611 Atlas's plot and Catherine's warm-up
To the south of the Shengguang Fort, the arc defense line that originally directly blocked the Shengguang Fort retreated several kilometers, pulling out a larger arc, and the military unity circle was also dispersed, revealing a field that looked like a large crater, which was formed by the destruction of the original trenches when the Fei Communist Army retreated.
Waves of humans, golems, and demonic beasts stretched out in sparse formations in the crater, charging towards the southern defensive line. They were trudging through artillery fire, with large fireballs constantly exploding in their ranks, creating new craters ranging in diameter from a few meters to tens of meters. The metal projectiles wrapped in the fireball exploded into a metal storm, each of which washed over an area within a radius of ten or even tens of meters, leaving a void in the team that impacted it.
The large fireballs or stone and iron bullets that flew from behind the attackers were much thinner than before, and once the Marquis of Atlas's long-range firepower left the protective barrier of the Holy Light Castle, it was accurately hit by the Fei Gong magic cannon, and could only retreat into the protective barrier, and the very few magic cannons with sufficient range provided fire cover for the infantry.
"I don't understand Atlas's intentions," Wilson discussed the battle with Gambit, who was sitting in Beta City, two or three kilometers behind the Coalition Circle, in the command center of the teleportation fortress.
"It seems that Atlas and the one named Milhaus are not only not cooperating, but they are also competing with each other and even calculating," Gambit said, "If Milhaus had used his air power against the Legion, and the two of them had worked together, our losses would have been much heavier." Atlas also has a good chance of breaking through the defense and playing his strong hole cards to drive directly to Beta. ”
Wilson agreed: "It's easy to understand, they are all marquis under the Mad King, they are not subordinate to each other, of course they do their own thing. ”
He was puzzled again: "Mirhaus's abacus is easy to see, Atlas's idea is incomprehensible, and he is still consuming a large number of miscellaneous troops on frontal assault on the defensive line, and it is meaningless from the result." ”
"This is clearly a cover for another operation," Gambit speculated: "Has there been a change in the infiltration operations that bypass the line?"
Wilson sighed: "No, so that's where the confusion lies. ”
The Fei Gong army did not besiege the Holy Light Fort, and the defense line was only placed on the flat and open field. In other areas, a large number of spider carts and sentinels were deployed in the mountains and forests, and many infiltrators were captured, but in terms of intensity and frequency, it was only normal.
"Perhaps Atlas's goal is to increase the pressure on the defensive line, draw our forces in front of the Holy Light Castle, and then send his main force to the vicinity of Beta City through the portal at any cost, dealing a devastating blow to us. ”
Gambitt's reasoning is more straightforward: "Judging by his brutal method of using portals to gather his servant troops, this is the most likely." Although the teleportation spell has been greatly affected, as long as you are willing to use the space stone, the loss ratio for a force is still within a tolerable range. ”
"It is the most reliable inference that he does not know his cards," Wilson said, "and it seems necessary to draw the armored brigade from the line of defense and form a mobile force, ready to deal with it at any time...... In the military class taught by the cardinal, this kind of unit that suddenly appeared in the rear of the battlefield should be called paratroopers. ”
"I agree with this, so let's report it to the Legion Committee jointly," said Gambitt, "and when the cardinal has straightened out the Air Force, the armored brigade is about to be re-equipped, and it is time to withdraw them." ”
He continued: "Atlas's specialty is the Golem, which is the puppet of the alchemy route, and the hole cards should also be related to this, the Intelligence Bureau said that the Holy Light Castle already has our people, and I hope to provide further information." ”
Wilson sighed, "Until I understand Atlas's plans, I can only continue to watch our legions as executioners, mercilessly slaughtering the poor creatures who should have been liberated by us." ”
His gaze turned to the intelligence station, and after the massive cannon fodder soldiers trekked through several kilometers of artillery hell, only a very small number of them could get close to the military unity circle. There is no one out of ten who can penetrate the barrier and fire at the Fei Gong Legion.
A few puppets with simple shapes and slow movements, which looked no different from the puppets in the rice fields, penetrated the military solidarity and fired machine guns at the defenders' positions in a panic, then turned and retreated.
The Magic Guide Cannon of Position Mountain didn't let them go, and with one shot, they lifted three puppets into the air, weighing a pile of fragments when they fell to the ground, as well as ...... Several translucent balls.
The translucent balls bounced on the ground a few times, propelled by some force, and rolled backwards with a grunt. The commander of the front line looked at it with a telescope and subconsciously shouted: "......"
In the ball is a dog...... No, a kobold, stepping on a ball supported by a slender skeleton with a certain protective function, quickly ran backwards.
"Are we fighting kobolds?"
The commander suddenly felt that the battle numbers accumulated by his troops over the past few days were like a glass of spoiled beer, not only tasteless, but even churning in his stomach.
In the hall of the Holy Light Castle, Atlas sat on the huge copper ingot as always, observing the scene in the various light curtains.
His eyes were suddenly drawn to a curtain of light, an area near the edge of the battlefield, where a series of rudimentary puppets were advancing obscenely under the cover of craters. It was in stark contrast to the other troops who were heroically exposed to blazing fire and charged in a daze.
