Heroes of Silver Moon - Chapter 713

The mist filled the air, and breakfast consisted of hot porridge, bread, and bacon, filling his stomach simply and neatly. The commander of the Seventh Company, Bram, picked up the binoculars and watched the situation on the other side of the river as usual.

Yesterday’s explosion behind the base camp, as well as the heavy fog, always made him feel a little uneasy.

The thick fog blocked the vision very much, and Bram couldn’t see anything clearly, so he had to put down the binoculars in vain.

At this moment, the deputy company commander Quinn came to the side quietly: “The people from the empire will only rush to die. Even if there is heavy fog blocking the view today, there is no need to be so nervous.”

Without armor, the most valuable thing in the whole body is the weapon. To be honest, fighting the soldiers of the empire these days is almost like shooting a moving target. It’s just for them to practice marksmanship.

Bram shook his head: “War is no child’s play. If you are not sure, there will be accidents, and it will be too late to regret it!”

Quinn shrugged, leaned against the trench wall, and said with a smile: “Speaking of which, is it time for you to be promoted to captain? Every time you go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, you are the only lieutenant around, isn’t it embarrassing?”

Bram also smiled: “It’s not that simple. I was a corporal a year ago, and the promotion speed is fast enough.”

Quinn blinked suspiciously: “Well, is that right… I remember, you have something to do with the headquarters!”

Bram’s face darkened: “Huh? Who told you that!”

Quinn was a little helpless: “Everyone in the regiment knows it, it seems that it was first spread from the leader of the regiment.”

Bram: “…”

In fact, he always felt that he hid it well, but he didn’t expect it to be leaked long ago, and it was from the regiment commander. But then again, with the rank of lieutenant as the company commander, anyone can think that he has something to do with it!

Bram glared at Quinn: “Don’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing. The promotion system of the new legion is quite fair. If there is a relationship, it’s just icing on the cake. It’s impossible to promote someone without evidence.”

“That’s true.” Quinn nodded in agreement. Unlike an officer like him transferred from the Second Army, Bram really crawled out of the dead.

The faster the promotion speed, the more risks it takes. Otherwise, the review department would not approve the appointment of Bram’s company commander.

Being able to survive on the battlefield comes first, combat merit comes second, seniority comes third, and relationships come fourth. This is the officer promotion system of the new army.

While the two were chatting, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the distance, and Bram immediately picked up the binoculars vigilantly to watch.

The sound of boom and boom was getting closer, and the soldiers in the trench raised their hearts.

Finally, hundreds of rock puppets with a height of three stories broke through the fog and appeared in the telescope.

Behind the rock golem, there are tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers who are obviously different from the previous few days, with more complete equipment and more military literacy.

Bram’s expression changed immediately: “Not good, hurry up and ask for artillery strike.”

In addition to their rifles, their first-line companies only had three heavy machine guns and a mortar, so they couldn’t deal a devastating blow to this large rock puppet, they had to have artillery units!

Quinn’s expression also became serious, and he didn’t say a word of nonsense, and immediately raised a flag towards the regiment headquarters in the rear, but the reply order from the regiment headquarters gave him a chill.

“What, the fog is too thick, you may accidentally injure your own people, and you can’t provide artillery strikes!” Bram just wanted to scold his mother, what kind of **** reason is this!

The position of the artillery positions is fixed, and the position of their first front line is also fixed. The artillery has a fixed muzzle angle, and how far it can hit at any degree. These are all fixed. With a little calculation, you can avoid their positions , how could it be accidentally injured?

Besides, the artillery units are more than ten kilometers away, and they have no vision of the battlefield. Does the heavy fog affect them?

Quinn’s face was pale, as if thinking of something, he murmured: “Commander, do you still remember the explosion in the rear yesterday? There are rumors that the artillery unit was completely wiped out!”

The emotional Bram froze and completely calmed down, a chill came to his heart.

What if… this isn’t a rumor? Otherwise, how could the artillery unit not be able to provide support!

Quinn put down the binoculars and asked: “Company commander, the enemy is getting closer, think of a way!”

The slow-moving rock puppets have already entered the Ye Lin River and are getting closer to their position. The other companies on the first front have also begun to attack, only their seventh company is still waiting.

Bram was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, “Move the heavy machine gun to the back of the company to stand by, ask the mortar squad to dismantle the bracket of the mortar, walk around the trench with the barrel and shells to attack, and order the rest of the soldiers to meet When you get to the rock golem, curl up in the ditch as soon as possible, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat!”

Quinn was startled, and said incomprehensibly, “Why?”

Bram’s eyes were sharp: “Heavy machine guns and mortars are the only weapons in our Seventh Company that can cause damage to rock puppets. There is absolutely no room for loss. Go!”

Seeing that the rock golem was getting closer, Quinn didn’t dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly ran to execute the order, moving the heavy machine gun and mortar to a relatively safe position.

The company stationed on the first front focused its firepower on the hundreds of rock puppets.

But when the bullet hits the rock golem, it can only knock down some stone chips, and the mortar attack can only break a small part of the stone, which is still not painful to the thick rock golem.

Under the fearful eyes of the soldiers, the rock golem arrived at the first line with heavy steps.

 …

The spiritual power guides the magic power, flows in the magic circuit of the crystal ball, and finally connects to the magic matrix.

Riley, the magic advisor of the Imperial Army, hid in the magic array built by the Wizards Guild, and controlled the rock golem remotely through a crystal ball.

While manipulating the cumbersome rock puppets, and stretching out his hand to crush several fleeing soldiers to death, Riley complained, “This spell circuit is too cumbersome, why not make it simpler?”

