Chapter 627： Monsters and machines

Red Maple's city-level shields are closed.

A sturdy and thin energy barrier hangs over the plain city, and the powerful magic is taken from the magical focus of the city's underground, and through the rune array's grooming and projection, it becomes a stronger barrier than the rock. At the same time as the barriers closed, the fire from the plains fell to the wall like a rain.

The harsh whistling sounds like the sorrowful banshee at midnight, and the metal bullets wrapped in light blue air masses draw a bright arc in the air, constantly bombing the shield of Hongfeng City, large and large. The explosion flash illuminates continuously on the surface of the shield, as if a skyfire storm - the shield of the city trembled fiercely in the explosion, and the layers of ripples continued to spread from the point of attack, but in any case, the shield was still successful. The ground resisted the first wave of the Cecil.

It stands above the city, blocking all shelling, and a low snoring echoes in the outer city, which is the sound of the underground magical facilities.

On the wall, a cluster of commanders showed the expression of the rest of the life, and looked at the large shields that burst into a large flash. The long exit gas: "Blocked!"

However, Heaton glanced at the commander: "Idiot, the battle has just begun!"

The dark godmother did not relax at all because the Red Maple shield blocked the Cecil’s "fire". On the contrary, he knew that the battle had just begun - he even knew that the collapse of the Rock Fortress, It was from their city-level shield that blocked the attack of the Cecil.

After this period of understanding, he has mastered many of the characteristics of the South Army Corps. He knows that the devices that can project explosions and beams are not like traditional magic props. They don't need the Master to help them charge, they can run continuously. Their cost seems to be so low that damaged equipment can be replaced and replenished in a short period of time. Their disadvantage is that they are rigid and can only release fixed spells, but the Cecils make a huge variety of different types. The device makes up for this shortcoming...

In the face of such an enemy, the traditional "fortress tactics" is a dead end.

The Red Maple Shield blocked the Cecil's first round of offense. For Heaton, its greatest significance was to give yourself the opportunity to continue fighting.

"Immediately summon the southern shrines and let them return to Hongfeng and attack the rear of the Cecils," Heaton said, turning to the subordinates. "Let Corode come back immediately and destroy the West from the east." The position of the people..."

Heaton quickly arranged the order, but he hadn't finished it yet, and a few extraordinary screams suddenly came from the sky on the west side -

The whistling sound is louder than the ordinary "Heavenly Fire", and there is some kind of creepy humming in the middle. In the moment of a short sigh of relief, he perceives that there are several extra strong impacts that hit the Red Maple. Side barrier! !

Bang, boom, boom! !

The shield on the west side of the city burst into a glare of glare, and the entire wall trembled in front of this powerful impact. After these powerful impacts, the continuous and exciting The low screams of trepidation, as if the powerful energy flow is focusing, scouring the barrier on the west side of the city.

It is the battleships of the Cecils! !

They even secretly moved to the red maple? When is it!

Heaton was furious, because he clearly remembered that the last warships were still in the rich woodland, and how fast those ships were driving? !

"Immediately inform Glim, let him find a way to stop those boats! Even if he used his own head to stuff them into the 'magic guns' of those ships!"

"Yes!"

After the new order was issued, Heaton did not feel relaxed at all, because he suddenly realized that the army of the Cecil seemed to be completely different from what he expected.

This army is not a kingdom army, not an aristocratic regiment in the east. It has no intention of following any rules of war. The chariots are attacking the red maple from the front, and the shelling from the Gorgon River is constantly bombarding the barrier on the west side. At the same time, the way of attack from land and water has never been thought of. It is like a pliers that is constantly being clamped, and has already caught the neck of the city.

This is not a tentative attack. The goal of the Cecil is to completely destroy the city in a short time.

......

In the eastern part of Hongfeng, the city has been completely turned into a ruined stone city, and the blood has been stained with red and collapsed walls.

