  Chapter 909 Tribulation fire falls from the sky (6200, 22, ask for a monthly ticket!)

   Not only the main battlefield located on the Golden Plain, but also the major towns in Nanling, which have fallen into a state of martial law, have also ushered in many crazy monster attacks.

  As long as even one town is breached by monsters, causing great casualties, the cursed soil will spread there—and the demon army will get an accurate coordinate, and can jump there directly from the golden plain.

But this kind of jump cannot be done at will. If the Nanling people deliberately abandon a town and lure the demon army into a trap, they will have no way to return to the Void Realm to avoid the artillery fire immediately after jumping... There are some defenders in the Western Region who sacrificed themselves to deceive The army of demons entered the trap and wrought considerable results.

   Therefore, the frontal battlefield must not be given up. The demon army needs to attract the Nanling troops to the front line, and then use various means to create jump points in the rear to carry out leapfrog strikes.

  But the unmanned army has responded at this moment—the unmanned armor may still have some flaws in facing the enemy head-on, but in the extremely familiar interior of Nanling, it is enough to do the work of 'clearing monsters' and 'suppressing riots'.

Even, with Xiou's precise manipulation technology, she can even do things like 'the second team of the Southwest Formation moves left by fifteen meters' and 'the second firepower armor angle of the Northern Formation adjusts by 15 degrees', which is too accurate. Micromanipulation ability.

   Not only that - when those lemures want to attack these unmanned armors, she can even control the surrounding drones and armors to retreat A at the same time.

  While moving and attacking, hundreds of drones spread out to avoid the attack, while those who were not attacked continued to attack. This kind of outrageous thing can happen, and only a real dragon can do it.

   No, maybe that's what real dragons do? No one said that the real dragon can only go to the front line by himself - as the essence of a civilization, it is a matter of course that the real dragon is proficient in war!

  However, Xiou's dragon soul computing power is not as good as Terra's heart.

  Focus on the operation of drones and armor, and other aspects are bound to be lacking.

  For a while, the artillery bombardment of the Nineteenth Legion temporarily stopped, because they could not track the constantly moving demon legion in real time, and covered the real world coordinates corresponding to their imaginary positions with firepower.

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon Legion also began to march with all its strength, rushing towards the Nineteenth Army, vowing to destroy this firepower point that could pose a threat to them.

Without the restraint of the Giant of Light and the legion's heavy artillery, the demons marched at an extremely fast speed, especially when they were directly divided into ten different troops, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they raided in different directions. The firepower of the 19th Legion Without the support of artificial intelligence, it is impossible to track this complex action trajectory in real time.

Under the leadership of the demonic officer, each army of inferior demons, beast monsters and demonized monsters has thousands of combat units. Even the weakest demonized monsters have the strength close to the first level. Most of the Nanling soldiers None of them have this strength, each of their troops can capture cities and cause massacres.

  On the Nanling side, the only thing they can rely on is equipment and fortifications.

   Just at the southern edge of the golden plain, concrete fortifications were erected in just ten days, which even formed an amazing Nanling Great Wall. The key nodes of this Great Wall are a large number of fortifications and automatic firepower nodes.

  The first time these fortifications came into play, it was a full-scale confrontation with the devil.

Entering the distance of hand-to-hand combat, the ability of demons to transfer into the void to avoid firepower is also weakened, because they need to be guided in place for a second or more before they can enter the void, and they will also be stiff when they emerge from the void. This is still blessed by the curse soil, if there is no curse soil, they have to stand in a daze for ten seconds or even a minute or two to do it.

   In the process, the defenders who had been on guard for a long time could use firepower to instantly destroy their bodies.

  The time has come for head-to-head.

Accompanied by the buzzing of steel, when the demons and monsters had rushed into the range of hand-to-hand combat, the elite 19th Legion, which had completed mechanized modification, attacked. These little giants in metal armor immediately built a silver line of defense, blocking the attack. The attack of the demons rushed like a tide.

   Then, there was an extremely tragic fight.

Relying on the power of the exoskeleton armor, elite human soldiers can kick away those monsters that are usually feared so much. Even the inferior monsters can cooperate with each other to repel them, and even use close-range melta guns and magnetic storm generators to fight back. 'Exorcise' it from the physical world.

   But the most terrifying thing is not these pioneers: the real killers are the snipers who are guided by the Dragon Soul version of Terra's Heart.

In common people's cognition, a sniper's shot means a life. This is actually an exaggeration. Even the most professional snipers cannot guarantee that they will hit the battlefield, and the firing speed is extremely slow, and they need to wait Opportunity to accurately shoot your own target.

  But now, from now on, the era of snipers has changed—with tiny high-heat beams piercing the air, hundreds of beams of light criss-cross the battlefield, weaving a huge net of death.

