390. The Great Moon
While the Adepts are cruel and bloodthirsty enough, they are occasionally beaten into a sieve by the powerful firepower of bipedal machines and chariots.
But this kind of time is a minority.
In the face of several combat vehicles and dozens of mechs, they rushed fiercely and retreated quickly. It's like a seasoned killer who shuttles through the battlefield, withdrawing when he misses a hit, and definitely doesn't do too much fighting.
Yvon Monica's body was also shot, her combat uniform had been cut off on her chest and thighs, and several burnt penetrating wounds could be seen on her smooth skin, and bones were visible deep into her bones.
When she was cutting open the body of a "stranger", she was firmly grasped by an arm like an iron pincer and could not get out. Subsequently, he was wounded by more than a dozen stray bullets fired by several soldiers who suddenly rushed out with assault rifles.
However, in the face of strong recovery ability, these injuries are not enough to weaken the Monica sisters' combat effectiveness, let alone fatal injuries, and the injuries caused by kinetic weapons are quickly filled by regrown muscles.
The ones that really need to be careful are the strange flying machines that suddenly reinforced the Ancient Iron City, which will fall from the sky from time to time and strafe at the positions of the Mine City guards. Anna was hit in the body, a bullet made of unknown pieces. head, immediately made her feel a sharp pain like a burning fire.
Anna swooped down on a running "Adept", and with a flash of silver light on her hand, the creature fell to the ground, her chest pierced.
However, the blood spurted out like strong acid corrosion, and it almost made her hit.
After destroying several "Strangers", Sister Monica suddenly felt that the recovery ability in her body was a little different, not only did her recovery speed increase, but she also felt a feeling full of energy, which seemed to be inexhaustible.
Of course, they didn't know that this feeling was not unique to them, and it was impossible for them to know that a vision was about to come that would overshadow everyone's fears.
The hills and dirt roads in a radius of several kilometers were littered with broken flesh and limbs. The deafening gunfire of the outer battlefield was everywhere, countless lines of fire shuttled in the thick smoke and firelight, the reinforcements of the ancient iron city seemed to be endless, and the troops of the mine city guarding the pass began to be a little overwhelmed, even with the help of the Monica sisters and the blood clan, but this little force was not enough at all.
After all, it is a difference of dozens of times the number of people.
When you run out of ammunition, you can change to another weapon, but when you run out of people, you will have nothing!
For such a high-intensity battle, it was not easy for them to hold on here for such a long time.
But sometimes, quality can make up for the lack of quantity.
In the face of the overwhelming influx of the Ancient Iron City Legion, the bipedal mecha and quadruped mecha controlled by the wisdom brain played the greatest role.
Although it is difficult to make up for the differences in individual abilities, these terrifying war mechs can effectively turn the tide of battle, and with the advanced armed systems of Mine City, they can survive and fight in the harshest environments, not only with fierce firepower without fear, but also without fear of death.
And relying on the independent thinking of the brain, they will strictly carry out the orders issued by the Eastern Road, and will never have a speck of tolerance and mercy for the enemy.
Flesh-and-blood wars never make any sense, and whoever survives and has the last laugh is called victory.
Even without the heavy artillery bombardment of those positions in the rear, after a long period of hard-fought battles, the strength of the Mine City side was obviously not as good as before, and it showed a tendency to be exhausted.
The nearly 1,000-strong Mine City defense force suffered more than 300 casualties, and countless mechs and chariots were destroyed.
In terms of combat data, both sides actually suffered heavy casualties, but the proportion was about the same.
However, compared with the losses of the Imperial Legion, the nearly 1,000 people killed in the battle and the lost chariots and other weapons and equipment were only a drop in the bucket of the huge army, and there were more troops in the rear rushing fiercely and continuing to surge. The number of guards lost on the Mine City side was small, and most of the mechs, vehicles, and weapons were destroyed, and the number of dead was far inferior to that of the other side.
Just because they occupied the favorable terrain in advance and arranged the defensive front in advance, they are definitely a one-man pass, and they are not destroyed.
Long before the domino mech on the Eastern Road raided the enemy camp, the main passes in the area were covered with spider mines, which were able to distinguish the characteristics γ of enemy armored units through the analysis of bioenergetic reactions by the intelligent brain on the vehicle.
After a fierce fight, several "black armors" broke through the rain of bullets and bullets, and finally managed to break into the defenders' defenses.
Before the soldiers of the Ancient Iron City on the mecha had time to celebrate this small victory, they saw several legged spider mines quickly burrow out of the ground, "chirping" towards them at an incredible speed, and frantically pasted up.
The dozen or so chariots that followed were destroyed by the heat of the huge explosion before they could see what they were.
