Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 605: Attack of the gods

Under everyone's gaze, the vortex on the clouds that looked like a devil's eye began to slowly and firmly fly towards the pine tree.

Although the civilized race coalition forces repelled the large-scale invasion of the wilderness race and mobilized some high-level transcendents to check the situation. But when facing a true god, these extraordinary beings who are extremely powerful in the eyes of mortals are not much different from ordinary people when facing them.

"Damn it, I can't stop it at all!" Seeing a group of extraordinary people trying to intercept this blood-red vortex but returning with feathers, the headquarters on Pine Valley was in a mess.

Because from the current situation, the power that belongs to the spider goddess Rose is now looking for the target of Pine Valley.

"I'm probably thinking about what's going on." Xiaorou, who had been monitoring the telegrams of various departments on the battlefield, suddenly said to Lawrence through soul contact. "This should be the lady's revenge, at least according to the information from various battlefields, the total attack of the Wilderness Races this night was a miserable loss, even the main force such as the dark elves or the gray dwarves suffered heavy losses."

According to the little doll, the wilderness race was basically dispatched by the entire army during this night attack and completely hit the iron plate. The reason is also very simple, that is, their memories of civilized race military operations are still in the last civilized expedition.

But what they didn't expect was that more than 70 years had passed since the last civilized expedition, and the armed forces of civilized races could be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

For example, in the civilized expedition more than 70 years ago, the transportation of civilized races mainly relied on ox-pull horses, and occasionally one or two large puppets helped to transport artillery. The weapons they used were limited to front-mounted smoothbore guns and front-mounted smoothbore flintlocks made with early steam engines.

But after more than 70 years of development, the armies of civilized races have long been different from what they used to be. Single-shot rifled rifles with metal shells at the rear replaced those front-mounted smoothbore flintlock rifles, and rear-mounted rifled guns also replaced those front-mounted smoothbore guns.

In addition, continuous-fire weapons such as steam machine guns and hand-operated revolving barrel machine guns have also been added to the military's weaponry.

Although this group of wild races also obtained some weapons of this type through various means in their daily lives, this fragmented and fragmented acquisition of weapons only made them probably realize that the weapons of the civilized race are becoming stronger.

They have no way of knowing the overall tactical upgrades that accompany these weapon upgrades, nor do they know that with the cooperation of new tactics and new weapons, the legions of civilized races can explode several times or even in the last civilized expedition during the war. Ten times more lethality.

After all, compared with the weapons of the past, the new weapons now have an unprecedented rate of fire. In other words, the armies of civilized races now have unprecedented firepower delivery.

Under the blow of those gunpowder weapons before, the wilderness races can still use their much stronger bodies and faster action speeds to take a few rounds of damage and then rush into the human front to fight with them and gain the battlefield. Victory.

But with the passage of time, the gunpowder weapons used by the modern civilized race legions have made a qualitative leap from those weapons in the past.

Therefore, in this war, the significantly increased firepower successfully isolated the army of the wilderness race at a distance from the civilized race coalition forces.

After a large number of wilderness race troops rushed into the battlefield, they realized that they couldn't rush into the front of the civilization race like in the last civilization expedition, and then launched an advantageous hand-to-hand battle against them.

Even the wilderness race suffered a greater loss because of its old-style tactics.

In the last war, due to the lack of firepower density on the human side, the Wilderness Race summarized the tactics of quickly breaking through the firepower range of the civilized race with a high-density formation, and then rushing into the front line of melee combat.

However, among the firepower of the upgraded weapons of civilized races, this dense formation is conducive to the lethality of new weapons.

After the ordinary troops can completely withstand the ordinary troops of the wilderness race, the extraordinary on the side of the civilized race can escape from the ordinary battle, and then fully devote themselves to the battle between the extraordinary and gain an advantage.

For example, in this civilized expedition, the forward troops encountered two white dragons recruited by the wilderness race to try to block the civilized race's legion.

As a result, this time because the civilized race had more extraordinary reasons for maneuvering at any time, these two white dragons were directly wiped out by those extraordinary who prepared in advance.

Naturally, in this rain of bullets, even the top creatures in the wilderness races such as dark elves or gray dwarves can hardly protect themselves.

According to statistics made in various fortresses, even the least-lost places have lost half of the dark elves, and only 1/10 of the people survived in the worst places.

Unlike the goblins or jackals that reproduce like cockroaches, the dark elves are born with a high transcendent level, but the corresponding is low and terrible fertility.

Even if the dark elves use a series of exhaustive methods to increase their reproductive capacity, their population growth rate is only higher than their light-skinned cousins ​​on the ground due to the inherently low reproductive capacity of high-level transcendents. It's only 20-30% more.

Therefore, the losses in this war can be said to be painful to the dark elves. For at least one or two centuries, the dark elves in this area will not be able to recover to their original level.

In this case, as the main **** of the dark elf, it was understandable that Rose could not bear to make some impulsive actions.

Because as the main **** of the race, when her race was severely killed, even if Rose liked to play conspiracies, she had to stand up and face the battlefield and make some counterattacks.

Otherwise, he will be considered weak. And once an evil **** is regarded as weak, then they will face countless challengers who want to replace them.

But this kind of counterattack also needs to be handled well, because the civilized race on the offensive side has more gods. For Rose, if his counterattack is too weak, it will be considered fear or fear. But if the counterattack is too strong, it is easy to be beaten by the gods of the civilized race.

Of course Rose has a way to kill the civilized race legions that entered the great mountain range, and escape from the hands of the civilized race gods who will be hunted down later. But this is a huge price.

And all the dark elves in this area add up to a small part of all the dark elves, and it is obviously not worth the price to pay for them.

It is well known that Rose is an evil deity. For the evil gods, benefit is their most concern. Including beliefs, including dogma, in their eyes are all interchangeable.

Therefore, Rose will never attack the civilized and race coalition forces in a rage because of the killing of her own people.

So now this kind of attack naturally requires careful selection of targets. For Rose, Pine Valley is a very good place.

Because this transfer station is a very important intersection on the offensive route of civilized races~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition, there are also important institutions such as field hospitals or repair shops established here. Once this place is destroyed, it will be enough to reflect Rose's powerful power and firm attitude on this matter.

At the same time, because there are not many people here, it is not because it cannot be replaced. So overall, the guards are not too strong, and the internal defenses are easily destroyed.

In this case, Rose can destroy this place and evacuate as quickly as possible, instead of spending more time disarming the defenses of those areas and giving the gods of civilized races like the two places at both ends of the mountain road. Come to create opportunities.

On the other hand, if only the pine valley is destroyed, the gods of civilized races will not do their best to hunt down. In that case, Rose would naturally be able to retreat and show her strength to other evil gods.

Realizing that their area would be the target of destruction, all the people in Pine Valley immediately moved and prepared to retreat.

Because for them, it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive before the attack, and their own strength alone would definitely not be able to stop the evil **** from attacking.
