Chapter 276 The Might of the Dwarven Heavy Armor Canned Goods! Sacrifice is the Cornerstone of Pioneering! (Please Subscribe)

Wars are never fought over a single point.

While Lin Li was wreaking havoc inside Panguler Fortress, turning the dwarves' command system upside down, outside the fortress, the pioneering team's knocking-on-doors plan was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Rumble—!!!

The special hypersonic weapon, trailing a long plume of flame, plunged precisely into the mountainside where dwarven fortifications were located.

The earth was deathly silent for a moment, then suddenly trembled!

The solid rock layer, more than twenty meters thick, is as fragile as a biscuit in its presence.

A few seconds later, a muffled, thunderous roar came from the depths of the earth. Deadly shockwaves, mixed with countless fragments of rock and dust, violently erupted from the dwarven firing ports, as if the mountain itself were coughing violently.

Then, the magical cannonballs and gunpowder hidden inside the tunnel were instantly detonated under the extreme temperature and pressure. A series of even more intense explosions followed, like a string of ten thousand firecrackers being set off inside the mountain, continuous and unending.

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Twelfth Team only peeked out from behind the mountain where they were hiding after the shockwave that could have blown people away had dissipated.

The platoon leader of the twelfth team raised his binoculars, his brow furrowing slightly.

The fortress firepower group that had been highlighted by the command center had now completely disappeared, leaving only a huge depression with a diameter of more than 60 meters and a depth of seven or eight meters.

That was the collapse that occurred after the internal fortifications of the mountain were hollowed out by explosives and the munitions depot that exploded along with them.

Even so, through the lens, one could still see some remaining, deeply concealed firing ports, wisps of black smoke rising from them. "Wow, those dwarves have hollowed out the whole mountain to use as a tortoise shell!" Beside the platoon leader, an old soldier clicked his tongue. "If we had to fill this gap with our own lives, how many brothers would have died?"

The platoon leader put down his binoculars and then swallowed.

If it weren't for this unreasonable can opener, even the most elite elite squad would have had to risk their lives to face such a ruthless mountain defense fortification.

"Record it with the battlefield recorder and upload it back," the platoon leader ordered in a deep voice. "Send a message to command: the outer nodes of area E2 have been destroyed. Our unit is preparing to deploy drones to begin clearing operations inside and outside the area, ensuring that all dwarf cave fortifications are completely destroyed!"

"Command received, maintain vigilance!" came a brief reply from the communicator.

"clear!"

With a wave of his hand, the platoon leader ordered the drone team, which had been waiting in the rear, to take immediate action.

Several palm-sized micro-drones hummed as they took off and deftly flew into the still-smoking holes.

These tiny creatures, codenamed Dragonflies, cost a staggering 30,000 each, and each is a culmination of cutting-edge military technology. Solid-state batteries allow them to remain airborne for an hour, and their built-in life detectors and high-definition cameras can capture even the slightest movement within a few dozen square meters. In this alien world, their communication range reaches up to 5 kilometers.

Even inside the mountain, it maintains a high level of communication stability!

What's even more amazing is that it comes with 20 grams of high-energy explosives, which can self-destruct when it encounters a tough opponent, or even take someone down with it.

"Captain, Dragonfly number three has been spotted." The drone operator stared intently at the screen, his tone calm. "The footage has been marked, confirmed to be a dwarf. Vital signs are weak; he's likely been knocked unconscious. There are weapons nearby, posing a threat."

On the screen, infrared thermal imaging clearly showed several dwarf figures huddled in a corner, with muskets and some devices resembling old-fashioned Gatling guns scattered around them.

That must be a special firearm used by the dwarves. If the dwarves are still conscious at this moment, and humans show themselves, they will probably be mowed down by the dwarven machine guns!

"Use RPGs," the platoon leader said succinctly.

"clear!"

A slightly larger octagonal drone, equipped with weapons, was voice-controlled and quickly flew to the cave entrance and hovered.