Screams of terror resounded throughout the valley, and the people on fire fell to the ground in an instant after taking a few steps.
These vehicles are more rugged and larger than ordinary "black armor", and the huge barrels are hidden in the body, which is very shocking against long-distance ground forces. To use these vehicles, it is necessary to use their transformation mode, which is fixed in a certain place, the tracks are retracted, and six fixed brackets are poked into the ground, which then turns into a stationary turret.
These people originally wanted to occupy this high ground and set up a simple defensive front, but they did not expect to turn into a pile of black and burning scrap metal before they saw the enemy.
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, thousands of acres of mountains and forests were surrounded by rumbling guns and flames, and with the momentum of the fifth-level wind, the burning forest was instantly turned to ashes, and it was afraid that it would be difficult to recover in a few decades.
Suddenly, there was a tremor in the earthquake!
A powerful assault force of the Ancient Iron City was marching at the entrance of the narrow tunnel leading to the Mine City, and countless soldiers saw that the half of the mountain wall in front of the left began to crumble, and countless boulders and dirt continued to roll down the mountain and smashed down directly.
The panicked soldiers immediately went into disarray, and those in front wanted to retreat, but those behind continued to move forward.
In an instant, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and a loud rumbling sound came from the ground, and strange black thunderclouds appeared in the sky, like a huge vortex that swallowed the sky, and the black pressure made people feel extremely palpitating.
The two hundred-man teams of the Ancient Iron City, along with chariots, mechas, and various equipment, were buried under the giant peak that collapsed like a spire.
The ensuing collapse caused a ghost crying wolf howl, and in the face of this supernatural force, those torrents of steel were like ants trampled on the huge soles of their feet in a storm, and the entire mountain road became a hell on earth.
What's going on?
Countless people were in a panic and panic, some began to run wildly with their heads in their hands, some simply crawled on the ground, and some simply threw away their weapons and got into the chariot.
A huge black tower burst out of the ground at the bottom of the valley, and in a matter of minutes, it rose to the height of the mountain next to it.
In the mining city, the mountains are also shaking at this time, as if the end is coming.
In the distance, the earth trembled, dust rose dozens of meters high, and a crack stretched from the foot of the mountain until it entered the interior of the mining city. The collapsed building made a strange "creak" sound, and the walls fell into the abyss on the ground with steel and iron bones.
"Ahh Not ——! ”
In the screams and cries of fear, a woman holding the baby tightly in her arms screamed, and instantly fell into that huge crack, and countless people around screamed in fear, seeing that this crack was getting bigger and bigger, hundreds of people didn't have time to run, and fell into the dark abyss together.
In fact, even if someone wanted to run, they couldn't run at all, and the shaking of the ground made it difficult to stand on their feet, and all the survivors held their heads like headless flies, fell and got back up, and everyone wanted to take refuge in the nearest building.
The yellow sand in the distance covers the sky and the sun, which is terrifying.
No one knew what was happening, and the world seemed to fall into a dark abyss all at once, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, shocked and stunned.
A few minutes later.
"Quick! Come out on, look at that! That thing...... Is it the moon or the sun? ”
A man dared to poke his head out of the ruins of the building, looked up, and his fingers pointing to the sky trembled slightly.
Soon, countless more heads protruded from the ruins, and people watched as the huge moon hung over the dome as if they had discovered that a door to a new world had been opened.
It was a vision that had never been seen before, and the pale blue sky was now grayish-white. The volume of the moon is magnified hundreds of times, silently watching the people on the ground.
"God, it's not the moon at all!"
"When did it get so big and so gray?"
"Oh my god, what the hell is going on?!"
Seeing this strange moon, everyone was dumbfounded, and only heard the earth-shaking thunder ringing in their ears, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were galloping out of nowhere.
Sunlight also gets weaker, starting with pale green aurora in the lower latitudes of the sky, and then turning into multicolored rays across the sky.
If one were to look at the planet from outside the atmosphere at this time, one would see a huge shadow slowly obscuring the ground, and the thick clouds were stretched into white wedges and still extended.
The wind gradually replaced the breeze and became more and more violent, the hot air slid across the surface, the temperature slowly rose, and small stones suddenly rolled on the ground, bouncing as if they had suddenly lost their gravity.
At this time, the wind force had exceeded level eight, and the ground was flying sand and rocks for a while, and everyone was like ants before the storm, panicking and busy looking for nearby shelter to take refuge, but many people couldn't even stand on their feet.
Someone noticed that something black and gray appeared in the sky, like a strange black cloud pressure, which seemed to be moving in the direction of Mine City.
After a while, people saw that the black clouds seemed to be made up of small black dots.
"Look over there! There's a big guy in the clouds! A man occasionally looked at the sky on the other side and couldn't help but cry out in horror.
