18th century total war

Chapter 394

The Sahara Desert is the largest known desert in the world. It is located in northern Africa. At this time, in the Sahara Desert near the Atlantic coast, after the countdown of the preset magic device ended, a bright white light suddenly erupted, and a link seemed to The portal between heaven and earth exploded!

The next moment, there was a crooked square array in the portal, wearing leather armor or chain mail, and soldiers with a Caucasian appearance came out in groups.

If someone sees this scene, even a military layman can tell that this group of people is a typical motley crew with cold weapons.

Not to mention the unified standard weapons, they didn't even have uniform burqas and military uniforms. Many people even had bald heads and didn't even wear a leather helmet!

However, this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of this group of people is weak. All the soldiers have fierce eyes, cautious expressions, and murderous intent boiling all over their bodies. They are not rookies who have just entered the battlefield.

The information on the Arigado Empire provided by Merlin is very accurate. The troops that the Arigado Empire is willing to send to the portal she opened are all from the Xuanwu Legion.

And the Xuanwu Legion obviously assembled the experienced mercenaries and powerful lone travelers recruited temporarily for expansion, and dispatched them as the vanguard.

Only the personal guards around the leading generals, wearing the uniform uniform of the Arigado Empire, rode tall horses at the forefront.

"General Michael, Merlin is not around. We came through the preset gate to another world."

When a strong man wearing a cloak and being escorted by a group of full-body armor guards on horseback came out, the commander of the advance team trotted over and knelt in front of the other party to report.

"Um?

Here are the coordinates provided by Merlin? "

"Yes, General Michael."

The hideous scar on General Michael's face suddenly twisted into a ball. Looking at the endless yellow sand around him, he already had the urge to crush Merlin to death!

Oh no, before pinching Merlin to death, let tens of thousands of big-headed soldiers take turns for Merlin!
This is teleporting his army to the middle of the desert!

Is this place where the army is teleported?
In order to save the consumption of magic stone resources, it is impossible for the other world portal to carry too many logistical supplies when teleporting the army, and the teleportation soldiers are not enough. How can it be possible to teleport a large amount of supplies?
Because of this, the agreement that Merlin reached with the Arigado Empire before was to teleport to a densely populated area, so that when the army opened the portal, they could have enough supplies and food by themselves!
For the Arigado Empire, which is still in the era of cold weapons, the demand for military supplies is not high. As long as the soldiers' rations and drinking water problems can be solved, the army can continue to fight.

Unlike those troops who use firearms to fight, once there is a problem with ammunition supply, the weapons in their hands will immediately turn into fire sticks...

Michael turned around and looked at the towering portal, feeling the urge to run back.

It's a pity that the alien teleportation technology of the Makabaka Continent is at the rookie stage, and the construction of a one-way portal with high energy consumption and one-time use has exhausted all the resources of the empire.

The soldiers who came out of the alien portal turned around and walked back, but they just physically passed through the illusory alien portal, and it was impossible to return to their hometown.

Of course, before entering the portal to another world, no one thought about the moment of returning to the Makabaka continent, from General Michael, the general commander, to ordinary low-level mercenaries.

No matter how bad the foreign land is, it is much better than the hometown that is about to die!
After all, no one wants to die!
After finally passing the review by relying on their own combat power, they joined the Xuanwu Army and went to another world to seek a new hometown. How could they return to that hometown that was on the verge of doomsday?
The troops were the first to drive out. When General Michael came out with his personal guards, the yellow sand in his field of vision was already full of advance troops.

But there are still new soldiers coming out of the alien portal.

It's just that the mood of the advance troops seems to be unstable...

General Michael, who has reached the level of knight commander fighting spirit, has grown to an inhuman level, and has strong hearing, can hear the fearful conversations of soldiers in the distance from time to time.

"Gods be, we have come to a world full of sand!

Damn it, the drinking water I brought here is only enough for three days! "

"I heard that we are all soldiers this time, and we didn't prepare much food and supplies. Are we going to starve to death here?"

