Chapter 9: Before God's Gate
January 22, 2102, Eagle County, Samavo Desert.
The Empire has amassed more forces in the Middle East than in Northern Europe, and has deployed a large number of surface-to-air forces in the desert to try to intercept the Ark. In terms of air force, a Noah-class floating carrier was also sent to confront it, and more than 50 fighter jets were also sent to help.
The exchange of fire had been more than four hours, and most of the attacks on the air artillery and missiles had been intercepted by the Ark's defenses, and the rest was within the armoured range. However, the Empire's "Primordial Dust" mothership and the fighter group that supported it constituted a very troublesome air barrier, and the Ark had to stop its advance. The situation of the ground troops at the forefront of the emperor was not optimistic, and they were either directly eliminated or withdrawn under the suppression of firepower, and the two sides immediately entered a short period of recuperation.
"This is the largest resistance since Istanbul so far. Legion Commander Jacob stood on the bridge, looking at the data coming from the screen, his tone tepid.
Jacob has an inch head, a burly body, strong bones, and that head is even rougher than a blood owl, and it is a fight with the King Kong on the front line of Zì Yóu.
"No, it should be more troublesome here. Lawrence, the chief of the knights, stood beside him and said, this guy doesn't look like a good fighter, with a slender figure, long hair, clear eyebrows, and a few women's yīn softness, sure enough, in the position of "chief", it is easier to have a sissy, "Although the Mediterranean defense line has depth, it is only a defense line, except for the land passage." There was also a need to take into account the maritime defense of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and the naval base there in Cyprus had to defend not only against Europe, but also against the invasion of the Yanwu coalition from North Africa, so it did not send all the air strike forces to stop us.
But here. We should be facing the entire interior of Eagle County, and even some of the troops from Jujube County will come over. I think this battle will have to be fought for at least a few days. ”
"How many days?" Jacob glanced at him, "The place designated by the Grand Master is close at hand, and we have already exceeded the time limit for us to reach our destination, where are the days coming?"
Hearing this, Lawrence was silent for a moment before replying: "There is no doubt about the defensive capability of the Ark, but the maneuvering and attacking capabilities are not necessarily stronger than the other party's mothership. Moreover, the other side also has ground troops and fighter groups to help, and the possibility of rushing through is very low. ”
"I know. Jacob said, "So what I mean is that you go and blow up the other party's mothership from the inside so that the ark can move on." ”
"Hmph...... Are all the people you can do as the other party are dead?" Lawrence replied with a sneer, "Otherwise. You go first to lure the snake out of the hole, and I can take advantage of the void to enter. ”
"I'm not kidding, man. The time limit set by the Grand Master is not just a casual one, and if we want to pursue it, we are already derelict in our duty at this moment. Jacob did look serious: "And...... I think Grand Master personally led the Ark on the expedition this time. There is a lot of article behind it, I don't know what he saw on the Sky Codex...... What is there in this desert that is worth transferring us and many of our Heroes from the battlefield of Twin Eagle County?
to the previous situation. In a month at most, Twin Eagle County will be taken by us. And now. All of Jīng's combat power was collected by the Ark, who could still confront Tianwei in Shuangying County? There would be no further control of the city, and the supply lines would eventually drag down our fronts in Asia. ”
Lawrence replied, "Are you saying that the Grand Master made a mistake?"
Of course, Jacob would not say this: "No, I mean, the Grand Master would rather abandon the crucial battle situation in Twin Eagle County than go to this desert, which means that there must be something more important here, and if we are blocked by the opposing army's troops in front of our destination, it will be difficult to advance for several days, does it seem too incompetent." ”
Lawrence smiled: "I'm still the same sentence, let's go together, let one person get the other party's floating carrier?hehe...... Even if you change to those few heavenly guards who have not reached the mad level, you don't dare to say that you are very sure?"
Jacob preached, "If I had your ability, I would have gone long ago." He paused: "But that's okay, just as you said, I'll also go outside and say hello to the emperor **, the other party will definitely send capable people out to fight, just look at how many masters there are on the other side." And you take this opportunity to try to infiltrate the opponent's mothership and blow it up. ”
"It's too much trouble. A familiar voice sounded from behind them.
The expressions on their faces were shocked.
Cesare Barmond appeared on the bridge, his face very strange, it could be said that he was unscrupulous, and the man who had once stood up to the sky without anger and self-esteem now looked like a demon who had come out of purgatory. No one knows what kind of torture his jīng god world is going through, sleep deprivation can be one of the most terrible punishments in the world, and when a person has been wandering between nightmares and waking for so long, he can still distinguish the difference between the two worlds and retain his sanity, which is enough to show how strong his heart is.
"I'm running out of time. Balmond said, "This mortal body needs to be sublimated...... in order to become a body that is enough to withstand god-level abilities. He stepped forward step by step and took a cursory look at the data on the screen: "I am suffering as you entangle with the ants that are trying to hinder me......"
