Chapter 632： Rapid deterioration

The cluster of giants has changed collectively.

In the north of the Hongfeng area, the No. 3 highland, the sky is gloomy, the wind is whistling, and the artillery is roaring.

A large number of cluster giants wandering from the eastern region are rushing on the plains. The horrible monsters that are swollen and deformed are acting wildly, sweeping across the plains, rushing across the hills, some rushing into the distance, and some impacting the defense lines of the regiment. The glaring Arcane Arc cut through the air, illuminating the polluted plains under dim skylights, and the gunfire continued for a moment on the No. 3 high ground that supported the important nodes of the line of defense.

The heavy magical cannon finely adjusts the angle of the shot under the action of the mechanical device. The rune orbit flashes brightly, and the cannonballs wrapped in the light blue air mass fly to the far side. The warhammer type i in the tank bunker is also frequently fired. The shells bombarded the plains on the eastern side of the highlands, interweaving the impenetrable firepower net.

A Captain Cecil wearing a white blue armor stood behind the bunker and used tactical eyepieces to observe the situation on the battlefield.

The blast of explosions and shock waves covered the frenzied clusters, with countless twisted limbs and broken crystals being blown up into the sky every minute, but in the faint skylight, there are still countless monsters. It is coming from afar and falls on this death line insignificantly.

The captain closed the eyepiece and turned to leave the bunker.

Nearby, the commander added a magical scream: "The second bombardment queue cools, replaces the acceleration track - the third queue starts shooting!" "The burner is warmed up!" "The shell has been delivered!" "The Trailblazer Arrived location!"

The captain quickly passed through the busy artillery positions and the tunnels that supplied the supplies. The fire and commanding sounds of the weapons were filled with him. He crossed a sentry post and walked toward a tall, wearing knight's emblem and a black-and-white coat of arms. The commander of the short cloak.

Three short muffled sounds came from the side, three bright signal flares were hit into the sky, and the eye-catching flash illuminates the camp, shining on the knight's silver-white armor surface.

"Sir! The enemy's offensive has been contained, they are suppressed outside the line of defense," the captain said to the commanding officer in front of him, and said quickly, "but the monsters did not show signs of retreat, nor traces of discipline. Showing a complete frenzy."

The commander nodded: "Continue to consolidate the east line of defense, no matter how many they come, they must be eliminated on the fire line - we have sufficient supplies."

"Yes, sir."

The captain took the lead and the commander took a look at the situation on the battlefield and then turned to the command post.

A low humming sound came from the direction of the Gorgon River. In the radiance of the signal flares, two horrible energy beams like the long river of light suddenly spurred, and they pierced the dim sky, from west to east. Traversing the entire battlefield, and then solemnly sweeping the plains of the giant clusters, the beam sweeps over, the giants and the rocks evaporate together, and the earth is only a hot scorched earth.

In the headquarters of the command post, the magic network terminal is running, and the holographic projection shows the bust of the ground commander Philip.

The commander stood in front of the terminal and the voice was loud: "General, the No. 3 high-altitude defense line has been stabilized, the calibration beam has been cleaned in the eastern and northern extensions, and we can arrange the next stronghold."

"Maintain the fire suppression, and the next propulsion unit will enter the field from the southwest after thirty minutes," Philip said calmly. "How about the cluster giants over there?"

"Out of control, frenzied, almost irrational, but there is no sign of a decline in power."

“I haven’t found any crystallographic commanders who are sensible yet?”

"not found."

"...I understand. Continue to perform the mission, commander."

"Roger that."

In the main army command post, Philippe came to Gao Wen, who was now copying the information from the back. Before Philip's opening, Gao Wen had already raised his head: "The cluster army looks completely out of control."

After waiting for Philip to ask, Gao Wen raised the paper in his hand: "Carmel’s news from Pompeii, all the commander-level cluster giants in the isolation cages of the laboratory are At the same time mad - they can not all be subordinate units of the Red Maple node."

"Pompey Lab?!" Phillips was shocked. "Is it all right?"

"There is a fully armed force and a legendary ancient magician sitting in the town, it is impossible to accidentally - all the out-of-control monsters have been destroyed, and the infected carriers who have been treated with isolation have been safely transferred. There is no need to worry about this - - Fortunately, those who only carry the infection are not affected."

"The situation in front of me is very strange..." Philip said with a frown. "The appearance of the monsters is not the same as the loss of control caused by the collapse of the superior node..."

"Yes, if it is the loss of control caused by the collapse of the superior node, those cluster giants will quickly weaken while losing their senses. After an hour, they are almost like ordinary beasts, but now those out of control cluster giants are just frenzied. There was no decline in power," Gao Wen threw the papers on the table with a serious tone. "They are not 'out of control', but a new, completely crazy mind becomes their highest node."

Philip felt a chill, and Gao Wen continued: "The only good news at the moment is that the cluster giants after the frenzy did not evolve in power. We can still maintain the line of defense and continue to push north, but on the other hand, lose organization. The cluster of giants has become more difficult to constrain..."

As soon as he spoke halfway, the nearby air suddenly twisted, and the figure of amber emerged from the air. Miss Half Elf handed a copy of the information to Gao Wen’s hand: "The Maryland side came urgently." ”

Gao Wen took the information and took a quick glance. He looked up at Philip: "The situation is the same as I expected. - The Iron Threshold No. 0 is at the entrance to the East and suddenly caught in a frenzied cluster of giants. The control is indeed the whole crystal. Cluster army."

In that emergency intelligence, Maryland reported on the road to the east: the countless, frenzied clusters of giants and low-level infected people are spreading blindly, and a considerable part of them rushed to the blockade established by the Iron Throne. Up - The Maryland Knights have relied on armored trains, armed railways, and a large number of temporary barriers, bunkers, and mountain bunkers to establish defenses. Currently, he blocks the portals where the infected people enter the east, and continues to increase their defenses.

