Chapter 628: After the Burning

Years later, everyone who has fought against Cecil's army and survived will remember a nightmarish phrase that is—

The bomb fell.

But Heaton didn't know any of this at this moment.

He didn't know what those things were that fell from the sky—they didn't look like the "heavenly fires" fired by the Cecil, they weren't wrapped in pale cyan light, but fell like stones, and he didn't know what the voice that suddenly came from above meant what it meant, because the word "express" seemed to have been coined.

But he was still instinctively aware of the dangers of those things.

The Sect Leader of the Death of All Things immediately raised his hands high, and the powerful dark lightning instantly condensed and formed in the air, and countless dense black electric snakes converged into a thick storm, sweeping through the sky with a thunderous momentum, wanting to sweep away those things that fell from the sky.

It was his instinctive reaction, but the moment Lightning Storm touched those things, he realized that he had made a big mistake-

Those things that fell contained far more power than the "Heavenly Fire", and the sweep of the lightning storm instantly detonated all the falling objects!

He only saw a dazzling flash of bright light, and then this strong light instantly spread to the entire field of vision, a terrifying chain explosion occurred, hundreds of falling objects were densely detonated in the sky above Red Maple City, and chaotic and disorderly primordial energy surged-

From a distance, people can clearly see that a round of bright novas formed by arcane flashes and shockwaves suddenly appeared in the sky above Red Maple City, and the magic shocks generated by hundreds of arcane explosions activated at the same time converged into an oval-shaped energy cloud, this huge cloud seemed to be slow but quickly approached the city shield of Red Maple, and there was a weak black arc that seemed to try to stop it, but it was swallowed up and extinguished by a powerful energy surge in an instant, and just a few seconds later, the energy "egg" full of destruction was It touched the dome node of the Red Maple Shield.

The fallen priests inside the Red Maple Shield saw an even more terrifying sight.

A boiling cloud of fire slowly pressed down from the sky, it first came into contact with the red maple shield, which had been dimmed by the continuous shelling of the Cecil and burst in an instant, and then the fire cloud began to lick the remaining magic cloud and the high-rise buildings in the city after the shield collapsed, and the illusory and scorching flames began to burn from above, and the solid towers and fortresses melted like wax......

"The shield is broken!!"

Someone finally exclaimed, but the exclamation lasted only a moment before it came to an abrupt end, and Heaton saw a bright flash of light flash nearby—after losing the shield protection, the Cecil's shelling began to bombard the walls of Red Maple directly, and the chariots had come close enough to shoot accurately, leaving only a broken brick and a few small pieces of crystal in the place where the flash had passed.

The Dark Sect was a little dazed, what had happened before was too sudden, the city had fallen so quickly, as if it was just a moment, he and the army of gods he had managed to organize were about to be destroyed, he looked at the plains outside the city, and he saw that the cold and ruthless steel machines were still faithfully carrying out the will of the manipulators: march, fire, keep marching, keep shooting......

No, it shouldn't be that way!

Heaton suddenly became furious, he let out a high-pitched roar that was not like a human voice, and the black robe on his body was instantly shattered by dense crystals and twisted and swollen limbs!

In order to achieve perfect evolution, in order to adjust himself to the best posture, he has been deliberately controlling the progress of his gods, but now, he has finally given up this suppression.

The path of great evolution must be carried out – the ideals for which he fought all his life, the plans he exhausted, the new world he pursued to this day...... How can you be defeated by a pile of cold and soulless steel?!

The ragged Crystal Cluster Giant suddenly leaped down from the city wall, like an enraged demon god, and rushed towards the steel chariots that were still carrying out the approaching artillery bombardment, and the soldiers who controlled the chariots had already spotted the reckless intruder, and several chariots instantly slowed down and turned, and the turret pointed at the huge target higher than the roof of the chariot in a creaking mechanical movement, and then the acceleration track flashed and the crystalline cannonballs were fired.

Rumble! Rumble!

Two cannonballs hit their target with a few loud bangs, Heaton slammed one of them with his huge fist, and the other exploded on his shoulder, the terrible explosion slamming him (and it should have been now) to a stagger, and the whole arm was wiped out in the flash, but it only took two steps forward to regain its balance, and a new arm was already wriggling between the broken flesh and blood.

The powerful giant raised his arm and pointed to the nearest chariot, and countless thick vines instantly pierced the ground and entangled in the chariot's tracks and turrets, and the steel machine let out a roar from the inside, breaking free of the vines one by one, but another black lightning fell from the sky, piercing through the shield on the side of the chariot, piercing through the layers of steel and the core of the engine inside, and finally stopping the tireless machine.

These machines don't seem to be any more than that.

A wave of joy rose in Heaton's heart, but in the next second, a series of explosions struck from all directions, completely drowning it.

The chariots destroyed by it were one, but behind that one were ten, and after ten were hundred, and behind the hundred were artillery regiments, supported by naval guns, and there were loyal magic regiments and white knights.

Under the roar of the cannonball, Heaton felt that his body was rapidly falling apart, and his powerful protective shield and limb regeneration ability could not resist the attack equivalent to the concentrated bombardment of hundreds of great magicians, and in his consciousness that was about to collapse, Heaton's mind was still thinking of those great plans, still its grand ambitions.

However, the war machine is not an aristocratic army, and it never cares about the ambition and enthusiasm of the individual, whether it is noble or not, whether it is humble or not.

The 6th Company eliminated minor surprises on the way to the offensive and continued to move forward.

The war machine runs loyally on this scorched earth.

