Chapter 411 I’m not afraid that you’ll give me too much, but I’m afraid that you won’t come.
After the first beholder swarm was destroyed.
Chen Xuan was keenly aware that the monster's offensive seemed to have slowed down.
The cannon fodder has basically been exhausted.
Nowadays, most of the people entering the battlefield are those third-level monsters.
From the outside, it looks like the monsters are still maintaining their offensive.
But in fact the pace of the attack is much slower than before.
The size of the third-level monster is larger, but the charging speed is naturally slower.
The Minotaur at the front slowly but firmly stepped into the area where the flames were burning.
They are all protected by the magic of chaos.
The huge figure was reflected in the orange flames, looking like pitch black torches.
And the pace of these guys is also very determined.
The third-level minotaur, known for its thick skin and tough flesh, is indeed more resistant to beatings than goblins and black-striped lemures.
Such changes directly slowed down the offensive rhythm on the spot.
Let your own attack density also decrease.
Every third-level minotaur can persist for a short while in the hail of bullets.
But just for such a short period of time, the results showed were completely different from before.
It turned out that our side was fighting those low-level cannon fodder monsters like mowing grass, and we could see them falling in pieces.
These minotaurs are like stubborn and tough shrubs.
Although the sickle transformed from the barrage can cut it off, it is not as easy as before.
In addition, the distribution of the Minotaur is relatively loose.
This resulted in a slower pace of attack on site.
Chen Xuan rubbed his chin and figured out something unusual.
There was something really wrong with the monster responsible for directing the attack this time.
This is not the first time he has fought against a demon.
Even for a wise demon commander, there has never been such a thing as a battlefield rhythm.
It's basically a mindless charge.
At most, one or two rounds of cannon fodder are sent out to test the strength of the attack before the official charge.
It would never be as fierce as the initial charge.
Now it seems to be deliberately delaying.
Directly allow twenty to thirty thousand minotaurs to enter the line of fire at a normal walking pace.
Because there is no point in doing so.
Even if the attack slows down slightly, no minotaur can cross the burning zone and enter the front range of the battle fort.
On the contrary, it will give the defenders of the Thorn Fort a chance to take turns to rest.
By the way, perform simple maintenance and cleaning on the RPG rocket launcher and the M2 heavy machine gun on hand.
The hot gun barrels were removed one by one and replaced with new accessories.
This will increase the duration of the battle.
At the same time, Chen Xuan also discovered that the fog of war in the distance seemed to become thicker.
This doesn't bode well.
He used remote control to control a mini crawler reconnaissance vehicle to enter the foggy area from the side.
At the same time, he ordered the caster team to activate natural disaster-level magic according to the situation as appropriate.
Further reduce your own counterattack intensity.
The garrison was even required to take turns taking breaks according to a preset plan.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
If the enemy moves, I will move.
Now that the monsters have slowed down their offensive, the Magtan garrison has also slowed down.
The mini tracked reconnaissance vehicle looks similar to an ordinary remote control vehicle.
Just slightly larger in size.
The upper part is square and about the same width as two stacked shoe boxes.
It has a simple reconnaissance module, although it is not as good as a professional aerial reconnaissance pod.
It integrates a telephoto lens, an ultra-wide-angle lens, far-infrared sensing and a short-range mapping laser matrix.
It is definitely more than enough for temporary reconnaissance on the ground.
The signal relay station was set up in the Prism Battle Fortress.
This allows it to achieve a remote control range of 120 kilometers and a battery life of about 400 kilometers.
Folding photovoltaic panels are also installed on the top.
But it’s a moonlit night now, and even if the photovoltaic panels are unfolded and the sun shines brightly, it will take nearly 20 hours to fully charge.
Chen Xuan doesn't even plan to recycle it.
Because it's not fast, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
Therefore, Chen Xuan has no intention of recycling it at all. He can just self-destruct after investigating the information.
The reconnaissance vehicle contained two kilograms of TNT and thermite, enough to melt it into iron slag.
The area shrouded in the fog of war is dozens of kilometers away.
The tracked reconnaissance vehicle, not much larger than a toy car, took an hour or two to arrive.
Compared to the pterosaur drone flying in the air.
This thing needs to be more low-key and less attention-grabbing.
It shuttles low-key from the side, and occasionally a huge high-level monster will pass by.
But they all ignored this little lifeless thing.
In front of the fortress, the natural disaster-level magic that had been prepared was formed one after another and then released directly.
