Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 552 Seizing the Priesthood 5
Another wave of enemy attacks was repulsed.

The leftovers from the battlefield were scattered all over the ground, but there was no smell of blood.In fact, these corpses are weathering, turning into fine particles, and eventually disappearing into the air as a plume of smoke.

Their armor isn't immune to heavy machine gun bullets - but you can't expect much in that regard.Because of things like heavy machine guns, even ordinary bulletproof equipment on earth can't stop them.In fact, just coming back from the dead and being able to learn enough lessons from the last death is troublesome enough!During the first attack, these holy spirits formed a formation and advanced slowly, and were easily wiped out by the crossfire of heavy machine guns like straw.But now, they have learned to bend over and run fast.

There are only very few holy spirits left on the battlefield, and it is only a matter of time before they fail in the final fight with the undead army.

Yiji breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the machine gun whose muzzle was already red.His supporting firepower is not needed for the time being.

Normally a machine gun team needs two to three people, but here they are in a team of one.

According to the experience of previous battles, they will have a rest time on the battlefield ranging from 5 minutes to 15 minutes, which can be used to recover their tired body and mind.

This fatigue is not the fatigue caused by exercise—they are wearing exoskeleton armor, which contains an advanced artificial muscle system, which can greatly reduce the burden on human strength—but the fatigue caused by killing.

Kazuki opened the exoskeleton armor and walked out from inside.A hand behind him passed a cigarette, and Kazuki looked back, and it was Thomas who he saw.He didn't refuse, took the cigarette silently, took out the lighter from his pocket, and lit it for Thomas first.

Their employers are generous in this regard, cigarettes, drinks, etc., as much as they want.Of course, weapons and equipment are more generous.However, the facts proved that the initial judgment was correct, and the heavy machine gun was the best weapon for this war.

"How does it feel?" Thomas asked.

"Well, I now know what it was like for Hans Cat's soldiers at the Battle of the Somme in World War I. They killed 10 people a day in that battle."

"One hundred thousand? Shouldn't it be sixty thousand?" Thomas asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter if it's tens of thousands, one hundred thousand, sixty thousand or eighty thousand," Yiji took a puff of cigarette viciously. "It is said that some of Hans Cat's soldiers refused to shoot when they hit the rear. Because that was not a battle, it was a massacre."

"Not now!" said Thomas. "They have learned the skirmish formation without a teacher. Just now, a group over there performed very well, even if the regular army of the United States could not do it better...Our only luck is that they do not have long-range Suppress fire."

If there is long-range suppression firepower, they will not be able to survive this wave.

Yiji's eyes were a little blurred as he looked at the White Bone Fortress in the rear—the corpses of undead creatures who had been killed were transported to that fortress from the front line, and then, at least some of them staggered back to his own on the front.Around the Bone Fortress, strong negative energy condensed into a red light, making people feel that something is wrong all over the body from a long distance away.

Don't look at the holy spirits who are as fragile as white flowers in the wind under the bullets of the machine gun, but they are still very hard in the face of undead creatures.Basically, they can easily cause two or three times the casualties. If it is a team that cooperates tacitly with each other, they can even have an exchange ratio of more than one to five.However, considering that both of them seem to be able to be resurrected infinitely, no one cares about their casualties and battle results.

"However, it seems that they really don't need long-range firepower." Thomas said, pointing to a little distance.

Over there, lightning flashed everywhere, and a powerful holy spirit rushed into the battle formation of undead creatures.

Specifically, he had already broken through the battle formation, and in an instant he had broken through the defense of the undead creatures, rushing towards the other side.

Over there are the machine gun positions of the second base and the third base.

The four earthlings including Yiji are divided into four machine gun positions on the left and right. The task is to use heavy machine guns to provide fire support and kill and injure the enemy in large numbers.So it became the target of those powerful enemies.

The guy rushing over was wrapped in thunder and lightning, and looked familiar. In fact, this was not the first time it broke through the front line.

