In the Silver Castle, Gawain and the two newly-appointed Grand Consuls were guarding the Magic Network terminal. News from the eastern part of the plain was forwarded through the Thorin Castle, White Sands Area, Southern Territory, and Gorgon River communication lines. and delivery, are being continuously sent to this room.
"The 'Brave' team took action, and the first-level induction of the target was successful..."
"The target entered the range of the Solinburg defense line, and the 'Brave' team successfully broke away. , the second level of induction was successful..."
"All units in White Sand Hills have completed the evacuation, and the beacon has been established..."
"The third level of induction was successful, and the Iron Throne began to move toward Moving south...the target is approaching the White Sand Hills..."
The reports coming from various execution units seemed to be following some kind of precise timetable, and were constantly coming according to the plan, but Gawain did not feel at all relaxed. , because the Thorinburg Defense Line has proven with facts that the man-made god is weird, powerful and difficult to destroy. Although the cultists used mortal power to create only a "fake" with flesh and blood, the power of the fake Obviously it has transcended the realm of the mundane and possesses certain divine attributes.
Facing such an enemy, no one dares to relax until it is truly and completely destroyed.
And Gao Wen also knows that these reports that come according to the plan, these seemingly smooth and seamless links, in fact, there are a large number of soldiers and commanders taking risks in every detail every minute and every second. Risking his life, the apparent smoothness means a precise balance like walking a tightrope——
The Kraken allies are indeed powerful, and the plan does seem perfect, but the risk will never disappear because of this. Even if its chances of success are high, risks must be taken.
Beside him, Victoria, who had always been cold and calm, could not help but tighten her face, with a hint of nervousness: "I hope everything goes well."
"It will go well... If the Krakens can't deal with it, the Second Corps supporting the White Sand Hills from Rock Fortress and the Reserve Corps from Cecil City will come on top, and we will eventually destroy that monster," Gawain said in a deep voice, "Then , we will announce the truth of this operation with great fanfare."
Bardwin nodded slightly: "People will realize the power of the new empire, the collapsed confidence will be rebuilt, and the situation will be stable. Down the road, the nobles in the border areas will be more cooperative with the transformation..."
"Yes, people will realize the power of the new empire." Gawain nodded in agreement, but added in his heart -< /p>
They will also realize that "gods" are not so untouchable.
......
On the boundary between the Holy Spirit Plain and the Eastern Territory, this long chase has lasted for more than half.
The magic track extends between the plains and hills. The heavy magic train is speeding on the track. The sky is gloomy. The hot wind from the plain area stirs up sand and dust, beating the relay piles on both sides of the track and the sides of the train. The armor, the roar of war machines tearing through the air and the loud noise of continuous firing from the fort shocked this place.In the entire world, where this giant beast passed, no birds were allowed to fly, and the surviving beasts on the plains also ran wildly to escape from their caves, as if the end had come.
The arsenal section fired frequently. Not only the powerful main gun was firing, but the defensive secondary guns installed near the main gun were also firing. The large and small acceleration rails pointed to the rear of the train, accompanied by the surge of magic power. The flash of light threw heavy cannonballs into the distance.
Under the dim skylight, the cannonballs drew eye-catching tracks in the air. At the end of the intersection of the tracks, a holy and brilliant light illuminated the plain, connecting the heaven and the earth, and the angry gods. Running wildly across the land, facing mortal fire, the chase continued.
This is no longer a battlefield that ordinary people can participate in or even look directly at. Only very far away, from a safe distance, some brave lords from the East climbed up their towers and The city wall, with the blessing of various extraordinary spells, boldly took a look at the battlefield that was constantly thundering and flashing. Then half of the people did not dare to take a second look, while the other half chanted the prayers of their respective gods. Name, reciting the name of his ancestor, praying that the fire would not burn him.
"The speed of the target has become faster," the adjutant came to Maryland and reported loudly during the Iron Throne tactical section, "The distance between us is shortening!"
At a certain time To some extent, anger can bring strength.
This is effective for people, and it is also effective for man-made gods...
Maryland looked out the window. At a right angle, he saw the scene behind the train. That holy and malicious light was shining in the north, and there was light constantly bursting out from that direction. Sweep away the rocks and woods, destroy the magic energy tracks along the way, and cover the rocks and steel along the way with lush vines and flowers.
Maryland looked back at the adjutant: "How far are we from the White Sand Hills?"
"It will take half an hour to advance at full speed, General - we may be chased before then. "Enter."
Maryland frowned, and during the conversation, the distance between the monster seemed to be getting closer.
A powerful energy beam struck from a distance and swept across the magic energy track. The shield covering the track flashed violently before being penetrated. The rune structure below the track and the nearby magic network were destroyed. Detonated one after another, before the safety device automatically fuses, the continuous explosions have impacted near the Iron Throne, even causing the speeding train to shake violently.
In a daze, the former fortress commander actually felt a sense of familiarity.
He has faced a similar crisis before - an extremely powerful enemy is attacking, and the power in his hand can only be continuously consumed. There is a huge disparity in strength. A head-on confrontation is almost a luxury. It seems that apart from courage, the only thing he can rely on is the pride brought by his noble background.
Last time, he chose the aristocratic fighting method and rushed out with a team of loyal knights to tryTu tries to save the day with a glorious duel, but is defeated in a few moves and taught a lesson about what "war" is all about.
When facing a real battlefield, he needs some more pragmatic methods.
“Order all members of the fourth arsenal section to move towards the transport car,” the commander quickly ended his thoughts and quickly ordered, “Prepare to cut off the energy supply of the terminal connecting hook and the fourth arsenal section. In addition, ...
