35. The battle begins

A day later

Elena woke up from her sleep in a daze.

She hadn't slept so deeply in a long time in half a month... Sleeping in the car gives Elena an inexplicable sense of security.

"Wake up, is that the royal city of Scarley?"

Lu Cheng's voice sounded in Elena's ears, and Elena opened her eyes in an instant.

"Arriving home?"

Elena seemed to be in a trance, and she looked out the car window with some excitement.

But the view from the window soon killed Elena's excitement and threw her into a basin of liquid nitrogen and froze into residues.

"Is that the royal city?"

Elena put her hands on the window and looked out.

Two SUVs were parked on a high slope some distance from the royal city of Scarlet, a location that General Hubert had told Lucheng, and where he could see the whole of the royal city.

It's the middle of the night, and a scarlet 'moon' in the sky is unusually dazzling, and dark red light particles float on the ground, like dark red snow rising upside down from the ground to the sky.

Elena's memory of the glorious city was gone, and in her place were ruins completely covered in scarlet fluid.

The scarlet fluid wound around the outer walls of King Scarre's city like vines... The plains beyond the walls were filled with bloodcrystals entangled in viscous liquid.

There were so many that they almost made Elena desperate, and it was a number that needed to be counted in tens of thousands.

"Blood... The blood is spreading, and it's coming... Let's go! The leyline crystals of this country have long been eaten by the Blood Crystal Beast, no... It's hopeless! ”

Charlotte looked out the window at the terrifying scene, and the whole rat was already shivering.

She had only seen this description in legends, and when the Blood Crystal Beast completely devoured the core of a country's leyline crystals, the country would be completely contaminated with blood, and become a place of death that humans could not set foot in.

"There's also the light of the protective barrier in the inner city! There are still people fighting these Blood Crystal Beasts! ”

Elena saw the white light of the inner city, one of the few spells that could work on the Bloodcrystal, and that was the defensive barrier released by the leyline crystal core.

At most, this barrier can only protect the inner city, which has long been transformed into a country of blood crystal beasts, and the people of the outer city of Scarley have become captives of these monsters, no... It should be said that it is food.

"Captain, what should I do?"

Lu Cheng heard the sound of Tiehuan's inquiry from the walkie-talkie in the vehicle, but Lu Cheng didn't answer Tiehuan but was silent.

"Your Excellency Lu Cheng, thank you for sending us all the way home."

General Hubert patted Princess Elena on the shoulder and opened the door to the back seat of the buggy.

"General Hubert, where are you going?" Elena discovers that Hubert has picked up his weapon this time and is about to get out of the car.

"To do what I have to do."

When General Hubert finished speaking, he saw that Elena wanted to follow, and reached out and pressed her back into place.

"Her Highness Elena! You and Prince Canther are our last hope! Lord Lu Cheng... I do not force you to come to our aid in this desperate situation, but I implore you to protect Her Highness Elena. ”

General Hubert's meaning was clear when he said this.

Wang Cheng was corrupted by the Blood Crystal Beast like this, and in his opinion, even if Lu Cheng had a weapon as powerful as a 'gun', it would be impossible to defeat so many Blood Crystal Beasts.

So General Hubert can only hope for the survival of Elena, the last descendant of Scarley, who is a general... Prepare to fight the enemy to the end on your own soil.

"General Hubert! They haven't given up yet! Elena spoke up at once.

"So many Blood Crystal Beasts are counted... It is impossible for Lord Lucheng's weapons to be wiped out. "General Hubert is already in a state of pessimism.

"What can't be wiped out? No matter how many times the number of these guys can be done, you can talk about life and death later, let me think about it for a while. ”

Lu Cheng directly interrupted the rather tragic parting plot between Elena and Hubert... And Lu Cheng's fingertips clicked on the steering wheel with some impatience.

Lu Cheng stared at the large pile of Blood Crystal Beasts outside the city wall in the distance, the number of them was about ten thousand to fifteen thousand, and their size ranged from one meter to three meters.

That's a desperately large number, at least in this age of the sword as a weapon.

But this group of guys on the plains is just a target for Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng thinks about what weapons he can use to clear these targets at once, and still not affect the civilians who may survive in the outer city.

"Tiehuan, will you control the cruise missile?"

Lu Cheng overtakes the radio to ask about the Demoman on his team, who can blast more than just ordinary bombs.

"Yes, very good... But Captain, we have missiles of this class in our armament? Tiehuan asked.

"Not just now, but now there is... Get out. ”

After Lu Cheng gave this order, he directly opened the car door and got out of the car.

The soldiers from Scarley and the members of the Road City team had also arrived at the buggy.

Lucheng summoned a portal directly on an open ground next to the buggy, this time large enough to throw the entire Pioneer into it.

Lu Cheng reached into the portal and pulled out a headset for radio communication.

"Plan C."

Lu Cheng conveyed these three words directly in the headphones, and the other side of the headphones quickly gave a 'understood' response.

Not long after, under the startled gaze of the pictorial and the kite, a honeycomb missile launcher slowly emerged from the portal.

The honeycomb missile launcher is six meters high, and everyone can only look up when they stand in front of this launcher.

"What is there to be surprised about, we are not fighting alone, there are countless logisticians and scientific researchers behind you to assist us."

Lu Cheng threw the black box that controlled this missile launcher to the iron ring.

"Captain, after killing those pterodactyls flying in the sky, are we going to go there by helicopter?"

Kite is still thinking about the helicopter, in fact, he asked on the way why he didn't just take the helicopter to the royal capital.

But the magnetic field of this world is too strange, and Lu Cheng still avoids the idea of long-distance flights for the sake of conservatism.

From here, it's still no problem to go a short distance to the royal city to manually control it, provided that you first kill the pterodactyl hovering above the royal city.

The giant pterosaurs hovering over the royal city of Scarre were the same Blood Crystals that had been found on Earth, and they had quickly exhausted to death after the Earth appeared, leaving only a large pile of bones when they were found.

But in this world, these pterosaurs were very active, hovering over Scarre like a swarm of dark clouds.

In this case, if a helicopter is dispatched, it is estimated that there will be a direct shot of the Black Hawk falling.

"If you want to get on the helicopter, you have to turn off that thing that looks like an energy shield." Lu Cheng picked up the binoculars and looked at the inner city of King Scarre.

The inner city of Scarley is protected by a transparent energy, a magical enchantment in Elena's description... The pterodactyls kept pounding the barrier in the air.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the barrier, but the barrier continued to shrink with the impact of the pterodactyl.

If the barrier is closed, Lu Cheng can't guarantee whether he will find the leyline core first, or if the blood crystal beast will devour the leyline core first.

"So you can only drive hard?"

The voice of the pictorial sounded a little excited, and she drove Pioneer II along the way, and she didn't know how many Blood Crystal Beasts had been crushed to death.

"Don't worry, let's kill the Blood Crystal Beast outside the city wall first, Iron Ring... You ready? Lu Cheng glanced at the iron ring that was being placed on the ground with the black box.

"It's set, and you can control it manually later." Tiehuan said.
