"Probably now the winner has been decided!"

"Why are you fighting Lu Wu over there?" Butterfly Meng thought of this question. "Isn't he helping the Stygians?"

Although this matter was Lu Wu's private move, in the eyes of the warlocks, it was not a secret at all. What Lu Wu wanted to do was obvious. However, no one particularly cared about this matter, after all, for the high-level of Huiyue, a mere banshee gate was insignificant. On the contrary, Kecha Goyat is a hundred times more important. They had known for a long time that Kecha Goyat did not intend to continue fighting. Or rather, from the very beginning of the whole thing, Kecha Goyat was on the defensive side. Although he is sometimes on the offensive, it is also a counter-attack.

It started out as an experiment by the Stygians, and it could be said that they wanted to harness the power of Kecha Goat. Of course, at first it seemed that everything was under control, reasonable, and not dangerous. Despite his outstanding knowledge and intelligence, as well as some supernatural abilities, Kecha Goat's body is extremely fragile. What the Stygian Warlocks handed over to Kecha Goat was just a bunch of crusty monsters that could only be used for waste. Later, it developed to this extent, not because of their carelessness, but because the strength and wisdom of Kecha Goyat were indeed far beyond the expected. Who would have thought that Kecha Goat would be able to endure to such an extent, so when Kecha Goat counterattacked, the Stygian Warlocks were actually very angry. They were eager to solve this problem, so they put in batches of troops, and finally formed such a result.

"Not a help," replied the old woman. "Once the Lumancers have calmed down and understood that this is a quagmire, a big hole (and of course they have managed to kill Kechagoat once and save a little face), they will have no interest in continuing to wallow in the mire. The only reason why it was difficult for them to retreat was the fear of Kecha Goat's pursuit. Because an army has left its otherwise strong defensive lines (which were originally built to resist the attack of the Floating Fortress), an attack (especially by a fighting creature like The Destroyer) can have a very tragic result. But, in the final analysis, this fear and worry can only slow them down, and it is impossible to discourage them. The Stygian Warlocks will definitely retreat at the Banshee's Gate, it's just a matter of time. ”

She didn't say anything else. However, it is conceivable that even if Lu Wu did not intervene horizontally, when the army of the Dark Moon retreated, Kecha Goyat would not pursue. He wasn't a loyal ally of Radiant Moon, so what good would it do him to hold back Stygian's forces?

Therefore, Lu Wu's behavior, although it is a bit "deviant", is still within the gray field, and it is not a betrayal in the real sense. Coupled with the matter of Kecha Goat, it can be tolerated for the time being.

"However, it is always good for the Stygian Moon. ”

"Yes, but the one over there is called Arsha...... It is said that he is a very greedy person. The old woman did not continue, laughing and immediately changing the subject. "He must be regretting it now, though!"

A great light rose up over the earth.

Lu Wu remembered that the explosions on the earth, including the most powerful atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb, were all clouds of explosions like mushrooms. Now it looks like the other world is pretty much the same.

A huge cloud with a shape similar to that of a mushroom, large on the top and small on the bottom. Through some optical devices, the clouds can be seen mixed with smoke and flames. In the heat, even things that don't normally burn at all will burn.

The antimatter power furnace of the Floating Fortress exploded, and the reflection of the shock wave at the core and the negative suction caused a huge dust column to be lifted on the ground, and the rising dust column and the smoke cloud were connected, and finally this tall mushroom-shaped smoke cloud was formed. Its appearance also represents the complete end of the battle for this floating fortress. The hook and rope cut by the main gun hung under Lu Wu, like two ribbons showing off victory.

Perhaps the attention of the victors was completely absorbed by this terrible explosion, and no one noticed the few small "flying insects" in the air. Of course, it wasn't a flying insect, but an airship capable of carrying people and goods - it was a kind of aircraft that also used anti-gravity, and it was of different shapes, but compared to the size of a floating fortress, it could really only be described as a "flying insect".

This is also the norm for losers. After all, the Floating Fortress is a war machine that is large enough and strong enough, with thick skin and rough flesh to be able to carry it. It was really a critical moment for the situation, and it was naturally impossible to say that all the officers and soldiers inside would escape, but if a few commanders inside fled, it would be a piece of cake.

Arsha sat on the airship, looking at the porthole with a grim face. Although the airship is small, it is compared to a floating fortress, and it can also install a lot of equipment and carry a lot of people. Inside this airship is a sight plane, a semi-optical and semi-ultrasonic device. In fact, its original purpose was reconnaissance.

The terminal in Arsha's hand was already connected to the scope. His eyes were fixed on the image of the floating fortress displayed through the projection. Under normal circumstances, after a one-on-one battle, the loser will fall, but the winner will not be much better. It is light to say "scarred", and even after the victory, it is common for the commander to give up the floating fortress and evacuate all the people. This time, however, the situation was completely different. Lu Wu's Floating Fortress did not really take any damage, only the side position of the Floating Fortress, which is the area with the thickest armor, has a whole row of scars.

On the outer armor layer, a whole row of marks are inscribed like craters of a volcanic crater. That's the scar from the main gun fire. In the middle part, the metal material that makes up the armor layer is directly evaporated and eliminated, but on the periphery, the metal is melted and deformed by the high temperature formed by ultra-high energy, and finally re-cools and condenses, turning into "craters".

