Chapter 35 Deepening of the degree
On that day, the people of the South Loya Empire finally remembered again the fear that had once been enveloped by a living meteorite.
Although the fortress world has successfully protected their physical bodies from the attacks of the mechanical monsters, the mental shock is clearly not something that the defense system can protect.
In the fortress world, chaos spreads at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Today, doomsday rhetoric is no longer a joke but a possible fact.
Of course, there will be people who numb themselves and use virtual worlds, all kinds of strange things, to detach themselves from reality.
But after all, that is only a minority, and most people cannot successfully deceive themselves. Since you can't deceive yourself, let alone suppress your instinctive fear of death.
Only then did the top brass of the Nanluoya Empire realize that they seemed to have forgotten something, how could they be so careless when facing a living meteorite.
But it is useless to repent now and to trace the cause of forgetting.
They hurriedly rummaged through various ancient books and asked any of the old Candle Sect elders and the old artificial intelligence of the Empire about the combat methods of living meteorites.
However, the living meteorite that has completed the metamorphosis can now be said to be a greatly reduced version of the power of the original living meteorite.
It's a miniature version, but it's just a miniature version, and it's at that level anyway.
Just as the smallest battleship can easily knock over the largest destroyer, the reverse is not possible.
A large part of the ancient books were destroyed by themselves, and the passage of time made them forget many details of the original battle.
Therefore, the current empire has no clue about the battle against living meteorites, and can only keep trying and then summing up lessons and lessons.
However, the fortress world is also a super-large battle fortress built by the South Luoya civilization in ancient times to defend against living meteorites.
Even if the younger generations of civilization have forgotten that it is not just a utopian place to live.
Within ten minutes of the attack, the Divine Council's terminal system, which had received no clear instructions, automatically took over command of the super-large battle fortress.
The massive multi-weapon platform hidden beneath the metal armor was activated, slowly rising under the astonished gaze of the Imperials, and then began to unleash powerful firepower to attack the behemoth.
Under the attack of these ancient technological creations, the aggregation of civilizations at the level of a false empire is simply impossible to resist.
Moreover, these weapons all use the mass energy attack generated by the annihilation of positive and antimatter, which cannot be absorbed by living meteorites, and they can quickly convert energy and matter.
The behemoth was quickly battered by the attack of the Weapons Complex, and fell to ruins, leaving an entire area covered in dust once more.
The Imperial fleet's reconnaissance force simply couldn't detect what's going on in the dust, and the interference inside was so strong that any aircraft that entered it would lose its ability to communicate and power in just a few seconds.
But this is not the end, the battle has just begun. The colossal mechanical creature was nothing more than a living meteorite that had been assembled in order to master its own abilities.
This mechanical monster is like an experimental model, just used to verify something.
Next, it will make the corresponding model according to various actual conditions. Adaptability and the ability to imitate are the one things that cause any civilization the most headaches.
Although the fortress world can resist the attack of this living meteorite, there is no way to completely eliminate the living meteorite, which means that if the people of the Nanloya Empire do not find a way to create a miracle, then most of them can only live in the shadow shrouded by the living meteorite every day.
。
Eastern Continent.
The naval fleets of the DPRK and the DPRK, which had gathered in the four coastal ports of the empire, were ready to go, and the ground forces were ready to enter the transport ships.
Less than a few years after the end of the Northern Expedition, the Daohuang Dynasty once again launched a large-scale expedition.
This time, the ruler of the dynasty made up his mind that there would be no more vassal states in the future, and the Eastern Continent and even the Eastern World should be renamed and called the Daohuang Dynasty.
The main force of the expedition remained the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had not yet been disbanded. However, in addition to the Northern Expeditionary Army, there was also a group of troops directly under His Majesty the Emperor led by Kang Huanghuang.
And the vassal alliance under the command of the gods of Takamagahara, has built a steel defense line. However, it is precisely because of these gods of the High Heaven Plains who broke the seal and recruited the Daomen of the Heaven Supervisor to recruit the world also participated in this expedition.
Needless to say, the initial battle situation was needless to say, and the escort fleet annihilated the last naval fleet of the vassal states and the remnants of the navy of the Southern Luoya Empire with a devastating force.
This was followed by the landing of the army, which quickly broke through the capital of the vassal state and arrested its king. If you are willing to be a disobedient marquis or something, you will leave a life and be escorted to the imperial court; Those who don't want to be killed directly, and then the nine clans are connected.
In this way, except for the Toei Kingdom, which was protected by the gods of High Heavengahara, basically all other vassal kingdoms were completely wiped out in just one week.
On the twelfth day after the start of the expedition, the army approached the mainland of the Dongying Kingdom, and for the army of the dynasty, the really difficult battle began, and it was not a warm-up before.
The first batch of vanguard troops of the dynasty suffered a great loss, and the enemy's first line of steel defense actually invested thousands of priests, which was almost the sum of the priests of the Dongying Kingdom.
This means that there is a possibility of the existence of the gods of Takamagaha just in the defense zone of the coastline.
So the people of the Heavenly Supervisor Division began to help the Korean army in the war.
