Lu Wu had obviously never seen this level of firepower, because the exoskeleton armor turned its head to look at the building that had been melted into slag, and did not react for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is not surprising, Grumas has long known Lu Wu's origins. After all, he is just the kind of turtle born and raised in a small border place, and he has no relevant formal education, and his vision and experience are very limited. Although he was co-opted and bought by the Evening Star Family, he came forward as an agent of the Evening Star Family to compete for this floating fortress. But he certainly had no idea of the true power of this giant weapon of war.

Of course, Lu Wu is not the first, nor will he be the last. A lot of ignorant people make the mistake of empiricism. When they get used to the railcannons as heavy firepower, they assume that they will also have such weapons on the Floating Fortress. But in fact, the difference between the weapon systems of the Marine Force and the Floating Fortress is so great that it is almost not like they were pointed out from the same technology tree (and perhaps it is, there is a lot of evidence that the invention of the Floating Fortress is obviously a heavy reference to the technology that the Warlocks brought back from another world). The Marine Corps uses common weapons along the path of "live-ammunition weapons", from general-purpose rifles to electromagnetic guns and even exoskeleton armor. In a sense, it's very similar to the situation on Earth.

But that's not to say that this tech tree is the only thing in the world. From the very beginning, the Floating Fortress was on the path of "energy weapons".

Strictly speaking, it is difficult to tell which of the two paths is better or worse. But one thing is clear, and that is that when a person first sees the power of an energy weapon, he is deeply shocked.

Even if it's just the secondary cannon of the Floating Fortress - no, not even the secondary cannon, but a simplified castrated version of the secondary cannon.

There are no explosions, breakdowns, debris and the like, only melting and evaporation in high heat. There was only light and no sound in the whole battlefield. The sound of energy weapons is even softer than that of electromagnetic cannons, but absolutely no one says that they are too powerful. The building that melts away like cheese is the best proof of this.

In Earth time, it's probably only about a minute or two. But in just a minute or two, the entire outskirts of the city, about one percent of the total, were completely destroyed.

Moreover, this wave of attacks is just a demonstration, not an all-out attack. And most importantly, at least as far as the spectacle is concerned, Grumas's forces do not need to engage the enemy at all. Despite the fact that their front line was full of heavy infantry armed with electromagnetic cannons, it was easy to see that their task was not so much to charge into battle as to protect those light cannons from attack.

They didn't have to do anything, they just waited for everything in front of them to be destroyed by their own fire. This posture is exactly like destroying the enemy with long-range artillery fire on Earth - destroying everything in an orderly manner outside the enemy's firing range. Soldiers at the front can only serve as spectators only.

The most important thing is that, at least for the moment, it seems that this terrible firepower can be poured at will. In other words, even if the firepower just now is used as a standard, then Grumas only needs to continue to play, and in an hour or two, he can report that the entire city and everything in the city will be reduced to this cheese.

If there is no way to counter long-range fire, then it can only be said that it will be defeated. There is absolutely no chance of winning. Anyone with a little bit of a brain will naturally understand this.

Grumas had also experienced last night's battle, and although he had lost, he was fully aware of the level of equipment under Lu Wu's men after all. Lu Wu didn't have any weapons that could fight the light cannon - if he had, he would have used them a long time ago. Or rather, last night's battle could not have been delayed until this time. From an objective point of view, he didn't believe that Lu Wu had such a thing. Because it's not even standard equipment, it's entirely because of his special status that he has the ability to prepare.

Lu Wu still didn't react, but he couldn't ignore the threat. Grumas is sure of that. It was impossible for Lu Wu to accept such a consequence - it was beyond the scope of what he could bear, both intellectually and emotionally.

Yes, Lu Wu himself may be able to escape, but his army is simply impossible. From an intellectual point of view, if he loses the army here, then he completely loses all the foundation, not to mention the floating fortress (obviously even if the floating fortress is repaired, it will not belong to him, because he simply does not have enough manpower to keep it running). And emotionally speaking, a group of his good subordinates and good subordinates dying here like this will also make him unbearable. After all, for many people (especially young people with a sense of justice), death is not the most terrible, many people are not afraid of death, but cannot bear the death of relatives or friends.

