Chapter 920: The Eagle Over Dragon City (III.)
Half an hour later, the train guns, which were all ready, finally opened fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe rumbling cannon scattered the mountain perching birds, and flocks rushed up to the treetops, like a black oppressive cloud hovering over Dragon City, making the atmosphere in the city even more depressing.
At the same time, the heartstrings of countless people inside and outside Dragon City were tugged at by the sound of cannons, all nervously guessing what would happen next.
"Will it hit?" In the hall of the carrier bridge, Tamara focuses the observation crystal ball on the sky above Dragon City, trying to find the trajectory of the cannonball.
In the conference hall of the Dragon King's Palace, Andrea stood in front of the window and looked up, holding the emblem in her hand, and secretly prayed to Tiamat to protect the Dragon City from being destroyed by artillery fire.
At the headquarters of the Dragon Point Heights, Roland stood at the door with one hand on his waist, raising his binoculars to look at the fortress surrounded by mountains.
This time, the will of the goddess of fate prevailed over the blessing of the Mother of Dragons, and the thousand-pound cannonballs that were fired from the train cannon condescendingly fell straight into the central area of Dragon City, and exploded violently in the street across the wall from the Dragon King's Palace.
The walls of the backyard of the Dragon King's Palace were also destroyed by the shock wave caused by the explosion, and the rubble was like a torrential rain, shattering all the stained glass windows that decorated this magnificent palace, and the hall where the five-colored dragon general was located was not spared, and all the furniture and ornaments in the room that were not fixed to the ground were overturned by the storm, and the ground shook violently like an earthquake. By the time the aftermath of the explosion had subsided, the hall was already in shambles, and the four half-dragon generals stood against the wall, looking at each other.
Andrea was still standing in front of the window, her fair and handsome face expressionless, her long blond-red hair dotted with a few broken glasses, glittering in the morning light.
After the bombardment, the tower of the Dragon King's Palace sounded the alarm, and the five-colored dragon statue at the top of the bell tower opened its eyes and automatically activated the city lock. Like a giant parasol, the translucent force field enchantment envelops the entire city, and the birds in the air and the earthworms underground are also blocked from the enchantment, thus announcing that Dragon City is on the highest alert.
In the Dragon Horn Heights, Roland saw through the telescope that Dragon City opened the force field enchantment, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
"Jack, inform Lieutenant Colonel Yuri to suspend the shelling, arrange for the artillery to rest in shifts, and wait for the Dragon City Force Field Enchantment to close before continuing."
"That's a bad move, and I guess those poor guys will have a mental breakdown." Jack snickered.
ā¦ā¦
"Damn Southerners! Vile! Shameless! Dirty! ā
Jabella was still cursing at a shrill voice, and Yakov, Oscar, and Racine looked at the crater in the courtyard that had just been blasted out by heavy artillery, and their faces were gloomy and numb.
Andrea turned her back and yawned widely, her former radiant phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and her excessive exhaustion made her rarely show a little weakness.
Outside the window, there was another rumbling of cannons, and neither Andrea nor her colleagues moved, as if they were accustomed to the roar of death.
Ever since the Coalition had racked the two train guns on the Dragon Point Heights, the people of Dragon City had lost their sense of security: the terrifying sound of artillery could be heard from time to time on the high ground, and the howling thousand bombs could fall on any corner of the city. For three days, the two train guns fired nearly 400,000 pounds of shells into the city, killing and wounding more than 1,000 residents and destroying countless buildings. The bombed-out houses were still burning, and black smoke was billowing into the sky, but it provided a more accurate reference for the coalition artillery, and there was not a single figure in sight on the deserted streets, and people hid in cellars, praying that the shells would not fall on their roofs.
Andrea looked out the window, and after the shelling, the force field barrier opened again, providing belated protection for the city. The cannon on the high ground did not continue to fire, obviously the other party knew very well that it could not penetrate the force field barrier, and did not intend to waste the shells, and when the puzzle confirmed that the threat had been lifted, the protective barrier was automatically removed, and the lonely city exposed to the train muzzle would soon be bombarded again, and so on, falling into a vicious circle of despair.
This game of "cat and mouse" has been going on for three days, and Andrea feels that her nerves are about to collapse, and the situation of the others may not be much better.
"The enemy is too cunning, and always takes advantage of the moment when the force field enchantment is revoked to launch an artillery bombardment, can you modify the city lock and set it to be permanently open for the force field?" Racine asked Jabela. There are only two full-time spellcasters among the five-colored dragon generals, and apart from Andrea, who is proficient in divine arts, it is Jabela, a high-level warlock who knows the most about the Lost Lock.
Jabella didn't have the energy to curse now, and shook her head in frustration: "The Lost Lock is a very complex set of projects, and the automatic defense mechanism was set up at the beginning of creation, and no one else can change it except for the builder of the Lost Lock or the legendary caster. ā
"Even if you can make the force field enchantment continue to open, it's useless, there are not many magic crystals stored in the city, and continuing to open the force field enchantment will greatly increase the consumption of magic crystals, and it won't last long." Yakov's brow furrowed.
The crowd fell silent, despair spreading through the hall.
At that moment, a red ball of light flew in through the window and hovered in front of Andrea. Andrea stretched out her hand to touch it, then raised her head to meet the eyes of her four colleagues, and said in a low tone: "Tamara has sent two pieces of bad news, one is that the main forces of the Kitlanders and the Kolas Corps are digging trenches outside the city to build barracks, and it seems that they plan to besiege Dragon City for a long time; The second is that she saw a large herd of Lothmon delivering bombs for train cannons to the high ground, and the ironworks in Kitland must have been working overtime to cast shells and warheads...... Sooner or later, our cities will be completely in ruins. ā
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly. The war has reached this point, what is the point of continuing to hold on?
Yakov gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly: "You can't hide in the city like this and wait for death!" While the main force of the army is still relatively intact, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory if you fight hard! ā
"Brother Yakov is right, as long as we manage to destroy those two train guns, our situation will be better, and the brothers below will have the confidence to hold out until victory comes." Racine was the first to express his support for taking the initiative to fight.
"The train artillery is located in the Longjiao Heights, it is not easy to get close to them, it is not realistic to recapture the Longjiao Heights with our current strength, and the only way is to win by surprise." Yakov turned to look at Oscar, with irresistible urgency in his eyes, "The enemy is strong in artillery, we can't brave the fierce artillery fire to attack the Dragon Point Heights from the ground, but the enemy's air power is very weak, Brother Oscar, only your Blue Dragon Corps can complete the mission of destroying the train artillery." ā
