Chapter 97 Arriving at Montenegro
On the edge of the dark valley, the Black Mountain Fortress.
Endless monsters have tightly besieged the entire fortress, like an isolated island in the black sea, being continuously beaten by endless waves.
In mid-air, golden-red meteorites and blue thunder cannonballs pierced the sky. There were roars and explosions on the battlefield, but they were eventually covered by the screams of monsters.
The four walls of the fortress were almost completely covered by monsters. Mountains of flesh composed of monsters clung to the walls like ivy vines and spread upward.
After the monsters reached the top of the city wall, they were quickly torn apart by the human soldiers with swords and spears in their hands. A large number of monster corpses mixed with human soldiers poured down from the city wall like raindrops, and fell into the black wave at the bottom, being silenced. Devouring it, there was no splash, leaving only the increasingly rich smell of blood in the air.
"retreat!"
A loud shout resounded on the city wall, and the soldiers near the wall pier hurriedly retreated after hearing the order. As soon as they retreated, countless lightning began to flash on the four walls, and the cold fortress walls turned into scalding barbecue in an instant. Pan, the sound of electric current is connected into one.
The bodies of the monsters clinging to the wall turned into charred corpses under the thunder, and they fell one after another. The thunder lasted for about ten seconds before gradually fading away. At this time, there was no trace of any monsters on the wall, leaving only graffiti. Dark red bloodstains covered the entire city wall and deep coke piled up under the walls. Rich black smoke rose from the coke and shot straight into the sky.
In the billowing black smoke, pairs of scarlet eyes opened, like evil spirits from hell, slowly rising into the black smoke. It was the monsters that started another attack on the city, stepping on the corpses of their own kind.
"How long until those dragon-slaying allies arrive?"
On the large airship suspended above the battlefield, Thorne looked down at the fierce offensive and defensive battle below, frowning. This was already the third time within a week that monsters had attacked the city. The monsters' attacks became more fierce each time, approaching the point of madness.
Even as the coach, he has suffered serious injuries now. The lava armor he wears is covered with large and small holes, and only half of the flame cloak on the rear is left. Although he looks embarrassed, he has The lingering hot aura became increasingly intense, even to the point of distorting the surrounding air.
Rebecca, who had been following him, felt the gradually boiling heat in the air. She retreated a distance before she felt a little better. After hearing Thorne's question, she looked up at Tianshi and replied:
"We should be there before noon."
"Noon?" Thorne's brows furrowed even more. It was about an hour before noon.
"Let the entire Purgatory Army prepare and prepare to drop anchor in ten minutes!"
After receiving the order, Rebecca did not act. Instead, she looked worriedly at the magma that began to flow on Thorne's armor. Although frequent battles will continue to improve the strength of the Purgatory Army, after exceeding a certain limit, they will have There is a danger of self-immolation, especially for Thorne as the coach, whose temperature is now on the verge of reaching the limit.
"General, you can't fight anymore, if you continue like this..."
Before Rebecca could finish her words of admonishment, she was interrupted by Thorne's sharp shout.
"Go quickly, this is a military order, understand! I won't die so easily."
"yes."
Rebecca left, and Thorne continued to look down at the battle below. However, light white smoke began to emit from the guardrail pressed by his palm, and black scorch marks appeared on the edge of his palm. Just touching it can cause such an effect. , one can imagine the temperature on Thorne's body.
A few minutes later, Rebecca returned and stood quietly behind Thorne. Even though her smooth forehead was covered with beads of sweat, she had no intention of retreating. As a scholar, her physical fitness was not outstanding, let alone Thorne is now like a living iron.
Time passed quickly in silence, and he estimated that ten minutes were almost gone. Thorne glanced at Rebecca, who had been standing silently next to him. A trace of softness flashed between his eyebrows, but it was quickly covered up by the surging fighting spirit. He released his palms from the guardrail and turned around to walk towards the anchor. At the same time, a loud shout spread throughout the ship.
"All the Purgatory Army, prepare to drop anchor!!"
"Wait, General!"
Thorne's progress paused, and Rebecca's surprised shout came from behind:
"General, reinforcements have arrived."
Thorne suddenly turned around and saw a fleet of airships in the distance approaching quickly from the horizon, led by three large armed airships. Among them, the airship on the right was the leading one and was almost approaching the battlefield.
Thorne looked intently, and on the bow of the airship opposite, a familiar figure in a black cloak gradually became clear.
"Xinhuo?"