But after all, the weakest of the gods of the High Heaven Plain also brought a god character, so the battle was still very difficult.
To this end, the Heavenly Prison Division invested more strength, and even took out the stone statue of the Dao Venerable in the Heavenly Prison Tower to fight against the gods of the High Heaven Plain.
The naval fleet also carried out heavy artillery strikes on enemy lines in the intervals between the trimming of army units.
Strange things began to appear near the battlefield.
These High Heaven Plain gods are different from spirit lords, they were once all humans, but they became so-called "gods" under the action of fragments of a living meteorite.
So they don't control these weird things, and genetically they are lower than the Spirit Lord and Hecethia today.
At the beginning, even the Eastern Theater Army, which had already been heavily damaged, was able to seal them.
A week passed, and with the accumulation of a slight advantage in the excellent military qualities of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, the army of the Kuo-dynasty finally broke through the defenses laid by the Dongying Kingdom on the coastline.
However, the battle damage was still quite staggering, with a total of more than 17,000 casualties, and in order to completely eliminate the gods of Takamagahara, who were stationed on the coastline, the Prison Heaven Division damaged three Daozun stone statues and killed and wounded four armed governors.
The battle that followed was a quagmire nightmare.
There were a lot of Takamagaha gods, and under the compulsion of the high-ups, almost all the middle and lower-class Takamagaha gods were sent to the front line to fight.
They don't have any tactics, they just keep throwing gods into the battlefield. Although this kind of refueling tactic will cause a large number of unnecessary casualties on your own side, it is a military taboo.
But it is also a tactic that can successfully drag down the army of the DPRK. The commander of the army of the country is still speculating about the commander on the opposite side with the thinking of a normal person.
After seeing the enemy's refueling tactics, he laughed at the stupidity of the enemy commander and set up a large net to send reinforcements.
Soon, however, the commander of the Korean army stopped laughing. Because the enemy reinforcements are constantly coming to support here, wave after wave.
Even with their own tactics, the Korean army was fighting with an astonishing 1:10 battle loss ratio. However, there are not enough troops allocated to this front.
Gradually, they could only change from the original initiative to stick to the spot, and finally the Korean army became a passive side.
This is happening on every battlefield on the front lines.
The Expeditionary Force's Headquarters/Command was shocked how could the Dongying Kingdom do such a thing? Are they a bunch of madmen who are going to die with them?
Before he could figure out why the enemy was doing this, the commander could only give the order for the troops to retreat in an orderly manner, consolidate the defensive line, and meet the frenzied enemy.
Two days after the Austerity Front, the people of the Heavenly Prison Division discovered through the corpses of the front-line soldiers/transportees that they were all infected with fungi, their brains were devoured by the fungus, and they had completely lost any sanity.
After the full reinforcement of this fungus, a civilian can also be transformed into an elite soldier.
But it seems that the Dongying Kingdom is in a hurry to prepare, but this kind of thing is going to battle, and the fungus in this corpse has not yet covered the limbs of people.
So now is not the time to delay time, the longer the time passes, the stronger the army of the Dongying Kingdom will become stronger and stronger in front of the expeditionary army of the national dynasty.
The commander of the expeditionary force immediately issued an order, so that Kang Huihuang immediately led the cavalry troops to interrupt the enemy's attack.
This is a very difficult task, but the so-called one of the best generals in the army of the DPRK today, and several fierce generals who have been recognized by the Northern Expeditionary Army, this kind of task is still competent.
In the end, Kang Huihui attacked the enemy's most fierce salient with 10,000 cavalry, and successfully annihilated this salient at the cost of one-third of the casualties.
The situation on the battlefield immediately changed, and the Korean army immediately launched a full-scale counteroffensive.
In this battle, the army of the Kuo Dynasty advanced the battle line all the way to the outskirts of the capital of the Dongying Kingdom before stopping the offensive and began to build positions and camps in situ.
At this point, the battle of the alliance of the expeditionary vassal states has also entered the final stage, as long as the Tai'an Jing in front of you is broken, and the king of the Dongying Kingdom is arrested and beheaded for public display, then the expedition will be over.
But this final stage is often the toughest battle. It's not just an army of samurai who have been transformed, but also the gods of Takamagahara.
The army of the dynasty tried several raids.
There were special combat teams who climbed the city wall at night and entered the city to open the city gates.
A team of runes carried battering rams inscribed with countless talismans, and suddenly burst out to storm the city gate when the enemy sentries were changing the guard.
Wait, all of these methods have been used, but without exception, they have all failed, and now you can only use the frontal and tough combat style.
The expeditionary force began to build large siege weapons with the main parts sent by the naval fleet.
。
Inside the high walls of the Duchy of the Acropolis.
It had turned into a black-purple patch of slime, littered with large insect eggs.
For the time being, the civilization named Zerg is probably second only to living meteorites. The steam technology that remained within the duchy was absorbed by the swarm and became part of itself.
All sorts of bizarre factories began to be built by the Worker Worm, and began to steadily produce steel, which would become part of the Soldier Worm after a series of processing and modifications.
