Chapter 385: The Funeral Song of Iron and Fire

Chapter 383 The Funeral Song of Iron and Fire

As the pioneer cannon fodder, the Dark Demon Dog was the first to trigger the various mines buried at the front.

Immediately, explosions echoed one after another.

The orange-red fireball suddenly expanded, and smoke and various fragments flew everywhere.

There are particularities in the laying of mines. They cannot be too dense or too sparse.

The former may cause chain explosions, while the latter will greatly reduce the significance of the minefield.

Especially when fighting in Naroa, there is no need to consider whether the opponent will clear the mines.

The colorful explosions made the front become gorgeous.

The arrival of the moonlit night, coupled with the cover of the dark light curtain, made the visibility around poor.

All around was darkness.

Different battle forts were separated by more than ten kilometers and were isolated from each other.

And those battle lines were located further back between the two battle forts.

So whenever the monsters launched an attack, except for the light in the back, there was still light.

The front and both sides were all pitch black.

Looking around, you will unconsciously feel a sense of loneliness.

As the monsters advance, the black fog of war will continue to follow.

After the mines were triggered, the dark dogs were immediately shocked.

Anti-infantry mines are not that scary. At best, they will form a stranglehold with flying shrapnel.

The real big momentum is the anti-tank mines.

The calf-sized dark dogs were blown away like flowers scattered by fairies.

The chaotic magic power protecting the body was quickly annihilated.

When the dark dog group stepped into the minefield, the scene was very spectacular.

It was as if the layers of advancing fire were ignited.

The orange flames continued to surge, illuminating the area several kilometers ahead.

When the monsters began to charge, the situation originally hidden in the fog behind was gradually exposed.

Behind the dark dogs and the four-eyed ogres were seven or eight huge siege vehicles.

The main body of these siege vehicles was made of thick black and gray skeletons.

Each siege vehicle is more than 20 meters wide and definitely not less than 45 meters long.

This is what Chen Xuan estimated from the images fed back by the drone.

Because these siege vehicles are still far beyond the sight of the naked eye.

There are solid baffles in front of them, covered with a layer of thick black skin.

There are three large and one small ramming horns in front of the baffles.

Those ramming horns are also very strange, as if they are assembled from the horns of many monsters.

With a deformed sense of deterrence.

In addition, each ramming horn is filled with black and purple lightning arcs.

Adding a few more hideous touches.

These siege vehicles are topped with solid light curtain shields, which have the characteristics of being able to resist and open the way.

Pushing these huge siege vehicles forward are several rock-skinned giants with a height of more than ten meters.

They belong to the category of fourth-level monsters with thick skin and hard flesh.

Both defense and strength are particularly outstanding.

The disadvantage is that they move slowly and are easily targeted by giant crossbows and magic cannons on large battlefields.

So it is usually used as a laborer or as a monster to counter the attack of the Naroa native army.

In terms of strength, it is even comparable to the platinum strongman of humans.

But Chen Xuan was not surprised by this.

He knew a long time ago that the talents of ethnic groups are often greater than the gap in rank.

Humans are not good at strength.

In the same rank, the strength of some ethnic groups is even dozens of times that of humans.

It is not that Chen Xuan has no way to achieve a similar effect.

It's just that he doesn't want to.

Methods like those blood baptisms can make his physique undergo earth-shaking changes.

At the same time, the price to pay is to completely stop being a human.

Just like Ancetus became a half-dragon.

Chen Xuan didn't feel anything about this, perhaps because he had a retreat and confidence with the support of another world.

Although he longed for power, he was not crazy enough.

In comparison, he still wanted to be more human.

Moreover, he entered the game with a cheat, and he never relied on just brute force.

In addition to seven or eight siege vehicles, there were a large group of goblins behind them.

As cannon fodder, they did not charge at the first time, but hid behind the siege vehicles.

This made Chen Xuan a little confused.

It was not until the battle line continued to move forward that he knew the answer.

Behind the goblin group was a large group of huge black snakes.

Chen Xuan was familiar with the monster illustrations, and he recognized these black snakes as demon-eating pythons at a glance.

It can devour its own kind or other monsters to strengthen itself.

It is usually a scavenger among monsters.

Those goblins are most likely the food of the demon-eating python.

