Chapter 209: Collapse
Centered on Catrice College, in the hilly terrain within a radius of tens of kilometers, there are one abandoned village after another.
Since the land was bought by the Academy, the villages, which had been reduced to unused areas, gradually fell into ruins under the slow erosion of the years. But now, on the gentle slope near an abandoned village, a group of about twenty people was stationed in an orderly manner.
Everyone's gaze was fierce and determined, and there was an aura of alienation around them, and their identities seemed to be somewhere between a soldier and a security officer. Surrounded by scattered fragments of building materials and improvised fortifications made from simple materials, these people are using the fortifications around them to resist the enemy.
"Bastard!"
A man in the black uniform of the garrison violently swung the police dagger in his hand, leaving a deep wound on the wolf-like monster that flew towards him. Gunfire rang out around him, and his comrades were engaged with other enemies, and from time to time there were heavy explosions.
"What the hell is going on, why are there so many monsters!" The gray-clothed soldier crouching beside him shouted in surprise as he aimed at the approaching big bat with his mechanic's gun, "Isn't there already a warning ring around to expel monsters in advance? And there won't be so many monsters around here!"
There were several bloody scratches left on his thighs, which were left by the monster that the man in black had just killed with a short knife (long) (the wind died. When he ducked behind cover and tried to shoot at the figure in the distance, the monster burst out of the corner of his vision. It also left deep scars on his legs.
"Hell knows!"
The man in the black uniform roared angrily, and at the same time shot the bat in the sky with the mechanic gun in his hand, but it was easily dodged. It's obvious. These bats hovering in mid-air are the eyes and ears of the opposing party, and they provide information to the commanders of the monsters on the guardian side.
The monsters that attacked him and his comrades were very cunning, not to be correct their commanders, and he didn't know how to control them, so that they kept rushing from the dark woodland to the garrison and garrison.
What's even more incredible is that the opponent has an unusually rich variety of weapons, not only all kinds of monsters that move in the dark, but also they have powerful heavy mechanics. Worse. In the distant woods, there were clearly a few mages lurking, and every now and then they would throw a few spells to destroy the fortifications of the defending side.
"It's a terrible situation......" Curt, who was hiding in the bushes not far away, looked at the guards who were being suppressed by the attackers. He said with a little concern, "Looking at their uniforms, most of them are combatants of the garrison, and the rest are probably sent by the garrison to assist in the defense." ”
He and Lizzie heard the sound and rushed to the scene. That's what it looks like here. The defenders in charge of guarding this line are struggling to deal with many times the number of enemies.
Terrorism is one of the hard-line demonstrations of the minority, which means that terrorists will not attack from the front. After all, in terms of numbers, it is the regular army that has the upper hand, and if the terrorists choose to attack head-on, sooner or later they will be suppressed before the larger numbers.
Therefore, for terrorists who are in the minority, the most effective means is guerrilla warfare. Adopting a tactic that emphasizes one-hit detachment, concentrating combat power to annihilate the target in one fell swoop, and then disengaging and repeating this step, eventually disarming the regular army, which has to protect more, is incapacitated.
In this regard, the opposing garrisons and soldiers must have sufficient mobility. If the war is to be fought for a long time, the equipment and tactics needed to fight from the front must be completely ignored. At the same time, short-term pursuit warfare and encirclement warfare are used. Or the equipment and tactics needed for a mopping up operation as the core.
But...... The situation now seems to be reversed, with terrorists, who should be a minority group, numerically suppressing the combination of garrisons and garrisons.
Frequent events around the Carteris. It started with dozens of small groups coming together, and they were clearly tightly organized. Although the attrition of each battle can be controlled within a small range, the corresponding garrisons and garrisons for this purpose are always in the middle of the battle.
A handful of terrorists have fled, and then when the defenders try to pursue, an attacking enemy will appear. Of course, this would not be considered to be the work of another organization, but the equipment and tactics they used on the ground were very different from the previous ones, so the encirclement and suppression were extremely inefficient.
As a result, the strength of the garrison and the army will continue to be depleted, as short-term tactical equipment will be reduced in combat effectiveness due to continued delays. This has created a de facto situation in which there are many enemies, and even on the part of countries with superior logistics and materials, they will be unable to act.
