The Marks of Fate Chapter 58: The Song of Purgatory (6)

Paulsen is forty-six years old and has served in the army for thirty years. In addition to bullet marks and scars, the face covered with vicissitudes is full of criss-crossed wrinkles and age spots under the loose skin.

Years of military service have been crushing his body, making him look much older than his colleagues who sit in the office for many years.

In fact, he should have reached the age of retirement, and in fact, the dense dark wounds on his body can also allow him to submit a transfer report more than once.

But β€” Paulson didn't do that.

War had become the whole of his life.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to live a peaceful life without the flames of war. The kind of boring life of eating "pension" meaninglessly and slowly waiting for death to come.

Thinking about such a scene, Paulson felt uncomfortable.

It is only when this "black coffin" is lifted. He found the full meaning of life.

This equipment that has been improved countless times, this weapon that has accompanied him countless days and nights, this "old man" who has accompanied him to death; Another earth-shattering roar!

In the scorching light, Paulson's whole person was bathed in strong lethal rays, and the whole person seemed to return to his youth, his face was full of wrinkles, and his whole face was full of bloodthirst, excitement, and a pilgrimage redemption smile.

The pulse lasts for a short time, not even a second; At the moment when the first pulse ray is discharged, the muzzle of the gun shifts, and there are two slight pauses in the process, and the two pulse rays are discharged.

The direction of the ray is a tanker truck parked at the back of the garage.

A huge fireball rose into the air. The shock wave swept and swayed, pushing everything within a radius of tens of meters sideways like an invisible hand. Several light infantry vehicles that bore the brunt of the explosion were swept into the air and flew into the sky. The garage was like a castle of sand, crumbling in the blazing flames.

Although Paulson's lurking place was more than a kilometer from the square, the wind was already full of heat and scorch. In fact, this round of explosion, except for the first few combat vehicles, the farther combat vehicles were unscathed, and their heavy armor could withstand the direct fire of heavy artillery, not to mention an oil and gas explosion.

But the crew who received the alarm signal and ran quickly was not so lucky. Steel tools can withstand hundreds or thousands of degrees of heat, but flesh cannot. One by one, the fireballs that turned into flames were swept away by the shockwave that followed, and they didn't know where they flew.

The sound of artillery is the clarion call for attack.

They are all partners who have been born and died for more than ten years. At the first sound of the cannon, Guy sped along the edge of the slippery ridge, his speed so fast that he even ran unhindered on the intricate road full of obstacles in the darkness.

His men stayed, quickly retreating down the downhill path, looking for a suitable position to block the attack. Only a shadow followed his man.

Paulsen became the most striking beacon on the ocean. One can imagine how ferocious and explosive the subsequent trailing attacks will be. Ordinary soldiers do not have the extraordinary abilities of their nanomachine carriers, so they can only fight far away from them.

Only two veterans remained, and in addition to the veterans, there were also ammunition that had been transported by manpower, and boxes were neatly placed at their feet.

After a round of pulse blows, Paulson couldn't get tired and stabbed an energy potion into the carotid artery. At the same time, the two deputies methodically filled a spindle-shaped cannonball painted with red paint into the "coffin" equipment in Paulson's hand.

The blue coil faded and dimmed. Having lost the support of sci-fi camouflage, the "black coffin" has now become an ordinary portable cannon.

Barely aiming, the shells came out of their disembowels, flickering in the darkness.

The shells smashed through the glass curtain wall and landed unmistakably into a factory, causing a group of turbochargers to bear the brunt of the attack, shattering thick metal pipes and flying large expanses of steam and countless parts, and the surrounding staff were unable to dodge and swept down a large area.

Paulsen opened fire indiscriminately in the rear.

As for the base, during the first round of attacks, the whole thing was moving, and several jeeps full of armed men were driving towards this side of the hill. The soldiers patrolling the garrison company hunched over and fanned out the shells where they were fired. They sprinted along the trail, avoiding their own minefields. The sporadic gunfire suddenly became intense, and the special operators who had been waiting for it at the foot of the hill launched the first round of blockade.

By the time you were coming and going, attracting everyone's attention, Gu Yi had already run out for more than a kilometer, and his trajectory had arced along the opposite base. His lips were pursed, his tongue kept stirring and changing directions, and suddenly a sharp whistle that could not be heard by the naked ear stirred out of his mouth, and the trigger mechanism was broken by the anti-infantry mines along the way.

