Chapter 258, Steel Fortress
Chapter 258, Steel Fortress
"Steel walls strong enough to stop 20mm caliber bombardment?"
I saw the so-called "secret weapon" of the Mist Alliance in the chat channel, as well as those chosen by the Mist Alliance who were cheering between the lines.
Li You felt that his heart was full of absurdity.
With the unscientific productivity of the "workbench" in the foggy world, it is not difficult to create a steel plate that can defend against 20mm shells.
But... what's the use of this?
Li You's three Tiger King tanks are supported by... but three 88mm thick pipes.
Li You had already tested the power of the 88mm tank gun.
Except for the armor-piercing projectiles specially used for armored combat, once the high-explosive projectile is fired, there will be almost no living things within a radius of 20 meters...
Even at the second level, if you are unlucky or too close, you still have to ascend to heaven on the spot.
"It's so innocent and cute that it doesn't make sense."
Shaking his head and closing the [Chat Channel], Li You stood on the temporary command tower and looked around.
According to the guidance of the "location mark", they are only about two or three thousand meters away from the base camp of the Mist Alliance Army.
If it weren't for the weird natural environment of the foggy world.
This distance... Li You even asked the King Tiger tank to raise the artillery elevation angle, and launched a few rounds of "greeting shelling" to the misty coalition army first.
"Lord Li You, I never expected that the Mist Alliance Army would build such a ridiculous 'iron wall' in order to counter your firepower and equipment."
Sitting not far from Li You, Erfang Hezi's voice revealed a weirdness.
Even though she didn't know much about hot weapon warfare, no matter how she thought about it...it was impossible to use this thing to stop Li You's attack.
"It takes full strength for a lion to fight a rabbit."
With a slight smile, Li You glanced over the faces of the Erfangcheng officers standing around him one by one.
"Things like tanks are actually of limited use in the fog."
"What I value is only their protection."
As he said that, Li You's next words made Erfang Hezi and a group of Erfang City officers open their mouths.
It was as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"After this time, if the King Tiger tank is proven to be suitable for fighting in the fog."
"I... will use it as an export weapon and sell it publicly."
"..."
"This……"
With a look of embarrassment on his face, Erfang Hezi looked at Li You and said:
"Master Li You, if such a weapon...is in the hands of other people, it might be a bit inappropriate, right?"
For Li You's idea of selling the "Tiger King Tank", Erfang Hezi was somewhat conflicted.
Because in the current fog, this kind of heavy tank... is almost invincible.
Regardless of the fact that Li You has already created this kind of giant with a self-weight of tens of tons, [-]% of the candidates in the mist have the strongest weapons in their hands at this time... all are "big bolts".
What's more, many people don't even have the ability to produce their own ammunition.
When seeing the Tiger King Tank for the first time, Erfang Hezi also thought about... how to deal with it.
After thinking about it, except for waiting for "technological upgrades"...the only way is the same as the Fog United Army.
... "Large-yield dynamite pack".
Braving gunfire and ammunition, throwing explosive packets near the tank... how easy is it?
What's more, in front of the foggy and unreasonable "workbench".
Unless it's completely blown into a pile of scrap metal.
Otherwise, as long as the workbench judges that the integrity of the thing is still 20%, it can be repaired directly, saving even the effort of disassembling and assembling parts.
What's the point of blowing up a few tank crews at great cost?
"Heh... He Zi, be safe and don't be impatient."
Gently glanced at the armrest of the chair, Li You stared at Erfang Hezi and said:
"In the foggy world, the Blue Stars have already had a hard time."
"And I...have no intention of suppressing the development of others."
"With such a powerful weapon, everyone's safety and efficiency can be improved to a higher level when exploring the fog."
After all, Li You seemed to understand the source of Erfang Hezi's worry, looked at the latter seriously and said:
"As my allies, you and I are one."
"So, if you also intend to equip this thing... I will give you a [-]% discount."
"..."
