Chapter 1680, even the means
After some time passed, Chris Evans received the news. Although he was mentally prepared, after learning the exact news, his entire facial muscles still twitched uncontrollably.
Those guys from China really took action.
Leaving aside the fleet at sea, a port city was captured by the opponent in one breath, which made Chris Evans feel a little bad.
The troops who evacuated the city in an emergency at that time also brought him some news, and the news mentioned a kind of steel monster.
As a modern person, through a simple description, the word "tank" undoubtedly quickly appeared in Chris Evans' mind.
Looking at the entire battlefield, he could not think of anyone else who could build a tank at this stage except Tang and Song Dynasties, who were players of the dwarf civilization.
The emergence of this powerful land warfare weapon made Chris Evans feel more pressure.
The most important thing he needs to do right now is to recapture the fallen port city as soon as possible.
For Tang Song and Hua Ye who launched the expedition, as long as they did not have a frontline stronghold, they would not be able to stay here for a long time.
As for the future, Chris Evans plans to focus on defense.
After all, his main army is attacking Philip Albert's territory. If he transfers his main army back now, all his previous attacks will be in vain.
For this reason, there is no way to let the main force continue to attack while he himself takes a defensive position.
Faced with this situation, Chris Evans is still quite confident.
After all, he is the second-ranked player in the Silver Rank rankings, so he won’t fall into trouble so easily!
Now shift the perspective to Philippe Albert.
At this moment, the offensive efficiency of the dark elf army is undoubtedly involved in more situations.
If they can use the power of Hydra to get rid of Philip Albert in a short time, then Tang Song and Hua Ye on the other side may have a difficult time.
Amidst a rumbling sound, it took a lot of time and effort, and with the unremitting efforts of the dark elves army, a road was finally cleared through the collapsed valley.
It was still early at this time, and Delk, who breathed a long sigh of relief, signaled his army to take a short rest, and then quickly ordered the entire army to advance again.
As a result, before they had pushed far, Hydra, which was opening the way ahead, stepped into the carefully laid minefield on the opposite side...
The roar of violent explosions was endless. It was obvious that in order to hinder their advance, Philip Albert used all the means at his disposal.
The mines with significantly increased gunpowder filling have an astonishing explosive power and extremely high density, but it is obviously still far from enough to hurt Hydra.
In this way, Delk directly asked Hydra to shoulder the task of 'clearing mines' and pushed it forward.
After letting them get through the minefield safely, it was natural that they had to comfort this man.
Among the dark elves, Hydra has a very high status. Even a general like Delk cannot command Hydra in an 'instructive' tone. They must all 'discuss' carefully.
Just fine.
Being blasted endlessly by landmines, although it didn't cause much damage, the man's mood became a little irritable.
At this time, Delke, who knew what to do, quickly ordered several live cattle and sheep to be delivered.
When you are on an expedition, it is not easy to eat meat, let alone fresh cattle and sheep. Carrying them can be said to greatly increase the transportation cost of military supplies.
But there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to calm this man down, it's useless just to bring some dead cows and sheep.
The Hydra opened its bloody mouth wide. Like many snakes when eating, the Hydra also swallowed the prey in one bite and then slowly digested it in its stomach.
After pacifying the Hydra, Delk commanded the army to continue advancing.
He was not in a hurry. The closer he got to the battlefield, the calmer he should be.
Philip Albert's defense line is right there, and he can't run away. Once the distance is close, it's time to adjust his state. If he rushes forward in a hurry, he will easily lose.
As a veteran, Delk obviously would not make such a stupid mistake.
But Philippe Albert will not wait around.
During that time, they also sent out small troops one after another to harass the camp of the dark elves army day and night, obviously not intending to let them have a good rest.
And as the two sides continued to show off their tactics, an offensive and defensive battle began!
Seeing the Hydra appearing from afar, the highest level of alarm was immediately raised within the fortress.
Mortars fired white phosphorus bombs immediately, attacking the advancing Dark Elf army.
The power of the white phosphorus bomb is obviously useless against Hydra. The main target is actually the main force of the dark elf army.
As for Hydra, Philippe Albert prepared special armor-piercing bullets for it!
Amidst the roaring sound of artillery, a large number of armor-piercing shells launched a concentrated fire attack directly towards Hydra.
Feeling the threat brought to it by those armor-piercing bullets, Hydra let out a violent hiss, and at the same time quickly cast a strengthening spell, wrapping its huge snake body in a burst of spell light, and then launched a crazy push.
During this period, the dark elf army under the command of Delk also launched continuous attacks. The predator ballistae poured out firepower, the dark elf mage began to chant spells, and a large number of harpies launched a killing attack from the air.
While the enemy garrison is equipped with negative BUFF, it launches a fatal attack.
Outside the defense line, the war raged.
Facing the garrison troops that had pressed all their combat power and had been gathering momentum for a long time, even the powerful Dark Elf army had to pay a heavy price under this intensive artillery attack.
Constantly confirming the entire battle situation, within the fortress, Philip Albert saw an opportunity and decisively issued an order.
Behind the fortress, three airships that had just arrived at the front line quickly took off, loaded with napalm bombs, and flew towards the main battlefield.
At that moment, looking at the three airships appearing in his field of vision from afar, Delk, who was directing the battle from behind, his expression changed obviously.
The terrifying napalm bombing before was still vivid in his mind. Now that the airship appeared again, how could he not be shocked?
Without hesitation, the signal was sent out, and the Harpy troops immediately changed their attack targets and went straight towards the three airships, trying to forcibly shoot them down before the three airships flew over their heads!
Chapter completed!
