Capture the thief and capture the king first, everyone understands this truth.
In any case, it is necessary for her to meet the legendary "Faceless God of War" for a while to see if the initiator of this war is really worthy of this name.
The next war is crucial, but it is inevitable, and there are still more important things in this world than blood and fire waiting for her.
She doesn't want to be an absentee of the war, but an existence that determines the outcome of the war.
The fog in front of us cannot bury the truth forever, after the plague, war, and the destruction of the world, what will become of the last human world on this continent? After all the brief prosperity, the shadows still rise and fall, where is the origin of the war that hangs over this world?
The hard-won peace must not be buried in her hands, and although it seems dangerous, there is not much time left for her.
She was looking for an answer. The truth is what she must know.
Although the defense of Mine City was weak, she didn't take it very seriously.
There are Su Zhe and his werewolf men, the Monica sisters, nearly a hundred blood clans, as well as Dongfang Lu and his mecha troops, and the mysterious Jidu people, the emperor of the blood clan, Long Resentful.
These people were not ordinary people, but powerful creatures as powerful as her, gathered together for the sake of that young man, and condensed into a powerful camp.
"That's right, I owe you the truth, master......"
Qiao Yina pondered for a long time, still running towards the central pillar.
Less than 20 kilometers from the main city of the mining city, yellow sand blew from the broken road and soon whistled into the rocky ravines at the bottom of the valley.
The ground shook, and a row of high-energy explosive bombs fell from the sky, which exploded within a range of hundreds of meters on the ground, destroying the makeshift bunker, and several off-road vehicles parked on the side of the road were blown into the air, and suddenly turned into burning scrap metal and crashed to the ground.
In the firelight, the swept air repelled the surrounding air, and the cold wind bounced back under a wall of heatwaves, turning into a torrent that pushed violently in the direction it had come.
The bombed ground was covered with blackened craters, and smoke billowed everywhere, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
A piece of burning metal smashed onto a soldier's helmet, sending a splash of dust in his face.
But he just reached out and tapped his helmet, shook off the floating soil, and did not even drop the cigarette in his mouth, he took out the lighter again, and lit the half of the cigarette.
And next to him were mountains of ammunition boxes.
"He's NND, I've never seen a missile that can be recognized so accurately!" He looked up at the heavy drone that was already far away, and spat out a mouthful of earthy slimy phlegm from his mouth.
Behind him was a trench, and the soldiers, like him, who did not take the bombardment seriously at all, seemed to be accustomed to such a situation, and did not have the panicked behavior of running around and hiding elsewhere.
True, they can see drones flying over here every few minutes, and this positional bombardment has been going on for almost 1 hour.
Although they also know that the guards of Mine City are advanced in weaponry and accurate when attacking targets, there will always be a time when they run out of ammunition. Compared to the huge army of the Ancient Iron City, they are nothing more than prey struggling on the line of death.
Those tanks and mountains of ammunition and equipment are just a front, to put it bluntly, for the enemy to waste ammunition, and they are just cannon fodder. Behind them, the real torrent of steel was divided into dozens of methodical offensive phalanxes, slowly advancing towards the Mine City from 3 directions.
This is the tactic of the emperor.
The legions of the ancient iron city are not imaginary, they are the strength of fighting with the surrounding gangs for many years, fighting from the fierce battles of iron and blood, and the soldiers who surround the mining city are also elite soldiers and strong generals mobilized from various battlefields.
Although this kind of scene was much more terrible and fierce than the battle they had seen on a daily basis, they still had the heart to joke and laugh with each other, and walked out of the nearby bunker as if nothing had happened, and continued to work.
Some people are digging trenches, some people are cleaning up the wreckage of the battlefield, and they are dragging the weapons and equipment and various supplies that have been dropped by air.
These soldiers of the ancient iron city removed the weapons and ammunition from the parcel boxes, swept away the flames that had not yet been extinguished, and continued to camouflage the empty shells of the chariots, piling them up on the scattered open spaces, and soon created one false target after another.
"Da Da Da! Da Da Da -"
The firepower from 3 different directions intersected into a point in the air, and after the crackling firelight shone, the left half of the fuselage of a heavy drone in Mine City exploded, emitting a faint green smoke, whistling through an arc in the air, falling in the direction of the mountains in the distance.
The ground forces scattered all over the mountains began to advance slowly, surging like a tidal wave, rolling up the yellow sand that covered the sun.
On a hill five kilometers away, in a temporary command post, a middle-aged man with the mark of red hearts on his temple was holding a telescope and condescendingly checking the situation a few kilometers away.
