Section 122 The Emperor's Capital 27
"Love...... Lover's ......" Lu Wujie was taken aback, so much so that his brain was a little short-circuited, and he came back to his senses after half a ring. Zhu Hua leaned over and wrapped his arms around his neck in an ambiguous posture. But though her movements were ambiguous, those eyes were as clear as the sky after the morning light. "It's like this!"
It was these eyes that gave Lu Wu the confidence to push away the other party's arm. Zhu Hua's hand didn't have any strength, and he pushed it away.
"Yes, it's like this. Zhu Hua didn't think it was wrong. "You can see it now, but I can also make it impossible for you to see it. "I can be your lover, guaranteed to be gentle, virtuous, considerate, obedient, and able to go up to the kitchen...... I can do it if I want to. ”
"Wait...... What do you mean by this......" Lu Wu finally began to feel that something was wrong with the other party's words.
"I can also be your best bodyguard, and I will be loyal to you from birth to death. Zhu Hua said. "Now you understand? And it's not a pretense or a lie. ”
"......" Lu Wu had to say that he was completely speechless.
"So you know why the people of the Void Face Family are good at demagoguery? ”
Lu Wu remembered the information he had before, but in fact, there was nothing surprising to think about it. If the Void Face Clan really wants to stop the war and heal the whole world, as Amber said, then it is only normal to develop this kind of thing. They need to convince both Huiyue and Hades. It's okay to convince one of them, and the difficulty of convincing both is absolutely hellish. Of course, the statement "good at demagoguery" can also be regarded as an objective evaluation.
"Of course, not every warlock is happy to do this, because there is a certain amount of risk involved. So in general, not every warlock understands this trick. However, for the First Lawyer, this was a compulsory subject. Zhu Hua continued.
"Why?" Lu Wu asked subconsciously.
"The reason is simple, because the First Lawyer's needs to better communicate with the other world. ”
……
It's early in the morning.
The ground fortress built by Huiyue includes a series of building complexes. These buildings are large enough to be used as warehouses for floating fortresses. However, compared to their underground parts, these above-ground parts are insignificant. This is the norm. In fact, to stand up to the Floating Fortress's main cannon, the buildings on the ground must be staggeringly sized and thick—and the defenses that come with it. You know, if the main guns of the floating fortress can penetrate it with one or two rounds of fire, then it will not have to labor ground forces to capture it.
The morning light gilded the rectangular yellow building beside her.
This is where the battle has just ended. Or rather, a place that has just been captured by the ground forces of the Stygian Moon. It was a large building, and although it had no equipment inside, she felt that it could probably be converted into a repair shop for a floating fortress at any time. The layout of the building is very classical, and the dimensions of the load-bearing columns that support the building are very impressive. The floor inside is all made of sheet metal and polished to make it look like a human figure.
The raid went smoothly and unwell. What they said was that they successfully wiped out all the enemies inside, a detachment of the Vermilion Shield, and completely slaughtered them, leaving no future troubles. What didn't go well was that the enemy's ability to resist eventually exceeded their original expectations. All the warlocks, including herself, threw their powerful magic power into the heads of these lackeys of the Radiant Moon without mercy, so that they could achieve such results.
The adjutant was replying to the command center with a summary of the battle, especially emphasizing the part about the resolute resistance of the enemy, which was nothing short of long.
While almost all of the Stygian Warlocks were unimpressed by the self-proclaimed "Vermilion Shield" force, they now admit that the other party is indeed eligible for the title, even if they are reluctant. You know, this kind of honor is unusual. Unless it is a unit of high-ranking warlocks, only heroic units that have repeatedly achieved outstanding results are eligible for this honor. The Vermilion Shield has proven with facts that they have lived up to the expectations of Huiyue's higher-ups.
How could an ordinary army put up such a stubborn and effective resistance. Although the Stygian Warlocks are capturing this fortress city one by one, the achievements of Huiyue's side are enough to be recorded in the history books, and although they are defeated, they are still glorious. They had dragged on for an incredible amount of time, inflicting some damage on the Stygian Warlocks' side, and they were able to continue fighting so far.
The ground forces of the Stygian Warlock did not encounter the troops of the Radiant Moon Warlock, at most they encountered a few scattered skirmishers, and they retreated at the first time. It's so fast that you can't catch up. Everyone was sure that these scattered Radiant Moon Warlocks were not the backbone of the battle, and that they might only be here for minor combat missions such as vigilance and reconnaissance.
The real fighting force is indeed the Vermilion Shield. A brand new and titled unit.
Being able to prove that in the fight against warlocks, in addition to the will to fight, their equipment is indeed very good.
These soldiers are armed with a range of powerful weaponry, some of which the Lunaman has seen before, but others that have just appeared on the battlefield (the origin of these weapons and technologies is unknown). Of course, the most powerful of them is their energy shield. Unlike the Destroyer's all-encompassing shield, which is as light-like as its shield, the Radiant Moon's energy shield is made up of shards, more like armor than shield. When activated, these shields seem to isolate the inside and outside, allowing the exoskeleton armor to emit gases like storm clouds that come out of nowhere.
