Tauren Overlord

240. The Beginning of World War

Even if he really had to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the empire, Lu Heng wanted to wait until the new city of Taimenia was fully developed... for example, until the trenches were repaired before fighting.

This approach of sending troops directly to invade when we have just started construction and everything is not yet stable... is too unconventional!

It felt as if someone here was watching him build the city of New Taimenia, and then when they saw that things were not going well, they tried to destroy it.

Did the Empire use some kind of long-sighted magic similar to point-of-fall vision, or did they secretly plant undercover agents in the city of New Tymenia?

Lu Heng is unknown.

He didn't have time to analyze such details because the Empire's Governor-level combat regiment had already arrived.

In order to formulate a more targeted combat plan, Lu Heng tried to make the landing point visually float closer to the enemy commander.

But when he was still a few hundred meters away from the opponent, the limit of his vision collided head-on with a magic defense barrier.

My goodness! Now the method of using the portal to directly hide and swallow people is no longer effective. This is going to be a tough battle.

While Lu Heng was watching the enemy from afar, the Governor of Aurora Province, Nagis, who was riding an adult green dragon and flying above the herd of beasts, also felt the situation was very difficult.

When Marshal Selron asked him to destroy the Weibei City of the New City Republic again, Nagis had to hide his displeasure.

He was particularly confused when the Marshal asked him not to slowly guide the tree people to destroy the city like last time, but to do it himself.

When Marshal Selron asked him to form this army, his goal was to destroy the entire New City Republic before attacking the Sea Alliance.

Are we sending out this army of beasts now just to destroy a mere city?

But the facts before him proved that Marshal Selron did not overestimate the enemy.

The player who was playing as a forward just now was a powerful general under Nargis, but now his voice and appearance are inexplicably gone.

Although there are always unexpected things, this time the accident was too severe. It was so severe that Nargis didn't even know whether the other party had used his full strength.

Since the opponent's strength is unfathomable, if this mission continues, there is no telling how much high-quality supplies will be lost.

These consumables who serve as generals are also long-armed demons from the imperial headquarters, just like Nagis himself.

Although the long-armed demons are also a relatively long-lived race, as the governor, he is well aware that good generals are hard to come by.

To train a capable and independent general, ten years is considered a quick success. There are many imperial whippers who have fought for twenty years but still failed to become a capable general.

At the same time, several warriors riding on wyverns were afraid that they would become ancestors as easily as the beasts in front of them.

Instead of charging forward blindly, they all moved towards Governor Nargis, trying to adjust the "strategy" of the battle.

"Governor, when did the New City Republic gain such power?"

"How could they have such power? Could this be the rune bomb of the Sea Alliance?"

"Governor, I knew that these cat cubs had been colluding with the Sea Alliance for a long time, but I didn't expect that they would be given such vicious weapons?"

"Yes, the power of the rune bomb is so strong that our numerical advantage has been completely eliminated by these beasts!"

Governor Nargis was also well aware that the Sea Alliance was determined to destroy the Empire and had developed weapons of mass destruction against the Empire.

Although his troops had not yet been bombed by this type of weapon in actual combat, judging from the hellish scene before them, it was most likely the rune bombs at work.

The governor was also well aware that the explosion range of this weapon was extremely large - often even the front-line commanders in the battle would be blown to pieces.

So the question is - is it worth sacrificing the high-level consumables that you have worked so hard to cultivate in exchange for the military merit of defeating the Rune Bomb Troopers?

The Governor gave his answer:

"Before the battle began, didn't you both want to be the vanguard?"

"Why are you afraid of war now that you've discovered that the enemy is stronger than you thought?"

The brave warriors looked at each other, as if to say:

"We are not afraid of the enemy, but the enemy can bomb a large area at a time. In the face of absolute firepower, nothing can work!"

But he didn't dare say this directly in front of the governor, otherwise he would be whipped by him.

Seeing his men's hesitation, the Governor had no choice but to explain earnestly:

"Why are you still talking so much? Does the truth become clearer the more you argue about it?"

"That's not true! The truth is that the more you debate it, the less clear it becomes."

"We should establish a most basic bottom line - that is, always obey orders!"

"The beasts should listen to you, you should listen to me, and I should listen to the marshal."

"The marshal above me is also constantly listening to the words of the Divine Emperor, so that he can always be consistent with the truth."

"If someone doesn't know how to follow orders, it must be that the whip is not being whipped hard enough and needs to be swung faster!"

"Only in this way can we, the people of the Empire, conquer this world full of beasts as soon as possible and bring true peace to the world!"

While the governor of the Empire's Aurora Province, Nagis, was busy speaking earnestly, Sandro from the Sea Alliance also realized the seriousness of the matter.

He sighed softly to Tamika who was riding on him:

"Have these guys from the Empire never thought about the cost of doing this?"

"According to our protective treaty with the New City Republic, we have no choice but to go to war with them if they commit such an aggression."

"If I have a choice, I really don't want to throw this broken body into the final battle again."

Tamika also heard the helpless feeling, and she responded as expected:

“It could happen tomorrow or it could happen today.”

"You should think more about the worst. Maybe this is a conspiracy they planned a long time ago, but they just put it off until today?"

At this time, her communicator also received Lu Heng's voice:

"Please help us meet up with the rocket artillery company. The enemy has a large number of air force units. We plan to go up the mountain together to assist in air defense."

Because the Beast Legion was too powerful, Lu Heng once thought of letting the rocket artillery withdraw first and everyone fight a decisive battle together in the New Taimenia City.

But he soon discovered that this idea was not reliable.

First of all, the rocket artillery troops have not yet fought to the most dangerous moment. The earlier they withdraw, the less training they will get.

