Chapter 30: The Reappearance of a Living Meteorite

The whole morning was spent constantly inspecting the front line, stabilizing the morale of the army, holding back the Imperial troops, and dodging the shelling of the enemy fleet.

The defenders had already suffered more than half of the casualties, but fortunately Kimchi's operation did not collapse.

By noon, after simply eating some dry food and drinking a bowl of Hecehia's heated soup, Kimchi could no longer hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep.

Hecehijah could not command the army, so he had to guard the headquarters from being buried by artillery fire, and by the way, he helped to support the defense line with alchemical heavy artillery.

After an afternoon, the number of defenders fell to about four hundred, and after Kimchi woke up, while the sky had not completely darkened, he inspected the front line again, stabilizing the morale of the army and letting Hessehia help consolidate the broken defense line with the alchemy matrix.

The Imperial Landing Force has begun to reinforce and harden the sandy beach area of the landing strip in preparation for the subsequent landing of medium-type weapons.

Now the only thing that can wreak havoc on the enemy's landing ground is the Alchemy Heavy Cannon controlled by Hecehia. The ammunition of the defenders' artillery was depleted.

The next morning, the alchemy heavy artillery, which had been used continuously and intensively for a night, was overwhelmed even after countless emergency repairs and was completely scrapped.

However, its sacrifice is still worth it, at least the Imperial Landing Force was not able to complete the transformation of the landing zone yesterday, which means that there will be no medium and heavy weapons involved in the battle today.

After two days and two nights, the defenders of Kings Island only need to hold out until dawn tomorrow, even if they have completed their defensive mission.

But will they be able to hold out until tomorrow? Kimchi didn't hope much about it.

Rear intelligence shows that although the South Loya Empire did not dispatch a large-scale air force, there were still carrier-based aircraft, and each warship had two or three carrier-based aircraft, and these fighters together were a combat group.

The transport, which was supposed to arrive this morning, was attacked by a fleet of Imperial fighters while sailing last night. Although no ships or supplies were destroyed, the fighters were lucky enough to cripple the ship's power system.

After emergency repairs by the damage management personnel, although the power of the transport ship was restored, there was no way to drive at a very high speed, and it is expected that it will take until two o'clock this afternoon to reach the first island chain.

However, the defenders on Kings Island now have only three cardinal thermite rounds left for each soldier, and only about 1,000 rounds of ammunition for each machine gun crew.

Red mercury fuel was also running out for a long time, and many of the Steam Armored Knights had either suffered irreversible trauma or had no way to continue using it due to a lack of parts to repair it.

The entire machine gun crew did not have a Steam Knight, and there was not enough fuel and spare parts left to ensure that all the remaining soldiers could use the Steam Knight.

So Kimchi adjusted the configuration of the assembly, allocating all the supplies of the Steam Armored Knights to specialized melee units and fire brigades.

Tightening the defensive line was inevitable, and Kimchi replanned the defense line of Kings Island with his relatively well-fortified headquarters and its affiliated fortress defense area as the core.

The newest weapon at the defenders' disposal, the Pulse Weapon has been incorporated into its unique launcher.

No one knows whether this thing is useful or not, it was originally something that Kirsten asked Kimchi to use for experiments.

But in this situation, even an iron lump can at least severely damage a few cyborg soldiers, right?

On the tight defensive line, all units supplied their ordinary ammunition to the machine-gun crew, and Hecehia and several soldiers in charge of logistics began to make bullet chains for machine guns.

Kimchi formed a team of selected knights as a firefighting team, and this team would be supplied first.

The Imperial Landing Force rushed through the aftermath of the massive alchemy unleashed by Hessehia and began to storm the last remaining defenses on the Isle of Kings.

Half an hour later, the machine gun crew ran out of ammunition, and all the machine gun crew soldiers were engaged in the melee unit.

After a quarter of an hour, the defenders ran out of ammunition and the two sides fought in the trenches for control of their positions.

At this point, the pulse weapon had to be used.

After a quick calibration, the launcher aimed at several locations where the cyborg soldiers were concentrated and began firing pulse weapons.

After a few seconds, an invisible electromagnetic pulse began to spread rapidly around the weapon's landing site.

Any robot soldier that is affected by the electromagnetic pulse is first destroyed by the circuitry between the delicate electronic components protected by the armor layer, and then its electronic components.

All of this happened in a very short period of time, and by the time Hessesia keenly felt the unusual electromagnetic pulse, the pulse weapon had already finished its attack.

The enemy's landing force suffered heavy losses, and the pressure on the remaining defenders was doubled. The successful explosion of the pulse weapon gave everyone hope of victory.

It won't be long before the transport ships carrying supplies and reinforcements will arrive here, and with plenty of ammunition and more soldiers, it will be possible to hold out until tomorrow morning.

However, it was at this time that Hecehia sensed that something was wrong.

