Chapter 78: Head-On Confrontation

A bunch of Foster League players looked up at this giant reptile that was more than a hundred meters tall. The all-steel shell cast in one go shone with a metallic luster. The first thing everyone thought of after seeing it was ' The word "sturdy".

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." A front-line commander of the Foster Alliance shouted loudly to the stunned crowd. Those people looked for the sound and immediately found the shouting commander, but their eyes were quickly blocked by the commander behind him. something attracted. Far away from them at the end of the road lay a heavy cannon. This big iron guy was covered in rubble and debris, and behind it was a collapsed fort base. Apparently the battery collapsed during the fire, but luckily the cannon was not damaged and has now been turned over and reloaded.

After seeing this great savior, the players quickly stepped aside. Driven by the handles that several people turned desperately, the huge iron cannon barrel slowly leveled, pointing straight at the invincible fortress along the straight road. The enemy actually used the long-range defensive cannon as a level-shooting anti-armor weapon at such a close distance. Although it was a bit unruly, it was also a helpless move. Besides, at such a short distance, the armor-piercing ability of any gun would not be too great. Difference.

"Fire." The commander immediately ordered the firing after dispersing his own people blocking the city gate.

boom. The cannon roared loudly, and a shell flew straight out and hit the front of the invincible fortress. The Invincible Fortress, which looks like a rhinoceros, has a very smooth frontal statue. It is said that things flying from the front can easily be bounced away due to the curvature of the surface of the Invincible Fortress. However, this time the bombardment was aimed too accurately, and the shells were aimed directly at the armor. No tilting occurred. The Invincible Fortress made a deafening noise, and all the people who were relatively close were knocked down. Many people who were particularly close were bleeding from all their orifices, which looked very scary. The terrifying flight speed of the cannonballs and the super-hard structural strength of the invincible fortress produced the most terrifying concussive impact. The ultra-high frequency shock wave instantly knocked everyone around to the ground.

The shell exploded when it hit the Invincible Fortress. After the fire and smoke dissipated, it took a while for those who fired the gun to get up from the ground, covering their ears and shaking their heads. The first thing they did after getting up was to see the effects of the bombardment. The observer took a look at the Invincible Fortress behind the smoke. He was stunned for a moment, then left the observer and rubbed his eyes for a while before sticking it again.

The conductor next to him asked him anxiously: "How is the situation?"

"Completely...completely ineffective!"

The front of the Invincible Fortress was actually undamaged. Except for the obvious scratches that could be seen at the location directly hit by the shell, there was no change at all. Not to mention any holes, there was not even a single dent. The people at the gun position were all surprised and grabbed the observer, and what they saw was exactly the same as the observer's report.

The commander sighed helplessly: "You can't even penetrate at such a close range. It seems we are doomed!"

"Wait a minute." A smarter player suddenly shouted. "It's not without effect. Look, that guy hasn't moved for a minute."

The Invincible Fortress is indeed untouched, but it does not have any damage. The reason for its immobility is man-made. The Invincible Fortress is an all-steel structure. Because it was built in a hurry, no auxiliary facilities were added. It is entirely a steel structure. This giant metal lump has no soundproofing at all. The outside was hit so hard, and the vibration inside was understandable. At this time, the operators inside the Invincible Fortress were lying on the ground, each one pressing their temples and moaning on the ground.

The shock wave emitted by the steel fortress when the shell hit it not only hurt the people outside, but also the people inside were not spared, but their situation was different from the people outside. Steel conducts vibrations very quickly. At the moment when the shell hits, the impact sound is almost emitted from the entire Invincible Fortress. The internal shock waves cancel each other out, and what is actually produced is a kind of low-frequency infrasound. The sound from outside will be superimposed many times and finally turn into ultrasonic shock waves. The ultrasonic shock wave outside is very powerful, knocking down a large number of people at once, but the infrasound inside only causes negative effects and does not cause actual harm. The operators on the ground all looked in great pain, but in fact they had no injuries at all.

The Invincible Fortress itself moves with the help of the Zerg's totem power. It has its own thinking and autonomous driving capabilities. It is not a big problem whether there are operators. But unfortunately, the commander of the Invincible Fortress was placing the totem when the impact occurred. Near Shi's console, he took the totem stone with him when he fell. Without the totem stone, the Invincible Fortress is just a block of metal. It itself has no mechanical movement device. Even if the operators get up, they will never be able to move a step as long as the totem stone is not put back.

