Chapter 855: Chapter 837 Magic Antelope Devil
There was no doubt that the warships possessed formidable ground suppression capabilities. Even though they weren’t the most advanced Rune Battleships, the fleet under Cyril’s command still managed to annihilate the first wave of Demons rushing forward with overwhelming firepower.
However, before anyone could celebrate, a faint roar echoed through the air. The trembling of the ground not only failed to subside but grew even more intense. When they looked into the distance, even more Demons appeared.
The Demons rushing toward Qingyuan City earlier might have seed nurous, but in reality, they were far from the entirety of the Demon force—at most, a few thousand, barely qualifying as the vanguard. But the Demons charging forward now were an entirely different matter. This ti, the main force was finally making its move.
Tens of thousands of Demons charged forth like a limitless pack of wild horses, their chaotic charge devoid of any formal formation. Yet, their overwhelming numbers made their montum terrifyingly explosive. The sheer force of this stampede was enough to chill one to the core.
Faced with this situation, the fleet in the skies imdiately resud bombardnt. The scene that had just unfolded repeated itself: incessant cannon fire and a continuous barrage of explosions blanketed the defending forces’ front lines in thick smoke. But unlike the previous encounter, this ti, before the smoke could clear, Demons had already rushed through.
The Demons’ nurical advantage manifested fully at this mont.
Though the fleet in the skies possessed imnse firepower, the sheer overwhelming numbers of Demons proved too much. Even with the fleet conducting saturation bombardnt from start to finish, so stragglers inevitably slipped through the cracks. Once these survivors reached the defensive troops and initiated combat, the battleships’ support beca almost negligible. This was because once close-quarters combat erupted, the warships couldn’t continue firing.
And that was precisely what was happening now.
Although the bombardnt continued, Demons relentlessly surged forth from the smoke of the gunfire. Many were severely wounded, missing limbs in droves, yet even such grueso injuries failed to halt their insane advance.
Soon enough, these Demons who survived the bombing approached the defensive line. Under Bernardo’s command, the defensive troops were already well-accustod to such scenarios. The Void Magic Squad stationed midair imdiately engaged, intercepting the Demons before they reached the ground forces.
The Void Magic Warriors, like the warships, held an aerial advantage and were far more agile in combat. Within a short amount of ti, they had eliminated all the Demons heading toward the defensive troops. Yet as the first wave of Demons fell, a second wave ca rushing forward in even greater numbers!
The first wave of Demons that escaped the bombardnt numbered only a few dozen, most of them heavily injured. However, the second wave now increased to several hundred. Despite over half of them being critically wounded, a significant portion remained relatively unscathed.
The unhard Demons instantly beca a major headache for the Void Magic Corps. Not because they posed significant threats to the Void Magic Warriors directly, but because their lack of injuries made them harder to eliminate, which required more ti. Yet, the longer it took, the more Demons flooded forward in rapid succession.
Under such circumstances, a number of Demons quickly broke through the secondary defensive line ford by the Void Magic Squad, clashing directly with the Close Combat Tank Armor units stationed to hold the line!
A Magic Antelope Devil leapt into the air, soaring over ten ters before landing with a heavy thud right in front of a Tank Armor. This type of Demon was massive, over two ters tall, with a humanoid body but a head resembling that of an antelope. According to rumors, it belonged to the sa category as Bull-horned Demons. The Magic Antelope Devil’s extraordinary leaping ability allowed it to easily jump tens of ters vertically or propel itself tens of ters forward with ease.
However, the mont the Magic Antelope Devil landed, the Tank Armor facing it fired instantly. Its dual-arm-mounted four-barreled Magic Energy Bullet Emitters unleashed a storm of magical bullets in an instant, turning the Demon’s chest into a bloody ss.
Despite enduring a direct assault, the Magic Antelope Devil refused to collapse. Unlike the Bull-horned Demons, whose advantages lay in their thick hide and robust Scale Armor that rendered normal attacks ineffective, the Magic Antelope Devil excelled in sheer physical sturdiness. Its body was remarkably robust. Though its chest was shredded and mutilated, this injury was far from fatal for such a beast.
The Magic Antelope Devil then charged forward, its gaze locked on the Tank Armor, ramming its head straight into the ch!
The Demon’s head truly resembled that of an antelope, especially its pair of horns, which were longer, sharper, and harder than steel. Upon impact, the antelope horns pierced the Tank Armor’s belly. Fortunately, they did not breach the cockpit, or the Tank Armor would have been rendered worthless.
At this precise mont, a long, massive blade abruptly extended from the Tank Armor’s arm, instantly piercing through the Demon’s chest.
As a Close Combat Tank Armor, Magic Energy Bullets were rely auxiliary weapons. The true killing tool it possessed was the blade. The twin blades mounted on its arms remained concealed during normal operations but could deploy at a mont’s notice, precisely like now. They were incredibly sharp and extrely durable.
After stabbing the Magic Antelope Devil’s chest with its blade, the Tank Armor’s upper torso began rotating sharply. With this movent, the blade sliced through the Demon’s torso, splitting its upper body cleanly in two…
With the foe eliminated, the Tank Armor started moving again. Over a hundred Tank Armors surged forward, their treads spinning rapidly as they charged the Demons head-on, firing nonstop. Simultaneously, triangular spikes deployed from the front of their chassis, allowing them to inflict grievous harm simply through sheer montum without engaging in lee combat.
It must be said that the Close Combat Tank Armors developed by Sigma and the Uranus Corporation were impeccable in their design, even deserving of the term “excellent.” The design teams from the two companies pushed the performance of these Tank Armors to their limits, transforming these features into combat advantages and imparting significant lee capabilities.
Yet as Rocky had pointed out, the inherent limitations of the Tank Armors were insurmountable. Fundantally, these machines were unsuited for close-quarters brawling. No amount of exceptional design could alter their core weaknesses.
This was evident as the intensity of the battle escalated. The Allied Forces began noticing that the Tank Armors grew increasingly ineffective when facing large-scale Demon assaults—just like now.
The Tank Armor that had successfully eliminated the Magic Antelope Devil monts ago didn’t fare well the second ti around. After moving barely a few dozen ters, it was intercepted by another Magic Antelope Devil. Before it could fire, two more Magic Antelope Devils appeared from the left and right.
Caught in the pincer attack of three Magic Antelope Devils, the Tank Armor was flipped over almost instantly. Within monts, the Demons pulverized it beneath their feet, smashing it into a pile of shattered tal…