After the Dragonfly drone that was conducting reconnaissance withdrew to a safe distance, an old but classic RPG rocket was accurately fired through the firing port, which was less than 30 centimeters wide.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a muffled "boom".

On the screen, the red heat source signals instantly turned into red mosaics, and then gradually blended into the surrounding environment.

"Done, clean and efficient." Fei Shou whistled, his face expressionless.

"Continue reconnaissance!"

"yes!"

They've done this more than once.

The micro-drones continued to penetrate deeper, conducting a thorough reconnaissance of the tunnel's interior to ensure that every dwarf in every corner could enjoy a permanent and peaceful sleep like that of an infant.

Normally, when faced with an enemy who has lost the ability to resist, one might consider capturing a few alive for a post-war trial, to kill them and destroy their spirit.

But now, the command center has already issued a death order.

These dwarves, corrupted by the evil god, can no longer be considered pure life forms; rather, their minds are twisted, and they have become inhuman monsters.

To them, freedom is a merciless slaughter, like the dead of winter!

surrender?

What is that? Can you eat it?

"Report! All known targets have been cleared! Requesting the establishment of a communication node to explore deeper. Estimated target: ————"

Before the pilot could finish speaking, several more explosions occurred.

Upon hearing the sound, the other soldiers immediately looked towards the explosion site.

"Captain—what's that? How come there are still survivors?"

"Drone launch!"

The platoon leader's face darkened, and he reacted extremely quickly.

"yes!"

The drone pilot's fingers flew across the controller, and a Dragonfly drone instantly soared into the air as the camera zoomed out.

The next second, the pilot's voice suddenly rose: "Enemy sights! Enemy sights! Ridge bend! Holy crap, what a huge guy! And it's a dwarf—it's a heavy-duty canned food! Damn it, it's a heavy-duty canned food!"

The image on the screen was rapidly magnified and marked.

The platoon leader squeezed in front of the screen, his eyelids twitching violently.

Just behind the breach in the mountain ridge that had just been blasted open, three steel silhouettes, far larger than the size of an ordinary dwarf, were crawling out of a newly blasted, dark hole.

As the drone drew near, the dwarves' armor became visible.

It was less like armor and more like a miniature runic mechanical armor set worn by a dwarf—thick, menacing, and full of industrial aesthetics of carnage.

On the screen, the three heavily armored creatures had just climbed out. One of them, whose head was clearly not wearing a helmet, shook its head, seemingly adjusting to the outside light. Then, it suddenly raised its arm, its thick, steel fingers pointing precisely at the hilltop where Team Twelve was hiding.

The next moment, they moved!

There were no tactical maneuvers, no covert advance; it was the purest and most savage charge!

Those heavy-duty canneries strode across the steep hillside, a climb that would require the use of both hands and feet for most people, as if it were flat ground. Each step sent pebbles flying and produced a heavy, muffled thud.

"It really is the dwarves' heavily packaged canned food!"

"Extremely dangerous!"

The platoon leader's mind flashed instantly to those pages of information highlighted in red in the enemy situation manual issued by the command post.

"Don't let those metal lumps get close!" the platoon leader roared, veins bulging on his forehead. "The information says these things are dangerous!"

His shout snapped the surrounding soldiers back to their senses, sending a chill from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

"Suicide drones! Bomb them! Everyone else, unleash full firepower and wipe them out!"

"receive!"

A soldier immediately piloted three large flying machines, each carrying a full 500 grams of high explosives, and with a shriek, they charged straight at the bald dwarf like angry wasps.

"boom--!"

A violent explosion erupted on the hillside, creating a fireball.

In the firelight, the heavily armored dwarf without a helmet failed to notice the supplies falling from the sky, and his head collapsed as if struck by a sledgehammer.

Then, his massive steel body tumbled down the steep slope and vanished instantly, his fate unknown.

"Well done!"

