Chapter 1398: Praying mantis

When the living mountain range began to move again after more than 20 consecutive supercritical accelerator bombardments, when its dark surface of kilometer after kilometer surged again with disgusting waves, when its biological cannons accumulated again. With more powerful energy than before, the entire battlefield seemed to have fallen into a short period of silence.

The soldiers saw the power of destroying the world when the supercritical accelerator was bombarded. Therefore, when they saw the "Crawl Disaster" encounter such a terrifying blast but were still unscathed, all those who witnessed this scene All felt a huge shock and fear.

No, it can’t be said that it was unscathed—the accelerating bodies that contained powerful energy did indeed cause a series of terrible scars on the surface of the creeping disaster, and the magical “material critical effect” evaporated hundreds of tons of this behemoth. , Thousand tons of body tissue, a large pitted trenches and rifts were dug in its upper layer. The scorching body fluid that transpired from the creeping disaster turned into a cloud and mist that condensed at low altitude, covering it like a dark cloud. Over the Dao Living Mountain Range, the splattered tissue fragments are still falling like a torrential rain, and even in such a purgatory state, the creeping disaster still maintains a high level of activity and starts to launch a counterattack.

The magic bullet mixed with a stream of blue light flew towards the shield of the Earthly Dawn amidst the whistling sound, a series of shots, almost all aimed at the same location—the nearby Gorgon fortress supported the shield for the first time Try to intercept this terrible attack, but the magic bullet of the creeping disaster can even hit the small reconnaissance plane located in the magic turbulence layer. Its "fire control" system is extremely powerful, and the Earthly Dawn is an overly large target. , The Gorgons' interception was unsuccessful.

A huge explosion that ruined the sky and the earth rose on the surface of the shield of the Earthly Dawn, and a new round of sun appeared in the waste soil shrouded in dim sky. The powerful energy fluidized into layers of shock waves in the sky. The circle spread out, and the shock wave even briefly dispersed the heavy clouds over the Tarashi Plain. In an instant, the normal sunlight shone on the land for a long time.

There was a creak like a heavy crystal cracking. There was a harsh creak over all the decks of the Earthly Dawn and the sharp whistling that followed immediately. The large shield was instantly filled with countless Interfering with the noise, the shield generators on the edge of the deck caught fire and exploded one by one. This powerful magic bullet was obviously different from the previous attacks. After a short delay of two or three seconds, the Earthly Dawn Finally, there was a terrible cracking sound on his big shield.

Destructive energy flooded into the fortress shield along the local breakdown point, turning into scorching flames and high-energy lightning sweeping everything on the deck.

The entire control hall vibrated violently, and the metal rubbing sound as if a huge ship was about to disintegrate stimulated everyone’s eardrums. A series of bubbles appeared from the main brain in the wetware slot and instantly took over the damage control system of the sky fortress. A large number of cabins were locked and isolated within a few seconds. Tons of fire extinguishing agent, blocking agent, and magic inert compound rushed through the pipelines throughout the fortress, spilling on every damaged area, in succession. In the sound of the sirens, Gina Prince firmly grasped the handrail in front of him and shouted loudly: "Report the damage! Report the status of the target!"

"The shield was partially broken down, and half of the shield generator was damaged. The redundant system is in operation. A large area of ​​decks A-2 to A-7 are melted down. The damage of the channels and cabins in the corresponding sectors is being counted. The main power has dropped to 76. %, the flight function is intact, and there are no statistics on the remaining damage," the voice of the main brain sounded directly in the hall, "the activity of the target is continuing to increase, and it is estimated that the energy response in the target's body will reach the second peak in ten minutes... Scanning to the'creeping disaster' 'There is a high-density energy flow deep underground, which is suspected to be related to the reactivation of the target.'

Jin Na felt a buzzing in her head, and the vibration in the depths of the hall was gradually returning to calm. This giant fortress seemed to have taken the terrible blow, but the report of the mastermind made her heart sink even more-the disaster of creeping. There was a high-density energy flow deep underground. After a brief period of confusion, she had realized what this piece of information meant.

This is the Deep Blue Well, the energy center of the Old Gondor Empire. Although the Old Gondor Empire has disappeared in history, the energy flow of the Deep Blue Well itself has never died out, the only high-density energy deep in this land. The source... is the deep blue network.