Shabana galloped through the safe passage opened by her husband. Compared to her husband, she is slightly slower, and she can't walk on the ground like Gu Yi in difficult terrain. Both of them choose to focus on and bias the needs of special operations in terms of ability matching, but they are not identical, but complementary types. So because of the different emphasis, the two also have advantages and disadvantages in stealth, but the gap is not very big.

Suddenly, Gu Yi in front of him stopped.

Not far in front of him, on the top of a mountain, frequent fires suddenly flickered.

The opponent's artillery position, found!

The two were three kilometers apart, and at such a short distance, the bulky and thick heavy artillery could not be activated at all, and on the opposite side were small-caliber howitzers and rapid-fire guns.

A faint sense of oppression immediately appeared in the night sky. Almost all living beings had a premonition of the coming crisis. With his keen battlefield instincts, Paulson, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, suddenly closed the "black coffin" in the state of separation and shooting in his hand a second before launching from the opposite side, turning into a thick shield and standing horizontally in front of him.

The carved patterns on the shield, which had been thought to be decorative patterns, lit up one by one, and the void in front of him flickered with ripples, and an invisible At force field propped up in front of it.

Compared to the force field used to defend against bullets before, this force field like a substance is thicker and more stable, surging power and solid heaviness.

A shrill whistling sound streaked across the distance between the two sides, and a hail of shells continued to pound the defensive field. The power of the explosion covered the entire hill top. The impact wave overturned the grass, trees, and soil within tens of meters. The whole ground trembled slightly.

Hundreds of shells fell densely into this small hill. In the incessant roar, all living things were blown to pieces. Only a small handful of land protected by a small bright yellow light mask remained untouched.

Paulson swept the dust off his head, and his originally standing body fell to one knee as if he couldn't bear it, gasping for breath. The years were unforgiving, and the small-scale shelling of this density actually broke his will.

Two veterans who had been hiding behind them and had eaten a nose of ash hurriedly came up to nurse them. Otherwise, in the current state of old Paulson, he would not be able to resist another round of shelling.

In the distance, he found the hideous fangs of Gu Yi in the opposite artillery position.

The position is located on a flat hill, which has a great view but is not particularly prominent, and the surrounding buildings and mountain peaks are well used to hide the traces.

Guy drew his long knife and walked up the hill, and when he revealed his hidden form, two soldiers passed by him as if no one was around, carrying heavy bombs one after another. When the optical camouflage faded, even though the night was still thick, the soldiers were stunned as if they had just woken up from a dream, and the shells in their hands slipped silently.

The shells slipped along with the silent flash of the knife.

Whewβ€”β€”

Blood splattered, and the wails of tragic death were mixed with cries of despair.

The two long knives were in Gu Yi's hands, working like clouds and water, and the sharp blades were pale and brighter than the moonlight falling in the sky. Most of the work here is gunners, but there are also a small number of porters, and there are simply not enough automated weapons to resist, except for the officers' pistols, even if it is only one person on the other side.

There were still two platoons of alert troops below the hillside, but when Shabana came up with a blood-stained dagger. You can imagine the image of corpses strewn all over the field.

When two high-ranking nanomachine powerhouses joined forces to slaughter these ordinary soldiers, they didn't even have room to resist.

In just seven minutes, under the efficient and tacit cooperation of the two couples, most of the gunners were killed, and a small part fled. There were more than 50 light and heavy guns scattered on the position, and each one was separated by a safe distance, so that no matter which gun was attacked and blown up, it could not affect the vicinity. For this reason, it is still a difficult task to blast and destroy such a large number of artillery pieces in a short period of time. But fortunately, both of them are capable people. What is difficult for ordinary people, it is relatively simple for them.

They slipped shells into the chambers of each cannon, a move that wasted them three minutes, and then they all stood on the edge of the cliff. Gu Yi raised his hand, and an invisible but substantial torque rushed out in all directions. Within a radius of several hundred meters, the triggers of countless shells were artificially forcibly detonated.

In the brilliant explosion, the two jumped without thinking.

The cliff is not high, about only eleven or twelve meters, and Gu Yi opened his hands, and without sliding wings, he gradually fell into the air. Sabana put her hands on her husband's shoulders as they descended at a steady and slow pace down the cliff.

The fire is blazing above, and the mountain breeze is chilling below.

At this time of alternating hot and cold, the expression that was originally slightly joyful because of the sneak attack was gently blown away by the wind. Battle-hardened, they have captured a hint of something unusual.