"Report to the general, our army has completed the formation! Waiting for your orders at any time! ”
"Very well, after that, it's time to wait for the enemy to arrive."
"Are we going to wait? This time we have enough troops, and the side of the mine city has been besieged for many days, and it is estimated that we can't even eat enough, right? An adjutant beside the General of Hearts pursed his lips and said as he looked at the silhouette of the city in the distance.
"That's right! And they didn't send ground troops at all, and they didn't make any big moves, so it should be unlikely that we would fail. The other lieutenant also raised his binoculars and slowly panned from the direction of Mine City to the other side.
The General of Hearts' face twitched slightly, but turned to look at the scout, and said, "You can't be careless...... Be careful of the strong men that the emperor said, how is the battle situation of our vanguard troops? ”
"Report to the General, they should have caused quite a bit of chaos in the city. According to the refugees captured by our sentinels, the city was in flames, there were huge explosions everywhere, and everyone fled to the lower city for refuge. The opponent's defense is also very strong, heavy firepower weapons are endless, and the battle is fierce. Now...... Maybe we've almost wiped out those who emit high heat. ”
The scout had a proud look on his face, and he gestured.
"What nonsense?" The General of Hearts' tone changed suddenly.
"Huh, what guys? Watch your words, soldier! They are 'exterminators'! Got it? He was the best warrior under the Emperor's command. In order not to hinder our army, they made the necessary sacrifices! Do you think that those good soldiers were sent to death in vain? ”
"Yes, I'm sorry! I know wrong, General......" The scout's voice trembled, he knew the temper of the General of Hearts.
"Hehe-why are you so angry? The battle plan for them to fall from above into the city was made by the emperor himself, and the order was also given by him himself. Those guys were never afraid of death, for the sake of the emperor's hegemony, death was the most glorious sublimation of their lives. A slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from the other side of the hill.
The General of Hearts turned his head abruptly and looked at the figure that was gradually getting taller.
The man of great figure walked up the dirt slope, with pale yellow broken hair, and a heavy cloak that was half-bare-shouldered. A cloak draped from the mechanical shoulder armor covered one arm, and a special combat suit with metal spikes was on his body, followed by several armed soldiers.
His face had a striking black plum mark, and his eyes were like a sharp sword, shooting straight at him. At this moment, he is looking at his face with interest.
The General of Hearts was stunned for a moment, and the anger he wanted to do was also suppressed: "Hmm! How did you—how did you get to my position? Aren't you supposed to be in the northwest direction, Plum? ”
Plum Blossom's swarthy face was particularly translucent in the sun, and his skin seemed to be glowing with a layer of light, so he glanced at him and said, "Heh, I'm just preparing for your first echelon." Fuck it! It actually made you take the lead. My little cubs can't wait for a long time, and now they are ready to wait for the emperor's order to attack. ”
"Oh! In this way, your men and horses have long been unable to hold back and want to rush into battle? Did you come to me to see the battle going on here? ”
General Plum Blossom smiled, noncommittal, lifted the cloak on his body, and under the mechanical device on his shoulder was a thick, strange-looking machine gun, which was obviously his left arm.
General Red Hearts knew that this Plum Blossom General was an out-and-out battlefield maniac, originally a gang leader entrenched around the ancient iron city, and after several confrontations with the emperor's army, he finally realized that if he wanted to survive, there was only one way - surrender.
So after being absorbed by the emperor, he mixed into the position of deputy general with his strong ability, and after the disappearance of the original poker generals, he was naturally promoted to this position.
Although the cloak on his body looked like linen, stained with blood and oil, in fact, it was woven with wire. It is said that like the cloak on the emperor's body, he was distinguished by his bravery in battle, and his achievements were brilliant, which was specially rewarded by the emperor.
And there is another point, he is a huge body, he is a mutant human of this era, but he is different from those deformed humans, except for the tall body, there is no damage in other places.
After the emperor obtained the genetic modification technology taught by the "Obsidian Hunting Regiment", he was also the first high-ranking person to accept the modification of the body.
"The armament of those nobles is not simple, although I have never fought against them......" General Plum showed a greedy look on his face.
"Huh, what? What do you see? ”
"That's right, it seems that those so-called aristocratic bigwigs also have a lot of strong and capable people, and there has been no large-scale escape of refugees, which shows that the resistance organized by these people is very effective and the guards are also very strict."
General Hearts put down the binoculars in his hand, glanced at General Plum Blossom, and said, "Those refugees could have run, but now it is estimated that there will be no chance, they will become cannon fodder." It's really morally degenerate, and the world is declining! ”
"yes, but I like it!"
