Many years later, everyone who has fought against Cecil's army and survived will firmly remember a nightmarish sentence, that is -
The bomb fell.
But at this moment, Heaton didn’t know this.
He didn't know what those things falling from the sky were - they looked different from the "sky fire" launched by the Cecil people. They were not wrapped in light cyan light groups, but looked like stones. Falling, he didn't know what the voice that suddenly came from high in the sky meant, because the word "express delivery" seemed to be coined.
But he was still instinctively aware of the dangers of those things.
The Immortal Master of All Things immediately raised his hands high, and powerful dark lightning instantly condensed into shape in the air. Countless dense black electric snakes gathered into a huge storm, thundering from the sky. Sweeping, trying to sweep away those things falling from the sky.
This was his instinctive reaction, but the moment the lightning storm came into contact with those things, he realized that he had made a big mistake——
Among the falling things It contains far more powerful power than "Sky Fire", and the sweep of the lightning storm instantly detonated all the falling objects!
He only saw a dazzling bright light flashing past, and then the bright light instantly spread to the entire field of vision. A terrible chain explosion occurred, and hundreds of falling objects fell in Red Maple City. The sky above was intensively detonated, and chaotic and disordered primitive energy surged in——
Looking from a distance, people could clearly see that a round of arcane flashes and shock waves suddenly appeared in the sky above Red Maple City. The bright nova, the magic shock generated by the simultaneous activation of hundreds of arcane explosions gathered into an egg-shaped energy cloud. This huge cloud seemed to be slow but in fact it was rapidly approaching Hong Maple's city shield. A weak black electric arc seemed to try to stop it, but was instantly swallowed up and extinguished by a powerful surge of energy. In just a few seconds, the "egg" of energy full of destructive aura touched the red maple shield. dome node.
The fallen priests inside the red maple shield saw an even more terrifying sight.
A boiling fire cloud slowly pressed down from the sky. It first came into contact with the red maple shield. The shield, which had been dimmed by the Cecil people's continuous bombardment, was overloaded and ruptured in an instant, and then The fire cloud began to lick the remaining magic clouds and high-rise buildings in the city after the shield collapsed. The illusory and hot flames began to burn from top to bottom, and the solid towers and fortresses actually melted like wax...
< p>"The shield is broken!!"Someone finally exclaimed, but the exclamation only lasted for a moment and then stopped abruptly. Heaton saw a bright flash of light flashing from nearby. ——After losing the protection of the shield, the Cecil people's artillery bombardment began to directly bombard Hongfeng's city wall. Those chariots had approached the distance enough to shoot accurately. Where the flash of light passed, only the A piece of broken bricks and some fine piecescrystal.
The dark leader became a little confused. What happened before was too sudden, and the city fell too quickly. It seemed that in just an instant, he and the army of gods he had finally organized were about to fall. Stepping into destruction, he looked at the plains outside the city. He saw those cold and ruthless steel machines still faithfully executing the will of their operators: march, fire, keep marching, keep firing...
No, it shouldn't be like this!
Hiton suddenly became furious. He let out a high-pitched roar that did not sound like a human voice. The black robe all over his body was instantly torn by the dense crystals and twisted and swollen limbs!
In order to achieve perfect evolution and adjust himself to the best posture, he has been deliberately controlling the progress of his own evil, but now, he has finally given up this suppression.
The path of great evolution must be carried out - the ideal he has fought for his whole life, his painstaking plan, the new world he has pursued so far...how could he be defeated by a bunch of cold and soulless things? Steel? !
The ragged crystal cluster giant suddenly jumped down from the city wall, like an angry demon, and rushed towards the steel chariots that were still carrying out the approaching bombardment, and the soldiers controlling the chariots had already discovered it. This reckless intruder caused several tanks to slow down and turn in an instant. The turrets pointed at the huge target higher than the top of the tanks in a burst of creaking mechanical operation. Then the acceleration track flashed and crystallized. The shells were fired with a bang.
Boom! boom!
Amidst several loud noises, two artillery shells hit the target. Heaton smashed one of them away with his huge fist, but the other one exploded on his shoulder. The terrible explosion will He (it should be it now) staggered during the impact, and the entire arm was destroyed in the flash of light. However, it only took two steps forward to regain its balance, and a new arm was already squirming among the broken flesh. regeneration.
The giant with strong vitality raised his arm and pointed towards the tank closest to him. Countless thick vines instantly pierced the ground and entangled on the tracks and turret of the tank. There were roars inside the steel machine, and the vines were freed one by one, but another black lightning fell from the sky, penetrating the shield on the side of the chariot, penetrating the layers of steel and the engine core inside, and finally let this The tireless machine stopped.
These machines seem to be nothing more than that.
A burst of joy arose in Heaton's heart, but the next second, continuous explosions struck from all directions, completely engulfing it.
The tank destroyed by it was one, but behind that one were ten, and behind the ten were hundreds. Behind the hundred there was an artillery regiment, supported by naval guns, and loyal demons. The Able Corps and the White Knights Chapter.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Heaton felt that his body was rapidly falling apart. Neither his powerful body shield nor his limb regeneration ability could withstand this attack, which was equivalent to the concentrated bombing of hundreds of great magicians. In his collapsed consciousness, what emerged in Heaton's mind was still thatThese great plans remain its grand ambitions.
However, the war machine is not an aristocratic army. It never cares about personal ambitions and passion - no matter whether the ambition is noble or not, no matter whether the passion is humble.
The Sixth Company eliminated minor accidents on the offensive road and continued to move forward.
The war machine operates faithfully on this scorched earth.
The huge dragon shadow passed by the clouds, and the crystal-clear vertical pupils reflected the city that was gradually disintegrating under the gunfire.
