Chapter 212 The Great Xia Unleashes Its Power, the Orcs Are Dumbfounded
The orcs all looked up at the same time.
Hundreds of flames tore through the sky, trailing long tails of fire, and like meteors falling to earth, they precisely struck the desolate, misty forest in the distance.
Warwick: "???"
What is that?
His mind went blank, and his thoughts even paused for a moment.
next second.
At the horizon, above that gray forest, hundreds of dazzling little suns suddenly burst forth.
The light devoured everything, plunging the entire world into a ghastly white!
Immediately afterwards, a visible white circular shockwave swept across the ground.
The earth seemed to be struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, shaking violently and then beginning to tremble wildly.
"Get down!"
Lieutenant Chen, standing next to Warwick, roared loudly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After a few seconds of deathly silence, Lei Ming finally arrived.
It wasn't a single explosion, but a continuous roar that seemed to tear your eardrums apart!
A powerful shockwave hit them, making it impossible to open their eyes.
The orcs behind him were thrown about by the shockwave, but they managed to steady themselves with their powerful bodies. For the first time, their faces showed bewilderment and horror.
Their strong bodies could withstand swords and blades, and their keen senses could detect the murderous intent in the wind, but they had never seen such a devastating scene!
This was beyond their understanding, even beyond their imagination of "power".
"Hold on!"
Warwick roared, his voice barely escaping being completely drowned out by the thunder.
His feet were firmly planted on the ground, his body as steady as a mountain, but his heart was in turmoil. He stared intently at the distant army formation of the Great Xia.
Behind those huge box trucks, launch units were mechanically rotating, automatically loading new "fire sticks" in preparation for the second round.
Alistar, the minotaur, approached, his voice trembling as he pointed to the distant, towering sea of fire.
"This...this is...forbidden magic from the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"No."
Lieutenant Chen had already straightened up and put on tactical earplugs at some point. He looked into the distance.
"This is a long-range rocket artillery barrage."
Warwick: "???"
Before he could even process this unfamiliar term, a second shriek ripped through the sky.
This time, the "fire sticks" flying through the sky suddenly exploded after reaching the forest, turning into countless small black dots that rained down in all directions.
"And what is that?" a winged warrior couldn't help but ask.
"Mother-and-child bullets," Captain Chen said succinctly.
Before the words were even finished, those tiny black dots exploded a second time in mid-air, and millions of steel needles and high-speed fragments formed a deadly metal storm that swept across several square kilometers.
Following closely behind, several more "fire sticks" of even larger size whistled in and detonated at low altitude.
A huge, orange-red fireball suddenly expanded, instantly engulfing and evaporating a large area of forest along with everything within it.
The air inside the fireball was rapidly evacuated, creating a brief vacuum. Then, the surrounding air rushed in violently, generating an even more terrifying secondary shockwave.
Warwick watched helplessly as that area, along with everything within it, was wiped off the map.
"Thermobaric weapon," Captain Chen explained, like a dutiful tour guide.
Warwick opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
The thousand elite orcs behind him were completely dumbfounded.
As they gazed into the distance at what could no longer be called a "forest," but rather a "purgatory," their eyes shifted from horror to profound numbness.
So, war... can be fought like this?
No need to charge, no need to bleed, not even... need to see the enemy.
Inside the command vehicle, Long Zhan stared at the large swaths of disappearing red dots on the screen, his voice as cold and hard as iron.
"Advance the vanguard, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, open fire freely, and clear all remaining targets."
"yes!"
The roar of engines echoed across the plains once more, and a steel torrent of hundreds of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles began to slowly roll forward.
"boom!"
A main battle tank's cannon spewed flames as a high-explosive shell precisely struck a shield-armored demon soldier emerging from the scorched earth.
That monster, which was at least at the fourth level and was known for its hard shell, was now as fragile as a biscuit. A huge hole was blasted into its body, and it collapsed without even letting out a wail.
The vehicle-mounted laser weapon fired a silent beam of light, precisely targeting several winged demons that had managed to break through from the air, burning them to charred remains.
The Vulcan cannon of the "Land Shield 2000" close-in weapon system rotates at high speed, spewing out a dense barrage of metal bullets that turned a group of flying units that tried to approach into a cloud of blood mist.
Warwick's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard.
This is hardly a war.
This is clearly a massacre!
He looked down at the heavy machine gun in his hand, then at the tanks in the distance that looked like mobile steel fortresses.
He suddenly realized that it was somewhat ridiculous of him to have questioned the equipment of the Great Xia before setting off.
That volley of fire just now killed more monsters than he had killed in the past year!
Captain Chen clapped his hands, drawing the attention of all the orcs back to him.
"Alright, the fireworks display is over."
"Now, let's begin our first lesson in practical training."
He gestured with his chin towards the scorched earth ahead, where tanks had crushed it.
"Take up your weapons and follow me."
"Our mission is to clear the battlefield, finish off any living creatures, and ensure that no demon can ever stand up again."
"Remember, aim for the head, save your ammunition."
Warwick took a deep breath, slung the heavy ammunition chain over his body, and let out a low growl at his tribesmen behind him, whose expressions were complex.
"Keep up! Let the Great Xia people see that we orcs aren't just useless eaters!"
"Awooo—!"
A thousand orcs roared, suppressing their shock, and with all sorts of guns at their ready, their fighting spirit reignited.
When they followed Captain Chen into that scorched earth, everyone was once again shocked by the sight before them.
There wasn't a single intact body.
Everywhere there were broken limbs, charred chunks of flesh, and half-melted soil.
The air was filled with the stench of burnt protein mixed with sulfur.
A werewolf warrior stepped on it and felt something soft and yielding beneath his feet.
He lifted his foot and found himself stepping into a puddle of still-steaming flesh.
"Everyone, form groups of three and advance in a fan shape!"
Captain Chen's voice pulled them back to reality.
"Watch your step, there might be some that aren't quite dead yet!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a pile of charred "charcoal" not far away suddenly moved.
A Corruptor, whose body had been blown off halfway, struggled to its feet, opened its mouth as if to spit out its last bit of venom.
"Bang bang bang!"
The bear-man warrior closest to it instinctively raised his Gatling gun and pulled the trigger.
hum-
The gun spun, spitting fire, and a barrage of bullets instantly shattered the monster's head.
The bear-man warrior looked at the "iron rod" in his hand, then at the pile of rotten flesh in the distance, and blinked his bewildered eyes.
Is it... really that simple?
