Chapter 039: Your Excellency, Please Retreat to the Rear
The successful suppression of the tarmac removed the biggest obstacle for the Lensta Knights to shake the scales of victory, but this did not mean that the fight to suppress the Serpent's Lair would come to an end. www.biquge.info In fact, in the following time, the battlefield presented a more chaotic situation.
On the one hand, the Marine Knights occupied the west side of the tarmac and used it as a position to try to disperse the bandits' forces. On the other hand, the Pegasus Knights, under the leadership of the female general, split into several assault teams and constantly dispersed the bandits who tried to regroup - this was an extremely necessary measure, after all, the Lensta Knights were at a considerable disadvantage in numbers, although they had previously relied on surprise attacks to gain the first hand, but once the bandits stabilized their foothold and then counterattacked, the victory and defeat could be greatly shaken.
Fortunately, as soon as the bandits showed the slightest signs of gathering, the female general who wielded the silver axe and galloped into battle will rush over and defeat them at the first opportunity. Thanks to the female general, the Lensta people have indeed accumulated points that lead to victory, but the originally chaotic battlefield has been cut to pieces because of this.
In the shattered battlefield, a special squad is heading towards the fortress.
The members of this special squad include Alec, the heavily armored knight, and Fili, the scout knight. What unites the two men who belong to different units is the almost wayward assertion of a certain dragon envoy. "Sweep the battlefield and leave it to General Matyuya, let's find out who is behind the scenes!" Completely ignoring the fact that his own strength is weak, Wen Dao rushed to the fortress with his escort Fili, but fortunately met the knight Alek on the way, and was able to barely form a team of three.
The team made their way through the chaotic battle formations towards the fortress, encountering occasional bandits on the way. However, with two elite knights on guard, Wendao didn't even need to use the matrix shield.
"The knight holds the shield, and the guard is fearless!"
Alec raised his shield to block the slashing blade, and thrust it back with a roar. The staggering bandits collided with the rushing accomplices, and at the moment when the bodies of the two sides collapsed, Fili's gun shadow pierced through the void, and several points of silver light burst out in the bandits' hands and feet one after another.
After the silver light dissipated, several more men wailing and screaming appeared on the ground.
Seeing that the accomplices were easily defeated, several bandits with swords and shields in their hands behind them showed expressions of bewilderment. After Alec swung his broadsword and slashed out a bandit with a shield and a person, the fighting spirit of the bandits instantly weakened, and they turned around and fled with a strange scream.
Behind the battle array is the main gate of the fortress, watching the bandits rush into the fortress without choice, Wen Tao immediately made a decision.
"Keep up with them!"
Wen Dao took the lead in chasing ahead. Without knowing the internal structure of the fortress, following the rout of the bandit army can undoubtedly avoid many risks. This was a sharp and correct judgment, but falling to the two retinues caused very different reactions.
"Oh oh! Knight Alec, swear to follow your lord to the death!"
As if violently moved, Alec waved his sword and shield and let out a majestic cry.
"Please, please, please get to the rear!"
Fili looked like she was about to cry, and chased after Alec with a haggard face.
Behind the gate of the fortress was a wide passage large enough to accommodate several warships in parallel, and Wen Tao chased the fleeing bandits while looking at the inside of the fortress. The Empire abandoned the base in what seemed to have been a haste in the past, with abandoned containers, movable gun mounts, and other debris scattered along the passageway, all of which had been covered in dust for centuries.
Judging by the rudimentary lighting pulled out of the walls, far from restoring the ancient base to its own functions, the bandits who occupy it seem to be using it only as a place to live. In this case, you can put aside your worries about traps and other traps for a while.
Just as Wen Dao exhaled, the panicked voices of the bandits suddenly came from the front of the passage. The cry of fear and pleading echoed in the empty passageway, and a strong alarm welled up in Wen Dao's heart, and he immediately stopped and hid in the nearest cover, and Alec and Fili who were chasing after him also concocted the same method.
Almost as soon as everyone found cover, a sudden and ferocious strafing shot came from the front. Those metal projectiles that were accelerated to 700 meters per second by electromagnetism contained the power to easily decompose the flesh, and the bandits who were swept away immediately lost their voices. The track-piercing rail-bomb swept backwards unabated, sending violent sparks at the containers and metal racks.
"Be careful, sir!"
Behind the container, Alek urgently erected his shield and used his burly body to hide Wen Dao and Fili behind him. Wen Dao heard the crisp sound of a ricocheting bullet knocking out on the shield bullet, but his heart shrank coldly.
This is by no means the force that those scum bandits can hold. Could it be that the debris piled up in front of him and the desolate situation was just some kind of trick? This abandoned base was actually a secret stronghold with elite imperial troops stationed? Such a thought made Wen Dao's back slip a vicious chill.
"Don't act rashly. ”
Wen Tao instructed and quickly called up the Eagle Eye program of the terminal bracelet.
Another burst of sparks made Wen Dao dismiss the idea of probe reconnaissance, but he quickly found a replacement. The Hawkeye is not a substance that actually exists, but is the product of the generation of a virtual force field, and using the experience of a controllable force field, Wendao fixed the removed Eagle Eye to the air above the container, thus gaining an unrestricted field of vision.
Eagle Eye captures the dormant figures in the depths of those passages and projects them in front of the window of the terminal bracelet.
Appearing in the window is a group of soldiers armed with magnetic beam rifles and wearing standard armor. They don't have any numbers or coats of arms on them, but the difference between them and the bandit minions out there is so great that you can see them at a glance.
(Hey, there's really an Imperial Guard...... )
Wen Dao gasped, and seeing the heavily armed enemy soldiers in the window, Fili beside her couldn't help but stiffen.
