I Don’t Need a Guillotine for My Revolution - Chapter 226
Episode 226 Abyss Crusade – Continent Wall (2)
Piiiiing –
Piiii –
A roaring noise that had been bothering us terribly in the fog.
There is no one standing there stupidly guarding the line even though a rocket is flying right in front of them.
If we couldn’t maintain morale enough to not have to enforce such stupid rules and have the flexibility to respond to changing circumstances, we wouldn’t be here in the first place.
“Get down!”
“Prepare for impact!”
In a short amount of time, they quickly hide in the trench lines that were constructed in their own way, and those deployed in places other than such spaces quickly fall to the ground.
Soon the rockets rained down and attacked the camp, exploding in all directions and scattering sparks.
Piiiiing-
“Gasp!”
A rocket flew towards the command center –
I ran straight ahead and blocked it with a magical barrier.
The barrier shakes and sparks fly, but it does not break.
There is a feeling that the magic power is decreasing, but there is still a long way to go before it is exhausted.
Honestly, this is a bit surprising to me.
At this point, haven’t I become closer to becoming a Blue Knight?
No, this is not the time.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Thank you, Your Excellency the Marquis de Lafayette!”
Damien…
common sense tells you, isn’t this something you should do, not me, the commander-in-chief? It’s extremely frozen.
“Thank you, Your Excellency the Marquis!”
Giselle Darby is also safe. Now that I think about it, Giselle Darby is the quickest at calculating things, right?
“Colonel Darby, go and support counter-fire! “I leave it to you to estimate the location of the enemy rocket battery!”
“ancient! “I obey your orders!”
No sooner had Giselle Darby rushed out than moans and screams began to erupt from outside.
“Aaaah!”
“Hot, hot!”
“The cavalry will not be deployed right away! “Send a messenger to Sir Gaston and tell him that the Holy Knights should focus on treating the troops!”
“I understand, Your Excellency the Marquis!”
I quickly scanned the camp with my eyes.
Although the rockets exploded from all directions and caused a lot of damage, it was not a fatal blow as it did not hit the person completely defenseless and there were cover and trenches installed in advance.
I immediately gathered all my magical energy and shouted.
“The attacks keep coming! Take cover in advance! “Prepare artillery fire in response!”
As soon as my shout resonates throughout the camp, answers that are far from orderly come from all directions and everyone starts to move around busily.
“All right!”
“As instructed by His Excellency the Marquis!”
“Wake up, you idiots! How long are you going to keep dragging your feet! “Are you going to come to your senses only when you go to the grave?”
“Oh no!”
Okay, it’s shit, but morale isn’t bad.
Piiiiing-
Piiii-
“The second wave is coming!”
“obscuration!”
The response to the second wave is much better at a glance.
Most soldiers were properly prepared, whether they were hiding in cover, in a trench, or lying down, and even if the rocket’s flames were scattered, there was no significant damage.
Still, there are screams and there are casualties, but we are not just being hit defenselessly!
“What are the preparations for a counter bombardment?”
“It’s ready, Your Excellency the Marquis!”
“Don’t stop and fire! “It’s a short-term all-out war, so there’s no need to save ammunition!”
“ancient!”
The location of the rocket cannon was only guessed based on the experience of being attacked so far and the range of the enemy rocket cannon, and visibility was not secured at all due to the fog, so a precise strike was close to impossible.
However, there will be a lot of enemy troops for a general offensive anyway.
If you shoot casually, there will definitely be times when you get caught, but even if you don’t, just don’t let them shoot freely!
“launch!”
“Start shelling!”
With an earth-shaking sound, cannonballs fired from the highlands on the hill flew mercilessly over our heads.
Not only the spherical bullets fired by direct fire guns, but also the explosive bullets fired by howitzers make a loud noise and fly slowly, causing explosions in the fog.
The fog caught up in the explosion slowly dispersed and visibility was temporarily cleared –
“Gasp!”
“What is that!”
We all clearly saw a swarm of drones filling the fog that had briefly been dispersed by the explosion.
A swarm of terrifying drones, countless in number.
The sight was so shocking that I cried out before my subordinates could think any further.
“Everyone, come to your senses! Didn’t you know everything was going to happen like this? “It’s a fight between them and us!”
If this momentary disturbance spreads, the confusion will last only for a moment.
“There is no place to retreat anyway! Remember, your life is not yours alone! Entrust your lives to me and focus only on the enemy in front of you! I will take responsibility and lead you to victory! Did you understand?”
“Oh, I understand!”
As soon as the soldiers started shouting, I turned my head towards the artillery unit and gave an order.
“under. I said you don’t have to worry about shells, right? “Pour it like crazy!”
“I understand, Your Excellency the Marquis! All batteries continue firing! No need to wait for instructions! Continuous fire from each reloadable battery! “I do the observation and adjustment instructions!”
“ancient!”
Under Giselle Darby’s orders, the artillery continued to fire without stopping –
“Light infantry forward! Overwhelm the steamship!”
“All right!”
The light infantry, under orders from Damien de Mirbeau, moves ahead to fire at the incoming drones.
“To the position of the line infantry! Use trench lines and cover to block the enemy! Never back down! “I will personally shoot the person who cheats on me!”
Nicola Nega works hard to deploy the line infantry on the defensive line, and in other Allied camps in all directions, soldiers under orders from commanders move in perfect order.
It cannot be shaken by rocket bombing. This is enough!
“Beware of enemy machine guns! No matter what happens, we must destroy it before it reaches the line infantry!”
“As ordered!”
The only ones rushing at you right away are the drones, and you can’t see any machine guns yet, but it wouldn’t be surprising if you rushed at a swarm of drones to draw their attention, and then sneaked in between or behind them and fired at any time.
