Chapter 1085 Attack and Defense

"Can you go faster?" Lightning companion flew next to the cab, wishing that she could push the train. But she also knew in her heart that even if Maisie pushed this huge monster like a mountain, it would not work at all. Nothing worked, "How about adding more coal to the stove?"

"Hoho, little girl, if the pressure is too high, the boiler will explode!" The man operating the Heihe is an old man with gray hair. He doesn't look like a soldier, but like an ordinary kind neighbor. He He shouted back, "Don't worry, the First Army will not be defeated so easily, even if the opponent is a devil from hell."

Lightning pursed his lips and did not answer.

Although she knew that letting the train run at this speed was beyond expectation, it still could not reduce the anxiety in her heart. It did not take much effort to follow the railway to find the Heihe. After all, it was easy for people to ignore such an eye-catching large machine. Disaster. Except for startling the people on the car when she approached, the rest of the process went smoothly: as a member of the Witches Union, the train conductor quickly believed her words and gave the U-turn order.

But Lightning couldn't relax at all.

After the train turned to the Tower No. 1 site, she finally contacted Sylvie, and the latter's news made her heart sink: Not only did the Devil accurately seize the gap in the First Army's advance, it launched the attack even though the defenses were not yet in place. There was a sudden attack, and the main offensive force was rapidly approaching the camp from two directions. Without the support of artillery, it will be more difficult for the already compromised position to exert its strength, and the situation will undoubtedly become worse.

After hearing this, she really couldn't be as confident as the old man.

The only good news is probably that Maisie successfully found the injured Lorgar, and with Nanava's treatment, the wolf girl's life was finally safe.

"It's noisy and windy outside, do you want to come in and sit for a while? It's not easy to have to shout out every word." The other party took a puff of his pipe and leaned to the window, "Even though it's a bit uncomfortable inside, at least it's quite warm. This stove is so much better than a fireplace!"

"No...thank you," Lightning looked at the bridge that was shaking like chaff and shook his head, "No need."

Sure enough, this is already the limit of the Black River.

If we continue to accelerate at this dithering frequency, even if the boiler can survive, the train will inevitably fall apart.

"I can see that you are still worried about the situation over there... Are there any relatives or friends of yours in the camp?"

"Yeah." Lightning replied with a worried look on his face.

"I have one too," he said, stroking his beard, "and there are two of them!"

"Eh?" Lightning couldn't help but be slightly startled. She originally thought that the other party was calm and composed because he had nothing to worry about.

"I used to be a miner and gave birth to a total of four children in my life. Except for the eldest brother who died in a cold wind, the others all lived until His Majesty Wimbledon came." The old man smiled, "They used to live like mice. He is small and cowardly, but since he joined the army, he has become a different person inside and out. This is why I have full confidence in the First Army. A team composed of such people cannot be easily defeated. "

Is...is that so? Lightning couldn't help but ask, "What about another one?"

"On this train," he knocked on his pipe, "he was the first lookout to notice your approach."

The old man paused for a moment and said with some pride in his tone, "Because His Majesty Wimbledon brought these changes, I also thought about what I can do for him. Besides, staying in the mine alone is very boring. It's better to go everywhere." Let's take a walk. Later, His Majesty selected the train crew from those who were familiar with the operation of steam engines, so I signed up, and to my surprise, I was selected."

It turned out that the other party was not like her... Lightning pouted, and when he was about to say something, the phone on the console suddenly rang loudly.

"Father, I see Tower No. 1! It does look like there is a war over there. I can see flashes and flames!" The excited voice in the microphone could even be heard by the lightning outside the window.

"How many times have I told you, this is the army, don't call me father!" the old man shouted into the microphone, "Just keep staring ahead. I'm going to sound the whistle and tell them that reinforcements are coming!"

Then he raised his beard at Lightning and said, "What do you think? Let me just say that they won't be defeated that easily, right?" Then the other party turned around, pulled down the rope behind him, and shouted loudly, "Get up here!" Come on, boys!"

"Woo"

Half a quarter of an hour later, amid the long and rich sound of the whistle, the Black River rushed into the center of the melee with the huge roar it made when decelerating.

The stone needles stuck on the rails were all shattered by the impact. The collision of black stone and steel shot out a series of dazzling sparks at the dark front of the train.

Perhaps the deceleration of the train gave the enemy the illusion that they could block their opponents. Several devils approached the rails and tried to stop the steel behemoth's progress. As a result, they were swept under the wheels and crushed into a pulp.

No matter how slow it is, it cannot be resisted by the power of living things.

At the same time, the machine gun towers erected in front and behind the armored train also began to fire in all directions. The devils who invaded the camp were immediately attacked from both sides. Under attack from both sides, they were mopped down one by one without even a chance to hide. And attack methods such as bone spears are no more than scratching the Heihe's itch.

At this moment, Lightning has flown into the turret compartment.

"Sylvie, what is the target?"

"Right in front of you, about 3,300 meters away," Sylvie apparently noticed the arrival of the train and immediately reported the bombardment data, "It's wide open and unobstructed!"

There is no need to repeat it. When the train came to a complete stop, the gunners immediately got busy.

…

In Sylvie's field of vision, the enemy's main force was now within range of the camp's defense line.

Their number was not as high as that of the last battle at Wangbei Slope, around five thousand, but they were scattered very scattered, just like unbridled robbers. Because of this, the entire plain seemed to be filled with their men and horses, which looked creepy.

Farther away, the Magic Eye's detection was distorted.

There is an opaque black curtain surging on the earth. Even the magic eyes that can penetrate any blind spots cannot fully see what is behind the black curtain. It's not like the interference caused by the God's Stone of Retaliation. The Forbidden Demon Realm feels like a silent dead land. If there is something, there is something, and if there is nothing, there is nothing. The boundaries are clear and there are no ripples. It was more like something else... something alive.

But before falling asleep, there was obviously nothing there.

The long needles and stone pillars that sneaked into the camp were launched from the black screen.

This was the most depressing battle for Sylvie. From the ambush to the attack, it was full of weirdness. Her vision was also restricted everywhere, and every step of the devil seemed to be aimed at her.

She no longer bothered to think about how the enemy had quietly approached this distance, but focused all her attention on the Black River.

Since she couldn't see the specific location of the target, she only made adjustments based on the results of the shelling.

During this anxious wait, the Black River finally let out its first roar, and the scorching flames immediately illuminated its long body, and also lit up the camp in the night!

Faster than sound are cannonballs.

It penetrated the layers of air blocking the front, dragging a string of shock waves towards the black screen.
