Chapter 1396: The Disaster of Silence
The devil's attack was suppressed.
Although the black stone pillar is amazingly large, judging from the complex texture structure inside, the small spider demons it can carry are not endless. In addition, the blocking force is equipped with an extremely complete range of weapons, and there are more than 20 general-purpose machine guns, and the fire net woven at this distance can be described as airtight.
The number of people gathered at the retreat point soon exceeded three hundred, which was almost close to the total number of the blocking troops. The few casualties were due to the diversion process - separated by a stone pillar that plunged straight into the center of the position, the group farther down the mountain would undoubtedly be under more pressure, and in addition to the threat of spider demons, friendly bullets were also dangerous. They could only crouch as low as they could, firing at the enemy as they rounded their wings.
Fortunately, after the popularization of tracer bullets, the suppression efficiency and accuracy of machine gun units are no longer the same as in the past. Guided by the Streamer Tail, the main shooter can clearly and unambiguously choose the target he wants to hit, at least without knowing that his trajectory has deviated from the battlefield as in the past.
Of course, the most crucial point is undoubtedly the timely warning of lightning - if the cannon is hit by a flying stone pillar during the opening of the cannon, the casualties of the troops will never be more than that.
So when she slowly fell, she won unanimous and warm applause from everyone.
However, there was not the slightest relaxation on Lightning's face, "Where is the commander of the troops?"
"I'm in charge of this operation, Cat's Paw. The catpaw stepped forward and saluted the little girl, "Thanks to you this time." ”
"You must organize a retreat at once," Lightning said very quickly, "The same large number of spider demons are hidden in the Blackstone Pillar that destroyed the camouflage position before, and they are coming this way. In addition, there are many launchers floating on land, and the enemy may throw new stone pillars at any time!"
Cat's Paw was shocked after hearing this.
Now that the bombardment mission has been completed, the planned and orderly evacuation is the next thing to do, but how to leave is obviously very different - he wanted to clear the remaining enemy in the position, and then take all his comrades out of the desperate mountain range, whether they are dead or alive, but for now, the situation seems to be worse than he expected.
The two preset positions are not far apart, and there is a road halfway up the mountain, and if Lightning's information is correct, the longer they delay on the mountain, the more likely they are to encounter the spider demon halfway through.
The mountain trail was no better than the witch's leveled position, and the narrow place was just enough for two people to stand side by side, and the snow and slope made it almost impossible to erect an effective defensive line. There are only two options - either the troops will go down the mountain immediately, as many as they want, and try to occupy the halfway point of the mountain before the spider demon arrives, or call in reinforcements to intercept the enemy for them.
The problem was that there were more than two or three "stone pillar launchers" in Lightning's mouth, and if the position of the support force was exposed, it was likely to be bombarded as a key target - after all, that team numbered more than 800 people and looked more like the main force. Therefore, the safest way is to tell them to stand still and hold off the enemy by their own strength.
But rationality is rationality, and it is not an easy decision to make.
Twenty or thirty people are still missing, they may be wounded and unable to move, or they may be looking for opportunities on the back of the pillars, and once the troops leave, these people will have to seek that glimmer of life alone.
There is also a pomelo peel that never shows up......
Cat's paw was in a trance for a while.
"Captain!" someone next to him reminded.
He suddenly came back to his senses, yes, he was the leader of this team, and no matter when, completing the task was the first thing he had to think about. And now the task is to bring as many First Army soldiers out of the desperate mountains as possible.
"Liaison, call the support units and let them remain hidden. The cat's paw gritted his teeth and ordered, "The rest of the people, now evacuate the position immediately, we will meet at the fork in the mountainside!"
Then he pulled out a bull's horn and blew the horn of a swift retreat—
Under this order, the musket units responsible for protection were divided into groups to cover the movement of the scattered artillery down the hill until everyone on the scene left.
"Miss Lightning, can I ask you something?" After giving the order, Catpaw looked at Lightning, "Those soldiers who can't get closer to this side for a while—"
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Lightning knew from his expression what he was going to say.
"Please!" Catpaw saluted again, and began to organize the evacuation of the artillerymen to the next assembly point.
......
"This is the work you're proud of?"
The Scourge of Silence glanced at the masked face, and although the other party did not speak, Nasopelle seemed to hear the ridicule from the other man's mouth.
The Bug's resistance was much more intense than it had expected, and even though the battle was almost close to its face, the Flame Symbiote had not yet eliminated all of its resistance in one fell swoop, making it somewhat reluctant to step down, especially after it had made a declaration of the supremacy of knowledge in front of the other party.
You must know that the name "Absolute Fire" was given to the new symbiote to prove that its creation has the power to overwhelm the human fire branches, fire crossbows, and fire rain, but this bug army not only blocked the first wave of backfire on the mountaintop, but now formed a defensive line on the mountainside, blocking the second wave of small symbiotes that rushed over from the mountain path.
This result is really unacceptable to Narsopelle!
Obviously, his works are more powerful than the original body, not only offensive and defensive, not limited by life mayflies, but also not afraid of life and death, never tired until the magic is exhausted, it can be said to be a perfect weapon of war. If it had been invented hundreds of years earlier, there would have been such a thing as a union fleeing - not to mention the Fertile Plains, even if it was pushed all the way to the southernmost island of the Dawning Realm!
But for the first time in actual combat, the performance of Absolute Fire is not much better than that of the protobody, how can this not make it extremely annoyed?
"There are so many symbiotes in the gods that God has made, I'd like to see how long these bugs can resist!" Kamen Maharaja raised the magic core in his hand again.
The Scourge of Silence grabbed its arm.
"Do you want to say that magic is limited—" Nasopelle was dissatisfied, and what he rejected most was this kind of crude behavior of "interfering" with power rather than reasoning. This is true of blood, so is the Lord of the Celestial Firmament, and so is the Lord of Silence, who is always silent.
Indeed, the reason why the improved "spear" symbiote can throw such an astonishing weight is inseparable from the powerful magic provided by the modified obelisk, each of its launches consumes a huge amount, and if it is projected multiple times in a short period of time, it will affect the normal flight of the god-made god. In addition, this will also accelerate the aging of the divine stone veins under the obelisk, shortening the lifespan of the god-made god in disguise. "-But if you don't destroy these bugs, won't it only add to their stubborn arrogance?, don't forget that the bugs brought by Hekzod are also watching this war, and for the sake of the next plan of the clan, they must be completely defeated no matter what!"
"Let me go. ”
The Scourge of Silence replied succinctly.
Following its point, Kamen couldn't help but be stunned, "Are you going to launch it with the spear?" I've done several experiments, and the moment that thing hits the ground is enough to crush all the living creatures in the stomach, even if it is wrapped in a buffer bag, it is difficult to save life, and only some symbiotes can withstand such a big impact. ”
"But you didn't test it with me, did you?" said the Silent Calamity as he walked towards the stone monument that was ready to go.
"Hekzod is not here now, in case of an accident, I won't save you!"
The other party waved his hand, as if he did not take this warning to heart in the slightest.
Kamen had no choice but to turn the core and control the spear symbiote to open the covering shell.
Just as the Scourge of Silence was about to burrow into the inside of the stele, the mask stopped it.
"Hey, don't die. ”
Silence lifted his arm, only to see a white fabric wrapped around it—what seemed to be the scraps of a robe.
Kamen frowned, few in the community were preoccupied with decoration, and the light pure white garment reminded it of the image of Vakiris, who was often seen in the Holy See.
"I won't die until I kill all the humans. It replied slowly, and the figure disappeared into the stele.
