Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 1: In the Name of Humanity
The war began.
Overnight, the demon legions, which had opened the gates of hell out of nowhere, launched a stormy attack, leaving only a sea of fire in their path. Their attacks were so fast and so fierce that they almost broke the nerves of every soldier on the battlefield.
On the island of Manhattan, which was almost in ruins, the BPRD poured all its forces into building the world's most powerful defense. But even so, under the offensive of the Hell Army, this line of defense seems so fragile and ridiculous.
"Keep firing, we must not stop!" Green, the temporary commander of the heavy firepower of the battlefield, gave the order hoarsely. He had only taken over the position ten minutes earlier, that is, ten minutes earlier, his senior, the former commander of the heavy firepower of the battlefield, had been directly split in two by a demon with a giant axe.
The artillery roared, and high-explosive shells hit the enemy line, throwing stumps and internal organs into the air, and then falling like a rain of blood. But instead of the joy of victory, the faces of the soldiers became more gloomy and serious.
Such heavy artillery fire could not stop the advance of the Hell Legion, they had already retreated three times in a row, the first line of defense had been completely breached, and if it continued like this, the second line of defense could not be held.
Ahead from the artillery position, there were deep trenches. The soldiers huddled in the trenches, and they could hear the terrifying heavy footsteps of the Legion of Hell as they marched closer and closer.
They touched the cross on their chests, clenched the guns in their hands, and some took out letters sent to them by their mothers or lovers and read them quietly. No one was crying, no one was crying out in despair, and everyone had only the determination to see death in their eyes.
"I'm going to send them to death. Front-line assault commander Ander Locks stood in the trench and said sadly to Matthew Aven, the chief of staff beside him.
"We all could die today. Matthew took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for himself, "We're going to die here, but our death isn't meaningless." As long as it lasts long enough, Team X will be able to figure out where the Hell Gate is and force it to close. ”
"That's our only hope. Ender said as he looked at the Legion of Hell, whose march in the distance had not slowed down in the slightest. "We're leaving everything to the imp named Shore and his men now. ”
Ander picked up the sniper rifle at his feet, and then raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, here today, there is no nationality, no race, there are only human beings, only compatriots who fight each other as human beings. ”
The soldiers looked up at Ender, who did not say a word, just listened quietly. "Our defenses are a joke in the eyes of the devil. "But now let them see, we, as human beings, will show them that human courage can transcend fate." ”
"There is still hope for us. "The BPRD's most elite squads are moving directly into the heart of the enemy, and when the time comes, we will win the war." But until then, we must hold on to this place and keep all the demons' attention so that they can have a chance to strike the decisive blow. ”
"Fight, soldiers! We will all die today, but history will remember us, and children will remember that there were people who fought to the last moment to protect them. At this moment, we have no way out, and we will fight to the end for the future of mankind!"
"Ahhh......h
"Check the ammo!" "Readjust the heavy machine gun fire!" "Come on, demons! we've been waiting here for a long time!"
"Commander Ender. A soldier who wasn't too tall walked up to Ender and said. "I'd like you to keep something for me, for it's likely that I won't be able to return it to its owner. ”
"What is it?" Ender asked.
The soldier smiled and took out a coin from his bulletproof vest: "This is from my girlfriend to me, she and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, this is what she gave me when I was a child." This coin is identical on both sides, and we all used it as a treasure when we were younger. I don't think I'll be able to come back, but someone like you might survive. So I hope you can keep it for me and give it to her when I die. ”
Ander looked at the soldier in front of him whose eyes were already moist, and felt unprecedented pain in his heart. "I promise you. He reached out and took the coin, "It's just for the time being, but don't die!"
"Thank you!" the soldier finally sobbed uncontrollably, but soon forcibly suppressed the tears in his eyes. "We're all going to die here, but I'm sure my death will be a wall to protect her, right?
Ender's heart was shocked, and his tone trembled a little: "Our death will be the hope of this world, go and fight, soldier." ”
The Hell Legion was approaching step by step, and it was not even 700 meters away from the forward position, and all the soldiers in the position were already in full position.
"Commander Ender. The scout lowered his binoculars and said, "The vanguard of the enemy is the demon of the Seven Sins, the embodiment of rage, Astaroth!"
