Chapter 587: Vice Admiral Takes Action!
At this moment.
This vast Plain located between the Plato Region in the west and the Longxi Mountain Range in the south was divided into two large Zones.
Above, on the north side.
The Battlefield between the Heavy Tank Group and the Blazing Fire Alchemy Knights.
Below, on the south side, was the Battlefield between thirty thousand armored infantry and fifteen thousand Gun-wielding Soldiers. Metal Jet streams flew everywhere; whenever they hit hard Armor or Shields, they could easily melt through, killing the infantry behind them.
This cruel fact greatly shocked the surrounding infantry and Junior Alchemists.
Previously, when fighting against the Imperial Army, bullets from those Firearms struggled to penetrate Armor Defense quickly unless they hit the same spot repeatedly. So they hadn't taken the Automatic Rifles in the hands of the Auxiliary Soldiers seriously before. But now the latter told them that 'Jet Bullet' could not only be used as Tank Cannonballs but also as Firearms Bullets; in fact, it was even born as a Bullet in the first place.
And the price the Alchemy Kingdom side had to Pay was the rows of infantry Lives falling like Wheat.
This scene.
It was like a reproduction of the cross-Era crushing scene of Weapons against Cold Weapons, but this didn't mean the Auxiliary Legion side didn't suffer any Casualties.
When that mass of 'Dark Clouds' in the Sky fell to the ground.
Strange Metal Long Arrows nailed Soldiers to or behind Trucks, and even hiding under the Truck chassis would result in being pierced through along with the vehicle.
"Damnable Otherworld Invaders, you have committed Crimes!"
"Sanctions upon you!"
"Unforgivable, cannot be forgiven!"
Among the Large Army currently charging, men and women wearing White Robes had Anger written all over their faces, shouting various righteous curses, while simultaneously raising both palms and heavily striking their Chests.
In this process, the surrounding armored infantry, however, were using their Shields, their Armor, and even their Flesh and Blood to block the attacks of those Jet Bullets for them.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle]
Suddenly, at different Positions on the Alchemists' White Robes, Pentagram Arrays glowing with Electric Flash appeared one by one.
"Earth Pierce!"
"Quintuple Cannon!"
"Great Fire Burning!"
"Freeze Before Me!"
For a time, Accompanied By their shouts, various forms of Ranged Attack bombarded the front Position of the Auxiliary Legion. Among them, the most repeated types were various Cannons or Firearms.
For most Junior Alchemists, it was most convenient to directly gather materials on the spot and create these Weapons. As for those who used Flame, Ice, and earth spikes, they belonged to the minority of Experts or Geniuses.
But no matter what.
This sudden mid-range Ranged Attack indeed caused a large number of deaths and injuries among the Soldiers of the Auxiliary Legion, and even the Military Trucks used as Defense facilities were damaged quite a bit.
This was the classic Combat style of the Alchemy Kingdom.
The armored infantry Legion was responsible for acting as Shields, Alchemists were responsible for defending against the enemy's Ranged Attack, and at the same time served as their own Ranged Attackers. When necessary, they would also take action to eliminate some difficult Targets. Similar to the Imperial Fist Temple Disciples and Beastman Warriors on The Empire's side.
"The opponent's Means are basically Understand. Let our young men go into Combat."
"As for that group of 'Flame Cavalry', leave them to Vice Admiral Engel and Vice Admiral William, the two Brigade Commanders!"
Charlotte Oven withdrew his Gaze from the Virtual Screen in the Sky, no longer looking at the Auxiliary Legion Soldiers still fighting fiercely in those Screen Feeds. To him, these Soldiers from the Otherworld were purely Cannon Fodder used to probe the enemy's Means.
In fact, he wasn't the only one holding this view. Most Officers at the Army Headquarters were like this. Only people like Mima Amatori and Sanemi Shinazugawa could make them take notice.
"Yes!"
The surrounding Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals said in unison, each revealing a Smile full of Fighting Intent.
