The atmosphere in Kawagoe City is as heavy and solemn as it has ever been in other cities around the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info pedestrians are in a hurry, and the streets are empty. Except for those who were born optimists, everyone tensed their nerves, and their weapons never left their side.

The whole city seems to be preparing for a big war.

That's right, Kawagoe City, and everyone inside, is indeed preparing for a big war, a big war in which people will inevitably die and die.

It's just that everyone in Kawagoe City didn't expect that when the end of the month is coming, the monsters in the dungeon and the monsters in the forest are stupid ~ stupid ~ want to move, a big battle that will determine everyone's life and death has quietly started without everyone knowing.

Located directly above Kawagoe City, the 30,000-meter-high T.P.H.E. working platform temporarily gave up the three-sided surveillance of Kawagoe City and the surrounding forests, but tilted at a large angle as a whole, and then opened the universal transmission channel that was once used to launch beacons at the bottom again.

After reconfirming the instructions it had received, the platform immediately began to calculate the deviation, fine-tuned it, aimed and locked on to the predetermined location, and then fired the loaded "ammunition" out of the launch channel~.

Unlike previous beacons, this time the "munition" is not a probe, but a cylinder with a cone in the head, just like conventional munitions.

And not only one, after firing the first "ammunition", the working platform immediately adjusted slightly, aimed at the location next to the previously scheduled location, and fired another "ammunition" of the same kind. The process was then repeated, and all such "munitions" stored in his body were fired.

Not only did the work platform located over Kawagoe City launch all of its own inventory, but the work platform that was carrying out the orders of Yukikaze and the others, all the way east to find the enemy's lair, also launched all the same kind of "ammunition" stocks inside itself to the designated location where it was assigned.

If you look closely at the landing points of all these "ammunition", you will find that the weaknesses of these "ammunition" are connected in a straight line, and they are fiercely drawn in the forest to the east outside Kawagoe City.

Probably because of the existence of the magic array, these "ammunition" did not make any sound when they flew in the air. After drawing a graceful arc in the air, the first "ammunition" was about to fall to its intended location, but this "ammunition" did not look like a brother who looked like him, smashed straight to the ground, and then smashed a big hole. Instead, not far from the ground, he suddenly opened the conical head in front of him, like a blooming flower, revealing the precise magic array hidden inside.

Under the effect of this precision magic array, this "ammunition" adjusted its position slightly, and then landed lightly on the ground, while maintaining an upright posture.

This is certainly not a coincidence, but deliberate. Because in the next moment, the cylindrical body, or shell, of this "ammunition" was peeled away in six equal parts, revealing a small cylinder carved with runes and lines inside. At this time, there was a faint light running on these runes and lines. It seems that the "ammunition" has been activated just before it is fired.

Before, when flying in the air, there was no sound, and it was because of this.

On the fallen parts, you can even see these runes and lines that radiate a flowing light. If you have a good knowledge of runes and circles, you will find that this is actually a complete circle: a circle that combines "mute" and "illusion"!

That's right, this "ammunition" is an acousto-optic shielding system!

When all the ammo fell and unfolded, the glow that flowed on the runes and lines inside all the "ammo" seemed to be a little more obvious. At the same time, a faint, imperceptible film seemed to rise from the ground, blocking everything out.

These landing sites were connected in a straight line of the same "ammunition" to form a special Great Wall, or barrier. The coming battle was blocked on one side of the line, so that the city of Kawagoe on the other side could not perceive what was happening on this side.

"All sound and light shielding bombs have been fired! Drop point location confirmed! The error is within the allowable range! All sound and light blocking bullet links confirmed! Start resonating! The effect of the sound and light shielding tape is confirmed! Good health! ”

"Sound and light shielding system, officially launched!"