"That monster has pierced its roots into the deep blue network... It is absorbing the energy of this planet to attack us," Jin Na wiped the blood that did not know when from her forehead, her eyes staring at the holographic projection. The distant scene that came out, "Mastermind, how is your situation? Can you continue to support full-power computing?"

The sink where the main brain is located is glowing with light pink bubbles, and a tube connected to the main body is slowly flowing some kind of viscous light yellow liquid, and a neutralized synthetic sound sounds in the hall: "I have entered the overload. State, but part of the nervous system is damaged, the control efficiency of the entire ship has dropped to 80%, and artificial computing power is required."

Gina Prince raised her head and glanced at the immersion cabins arranged near the main brain slot. The silver-white metallic cockpits were open, and the nerve contacts on the internal seats were glowing with cold light under the lights. .

"...All commanders, go into the immersion cabin," Jin Na said in a deep voice, "Order to the Gorgon formation to reload the supercritical accelerator and wait for the order of the Earthly Dawn to prepare to launch again."

Upon receiving the command from the top commander, the commanders in the control hall acted quickly. They did not hesitate to lie in the immersion cabin marked with their own number, and within a few seconds, they closed the hatch and entered the deep connection state. , Using his brain to directly contact the various systems of the Earthly Dawn, only a few officers including Jin Na remained in the real world to continue to command the battle.

Use the immersion cabin to assist in the control of the Earthly Dawn. This is an "emergency system" left by this giant fortress at the beginning of its design. When the battle is the most intense and the situation is most critical, the controllers of this fortress can This method directly connects one's own brain with the Earthly Dawn, and assists in enhancing the power of the main brain, which will increase the operational efficiency and combat flexibility of the entire fortress to an incredible height—at the cost of the operator Our lives will be tied to the various systems of the Sky Fortress.

Shield overload, gun mount damage, armor penetration, and every damage that occurs on Earthly Dawn means that the people connected to it have to bear a direct nerve impact-with steel as the body, and the same life as steel.

The huge command hall became "empty" in an instant. Jin Na looked at the immersion cabins that had been quietly closed, took a deep breath, and returned to the holographic projection in front of her, indicating that the locked mark appeared again. In the center of the screen, she calmed down and started calling: "Chief artillery, report on the supercritical accelerator."

There was only silence in the communicator.

"Chief Artillery, report on the situation of the supercritical accelerator," after waiting a while, Gina Prince called again, "The Earthly Dawn needs to be put into battle again, Commander Artillery, report to your side..."

There was a sizzle from the communicator. After a moment of interference, Jin Na heard Rebecca's voice: "This is Rebecca Cecil. The artillery commander has died. The deputy commander and the second The first-level artillery warlock officer was also killed, and the accelerator array is now under my direct command."

Jin Na was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "Your Highness, you..."

"I'm listening to your instructions," Rebecca's voice sounded again. Through the disturbing noise, Jin Na could not recognize the emotion of the imperial princess opposite, nor could she imagine the situation on the other side. "The reloading is complete. , When to fire?"

Jin Na looked at the distant scene in the holographic projection. The living mountain range covering the earth was slowly undulating, and countless shocking scars spread all over her surface. The high temperature caused by the previous launch of the magic bullet has not yet faded, and the distant sky is scorching hot. And the slightly distorted, thick clouds that had been dispersed for a while gathered together at some point. Under the dim sky, a light blue stream of light was gradually surging in the blood and gully of the creeping disaster, indicating that it was moving. Brewing the next ferocious attack.

"Now," Gina Prince said briefly.

In the next second, there was a whistling caused by energy turbulence from the depths of the Earthly Dawn, followed by the shocking impact when the supercritical accelerator was activated. The entire sky fortress shook violently, and more than ten dazzling lights passed. It rushed to the end of the earth like a spear, and at almost the same time, the Gorgon fortresses sailing near the Earthly Dawn also roared, one after another bright "cannon fire" trajectory burning the atmosphere and tearing the sky. Severely bombarded the surface of the creeping disaster.

A deafening explosion swept across the distant earth. The mushroom cloud and the **** thick fog that the flesh and blood tissue was vaporized made the entire Deep Blue Well shrouded in a storm cyclone. The creeping disaster was brewing assault. This sudden fierce counterattack was interrupted, and the energy drawn from the Deep Blue Well ran around the earth, turning into electric lights scattered all over the ground, and swept across the small half of the Tarash Plain like a group of beasts running out of control. .