The bigger problem is that if the troops do not stand the test, after they retreat to the city of New Taimenia, it will be the turn of ordinary people to be tested.

Although Lu Heng's troops already had relatively strong firepower, their numbers were still small, and there would always be some that slip through the net no matter how they fought.

If a thousand of these beasts among the tens of thousands of enemies suddenly broke into the city and did whatever they wanted, it would be a dereliction of duty for the army.

Because the most important significance of the existence of the army is to prevent ordinary people from being tested by blood and fire.

So he asked Mofalen's people to get ready in the city of New Timenia, and when the time was right, they would be teleported to the front line together.

Not long after, he and his three female companions were sitting in the Need for Speed ​​car and were taken to the mountain where the rocket launcher company was located by the Bone Dragon Sandro.

At the same time, the enemy also had new responses.

The ground herd split in two, with the main force continuing to advance towards the bodies of the herd ahead;

More than two thousand other beasts bypassed the cliff in front and tried to encircle the rocket launcher battery from a flatter mountain road.

At the same time, the enemy's air force also rushed towards the high mountain where the rocket artillery company was located, and it was obvious that it wanted to occupy the top of the mountain and establish an advantage from a high position.

If they joined forces with the ground forces that were encircling them, the consequences would be disastrous.

In the middle of the enemy camp, Governor Nargis and his main force kept approaching the already chaotic "mass grave of the beast ancestors".

He was a thousand meters away, waving his magic electric whip at the corpse in the distance.

Countless Imperial Whiphands who had come back from the dead stood up again - because if they didn't stand up they would suffer extremely painful mental whippings.

But this kind of whipping would give the whipped Imperial whippers a kind of unbearable pleasure, making them actively work for the whippers.

So they also summoned their own magic electric whips and began to whip other deceased beast ancestors.

Let them become magnetic horned demons and continue to serve the empire.

The author says:

Author's words: I will try my best to make up for the extra chapters I owe at the end of the month, probably in the evening.

241. Missiles Make Their Debut

The enemy's magnetic horned demons seemed endless, but Lu Heng's rocket artillery company had only more than a hundred recruits.

Even without these magnetic horned demons taking action, the enemy's air force had already launched an air strike on the rocket artillery company.

Most of these flying creatures are wild griffins and Pegasus, as well as the more elite wyverns.

They are usually ridden by magnetic horns, and their commander is another Imperial whiphand under Nargis.

There are more than 300 such troops alone, three times the number of people in the rocket artillery company.

Nagis had already observed the bombing and found that the "Rune Bomb" had great power and attack range, but low accuracy.

The governor also reasonably deduced that such weapons had little ability to strike high-speed moving aerial targets.

Therefore, using flying troops to attack the "Rune Bomb Launching Position" is obviously the correct strategy.

Lu Heng also realized the shortcomings of this weapon when he first established the rocket force.

Therefore, rocket artillery is not suitable for single-arms combat, but rather for coordination with other arms.

This is unlike the organization of the Mountain Territory during the Imperial period, where a sword and shield infantry squad only consisted of sword and shield infantry.

If the air force comes, then expect the friendly forces to perform well... or wait to die.

Lu Heng’s ideas on building the army were certainly different from those of the empire.

For example, Nina’s rocket artillery company is not just a pure rocket artillery company, it also includes a guard defense squad armed with prism staffs.

The air-to-air combat troops directly accounted for half of the total number of the company, which was simply unimaginable in the traditional Imperial trebuchet troops.

But the base number of people in this company is still too small, with only more than a hundred people. Even if half of them can carry out air defense, there are still about fifty people.

According to the world's practice of air defense operations, if the number of ground air defense forces can catch up with five to ten times that of the sky forces, there will still be some chance of winning.

If the air force was five to ten times the size of the ground air defense force, it could have been deployed long ago.

Because the enemy can launch surprise attacks from various directions, the defender can only passively take the hit while defending from all directions.

So when they saw that Lu Heng's rocket artillery company had only a hundred people, the attacking Imperial Air Force felt that they had a sure win!

Even if dozens of warriors holding light prism staffs stood up and shot at them, they were not afraid at all.

They have already determined that victory is just around the corner, and even if a few unlucky empires are shot down by the enemy, the rest can still enjoy the military merit.

Before long, most of the Imperial Air Force advanced to within three to five hundred meters of the rocket launcher company.

At this critical moment, no one in the company showed any sign of fleeing, but vowed to live and die with the position.

They did not choose to die here, but another powerful weapon gave them hope of holding on - the missile vehicle.

Lu Heng specially deployed a missile squad in Nina's company and used it as the elite among the elite.

The ammunition fired by the other five ordinary rocket launcher teams is based on Di Yao's artistic ability and can provide huge one-way propulsion.

The missiles are otherwise similar to rocket launchers, but they get their thrust from Nina's Magic Arrows Art.

The special thing about the magic arrow is that the caster can adjust the direction of flight instantly. It can not only turn, but also go around in circles for love.

Strictly speaking, this weapon is actually closer to the suicide drone in Lu Heng's hometown than a missile.

But no matter what its name is, this weapon powered by magic arrows undoubtedly has a precise striking power far exceeding that of a rocket launcher.

Its only weakness is that the kinetic energy system based on the magic arrow consumes too much spiritual energy and is not suitable for long-range attacks thousands of meters away.

Moreover, once the distance is far, it is difficult for the navigator who commands the missile on the ground to make precise operations.

Using this kind of troops to accurately strike the enemy's approaching flying troops can be said to have hit the most suitable opponent!

Really everything is the best arrangement!

At this moment in the sky, the air force generals under Nargis already felt that their advantage was enormous.