As long as the number of devoured is enough, these fourth-level pythons can even have the strength comparable to the sixth-level monsters.

The battle situation changed in an instant.

Since the dark demon dog group stepped into the minefield, various explosions have almost never stopped.

This made them confused.

In half a minute, they advanced about one kilometer.

The explosion spread for one kilometer.

The road was full of corpses of dark demon dogs.

More than 20,000 dark demon dogs ran a distance of only one kilometer and lost as many as five or six thousand.

Chen Xuan saw with his own eyes that the group of dark demon dogs slowed down.

At this moment, they were at least six kilometers away from the fortress.

When laying the mines, Chen Xuan had studied the location and direction of the fortress.

Only a few thousand mines were buried on each side, and only two minefield passages were randomly deployed in the rear for emergency retreat.

90% of the more than 100,000 mines were deployed in the front.

Because the first few rounds of attacks by monsters can only come from the front.

No matter how weak the node battle forts on both sides are, they can at least block for a while.

So Chen Xuan buried mines in the arc range from the thorn fort to the front seven or eight kilometers away.

There are almost no blind spots. If this group of monsters take a detour, they will hit the other side of the battle line and battle fort.

Now this group of dark demon dogs has suffered a big loss.

They haven't even approached yet, and they have lost nearly one-third of them.

These hundreds of thousands of monsters seem to be unable to withstand the tossing.

It can be seen that the commander of this group of monsters is not stupid.

After discovering that there is something fishy in front, he immediately stopped the dark demon dogs.

The current distance between the two sides is beyond the range of the giant crossbow and the magic cannon.

The monsters still have room for adjustment.

Chen Xuan was not panicked at all, nor was he in a hurry to take the initiative to attack.

He was as steady as a snake.

This battle was different from the defense of Magtan City.

He had too much room for maneuver.

The drone hovered in the sky without any fluctuations of any living creature.

In perception, it was no different from a dead object.

This made the flying monster group turn a blind eye to it, and the intelligence pictures were continuously transmitted back.

The one he was using now was the reconnaissance modification of the Wing Dragon drone provided by Xia Country.

As a veteran in the field of Xia Country's drones, the Wing Dragon was partially modified earlier than the Rainbow series.

Now there are modifications for emergency rescue communications, lighting, and also reconnaissance types.

Its hovering time is as long as eight hours.

After the dark demon dog cluster stopped.

The monster groups following closely also stopped one after another.

The next moment, the monsters took new measures.

The demon-eating pythons further behind began to devour the goblins as cannon fodder in advance.

Those goblins screamed, but it was useless and they could not escape the fate of being eaten.

The mission of many low-level monsters was just to fill the road to victory.

Even if it was just a trivial step, for the high-level demon generals, those cannon fodders died for a good reason.

After devouring tens of thousands of goblins.

Four demon-devouring pythons left the rear queue.

They were like a surging train, violently crushing the earth.

The scales of the giant pythons emitted purple light, smooth and hard.

Obvious grooves and depressions were left wherever they passed.

They rushed to the front recklessly, and did not forget to devour the bodies of the dark demon dogs that were killed on the spot along the way.

This made the four demon-devouring pythons responsible for the advance even larger.

The speed of the galloping advance was very fast, almost directly brushing past the paused dark demon dogs.

The four demon-devouring pythons shuttled into the minefield recklessly.

A series of explosions were caused along the way.

This principle is similar to the rocket mine rope in Blue Star.

Both use the linear detonation method, but at this time, it is not the rope explosives that detonate these mines but the flesh of these demon-devouring pythons.

Their defense is terrifyingly strong.

The explosion of anti-tank mines only makes the purple light on the surface tremble slightly.

According to this trend, they can at least sweep the mines within a range of three to four kilometers.

This is actually the most embarrassing part of the mine array.

That is, it is easy to lose its due effect when encountering monsters with strong defense.

Each demon-devouring python weighs at least thousands of tons and is 20 to 30 meters long.

The mines that can blow up tanks can't do anything to these big snakes.

Chen Xuan looked at the changes in the picture and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stood at the highest point of the fortress and could see the flames of the explosion approaching from a distance.

In just a dozen seconds, the four demon-devouring pythons had swept away the mines within a range of about one kilometer, and the purple light on their surface was almost dimmed by a quarter.

