Chapter 1958 Reinforcements Arrive
Li Chengxi asked Alyssa to help purchase quite a few cannons and shells.

The shells for the 122mm shaped-charge cannon alone filled several large containers. When Li Chengxi sold them to Viola, it took him most of the day to deliver them.

But for a war, these shells are just a drop in the bucket. Li Chengxi is not a professional military personnel and has no idea that once a high-intensity bombardment occurs, the ammunition will be quickly consumed.

This problem has not been exposed in the past, simply because cannons are mainly used to scare people and are not actually part of the war sequence.

We really need artillery support now, and there will definitely not be enough ammunition.

However, Zora’s idea of ​​saving ammunition was actually unnecessary.

If it’s not enough, just tell me. Anyway, the Swan is not far from Blackhand Port. You can go there and buy as many shells as you want.

This is the psychology of believers at work. Zora feels that the things Li Chengxi gave must be very precious and must be used sparingly.

So after a round of Xu Jin’s barrage, the energy cannon went silent and stopped firing.

Xu Jin’s barrage of bullets also successfully dispersed the charging enemy troops. Only then did Avarus’s army actually come into direct contact with this army.

The other side also wore armor, but the style was different from that of all the countries in the Demon Realm. The weapons they used were swords, shields, but no one squatted there with a musket and started shooting.

Maybe the cost of making muskets was not cheap for them, so they were not issued to the soldiers.

In close combat, what matters is will. In the era of cold weapons, the killing efficiency was very low. An army would often be defeated when it still had 80% to 90% of its manpower. It was not because they could not win the battle, but because their morale was crushed.

Needless to say, Avarus’s army was fearless and brave with the blessing of faith. They knew very well that even if they died, they would be participating in the holy war and would reach the realm of the Demon God after death.

When people are not afraid of death, the power they unleash is extremely terrifying.

The morale of the opposing army seemed to be very high. Facing the Avarus army who were shouting that the holy war would be victorious, this group of human troops just waved their weapons silently and coldly, like a quietly burning flame.

They have no slogans, but they have a firm will.

When the two wills collide, now is the time for a head-on confrontation.

The horses neighed on the battlefield, the galloping six-legged mechas knocked over the battle lines, the javelins made of fine steel pierced the armor, and the roars of the soldiers resounded through the sky.

In a close combat on flat ground, there is no shortcut. There seems to be no obvious gap in the equipment and training levels of both sides, and even the difference in the number of people is not particularly large.

The two groups collided and soon they became intertwined.

The archers at a slightly later position released a hail of arrows, and the enemy responded with their own arrows, with the blood instantly dyeing the ground red.

On this battlefield, Zora led a cavalry charging back and forth, the long sword in her hand was so covered in blood that its original color could not be seen.

A heavy voice rang in Zora’s ears, and she immediately jumped on the horse’s back.

A six-legged walker tried to knock over the cavalry led by Zora, but Zora jumped on it first.

The mecha is like a chariot that does not need horses to pull it. It rushes around on the battlefield, and the soldiers on it keep shooting with muskets.

But they were not prepared for someone to jump right on it.

Zora landed among the soldiers, his sword flashing with strange cold light, blood splashing, and Zora thrust his sword into a glowing spot on the back of the six-legged walking mecha. This magical mecha, which was almost as big as a pickup truck, immediately emitted black smoke, and its six legs became limp as if they were knotted, and then fell to the ground.

Zora took the opportunity to jump out again and landed on the horse again.

In terms of combat capability, Zora is much stronger than Viola. It is not a coincidence that she was chosen to be the leader of the Knights Guard, nor is it a compromise based on her background.

What’s more, Zora is now a priest of the Demon God and an archbishop at that.

She got back on her horse and immediately raised the holy symbol:
“Your Majesty’s Guard, I call upon your power!”

Two humming portals suddenly opened on the left and right sides, and a knight nearly three meters tall, covered in golden and red armor, walked out from each side.

“Kill all your enemies!”

“As you wish.”

The guards who were guarding the ideal country of the divine domain were called upon by the divine guards. They held long spears in their hands and lightly swept the surrounding human soldiers, who immediately shattered and flew away.

At the same time, Zora and the priests behind her continued to give instructions to their own people and threw curses and debiffs at the enemy.

A priest is not a weak young man like a mage who is powerless, nor is he a mere nurse who can only stand behind and replenish the health bar.

These guys are wearing heavy armor and holding swords and simple weapons. Their ability to hold the line is no worse than that of pure warriors.

But you have a pastor on your side, and the other side also has one.

Rays of divine light lit up in the enemy camp. Although the divine guards were not called in, it was obvious that they began to lift the curse sown by Zora and buff their own people.

In addition, one after another fireballs, lightning, ice storms, and acid pools began to appear in Avarus’s army, and the opponent actually had a magic army.

This was actually exactly the weak point of Avarus. As the country was almost destroyed, the Avarus army, which was not good at magic, had even less magical power after this battle. Even a few court magicians were left, let alone an organized magician unit.

Zora had to lead his priests to withdraw from the front line and concentrate on countering the enemy’s spells, which also led to an increase in casualties among the frontline soldiers.

It is indeed a little early to tell the outcome now, but the situation is gradually becoming unfavorable.

The Oak City army was not far away, but they did not open the city gates to help.

I have said it before, Subiya’s army has been frightened out of its wits. They are good at defending the city, but they have lost the morale for a field battle.

A huge shadow blocked the sunlight. Zora lifted his visor and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He saw that the aerial platform that was in the distance before seemed to be floating above the Oak City.

Subiya’s army was not completely incompetent. They kept firing with crossbows and anti-aircraft arrows, but all the attacks hit the target and did not cause any greater damage.

At this time, the crossbow’s shooting angle could not be raised higher, after all, it was not a professional anti-aircraft weapon.

The magicians in the city began to cast spells together, trying to use a flight-blocking spell to knock down the floating platform, but the effect was minimal and it just made it shake.

Could it be that these guys are going to provide close-ground fire support?
Or airdrop more troops?
No matter what the other side intends to do, the battle line is indeed beginning to become increasingly unfavorable.