"Brothers are all from a mercenary group, pay more attention to other people from now on, after three days, the water in the hands of the big guys will be drunk, be careful of those wolf-hearted guys drinking human blood!

Here, there are many Jiangyang thieves sneaking in!

Only the gods know what unconscionable things those people will do after they have no drinking water! "

…………

Not surprisingly, as soon as he arrived in the New World, General Michael discovered that the miscellaneous army under his command had already started forming gangs to prepare for the cut off of water resources in three days!

The advance team were all recruited after the expansion of the Xuanwu Legion, and there was nothing to say about their combat experience. Whether it was a lone traveler from the mercenary regiment or a gangster disguised as a mercenary regiment, they were all murderers without batting an eyelid.

After all, in order to fight in other worlds and face several other intelligent groups who went to other worlds at the same time, the Arigado Empire only looked at the battle level when expanding its army, and did not examine other things at all.

As long as they are not well-known on the empire's most wanted list, they will be included.

However, it is impossible for the Arigado Empire to arrest all the gangsters, and even if they are wanted, they are often only the gang leaders.

Because of the expansion of the Xuanwu Legion's enrollment and the doomsday environment of the Makabaka Continent, those gangsters even attacked their own wanted criminal boss in order to "clean their whites and go ashore"!
This allowed many gangsters to join the Xuanwu Army smoothly.

However, it is difficult for imperial officials to review the unknown gangsters, which does not mean that the mercenaries who often deal with the bottom do not know.

When the two sides accepted the reorganization of the Arigado Empire, they were afraid of the power of the Arigado Empire and did not dare to provoke troubles. But when they came to the new century and saw the desert environment with no hope of survival, their bloodthirsty minds naturally began to move around.

Everything is for survival.

General Michael listened to the soldiers under his command starting to form gangs and prepare intelligence for the conflagration three days later. He looked at the huge alien portal, which was still spitting out the endless Xuanwu Legion troops, and the scar on his forehead jumped.

If he didn't do something, the Xuanwu Legion would probably have wiped out themselves before they even encountered the enemy!

You know, after the expansion of the Xuanwu Legion, the number of soldiers in the original regular army is not as large as those of the miscellaneous army!

Moreover, before the expansion of the Xuanwu Legion, all the elites above the rank of sergeant were transferred to the Suzaku Legion to supplement their strength.

In other words, the strength of General Michael's direct descendants has not increased but decreased!

As the only commander of the four major legions who was not born in the royal family, General Michael was already mentally prepared to be squeezed out by the royal family.

Being sent to be the first cannon fodder to step into the new world is nothing to General Michael, but General Michael never expected that Merlin would betray the empire and lead millions of troops to the desperate desert!
Doesn't Merlin know that no matter how powerful the Magic Guild is, without the help of the empire, those hundreds of genuine magicians are like rootless duckweed?

Not to mention the native army of the New World, the troops of other major races that will also come are not something the Magic Guild can face alone!
Not to mention, the new world doesn't yet have the magical energy that fills the air!

The strength of the mage group will be greatly reduced!

Therefore, General Michael couldn't figure out why Merlin betrayed the empire and killed the Xuanwu Legion in the first place!

What good would it do Merlin?
Could it be that the witch who has been pretending for nearly a thousand years and deceived herself that she is still a man has always been an extremely perverted guy?

Want to die with the empire in the new world?
General Michael, who couldn't figure out the benefits of Merlin's actions, had no choice but to think in the direction of Merlin's brain.

Of course, no matter what the reason is, the facts are already doomed. What General Michael should consider now is not to take revenge on Merlin who doesn’t know where he is hiding, but to find a way out for the million-dollar Xuanwu Army that is about to explode!

The best way is undoubtedly to find an enemy for them to attack!

Even taking a step back, dying at the hands of the enemy is much better than dying at the hands of one's own.

Just as General Michael was thinking hard, there was a sudden noise-like buzzing in the sky.

