Chapter 378, Baptism of Fire

The news of Jade Coral and Jueying's wedding reached the Grizzly Bear's palace the day after their wedding.

At the same time, it was Princess Diana herself who brought the news.

She took on the form of a dragon and flew over Grizzly's castle in the shortest amount of time.

Her arrival frightened the grizzly royal family, who were already like frightened birds!

But when the black dragon turned into a human form, the news came that the princess had married the black crow. The faces of the grizzly royal family showed a hint of relief.

They had only heard of the Black Crow King's princess before, and one of them was a black dragon, and what they saw with their own eyes today was really extraordinary!

Just that dragon power made them tremble, unable to stand, let alone fight.

And just after Diana gave Grizzly a dismount, the border Dark Demon Army assembled by Lana also crossed the Buri River and came directly to the hinterland of the Grizzly Bear's Imperial City, ready to receive their territory.

The Grizzly King is allowed to retain his throne as well as his title, as well as his own wealth. However, Klose only gave the land around his castle to the Grizzly Royals for farming or renting, and the rest of the territory was owned by Black Crow.

Of course, the Grizzly King didn't expect much, and now that he can preserve his family intact, he is really relieved.

As long as the black crow takes over his territory, the perverted prince of the viper will not dare to fight him again.

And just after the Black Raven had expanded its territory a few hundred miles northward, the Tahitian swamp landing battle in the south had also reached a fever pitch.

The Holy See and the pirates know how powerful the Black Crow's ironclad ships are! They gave up the resistance of the sea and retreated to the harbor.

They stretched for dozens of miles back from the landing beach and built countless fortifications!

The Holy See did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on the black market to buy many Suifa rifles from the early days of the Demon Forest, and equipped them with their own soldiers.

And not only that, but the Holy See also dug one trench after another more than half a man deep underground.

In doing so, they not only prevented the cavalry from quickly charging to occupy the high ground, but also provided strong protection for the musketeers in the defense.

This sudden change also caused the army of the Alliance of Gods to suffer the first defeat in the southward crusade!

In this battle, the vanguard led by Olivia suffered heavy losses!

They lost a third of their men in the face of the enemy's network of fire and the crisscrossing ravines!

This is also the biggest casualty that the Dark Demon Army has suffered since its inception!

Olivia herself was wounded in several places, but fortunately there were no critical injuries, just some abrasions.

The bureau didn't dare to let the princess of the king have any mistakes! He hurriedly ordered the forward troops to withdraw, and the ironclad ships on both flanks carried out artillery fire to cover the troops.

However, the gods of the Holy See had already built fortifications underground, and as soon as the cannon sounded, they all retreated into the ground guards made of special materials, minimizing the casualties on the defenders' side.

I have to say that after being ravaged by ironclad shipborne guns many times, these magic sticks have finally learned to be smart.

The main battalion of the Union Army was set up on a large-tonnage, stable ironclad aircraft carrier. The bureau convened several high-ranking generals in the coalition army and held the first pre-battle meeting.

Because the battles they fought before were too smooth, they were basically charging forwards, covering with artillery fire, and outflanking on both flanks, which was simply invincible.

But this landing battle has never been experienced before.... To be honest, the bureau is also a little blind.

He looked at the information transmitter beside him, a harpy. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You should go back to the castle at once, report our current situation to the king, and see if he has any good plan to deal with it." ”

The Harpy, who was tasked with delivering the news, soon flew back to Crow Castle and relayed the news of the Flied landing in Tahiti to Klose.

Klose also frowned after hearing this.... Why does this sound a bit like the Normandy landings?

How can a landing battle be fought when the defenders also have firearms? That's to fill with human lives! How else can you fight?

But after he heard that the Dark Demon Army's vanguard troops had suffered heavy casualties, his heart almost jumped out of his chest!

He was distressed! He felt sorry for every soldier he had!

And Olivia also suffered a gunshot wound during the charge, and his dear centaur can't afford to miss anything!

Klose thought about it again and again and made a decision to use the absolute superiority in the number of artillery fire to cover and bomb the enemy positions!

Didn't they dig trenches? Then blow their trenches to the ground! Look where they hide.

Klose wrote a letter and ordered another harpy to bring the news to the head of the Northern Fleet, the Pulsatilla.

