boom--

In the diffuse mountains and forests, the roaring flames of war echoed under the sky. Layers of fire covered the earth, illuminating the snow and trees in the mountains, and also illuminated the two sides separated by dense fortifications. an army.

"Captain, the attack from the mercenary group outside is getting stronger and stronger."

In a defense facility with flashing lights, a young soldier with the emblem of the city of stars printed on his chest quickly walked up to the blond man and said quickly, "They have more troops than us, and they are now desperately attacking our defense line."

"Inform the entire group to hold on,"

The blond man stared at the map in front of him and said quickly, "The current situation is not favorable to them, but they are still attacking crazily. This proves that they are more urgent than us. They probably have time requirements. As long as they persist through this period, Once there is no hope at all, their morale will be completely gone.

"That's when we fight back."

"yes!"

The young soldier responded immediately, then turned around and controlled the communication station on the side.

"Captain, our inner defense line has been breached,"

But before he sent the message, another correspondent on the side shouted loudly, "A force is quickly attacking the weak point of our defense line, and the target direction is..."

He paused and said quickly, "The direction of the artillery position behind us!"

"Has the defense been repaired?"

Faith asked immediately.

"The first team is moving up quickly to repair the defense."

The correspondent immediately said, "But there are suspected to be B-level high-level extraordinary beings who have broken into that army. They can't stop them. They are too fast. They have to pass our command post to go to the artillery position, although it is not sure whether they have touched it." We know the location of the command post, but the First Battalion Captain wants you to evacuate."

"Either they want to take away the main output behind them, or they come directly to me,"

Faith looked away from the map on the side and said, "Inform the first brigade that if they can't stop them, let them stop and let them come directly."

"Captain, this?!"

The correspondent hesitated.

"This is an order. Power up the whole regiment. Then the deputy regiment commander and the staff office will take over my command."

Feis directly pulled out the huge sword that was inserted into the ground next to him. Then he reached out and picked up the military cap next to him and put it on his head. "As for those outside, let me see their level."

After that, he turned around and walked out of the command room.

"yes!"

The correspondent's hesitant response echoed in the bright command room.

——

The pervasive sound passed through the vast mountains and plains and reached the narrow valley.

The surging flames almost formed clouds covering the mountains, crowding the enclosed valley.

The sound of artillery that had been prepared long ago blocked every area of ​​the valley. The mountains in front and behind had been blown down by high explosives. The collapsed gravel and soil sealed the entire valley, and also blocked all the way forward for people in the valley.

On a towering peak at the edge of the valley, an old-looking figure lowered his head and stared at the fire cloud below.

"General,"

The officer stood behind Covey, also looking at the fire cloud below, and said quickly, "Everything is going according to plan. The enemy is now trying to reopen the road covered by the landslide, but they were interfered by us.

"We are currently occupying the terrain advantage from a high position, and they are currently unable to effectively counterattack us.

"As things stand now, they are unable to open the blocked roads for the time being,"

He looked up at Covey, "But their firepower is very strong and they are trying to counterattack us from bottom to top. Some of our firepower points have been suppressed.

"They are also sending people to explore the mountains. Our troops hiding in the forest have encountered and blocked many extraordinary teams.

"But overall, we still have the advantage, and they seem to be a little anxious."

"Remain vigilant and continue to increase search intensity and firepower,"

Covey said calmly, "The abilities of extraordinary people are weird and unpredictable. Be careful of them jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and reached out to push the officer beside him away.

boom--

The officer whose body crossed the sky only saw the mountain peak under the old general suddenly explode, showing diffuse smoke and dust and countless illusory shadows against the backdrop of the surging flames.

These shadows flickered for a moment and rushed towards the original position of the mountain peak again.

"Come again."

An old and steady voice sounded in the sky.

Countless shadows swarmed up.

At the end of the sky, at the edge of the dim sky, there seemed to be a bright light gradually rising, but it was dimly covered by the burning flames.

——

"It's almost dawn."

