Chapter 1396: last phase (1/2)
After the infernal incendiary bomb burned, the earth still exudes residual temperature, and there are even dark red molten substances remaining in the large tracts of gully. Thick billowing smoke rises on the scorched and hot land, and the choking smoke and dust also envelops all kinds of things. The remnants of various disgusting tastes are disintegrating and rising, and the flesh and blood of synthetic beasts emit a stench after carbonization, and there is also a pungent scent that can react with the air.
Without the protection of a full set of protective armor and breeze shield, even one second of breathing on this flame-burnt battlefield would be like falling into the abyss.
Fendier Wilde led his soldiers quickly across the battlefield from a gully. The protective runes built into the armor cut off and filtered out the amazing heat and various toxic gases in the air. But even so, when When he glanced over the scorch marks ablated by the living fire element, Fendier still felt a rush of heat coming from the bottom of his heart. He frowned, looked up into the distance, and saw a floating figure floating on the edge of the battlefield. A layer of weird purple-black fog, a faint roar came from the depths of the fog, and at the end of the fog, near the hazy horizon, you could see a black and unknown “mountain”.
If he looks closely, he can even see that the surface of the "mountain" has countless fine structures slowly undulating and swaying, and the overall shape of the "mountain" is even slightly adjusted accordingly, a kind of slight shaking and tremor. This tremor that keeps coming along the ground is caused by the slight movement of the "mountain".
"Sir," a soldier's voice came from behind Fendier, "you said...did the thing spot us?"
"Impossible?" Before Fendier spoke, another soldier next to him said with a nervous expression, "We are so far away, and we are so small...In front of that stuff, ordinary humans should be quite the same. A grain of sand, right? Can anyone see a specific grain of sand on the ground from a hundred meters away?"
"My aunt can," Fendier glanced at the soldier. "When she was bored, she would even stand on the balcony and give a name to a certain grain of sand in the garden, then blow the sand away with a gust of wind, and then Li Shao found out as a legendary magician, she used this method to exercise her spiritual cohesion."
The soldier who spoke just now was dumbfounded, but Fendier shook his head shortly afterwards, "But I think even if the thing finds us, it won’t care. Just like you said, we’re just like in front of it. The dust is normal, and there are millions of'sand dust' gathered on this battlefield. Every particle of dust wants its life... Its attention is all on the deep blue well, and it should not pay attention to us at all. What the sand and dust that is not threatening to it is doing."
"It's also... I don't need it to pay attention. The aberrations and biosynthetic beasts gathered around it are enough to make us scorched," the soldier who spoke first shook his head with a wry smile, "and we have to be on this scorched battlefield. Set up a ground communication station close to the active area of the aberrations... I hope the suppression effect of the purification device on this area can keep those deformed freaks out."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's work." Fendier murmured and walked forward first, but before crossing the next ravine, he couldn't help but look up at the direction of the "living mountain" on the horizon. .
That shocking, living catastrophe-like biological giant structure lays at the end of the earth, not far in front of it, and the ground is covered with a light blue glowing "egg shell", that layer of "egg shell" It is the last layer of defense of the Deep Blue Well. The ugly and deformed "Crawl Disaster" is now greedily crawling in front of the Deep Blue Well, like a hungry beast staring at a feast, while countless minions gather on the vast battlefield around it, like a mountain. Ocean.
All Fendier could see was a corner of this huge battlefield, but he knew that countless fierce battles were going on in this land called the "Talash Plain" from all over the continent of Loren. Allied forces and soldiers of the kingdom have entered this ancient place. They are fighting fiercely with deformed bodies and synthetic beasts, advancing their positions with difficulty, and building purification devices, trying to reduce the pressure on the Deep Blue Well.
But for the huge "Crawl Disaster" body that looks like a mountain, most of the mortal regular troops on the battlefield are unlikely to pose a threat. The only one that can really resist the Crawl Disaster is probably the only one that is entering from the Western Front. The sky fortress in the Talash Plain.
A huge flying fortress like a city moves forward at the bottom of the cloud, and a thick radioactive cloud moves backwards above the fort like a rock layer close to the top of the head. From time to time, light flashes through the cloud layer, which has accumulated for hundreds of years. The magic power of the atmosphere produces a discharge phenomenon caused by a local breakdown in the atmospheric steady state boundary. The Gorgon Sky Fortress accompanies the Earthly Dawn like a guard around the body of a giant beast, and there are countless dragoons and dragonborns, The dragon warrior soars in the sky around these aerial fortresses like a swarm of bees.
In the command hall of the Earthly Dawn, huge holographic projections are showing real-time scenes from various fronts. Gina Prince is standing in front of the podium, staring at the pictures closely, and in all the pictures In the very center of, the figure of Duke Baldwin Franklin, who is leading the main action on the ground, appeared in the air. The background behind him was the ground burned out by incendiary bombs, and a metal glowing tower standing high on the ground. The shiny tower.
"We have successfully taken down the hills northwest of Talash, and the purification device is being activated," Duke Baldwin said quickly, "How is the situation on your side now? Is there any movement in the'Crawl Disaster'" ?"
"It stopped very close by the Deep Blue Well, and its internal energy response was very unstable." Gina Prince looked up at another holographic projection nearby, which was the remote optical sensor of the Earthly Dawn. The captured image, "We are getting closer, but it doesn't seem to be responding... The supercritical accelerator is ready, and it will be launched as soon as it enters range."
"The units on each line have been coordinated," Duke Baldwin nodded, "The ground forces will withdraw from a sufficient safe distance. At the same time, once you start the offensive, the purification towers on each line will enter the charging state and try to make the blocking wall. Closed. Commander Jinna, this charging process is irreversible. We must succeed once and the enemy will not give us a second chance."
"We have no room for failure from the beginning," Gina Prince said softly, then she turned to the commander aside, her expression becoming serious, "Close the production module, and all energy is supplied to the shield and weapon system. The **** fleet returned to the fortress hangars, all supercritical accelerators were unlocked, and the speed increased to 3 forward."
"Yes! Commander!" The soldier responded loudly. Then, there was a low buzzing sound from the depths of Earthly Dawn. Then, there was a slight vibration from the edge of the deck. It was the resonance generated when all the shield generators were activated. This huge flying fortress accumulated all its power. The twelve supercritical accelerators on the edge of the fortress. Both opened their respective protective walls, and the long acceleration track pointed far away at the end of the horizon.
And almost at the same time that all this happened, a palpitating feeling suddenly swept across the entire battlefield.
The "living mountain range" in the distance seemed to have awakened from a deep sleep. Its whole body was still for a moment, and in the next second, thousands of tentacles on its surface suddenly pointed to the sky, and countless pale eyeballs appeared at the ends of countless tentacles. All eyeballs were Staring at the direction of the Earthly Dawn. In this unabashed malice and murderous intent, the main brain of the Earthly Dawn sounded the highest-level alarm. A commander stared at the data displayed by the instrument in front of him and shouted in shock. Call: "The energy response in the target's body rises sharply!"
