Chapter 334 Spring of the Chain Sword
Seeing the black undead army approaching, Fording waved his hand calmly.
Dozens of light multiple rocket launchers fired a salvo on the city wall, quickly shooting out hundreds of rockets.
No matter what kind of enemy you are dealing with, rockets are definitely the best way to clear the ground!
Rockets trailing long trails fell from the sky, instantly erupting with dazzling light and heat.
Those menacing undead army were blown into dead dogs by the intensive explosion on the spot.
However, undead creatures are highly resistant to thermal weapons.
Injuries that could easily kill humans are only minor injuries to them.
Soon most of the undead creatures stood up unsteadily.
But war is never about killing enemy soldiers outright.
Many weapons even seek to destroy the enemy.
Therefore, these rockets have completed their mission of blowing up the undead creatures to pieces.
The bombed and scarred undead creature limped up the stairs of the city wall.
The city wall at the pass is very solid, purely for defense from the outside, and is almost undefended from the inside.
Therefore there are stairs to go up to the city walls.
There are some debris placed on the stairs to hinder the movement of undead creatures.
The ghoul dragged his mutilated body up the stairs and delivered his head to the heavy infantry.
The heavy infantry easily blocked the ghouls' scratches with their shields, then swung their shields to knock them to the ground.
As the dagger struck them again and again, the ghouls soon became motionless.
Although there is not much pressure to deal with, the undead characteristics of the undead creatures are still difficult to deal with.
A normal flesh-and-blood creature would be fatal with just one sword strike.
The forest troll only recovers from its wounds very quickly, and can be killed with a few more blows.
To kill these ghouls, it would take more than a dozen or even twenty dozen swords.
The holy infantry in the team can easily deal with the ghouls!
Their weapons are made of bare iron.
Light cast iron is a sacred metal that can store sacred energy without loss.
A light-cast iron weapon that contains a large amount of sacred energy is like a hot knife cutting butter when struck on a ghoul. It can cut the ghoul in half in one stroke.
The sacred energy eroded from the wounds, taking away the death energy in their bodies.
Seeing the holy infantry easily dealing with the ghouls, the heavy infantry suddenly felt the need to change weapons.
Of course, they are not switching to light cast iron weapons.
There is no point in using light iron weapons without the means to infuse the weapons with divine energy!
They wanted to replace the dagger with a tomahawk with greater cutting power.
Although the battle ax looks a bit ugly, the effect of cutting down ghouls is definitely better.
With just a few blows of the ax, the ghoul should be chopped to pieces.
But there is no need to think about the battle in front of us.
Tomahawks have never been a popular weapon among humans.
It is impossible for Lord Fording to conjure a bunch of battle axes for them.
Maybe for a long time, the dagger was their only option.
At this time, Herard was watching the battlefield footage captured by the reconnaissance satellite.
He naturally saw the heavy infantry's dilemma.
Undead creatures are also called undead creatures.
The undead creatures in the game will die as soon as their health bar is emptied.
In reality, these guys are so difficult to deal with that they can be called insane!
Melee weapons with super destructive power can effectively kill them.
After thinking about it, the only melee weapon suitable for dealing with undead creatures is the chainsword.
Chainswords exist in many film and television works and games.
This melee weapon is bulky, difficult to carry, has poor adaptability, and requires additional energy.
No one would use it in battle on Earth.
But it does account for nearly all logging duties.
The only reason preventing it from appearing on the battlefield is that guns have dominated all wars.
Whether it's a large-scale war between countries or a fight between gangs.
A gun that can kill enemies from a long distance is undoubtedly the best choice!
Undead creatures are highly resistant to thermal weapons, but are well suited to be used against with a chainsword.
And gnome engineers have some existing research works in this area. They have even studied strange shields that can rotate like gears, deflecting enemy attacks or even crushing them.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
For that kind of shield to be effective, it must have the same level of destructive power as a crusher.
No matter how optimized it is, it is impossible to hold the crusher in your hand.
However, the chain sword designed by the dwarf engineers is still a relatively reliable weapon.
The project was ultimately shelved due to the lack of suitable enemies for the chainsword.
If there is no market for a weapon design, who will continue to design it?
Why use a chainsword to kill an enemy who can be killed with a sword?
This is like the giant cannon from World War II on Earth.
A diameter of several hundred millimeters is quite normal.
With the advent of missiles and rockets, the bulky cannons soon found their way into museums.
The last swan song of the giant cannon was the Barbados Super Cannon after World War II.
The super cannon successfully ejected a 90-kilogram shell to an altitude of 180 kilometers.
This super cannon can theoretically launch shells up to 4,000 kilometers away.
It's not that it can't shoot farther, it's because the earth is round.
In fact, its ultimate goal is to launch satellites.
But in front of the more reliable Rockets, it failed miserably!
Of course, if the value of giant cannons can be proven, it is likely that the war on Earth will return to the age of cannons.
Instead of rockets and missiles flying in the sky.
The dwarf engineers were extremely excited to learn that Horad intended to restart the chainsword project.
They have always wanted this weapon to be successfully launched.
Just can't find a battlefield where they can be effective.
After all, if you want to harvest enemies in close combat on the battlefield, it would be more suitable to modify the goblin's woodcutter.
The simple and crude wheel saw can easily cut the enemy into pieces.
Seeing heavy infantry fighting against ghouls, the gnome engineers finally discovered the market for chainswords.
The rough and heavy goblin woodcutter cannot deal with these short and agile enemies.
As for converting the wheel saw into a weapon for heavy infantry to use.
The appearance is definitely unacceptable to them!
Use the wheel saw to cut the ghoul, although the cutting effect is the same.
The heavy infantrymen couldn't afford to lose that man.
With that terrible looking weapon, social death is the inevitable outcome!
Gnome engineers rushed to the battlefield to collect data and prepare to develop a suitable chainsword.
The battlefield at the pass level has always been very popular.
Wave after wave of undead creatures rushed towards the battlefield as if they were free of money.
In fact, the production cost of undead creatures is extremely low, almost free.
Therefore the war will continue for a long time.
This situation is also in line with the wishes of the dwarf engineer.
They made their previous works available to soldiers on the front lines.
This way you can get first-hand information.
A strange-looking experimental weapon, the data obtained from actual combat feedback is pretty good!
But the dwarf engineer pursues perfection.
All defects must be optimized to the best.
As the chain sword continues to be optimized, more and more "boom" sounds appear on the battlefield.
The "boom" sound is often accompanied by the sound of broken bones and flesh.
Although the process of cutting undead creatures with a chain sword is cruel.
Soldiers are increasingly fond of this weapon.
It doesn't get much cooler than this weapon!
Seeing the ghouls and zombies being sawed in two by strange weapons, King Terenas hated the black hand hiding behind the rebels.
If it weren't for the man behind the scenes, he would still have jurisdiction over the eastern and western pioneer territories.
It is so despicable to incite rebellion and provide powerful weapons!
However, King Terenas never thought about why he was targeted in this way.
In his world, he is the unparalleled emperor destined to unify the six countries!