Shia, who was covered in blood, curled up and leaned against the half-destroyed wall.

She raised her head and looked through the slender gap in the canyon to the glowing skyline in the distance.

There seemed to be something crawling in the sky, briefly distorting the light at the end of the sky, making the light look less real.

But people can still distinguish the coming dawn from the faint light.

"Have we lasted this long?"

She spoke hoarsely and looked at the man sitting next to him who was also covered in blood.

Fierce artillery fire rang out behind the two men, and the almost continuous bombs made the entire earth tremble slightly.

"yes."

He Ao sat next to Xia, fumbled in his pocket, and only pulled out the last cigarette, which was stained with blood. He glanced at the cigarette and slowly put it back.

While the two were talking, a faint, light green translucent barrier that was already full of cracks covered the entire canyon.

Roaring artillery fire fell from the sky and landed on the translucent barrier, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently.

The wilderness wanderer who was shooting not far away was stunned for a moment when the barrier appeared. It wasn't until his bullet hit the inside of the barrier that he realized what he was doing. He put down his gun and leaned against the cliff beside him. He was in a daze with no eyesight.

Some wounded soldiers with injuries were replaced by soldiers recuperating behind them.

Some soldiers or wilderness wanderers would nod to Heao and Shia when they passed by them.

And He Ao will nod in response.

"Five times."

Shia looked at the soldiers around her and said somewhat silently.

"Um."

He Ao looked at the people whose eyes had lost their luster and nodded silently.

He has treated these soldiers five times.

Physical injuries can be recovered, but mental fatigue is irreversible.

At the beginning, these soldiers may have other emotions, either hatred or glory. When they are cured by He Ao for the first time, they will be surprised and novel.

But as time passes, many people have smoothed their emotions in the high-intensity blood and battlefield. They are like stiff puppets, supported by the invisible will, silently facing the surge not far below. of enemies.

They are very tired.

Perhaps all that supported them was some simple beliefs, but their fragile spirits could no longer withstand any more shocks.

Just like a tight string, as long as there is a slightly stronger impact, it will completely break.

"How long can our barrier last?"

Shia raised her head and looked at the light green barrier full of cracks in the sky that was constantly being bombarded by the flames of war.

This barrier originally had two layers, and they were indeed strong enough, but when they blocked attacks from the outside, they also blocked attacks from the inside.

The enemy troops below quickly discovered this characteristic. Instead, they used the barrier to quickly rush in and covered it with dense explosives in an attempt to quickly destroy the barrier.

Then this barrier becomes a 'help' to the other side.

Due to this characteristic, He Ao adjusted the barrier to be intermittent, allowing his soldiers to take a short shift break when the barrier was open.

This method has allowed the barrier to persist until now, but it is obvious that the barrier is approaching its final end.

"Maybe, next time."

He Ao took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"Sir!"

At this time, a voice stopped him. It was a soldier wearing a city defense uniform.

His face was rosy and his eyes were shining. He looked at He Ao, stood up straight, and gave a military salute to He Ao, "Please let us..."

However, before he finished speaking, He Ao raised his hand and said coldly and calmly, "Go back."

The light green barrier in the sky dissipated at this moment, and anti-aircraft guns were fired, intercepting the shells fired from the sky.

There were also a few shots that were not intercepted and fell into the canyon.

He Ao raised the chaos scepter in his hand and waved it lightly. The shells suddenly detonated in the sky, exploding into surging flames.

The surrounding soldiers quickly hid in bunkers to avoid the splash damage caused by the shells.

The city defense soldier also quickly hid in a bunker nearby.

He Ao ignored him and turned around to walk to the outermost low wall.

Orui, with bloody scabs on his face, was standing behind the wall, looking at the army outside the wall.

Hearing He Ao's footsteps, he turned his head and said slowly, "Sir, we only have two lines of defense left."

"How much ammo do we have left?"

He Ao stood beside him and asked softly.

"Not much left,"

Auri shook his head slightly and glanced at the somewhat numb soldiers around him, "I don't know if they can survive the next wave of attacks."

