Artillery roared.
A barrage of shells hurtled toward the giants ahead. They concealed their bodies behind their shields and charged blindly forward. Shells struck their shields and armor, exploding into clouds of smoke, but soon they emerged from the smoke again and kept advancing.
So that was it.
After just one volley, Li Wei immediately saw through their intentions and understood the logic behind the Kingdom of Kront's use of giants against the Empire's Mecha.
Although the Empire's Mecha were indeed Mecha, they were completely different from the ones Li Wei had played with in modern games. For instance, the Empire's current Mecha had no jet engines. They could only walk along the ground on two legs, which naturally left their speed and maneuverability severely limited.
Really, it would not be wrong to call the Empire's current Mecha walking gun emplacements.
By comparison, the giants facing them were fast-at least as living creatures-and relatively agile. Once they closed in, they could easily move into a Mecha's blind spot and destroy it.
So that was the Kingdom of Kront's tactic: use the Enhanced Beasts' smoke to block the Mecha's ranged attacks and turn the battlefield into close combat, where the giants held the greatest advantage.