"Your Excellency...... The subordinates ......" Jacob and Lawrence's faces turned white in an instant, and they wanted to say something like asking for forgiveness.
"Needless to say. Bamond interrupted them: "Let me go and open up the ...... with my own hands The road ahead. ”
............
Raw dust, bridge.
"Sir, a reconnaissance plane in front of us was shot down thirty seconds ago, and this is the last image that came out. A communications soldier reported back.
Looking at the freeze-frame photo on the main screen, the commander of the ship frowned and said, "Is that a figure?"
"Sir, something is approaching, faster than Mach two!" another piece of bad news.
Switch to the screen. The commander said, then turned his head and picked up the communicator: "Attention units." The opponent may have a high-level ability to come, and all the personnel are ready to fight......"
Before he could say the word ready, he suddenly rushed forward and fell out.
Visible on the outside of the original dust. The entire Noah-class mothership tilted in the air, as if pulled by an invisible force.
"What's going on? engine failure?" the commander gripped the metal railing beside him, and barely stood up.
"Sir!"
The people on the bridge raised their heads one after another, and through the glass in front of them, they saw that outside the mothership, a man in a white coat of steel precepts was floating in the air, clenching his right fist. Make a fist yù swing. He just made this elbow curling fist, and with the pull of his energy, a Noah-class mothership tilted.
"What is this for...... Does he want to break the armor plate with his bare hands and rush in?" exclaimed the commander.
The raw dust is not all net alloy armor, but the key parts are basically the same. The bridge is too, and whether it is net alloy armor or not, all armor is very thick, flesh and blood, even if it is a fierce ability. Even if his ability is ** strengthened, he may not be able to penetrate the armor plate with one punch. Taking a step back, even if this person is very skilled in using his energy, he has penetrated the armor plate. It's just a hole in the huge mothership with a diameter of less than two meters. So at the moment. The commander of the ship was not only surprised by the behavior of the figure outside, but also puzzled.
Strength. That's the full picture of Cesare Barmond's abilities. When he reaches the mad level, the power can spread in the form he needs, concentrate, and even run according to a specific trajectory, all of which will be complicated to say, but when you put it in front of you, you can know how terrifying this ability is in the hands of an ability at the apex of the mad level.
He swung his fist, and his fist did not touch the original dust at all, and it was still far away. It was as if an invisible giant fist appeared in the air and bombarded Yuan Chen's hull.
A semicircular crater burst open at the point of impact, and a quarter of the Noah-class mothership's hull shattered in an instant, scattering like dust. Next, the semicircular damage began to expand, the huge energy continued to push and crush in waves, and the hull began to fall apart, from the point where it was hit, it began to collapse rapidly, until the whole body broke in two, the erosion of "power" was still not exhausted, and the cracks were spreading on the large armor plates. The power room soon exploded, and the hull of the ship collapsed further, breaking into several large parts and beginning to fall.
The soldiers and officers inside the original dust, whether they were capable, transformers, or ordinary people, were like they were in the most terrible nightmare, and they couldn't imagine that the Noah-class mothership had been shot down in the time when it was too late to respond. Not only did the berserk force destroy the ship, but many unlucky people were instantly torn to pieces and blood splattered on the spot when they were touched by the excess energy of the scurry, while those who did not die immediately fell from a high altitude into the desert below, smashing on the supply troops and high-gun groups on the ground. Even if the ability and the transformer were lucky enough not to lose their breath after falling from the sky, and then they had to face the fragments of the mothership that also fell from the sky, it can be said that the chances of survival are slim.
Cesare Barmond's surprise attack was a huge shock to his enemies and men, and he was like a god, a groundbreaking punch comparable to an earthquake, a tsunami, or even a meteorite impact.
After the incident, the soldiers who were standing in the distance to witness the scene stood still for a long time, unable to believe what they were seeing. Because of the distance, they couldn't see Cesare Bamond, but they could see the collapse and fall of the mothership, many people with their heads in their hands, everyone's eyes widened, they couldn't understand why the mothership was falling, there were no signs of missiles flying, no guns were fired, there were not many explosions in the air, and it could not be a nuclear bomb...... Why? What shot down the dust?
............
The border of Date Palm, desert area.
It's about a day's journey from the battlefield where the dust fell.
EAS also went out this time, leaving only a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals and non-combatants in the headquarters, and they were basically ready to pack up their things and run away, and those who could take the table to fight, including the director Tang Xian, all went on the road to march, followed a defense force in Zaoye County, and drove to the battlefield on the side of Eagle County.
At the end of the troops, there were five mobile fortresses. Like the troops of the Iron Commandment, the Emperor ** also has a logistics mecha similar to the "Dragon Tortoise" - "Elephant Castle", with high armor and low mobility. Functions similarly to the dragon tortoise. The personnel inside the Elephant Fort can hardly feel the bumps in the march, which is also considered to be the treatment of leaders and logistics personnel.
"Why is the coffee you brew so bad?" sat lazily on the sofa chair, the office inside the Elephant Castle was also the privilege of the Tianwei, and her other privilege was to call the waiter to drink as a servant.
