Chapter 1367 Thunder and Rainstorm

The dark clouds are gathering, covering the entire sky above the Greta Fortress at an astonishing speed. In less than a minute, the originally clear sky has been shrouded in a cloud like nightfall. The wind filled with moist water vapor blew between the plain and the hills, and even the sound of trees shaking from the direction of the jungle sounded like the blurred sound of splashing water—soldiers on the ground who were desperately resisting the attack of the mutants They quickly noticed this extraordinary change. The soldiers who still had enough energy looked up at the top of their heads, and immediately saw the "smiling face" that stretched across half of the sky and was still enlarging.

"Then what the hell is that?!" A knight captain with a hideous scar on his cheek looked at the floating smile in the clouds in astonishment. The fighting knight felt hairy all over his body, "That cloud is grinning at me happily! And it looks like a girl's face!"

A howl of missiles piercing through the air came from nearby, and a battle mage next to the knight captain who was in charge of suppressing the firepower of the team fired a series of arcane missiles in the direction of the enemy, and then the Transcendent who had already cast spells to the point of confusion also He looked up, rubbed his eyes subconsciously, and muttered as if in a dream: "Am I dying... I heard that when people are dying, they will see the faces of the closest people in the sky... My grandfather died. And then turned into a beautiful girl in the sky?"

The battle mage hadn't finished speaking when a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from nearby, and then a knight in light armor rushed over from the corner of the bunker, and the young herald knight shouted loudly: "The king's Order! The friendly firepower is about to arrive, leave this area immediately, and the whole army evacuates in the direction of Greta Fortress! The king's order, the whole army withdraws to Greta Fortress!"

"Withdraw?!" The knight captain grabbed the messenger knight who was about to run in front of him, "Friendly army? Where did the friendly army come from? Didn't it mean that there are no reinforcements?"

"I don't know! Follow orders!" The messenger knight said quickly, turned around and quickly ran to the other side of the bunker, continuing to loudly convey the direct orders of King Odris.

The order received just a moment ago was to hold the position at all costs, but at this time there was an instruction for the entire army to retreat, which made the knight captain a little confused, but this did not affect his obedience to the order in the slightest——quickly dispelled all doubts in his heart. After pressing down, the experienced captain grabbed the battle mage who was obviously distracted beside him, and his resonant voice echoed on the front he was in charge of: "Retreat!"

On the long and narrow wasteland leading to the wasteland, between the layers of bunkers built to fight against the aberrations and the blocking steel rods, the soldiers of the Gaoling Kingdom, who had been fighting bloody battles for almost a day and a night, began to retreat quickly, and retreated while retreating. He tried his best to leave a large number of magic traps and mana crystals in a critical state on the front line, and in the temporary command post behind this front line, King Odris kept sweeping the sky, and was getting more and more dangerous. In the dense rain, pay attention to the changes in the continuously gathering clouds.

"The order to retreat has been issued, Your Majesty," the commander's voice came from the side, "the aberrations are quickly occupying our previous position."

"Very well, we are also preparing to withdraw from the fortress," Odris nodded, and said quickly, "Remember to leave some explosives—it turns out that those overcharged Rebecca crystals can play a very important role even if they are not fired as shells." great effect."

The commander immediately accepted the order, but the prince Lorraine next to him couldn't help asking: "Father,

Are we really going to get out of here completely? Perhaps some elite rangers can be left behind to cooperate with Cecil and Siren..."

"You don't understand their fighting style—especially the Cecilian's," Odris shook his head, looking at his heir who had just grown up and lacked much experience, "fighting against the Cecilian on the battlefield The best cooperation is to get out of their range of firepower as soon as possible, the sooner the better, if you have seen the video data, you will know that the new magic cannon they use is completely different from the 'long-range firepower' you know concept……"

Soon after, the temporary headquarters where Odris was located also began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the flag representing the Gaoling Kingdom came down from the quick wall built by the "Turn Mud into Stone" technique, and behind them, The dark clouds covering the entire battlefield have reached a critical point. The sky, which is almost the same as the night sky, is churning with substantial moisture. Between the thick clouds, there is a huge figure shrouded in faint light. Suddenly flashed through the darkness.

