Chapter 657: Gluttony

In the Silver Castle, Gawain and the two new archarchons were guarding in front of the magic network terminal, and the news from the eastern part of the plains was being relayed and transmitted through the layers of communication lines in Fort Solin, the White Sands region, the southern border, and the Gorgon River, and was constantly being delivered to this room.

"Team 'Brave' begins to move and successfully induces the first level of the target ......"

"The target enters the range of the Solimburg line, the 'Brave' team successfully disengages, and the second level of induction is successfully ......"

"The evacuation of all units in the White Sand Hills has been completed, and the beacon has been established ......"

"The third level of inducement was successful, and the Iron Throne began to move south...... The target is approaching the white sand hills......"

The reports from the various executive units seemed to be carrying out some kind of precise timetable, and kept coming according to the plan, but Gawain did not feel any lighter, because the Solinburg Line had verified with facts that the man-made god was strange, powerful and difficult to destroy, although the cultists with the power of mortals were only a "fake" with flesh and blood, but the power of that fake was obviously beyond the mortal realm and had a certain divine attribute.

In the face of such an enemy, no one dares to relax until it is truly and completely extinguished.

And Gawain also knows that these reports that come according to the plan, these seemingly smoothly executed and tightly knit links, in fact, there are a large number of soldiers and commanders risking their lives in every minute and every detail, and the smooth appearance means a precise balance like a tightrope-

The Kraken allies are indeed powerful, and the plan does look perfect, but the risks never disappear because of this, and even if its hopes of success are high, the risks must be taken.

Beside him, Victoria, who has always been cold and calm, couldn't help but tighten her face with a hint of nervousness: "I hope everything goes well." ”

"It's going to be fine...... If the Krakens can't get rid of it, the 2nd Corps from the Rock Fortress supporting the White Sand Hills and the Reserve Corps of Cecil City will come to the top, and we will finally destroy that monster," Gawain said in a deep voice, "Then, we will announce the truth of this operation with great fanfare." ”

Bai Dewen nodded lightly: "People will realize the strength of the new empire, the collapsed confidence will be recast, the situation will be stabilized, and the nobles in the border areas will be more cooperative with the transformation......"

"Yes, people will realize the strength of the new empire." Gawain nodded in agreement, but at the same time added in his heart-

They will also realize that "gods" are not something so untouchable.

……

On the border between the Plains of the Holy Spirit and the East, this long chase has lasted more than halfway.

The sky was overcast, the hot wind from the plains kicked up the dust, slapping the relay piles on both sides of the tracks and the armor on the sides of the trains, the roar of war machines tearing through the air and the constant firing of the turrets shook the world, and the birds were forbidden to fly wherever the beasts passed, and the surviving beasts of the plains rushed to escape from their caves, as if the end had come.

The arsenal section was firing frequently, not only the powerful main guns, but also the defensive secondary guns installed near the main guns, and the large and small acceleration rails pointed to the rear of the train, accompanied by the flash of magic power, throwing heavy shells into the distance.

In the dim light of the sky, the cannonballs made striking trajectories in the air, and at the end of the intersection, a holy and brilliant light illuminated the plain, connecting the heavens and the earth, and the furious gods rushed wildly across the earth, facing the cannon fire of mortals, continuing the chase.

This is no longer a battlefield that ordinary people can participate in, or even look directly at, only far, far away, at a safe distance, some brave lords of the East have climbed their towers and walls, and with the blessing of various transcendent spells, they have the courage to take a look at this battlefield that constantly emits thunder and flashes, and then half of them dare not take a second look, and the other half of them chant the names of their gods, the names of their ancestors, and pray that the fire will not burn on them.

"The speed of the target has increased," the Adjutant reported loudly to Maryland's side during the Iron Throne tactical section, "the distance between us is decreasing!" ”

In a way, anger can be powerful.

This works for people, for man-made gods...... It actually works.

Maryland looked out the window, and at an appropriate angle, he saw the scene behind the train, the holy and malevolent light shining in the north, and the light burst out from that direction, sweeping the rocks and woods, destroying the magical tracks in its path, and covering the rocks and steel in its path with lush vines and flowers.

Maryland looked back at the adjutant, "How far are we from the White Sand Hills?" ”

"It's going to take half an hour to go full speed, General—we may be caught up before then."

Maryland frowned, and between conversations, the monster seemed to be a little more close.

A powerful beam of energy struck from afar, sweeping through the magic energy track, the shield covered by the track flickered violently before it was penetrated, and the rune structure under the track and the nearby magic net were detonated one after another, and before the safety device automatically fused, the continuous explosion had already hit the vicinity of the Iron Throne, and even caused the speeding train to shake violently.

In a trance, the former fortress commander had a sense of familiarity.

He had faced a similar crisis - a powerful enemy was attacking, and the strength in his hands could only be constantly consumed, the disparity in strength was huge, and a head-on confrontation was almost a luxury, and it seemed that all he could rely on was the pride of his noble origins, except for courage.

The last time, he chose an aristocratic style of fighting, rushing out with a team of loyal knights in an attempt to salvage the situation with a glorious duel, and then he was defeated in a few moves, and was taught a lesson, realizing what so-called "war" really was.

In the face of a real battlefield, he needs something more pragmatic.

"Order all members of the Fourth Arsenal Section to move towards the carriage," the commander quickly finished thinking and quickly ordered, "Prepare to cut off the energy supply to the end hook and the Fourth Arsenal Section." Other than that......