Last time, he was torn to pieces by the crossfire formed by four machine guns.Last time, although he avoided crossfire and wanted to attack the undead commander, he was surrounded by a group of powerful undead creatures.But this time, it really broke through the enemy's formation again, and it seemed that it wanted to kill the two bases and the three bases, at least destroy their fire positions.

But now Thomas and Yiji have been able to face all this with a relatively calm attitude.

Well, in addition to machine guns, four people also have electromagnetic guns, missiles and rocket launchers-this is the benefit of exoskeleton armor, and it is easy to use anything.But it's not just that.

That lizard man did not know when he appeared in front of that lightning creature.

For a long time, the lizardmen were in the rear, armed with nothing but a long sword in their hands, and looked completely inconspicuous.However, when their eyes were facing each other, the four mercenaries could all sense the frightening coldness in the depths of each other's eyes.

Now, it turns out that they were not mistaken.Because at this moment, he faced this thunderous creature without fear. The speed of the latter was as fast as a Ferrari sports car, but it was still not as fast as the lizard man's sword swing.

With a swing of the sword, the holy spirit covered in thunder instantly split into two halves.The front line of undead creatures that was broken through made up the gap again, and the fallen undead creatures were taken to the White Bone Fortress behind by some spider-like guys—they would wake up soon, with even more broken bodies, stepping forward. Returning to his queue with staggering steps.

This wave of attacks is over.

But the next wave is about to begin -- and Thomas can see it clearly.The gap between the two waves of offensive is about ten to 15 minutes. If there is a time period, the troops will be slightly less, and if the time is sufficient, the troops will be more.On average, each wave of the enemy has about 1 troops, and they have launched six attacks so far.

In just over an hour, they had already killed [-] enemies, and the battle here was twenty times more intense than the Battle of the Somme!
The ability to kill with such high efficiency, of course, is firstly due to the killing tools made by the earth - heavy machine guns, and secondly due to the enemy's apparent lack of necessary preparations for high-tech civilizations to participate in the war.In fact, in the first wave of offensive, there was almost no close combat between the two sides.But in the sixth wave just now, some of their troops caused considerable casualties to the undead army in front.

Not only can these guys come back to life, but they quickly learn the necessary lessons from previous deaths.

This rest period is very short.

"They're coming!" Thomas looked towards the end, and the Holy Spirit had already appeared on the horizon.These holy spirits arranged in a relatively neat formation, and then stopped at the end of the effective range of the heavy machine gun.Or stop at the end of the field of vision.

"These guys... have been able to correctly judge the effective range of the machine gun. It's a pity that they didn't estimate enough." Thomas said, looking at the enemy's battle formation in the distance.

"Throwing shot!" Yiji immediately understood.

Point the gun at 45 degrees to the sky and shoot, and you can attack beyond the visual range.This is the shooting tactic that appeared on Earth during World War I.There are not many doing this in modern times, but this time they have to face opponents in the cold weapon era.

Before they even started, the gunshots from the other side sounded like scrambled beans.It seems that Erji and Sanji thought of this method one step ahead.

The bullets are shot out in the air and will fall on the enemy's head, causing terrible damage.

They originally thought that the enemy's formation would be obviously confused immediately, but it turned out that it was not as simple as expected.

The continuous volley of machine guns did not appear to have done any damage.

Thomas and Yiji exchanged puzzled glances, one person jumped into his own exoskeleton armor, and activated the optical sensing device attached to the exoskeleton armor to check the situation there.The other one picked up a new type of telescope on the spot and observed it on the spot.

The killing effect of these bullets can be clearly seen in the telescope: but when the bullets fall from the sky and hit, you can see that the space at the hit position will be distorted, like ripples, or hot air.It was an invisible wall, and then the bullet used up its kinetic energy on this wall, and finally fell to the ground as a harmless metal pellet.

"No way..." Thomas murmured.

This is the battlefield of the gods, a different world space that they know very little about.At the beginning, I thought that the modern weapons of the earth were very effective, but now it seems... In fact, that is the case.In the beginning, such a good effect was entirely due to the unfamiliarity of the other party.

