𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟕𝟗.2: 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐝𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 (5)
After that, Fox 3 also flew around busily to save friendly aircraft that were being tailed by twin-engine fighters like himself.
In between, he was threatened by chaos harpies and chaos gargoyles. . . but he intercepted them with fireballs and magic missiles and then poured machine gun fire on the twin-engine fighters.
While the fierce battle was taking place in the air, the ground forces quickly exited the Sishui Pass and formed their formations. In addition, the land battleships prepared their anti-air cannons in preparation for an attack by the aerial monsters.
Kugugugug. . .
At that moment, a huge number of troops appeared from the direction of Kaifeng County, shaking the axis of the earth. They were all plague troops with rotten and mangled skin. . .
In between, chaos tanks with large bodies and double-barreled cannons were also seen. The front of the tank was equipped with a dozer blade, so it seemed that it could easily break through any obstacles.
Pabong! Pabong!
The chaos tanks were the first to fire. Soon, five Tiger tanks running at the front were hit. Thanks to the shield magic and reinforcement magic applied to the armor, there was no damage. . . but they couldn’t just stand there and take it. The Tiger tanks immediately retaliated.
Pababababang!
Dozens of Tiger tanks opened fire on the chaos tanks. However, the chaos tanks did not collapse easily despite not having any magic to speak of, as they had tough heavy armor.
Boom! Thud!
It seemed that it was difficult to inflict damage with the Tiger tank’s 88mm main gun.
Then, the Lion tank’s 155mm main gun fired.
Paeng! Shuaak! Kwawang!
Unlike the Tiger tank’s attack, it certainly showed tremendous power and tore apart the armor of the chaos tank in one breath. Seeing this, the tank corps put the Lion tanks in front and had the Tiger tanks deal with the rest of the demon forces.
Every time fire erupted from the wave of armor, the demon forces were swept away, and the chaos tanks in between were destroyed by the Lion tank’s 155mm shells. Of course, the turrets still moved, so the chaos tanks continued to attack without giving up, even though their engines had stopped.
Fire erupted from the extended gun barrel, and two heavy shells hit the outer armor of the Lion tank. The shield magic activated, absorbing one shock and breaking, and the armor coated with reinforcement magic endured the shock and held out.
“It seems to be at least 100mm caliber?”
“If we keep taking hits like this, it’ll be tough even for the Lion tank.”
“So we have to deal with it quickly.”
Using the 88mm sub-cannon to hold them back, he had the 155mm main gun, which had finished loading, hit the chaos tank that had stopped due to engine failure.
Paeng! Kugwang!
At that moment, chaos ogres and chaos minotaurs began to run from behind the burning chaos tanks. The Tiger tanks immediately responded and hit the ones that were running one by one.
The power of the 88mm main gun was too powerful for the ogres or minotaurs with their thick hides to withstand. Even though they were stronger because they were contaminated by the demonic power of chaos, they couldn’t help but be torn apart when anti-tank armor-piercing shells were used.
Then, the aerial battleships in the air changed the direction of their cannons to the ground and soon began shelling. The rain of steel falling from the sky instantly burned all the chaos forces on the ground.
The shockwave emitted by the explosion and the shrapnel contained in the shells crushed and tore apart the chaos forces, sweeping them away at an incredible speed.
In the end, the plague demons had no choice but to come to the forefront. They had tried to inflict as much damage as possible with monsters and dimaens. . . but they had ended up taking damage instead, so they had mobilized the demons.
Soon, Gigant riders began to airdrop. This was because a Gigant could easily handle even mid- to high-level demons.
About 3,000 Gigant riders airdropped at the same time and got on the Gigants as they landed on the ground. Soon, they crushed the plague demons right below them or cut them in half with their great swords.
The appearance of a total of 3,000 Gigants. . . The chaos ogres and minotaurs rushed in, but they were not enough to push back the 25-ton Gigants.
The chaos ogre was about 6m tall and weighed 9 tons. And the chaos minotaur was about 5m tall and weighed about 8 tons, so it was natural that they would be pushed back against the 25-ton Gigant.
Soon, the aura-clad giant sword struck the chaos ogre’s neck, and the ogre’s head flew through the air as its massive body collapsed. The clash between the Gigants and the ogres and minotaurs was like a scene from a monster movie, but upon closer inspection, one could see the Gigants’ one-sided massacre.
Soon, the Gigants began to clash with the demons. . . Their sizes varied, but it was clear that one needed to be at least as big as a Gigant to compete with a demon.
Three great swords swung towards a single target in the air, and the high-level demon scattered demonic power towards the three great swords approaching him.
Kwaaaaang!
Nevertheless, the great swords swung by the Gigants did not stop and hit the demon from three directions, with the demon in the middle. The demon hit by the great swords was crushed and soon scattered into dust.
