Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 254 Nuclear Bomb

As the most economically prosperous city in the world, Browning's defenses are second only to the capital, possessing not only modern armed deployments but also a full range of heavy firepower.

Unfortunately, even if this city were impregnable, it would surely perish today, because it has encountered a group of opponents who are on a completely different level.

Yorick ordered his men to unleash miniature nuclear launchers at the city walls. Terrifying explosions filled the air, and mushroom clouds rose and fell across the city. Then, kobold warlocks spread their wings and flew into the air, casting spells to indiscriminately bombard the outer defenses. At the same time, lizardman warriors, armed with weapons, stormed into the city and began a one-sided massacre and destruction.

However, at this moment, a group of huge iron boxes appeared in front of the monster army. Later, with Lingzi's interpretation, they learned that this type of weapon was called 'tank'. After the tanks appeared, they immediately began to bombard the small nuclear bombardment operators behind them. This time, the human attack finally worked. Hundreds of jackal soldiers were injured and lost their combat ability in this round of bombardment. This was the first time that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races had suffered huge casualties on the front line.

However, these tanks quickly attracted the attention of the lizardmen forces, and Glock immediately ordered his adjutant to send giant lizards to clear out those annoying metal boxes.

So the giant lizard adjutant led his men in a charge at the tanks. In the blink of an eye, he ran to the largest tank and smashed the cannon barrel with a single blow, deforming it. Then, he used his battle aura to amplify his power and tore off the tank's front end like opening a can, exposing the driver inside. The giant lizard then grabbed them and put them in his mouth. After all, don't forget that humans are also known as 'tender skin'!

So basically all the soldiers' corpses were stuffed into the monsters' bellies. Of course, they weren't actually hungry, just craving people. Anyway, these soldiers were going to die no matter what, so it was better for them to die in their bellies. In fact, most of the monsters did just that. After all, once the young soldiers were ruled by His Majesty the Dragon God, they would probably have to say goodbye to this delicacy. So this was their last chance to feast!

This action instantly aroused the giant lizards' appetite—no, their fighting spirit. They immediately charged towards the tanks, launching an assault on the canned goods. The tanks, of course, reacted and turned their cannons to fire at the giant lizards, but unfortunately, the tanks' fatal weakness—their lack of maneuverability—became their death knell.

The tank's gun traverse speed is nowhere near the movement speed of the giant lizards. Moreover, those monsters that have reached the Grandmaster level can fly. As for maneuvering and kiting, that's nonsense. Most tanks have a theoretical top speed of only 70 kilometers per hour. The giant lizards can run much faster than the tanks. It's the monsters that are kiting the tanks.

So, the fate of the tanks... I think I don't need to say more, right?

Browning truly lived up to its reputation as the most prosperous city in human history. It took Argrede's army a full six hours to completely wipe out all the human soldiers in order to conquer it, with the help of spiritual information.

Of course, the main reason for the six-hour battle was that humans were very cunning. After the defeat was certain, the humans immediately turned into guerrillas and started a tug-of-war with the monsters in the city. Unfortunately, with the help of the information from the spirit particles, it was useless to swim in any direction. It was indeed a bit troublesome, and a full five hours were wasted in order to kill these remnants of the monsters.

After completely conquering Browning, Glock, as usual, organized the civilians and sent them to areas not affected by the war. However, while the relocation was still underway, Lingzi suddenly issued a warning: "A long-range attack comparable to super-class magic has been detected and has been intercepted. Please be aware of the danger."

As they were talking, a small sun suddenly appeared above the city, lasted for several tens of seconds, and then disappeared.

But then a gust of hot wind swept in, and Glock reacted immediately, throwing his shield out. Instantly, the shield transformed into a green light shield that enveloped the human settlement area, and he instructed the mages to use magical shields to protect the humans who had not yet been evacuated.

Glock's judgment was correct. Radioactive dust and shockwaves quickly enveloped the entire Browning. Although these aftershocks were just a negligible warm breeze to the monsters who had been training for a long time, they were deadly radiation that could cause them to die in agony for the weak humans.

Glock then had no choice but to direct his men to safely and methodically evacuate the human civilians from the city of Browning. The monster army was busy until dawn the next day before things finally calmed down. Looking at the small creatures on the ground that had died from radiation, Glock complained with some bewilderment, "Doesn't the human emperor care about the lives of his subjects? Honestly, we came here to fight a war, and now we have to clean up their mess. Anyone who knows us would think we came here to wage an invasion, but anyone who doesn't would think we came here to wage a war of liberation!"

Sitting next to him, Blitz smiled and comforted him, "Alright, let's rest first. This ordeal will slow down our march again. Let's try to continue tomorrow. This battle is really boring. There's no decent challenge at all, and we have to take care of those tender skins like a nanny. It's more tiring than boring mining work."

Yorick chimed in with a complaint: "Who says otherwise? Let's hurry up and rest, finish all this as soon as possible so we can go back and report to our master."

So the monsters all rested, and with the shields set up by the spirits and mages, the warriors slept soundly.

However, when the monsters woke up the next day, they received shocking news: the human kingdom had launched an expedition against the Kingdom of All Races at some unknown time!

The monsters knew perfectly well that the humans were using a low-level trick—a diversionary tactic to force them to retreat—but they had miscalculated. The troops that had come here were just the most insignificant force in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races. Upon hearing this news, Glock even turned to the southern border and made a prayer gesture with the rituals of an ancient sage, blessing, "May those poor little guys die a quick and painless death, otherwise it will truly be a disaster."

The monster army then marched directly toward the human kingdom's capital, winning battle after battle and quickly arriving at the human kingdom's capital, 'Akaron'.

Meanwhile, in southern Xinjiang, the story is also unfolding in an interesting direction.

Humanity's elite army, the 'Iron Legion,' is invading the southern border region. Lingzi had naturally discovered their movements long ago, so the residents of the surrounding towns had already evacuated. However, some special beings did not leave.

In the northernmost town of Southern Xinjiang, a minotaur was tending to his battle axe, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Beside him were warriors exuding a chilling aura. These men of various races were the 'police' of the nearby town, and the reason they had gathered here was naturally because of the human army that had invaded this area.