"Is that really the guy?" Ender wasn't surprised by the result. "As the embodiment of rage, I would be surprised if he didn't fight the vanguard. ”
"What are you going to do?" asked Matthew, "The strength of the Seven Sins Demon is not so simple, and the best way is to stubbornly defend it. ”
"No!" Ender rejected his suggestion, "it is precisely because he is the demon of the Seven Sins that we cannot defend it, and the result of defending it will be the destruction of the entire army in advance." At this point, the only way is for me to act. ”
"You're the Commander-in-Chief!" Matthew retorted, "It's a complete adventure!"
"I'm not just a commander. "Regardless of being a commander, I am still a witcher, a man with the Word, and it is my destiny to fight him. ”
"You're going to die. After a long silence, Matthew said in a heavy tone. "Even if you're a witcher, you can't match that guy, you're going to die here. ”
"If we are destined to die today, then I want to die with my soldiers, that's my consciousness as a commander. He shouldered the sniper rifle in his hand, and with a light step, he jumped over the trenches in front of him, and finally reached the forefront of the forward position.
The soldiers watched in amazement as their Supreme Commander stood right in front of them, his majestic body standing like an impregnable mountain. This is not a dream, every soldier thinks in their hearts, as the commander of the witcher fights side by side with us, maybe we can change our fate, maybe we will win!
"Are you obsessed with fighting?" Matthew muttered as he looked in the direction Ender was leaving, "What a fool! Do you still want to fight to the end knowing that you are going to die!?"
"Lord Astarot. The bird-like demon that had been hovering in the sky descended in front of him from the sky. "From my scoutings, it seems that the enemy's supreme commander has reached the forefront. ”
"Hahaha!" Astarott burst out laughing, "Do even the ants want to fight me?"
Astarot's laughter was interrupted by a bullet that pierced the obsidian armor on Astaroth's shoulder and completely penetrated the skeletal muscles behind the armor.
"Hmm. Astarot subconsciously covered his shoulders, but what followed was an unbearable burning sensation. He looked up and saw that the bullet had struck more than penetrated and had been melted by something.
"Is it the Word?" Astarrot could feel the disgusting smell emanating from the wound. "I see, did that human commander do it, I didn't expect him to be a witcher, damn it, I was actually injured by a few bugs again!"
"See?" the soldiers asked each other, "It's Commander Ender's Word Lava!" "It's amazing, it's worthy of being the man who has been turned into the Demon Slayer Spear, and he shot through the armor of the Seven Sins Demon with a single blow!"
Ander lowered the sniper rifle he had just aimed, pulled the bolt and ejected the shell that had just been fired, before loading again.
The ability of Word Lava is that it can heat up objects that it touches, and has a temperature comparable to that of volcanic lava, which is especially suitable for an excellent sniper like Ender. The perfect combination of the melt-away heat and the high rate of fire of the sniper rifle is the strongest combination, and this is the power of Ander Locks, known as the Spear of Demon Slayer.
He calculated the trajectory of his sniper as he began to adjust the angle of his sniper, and next time he would shoot through your demon's evil skull.
"It's coming!" he ordered methodically as he adjusted the angle of his sniper rifle. "Don't look around, soldiers, it's time to give it your all!"
"Roger!" the soldiers' responses seemed so imposing that it was not at all clear that this was an army that had just retreated here, but more like a victorious army with high morale.
"Those bugs have me off!" Astarot roared in a rage, "kill them all for me, and use their blood to give this war a perfect start." ”
"Roar, roar!" the demons roared, they had just experienced the slaughter and were still so eager for human blood, they were already impatient to fight, they wanted to tear apart the flesh in front of them and devour the souls in front of them.
"Like Green giving orders. Matthew looked at the rampaging demon legion and said, "Stop the shelling at once, and have him send armored troops to support immediately, we must hold this place!"
"Understood. "The signal corps immediately sent an order to the heavy fire positions in the rear.
"Commander. The communications corps in the rear positions got up and reported to Green, "The front positions demand that we stop the shelling and send all the armored corps into battle at once. ”
"Needless to say, I'll do the same. Green readily agreed, "We must hold this place, pass on my orders, all the artillery will cease fire, and the armored corps will immediately support the front line with a flank detour." ”
The roar of tank and infantry fighting vehicle engines rang out one after another, and the earth shook with it. This is the most powerful weapon of war ever made by mankind, a torrent of steel that makes mankind proud, and now they will carry the hope of mankind to the front line.
"Are you coming?" Ander, who was on the front line, could clearly hear the sound of the tank's tracks crushing over the ground. "The war has just begun, come on, let's teach you a good lesson about what it means to belong to the human will. ”
