"Now! Guys, get out of the car! Act according to the drill! Hurry up! "
The shouts from the back of the carriage brought Farina back to reality.
"Let's go and help!" She said to Joe, then pushed open the door and jumped out of the cockpit.
In just a few short breaths, the passengers of the convoy were already busy. They wrote and drew in their notebooks while erecting a few strange instruments on the ground. Judging from their conversation, those instruments seemed to be used to locate the target for the soldiers.
At this point, no matter how slow Farina was, she already knew what the First Army was going to do.
They were going to bombard the enemy several kilometers away from here!
Although she had long known that the people of Graycastle were best at long-range attacks with firearms, she still felt a trace of shock when she saw this scene with her own eyes. Any thrown weapon would be affected by the wind and its own weight, and the further the distance, the greater the impact. Even the slightest disturbance would cause a great change in the outcome. How on earth did they ensure that the bullets fired from the firearms would still fly according to their expectations at such a long distance?
Could it be that those seemingly simple instruments could predict the future?
If so, it was not surprising that the church suffered a crushing defeat in the battle of Coldwind Ridge.
However, this kind of technical work was completely useless to Farina. She consciously walked to the rear of the convoy, hoping to contribute to the unloading of the goods.
Due to the requirement of confidentiality, the driver did not know in advance who was on the vehicle, nor did he know what was on the vehicle. However, the convoy must have been dragging a lot of things. At this time, at least one more person could at least speed up the preparation process. She might not be good at other things, but she was by no means weak.
However, the scene in the rear left her dumbfounded.
A group of tall and sturdy men were moving the long wooden boxes with great efficiency, and those heavy trailing firearms didn't seem too cumbersome in their hands. After removing the restrictions of the connectors, a few people surrounded the long steel pipe and dragged it down the hardened road.
What surprised Farina even more was that she actually saw several familiar faces in the crowd.
"Wait... aren't they the God's Punishment Army?"
Although they were not wearing armor, judging from their strength, skills, and appearance, it was clear that they were the outstanding warriors of Hermes.
"Yo, we meet again."
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder.
Hearing this familiar voice, Farina suddenly turned around, "Zoey?"
"I didn't expect you to remember my name." Zoey grinned. "I thought you would call me Army Commander Ainova first."
She took a deep breath. "Then these people are …"
"Yes, they are all Taquila witches." Zoey spread out her hands. "See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
[There are hundreds of people like me in Neverwinter. All of them are using the bodies you contributed. Remember not to make a fuss when you meet familiar people in the future. "
The other party's words replayed in his ears.
For a moment, Farrina did not know what to say.
Charle bowed deeply to the latter. "Miss Zoey, I've always felt sorry that I didn't have the chance to thank you last time. It's great to see you again. Thank you for saving Miss Farina. "
"Miss Zoey? Mortal, you know a lot. I'll accept your gratitude. "Zoey shrugged." Let's talk about other things later. Now, let's focus on dealing with the demons. "
"Well..." Farina could not help saying as she watched Charle leave.
"Hmm?" Zoey stopped.
"Thank you. And... I'm very sorry for the mistakes the church has made... "
"It's not your fault. You're just a person who was deceived."
She waved her hand, and without looking back, she walked towards the camp that was being set up.
Farina opened her mouth, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
But what she did not see was that Zoey slightly curled up the corner of her mouth.
Just as Iron Axe had predicted, she, as the pilot, was unable to help at all. In less than 15 minutes, the First Army was ready to shoot.
"Report, No.1, No.2, and No.3 cannons have been loaded!"
"Open fire!" The commander ordered decisively.
Following a loud bang, a veil-like snow mist rose up from the bottom of the cannon, and the roar reverberated endlessly in the mountains like a thunderclap rolling across the horizon.
The boiling hot shell casings sizzled as they were emptied into the snow, and new shells were quickly loaded, waiting for the next shot. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, and the teamwork between the cannoneers was as if they were one person. From this detail, it could be seen how much they had trained.
Farina realized that the difference between the First Army and the other armies was not just in firearms.
After a dozen breaths, she finally saw a snow pillar rise from the top of the mountain!
…
"The ground troops have started shooting!"
Sylvie, who was on the Seagull, could see it more clearly.
After the three shells drew a long parabola, they all landed near the Fortress-like Monstrous Beast, with the closest one less than 300 meters away. The sudden explosion caused the demons stationed in the surroundings to fall into chaos, and a few Devilbeasts flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
After informing the commander of the cannoneers below her of the correction information, she focused all her attention on the enemy's movements.
"How are the demons reacting?" Tilly asked.
"There are no signs of the main target moving, and only a few Devilbeasts have flown into the sky. It shouldn't be long before they discover the truck team."
"You're lucky." Andrea whistled.
Indeed, good luck. Sylvie nodded imperceptibly. According to the plan formulated by the General Staff, the counterattack team was prepared to be discovered before they could approach the Fortress-like Monstrous Beast, and continue firing at the target despite the obstruction of the patrolling Devilbeasts. This plan was based on the experience accumulated from fighting the demons' vanguard on the Fertile Plains. If the opponent was Ösrook, twenty to fifteen kilometers was already a high-risk zone.
Although a large number of troops had been sent to the Sedimentation Bay after a huge battle, there were still many Devilbeasts and guards stationed near the fortress as it was an extremely important "moving obelisk." However, their perimeter was not watertight, and for a long time, no Devilbeasts flew past this area.
It was precisely because the enemy had not discovered the counterattack team that Tilly had gotten Sylvie to continue guiding the truck forward, and only when they were eight kilometers away from the target did they switch to the artillery position.
This could only mean that the enemy had relaxed after taking over the Four Cities!
A moment later, the second round of artillery shells whistled through the air.
The calibrated second round of attacks was clearly much more accurate. Two of them pierced through the Monstrous Beast's towering skeleton and landed at its feet one after the other, killing several Mad Demons. The third shot directly penetrated the Monstrous Beast's wide back, causing a cloud of snow and flesh to rise.
The Monstrous Beast let out an ear-piercing shriek, and at the same time, took two steps forward.
More Devilbeasts flew out from all directions and formed a formation in the air.
However, by the time they confirmed where the attack came from, it was already five minutes later. This was definitely not considered slow in previous battles, but against the Longsong Cannons eight kilometers away, five minutes was enough for the artillerymen to fire ten rounds of artillery fire, and this included the time needed to adjust the firing parameters!
The operation this time was not like the battle of Taquila, where the battle ended with a precise "leg-breaking strike," but to the enemy, the result was much more tragic. The skeletal body that had been repeatedly bombarded was already riddled with wounds, and there were several bullet holes all over it. Through the layers of broken bones, one could see the trembling organs and blue blood flowing everywhere below. Although it tried its best to escape, compared to the firing speed of the cannons, this attempt did not have much of an effect.
When another artillery shell drilled into the Monstrous Beast's body, it let out a mournful wail, and after a flash of blue light, its huge body actually exploded! Organs and blood splattered down like a waterfall, dyeing the snow on the hillside with a layer of strange color. The empty limbs seemed to have lost their support as they powerlessly snapped, peeled off, and collapsed, crashing into the bodies of the Devilbeasts that could not dodge in time, crushing them into a pile of twisted rags.
"Be careful, they're coming!"
At the same time, Sylvie also warned the convoy of the approaching Devilbeasts.