In front of these puppets, translucent balls with a diameter of less than half a meter kept rolling back, and in each ball there was a ...... running wildly on the balls Kobolds.
"It was delivered by Count Srucano...... Kobold armor, made up of ...... Baron Irrelevant Valley led the team, named Rezling, and was a human magician. ”
When the apprentice reported the affiliation of the unit, Atlas rubbed his sharp metal chin with his metal fingers and muttered, "Interesting, good idea." ”
"When this army is all back, let that ...... Rezlin came to see me with troops. ”
The apprentice was given instructions, and his attention turned elsewhere.
"The intensity is not enough, the layers are not rich, and the main thing is that it is not enough...... Novelty is not enough to get our lord to cast the necessary attention, and there is no point in dispatching the colossus at this time", Atlas muttered to himself, "It seems that we have to invest in strengthening the golem troops, and I hope that the enemy's response will please my lord." ”
..................
"It's really fished!"
High up in the sky north of the cactus base, the blue dragon Halligos shouted happily, which not only meant that his special danger post allowance was firmly in his pocket, but also had a good reason to pay dividends after the war.
Then he flapped his wings and screamed in horror, "It's big! I can't kill that guy!"
The iron dragon swooped down and swooped down on the much smaller blue dragon. Halligos swooped from a few hundred meters away to the vicinity of the fighter, and the sudden acceleration of this moment was definitely beyond his usual limit.
The blue dragon turned back into a humanoid shape and drilled into the nose turret, and the iron dragon head was slightly off, turning the dive target into a fighter.
Litch exclaimed in disgust, "Harry, you coward, you ruined our great chance to strike on the flank!
Halligos went crazy: "You still can't talk about credibility!"
The fighter plane sank suddenly, and the canopy behind Li Qi exploded into a large cloud of fragments, and Catherine soared into the air, and the blazing white light and dust gushed out from her body, like dragging a cloud of mist, towards the iron dragon.
My Fighter ......
Li Qi didn't dare to shout this, which disturbed Catherine's boiling fighting spirit, even he didn't have good fruit to eat, and it was at least a cold face to be dumped all day.
The figure of the iron dragon grew rapidly, and the size of the wings stretched out for at least forty meters brought a huge sense of oppression. It didn't shy away from the small figure that came up, but poked out its dragon head, and the corner of its mouth overflowed with a magma-like dragon flame breath, ready to burn this figure into charcoal, along with the flying machine below and the blue dragon that had turned back into a human form.
This figure was radiating a power that made the dragon's heart palpitate, it seemed to be a legendary power, but in the eyes of the iron dragon Zalimkta, this power that had not yet formed a clear boundary and solidified into a realm was not enough to pose a mortal threat to it. For an adult iron dragon at the peak of his hero, a new human legend is not strong enough that it must retreat.
What's more, it was a surprise attack from top to bottom, holding the initiative and having a great advantage.
The small figure suddenly stretched into a ten-meter-tall giant, still small compared to the iron dragon, but the two or three meters wide and ten-meter-long big sword that was pulled out finally made the iron dragon realize that his estimation might be wrong.
Unable to wait to fill up the dragon flame, it lowered its head and opened its mouth, ready to use this dragon flame to maintain its initiative first.
As soon as the head was lowered and the mouth was opened, a crisp cry was heard.
"Ax - Sword of Liberation!"
Catherine, who had transformed into the second order, swung her great sword with both hands, and slashed out a blazing white arc of light, slashing from the belly of the iron dragon to the dragon's head.
A blast exploded in the air, and the fighter plane rolled away from the impact, and was washed away by countless shredded metal like shotguns.
The blue dragon huddled into a ball with his head in his hands, screaming in the turret that looked like a washing machine. Li Qi held up his shield to resist the metal jet, and when he looked closely, the fragments were all iron dragon scales.
In the sky not far away, the huge figure of the iron dragon that had swooped down flew up, its head was raised high, and a magma dragon flame of one or two hundred meters sprayed into the sky, from the belly to the jaw, a terrifying wound that almost disemboweled the abdomen made the iron dragon's nerves and consciousness fall into a state of stalemate.
Dragons are strong creatures after all, and the iron dragon came back to his senses after spitting out a mouthful of dragon flame. The pain caused it to let out a roar that made the vast space around it tremble, and the original gray-brown dragon pupils turned blood-red.
The size of this iron dragon instantly doubled, and a strange fluctuation spread around it, and Li Qi was shocked to find that the fighter plane stopped flipping and quickly approached the iron dragon.
"Metal mastery! The talent of the metal dragon, but the iron dragon can only affect the steel ......"
Halligos screamed in panic as the turret ring, canopy stiffeners, and machine-gun mounts of ordinary steel broke free and accelerated towards the dragon. Followed by a messy array of steel parts, including machine gun bullets with a steel bullet core, and even Halligos' seat.
"Help!"
By the way, helmets and armor with steel parts are also included. When the blue dragon hid back, he was very security-conscious and fully armed, but now it has become a shackle that pulls him towards the iron dragon.