A dark shadow streaked by, and although it was still impossible to see what it was, its terrifying lethality could be felt from the faint sharp whistling and the cool breeze passing across its face.

Seeing that he was about to land, there was a miserable scream from his wife behind him.

A jumble of electric light shot out in all directions, and something came out of the shadows and stood in mid-air.

"Shabana!" Gu Yi reflexively hugged his wife, it was a slippery and greasy feeling as far as his hand could reach, and when he raised his hand, under the moonlight, he clearly saw the blood on his hand.

Sabana's face turned pale, her lips pursed, and it took a lot of strength to slowly open her mouth, "I'm fine, be careful of the enemy." ”

Guy gently placed her on the ground, pulled out two long knives with his backhand, and stared at the man in front of him in a burgundy suit and a gentleman's haircut.

The man in the suit flicked the flesh foam stained in his long nails, and the whole person was wrapped around the paralyzing electricity that suddenly emitted when Shabana was attacked, but the electricity that could bring down an entire African elephant seemed to have little effect on the man.

"Bastard!" Like an enraged lion, his hair stood on end, and his entire body was enveloped in a fierce momentum, turning into a sharp sword and slashing out.

At this time, one shell came first!

"Let's go!" A roar came from behind, and it was Paulson's hysterical call.

Gu Yi's eyes struggled, and his forward body suddenly stopped, and the shockwave of the explosion was still rushing in front of him. This is on the battlefield, and the time left for hesitation is almost measured in milliseconds. Despite his anger, he chose to obey the order.

Reflexively, he picked up his seriously injured wife and quickly retreated to the rear.

On the opposite side, Paulson continued to output firepower to suppress the opposite side and cover the retreat of his own personnel.

There was another scream nearby.

The bodies of the special combat team members were completely dissected, blood was dripping down, and a fiery red figure continued to harvest their own team members hiding nearby. But at the moment, Paulson couldn't take care of them anymore.

Boom! The fragile defensive force field around them was completely torn apart, and the two veterans rushed forward with automatic rifles, but their sacrifices did not stop even a second on the opposite side.

Paulson waved his hand, and the heavy equipment in his left hand smashed over, with a thousand pounds. A slender jade hand stretched out and caught it steadily. The moment the two sides touched, an invisible high-frequency oscillation wave diffused, and Paulson was like a cannonball being sent flying.

The body that flew out popped out hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, and it didn't slow down until it broke a big tree with a thick embrace, and with a bang, a shallow pit was plowed into the ground.

Paulson struggled to his feet, moaning and screaming at every bone in his body, and his muscles ached terribly. If it weren't for the highly effective and advanced protective equipment on his body, he would be lying on the ground at this moment. But now it's not much better, the armor made of high-density materials has begun to crack, and in this case, it is estimated that it will not be able to prevent the next sharp attack.

Paulson is a military talent, and going it alone is not his forte.

Skaya didn't give the other side any respite at all, and flew directly over, gently pressing the void with one hand, and the surging magnetic field storm was forming under a pair of white jade green Qian's hands.

Close, close.

Paulsen raised the "black coffin" as a last resort, and the primer of the shell had already been ignited, burning inside the narrow barrel. Skaya's lips rose with a shallow sneer.

Just as the twins burst out with the final blow, ripples reverberated in the air between the two. A man rushed out of nothingness.

.........

Off the coast of Kavendi.

A huge black shadow glides gently across the sea, leaving behind a 20-meter-wide blue-black waterway.

This is a Traxton-class cruiser, with a displacement of 9,000 tons and a hull of 180 meters, which is heading at full speed of 30 knots towards the once busy port of Wilt. Now the port is in ruins, but the purpose of their trip is not this, but the rear, more vast city - Jingjiang.

The radio was absolutely silent, with even minimal noise. The captain and deputy captain and officers of the bridge stood in silence, no one spoke or whispered, and the employees buried their heads in what they were doing.

Like a ghost, the battleship sailed silently along the fairway.

What used to be a busy offshore area is now rarely seen by ships, so they don't worry about being spotted at all. Of course, under strong force, it doesn't matter if it is discovered. The 127-mm gun can sweep away all unsightly targets within 15 km.

"Captain, Major Paulson has sent orders." A young female assistant walked briskly in her high heels and handed a copy of the order to the white-haired officer in a crisp white military uniform.

The officer took a cursory look and replied, "Tell him that in five hours we will attack!" ”
