With his head down, Kiel fled back to his position, then set up his machine gun as fast as he could, and then pushed the bolt hard. With a "bang", the bullet was loaded into the chamber.

He leaned down, his shoulder resting on the butt of his gun, his right face pressed tightly against the handguard of the machine gun, and he aimed at the Knell Beetle in the distance through the crosshair guard, his fingers on the trigger, ready for battle.

The officers were also brandishing pistols at this time, shouting at the top of their voices: "Get ready, get ready to fight, come back quickly~!"

"Don't pick it up with your grandmother, the monster is coming. ”

“……”

In the midst of their hoarse roars, the soldiers who had been chopping the monster's corpse all ran back immediately.

Will also hugged the limbs of a large number of death knell beetles with both hands, and ran back gasping for air. He didn't care at all that his military uniform was stained with all kinds of disgusting liquids.

He jumped over the rocks with the machine gun on it, threw the worm leg in his arms to the ground, pulled it open and stuffed it inside, filling it up with his own, and then requisitioned Kiel's backpack without consent.

Kiel kicked him angrily and scolded: "Stupid, come and help, is life or money important?"

Will snorted, stuffed things into his backpack indiscriminately, and muttered, "It's all important, but at the moment my life is still alive and the money is gone, so it's better to have money." ”

After loading all the things, he grabbed the bullet belt from the ammunition box, lay down next to Kiel, and said, "Save a little, there are only the last two left." ”

Kiel snorted and said he understood, staring gloomily at the enemy in the distance—ammunition was running out. But the back has not been sent to make up for it. There must be a problem.

At this time. I heard the sound of a messy bolt all around.

Kiel looked left and right, and saw that on his side, all kinds of guns had poked out of cover and aimed into the distance.

His heart suddenly settled down, his side had completed the preparation of defense, and was waiting for the enemy to attack.

After Vir was out of breath, he looked at the wreckage of the war fortress that had turned into a crater in the distance, and pressed the steel helmet on his head. Said worriedly: "Even the war fortress can be defeated by the enemy, how can we fight this battle?"

Kiel couldn't help but sigh: yes, if the war fortress can't guarantee its own safety, how can it provide air fire cover for its own infantry.

There is an iron law within the security forces, there is not enough artillery, there is no air cover, and the ground forces are resolutely not going into battle.

On his side, he obviously has an absolute advantage in firepower, but he wants to play close combat with the enemy, which is purely brain pumping.

If any commander dares to do so, he will receive a medal of valor. Then dismissed and went home. In the event of heavy casualties, they can even be court-martial by the gendarmes. Stand on trial.

Lord Lorraine spent a lot of money to form a security army, not to let them be cannon fodder and fight with the enemy with bayonets.

Even in the Battle of Ruman, the Skeleton Division was protected by several squadrons of fighters above their heads.

And this is also an important reason why the security forces can run rampant and invincible: they only fight the battles they can win, and those who are not sure of winning, they will not even touch them.

Although this is not bloody enough, and there is also a suspicion of bullying the weak, but this is war. If you fight that kind of uncertain battle for the sake of some false name, and fill in your own life, you will generally be called brain-dead.

The only way to cure this disease is to cut off the head and have it kicked as a ball.

At this moment, the three remaining war fortresses in the sky were still firing at the swarm on the ground.

Only this time, they were all much smarter, and they didn't dare to stay at a low altitude of forty or fifty meters anymore, hovering and playing the role of a fixed battery.

At this moment, they were scattered in the sky, two at an altitude of two or three hundred meters, and one flying higher, scouting the position of the enemy who had just attacked the fortress of war.

The three war fortresses are constantly moving rapidly, guarding against unidentified attacks from the north, and at the same time, as if venting, they bombard the ground with ferocious fire.

Under their artillery fire, the death knell beetles searched the remains of the war fortress from the inside out. Locate all the people inside, and then vent their bodies to shreds, usually with their giant pincers.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the remaining war fortresses were all furious, and they all gritted their teeth one by one, bombarding them with more fierce artillery fire.

Every time a cannon falls, it blows up countless stumps and broken arms.

The Knell beetles left behind hundreds more corpses, and soon all of them retreated northward.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the first battalion all breathed a sigh of relief: if there was another fierce battle like the one just now, they didn't know if they would be able to withstand it.

Although there is a war fortress overhead, it is not safe - because the enemy has anti-aircraft fire, and the war fortress will certainly not be able to fully support itself in order to protect itself.

However, as soon as the battle alert was lifted, the unrelenting soldiers paid attention to the monster corpses everywhere, and tried to earn extra money for themselves in the spirit of earning more and more gains.

Commander Vorster watched the soldiers' movements but did not stop them, but stood on a towering rock, holding a telescope, and kept watching the enemy's movements.

Right now, he didn't pay attention, and he didn't know what to do next.

Even the war fortress has been knocked out, and it is certainly impossible to continue the search forward. What's more, after this battle, most of the ammunition of the troops was consumed.

Now the best thing to do is to withdraw as soon as possible and replenish the ammunition.