One day and one night of the fierce battle made this ancient city stained with heavy blood. The knights and soldiers of the Mountain Legion rely on the only remaining walls and castles in the castle area to build a temporary line of defense, repelling another enemy attack. .

Countless twisted and swollen monsters fell on the courtyard and steps of the boulder castle. Countless heroic and fearless knights also fell in front of the shrinking defense lines. The warring parties had long since stopped thinking about the loss and gains. They competed for the castle. The narrower the land, and now, even the most heroic fighters are on the verge.

The sound of shouting in the castle area is getting weaker. The surviving soldiers and the last knights are relying on the broken walls to guard the defense line of the castle's inner court. Inside their crumbling defense line, the wizards and depleted arrows have long been exhausted. The Sagittarius shooters have picked up the bodyguard sword and prepared for the final melee. In the end, Victoria, who still has a small amount of mana, is standing in the center of the inner court and paying attention to the situation outside the wall through the eyes of the wizard.

Countless huge shadows are lingering between the ruins, and the monsters that are distorted are regrouping, ready to launch the next round of offenses – or the last round of offenses, and her tired warriors have reached the human physiological structure. limit.

She even saw the commanders of those monsters, an extraordinarily tall cluster of monsters - the monsters who had never kissed the battlefield before, showed great care and caution, but now it appears in the castle area, this is The chest has a well-behaved performance.

The monsters have already determined that the victory belongs to them... and the facts seem to be true.

Victoria slammed the white gold staff in the handshake, slowly calming down the turbulent atmosphere of over-casting, and hurrying to recover a mana. She calculated that the monsters would launch an attack in a few minutes and calculate that they were in this short. You can recover a few minutes in a few minutes.

But all of a sudden, an unexpected mess spread from among the monsters.

Victoria saw that the swollen and distorted giants began to tremble at the same time, shoving each other in chaos, and then looked up at the same time, looking in a direction outside the city, the extraordinarily tall monster with an expression of anger ( Although it is incredible, the monsters actually retain the human expression. They climbed a nearby wall in a group of subordinates and looked at the direction of the Gorgon River.

After a few seconds, the monsters gathered so quickly and retired from the castle area! !

The movement outside the inner court quickly caught the attention of the knights. A knight on the tower stunned and watched the movement between the inner court and the outer wall of the fortress. He suddenly shouted: "The monsters have returned!! ”

The same shout came from another whistle soon: "The monsters have returned and really returned!"

Victoria walked out of the crowd a bit, and for a moment I couldn’t understand what was going on, but in a short thought, she suddenly woke up—

Someone is attacking Red Maple!

In addition to this reason, she couldn't think of why the monsters gave up the castle that was about to be captured at this critical moment.

After realizing this possibility, Victoria’s heart was not only waiting for the peace of the reinforcements, she also thought of one thing she should do:

The monsters who can't let the Rock City go back to Red Maple - she must find a way to keep these monsters, at least the most elite part of them, even if it is temporarily delayed.

She didn't know who had successfully entered the polluted area. She didn't know who was attacking Hongfeng. She didn't even know if the other party was a reinforcement. But when she had no choice, she had to believe that it was a support army, then Under this premise, do everything possible to cooperate with each other's actions.

Victoria shook his platinum staff and took a sleek, pale gold snowflake charm from the close.

The surface of this talisman floats with a faint stream of light, and the light and shadow flicker, as if a frozen world is bound to the surface of the talisman.

She originally thought that she couldn't use this, but she didn't expect to wait for an unexpected turn. In order to seize this small turn, she thought she needed to use the power of her ancestors.

The sharp corners of the talisman pierced the palm of his hand. The blood of the Wilde family was soaked on the surface of the pale golden snow. Victoria sighed softly and spit out a word:

"Cold disaster."

