Chapter 806 Phoenix City
After about 3 breaths, accompanied by a roar, the meadow in the center of the square suddenly exploded, and a huge shadow sprang out from the ground, rising to a height of tens of meters.
Both Jacob and the soldier were startled, and their faces turned pale. Even the veteran who kept his eyes closed behind him opened his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his cloudy pupils.
Byron hit his head on the safety frame, yelling "it hurts", and complaining that Tang Fang's actions would scare people out of a heart attack.
To be honest, neither he nor the veteran had ever seen the host of the swarm, and he was very surprised, but in order to maintain his demeanor in front of Jacob, he deliberately suppressed the shocking emotions in his heart, and felt that no matter what Tang Fang did, he should not feel it. Unexpectedly, because that guy is a person who is good at performing miracles.
Although they thought so in their hearts, when the black shadow emerged from the ground and then retracted its head, turning into a huge worm, they couldn't bear it any longer, with more or less strange emotions showing on their faces.
The matter did not end like this. In the southeast corner of the square, another tunnel worm emerged, tearing up the plastic runway. The huge head shook in the sky a few times before slowly retracting, stabilizing the body with the huge spikes under the jaw. , spitting out puppies one after another at an extremely fast speed.
This is still not the end, roaring again, dust flying, and another tunnel worm drilled out from the ground, occupying the other corner of the square, spewing out golden figures and soldiers wearing power armor.
Jacob hadn't seen those men in golden armor and those leaping aliens. He had seen those soldiers in power armor, because they were the ones who saved him from the execution ground... although the armor was slightly different.
Zealots, Stalkers, Mechanized Sentinels, Pups, Hydralisks, Banelings, Roaches, Marauders, Firebats, Hellbats...
In just a few breaths, the entire square was filled with the army of the three clans, and they rushed to the periphery like a tide.
As the golden light passed by, a motorcycle ordered to investigate was split in two, and the driver didn't even have time to utter a throaty cry. and become a dead body on the ground.
A large number of puppies swarmed around, tearing open the guardrail with their sharp claws, and jumped onto vehicles, oil tanks, and low warehouses. Flock quickly to where there are people.
The Hydralisk wagged its tail, making indentations on the ground. Taking advantage of the situation, the aircraft that had just risen was blown up, turning into balls of fire and falling from the sky, triggering a series of explosions.
An even harsher siren sounded throughout the base, and the light of the searchlight cut through the night sky and fell on the northern area of the base, illuminating the entire square and nearby areas.
Hellbats have become cars,
Carrying a machine gunner and rushing along the road. On the roof are black shadows passing quickly, and there is an elegant golden light. Red dust rolled on the road. The iron is flowing like a tide.
Beside the tunnel worm, six siege tanks stretched out their mechanical arms to stabilize the chassis. The artillery guide rails were opened and slightly lifted upwards. With a rapidly surging arc, the flames flashed sharply, and the plasma balls drew parabolas in the air. It fell on some important facilities of the base and exploded into a sea of flames.
Mechanical Sentinels divided the incoming mechanized troops into disjointed groups. The roaches and marauders that followed turned them into piles of corpses on the ground.
Whether it's the ground or the roof, a faint light flashes from time to time. The figure of the stalker flickered, and he used the particle fragmentation gun to detonate the flying units and ground vehicles.
Explosions and flames spread inside the base, and the light storm and shock wave released by the ammunition depot ignited swept across the entire west area, causing a frightening earthquake and leveling several nearby warehouses for storing vehicles and equipment.
There are a large number of heavy weapons deployed outside the missile base, but there are only some light mechanical sentries and mechanized infantry in the inner area, which can't stop the advance of the troops of the three tribes.
The pure white handkerchief on the palm of Lieutenant General Harvey, the supreme commander of the base, has been soaked with sweat. But the cold sweat on his forehead was still flowing, just like the staff behind him couldn't stop his slightly trembling hands from nervousness. He also couldn't stop the sweat from pouring out of his glands.
He hates sweating, it's uncomfortable. But besides sweating, what could he do now?
