The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 66 The cannon theft is complete, but where did the cannon sound come from?
"What? This ray is nothing special. It will kill infantry instantly, and the damage is only so-so when used by cavalry!"

The player who had just resurrected glanced at his death replay and, upon discovering that the necromancer had been killed, curled his lip in disdain.

Before this, when he followed Andrei in a raid on enemy troops, he saw the soldiers instantly killed by the necromantic ray and wondered how powerful it really was.

Unexpectedly, when he was in cavalry mode, he was able to withstand this thing for three seconds!
Since that's the case, then the destructive power of this thing isn't as abnormal as I imagined. I just don't know how other elite soldiers, like sentries, would be able to withstand it.

After this player was killed and then resurrected, the other players gradually returned as well.

Without exception, they were all killed by the enemy and then resurrected, after all, they were charging into the enemy's ranks.

Although they launched an unexpected attack under the cover of mortar fire, successfully eliminating the necromancer who had been hiding at the back of the group, leaving him almost no time to do anything else.

However, once the large Black Hawk army that followed reacted, the players couldn't hold out any longer.

Mechs, machine guns, and all sorts of other heavy firepower were bombarding the player, and even the cavalry's high health bar couldn't withstand such attacks.

However, before they died, these cavalrymen still managed to kill as many undead soldiers as possible, and also used grenades to blow up the foremost Peacemaker mech.

The Black Hawk Empire had obvious structural flaws in designing this mech. While having only three mechanical legs did save materials and reduce the weight of the mech, it greatly weakened the mech's stability.

Even if a series of grenades cannot penetrate the mech's outer shell, the continuous explosions can easily damage the rudimentary mechanical transmission device, causing the metal can to tip over on the spot.

After glancing at the situation in the distance, Andrei quietly noted down his discovery.

He didn't know what the Cambrian Empire's mechs actually looked like. He hoped there wasn't a ridiculous three-legged mech. If there was, he would definitely have to find a way to report it to his superiors and have them change that design immediately.

Hiding at the back of the ranks, the abyss mage who had been mingling in the command post watched the chaotic cavalry raid in the distance with lingering fear.

He had to admit that he was somewhat frightened.

He used to think that the thing mages should fear most on the battlefield was cannons, since most mage shields couldn't withstand artillery fire from the sky.

Moreover, cannons have a longer attack range than mages, and often launch attacks from outside the field of vision, so you never know when a shell might hit you on the head.

But now, he never expected that a mage could be killed by a cavalryman with a single spear thrust!
"That's strange. Was it because his magical training was inadequate, or was there something wrong with the cavalryman's spear? How could he be stabbed to death like that?"

The abyss mage stared at his dead colleague in the distance, utterly perplexed.

The Bone Shield spell, while lacking in magic resistance, boasts strong physical resistance. Even a heavy machine gun can't penetrate it, so how could a spear possibly pierce through it?
Just then, Lieutenant Colonel August, who had been standing beside him, looked at the necromancer and his squad, who had been wiped out in the distance, and the skeletons that had turned into countless pieces of remains, and said with a hint of irony:
"Heh, it seems your witchcraft skills are nothing special after all. You slaughtered so many residents, and this is all you've achieved?"

"Honestly, if you keep these residents alive, the value they can generate through their work is far greater than if they die as cannon fodder like this!"

The Abyss Mage shrugged and turned to Lieutenant Colonel August, saying:
“Lieutenant Colonel, it was that necromancer who slaughtered them, not me. Besides, it was just an accident.”

"To put it another way, if these skeletons were used as laborers, they could actually produce more than the inhabitants!" Lieutenant Colonel August merely snorted at this, his disgust for these mages growing even stronger.

As if venting his frustration, he quickly urged his remaining armored soldiers to continue advancing over the radio, and also called out to the troops that had not yet crossed the bridge and caught up.

Those bridging mechs are good in every other way, but on the one hand, their failure rate is too high, and on the other hand, their mobility is too poor, making it difficult for them to keep up with the main force.

Moreover, the bridges this thing can build are too small, allowing only one mech to pass at a time, which is far from meeting the Empire's war needs.

"Let the 3rd Company break in with a battalion of infantry. The cyborg artillerymen from the anti-armor company should also go in and use mortars to fire smoke grenades to cover our men!"

"Be careful when you go in, watch your step, the enemy may have laid a lot of traps in the town!"

After uttering a couple of remarks, Lieutenant Colonel August resumed commanding the battle.

These useless wizards are incapable of achieving anything of value. Let their armored vehicles and infantry work together to take over the town step by step.

As his orders were relayed, nearly ten Hunter mechs, along with an entire battalion of Black Hawk infantry, quickly formed a battle formation and slowly approached.

Unlike the Peacekeeper mech, which was merely a transitional product and primarily used for armored reconnaissance, the Hunter mech, while slower, boasts stronger protection and its electromagnetic spikes are quite penetrating.

If they encounter a particularly troublesome target, the harpoon on its back can also be useful, as a single shot is enough to penetrate any enemy bunker or armor.

In addition to these Hunter mechs, several Dauntless mechs followed behind, all pointing their long-barreled 75mm cannons, which were both accurate and powerful, at the front, ready to blast away the enemy's firing positions at any time.

As they watched the enemy slowly approaching in battle formation in the distance, Andrei and everyone in the town couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

The enemies approaching this time are completely different from the skeleton soldiers from before.

But just then, a notification popped up in Andrei's system, showing that the player had already completed the mission he had just given to destroy the enemy infantry guns.

"Nice! We finally stole that wretched cannon!"

Upon seeing this notification, Andrei clenched his fist excitedly. Without artillery support, the enemy's suppressive power had decreased significantly.

But the next moment, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons going off again.

"What's going on? Weren't the Black Hawk Men's cannons destroyed? Could it be...?"

Looking at the sudden explosion of fire in the distance, Andrei opened his mouth in surprise.
