Chapter 458: Fierce Battle
At this time, the battle in the distance was still raging, and on the surface, Emperor Shitian's modern army had the upper hand, beating the opponent to the ground with floating corpses and rivers of blood, and there was no way to even get close to the city wall.
However, Emperor Shi Tian frowned deeply, and sighed helplessly: "It's troublesome, it's really troublesome this time, I didn't expect these guys to be cannon fodder, elite combined legions, I knew that it really shouldn't be so big." ”
"What do you mean?" the little angel immediately asked curiously.
"The army can actually be divided according to elite and cannon fodder, some people like elite troops, tilt all resources to elite soldiers, almost no cannon fodder, pay attention to soldiers, fine is not wide, while others like to use cannon fodder, feel that the use of ice is more and better. Emperor Shi Tian said: "These two art of war, everyone has been arguing for many years, and there has been no winner or loser. ”
"Which one do you support?" asked the little angel at once.
"I am a unification faction!" Emperor Shi Tian said solemnly: "I think that the army is a thing that must have both quality and quantity, and neither is indispensable. Therefore, in my troops, there are not only super warships the size of planets, but also a large number of mecha used by individual soldiers, and when encountering a big war, use cannon fodder to contain the opponent, attract firepower, and use the elite to take the opportunity to kill the opponent's important units, that is the royal way to victory. ”
"Well, it seems that the spider army on the other side is like this. The little angel said in surprise, "They use poisonous insects as cannon fodder, and they also have a large number of elite spider monsters, which is really difficult to deal with." ”
"That's true, I thought these guys were spider legions, and only the big spiders should be, and they took the elite route, so I made such nine fortresses, and planned to kill them all with a massive arsenal of arms. Emperor Shi Tian finally smiled bitterly: "But I never thought that there are poisonous insects in these spiders, and these hundreds of millions, completely uncountable poisonous insects, have become the key to victory, and their threat is even more than those big spiders." ”
"Really?" said the little angel in surprise, "Why didn't I see it?"
"Those big spiders are huge, but they can't climb the walls, and they're basically targets for all kinds of firearms, so there's no need to worry. Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said: "But those poisonous insects are different, the small ones are about the same as mosquitoes, and the big ones are the size of a palm, crawling on the walls are like walking on the ground, but they are so small in size, bullets and cannons are not too lethal to them." But once these guys are allowed to enter the castle, I am afraid that it will not be long before all the warriors inside are bitten to death. ”
"Oh, that seems to be the case. The little angel reacted at this time, and immediately realized: "No wonder you have to give priority to the order, use those three group injury spells to focus on eliminating these little guys! But even so, I'm afraid there is no way to completely stop the poisonous insects from entering the castle!"
"So!" Emperor Shi said helplessly, "I have to use the power of the mage to protect the people in the castle." ”
"Ahh If the bullets on the Necromantic airship run out, I'm afraid the front line will be in a bitter battle while they replenish it. ”
"There's no way around it!" Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said, "Let the necromantic airships on the front line be divided in half to replenish the bullets." In this way, there will be no situation where the bullets will be exhausted at the same time, and even half of the necromantic airship will be able to shoot in the air. ”
"Yes!" the little angel immediately agreed, and then began to issue orders.
As the new order was issued, the magic carpet mages flying in the sky immediately landed in various castles one after another, and then began to arrange temporary enchantments.
This kind of enchantment will be dewormed tomorrow morning, and it is a kind of enchantment often used by mages in the wild, and any insect that wants to pass through the enchantment will be electrocuted by the electrical energy released by the enchantment.
Since the long-seated spider castles are all fully enclosed, leaving only many windows for shooting holes, it is not very difficult for mages to arrange fully enclosed enchantments.
Just seal all the shooting holes with an insect repellent enchantment.
The work was extremely simple, and with the busyness of nearly 10,000 mages, it was completed quickly.
However, new problems have arisen.
The insect repellent enchantment itself is a small enchantment, the power is very weak, and the current stored in it is also very low, and it will run out of mana if it doesn't kill many bugs.
After all, the insect repellent enchantment is for mages to repel insects in the wild, how many insects can you encounter after sleeping in the wild for one night?
Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands are all over the place, so there's no need to store too much mana in this one-time insect repellent enchantment.
But now it's different, once the opponent's Zerg army comes over, it's the sea of worms!
Even if the insect repellent enchantment can kill 100,200,000 poisonous insects, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it will soon be broken by the insects with their own flesh and blood.