The equipment destroyed by Jacob's traitors was about to be repaired, but at this juncture, a riot suddenly broke out inside the base, and that Tang man actually sent a deadly swarm of insects inside.
Although the command center has been transferred underground and it is difficult for the opponent to break through for a while, they have no way to clear the enemies inside the base.
Most of the weapon systems deployed at the missile base were used to guard against external threats, and there were only some light-weight weapons internally. Otherwise, it would not have taken so long for his subordinates to suppress the rebellion of Jacob and others.
Fortunately, there is an endless stream of bugs outside, seemingly endless, coming in waves one after another, and the inside has been opened up as a second battlefield by the opponent, what can we do now?
Regardless of the consequences, detonate the various missiles stored in the base and blow up those annoying bugs to the sky, or evacuate through the fast track and abandon the entire base?
He doesn't know how to choose.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Harvey scolded "Damn it" three times in a row, clenched the handkerchief tightly, and the sweat slipped from his fingers and fell drop by drop on the shiny floor.
A black staff officer gritted his teeth and said, "General, the No. 3 silo is still operational. How about cooperating with the missile vehicles deployed in the southern area to deal a devastating blow to the entire area."
Another staff officer frowned and said, "What about the soldiers on the ground? Let them die for those bugs?"
The black staff officer said: "This is better than losing the entire base."
"Do you know how many bugs there are outside? It's easy to blow up the entire area, but if this self-destruction of the defense line can't completely eliminate the source of the bugs, what do you think we will face next?"
The black staff officer stopped talking.
At this moment, the chief of staff who had been silent all this time said, "We can still turn to one person for help."
All the staff officers raised their heads together: "Who?"
"Archimonde."
Harvey raised his hand and put it down again, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think that Tang man will give us a chance? He can launch a global war within two or three hours, so how could he ignore Archimonde... "
The chief of staff said, "Do you have a better way?"
Harvey shook his head, paused, and turned to look at the communication officer: "Help me pick up Phoenix City."
When the garrison command was at a loss for what to do about the current situation, Jacob on the special operations transport ship no longer knew what words to use to describe his current mood.
He originally thought that the progressive insect swarm outside was a consumption strategy, and Captain Tang wanted to eat away the vital strength of the garrison corps bit by bit. Ruthless and merciless leveling of missile bases.
He was wrong, the insect swarm outside was simply closing the door and beating dogs, while the soldiers inside were blooming in all directions. To use a vulgar word to describe it. It wasn't enough to poke the front door, so I went to insert the back door.
Few people are willing to taste the taste of sandwich biscuits. Therefore, this is no longer cruel, but insidious.
Although it is said that soldiers are not tired of deceit, it is always somewhat unethical to get a few big bugs to explode people's chrysanthemums.
He could clearly kill Harvey and the others slowly, but he wanted to use a fairy to guide them when they were dying. He was really shameless and despicable.
He picked up the clean military uniform in the soldier's hand and walked to the bathroom.
Byron sighed: "I knew it would be like this. He is always good at turning a very serious matter into a point of helplessness."
The veteran tapped the cigar with his fingertips. Shaking off the cigarette ash from the front end, he put it into his mouth and took a hard sip, without expressing his opinion.
………………
The Amari Continent is located in the southern hemisphere of Cabreto. It is the least populated of the four continents. The vast land environment and dry climate have created the largest desert terrain on the entire planet.
The environment of the Dalaran Desert is harsh and inaccessible, but a city stands in the deepest part of the desert.
Yes, a military fort surrounded by cannons and towers.
It is Phoenix, a city that many people have heard of but few have seen. It is also something that fans of the United Kingdom of Turanx are proud of.
The information about Phoenix City is even less known than the missile base on the Hedak continent and the "Ares" ground-based defense system, and it belongs to one of the most secretive departments in the entire Cabreto military system. It is directly subordinate to Hymn Will, and even Tyron, Turamon and others have no jurisdiction.
If the independent fleet of the Lionheart King is the outer wall of the king's power, and the son of war is the inner wall of the king's power, then Phoenix City is the final line of defense of the king's power.