Since the Holy City is now controlled by the Silver Lion, and the Grizzly Bear family has also been returned to the Black Crow, it is actually useless for the Northern Fleet to stay on the gold and silver port, and it is better to transfer to Tahiti to cooperate with the Alliance Army to carry out landing operations.

The news was quickly sent to the head of the Northern Fleet, the Pulsatilla. The harpy immediately ordered the whole team to go south! Full speed along the coastline.

Her action also scared the prince of the Viper family a lot! He also thought that after Klose occupied the Xiong family, his next step would be to annex his land.

He concentrated all the men he could mobilize on the coast, and watched the ironclad ships of the Northern Fleet pass by his waters and hurry south.

The poisonous tongue prince was frightened, but he also exhaled a long breath.... However, a haze still surrounds his heart, unable to dissipate.

That is, the territory of the Viper family has been forced to the corner of the cliff! The two major forces, the Black Crow and the Silver Lion, could wipe it out at any time! What should their future path hold? This is really the problem of the century.

While the Ragnarok Alliance was waiting for reinforcements, it was the former Cardinal Clark who was recently sent to Tahiti who came up with the idea of trench warfare.

Clarke, the right and left hand of the elder Pope Riquelme, is in his eighties this year. He is well-read, curious, and skillful, and has studied the humanities, science and technology, and history of various continents. This time, it was really the most correct choice for him to come to reinforce Tahiti.

Of course, the decision to use firearms to equip the whole army was also the result of his strong disagreement.

Traditionally, the bishops and clerical officers of the Holy See believed that paladins could only purify heretics with swords and shields. Supplemented with Holy Light Magic at most. However, the use of muskets, which are purely murderous weapons, is not permitted by the teachings of the Supreme God.

But the new Pope fully supported Clark's proposal in this matter, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on the black market on various continents to buy the kind of flintlock pistol that can fire repeatedly!

And the Dark Lord finally tasted the taste of being defeated by the firearms he had made.

After successfully defeating the Ragnarok Alliance, Clark's decision was further strengthened and supported by the army.

The Pope allocated another 20,000 gold coins for the purchase of new muskets and ammunition. And a steady stream of point-to-point plane portals are used to transport resources to the Tahitian swamps.

Opening the portal will of course consume a lot of his mana, but this is the only way to get a head start in the war!

If he had waited for him to transport supplies to Tahiti by sea, I was afraid that the cucumbers and vegetables would have cooled.

However, this victory of the Holy See did not give them a short respite. The Ragnarok Alliance still has absolute control over the seas!

Every day, the ironclad ships fired a few cannons at their coastal positions, and even if they couldn't kill them, they would be so noisy that they couldn't sleep. This is another means of the bureau, fatigue bombing!

Under this non-stop artillery fire day and night, the Southern Alliance of Ragnarok finally waited for the reinforcements they had been waiting for--- Northern Fleet!

In addition, there are three large modified airships, throwing white forest bombs, and the air force of the Demon Forest--- which is composed of an all-harpy banshee and a horned eagle!

Klose: This is preparing for a three-dimensional landing operation with land, sea and air forces in battle!

It was Saturday, June 10th.

The Ragnarok Alliance, under the command of the Supreme Governor, began to reload and aim.

This time, the bureau ordered the navy to use all the ammunition at once! If this does not succeed in seizing the north bank of Tahiti, then he will not need to rest his head on his head, he will apologize for his sins and bury his dead compatriots!

It was just past noon, and in the midst of a dull roar of ships, the final landing battle began again!

The shipboard cannons of all ironclad ships are fired together at this moment! It's like a rolling thunder smashing down on the north shore of Tahiti!

The loud sound of "boom boom ~ rumble" is endless, and the scalp of the people who are shocked is numb.

The defenders' positions were covered with dirt and smoke. Only after the first volley was there was nothing to be seen, and all the vision was obscured in the smoke and dust.

But that's not all, after the reload, the second salvo starts again!

Thanks to the addition of the Northern Fleet, the area covered by the coalition's artillery fire has more than doubled compared to before! The intensity of its firepower can be imagined.

Even if the people of the Holy See hid in a bunker made of special materials, they still suffered a large number of casualties.

Of course, they weren't killed, they were buried alive in the bunker!

Under such heavy artillery fire, the earth flew, the ground shook, not to mention the bunkers, and even the terrain of the port on the north shore of the Tahitian swamp was blown up!

As long as anyone who has watched the bombing will have a thought in their hearts, will this bombing directly blow up a gap in the continent of Tahiti?