"Five, fifty percent off?"
Surrounded by huge surprises, Erfang Hezi could no longer even maintain his manners in front of his subordinates.
"That's right, [-]% off..."
"My military sales price is about [-] units of standard resources."
"For you, as long as you have five thousand standard resources, you can pick up the car from me."
After Li You's voice fell, not only Erfang Hezi, but even a group of Erfang City officers around him showed unbelievable ecstasy on their faces.
With standard resources of only [-] units, can you mention a "Tiger King Tank"?
In this misty world, there is such a good thing?
"Master Li You, are you... serious?"
There was a slight stutter in his voice, and Erfang Hezi felt that he hadn't recovered from the shock.
Don't look at the 50% vassal tax that Li You called "blood-sucking" in Erfang City today.
But standard resources, the kind that are all over the floor, are not valuable in the fog.
In particular, Erfang Hezi has already mastered a huge number of chosen ones at this time.
Excluding the amount that must be consumed every day, Erfang City now has three to four thousand units of standard resources left over every day.
Judging from the selling price here in Li You, if Erfang Hezi works harder... it will be as fast as one tank a day!
"I don't joke about things like that."
"With me, as long as the standard resources of [-] units are available, you can pick up the car."
"However, the King Tiger tank is a precision war weapon after all, and the output here is not high."
"If you want to order in bulk, I'm afraid you still need to schedule it."
……
Chatting with Erfang Hezi did not waste much time.
After a large number of selected candidates arrived at the "advance base" built by Li You, they immediately began to rest in place.
Although the physical strength of the first level has increased by leaps and bounds compared to ordinary people.
However, carrying a load of dozens of kilograms, he ran continuously for an hour at a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour.
I still need a little rest to recover my strength.
When the chosen ones took out the food and water they carried to replenish their physical strength, an "advance force" belonging to Li You...had quietly left the advance base.
As an advance force with some reconnaissance significance, this force is not large in size.
Counting the leaders Evelyn and Su, there are only more than 30 people.
However, the rest of the team members are all second-tier Hines knights.
"Master Li You's order, you all heard it."
"We're just going to scout and, by the way, 'say hello' to the guys from the Mist Alliance."
Holding the "Oerlikon 20mm cannon" in her hand, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on Evelyn's face.
"My loyal and brave subordinates! Last time... Lord Li You was despicably attacked by the Mist Alliance Army on the battlefield."
"This...is a disgrace to our knights."
"After entering the fire range... directly start shooting the enemy soldiers."
"Their offense to Master Li You can only be washed away with blood!"
After Evelyn gave the order with a hint of chill, the group of Hines knights behind did not speak.
Instead, the commanders of the two knight squads spoke hesitantly.
"But... Master Li You's order is for us to scout and test the opponent's 'city wall'."
"And made it clear, let's not ... kill indiscriminately!"
"..."
"Ah……"
With a disdainful sneer, Evelyn, who was walking in the front, stopped.
"You are right, Lord Li You's order...is indeed so."
"but……"
Evelin said, and at lightning speed, she took out a pistol from the holster on the waist of the armor...
"Ok?"
Before a group of Hynes knights could react, Evelyn raised her hand.
...and pulled the trigger on a group of knights.
In the rapid shooting, the dull gunshots of "bang bang bang" almost became one.
In the flames, these bullets all bounced off the "Hynes Royal Armor" without exception.
Their only role was to leave a few inconspicuous scratches on the breastplates of a few knights.
"Now, we are under attack."
"Do you understand?"
Smartly inserting the pistol back into the holster, Evelyn turned her head and continued on.
At the same time, there was her teasing voice towards Su.
"Sue, I think...we have a secret together now? Right?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Su, standing in military uniform, answered with cold eyes.
"...It's your secret."
"However, unless Lord Li You asks about it... I will not take the initiative to inform him."
"very good!"
As she strode forward without looking back, Evelyn's laughter seemed even more joyful.