"It's the same old way, I'll take the lead first."

He Ao held the chaos cane in his hand and looked up at the already somewhat distorted sky.

The power of order entangled in the sky seems to be somewhat sensitive to the power of chaos. Whenever He Ao uses the chaos cane, the power of the sky will be disturbed.

Moreover, these forces of order seem to have some invisible 'suppression' on the chaos cane. When using the chaos cane in this area, the effects, sacrifice conversion efficiency, and ability display are all subject to certain restrictions.

Including the chaotic soul ability of the chaotic cane, it seems that it has also been suppressed. For such a long time, He Ao has not seen a corpse that was 'resurrected' due to the chaotic soul.

Many times, He Ao had to pay part of the price himself to force the use of the Luanju cane.

And from all the fighting and injuries, his body was reaching its limit.

Moreover, even if the chaos cane is upgraded, its range of influence is limited. On a large-scale battlefield, he can only briefly hinder the vanguard.

He estimated that the other commander had also roughly figured out the boundaries of his chaos technique, so the team was a little loose, further reducing his efficiency in using chaos techniques.

This series of reasons ultimately affected the effect of chaos techniques and the frequency of their use.

He Ao raised his head, looking through the low wall, looking at the army that had almost arrived at the gate of the North Country.

Under the absolute gap in numbers and equipment, even if he had used enough extraordinary abilities, he still could not completely resist this huge army.

Then he looked at this army, and suddenly froze, looking at the densely packed armored vehicles that began to move closely together.

"Why didn't they launch an attack? Are they in the drama?"

Ori looked outside and was also slightly stunned.

This seemed to be a little different from the previous opening. The previous mercenary group would immediately launch an attack after the barrier was broken, but now it was unexpectedly quiet.

"Let everyone back to the last line of defense."

He Ao looked at this scene and realized something. He said something quickly, then immediately turned around and rushed back into the canyon.

Ori was stunned and didn't react for a moment, but as He Ao's figure disappeared in front of him, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The gathering of troops often means a far greater impact than before.

He immediately raised his hand, sounded the alarm, and shouted, "Retreat, retreat."

At this time.

The light green barrier, which was already full of cracks, appeared above the sky again.

At the moment when the light green barrier appeared, dense missiles and bombs poured down on the entire canyon.

Boom boom boom——

The surging flames covered the sky, completely covering the glimmer at the end of the sky, forming a dome of fire.

Some numb soldiers also recovered their spirits in the huge explosion, and retreated quickly under the command of Ori.

Xia also stood up with difficulty. She didn't realize what happened, but she immediately cooperated to command the retreat.

At this time, He Ao had already rushed to the depths of the canyon.

Fine runes with faint light were scattered all over the land, and in the middle of these fine runes, there was a jade box inlaid with tree roots.

This was the core of the entire "barrier".

He Ao couldn't find so many extraordinary materials to build the magic circle, so he simply used this thing with order pollution to provide extraordinary power.

This thing seemed to have an impact on the power of the sky distortion, which caused the sky of the Gate of the North to be distorted to a certain extent after the magic circle was formed.

But He Ao didn't have time to care about this.

He looked behind the jade box.

A huge black and white mecha was half-kneeling behind the jade box, and behind this mecha were the same mechas.

They all had some scars on their bodies, but these scars could not weaken their momentum.

They half-knelt there, like silent knights, ready to go, waiting for their monarch to give orders and defend their glory.

"Sir!?"

At this time, a soldier under the mecha raised his head and looked at He Ao blankly.

This was the soldier who had just come to find He Ao.

Behind this soldier stood a small group of soldiers in similar conditions.

They were the pilots of these mechas and the elite of He Ao's entire army.

When the mecha team came back, He Ao never let them go to the battlefield again, but they have been resting here.

"Get on the mecha!"

He Ao looked at the people in front of him, looked up at the flames exploding in the sky, and said quickly.

Four thousand two hundred words
