Chapter 1155 Battle of Taqila (Part 1)

As the alarm went off, the front line immediately entered the highest alert state in accordance with emergency response.

"Quick, quick! Throw away the tools in your hands and find the nearest refuge passage!" The soldiers in charge of evacuation guided the engineering team to evacuate the construction site. "Don't push, don't look around! Remember, no matter what happens outside, you must not Leaving the shelter without permission!”

"Vault 6 is full!"

"No one can fit in No. 7!"

"Go back and go to the next shelter. Don't block the passage. Everyone move!"

This is not the first time that something like this has happened. Although the soldiers yelled one after another and the atmosphere at the scene seemed quite tense, order was not lost.

Nearly two thousand workers dispersed like a tide and entered one underground bunker after another along the pre-set evacuation channels. These temporary shelters opened by Lian were located behind the defense line and were covered with steel plates on the top. They were not only accessible. , and can also effectively resist spear attacks and machine gun fire. As long as the outer circle is not lost, hiding in it means safety.

After the crowd retreated, the originally brightly lit construction site was quickly shrouded in darkness.

"The evacuation of the engineering team is basically completed, the light control is normal, and the First Army is entering the position." Sylvie quickly looked around and conveyed the latest situation to each unit. At this moment, the observation room set up above the theater headquarters can be said to be the busiest place on the front line. More than ten phones on the long table were ringing in turn, making people overwhelmed; the staff officers responsible for answering the calls sat around the table to confirm the news. Sylvie will be notified only when the importance of the matter is determined.

On the other side, many staff officers summarized the information and fed it back to the sand table or map to provide key basis for the command's decision-making.

If Sylvie was the "eyes" of the army in the past, now the observation room built around her is the information center of the entire army. As long as she is in charge, the operational efficiency of the First Army can be several times higher than usual.

"Yes... yes, I understand. Miss Sylvie, there is a call from Fanner of the Artillery Battalion, hoping that you can provide the enemy's position and test firing coordinates."

"Heihe No. 1 and No. 2 also sent the same request!"

"Let them wait a little longer," Sylvie glanced at the front line. The Black Shadow's advancement speed was not fast, probably a little slower than walking. It had just entered the ten-kilometer shooting circle. At this rate, it might take five or six hours to get close to the front line of the position. Therefore, the top priority is to find out the intentions behind the devils - what kind of tricks do they want to use the blind spot of the Stone of Retribution?

When magic detection fails, eyes are undoubtedly the most reliable method.

She picked up the listening talisman and said, "Lightning, Maisie, can you hear my voice? Where are you now?"

"We just took off, and Maisie is right above my head." After a while, another talisman came from the other party's answer, and at the same time, there was a high-pitched alarm sound, "What happened? The devil is attacking us. Is there a general attack?"

"The posture looks very similar, but the enemy interfered with the observation of the magic eye, and the range is very large. I guess it is the same as last time, I am afraid it is a large stone of divine retribution."

"Understood, I'll go over and take a look."

"Leave it to us Goo!"

Compared to the tense and busy atmosphere in the observation room, in Lightning's eyes, the battlefield at this time looked completely different.

The fire underfoot was shrinking little by little, as if it had been swallowed up by the night. The land in the distance was even darker, looking deep and silent.

The Fertile Plain seems to be still sleeping, with no sign of the coming war.

If it hadn't been for Sylvie's alarm, it would have been hard to imagine that the enemy had already rushed towards them.

"Maisie, turn on night vision mode!"

"Cuckoo!"

I saw the white pigeon's feathers rapidly expanding, wrapping the body into a ball, and then a huge head emerged from the feathers, with round eyes that almost occupied the entire eye socket.

"The owl has transformed!"

"Then let's go——"

Lightning held the "giant owl" above his head with both hands and flew toward the northeast.

However, before approaching Taquila, Sylvie's urgent call suddenly sounded from the talisman, "The investigation is cancelled, you two come back quickly! The demon slayer is in action!"

Lightning suddenly shuddered, and her limbs seemed to be quite stiff. After trying her best to suppress the fear in her heart, she bit her lip and replied, "Even so, it shouldn't be that easy to find me. And... I am now If we return, we won’t know what the devil wants to hide with the sacred stone, right?”

"But--"

"Don't worry, it can't catch up with me with the flying magic stone alone. Just avoid its large-scale magic ban."

Lightning clenched her fists - even though her palms were already sweating, she didn't want to keep running away like this. More than half a year of battlefield experience made her understand that she was not a brave person. Not only the God's Punishment Witch, but also ordinary old people like the train conductor were much braver than her.

But she is not facing all this alone. Behind her, there are Maisie, Lorgar, Joan... and many partners supporting her, giving her the courage to start over after facing herself.

From a little bit of recovery to detecting the devil again, she crossed many levels and finally arrived at the place where she fell half a year ago.

There are only two hurdles left to overcome.

Flying before the Demon Slayer's eyes, and...

Give it a hard blow - in return for hurting itself!

"Maisie, I'll leave the other party's movements to you." Lightning unbuttoned his collar, forced the owl into the flight suit, leaving only one head exposed, and then directly entered the speed of sound - a distance of only ten kilometers. She can keep flying at high speed all the time!

"Zi...be careful, the enemy...Zi...has noticed you..." Probably due to the influence of magic synchronization, Sylvie's voice instantly became intermittent.

Even without this reminder, Lightning knew that he had been exposed - as long as the devil was not deaf, he would undoubtedly have heard this blast that crossed the sound barrier.

But she moves faster than the sound, which means that by the time the enemy hears the explosion, she's already over their heads.

After a few breaths, Maisie's eagle eye captured the target.

"That monster is right in front of you!"

Under the dim moonlight, before Lightning could find the demon slayer, he saw a circle of black light suddenly spread out!

There is no doubt that the low-light vision of the high-level devil is still better than Maisie's - the other party not only saw her, but also got as close as possible to her flight path, and directly launched the forbidden demon territory when the interception failed.

In an instant, she increased her speed to the limit and changed from level flight to dive!

For a moment, Lightning even felt that the eerie and cold black light had caught her ankle. But the illusion quickly dissipated, and in one breath, she had left the black light far behind her. After breaking through the demon slayer's interception, there was no longer a threat in front of her. She pulled herself up again and traversed the entire devil's position in a straight arc, taking in a panoramic view of the strange movements below.

Under the dim moonlight, Lightning saw two large sacred stones that had been cut into cylindrical shapes and were being pushed forward like rolling stones. The size of the stone pillar is astonishing, at least twenty meters long and nearly three meters high. At first glance, it looks like a fallen bell tower. Behind each pillar were seven or eight spider demons arranged neatly. They crowded together and crawled slowly, pushing the Stone of God's Punishment towards the first army little by little.

More crazy demons followed closely behind, seemingly using the stone pillars as moving bunkers.
