Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 8: Under the Burning Sky
Back in the present, the battle on the main battlefield of Manhattan has entered the white heat.
The armored forces that burst out from the flanks clearly interfered with the Helllegion's advance, and they had to divide more forces to deal with it.
The M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank has a 120mm caliber smoothbore gun, and its armor-piercing ammunition and fragmentation ammunition have extremely high lethality, while other infantry fighting vehicles such as "Bradley" and "Cavalry" as a countermeasure have the characteristics of fast maneuverability, interspersing and interspersing in the enemy's roundabouts and playing a good jamming role.
In the defensive positions, the soldiers kept shooting at the demons, and the ammunition they used was specially processed silver mercury bullets, which were simply poison to the demons, and the only way to kill them other than the Holy Word.
"In this way, maybe we can really hold on. Matthew Irvin put down the binoculars and said. "Deliver my orders, and the reserve corps will immediately go into battle, and we must not waste this opportunity. ”
At the forefront, Ander Locks is constantly shooting at the demons that come into his scope. His marksmanship is well known, and even in this chaotic environment, he can accurately hit the demons' heads and kill them with a single shot.
Ender put down his gun, and he was also shocked by the strength of the armored legion in front of him, as if an endless torrent of steel rushed into the enemy formation, entangled with countless tall demons, which was simply exciting.
"Commander Ender. The scout on the side suddenly shouted to him, "Radar from the rear indicates that something is coming." ”
"What is it?" Ander replied, "and where did that thing come from?"
"Yes, yes, from heaven!" the detective was sweating and stammering.
"Heavenly!?" Ander looked up at the sky in disbelief, and behind the dark clouds that filled the sky, it seemed as if something was really shining and about to emerge from it.
"Get out of the way, hide in the trenches!" Ander roared hoarsely. That's right, those things are coming, but I didn't expect to save them until now.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless meteorite-shaped objects flashed with green fire and streaked across the sky, striking at the defensive line they had built.
The meteorite hit the position and tossed all the soldiers around it to the ground, and these meteorites numbered in the thousands, like huge slings, which terrified everyone.
"Hey, those rocks are changing!" cried out a soldier next to the meteorite in horror. He watched as the glowing green stones began to deform and eventually become a moving giant statue.
"Is it a construct?" Although he was in the rear, Matthew still relied on his years of combat experience to see at a glance what the enemy was attacking. "This situation is not good, did you actually take a surprise attack?"
Massive structures were wreaking havoc across the entire position, making it impossible for ordinary human soldiers to fight them. With just one hand or one foot, the construct can easily pinch or trample a soldier to death, as easily as crushing an ant.
"Fire at them!" shouted as the other soldiers immediately woke up from their embarrassment and shot at the constructs with their weapons.
But the silver mercury-wicked bullets that had been useful to demons were now completely useless against these constructs, and the bullet hit them as if it had hit a rock, and these tall monsters would not bleed at all, and no matter how many times they were shot, they would not stop.
"It's over, our attacks are useless against this kind of guy, we're all dead!" began to sound in despair, and this was also the voice of many soldiers.
"It's too early to give up now!" Ander came here somehow, he lowered his sniper rifle and clenched his fist, which was like lava and made people retreat.
Ender leapt to his feet, swinging his fiery fist into the construct's chest. It was just a blow, just such an ordinary blow, and Ender's entire fist pierced through the construct, and the construct's chest seemed to melt, and then the tall body fell with a thud.
Ender withdrew his fist, and the originally hot fist returned to normal, and the soldiers present were all dumbfounded.
"I know that move, it is the liberation state of the Divine Word Lava, the Divine Word Divine Molten Fire, and it is said that those who use that Divine Word can melt everything with their fists, and it is an extremely powerful move. An older veteran sighed and praised.
"Don't give up!" Ender shouted from among the soldiers, "The weakness of these structures is in their chests, and while bullets that can damage demons are ineffective against them, they can still be defeated with heavy weapons such as rockets. ”
The despair gradually began to recede, and Ender was undoubtedly an inspirer of confidence in the soldiers throughout the battlefield, and as long as he was still on this battlefield, the soldiers would never give up and would fight to the end with their lives.
"Lord Astarot. "The bird-like demon who is the scout forward reports on the battle. "The surprise attack did not have the effect we wanted, their commander was very strong and experienced in combat, and our attack did not achieve the desired effect. ”
"How's the situation with the Legion divisions?" asked Astarrot.