This in itself is nothing, because if the main gun fails to penetrate the enemy's armor, this particular scar is formed on the armor layer. Every fortress commander was familiar with this scene. The problem is, this time, the scars are too neat.

I know, I said it was the scars left by the main gun fire. I don't know, I thought it was the owner of the Floating Fortress who added some kind of decoration to the armor layer to show off.

Now a fool can also know why he lost. Although the main guns on Arsha's side all hit this small area, in fact, each shot was very evenly and meticulously dispersed, hitting in different positions, and it was impossible to form multiple repeated hits, let alone penetrate the armor. Moreover, the entire side armor area, although it is a small area in terms of floating fortresses, is a huge area if calculated in terms of the caliber of the main gun. According to what is seen now, another day of fighting, it is estimated that it will not be possible to form an effective multiple hit, which will penetrate the armor.

"Kecha Goat!" Arsha spat the word out of his mouth like a piece of poison on his tongue. He'd never seen anything like that, not even the warlocks, the warlocks who claimed to be able to manipulate fate and manipulate others. So there is only one explanation, and it is the result of some exotic technology of Kecha Goat. It was supposed to be some kind of sensing device that could instantly detect the firing position of the main gun, and this device was combined with the control system of the floating fortress to form such an effect.

The airship, of course, did not dare to stay on the edge of the enemy's floating fortress for a long time. Not to mention the powerful main cannon, even the secondary cannon can directly kill these thin-skinned and stuffed flying insects with a single shot. Watching the mushroom clouds and floating fortresses in the distance get farther and farther away, I regret gnawing Arsha's heart like a poisonous snake.

He would have had a lot of chances to avoid this defeat. Leaving aside the prior planning, in fact, halfway through the fight, he already sensed that something was wrong. At that time, there was a chance to get out of the battle. What he said to Lu Wu was not a lie - as long as he wanted to, he could blow up that part of his floating fortress at any time, just throw out the hook and turn around and run. With Lu Wu's shooting accuracy of a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, he had plenty of room to retreat. Just like he didn't dare to pursue Lu Wu deeply, Lu Wu didn't dare to pursue him deeply. It's one thing to be on the line, it's another thing to go behind enemy lines.

But at that time, he was blinded by anger, greed, and luck. It is the norm for a gambler to continue betting desperately, and it is rare for a gambler to stop and gamble. And he was the gambler. He was blinded by that illusory hope of victory, and in the end he ushered in inevitable defeat.

Even if it's a small wound, if there are too many of them, they will still kill people. The same goes for Floating Fortresses. By the time the damage finally accumulated to the point where he woke up, it was too late. The entire Floating Fortress is so damaged that you can't run away even if you want to. The only thing he could do was get on an airship and evacuate with a handful of men. As for more, he couldn't care about it.

Now he doesn't expect the exploits he boasted about before. The Floating Fortress is destroyed, and it is destroyed in a one-on-one battle, or worse, it is destroyed in a one-on-one battle without causing a lot of damage to the enemy, and perhaps in the Tetsuki faction, it will only be demoted, transferred, etc. But on the Stygian side, it's definitely not that simple. What happens is something to consider. For the first time in his life, he was glad he wasn't a warlock. Because if he has that talent, then this time he is really in a catastrophe, and the only hope is to rush to Huiyue's side. Because the Stygian Warlocks are now at the end of their rope to get rid of the "inferior goods". Although the ostensible reason is to purify the ranks, to eliminate a group of unqualified inferior elements, and to improve the average quality. But idiots know that the real reason is "devouring". A magic that is full of malice, but leaves no choice.

At this time, the airship was already far away from the previous battlefield. The speed of the airship was so fast that even the mushroom cloud that soared into the sky was no longer visible. The morning sun shines through the portholes, making people feel warm.

At his feet, a whole retreating procession could be seen. This retreat was well planned, so it did not rely entirely on human feet. That's why you can see a huge convoy crawling slowly on the ground like countless beetles.

This scene gave him a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Based on known information, the Destroyers should not be able to pursue them now. Because in the previous battles, although Kecha Goat had won many victories, especially destroying more than one Floating Fortress, Kecha Goat's aerial units also suffered heavy losses. Now that the two sides have disengaged, if the Destroyer comes to his senses and wants to pursue at this moment, he will also have to face the problem of insufficient vehicles. In other words, everything has now fallen to the ground.

Yes, although the Floating Fortress was destroyed, the main task, which was to get the troops back and disengage from the Destroyer, was fully accomplished. And it can be said that it was done brilliantly, crisply and neatly, without paying any price worth mentioning, except for the abandonment of those fortified strongholds, which of course was inevitable.

So at least theoretically, he's not a failure. The success of presiding over the great retreat from the front line, and disengaging the troops from the destroyer, is a small credit. Under the principle of offsetting merits and demerits, he may be able to get a better ruling.

Maybe.

You can already see the scheduled meeting point ahead. You can even see the dragon-like figure of the hovering train. He suddenly felt a sense of security. The Floating Fortress was destroyed and many people died, but he survived. As long as he lives, he still has a chance, doesn't he?

Then he saw the little golden dots that dotted the sky. What appeared to be an unknown levitating object, but he recognized it as an airship at a glance.

A normal airship would never be made this color, unless it was a high-ranking warlock with a prominent status. He immediately understood that his judgment had come far sooner than he had anticipated.