Richie was also pulled out of the cockpit, and quickly unbuckled his seat belt, retracted into the turret, and pulled out his knife to cut through Hallgos's helmet and armor straps.
"Are you dissecting me!?"
Halligos screamed in pain, and Richie was so quick that the knife was cutting through his back like a slice of fish.
The helmet and armor snorted through the turret, and the clothes on Halligos were gone. He wore the uniform of the Fei Gong Legion, and the buttons were all iron......
Li Qi thought happily, fortunately, he was used to wearing burlap clothes with buttons made of cloth, without any jewelry, and his assistants did not have ordinary steel parts.
In an instant, Halligos was naked, and the white flower and pollen's delicate skin came into Richie's eyes, because he was dancing in the turret with his forehand, and all the details of his body were clear at a glance.
Richie closed his eyes and opened them again, then closed them.
That's right, this is really a pseudo-girl......
Halligos curled up in a ball, clutching his crotch over his chest and screaming, "Ahhh
"Sorry for slipping ...... hand"
Li Qi coughed and explained, and then shouted: "Aren't you a dragon, why do you want to be naked when scales can be changed into clothes!?"
"Oh...... I forgot", the hunting suit I had seen before instantly covered his pink skin that made countless girls go crazy.
"Leave the plane alone, you hurry up and become a dragon", Li Qi said, this fighter plane can't be saved, Catherine hasn't put the real big move yet.
The blue dragon is still sticking to his principles: "You said you wouldn't treat me as a mount!"
Li Qi said happily: "I won't deduct your allowance, and I will make up your transportation allowance when I go back." ”
Boom, the turret was torn apart, and Halligos took dragon form.
When the blue dragon carried Li Qi away from the iron dragon's magnet force field, the iron dragon also launched another round of offensive.
Large pieces of silver shiny metal spilled out of it, along with all the bits and pieces that attracted the past, as if they had been thrown into lava, instantly turning red.
It flapped its wings and spewed a rain of steel at Catherine that was almost burning to molten iron.
"Audiel - Sword of Liberation!"
The light dust that enveloped Catherine's body spread, surging with her sword.
The red-hot rain of steel submerged into the light stream, instantly faded its color, and disintegrated into fine white light, which merged into the light stream and turned back to bombard the iron dragon.
The iron dragon suddenly froze, like a piercing hiss of metal rubbing, and its body was constantly shattered.
It was no longer possible to tell whether it was the scraps of flesh or bones that flew in the air like flying ashes, and if it wasn't for the scene to witness them, no one would believe that these flying ashes were the huge, powerful iron dragon just now.
Catherine's bare wings slowly swuffled, her great sword slung over her shoulders, and she looked up. It seems that the solution is just an insignificant creep, and she is looking for a new enemy.
"Good, good ......"
The blue dragon flapped its wings in the distance and said in a trembling voice: "What a powerful sister!"
"Of course she's amazing, she's the strongest witch. ”
On the back of the blue dragon, Li Qi, who was clutching the ice blue mane, spoke in an extremely proud tone, Catherine didn't even use the third-order transformation. Cleaning up a low-ranking dragon clan at the peak of a hero is probably not even a warm-up for her.
"It's a pity ......"
Seeing the flying ash disperse with the wind, the blue dragon said again: "Although the iron dragon is only a low-ranking dragon clan, the things on his body are still very valuable." For example, dragon skin, the skin used as a fighter is very good. ”
Li Qi was stunned, indeed, dragon skin is really good as fighter skin.
In fact, even if it is a flying dragon skin, it is also a good material for making fighter skin. Whether it is a rusty wyvern or a white steel wyvern, although the scales are steel, they are very light, and the protection is not as good as the magic metal with spells attached to it, but it is much better than ironwood.
Wait a minute......
He asked Halligos, "Aren't you a dragon, and you don't have any taboo about skinning and cramping?"
"That's not my kind," Halligos said, "and I've never been a racist, I'm a pragmatist." ”
You've only been at the base for a few days, so you're too strong in learning!
"There!"
Catherine's sensing ability in the unfolding field has increased greatly, and the greatsword is pointed higher in the airspace.
Li Qi buckled his eagle glasses and adjusted them to the maximum magnification, and sure enough, on the clouds at an altitude of about 20,000 meters, there were three small dots and one large dot moving northward.
"I'll go first!"
On the floating ship, the halfling warlock grabbed a handful of transparent gems that changed color and color, and said in horror: "That little girl is a legend! The most powerful kind of legend! Zalimkta was seconds in two clicks, it's too dangerous here, she will catch up!"
Next to her, Kidina watched in amazement as the halfling activated the gem and chanted a spell, the gem split and exploded, and the figure of the halfling also turned into a phantom and gradually disappeared.
"Chasing ...... No, no!"
Catherine flapped her wings of light, as slow as if she were rising in water, and she cried out in discontent.
Li Qi patted the blue dragon, and the blue dragon resigned himself to his fate: "I...... Well, the transportation allowance has to be doubled, and I'm not guaranteed to catch up. ”
Moments later, Richie and Catherine sat on the dragon's back, and the blue dragon struggled to rise and fly towards its target above the clouds.