The Foster Alliance players outside couldn't figure out why the seemingly undamaged Invincible Fortress suddenly stopped moving, and the people on Ashford's side were even more surprised. Ashford asked the liaison officer assigned to him by the guild: "Have you contacted the Invincible Fortress?"

The Chinese player shook his head. "No, no signal at all."

The Invincible Fortress is also equipped with a crystal communication system. Of course, this kind of thing cannot withstand vibrations. The vibration just now has completely destroyed this system, so no matter how the players of the guild equipped to Ashford call it. The Invincible Fortress showed no response.

Ashford said anxiously: "Isn't that thing called the Invincible Fortress? Why can't it move with just one shot?"

The player in our guild immediately said: "The images sent back by the reconnaissance mosquito show that the Invincible Fortress is not actually damaged. The lack of movement may be due to other reasons, at least the outside does not appear to be damaged."

"What should we do?" Ashford asked anxiously. He is counting on our Zerg castles to help him fight the war. Now one of them suddenly stops moving. Can he not be anxious? Besides, are things from our guild so easy to borrow? If it breaks, you have to pay for it. Ashford didn't know how much this thing was worth, but he knew it was definitely not cheap.

The battlefield commander of our branch, who was responsible for assisting Ashford on this journey, said to the member responsible for communications: "Immediately contact other fortresses to see who is closer and ask them to go over and check the situation."

"Understood." The member immediately turned on the crystal communicator and shouted. "The battle commander calls the advancing fortress, and each fortress checks its position to see which one is closest to the invincible fortress."

"We." Spider Fortress's communication appeared on the crystal screen. "This is the Spider Fortress. We are on the city wall. The Invincible Fortress is right below me. The distance is no more than 200 meters."

"Okay Spider Fortress. The Invincible Fortress has been in a silent state since the shelling just now. The pictures sent back by the reconnaissance mosquito show that there is no external damage to the Invincible Fortress. Please check whether there are other problems with the Invincible Fortress."

"Spider Fortress understands, let's go over and take a look right away."

Just when the enemy had the courage to go and see what was going on in the Invincible Fortress, a black shadow suddenly passed over their heads. Spider Fortress jumped directly from the city wall and hit the ground with a bang. Several surrounding buildings collapsed around him. The commander at the gun emplacement originally planned to send someone to see why this beetle-like thing was motionless, but the spider fortress suddenly fell from the sky and scared him back.

"Fire, fire quickly." The commander shouted nervously.

Several people on the gun position reacted quickly. With a bang, the cannon fired again. A cloud of smoke and dust rose up from where the Spider Fortress was standing, but the Spider Fortress had already jumped up. The sights of the people on the gun emplacement all followed the position of the Spider Fortress, and then they suddenly discovered that the Spider Fortress' landing point seemed to be where they were standing.

The observer looked into the observation mirror and suddenly said: "It's over now."

With a bang, the Spider Fortress fell to the ground again, and the cannon that had been so impressive just now was kicked into the ground. A bunch of crushed parts flew around, and the cannon was completely turned into scrap metal. After the attack was completed, the Spider Fortress did not immediately attack the surrounding enemies, but turned around and ran back to the Invincible Fortress. He raised one of his spider legs and tapped the Invincible Fortress on the head. "Is there anyone alive inside? How is the situation?" The voice of Spider Fortress was shouted directly through the loudspeaker, and the crystal communication machine was obviously ineffective.

After these two knocks, the people in the Invincible Fortress gradually got up. The fortress commander rubbed his head and climbed up, but his hand on the ground accidentally touched something. He looked down and was shocked. Isn't this a beetle totem? The commander immediately endured the pain and climbed up and put the totem back on the connector on the operating table. People outside only saw the eyes of the Invincible Fortress flashing red, and then began to move forward again. A voice came out through the speakers of the Invincible Fortress. "We are fine. The shock just now knocked everyone out, and the crystal communication system was seriously damaged. We are now starting to resume independent combat."

"Okay." Spider Fortress quickly retreated and ran towards other targets, and the correspondent quickly notified the command post at the rear of the battlefield. "The Invincible Fortress has returned to normal, but their communicator is broken and cannot be contacted for the time being. Their people were all stunned just now, so they have not moved. Now they are going to start fighting independently."

Ashford felt more relieved when he heard what happened. He quickly said to the communication port: "Okay, we understand. You can choose the target again."

"Yes. Communication completed." Spider Fortress quickly turned and rushed towards the most conspicuous temple in the center of the city.
