The Roaring Earth
"Boom——"
With the roar of the engine, Steam Tank lined up in a tight formation, marching like a moving mountain range, with dust and smoke rolling in behind them.
Behind the armored corps, the empire's infantry corps also marched at high speed under the cover of tanks, approaching the city wall in an orderly manner.
And in the sky, Wyverns were flapping their wings, screaming and howling, circling back and forth, spreading in the direction of Avendell Dan like dense dark clouds in a violent storm.
The plain in front of the Avendell Dan city wall has been completely occupied by the Embers of the Burned Legion. The empire's offensive is like a terrifying natural disaster, overwhelmingly pressing towards the Dwarf's fortress.
"Damn"
"This, these guys are really"
In the face of such power, even Dwarf, who has always been brave, couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva, and those rough, bearded faces couldn't help showing surprise and panic.
At this time, Ed had returned to the city under the admiring eyes of all the subjects. His thick armor had become stained with blood, and the metal war hammer was also stained red by Wyvern's blood.
"It's His Majesty Ed!"
"Praise Lord of the High Mountains!"
"Did you see it? His Majesty killed more than a dozen Imperial Reptiles alone!"
"As expected of our king! Ed Long live your majesty!"
Seeing the return of Ed, the Dwarfs were immediately boosted in morale and cheered loudly.
On this war-torn battlefield, King Dwarf stood on the top of the Avendell Dan city wall. His gaze was like a torch, penetrating the Gunsmoke of war. His broad shoulders seemed to be able to support the hope of the entire kingdom.
At this moment, even though he was facing countless enemies, there was no trace of fear on his face, and there was a determined light in his eyes.
——This scene is just like the scene fifty years ago when Ed faced the army of Fadlan alone.
It's just that the fire of life of Ed has been swaying, the Rock Hammer is no longer in the rough palm, and at this time, Avendell Dan only has the last nine thousand left. The current situation of many Dwarf Fighters is more desperate than that of fifty years ago. Dwarfs can only place their last hope on their king.
Ed's voice was low and powerful, like the roar of the mountains, echoing on the stone city wall.
"Compatriots, today we face unprecedented challenges. Those arrogant invaders want to trample our land with their iron knots and destroy our homes with flames! However, I ask you, have the courage and determination of Dwarf been swallowed up by fear?"
Dwarfs shouted, "No!"
The artillery fire was still fierce, but Ed didn't care. He just looked down from a high position, and his firm eyes scanned the faces of every Dwarf below him.
This is a battlefield, and the empire's snipers don't care about the so-called "above and aboveboard".
Instead, they seized the opportunity to take advantage of the danger and pulled the trigger. A dozen bullets came through the air and were shot at King Dwarf's head, heart and other fatal parts.
Immediately afterwards, several more cannonballs fell from the sky, as if they had eyes, and they hit the city where Ed was.
"Be careful!" Dwarf warned in a shocked voice.
However, Ed didn't even look at it. He just raised the war hammer in his hand high, and the huge mountains appeared behind him, blocking all the bullets and cannonballs.
The bombs behind him exploded one after another, but Ed ignored it and just shouted to himself, "Very good! We will never give up this land that has been passed down from generation to generation to these greedy people until our death!"
Our hammer will smash their claws; our fury will melt their armor! Long live High Mountain Kingdom! Avendell Dan will never fall! "
The Dwarf Fighter people around them clenched their weapons, with tears in their eyes. Their emotions were instantly ignited by the king's words, and they let out deafening shouts.
"Avendell Dan will never fall!"
"Long live High Mountain Kingdom!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Ed's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting every Dwarf's heart hard.
Dwarfs know that the Avendell Dan behind them is their lifeline, their only home, and the place that Shield Dwarves has relied on for thousands of years.
They are willing to sacrifice everything for this fortress and the king.
Dwarf Their voices echoed on the Gunsmoke filled battlefield, intertwined with the distant artillery fire to form a tragic symphony.
However, their shouts could not stop Embers of the Burned Legion's offensive. Ed's time was stuck very accurately. After he finished his speech, Embers of the Burned Legion was about to enter the shooting range of Dwarf.