Almost every front line of the Alliance witnessed this terrible confrontation throughout the Tarash Plain. They saw the flashes of light rising from the sky and the plumes of smoke that resembled a hundred volcanic eruptions. However, no one has the leisure time to sigh with emotion at this spectacular moment-the tide of distortion is still frantically attacking the defenses around each "terminal tower".

Gina Prince stared at the thick cloud at the end of the horizon. In the thick cloud, the naked eye could not see the situation of the creeping disaster at this moment. The powerful energy interference also caused the many sensing devices of the Earthly Dawn. Unable to scan the energy response of the target point, she heard a low voice from a commander next to her: "It's over..."

"The goal still exists."

The voice of the main brain lacking emotional fluctuations sounded in the hall, like a winter wind blowing through this summer.

On the holographic projection, the thick smoke at the far end of the earth was just blown away by a gust of wind. After the smoke composed of high-heat steam, dust and radioactive energy clouds dissipated, a black biological giant still creeping slowly appeared to everyone. In sight, its condition is shocking. Almost all the tentacles and limbs on its surface have been smoothed by the energy impact. Large areas of flesh and blood have turned into clouds in the sky and the scorching blood rain on the nearby battlefield in the previous blast. There was magma flowing on the earth, part of that magma even poured into the body of the creeping disaster, part of its "organs" foamed in the magma, and smoked.

But this symbol of disaster is still alive, and the slow regeneration process has begun.

Gina Prince saw the blue flowing light. Those light streams slowly converged in the body of the creeping disaster, converging along the burned blood vessels, nerves and muscle clusters, and became the focal point of the giant biological cannon. One ball of light.

Not only is it alive, it is also preparing to launch a counterattack.

But Jin Na also noticed that the creeping disaster had obviously reached the stage where the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dead. Its huge body was almost torn into more than a dozen pieces by the supercritical accelerator. Relying on the limited "granulation" to barely maintain the whole, many of its organs have been exposed, and after every beat, it shows signs of more decline. The energy drawn from the dark blue network is between its nerves and muscles. Flowing, blue smoke will appear wherever it passes, and the black scorch marks that represent decline spread along the trajectory of those energy flows, and now it has almost covered two-thirds of the body of Creeping Disaster.

Obviously, dozens of accelerator bombings have caused fatal damage to that thing, and it is not easy to directly extract the energy of the planet to launch an attack. In order to counter the threat of the Earthly Dawn, the creeping disaster must be reckless. The earth swallows the power that does not belong to it-this power allows it to penetrate the shield of the earthly dawn, but it is also burning the monster from the inside out.

"It's going to die..." Gina Prince gritted her teeth. "Maybe it just needs another round and it will be completely finished! We still need..."

"Commander, the shield of the Earthly Dawn cannot withstand the next attack," the main brain's lack of emotion sounded in the hall, telling the facts with cold numbers, "The supercritical accelerator needs to be cooled and reloaded. It is a creeping disaster. The attack will arrive before then, and our remaining secondary artillery, main artillery, and infernal incendiary bombs are unable to cause effective damage to the target-this ship recommends that all humans in the fort evacuate immediately."

"...All humans leave immediately?" Jin Na looked at the mastermind, "what do you mean?"

"...At the beginning of the design, His Royal Highness Rebecca, the creator, preset me the ability to fight independently," the mastermind said calmly, "Although the efficiency will drop a bit, this is an acceptable plan. I will come in the next round of attacks. Do your best to survive at the time, and survive until all the accelerators are launched—under the simultaneous attack of the other Gorgon sister ships, this should be able to destroy the target."

Jin Na took a breath, but just as she was about to say something, an officer's voice suddenly came from the side: "Sir! Look over there!"

Jin Na looked at the largest holographic projection in the hall in surprise.

She saw bright flames suddenly appeared above the living mountain range, which were the trails of thunder, lightning and flames in the sky, and she saw huge bodies appearing behind the clouds. It is the shadow of the dragon that controls the sky.

Hundreds of giant dragons rushed out of the clouds, hovering over the creeping disaster like a furious storm, and swooped toward the filthy and undulating flesh and blood.