"Let the soldiers turn on the fuses of all shells and leave the grenades in the compartments before evacuating."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then stood upright and saluted: "Yes, General!" ”

In the carriage of the fourth arsenal section at the end, the soldiers were nervously and busily maneuvering all the batteries that could hit the target, and the impact just now caused a violent vibration of the car body, and the main gun also malfunctioned due to the impact, some people were injured, but no one left their positions, and until the on-board communicator was lit, these veterans were still doing their best to recalibrate the main gun.

Not all soldiers thought of the general's intentions at the first time, but all responded to the order at the first time.

"Get moving! Lads! A veteran who had been through all the battlefields from Old Cecil to the present day, the commander of this carriage, had already understood the general's thoughts, and his voice was especially loud at the moment, "Obey the order, open the shell safety, open the grenade safety too, and the excess touch mines, all stuffed into the ammunition pile!" Let's play a big handful!! ”

The train did its best to increase its speed and distance itself from the deer, and the soldiers quickly completed their task in this brief moment, and passed through the third section of the arsenal and into the empty carriage ahead.

Two minutes later, the commander of the 3rd Arsenal Section received an order to manually unhook the connecting hook at the end of the train and the energy supply of the 4th Arsenal Section.

The large carriages, which had lost power, quickly moved away from the main body of the train and were thrown far away from the tracks.

A few more minutes later, a heaven-shattering explosion and a series of small explosions rang out in the distance.

Maryland looked in the direction of the explosion, and for a moment he wished that the terrible "god" would simply die in the explosion and never reappear, but his unrealistic idea was quickly dispelled by the holy light that lit up in the cloud of the explosion.

The giant deer was unaffected by the explosion of the carriage, the brilliance around it and the overflowing power of the magic detonated the carriage in advance, and the monster only slowed down slightly, and then rushed up again.

Maryland frowned, but just watched it all quietly.

Ten minutes later, he ordered again—

"In the third arsenal section, the personnel moved to the carrying car, preparing for the explosion."

"Yes, General!!"

The explosion of the carriage wouldn't hurt the monster, but at least it would delay time.

The white sand hills are almost there.

As a second mushroom cloud rose over distant orbit, Maryland looked out the window again.

The sky was terrifyingly overcast, and it seemed that the whole world was about to fall into night, and thick clouds from nowhere gathered over the white sand region, and a cold wind was sweeping over the area, and suddenly, thunder and lightning exploded at the same time.

The thunder even seemed to blow into the hearts of everyone in the carriage, causing even the most experienced, brave and calm soldiers and officers to tremble, and in the faint blue light emitted by the mental protection system, almost everyone subconsciously glanced at each other, and then looked out the window in unison.

A drop of rain clicked on the window, creating a slanting mark on the surface of the crystal glass, and then before the trace was blown away by the wind, the second drop, the third drop......

It's raining.

Countless raindrops form a curtain and pour down from the sky.

The Iron Throne rushed into the pouring rain as if it were a world of water hanging upside down from the sky, followed by the enraged man-made god, which engulfed all the intruders in an instant, and quickly expanded enough to envelop the entire White Sand Hills.

The sky was completely covered by a swirling cloud that made the whole region seem to be at midnight, the cold wind howled, the torrential rain poured down, and the lights emanating from all over the Iron Throne could only dispel the nearest darkness to a limited extent, while the world farther away could only be illuminated by the constant thunder and lightning.

In the light of lightning, Maryland saw countless shadows gathering in the sky, countless strange things breeding in the storm and darkness, the boundaries between the visible and the invisible were broken, and an indescribable, huge structure like a mountain gathered in the wind and rain, and hung upside down with dense forest-like limbs and tentacles, sweeping towards the "giant deer" still shrouded in light.

Even in the frenzy, the "giant deer" was still instinctively aware of the approaching crisis, and it suddenly abandoned the Iron Throne, which was already close at hand, and instead looked up to the sky, the light surging between the antlers, and the piercing jets of energy swept across the sky.

Countless shadows fell from the sky, as if many tangible and intangible things had been cut off and destroyed by the beams, but in an instant, these shadows merged into the surrounding rain, recondensed their tentacles and limbs, and continued to envelop the "giant deer" unswervingly.

Those indescribable things gradually became clear, it took on a posture like some kind of giant sea creature, but it seemed to be a monster spliced together by countless kinds of imaginary shapes, it seemed that only in the craziest and most absurd imaginary works of human beings, can we piece together some forms of this structure, it stretched out its thousands of limbs, little by little blocked all the actions of the "giant deer", little by little together, twisted and strange runes shone on the surface of those limbs, suppressing all the resistance of the giant deer one by one.

Such absurd and terrifying thoughts flashed through Maryland's mind as he ate.

But they are indeed eating—those tentacles or limbs have begun to tighten, which is the obvious predator's posture when eating.

However, in the face of such a horrific sight, which seemed to be enough to break the minds of ordinary people, Maryland was surprised to find that his will had not been tested in the slightest, and even the opposite...... His mind was clearer than ever, his spirit was more uplifted than ever, all the negative emotions and psychological pressure that had accumulated before seemed to disappear, and a high-spirited mood surrounded him, and there was even a ...... in this mood Some kind of pleasure.

The mental protection system will have a similar effect, but it will not be as effective as it is in this moment.

In such a wonderful state of mind, Maryland saw that the indescribable limbs or tentacles were finally completely closed, and even the light that lingered around the giant deer was tightly obscured by the closed limbs.

Then, all the tentacles and limbs contracted for a moment, and a cheer came from the wind and rain that seemed to be a gathering of countless voices:

"Lunchtime!!"
