……

"What!"

From the anxious Joan of Arc, he learned that the monster's attack had begun again, and the two people who were pulling also ran out.

The exterior of the battleship in the sky with a wide field of vision still has the "scars" left by the previous battle between Alan and Frey.

Frey and the others, already on the edge of the battleship, looked at the situation in the distance, frowned, and the weapon was in my hand.

"Boom, boom!"

But after another explosion, the sound of the explosion in the distance began to slowly subside.

Even in the end, it was completely quiet.

The monsters underground didn't continue their lifeless charge.

Only the wing-shaped monsters in the sky, such as fierce beasts, small ancient dragons, and smoking-emitting nightmares, were still approaching and entering the range of the Holy Land's aerial fire.

Under the anti-aircraft fire of several warships and fortresses, a large number of winged monsters that attacked in the distance were bathed in artillery fire one after another, and fell to the ground like comets with flames.

Although Frey and the others were still frowning, they were not so worried about the monster's attack for the time being.

Now the Mechlobrigade has "betrayed", and the Holy Land has lost the ability to detect the whole situation.

But judging from the movement just now and the monsters that appeared now, the sound of a mine explosion stopping in the distance showed only the winged monsters in the sky attacking the second line of defense.

It can still be judged that the previously laid mines have completed their mission and successfully blocked the large number of monsters attacking from the ground.

These wing-shaped monsters in the sky alone were not enough to pose a threat to the sturdy second line of defense.

The Holy Land consists of the central royal capital, 26 surface fortresses that spread out in the shape of a spider's web, and a vast system of dungeons.

The 26 surface forts are divided into three levels and spread outward at a time.

The eight surface forts from A to H, which are closest to the central royal capital, are the first level of "central forts".

The eight surface fortresses from I to P, which expand along the radial line outward, are the second level of "Central Fortresses".

The outermost layer of the ten surface fortresses from Q to Z bordering monsters is the third level and the most dangerous "edge fortress".

According to the previous defensive deployment of King Arthur, the "First Line of Defense" consisted of a long defensive line of ten "edge fortresses" and a main army protruding from four directions.

And the "second line of defense" is the line of defense that you are in now.

It consists of the "God-given Wall" and eight "Central Fortresses", which the city guards are working on overnight.

According to Arthur's deployment, the "second line of defense" will be connected by the completed "God-given wall" to the eight "central fortresses", forming an airtight last line of defense before the "final line of defense" on the royal plateau.

But with the unexpected rout on the western battlefield, the "first line of defense" has now been abandoned in just a few days.

It didn't work to stall for time at all.

The "God-given wall", which is now connected by the two sides of the "central fortress", is far from complete.

The good thing is that the experienced Arthur has already prepared for the worst.

It has long been ordered to abandon the eight "central fortresses" between the "first line of defense" and the "second line of defense", so that all the soldiers and civilians of these eight surface fortresses have been evacuated to the "second line of defense".

and lay mines in this vast area, setting up a "buffer zone" that has the potential to work.

Now the facts also prove that King Arthur's "worst-case plan" was correct.

"Joan of Arc, give the order to let the City Guard's 'gopher chariots' continue to lay mines in the 'buffer zone'.

We will also recruit more people to speed up the construction of the 'God-given Wall'. Anna saw that the mines that had been laid earlier were effectively blocking the monsters attacking on the ground, and she also said to Joan of Arc on the side.

But Anna knew that this could only be delayed, not a long-term solution.

Although the low-level monsters who died on the front line had low IQs, the monsters that commanded them in the rear had already evolved to a high degree, and they were even better than the IQ of humans.

Trying to use the mines buried in the ground once and for all, Anna would never be so stupid as this.

Seeing that Joan of Arc answered and left the herald, Anna looked at Alan on the side, "Brother, as for avenging my father, let's wait until the monster is completely gone, you can also see the current situation." ”

Hearing Anna's words and seeing the wing-shaped monsters flying in the sky in the distance, Alan stopped talking and nodded.

"Boom, boom!"

As the guns of the battleship's fortress batteries continued to attack, a large number of wing-shaped monsters in the sky also scattered and fled under the roar of artillery fire.

A small ancient dragon closest to the fortress was also a kilometer away from the fortress when it was shattered by a cannonball in mid-air, and fell down with gunpowder smoke and broken bones.

In the end, it "crackled" and set off a burst of thunder explosions on the ground.

But looking at the retreating monster attack, Frey's brow did not expand.

Because even if the "buffer zone" succeeds in buying time for the construction of the "God-given wall", it will be completed.

Not to mention whether it can have the expected defensive effect, this area enclosed by the "God-given wall" has long been less than one-ninth of the original land size of the Holy Land.

With a small amount of land and an explosive influx of displaced people, Frey feared that this area of the "God-given Wall" would turn into hell.

After all, Frey, who had lived in a dungeon where food and space were scarce, knew what a desperate situation would drive a group of people.

The eighteen forts abandoned by the Holy Land also represent more than just a piece of land and a strong fortress.

It is also an important food production area.

The technology of the Holy Land has reached the bottom where it can be cultivated without soil, but it has not yet reached the point where it can be cultivated "without sunlight".

This is also the reason why the Holy Land is not completely hidden underground, and a surface fortress is built on the surface.

Now the 18 fortresses that could have provided sunlight for food growth have been completely abandoned, leaving only 8 "central fortresses" and the royal capital, plus the influx of people who have evacuated from the 18 fortresses, making this originally cherished space even more groundless.

I'm afraid that the current grain production in the Holy Land has already been cut by more than half.

Moreover, the two strata of "underground people" and "surface residents", who have long been grudges and incompatible, have to collide together now, and I am afraid that there will be even more chaos.

Sure enough, after a while, a herald came anxiously.

"Your Majesty! Oh no! There's a riot in the dungeon! ”

Hearing this, Frey's people and the paladins and crusaders who were about to engage with the monsters all turned their heads to look at each other.

"What's going on?" Although Anna was also a little worried in her heart, in front of a herald and under the attention of all the soldiers, she still maintained the steadiness that a queen should have, and said in a calm tone.

"It's those 'underground'! They want to drive out the 'surface dwellers' who have been resettled in the dungeon, and they are still shouting for some revolution, for human rights, or something! ”
