Chapter 240 Mammoth Father Ugo and Chaos Artillery
Magnus nodded to express their understanding. The elves' proficiency in magic made them more sensitive to the emergence of Tzeentch, and a great demon was worthy of the Dragon Prince to put aside his affairs and search for himself.
"What is the approximate composition of a behemoth unit?"
He asked the most urgent question that humans need to know. He brought eighty artillery pieces with him on this trip, thirty of which were mortars, and the others were of different calibers. As for cannons, the chaos in the empire's political situation has caused some artillery forges to have different standards, which has made logistics stressful and confusing. These eighty cannons are already the greatest support given by each elector.
This issue was also paid close attention to by Erickson. In order to deal with the behemoth unit, he brought fifteen cannons from Torrent Pass, and ignored the advice of those with long beards, opened the High King's treasury and took out three rune ballistae, just to Let the hope of victory be greater.
"This problem is difficult to explain in words." After Imrik finished speaking, he said without looking back, "Davian."
After receiving the prince's order, Davian had a blue light in his hand, which illuminated Imrik. On his body, an extremely intuitive image appeared on the desktop.
Although the others were very interested in this projection magic, they still looked at the image, and upon seeing it, their breathing began to become rapid.
A huge number of behemoths with terrifying sizes are mixed around the Kurgan tribe. The ancient dragon demon is the size of a bunker and has lightning flowing all over his body. The giant is covered with the mark of chaos and holds a huge iron rod. Beasts, and the most terrifying thing is the dozen war mammoths and the terrifying creature that is like a hill in the physical sense surrounded by them.
"What is this?" Peter Laszlo, the personal ambassador of the Pious, said in a tone full of shock and fear. After seeing a terrifying beast that was as tall as a city wall and nearly thirty meters tall at the shoulder, he said Anyone will deeply doubt that this world really allows it to exist?
The Dragon Prince answered his question, "Ugo, the father of mammoths, is the largest beast detected by Caledor."
After seeing this giant ancient mammoth from the perspective of Minas Nir, even Yi Mrik was surprised. This size was not inferior to that of the Terror Lizard, and it would only be more powerful in causing destruction and spreading fear.
This is the largest behemoth that has been detected so far. Although Imric is confident that he and Lao Mi will solve it together, the battlefield environment will not allow the father of mammoths to be slowly scraped. Solving it in close combat is completely unreliable. Can rely on long-range firepower.
"Is there any way for the giant dragon to entangle this mammoth?" Magnus asked Imric. He also thought this question was a bit stupid, but he still wanted to say it. Only Caledor in the coalition had the giant beast. A gryphon is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth of this giant mammoth. The dragon must be used to delay time so that the artillery can focus on the target.
"I can lead the high-ranking dragon prince to entangle this mammoth personally, but air defense is a big problem. Griffins and helicopters cannot deal with so many manticores, as well as the possible appearance of chimeras and chaos demon dragons."
Imri Ke unabashedly pointed out the weak points of humans and dwarves, that is, the air force is too weak. The high-speed flying behemoths will not stay in mid-air waiting for artillery fire. He did not dare to put magic, an important factor that affects the war, in the hands of the wild warlocks of the empire.
"Then do this. The manticore will be restricted by long-range firepower. We cannot let this giant beast enter the infantry line." After receiving the reply, Magnus immediately made a decision. He saw Imrik's thoughts. He wouldn't just want to gain some fame in this war, but would seriously want to do something.
"Yes, I can guarantee that this giant beast will not come even half a step closer to the infantry line."
Although the matter of this giant mammoth has been concluded, the remaining giant beasts are not so easy to deal with. Magnus rubbed He frowned and felt a lot of pressure. It is difficult for human grassroots soldiers to compare with Chaos, let alone with such a huge disparity in numbers.
The Caledor elves with outstanding combat power must be used in beheading assault tactics, and it would be too extravagant to place them in a defensive position.
The dwarves can hold their ground, but too few people are a big problem.
"We need to set up a reasonable position and try to use firepower as much as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to win."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to several locations and made predictions about the distribution of some troops. Obviously, he planned to hit the artillery first. Explode the chest, then engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Imrik looked at the direction Magnus pointed and couldn't help but nodded. These positions were exactly the same as the positions he had planned before. They could form cross fire and maximize the power of the artillery.
"Although I don't want to interrupt you, there is an issue that needs to be taken into consideration." Then he looked at the High King, "Your Chaos cousins have also joined this war, and the scale is not small." Chaos Dwarves, after the great Chaos
invasion After losing the protection of their gods and mountain fortresses, the dwarf branch left behind in the Mourn Mountains began to believe in the lesser god of Chaos, Hashut, the Father of Darkness.
For thousands of years, they have stayed in the Giant Skull Land to worship the god who saved the race. Chaos energy replaced magic resistance, and careful and subtle rune magic turned into dark witchcraft. The inherent talents and beliefs spread fear, which is a disaster for this world.
Chaos dwarves are the best representatives. They often conduct slave trades with Chaos tribes just to satisfy the eternal shortage of labor in the workshops. They will also join the invasion of the civilized world under the inspiration of the gods. Dwarf warriors, half-man cattle, Lava cannons, steel chariots, and demonic war machines are all enough to dominate the battlefield. Fortunately, their population is very small, so they can only huddle in the giant skull.
The High King's breathing began to become heavier. The Eternal Peak had already known about the Chaos Dwarves and had tried to conduct an expedition against them, but all failed without exception. Those war machines that distorted engineering and rune magic were inferior to the Dwarves. Even stronger, the large number of hobgoblins overwhelmed the dwarf army, and the centaurs tore through the meteorite plate armor, dripping with blood.
"Those guys!" Erickson clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth before slamming his fist on the table. The dwarf's hatred for the cousins of Chaos would not be lower than that of the greenskins and ratmen, but he did not explain why Imri Grams will specifically mention this matter.
"Since he is unwilling to explain, let me explain that the Chaos Dwarf troops have a large number of artillery. They are not artillery in the ordinary sense, but are driven by chaos energy. They are not just hell cannons. Although I don't know what those The specific function of the thing, but you have to be prepared for the infantry position to be bombed."
Imrik explained to Magnus that he did not know the specific situation of the Chaos Dwarves. When Lao Mi went to reconnoiter, as long as the distance If you get too close, you will be discovered. Right now, we only understand the effects of two types of artillery. One is capable of firing lava, and the other is a cluster explosive bomb.
Even Lao Mi, who had the initial dragon saddle and eternal oath, had his magic shield quickly broken. Now the coalition still needs to deal with the enemy's artillery, so this war can only be said to have no advantage at all.
