The Iron Rangers under Thorderling's command set out before the first rays of dawn appeared, and began to move in the direction of the Gorgon River.

The party had been too close to the dangerous contaminated area, even past the edge of the Giant Log Crossing—the so-called "crossing" was not a real crossing, but a vast area on the eastern side of the Whitsunday Plains, encompassing a large area such as Boulder City, the Slope Valley, and the Yaltel Mountains—an area where the Iron Ranger warriors had encountered the Crystal Giants several times, and discovered several villages or towns completely overrun by the Crystal Cluster Army, plus the remnants of the Kingdom Army that had been rescued by chance, The task force has exceeded their mission and it's time to leave.

The real artillery fire should be handed over to the follow-up large forces.

Mitchell, the knight of the royal capital, huddled together in the armored infantry vehicle, felt the low roar and vibration of the steel beast powered by magic and machinery, and a majestic sense of power was transmitted from the movement of the gears and connecting rods, making them feel a strange sense of awe and groundedness - although they could not understand how the Cecil had created these incredible magical devices, the sense of peace still flowed through.

Protected by a sturdy frame, steel plates, and thick magical shields, the Cecil cleverly combined these common substances with common spells, and gave the machines souls with mysterious rune technology that allowed the steel to run on its own without the need for a mage, and sat in them as safe as a moving fortress.

There is no doubt that the chariot must be driven by some kind of magical spirit.

Maybe it's a machine soul.

The knight of Mitchell tried to understand the Cecil creations with "common sense", but found that he could not understand them, so he turned his head and looked out through the crystal blocks embedded in the armor of the carriage - the scenery in the wilderness was receding, much faster than the carriage.

"Shall we go straight to the Gorgon River?" A soldier of the Kingdom Army sitting next to him looked at the Cecil warrior sitting across the carriage and covered in black armor, and asked with a little uneasiness, "Is there someone picking us up over there?" ”

The magical warrior in black light armor said casually, "Let's go south first, and then west to get closer to the riverbank." ”

Mitchell Knight nodded slightly, and he thought it was the right choice.

Directly to the west near the Gorgon River is, of course, the shortest route, but due to the deep pollution area, rash lateral movement is very likely to encounter a large army of crystal giants, the safest route is to move south first, out of the most dangerous area and then adjust the direction, and it is said that the warship that came to meet is still heading north along the river at the moment, so the convoy is also heading south to the meeting point as soon as possible......

However, this convergence requires the convoy and the warship to cooperate seamlessly, and must arrive at the exact place at the right time, which is difficult to achieve unless the time and place are agreed in advance...... But looking at the Cecil's indifferent appearance, they obviously didn't worry about this, and they didn't know how to do it...... Can any of those black-armored soldiers use teleportation spells?

Mitchell Knight guessed, but suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a violent shock of the car, which shook with a sudden acceleration, and then he heard a sharp sound outside, followed by a distant explosion from behind him a moment later.

He'd heard the sound — it was the explosion that rained down from the sky as he and his last soldiers were about to be overwhelmed by more and more Crystal Giants, intercepting the Crystal Giants' follow-up reinforcements and saving them all.

It was called a "howitzer" - it was not equipped in the vehicle he was in to transport personnel and supplies, but it was on each of the other two vehicles called "multi-purpose vehicles", and its power was impressive.

The two Cecil soldiers in black light armor in the carriage reacted instantly, they immediately got up, one approached the observation port of the carriage to determine the situation, the other climbed up the ladder in the middle of the carriage, and began to manipulate the ray gun tower on the roof of the carriage to participate in the battle, and the Mitchell knight also reacted after a short period of stunned, he pounced on the other observation port, and saw the terrible situation outside-

Numerous Cluster Giants are coming in from all directions, uncountable in number, and the arcane arcs they have created have begun to lick the ground not far away......

The moment he saw those monsters, the sense of security brought by steel and shields was instantly diminished, and Knight Mitchell forced up his courage to keep his composure, but several Kingdom Army soldiers were already praying in fear.

But Mitchell couldn't blame the soldiers—they had just come out of that hell after a terrible defeat, more than one escape.

At this moment, there was another tremor, and at the same time, there was a loud boom that sounded very closely, and the sound made several soldiers turn pale in an instant: this was the sound of powerful arcane lightning striking the shield!

Those monsters are getting closer!

The iron door separating the front and back of the chariot suddenly opened, and the high-ranking ranger with blond hair bent down and leaned in: "It seems that we are in an ambush circle - but the enemy does not seem to be able to adapt to our speed and has not had time to close the ambush circle completely. ”

It turned out to be an ambush!!

Mitchell Knight took a breath and spoke quickly, "Can you run away?" ”

"It's not easy, there are a lot of them, and they bite very tightly," the high-ranking ranger said with a relaxed face, his calm attitude was in stark contrast to the few Kingdom Army soldiers who had fallen into nervous fear, but what he said was not at all lighthearted, "With the stamina, speed, and morale of those monsters, I am afraid that I will not be able to shake it off for a while." ”

A layer of gloom shrouded in Mitchell's face, and he couldn't even understand how the high-ranking ranger in front of him could still be so relaxed in this situation: "That...... We're going to die here......"