"Ask the soldiers to turn on the fuse safety of all artillery shells and leave all hand grenades in the compartment before evacuating. "
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then straightened upright, saluted and accepted the order: "Yes, general! ! ”
In the car of the fourth arsenal section at the end, the soldiers were busy manipulating all the turrets that could hit the target. The impact just now caused violent vibrations in the car body, and the main gun was also affected by the impact. A malfunction occurred and some people were injured, but no one left their position. Until the on-board communicator came on, these veterans were still trying their best to recalibrate the main gun.
Not all soldiers were able to do so. The general’s intention was immediately thought of, but all the soldiers responded to the order immediately.
“Move quickly! Guys! "A veteran who has experienced all battlefields from the old Cecil to the present is the commander of this carriage. He already understands the general's thoughts, and his voice is particularly loud at this moment, "Obey the order, turn on the shell safety, and turn on the grenade safety. There are also extra contact mines, all stuffed into the ammunition pile! Let's play a big one! ! ”
The train did its best to increase the speed and distance itself from the giant deer. The soldiers quickly completed the task in this short period of time and passed through the third arsenal section. Entering the empty carriage in front,
Two minutes later, the commander of the third arsenal section received the order to manually release the connecting hook at the end of the train and the energy supply of the fourth arsenal section. p>
The large carriage that lost power quickly moved away from the main body of the train and was thrown far away on the track.
A few minutes later, there was a earth-shattering explosion and a series of small explosions that followed. Came from afar.
Maryland looked at the direction of the explosion. For a moment, he deeply hoped that the terrible "god" would simply die in the explosion and never appear again. , but his unrealistic idea was quickly dispelled by the holy light shining in the explosion cloud.
The giant deer was not affected by the explosion in the carriage. The overflowing powerful magic detonated the carriage in advance, and the monster only slowed down slightly, and then rushed forward again.
Maryland frowned, but just watched all this quietly.
Ten minutes later, he gave the order again——
“In the third arsenal section, personnel moved to the transport carriage, preparing to die. "
"Yes, General! ! ”
The explosion in the carriage cannot harm theA monster, but at least it can delay time.
The White Sand Hills are almost here.
As a second mushroom cloud rose in the distant orbit, Maryland looked out the window again.
The sky was terrifyingly gloomy, as if the whole world was about to fall into the night. Thick clouds came from nowhere and gathered over the Baisha area. A cold wind was sweeping across the area. Suddenly, thunder roared. Lightning exploded simultaneously.
The thunder seemed to blast into the hearts of everyone in the carriage, shocking even the most experienced, brave and calm soldiers and officers. In the faint blue light emitted by the mental protection system, almost everyone Everyone glanced at each other subconsciously, and then looked out the window in unison.
A drop of rain hit the car window, leaving a sloping trace on the surface of the crystal glass. Then, before the trace was blown away by the strong wind, the second and third drops fell... …
It’s raining.
Countless raindrops formed a curtain and poured down from the sky.
The Iron Throne rushed into the pouring rain without hesitation, just like breaking into a water world hanging upside down from the sky. Then what broke into the rain was the furious man-made god, with violent winds. The rain swallowed up all the intruders in an instant, and quickly expanded enough to cover the entire white sand hills.
The sky has been completely covered by a whirlpool-like cloud that hangs upside down. The terrifying thick cloud makes the entire area seem to have entered midnight. The cold wind is howling, the rain is pouring, and the iron throne is emanating from everywhere. Light can only dispel the nearest darkness to a limited extent, while the world further away can only be illuminated by the constant thunder and lightning.
In the light of lightning, Maryland saw countless shadows gathering in the sky, and countless weird things growing in the storm and darkness. The boundaries between the tangible and the intangible were broken, and an indescribable Structures as huge as mountains gathered together in the wind and rain, hanging upside down with dense forest-like limbs and tentacles, sweeping towards the "giant deer" that was still shrouded in light.
Even though it was in a frenzy, the "Giant Deer" was still driven by instinct to realize that the crisis was approaching. It suddenly gave up on the Iron Throne, which was already close at hand, and turned its head to the sky, with light surging between the antlers. , the dazzling energy jet swept across the entire sky.
Countless shadows fell from the sky, as if many tangible and intangible objects were cut off and destroyed by the beam, but these shadows merged into the surrounding rain in the blink of an eye, regrouped tentacles and limbs, and continued Unswervingly, it shrouded the "giant deer".
Those indescribable things gradually became clear. It looked like some kind of giant sea creature, but it also seemed to be a monster made up of countless imaginable shapes. It seemed that only Only in the craziest and most absurd works of human imagination can we piece together some of the shape of this structure. It stretches out thousands of its limbs, blocking all the movements of the "giant deer" bit by bit, and closing bit by bit. Get up, twisted and weird runes are hereThe surface of those limbs shone brightly, suppressing all the resistance of the giant deer one by one.
He is eating - Such a ridiculous and terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Maryland's mind.
But he is indeed eating - those tentacles or limbs have begun to tighten, which is an obvious posture of a predator when eating.
However, faced with such a terrifying scene that seemed to be enough to cause a mental breakdown for ordinary people, Maryland was surprised to find that his will was not tested at all, or even on the contrary... His thinking was unprecedentedly clear and his spirit was unprecedented. He was so excited that all the negative emotions and psychological pressure that he had accumulated before seemed to disappear. He was surrounded by an uplifting mood, which even contained... some kind of happiness.
The mental protection system will also produce a similar effect, but its effectiveness is far from comparable to this moment.
In such a wonderful mental state, Maryland saw those indescribable limbs or tentacles finally completely closed, and even the light lingering around the giant deer was completely blocked by the closed limbs. .
Then, all the tentacles and limbs contracted in an instant, and there was a cheer like countless voices coming together in the wind and rain:
"Lunch time!!"
