Chapter 54: The Might of the Fortress (Part II)
On the wilderness, the beasts roared like the tide of the sea, rolling in.
The first to rush was the Shadow Leopard in the dark jungle.
These high-speed creatures, which once numbered only a hundred, put the Broken Blades in a bitter battle, are now thousands at once.
They ran like wolves, slamming into the front line of the beast tide as they let out a furious howl and charged towards the fortress with all their might.
When you first see them, they are just a vague shadow on the distant horizon, the second glance at them, they are already in full form, and the third glance at them, they are already rolling in the smoke and dust rushing forward.
A stone's throw away!
"Turn the muzzle of the cannon!" Bombard the beasts!" Shen Yi had already issued a loud order.
At this moment, he didn't have time to attack the flying giant ship.
The muzzles of all the batteries on the fortress were lowered and opened fire on the onrushing panthers, and all the Terminators raised their guns and fired at the front.
Thick pillars of fire erupted violently, smashing fiercely into the rushing leopards, blood and water splashing into the sky, and a terrible cry sounded among the leopards.
More than a dozen shadow leopards were beaten to powder under the powerful fire of the fortress cannons.
However, more Shadow Leopards entered a state of void in the impact, pulling out strange air ripples in the air and continuing to rush forward.
The artillery fire passed through their bodies and landed in the clearing, only to blow up clouds of smoke.
"Can't hit them!" cried Frost, who was in charge of coordinating the command.
"Turn on the fuel injection pipe and use the flame launcher!" Shen Yi had already shouted again.
The next moment, the walls of the fortress suddenly turned metal flaps, and thin black pipes protruded from them.
"Release!" Frost shouted, and a large amount of fuel was spewing out of the tube.
Immediately afterward, several soldiers stood on the city wall, holding flamethrowers and spewing flames below.
A sea of fire immediately erupted in the land beneath the fortress.
Although the Shadow Leopard's void can ignore artillery attacks, it has no effect on fire damage, and a large number of Shadow Leopards are burned at the same time, one by one, revealing their original forms in the flames, letting out a terrible and painful howl.
In order to make the Steel Fortress an existence that even a five-difficulty general can handle, of course, the fortress will not only have a cannon as a weapon.
In fact, both the fortress cannon and the energy cannon are only long-range fire systems, and in the medium and short range, the fortress has its own attack measures.
The flamethrower is one of them, and the raw material used is a large amount of diesel that Shen Yi brought from the home world.
But with the sea of fire rising, several immortal birds in the sky suddenly rushed down and hissed at the bottom, and then saw that a large area of flames had risen and rushed into the air, forming several fire dragons, which actually drilled into the mouths of those immortal birds.
Then the undead birds opened their mouths, and the flame dragon spewed out again, crashing into the fortress's energy shield, shaking the fortress with a strong light.
"Damn!" Shen Yi scolded.
Since he didn't expect the immortal bird to officially unite with Old Cato, this flame attack became a killing move borrowed by the other party, causing a lot of damage to the fortress energy shield.
Shen Yi hurriedly shouted: "Put away the fuel injection pipe and stop the flame launch." ”
All injection pipes are retracted at the same time.
Without the sea of fire to stop it, a large number of shadow leopards rushed forward unscrupulously, crashing into the fortress walls, once again stirring up pieces of flash.
Thousands of black shadow leopards rushed forward one after another, frantically attacking the energy shield with their sharp claws, and the resistance of the fortress's energy shield was almost visible to the naked eye.
"Boss, the energy shield is under attack!" Zhou Yiyu shouted hysterically, while the Vulcan Cannon in his hand kept spitting flames downward for a moment.
In fact, the members of the Broken Blade Team and the Dragon Tooth Team were not idle at this time, all the adventurers with long-range attacks were firing, and even Hong Lang King Kong and the others were also firing with a heavy cannon.
But there are so many of these shadow leopards that they can't be wiped out at all.
Shen Yi shot the moon in his hand, and at the same time turned around and shouted: "Old Meng, send your undead troops out to top it, don't let them attack the energy shield to their heart's content, King Kong, use the Death Ripple!"
"Understood!" In fact, without waiting for Shen Yi to speak, Lao Meng had already begun to send an undead army to rush out of the fortress and fight with those shadow leopards, and at the same time, a large number of terminators were also taking advantage of the height and energy shield to frantically pour fire below, and King Kong's Death Reaper Ripple was even more fully launched.
This time, those shadow leopards finally couldn't stop it.
One by one, the Shadow Leopard Fortress died under the powerful artillery fire and gentle King Kong group attacks, and the number became smaller and smaller.
However, at this moment, the roar of the beasts was heard again in the distance.
This time it's the Rampaging Dragon, a powerful land overlord-type ferocious beast.