Azalena in the form of a dragon passed through the thick clouds. She was covered with mechanical armor made of steel. The dim light of the beacon light flickered on and off at the end of the dragon's wings and tail, and the surroundings looked quite scary. The clouds spread around her as if consciously, without affecting her flight and observation of the ground at all—after circling briefly twice, Azarena activated the magic net terminal on her chest.

"They have already evacuated... Well, there are actually people who can understand the 'signal' sent by those sea monsters. The 'savvy' of those humans is really extraordinary. Byron, prepare to cover fire, those monsters have already entered Target area, listen to my report—"

A moment later, a sharp whistling sound pierced the thick sky, and from the direction of the Aldo Holy River in the distance, several "bright lines" shining with light blue light rose into the sky, and they drew one after another as if they were about to be chopped into pieces The arc trajectory of the sky flies straight to the vast wilderness northwest of Greta Fortress, and standing in the direction of Greta Fortress, you can see a series of flashes suddenly appearing in the dark clouds covering the sky, like thunder Traveling through the clouds, another spark fell from the sky—after a short delay, the sharp whistling from the sky turned into a terrifying explosion rising from the ground.

On the earth, just "broke through" the last line of defense of human beings, the aberrants who occupied the positions held by the soldiers of the Gaoling Kingdom like a tide were suddenly swept away by successive explosions and deadly shock waves. The commanders behind these monsters They didn't even have time to feel the slightest joy of breaking through the defense line, and immediately received the signal feedback of the death of a large number of frontline troops.

On the towering walls of Greta Fortress, King Odris, who had just retreated to a safe place, had not had time to take off his cloak and dry his hair from the rain when he heard a loud noise coming from the northwest direction. The terrible thunder-like sound rolled between the sky and the earth. Even at such a long distance, it still shocked this ancient and glorious barrier. The windows protected by the fine steel frame were trembling slightly, and the storage racks and weapon racks were shaking. With a disturbing sound of rubbing, the prince Lorraine ran to the observation deck. The huge mushroom cloud rising from the land in the distance and the bright arcs in the clouds made this man who had just set foot on the battlefield not long ago and hadn't understood much yet. Contemporary Art" young people were dumbfounded.

He even trembled slightly in the face of this mighty force that was like a natural disaster—but not because of fear, but pure shock.

King Odris also came to the watchtower. When he watched the fire covering the earth and saw the "truth" shells projected from the direction of the holy river by the Cecilian expedition fleet, the king was actually no better than his son. How calm is he? After all, all his knowledge of Cecil's modern weapons is limited to the video materials in Cecil's official propaganda and a few imported small and medium-caliber magic cannons. That's a completely different concept.

"Father..." Lorraine finally fully understood the necessity of his father's order to retreat the whole army just now, "That kind of powerful bombardment can also be produced by the 'magic cannon'? That's what we are using... "

"The Cecilians call it 'truth', and some of their soldiers prefer to call it 'contemporary art'. The small and medium-caliber magic guns we can import are far from the main guns. "Odris said in a low voice, "but compared to the power of those giant cannons, I hope you can start thinking about a deeper problem from now on."

Lorraine didn't understand the meaning of his father's words for a while: "A deeper question?"

"What kind of country can create and maintain such power," Odris put his hand on Lorraine's shoulder, but his eyes passed over his son's shoulder, looking down at the The soldiers of the Kingdom resting in the courtyard of the fortress, "I'm really envious..."

...

"The first wave of attack landed, and the landing point was within the predetermined range, and the error is acceptable," Byron was standing on the platform of the captain's seat on the bridge of the Winter Winter, and Azarena's voice came from the demon in front of him. The holographic projection above the terminal flickered with light, showing the land covered by artillery fire. In the continuous flashes, the filthy tide formed by the aberrations continued to rise like a huge boulder. "Spray", a large number of hideous and twisted flesh and blood wrecks and dust rising from the sky, looked thrilling, "you can continue the bombing."

"The bombing is effective. Charge all the main guns at full power and fire at full speed for 15 minutes," Byron immediately ordered to the artillery commander beside him, "The engineering ship is ready to dock, and then immediately repair the hub tower that was detected in the air earlier. We will restore direct communication with the Kingdom of Highmountain and the Empire of Silver before sunset today."

"Yes, sir!"

