Chapter 678: Air Bombing(1/2)
The army of dark elves who had evacuated the camp overnight seemed a little embarrassed and simply retreated directly to the city they occupied in the rear.
By the time they arrived in the city area, it was already a morning a few days later. It was just dawn and the sky in the distance turned pale.
Vegeta, who had not been able to sleep peacefully for several days, had bloodshot eyes, but his anxiety made him sleepless.
During that battle, the injured and undead dark elves soldiers developed various adverse symptoms in the next few days. Considering the possibility that the adverse symptoms might be spread, Vegeta directly drew a quarantine area overnight and pulled up a blockade line, temporarily placing all the wounded soldiers in the quarantine area.
At this time, on the bed in the isolation area, a large area of burns appeared on the body of dark elves soldiers, which looked shocking.
A burst of unsuppressed wailing sounds continued to pour into everyone's ears, further destroying his will.
On the hospital bed next door, a dark elf soldier with a serious injury and ugly face suddenly coughed violently, as if he was about to carve his lungs out.
Afterwards, a large mouthful of blood was coughing out from his mouth, and its face turned very pale.
Seeing this, a group of medical soldiers and dark elf mages who were following the army quickly ran over and began to rescue the dark elf soldier.
Because of the population, the Elf clan attaches great importance to every soldier in its clan, and the Dark Elf is naturally no exception.
Therefore, they naturally have to do their best to treat these wounded soldiers.
Facing the injured soldier who had worsened his injuries, ordinary treatment methods were obviously useless, and the dark elf mage began to chant spells.
This is the spell and blood therapy unique to the Dark Elves!
Accompanied by the chanting of spells, a spell light surged, and soon wrapped the dark elf soldier.
As time passed little by little, the dark elf soldier bathed in the light of the spell also improved a lot, and his face, which was originally twisted by pain, had also soothed.
Although the blood therapy technique of the Dark Elf clan is much worse than the serious healing spells of the Wood Elf clan, it is undeniable that blood therapy is useful for the adverse symptoms of the Dark Elf soldiers.
Vegeta, who received the report, breathed a little relieved, but his face still didn't look very good.
If the symptoms can only be cured by magic, then the consumption of the dark elves mages in his army will probably become quite large.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned his head to look at his adjutant and asked, "How many magic crystals are left we bring this time?"
"Report to the general, according to the latest statistics, there are still 2,997."
Hearing this, Vegeta nodded and said, "Distribute those magic crystals to help the mages speed up the recovery of their mana."
"yes!"
Although there are nearly 3,000 magic crystals that seem to be quite large, you should know that among their dark elves army, it is not only the dark elves mage who needs to consume magic crystals.
Take those magical crossbows as examples, they also require magic crystals as energy weapons.
The magic crystal that is less than three thousand yuan is actually not enough.
Among the entire elves, the physical fitness of the dark elves is much stronger than that of other elves. At the same time, unlike other elves branches, because the living environment of the dark elves is relatively harsh, their physical resistance is also not low.
Among them, the toxic resistance is quite considerable.
After all, there are poisons like Hydra that survive with them.
This time, the dark elf soldiers had adverse symptoms, which were caused by the toxicity of the white phosphorus bomb.
Generally, dark elf soldiers with shallow poisoning basically only need to cooperate with the medical soldiers to carry out some detoxification measures to recover. And those black soldiers with severe poisoning conditions
Dark Elf soldiers need to be assisted by the Dark Elf Mage's blood therapy.
In any case, Vegeta was greatly relieved without relying on the results of blood therapy.
Otherwise, according to the number of people, his mage troops might have to consume a lot of magic crystals to cure all the soldiers.
If that is the case, the cost would be too high.
It takes time for the soldiers under his command to recover, and it also takes time to wait for reinforcements.
In this way, in the next period of time, the army of dark elves, which had been fierce in offensive and strong in playing, became much more low-key.
But Jacob Alfonso obviously had no intention of making them safe. As soon as the army of dark elves retreated, he issued an order to advance.
Before, they successfully repelled the enemy, and the powerful army was in a strong position to face the edge. Looking at the city in front of them, they had no scruples and directly used white phosphorus bombs to launch round after round of bombing.
Anyway, long before, their people had all moved to the rear, and there were only enemies in that city.
However, in urban areas, there are too many bunkers. Once those guys dodge into various buildings, the threat posed by white phosphorus bombs to them will be greatly reduced.
In response, Jacob Alfonso, who arrived directly on the front line and personally commanded the battle in the rear through radio communication equipment, directly issued an order to throw napalm bombs.
White phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs are actually both types of incendiary bombs, but the attack forms are different, so they are suitable for different situations.
With his orders, five airships in size in about thirty or forty meters appeared in the sky.