These soldiers are war machines the size of super-heavy tanks, with heavy armor and bio-powered cannons, as well as massive claws and scythes.
Of course, there are not only this type of soldiers, but also the common ant soldiers with light armor, fast movement, and two sickle-shaped forelimbs.
This is a condensation of civilization after all, and they have rapidly expanded and multiplied after acquiring the undisturbed land of the Acropolis Principality.
Their breeding numbers are soon approaching a tipping point, and more land is needed.
As a result, external expansion became their main task in the future. This aggressive and territorial creature will not get along well with the local population.
Therefore, when the Cang Dynasty army was still struggling with the army of the Rhine Alliance, these uninvited guests immediately attacked two countries at the same time.
At first they thought it was something weird, but as time went on, the speculation was dismissed.
The Zerg's attack has caused confusion on the front lines of the two countries, and when the two sides have managed to stabilize the situation, these Zerg have taken the position of the front line.
For them, a large amount of mechanical and organic matter is the best breeding zone.
The Cang Dynasty and the Rhine Alliance still didn't know what this was, so instead of attacking the Zerg while the Workers began to transform the area, they were rebuilding the defense line to guard against these strange creatures.
The war between the Cang Dynasty and the Rhine Alliance ended in this way, and the Rhine Alliance troops that had entered the hinterland of the Cang Dynasty were also withdrawn.
The two sides temporarily ceased fire and decided to jointly deal with the expansion of this zerg.
Of course, the battle between the two countries that missed the best time to eliminate will be more difficult.
They had already spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the war that ended in a hurry, and now they had to face the attack of the Zerg. If it weren't for the fact that the bugs only use people as organic matter, then perhaps the voices of the capitulation faction would be extremely appealing.
Now they can only hold on, barely continuing the war at the cost of overdrawing future generations.
If the Zerg are wiped out, both countries may not be able to continue fighting.
The Spirit Lord quickly learned what was happening on the front lines of the Cang Dynasty and the Rhine Alliance, and through a memory search of the living meteorite, it learned that it was a hive civilization that had been polluted by the battle between the living meteorite and the anti-living meteorite civilization complex.
Living meteorite fragments and biomass weapons have completely changed the genes of this race, and the powerful destroyer-star weapons have also irreversibly entered a period of rapid decay on the planet where this civilization lives.
This period of decay is extremely inconsistent with the laws of the universe, so natural disasters on the surface of the earth, the activity of the plot becomes violent, and in this environment, only the population with strong adaptability and the rate of evolution is one generation can survive.
In the end, the Zerg survived, and before the planet was destroyed, they assembled the wreckage of the warship in orbit and began to travel to their new home.
The final result was that it was destroyed by the remaining three-dimensional defense system in outer space of this world, and most of the matrix was lost, leaving only a civilization backup matrix and some soldiers and insects that fell into the abyss of the Acropolis Principality.
This was followed by the establishment of the Imperial Guard Wall and the later destruction of the Empire, the establishment of the Acropolis Principality, and the Secret Entente.
The Spirit Lord didn't care much about this, because although these zergs were in terrible numbers, there was a fatal problem that their civilization level was too low.
Even if it completely swallowed up the Rhine Alliance and the Cang Dynasty, it would take decades to completely digest their scientific and technological achievements.
But will these bugs thrive in peace? This is impossible, and their expansion and reproduction speed will not allow them to stop attacking.
Now you just need to build a line of defense on the border with an alarming density of fire, and have plenty of ammunition and shells ready.
As a result, the Spirit Lord soon stopped caring about this matter and continued to deal with the matter of the southward advance.
With several large southern cities being incorporated into northern domination, the influence of the southern government is about to withdraw from the scope of the holy kingdom.
However, this did not affect the war on the front line with the allied forces of the Duchy of Dunling and the Duchy of Gaul, and if the southern government wanted to survive, it must conquer the south as soon as possible and expand its own power to confront the spirit lord.
The front line must not be chaotic, but must also march forward with great triumph and continue to expand the area occupied. Only in this way can he stabilize his rule in the southern countries and stabilize the morale of the army and get the support of the army.
It's not that they haven't thought about attacking the spirit lord and relying on this god to make themselves stronger.
But the family power of the northern government has already experimented at the cost of its own life, and the southern government will not be stupid enough to turn a blind eye.
The coalition's stealthy forces were able to barely hold on, and the two sides were now engaged in a bloody battle over Dublin, the acropolis defending the capital.
Once the coalition forces are lost, then the Southern Army Group will be under the city, and the government-in-exile of the southern countries hiding in the Duchy of Dunling will not think about recovering the country, and the rule of the southern government in the southern part of Middle-earth will be considered stable.
The army can rest while besieging the capital of the Duchy of Dunling, and there is no problem with supplies in the rich south.
And the southern government can also turn back and fight the spirit lord and try to regain some of the territory of the Holy Kingdom.
Although they can get the support of the army, there is no guarantee that the spirit lord will use the army's family to blackmail them regardless of the fighting on the front line.
In this war-torn age, Serbia is probably the only place still looking to the future. The rest of the world was just watching the battle in front of them.