Or the rain of fire that fills the sky, or the freezing frost, or the roaring wind blades.
These natural disaster-level magics can all affect a radius of several hundred meters.
It can indeed be called a natural disaster-like effect.
After casting hundreds of natural disaster-level magics, those minotaurs and other monsters that entered the sea of fire area were all cleared out.
Chen Xuan asked the spellcasting team to rest and standby, and was not in a hurry to prepare the next round of natural disaster-level magic for the time being.
The counterattack intensity of the entire battle fort was also reduced across the board.
RPG and anti-tank guns will only be used when high-level single monsters with hard armor appear.
The four-unit 37mm anti-aircraft guns were also stopped for maintenance and repair.
Instead, it was the Bald Eagle's M242 Bushmaster 25mm chain-mounted cannon that fired.
The high and low range of this machine gun is -10 to +60 degrees, and the turret can rotate 360 degrees. The base ammunition count of the artillery shell is 420 rounds, with 210 rounds in the front and rear magazines.
The barrel length of the machine gun is 81 times the caliber. The long barrel greatly increases its power. The best effective range against ships is 2000 meters, the maximum range is 4000 meters, and the effective range against air is 1500 meters.
Large caliber rapid fire weapons are usually found in the Navy.
And like the conventional Sanqi anti-aircraft gun, the rate of fire is still relatively low.
Chain cannons like the Bushmaster are different.
In addition to being placed on ships, it is often used as a suppression gun for coastal defense and as a machine gun equipped on armored vehicles.
Because the shooting speed of the Bushmaster is divided into multiple levels.
They are single shot, 100 shots/minute, and 200 shots/minute adjustable.
And by replacing 5 parts, the maximum rate of fire can be increased to 500 rounds/minute.
The comprehensive service life of the gun barrel is about 8,000 rounds.
This single unit's rate of fire is much faster than the 37mm anti-aircraft gun.
You must know that even the Sanqi anti-aircraft gun modified by Chen Xuanmo has a firing rate of about 50 to 60 rounds per minute for a single barrel.
Of course, the overall rate of fire in the quad-mounted state is still barely passable.
But it can't be compared to the Big Viper chain cannon.
And the Bushmaster is a cannon that is very suitable for modification into a remote-controlled weapon station.
If the bloat problem is not considered, the magazine capacity can also be increased.
Therefore, Chen Xuan placed the Bushmaster cannon at the commanding heights of the tower in front of the battle fort, as well as at several other places suitable for placing remote-controlled weapon stations.
And all of them are remote-controlled firepower and can be controlled remotely.
Its range is also sufficient, and its ultimate range can reach four kilometers under level shooting.
The Big Viper chain cannon fired one after another,
Chen Xuan saw with his own eyes a Minotaur advancing against a wooden shield imbued with chaotic magic power, and then was smashed to pieces by the "crackling" blow of the Serpent's chain cannon.
It is said that after this thing is equipped with hard-core armor-piercing bullets, it can even destroy tanks.
Of course, it's definitely not a front-on smash.
With its power, if it attacks the weak tail of the tank, it has a high chance of breaking through the defense and destroying the fuel and ammunition in the tail compartment.
Blue Star, where firearms technology has almost reached its peak.
There is never a shortage of powerful thermal weapons.
Chen Xuan controlled the reconnaissance vehicle to move forward while observing the situation at the scene.
The enemy's behavior of slowing down the offensive and increasing the area covered by the fog of war is very strange.
About an hour later, more than 100,000 monsters died on the way to the charge.
The tracked mini reconnaissance vehicle finally entered the area covered by the fog of war.
The images that came with the feedback made Chen Xuan narrow his eyes.
Behind the fog of war, there are more monsters gathering from all directions!
There are so many that even the ultra-wide-angle lens of the reconnaissance vehicle cannot capture them all.
It can be seen that the monster commander here is quietly and quickly gathering more monsters.
"interesting."
"Are you planning to launch a real demonic sea tactic with a super-sized number of monsters?"
"It seems that the monster commander responsible for attacking here is bound to capture the Thorn Castle."
"Or is that guy originally coming for me?"
Chen Xuan thought in his heart.
Judging from the current feedback, the monster's specificity is still very clear.
The reconnaissance vehicle cautiously moved around the perimeter.
It was found that the number of monsters that had gathered so far exceeded at least four million.
And the gathering process hasn’t stopped yet.
There are also a steady stream of monsters coming from the foggy areas behind and on the left and right sides.