"It's not over yet! Keep fighting! Keep fighting!" The platoon leader stared intently at the screen.

The two remaining heavy-duty cans, because they were wearing helmets, only swayed slightly in the blast wave.

Then, an ominous dark red light suddenly shone from their armor.

Immediately afterwards, the backpack-like devices on their backs hissed out two thick, acrid plumes of black smoke—

"Da da da da da—!"

The heavy machine gun positions opened fire at full capacity, with 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets and 5.8mm rifle bullets that had already reacted forming a dense net of fire, raining down on the enemy.

The bullets struck the armor, sending up a dense burst of sparks and creating a cacophony of clanging sounds.

Although the two heavily armored tanks were glowing red, and the strange backpacks behind them were emitting smoke, it was clear that their armor was operating at full power.

But their momentum clearly faltered, and their steps became scattered as they were beaten.

"Success!" the machine gunner shouted excitedly.

"Wait, how come he's still not dead!"

The smiles on everyone's faces froze when they saw their new move.

The red glow emanating from the two heavy cans did not diminish; instead, it grew even more intense and alluring under the barrage of bullets.

They stopped and looked up at the sky, letting out a roar that sounded inhuman, as if it were being forced out of their metal chests.

"A blood sacrifice to our ancestors, a skull offering on a pedestal!"

Amidst their roars, the red light on their bodies shone brightest, and the black smoke billowing from their backs grew even thicker.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the two tin can holders suddenly bent their knees, and the rock beneath their feet instantly cracked!

Whoosh-!

"kill!"

Like two cannonballs launched from a gun, they leaped into the air, drawing an exaggerated parabola in the air, covering a distance of more than ten meters in a single jump, and fiercely charged towards the mountaintop position on the opposite side!

"Hold!"

One soldier, who was originally firing in bursts, immediately pulled the trigger after seeing this!

Da da da————

A hotter, denser barrage of bullets swept towards the enemy!

They were fast, but other attacks supported by humans had already arrived.

Forty-millimeter sniper grenades and four Q-202 man-portable missiles flew from the other side of the mountain, raining down on the dwarves.

There's no need to elaborate on the 40mm rifle grenades; the man-portable missiles were an improved version developed by the pioneering team.

They are mainly designed to deal with difficult fortifications and enemies. The missile has a diameter of 40 mm, a length of 60 cm, and weighs 1.2 kg. This big guy is a precise supplementary firepower for infantry. The whole system, including the launcher and 8 missiles, weighs 12 kg, which is easy for a single soldier to carry.

The missile has a maximum range of 2 kilometers, uses an uncooled infrared imaging seeker, has fire-and-forget capability, a hit rate of over 90%, can silently lock onto heat source targets, and has strong anti-jamming capabilities.

After the four missiles were launched, the other soldiers quickly stuffed more missiles from their backpacks into the launcher, waiting for the next firing.

The Q-202 missile, trailing a long plume of smoke, traced an eerie "L" shaped trajectory in the air before precisely striking the two dwarf heavy-duty tankers.

Boom!

Rumble!

The deafening series of explosions instantly engulfed them, flames and smoke shooting into the sky, turning the mountain ridge black. At the center of the explosion, the boiling red light on the two dwarves dimmed rapidly, almost going out.

One of the heavy cans was thrown out by the enormous impact, tumbling through the air before crashing down the hillside. When it landed, an arm encased in steel armor was missing.

However, a chilling scene unfolded.

"A blood sacrifice to our ancestors! A skull offering on a pedestal!"

The two surviving dwarves, including the one with the missing arm, let out another frenzied roar.

With a frenzied roar, the faint red light on their bodies surged again, almost as if they were burning.

At the same time, their speed increased rather than decreased, and they continued their desperate charge towards the human positions on the mountaintop in a manner that completely defied the common sense of physics.

From the moment they were discovered until now, only a few dozen seconds had passed. These dwarven monsters had already advanced more than three hundred meters under intense fire!

