Chapter 558: Defensive Position
"The Day of Judgment is coming! The saints and sinners will be numbered on the right and left! Are you ready for this day? Are you ready for this day?!"
In the faint hoarse singing, loud noises erupted again and again, and pillars of flame rose into the sky, as if the sword of judgment of the gods was thrown from the sky, setting off a rolling wave of air and roar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The flames soared.
Illuminated by the flaming emblem, the iron-clad priests stretched their fingers forward, and the demons who were screaming and singing in a frenzy rushed forward.
The original sick appearance disappeared, as if running to heaven, using both hands and feet, singing in ecstasy, the speed was incredible, but in an instant, he threw himself into the dark green group of water ghosts.
Then, holding on to the closest demon, the shell swelled suddenly, and the wounds that had been stitched up swelled and cracked, spewing out scorching light and flames.
The alchemy matrix implanted in the body was activated, frantically extracting the surrounding ether, exuding a terrifying heat, causing a vacuum of death, and in an instant, it exploded again, and the high pressure that exceeded the survival range was more than several times that swept in all directions.
Explode!
Flames, air pressure, and impact swept across the ground like iron ploughshares.
Each explosion left a large crater on the beach with a radius of tens of meters, and the terrifying shock wave blew all the way to the city walls, turning into a blazing foehn wind, blowing in the face.
Ye Qingxuan's hair was blown up by the scorching wind, and his dark pupils reflected the sacred and strange flames.
Stone raised his hand, lightly blocked a piece of minced meat that had fallen, and casually threw it under the city wall.
"You made demons into bombs?"
"Well, it's a very simple process. ”
Stone replied: "Anterior frontal lobe excision, brainwashing, removal of internal organs, implantation of self-destruct matrix, wound suturing, and another injection of antibiotics to prevent inflammation." Although the survival period is relatively short, it doesn't matter if you use it casually within seven days......
A skilled apprentice can complete it in just fifteen minutes, and it can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization, which can be called inexpensive. There were many other methods of such cruelty in the Inquisition.
After all, we used the Holy City license to recruit a large group of black musicians.
Merely...... Can Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor approve of such an unscrupulous style of conduct as ours?"
"Since it's a demon, it doesn't matter. ”
Ye Qingxuan glanced at him with a smile: "But it's better to pay attention, some people better not to make up their minds." In the future, such inconsequential temptations will be avoided. ”
Shi Dong bowed his head respectfully, glanced at the empty place behind Ye Qingxuan, and greeted with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, there was no shortage of members with demon blood in the Inquisition back then." ”
There seemed to be a cold snort in the air, and the cold feeling in the throat swept through and disappeared.
After a round of bombardment, the line of the water spirits rushing into the shallows had been shattered and looked riddled with holes, but the continuous explosions and deaths still did not make them retreat, but accelerated because of the vacant position in front of them.
"It's no longer a phalanx, it's an array of skirmishers—do demons know tactics too?"
Ye Qingxuan looked at the water ghosts who were irregular, rushing up under black pressure, and his brows were slightly raised: If you don't crowd together for a walk, the explosive lethality of the transformed demons will also begin to decay.
What's more, basically in just a few minutes, all the demons that have been transformed have been exhausted.
In a short period of time, there is no way for this convenient method to come in handy again.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Stone replied indifferently: "It's just a prelude, if you don't have a short fight, how can it be considered a war?"
The sound of iron armor grinding sounded from below the city.
It was the sound of the power armor activating and the array moving forward.
After the assembly was completed, the Witch's Hammer, who had been waiting for a long time, received the order, and the knights stepped onto the battlefield, and with the assistance of exoskeleton power armor, they rushed out of the city gate and broke into the demon line.
Under the illumination of the pillar of flames, the knights, who were more than two meters long and looked like iron giants, held tower shields and halberds, and their footsteps struck the ground, bursting out like a roar like drums.
"Heavily armored knight?"
Ye Qingxuan saw the comer clearly and couldn't help frowning.
Since the popularization of power armor a hundred years ago, the role of heavy cavalry on the battlefield has been replaced by heavy armor.
The heavy powered exoskeletons manned by the knights often serve as the most important charge on the battlefield - assembling the queue and cutting through the enemy line with their mobility and defense, creating a stage for the sword dancers and infantry to play their part.
At that time, the defeated enemy will be completely wiped out under the thunderous sweep.
But only if there are enough troops to sweep subsequently.
At this moment, when all available forces plus reserves and foreign aid were less than a thousand, it was pointless for the heavily armored knights to charge, and even if they crushed the enemy's array, they did not have the manpower to complete the next harvest.
