Chapter 143 Using Flying Demons to Intercept Artillery Fire

Volaz could sense that the enemy was in the direction from which the artillery fire was coming, but he couldn't even see a shadow of the enemy.

This was nothing short of a massacre.

A one-sided massacre in which no one could fight back!

Its claws can tear steel, its strength can shake mountains, but all of that seems so ridiculous in the face of this endless explosion.

Anger, frustration, helplessness... all sorts of emotions churned in Woraz's chest, eventually transforming into a near-mad tyranny.

"Fly!"

Its crimson pupils stared intently at the sky, roaring at the flying units trembling under the gunfire.

"Winged Demons! Gargoyles! Get up and fly, you bastards!"

"Use your lives! Go and knock those damned iron spears down!"

Under Volaz's absolute class suppression and the threat of death, tens of thousands of flying monsters let out terrified cries.

They instinctively fear the deadly meteors in the sky, but they fear even more the leader who issues the commands.

"Damn it, are you trying to disobey orders? Believe me, I'll make you wish you were dead!!"

"No, no, we'll go right away!"

Several high-ranking winged demon leaders let out frightened shrieks, took the lead in flapping their wings, and rushed into the sky against their instinctive fear.

Large numbers of winged demons and gargoyles could only suppress their fear and follow them, forming a sparse black curtain as they faced the next barrage of shells.

The throwing demons on their backs gripped their mounts tightly, drawing bone spears from their backs in preparation for interception.

In the distance, new points of light appear once again.

"They're here!"

"Intercept!"

The winged demon leader roared, its wings flapping powerfully, and its entire body transformed into a black arrow, crashing straight into a whistling rocket.

At the same time, the throwing demon on its back hurled its bone spear with all its might.

If you don't want to die, it's best to intercept it in advance; otherwise, you'll only perish together with it.

The bone spear traced a path through the air, accurately hitting the flank of the rocket.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the bone spear was deflected, but it did not explode.

The immense kinetic energy caused the rocket to tumble in the air before plummeting downwards at an angle.

Below, the demon army still stood.

Seeing this, the Winged Demon leader gritted its teeth, rushed forward, and used its massive body to fiercely embrace the rocket, even though it was burned by the tail flame.

"boom--!!!"

The rocket detonated prematurely at an altitude of 100 meters above the ground.

A cloud of fire exploded in the air, and violent shockwaves and debris spread in all directions.

The high-ranking winged demon, along with the throwing demon on its back, was instantly blasted to obliterate all its remains.

It turned into minced flesh and black blood, which fell from the sky.

However, the power of this premature explosion was dispersed.

The barrage of deadly bullets, which should have covered the ground, became sparse and ineffective, leaving only some shallow craters in the ground and narrowly saving a small group of demon infantrymen who were charging below.

"It works!"

"efficient!!"

On the ground, countless monsters witnessed this scene and let out excited roars.

Woraz saw it too.

A sinister smile appeared on its ugly face.

These iron spears are not invincible!

If we can intercept it, we can greatly reduce its power!

"All flight units!"

Volaz roared again, his voice filled with a bloodthirsty fervor.

"At all costs, stop them all from the sky!"

"Anyone who dares disobey orders will suffer a fate worse than death!"

Upon hearing this, the flight crew couldn't help but shudder.

The consequences of being tortured to death and the absolute dominance of the higher-ranking over the lower-ranking caused them to let out fearless roars and rush into the sky in droves.

They transformed into moths drawn to the flame, facing a new round of gunfire.

For a moment, the sound of explosions filled the sky.

The moment countless winged demons and gargoyles touched the cannonballs, they turned into dazzling fireworks.

The throwing demons hurled bone spears wildly, and occasionally a few were lucky enough to detonate the cannonballs ahead of time, eliciting cheers from them.

This was an extremely fierce exchange of pieces.

They used their flesh and blood to ensure the premature detonation of a shell.

As Volaz watched the blood and flesh fireworks exploding in the sky, even the occasional shells that slipped through no longer seemed so deadly.

There was no pity in its scarlet vertical pupils.

As long as the army can charge into the enemy's presence.

This loss is worth it!

……

Inside the command vehicle of the Great Xia Expeditionary Force.

"Report: Enemy aircraft have been detected attempting to intercept our artillery shells."

An officer pointed to the live feed on the large screen.

In the scene, countless red dots representing the flying units of the Demon race are recklessly crashing into the white trajectory lines representing cannonballs, before exploding into clumps of garbled data in mid-air.

"The interception success rate was 47%, and the damage efficiency of our artillery fire decreased by about 51%."

The AI ​​provided cold, hard calculation results.

Long Zhan crossed his arms, looking at the horrific scene on the screen, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Using lives to fill the gap? What a primitive and barbaric tactic."

He didn't even bother to comment; he simply calmly issued the new instructions.

"Have the artillery fire more thermobaric and cluster munitions."

"I'd like to see how many flight units they have to fill in!"

"yes!"

The order has been issued.

At the rear artillery positions, self-propelled mortars and howitzers changed ammunition and fired in conjunction with rocket launchers.

"Target, enemy airspace, cluster munitions, thermobaric weapons, mixed coverage."

"Fire!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

Another round of thunderous volleys.

Dozens of shells, trailing flames, flew in higher arcs towards the demon army.

The cannonballs flew to an altitude of a thousand meters above the demon army and disintegrated in mid-air without waiting for interception by the flying demons.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

With a dull cracking sound, half of the mother bomb instantly released hundreds and thousands of smaller submunitions, exploding into a metallic canopy covering several kilometers.

These bullets were not bombs; they exploded again, scattering countless tungsten-core steel needles, each about five centimeters long.

At the same time, the other half of the rockets exploded, spraying out large plumes of thick white mist.

The clouds spread rapidly, covering a large area of ​​airspace, and precisely adhered to the wings and bodies of every flying monster.

"This is.....?!"

The flying monsters, who were looking up to intercept the cannonballs, looked terrified when they saw the "dark clouds" appearing in the sky and the eerie white mist around them.

They had seen this scene before!

The next second, death arrived.

Countless fine steel needles rained down like a storm, carrying enormous kinetic energy, and pierced directly through the Winged Demon's skin.

Only the gargoyles, with their incredible defensive capabilities, withstood this wave of attacks.

"Puff puff puff puff—!"

The dense, penetrating sounds blended together.

Winged demons fell from the sky in droves.

Almost simultaneously, the white mist clinging to them was ignited by a delayed fuse.

"boom--!!!"

Huge, orange-red fireballs suddenly expanded in the air, completely engulfing the entire cloud-shrouded sky.
