Chapter 1581: Onslaught
Lorraine was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly awakened by the fierce shouts of killing outside the city.
He lay down**, listened carefully to the sound of gunfire outside, and suddenly opened his eyes: This sound is wrong~!
Lord Luo jumped down from the march **, and then picked up his belt with a holster hanging from the ground, and hurriedly buckled it around his waist.
Vera rubbed her worried eyes and sat up from the ** next to her, and the soft quilt slipped down from her body, which was in front of the **, revealing a large section of the ** smooth as jade**.
She looked around blankly, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What time is it, why is it so noisy outside?" ”
In the basement, there is only the dim light of oil lamps, and you can't see the sky outside, so you can't know what time it is.
"Five o'clock," Lorraine took out his pocket watch, looked down, and said, "It's just five o'clock, and it's not yet dawn." Why did the enemy move so early today?"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but wonder.
The swarm of insects besieging Second Station always did not move until after dawn - the officers of the command speculated that the insects would affect their eyesight in the early morning as much as at night.
Vera muttered reluctantly, spread her arms and yawned, then rubbed her eyes to get off the **.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile, walked over, patted her pretty face, and said, "It's still early, you can sleep again, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Last night's Lich raid on Fortress Two lasted until two o'clock in the morning, and they had only been lying down for long.
"Oh," Vera, who was still a little dazed, agreed happily, and then poured **, covered her head with a blanket, and then went to catch up on sleep.
Miss Vera gets up very angrily, if she doesn't sleep enough, she will be in a very bad mood, and when Miss Vera is in a bad mood, the first unlucky person is often Lord Lorraine.
To appease Miss Vera, Lord Lorraine walked out of the narrow basement and walked into the headquarters,
The headquarters was already in chaos at the moment, and many staff officers had just jumped up from the march, disheveled, and their eyes were red and they threw themselves into their work.
The sound of gunfire outside was already loud, especially the huge momentum when the heavy artillery fired, and the vibration when the artillery was fired could be felt in the headquarters.
Lorraine strode out of the headquarters. Suddenly, a fresh, dry and cold air rushed towards him, and his mind suddenly felt clear.
Although it was warm in the headquarters, dozens of officers stayed there all night.
These pups have never been bathed these days, and to prevent drowsiness, to increase the excitement level of the brain. They always smoke cigarettes and drink coffee one after the other.
The headquarters is the same as the gas chambers in Auschwitz.
Lord Luo breathed in the fresh air as he raised his head to look at the sky.
At this time, the sun is still hidden below the horizon.
There was only a dull gray in the sky, and everything was confused.
The dense fog also surrounded the fortress, and only within a short hundred and ten meters near the fortress was the fog dispersed by the mages with a strong wind.
In the thick fog in the distance, from time to time there was a burst of fire from a cannonball.
At this time, the fortress was already bustling with boiling water.
Gunshots, cannons, shouts...... All kinds of voices have been resounded.
Amid the angry shouts of the officers, the soldiers who had just woken up stumbled and put on their clothes, grabbed their weapons, and hurried from the trenches to the battle line.
This time the attack was more fierce than ever.
The Knell Beetle desperately attacked the fortress's defenses, and in a matter of minutes, their corpses were piling up a high wall around the fortress.
In just half an hour, the soldiers of the entire fortress were all sent to the battle line, desperately firing outward. In order to stop the tide of death knell beetles.
Support was being called in every direction of the fortress, and every call was urgent. The artillerymen had to use their strength to reload, fire, and reload as fast as they could......
In the busyness, the artillerymen simply threw off their shirts and carried the shells bare-chested in the weather of a few degrees below zero, each steaming hot and sweating.
Reports of urgency and requests for reinforcements continued to reach Lord Lorraine, and all the officers on the front claimed that they were about to be overwhelmed.
After the reserves were exhausted, the mages who had been pampered were also sent to the front line, even including Maris and a few dragons.
As the mages struck one after another, lightning flashed in front of the position, flames, and hailstorms......
And the priests also went to the front line, waving the staff in their hands, and scattering white holy arts to boost morale.
Thanks to their concerted efforts, the situation was finally stabilized temporarily, but the stalemate did not last long.
As the sky grew brighter and the battle was raging, the roar of a war fortress was heard from the thick fog.
Uncharacteristically, the undead war fortress openly appeared above the fortress during the day, launching an aerial assault on the fortress.
The addition of dozens of war fortresses immediately made the human coalition forces in the fortress busy and exhausted.
The artillery on the open battery had to be temporarily ceasefired, and the artillery was dragged back into the bunker to avoid air raids.
And without the support of heavy artillery fire, the pressure on the front line suddenly increased.
Commander on the front called after call to the command and asked for reinforcements.
At this time, the death knell beetle was even touching the front of the bunker.
xxxxxxx
The 4th Caribbean Division guarded the entire southern part of the fort, and the command had assessed that the southern side of the fort might be the weakest place to be attacked in battle, so it was left to the Caribbean Division.
The human coalition does not believe much in the fighting power of the Caribbeans.
