“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
The tracks crushed the grass and trees, the metal trampled the earth, thousands of cannons roared, and countless impact points gathered together, scraping out a cloud of earth that surged like waves on the ground.
The Qindu 1st Logistics Armored Division is an armored unit composed of tens of thousands of old tanks.
The regular role of this unit is logistics, transportation and supply, but because Mu Hua wants to increase the intensity of the attack on Leticia, some of the weapons brought back from the Ukuru courtyard are indeed old styles that are not very presentable.
Not only old, but also renovated.
Throw it away, it's a waste, keep it, it's useless. It works, but it has problems from time to time, big and small, and it's very difficult to maintain.
Anyway, they got a huge amount of ammunition and energy units from the arms cemetery, and driving these tanks didn't require much skill, so Aoi reorganized such a logistics force first.
Although the technology of the skeleton warriors who operate those more sophisticated weapons is not yet sufficient for actual combat, this logistics and transport unit has earned the number one title.
Because of Mu Hua's participation, the Skeleton Mages and Dragon Tooth Soldiers, who would have been stationed on the shores of the abyss unless there had been a major battle, also followed the army.
The armored division's personnel are all composed of skeleton undead. Except for a few black-armored skeleton generals who serve as commanders at all levels, the ones driving chariots and operating artillery are basically skeleton warriors.
Resources, resources. When it comes to larger numbers of skeleton undead, derived resources are always a problem that gives Mu Hua a headache.
The group of skeleton mages that Mu Hua had back then are now not only responsible for combat, but each of them has mastered the skills of refining ashes and generating undead. Despite this, Mu Hua is unable to cope with the rapid increase in the number of skeleton warriors.
The skeleton warriors are just miscellaneous soldiers, and the old tanks and machine guns are indeed a bit useless.
But no matter how useless it is, as long as there is enough ammunition and the shells and bullets can be fired, it will still have the desired power.
At the same time, the evolution and skill granting of these skeleton warriors has been changed to a method of faith feedback. Their growth will certainly not be as smooth as the skeleton warriors created by Mu Hua in the past, but their value to Mu Hua is not single.
Tanks led the way and armored vehicles maneuvered, and in the rear there were a large number of vehicles that were not suitable for assaults, towing countless position artillery following.
Monsters were running on the ground and dragons were soaring in the sky. No matter whether they were terror riders, black-armored skeleton generals, hellhounds, magic dragons, evil dragons or giant dragons, they all followed this mechanized force, as if they were guarding or accumulating strength.
The troops left Wenquan Township, their target was the snow-capped mountains in the north. They were to destroy any resistance they encountered along the way. Mu Hua accompanied them personally. He was really prepared to blow up the snowy ridges in the north and connect the snowy ridge ranch with the Death Canyon.
Dandelion and Black Crow are already preparing to go to the Courtyard of the Undead to obtain resources. Mu Hua plans to put pressure on Leticia before raiding the Courtyard of the Undead.
That's right, it's pressure. He doesn't want to capture the Snow Ridge Ranch. Not to mention whether he can capture it, even if he can really plow the Snow Ridge Ranch, he won't be able to occupy much space for the time being.
The Bloody Hills themselves also needed to be consolidated and strengthened, so it was impossible for them to send too many reinforcements to Leticia.
Put pressure on Leticia, let her pay more attention to the Death Canyon, and let those undead liches and mages in the Death Canyon work harder, refine more ashes, and evolve more undead. Don't just lie down and hope that the burial ground will naturally give birth to the undead, which is really unprogressive.
As for occupying Death Canyon?
Again, it's not easy to defend. At the same time, if Death Canyon is really pushed, the supply of corpses in Bloody Hills will also be cut off.
There are many individuals over there who know how to refine ashes and extract soul fragments, but they don't listen to Mu Hua. Without them, Mu Hua won't be able to melt the ashes of the rotten corpses and broken bones sent by the Bloody Hills.
There is no way, the foundation of life, who told the Burning Furnace to only recognize skeletons and undead...
The battle group advanced and the war spread.
In addition to the 1st Armored Division, the entire regiment's ground forces also include a total of nearly five thousand high-level undead, as well as Mu Hua's various summoned beasts.
They will help the Armored Division resist various attacks from monsters and kill monsters that try to approach the Armored Division.
This allowed the armored division's skeleton warriors to vent their firepower without restraint, and the free ammunition could be dropped in unlimited quantities, which could be considered as a way to train their logistical supply efficiency.
However, there were no corpse demons accompanying the army this time. They were all stationed in the rear of the city. The only land cavalry under Mu Hua was the headless knight, and none of the earth dragon-like war horses followed.
To be honest, many people actually have some misunderstandings about the mobility of cavalry and infantry.
As far as conventional creatures are concerned, the mobility of cavalry is indeed far superior to that of infantry, but that refers to short-range mobility, just like the war horses ridden by human knights. In fact, trained humans have greater marching endurance than horses.
They have strong endurance and fast supply recovery, so during long-distance marches, cavalry will often fall behind the infantry. This is not an application of tactical formations. War horses cannot outrun humans in long-distance continuous movement.
The distance between the hot spring village and the Snow Ridge Mountains is thousands of miles. The Purgatory Warhorses in Mu Hua's army do not have any endurance problems. After all, they are also tireless undead species.
