Chapter 555 Hammer Drop (VIII)

Like heavy rain.

Like a falling hammer.

Like a tidal wave that drowns the sight, only a mess is left on the ground after the tidal wave sweeps over.

The twenty-millimeter twin semi-automatic cannon spit out flames, and large-caliber projectiles swept through the crowd gathered on the ground. The soldiers on the path were either killed or maimed.

(After flipping through the previous pages, I realized that I didn’t say that the cannon was a twin cannon. I’ll add it now, UwU)

They had nothing to do with the Templars outside. The shields built by the knights with their long swords inserted were so hard that even the cannons could not penetrate them. The cannons shifted their firepower to deal with the unprotected Crusaders first.

Ammo is limited, so clear out the others first.

The small number of Templars in the square were not so lucky. The forward arc shield could only protect part of the front of them. The crossfire of multiple interceptor ships could penetrate and kill these hard-as-stones from multiple angles. Knights Templar.

The interceptor ship descended, opened the side drop bay, and figures with and without animal characteristics jumped off at a height of five meters.

"Quick, quick, move."

The soldiers of the Standard Mining Task Force dropped to the ground from the aerospace ship that was lowered to a height of five meters, holding the Type 04 bolt-action rifles in their hands and observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Five meters is the limit height. Any lower, and the interceptor ship will no longer be able to deliver troops while providing close fire support.

Another group of soldiers holding portable torches quickly gathered at Cloud Whale's side and hung the lifting steel cable hanging from the interceptor ship on Cloud Whale's body.

The steel cable pierced the Cloud Whale's body, and the open heavy anchors pierced the flesh and blood. Six interceptor ships were enough to send this big guy from the ground to the cloud.

"Do you think this thing can be hoisted?" The veteran couldn't help but clicked his tongue as he looked at the body of the Cloud Whale lying in the square. The 40-meter-long Cloud Whale looked four times as big as an interceptor ship.

The forty-meter-long Cloud Whale weighs at least three hundred tons. Even if they replace all twelve "Peregrine Falcons" with the "Seagull" with a stronger load capacity, they may not be able to handle it.

"The Cloud Whale's body contains a large number of floating stones. If we input energy into its body, it can awaken the floating stone resonance chamber. The floating floating stone resonance chamber in operation will provide sufficient buoyancy." Jiang Lu said: "According to calculations, only It takes four aerospace ships to tow it to the industrial command ship, but the task is actually assigned to six ships to ensure that this thing can be transported back safely and stably. "

"You're from the logistics class, I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable." The veteran patted Jiang Lu on the shoulder.

"I'm from the duty class, not the support class." Jiang Lu was dissatisfied.

"Okay, boy on duty." The veteran said, and then put the bayonet on the spear into the body of an enemy who jumped up and wanted to sneak attack them: "Hold your weapon, I have read their scriptures... They don't It’s so easy to get along with the people in the Holy City.”

Some of the fallen troops were cleaning up the Crusaders who were not completely dead on the ground, giving these incurable Crusaders a good time.

The enclosed living iron net successfully surrounded the square. Anyone who wanted to enter the square had to face the spiked iron net growing like bushes on the outside.

Soldiers transferred from the military department carried disposable bunker modules dropped by Peregrine Falcon. The soldiers used temporary iron ash tower shields to build temporary defensive positions on the outside of each cable drilling site.

The demi-human soldiers had not received complete training in bunker erection. They relied on their flexibility to climb onto the Cloud Whale's body and drive the secondary steel nails of the steel cable into the Cloud Whale's arc-shaped skin one by one.

"Huh...huh..."

The leader of the Templar garrison gasped and looked at his other colleagues hiding in the wreckage of the house. Only half of the Templar support troops he brought survived.

The shield, which could withstand more than ten ballista rounds from the front, only lasted less than two minutes under the attacker's firepower. If he hadn't ordered the knights to take advantage of the gap when the aerospace ship turned to fire, put away the shield and escape into the building. , the casualties of his knights will jump up again.

Most of those who survived were injured.

They could still fight, and the Templars could fight again.

But facing an enemy that cannot be dealt with at all, rushing forward rashly will only result in the loss of precious combat power.

The priest nearby also tried to attack the aerospace ship, but the effect was very bad. The light gun was completely scattered and offset by the sheet metal plates hanging on the outside of the aerospace ship... Even the priest was also attacked. The hail of bullets swept his weak bunker into rubble.

Every priest who wanted to fight back met with such an ending. They were even more unlucky than the war mages of the Magic Empire that Ji Lin had dealt with before. At that time, Ji Lin did not have small-caliber rapid-fire cannons.

Jilin's fleet has now installed a large number of twenty-millimeter cannons for dealing with small flying units, and infantry no longer need rifles to make up for the lack of firepower.

The garrison leader knew from that time that not only their armor could not block the opponent's firepower, but even buildings that were not strong enough could not block the opponent's weapons.

The steel-wrapped hands held up a metal block that was distorted and deformed. Under the firelight, the original cylindrical shape of the metal block could still be distinguished.

He belongs to the Seventh Special Mixed Brigade of the Holy See's Vanguard Army. He has led his Templar Knights on expeditions to dozens of worlds, participated in hundreds of large-scale battles, quelled ten rebellions for the Holy See, and bathed three worlds in divine under the glory.

Victory, victory after victory, bringing complete victory to the gods.

All of this was shattered by the metal that fell from the sky. There was no rune blessing on it, nor was there any spell sharpening. It was like a piece of copper that had been crushed on the ground.

But it was this thing that slaughtered the elites of the Vanguard Square and shattered the pride that the Vanguard had built by conquering several worlds.

The leader didn't know how many Crusaders were still alive in the square. In the past ten minutes, the casualties of the soldiers may have exceeded two thousand.

He saw the flaming mud pillars rising in the distance, and the burning houses in the distance. There were monsters in the invisible clouds that were casting death and destruction on the ground.

Is this the real monster that this world is nurturing?

It must be the Holy Knights to deal with these monsters.

The shield in the distance was getting thinner and thinner.