Although they also have the best equipment - not long ago, due to the wind blowing on Fiona's pillow, Lord Luo spared no expense to replace them with the latest weapons and equipment - now their combat effectiveness can be described as a big leap.
But the Human Coalition didn't think so. Because firepower is not exactly equal to combat effectiveness, it has a great relationship with the soldiers' suzhì.
The Caribbean Division, on the other hand, has a lot of history in this regard.
They are known to be able to run and run away.
Therefore, everyone looked at these dogs with colored eyes, and some even mercilessly called them brothers-in-law to their faces.
According to the customs of the Ruman Empire, this was originally an extremely contemptuous title, but after receiving this title from top to bottom of the Caribbean Division, they were not ashamed but proud, and even complacent.
For these skinless and faceless guys, everyone also hates the itchy teeth, but there is nothing they can do.
But since the start of the war, the front line garrisoned by the Caribbean Division has experienced the continuous onslaught of the death knell beetle, relying on the superiority of weapons, they have blocked wave after wave of enemies and withstood the test of battle.
It's very impressive for the human coalition.
Today, though, things are a little different.
Amu and the others have been playing since the morning, and the fingers that have pulled the trigger are numb, and the death knell beetle on the opposite side is still stubbornly moving forward.
Anderson's machine gun spewed tongues of fire all the time, and the hot shells kept flying out of the shell and rolling to the ground, piling up a thick layer that even submerged his feet.
Amu and the others found that today's death knell beetles seem to have become harder, or the power of the bullets has become less, and compared to the past, the death knell beetles can climb a few more steps in the rain of bullets.
Don't underestimate these steps, countless death knell beetles accumulate together for a long distance.
"Snort...... Whew~!"
A flame erupted, and the fire dragon rushed out dozens of meters, igniting all the death knell beetles it touched.
The orc grenadiers who stayed in a bunker with Amu roared angrily: "Go die~!"
Flamethrowers swung left and right to shoot at enemies, orange flames creating a wall of fire outside the bunker.
Amu in the bunker could all smell a pungent smell of burning, but they were already familiar with it.
Behind the group, a young mage gripped his staff and slowly chanted an obscure incantation, followed by a blinding arc of lightning that hit the death knell beetle swarm on the side of the wall of fire, and the arc instantly turned into a blue power grid, spreading through the swarm with a "stinging" sound.
The Knell Beetle struck by lightning trembled and fell to the ground, puffs of green smoke coming out of their bodies - their bodies simply couldn't stop the powerful electricity.
Due to the threat of the undead war fortress above their heads, the mages of the coalition had no choice but to hide in the bunker and could not fight outside, but this did not prevent them from playing.
Amu took a breath, and he also took the opportunity to turn the muzzle of his gun and concentrate fire on the enemy on the other side.
After fighting together for several days, the Caribbeans worked well with them.
In an instant, the pile of worm corpses in front of the bunker was thickened, but soon, the death knell beetles crawling up from behind occupied the front position. Once again, the battle just now was repeated.
Amu felt that they had become numb, and as soon as he closed his eyes now, an endless number of death knell beetles appeared in front of him, rushing towards him with their hideous mouths open.
So he kept his eyes wide open and didn't even blink.
"What's that?" Rami exclaimed, looking at the sky outside the bunker.
Amu followed his gaze and saw a black figure suspended above the swarm, and said suspiciously, "It seems to be ...... Is it a person?"
Their conversation attracts the attention of everyone inside the bunker.
The young mage squeezed to the window to take a look, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "Lich~!"
Outside is the air raid of the undead war fortress, and if you dare to appear in the air at this time, you can only be a mage of the undead, and the black clothes also match the description of the lich.
Everyone in the bunker was shocked, especially the Caribbeans, who turned pale with fright. Having been ruled by the lichs for millennia, their fear of the creature is almost deeply ingrained in their blood.
The mage shouted in a hurry, "Don't let it get close, fire, shoot it, shoot it~!"
The Caribbeans suddenly came to their senses.
Amu aimed at the dark shadow of the lich in the air, and raised his hand to shoot it.
Both Rami and Sylvie fired at the Lich, and even Anderson raised his gun and blasted the Lich with a series of long shots.
However, the lich suspended in mid-air did not seem to be harmed, but was attracted by the fire in the bunker, turning into a swirling black mist, flickering left and right in the air, dodging the bullets of the Caribbeans, and quickly approaching the bunker.
Even if it hits the Lich, the bullet will spark at the Lich, just like it hits steel.
In the blink of an eye, the lich was approaching a few dozen meters from the bunker. Immediately after, a green light shot out of the lich's hand.
"Be careful~!" the mage said urgently, and immediately released his mana shield, blocking behind the firing hole in the bunker.
The green light shone on the bunker, and the cement, which was as solid as stone, began to melt slowly like ice, and at the same time emitted a puff of black smoke.
Fortunately, it was protected by a mana shield, and the bunker firing hole was not wide, and when the deadly green light swept over the firing hole, it was blocked by the mana shield.
But a layer of sweat appeared on the mage's face instantly, and he didn't know if he was scared or tired.