They are not high-speed beasts, but their habitat is near the Immortal Peak, so after the call of the beast god of old Cato, the second group appeared on the wilderness battlefield. These creatures have thick skin and look like a ground-walking rhinoceros, clumsy and slow, but with the ability to accelerate short sprints.
But the worst thing is that they are extremely powerful, and they are natural destroyers of wall-type defenses, and if they are allowed to rush under the fortress, the damage to the energy shield will be far greater than that of the Shadow Leopard.
Seeing the appearance of the Tyrannical Dragon in the distance, Shen Yi's face also changed color slightly, and he pointed to the distance and said: "Gentle, Hong Lang, Li is tenacious, often drunk and always awake, you go to clean up the remaining shadow leopards, adjust the direction of all the artillery fire, and attack the Tyrannical Dragon!"
Gentle Honglang Li Jianren and the others had already jumped off the city wall, rushed out of the energy shield, and began to clean up the remaining shadow leopards, while the artillery fire of the fort adjusted its direction again and began to bombard the rampaging dragon in the distance.
This time, the fort played well, and those rampaging dragons did not have the strength of the shadow leopards, so they would inevitably pay a heavy price before rushing under the city walls.
However, at this moment, a new herd of beasts appeared in the distance.
Black-winged Bird, Earth Ape, Ice Bear, Dark Demon, Antika Ice Beast, Blood Eater Bee...... All kinds of fierce beasts rushed one after another, densely packed, overwhelmingly.
Seeing this scene, even the old Meng Honglang was completely stunned.
This old Cato of the dog, how many beasts did he summon to attack?
Shockingly, there are even fierce beasts with five difficulties among them.
A huge, six-clawed fire bull strode in from afar, and it looked like it was strolling on the edge of the fifth difficulty, but it was moved by the call of the beast god of old Cato, and crossed the border and strode towards the immortal peak.
―――――――――――
Those who have not experienced the beast tide will never know the horror of the beast tide.
Unlike the Yellow Springs Purgatory, the Wilderness is a true adventurer's land, and the power and terror of the beasts far surpass those of the Infernal Demons.
At least in the Yellow Springs Purgatory, you can still use the group killing ultimate to resist in the face of thousands of demons, but in the wilderness, there are almost no of these four-difficulty beasts with a vitality below 10,000.
And each beast has its own unique ability.
Not to mention that the ability of the Broken Blade Team has not yet reached the point where it can sweep through the wilderness, even an adventurer with the ability to sweep the wilderness cannot fight against such a huge number of large-scale beasts at the same time.
In the face of the beast tide, the so-called sweeping wilderness is just a joke.
Under the attack of the beast tide as vast as the sea, the suffocating firepower of the steel fortress also became small.
Often, one beast is crushed to pieces by artillery fire, but many more are already roaring past the corpses of their companions.
Crowded beneath the walls of the fortress, they attacked the energy shield with their heads, claws, teeth, and spews of fire, frost, and whatever means at their disposal, tearing apart all obstacles that stood in their way.
Even an existence like Megatron couldn't sustain even a minute in the face of this wild and violent beast tide attack.
He stood on the ramparts and fired desperately, while shouting, "Hell, I hate these beasts. But they're really powerful, oh my God, is that a mosquito? I shot it twelve times, twelve times to kill a mosquito. I can't imagine what kind of world we're in!"
In the days of following Shen Yi, because of the satellite Sky Eye, whenever there was danger, he could avoid it in advance, and he almost never encountered a situation that he could not match, so that Megatron had long regarded the legendary terrifying wilderness as his own playground, and never really cared about the horror of the wilderness.
However, it was only at this moment that he finally understood how important a satellite really was, and he could truly understand why adventurers would be afraid of this place.
At the same time, he finally understood why those former adventurers were willing to die and resist until the establishment of the Bloody City.
He finally understood that surviving such a tide of beasts was an extremely lucky thing in itself.
Even if it wasn't Megatron, it was Shen Yi and them who really understood the horror of the beast tide.
Only in this way can you understand how powerful old Cato really is.
He doesn't need to know anything, just with this ability to call the beast herd and create a beast tide, he will never lack a place in the entire world of Bloody City.
And in the sky at this moment, old Cato is still standing proudly.
Beside him, dozens of undead birds were flying up and down around him, one of them a particularly large one, hissing, as if stating something.
Old Cato smiled slightly: "Don't worry, don't worry." The energy shield hasn't been destroyed yet, so you can be patient. Wait for the herd to remove the energy shield, and then you attack. Noble as you are, do not die in such a attack, but learn to protect yourselves, for your sake and for us. ”
He whispered reassuringly.
The immortal bird hissed a few times, and finally stopped calling, and turned its vicious eyes to the fortress.
On the city wall, Zhou Yiyu sent a piece of news that couldn't be worse: "Boss, the energy shield has been seriously damaged, and it's almost gone!"
