Chapter 47: The Wasteland
"Are you really going to give up the planet?" Lockriel said as he watched the five-person team leave.
Although she is not a Hanina, the Clandis system and the Hanina system have been allies for many years, and she has a deep understanding of Hanina, a fighting nation, and the Hanina people are all brave warriors from emperors to civilians, and there has never been an example of an enemy fleeing, let alone abandoning the home planet.
Auston looked at the endless enemy ships from afar and sighed, "After receiving the report of the enemy attack on GY, the first thought in my mind was to evacuate as much as possible so that more people could survive. ”
"This is not in keeping with the traditions of your Haninas."
"Tradition... Sometimes it kills people. ”
The two of them continued to move forward, and the more they advanced forward, the more intensive the battle encountered, this was still the imperial city with the greatest control of their own side, and if they reached the wilderness outside the city, the situation could be imagined.
But so far I haven't seen any other class of GY, only that bulky metal ball machine.
As long as this slow-moving target finds its weak point, it naturally can't pose any threat to the old duo of Auston and Lockrael, let alone those annoying wheel-shaped machines.
Now that he knows that the enemy is destroying the road, Auston naturally will not turn a blind eye to the enemies along the way, he has a particle cannon in one hand and an assault rifle in the other, and he can always kill the target at the first moment when the enemy emerges, while Lockriel has been floating above Auston's head, she has a wide field of vision, acting as Auston's eyes.
"Weaving Feather" is a set of high-level combat uniforms in the Collandis Galaxy, and those who can be qualified to equip this semi-technical and semi-magical equipment are all high-level clergy like Locliel.
In addition to being able to greatly improve the wearer's mobility and mental power, the most important thing is that it has a magical elemental coordination ability, just like an energy converter, it can convert the energy of various attributes into electricity, flames, water flows, and even holy power! Not only can it form a variety of high-lethal magic attacks, but it can also be used to assist comrades-in-arms, which can be said to be a set of offensive and defensive artifacts!
The long feather skirt, each feather is equivalent to a highly concentrated battery, storing high-purity attribute-free energy, theoretically there is no upper limit, and how many feathers can be controlled depends entirely on the user's cultivation.
On the way out of the city, they encountered some entangled squads of guards, and after helping to dispel them, Auston also ordered them to assemble nearby and clear a way to retreat to the imperial city.
The enemy's offensive does not talk about any tactics at all, it is completely chaotic, these airdropped metal balls do not talk about any cooperation with each other, they fight separately, you open your way, I drive my road, densely packed everywhere, Hanina's garrison is tired of coping, and has to divide the troops in the division of troops, and also has to shoulder the task of covering the evacuation of the people.
"Your Hanina's emergency facilities are really good, I've come so far, I only saw the army but didn't find any refugees stranded on the road."
"That's because we're still in the city now, and the empire will allocate expansion funds every time to renovate the underground facilities, and there are so many entrances to the shelters around the imperial city that we can complete the evacuation of the people as soon as possible, but we're about to leave the city, and I just hope the situation outside the city isn't too bad."
Loclair was speechless, the ideas of the fighting people were really difficult to fathom, but the imperial city, as a symbol of political culture, was made like a military fortress, which really reflected their cultural beliefs.
After the two of them stepped out of the imperial city, the surrounding situation changed immediately.
Inside the city, although the enemy was teleported directly from an unguardable height, the situation in the city was barely in a state of stalemate, and the well-formed escort team could sometimes launch a wave of counterattacks to retake the lost blocks, but the outside of the city was already in shambles......
Without the intricate buildings in the city, the field of vision suddenly widened, at a glance, everywhere was the light of the sky, the fierce gunfire and shouts were endless, Auston could see no less than ten firefights at a glance, Hanina's guards engaged and retreated to fight their own battles, but they were surrounded by many civilians with the old and the young, the speed of the troops was greatly slowed down, those murderous wheeled machines were small and fast, and they had an environmental advantage in the dark night, and once they were killed and wounded at close range, it was inevitable.
Auston rushed down from the high ground with a blue face, like a killing god!
His heart was bleeding, and he fled from death, only to watch the once powerful Hanina being slaughtered like this!
How could he not be angry? How can you not hate?
Lockriel sighed and followed.
Auston changed the way of fighting just now, one hit kill, completely hard-hitting style of play, facing the enemy's artillery fire head-on, those metal bumps are thickly armored, but Auston's sword is sharper!
The generals in the army appeared on the front line, and the morale of the escort team immediately increased significantly!
Even if you can't cut your enemies in half with a single sword, you can still fly them out with brute force, and Loclair follows behind her, and the "weaving feathers" on her body change from the cyan state of wind coordination to the red of flame coordination! Every time Auston inflicted heavy damage on an enemy, a scorching stream of flames would roar along with the sound of a phoenix, and it would drill through the broken ground accurately!
In just ten minutes, the two of them roamed all over the field, and Auston was unstoppable, killing the enemies in the field of vision.
"You can't last long like this, and you can't change anything." Seeing that Auston had finally stopped, Lockriel said slowly.
The fiery red color of the "weaving feathers" on her body slowly faded and slowly turned milky white, and soft white air currents emanated from her body, enveloping Auston......
Auston was enveloped by the air current, his spirit soared, and the fatigue disappeared without a trace, he shook the long sword in his hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Aren't you still crazy with me?" ”
Lockriel smiled, and the white air flow slowly disappeared, but instead of answering, he said, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Auston looked back, and because of his strong cut, the pressure in the vicinity was much less, and the escort had evacuated to the city with the people.
But the road ahead is still a sea of fire!
"I don't know, I always feel that there must be some special reason for GY's abnormal behavior, maybe... Keep going on, and you can understand it when you go deep into their hinterland. ”
Lockrell frowned, "What basis do you have?" ”
Alston looked down, and the area was devastated by the metal bumps, and was littered with the magma formations they had left behind from their corrosion, like festering patches of scalded skin.
"Look at this, the purpose of these things is obviously to make the land look like this."
Auston carefully raised his leg and stepped on this corroded earth, this magma was soft and weak, like stepping on a ball of cotton, and his power armor immediately sounded the alarm!
"The heat... Corrode... Gas... There seems to be some radiation. ”
Auston retracted the foot he had stepped on, but for a short moment, the outer coating of his foot appeared black-brown scorch.
"Don't you think... They... Paving? Alston guessed.
Lockriel thought about it, it was really possible, but after thinking about it, it didn't make sense, if they really needed this kind of wasteland-like landform, their warships would stop overhead, and they would be able to fight wildly below, why bother to send that kind of round engineering machine to expand little by little?
"Either way, if you keep going, you might have the answer."
After the two of them left the city, they ran wildly towards the most densely populated area of the enemy, and when they met the remnants on the way, they would help, and Auston had the all-round assistance of Lockrell behind him, which was even more powerful, as long as he was careful not to plunge headlong into the place where the enemy army was too dense, he was simply invincible.
This walk is nearly a hundred miles, and then you will arrive at a medium-sized town closest to the imperial city, and Auston looks at it from a distance, and his heart is suddenly happy, the fortifications on the head of the city are still running! This place is still in your own hands and has not fallen!
"Let's go, let's go in and take a look, Parli City is an important armory, if we can completely control this place, the pressure on the base camp on the Imperial City side will be reduced a lot."
Without hesitation, the two of them headed for the city.