Amu and the others also shrank their heads vigilantly, hiding in the thick walls of the bunker.
When they cautiously raised their heads from behind the bunker, they found that the lich had taken advantage of the two seconds to rush into a few dozen meters, so close that Amu could already see two points of green light on the lich's head.
"What the hell, death for grandpa~!" the orc grenadier roared and flashed out from behind the wall, and the flamethrower immediately spat out a burst of flame, enveloping the lich on the opposite side with unmistakable accuracy.
Amu: They immediately shouted excitedly.
In the eyes of the defenders in the bunker, the flamethrower's flames could not be extinguished, and the lich was doomed.
The orc grenadier let out a triumphant laugh, and the flames disappeared as he felt his fingers loosen.
But what shocked him was that the lich who was roasted alive by the flames for a few seconds was still alive~!
I don't know what kind of spell was cast, although his clothes were sparkling and his body was covered in black smoke, he was still suspended in the air, and his two green eyes were staring at them fiercely.
Seeing that the white bone staff on the opposite side was raised again, the mage in the bunker also lost his mind, gritted his teeth and gathered the mana of his whole body, propped up a mana shield, and said to the others in the bunker: "Run, I'll cover." ”
A lich is simply not something a few of them can stop.
The lich shoots a black flame that breaks the mage's mana shield with a single blow.
The Caribs in the bunker did not flee in a hurry, they looked at each other.
Then, with a roar of rage, Anderson raised his gun and opened fire on the lich in front of him.
Not to be outdone, Amu and Rami shoot the lich in the head with their rifles.
It is precisely because they have been ruled by the Lich, and it is precisely because of the fear of the Lich that they have aroused their determination. Because they all know that those murderous lichs will never forgive themselves.
But until the entire cartridge belt was finished, the lich on the other side had nothing to do, and let out a hoarse and shrill laugh, mocking the humans hiding in the bunker and not knowing the height of the sky.
Lichs are most fond of appreciating the fears that others have for them, and killing each other in fear in order to harvest resentful souls.
That's the best material for the Lich.
In the lich's opinion, these people in front of him are already dead, and if they were others, they might have collapsed to the ground in fright, or knelt down and begged for mercy.
But Amu, Rami and Sylvie didn't give up, they still fired desperately at the lich, and Anderson gritted his teeth and quickly changed the cartridge belt of the machine gun.
The mage of the coalition army was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said, "Do you want to withdraw quickly, withdraw and stay here and wait for death?"
A few Caribbeans turned a deaf ear, as if they wouldn't stop until they killed the lich on the other side.
The mage gritted his teeth in hatred, clenched his staff, and said, "Damn, fight." ”
As a noble human mage, he didn't want to be compared to a few Semites.
The lich watched with interest as a few tiny humans struggled to the death, raising their arms in laughter, ready to deal with the few men in the bunker.
The orc grenadier simply dropped the flamethrower, pulled a grenade from his waist, and threw it at the lich.
The grenade swayed through the air for a while, before falling into the swarm at the lich's feet.
A violent explosion exploded from beneath the lich, and a blinding golden light enveloped the lich's entire body in an instant.
A deafening explosion sounded, and black smoke rose from where the lich had just been levitated, and even the death knell beetles below were blown away, clearing a round white ground.
In the drifting smoke, there was no longer a shadow of the lich.
Several people in the bunker looked at the orc grenadier in surprise, and the half-orc grenadier looked at his hand in surprise, then looked at a few of them, and muttered, "I blew it up?"
Amu and the others nodded stupidly, and at the same time wondered in their hearts, the grenade didn't seem to be so powerful.
Or when did the Flying Eagle Group develop a new product?
The mage of the coalition army felt a strong mana fluctuation from the explosion just now, he shook his head, and said dumbly, "This is the power of the spell. Such a powerful mage in the whole camp...... Only the Dean. ”
A blue-robed figure appeared in the sky above the bunker, and from his white beard, it was none other than the forbidden spell masage Reist.
After blowing the lich to pieces with just one move, Lester put away his staff, scanned the lichs on the other side with sharp eyes, and raised his voice, "Who else?"
Not far away, several lichs glanced at each other and let out a piercing scream, pounced on Lester from several directions at once.
Destroying Lester is tantamount to removing one arm of the human alliance.
Lester greeted them with a violent ice storm that froze large numbers of death-knell beetles to the ground.
Then flicker a few times nimbly and start a grappling with the lichs.
The light of various spells flickered frequently in the air south of the fortress.
A terrible screech filled the battlefield, and upon hearing this screech, the lich besieging Lester distanced himself and pestered him with various ranged mages, while several men pounced on the fortress's bunker.
It seems that the enemy is determined to break through the Allied fortress first.
A lich turned into a cloud of black smoke and swooped down on the bunker.
Seeing that he was about to burrow into the bunker, ** the Caribbeans among them.
A cloud of white light suddenly lit up above the bunker, and a figure shrouded in light armor fell from the sky, blocking the front of the rushing black smoke, and a dazzling lightsaber slashed head-on. (To be continued.) )