………
On the Sun Chaser, Xu Yue stood tall at the front of the ship, overlooking the endless black demonic tide below, his eyes cold.
"Prepare the magic energy main gun."
The sound of mechanical operation came from beneath the feet. The front of the Sun Chaser's hull unfolded, and a huge gun barrel protruded from the inside of the hull. Countless dense inscriptions on the gun body began to light up one by one, and a white light shone at the muzzle. Gathering together, it becomes more and more dazzling.
"put!"
"boom!!"
After a roar, the Sun Chaser was violently shaken, and a huge beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth crashed from the airship into the center of the demonic tide. The entire battlefield was shrouded in this sky-dazzling white light, and then there was a ball of more than a hundred meters high. A giant mushroom cloud rose on the battlefield, and the raging smoke and dust continued to expand along with the air waves.
Within the mushroom cloud, all the monsters within the coverage area were turned into powder the moment the light pillar hit the ground. An ugly crater was also left on the ground. Outside the mushroom cloud, a large number of monsters were blown away by the air waves. A regular circular open space was cleared in the demon tide, and the rhythm of the demon tide's siege was shattered with one blow.
The paradise prompts in Xu Yue's ears kept ringing. The attack just now killed hundreds of monsters, and countless others were seriously injured.
I just didn't feel any signs of fire below. This kind of large armed equipment seemed to be outside the scope of the steel-chewing talent.
The sound of mechanical operation was heard again under the feet, and the main cannon began to retract for maintenance and cooling. While the power of the magic main cannon was exaggerated, its use was also very limited. After a cannon was fired, it would take at least six hours to recover before it could be guaranteed. The barrel has cooled down and will not explode during the next attack.
However, although the main gun was retracted, the 12 secondary thunder-plasma guns had begun to exert force, forming a thunder pool in the demonic tide, gradually stabilizing the precarious situation of the Black Mountain Fortress below.
A moment later, the airship fleet at the rear also rushed to the battlefield. Two more mushroom clouds rose on the battlefield. With them, seven or eight smaller beams of light fell. The medium-sized armed airship also had a main gun, but it was just powerful. Much lower.
After a series of ground-cleaning bombings, the originally dense demonic tide had become somewhat sparse. Thunder cannons rained down on all sides of the fortress, turning all the incoming demons into scorched corpses on the ground. The 'vines' were also defeated one by one, revealing the dark red wall.
On the Sun Chaser, Xu Yue looked down at the battlefield below and his hands felt itchy. However, after seeing the thunderous scene, he still chose to endure it. Now that he jumped down, he was probably electrocuted by the thunder before he was overwhelmed by the monsters.
This kind of indiscriminate firepower coverage makes no distinction between friend and foe. Compared with the mechanical mission group encountered before, the current scene is called firepower cleaning.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the thunder pool bursts and the rain falls, and the plasma ripples like ocean currents.
However, such firepower coverage cannot last for long, and the energy consumption is too exaggerated. It is unrealistic to rely solely on a fleet to destroy the wave of demons in front of us. Now we are just temporarily containing its offensive and waiting for the large Allied forces behind. 's arrival
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the raging thunderstorm on the battlefield began to calm down. Although the spaceship carried a lot of crystals, the real key battle was the battle in the Dark Valley ten days later. They could not use artillery fire now. Most of the reserves are consumed.
The fleet's offensive began to weaken, and the demonic tide that had been suppressed for a long time began to surge again, and the black wave once again advanced near the city wall.
At this moment, a roar like a mountain roaring from a mountain to a tsunami was rising from small to loud, sounding from the front of the battlefield. Looking along the source of the sound, I saw an endless silver line appearing at the end of the field of vision.
The silver line quickly approached amidst the roar. It was the cavalry unit at the forefront of the Allied forces. Cook rushed at the front of the team, followed slightly behind by Kairos, Mandel and the others.
"Imperial Cavalry, charge into battle!!"
"Charge!!"
The shout was first shouted from Cook's mouth, and then spread quickly to the entire army. Every cavalryman raised his lance and shouted to charge into the formation. The uniform sound of charging into the formation resounded through the sky, overwhelming all the sounds on the battlefield.
Accompanying the shouts, there were also dots of glow that lit up on each cavalry body. The glow turned from light to bright. By the time the cavalry rushed towards the monster wave, all the glows were connected together, with the first one being the first. The brilliance of Cook, Kairos and others is the most dazzling.
Looking down from the airship, one can clearly see a pair of extremely bright wings of holy light spread out in front of the dark and churning tide of monsters.
"It's really magnificent."
