“Fire!”
“Fire!”
The commander's roar rang out, as if signaling something, and the artillery units lined up behind the main battle corps immediately sprang into action.
“Boom!”
The thunderous sound of cannon fire erupted, resembling the sound of thunder from the heavens. Flames shot out as countless projectiles soared into the sky, showering down around the Demon Realm Gate.
Then they fell and exploded...
However, the results of the attack did not meet anyone's expectations.
The commander looked at the images displayed on the screen. He saw countless projectiles raining down, and aside from those that directly hit the targets, the remaining projectiles fell to the ground and exploded, only to be intercepted by the crystal-like ornaments worn by the demonic clan, resulting in minimal casualties.
They had been well-prepared...
Prepared for artillery strikes, prepared for the warfare system that Earth excelled at, and prepared for the killing weapons developed over hundreds of years.
With any preparation, it became much easier to cope.
Seeing the artillery strike yield no results, the commander's expression remained unchanged as the Heavenly Eye System fed him images of everything happening on the main battlefield.
Thus, he witnessed the fierce charge of the vanguard troops, the bloody battle between the vanguard and the demon archers, the might of the war blade saint Harlanbei, and then he saw Harlanbei get stomped to death by a frenzied demon commander that charged into the battlefield afterward.
The roar of the cannons continued, but their lethality was as before—aside from some chaos and smoke, they couldn’t determine anything at all.
It wasn’t until the advance combat squad that had rushed into the enemy's formation—comprising fifty thousand plus a few strong individuals—was nearly wiped out that the commander issued a new command.
“Change the warheads! Use Hellfire!”
As soon as the order was given, the artillery units outside began a series of operations.
“Click~~”
“Click~~”
The clashing of steel echoed as the warheads loaded into their chambers, and with a flag waved down, the next moment another round of intense explosions resounded!
“Boom!”
It seemed like an apocalyptic fiery punishment!
The warheads soared to the highest point on the battlefield and detonated, unleashing a scorching wave of fire that surged from the sky and then plummeted under the pull of gravity, raining down upon the frenzied demon troops like a viscous rain of fire.
This time, facing this newly developed killing weapon from Beijing, the previously effective defensive crystals were of no use!
It was as if a flame had met the ocean; the defensive crystals flickered and quickly turned to ash. Without the protection of the defensive crystals, the frenzied demons were burned clean through by the flames in the next moment—superpowered incendiary bombs developed with technology and infused with demonic energy had a remarkable effect even against peak level 8 demons.
“Continue!”
The commander ordered again.
Behind the artillery units, countless engineering vehicles laden with Hellfire warheads continuously rushed to the front lines.
With the support of the entire world, we have plenty of ammunition! Missile strikes? Just routine operations.
...
“Boom!”
With a mighty step, Muhan crushed the giant monkey waving a war blade beneath his foot. He looked around and found that the resistance on the entire front line had dwindled to nearly nothing.
In other words, Earth's first wave of counterattack had been completely subdued by the demonic clan—fifty thousand peak level 8 warriors, along with dozens of powerful limit breakers, had been turned to ash in an instant.
Yet they did not leave without results!
The demonic clan's elite—demon archer combat squad, consisting of ten thousand individuals, had been completely wiped out, with only a few cowering in safe positions trembling in fear.
They were already completely ineffective.