Seriously, unless the entire battlefield is arranged into a huge silent circle, it will be difficult not to let everyone in Kawagoe City find out about the situation here. After all, Xue Feng and the others will inevitably smash in an unknown number of heavy weapons and various shells in the next battle, and the sound and performance of these big guys in unison are estimated to be absolutely not small. Even if there is a distance barrier, even if the people in Kawagoe City have not been promoted, they can clearly see and hear.

How to make it impossible for the people of Kawagoe City to discover the great war that broke out here? There are probably only three ways to do this.

The first is to divert the enemy and re-select the battlefield. While it seems most likely, it's also the least likely. Not to mention whether these monsters are guided or not, the various noises made during the guidance process alone are probably enough to make this method useless.

The second is to arrange the entire battlefield into a huge silent circle. How likely this approach is, everyone must be clear. Unless this war was provoked by Xue Feng and others, or if this war would last for a long time, there was no need to think much about this method.

The last way is to erect a huge barrier of silence and illusion between the two. Although in an open area, erecting a wall will not do much to transmit sound. But the most important thing is that the principle of the silent array used by Xue Feng and the others is not to reflect sound, but to absorb sound!

That is to say, after the current sound and light shielding system is deployed, the sound on both sides can shoot ~ into this barrier without hindrance, but when rushing out, the sound of 100 decibels is probably only 1 decibel left.

Although there will still be sounds, with the addition of distance, basically no one in Kawagoe City will hear this sound. Hawkers,Some people with extremely sensitive hearing can probably still hear a little.,But that's okay anymore.,After all, auditory hallucinations or something.,It's still a good excuse.。

Even the sound is blocked, then the light and shadow will be easier, and the illusion circle can solve all your problems.

After the entire inventory of the two working platforms was released, a sound and light shielding belt with a length of nearly 15 kilometers was formed. Although the two can go up to twenty kilometers together, fifteen kilometers is enough, and in thin cases, there is a high chance that some accidents will happen.

And in front of the sound and light shield, that is, on the side facing the battlefield, thousands of bipedal walkers have arrived and begun to line up neatly. However, at the nearby underground exit, there still seemed to be countless bipedal walkers walking slowly and quickly onto the surface and joining the queue.

That's right, these bipedal walkers, who arrive at the target location through underground passages, rather than through space jumps, naturally cannot be the main force of the next big battle.

Looking at the long-range artillery warfare equipment they are equipped with, it is clear that they are identified.

They are the artillery units that were arranged by Xuefeng to set up shelling positions on the fourth cordon!

And here, it is also located in the primeval forest outside Kawagoe City, marked by the fourth cordon marked by the underground armed fortress established by Yukikaze and others!

As an audible and optic shielding system that shields all the sound and light of this battle, it is naturally necessary to be located in the rear of the artillery positions in the back row.

Soon after the acousto-optic shielding system was activated and the shield was officially established, the last bipedal walker of the artillery unit finally stepped onto the surface and stood in the middle of the queue. Because no one can approach this place except Yukikaze and the others, and nothing can see this scene from the sky through the dense woods.

Therefore, no one knows and feels the magnificent sight of more than 1,200 bipedal walkers lined up neatly, and the majestic momentum that was born with it.

This was followed by the complete closure of the underground entrance, and a series of measures were immediately implemented, completely covering the entrance, as if nothing had ever happened here. As cannon fodder, unless the space jumping device is damaged and the battlefield needs immediate support, all the bipedal walkers here will be killed, and this entrance and exit will definitely not be opened again.

And after all the bipedal walkers were in place, these bipedal walkers, who formed the shelling position, leaned back one after another, so that the angle between their big and long legs, which also had the size of the ~ leg ~ was close to a 90-degree right angle.

At this angle, the bipedal walker is naturally unable to maintain his balance and falls to the ground in the back of his head. But don't worry, a bipedal walker who has been specially designed for this purpose will not fall down so easily. There are only three places where this state will occur: one is the most intense battlefield, one is a comedy for hilariousness, and the rest is naturally a testing ground for research.

