Vice Admiral Takes Action!
At this time.
This vast plain, situated between the Plato Region to the west and the Longxi Mountains to the south, is divided into two large areas.
Above, to the north.
The battlefield belongs to the heavily armored tank group and the Frenzied Flame Alchemy Knights.
Below, on the south side.
The battlefield was between 30,000 armored infantry and 15,000 spearmen. The jets of metal shooting into the sky easily penetrated the hard armor or shields, killing the infantrymen behind them.
This brutal fact greatly shocked the other infantrymen and novice Alchemists around them.
In the past, when fighting against the Imperial Army, unless the bullets from those guns hit the same spot repeatedly, it was difficult for them to penetrate armor in a short time.
Therefore, they hadn't taken the automatic rifles carried by the auxiliary soldiers seriously before.
But now the latter tells them that 'Jet Bullet' can be used not only as tank shells but also as firearm bullets, and that they were even originally conceived as bullets.
The price the Alchemi Kingdom had to pay was the lives of its infantrymen, who fell like wheat stalks.
This scene.
It was like a replica of the revolutionary scene of firearms overwhelming cold weapons, but that doesn't mean the Auxiliary Corps suffered no casualties.
The dark cloud in the sky fell to the ground.
Strange, long metal arrows impaled soldiers on or behind trucks, and even those who hid under the truck chassis were impaled along with the trucks.
"Otherworld invaders from another world, you have committed heinous crimes!"
"We will sanction you!"
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
Amidst the massive army charging forward, men and women in white robes, their faces contorted with rage, hurled righteous curses while simultaneously slapping their chests together.
During this process, the armored infantry around them used their own shields, their own armor, and even their own flesh and blood to shield them from the attacks of the Jet Bullet.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle]
Suddenly, Pentagram crackling with electricity appeared in different places on the Alchemists' white robes.
"Earth Spike!"
"Fivefold Cannon!"
"Great Fire Incineration!"
Freeze before me!
In an instant, accompanied by their shouts, various forms of ranged attacks bombarded the front-line positions of the Auxiliary Corps, with the most repetitive types being various artillery pieces or firearms.
For most novice Alchemists, the most convenient way was to simply use readily available materials to create these firearms.
Those who wield fire, ice, and earth spikes belong to a small group of experts or geniuses.
But regardless.
This sudden mid-range bombardment caused heavy casualties among the Auxiliary Corps's soldiers, and even many of the military trucks used as defensive structures were damaged.
This is the classic fighting style of the Alchemi Kingdom.
The armored infantry legions act as shields, while the Alchemists defend against enemy ranged attacks and serve as ranged attackers for their own side, and will also take out troublesome targets when necessary.
Similar to the Imperial Fist Temple disciples and orc warriors in the Empire.
"We have a basic understanding of their tactics. Let's send our lads into battle."
"As for those 'Flame Riders,' leave them to Vice Admiral Enge and Vice Admiral Wiaem, the two brigade commanders, to handle!"
Charlotte Oven turned his gaze away from the virtual screen in the air, no longer looking at the Auxiliary Corps soldiers who were still fighting fiercely on the screen.
To him, these soldiers from Otherworld were nothing more than cannon fodder used to test the enemy's methods.
In fact, he wasn't the only one holding this view; most of the officers and generals in the Army Headquarters thought so. Only people like Biba Amatori and Sanemi Shinazugawa could make them take it somewhat seriously.
"Yes!"
The Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral around him spoke in unison, all revealing smiles full of fighting spirit.
The next second.
With a series of whooshing sounds, only Charlotte Oven in the arena. He hadn't made a move because he knew his opponent had two even stronger Alchemists.
"Kingdom Alchemists with honorary titles, I wonder how long you can endure this?"
On the distant plains battlefield, the Frenzied Fire Knights was still raging wildly in the northern area, stubbornly withstanding the constant shelling of the heavy tanks and incinerating one heavy tank after another it encountered along the way.
It certainly possesses an overwhelming and unstoppable momentum.
[Clang!]
Suddenly, the sound of a blade being drawn echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The next moment.
Enveloped in Huoguang, the raging knights saw a blue blade of energy, four or five meters high, slashing vertically towards them, causing the pupils of the leading knights to shrink abruptly.
"Rush!!!"
But they quickly realized what was happening and decided not to dodge at all, but to charge straight at it and take the hit head-on.
In a head-on confrontation, who are the Frenzied Fire Knights afraid of?
[Boom!]
Banetta Warhorse's warhorse pounded powerfully on the cratered ground, whipping up flames and Tornado up the surrounding wind as it galloped forward until its very tip made contact with the flash of the blade.
[Pfft pfft pfft pfft!]
It was like a cold blade slicing through a fiery Orochi; flames and shockwaves alike, along with the hundreds of knights in the line within, were all brutally torn apart, then spontaneously combusted in the Huoguang, turning into ashes and molten iron.
"How is that possible!"
All the Fiery Knights were instantly stunned, and Feng and Xiu, who were standing on the city wall behind them, were also dumbfounded.
But this is not the end.
Who could have imagined that behind that terrifying flash of light, there was another, almost identical flash of light?
[Pfft pfft pfft pfft!]
The vertical blade flashed in, continuing from the previous 'cut', slicing through and killing the remaining hundred or so knights along the line, completely splitting the raging 'wave of fire' in two.
At the same time, all the flames vanished instantly.
Because the 'circular array' no longer took shape, the effect of the alchemy was naturally terminated. However, before the remaining two thousand-plus raging knights could adjust their positions and re-dig out the alchemical array, the alchemical array was already in place.
[Boom boom boom boom!]
Two figures, each clad in black overcoats and standing at least 2.3 to 2.4 meters tall, wielding swords and accompanied by layers of Sound Explosion and white mist, charged head-on into the still-charging knights with tremendous force.
"Aaaaaah!"
"Monster!"
In Setsuna, the front of the knights were thrown into chaos. Their armor, shields, and even lances, comparable to those of Shingu Nether Treasures or a demonic artifact, were as fragile as paper under the flashing blades of the two dark figures.
Knights and warhorses alike were all dismembered, beheaded, and had their limbs torn apart on the spot.
Once the entire knightly order had finally separated from the two monstrous black-clad swordsmen using the momentum of their charge, they were horrified to discover that they had less than 1,500 men left.
In other words, they lost more than 600 people in that brief exchange of fire!
This result not only terrified the members of the Frenzied Fire Knights, but also stunned the auxiliary soldiers inside the tanks not far away.
The 'fire wave' that even a thousand heavily armored tanks could barely withstand was decimated by just two people?
"I just killed 326, how about you?"
Lieutenant Vice Admiral Enge proudly swung the Nichirin Blade, which was now in its 'Crimson Blade' form, in his hand. Lieutenant Vice Admiral Wiaem, standing beside him, glanced at him and said irritably.
"I have no interest in counting how many people I've killed; I'd rather hurry up and clean up the rest."
"The sooner I finish, the sooner I can go back to see my lovely daughter!"
