Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

The aerial hell 1/2

Alfons gathered his team and divided the area of the artillery zone into 4 sectors, with 30 soldiers each.

All would be in charge of the sergeants in his hand. The only one who will be in reserve will be Alfons because, as Unterfeldwebel, he must always be active throughout the battlefield.

All the soldiers quickly began to prepare, as they feared that at any moment, the elves would initiate an attack.

To begin, they prepared sacks of sand and created machine-gun nests to be able to comfortably attack enemies that came from the air.

Because the Valkyries had magical barriers, the half-elves quickly prepared ammunition with black stone. This was distributed by the soldiers who had to have a special charger.

Because with that ammo, would their trump card be when the Valkyries got close enough.

Throughout that day they were preparing, so at night, they decided to take some time off, for this they divided into shifts.

First, each platoon would leave 15 soldiers in the middle of the night while the other 15 rested, at 5 in the morning it would be the exchange with the troops who had slept.

That way, there would always be soldiers watching to avoid surprise attacks, also as a Alfons precautionary measure.

He prepared reflectors which were always on at night to find or search for strange silhouettes in the sky.

At midnight, Brandon, the leader of Platoon Un, was watching the skies using a reflector to see strange things.

Because of the late hours of the night, he was yawning, and it was at that moment that he realized that there was something strange in the sky.

So he quickly moved the searchlight towards what had caught his attention and he can see thousands of species of gigantic birds that were approaching where they were.

Without wasting time, he quickly started running and turned the crank of the air alarm, this caused the entire military base to prepare for just a few seconds.

Unlike the first attack, the Valkyries had made this time, everyone was prepared and more or less had an idea of where to shoot in order to kill quickly.

Because the searchlights only illuminated part of the sky, the soldiers quickly set up fires so that they could illuminate the dark night sky as much as they could.

Alfons, who was already outside his tent, took his Sb-1 submachine gun and placed a magazine with explosive bullets.

That is because they do not know what kind of enemy he was going to face, so he prepared himself as best he could.

After a few minutes, the black figures in the sky began to take shape so they could see some species of quite ugly animals.

One of the soldiers of the Republic of Gallus recognized the animals as gargoyles, this because most of the constructions of the Republic of Gallus use gargoyles as beings of protection.

The news that they were going to face gargoyles did not take long to reach the ears of the military barracks, who quickly ordered that everything be prepared because the number of gargoyles that were approaching was extremely overwhelming.

With weapons at the ready and all the soldiers prepared, when the first gargoyles were close to the firing point of the machine guns.

The order was given to open fire so countless firing noises could be heard throughout the artillery field.

Alfons, who was aiming his submachine gun at the countless gargoyles in the sky, gulped some saliva as these gargoyles began to descend.

Well, it was not only the large amounts of gargoyles that were in the place, but they had also made a strange roar like an almost infernal sound.

It was at that moment that the real slaughter began, as the gargoyles were not only attacking the artillery area but were also attacking the entire battlefield.

That is why the half-elves who did not have modern weapons were at a constant disadvantage, because their magic did not seem be very effective against those beasts.

Because they give them a coating of magic scales which could fiercely resist any magic attack except for sharp ground attacks.

But in spite of that, they bravely resisted the attacks of the thousands of gargoyles, since the true objective of the gargoyles was the artillery area.

Unfortunately, the gargoyle trainer, who was controlling everything using magic runes, realized that his animals were extremely vulnerable to the weapons that humans were occupying.

He couldn’t understand how mere humans had managed to create a weapon powerful enough to be able to destroy gargoyles.

He knew that they were humans because some Valkyries managed to survive the first attack they made, so they believed that the gargoyles could against them.

Although they did not know it, in the place of human artillery, the casualties were too many, but despite this, the wounded soldiers fired their weapons with courage.

Versus thousands of gargoyles were in the sky.

“Damn gargle.”

Alfons yelled as he charged his bayonet against a gargoyle that was devouring the head of a nurse.

Although the woman is already dead, Alfons wanted to rescue her corpse, as she had to return home to receive a burial and some medals for her bravery.

When his bayonet entered the gargoyle’s head, it immediately fell dead as the edge of the steel easily destroyed its scales.

The scenes how are you were repeating during the three hours that the attack lasted, when the gargoyles were completely killed, only 50% of the artillery base remained alive.

Unlike the attack of the Valkyries, the gargoyles were beasts that act on instinct so they do not mediate danger.

That is why although they were quickly eliminating them, they did not escape because they wanted to continue trying to kill the humans as they had been ordered.

General Maddox wasted no time in quickly requesting the Human Liberation Army to send in a zeppelin with reinforcements.

Well, the situation would be completely out of control, divine that if they received another one of those attacks, the deaths could be almost 90%.

Knowing that if the artillery line falls, the half-elves will not be able to continue to hold the battlefront so the Z zone would be completely lost.

Upon hearing the description of what had happened, the central command quickly prepared the reinforcements to send them as soon as possible.