Hal's Palace is located in Nestor Continent, and Phoenix City is located in Amari Continent. The two are separated by thousands of miles. In the eyes of ordinary people, even the most elite troops and the largest regiments of the Planetary Army are stationed here. It is also impossible to quickly support a war on another continent, the so-called "final line of defense". A bit of a misnomer.
Only a few senior Army generals who know the inside story understand why Phoenix is called the final line of defense.
The 3rd Army stationed around Phoenix consists of 11 reinforcement brigades and 3 aviation brigades. It is composed of 2 guard regiments, a small number of naval forces, and special operations forces. The task of this army is not to send troops to support key battlefields at critical moments, and even the major cities in the coastal areas of the Amari mainland are not within their protection range. The entire army has only one mission, to protect Phoenix City.
Phoenix City is a city, but not a city. In a sense, it is more of a fortress, a military fortress built with soldiers and various defensive facilities.
In the core area of this fortress is a towering pyramid facility, which is different from those civil or commercial buildings made of concrete. The interior of the entire pyramid is a hollow structure similar to a patio, and a triple-helix tower soars to the sky. , protruding from the top of the pyramid, bending out a series of alloy coils near the stratosphere.
The tips of these huge coils are a series of circular structures, dotted like candied haws at the ends of the tower's branches.
Except for the core pyramid, similar tall towers are also built in the stepped ring-shaped building belt on the periphery, but the size is smaller than the main tower in the middle of the pyramid, and it spreads outward in a radial manner.
Different from the internal environment of the missile base, even the core area with the strictest security measures is also guarded by a large number of anti-aircraft missile launchers, heavy laser cannons, light and medium turrets, as well as heavily armed patrol soldiers and combat robots.
It is not armed to the teeth, it is armed to the bone!
Many people know that the pyramid at the core of Phoenix City must be very important, but no one can explain its specific use. Because the 3rd Army has not changed much since it was ordered to come here.
Most people think it is a weapon, but unfortunately no one has ever seen him operate, because Cabretto has been very quiet and has never encountered any foreign invasion, so people can only guess its power in their hearts, and then start from the beginning. From shock to numbness now.
When the flames of war started from Hal Palace and swept across the entire planet, the soldiers of the 3rd Army finally saw its power, and their emotions returned from numbness to shock.
The sky in Dalaran has become dim. Kha Norton disappeared on the horizon two hours ago, and Kyhanos only has half a face left, but Kha Noel hangs obliquely in the western sky, exuding a non-violent light .
In the evening, the sandbar will cool down extremely quickly, and then be swallowed by darkness, and a biting cold wind will be called, blowing away the lack of spring, and making this world covered by steel and yellow sand lose temperature quickly.
Today, the rapid cooling of the sand cannot take away the heat in the hearts of the soldiers. On the contrary, they expand in the heart like a flame and burn in the pupils.
It wasn't just their hearts that burned, but the sky of Dalaran.
At the highest place in Phoenix City, the huge pyramid has already opened up, and the arc surges on the towering spiral tower, almost turning the entire tower into a Thor blade, connecting the blue clouds at the top, reaching the yellow sand at the bottom, turning the sky and the earth One split in two.
That ray of light was very hot and even more dazzling. The surging waves of light meandered into silver snakes in the sky, changing the yellow of the evening into a turbulent white.
Around the pyramid, the smaller towers were also submerged by the arc, but they were far less terrifying than the main tower. From a distance, they looked like trembling lightsabers dancing around the Thunder God Blade that split the world.
Crackling...beep...boom...
The sound of thunder piercing the sky was turbulent and endless. Some timid guys in the patrol team shrank their heads and bowed their bodies, their military uniforms shook slightly, and they looked palely at the light at the end of their sight.
Attracted by the main tower, the electric arc on the auxiliary tower suddenly lifted into the air, and a blue tongue of flame swam out, hitting the circular structure at the end of the main tower, triggering a round of silver light explosion.
One side tower, two side towers, three side towers...
When those sub-towers and the main tower were connected to form a power grid, putting the entire Phoenix City into a pool of thunder, the dazzling light storm created a visual shock wave, sweeping across the entire desert. (To be continued.)