"Damn!" The captain's eye twitched wildly.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the continuous suppressive fire from the heavy machine guns and rifles that slowed down the enemy's advance, and if it weren't for the open view along this ridge and the lack of any cover to use, those two huge warhammers would probably have already smashed into their heads.

"Fire! Fire hard!" the captain yelled. "Fire! Don't let them get close!"

We must not let them get close!

No one dared to imagine that scene.

Human warriors without superhuman strength would be no different from paper in front of these steel monsters.

"Fire support! Requesting fire support!" the communications soldier shouted hoarsely.

"Here it comes!"

"Damn it, try this!"

A rough voice came from the other side of the ridge.

Three dark figures suddenly darted out from behind the ridge on the side and swooped down the steep mountain wall at an astonishing speed.

Those were three wheeled mechanical dogs carrying several anti-tank mines!

Upon seeing reinforcements, a machine gunner tightened his grip on the trigger, desperately trying to slow the dwarves' reloading of the canned goods.

This equipment was originally intended for the demolition team to clear out the dwarf caves, but it has now been temporarily modified into a suicide bomb to prevent the dwarves from getting close.

Four mechanical legs moved with ease on a steep slope of over fifty degrees, heading straight for the two dwarf cans that were leaping and charging upwards.

The dwarves had obviously also noticed these uninvited guests.

Facing a metal storm of 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets and 5.8mm armor-piercing bullets, the still-intact dwarf's red aura deflected most of the bullets, producing a series of crisp clanging sounds.

It roared and leaped forward, its massive warhammer whistling through the air as it precisely struck the "head" of the mechanical dog at the front.

With a loud crack, the mechanical dog's sensor module was smashed to pieces.

The dwarf seemed to want to add another kick, but it was too late.

boom-!!!

A deafening roar, even more terrifying than the previous explosion, followed.

The three anti-tank mines strapped to the mechanical dog were detonated instantly.

The overwhelming and terrifying damage was simply beyond the dwarf's crumbling runic shield to withstand.

The violent shockwave instantly blasted the arrogant, heavily armored can into the air, more than ten meters high. Its armor also tore apart in mid-air due to the dissipation of energy.

Another dwarf with a missing arm and nearly exhausted of energy also met the same fate, being sent to meet its ancestors by two mechanical dogs that followed it, in a mutual destruction.

"RPG, RPG bombardment again 1"

"Finish off! Finish off!"

Da da da————

Rumble—

After another period of continuous firing, once it was confirmed that the dwarf had been destroyed, the captain hurriedly shouted to stop the attack.

"Without vital signs, he must be dead!"

Looking at the wreckage emitting black smoke on the hillside more than 200 meters away, the captain of the 12th Sharp Knife Team finally let out a long breath, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He wiped the cold sweat from his face and growled at the equally shaken soldiers around him, "Don't just stand there! Call in the drones to resupply ammunition! Set up a perimeter!"

He paused, lowering his voice even further, tinged with lingering fear.

"Tell command and comrades to be extremely careful of the dwarfs' heavy canned goods; absolutely do not let them get close!"

The 12th Sharp Knife Team was lucky; the dwarven heavy armored cannery they encountered was relatively far away, and they had comrades supporting them nearby.

The other soldiers weren't so lucky!

Almost at the same time they dealt with the two dwarven heavy canned goods, in another ravine, two squads responsible for clearing a mine tunnel also ran into the dwarven's terrifying war machines, specifically designed for charging and killing.

Unfortunately, their luck was extremely bad.

The two sides encountered each other at a distance of less than 200 meters, and both were located near many rocks, which meant that the dwarf's advance was almost not fatally hindered!

"Fire! Fire!"

The squad leader's desperate roar had barely begun when the 12.7mm heavy machine gun roared, its interwoven fire lines forming a massive net that relentlessly swarmed the huge figure that burst forth from the shadows.