  In this net, every monster that was hit was killed on the spot, and every lemure that was targeted suffered a serious blow. This kind of terrifying precision is simply a disaster for the enemy of the war.

Moreover, these snipers are designed to shoot extremely fast. They only need to aim the 'frames' in front of their eyes at the enemy, and then wait until the lock is completed to fire. It is automated from beginning to end. As long as it is stable, the attack will be sure. will hit!

  Just three rounds of shooting, the demon army that was about to attack the fortification wall left behind a group of corpses and dissipated demon smoke.

  But the severe blow suffered by the forward immediately attracted the attention of the demon officers. They were confronting the sublimators of the 19th Legion just now and did not directly participate in the battle. But now, the unfavorable situation of the battle made them make up their minds and issued a call.

   Then, in the real world, accompanied by a huge phantom manifesting from the pitch-black mist, a 20 to 30 meter high beast monster appeared on the front line like a giant siege machine.

These shapes are similar to giant bulls, giant bears and various ferocious monsters, but the terrifying beast monsters, which are nearly ten times larger, raised their heads and roared to the sky. The terrifying spiritual impact began to spread in all directions. The 'halo of fear' and 'Fearless Reiki' was blessed on both the enemy and us at the same time.

   Then, the behemoths charged!

However, demonized monsters and lemurs are not affected by these forces, and in the mechanized troops, soldiers equipped with 'information filtering equipment' are not greatly affected, but the ordinary soldiers of the 19th Legion who are not mechanized are suddenly caught An uncontrollable panic and gaffe.

  Some of them peed their pants, some dropped their weapons as if insane, and started running around, and some pointed their guns at other teammates, as if they thought they were enemies, and then opened fire!

  The firepower in the rear became sparse in an instant, and some people even detonated the ammunition depot beside them under extreme tension for some reason.

  Boom! ! The huge flames exploded behind the line of defense, causing the morale of the 19th Legion to plummet, and the beast monsters took advantage of the situation to chase and shatter the defensive fortress and firepower network, creating a gap for the demon army to break through.

   No, not for some reason.

  Because some elite demon troops have sneaked into the battle formation, they began to confuse the imperial soldiers to kill each other!

  For a moment, the defense line that could have been supported was instantly retreated. The imperials dropped a large number of corpses. The snipers also encountered precise point kills from flying demon elites. Only a small part of them quickly escaped under the automatic retreat procedure of the exoskeleton armor.

  The situation took a turn for the worse.

  After the demonic officers and beast monsters entered the battlefield, the battle situation immediately became dangerous.

This is an army that cannot be stopped by the defense line at all. They can change the enemy's thinking at will, create fear and despair, invade the enemy's rear and destroy the enemy's logistics. This is the "extraordinary army" technology that the future Terra world must develop. For them, any army in the ordinary sense would be easily wiped out.

  But the Nanling side is not without backup.

  In the areas where the demon army is infesting seriously, unmanned armored troops appearing in such a simple shape that the outer armor shells have not been polished.

  The moment they appear, they will bring a large number of terrifying fire support, and after stabilizing the situation, they will not hesitate to find the elite demons to self-destruct without wasting any time.

  Although they couldn't prevent the beast monsters from destroying the city walls and leveling the small fortresses, they also bought time for the imperial army to retreat.

  Behind them, the second line of defense composed of all mechanized troops led by Yinfeng is waiting. They are about to start a head-to-head confrontation with the demon siege army led by beast monsters.

   And the battlefield is far more than here.

  In the distance, after launching a long-distance attack, the elite troops led by Yinfeng led by Qing Chao, "Steel Feather", directly hit the beast monster hatch behind the demon army, a sea of ​​flesh and blood.

Here, there are still beast monsters that are gestating and hatching—the monsters and demons that died on the front line will not wait for a long time to turn back into inferior demons after returning to the virtual world, but will be directly thrown into the incubation pool as raw materials for the beast monsters. .

   And those monsters with weak combat power will naturally not be regarded as combat power, but become the biological substrate of beast monsters.

  After hatching, these beast monsters will escape into the virtual realm, and then rush from the virtual realm to the battlefield to continue fighting.

Of course, as an extremely important place, there are also a group of elite demon guards and demon officers patrolling around the beast monster hatching pool... It's just that even the demon army is converted from humans, and their thinking is still limited to fighting artillery And the enemy's cavalry quickly raided.

   But it's like the era of giant ship cannons being replaced by aircraft carriers... Silver Peak has also entered a new era in this regard.

After arriving at the designated location, Qing Chao and others began to release a large number of drones on the spot—for a while, more than 300 drones soared into the sky like a swarm of bees, and then dived towards the beast monster hatching pool And go!

