Amidst the urgent shouts of a defensive soldier, they saw the titan begin to cross the frozen river towards Fortress Trot.
Thus began the epic war between the Locke Empire and the Volga Republic.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The titan team of the Volga Republic is crossing the frozen river and approaching the wall. Followed by cavalry and infantry, uniform.
The soldiers in the fortress were stunned, because no one expected that the enemy would come so quickly.
Lin Qing was also surprised.
However, he quickly calmed himself down.
For three months, they have been preparing for a border dispute that is expected soon.
"Activate the magic circle! Prepare the cannon!"
After Lin Qing gave the order, the wizards began to chant spells, the gunpowder of the cannon was hastily filled, and the shells were loaded into the cannon.
"Wait! Listen to my orders"
The soldiers attacked nervously and hastily, but were stopped by Lin Qing's order.
"The enemy's titan team will approach within a hundred meters!"
"wait!"
The enemy's titan sword reflected sunlight into the eyes of soldiers on the defensive wall.
It was as if the enemy were about to tear down the walls and rush straight into the fortress.
"The enemy is within fifty meters."
"Listen to my orders and fire!"
The moment Lin Qing's order fell, the wizards memorized the last spell of the magic circle, and the cannon was ignited by the wick.
Roar from the sky, and heat from the ground.
Explosive mines and other large magic circles were launched simultaneously.
Dozens of Volga men who charged into the lead were killed.
Likewise, part of the titan suffered massive damage, and the back titan also had minor damage, such as ankles and knees.
"This this..."
"Don't stop, keep going!"
Volga's army paused for a second, but following the commander's order, they charged again.
However, when they reached the hilltop below the fort, they were greeted with heavy shelling.
Boom! Boom!
"Quickly reload!"
The officers in charge of the artillery on the defensive walls cried out.
However, due to the large amount of firepower loaded, the shells were large and heavy.
Lin Qing thought of a wonderful way to make up for this shortcoming.
It is by having the titans on the defensive wall to help reload, reloading at breakneck speed.
The Volga titan was destroyed by continuous bombing.
"Ah! When did Trot Fortress become so impenetrable`?"
A wizard in ornate robes, watching the attack from his base, roars
He is the Tyranid Master of the Tower of the Republic.
Although he was a wizard, Tyrann was so good at military insight that he was responsible for leading the wizards and serving during the Republic Revolution.
That's why he was also asked to keep a close eye on the battle at Trot Fortress.
Tai Lun mobilized the warlocks of the Dark Moon Magic Tower early on to break into the enemy's territory.
With the help of them, he instantly froze the holy river, allowing the army to cross the river.
Before the enemy had time to defend his fortress, he planned to rush in and occupy the fortress, but encountered unexpected problems.
Their titan team was hit hard and suffered heavy losses.
"The new fortress commander doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."
Although the goal he wanted to achieve failed, but the winner of this war...is still unclear which side it is.
There were many ways to capture the Trot Fortress, but only one plan failed.
puff!
Trumpets sounded from the land beyond the holy river.
White smoke rose from behind the Volga titan.
The enemy hid in the thick smoke, and Trot Fortress stopped their attacks, because if they couldn't see anything, the process of aiming would be troublesome.
"Are they retreating?"
Lin Qing noticed the enemy's movements and thought about it.
In the early days of the war, unforeseen damage was done to the titan forces.
Lin Qing naturally thought that the enemy commander would order them to retreat.
"The problem is with the artillery, not the enemy titans."
Lin Qing stared at the enemy in the smoke screen.
The enemy army is shrouded in the riverside, and it is tiring to just look at the number.
Of these, the best was the artillery unit massed on the other side.
The artillery force is large in scale, with a wide variety of artillery, both large-caliber and small-caliber; as well as rapid fire and mobile fire.
"The Volga seem to value artillery more than their knights."
Unlike the Templars of the Locke Empire and other kingdoms, which emphasized knights, the Volga seems to have placed more emphasis on artillery units.
Although the role of ordinary soldiers is weakened by the large number of titans and artillery units on the battlefield, the biggest reason why Volga favors it is the various restrictions imposed on other kingdoms when selling titans to Volga.
Sometimes, the Volga Republic thought of many ways to overcome the situation.
Among them are plans to introduce large firearms such as firearms.
However, this plan was quickly shelved.
The number of titans is small, and the infantry units can only fight directly, because the firepower of the artillery cannot cause serious damage to the titans.
As a result, the Volga Republic worked very hard to improve their artillery.
They not only use them for defense, but also develop them for various attacks.
They even used titans which couldn't be used for war; for towing or loading large shells.
Oh my god!"
"If they started shelling, the fort would be destroyed in seconds!
Seeing more than two hundred cannons outside, the imperial soldiers became nervous.
Lin Qing spoke to them to calm them down,
"Don't be afraid! There are not many cannons that can hit the fort directly!"
Trot Fortress is on the hill.
The large-caliber artillery of the titan team can shoot directly, but they cannot attack upwards.
If there's any threat, it's a medium-sized cannon with adjustable angles and motors.
Motor-based shells are especially dangerous because they can fire even large cannonballs.
Awesome!
Along with the sound, a thick smoke rose from the Volga barracks.
The shells flying high in the sky made a bend and flew tens of meters away from the fortress.
Then, another shell was fired, but this time at a much closer distance.
"Are they measuring the target?"
As Lin Qing (what good) expected, the third shell fell directly into the fortress.
Fortunately, no soldiers were injured when the shells fell into the parade ground.
The artillery of the Volga Republic began to move in unison.
The Volga's guns worked with gunpowder to control the direction and angle of fire. They began firing twenty feet into the air.
"coming!"
"Everyone come down!"
Just before soldiers and knights were able to avoid it.
Lin Qing cast a spell suddenly.
"Fireball!"
Arrows and fireballs began to shoot in, hitting the shells that were falling towards the fortress.
Bang! Pang!
The magic hit the shells in the air just right, and the shells that missed their trajectory flew to the enemy's position on the other side.
Anna, who witnessed those words, was stunned: "Ah! That's so cool! Lord!"
"You are the best!"
"Commander Lin Qing! Woohoo!"
Anna, as well as other knights and soldiers in the fortress, burst into cheers. .