The solid scales also showed signs of damage.

It looks like it can still hold out for a while.

"Prepare to detonate the explosive piles in Area 1 and Area 6."

Slightly lowering his head, Chen Xuan issued a new order to the intercom worn on his collar.

He had prepared many contingency plans.

The current situation was still within his expectations.

For this situation, the high-energy explosive points he had ordered to be buried in advance can come in handy.

At each point, hundreds of kilograms to tons of high-energy explosives were buried.

At this time, two of the four snakes approached a pile of explosives.

After Chen Xuan gave the order, the electromagnetic delay was less than half a second.

Two mushroom clouds suddenly rose in front.

These mushroom clouds rolled to more than ten meters high.

Just happened to blow up the two demon-devouring pythons from the side and half of them rose from the ground.

The purple light on his body dimmed instantly, and Yao Jiao's actions were forced to stop.

Wounds appeared in the middle of the bodies of the two demon-devouring pythons.

But it was not fatal, but the movement became much slower.

Chen Xuan was not surprised at all by this situation.

This kind of giant monster, with its long body, is difficult to kill in one go.

Moreover, they have been strengthened by the Devourer, and their vitality is very strong.

"Detonate No. 2 and No. 3..."

"Send out the commandos, carrying the Demon Tear Bomb..."

"Detonate No. 9 and No. 11 in 3 seconds..."

"No. 19..."

Chen Xuan methodically arranged to detonate the explosive piles in different areas according to their movement trajectory.

After seven or eight violent explosions in succession, the four demon-devouring pythons were all injured.

Explosions have always been the funeral song of iron and fire.

As long as the firepower is sufficient, nothing can't be killed.

If they are not killed, it is because the firepower is not enough.

These four demon-devouring pythons seemed to have received some new orders and temporarily chose to retreat.

Their bodies were stained with blood, and huge wounds could be seen.

The explosion tore the shield-sized scales.

There were still gullies everywhere.

It's just that those gullies were soaked with purple-black demon blood.

The giant python twisted wildly, turned its snake head, and its broken body was bleeding.

At this time, several figures flew through the air.

It was the Magtan garrison.

These garrison soldiers wore goggles and carried a jet backpack behind them.

After quickly reaching the sky above the Devouring Demon Python, the garrison soldiers aimed at the bottom and dropped more than a dozen Demon Tear bombs, and then left without looking back.

These jetpacks were also spoils of war from Blue Star.

Thanks to the learning ability of the Naroya warriors, they mastered it completely in just a few Naroya days.

The Demon Tear bombs dropped were directly detonated.

The mercury inside was blown out and scattered on the huge body of the Devouring Demon Python.

This made the python, which was still twisting and turning its head, tremble suddenly.

The Demon Tear annihilated the chaotic magic power in their bodies and devoured the surging vitality.

But the wounds on the python became a death warrant, allowing the Demon Tear to work from the inside out.

This is equivalent to a double kill inside and outside.

The original Demon Dragon Bailey couldn't stand it.

Chen Xuan looked at the screen with confidence. The four Devouring Demon Pythons twisted and struggled for a few minutes before they died completely.

At this point, the monster's offensive was curbed.

Or the guy commanding this group of monsters didn't react at all.

The situation in front of them was beyond their cognition.

First, there were endless explosions, and then there were explosives made of magic tears.

The front of the battle fortress has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It is not the conventional means of resistance used by the natives of Naroa.

The one in charge of commanding the attack here is [Trampling Demon Elephant Par Anfinson], a subordinate of the Dread Demon General Balnazar, and it is a little overwhelmed now.

Thinking about whether to send out the Dread Trampling Legion.

But worried about encountering a similar situation.

After thinking about it, it decided to change its strategy and send out the goblins that were supposed to be the rations of the giant python.

These goblins continued to advance forward in a scattered formation.

Unexpectedly, this move was a good thing.

The most cost-effective way is to hit the mine head-on.

Of course, the so-called cost-effectiveness here is relative.

Anyway, it will be filled with the lives of countless monsters.

Although it is not a bottomless pit.

But it was enough to seriously injure the monsters here.

Since they had to use the lives of monsters anyway, they might as well send out the cheapest cannon fodder.

Chen Xuan still didn't care about it.

Because his goal had been achieved.