In this negotiation, Grumas believes he has a half-chance of winning. Even in the worst case, Lu Wu got the opportunity to retreat his army through threats, and that's it.

But Grumas wasn't content with that. What he hoped was that Lu Wu would release him early because of impulse or ill-consideration. To achieve this, he decided to increase the pressure.

"Fildan!" he shouted at his terminal. "In a quarter of an hour, if I don't respond, go as planned!"

A clear and resolute answer rang out from the terminal.

"Lu Wu, decide. Grumas looked at the Iron Giant in front of him. "Kill me, and bury me. Or let me go, let it all end here. He spat at the side. "I'm losing this time, but this is just the beginning, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"

He added another chip to himself, hinting that he would withdraw from the fight for the Floating Fortress. Of course, this is completely impossible. After making so many preparations and dispatching so many forces, if he can't bring the Floating Fortress back, it is estimated that even the closest people will be dissatisfied with his performance.

"This is your last hole card?" finally sounded in the Iron Giant's sounding device.

There's also a hole card, but that guy Juta is so unreliable! But then again, that guy is also a high-level warlock, even if he is just an inconspicuous member of the high-level warlocks, but he at least falls into that special range. A floating fortress is a very important achievement for Grumas, but for Juta, it doesn't make sense for him to improve his status in the family.

"Grummas," Lu Wu's voice sounded slightly different than before, but Grumas didn't have time to care about this anymore, because the Iron Giant's other hand pointed to the top of his head. "Don't you think we've been talking for a long time?"

"What...... Gremas was puzzled at first, then looked at the sky in confusion as the other man pointed out. As mentioned earlier, at this time, half of the Heaven Domain was occupied by light, but the other half of the Heaven was still under the scope of "night".

If Grumas were on Earth at the moment, he would probably be bewildered by this situation. But this is Wago, and that's the normal sight of the dawn of this world...... Grumas, as an indigenous, has never seen a thousand or eight hundred such a dawn.

No, wait, it's not normal!

The dawn lasted too long.

How long an ordinary dawn will last may have different answers because of everyone's different standards. But one thing is for sure, and that is that dawn is not a very long time of day.

In particular, this kind of half of the sky is dark, and half of the sky is bright, and it is a very short moment. The long night is over, and the light and heat from the sun will soon take over the entire sky.

But...... The sky seemed to be a little too bright for a little longer.

His gaze was towards the sky. At first, I didn't notice it, but when I looked closely, I felt a huge dark cloud over there, and it was firmly hanging over the sky.

This is not surprising, dark clouds are also a normal natural phenomenon. But...... He suddenly felt a sensation coming from the soles of his feet, like a worm with iron thorns, creeping up his back, all the way to his neck, and finally burrowing into his scalp, making his hair seem to stand on end.

A voice rang out from inside the Iron Giant.

"Ivan, it's up to you. Questions?"

It was clear that this was not said to Grumas, but Grumas clearly felt that his teeth had once again been uncontrollably slammed together.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the city, bringing a cloud of dust and sweeping away the unnatural clouds in the sky.

The thing hidden in the dark clouds finally revealed its true form in the dawn of dawn, casting its own huge shadow over the entire city.

No one will admit such a thing, and it is impossible to admit it.

It was a towering castle of steel, shimmering with gray metallic texture, suspended in the sky that was not particularly high.

In fact, this is not the first time Grumas has seen it. But that's when it fell to the ground, surrounded by countless maintenance crews. An analogy can be used. Even if it is the overlord of the sea, the powerful sperm whale, once stranded on land, it will not give people any sense of fear.

But this time, the whale has returned to the sea, showing the true power of the sea overlord.

Watching a floating fortress falling to the ground and a floating fortress suspended in the sky are two different things entirely. The former will only make people sigh "oh, it's so big" at most, and the latter will make people involuntarily feel awe.

Although the steel castle looked tattered, and although many of the corners seemed to be broken, it was still terrifying, because it was a floating fortress, the overlord of the sky, and the most powerful weapon of war in the world.

"No problem," the horn of the exoskeleton armor sounded, a voice that clearly did not belong to Lu Wu. "It's a piece of cake to deal with these!"