Su, who was walking slowly behind, had a few strange emotions in his cold silver-white eyes.
"Even if I told you..."
"What impact will it have on the Flower of Blood in Quin City and the blood-stained hands of the Hines Empire?"
……
A distance of several thousand meters can be covered in minutes for a group of second-tier "task forces".
When he was about to enter the light warning area outside the "base camp", Su stopped in his tracks.
According to Li You's order, she will summon the "Red Heron" to stand by nearby.
In order to support Evelyn and others to retreat when the situation is not good.
"Okay, here we go."
Casually drawing the long sword from the nape of the chosen person in front of her, Evelyn took a look at this shabby-looking "warning post".
In this small sentry tower, there are only two sentries who are responsible for looking after the "lighting area" of about 30 meters around.
It is conceivable that there are probably many guard posts like this near the "base camp".
"But, what's the point?"
With a smile on her lips, Evelin put on her "cannon exoskeleton" again and nodded to Su on the side.
Then he walked straight towards the darkness in the distance.
Behind her, a group of Hines knights lined up in a neat scattered linear formation, following quickly.
……
Outside the base camp, the fortress wall.
"Hey, do you think this iron wall really works?"
Patting the cold metal city wall in front of him, a few selected soldiers of the Fog United Army were smoking while chatting casually.
As for the fog more than [-] meters away... Who would stare at that place if they have nothing to do?
"It's good to be a fart."
Taking a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, a tall and thin selector let out a "sneer".
"It's not like you don't know what's over there at the Central Market!"
"That's a special King Tiger tank!"
"As far as the "iron shell" under our buttocks is at most 88 to [-] centimeters, do you think it can block [-]mm shells?"
The words of the thin and tall chosen one made everyone around them shrink their heads uncontrollably.
But there are also people who disagree with this.
"You can't say that."
The middle-aged selector opposite the tall and lanky selector continued with a smile:
"The 88mm tank gun is really powerful."
"But in my opinion, that's all."
"Think about it, if they use armor-piercing bullets to hit our city wall, what's the point?"
"It's amazing to drill a hole in the city wall to get out. There are a few more unlucky ghosts behind."
"And then... gone!"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged selector seemed to think of something funny, and swept the crowd:
"But if the high-explosive bomb is replaced, do you think...it will work well against the city wall?"
"Cannonballs! The lethality depends entirely on the shock waves of the shrapnel!"
"Shrapnel, we mortals really can't stand it, but the shock wave... With everyone's first-level physical fitness, it's still no big problem!"
A few people were talking, and at the edge of the crowd, a young Chosen One suddenly raised his voice on the edge of the city wall.
"Brothers, is it time to change shifts?"
"Why did the people from the sentry tower in the north come back?"
"..."
"what?"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and they all leaned over to look at the edge of the fog more than a hundred meters away.
There, a few figures have emerged from the mist scattered and are staying on the edge of the mist.
It looks like a "sentinel" who came back for a shift.
The next moment, a shrill roar came from the team not far next door.
"Enemy attack!!!!"
"The enemy is coming!!!"
Accompanied by this stern reminder, countless green tracer bullets also began to cover the city wall from the edge of the fog with precision.
……
"Get down and beat... it's really accurate!"
Looking at a string of tracer bombs, a string of splashing blood mist was brought out on the "city wall" that was shining with metallic luster on the opposite side.
Evelin skillfully changed a magazine for her "20mm Oerlikon cannon".
What reconnaissance, what temptation...all are meaningless things.
Ever since Li You took a "cold shot" on the battlefield last time, she has been brewing for a long time to burn the anger of the whole world in her heart.
"After so long... I finally got a glimmer of hope."
"It almost went out in your hands..."
The smile on her face turned cold, and Evelyn's voice of order, which seemed to be able to freeze everything, echoed again in the ears of the nearby Hines knight.
"Kill them all!!"
"For Master Li You!!"
