The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1072

The expression of Hades and the others hardened at the soldier’s intel.

“Hand me the computer,” Hades instructed impassively.

Ever since Hayes joined the war, the authority to command the entire Doveston Allied Army had been handed over to Yosef, Karl’s deputy.

The entire Eastern Allied Army’s decision to attack and defend was entirely based on Yosef’s commands, while Hades played a supplementary role at most.

“The amount of destruction wrecked upon the defense tower is too widespread. They can’t possibly make it to the underground bunker in time!” Hades announced with much difficulty.

Joshua, who was standing at the side, was already looking skyward.

“It’s here.”

They raised their heads toward the bright sky of the north.

A dark speck at the far horizon could be seen approaching them steadily, accompanied by a shrill noise.

It was the Remdikian’s new barrage of attacks.

Hades silently observed the soldiers around him running frantically as they attempted to seek shelter in the ditch and underground bunker.

It was too late for him to say anything at that moment.

This round of attacks would wipe out at least one-sixth of the Eastern Allied Army’s soldiers.

A conservative estimate of the number of casualties would be about eighty thousand.

A series of deafening booms sounded when the first cannonball exploded upon contact with the ground.

The blast consumed the terrified soldiers in flames, forming an infernal hellscape.

Joshua had already used Formation Crusher to set up a restraining barrier just before the cannonball dropped down on them. Then, Hayden shattered the ground they stood on and brought Hades along as they sank under the ground.

Everyone could still sense the tremors of the ground despite being more than twenty meters underground.

It was evident how horrific this round of Remdik’s attacks was.

Silence only resumed after more than ten minutes of continuous bombing.

The darkened soil split open from the bottom of a deep explosion crater of a land ravaged by war.

Joshua pulled Hades with him as they burst out from the underground and landed above.

Hades fell to his knees and was reduced into a trembling mess.

He gripped the scorched land beneath him as he let out a furious wail.

Joshua and Hayden could not offer him any comfort from his grief.

Ten minutes ago, the land was still vastly populated with soldiers, sturdy vehicles, and defense fortifications capable of decimating everything in its path.

However, nothing was left of it now.

There wasn’t even a complete corpse as far as the eye could see. Most of them were simply shredded pieces of charred flesh.

This was the horror of a saturation attack.

One would be doomed upon being overwhelmed by guided missiles.

In an ordinary battlefield, it’s typically unlikely that one dies from the impact of an explosion unless it is detonated at a close distance. Even if one were hit by debris, there would still be a chance at survival.

However, even if the first cannonball only caused one to lose consciousness during a saturation attack, the subsequent bombs signed their death warrant.

The successive dropping of aerial bombs decimated everything on the land’s surface.

There were no tragic scenes of wailing and cries for help on this battlefield.