They proved with facts that after using such a series of equipment, hoplites composed of ordinary people would also become difficult to deal with.
This shield can deflect most of the artillery fire fired from a certain area, and the effect is so good that people want to scold their mother. The vast majority of weapons are ineffective in the face of such shields, or at least not very effective. As in the case of The Destroyer, dense fire can break through shields. When these shields are destroyed, the energy that spills can make the metal, completely non-flammable exoskeleton armor directly burn like a torch, cooking the crew inside alive. But as I said earlier, even in the hands of a warlock, it is not easy to concentrate such firepower.
The battle is infuriating. No matter how reluctant they were, the hoplites, who relied on all kinds of advanced technology and equipment, did withstand the attack of a high-ranking warlock army. They have been holding out for three days and still occupy most of the city. An army of high-ranking warlocks was still in a quagmire, let alone those of low-ranking warlocks.
In equal numbers, the Vermilion Shield already has the ability to compete with low-level warlocks.
This situation is not an exaggeration to describe even if it is unprecedented.
The higher-ups were everywhere advertising that this was a benefit that the Radiant Moon Warlocks had sold the whole world in exchange, but she knew that it was just that Stygian wanted to hook up with Kecha Goat. Knowing that there would be so many benefits, the Archons probably wouldn't have faced Kecha Goyat with such a rude and disregarded attitude at all.
However, it was an unfair battle. Those energy shields—of course, this technique is magical—do make a big difference, but the mere exoskeleton armor can't stop the high-level warlocks. Warlocks possess superhuman speed that the naked eye can't keep up with, accurate aiming abilities that normal people can't imagine, and even the power to observe fate. At a time when these forces are blended, nothing in the world can compete with them. But the enemy knows the Warlocks well, and the Warlocks know almost nothing about the new equipment. They had to, and could only try, to understand the performance of these equipment.
The adjutant brought her a key piece of information at this time - they had found a repair shop. She only needs to capture the factory, and most of her task can be said to be completed. Of course, in order to get there, they had to break through a line of defense ahead.
Dozens, maybe hundreds, of the soldiers of the Vermilion Shield are preparing for defense over there. Based on previous experience, this can quickly turn into a suffocating bitter battle. After last night's fierce fighting, she and her men had lost their momentum. Their attack was not superior, and the well-sighted and well-armed Crimson Shield soldiers had caused them some casualties, and she had seen at least two of her men hang up.
In terms of shooting, the Vermilion Shield must have some kind of auxiliary aiming system, which makes it not very difficult for them to rely on their numerical superiority in battle. Stygian Warlocks can break through shields with a salvo, but they can also fire some lucky bullets. Warlocks can observe the future through the power of fate, but that is not a complete mastery after all.
A few electromagnetic cannons fired, but they didn't hit anyone, but they were able to force the Stygian Warlocks to retreat to a bunker. Then, the terminal on her body beeped.
The eyes of all his subordinates were focused on her.
She looked at the terminal, then burst out laughing. "With melee weapons. She said so, then dropped the electromagnetic cannon in her hand and drew the sword from her waist. Double-sided blades, nano-coating, strong metal produced under strong interaction, etched with delicate patterns on the body of the sword. The power of this weapon varies from person to person, and you can exert as much power as you want.
High-level Warlocks all have similar melee weapons - long-range shooting is important, but far from the full power of Warlocks.
Instead of waiting to see her orders carried out, she was the first to rush out of cover. Various types of bullets and energy beams kept grazing around her, but she flashed quickly from side to side, and her steps were fast. Such a sudden frontal assault was clearly not expected by the enemy. They failed to form sustained fire and missed the first and most important seconds.
The Stygian Warlocks had jumped over cover and now saw the Scarlet Shields. Some of them even forgot to shoot. They hide inside exoskeleton armor, hide behind cover, and protect themselves with shields. But now everything is useless. She couldn't see their faces, but she could imagine them all pale and frightened.
"The repair shop is ours. When it was all over, she calmly said to the adjutant beside her. The latter is reporting the results of the battle to the top. They hadn't been able to clean up the fort completely, but at least the repair shop was already in hand. The task was barely completed. Blood flowed on the smooth metal floor, along the grooves etched into the steel plates in all directions. The huge pool of blood was littered with staggered human bodies, looking like islands in the sea. Even the sunlight looked bloody, and the shadows were even more scarlet. Everything tells the story of how fierce the previous battle was.
"Sir," the adjutant suddenly looked up at her, his eyes blank. "The boss told you to go back to the Floating Fortress immediately. ”
"...... on Earth," she understood the meaning of the order almost immediately. The battle on Earth has also come to an end.
