Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 252 continues the story.

The bombers quickly broke free from the turbulence and flew around the city to check the results of the bombing, but unexpectedly, a bunch of huge fireballs suddenly shot into the sky and accurately destroyed them all. The city's fire disappeared, and the lizardman troops stood there unharmed. Glock held a bowl of meat soup in his hands, drinking it while admiring the 'fireworks' in the sky.

After everything settled down, the mages put away the magical shields that had been protecting them. All the bombs from the air raid had been deflected and exploded in mid-air by these shields. This costly carpet bombing ended without even damaging the scales of the lizardmen.

Glock waved his hand, and the green energy shield protecting the human shelter instantly disappeared, transforming back into a green dragon scale shield that flew back into his hand. Glock glanced at the human shelter and couldn't help but sneer, "They don't even care about the lives of their own people anymore? Heh, Master really overestimates them. If it weren't for my intervention, these tenders would have almost died at the hands of their own people. How ironic."

Glock then turned to his men and asked, "Is everything done?"

His adjutant, a white giant lizard, then respectfully replied, "It's all done. All human weapons and equipment have been destroyed, ensuring that these civilians in the rear won't suddenly turn into warriors and attack our rear after we leave."

At that moment, a screen of light appeared in front of Glock, with the words "Don't worry, I'm scouting the rear for you" written on it in Common.

Upon seeing this, Glock excitedly shouted, "Spirit! Spirit communication has been restored here!"

Upon seeing this, the warriors confirmed the news and excitedly shouted that with Lingzi, victory in this battle was even more assured.

At the same time, Agreed looked at the army, whose morale was high thanks to the restored communication, through the spirit, and snorted and said, "We finally made it. This should minimize our casualties."

So how did the spirit particle break through the witches' magic array? Actually, the method is very simple: brute force overcomes trickery. Originally, the tens of thousands of spirit particles created by Agreed were scattered throughout the universe to wander and draw cosmic maps. Therefore, only one spirit particle remained in Musurida. Theoretically, a spirit particle inscribed with runes cannot be sealed by any magic array or so-called means, because a spirit particle inscribed with runes has the ability to cast spells and can use the power of the universe to solve any problem.

Unfortunately, the power of a single spirit particle is limited. The domain seal cast by the witches is so powerful that it can be called a destructive magic. Therefore, a single spirit particle cannot solve the problem. So Agreed had to spend his precious five minutes skillfully creating two spirit particles to break through the domain seal created by the witches and allow the spirit particles to sneak into the magic circle and move around in the north.

The fact that he had to waste his energy on them made Agred feel a little threatened, so Agred made up his mind that apart from Ellie, who had just been discovered to be in the witch clan, all the other witches must be eliminated!

In the days that followed, Glock led his lizardman army to crush five cities in the human kingdom and was the first to arrive at the agreed meeting point, Browning, the richest city in the human kingdom. However, Glock did not launch an attack on the city rashly, but ordered his men to set up camp and rest, relying on the compressed energy liquid that Agred had provided to the army to survive while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

The battles on the other two fronts also proceeded very smoothly.

At this moment, Yorick's side was using the homemade weapons of the Kingdom of All Races to carry out a one-sided massacre of the human army.

In the command center of the human city, the highest-ranking military officer was frantically calling headquarters via radio, shouting, "We need support! Those beasts have weapons we can't understand, incredibly advanced—so advanced that anything we have is like garbage compared to them!! Hurry, we can't hold on any longer…"

Before he could finish speaking, a slightly rounded bullet struck his head and killed him instantly. Yorick, wearing full-body power armor, walked into the command post, while behind him, the gnolls, who were also fully armed, raised their nearly two-meter-long guns and fired in bursts, eliminating all the human officers inside.

Yorick picked up the radio from the officer's hand and then spoke in Commonwealth: "Die, you arrogant cowards! I will crush you all in the name of the Dragon God!"

After saying that, Yorick crushed the communication device in his hand and shouted, "Rest here for a while, eat something. I'll give you fifteen minutes, then we'll continue! We're already moving at the slowest pace. If you don't want your master to punish you, hurry up!!"

Upon hearing their leader's command, the other gnolls immediately began cleaning up the battlefield and destroying weapons at top speed, while also taking the time to eat. They were in a hurry, but there was nothing they could do about it, since their weapons and equipment were the worst.

For experimental purposes, Agreed had his Academy of Sciences replicate and innovate modern human equipment. The Academy of Sciences was an organization composed of scientific research talents from the Kingdom of All Races. These talents were usually willing to study some strange and unusual things, and their operating expenses were all provided by Agreed. Therefore, they naturally did not complain about this small request made by Agreed and immediately began the research and replication of weapons and equipment.

After studying human weapons over the past decade or so, the Academy of Sciences has come to the conclusion that this is an extremely superstitious and incapable race, because their weaponry is too rigid. As a result, the Academy has overturned all the knowledge learned from humans and instead focused solely on the research and innovation of weapons.

Ultimately, the Academy of Sciences developed the equipment now in the hands of the gnolls based on three themes: 'ultra-long-range attack', 'weapons made using energy conversion methods of mechanical transmission with low physical requirements', and 'advanced armor that can still protect the wearer well even without runes'.

The gnolls wielded the 'Exterminator-112' mass-produced machine gun, manufactured entirely in automated factories, abandoning the use of dwarven artisans. This resulted in a generally low quality and a meager lifespan of only 50,000 rounds without replacement parts. (The lifespan of a firearm is generally measured in the number of rounds fired, but theoretical and actual values ​​always differ.)

The Exterminator-112 uses electromagnetic energy to fire bullets. A one-meter-long electromagnetic barrel accelerates the bullets to approximately four times the speed of sound through energy charging. Originally, the firing power was designed to accelerate the bullets to more than forty times the speed of sound, but unfortunately, this would have increased the requirements for the strength and structure of the firearm, the material and shape of the bullets, and other aspects. Therefore, from an economic point of view, the bullets of the firearms were only allowed to have an initial velocity of four times the speed of sound.

Moreover, this design has a great advantage: energy saving. Initially, the design was to use magic crystals as the power source to power the acceleration orbit, but this design was later abandoned because magic crystals are high-level resources for mages and warriors to cultivate. Moreover, whether magic crystals are obtained from captive magical beasts or artificially synthesized, they are extremely expensive. There is no need to waste precious resources on such a pest control weapon. Therefore, they had to shift their research focus to small-scale controlled nuclear fusion devices.
