Chapter 628 After Burning

Years later, everyone who has fought and survived Cecil's army will firmly remember the nightmarish words that—

The bomb fell.

But Heaton at this moment doesn't know this.

He didn't know what those things were that fell from the sky-they didn't look like the "Sky Fire" that the Cecils launched. They weren't wrapped in pale blue light, but fell like stones, and he didn't know that either. What did the voice suddenly say from the sky mean, because the word "express" seems to be made up.

But he was still instinctively aware of the dangers of those things.

This deceased master immediately raised his hands high, and the powerful dark lightning instantly condensed into the air, and countless dense black electric snakes gathered into a thick storm, sweeping across the sky with thunderous force, wanting to make those Everything that fell from the sky was swept away.

This was his instinctive reaction, but the moment Lightning Storm came into contact with those things, he realized that he had made a big mistake—

Those falling objects contained 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 glare flashed by, and then the glare instantly spread to the entire field of vision. A terrifying chain explosion occurred. Hundreds of falling objects were intensively detonated over the Red Maple City. There was no chaos. The primordial energy of the sequence surges toward—

From a distance, people can clearly see that a bright nova formed by arcane flashes and shock waves suddenly appeared over the Red Maple City, and the magic shock generated by the simultaneous activation of hundreds of arcane explosions gathered an egg. The shape of the energy cloud, this huge cloud seems to be slowly approaching the city shield of the red maple, there is a weak black arc that seems to try to stop it, but it is instantly swallowed and extinguished by a powerful surge of energy. , After just a few seconds, the "egg" of energy filled with the aura of destruction touched the dome node of the red maple shield.

The fallen priests inside the red maple shield saw even more terrifying sights.

A boiling fire cloud slowly pressed down from the sky. It first touched the red maple shield. The shield, which had been dimmed by the continuous shelling of the Cecils, was overloaded and ruptured in an instant, and then the fire cloud began to lick the shield. After the collapse, the remaining magic cloud and high-rise buildings in the city, illusory and hot flames began to burn from top to bottom, and the solid towers and fortresses melted like wax...

"The shield is broken!!"

Finally someone exclaimed,

But this exclamation only lasted for a moment and then stopped abruptly. Heaton saw a bright flash flashing from the vicinity - after losing the shield protection, the artillery of the Cecils began to bombard the city wall of Red Maple directly, The chariots had come close enough to shoot accurately, and where the flash passed, only a broken brick and a few pieces of crystal were left.

This dark priest is a little dazed, what happened before was too sudden, the city fell too quickly, as if it was just a moment, he and the army of gods and evil he had managed to organize were about to be destroyed, he looked towards On the plains outside the city, he saw that those cold and ruthless steel machines were still faithfully executing the will of the manipulator: march, shoot, keep marching, keep firing...

No, it shouldn't be like this!

Heaton suddenly became furious, he let out a loud roar that was not like a human voice, and his black robe was instantly torn by the dense crystals and twisted and swollen limbs!

In order to achieve perfect evolution, in order to 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 implemented - the ideal he has worked for all his life, his exhausting plan, the new world he has pursued so far... How can he be defeated by a pile of cold and soulless steel? !

The ragged giant of the crystal cluster suddenly jumped off the city wall and charged towards the steel chariots that were still carrying out the approaching artillery bombardment like a furious demon. The soldiers who controlled the chariots had already spotted this reckless intruder. Several chariots decelerated and turned in an instant, and the turret pointed at the huge target higher than the top of the chariot in a crunching mechanical operation, followed by a flash of light on the acceleration track, and the crystalline shell was launched.

boom! boom!

With several loud bangs, two shells hit the target, Heaton smashed one of them with a huge fist, and the other exploded on his shoulder, and the terrible explosion knocked him (it should be it now) ) staggered from the impact, and the entire arm vanished into ashes in the flash, but it only took two steps forward before regaining its balance, and a new arm was already squirming and regenerating rapidly among the broken flesh.

The powerful giant raised his arm and raised his hand towards the chariot closest to him. Countless thick vines pierced the ground in an instant, entangled in the tracks and turrets of the chariot, and there was a burst of roars from the inside of the steel machine. , broke free the vines one by one, but another black lightning fell from the sky, pierced the shield on the side of the chariot, penetrated the layers of steel and the core of the engine inside, and finally stopped this tireless machine. down.

These machines seem to be no more than that.

A burst of joy rose in Heaton's heart, but in the next second, a series of explosions came from all directions, completely submerging it.

The chariot that was destroyed by it was one, but behind that one was ten, and behind the ten were a hundred, and behind the hundred was an artillery regiment, supported by naval guns, a loyal Magic Corps and a White Knight Chapter. .

In the roar of artillery fire, Heaton felt that his body was rapidly torn apart. The powerful body shield and limb regeneration ability could not resist the attack that was equivalent to the concentrated bombardment of hundreds of great magicians. In the consciousness that was about to collapse, Heaton Still those great plans, still its grand ambitions, come to mind.

However, the war machine is not an aristocratic army, it never cares about personal ambitions and blood - no matter whether the ambition is noble or not, whether the blood is humble or not.

The 6th Company eliminated minor accidents on the way to the attack and continued to move forward.

The war machine operates faithfully in this scorched earth.

The huge dragon shadow swept across the clouds, and the crystal clear vertical pupil reflected the city that was gradually disintegrating under the fire.