"Invest in the power stone restoration. ”
"It's being invested, but there aren't many energy stones, and it is estimated that it won't last long!"
Hearing this, Shen Yi quickly shouted to Lyle, "Lyle, how many high-explosives do we have left?"
"One hundred kilograms, sir!"
"Only so much?"
"Yes, sir, we didn't have much explosives on hand this time. ”
"Drop the explosives, Michelle, the fighters are dispatched, be careful, don't engage in air combat, carry out ground suppression, and drop the nuclear bomb on me!"
"Obey the order, sir!"
Seventeen space fighters began to take off from the fortress.
As soon as these fighters appeared, the yin and yang face immediately changed, and his face changed differently from ordinary people, but directly turned black to white, and white to black, and at the same time he had already shouted: "It's not good, Cato, there are nuclear bombs on that fighter, and they are going to drop nuclear bombs to attack the beast tide!"
The fierce beasts of the four difficulty levels generally have unique defense forces against strong lethal weapons such as nuclear bombs, but seventeen nuclear bombs are not a concept.
Of course, they didn't know that the space fighters didn't have so many nuclear bombs in reserve because they had fought once in the dark world, but even if only a few nuclear bombs were dropped, it would be a blow to the beast herd.
So at this moment, when he heard the yin and yang face say this, old Cato also changed slightly, and then he pointed to the fighters that flew out and shouted: "Go, shoot down those fighters!"
The flock of undead birds, who had been waiting impatiently, also raised their heads to the sky and let out joyful cheers, and flew towards those fighters together.
Shen Yi saw those immortal birds flying in, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and he scolded angrily: "This group of immortal birds, the Dain family slaughtered them and seized their bloodline, but they obeyed the command. I've only heard of such a cheap person, but I have never heard of such a cheap bird!"
But complaining is complaining, and the next moment he still shouted into the intercom: "Suspend bomb dropping, return immediately!"
These space fighters are valuable assets belonging to the Broken Blades, and they are so delicate that they cannot be repaired as easily as the Terminators if they are damaged.
"Wait a minute, sir, let me try!" Michelle replied, "I'm faster than the birds!"
"No, Michelle, you can't avoid them, they're more nimble than you!"
"Believe me, sir!" Michelle was already flying in the fighter plane, and behind him, the flock of undead birds was desperately pursuing, and the flames spewed out, and the fighters were like birds swimming in the flames, flashing left and right, while trying to find the fighter plane that launched the core.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yi gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted, "Open the silo and launch the flying axe!"
With Shen Yi's call, the covers of missile silos in the steel fortress opened, and missiles rose from the silos at the same time.
Because these missiles are brought out from the home world, their lethality is relatively low, but they are cheaper, have sufficient quantity, and have the function of automatic pursuit. As disposable consumables, they are actually more powerful than their counterparts.
At this moment, one after another missiles ignited and rose into the air at the same time, flying towards the flock of immortal birds.
Contrary to common imagination, missiles never need to hit absolutely when pursuing targets. They are characterized by area-of-effect lethality, so that a missile can explode within 50 meters of the target, and the shock wave is enough to destroy any warplane.
Of course, this convention will not take effect on the undead birds, but when the missiles explode in the group of undead birds, the powerful shock wave generated still makes these undead birds suffer a lot of shock, and a large area of impact energy ripples ripples in the sky layer after layer, and no matter what the power is, the scene is very spectacular.
At the same time, Michelle finally seized the opportunity, an air maneuver, aimed at the beasts below and pressed the button, a nuclear bomb has fallen towards the center of the beasts, and Michelle climbed rapidly towards the sky.
Rumble!
With a violent explosion, a mushroom cloud rose in front of the fortress, shaking the flying boat in the sky.
"It worked!" Michelle called out in surprise.
It was only when the clouds cleared that Michelle saw that the tide of beasts below was still there, and they were rushing and calling, looking up to the sky and calling angrily.
"Damn!" Michelle slapped her forehead in pain.
Although he knew that the lethality of nuclear bombs to these beasts was limited, Michelle was still extremely disappointed when he saw this scene.
At this moment, Shen Yi's voice suddenly sounded rapidly: "Michelle, jump!"
Completely instinctive, Michelle had launched a catapult and flew towards the sky.
At the moment when he flew away from the fighter, a fierce flame stream had swept the fighter plane throughout, and exploded in an instant, and the air wave hit Michelle and pushed him higher in the air again, if it weren't for the already strengthened body, he would definitely die in this moment.
However, the next moment, Michelle had seen an undead bird burning with flames appear in front of him, its fiery red eyes staring at him coldly.
"Oh, no......" Michelle let out a desperate groan.
The immortal bird opened its mouth wide at him, and a ferocious flame consumed him whole.