The shadow of a huge dragon swept through the clouds, and the crystal-clear vertical pupils reflected the city that was gradually crumbling under artillery fire.

"Do you use natural disasters to deal with natural disasters......

"In any case, 'express' is a very interesting word."

……

In the rear command vehicle, the figure of Thorderlin appeared in the holographic projection above the magic network communication terminal, and the steel ranger team led by him brought first-hand information from outside the battlefield: "Observed the phenomenon of crystal cluster wanderers everywhere out of control - the crystal cluster command node in the red maple area has disappeared!" ”

Gawain nodded, and Amber's figure emerged from the air next to her, and Miss Half-Elf sighed, "It seems that the guy who suddenly jumped off the city wall and singled out the tank was the enemy's Supreme Commander - how reckless." ”

"Perhaps the transformation of crystal clusters will always affect people's sanity, even those priests of the Society of the Death of All Things."

Attacking the tank cluster alone is reckless, and Gawain thinks that even Gawain Cecil himself and the first generation of grumpy old pigeons may not dare to do this...... After thinking about it, the reason for this can probably only be attributed to the damage to the cranial nerves caused by the crystal cluster mutation.

"Order the attacking troops to establish positions on the spot immediately after taking control of the Red Maple City Gate, block the city gate, and the rest of the troops will attack and turn to defense, and the burner will be warmed up, and the next thing should be to deal with those out-of-control crystal cluster infected," Gao Wen turned around and ordered, "Pay special attention to the east side, the crystal cluster giants returning from Boulder City are the largest elite force in the Red Maple region, even if they are out of control and weakened, they may pose a threat to us, although I don't know why they haven't arrived yet, but we must not take it lightly." ”

In addition to the order, Gawain also had some doubts in his heart - in his original battle plan, the biggest challenge and pressure for the legion was in the late stage of the battle, when the elite enemy army besieging Boulder City entered the battlefield and attacked his position from the flank, it was said that the crystal cluster army was not only the strongest in combat, but the commander was also suspected of being a transformed kingdom army or an eastern officer, far surpassing the dark priests who did not know how to fight in leading the battle, once they entered the battlefield, Cecil's corps had to dedicate a considerable portion of its forces to the flanks.

But for some reason, until the Red Maple City was broken, and even until the rest of the Crystal Cluster Giants began to get out of control, the elite enemy army that should have appeared did not appear, and the Steel Ranger squad placed at the eastern intersection did not even see the shadow of that enemy army.

This, of course, allowed Cecil's legion to avoid additional losses and pressure, but it also made Gawain suspicious-

Why didn't they show up? Could it be that this is a change of home...... This tactic of encircling Wei to save Zhao didn't work?

With this concern, after the order was given, Gawain immediately activated another magic net terminal, and above that terminal, the holographic projection appeared in Wright's unusually tall and muscular figure.

"The White Knights are ready to go," said the Patriarch in a deep voice, "ready to carry out the mission." ”

"Go to Boulder City immediately to check on the situation," Gawain said, "I'll go with you." ”

The offensive operation in Red Maple City has ended, and the next rescue mission to be carried out in the direction of Boulder City is to be carried out.

Rescue this kind of thing, of course, should be done by priests who are good at saving lives and helping the wounded - considering that the situation over there is unclear and the task may be more difficult, then the most capable priest should be sent over.

As a low-level patriarch who advocated hands-on efforts, Wright insisted on going to the battlefield himself, so Gawain arranged him for today's operation, and considering that there might be unexpected complications on the side of Boulder City, Gawain decided to go himself.

Ten minutes later, three armoured trucks with Cecil insignia and Holy Light Runes, engraved prayers and holy motifs, and equipped with Holy Light Shock Batteries on the top, left the front line, accompanied by twenty-two Warhammer-I tanks equipped with additional burners and six Steel Ambassadors, plus a fully formed infantry battalion.

Inside the armored truck, Wright, dressed in a heavy white knight's armor, carefully examined his hammer and the Holy Light Shock Hand Cannon on his arm, and Emily's small figure floated in the light behind him, greeting Gawain who was sitting next to him.

Such a sight made Gawain always feel that Wright was a stand-in messenger......

He had to say something to dispel his unwarranted associations.

"Wright, what do you think about this war?"

"I don't have much to say about war, I'm just a priest," replied the Patriarch, shaking his head, with the same straightforwardness and simplicity as ever, "and I can only regret what I have to say...... It was a senseless catastrophe, where too many innocent people died, and one of the most fertile parts of the kingdom was deserted......"

"The burned land will always sprout," Amber on the side rushed to say before Gawain could speak, and glanced at Gawain, "That's what you said, right?" ”

"Yes, new sprouts will grow from the burned land...... Gawain exhaled slightly, but his eyes looked through the crystal blocks embedded in the truck bed to the desolate wilderness outside.

Even in this polluted land, there are still green plants spreading and growing, and the pollution of the gods is only for human beings after all, and the grass and trees are not actually affected. In the wilderness on both sides of the road, he saw large expanses of lush fields that had once been the property of the local noble lords, with only the scattered ears of wheat and a little brown rice after harvest belonging to the untouchables, but now that the nobles of the land were gone, the commoners were gone, the deified human beings no longer needed the food that had cost so much blood and sweat, and the precious farmland was deserted, and the weeds began to crowd the seedlings, growing more luxuriantly than food.

It wasn't burned, but in Gawain's eyes, it was burned in another sense.

Both the royal family and the power of the East have been burned out in the karmic fires of this war.

Will Ansu sprout new sprouts?