At the king's call, the Dwarf Fighter people quickly regained their morale, prepared intensively for city defense, and once again devoted themselves to this intense war.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
During the march, the Steam Tank in the front row roared and opened fire, and the main gun continued to bombard the outside of the city wall.
The shells created fierce explosions again and again, and the magic shield outside the city wall set off ripples. Under the continuous bombardment, the bright yellow light gradually dimmed, Blink uncertain.
But the Dwarfs didn't have the slightest fear. They launched the Dwarf Steel Crossbow, trebuchets, stone cannons and other city defense weapons on the city wall, and launched a brazen counterattack.
"Smash them!"
"Let these Evil Dragon Kin taste our power!"
"All troops obey orders - shoot!"
Thousands of Dwarf archers drew their long bows and fired rockets one after another. The dense arrows poured down like a heavy rain.
However, these flaming arrows, which were particularly effective against orcs, pierced the cold armor of the steel behemoth, but could not break through the defense at all, leaving only a little white mark, which was bounced off with a crisp "dang" sound.
'What a ridiculous comeback'
"Is this all the so-called High Mountain Kingdom has? It seems like we can go back to Coronation Festival soon."
"Hahaha, such an attack is worse than the spittle sprayed by my grandma!"
"Charge! Kill them!"
The tank drivers of the Empire were sarcastic, not even willing to expend any energy to activate the shield, and just charged with the arrows indifferently.
How could arrows made for killing flesh and blood enemies break their War Machine?
"Boom——"
Steam Tank's crawler tracks rotated at high speed, creating clear ruts on the plain, constantly approaching Avendell Dan.
"Damn, these iron bumps are as hard as obsidian!"
Dwarf The general was furious, but he was not discouraged and hurriedly called to other city defenders Fighter.
On the towering city wall of Avendell Dan, the Steel Crossbows carefully crafted by Dwarf master craftsmen have been aimed at the advancing tanks.
Dwarfs installed arrows, worked hard to turn the winch, gathered strength, and yelled at the top of their lungs, "Fire! Pierce their iron knots!"
"Whoosh——"
A harsh whistling sound sounded, and the two-meter-long giant arrow tore through the air and turned into a silver light that cut through the sky, heading towards Steam Tank.
"Uh-huh!"
The cross-shaped sharp arrows carried terrifying kinetic energy and penetrated directly through the thick composite armor. They also pinned the driver in the cabin to his seat, causing the tank to stall on the spot and emit bursts of gray smoke.
"Bang!"
"Damn, what a bad luck!"
Another giant arrow happened to hit the track, paralyzing the tank on the spot and making it unable to move.
The engineers who followed quickly stepped forward to repair it and replace it with spare tracks, and the Dwarfs also took this opportunity to release hidden arrows.
"Whoosh——"
An Imperial Engineer who was replacing tracks was shot through the heart, while the Engineers behind him continued to fill the gap.
As the common home of Dwarf craftsmen, Avendell Dan is full of exquisite city defense weapons, which always makes intruders miserable.
In the towering towers of the fortress, the Dwarfs launched the trebuchets carefully crafted by Master Cui Lan Te, throwing out flaming iron balls - which were discarded weapons smelted together.
The iron ball drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and with a burst of air, it crashed into the empire's armored cluster.
"Boom!"
Fire overflowed, metal fragments flew everywhere, and the unlucky Steam Tank was directly flattened. Even the engine burned, followed by an explosion of Earth-Shattering.
Thick steam filled the wilderness, and the Steam Tank had turned into a charred wreckage with billowing smoke.
Finally, the results were achieved. The Dwarfs were elated, cheered, and continued to throw flaming iron balls at those damn "iron lumps."
With a loud noise, another Steam Tank was hit and exploded on the spot, sending out streams of green smoke.
Seeing such a scene, Dror frowned and shouted angrily into the intercom, "Don't underestimate the enemy! These tanks are the property of the empire!"
"Yes, General!"
The pilots responded quickly. Under the fierce resistance of Dwarf, they finally put away their arrogance as Imperial People and began to attack the city with all their strength.
"Not only did they not surrender, they actually dared to fight back?!"
Looking at the tank wreckage in the distance, Bill in the cockpit of "Emperor's Wrath" became furious and slammed the button.
