Chapter 368 War of Annihilation
Chapter 368 War of Annihilation
At this time, Antipas was still communicating with the Avars through special channels. From the current point of view, the governor just wanted to drive the demons out of the eastern border to make room for the governor's future plans, so the main force was clearing out the demons within the iron ring. Although there was some surveillance on those demons who wanted to go out to sea and return to the eternal permafrost, the intensity was not great.
This is also to prevent the demons from using the powerful weapon in their hands to make desperate moves.
Of course, the demons are very weak in research, and those human nobles are also useless and cannot fully understand what this so-called sacred remains of the Demon God is. Even though the Avars say they are willing to help the demons take over the research, the demons and the Avars are still on guard against each other.
So to some extent, Antipas did not know how terrifying the weapon in his hand was. He only knew that the governor still left some escape routes for the demons, which was considered a tacit understanding.
However, no one expected that the progress in the North was so fast. As soon as the iron ring was completed, it had the ability to break into the black fog. Most of the demons were locked in the East.
When Antipas learned that the Lars knights had entered the black fog, he immediately sent the remaining demons onto the Avar ship that was staying near the coast.
Fortunately, the North does not have much maritime strength now, otherwise the demons would really not be able to escape.
In the black fog, huge descendants of the demon god dragged their heavy bodies and organized a charge. It seemed that the black fog had become a shackle for these descendants of the demon god. All demons and descendants of the demon god wanted to break through the black fog.
Escape is one thing, fighting is another. The charge launched by these descendants of the demon god is not only to buy time for the demon clan's sea retreat, but also an attempt, an attempt to the overall strength of the North.
On the iron ring train, Lowry was leading the First Army moving rapidly towards the intelligence target.
"Notify the railway department to change tracks at the next station. A large number of demon descendants have appeared on the northern border. Have the train cars start loading ammunition and prepare for firing!"
The steel trains were speeding on the iron rings, with gun muzzles constantly sticking out of the windows. These trains were armed to the extreme, with almost the most advanced artillery on them. It was no exaggeration to say that these trains on the iron rings were truly mobile fortresses.
After giving the order, Lowry said to everyone in the commander's room: "Come on, everyone! Hammond and the guys from the Third Army have gone in to earn military merit. We can't go in, and these guys rushing out are our only way to earn military merit!"
After seeing the huge demon offspring in the distance from the train, Lowry shouted, "Fire!"
The moving train began to slow down, and the artillery began to roar continuously, with holy water bombs suppressing and magic artillery clearing.
In the last carriage, troop carriers kept driving off the train, leaving the tracks and heading towards the direction of the demon's descendants.
There will be many demons fleeing in the direction where the demon's descendants break out. The main purpose of these troop transport assault vehicles is to clean up those fleeing demons and help the trains on the iron rings to crush those demon's descendants.
Looking at the hill-like offspring of the demon god, almost no soldiers felt as scared as before. After all, not even the villagers in a border village were afraid, let alone the soldiers who trained every day to fight against these monsters.
Looking at those twisted monsters, rather than fear, these soldiers even felt a little excited, with greed revealed on their faces. Some troop transport assault vehicles even drove eagerly through the designated artillery coverage area, and only retreated to a safe area after being warned by simple communication devices.
After all, most of the soldiers in the First Army are of civilian origin and have no family heritage. But as long as they make meritorious contributions, the family tree will start with them. After their lives become settled, nothing can be more tempting than this.
Not to mention the commoners whose families had no heritage and history, even the nobles who joined the army could hardly resist the temptation of opening a single page of the family tree. The real military merits of defeating these twisted monsters were much better than the boasting and nonsense experiences of their ancestors. This was an incomparable honor for those nobles, especially those who were forcibly separated under Lind's policy.
As long as you can earn military merit, you won’t know who will be the master at that time.
On another train, Lind was observing the battlefield situation through a telescope.
Originally, Lind wanted to use the communicator to tell Lowry not to let the soldiers rush too far forward and to just fight within the fire coverage area. But after thinking about it, he decided not to do any micro-management and not to set up any flags claiming to have advantages. He just helped to organize the communication intelligence sent from various places and arranged for the various legions to conduct defense and encirclement.
When the gray-robed man beside Lind saw the huge monsters rushing out of the black fog, he felt a force distorting his spirit and arousing the fear in his heart along with the sounds coming from the monsters' huge mouths.
If it weren't for Gray Robe's strong will, he might have been affected.
Even if we put aside this mental attack, the appearance of those huge monsters alone is terrifying enough.
Gray Robe was so glad that he listened to the governor's advice and did not bring Princess Rosaline here.
Had Capet North been fighting monsters like this before? They had actually trapped monsters like this in the black fog and couldn't get out?
Only then did Gray Robe realize that the adventurers and soldiers in the tavern were not bragging when they described the so-called offspring of the devil, but were telling the truth.
It might even be a bit of an understatement, because it is simply not something that can be described using any of the adjectives currently available to humans.
Especially when you see those monsters can use magic continuously like the roaring artillery on the train on the iron ring.
Gray Robe couldn't help but wonder, what would happen if such a monster were placed on the continent of Sauron? It is estimated that one or two monsters can directly destroy a small or medium-sized country, not to mention those super mini countries that occupy a village to establish a country.
Even Castile and the Gray Robes were not sure they could stop the charge of the mountain-like monsters on the battlefield. Most people went crazy when they saw those monsters.
Even the nobles of Castile who hate super-level magic the most would probably consider using super-level magic when facing these monsters.
But what Gray Robe could not understand the most was the expressions of the soldiers on the battlefield that he saw through magic.
Excited, thrilled, fanatical.
Would these soldiers be afraid? Of course they would. After all, it was human nature to be afraid of a monster the size of a hill. However, these soldiers were different from the conscripted soldiers in Castile. While they were afraid and nervous, they also had a strong desire for merit, which was a look that was rarely seen in the soldiers in Castile.
After all, if the battle is won, it is because the noble lords have good command, and if the battle is lost, it is because the soldiers below do not perform well. This is the norm in the Castilian War.
But the soldiers on the battlefield seemed to be telling those monsters why humans have been able to stand on the earth for thousands of years.
Young soldiers are eager to achieve great things, and young generals are eager to go down in history.
"The soldiers watching along the coast sent back the news."
It was not until the Northern Governor spoke to him that Gray Robe's consciousness flew back.
"Although we have tried our best to defend, those demons are heading out to sea directly along the coastline affected by the black fog. Perhaps they are going back to the eternal frozen land, but according to intelligence, they are more likely to follow Avar's route to the continent of Sauron. They have giant dragons escorting them, so we dare not act rashly."
Upon hearing this information, the man in gray robe felt nervous.
"Do you mean that such monsters may also appear on the continent of Sauron?"
"probably not."
Even if Antipas did not know the secret of the Demon God's remains, he would not easily hand over the bargaining chips in his hand to the Avars, and the Avars would not be stupid enough to use the Demon God's flesh and blood on the continent of Sauron to cause trouble for themselves.
"But the power of the demons is not limited to those monsters. If the demons and the Avars join forces, your country may be in trouble."