So in order to prevent such a thing, the mages did not set up a temporary deworming enchantment.
This deworming enchantment must also be strengthened, which means that a magic circle is carved in the back to increase the power of the deworming enchantment, so that it can kill larger insects, and it can also obtain a steady stream of mana replenishment from the magic water.
This is the only way to fend off more and more bugs.
And these magic arrays that require temporary blessings are not so easy to complete, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take several hours.
And once the deworming barrier is broken during this period, they will also have to repair the deworming barrier again, and at the same time have to complete the work of the magic array, which will definitely delay a lot of time.
Therefore, although Emperor Shi Tian seems to be quite calm now, he is a little anxious in his heart, for fear that the insect repellent enchantment will not be able to stop these damn insects.
And at this time, Emperor Shi Tian suddenly remembered one more thing, and hurriedly ordered: "Order logistics, transport a batch of antidote potions and purification scrolls." ”
In fact, at the beginning of the war, Emperor Shi Tian had already asked the troops to prepare a large number of antidotes and purification scrolls, because most of the spiders in the spider forest were highly poisonous, so they naturally needed targeted means.
But I didn't expect the war to become like this, and the release of toxins is no longer a big spider, but mainly small poisonous insects, so the chance of poisoning will increase greatly, and the antidote methods prepared before are not enough.
Fortunately, Emperor Shi Tian's wisdom is superb, even in this tense time, he can do not leak, so he will think of making up for this shortcoming.
While issuing orders, the little angel secretly admired Emperor Shitian's command ability in his heart, and he really deserved to be the invincible commander who dominated the world, and he was simply thoughtful and did not show a trace of flaws to his opponent at all.
And just after Emperor Shitian's order was issued, the barrage Ji in the Jiangshan Sheji space immediately urgently mobilized some trucks to pull out a large number of antidote and purification scrolls from the warehouse and send them to the main castle through the teleportation array.
Immediately afterwards, some necromantic airships with little ammunition were urgently summoned to load these, special supplies, and send them to various satellite cities.
It took more than an hour to transport the antidote and purification scrolls, especially when it was assigned to the following, and it took a lot of effort.
And just when the Minotaur warriors on the front line finally got several extra items.
The situation on the front line finally couldn't hold on, and after being transferred out of a batch, the necromantic airship happened to run out of ammunition just in time and had to go back to replenish it.
In addition, those orc mortar howitzer knights have also become exhausted due to continuous reloading, which makes the firepower density in the sky greatly reduced, and there is no longer a way to suppress the army of insects like a tide.
Soon, the insect tide was like a stream, coming from all directions, approaching the satellite city in front.
The caveman shooters on the middle floors of the satellite city, as soon as they saw that they had entered their own range, immediately activated the grenade launchers desperately, and one by one they smashed into the insect tide like hailstones, and then triggered a series of explosions, basically ice ring and lightning nets.
Due to the relatively small size of the grenade, there was no way to ban powerful spells such as the Fire Wall Technique, so the Ice Ring Technique and the Thunder Net Technique were chosen.
The Ice Ring Technique can release dozens of square meters of cold air, causing the ground to freeze instantly, thus greatly reducing the speed of real movement.
And this cold may not be harmful to the larger spiders, but for those small poisonous insects, it is enough to kill.
The same is true for the Thunder Web Technique, which can not only paralyze large spiders, but also kill small spiders and poisonous insects in an instant, which can be called the nemesis and killer of insects.
Anyway, as soon as the cave people wielded their might, the ground was immediately enveloped in white light, either ice or flickering thunder and lightning, and almost all the poisonous insects died on the spot.
As for the huge spiders, they didn't care about these two spells, and continued to charge wildly until they were killed by the Minotaur 30mm.
However, over time, the scale of the insect wave not only did not decrease with the Holocaust, but became larger and larger.
Obviously, at the beginning, it was only the poisonous insects and spiders at the edge of the spider forest that were dispatched, but now, eighty percent of the spider legions in the depths of the spider forest have also come to join in the fun.
Therefore, the front line of the insect tide suddenly changed from hundreds of kilometers to thousands of kilometers, gradually widening, indicating that more and more terrifying insect tides are coming from the deepest part of the spider forest.
At this time, Emperor Shitian's army was actually a little tired, and after two or three hours of fierce shooting, even the strong Minotaur was tired from pulling the trigger, and his fingers were sore.
As for the orcs who loaded the shells, they had already rotated more than a dozen waves, and now they all had sore arms and were exhausted.
Even their barrels were forced to cool down for several rounds.