As an avid Steam Tank fan, Dragon Vein Goblin sees a tank being destroyed, which is far more uncomfortable than seeing his people being slaughtered! These Dwarfs dare to use those crude and primitive weapons to destroy a well-designed War Machine. This is a naked humiliation! This is simply unforgivable!
"Buzz——"
The runes inside Steam Tank suddenly lit up, Blink continued, and an indestructible force field shield was gradually built in front of the thick armor.
Along with the howling wind, another giant arrow came through the air, but this time it was blocked by the force field shield and was broken in mid-air.
Bill said with an angry expression, "You still want to hurt my baby! Damn it Dwarf, give me a fucking blow!"
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Steam Tank Like a wild horse running wild, the main gun fired wildly, the firing interval became shorter, and even the barrel began to become hot and red.
Under the intensive firepower, artillery shells fell on the city wall like raindrops, and the shield outside the city wall continued to Blink, and even tiny cracks appeared.
"Wow!"
The last cannonball fell, and Dwarf's magic shield was finally overwhelmed, shattered, and turned into countless Blink light particles, which eventually dissipated.
The Empire's Ogre Artillerys have been waiting for a long time for the shield to break.
They had already calculated the shooting angle, aimed at the large city defense equipment, loaded the shells, and were ready to go, just waiting for the opportunity to focus the fire.
"Boom——"
The next moment, artillery fire exploded, the earth trembled, and fire and smoke filled the sky over the imperial position.
Hundreds of heavy artillery were seen firing at once, and countless shells streaked through the sky with their saliva trails, falling from the sky and landing on the Dwarf people's city defense equipment.
"Boom! Boom!"
"No! They want to destroy our trebuchet!" Dwarfs shouted in panic, but there was nothing they could do about it.
The explosion sounded, gravel and dust flew everywhere, the city walls shook violently, and even the mountain peaks roared.
In an instant, the trebuchet carefully built by Master Cui Lan Te was blown to pieces. Even the tower collapsed on the spot. More than a dozen Dwarf Fighter were buried in the ruins, their lives and deaths unknown.
Immediately afterwards, explosions occurred one after another, and the city wall of Avendell Dan continued to shake, as if it was on the verge of collapse.
None of the Dwarf Steel Crossbow, Arrow Tower, trebuchets and other city defense equipment on the city wall were spared, and they were all hit by precise and intensive concentrated fire from the imperial artillery.
"Boom!"
And Steam Tank was only a hundred meters away from the city wall. They roared and roared, firing shells one after another, blasting huge holes in the city gate.
The machine guns were also firing continuously, firing out bullets like a storm, causing the Dwarf defenders on the top of the city to fall one after another, and even fell off the city wall.
After the armored forces, the empire's engineering and infantry regiments advanced rapidly, and armored fighting vehicles equipped with ladders came from behind.
Embers of the Burned Empire's offensive is methodical, even layered, like art.
The imperial staff do not like to use human lives to fill the gap - that is not cost-effective. They like to use steel and artillery fire to destroy the enemy's will and confidence first, and then occupy the city logically.
Looking at the destroyed city defense equipment, General Dwarf knelt on the ground with a sad face and murmured to himself, "No, that is our city, that is our Dwarf's hard work."
"Boom!"
A bomb fell directly next to him, blowing up the Dwarf general on the spot, leaving his life or death unknown.
I saw a series of ferocious strange shadows passing over the city wall, that was Wyvern! They have made a comeback!
"Boom!"
Along with the flying dust, a huge and ferocious black shadow hit the city wall heavily. After the smoke and dust dispersed, he slowly stood up.
That human creature was more than three meters tall, covered with biological armor composed of scales and exoskeletons. Under the armor were bulging muscles like iron.
His left arm is equipped with a blood-stained Chainsaw Sword, and his right hand holds an extremely exaggerated Blast Rifle with a caliber of 27 mm.
The guy grinned, with a ferocious smile on his face covered by scales, "Hahahaha, for Embers of the Burned Emperor and the Empire! Dwarfs, repent in front of us, you are weak in flesh and blood!" Chainsaw Sword rotated at high speed, making a harsh noise.
What landed on the wall of Avendell Dan this time was not only bombs, but also extremely terrifying humanoid weapons, the ultimate creation of Imperial Biotechnology—Vitagis Dragon Scale Monk!