Thorderlin smiled: "Don't worry, we are close to the scheduled meeting point - about a dozen kilometers." ”

Mitchell was relieved by the "deceptive" smile at first, but then he almost jumped - and so far away!!

And he also clearly remembered that the convoy was not moving directly in the direction of the Gorgon River, it was moving south! It's quite far from the riverbank!

The sound of continuous explosions and flames from burners coming from outside, interspersed with the violent explosion of arcane lightning striking the vehicle's shield, reminded everyone in the carriage that there were already Cluster Giants outside, and that they were getting closer!

The convoy and the Gorgon River were already full of monsters in ambush, and in such a situation, how could this team, far from the river bank and so far from the meeting point, survive unharmed?

Mr. Knight from the royal capital couldn't find a way to break through the siege in his limited battlefield experience, even counting the powerful power of these strange chariots, he didn't think that everyone could survive the swarming crystal cluster legions, but Thorderlin didn't mean to continue to explain - the high-ranking ranger just casually comforted them, saying that they had "excellent fire support", and then turned and left the crew car.

After leaving the bewildered "passenger" behind, Thorderling quickly returned to the bridge at the front of the vehicle, and while motioning to the soldier controlling the chariot to continue moving in the direction of the river bank, he quickly opened the vehicle's magic net terminal.

It turned out to be prescient to set up relay points along the way in the process of gathering intelligence.

The Magic Net terminal is activated, and a small holographic projection emerges over the armored vehicle's instrument panel, with a bearded Byron in the center and a busy battleship command stand in the background.

"We've seen the flares you've fired," said Byron before Sölderlin could speak, "get into range soon—don't die until then, just run south!" ”

Thorderlin said quickly: "We are being pursued, you can open fire after we cross the Temporary-16 relay point, just aim near the relay point and blow it up, it's okay to blow up the relay point, I'll ......make up for it later."

"Is it so conservative," Byron said with a "I advise you to be reckless" expression on his face when he found a pipe out of nowhere, and said with a "I advise you to be reckless" expression, "Actually, you can fire another round of flares in ten minutes, and then my side will recalibrate them according to the flares, this is the standard naval gun support process, and it can help you get more ......"

A bright arc of arcane lightning struck from afar, shattering the chariot's shield, and then the scorching rays of the return attack covered the direction of the attack, Thordrling grabbed the handrail on the roof of the car, and while maintaining stability in the violent shaking, he responded to the mercenary knight on the other side of the communicator: "I'm afraid you'll blow up my entire team by the way—you're a naval gun!" ”

"My gunner has excellent live ammunition, and the Trailblazer's main gun uses the latest sights and measuring tapes, give me a wisp of smoke, absolutely unbiased, I'm telling you seriously - you really don't want to try?"

Thorderling couldn't understand how this unassuming creature had survived in the army to this day, but he eventually chose to trust in "gun support" - mainly in trained gunners and the latest magic warships.

And after confirming the fire support plan, Byron on the other side of the communicator was obviously happy, the mercenary knight who had become the commander of the fleet and was becoming more and more fascinated by the new magic guide warship held a pipe and made a man's promise with a smile: "Don't worry, if my naval cannon hurts a bolt of your precious chariots, I will shave my hair and go to Cecil City to parade twice......

The speaker has no intention,

The listener is intentional.

Two streaks erupted on Thorderlin's forehead, but the communication was over.

In the sudden unsung flames of the Iron Ranger Commander, the breakout convoy drove into a more gentle area, and the speed suddenly picked up again.

Looking down from above, two multi-purpose combat vehicles and two armored transports rolled up puffs of smoke and dust, galloping wildly across the wilderness, countless crystal giants were gathering from all directions, chasing the small convoy that was breaking through in layers, arcane arcs and flashes fired from orbital howitzers crisscrossed between the convoy and the pursuers, the flames from the heavy burners licked the earth, and the distance between the pursuers and the breakers was widened again and again on the battlefield where explosions and flames were intertwined, but again and again they were closer.

The speed of the giant's madness is no less than that of a vehicle powered by a magic engine.

The chase seemed to last a long time, but suddenly, the top of one of the magic vehicles opened.

A Steel Ranger warrior pointed his light launcher into the sky and fired three flares.

Two red and one white flares rose into the air, popping in the clear skylight, and the striking smoke and flashes were clearly visible on the distant Gorgon River.

After the flare was fired, the speed of the four magic guide cars did not decrease at all, and even accelerated slightly, as if they were about to quickly leave this dangerous position, and below the trajectory of the signal flares slowly falling, there was the crystal cluster army of the Society of the End of All Things......

On the Gorgon, two of the four live-fire main guns of the new magic warship "Pioneer" quickly and delicately adjusted their angles, and after a moment's delay, the surging energy from the power ridge was injected into the acceleration orbit.

Heavenly fire, falling from the sky.
