magic.

On their left and right sides, there were shield soldiers who raised their shields above their heads to block arrows thrown from the sky.

At the back is a magician holding a long staff, ready to defend against incoming magic fireballs or cannonballs.

Then behind them is a cannon array with as many as two hundred people.

Following the deafening sound of cannon fire, raging fire continued to spurt out, tilting towards the large-scale attacking enemy troops, and the barrage filled the sky.

Whenever a cannonball hits the ground, smoke billows and flesh and blood fly.

on the overall scene.

If you ignore the magic warships and dragon knights in the sky.

It doesn't look like two armies from the magical world are at war. Instead, it looks like the cold weapon army from the ancient times and the hot weapon army from the World War I are competing.

Instead, magic elements became a supporting role on the battlefield.

This is Gallia and Albion, the main battlefield between the two great powers!

The former is the so-called "cold weapon army" and the latter is the "hot weapon army", but this does not mean that the former does not have hot weapons.

In fact, they also have cannons, but the number is only forty or fifty according to visual inspection. Compared with the two hundred or so in Albion, it can only be said to be pitiful.

However, the number of artillery in the Kingdom of Gallia is considered normal in this world.

After all, this thing is very bulky, and it also requires the supply of cannonballs. Its power is only equivalent to the 'Fire Ball', so overall it is not as good as a 'Line level (line)' magician.

But artillery does not require mental power, and there is no process of chanting a spell, so each kingdom will prepare some assistants as magicians.

This is also what surprised the senior generals on the Gallia side.

The Kingdom of Albion actually produced so many artillery pieces, and the number of the opponent's magic warships also exceeded the norm.

But the most shocking, even horrifying, part.

Naturally, the opposing soldiers were equipped with a large number of long-handled muskets. The shooting distance, shooting speed, shooting accuracy, and shooting power of those muskets were far beyond the firecrackers they knew.

Although our own infantry regiment is brave and fearless.

But under the hail of bullets and bullets, they continued to fall down row after row, dying meaninglessly during the charge.

This made the generals panic.

It's not that he pities the civilian soldiers who died, but he sees the huge threat this long-handled musket poses to magicians like them.

If this kind of muskets spread.

Then civilians can form an army to confront the magicians head-on.

"They must die! The Kingdom of Albion must be destroyed!"

Marshal Avegni of the Kingdom of Gallia, although his hair is somewhat gray, his resolute face and his fear and aversion to muskets make him look very scary.

This is a staid defender of the aristocracy.

"Yes, it is impossible that the King of Wales did not know the consequences of these muskets, but he still made them, and he made them in large quantities. This is a betrayal of the nobles!"

"Kill him! Destroy all the muskets and blueprints, and the craftsmen involved in their manufacture will die!"

The generals, large and small, all around were also in a state of shock and anger.

The previous war was because Wales and Henrietta's marriage violated the rules of the nobility.

Therefore, even if the Kingdom of Albion and the Kingdom of Tristein were defeated in the end, they would not harm their lives. At most, they would force them to separate.

But now the nature of the war has changed.

It has completely turned to the battle to protect its own class. The cruelty of class struggle is no small matter.

This quickly heated up the situation.

Gallia's offensive intensified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and many generals who mastered superb swordsmanship and magic began to ride dragons into battle themselves.

Among these flying dragons, in addition to the common fire dragons, there are also green wind dragons and blue water dragons.

And not only are they physically much stronger than the dragon knights, but they are also covered in one-piece armor made of fine steel.

This is the background of the great nobles!

really.

Their participation in the war caused a certain suppression on Albion's magic fleet.

As mentioned before, the Kingdom of Albion lost most of its dragon knights, so the main combat forces in the air were concentrated on magic warships.

As for the combat capabilities of the magic warship, in addition to being able to fly at high altitudes, it also has the ten cannons on both sides of the hull and the magicians and musketeers on the deck.

The artillery is responsible for bombing the ground, while the muskets are responsible for preventing the dragon knights from approaching, and the magician takes care of both.

This configuration indeed caused great trouble to the Dragon Knight Legion on Gallia's side.

Because they don't have very thick armor, it's difficult to defend against bullet attacks.

However, compared to dragon knights who are good at fire attributes, dragon knights who are good at water and wind attributes are slightly better.

They can cover themselves with a current or wind shield.

Just doing this will make them lose the ability to release attack magic. After all, this is not an online game world, and there is no setting that their own attack magic can pass through defensive magic.

Unless their magic can reach the level of releasing offensive magic from the outside of defensive magic.

But let alone a 'Liriangle/Triangle' level magician can't do this kind of thing, maybe a 'Square/Four Corner' level magician can do it?

Anyway, not many people have seen a 'Square' level magician.

As for these generals who came from great nobility, because they were covered with stainless steel armor and stomachs, ordinary musket bullets would only emit sparks when hitting them.

In addition, everyone is a 'Tiangle/Triangle' level magician, and they can completely suppress the 'Line/Line' level magicians on the deck.

This allowed them to easily destroy magic warships one after another.

The method is very simple.

Just use powerful magic to penetrate the part of the hull where the 'wind stone' is located. Then the magic warship will lose its energy core and naturally fall down.

However, the overall advantage of the war still lies with Albion.

Because the heroic soldiers of the Kingdom of Gallia were simply unable to break through the firepower network composed of a large number of muskets, and the hail of bullets could easily penetrate their armor and shields.

For a time, they screamed repeatedly amidst the intensive gunfire.

The vast plains were already littered with corpses, and the earth was gradually stained with a layer of blood red.

Although Marshal Avegni was angry about this situation, there was nothing he could do.

Until he received Sheffield's order to suspend the offensive, and then saw the five behemoths brought by the other party personally.

"Everyone please step back, it's time for these 'Yorm Gunter' performances~"

The charming Sheffield stood on the shoulders of an 'iron giant' in the center, looking down at Marshal Avegni with a cold and arrogant expression and issued an order.

"Yorm Gunter?!"

Everyone around them looked at these five steel giants in shock, who were estimated to be more than 20 meters tall and holding a huge black sword.

The pair of red dots in their armor were eerie.