The next second.
Accompanied By the whistling sound, only Charlotte Oven remained In the Court. The reason he didn't take action was because he knew the opponent still had two Stronger Alchemists.
"Kingdom Alchemists with Honorary Titles, I wonder how long you can endure..."
On the distant Plain Battlefield, the surging Fire Wave formed by the Blazing Fire Knights Order was still raging wildly in the northern Zone, forcefully enduring the continuous Bombardment from the Heavy Tanks, incinerating the Heavy Tanks they encountered along the way. It indeed had a magnificent Aura that could crush everything.
[Clang!]
Suddenly, the sound of a Blade being unsheathed echoed throughout Heaven and Earth.
The next moment.
The Blazing Fire Knights Order members enveloped in Gunfire Flash saw a blue Energy Blade four to five meters tall appear in front of them, vertically slashing towards their side. This caused the Pupils of the foremost few to suddenly contract.
"Charge!!!"
But they immediately reacted, deciding not to dodge at all and charge forward to take it head-on. When it came to head-on clashes, who did their Blazing Fire Knights Order fear?
[Rumble rumble rumble...]
The hooves of the Banetta Warhorses powerfully trampled on the ground full of Shell Craters, stirring up the surrounding Flames and Gales as they galloped forward, until the foremost Position came into contact with that Blade Light.
[Splatter splatter splatter splatter!]
It was like a cold Blade cutting through a fiery Orochi. Whether it was the Flames or the Air Current, along with the hundreds of Knights in a line within, all were tragically dismembered, and then automatically burned in the Gunfire Flash, turning into ash and molten Iron.
"How is this possible!"
All the Blazing Fire Knights Order members were instantly stunned, and Feng and Hugh standing on the City Wall Top in the rear were also dumbfounded.
But this was not over yet.
Who could have imagined that behind that terrifying Blade Light, another almost identical Blade Light was hidden?
[Splatter splatter splatter splatter!]
The vertical Blade Light connected to the previous 'opening' and sliced in, killing the remaining hundred or so Knights on that line, completely splitting this fiercely burning 'Fire Wave' into two.
At the same time, all the Flames instantly vanished.
Because the 'Circular Formation' was no longer formed, the Effect of Alchemy was naturally terminated. But before the remaining two thousand-plus Blazing Fire Knights could adjust their Positions and re-draw the Alchemy Array.
[Boom boom boom boom!]
They saw two figures wearing Black Coats and wielding Blades, standing a full two point three to two point four meters tall, wrapped in layers of White Mist generated by Sonic Booms, crashing head-on into the Knights Order that was still maintaining its charge, with an extremely Strong Posture.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Monster!"
In an instant, the front section of the Knights Order was thrown into chaos, men and horses falling. Their Equipment, Shields, and even Lances, comparable to Ministerial Arms and Nether Treasures, were incredibly fragile like Paper under the Blade Light and sword shadows wielded by those two Black Shadows. Whether it was the Knights or the Warhorses, they were all dismembered, Decapitated, and had their Limbs flying everywhere on the spot.
By the time the entire Knights Order, using their forward charging Speed, finally separated from those two Monster-like Black-clothed Swordsmen, they were horrified to find that their numbers were less than fifteen hundred.
That is to say, in that brief head-on clash just now, they actually suffered over six hundred Sacrifices!
This result not only terrified the Members of the Blazing Fire Knights Order but also stunned the Auxiliary Soldiers inside the Tanks not far away. The 'Fire Wave' that their thousand Heavy Tanks could only barely Resist together was directly crippled by those mere two people?
"I just slaughtered three hundred and twenty-six, what about you?" Vice Admiral Engel proudly swung the Nichirin Blade in his hand, which was already in its 'Crimson Blade' Form. Vice Admiral William beside him glanced at him and said irritably.
"I'm not interested in calculating how many people I killed. Let's just quickly clean up the rest."
"The sooner we finish, the sooner I can go back and see my lovely daughter!"