However, in the complex and rugged mountainous terrain, that dwarf canner, which was over two meters tall, moved as fast as an arrow released from a bow!

Most of the machine gun bullets hit the rocks, and a small portion hit the body, only creating dark red ripples!

There was no continuous attack, not even a pause.

A soldier had just raised his 5.8mm rifle, trying to aim at the gap in the object, but before he could pull the trigger, the enemy had already rushed within thirty meters.

The dwarf can suddenly raised his left arm, aimed, and fired!

The human warriors saw that what was hanging on the arm of the heavily armored bald dwarf was a hideous three-eyed fire weapon!

The three dark, 25mm cannon muzzles gleamed with ominous runic light.

The soldier's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Watch out!"

boom--!

A muffled bang rang out; the sound was not like a gunshot at all, but more like a small cannonball being fired.

The bulletproof plate on the chest of the soldier who only shouted one sentence was as fragile as paper in the face of this caliber of ammunition.

The violent bullet pierced through his upper body in an instant, then easily blasted open a huge bloody hole.

Blood, flesh, and shattered internal organs sprayed backward. He didn't even have time to scream before he was thrown back by the immense kinetic energy, crashing heavily against the rock wall and falling silent.

Another heavily armored dwarf, Canned Food, used the terrain to break in and smashed a human pioneer warrior who was firing a rifle into the air with a single hammer blow.

This tall human, weighing over 200 pounds and standing 1.8 meters tall, was thrown seven or eight meters away by the impact.

When he landed, his chest had already caved in more than half, and it was clear that he was not going to survive.

"Fuck your mother!"

Watching helplessly as his comrades, with whom he had spent every day, were beaten into a bloody mess, Zhan Shi, who was in command in the distance, instantly turned bloodshot.

He pulled an anti-tank mine from the back of his power exoskeleton, unscrewed the pin, and hurled it with all his might at the oncoming dwarf can.

The landmine traced an arc through the air and landed precisely in the path of the dwarves' charge.

However, to ensure the safety of the thrower, the mine has a 2-second detonation delay.

Those two short seconds became the difference between life and death.

The heavily armored dwarf charged forward with incredible speed, leaving only a blur in his wake, and plunged directly into the human soldiers' ranks.

Boom!

The landmine exploded behind him with a deafening roar, kicking up a cloud of dust, but it only made his figure tremble slightly.

"Blood sacrifice to the ancestors!"

The dwarf in the can let out a muffled roar, and the giant axe in his hand, which was shimmering with runic light, drew a cold light in the air that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The soldier who had just thrown the landmine hadn't yet lost his anger when he suddenly felt dizzy.

The last thing he saw was his headless body, still in the position of screwing in another anti-tank mine.

"Damn you!"

The nearby soldiers were furious!

"Die, you son of a bitch!"

boom!

The two dwarven heavy armored canneries moved with impunity, focusing intently on the design of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun and 5.8mm rifle bullets, easily killing all the undeployed pioneer warriors in the skirmish line.

In less than a few dozen seconds, nine soldiers were killed on the spot!

"Captain—don't forget—take care of my mom!"

A young soldier watched as the dwarf monster slaughtered several of his comrades with ease. When he saw the creature turn around and charge towards him, his eyes changed from fear to determination.

He knew he couldn't escape.

Conventional weapons are ineffective against them. If this continues, their comrades in the rear and they themselves will die!

In a flash, he made a decision.

He unpacked the man-portable missiles that had been laid out but hadn't been launched yet.

That's the ultimate individual weapon of the pioneering team—a subnuclear bomb!

"Humanity will prevail!"

He roared as he aimed the all-nitrogen anionic salt missile, with the power equivalent to 750 kilograms of TNT, at the incarnation of death charging at high speed seventy meters away.

At such close range, he knew that if the cannon were fired, he would surely die as well.

But he still pulled the trigger.