Like most soldiers, he instinctively looked up.

In the cloudless sky under the scorching sun, an ugly aircraft flew slowly over their heads, from one end to the other, and then turned back from the other end...

Even if you don't know this kind of aircraft, you know that the other party is watching your group!
Flying over the Xuanwu Legion is naturally a biplane reconnaissance plane that has just been mass-produced by the Paris Research Center.

Under Li Wei's order, the first aircraft produced by the Europa Empire was not a fighter jet, let alone a bomber, but a reconnaissance plane.

If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles!
At this time, the biplane reconnaissance plane hovering over the heads of the Xuanwu Army was actually determining the enemy's coordinates for the artillery positions in the rear.

Of course, the coordinates were determined as early as when the alien portal was placed, and the main goal of the reconnaissance plane was to ensure that there were enough enemies and it was worth using artillery to clear the ground.

General Michael couldn't understand the function of the aircraft, but the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense. He followed his intuition and ran away from the portal with his personal guards without stopping.

This move allowed General Michael to survive the first round of shelling!

In the huge alien portal, the pace of the troops moving out has not changed, and they are moving with extremely high efficiency.

After all, every time the alien portal is opened for one more second, the Arigado Empire will burn innumerable resources of magic stones, so of course they must hurry up.

The main purpose of the reorganization of the Xuanwu Legion is to make the miscellaneous troops understand the importance of queues and prevent them from being jammed when entering other worlds.

As for entering the new world, there is no need to worry. Anyway, this is a one-way portal. Even if the entering soldiers turn around, they will just pass through the illusory portal to the other side.

Weird screams appeared behind General Michael, and the intense anxiety in his heart had reached its peak. Immediately afterwards, clusters of exploding flames rose into the air behind him!
General Michael just turned his head to look at it, and then he lost his soul, desperately driving the dragon blood horse with a part of dragon blood in his crotch to speed up desperately.

"Oh, by the gods!
It's Burst Fireball! "

"damn it!

How many mages will throw bursting fireballs at us, at least a few thousand mages will be needed!
How can we fight against New World even casually taking out a group of mages with thousands of people? ! "

"help me!

my leg!
My leg was blown off!
what! ! ! "

"Help!
There was a hole in my kidney! "

"By gods, my second...

woo woo woo~~~"

The area around the portal was obviously the hardest hit area for the first round of shelling. Countless high-explosive grenades landed there. This type of shell, which was designed to kill soft targets, was extremely useful against the gathered soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion.

Every time a shell goes down, dozens of human bodies or their parts will shoot up into the sky!

Among them, the most outstanding shells set off hundreds of targets!
In just a few minutes, the yellow-orange sand was stained red by the blood of visitors from another world, and rivers of bright blood quickly appeared!
Even a desert with full water absorption capacity cannot consume so much freshly squeezed blood in a short period of time!

Many of these powerful soldiers were emitting bright white light, but under the impact wave energy of the high-explosive grenade, they were easily torn apart, just like the iron armor they wore.

Only those who are strong at the level of a great knight can survive this kind of carpet bombing.

The premise is that he was not hit exactly by the high-explosive grenade.

Hundreds of 150mm cannon field guns were outputting at the edge of the desert, and the artillerymen with their bare upper bodies stuffed shells into the barrels. The coordinates had already been determined, and they only needed to pull the wires to shoot the shells out.

Unsurprisingly, the soldiers near the alien portal that were baptized by the shells were quickly swept away. They didn't even have a way to lie down to avoid the shelling!
After all, there is no training on how to dodge shells on the Makabaka continent...

However, the portal to another world was still established, and tens of thousands of teams marched out one after another in square formations, and then they were torn into pieces by shells falling from the sky!

The artillery of the Europa Empire kept firing until the heat of the barrel was on the verge of limit before stopping the shelling!
After the shelling stopped, General Michael, who was hiding under the beach in the distance, was stunned by the scene of Shura in front of him. This was the fastest war he had ever seen in his life!
