Although the distance between the imperial mechanized troops and the air force's carpet bombing of the "Magic City" was more than ten kilometers, if you want to shoot accurately, you need to close the distance to within three kilometers.

In addition, tanks are different from artillery, and there are types of ammunition such as armor-piercing bullets, so he decided to shoot again when he was close to three kilometers. They are not afraid of street fighting, but any enemy that can be destroyed by artillery fire at a long distance is better to be eliminated as much as possible.

In order to launch an attack quickly at any time, the army marched together. Close to three kilometers to start a new attack.

"Boom!" The special bullets shot out from the barrel of the tank and aimed directly at the city center. A mushroom cloud rose rapidly at the impact point, but the building remained unscathed.

Various armor-piercing grenades left a burst of sparks on the outer walls of the "city" and the outer walls of buildings.

At this time, the towers that projected explosives started to move again, and the distance was so close that there was no need for the mother bomb at the beginning, and a larger number of small explosives were thrown out of the "city" in this way. .

At the same time, several ordinary-looking buildings were opened like boxes, and from inside rose one after another magic cannons with a caliber comparable to that of the empire this time, and even larger and multi-mounted turrets. Fire on them!

The legion-level defensive barrier that was unfolding at all times was immediately penetrated. The beam-like energy spray and some turrets turned directly to open a fan. In an instant, dozens of tanks and several artillery positions were wiped out, and then a large number of enemies were thrown into the sky. Explosives fell.

Although the power was much smaller than before, there were more in number, and the infantry who lost the protection of the enchantment were killed or injured by hundreds at a time.

At the same time, the air fleet in the air was also attacked from a higher altitude.

No matter how you look at it, the sky is full of clouds, and several beams of light are shot out. If defensive magic is deployed, the light beams of that level should be blocked, but because I didn't find any enemy's aerial combat power before, I have been using all the magic on bombing, and it is too late to switch.

But still reacted quickly.

The fleet commander ordered to evade, which avoided major losses, but still two ships that were too late to evade were penetrated by the beam and exploded. Fortunately, these are all battleships, focusing on survivability. Although the two airships suffered heavy losses and lost most of their combat effectiveness, they have not fallen yet, and the trump card [Magic element disrupting radiation] can still be used against monsters.

However, a group of dragonmen immediately rushed out of the clouds, and the leader waved a long spear, piercing a violent vortex, piercing through an airship with one blow, and shooting it down.

The dragonmen rushed into the fleet, and the beams of light still descended from the clouds, completely involving the air in melee.

"The attack is so strong, it must be the human form of the storm dragon Veldora. Let the air force fight with all its strength, and allow the use of [Magic element disrupting radiation]; we will attack according to the predetermined siege formation a!" Calcilio ordered .

"But..." The adjutant was a little hesitant. He was so excited a moment ago, but suddenly became like this, which made some people hesitate.

Calcilio: "Can't you see? The enemy did not hesitate to wipe out so many monsters for nothing, just to let us get close to this distance. Presumably this is their optimal attack distance, but their current effective means will not There are more, otherwise the first few small towns would have deployed some lines of defense to resist and consume our troops layer by layer, which is the correct approach. Their previous attack with water and the current raid are to lure us here, and then force us to rush in and enter Street fighting, take advantage of the individual strength of monsters, but we have considered close-range melee in the city and formulated tactics, are you all afraid! Whether you hesitate here and suffer greater losses, or run away, you will become the king of the empire. Sinner! Execute the combat order!"

"Yes!"

At first, some officers guessed that it was Gavilu, but they swallowed it back.

The officers immediately began to work on their respective tasks, and communicated the detailed orders to each unit with magic.

Ramiris Labyrinth, War Command Post—

"Hmph." Benimaru smiled smugly and sarcasticly as he watched a large group of enemy troops flood into the defensive town pretending to be the Demon City.

"Originally, I thought that if I didn't fall for it, I would take the batch of tanks lent by Lord Crompis out for a fight. It seems that there is no need. The labyrinth facilities of Lord Ramiris are very good. It worked," he said.

"Hmph, you can worship me more." Ramiris raised her nose.

Rimuru drank his coffee without saying a word for a while. Well, I usually drink more black tea, because it seems to be elegant and stylish, but the coffee is also delicious, although it is never completely refreshing.

"tell. 【Poison Resistance】The result of taking effect. "

Sure enough, caffeine is considered poisonous, so there is no need to report this kind of thing.

He was a little taken aback when he saw the quality displayed by the soldiers of the empire in the street battles. To be honest, there must be counter-strike personnel in high positions on the opposite side. It couldn't be the man named Tatsuya Kondo mentioned in Damrad's confession. His name sounds like "Visitor from Another World". He is commonly known as Lieutenant Kondo, and he may be a qualified professional soldier of the island nation.

The use of grenades similar to Pyro Explosive Jade, and portable magic cannons similar to shoulder-fired missiles and rpgs. The one that fires is the magic called [Empty Breaking Magic Cannon]. The compressed air explodes in a directional and continuous manner, which is quite effective in a small space.

In short, it only takes them about ten minutes to capture a house occupied by ten to thirty monsters on average, and the loss is not too great.

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ The Demon Kingdom arranges monsters in the defensive towns that ordinary adventurer teams can deal with, so the resurrection time is also very short - of course not in situ resurrection, but in the underground layer of the labyrinth.

"It would be great if the enemy was willing to attack the maze as they wished. If they just occupy the surface towns like this, and then divide their forces and continue westward, it will be troublesome." Limuru finally said.

The old **** Benimaru replied in a down-to-earth way: "That's why we want to hit them hard, so that they can't just leave it alone, and give them some sweetness. Mrs. Cloenpiss asked Mrs. Coppelia to give a gift and pretend to surrender. I also let the army in charge of surface defense bring some high-quality equipment and gems, enough to be used as bait."

"Also, on the gate leading to the underground labyrinth, it says 'the weak are not qualified to pass' to make a mockery, right?" Limulu said.

"Gahaha, if it was me, it must have gone in." Veldora said proudly, the reference value is not much, but this time it is correct.

Benimaru asked, "Master Rimuru, since the other front forces have won, do you have any information on the timing of the enemy soldiers' activities?"