However, let alone war horses, Mu Hua's four-legged summoned beasts, even without the help of vehicles, cannot outrun human professional warriors in long-distance marches.
The summoned beasts mixed in with the armored divisions and the undead were taken back to the summoning space by Mu Hua after they followed the army for a while, but they were a little behind and couldn't run anymore. The march of the Iron Torrent was very impressive, but their battles were not exciting, and they bombarded all the way.
In fact, ever since Mu Hua’s forces entered the Ice and Snow Ranch, sporadic battles in the Ice and Snow Ranch area have never stopped.
The main ones are the hellhounds under Monday's command. They are scattered in all directions, elusive, and have calculations with the monsters under Leticia. From time to time, ambushes or encounters and other battles and hunts occur in various places.
The battles between those hellhounds are more like the adventure style of the magical world. North of the hot spring town is almost a wild nature where the strong prey on the weak, and sneak attacks and hunting between different species are the main theme here.
On the contrary, at this time, the armored divisions were marching out in large numbers, and whenever they encountered an enemy, it was a war. The scene was grand, but also relatively stereotyped.
“Boom~Boom~!”
The strong recoil caused the tank's body to swing backwards with great force. When the light tanks in the rear team stalled, they were often accompanied by the roar of a salvo of gunfire from the position artillery.
When encountering a group of enemies, the black-armored skeleton generals who were sitting or climbing on the chariots would jump off the chariots and erect heavy tower shields to form a mobile defensive wall.
The Infernal Steed carrying the Headless Knight ran in a circle under the trajectory of artillery fire, dispersing the groups of monsters.
The Dragon Tooth Soldiers, who are small in stature but have developed great strength, transform into assassins, shuttling between the cavalry, destroying the monsters' magical defenses, and killing stubborn enemies.
"Buzz~~~" The buzzing sound of extraordinary energy charging.
"Jiao~~!" A dozen or so energy cannons that were towed opened fire.
Even after being refurbished, these energy cannons still have some irreversible flaws, and there are problems with their stability and maximum energy output.
The application of energy cannons is quick and stable. Whether it is magic stones, magic cores or energy units, they can exert powerful destructive power when equipped. Compared with live ammunition artillery, the price of energy cannons is usually dozens or hundreds of times higher, and the ammunition of live ammunition artillery is the bulk of the cost.
However, Mu Hua treated these energy cannons dragged out by the First Armored Division as consumables to be thrown away after one use. He dragged them carelessly and fired them indiscriminately.
"Boom~~Boom~~" The bombardment of the energy cannon hit the energy field outside the barrier. The deafening roar caused a repulsive reaction in the energy field that was more intense than real bullets and magic.
The city was attacked, but the monsters inside looked at the sky with even greater fear.
In the sky, a giant dragon with a wingspan of over 100 meters displayed its agile posture full of oppression under the protection of a group of dragons.
Dozens of evil dragons let out low roars as if they were brewing a breath, and the two frost dragons stood out among the dragon group.
Hundreds of tall skeletons wearing lich robes exude powerful magical fluctuations. Their magic protects the flying dragons under them, and those dragons also provide them with excellent aerial maneuvers.
"Roar!" Before the dragon's breath arrived, a black breath gushed out from the armored legion on the ground.
Hellfire, the breath containing the flames of hell, completely destroyed the stability of the energy field.
Bombs rained down into the city, and the monsters in the city fled in all directions. In the armored corps, hundreds of Behemoths raised their hands high and slammed the magic circle in front of their giant claws to the ground.
"Boom! Boom!" The earth shook, soil and rocks surged, and the city walls and buildings seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and were swept into the earth.
There were earthquakes, cracks, surges, and flattening, with dust everywhere. After a long time of subsidence, more than ten minutes later, a gathering place of monsters with city defense standards disappeared from the earth.
A straight and flat path, which looked like a deliberately trimmed square, was laid in front of the armored corps.
"Bang~!" On the giant dragon's broad back, Mu Hua, holding his long-lost 'Jam Sweetheart', shot through the forehead of a winged demon.
"Click~" After loading the bullet again, Mu Hua, who had a good hand, aimed the gun at another winged demon.
The winged demons flying in the sky basically could not escape the attacks of the dragons and the sniping of the mages on their backs.
Meanwhile, on the ground, there were still quite a few powerful monsters that escaped being swallowed by the earth. As they fled in all directions, no one paid much attention to them.
The chariots sped up, the Terror Riders patrolled, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and the Black-Armored Skeleton Generals climbed onto the chariots passing by, or sat on the tank armor, or hung themselves on the chariots, and the legion advanced northward again.
The words "cut through mountains, build bridges over rivers" are definitely not enough to describe the offensive organized by Mu Hua this time.
The legion's marching route was heading directly towards the direction of the Snow Ridge Ice Palace. The goal of this operation was to break through the mountains that blocked the Snow Ridge Ranch outside the Death Canyon. At the same time, they also had to build a relatively flat road that led directly to the north.
The armored forces advanced northward for a full twenty hours, encountering almost no prolonged battles along the way, and the Snow Ridge Mountains in the north finally became clearer. (End of this chapter)
