A quarter of an hour later, another tank squad arrived in the area of engagement of the twelfth and ninth car groups.

"Amy, Poxanne, are you alright?" asked Effie aloud from afar.

Bosanne waved her hand to show that she was okay, and Amy exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you here? We've killed a big guy!"

"It's not that I heard the sound of artillery from here. Seeing that they were unharmed, Yi Fei was relieved. She jumped out of the tank, walked quickly over to the corpse of the monster that had been pierced by the grenade, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"It's supposed to be the nest mother, but seriously, I'm not so sure. Bosan muttered.

The previous shot was completely clean, not only stirring up its organs, but also blasting its head into the sky. Of course, whether the monster has a head or not is another matter—after all, according to common sense, creatures generally don't run backwards.

When it died, its magic dissipated, and its entire body collapsed in an instant, turning into the fleshy shape it is now, except for two rows of broken ribs that remained.

"Are you sure this is the nest mother?" Ifei pulled out the manual and frowned, "The skeleton is somewhat similar, but it is small and does not have many tentacles...... By the way, do you have the eyes inside it?"

One of the most striking features of the nest mother is its large compound eye, which is almost the same size as the nest mother's organs, located in the center of the body, and is almost impossible to miss.

Bosanne shook her head, "I'm guessing she's the nest mother, simply because it carries a lot of bladed beasts. As for the other details, I'm just as confused as you are. But......," she paused slightly, "not to mention the nest mother, none of the monsters here can match the manual legend." I don't believe you, look at the dead bladed beasts—"

Only then did Ifei notice that there was something strange about the bladed beast that had fallen in front of the nest mother, "This is ...... Wings?"

"That's right. "They look as thin and light as cicada wings, but they're much larger, and with these wings, they can even make long-range flutters, which has never been seen on blade beasts before." ”

"I can probably understand why the upper authorities are asking us to recover the samples of the Heavenly Sea Realm that are intact. Ifei pondered for a moment before exclaiming, "The speed at which they change is a little too amazing. ”

"That's something to think about above," Bosan climbed into the tank and gestured toward Iphibi, "and we—just have to destroy them." ”

......

Reports of the First Army's recapture of the ruins of Taqira were soon sent to Roland's office.

In this "urban warfare", the Beast is no longer the main antagonist. For the first time, the Heavenly Sea Realm appeared in groups, and most of them were extremely threatening blade beasts.

But compared to the previous time when one or two bladed beasts could render an army's defenses ineffective, this time the result was completely different.

The newly formed Panzer Corps played a decisive role in this battle, not only locking in the enemy's position, but also winning the vast majority of the battle. The First Army finally wiped out all the Tianhai Realm at a very small cost, and regained a foothold on the fertile plains. Among them, the No. 12 and No. 9 crews worked together to eliminate a nest mother and more than a dozen bladed beasts, and their own unscathed performance completely changed the military's opinion, in addition to stating the war, the rest of the report was all about applying for the production of more tanks, even if there were not enough witches, and ordinary non-commissioned officers could serve as commanders.

Obviously, they have fully tasted the sweetness of this kind of heavy equipment that integrates attack and defense.

Roland was not surprised by this result - the title of King of Land War was established in two world-scale wars, and tanks have been tested in every aspect. If it weren't for this, he would not have sent a group of personnel from the army to practice driving skills as early as the advent of tractors.

He was more concerned about the monster corpses that had been brought back by train than about this mature weapon.

By the afternoon, Agatha of the Magic Tower called and said that the autopsy had reached a preliminary conclusion.

......

Approaching the bottom floor of the magic tower, Roland suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in his face.

There was a pile of ice neatly placed in the huge basement, and he didn't know that he thought it was an ice storage, but he knew that those ice cubes contained samples of the Heavenly Sea Realm that had been brought back from the front line for the Witch Alliance to study.

In the center of the room was the dissection area, and Agatha took off her gloves and gave him a joint hand salute.

"You seem to be a little happy. Roland tightened his neckline.

"Because I can go back to my old ways. Agatha smiled, "To be honest, the cold laboratory is more suitable for me, representing Taqira on expeditions, attending political meetings, etc., is not what I am good at. ”

When it comes to the representation of the ancient witches, it is obvious that Pasha is the most suitable, but unfortunately the carrier is too inconvenient to move, so Agatha naturally becomes the second choice.

Looking at Roland's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, the Ice Witch took the initiative to wave her hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is prioritized by the battle of divine will, I still understand this." ”

He nodded, turning to the point, "So what did you find?"

"Your Majesty, please look here," Agatha condensed an ice blade from her fingertips and stabbed it into a large organ on the dissecting table, "This thing was taken from the new nest mother, and inside it, I found obvious signs of aging. And the same problem, I haven't seen in any of the bladed beasts. ”

"Aging?" Roland said, raising an eyebrow. He noticed that there were indeed large folds and dark spots where the ice blade was visible.

"That's right. Magic can strengthen the body of demon supporters, which has been verified by witches and demons, and the Heavenly Sea Realm should not be an exception. One of the most obvious features of this type of enhancement is the increased lifespan. "I've looked up the information provided by the devil, and it doesn't mention how long the nest mother can live, but it says that the bladed beasts and foot beasts don't live long, and even if they die, the nest mother can quickly hatch new beast species. ”

"What do you mean...... Now it's the other way around?" said the nightingale, "could it be that the nest mother itself is approaching its twilight years?"

"It's really hard to judge if there is only one, but I have found a similar situation with all four bodies brought back from the front, which is too coincidental. "And you've fought with Mother Nest and know how big they are—these monsters are less than ten meters long compared to their size. ”

"It seems to make sense. ”

"Besides, the thin wings they use to flutter and the growing scythe claws are contrary to their habits. She turned to look at Roland, "Your Majesty, I don't think this thing can swim in the sea as it used to." ”

"So what are your conclusions?" asked Roland with a solemn expression.

"I'm afraid the Hive Mother is transferring her magic to her minions in order to create a more powerful source of troops," Agatha said word for word, "but their evolutionary direction is contrary to the sea, and it can even be said that the future of the race is sacrificed. ”

Roland sighed, "But we're in trouble. ”8)