The missile was propelled forward and then rushed forward at a speed of 360 meters per second.

The fuse struck the ground —

In an instant, the warrior saw the entire world before him as if it had turned pure white.

The dwarven heavy armor can at the epicenter of the explosion, along with its indestructible runic armor, was instantly torn apart!

The terrifying temperature of several thousand degrees instantly melted the rocky ground within a five-meter radius of the explosion's epicenter into pitch-black glass.

Within thirty meters, rubble flew everywhere, like the end of the world.

The young soldier, who was seventy meters away, was also violently thrown away by the terrifying power he had released himself. He tumbled several meters in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

He succeeded.

But they also sacrificed themselves.

When his comrades rushed to his rescue, they found that he was bleeding from all seven orifices and his face was a blur under his helmet.

Under that devastating shockwave, his brain and internal organs were shattered into a puddle of mush.

The commander, surveying the battlefield where almost no comrades' bodies remained, gritted his teeth: "12.7mm armor-piercing rounds have no effect on the dwarven heavy infantry. Repeat! We need stronger individual firepower!"

The pioneering team, the front-line command post for the battle against Pangule Fortress.

On the cold, large electronic screen, footage transmitted by drones in the air was still playing, and the smoke and dust from the explosion had not yet dissipated.

This fierce encounter lasted only a few minutes from start to finish.

But the price paid was ten precious lives.

"—Report: Ten of our men have been killed in action. Only three members of the Sixteenth Elite Squad remain alive!"

"Report! Our anti-tank mines and other weapons can inflict effective damage. However, the dwarven heavy tanks are too fast; only high-explosive bombs can prevent the enemy from escaping!"

The communications soldier's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.

Inside the command post, there was an eerie silence.

Commander-in-Chief Bi Shengli frowned, staring at the charred ground on the screen that had melted into glass, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

He remained silent for several seconds before slowly raising his head, his voice hoarse yet unusually steady.

"Pass the notice down to all units: be on high alert for those large, heavily packaged cans of food from the dwarves."

He paused, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Once spotted, unleash heavy firepower and give them a good beating!"

"yes!"

The order was quickly relayed.

Bi Shengli took a deep breath and continued issuing orders, his speech becoming faster and more urgent.

"Quickly arrange for drones to deliver high-powered weapons and subnuclear missiles for individual soldiers to the front lines! At least one missile for every three soldiers! Blow up any suspicious heavy canned goods!"

"Our individual firepower is still not strong enough! Move the 30mm autocannon positions forward and push them up!"

"yes!"

"I think incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, and those extra-hot chili bombs are quite effective against dwarves?"

A staff officer immediately replied, "Yes, feedback from the front lines indicates that while the canned goods won't burn to death, they can effectively disrupt their vision, turning them into headless flies."

"Good!" Bi Shengli slammed his hand on the table. "Speed ​​up the delivery! Use these things like hand grenades, throw them at me like they're free!"

"yes!"

Traditional fragmentation grenades were practically a tickle to those tough-skinned dwarves.

Even if they're covered in blood from the explosions, as long as they're not hit in vital areas, those berserk guys can still charge in and slash people despite their injuries.

To deal with this monster, you would have to use at least several kilograms of explosives to pile it up.

Especially those rune-armored heavy armored cans that run faster than rabbits; once a human gets close to them, it's a complete massacre.

Even a fully armed exoskeleton-powered force would likely not gain any advantage against such an enemy.

This casualty incident marks the first time the pioneering team has suffered double-digit deaths since they began fighting the dwarves.

Everyone knows that as long as the offensive continues, this number will only keep climbing.

But no one backed down!

Just minutes earlier, they had established a stable communication connection with the probes that Lin Li had deployed deep within the Pangule Fortress.

A large amount of video information is being continuously transmitted back to the command center through this fragile channel.