There are many monsters that even Chen Xuan has never seen before.
This situation shows that the monster commander is planning a big move against the Thorn Castle.
Just when Chen Xuan was about to take the risk and let the reconnaissance vehicle pass through the densely packed monsters.
A ferocious demon face suddenly appeared in front of the camera.
Before this guy could destroy the reconnaissance vehicle, Chen Xuan decisively started the self-destruction program.
The picture instantly turned into a snowflake pattern, and there was no longer any image feedback.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered to activate the Tomahawk cruise missile.
The Tomahawks he deployed were mostly conventional warheads.
But a version with a tactical nuclear warhead is also prepared.
As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster.
Chen Xuan is not afraid of the large number of monsters, but he is afraid that the monsters will not come.
Among the deployed Tomahawks, the BGM-109A nuclear attack version on land.
It can carry the W-80-1 nuclear warhead with an adjustable yield of 200,000 tons.
In fact, a large cost of the Tomahawk cruise missile lies in routine maintenance.
This is especially true for animals like the bald eagle that need to maintain a large number of weapons for a long time.
Routine maintenance accounts for almost the majority of subsequent expenses.
But people like Chen, who can fight as much as they want, don't have that much trouble.
He first ordered 12 blind rounds of conventional Tomahawks to be fired into the area covered by the fog of war ahead.
It is used to explore paths, so there is no extravagant expectation of accuracy.
Without guidance support, it is not easy for the Tomahawk cruise missile to take advantage of the advantages of long-range attack. Blind firing has become a good alternative.
First conduct a blind firing test, and then launch the nuclear warhead version of the Tomahawk after the situation is roughly determined.
And in order to prevent the magic shield, you can fire two missiles in batches with a few seconds interval, so that the first one is used to break the defense and the second one is used to kill.
There is no doubt about the power of mushroom eggs.
The yield of 200,000 tons is not small, in the face of such a weapon of large-scale destruction.
The Demon Sea Tactics is a joke.
Originally, Chen Xuan didn't plan to use this move so soon.
But now that the monsters have begun to gather on a large scale.
Then it makes no sense for him to continue to hold on, not to mention that the mushroom eggs themselves do not only have one specification, ranging from tactical nuclear warheads with an equivalent of several thousand tons, to strategic nuclear warheads with an equivalent of hundreds of thousands or even millions of tons. have.
He can release them one by one when the time comes.
The 12 Tomahawks were launched quickly, and the foggy area was selected for blind firing.
Chen Xuan personally watched them surging upward into the sky.
At a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, they can finally take advantage of their range advantage.
These missiles fly to their destination at a speed of Mach 0.74.
Equivalent to 905 kilometers per hour.
A distance of more than 100 kilometers can be crossed in just a few minutes.
That's already beyond visual range.
However, after the Tomahawk cruise missile landed and exploded, Chen Xuan still vaguely saw twelve groups of fire rising.
The fog of war was lifted, vaguely revealing a large area of dark monsters.
Chen Xuan nodded. He was not sure whether it was the core area of the monster.
But it doesn't matter.
Under the bombardment of the battle ax, a black chaotic magic light shield can be seen emerging.
"Follow the previous blind firing parameters."
"Launch a nuclear warhead."
"7 seconds apart."
Chen Xuan once again issued a new order from the intercom.
Immediately, another thicker battle ax flew into the sky.
After only 7 seconds, the second one of the same type was launched.
There are also seven or eight Tomahawk cruise missiles carrying conventional warheads mixed in among them.
It plays the role of fish in fish eyes.
Prevent monsters from consciously intercepting.
The tentative strike just now naturally caused a commotion among the monsters.
Including the blasphemous charm Oga who sits deeper in the core area.
It was a little surprised. It didn't expect that the other party had the means to hit it so far.
But that's all.
Because the impact points of those explosive attacks are scattered.
Most of them were directly blocked by the shield of chaotic magic.
So it didn't take it to heart.
He just silently kept in mind the fact that the Prism Battle Fort had long-range attack methods.
At the same time, all ministries were ordered to maintain the chaotic magic shield.
She herself is located in the open land more than ten kilometers away from the core area.
The situation on the battlefield and assembly area is being observed in real time.
He didn't care about the remote attacks coming again.
In her opinion, it would be easier to actively intercept than to directly use the shield to resist.
But he didn't expect that it would be this calmness that would lead him to witness an unforgettable scene! (End of chapter)