This is also the result of Jacob Alfonso's explosive technology in recent years.
However, his airship is quite primary in all aspects. After all, unlike the field of thermal weapons with many years of research experience, flight vehicles are a brand new field, so the difficulty of research and development is far more difficult than imagined.
It is already very difficult to achieve results now.
The airship filled with aviation bombs slowly flew towards the city, but it looked a little overwhelmed. Obviously, its maneuver power was obviously insufficient.
However, this is not actually the biggest flaw of airships.
The biggest flaw of the five airships that Jacob Alfonso made temporary work is that their maximum flight time can last less than twenty-four hours, and their flight altitude is limited.
This forced Jacob Alfonso to set up multiple supply stations on the flight route of the airships so that these airships can land in time and carry out supply and maintenance.
This also greatly reduces the operational efficiency of airships, and is also extremely poor in concealment.
This time, this trump card was opened for temporary work. Jacob Alfonso obviously wanted to severely damage the Dark Elves before Hydra arrived!
For this reason, he was even mentally prepared to scrap a city.
Considering the subsequent battle, this is also a necessary loss.
Five slow airships slowly flew over the city. At this moment, a large number of harps flying out of the city.
Vegeta, who did not intend to sit and wait for death, did not intend to let the five human flight vehicles fly over his head.
Before this, he will shoot down the five airships!
Accompanied by a series of harp screams, a large number of harps quickly approached. Jacob Alfonso, who had already considered this situation, also equipped a small team of infantry in the pod of the airship, specifically used to shoot and kill the approaching harps.
However, there are too many harps, while the number of infantry inside the airship pod is limited.
The harps quickly approached with the bullets flying over, screaming, and waved the eagle claws on their legs and grabbed the airbags of the airship in the air.
Jacob Alfonso uses quite tough materials for the surface of the airbag, but the harp's eagle claws are not vegetarian either.
The moment it passed through the surface of the airbag, the airbag of the airship in the air was torn apart in an instant, and a large amount of gas leaked out from the gap.
This attack undoubtedly had an impact on the airships in flight to a certain extent.
The pod below sways violently, and it seems that it is even going to lose balance. Fortunately, the inflation of the airbag is continuous and the gas will be continuously replenished.
Although the opening on the airbag will increase the burden on the airship and will also make the airship less stable during flight, if you think you want him to crash like this, you will think a little too much.
His airship is not so fragile yet.
Behind the battlefield, Jacob Alfonso looked at the five airships flying tremblingly in the air through a telescope, and couldn't help but feel worried about it.
The current situation depends on whether the attack on the opposite harp is stronger or the quality of his airship is strong enough.
I saw that the five airships in the sky slowly flew over the city in the face of the crazy attacks of the harps.
As the bomb dropping chamber at the bottom of the pod opened, napalm bombs were thrown down.
As the explosion roared, the surging fires swept wildly with the rolling smoke.
In just a few breaths, the area that was bombed had turned into a sea of burning fire...z.br
The rolling smoke kept permeating the city. At this time, the richness of the smoke and dust was already so rich that it was enough to suffocate.
And in such a terrifying sea of fire, accompanied by a spell light suddenly lit up, a dark elf mage scattered everywhere, maintaining the shield, and rushing out of the sea of fire with a large number of dark elf soldiers in the city.
Although this outer protective cover can isolate the direct damage of flames and explosions, it cannot isolate the temperature.
The terrifying high temperature outside directly turned their shields into ovens, and if they stayed here, they were afraid that they would really become the barbecue in the oven and be baked directly to death by the high temperature.
He did not dare to relax for a moment, and the dark elf soldiers who were sweating profusely gritted their teeth and protected the dark elf mage who supported the shield and fled out of the sea of fire.
During this period, the airship that completed the bomb drop mission in the sky spontaneously ignited and crashed under the continuous attacks of the harpies.
Jacob Alfonso, who was located in the rear, was in great pain when he saw this scene.
Unexpectedly, the airship he had finally made turned into a disposable consumable.
The only thing that could comfort him was that the five airships had completed the bombing mission.
He let the fire burn for a while, and after the fire was slightly controlled, he ordered his army to put out the fire and enter the city area to search and encircle.
During the entire search, they found nearly 400 corpses burned into coke.
The corpses were burned out of recognition under the terrifying high temperature of napalm bombs, and even some of the morphological characteristics were burned away.
From a distance, it looks like a black charcoal.
However, this casualty number is far smaller than Jacob Alfonso expected.
However, considering the strength of the dark elves, these more than 400 dark elves soldiers are probably comparable to the strength of two or three thousand humans.
Of course, an algorithm like this is his rough estimate. If you want to perform detailed calculations, you must first confirm the opponent's troops.
To be continued...