"It's like binge. ”
Lizzie nodded, and stood in the treetops looking out at the battle on the gentle slope: "None of the monsters that appear here are directly affected by the spell, but it's clear that they are all trained by professionals to know who to attack and who not to attack, and they will cooperate with each other. ”
These attackers have a meticulous network, and each part has a system of synergy with each other, or rather, there is a mastermind behind these organizations who looks down on the whole situation and gives instructions, and this mastermind knows the situation quite well.
Of course, this kind of thing can't happen by accident, but trying to train monsters and manipulate them is not an easy thing to do. Most of the monsters are more intelligent than ordinary beasts, but while they have a certain amount of intelligence, they also know better how to take advantage and avoid harm.
Lizzie is very interested in the means by which the mastermind behind the scenes can control these monsters as they please, but while she observes the situation with great interest, the situation is unfolding in an increasingly unfavorable direction. The encirclement of the monsters gradually narrowed, and the guards and soldiers were exhausted.
"Damn it...... It is already surrounded, and there is no way to get reinforcements at all. One of the guards gasped, having been scarred from the previous battle, "Even if the situation is unclear, even the motives of the enemy are unknown, we are simply being led by the nose." ”
They act only after receiving orders, so it is not clear to them who will benefit from this chaos. It's just a subordinate ant who executes orders, and if they don't seek knowledge, then they may be thousands of miles away from the so-called "truth".
Even if they were to die on the lines of this abandoned village tonight, they probably didn't know who they were fighting against, and what they were fighting for.
So in this helpless situation, the soldiers can only keep pulling the trigger and waving their weapons to meet the almost endless monsters. It's as if they're wandering in a dark labyrinth with no exit in sight, and it's no surprise that they'll feel tired from it.
Listening to the whispers of their comrades, the soldiers embraced and spilled their anger out on their enemies. Just as they continued to shoot out the machine's ammunition, they suddenly heard a dull loud noise that was not the roar of the explosion, it was almost like a direct earthquake.
The ground shook for a while, and the gentle slope seemed to be lifted by an invisible big hand, and then the big hand wanted to throw it casually, and let it fall directly.
"What are you doing...... I see, it is said that the tiger is diverted from the mountain, but the scale is a little too large, and it is almost in a position to annihilate these guards. ”
The first to come back to her senses was Lizzie, who completely ignored the situation on the gentle slope and jumped from the treetops to Curt's side before giving birth to a shock: "I thought that the ultramarines were all smart people, but it seems that there is still an idiot who likes to do stupid things underground." ”
Lizzie glanced in disgust at the dark shadow on the gentle slope, which was the Waikias Monastery she had visited, which was supposed to be under the tripartite protection of the garrison, the academy, and the garrison. It's just that tonight is probably going to be the last night it will survive in this world.
In the next moment when Lizzie sighed.
A heavy roar rang out from the ground, followed by a slow rise like ice floe, and the monastery of Wigias began to crumble. I saw that the huge building, which had been abandoned by the believers for a long time, tilted sharply and gradually fell apart.
The tall buildings collapsed very quickly, and the bell tower, the monastery and some of the other towers began to collapse in the blink of an eye, and not even the walls were spared.
The guards who noticed the sudden loud noise all showed panicked expressions, and there were terrorist activities and accidents that were already unpeaceful here tonight, so the guards were always in a high state of tension, but even they probably wouldn't have expected such a large-scale collapse.
One of the soldiers hurriedly ducked through the cracks in the ground and shouted, "What the hell is going on, everyone!
The tremors remained within a tolerable range, and before they reached the point of the earthquake, only the monastery and the surrounding parts were gradually collapsing. Based on the scale of this collapse, the underground of the Waiguias Monastery may now be a hollow, so that it cannot bear the weight above.
"Look over there. ”
Lizzie murmured and pointed to the Abbey.
With the tower at the highest point as the center, there are tens, hundreds, thousands of large and small cracks all around...... I saw the black lines of collapse all over the ground and buildings. Something kept falling in the smoke with a lot of dust, and the roar was accompanied by the dust splashing everywhere.
Thundered
The collapse showed no signs of stopping, and by the time everyone came to their senses, the damage had reached a state of no return, and in the midst of the ruins, a huge stone statue was slowly raising its head. (To be continued......)