Relying on the strength of the Iron Throne, coupled with the support of the White Sands Mining Armed Forces, the Maryland Knights should be able to control the situation on the ground and even extend the line of defense to the west - war technicians are spreading the railroad under the cover of artillery To expand the scope of the activities of the Iron Throne to the plains of the Holy Spirit, the goal of the Maryland Knights is to drive the Iron Throne into Sorinburg by means of “defensive advancement” – so that he can build a new line of defense by relying on the solid work of Sorinburg. A certain depth, to the greatest extent possible to ensure the safety of the unpolluted areas in the east.

It turns out that Gao Wen’s judgment on Maryland was correct – it was a capable person, and although he was born in Ansu’s traditional aristocracy, it had the value of transformation. After undergoing advanced knowledge indoctrination and actual contact with the Cecil Army, Maryland’s original military capabilities were inspired and strengthened. He is good at using defensive for offense, and this tactic will be the most powerful with the help of armored trains. the value of.

"Where is Sonya?" Gao Wen turned to look at the amber. "She should be coming back soon."

"She was returning from the direction of the tulip when she contacted twenty minutes ago. This time is almost..."

"I have already returned," the amber voice did not fall, and a clear voice came from the door. Gao Wen followed the sound and saw that the high-level messenger wearing the light leather armor had already appeared in front of his eyes. "The north is all trapped." Crazy monsters, also east, and worse... After crossing the tulip, the wandering clusters were found in the western Gorgon River."

"Does the pollution really cross the river?" Gao Wen couldn't help but hold the fist. "How much?"

"I don't dare to fly too far, but I saw that the private soldiers of the local aristocracy are fighting against the small cluster of monsters. There are not many enemies crossing the Gorgon River. After all, our fleet is still Blocking the river, most of the monsters trying to cross the river will be solved by the coastal defense. Only the northern...the front line of the legion has not yet advanced there, there is a gap there."

Gao Wen brow could not help but wrinkle, but must accept this situation.

In the original plan, he wanted to completely block the Gorgon River and seal the entrance to the east. This way, together with the armored barriers in the South and the St. Sunil-Beijing Mountains in the north, you can put the crystals. The cluster infection was completely blocked in the eastern plains of the Holy Spirit, so that everything would become controllable. However, when the plan was completed, there would be an accident. From the beginning, he made the worst mental preparation: the army was on the north. The speed does not necessarily catch up with the speed at which the clusters spread. It is possible for pollution to cross the Gorgon River and enter the western plains of the Holy Spirit.

Now, the situation has only evolved in the direction of this expectation.

But this does not mean that everything will go out of control - although the cluster infection is terrible, but the large-scale outburst requires relatively harsh conditions, and now there is evidence that the reason why the end of all things will be able to pollute the entire mammoth crossing for a short time, It relies on long-term preparations and a large-scale sacrifice ceremony, and without the aid of these preparations and rituals, the rate of infection of the clusters will not exceed the general disease.

As long as the scale of pollution invading the western part of the plain does not exceed a certain critical point, as long as the local aristocracy has not been able to give up resistance in the same place, the situation will not be out of control for the time being.

"Pass me to order, let Byron speed up the blockade of the northern river channel, and inform Sir Wald to draw 5,000 people from the Second Corps along the river to help block the river and clear the pollution in the West Bank." Gao Wen looked at the amber and quickly told the road. "In addition, is there still no way to contact the officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau in St. Sunil City?"

Amber shook his head: "The secret relay station that has been extended from St. Suner may have been destroyed, and the contact points and informants of other routes have now lost contact, including in the West Bank."

"Maybe... I can challenge to fly directly to St. Sunil," Sonya said suddenly. "I can send the reinforcements to Silver Fort..."

"Do you have to fly over the polluted area all the way, without stopping in the middle? Or is it a safe route from the western plains?" Gao Wen looked at Sonya. "If you fly to St. Sunil in a straight line, you have to maintain the highest altitude. People and giant eagle can't stand it, and there is no place for you to land on this road. If you take an arc from the western plains, the journey will be extended two to three times, plus the time of rest in the middle of the giant eagle. When you fly to St. Sunil, the nobles of the kings may have abandoned the city and fled."

The defenders of Wangdu must be aware of the existence of the reinforcements - this is the consensus reached by Gao Wen and Victoria last time. It is impossible for a hopeless army to hold the city, even if they have the most powerful defense system in Ansu, and the clear reinforcements can greatly inspire the courage of the defending soldiers, relying on the Cavaliers to supervise and rely on It is especially useful in the kingdom of pure human combat.

However, the sudden turn of the situation disrupted Gao Wen’s plan – the sudden madness of the cluster began to move randomly throughout the plains, and the enemy distribution and safety routes that were previously difficult to detect were instantly lost and sent to St. Sunil. The messenger will take on even greater risks, while on the other hand, the pressure of the mad cluster of troops on St. Sunil may increase sharply, and the possibility of the king’s garrison abandoning the city is rapidly increasing, leaving the messenger The time is even worse.

However, St. Sunil must not be lost.

Just then, a nice but slightly cold voice suddenly came into everyone's ears: "Ms. Sonya, is the Master Tower of Tulip Fort still there?"

Gao Wen looked up and saw the North Duke, Victoria Verde, standing at the door.

After a brief thought, Sonya nodded: "The castle is half-destroyed, but the Master Tower is still there."

"That tower is a high-powered communication tower," Victoria said. "Take me in the past. With the increase of the tower, I can contact Silver Fort."