The scene depicts mountains of bones and skulls from various races, an increasingly unstable spacetime rift that seems poised to collapse at any moment—and dwarves corrupted by madness and a destructive desire in their eyes—

The shocking scenes all confirmed the mysterious man's earlier warning.

If these madmen succeed, no one knows what even more terrifying things might emerge from behind that crack.

The green-skinned orcs were already troublesome enough. If some even more outrageous interstellar monsters were to jump out of this cesspool of space, humanity wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

Bi Shengli shifted his gaze from the horrific images to the blue arrows representing his own troops on the command screen.

The blue arrows are engaged in a fierce firefight with the red markers representing dwarves.

After the initial half-hour of panic, the dwarves have now begun to organize and mobilize, and have started to launch a counterattack against the humans. Fortunately, there are very few of those heavily armored cans; the humans have only encountered a dozen or so so far.

Unfortunately, human probes discovered a large quantity of dwarf heavy-duty canned goods inside the dwarf caves.

Throughout history, street fighting has been the most brutal form of warfare.

Fortunately, humanity has mastered even more powerful mechanical forces!

"Are the robot force and the suicide robot wolf force ready?"

"Report: Everything is ready. We'll begin the infiltration once the outer perimeter is cleared!"

"Hmm!" He pursed his chapped lips and asked in a deep voice, "How's the contact with the Time Gate headquarters going?"

A technical officer immediately stood up and reported: "Commander-in-Chief, the low-bandwidth communication network has been established! However—our signal relay drone, located 120 kilometers away, has been attacked by dwarven anti-aircraft fire and has lost contact!"

Dwarven anti-aircraft firepower?

"They actually have the means to precisely attack us from thousands of meters above the ground?"

"Have you confirmed what kind of attack it was?"

"Report: No enemy detected. The drone failed to detect the enemy and was shot down instantly!"

Bi Shengli frowned.

It should be noted that the drones they dispatched were medium-sized communication relay drones with a range of several thousand kilometers. Although they were restricted to the no-fly zone of this other world, they could still hover at an altitude of about 5000 meters.

The fact that the drones were destroyed so quietly suggests that the dwarves' air defenses and intelligence networks are somewhat different!

"Arrange for reconnaissance units to locate the enemy!" He pointed to the coordinates on the map without hesitation. "Once located, immediately impose fire and wipe the enemy's air defense network off the map! At all costs, ensure uninterrupted communication between us and headquarters!"

Only after ensuring uninterrupted communication with the portal can the human pioneering team contact the main force after the large portal closes in the rear.

Otherwise, the troops that came here would probably have wiped out all the enemies inside the dwarven fortress and would have had to slink away in disgrace.

Although humans are to evacuate, they must eliminate the threat posed by the dwarves as much as possible before evacuating to ensure that the goals of subsequent strategic development are achieved. Otherwise, what's the point of fighting?

Humans come here not only as a fire brigade, but also for other strategic purposes!

It's important to know that in the three hours since the troops were deployed, humanity has consumed 9 million units of electricity, and the consumption of other ammunition and supplies is even more enormous.

Humans will never give up until they achieve their goal!

"yes!"

Once the order was given, the entire command center sprang into action again.

Bi Shengli looked at the red and blue teams locked in fierce combat on the screen, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

The war has only just begun.

Sacrifice is the cornerstone of pioneering!

For humanity, for the innocent.

We will surely win!

He slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound as he exerted force.

Humanity will prevail in this battle!

While the pioneering team was proceeding according to plan, the various dwarven tribes had already used hand-cranked telephones deployed in the mountains, magical communication methods, and the release of falcons to send messages to each other about the attack on Pangula Fortress and their request for reinforcements.

Based on the speed of the dwarves' reinforcements, it is estimated that dwarves will arrive by air within one day.

Within 10 days, a large number of dwarven ground troops will definitely arrive.

Humanity's strategic plan is to completely destroy the Pangula Fortress within 24 hours!

At this moment, two and a half hours have passed since the human attack on Pangula Fortress.