There was something both familiar and strange to her, a huge and ancient creature was approaching the Imperial Navy fleet.

In the next moment, a tentacle much larger than the Isle of Kings broke through the sea.

It was a gray tentacle covered in shards of metal embedded in the rock-thick tentacle body.

The huge body smashed into the Imperial Fleet at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye of ordinary people, and in just a few tens of seconds, the Imperial Fleet was completely destroyed, and then the tentacles returned to the surface of the sea.

The cyborg soldier lost command in the rear and immediately activated the station-in-place mode. And the defenders were still shocked by the scene just now, and did not return to their senses.

Hessehia quickly brought Kimchi back to his senses, and Kimchi, who came to his senses, immediately ordered the defenders to destroy the enemy on Kings Island quickly, and immediately reported to the rear what had just happened.

"It's a living meteorite." Margarita said. After getting the news that Kimchi had heard radio messages from the front, Margarita immediately realized that this was a living meteorite.

The iconic giant tentacles, as well as the fact that they have only attacked the Imperial fleet so far, can be used as evidence.

"Isn't the living meteorite sealed?" Kirsten said, "Why did you suddenly run out?" ”

"It's likely that the empire didn't know what to do to release the live meteorite, remember that Viloya's reconnaissance satellite didn't observe a sea battle in the southern seas."

"Yes, with that size of the fleet, it can only be the forces of the South Loya Empire. The reconnaissance satellite was somewhat damaged, so by the time it was transferred over the battlefield, the battle was over.

The observations over the next few days revealed no surprises.

It turns out that they were fighting a living meteorite that day? Veroya said.

"No, it should be said that they just sent a fleet against something, and that thing happens to be the seal of a living meteorite.

When they destroyed the seal, they caused the living meteorite to escape. Margarita guessed.

Ever since she was freed from the royalist shackles, Margarita began to study and verify the events of the war years on her own, and now she has speculated that the living meteorites in the Middle-earth theater were probably sealed in the southern seas.

"Well, guys, now is not the time to speculate about what happened before. Now we need to think, what should we do if a living meteorite appears on the Silent Sea? Felenvinoer said.

"Rest assured, its primary target must be the South Loya Empire." Margarita said.

"So how can it tell if it's attacking the South Loya Empire?"

"This, this is not clear." Margarita frowned.

"Does this mean that if we continue to repair and use the technology of the Southern Loya Empire, it is likely that we will be attacked by living meteorites?" Felianvinoll expressed her speculation with some concern.

"It is possible that if according to the proportion of science and technology, the imperial technology of the Serbian region has become very low because it has suffered a certain blow, on the contrary, the technology value of the imperial fleet is much higher.

After being attracted by the Imperial Fleet, the living meteorite will definitely continue to advance towards the mainland of the South Loya Empire after comparing the proportion of technology value, and it will not always attack us before destroying the South Loya Empire. ”

"Hmmm... Therefore, all plans must be accelerated, and the base camp must be moved back to Middle-earth as soon as possible.

Or, in Serbia, we can't rely too much on the technology of the South Loa Empire. ”

Kimchi and Hessehia boarded a large steam boat carrying a positioning buoy transported by fighter jets from the rear to the designated sea area for launch.

The defenders of Kings Island rotated, and a newly arrived infantry brigade began to collect the corpses, clear the broken fortifications, and rebuild the defensive line.

The energy stored by the detection satellites that Viroya can now operate is limited, so changing the orbital position to monitor a certain area requires a rough positioning, which will greatly reduce the workload and energy consumption for mobilization.

On the steamboat, it was still boring, and Kimchi and Hecehia began to chat.

"Living meteorites? Are you sure? Isn't that kind of thing sealed? Kimchi asked.

"That's a living meteorite, and I'm certainly not wrong with my feelings. I just don't know why I broke the seal and came out. ”

"Alas, the future is going to be more and more unpredictable. Even living meteorites, something that should have been buried in history, have come out. ”

"So you should be more ambitious, brother, shouldn't you? Only by becoming stronger can we be more confident in the face of the unpredictable future, right? ”

“。。。 So since you have a living meteorite fragment, then why doesn't this living meteorite come to you? ”

"It may be that the hatred of the South Loya Empire outweighs the instinctive need to become stronger. So you have to be strong to protect your sister, don't you? ”

"Okay, okay, my good sister, your brother, I'll try to go back, okay? Let's stop talking about it, okay? ”

"It's up to you."

"Okay, okay."

Just as Kimchi began to slow down the steamboat, preparing to cross the edge of the collapse of the Imperial Navy, a huge vortex was suddenly created.

The huge attraction was impossible to escape even if the steamboat was overloaded and at full power, and Hecehia hurriedly used alchemy to get the steamboat out of the sea and suspended in midair.

"What?! Could it be a living meteorite? ”

"It's not."

What emerged from the vortex was not the massive tentacles of a living meteorite, but a badly damaged metal sphere through which a faintly glowing complex structure could be seen.