But this is not the end, every demon officer and lemurs with anti-air capabilities are anti-aircraft firepower, so without hesitation, after releasing the drones he carried, Qing Chao drew his sword and led the team forward, fighting with the already Find their demon defenders at war!

  For a moment, the sounds of swords and swords clashed into a melody in the plain area, and Qing Chao even fought against the five demon officers with his own strength, and he did not lose the wind!

   "Your swordsmanship is even less than one percent of the boss's!"

  He laughed and swung his sword, forced a demon back, and beheaded a monster. The purple-blue blood splashed on the armor, making the silver shell even more ferocious.

  Recently, apart from practicing meditation, Qingchao is practicing swordsmanship, and the object of swordsmanship is the "swordsman Ian" simulated by the heart of Terra!

  Facing the imitation AI Ian who always uses perfect tactics, predicts foresight, and makes no mistakes in every action, although Qingchao has been defeated repeatedly, he has learned a trace of the essence of true perfect swordsmanship!

   It's like those chess players who played chess with Xiou all improved their chess skills later, this is Qingchao's opportunity!

And in the future, all swordsmen and practitioners led by Yinfeng can simulate battles with AI with fixed routines, and even after collecting enough data, it is not impossible to simulate demons—although it is impossible to really simulate extraordinary power, But for pure swordsmanship and fighting skills, combat experience has been greatly improved.

Compared with those unidentified drones, the demon defenders naturally value these powerful elite swordsman groups in front of them more, but they don't know that the moment their attention shifted, every dive drone They all lit up with a dazzling magnetic storm brilliance.

All of a sudden, hundreds of drones that turned themselves into plasma bombs fell down like waterfalls, and hundreds of plasma pillars flickered between the sky and the earth like thunderstorms, and every flicker, there will be Large gaps were blasted out of the beast monster hatching pool, and those half-formed beast monsters died tragically in howling, and once again dissipated into black mist.

  When the plasma network was at its peak, it even turned into a sea of ​​thunder. Under the surging tide, all flesh and blood lairs were burned into black charcoal or pitch-like viscous pitch-black liquid.

   At present, the overall situation is still in a stalemate, and both sides have their own winners and losers.

  But the strategic trend is that the demon army is more dominant.

  Although the troops led by Yinfeng and the retreated troops of the 19th Army reorganized the second line of defense, the Devil Legion had indeed broken through the golden plain blockade and entered the interior of Nanling, and the 19th Army had also lost considerable combat power.

Nauman City, the capital of Nanling, is very close to the second line of defense, and several lemurs have even teleported to the edge of the city. Although they were shot down by the defenders, this is enough to prove that it is almost impossible for the formed Cursed Soil and Demon Legion to be destroyed by several demons. defended by a line of defense.

But even so, the Demon Legion was unable to expand its advantage—their Warcraft troops wanted to harvest the population of ordinary villages and towns around them, and when they continued to expand the Cursed Soil, they found that all the villages and towns inside Nanling had become no-man's land, and everyone All were incorporated into large cities with fortified defenses.

After all, unlike the knight lords and marginal nobles in the Golden Plain, Ian and the Marquis of Barton can completely control the actions of all the nobles and villages in the South Ridge—even if someone doesn’t want to leave their hometown, the gendarmerie will force them to take them into custody, but they won’t let you Talk about human rights and freedom of choice.

   It's just that, similarly, as the 19th Army retreated, most of the heavy firepower was destroyed, and the demons in Nanling didn't have to be trapped in the void, but could move freely in the real world and try to attack the city.

  However, unlike other cities in the western region, the residents of Nanling will not have any fear even if they see a huge demon flapping its wings and turning around the city.

   On the contrary, even ordinary people, as long as they have weapons in their hands, will shout fanatically and shoot towards the sky.

   This fear that cannot spread also curbs the spread of the cursed soil.

  Under the fanatical sense of war and religious propaganda, even demons cannot easily invade.

  When the war has reached this point, it can only be seen who the troops of both sides collapse first, or whether the strongest of both sides will decide the winner.

   At this time, the battlefield was gradually approaching, and the Nanling people who were still watching the live broadcast of the battlefield also gave birth to a second wave of "prayer" power.

The first time it was catalyzed by Ian's use of false images was just an introduction, which gave the people of Nanling a sense of identity, but now, with the long-term stationed in Nanling's 19th Army retreating to the second line of defense, the real The 'sense of crisis' and 'fear of dying' began to emerge.

   However, under Ian's long-term publicity, this fear did not last long, and it was transformed into a hope that the Nanling army would fight back.

  A power that reunites the giants of light once again, roaring in the void and attacking the demon army!

