Chapter 154 Bows and arrows are nowhere near as appealing as technology!
Renault looked at Brian in the distance, where the fourth-tier warrior was patting his chest and boasting, spitting as he talked, about how many demons he had killed by pushing a tank that day.
"A Tier 3 warrior can push a Mengshi machine gun vehicle around recklessly."
"A fourth-tier knight can push a tank incredibly fast!"
Reynolds held up one finger, summarizing this great discovery in praise:
"According to Da Xia, the fuel consumed per 100 kilometers is no longer the expensive diesel we need to buy at high prices, but rather a few loaves of bread and a pot of water!"
"This is much more cost-effective than diesel fuel that burns like gold coins!"
Renault's eyes grew brighter and brighter; he seemed to see a brand new, broad road leading to victory.
"Various blessings and shields are placed on tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, with priests and priests sitting inside to operate the driving direction and weapons, and shields and blessings are also added."
"With a high-ranking knight providing support from behind, this is simply a perfect combination!"
"Mounts get hurt and feel pain, but these big guys don't, and they can be enchanted with all sorts of things—it's awesome!"
"An indestructible, tireless mobile fortress!"
Kane nodded repeatedly, his excitement evident on his face, as if he could already picture that wonderful scene.
He immediately said:
"That's right! We must apply to His Majesty to purchase more equipment from the Great Xia!"
"The more the better!"
"Furthermore, we can forgo purchasing fuel and use the entire budget to buy the weapons themselves!"
Renault nodded excitedly.
"Yes, sir!"
Kane slapped him hard on the shoulder.
"That's what we'll do!"
"Renault, draft the report immediately!"
"We will immediately report this great tactical innovation to His Holiness the Pope!"
......
The Holy Humans achieved good results in their battle, and the Elves fared equally well.
At the same moment, the Elven counterattack began with the same overwhelming force.
Outside the city of Lostia, the vast plains were stained with demonic energy and left desolate.
On the black earth, the demon army spread out like a tide, stretching as far as the eye could see.
A resounding horn blast pierced the sky, and the elven army surged forth from the city gates and forests, their disciplined ranks and imposing presence awe-inspiring.
At the very front of the army was a thick shield wall composed of earth-elemental friendly elven warriors.
The tower shields in their hands shimmered with an earthy yellow magical light, and the shields fit together seamlessly, forming an impregnable mobile barrier.
Behind the shield wall stood a dense array of elven archers, their bows drawn and ready to fire, their arrows imbued with various magical auras.
Interspersed among the archers were dozens of towering tree-men, partners bound by contracts with wood-elemental spirits, guardians of the forest, and living fortresses on the battlefield.
Further back, the elven mage corps had already begun chanting, and the magical elements in the air began to stir and converge, preparing for a devastating area-of-effect spell.
This is a classic battle formation used by the Elven race for thousands of years. It is stable and powerful, relying on shield walls, ranged attacks and magical support to advance layer by layer. It is the cornerstone of countless victories against the demonic invasion.
However, today, a completely different force has appeared on the flank of this classic battle formation.
Five thousand elite Silvermoon Guards did not carry longbows, but instead wore light armor, carried long black metal slings on their backs, and had rows of neat "metal boxes" hanging from their waists.
This is the "Technology Legion" personally trained by General Adrian.
"All troops, advance!"
At Adrian's command, the shield wall began to advance as a whole, its steps steady and powerful.
The demon army roared in chaos, and countless inferior demons and vicious dogs surged forward like a black tide.
"Archers, launch!"
"Mage group, attack freely!"
The order was given, and a hail of arrows rained down on the demon vanguard with a shrill whistle.
Fire, frost, wind blades... all kinds of magic exploded in the demon formation, instantly clearing a large area.
However, the number of demons was simply too great. The following demons trampled over the corpses of their comrades and continued their charge fearlessly, quickly approaching the elven defenses.
Just then, Adrian on the flank raised his arm and swung it down suddenly.
"Technology Legion, attack!"
"Da da da da da—!!!"
A series of ear-piercing, continuous metallic clanging suddenly erupted, drowning out all the noise on the battlefield.
Five thousand elven warriors pulled the triggers simultaneously.
The magic within them flowed spontaneously, surging down their arms and into the assault rifles in their hands.
This is an innate talent of elves; they can easily imbue any weapon they come into contact with with simple magical effects.
In an instant, the gun muzzle no longer spat out simple tongues of fire, but instead a colorful barrage of death.
A young elven warrior, formerly one of the tribe’s best archers, could fire an arrow every three seconds without missing.
At that moment, he was holding an assault rifle, his finger lightly gripping the trigger.
"Da da da!"
Three bursts of fire, three bullets imbued with "Sharpness" instantly left the barrel and precisely pierced the heads of the three vicious dogs charging at the front.
Dark green blood burst out, and the three-headed hound rolled to the ground without uttering a sound.
The whole process takes less than a second.
He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes blazed with wild joy.
"By the goddess! This... what power this is!"
Archery requires nocking an arrow, drawing the bow, aiming, and firing. Even the most skilled archer needs time to complete this process.
But this weapon called a "gun" only requires you to aim at the target and then pull the trigger!
Moreover, every bullet can benefit from the enchantment bonus!
The power of a bow and arrow largely depends on its enchantments.
But now, he can fire ten enchanted "bullets" in a second!
This means that his killing efficiency has increased dozens of times out of thin air!
This isn't just crushing the opponent; it's a dimensional attack!
The other elf beside him was skilled in ice magic.
The bullets he fired left icy blue trails, and a third-tier Corruptor, just as it was about to spew acid, was hit in the chest by several bullets.
The moment the bullet exploded, extreme frost spread rapidly from the wound, freezing half of its body into an ice sculpture, which was then easily shattered by subsequent bullets.
"Aim at their joints! Use Frost Blast!" the elf shouted excitedly.
"Leave the liches behind to me!" An elf proficient in wood magic knelt on the ground, the butt of his gun firmly against his shoulder, locking onto a demonic lich chanting in the distance through the scope.
The bullets he fired were an eerie dark green, and they pierced into the lich's body.
The lich's body suddenly stiffened, and countless vines seemed to writhe beneath its skin. In the blink of an eye, its life force was drained, turning it into a dried-up corpse.
"boom!!"
Not far away, a squad leader from the technology legion carried a large metal cylinder and aimed it at a group of third-tier heavy armored demon soldiers who were gathered together and trying to break through the shield wall.
The rocket, trailing a plume of flame, roared out and struck the horde of demonic soldiers with pinpoint accuracy.