"Maybe it's because I like to spit in it. Shi Shi stood there in a standard resting position, and if it weren't for his uniform, others might have thought he was a servant.
Changying knew that Shi Shi was not such a tasteless person, and he must be joking. So she followed the other party's words as usual: "Isn't it just saliva, the chemical composition of saliva between people is the same, and it won't kill people if you swallow it." ”
"Then don't let me make coffee next time, let me give you a cup of saliva. The waiter said.
"It's a hassle to use a cup. It's not in line with your time-saving style. Changying smiled: "It's not as good as you......"
"This set...... Didn't you have enough fun when you were locked up in the little dark room?" said the waiter.
"Because I've found this set to be effective in shutting you up and stopping arguments. Changying replied: "To be honest, big hero, you may be a bachelor for the rest of your life." "Since the time of the fight was honored as a hero. As soon as Changying met him, he repeatedly used this title in a mocking tone.
"It's really convincing for a woman who hasn't married at the age of 30 to give me this kind of advice. The waiter sneered.
When these two get together, it seems that the poisonous tongue genus xìng will both erupt, and there will always be endless quarrels.
Then. The walkie-talkie rang next to the electronic door, and a soldier reported outside: "Sir. There was an emergency, and Chief Tang asked the two of you to go for a while. ”
"Got it. Changying pressed the reply button on the table. Speak back into the communicator.
Shi Shi thought for two seconds: "Do you want to bet?"
"Okay. Changying replied.
They almost said in unison, "Bad news, I guess!"
A second later, he said at the same time at a very fast pace: "I chose it first!"
Shi Shi shrugged: "Forget it, it seems that there is nothing to gamble on." ”
Five minutes later, the two of them came to Tang Xian's headquarters, where there were already many capable people, and when they walked in, Tang Xian said, "Before I talk about things, let's take a look at this ......."
He activated the display screen behind him, and in the picture, it was the Noah-class floating carrier that was fighting in Eagle County, Yuan Chen.
"This is a picture from the ground forces at the front twenty minutes ago. As Tang Xian spoke, the original dust in the picture tilted, and within a few seconds, the scene of being shot down was staged in front of everyone's eyes.
"I'm sure you've got it all in your hearts. Tang Xian looked at the "masters" in this room, some of them showed surprise, some of them looked solemn, and some of them stood there stupidly, dumbfounded: "This is obviously done by the powerful, and in the ark of the Iron Commandment, there is only one person who can do this, Cesare Bamond." ”
"Old man, you're not good for morale. Shi Shi interjected: "Show us such a terrifying picture, let us all be ready to die, right?"
This thing actually said it clearly, which made Tang Xian quite embarrassed, but from another point of view, it was okay: "You are all your own people, I might as well say it bluntly, if you are facing that kind of monster head-on...... The results are obvious, but in their position, in their own right, since our mission is to stop the Resistance's advance, we must be prepared to sacrifice. ”
And what he means by this nonsense now is that if you have any last words, take advantage of the last 20 hours or so to leave them. The waiter continued: "He will definitely help you convey the last letter home." ”
"What kind of translator are you kid for me at this time?" Tang Xian's face sank, not that he was personally unhappy, but that the words of the waiter obviously made the mood of the people around him become very heavy, which really hit morale.
"I already know the situation, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, Director Tang. Changying is still very good at being a person, and after she finished speaking, she dragged Shi Shi's arm out and left the oppressive room.
The two walked in the corridor for a while before she said coldly: "You have nothing to worry about, you regard death as home, that's your zì yóu, but can you consider the feelings of others? Don't say anything?"
"What do you expect me to say after seeing that sight?" the waiter asked rhetorically, "Is it...... You'll all survive, the other side is vulnerable, and everyone will easily go to the battlefield. He snorted coldly: "You think they're all stupid?"
"They are not stupid, they just know how to be sophisticated, they know how to cherish their lives, unlike some people, that is really stupid. Changying replied.
"Me?" the waiter suddenly asked, "Huh...... I don't know if the coffee I brew tastes good?"
This seemingly unrelated question made Changying speechless for a long time: "Okay, you know everything, just I'm a wicked person, so I call you to serve tea and water, make beds and fold quilts, and try my best to make things difficult for you, so that you can do some errands that recruits don't do, I ......"
"Sir. The waiter stopped and interrupted her with a title he never used before: "I know you're scared, you think it's your duty to deal with Cesare Bamond, you think you're going to die, so you're talking nonsense right now." ”
Changying didn't deny it, but she didn't say anything, just looked back and saw what he would say.
"No one knows what the outcome will be if it hasn't happened yet, so please don't be like a woman and lose your temper in the face of pressure. The waiter said.
"Hmph......" Changying smiled, she was obviously a woman, but Shi Shi said such things, as if she didn't even have the power to vent her emotions, she took a long breath: "Then I thank you for this, big hero." (To be continued.) )