At this time, the armed soldiers armed with magnetic beam rifles, after two consecutive rounds of firing, seemed to start moving in this direction to confirm the results of the battle. Focusing on the menacing figures, Alec lowered his voice and offered to sacrifice himself.
"My lord, I'll stop them, you can ...... at this time"
"No, wait. ”
Wen Dao stopped Alek and looked carefully at the window. Although the enemy soldiers were well armed, there were some signs of haste in the bumps in the movement. It's not like a well-trained Imperial soldier.
Confused, Wendao pulled out his beam gun and tried to fire several shots from behind the cover. The flow of energy rushing at the speed of light left several scorching trails on the floor and walls of the passage, one of which was lucky enough to hit one of the magnetic beam rifles. The magnetic beam rifle was heated by the energy stream for a split second, and the small explosion of the charge box blew the gun wielder away along with two or three people around him.
The frightened enemy soldiers immediately dispersed, looking for a hiding spot and pouring fire frantically into the front of the passage.
The sound of sudden shooting shook the channel, and hundreds of metal storms per second smashed the debris in front of them. Wen Dao, Fili, and Alek hid behind the container, listening to the sound of dense and random shooting, and at the same time their hearts were slightly relieved.
The enemy's reaction was far from refreshed, and his shooting was noticeably lacking in accuracy. Although he has some shooting training, he is by no means a real imperial soldier. Wen Tao speculated that they should be selected from the bandit party, which was a bit tricky, but not too much to deal with.
“…… Alec, Fili, I have a plan, do you want to hear about it?"
Under the storm of metal, Wendao's eyes flashed, and he told the heavily armored knights and scout knights his ideas.
Gapppur was drawn to the sound of gunfire in the tremor tunnel.
To be honest, Gapppur was shocked when he saw his men shooting wildly towards the passage. I thought that those Liansta people had something terrible to do, but when I pulled the deputy next to me and asked, I realized that there was only one team that broke into the fortress.
"A squad panics like this, don't those idiots have a concept of ammo residue in their heads!?"
Gapple couldn't help but smack his tongue again at the stupidity of his men, and after taking a sip, he asked about the battle in the camp outside. When he learned that there was still a scuffle outside the camp and that the Liansta people still seemed to have the upper hand, the irascible colonel could not help but pull up the placket of his deputy's shirt.
"What the hell!? The other party just has such a small number of people, just pull out the battleship and sweep it directly, right!?"
Those primitive people who were still dancing with swords could not have the force to fight against the Imperial landing craft. In Gappour's mind, a landing craft could easily end the "farce" battle with just one landing craft. But then he heard the news from his deputy, who was thrashing desperately with his legs off the ground, that most of the ships could not be started.
"Can't start?"
Gappour's eyes narrowed, and the veteran's instincts, honed by battle, suddenly sounded the alarm.
The Boar Landing Ship is the standard vehicle of the Imperial Marine Corps, and it was designed to cope with the needs of many harsh environments at the beginning, so it has extremely high stability in performance. No matter how little maintenance is lacking, it is still impossible for so many warships to break down at the same time.
Thinking of the total destruction of six warships a few days ago, and the unfolding of the sudden attack on the base by the Lienstas, Gappour's brow suddenly furrowed. By connecting the dots between otherwise isolated events, the Imperial veteran was convinced that something unexpected was happening in places he didn't know existed. If the malfunction of the landing craft had anything to do with the Lienstas, then this attack was probably a situation that had to be dealt with seriously.
Gapppur put away his contempt and decided to set things in order at once, and the first thing to do was to silence the idiots who were firing indiscriminately. Although Gappel is reluctant to admit it, their firepower is really indispensable to clean up the situation. Leaving behind his foaming deputy, Gapple walked briskly towards the battle formation, but at this moment, the originally dense gunfire suddenly thinned out.
Any firearm has a residual amount of ammunition, and while a magnetic beam rifle can carry more ammunition because it does not require gunpowder propulsion, there is still a limit. The guards poured out their firepower desperately, and finally ran out of cartridge ammunition in a matter of minutes.
Seizing the moment when the firepower turned from boom to decline, Knight Alec leaped from cover.
"The knight charges, invincible!"
The heavily armored knight charged at the enemy's battle array. Alec, with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, exuded the fierce aura of a pig's sudden advance, and the enemy soldiers, shocked by the consciousness of sacrificing their lives, aimed their guns at the advancing knights, but most of the sound that followed was the sound of a clicking hollow spring.
Occasionally, five or six point shots were fired at Alek, but they were easily blocked by the knight's shield. If you look closely, you should be able to see that there is a thin stream of light flowing around the edge of Alec's shield. Blessed by the Matrix Shield, Alec quickly approached the enemy soldiers in a fierce posture ignoring the attack, and the enemy soldiers who had shot all the bullets hurriedly reloaded their ammunition, but the rusty movement greatly delayed their second shot.
"Knight's sword, fierce power!"
Alek, who rushed into the battle formation, swung his broadsword sharply while knocking into the enemy soldiers blocking the way, and slashed wide from left to right, and several enemy soldiers who tried to block with guns were slashed out with guns.
As Alec swung his sword, the scout knight leaped from behind the burly back. Leaping from the air, Fili flipped lightly from the air, and the silver spear in her hand landed with a god-speed thrust that stalled the two enemy soldiers, and turned into a large wheel when she landed. The gunlike power of a tornado swept across the battle array in an instant, setting off countless wails everywhere.
Magnetic Beam Rifles cannot be fired casually in melee combat, and Scout Knights and Heavy Armored Knights have an almost crushing advantage in melee combat. Fili's silver spear combined with Alec's sword and shield weakened the enemy's numbers and fighting spirit with great speed, until suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed the tip of the silver spear......