"Using natural disasters to deal with natural disasters...

"Anyway, 'express' is a really interesting word."

...

In the rear command car, Solderling's figure appeared in the holographic projection above the magic net communication terminal, and the steel ranger team he led brought first-hand information outside the battlefield: "I observed crystal clusters everywhere. Rogue out of control phenomenon - the cluster command node in the red maple area has disappeared!"

Gawain nodded, Amber's figure emerged from the air next to him, and the half-elf lady sighed: "It seems that the guy who suddenly jumped off the city wall and singled out the tank before is the highest commander of the enemy—really Reckless."

"Perhaps the transformation of crystal clusters will always affect people's reason, even those priests who will eventually die."

A person attacking a tank cluster is so reckless that it makes one's scalp tingle. Gawain admits that even Gawain Cecil himself and the first generation of irritable old pigeons may not dare to do it... After thinking about it , this reason can only be attributed to the damage to the cranial nerves caused by the cluster mutation.

"Let the attacking troops set up their positions immediately after taking control of the red maple city gate, block the city gate, and turn the rest of the attack to defense, the burners are preheated, and the next step should be to deal with those out-of-control cluster infected people," Gao Wen Turning around and ordering, "Especially pay attention to the east side. The crystal cluster giants who returned from Boulder City are the largest elite force in the Red Maple area. Even if they are out of control and weakened, they may pose a threat to us, although I don't know why they have not arrived yet. , but don’t take it lightly.”

In addition to the order, Gawain also had some doubts in his heart - in his original battle plan, the biggest challenge and pressure the legion would face was in the later stages of the battle, when the elite enemy army besieging the Stone City entered the battlefield and attacked itself from the flank. At the moment of the position, it is said that the crystal cluster army is not only the strongest in combat, but also the commander is suspected of being transformed from the Kingdom Army or the Eastern Territory officers. The leader of the army is far superior to the dark priests who do not know how to fight. Once they enter the battlefield, The Cecil Corps had to allocate a considerable part of its forces to deal with the pressure on the flanks.

But I don't know why, until the Red Maple City was broken, and even until the rest of the cluster giants began to lose control, the elite enemy army that should have appeared did not appear, and the Iron Ranger team placed at the eastern intersection did not even see that. Shadow of the enemy.

This of course allowed the Cecil Corps to avoid additional losses and pressures, but it also made Gawain doubtful—

Why didn't they show up? Could it be that this change of home... this tactic of besieging Wei and saving Zhao didn't work?

With this concern, after the order was issued, Gawain immediately activated another magic net terminal. Above that terminal, Wright's unusually tall and robust figure appeared in the holographic projection.

"The White Knights have assembled and stood by," said the Patriarch who went to the front line in a deep voice, "and can carry out missions at any time."

"Go to Boulder City to check the situation immediately," Gawain said, "I'll go with you."

The offensive operation in Hongfeng City has ended, and the next task to be performed in the direction of Boulder City is a rescue mission.

For rescue, of course, the priests who are good at saving lives and wounds should be sent. Considering that the situation there is unknown, the task difficulty may be relatively high, so the priests who can fight the most should be sent there.

As a patriarch who was born at the bottom and advocates doing things himself, Wright insisted on going to the battlefield personally, so Gao Wen also arranged him in today's operation, and considering that there may be unexpected and complicated situations on the side of Boulder City, Gao Wen Wen decided to go there himself.

Ten minutes later, three armored trucks hung with Cecil's emblem and holy light runes, engraved with prayer scriptures and holy patterns, and equipped with holy light shock turrets on top left the frontline stronghold, accompanied by those in charge of escort and combat missions. There were twenty-two Warhammer-I tanks with additional burners and six Iron Ambassadors, plus a full infantry battalion.

Inside the armored truck, Wright, who was wearing a thick white knight armor, carefully checked his warhammer and the Holy Light Shock Hand Cannon on his arm. Gawain, who was beside him, greeted him.

Such a scene made Gawain feel that Wright was a stand-in...

He had to say something to dispel his unwarranted association.

"Wright, what do you think of this war?"

"I don't have much views on war, I'm just a priest," the patriarch shook his head and replied with the same bluntness and simplicity as always, "If I have to say it, I can only regret... A catastrophe of any kind, too many innocents have died, and one of the most fertile areas of the kingdom has gone to waste..."

"The burned land will always sprout new shoots," Amber on the side hurriedly said before Gawain spoke, and then glanced at Gawain, "Is that what you said?"

"Yeah, sprouts will sprout from the burned land..." Gawain exhaled slightly, but he looked at the desolate wilderness outside through the crystal blocks inlaid on the truck's carriage.

Even in this polluted land, there are still green plants spreading and growing. After all, the pollution of the gods only targets humans, and the vegetation is not affected. In the wilderness on both sides of the road, he saw large expanses of lush fields—those that were once the property of local noble lords, only the scattered ears of wheat and a little brown rice after harvest belonged to the untouchables. The nobles are gone, the commoners are gone, the godly human beings no longer need these foods that have spent countless blood and sweat, and the precious farmland is just like this.

This place has not been burned, but in Gawain's eyes, it has also suffered another significant burning.

The power of the royal family and the Eastern Realm was burnt out in the karmic fire of this war.

Will Ansu grow new shoots?