He had already reported to the regimental commander that it was irrational to fight in an open area with a large number of bugs.

If Cheng Dù's attack just now is fought again, his battalion will definitely not be able to withstand it. And he knew that now the supplies at the regiment headquarters were also very tight, and there was not much left.

At this time, the herald sent the order of the regiment commander in the rear.

After reading the order, Commander Vorster let out a sigh of relief, then clapped his hands and called the officers over, and said in a loud voice: "The order from above is that we retreat immediately." Right now. Organize your teams. Retreat to the regimental headquarters within five minutes, without any delay. ”

The officers looked at each other, then spread their hands helplessly, and turned to convey the order, although it was a pity to throw down so many death-knell beetle corpses, but in comparison, it was more important to kill oneself.

They also wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.

Wield his dagger and slashed at the death of the Knell Beetle through gritted teeth. While removing the beetle's limbs, he counted: "Twenty, twenty-one......"

At this time, the squad leader suddenly conveyed the order to retreat, and it was necessary to set off within five minutes.

There was a burst of grief-stricken wails from the crowd of loot harvesters.

Will looked at the death-knell beetle corpses everywhere, very reluctant, these are all glittering gold coins~!

He still said unrelentingly: "This is about to be withdrawn? ”

The squad leader looked at the piles of death knell beetles, and also smacked his tongue regretfully, and said helplessly: "The ammunition is almost exhausted, and I won't withdraw it." We're going to have to fight monsters with our teeth. ”

Will cried and said, "Then you don't want these loot?"

The squad leader also looked bitter and said, "Don't do it." ”

"It's a pity. Not to mention that this is also worth tens of thousands of gold coins, I also pointed to the bonus to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law. ”

It was as if Vir saw the golden little money waving its wings and fluttering away, and the figure of the beautiful girl in the dream was getting farther and farther away. Instead, there was a big fat girl who weighed 300 pounds, had a thick bucket waist, and had a full beard.

As a poor soldier, he is very self-aware and clearly knows that the gold coins in his pocket are directly proportional to his wife's beautiful Cheng dù.

Seeing that the soldiers were still reluctant, the company commander in front became impatient at the moment, and kept urging them loudly, "Brothers, hurry up, hurry up."

Now this is a war zone, and if you don't get back to the station before dark, once the death knell beetle is killed, everyone will have to finish the game. ”

Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but shiver.

Will took advantage of the last opportunity to pull a few more worm legs, all of which were stuck on his belt.

Then he looked at the corpses of the beetles that had piled up, muttered hatefully, kicked the corpses a few times, ran back to pick up his full backpack, carried the tripod of the machine gun, and retreated south at the same time as the men of the first battalion.

On the way to retreat, the first battalion joined up with several other battalions.

At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was early, if it used to, but the night in the Northland always came early and fast.

Patrick, the head of the regiment, Jennings, immediately ordered to build a defense on the spot, build a wall and bunker, and prepare to hold out here without a new order.

With the strength of nearly 5,000 men in his entire regiment, plus eight heavy artillery, more than a dozen light artillery, and dozens of mortars, no matter how many bugs there are, they will not want to rush through his defense line when they concentrate their firepower.

And scattering the troops, they may be broken by the insects individually.

Not to mention the support of the war fortress, and the reinforcements from the rear will arrive in less than two days.

As the whole regiment struggled to dig the earth, a dozen war fortresses roared over their heads and rushed into the depths of the northern sky.

The leading one depicts a fierce boar's head wearing a steel helmet, two fangs exposed, a half-cigar in his mouth, and a hideous scar on his left eye.

And next to the boar's head, there are several large triangular patterns with rough red crosses on them, showing that this war fortress has shot down four enemy war fortresses in battle, and is a veritable trump card.

The Fifth Flying Group, that is, the famous Pig Head Third Team. In the original battle of the maple leaf danlin, he made great achievements.

Captain Ivannatz anxiously paced back and forth in the cabin, glancing down at the ground from time to time, urging, "Haven't found it yet?"

Back to his just repeated, "No, nothing to see." ”

Evan Natz stomped his foot angrily and scolded, "Hell." ”

A war fortress sent by his men to support the northern front had just been shot down by unknown ground fire.

As the captain of the brigade, Evennatz did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the remaining war fortresses of the brigade to the battlefield as fast as possible to find the enemy who attacked them. Avenge your comrades.

When he first received the report, the first thing that came to Captain Ivanatz's mind was that they had encountered an ambush from the Undead War Fortress.

But what surprised him was. A telegram from the team that was attacked said. The blue-white ball of light that attacked them was shot from the ground.

Hence it. Ivanac had to juggle both aerial and opposing reconnaissance, looking for the enemy while guarding himself against another attack, and being cautious along the way.

But after several circles around the battlefield, they found nothing but the corpse of a black monster.

Ivinac spun back and forth a few times, doubting his men's reports that he could attack the ground fire of the war fortress. It would have to be at least the size of a cannon, and it would be impossible not to see it in the air.