The army is running quickly like a precise and efficient machine, and the expeditionary fleet led by the Winter is throwing amazing firepower on the river, while in the sky in the eastern region, thick dark clouds are still spreading, and they are starting to move due east Spread quickly.

Byron glanced at the dark clouds covering the sky, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Cassandra standing beside him, with a somewhat strange expression on his face: "Speaking of the 'signal' you sent to the defenders of the Gaoling Kingdom It was really understood..."

"The main reason is that His Majesty Gawain communicated well with the southern battlefield before," Cassandra laughed. "Of course, General Vanessa's battlefield wisdom is more important..."

"To be honest, I don't think it's 'battlefield wisdom' to hang a smiling face bigger than a city in the sky. That thing can scare people with average endurance out of their psychological shadows—that's all you can say' It seems to me that it is almost a miracle that the news of the friendly army coming to aid was successfully conveyed," Byron twitched his lips, "It is also fortunate that the opposite party has a good understanding..."

"No way," Cassandra spread her hands helplessly, "After arriving here, I found that all the magic network hub towers on the border have been destroyed by aberrations, the magic environment on the battlefield is still unprecedentedly chaotic, and the communication equipment of the Winter No. We can’t get in touch with Greta Fortress, and the front line is almost blown out of their brains, so it can only be a stopgap measure. Anyway, we won’t discuss the details, and the final effect is not bad.”

"...Anyway, next time I hear you say 'battlefield wisdom' and 'responsibility', I must inquire carefully." Byron sighed, and then returned his attention to the distant battlefield. In the aerial reconnaissance screen sent back by Azarena, he could clearly see the process of the attack of the aberrant army being gradually disintegrated under the fire bombardment, but he knew that the Greta fortress could not be defeated by these fire support alone. The entire narrow plain to the north was taken back.

From Greta Fortress to the Eastern Temple of Stars advance base, the entire southern battlefield has a narrow and complex front line, and this front line has been turned into a war by the firepower of mutants and mortal defenders in the past winter. A fragmented, chaotic land full of ruins, trap belts, and magic disorder points. On such a broad and complex battlefield, fire support has its limit.

"After this round of firing is over, it's time for the expeditionary force led by General Vanessa to 'land'," Byron glanced at the mechanical clock fixed on the pillar next to him, and said to Cassandra in a deep voice, "according to the plan , we will first ensure the security of the northern area of ​​Greta Fortress, and establish a frontline base after you capture the area, and then my marines will ensure the security of the northwest border of the Gaoling Kingdom here, and completely block the The Legion of Aberrations going south in the Ogure area, and you continue to move to the east by means of rainfall until you meet the Millennium Legion of the Silver Empire—is it okay?"

Cassandra closed her eyes slightly, and communicated with General Vanessa, who is currently controlling the weather environment at a high altitude, in the spiritual echo. After a while, she opened her eyes and nodded slightly to Byron: "I have confirmed with General Vanessa again. After the follow-up action, she is only waiting for your signal to play."

"Okay." Byron exhaled lightly, then watched the ticking hands on the mechanical clock, felt the vibrations from the main artillery bombardment of the ship under his feet, and calmed down like never before.

Fighting side by side with allies from the deep sea - this was not in his original plan, and due to the amazing differences in technology trees, fighting styles, physiological structures, etc. They couldn't make a tacit and exquisite cooperation. Instead of formulating a lot of tactics and finally being in constant situations due to poor communication on the chaotic battlefield, both he and Vanessa believed that the problem should be solved in a simpler and rougher way.

In the first step, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet with long-range and heavy firepower launched firepower to clear the field on the Aldo River, and smashed all the most powerful shells within the range of its range, directly blasting the vanguard of the distortion body, clearing a large enough area. out of the landing field.

In the second step, before the aberrants reacted, the soldiers of the Siren Expeditionary Force directly sent justice from the sky—on the premise of sufficient preparation and the premise of switching forms in advance, well-trained Krakens can Carry out airborne operations without worrying about casualties. They will quickly establish frontline positions on the landing field emptied by Byron. It is close to the "water environment", which is convenient for Krakens to play.

The pointer on the mechanical clock reached the last tick, and the constant roar of gunfire on the river stopped.

"Signal," Byron ordered in a deep voice, "it's time to rain."