  【The old trick is repeated! 】

  At this moment, Deathstroke, who was fighting with Ian in the real world, sneered and said: [Now without the firepower of the 19th Legion, without the support of the super-heavy artillery from the Issa Territory, what are you going to do to destroy our Demon Legion! 】

And along with his words, as the light in the virtual world suddenly lit up, a large amount of black mist changed from the virtual world to reality—the army of demons who were trimmed in the virtual world had all transferred from the virtual world to the real world, they It is preparing to launch a full-scale attack towards the second line of defense.

  The giant of light can't penetrate the virtual world and reality with one blow. Without heavy fire coverage, the demons can easily transfer to the real world, and wait until the giant of light's dominance period is over!

   "A full set of demon warfare, this is definitely not something that Flameland can develop."

  But Ian is talking about something completely unrelated to war at this moment: "Sure enough, you got the fire of the abyss—you got the entire database of an alien demon civilization, and analyzed and absorbed them for your own use."

   "Is it the demon dragon? That monster you hide in the deepest part of the Void of the West is the abyss dragon?" he said firmly.

  Death Knell was taken aback for a moment, then charged towards Ian with a big laugh:【You know that too? Sure enough, was He successfully born in the future? This war is really the most uncomfortable one to fight. It turns out that the prophet can even know your hole cards early】

  【But this time, there is no need for him to appear, and you will be defeated by me! 】

"wrong."

  The goblin Ian swung his sword, forcing Death Knell back, and flew backwards lightly, avoiding the sonic cluster cannon that the Death Knell erupted in the dark.

  He smiled and said: "Why do you think I want to hold you back, and why do I build two lines of defense that are obviously impossible to stop the devil, forcing you to concentrate your main forces around the line of defense?"

   "I'm waiting for a space-based weapon to take aim, what are you waiting for?"

【What? ] At this moment, Death Bell was stunned, and then, under the blessing of the cursed soil, his powerful telepathic ability made him aware of an extremely terrifying crisis.

  A kind of...unstoppable, inescapable crisis, no matter where it is located in the golden plain, it is impossible to escape the crisis!

【Oops! 】

  At this moment, Deathstroke opened his eyes wide and raised his head to look at the sky.

   As early as ten minutes ago, when Ian mobilized Terra's mental calculation power and turned on the full power state to fight him, the attack in the sky had already begun.

Aiming from the orbit of the Terra satellite, it takes about 15 minutes to fall to the surface. During these 15 minutes, it is necessary to ensure that the enemy is in the same position and does not move. Crisis came.

Therefore, during these fifteen minutes, the demon army fell into the most intense offensive and defensive battle on the second line of defense in Nanling. When they noticed that the Yinfeng army and the 19th army on the second line of defense were hiding in underground bunkers, they fought with them When all of them are unmanned armor and drones, they have no time to retreat.

  In the void, Adalbert, who shot just right, is forcing all the demons to withdraw from the void—compared to the unknown danger in the sky, the heavy punch of the giant of light is indeed more terrifying.

  Up to now, 70% of the demon army is located in the middle of the first and second lines of defense in Nanling... an empty no-man's land without any bunkers!

   And at this moment, they saw the stars!

  Everyone saw the stars.

Nanling, the holy mountain of Tiangang, is building the second super-giant magnetic storm tower. The elder Manya, who is ready to fight the devil afterward, stares at the hundreds of dense flame stars that suddenly light up on the top of the sky. The long tails are continuous and even converge into a whole.

   "The fire of calamity falls from the top of the sky... Judgment will come."

The former priest of the Dragon God, now the archbishop of the Chongling Sect, the elder Manya silently recited the prophecy that Ian had announced to everyone, but found that everyone around him, even his grandson, knelt on one knee, I bowed my head and prayed devoutly to the flames of catastrophe that descended from the sky.

   "It seems that the prophet's prophecy has been fulfilled." He stared at the dark void in the distance, and the old man who had reached the third energy level smiled: "Then, it's time to set off."

   "Look. Kemita, my child..."

Harrison Port, at the top of the Viscount's mansion, Viscount Grant held his one-year-old child in his arms, and looked at the sky fire that had already formed a line in the distance with emotion: "This is the power that your teacher can summon... a true prophet, a true A genius, far surpassing the existence of your father."

   "And now, I'm going to fight for future capital for you."

   Delivered Kemita, who had completely inherited the blood of the Abyssal Whale and had blue hair, into the hands of his mother. Viscount Grant drove the ether weapon and set off on fire.

   And his strength... is far beyond the past!

  Whether it's Nauman City or Xiahui City, whether it's Harrison Port or Agate Plain, whether it's mountain people or imperial people, everyone has seen the continuous fire that descended from the top of the sky.

  No need for live broadcast, no need for a silver screen, just look up and you can see, everything is just as predicted by the prophet—nearly endless shooting stars dragging the red line of fire, filling the entire sky, they continue to fall until...

  Fall to the ground!