Shooting enemies who are mixed up with allies would be crazy for a normal army, but their main soldiers are drones.
The enemy, who has no emotions, morale, or fatigue, is not swayed by mistakes made by our allies, and they have already had a record of defeating drones and Holy Knights in patrol warfare.
The light infantry who took the lead fired sequentially to reduce the number of enemies at the front, and the shells from direct fire guns and explosive shells from howitzers dealt with the enemies in the middle row without stopping.
Piiiiing-
“The rocket is coming!”
“Prepare for impact!”
Meanwhile, rockets occasionally fly in and attack the friendly camp.
So far, everyone has been hiding in trenches or cover to reduce damage, but once full-scale combat begins, that will become difficult.
I turned my gaze and looked at the wave of drones that were now completely out of the fog and threatening to fill the horizon.
The enemies will fire regardless of whether our allies are fighting or not, so it will inevitably end in a war of attrition.
But that’s something to be prepared for.
All the mages need is at most 23 days.
If you can hold on to that, somehow the door will be completed.
“Enemy approaching!”
“The enemy’s means of attack will not be much different from before! “React calmly!”
After the light infantry takes turns firing sequentially, they turn back and run –
“Howitzers cover the retreat of the light infantry!” “Beware of misfires!”
“The direct-firing artillery deployed to the front is ready to fire pellets!”
“ancient!”
As soon as I saw the artillery moving busily and the light infantry sneaking between the trench lines and cover, I immediately shouted.
“Yes general!”
“Line infantry forward! “Get in line!”
The line infantry, who had been hiding in cover and trenches, were just gathering and forming ranks to fight the drones when the bad news came.
“The rocket is coming!”
Damn timing!
“Get down!”
“damage!”
“Aaaah!”
While the front-line infantrymen hurriedly hid in the trenches they had rushed out of or lay down on the spot to protect their heads, the rocket flying above their heads exploded and sparks scattered –
“Ahh! “Aaaah!”
A tragic scene unfolded where something that was originally attached to the human body flew away from the unlucky direct hit.
“Don’t panic! Prepare your generals! “I don’t have time!”
“Yes old! “Rearrange the ranks of all units!”
“Rearrange your ranks!”
The line infantrymen, who had somehow managed to organize their ranks, stepped forward, ignoring their comrades who were struggling in pain on the floor or struggling on fire.
And in the meantime, the drones approached the distance where the bizarre and terrible shape could be clearly seen with the naked eye.
100m.
“Aim for the first row!”
The sound of a long battle line consisting of the Revolutionary Army, Germanian Empire Army, and Krafte Kingdom Army firing their muskets in unison echoes through the camp.
“Wait, wait!”
90m.
“Remember! The weak point is the head! “Don’t waste ammunition!”
80m.
“Fire the first line!”
Amid the wave of gunfire, which is enough to cover the entire camp, acrid smoke characteristic of black gunpowder rises, and drones proportionally fall down.
Nevertheless, the drones race without stopping, quickly narrowing the distance –
“Sit in the first row!” Aiming at the second and third rows simultaneously!”
The first row quickly lowers their posture, the second row sits down, and the third row aims their guns, taking a simultaneous shooting stance similar to Krafte’s.
Now 60m.
“launch!”
With the gunfire that erupted all at once, so many drones fell that they could not be compared to before.
“All line infantry bow down!”
40m.
As soon as everyone in the second and third rows sat down after firing, the light infantry, who had already retreated and finished reloading, aimed their guns all at once and fired.
Push!
At this distance, the sound of a bullet entering a vulnerable head and ending the life of a soulless body is clearly ringing in the ears.
“Forwards the bayonets! “Prepare for shock!”
Now drones are right in front of your eyes.
“Don’t back down! “You are the front line of humanity and the defense of the continent!”
Nicola, it’s scary for you to pull out your sword and shout.
“Aaaah!”
“Woo wow!”
Drones attacked the battle lines and screams and shouts began to erupt.
Even though they were lined up in three rows to prepare for shock, there were too many drones to intercept them with just the thin and wide ranks of the line infantry.
In an instant, the ranks are disrupted, and puppets who know neither emotion nor fatigue fall into the gap without fail.
“Crocs!”
“I know, brother!”
And soon.
A thumping sound, almost cavalry-like, that cannot be made by human footsteps, resounds on the ground –
“Al-ardho!”
“Akbar!”
The Orcs who ran from behind with a fierce force struck the drones that were trying to enter the battle line with overwhelming mass and force, sending them flying high into the sky, and began to fight in a tangled battle.
“Avenge my brothers!”
“For Iberica!”
Indeed, among the orcs, the warriors Crocs chose.
Even with elite line infantry, they are not easily defeated by drones, which are difficult to deal with.
But that doesn’t mean there’s any time to just stare blankly.
“What is the artillery unit doing? Keep shooting! Enemies will shoot whether we are in close combat or not! “The howitzer battery reduces the drones even a little bit!”
“Yes old! “Start shelling!”
From the front, the dull noise of shouts and screams as bayonets dig into the fabric and drones’ fists strike.
The sound of fire and shells pouring down non-stop behind my back.
And through the fog, the roar of rockets continuing to fly towards our camp.
Amidst the noise and fire, I was watching the enemy forces emanating from the fog.
This is just the beginning.
This probably isn’t all.
Paimon A damn devil who calls himself an engineer and commander.
Sending in hordes of drones and bombing them with rockets isn’t the only thing that can be done after boasting so confidently.
The battlefield is a hill facing the coast.
It is a fortified defense line with limited access roads and a battlefield of head-on combat where bypasses and surprise attacks are difficult.
Now take a look.
I will crush those empty puppets created by your greed as well as your arrogance and technological prowess that boasts of sure victory, and I will definitely achieve victory.