"Use natural disasters to deal with natural disasters..."
"In any case, "express delivery" is indeed a very interesting word. "
...
In the rear command vehicle, Solderin's figure appeared in the holographic projection above the Magic Network communication terminal. The Steel Ranger team he led brought First-hand information from outside the battlefield: "It was observed that cluster wanderers were out of control everywhere - the cluster command node in the Red Maple area has disappeared! "
Gawain nodded, and Amber's figure emerged from the air next to him. The half-elf lady sighed: "It seems that the guy who suddenly jumped down from the city wall to challenge the tank was the enemy. The supreme commander - how reckless. "
"Perhaps the transformation of crystal clusters will always affect people's sanity, even those priests who believe that all things will eventually die are no exception. ”
Charging a cluster of tanks alone is so reckless that it makes one’s scalp numb. Gawain admits that even Gawain Cecil himself and those first-generation grumpy old pigeons didn’t admit it. I must dare to do it... After thinking about it, the reason can only be attributed to the damage to the brain nerves caused by the crystal cluster mutation.
"Order the attacking troops to establish positions immediately after taking control of the Red Maple City Gate. Seal the city gate, switch from attack to defense, and preheat the burners. The next step should be to deal with those infected crystal clusters that are out of control." Gawain turned around and ordered, "Pay special attention to the east side, where the crystal clusters returning from the Boulder City are coming for reinforcements. The cluster giants are the largest elite force in the Red Maple region. Even if they are out of control and weakened, they may still pose a threat to us. Although we don’t know why they haven’t arrived yet, we must not take it lightly. ”
Beyond the order, Gawain also had some doubts in his mind - in his original battle plan, the biggest challenge and pressure that the legion would face was in the later stages of the battle, when the elite enemy besieging Boulder City When the army entered the battlefield and attacked one's own position from the flank, it was said that the crystal cluster army was not only the most powerful in combat, but also the commander was suspected to be a transformed king ** or an officer from the east. He was far better at leading troops than those who didn't know how to fight. The Dark Priests, once they enter the battlefield, Cecil Legion must allocate a considerable part of its forces to deal with the pressure on the flanks.
But for some reason, until the Red Maple City is broken, or even until the rest of the country. The cluster giants began to lose control, and the elite enemy force that was supposed to appear did not appear. The Steel Ranger team placed at the eastern intersection did not even see the shadow of the enemy force.
Of course. Jean Cecil LegionAdditional losses and pressure were avoided, but it also made Gawain full of doubts——
Why didn’t they appear? Could it be that this change of family...this tactic of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao failed to work?
With this concern, after the order was issued, Gawain immediately activated another Magic Network terminal. Above that terminal, what appeared in the holographic projection was Wright's unusually tall and strong figure. figure.
"The White Knights have been assembled and on standby," the Patriarch who went to the front line said solemnly, "and can carry out missions at any time."
"Go to Boulder City immediately to check "The situation," Gawain said, "I will go with you."
The offensive operation in Red Maple City has ended, and the next step is to carry out a rescue mission in the direction of Boulder City.
For things like rescue, of course, priests who are good at rescuing the wounded and dying should be sent to do it. Considering that the situation there is unknown and the difficulty of the task may be relatively high, the most capable priests should be sent there.
As a patriarch who came from a lower-class background and believed in doing things himself, Wright insisted on going to the battlefield in person, so Gawain arranged for him to be included in today's operation, considering that there might be surprises in Boulder City. Due to the complicated situation outside, Gawain decided to go there himself.
Ten minutes later, three armored trucks hanging Cecil's emblem and Holy Light runes, engraved with prayer scriptures and holy patterns, and equipped with Holy Light impact turrets on top left the frontline stronghold and accompanied them. Responsible for escort and combat missions are also twenty-two "Warhammer-I" tanks equipped with additional burners and six "Steel Ambassadors", plus a fully organized infantry battalion.
In the armored truck, Wright, wearing a thick White Knight armor, carefully inspected his warhammer and the Holy Light Shock Hand Cannon equipped on his arm. Emily's small figure was in the light behind him. Floating around, he greeted Gawain who was sitting beside him.
Such a scene made Gawain always feel that Wright was a substitute messenger...
He had to say something to dispel his unwarranted association.
"Wright, what do you think of this war?"
"I don't have much opinion on the war, I'm just a priest," the Patriarch shook his head and said As straightforward and simple as ever, he replied, "If I must say it, I can only feel sorry... This is a meaningless disaster, too many innocent people died, and one of the most fertile areas of the kingdom was laid waste... "
"The burned land will always sprout new shoots," Amber on the side rushed to say before Gawain spoke. After speaking, he glanced at Gawain, "Is that what you said? ?”
“Yes, new shoots will grow from the burned land...” Gawain breathed out slightly, but looked at the desolate landscape outside through the crystal blocks inlaid on the truck compartment. wilderness.
Even in this polluted land, there are still green plants spreading and growing. After all, the evil pollution only targets humans, and the vegetation is not actually affected. In the wilderness on both sides of the road, he saw greatA large area of lushly growing fields - these were once the property of the local noble lords. Only the scattered ears of wheat and a little bit of brown rice after harvest belonged to the untouchables. However, now, the nobles on this land are gone, and the common people are gone too. The deified human beings no longer need the food that they have spent countless blood and sweat on. The precious farmland is so barren, and weeds have begun to crowd out the seedlings and grow more lushly than the food.
This place has not been burned, but in Gawain's eyes, it has also been burned in another sense.
The royal family and the power of the Eastern Territory were burned up in the fire of this war.
Will Anzu sprout new shoots?