Using the hands of the rock puppet to dig the soil, bury a certain trench, and then make up for it, dark red blood immediately overflowed from the soil.

Maz, the head of the mage union, replied angrily: “Our mage union developed this with great difficulty. Reducing part of the magic circuit will only reduce the radiation distance of the base array. It is irresponsible for the lives of our mages!”

The soldiers who were manipulating the heavy machine guns and shooting wildly were squashed together with the heavy machine guns. Flesh and steel mixed together, which looked particularly ferocious.

Riley nodded in agreement: “Forget it, it’s better to be safe. The previous tactics of directly joining the battlefield with mages should be eliminated. It is not easy to train a mage!

In other words, using your magic array to control rock puppets is simply torture. Can you replace them with other elemental puppets? “

The new base formation designed by the Mage Union is cumbersome to operate, and the operation is still quite cumbersome rock puppets.

That feeling is like doing gymnastics in a tortoise shell, it’s so uncomfortable to die!

The rock puppet controlled was knocked back by a mortar shell and fell down. Maz, who was in a bad mood, held the soldier who fired the shell with his hand, and kneaded it into a pulp bit by bit from bottom to top, and then returned to the ground. road:

“Among the four elemental puppets, the rock puppets have the strongest defense and stability, and are not easily destroyed. Although the other elemental puppets are light, have a wide attack range, and strong explosive power, they are all too easy to be broken up, especially in the face of silver puppets. When these alchemy weapons from the Moon Kingdom.”

Arriving at a new position, the rock puppet controlled by Riley was hit by an unknown mortar shell, and a large piece of the rock on his chest fell off.

He didn’t dare to be distracted, looked around, and finally locked on the mortar squad that was escaping with the barrel in the trench, so he controlled the rock puppet to chase slowly.

But the mortar squad running around hiding in the trench is as agile as a few mice, so he can’t catch them at all, and whenever he goes to attack other soldiers, the group of mice will immediately make up for it The shell hits the chest with precision.

Several mortar shells hit him, and there were fewer and fewer rocks in his chest, and the elemental core was almost exposed.

The imperial soldiers following behind the rock puppet wanted to step forward to help, but they were so suppressed by the machine guns behind the position that they dared not approach the mortar squad, so they could only turn their heads to deal with others.

In the end, under the attack of machine guns and artillery shells, the elemental core in the chest was destroyed, and the rock golem turned into a stone and hit the ground heavily.

Maz glanced at the crystal ball that was extinguished, and joked, “Hey, you were actually killed!”

Riley frowned in dissatisfaction: “The alchemy weapon of the Silver Moon Kingdom is really powerful!”

Afterwards, he pushed away the mage next to him, took over another rock puppet, and walked towards the position just now again.

 …

At the position where the Seventh Company was located, the moment the rock puppet fell, the surviving soldiers burst into cheers.

Their battle was really difficult. Once they were attacked by rock puppets, they would basically turn into a lump of flesh. There were even quite a few rock puppets who liked to torture captured soldiers bit by bit. Its cruelty makes people shudder.

They would rather commit suicide by drinking bullets directly than being crushed to death bit by bit.

Bram, who was hiding in the trench, saw another rock puppet approaching their position before he had time to catch his breath, so he quickly shouted: “Be careful, there’s another one coming!”

The rock golem seemed to have heard the shout, so it recognized Bram as the commander, and walked straight towards him.

“Grass!” Bram’s pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly shuttled through the trenches. The soldiers of the Imperial Army who met on the road were directly shot to death with pistols, avoiding the rock puppets in embarrassment.

While chasing Bram, the rock golem also attacked the soldiers of the Seventh Company along the way, but soon, the mortar squad joined Bram, repeated the same trick, and once again kited off the rock golem.

Seeing Riley’s crystal ball dim again, Maz also became interested: “Hey, you seem to have encountered a group of interesting bugs!”

Riley, who was destroyed twice in a row and felt ashamed, avoided the control of a rock again and walked towards the Seventh Company’s position.

“Goddess, isn’t it!” The exhausted Bram ~www.mtlnovel.com~ was lying in the trench panting heavily, he had no strength at all.

Just when he was in despair, the rock puppets that attacked the first line suddenly stopped moving, and then turned into a ball of rubble and fell down.

In the magic array, all the magic circuits dimmed at the same time, and Riley immediately looked at Maz with dissatisfaction. Didn’t this delay his revenge?

Mazi spread his hands helplessly: “The time is up, and I can’t do anything about it. I have to spend another piece of materials and restart the base formation.”

Riley looked at Ivy, the commander of the Imperial Army again, and Ivy asked blankly: “Restart the base formation, will the rock puppet be reborn in its original place, or will it be reborn here?”

Mazi replied truthfully: “Of course it is reborn here. No matter how powerful the new foundation is, it is impossible to cast a fourth-level spell over a distance of more than ten kilometers. It all belongs to the legendary realm!”

Ivey nodded: “Then let’s do this today. Although we have achieved considerable results, the imperial army also suffered heavy casualties. If we take the position and no one is stationed, it is useless!”

Maz looked nonchalant: “As you wish, Your Excellency, Legion Commander, but this time we only brought three copies of the materials for starting the formation, and now we have used up two copies. If we want to add more to the headquarters, the last As soon as possible, road transportation also takes time.”

Ai Wei showed a distressed look: “Let’s have a look tomorrow. If I can’t defeat the front line of the Silver Moon Kingdom, I will ask His Royal Highness the Regent for instructions.”

A material of 20,000 gold coins is too expensive. If only a few copies are used, the empire may be able to bear it, but once it is used more times, the empire will have to reduce its budget elsewhere.

So, let’s wait and see tomorrow’s battle situation before making plans…