In the chaos of the battlefield, it is not uncommon for front-line soldiers to missee because they are nervous. Evennatz said to himself: "Maybe it was an attack from a low altitude by the undead war fortress, and they mistakenly thought it was on the ground." ’

Just a few days ago, an undead war fortress had been destroyed on the front line, proving that there were indeed undead active here.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Send a message to the Seventh Squad and ask them where the attack came from." ”

Thanks to the radio, the air connection between the fortresses of war no longer requires flags and light signals.

A moment later. Squad 7 called back, and the squad leader reaffirmed that the attack had been launched from the ground.

At that time, he clearly saw the ball of light flying from the ground. Moreover, Ivannats can also verify with the 1st Battalion of the Skeleton Division, which was fighting on the ground at the time, and they are all eyewitnesses.

The matter was so important that Evennatz sent a telegram directly to the 1st Battalion, to which the Commander of the 1st Battalion, Vorster, replied in the affirmative, that he had personally witnessed the ball of light rising from the ground and striking the slow-moving fortress of war.

Evennatz was a little crazy, jumped in his car, grabbed the person next to him and asked, "Even if it is a magic cannon, it should be discovered, will the enemy still be invisible." ”

Unable to find someone or something that shot down the war fortress, Evennatz could not take revenge, and there was no way to write a report to the Air Force Command.

To add insult to injury, the entire flying force will have to watch out for the recurrence of the same attack, which will drive all the War Bastion commanders crazy.

After a few more circles around the battlefield, still nothing was found, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, the other squadrons asked Evennatz for instructions on what to do next, meaning to ask if they wanted to retreat temporarily.

The night in the wasteland is not good for them, and the undead are likely to take advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack.

Ivannatz was also hesitant, and he really couldn't afford to go back like this.

His lieutenant stepped forward and whispered behind the youngest group leader of the flying unit, "Is it possible that the enemy has fled north?" ”

The words woke up Evennatz that the enemy should have known that after launching an attack, he would be retaliated against, and he might have fled north long ago.

He immediately ordered: "Go two hundred miles further north, and if you haven't found it, go back." ”

A dozen war fortresses again accelerated to the north.

The sun is fading behind the ridgeline in the west, and the sky in the east is already lit up with stars.

Evennats, who had studied astronomy and astrology, could name every star, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious knowing that in half an hour it would be completely dark.

According to the speed and time estimates, they had already flown almost two hundred miles, and Captain Ivanac decided in his heart that in five minutes, he would return without finding it and ask for help from the Air Force Front Command.

"Something looks like there's something down there?" suddenly cried out the adjutant who had been watching carefully with a telescope in front of the window.

Evinac stepped forward quickly, grabbed the binoculars, and stared intently at the ground.

Following the direction indicated by the adjutant's arm, Evennatz noticed something black surging on the ground in the distance.

Evennatz frowned and said, "Is it the lake?"

It looks a lot like rough water, miles wide, and you can't see the other side of the water.

The adjutant turned around and picked up the map on the table and looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said, "The map shows that there are no lakes in this generation. Moreover, they look as if they are flowing forward. ”

Evennatz watched carefully for a moment, confirming the adjutant's statement, and what looked like a black tide was indeed moving slowly south.

Evinac nodded, sneered, and said, "We may have caught them, tell everyone to be on guard, order the first team to lower the altitude with me, let's have a high-speed clearance, and the flares are ready~!"

Evennatz led the way, and the first squad swooped downward, maintaining a blistering speed to avoid ground fire.

Above the black surging currents that rushed to the ground, flares were dropped on three war fortresses at the same time.

It is as if three small suns appeared in the sky at the same time, illuminating the ground and illuminating the Kuroshio Tide on the ground at the same time.

When they saw what was on the ground, everyone, including Evennatz, gasped - it was bugs, bugs of no bounds.

The area more than ten miles long and several miles wide is full of insects running in long jumps.

Their figures covered the land, leaving only a black, like a monstrous flood, rolling over the wasteland and sweeping southward.

It is conceivable that everywhere they go, every qiē will be gone.

Although it was too high for Evennatz to see the appearance of the bugs, judging from the huge size of some of the bugs, this was definitely more than just a kind of monster of the death knell beetle.

The adjutant slowly twisted his neck and said with a dull expression: "How many should there be, how many are there? tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?"

Ivannatz pursed his lips, his expression was solemn, he unconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes were fixed on the black insect tide on the ground, and said: "It's a big trouble, send electricity to the command headquarters, and send electricity to the army on the front line...... Hell, send a telegram to all units. We found a terrifying number of monsters moving south in the Twenty-Five, Four-Four areas, and 100,000 were in a hurry. ”

Seeing that his adjutant was still in a daze, Evan Natz yelled at him: "Don't go quickly~!"

"Yes~!" the adjutant shook and rushed to the radio room.

When he confirmed that the telegram had been received by the units in the rear, the adjutant rushed all the way back to Evennats, panting and saying, "The command has confirmed that it has been received, head, what should we do? Do you want to retreat first?"

Evinnatz shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Before we receive a new order, we must do everything we can to stop the monster from advancing.

Two hundred miles behind us, there are several army corps and tens of thousands of troops. ”