As the legs bend and the back of the bipedal walker's head begins to approach the ground, the weapon platform protrudes several brackets backwards. When the legs are bent to nearly 90 degrees, these braces are also firmly supported on the ground, firmly holding themselves and the bipedal walker in place.

Then, on the platform where the bipedal walker was mounted, the large-caliber heavy cannon used for artillery bombardment also began to adjust its position and orientation.

Speaking of which, the bipedal walkers, equipped with artillery warfare equipment, are armed with a rather rudimentary level of violence compared to their companions. In addition to the two machine guns, which are quite small in terms of ammunition reserves and caliber size for self-defense, there is only one long large-caliber heavy gun.

After all, even if the bipedal walker is far more armed than a small pickup, whether it is the recoil of large-caliber heavy artillery during shelling, or the large-caliber ammunition required by heavy artillery, it is the limit for a bipedal walker to carry a heavy cannon.

And even with only one cannon, it still has the disadvantage of the short duration of the other bipedal walkers. The shells required for large-caliber heavy artillery, neither in size nor in weight, could not allow a bipedal walker to carry more.

What's even more troublesome is that even if it is used for artillery warfare, the specially adjusted bipedal walker has a fairly low hit accuracy. Without him, the recoil is too strong.

Of course, because they were made with a fully formed corps, the more than 1,200 bipedal walkers on this shelling position were not equipped with the same type and caliber of large-caliber heavy artillery, and the ammunition they carried was not the same.

However, the shortcomings mentioned above are completely irrelevant at this time, because in this kind of 10,000-person level war, there is no need for accurate shelling at all, and there is no need for any special caliber and type, it is enough to send all the shells that can blow up the enemy to a general range.

And even if our side is a modern unit that attaches great importance to long-distance warfare, the enemy is not. Coupled with the extremely strong weakening effect of various attacks and the strong vitality and physical fitness of the enemy who are now facing the group, the time that can be shelled from the time the enemy enters the maximum range can be said to be extremely limited.

After our troops are mixed with the enemy, unless Yukikaze intends to sacrifice this force in exchange for greater results, the bipedal walkers located here in the shelling position will be completely destroyed.

"The shelling units have all entered the shelling positions! All the shelling is ready! Goal Lock Complete! The final adjustment before the shelling is complete! Shelling is ready at any time! ”

At the same time, a beacon shot out from another working platform that had been urgently mobilized for this battle~, and was directly inserted in front of the group of thousands of monsters that were wrapped in invisible black fog and were heading straight in the direction of Kawagoe City, in the edge of the primeval forest on the outskirts of Kawagoe City.

With the flashing of the beacon's head light, detailed information about the place was relayed back to the fortress through the communication network.

"Beacon Shot ~ Out! Drop point confirmed! Data feedback confirmed! Space Jump Device Activated! Coordinates and locations are entered! The space passage is open! All sorties start jumping! ”

Located in the armed fortress under Kawagoe City, a huge army led by two knight apprentices lined up in a neat queue and slowly walked towards the attack tunnel, that is, the huge ring of the space jumping device, without the slightest error.

In the flickering blue light, rows of troops, without the slightest delay, passed through the space jumping device that had been adjusted again by the snow wind, and still arrived at the destination in a neat line.

And in front of this huge one, the monsters have already arrived in the horizon with a cloud of dust, and will soon encounter this army head-on.

An atmosphere of slaughter has risen in this area that is about to become a battlefield.

"The space jump of all troops is complete! The target line has been reached! The enemy has already entered the maximum range of the shelling troops! There are still three minutes left to contact our troops! ”

"Shelling troops, salvo!"

Along with the shelling position on the fourth cordon, a deafening symphony of combinations sounded, and at the same time that all the branches and leaves of the trees on this position were blown away, a neat firelight flashed, and the cannonballs like dense rain crossed the high parabola in the sky, with the screams of death, and smashed into the running monster group.

At this point, the battle begins! (To be continued.) )
