Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 376 War Fortress
The arrival of tens of thousands of goblins made this mountain-based war fortress fully operational for the first time, and a large number of sealed buildings and equipment were activated under the command of goblin engineers.

As the huge steam unit in the mountain began to operate, the roar of the machine was deafening, like a beating powerful heart, and the high-temperature steam was poured to everywhere along the pipeline. The cold mountain fortress seemed to be injected with hot blood, and the war machine began to operate. .

Crowds of soldiers carried guns and ammunition on small railcars, and quickly went to the defense points of the mountain fortress. The massive ammunition was also transported by goblin workers. Let out a roar that can shake the earth.

The two-legged mech walked to the important place where it needed to be stationed with heavy steps. While reducing the power to wait for the battle, it was also making final preparations.

Owen, who had witnessed all this, felt unspeakably excited, and even began to look forward to the next war.

In fact, he didn't have to wait long. Under the infusion of evil energy, the fel ratmen, who stimulated all their life potential, swarmed like moths to a flame, trying to flood the entire position.

But the fel ratmen obviously overthink it. They can hide, and the goblins are not bad either. Everyone has hidden more than one hand, and now it depends on whose hole cards are used up first.

Driven by the steam, large and small gears and chains began to rotate, the hidden muzzles originally hidden in the mountain were opened one after another, and the heavy cannon was also slowly moved forward under the push of the base until the thick barrel was stretched out of the cannon. The mouth is straight up to the sky, like a high-spirited steel gun in the hands of a young man, ready to erupt at any time, and more than once.

Several bear goblins teamed up to load shells weighing hundreds of catties into the barrel of the gun. The hobgoblin stepped on the pedal, adjusted the shooting angle with the help of mechanical power, and then waited for the order to fire.

At this time, the one-eyed giant eagle was already flying in the sky. With the help of the projector, Owen witnessed the blackness of the fel ratmen.

Even if these fel ratmen lie still and shoot them one by one, it will not be possible in a short time, let alone the fel shooters, giant rat cavalry, and fel mechs and cannons behind them. This is a formidable enemy he has never seen before, and I am afraid that only the imperial frontier army at its peak can match it.

At this time, Owen realized that war is not a child's play, especially when facing a powerful enemy, not only will people die, but they may also fail.

If there are 50 million human beings, I am afraid that Owen is not so worried, even if the strength is stronger, because human beings have an upper limit to the casualties. After a violent bombing, even if the casualties do not exceed one-tenth, the morale will be improved. If they fall sharply, they will collapse if they exceed three floors. The evil ratmen can't do it. Judging by their posture, they have no hope of returning alive. So as long as they don't die, the war will probably not end.

"Master Demon King, the last general will definitely bring you the final victory of this war!" With the support of the resources of the entire territory, Dagu, who had never fought such a rich battle before, knelt down on one knee in front of Owen confidently, Even the title of the devil king in the early years reappeared, so that Owen didn't know what to say for a while.

No matter what, it is obvious that Da Gu is an expert in war, so he just watched quietly.

After the high-spirited Dagu took over the rights bestowed by Owen, he immediately ordered to fire.

Hidden in the mountain fortress are all heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 150mm. The range is astonishing, and the movement is also earth-shattering. On the side facing the evil ratman, dozens of heavy artillery fired together, and the dust on half of the mountain was shaken He got up and didn't fall down for a long time. If the whole of the war fortress hadn't been strengthened, it might be shaken out of cracks.

Amidst the terrifying whistling sound, the artillery shell weighing hundreds of catties slammed into the ground, and when it detonated instantly, the terrifying shock wave swept everything within a [-]-meter radius before the bursting flames, and it continued to expand layer by layer.

The fel ratmen were originally thin and small, and they could withstand the shock waves produced by the explosion of hundreds of catties of shells, and they were dense, so when a shell fell, the ones that were close to it were torn apart, and the ones that were far away were twisted and thrown into the sky. And that's just the beginning.

As the distance got closer, the 150mm howitzer also started to show off its power, hitting the enemy's head with high-damage grenades, leaving large and small craters full of flesh and blood on the ground.

The high-intensity bombardment lasted for half an hour before it began to slow down. During this period, tens of thousands of fel ratmen were turned into pieces or limp corpses, but it still couldn't stop the almost endless charge of the fel ratmen. , This made Owen, who had been observing the battle situation, look a little bad, but Dagu didn't panic at all, and calmly ordered the heavy artillery to fire in turn, increasing the cooling time, reducing the failure rate and saving ammunition at the same time.

The high-intensity shelling just half an hour directly destroyed one-fifth of the ammunition reserves of the war fortress, which is not good news.

Although the amount of ammunition stored in the War Fortress is not the amount of ammunition for the entire territory, there is an upper limit for the delivery of the portal. At this moment, both troops and supplies need to be transported, and there is not much capacity to transport the extremely heavy shells of the heavy artillery.

Therefore, if you continue to maintain saturated bombardment, you will not be able to get enough supplements before running out of ammunition, so you must save some and use the shells at critical times.

Owen felt a little distressed when he saw the amount of ammunition consumed, but he had no choice but to use traditional ammunition if he wanted a range, and this often represented two or three times more resource consumption than steam cannons.

Fortunately, after the distance was shortened, the steam weapon was ready to be used. A large number of steam cannons began to shoot shells at the head of the fel ratman, and the steam nail gun also sprayed iron rain denser than the raindrops, making the fel ratman People's unstoppable charge paused a bit.

The grenade specially prepared for killing infantry is a cylindrical metal can filled with a large number of steel balls. A grenade from a large beverage bottle explodes in the air, within a radius of [-] meters. Even wearing plate armor will be pierced by steel balls , not to mention the fel ratman who can only rely on fur, so the effect of clearing the field is very significant, and a large area is shot.

And with the steam unit in the war fortress providing a steady stream of steam, the steam nail gun also exerts the highest rate of fire in theory, and the sharp nails turn the fel ratmen within the range into blood-spitting unlucky The egg, if it suffers too much, will be torn directly.

However, when the main force of the fel ratmen is about to arrive on the battlefield, the goblin army will also face a severe test.

After the fel cannon pulled by hundreds of giant rats reaches the range, it immediately starts to fix the cannon position, and absorbs the surrounding thick fel energy for complex compression and purification, and then transforms it into a terrifying fel energy cracking projectile. go out.

The power of a fel cracking bomb like a meteor falling to the ground is extremely terrifying. It is like an invisible excavator. Once it hits the ground, a large area disappears. All fortifications are empty, regardless of heavy artillery, bunkers or The two-legged mecha turned into nothingness in a blink of an eye, and its power is not inferior to the legendary spells. If we talk about the shortcomings, apart from the inconvenience of movement, that is, the rate of fire is too slow.