The reason why it has not been eroded by the sea is that the sphere also has a transparent protective layer.

After the sphere came out, the whirlpool on the surface of the sea quickly disappeared, and Hecehia put the steamboat back on the surface.

"What is this?"

"I don't know."

Kimchi picked up the radio communication device on the steamboat and contacted the command in the rear, mainly to ask if Viroya knew what this thing was.

However, Veroya said that she was not very clear and needed to take a look at the scene. So Kimchi and Hessehia continued to work on the positioning buoy.

It didn't take long for Viroya and Kirsten to fly a seaplane to the place where the sphere was, and Viroya controlled alchemy to carry Kirsten to the sphere.

"What is this?" Kirsten asked. She had come here to enlighten herself by observing its structure, but what was the purpose of this smooth metal sphere? She thought it was a sphere with a complex structure, and the complex structure was all in it.

"This should be something like the Holy Crown of Gaia."

"The Holy Crown of Gaia? You mean those huge blue-glowing orbs of the Institute? You say that this small sphere is also the Holy Crown of Gaia? ”

"Yes, it's just a relatively low-level one, and it's been placed at the bottom of the sea. It may be that the living meteorite has stimulated it, and now there is no trace of the living meteorite, and it has been suspended above the sea surface. ”

"Is it possible to ship it back?"

"Of course, why don't I do it?"

However, after tinkering for a long time, Wei Luoya found that this Gaia Holy Crown was seriously damaged, and there was no even momentum to move forward, no wonder this Gaia Holy Crown stayed on this sea surface and did not pursue the living meteorite.

It turned out that it was not because the living meteorite was destroying the Imperial fleet too quickly, but that this Gaia Holy Crown had no momentum to move forward.

So, the last seaplane dragged a metal sphere and flew back with the blessing of Veroya's alchemy.

The Imperial fleet attacking Middle-earth was in the hands of the Imperial Military Department as soon as the news of its destruction came to the hands of the Imperial Military Department, and according to the final images, it was likely to be a living meteorite.

However, this is neither the empire's native nor the one in the Eastern Continent that is sealed under the continent, so how did this living meteorite come about? It can't be the one they killed, right?

The arrogant South Loya Empire may have forgotten how hard it was during the war years for their ancestors to suppress the activity of living meteorites and seal them away.

Now they think that they can kill the living meteorite that has just come out of the seal with their own troops, but they are really a little too high, and they look too low on the living meteorite.

The Imperial War Department didn't know where the living meteorite came from, but since it didn't choose to hide secretly and decided to attack the Empire, the Imperial Army had to give it a little color.

Those who died in the fleet provoked the outrage of the Empire. Although this person secretly waited on the ship by himself to experience a command battle.

False Empire, a real game built by the Empire, through the terminal in the fortress world, you can control the people in the False Empire. They have to pay tithes to the Imperial Fortress world every year to continue the game.

Now dealing with living meteorites is naturally treated as a world-class boss by the people who manage the false empire in the Imperial Fortress World, and all the forces in the false empire are excitedly preparing for war.

The Empire has no sense of crisis at all, because they think that the last time the Empire was able to solve the living meteorite, so how could it not be successful this time in the Empire itself?

What's more, in order to consolidate its authority, the ruling class claimed to avenge the last time they died in the battle with the living meteorite, and used their real elite, and the imperial military department is not panicking at all now, and is even a little looking forward to the arrival of the living meteorite.

After all, this is a natural disaster that is recorded in the history books as invincible, and if you can solve it yourself, won't it be able to write it into the history books? Just like Eric, who commanded the naval fleet in the first place.

A few days later, with a tsunami of all sizes, the living meteorite arrived in the coastal waters of the False Empire and began to fight the False Empire's fleet.

These warships, which are only a hundred years more advanced than Middle-earth, are no match for living meteorites, except for the integrated industrial system of making robotic soldiers.

The fleet, which had already been damaged in the tsunami, was quickly wiped out by a living meteorite.

The defense of the coastline has become a decoration due to the impact of the tsunami, and the living meteorite has easily landed on the land of the false empire.

Large aerial bombing formations reached the sky over the living meteorite, and the bullets in the submunitions they dropped were all composed of dirty bombs.

In addition to submunitions, there are also ground-penetrating bombs, thermobaric bombs, and high-explosive aerial bombs, and all kinds of extremely powerful weapons have been put into use.

However, all of this proved ineffective after the smoke cleared, as the living meteorite absorbed the armor layer of the battle fortress, causing the weapons to only peel off a layer of its skin.

The living meteorite continues its way inland, devouring all the resources at its disposal to strengthen itself and repair its wounds.

Even a few rounds of bombardment, which were larger than all the air forces of the countries of Middle-earth combined, and the large bomber formations were ineffective, and the more tanks and artillery fortresses on the ground were used to block living meteorites.
