Abel and his group quickly went to the battlefield, once they arrived, a group of several soldiers were waiting for him, "You must be the reinforcements, we have been sent by the General, to protect you, please take position and prepare, the line of defense can be broken at any moment ", the soldiers had a rather dark expression on their faces, the whole operation had been carried out successfully until the last hour, once the giant creatures started to appear, the battle began to change from Little by little, they knew very well that it was likely that at any moment they would have to withdraw and the casualties would be massive, as soldiers were not afraid of death, but they were upset since they were sent to take care of the supposed reinforcements, they preferred to be at the front fighting with his companions who await their deaths in the rear.
Abel simply got out of the transport vehicle without saying a word, after choosing the best position to place the tanks, the deployment began, the tanks were placed quite far apart from each other, two pairs of mechanical arms came out of each side and clung to the On the floor, the turret of each tank was opened exposing a section of the barrel on each side of this section a metal cylinder emerged and finally the final section of the barrel was extended a little, once each tank was firmly fixed to the ground and the Turrets finished opening, a sound very similar to the turbine of an airplane began to be heard, the tubes began to emanate a pure red color and around each cannon several magic matrices appeared.
Once all the tanks finished preparing, Abel asked everyone to form a perimeter several meters away, then contacted General Miller, "General, preparations are ready, give me a target to fire on and please ask your troops that move away from the designated objective ", General Miller did not totally trust the strategy, however, it was the only thing they had at the moment, so he decided to test by choosing one of the creatures that just appeared in the field battle.
Once the objective was indicated to Abel, one of the 6 tanks, began to move its cannon, after a few seconds a loud noise resounded throughout the place, it was not the typical sound of gunpowder when firing a bullet, it was more Similar to the sound that can be heard when an aircraft manages to break the sound barrier, the soldiers who were guarding the tanks were quite confused by the sound, however, on the battlefield the situation was totally different.
A few moments ago, a huge creature was advancing through the battlefield, destroying everything in its path, seconds later, a huge crater appeared accompanied by a loud sound, what was previously a huge creature of almost 6 meters was now just a stain inside the crater even all the small invaders that were around were completely eliminated.
General Miller was not the only one surprised, inside the command room both Anthon and Jian were speechless, previously they were watching these giant creatures annihilate their defenseless troops and now they witnessed how one of these creatures was completely erased by a single shot, Jian couldn't help but ask, "Elisa, what exactly is that weapon?", Elisa replied "Sir, it's a magic-accelerated electromagnetic railgun, the firing system is fully electric, it uses electrical energy to generate a magnetic field. that fires a projectile then makes use of various spells to increase the speed until reaching the speed of sound ".
Hearing Elisa's words, Anthon thoughtfully asked, "What is the rate of fire for that weapon?" to which Elisa replied "For now it is a shot every 5 minutes, although we use heat resistant materials to create the cannons, the heat accumulated by each shot is quite high, if we shoot before dissipating much of this heat we could compromise the integrity of the barrel ", Anthon nodded in compression 5 minutes per shot from a weapon of that power was quite surprising, after all, magic began to replace conventional weapons thanks to its rate and power of fire, however, the The weapon you just witnessed can easily overcome any power of a spell, even though the destruction created was not on a large scale, it could erase any strategic objective.
Once General Miller saw the power of the cannon he began to designate targets, and order his troops to distract them while fleeing the explosion, despite the fact that each shot meant a death, the cadence was quite slow, they could only exterminate 6 creatures every 5 minutes, the number of invaders kept increasing without stopping and soon the human army would be outnumbered
.
Time passed slowly, and the casualties of the army increased, just when many thought they could not hold out any longer the withdrawal order arrived, apparently the rescue operation had concluded successfully and it was time to take a defensive position, however, many of The fighters wondered, How could they retreat, if at this moment they were in a cruel battle with the enemy, if they turned around they would be pursued, if they slowly retreated, it is likely that they would not have time to reposition themselves in defense locations, Therefore, despite the order to retreat, uncertainty reigned on the battlefield.
On the other hand, on the hill where the artillery was located, the magicians were completely exhausted, it had been several hours since the operation began and they had not rested at any time, simply the invaders seemed to be endless, while several squadrons were resting, They heard mechanical sounds from the rear, although they had already gotten used to hearing the strange sounds of mechanical artillery, this time the sound was something different, when they turned around they could see how the vehicles that had previously exposed several sections with holes were moving around, for a long time they wondered what these vehicles were for, after all the only ones that were firing were the vehicles with cannons.
The drawers with holes slid to one side, exposing more drawers with holes, after everyone finished settling in, several whistles began to be heard followed by lights coming out of each hole, the view was quite striking, everything took I finish pretty quickly so it took the magicians by surprise, on the battlefield, a fire rain began, after several whistles resounded all over the place, small objects began to fall bringing explosions everywhere, many soldiers were left Stunned by the sight, they were nevertheless awakened by the urgent withdrawal order from their respective superiors.
