"F*ck-!" The tall young man was the first to yell out a foul word. Watching the supporting Astra Militarum earnestly, he said in disbelief, "This is 2,000 musketeers-!"
Croft, Christian, and the other also noticed overwhelming support for the Astra Militarum. With a rough estimate, there were around 2,000 Guardsmen, and all of them were speechless.
Originally, they thought that Sebastian was also like them. He took out a thousand musketeers, that should be the majority of the main force. However, now the facts were telling them, they were just the vanguard.
***
Gajos's surprise on the battlefield was not much different and there was also some confusion. So many alien invaders just arrived and attacked, how could there be so many casualties?
What he didn't know was that each planet master sent a thousand people, this was proposed by Croft in advance. Who would have thought that Sebastian could dispatch more, even two or three times the number?
Gajos had keen eyes, as he glanced at the Astra Militarum who came for support.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The other party doesn't seem to be as strong as the tree demons and female warriors just now, so don't be afraid of a large number of the other party."
Hearing this, his subordinate also cheered up.
"Yes, these guys with strange weapons are only a lot in numbers. Their strength is very weak."
"I already tried it, their physique is similar to that of ordinary people. The only thing that's threatening is the weapon they have in their hands."
"Rush over, rush into the camp of these guys, it's time for us to kill-!"
Card Mage shouted one by one.
Earlier, there were also dozens of Astra Militarum Guardsmen killed in the siege, so they were no strangers to the Astra Militarum.
"There's no point in having more people. Can more ordinary people stop us Card Mages?" An intermediate-level Card Mage said loudly, "Charge, charge with me-!"
"Kill these alien invaders-!"
"Kill-!"
Under the agitation of the crowd, Card Mages frantically attacked their way towards the Astra Militarum.
They were not stupid either; there was no option for a larger number of reinforcements, so they rushed to Elizabeth's position. There were just about a thousand people there, so it was better to rush to kill.
It was just that at that position, strict precautions had already been taken. At the forefront, there was a huge shield erected.
"Prepare to fire-!" Cross had a serious face and was in charge of commanding!
Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!
The Astra Militarum pulled the trigger, but not all of them fired, as they were divided into several teams. Team after team started shooting to make sure that the bullet kept going and to increase the efficiency of their shots. Hundreds of bullets enveloped all the Card Mages who rushed over.
The few Card Mages at the front were greatly alarmed, as they had no idea that this kind of weird weapon was able to shoot so far away. The effective range of the rifle of the Astra Militarum was 400 meters while most of the cards launched by Card Mages had a range of action of 100 meters or less.
So the strategy of the Astra Militarum was to attack the rushing Card Mages with full strength in the range of one hundred meters to two hundred meters.
"AH-!" The front-most Card Mage let out a scream.
He was hit by dozens of bullets all over his body and died on the spot. There were two more screams of the two Card Mages in the back, they met the same end.
For a few hundred Card Mages, the death of three Card Mages didn't count for much. Card Mages who were behind rushed over with even more readiness.
The intermediate-level Card Mages also started to attack, there were some Card Mages who had energy shield cards, so they directly deployed the energy shield to resist the attack. The other Card Mages also kept unleashing their cards to fight against the kinetic energy of the bullet.
For a while, the scene was very intense, as all kinds of booming sounds kept ringing out. For Card Mages with defense, there were no further casualties.
But the Astra Militarum did not panic. Under the command of Cross, they were still divided into several teams.
BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!
Without any carelessness, Gajos personally attacked and the powerful card blew away the dense rain of bullets.
"Hahahaha, that's all. This power is still weak; it's not even enough to scratch us. The only advantage should be the ability to attack at long range, but it's not much." After fending off a dozen waves of bullets, the Card Mages gradually relaxed their spirit one by one.
They were even teasing each other. Frankly speaking, a single shot was not a threat, it couldn't even break the energy shield. Over time, all the Card Mages were advancing little by little and they were approaching a distance of one hundred meters.
After getting within a hundred meters, they would be able to launch an attack on the Astra Militarum. However, some of the Card Mages were starting to realize that something was not quite right, every time a Card Mage released a card, it cost energy and perception, so it was impossible to do it indefinitely.
But from the beginning until now, for the Astra Militarum's bullet attack, there was no stopping at all and the density didn't even drop by half. The power of a single bullet was not as good as a single card, but bullets didn't take much effort, while it cost energy and perception every time a card was cast.
To the limit of one hundred meters, there were already weaker Card Mages, who were feeling that most of their perception had been consumed.
"Get ready to change bullets." Seeing Card Mages entering the 100-meter limit, Cross calmly ordered.
The Astra Militarum began to quickly change bullets into Starfall Iron Alloy bullets, its power had increased several times. Within a hundred meters, the Astra Militarum also did not dare to be careless and decided to use the alloy bullets. As there was not enough vibranium in storage now, so this bullet was also used as little as possible.
As the chief of the Card Mages, Gajos also discovered at this time that something was not quite right, but he didn't think too much about it. It didn't occur to him that the opposite side didn't need to consume energy to shoot bullets, so he still rushed up with the Card Mages.
"You are not taking us seriously?" The 2,000 troops behind them supported the Astra Militarum.
At this time, Allard was in command. Seeing that the Card Mages were attacking Cross's position, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"All ready, take the initiative to attack-!" Allard ordered in a loud voice.
The Astra Militarum formed a tight formation and the squad moved quickly and without disorder.
Gajos did not forget about the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum behind him. Firstly, he wanted to defeat the smaller team of the Astra Militarum on Cross's side; after that, he would go back to deal with the support army of 2,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum.
400 Card Mages were sent to set up a defense at the back to block these 2,000 Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum. On the other hand, he wanted to overwhelm the position of the Astra Militarum in the front as soon as possible.
"The other party is looking down on us." Allard snorted coldly. While personally leading the team, he sped up.
The Astra Militarum was better than the Card Mages and the most obvious advantage was the long-range attack. All of them could fire around four hundred meters.
"Use the alloy bullets." Allard saw the Card Mages led by Gajos, and they were already 100 meters away from the front position, he immediately ordered.
"Open fire and use all your strength." Allard shouted, "If you can't get past this line of defense within ten minutes, go home and eat sh*t, every one of you."
The surrounding Astra Militarum did not respond, all of them were used to his commanding temper. There was no need for him to say it, each one was more optimistic than anything else. They hurried up frantically and they attacked with full power.
A mass of 2,000 bullets covered the ground like a locust, the Card Mages were startled. It was like they were facing a great enemy, so they used all kinds of cards to stop this first wave of attacks.
However, the attack of bullets was continuous and these were alloy bullets. After one wave, it absorbed a lot of energy from the Card Mage's card. Only three waves later, some Card Mages were shocked to discover that the release of their card had no power, while the bullets from the other side continued.
The Astra Militarum marched quickly to the 100-meter limit and then stopped moving forward. They lay down on the ground and started shooting in place,
Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!
The sound of intensive shooting continued and the sky was full of bullets. It landed on and around the four hundred Card Mages, it punctured and sent all the nearby grass and rocks flying. Under the attack, the Card Mage's energy was exhausted.
Pffffffff-!
Ten or so Card Mages were shot one after another. They didn't even scream, as they were killed by several bullets in one wave at the same time.