Outside the castle area, Korode is gathering its cluster of crystals. The emergency command from Red Maple City and the smoldering breath of telepathy make the converters upset - just a little, maybe only a few hours. It will take no more than a day, and it will take down the little castle and crush the stubborn "Northern Queen" and her poor mountain army, but at this moment, he has to give up the war at hand, even Do not dare to delay.

Because of the critical situation of Hongfeng, even the crisis has reached the point where it is possible to break the city at any time.

If the red maple falls, if the high-ranking priests in the city are all killed, Corot and its subordinates will not escape the irrational ending - the plan of the ecclesiastical headquarters has not been completed, and the great priest's "final disobedience" "The ceremony is still in progress. All the gods, including Korod, can only be counted as unfinished products. If there is no upper node to share the pollution from the will of the gods, the transformed individuals like it cannot survive independently." .

So it must go to rescue Red Maple to rescue the Heaton, who does not know how to fight.

"Let you catch your breath," Corot looked back angrily at the castle. "I will soon..."

Its movements and thoughts are still at this moment of turning back.

A pale white halo spread quietly along the castle area, wherever the aura went, everything was quietly frozen.

These include the Mountain Corps, including Victoria, including the boulder castle, including Corode and its crystal clusters.

The entire castle area turned into an ice crystal.

......

The main forces of the Cecils entered the battlefield completely - those chariots were more than expected.

They came one after the other, appearing on the horizon like a group of steel worms. They were arranged in a loose array of offenses, not detaching from the cannon during the march, and steadily approaching the walls of Red Maple City.

The shelling from the Gorgon River had a short pause, but it re-exploded ten minutes ago. The people who were ordered to stop the warships apparently had failed, and in a burst of loud noises, the high-ranking priests of all things died. They are watching this hellish scene -

The chariot is advancing. There is no knight squad that screams for assault. There is no infantry squad that is sent to death. There is no chaotic slave corps. Heaton can't see any kind of battlefield elements he knows. He can only watch. To those cold steels are advancing - marching, firing, continuing to march, continue to fire...

The three units that have been attacked by the city have all been destroyed, and they have been under constant shooting and burning, and the Cecil's offensive is still maintaining a steady advance.

They are like some kind of machine, like some kind of sturdy, unshakable gear, they are running, moving forward, crushing all the things that are blocking the front of this machine, no glory, nothing to do with the aristocratic righteousness and bloodline mission, The only reason this machine is moving forward is because "propulsion" is its mission.

Heaton suddenly remembered what he had said -

God is a cold war weapon.

However, compared with the steel released by the Cecil, this weapon is probably too mild.

"Teacher," a sergeant exclaimed, his voice almost drowning in successive explosions. "The shield is almost impossible to hold!!"

"Use all the magic reserves, and then stick to it, Korod will come soon," Heaton said quickly. "When Korod and his elite are here, everything will be fine. They will hit the east." The sile of the Sylvan..."

"Teacher, Corod, he..." Another priest holding a crystal ball hesitated to speak. "Claude's mind has disappeared..."

"Damn!" Heaton cursed in a low voice. He felt his voice tremble a little, but he still tried to maintain his rational thinking. "Don't worry, the shield can still persist, let all the casters charge the shield." We can insist on returning to the southern legions, who will attack the Cecils from the rear..."

Yes, there is still a turning point. The Celsians’ "Skyfire" is powerful, but after all, it is impossible to destroy the city shields in a short period of time, including the three powerful warships. They seem to only attack the Xicheng District of Hongfeng. You can simply abandon the area and shrink the scope of the shield to the main city... In this way, Hongfeng City can still persist for a long time, enough to persist in the southern army of the gods to return to help...

Heaton comforted himself in the heart, but all of a sudden, an inexpressible heart surged into his heart and interrupted all his thoughts.

Along with this heart, there is a low, terrible sound coming from the sky.

"Express to pick it up -"

Heaton looked up in horror and saw a huge shadow passing over the distant clouds, and countless black things were falling from the sky with sharp whistling...
