A few days later.

Southern part of the Fertile Plains, Tower 10 site.

Poshan lay outside the turret, gazing at the silhouette of the ancient city in the distance. She had seen reports of the Northern Expedition in the weekly newspapers, and knew that it was the historical witch city of Tachira, and the devil had traveled thousands of miles to capture it, but was eventually repelled by the First Army.

And now, they will defeat a new enemy here and retake Tachira.

One minute...... Thirty seconds...... Ten seconds......

She counted silently as she plugged her ears.

"Boom, boom, boom" Behind him, the roar of artillery rang out as promised. The continuous tremors were transmitted through the ground to the body, and she could feel her arms tingling slightly. It was the artillery's 152-mm fortress gun pouring fire on the target, which was not at all on the same level as the short-barreled field gun on the tank.

"Team leader, haven't you gotten used to the sound of the cannon?" said the pilot, Bei, looking back. He sat cross-legged at the front of the car, holding a box of canned instant food in his hand. This is also what she admires the other party more, even on the battlefield where corpses are strewn everywhere and the smell of evil beasts wafts everywhere, he can eat as usual. "You have to learn to let your ears filter out irrelevant noises on their own to stay focused. ”

"I think you just don't have very sensitive ears. Poshan looked away expressionlessly, although the driver and gunner were experienced veterans, according to the regulations, the commander was the leader of the crew. What's more, judging from her actual age, maybe she is a little older than these two. "The only sound I need to listen to carefully is the screaming of the magic stone, neither the sound of cannons nor your nonsense, understand?"

"Team Leader...... You're really mean. Bey smacked her lips, "I thought Miss Witch was sweet and cute, like Nanava Angel ......"

"Five years ago, witches were the devil's minions and the embodiment of evil. ”

"Well, you're going to be liked. ”

"Whoever said that, I think the team leader is very good. Gunner Shure interjected, "He is straightforward, capable, has never joined the army, but can adapt to the battlefield in a short period of time, and is completely the best choice to be a commander." ”

The two looked at Shure in unison.

The latter was stunned, "What, did I say something wrong?"

"No," Poxanne shrugged, "even though you tried to shoot ten shots during training, you're not useless. ”

The gunner showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Bei hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, team leader, who was the person waiting for you outside the camp when you were at Tower 9 Station before? He also seems to be wearing the uniform of the First Army, could it be your friend?"

"What are you asking for? ”

Bello was a little embarrassed and said, "I saw that he had a medal on his chest, so it's not easy to get to know the person who can get the medal, he should be a very powerful guy." ”

"I do know, but he's not that great, and he would have become food for the beasts without me. Bosanne pretended not to be concerned, but her tone couldn't help but slow down a lot.

"Wow, you're too strict, aren'......"

Before the other party could finish speaking, she covered her ears.

Another round of deafening shelling.

The unprepared shell grinned at the roar of the rolling.

And this time, after the sound of artillery, three green flares flew up, which was the signal for the attack.

"Looks like you're not very focused. Boshan patted the side steel plate of the turret, "Team Twelve, let's go!"

Bei didn't talk back, but dropped the canned food box in his hand and slipped into the car through the driver's window. Shure also retracted into the cramped turret, ready for battle, no matter what the usual situation, when it came to the critical moment, the two of them were not ambiguous at all.

Poshan raised his glass, and saw that many evil beasts had escaped from the ruins under the blows of the artillery unit, fleeing towards the north. Looking back behind him, the soldiers of the First Army were divided into dozens of squads, and they were steadily advancing with the rutted marks of the tanks.

This formation is obviously not intended to deal with ordinary hybrids.

The deeper they went into the plains, the more bladed beasts they encountered, from one in the first two or three days to several a day now. Since it is difficult to detect with the naked eye, it is far more difficult to deal with than ordinary evil beasts. There is no doubt that the strategy of the military upper echelons has worked, and Scream Resonance can find and annihilate targets outside the range of the short-barreled cannon, but the enemy does not seem to be just a simple beast.

They would hide behind all sorts of shelter and launch surprise attacks on the army, and the blow of artillery fire would scare away the beasts but not them, so it took a lot of effort to retake the forts along the railroad. At a cost, the First Army quickly developed a strategy centered on the armoured troops, and the musketeers, who had previously used tanks as scouts, had now learned to rely on them to clear fortifications.

The ruins of Tachira in front of you are by far the most complex non-field battlefield.

Half an hour later, the No. 12 crew, one of the vanguards, drove into the city of Tachira, and at Poshan's side were the No. 9 and No. 17 cars. According to the plan, they will be responsible for clearing the area leading from Main Street to West End Plaza and reclaiming the two forts set up here.

Looking at the surrounding scene, Boshan couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle, the many stone buildings made the situation in the city extremely complicated, and also greatly reduced the detection range of the screaming sigil, she had now heard multiple sources of magic power, but she was still unable to locate the specific target.

"How the hell did you get here?"

"It's very simple, as long as you kill the Red Mist Tower and those bone racks, the devil will naturally retreat. Shure replied, "Have you found the enemy?"

"Not yet. But it's safe to say that there are quite a few monsters hiding in this city. Pothanne gestured to the soldiers behind him, bringing them closer to the tank and increasing the distance between the other two crews.

It wasn't long before a gray concrete fortress appeared at the end of the street, and although the First Army was forced to abandon the place, the fortifications were not destroyed by the enemy.

At this moment, a scream became noticeably louder.

Bothanne frowned, that wasn't the sound a blade beast should have.

She looked at Amy, the captain of the No. 9 crew, who shook his head in the same puzzlement.

And when he drove past the fortress, the hum of the sigil was so loud that even Bei could hear it.

Out of an abundance of caution, she asked the two groups to stop for a while, deciding to go to the square to take a look first, and activated the resonance sigil at hand by the way. Even if the target wasn't a blade beast, she wanted to see where the source of mana was pointing.

Soon, a flash of fluorescence appeared out of thin air, pointing to the center of the plaza not far away, where there was nothing at all.

Could it be that she has encountered a new invisible enemy?

No, Poisan soon noticed that the stone bricks on the surface of the square seemed to have been pried open by something, and there were patches of black corrosion around them.

That thing is hiding under the ground!

As soon as the thought came, the dirt under the stone bricks suddenly arched, and a monster of flesh and ribs crawled out of the ground, spitting out a pile of "transparent bodies"! If it weren't for the slime still on them, Pothanne wouldn't have been able to separate them from the background.

Almost at the same time, the screaming charm issued a high-pitched warning, and she suddenly realized that those things were all blade beasts!
