Chapter 124: Despair and Hope Go Hand in Hand
Looking at the mechanical structures rushing towards them like a tsunami in all directions, the hearts of the people who were excited by David's destruction of the mechanical Titan that suddenly assembled and condensed on the battlefield, and who were reborn because of the sight of the city of glimmers, couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
What a terrifying amount this is, there is no end in sight, even if the Iron Legion that they destroyed by them with nearly half of the casualties seems to be just a drop in the ocean compared to the mechanical army that appeared at the end of the horizon at this moment, how can this not make people despair.
Even for the belief that David had always believed in before, there was a certain wavering.
At this distance, even if the City of Glimmer was willing to provide firepower, with their remaining forces, it would be impossible for them to break through the blockade in front of them and reach the City of Glimmer.
At this moment, although those armies were still far away from them, there were already many cruise missiles or anti-aircraft artillery shells.
The array where they were entangled with the remnants of the Legion was filled with fire and explosions, the insects were entangled with the machines, and even the Stingers were forced to rely on their two deformed-looking forelimbs to fight in close combat.
As the commander of the stinging snake, Anna's tail was blown off in a previous explosion, and now she can only crouch on Clovis's back, her bone spurs have been exhausted, and she can only spit out the most powerful high putrid acid, and Michau and Sam, who are closely guarding them, are also covered in bruises.
Especially Sam, who is a lurker, has almost half of his arthrops blown off.
Due to the rapid march, they were unable to sneak themselves into the ground, so the attack naturally lost its stealth, and the spinal needle lost at least sixty percent of its power without the help of the ground structure.
One of the biggest problems was that under the dense rain of bullets and artillery bombardment, their spinal needles were almost exhausted in the battle.
Originally, Sam had asked to stay several times, but Lily was noncommittal, but was vetoed by both Greya and David.
Grea was emotionally unable to let go of Uncle Sam, who had been with her for thousands of years, while David's veto was based on rational judgment.
Because that didn't have much effect, Sam was already seriously wounded, and the spinal needles were also depleted, even if he dived into the ground and destroyed thousands of mechanical bodies with all his might, compared to the enemy in front of him, it was really insignificant, and he could only die in vain.
On the contrary, if he can persist in the City of Glimmers, then his role will be earth-shattering.
But at this moment, apart from him and Lily, I'm afraid that no 'person' thinks that he will be able to reach the City of Glimmers alive.
In the team, Wren's figure kept shuttling through the Chinese army, looking for a temporarily safe place to take cover, while the guns in his hands kept spewing flames.
In this kind of battlefield where the enemy is almost everywhere, and there is no intelligence and only knows how to blindly charge, those enemies are almost all moving targets in his eyes, and his killing efficiency alone can even catch up with a reinforced platoon, and every shot is aimed at the energy core of those mechanical bodies, and a patrol fighter can be destroyed with one shot.
But then he found that there was little point in doing so, because no matter how fast he could kill the enemy, he couldn't keep up with the enemy's increase in troops, so he simply focused on rushing to the aid of friendly forces to reduce the speed of casualties.
Even he had a hard time thinking of the unintelligent bugs as allies, and even once saw them as moving cover and shields.
And once he couldn't hide in the ruins bunker in time because of an emergency, and when he saw that a high-explosive bomb was about to fall at his feet, a swift beast threw him to the ground, but half of his body was blown off, and his eyes were still clear and quiet before he died, just like a child who had just been born for a short time, just to complete the task given to him by his 'mother'...
At that moment, a very strange emotion suddenly appeared in Wren's heart, but his heart was slightly blocked, he stroked the fierce fangs of the swift beast, and then aimed the muzzle of the gun at his forehead.
With a dull thud, it ends its short life, otherwise it is likely to be judged alive by the mechs and suffer another salvo or explosion leaving no bones left.
At this time, even Edward, who had been staying in Grea's mouth, couldn't help but despair.
He could even feel Grea's weakness, even the already strong heartbeat became much weaker.
Only the Moon Pond Sakura beside him didn't seem to notice anything unusual, just like a classified mechanical turret, silently and silently continuing to fire.
But at this moment, no one flinched, and in fact they had no way out, showing an unprecedented will to fight to the death, which was completely different from the feeling of slaughtering compatriots on the continent of Garda just to please the audience.
This sudden war, when it comes to this, everyone understands that in the face of this terrifying military situation, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to escape a dead word.
Since death is already doomed, then at the last moment of your life, burn to your heart's content!
Maybe if they hold on a little longer, they can keep more enemies out for the leader, and the invincible leader may be able to escape into that city...
As long as the leader is alive, with his character and ability, he will definitely do something, and maybe he can avenge them...
However, at this moment, on the road leading to the City of Glimmer ahead, with the slope of the terrain, another huge mechanical army slowly emerged!
So, the last hope was also dashed...
But just when everyone thought they were going to die today.
At the end of the intersection of heaven and earth, above the city, a low thunder suddenly sounded like spring and summer.
However, they soon discover that it was just their delusion.
It was the chorus of thousands of cannon blasts that had been blown up, like a salute welcoming them.
The next moment, in the sight of those tide-like mechanical formations, countless dazzling explosions erupted at the same time.
The powerful cluster artillery support of the Glimmer City undoubtedly relieved the pressure on the heads of David and his party.
But although everyone was grateful, they still shook their heads in their hearts, in the face of such a huge army, even with the support of Shimmer City, with their remaining troops, it was still impossible to break through the blockade of the black tide-like mechanical army in front of them.
And at this moment, Lily suddenly exclaimed in the communication channel: "There is a high-energy polymerization reaction ahead!" ”
Just when everyone thought they were going to tell them to pay attention to avoidance, David pointed his sword at the approaching mechanical black tide and gave the opposite order:
"Charge! The whole army is rushing at full speed! Throw away the baggage, take turns to break, and don't get entangled with them anymore! Fast!!! ”
