Chapter 1367： Thunder and heavy rain (1/2)
Dark clouds are gathering, covering the entire sky above Greta Fortress at an astonishing speed. In less than a minute, the originally clear sky has been shrouded in a cloud like night. The wind filled with moist moisture blew between the plains and the hills, and even the swaying of the trees from the direction of the jungle sounded like there was a vague sound of splashing water—the soldiers on the battlefield were desperately resisting the offensive of the deformed body. He quickly noticed this extraordinary change. The soldier who had enough energy looked up at the top of his head, and immediately saw the "smiley face" that was halfway across the sky, and that was still constantly magnifying.
"Then what the **** is it?!" A knight captain with a hideous scar on his cheek looked at the smile floating in the clouds in astonishment. The level of weirdness of this thing is too evil no matter how you look at it, that it has a lot of experience. The fighting knight felt all over furry at once, "That cloud is grinning at me! And it looks like a girl's face!"
A roar of missiles breaking through the air came from nearby. Next to the Knight Captain, a war mage in charge of suppressing the firepower of the squad shot a series of arcane missiles towards the enemy's direction. Then the extraordinary man who had cast the spell and cast his consciousness also He raised his head and glanced, subconsciously rubbing his eyes, muttering like a dream: "Am I dying... I heard that when people are dying, they will see the face of the closest person in the sky... My grandfather will arrive after his death. Has the sky turned into a beautiful girl?"
Before the battle mage's words fell, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from nearby, and then a knight in light armor rushed from the corner of the bunker, and the young evangelist shouted: "The king's Order! The friendly fire is about to arrive, immediately leave this area, and the whole army will withdraw to the direction of Greta Fortress! The king's order, the whole army will withdraw to Greta Fortress!"
"Withdraw?!" The captain of the knight caught the messenger knight who was about to run past him. "Friends? Where are the friendly forces? Didn't it mean that there are no reinforcements?"
"I don't know! Do what you tell me!" The Lingling knight said quickly, turning around and quickly ran to the other side of the bunker fortifications, continuing to loudly convey the direct commands of King Odris while running.
The order received a moment ago was to hold the position at all costs. At this time, instructions came for the whole army to retreat. This made the Knight Captain a little confused, but it did not affect his obedience to the order in the slightest—all doubts in his heart were quickly suppressed. After coming down, the experienced captain grabbed the battle mage who was obviously weakened next to him, and his loud voice echoed on the front he was in charge of: "Retreat!"
On the long and narrow wasteland leading to the wasteland, between the layers of bunkers built to fight the deformed body and the blocking steel rods, the soldiers of the Gaoling Kingdom who have been fighting for almost a day and night began to retreat quickly, and they retreated while retreating. Do his best to leave a large number of magic traps and mana crystals in a dangerous and critical state on the front line, and in the temporary headquarters behind this front, King Odris’s sight is constantly sweeping across the sky, growing more and more In the dense rain, I watched the changes of the converging clouds.
"The order to retreat has been issued, Your Majesty," the commander's voice came from the side, "The deformed body is quickly occupying our previous position."
"Very well, we are also going to withdraw to the fortress," Odris nodded and said quickly, "Remember to leave some explosives-it turns out that those charged Rebecca crystals can be very powerful even if they are fired improperly. Role."
The commander immediately accepted the order. At this time, the prince Lorraine next to him couldn't help but ask: "Father, do we really want to completely withdraw from here? Maybe we can leave some elite rangers to cooperate with Cecil and Hai The demon..."
"You don't understand their way of fighting—especially those of the Cecils." Odris shook his head, looking at his heirs who hadn’t been a long time in adulthood and lacked many experience. A good cooperation is to leave their firepower coverage as soon as possible. The sooner the better. If you have seen those video data, you will know that the new magical cannons they use are not a concept at all with the "long-range firepower" in your perception. …"
Soon after, the temporary headquarters where Odris was located also began to retreat in an orderly manner. The flag representing the Highmountain Kingdom was lowered from the rapid wall constructed by the technique of "turning mud into stone", and behind them, The dark clouds covering the entire battlefield have reached a critical point. The sky almost like night is filled with water, and between the thick clouds, there is a huge figure shrouded in faint light. Suddenly passed through the darkness.
Ashalena, in the form of a dragon, passed through the thick clouds. She was covered with mechanical armor made of steel. The faint light of the beacon light flickered on and off at the end of the dragon's wings and tail, and the surroundings looked quite terrifying. The clouds spread out beside her as if consciously, and did not affect her flight and observation of the ground in the slightest—after a short circle of two circles, Ashalena activated the magic net terminal on her chest.
"They have already evacuated... well, there are people who can understand the'signals' sent by the siren. Those human's savvy' is really extraordinary. Byron, prepare to cover fire, those monsters have already entered the target. Area, listen to me to report points—"
After a while, a sharp whistling sound pierced the dense sky, and from the far away Aldo Holy River, several "bright lines" with light cyan light flickered into the sky, and they drew out as if they were about to be shredded. The arc-shaped trajectory of the sky flies straight to the vast wasteland northwest of Greta Fortress, and standing in the direction of Greta Fortress, you can see a series of flashes suddenly appearing in the dark clouds covering the sky, like thunder. Shutting through the clouds, another spark fell from the sky-after a short delay, the sharp whistling from the sky turned into a terrifying explosion that rose up on the earth.
On the earth, just "breaking through" the last line of defense of mankind, just like the tide, the aberrations who occupied the position held by the soldiers of the Gaoling Kingdom were suddenly swept by a series of explosions and deadly shock waves, the commander behind these monsters We didn't even have time to feel the slightest joy of breaking through the line of defense, and in a flash received the signal feedback of the death of a large number of frontline troops.
On the towering walls of Greta Fortress, King Odris, who had just retreated to safety before he could take off his cloak and dry the rain on his hair, heard the thunderous noise coming from the northwest. The terrible thunder-like sound tumbling between heaven and earth, even at such a distance, it still shook this ancient and glorious barrier. The windows protected by the steel frame trembled slightly, and the shelves and weapon racks were shaking. With a disturbing sound of friction, the prince Lorraine ran to the observatory. The huge mushroom cloud rising from the distant earth and the bright arcs constantly drawn in the clouds made this person who has just stepped on the battlefield for a long time and has not understood much." The young man of "Contemporary Art" was stunned.
He even shivered slightly in front of the mighty power that looked like a natural disaster—not because of fear, but simply shock.
King Odris also came to the observation deck. When looking at the sky covering the earth and seeing the "truth" shells projected by the Cecil expeditionary fleet from the direction of the holy river, the king was actually no better than his own son. How calm is he—after all, all he knows about Cecil’s modern weapons is limited to the video materials in Cecil’s official propaganda and a few imported small and medium caliber magic guided guns, and he witnessed the bombing of battleship’s main guns and that It's a completely different concept.
"Father..." Lorraine finally fully understood the necessity of his father's order for the entire army to retreat. "That kind of powerful shelling can also be produced by the'Magic Cannon'? That is what we are using..."
"The Cecils call it'truth', and some of their soldiers prefer to call it'contemporary art'. The small and medium-caliber magic guided guns we can import are far from the main guns. ," Odris said in a low voice, "but compared to the power of those cannons, I hope you can think about a deeper problem from now on."
