Chapter 358: Slashing
Despite the sudden and ominous magical reaction at the back of the camp, Sylvie couldn't care so much.
Aside from minimal surveillance and a hasty warning, she turned all her attention to the devil's army a few kilometers to the north.
There was something she had never seen before, she couldn't even classify it as dead or alive, and the mere look revealed evil.
It is about the size of a small two-story building, with a reptile-like silhouette, resembling a crab or a spider, but its limbs and torso are made of dark stone. There was no sense of agility as he walked, every step was a glance, completely ignoring the occasional cannonballs falling around him, even if the demons in his companionship were blown to powder in the fire, these monsters did not pause in the slightest, but they were somewhat similar to those machines invented by His Majesty Roland.
But it's not really a machine.
Through the thick shell, she could see that there was a wriggling body hidden inside, and the light of magic flowed through it, and poured into all parts of the shell along thousands of veins.
If I had to describe it, Sylvie could only think of the word parasitism.
Living creatures are parasitic in stone and metal.
Compared to creepers, those intimidating "siege beasts" are not so terrifying.
The good thing is that it's not indestructible.
The Flowering Bullets fired by the First Army still deal damage to the Creeper and do not even need to be directly hit, as long as they land near the Creeper, it will destroy its lower limbs, rendering it immobilized.
It's a pity that their targets are too small for tens of thousands of devils - even if Sylvie has been guiding artillery teams to fire at them since these monsters appeared, but the shells flying for several kilometers can't be targeted at all, until the moment when the dinosaurs burst into the artillery position to attack, only one of the five reptiles was injured and stopped.
Just when the rear position was in a scuffle, she couldn't help but sweat for the front line.
The artillerymen may not have realized how much of a threat they posed to the devil.
In fact, she was the only one of those involved in the battle who witnessed the astonishing destruction of the fortress cannons - especially when the Devil hordes appeared on the surface, and the dense formation almost turned the battlefield eight kilometers away into a slaughter field.
Every time a cannonball falls into the army, it can lift a pillar of earth nearly ten meters high, and at the same time bring up a piece of stump and broken arm; The blasted rocks were enough to pierce the skin and bone armor of the enemy, not to mention the scattered shrapnel. The burly body of the mad demon became the best target in front of the stray arrows, and often after a bombardment, dozens of devils lay down around the crater, and the blood containing magical power soaked into the earth, like a blooming blue flower.
Only three salvos were fired to shake the enemy's position - and this was despite the occasional misuse of shells. Although the demons scattered after that, the roaring Grim Reaper still put them under great pressure, as evidenced by the speed at which they ran.
If it weren't for the interference of the dinosaurs, I'm afraid the enemy would have been completely defeated.
After that, although the artillery squad recovered some of the artillery, the accuracy and rate of fire were not as good as before, and the devil took this opportunity to advance quickly, and by the time the multi-mana source reaction appeared behind the position, the enemy army had approached a position two kilometers from the defensive line.
At this point, the front-line soldiers should be able to see with the naked eye the devil pouring out of the horizon.
Sylvi followed the pre-planned plan and sent a warning message to Savi, who was on the front line.
"The enemy is all within mortar range."
"Understood, I'll inform the command." The other party quickly replied, "By the way, how is the situation in the rear?" Haven't they dealt with the flying devils yet? ”
"Something went wrong...... Surprise," Sylvie hesitated, "but it shouldn't be a problem. ”
"If Andrea had been here, the fight would have ended a long time ago, right?"
"Hmm...... Perhaps, "In order not to worry Savi too much, she decided to hide what she was seeing. As she spoke, she suddenly noticed that the four creepers in the devil's army had stopped moving.
They spread their long legs and lay down one by one.
What is the other party trying to do?
Sylvie soon saw that the carapace on the monster's back opened to the sides, and out of it came a black crystal-like cylinder - it was about the thickness of a man, and its surface was covered with slime, as if it had grown out of flesh. Like the creeper itself, the long pillar is filled with veins and meridians, which expand and contract with the flow of magic.
The next moment, the magic vortex in the monster's body spun into action and burst into dazzling light.
In an instant, the black stone pillar seemed to be violently pushed out by a huge force, over the heads of many devils, and flew straight towards the north slope, its momentum was like a powerful crossbow magnified by a hundred times!
And the mortars of the First Army also roared at this time -
More than 100 cannonballs shot up into the sky, crossed a high parabola, and then, under the action of gravity, fell on the running devil.
For a moment, the cannonballs and stone pillars staggered, as if representing the power of the two races after a gap of four hundred years, once again colliding together.
"Savi, open your shield!" Sylvie shouted with all her might.
As soon as the words fell, the thick stone pillar flew above the defensive line.
Then with a flash of magic light, the entire pillar exploded, and the crystals burst into dense long needles, mixed with blue blood, and shot towards the soldiers waiting for the enemy below.
……
At the same time, there was silence on the artillery positions.
Agatha and the others took away the artillery near the giant beast as soon as possible, while the anti-aircraft machine gun team was fighting with the last few dinosaurs, and there were only more than a dozen witches left in the field, as well as high-level devils hidden under the armor.
The latter glanced coldly around the crowd, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, the sound of which even drowned out the roar of a machine gun in the distance—anyone could feel the anger in this whistling.
Then it stretched out its right hand and held it straight to the sky, only to see a ray of light leap out of its palm, instantly turning into a crackling long sword!
Then it raised its sword and slammed it at the nearby fortress cannon, and with a heart-pounding tearing sound, the steel-cast barrel was split in two, and its fracture took on a vivid red color as if it had been burned by the heat.
The Ice Witch couldn't help but hold her breath, it was clearly a weapon made of magic!
However, Zoe was unmoved, "What, are you dissatisfied with your opponent?" Came with the heart of fighting to the death, only to find that it was only a group of mortals who met him? She raised the corners of her mouth, her expression relaxed, and there was a hint of mockery in her tone, but there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes. Your biggest mistake is that you run away, and if you stay in the sky, you might be able to survive for a while. Now, you can get a good feel for what it's like to be angry for four hundred years, and as for your anger, it's not worth mentioning at all! ”
Although they couldn't communicate, their attitudes were unmistakable, and the devil roared and threw the magic sword in his hand—the latter shooting straight at Zoe like a dazzling thunderbolt!
And the two witches of divine punishment beside Zoe are close to her, and at the same time they unfold the "Divine Punishment Field"!
A strange force suddenly distorted the space around the witch, and the thunder seemed to crash into nothingness, and the dazzling light was swallowed up by the bottomless darkness, and disappeared without a trace in an instant!
The high-level devil couldn't help but freeze in place.
The rest of the Witches raised their large-caliber shotguns.
The sound of a storm of gunfire swept through the entire artillery position in the blink of an eye—a blue barrier of light erupted from the devil's body, but it quickly dimmed in less than a breath.
And the swarthy armor didn't make it survive the bombardment.
In the midst of the flying projectiles, the High Devil Statue was struck with hammer after hammer - its body was no better than a wanton twisted rag under the tremendous force of the impact, and by the time the gunfire had subsided, its internal organs and bones had turned into a mess of mud.