Besides, the water ghost, a demon that goes crazy when it smells a person's breath, is not an army that loses all will once it is defeated, and no matter how much the battle loss ratio reaches, it will never be over until the last one dies.
If you rush into it, you will only be blocked by more and more water ghosts, and then consumed by the tactics of the sea of people.
Although it looks heroic and hot-blooded, it is actually just sending people to death.
As he watched in silence, sixty heavily armored Knights of Judgment had already entered the battlefield.
After rushing out of the city gates, instead of gathering in one place, they scattered.
According to their numbers and orders, they gathered under the six flames, guarding them with six clergymen in armor.
Immediately afterwards, the tower shield landed, the air pressure pump was started, and the fixed rivets were wedged into the stone and took root.
Under the mechanical push, the sharp iron nails in the tower shield are ejected, and the inner folding structure expands to the sides, riveting each other with the other tower shields.
Instead of charging, the six teams of Heavy Witches' Hammers surrounded the six clerics, but instead built a temporary fortress with their shields and their own weapons.
Six makeshift fortresses, the six support points, formed a standard defensive position at the very front of the demon front - to meet the onslaught.
Really, can it hold up?
There were many soldiers among the organists watching the battle on the city walls, almost all of them had battlefield experience, and some even carried out this tactic with their own hands, but at this moment they couldn't help but have deep doubts in their hearts.
There is nothing wrong with the construction of a temporary fortress in itself, and it can even be said to be a wise move, but its threat lies in the aether suppression formed by the intersection between the six fortresses.
It is like a nail in the throat of the enemy, and if it cannot be pulled out, there will be continuous pain and death.
But if you don't have enough attack power, then the defensive position is not a threat at all, but it is equivalent to six more obstacle terrains.
Even if you can't move, just bypass it.
Even a backhand fight is not difficult.
And above the fortress, Ye Qingxuan behind the wall battlement instantly understood.
"I see......"
He looked at the fortress atrium behind him, and his eyes were suddenly blank.
"Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor. Stone smiled, "It's clear about this kind of trick." ”
"I just read the spoilers in advance with the aether induction. Ye Qingxuan smiled, "But it is indeed a very effective way to deal with enemies like demons, and I have learned a lot." ”
Before the words fell, the scattered water ghost front had already collided with the defensive position.
Endless dark green surged in that chaotic array, and people were dizzy to watch, like waves, crashing into the fortress without hesitation.
It's like dark green waves crashing over a reef.
What was splashed was viscous blood and broken limbs.
Behind the tower shield, the heavily armored knights raised the red-hot halberd in their hands, like a hot knife cutting wax, and easily cut the bone shell of the water ghost, splitting the limbs into two pieces.
The dark green waves were split by the reef and converged again behind the fortress and rushed to the gates of the fortress.
The drawbacks are revealed.
If there are not enough attacks to destroy the influx of enemies, then there is no point in defending the position.
Behind the iron walls of the tower, among the guards of several heavily armored knights, the Purifiers once again raised their flames.
They said:
—The light of heaven descends here. ”
In the next moment, the trumpet sounded to herald the dawn.
"Night on the Barren Mountain"!
No one was more familiar with the aura of the melody than Ye Qingxuan, and in the inner courtyard of the fortress, the purification musicians standing on the alchemy matrix finished in tune with each other, playing in unison the magnificent symphony representing punishment and redemption.
The total number is forty.
Forty resonators are in tune with each other, and what bursts out is a uniform aetheric fluctuation.
At the top of the fortress, the pillar of flame spun wildly and soared into the sky, tearing through the black clouds in the sky, revealing a faint star.
The bonds of the Aetherless Sea were torn apart, the noise and clutter of the Nine Layers of the Aether Sea were temporarily dispelled, and the endless Aether turned into a tidal wave, falling from the sky and pouring into the Matrix.
And in the center of the matrix, the alloy burned at the stake with blazing light, harnessing the roar of the horn and the sonorous melody, spewing flames and soaring into the sky!
In just a few snaps of his fingers, thirteen metal burners flew into the sky.
They glowed like a scorching sun, breaking through the limits of wind and rain, tearing through the hurricane and rising to the very top of the sky in a roaring melody.
Like the burning stars in a dull night.
Immediately after, under the guidance of the flaming banner held high by the clergy, they smashed to the ground!
The loud sound of breaking the sky turned into the rhythm of the melody, and in the piercing scream that tore through the air, it set off layer after layer of air waves, like a burning meteorite.
Falling from the sky!(To be continued.) )