"Hey, how do you fight this?" Yiji asked in the mechanical armor.

The enemy's phalanx over there began to advance slowly.Obviously they have confirmed that the bullets will not take effect, and resume this formation.

They also know very well that the formation of skirmishers cannot break through the undead creatures in front of them, after all, they can also be resurrected infinitely.

"Try it with other weapons!"

The employer left them with a lot of weapons, including guns, missiles, and ammunition.At any rate, it was the loot obtained from looting a Maple Leaf country military base.

To be a mercenary, the most basic ability is to be proficient in operating a variety of weapons and equipment.A person who only knows how to use a gun cannot be a mercenary.

An individual missile drew a trajectory in the air and hit a distant formation.When the smoke from the explosion dissipated and looked at the past again, a big gap had been dug in the enemy's battle formation.It is estimated that at least dozens of enemies will be wiped out with this shot!

But the enemies in the rear immediately filled the gap.

The other side also opened fire, not with missiles, but with electromagnetic rifles.The lethality of this weapon is not as simple as a heavy machine gun bullet.

Sure enough, the machine gun could be blocked there, but the electromagnetic gun could not be blocked.In the relatively dense phalanx of cold weapons, electromagnetic rifles produced terrible damage.It is estimated that it penetrated at least ten people.A gap was opened in front of the entire array.

The phalanx continued to advance slowly and unwaveringly.

"The power of all long-range weapons has been greatly reduced." Thomas said. "Same goes for explosions!"

The power of the missile is actually very powerful. In the case of a normal explosion, not to mention people, even vehicles can be lifted up, and ordinary fortresses can also be penetrated.But this time there was no such situation in the enemy's line.

Their weapons kept firing, and a missile was fired in a few tens of seconds.In addition, the electromagnetic rifle did not stop at all.

The phalanx slowly approached.Judging from the speed, it will take about ten minutes to arrive here, maybe 10 minutes!Because they seem to be moving slowly, but in fact the speed is not slow, almost as good as ordinary people running.

The only problem is... Unlike heavy machine guns that spray dozens of bullets per second (each bullet can hit multiple enemies), both missiles and electromagnetic rifles have a limited rate of fire.

Of course, on Earth, this is definitely enough.No normal army could sustain such casualties.Before they even get into an engagement, their morale will be completely shattered.

But this time the face is an enemy that can be resurrected.And after all, it was a phalanx of ten thousand people. The so-called people are boundless at once, and the loss of dozens or hundreds of people doesn't seem to have any impact on them.

To make matters worse, and while approaching, revived enemies would replenish from the rear, keeping their formation intact.

"Damn! Their defenses are still increasing!" Thomas realized that something was really wrong.

Their firepower is getting weaker and weaker.Now the lethality of missiles is like grenades, and the lethality of electromagnetic rifles is like sniper rifles-it's not that grenades and sniper rifles can't kill people, but the lethality is significantly weakened.

"The situation is better than expected, everyone, please fight hard!" A voice suddenly sounded.All four of them noticed something, and when they turned their heads, the sound came from the pavilion named "Basic Point" behind them.

"It turned out that the bear was giving orders... Where is our employer? It seems to have run away?" Thomas said softly.

"Well, the order he gave us was to stay here for three hours." Yiji replied. "I thought it was a very simple task at first. Now it seems redundant..."

The enemy's phalanx continued to approach.That's almost the speed of ordinary people running.The enemies who couldn't see the side at a glance, just ignored the casualties, and rushed towards this side like an unstoppable tide.

"There are still two hours... Can you persist to the end?" Thomas asked.

"If you can't persist to the end... there seems to be no place to escape here, right?" Kazuki replied. "Ma Dan, the subsidy of hundreds of thousands of dollars is really not easy to get. I must remember this lesson next time... if there is a next time!"

"Hey, can you tell me what is better than expected?" Thomas shouted towards the rear.

"They spent a lot of energy defending your weapons." Although Thomas didn't expect an answer, it was actually answered immediately. "This reduces the strength of close combat. More importantly... it seems that there are no particularly strong enemies."