"The divisions were tightly entangled with the enemy's armored forces, and there was no way to respond effectively, and we seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck of the offensive. ”
"Huh?" Astarott squinted at him, his eyes full of disdain. "What a joke! Can such a defense stop us? The reason the enemy has been able to fight so far is because of their commander, and if he dies, they will be crushed at the touch of a button. ”
"Your Excellency, you don't want to?" asked the Bird-shaped Emissary tentatively.
Of course, I personally stepped in and asked me to cut off his head, but it was his last glory as a human being. Astarrot picked up the giant axe standing on the ground, and his dancing green eyes stared straight at Ender as he fought.
On the other side, the previously unstoppable structures are in a difficult situation, and their huge bodies, known for their weaknesses, have become a living target for the soldiers. Anti-tank guns, shoulder-fired rocket launchers, and all the portable heavy weapons that could be used were used against them. Soon, there were less than a hundred of the original thousands of constructs.
"That's it. Ander looked at the soldiers who went into battle with high morale. As long as they can keep it in the same way as they are now, they will be able to buy Team X the most time.
"Ahhh
"Astarot!" Ender recognized the demon in front of him at a glance, the fury that could destroy all things in the world, and the iconic giant axe "Fury", he was undoubtedly Astarot.
"Human, are you the commander of this rabble?" Astarot's voice thundered, "I'm asking you, why don't you answer me quickly!"
Ender was silent, he didn't want to answer the question at all, because since he could sense who the other party was from the breath of the other party, then a lord like Astarrot must have had his own answer at first sight.
"If you don't answer, die!" Astarrot swung his great axe, sending a gust of wind through the space. The huge axe slashed at Ender's head, but Ender had no intention of dodging.
"Get out of the way, Commander Ender. "Hurry up, it's too late!" "What the hell are you trying to do?" the soldiers called out anxiously to Ender, who in their eyes would be killed if he didn't dodge.
The loud sound of the "bell" sounded, and the sound waves caused by the collision made the surrounding soldiers have to cover their ears. When the sound finally cleared, they looked up and saw a scene that they had never imagined.
Ender caught Astaroth's axe strike with his bare hands, and it was from this that the loud noise was generated. Ender's hand that caught the axe shone red like lava, the scorching heat made it impossible to get close, and the edge of the great axe's "rage" was clearly melting.
"Sure enough, my intuition is right, a strong man is a strong man after all, and the aura you exude made me find you at once. Astarot said as he pressed the axe down with all his might.
Ender also tried his best to resist Astaroth's pressure, and although the Divine Molten allowed him to take the blow, the material of the "Fury" was clearly more heat-resistant than he thought, and even the temperature of the volcanic lava only melted its edge.
"Does the wound I left you still hurt?" Ender scoffed, "This is the second time a human has left you a wound, you should be used to it, right?"
This remark irritated Rastarot's nerves, as the embodiment of rage, his personality and temper were already extremely violent, and Ender's ridicule was simply unbearable.
"Are you looking for death?" Astarot roared, slamming his axe down with force, and Ender seized the opportunity to deftly escape the axe blow unscathed the moment he lost control of his emotions.
Sure enough, as rumored, it seemed to be a guy who was emotionally and easily volatile, and Ander thought about it in his heart. If he was in the situation of slowly comparing his strength just now, he would definitely fall into the disadvantage in the end, but if he could provoke him, he could make him attack early, so that he could find a chance to get out.
Astaroth, whose attack failed, became more frantic than ever, and he continued to swing his great axe, relentlessly chasing Ender. Ender didn't mean to go head-to-head with him, except for undodgable attacks that he would hard-hit, and most of the dodgeable attacks were dodged by him.
Come on like this, Ander thought to himself. Yes, the more violent your attacks are, the easier it is to show their flaws, and if your body is too big, you will have too many weaknesses, and I, as a sniper, am the best at seeing the weaknesses of the enemy.
Another axe blow, the huge force shattered the ground as well, and Ender was not disturbed by the shock, the chest exposed by this attack of Astarott, which he was concerned about, if he could succeed, maybe he would have won this battle.
Ender's movements were lightning fast, and he threw his fist at Astarot's chest before he even knew it. "Divine Flame!" he roared, and his fiery fist struck Ostarot's chest with precision, melting the obsidian armor at a lava-like temperature that pierced Astarot's body.
"Hmm!" Astarrot slammed his axe to the ground, completely unaware of the speed of his attack, which he did not even observe.
"Our human will can change fate, and this will has always been what you underestimated. Ander clenched his fiery fists and said to the half-kneeling Astaroth, "Today I want you to understand a truth, never underestimate us humans!"
