689. What about the ace crew? Save it with gold bullets!
The situation in the Black Flame Pass was already in a rout, and the Shadow Valley was also busy, especially after the first batch of evacuated civilians explained the situation, and the KPA soldiers who were recuperating here immediately reacted.
They knew the time had come for His Excellency the Governor's plan.
There was no need for further explanation, and the KPA immediately mobilized with commanders at all levels, some of them went to the Black Flame Pass to meet the evacuees, and the other part stayed here to prepare to maintain order.
This was Master Murphy's final order to the Cadman People's Army before his assassination, and they must protect this lifeline.
The Black Flame Pass can be destroyed, but the warriors who defend it must be withdrawn and save these living forces so that Transcia can have a better chance of victory against the Gnoll army in the future.
Ms. Villansor, who was sent back in advance, also gave a rally and rescue mission to all the players currently in the Shadow Valley.
The good news is that this is the "Main City of the Black Calamity Frontline", so there are quite a few players.
The bad news is that it is really difficult for players with mixed numbers of seven or eight hundred to play a role in a desperate flop before the fall of the Black Flame Pass, and there may be some hope for a tenfold expansion.
However, a group of veteran Thunder Commanders who had been practicing operating the steam walker in the Valley of Shadows during this time also received an order, which made them immediately agitated.
The guy with the ID name "Hell Tiger" excitedly stood on the walking machine belonging to his three-man crew, and carried out an impassioned pre-war mobilization of a total of fifteen personnel in five car groups.
In the past few days, they have completed the "painting" of this walker.
The shell was dyed red, a five-pointed star was painted on it, and the front of the car was painted with a tiger head logo with teeth and claws in a very artistic gesture, and the other four walking machines have also been preliminarily transformed.
Although there is no halfling rapid-fire cannon, fortunately, there is no shortage of automatic hunting crossbows.
Therefore, the weapon platforms of the other four walkers were all equipped with two hunting crossbows, and the group of "big technographers" under the command of Brother Loyal were invited over, and the rear and front of the walkers were given rather rough but barely usable flamethrowers.
Judging from the perspective of war vehicles, these five walkers are out-and-out semi-finished products, except for being flexible enough and barely maintaining the thickness of the armor, they are all poor in other aspects.
However, the old drivers never care what kind of car they drive, for them, the operation of dominating the battlefield with the tiger style is nothing, and taking Xiaodouding and Sherman to wear twenty is a real skill worth boasting about.
Therefore, when the "Promised Day" arrives when it will finally be possible to set foot on the battlefield with the walking machine named "Mechanical Tiger", these warmongers are really fanatical.
"Come on, bring plenty of ammunition, brothers! Burn those gnolls to ashes with our mighty Tiger Walker! ”
The Helltiger standing on the outer shell of the walker waved his left hand and shouted, and the other fourteen people responded, and then quickly climbed onto the walker in groups of three.
In the uncomfortable, unfinished crew seats, the guys had to "arm themselves", because the original defensive shell of the walker had been removed when it was delivered, so they had to put on plate armor to protect themselves.
The combination of this scene is hell!
A group of medieval-style plate armor cans manipulated six-legged, smoking-black "steam tanks", and in the noisy sound of mechanical clicking, these large spider-like war weapons left the training ground, and prepared to leave the valley through the portal amid the exclamations of the surrounding little players.
"Come up! All come up! How long do you have to run on two legs? ”
The Hell Tiger manipulated his beloved "No. 1 Mechanical Tiger" to run forward, and shouted to the veteran players beside him:
"Come up on a couple of hunters! Just sit on the shell and rush with us, take out all your weapons of the greatest caliber, and prepare explosives by the way, just to add a little deterrent to our little baby with poor firepower! ”
"Damn, you're treating us like 'human reactive armor'!"
The "Ruthless Horse Fork" and "One Punch Blowing the Milky Way" below were not interested in this fatal invitation, but they still couldn't resist the heartfelt love of the men in their hearts for large machines such as excavators, and half-pushed and half-pushed their team members to climb onto the shell of the walker.
Like a classic photograph of the Red Army soldiers who stormed Berlin, these guys on walking machines are trying to make themselves majestic.
Of course, their posture is full of all kinds of explosives, which makes this scene indeed full of "explosive" deterrent.
The "number one war correspondent" Daen, who never misses any powerful scenes, stood aside and showed the audience on the Telencia Bistro APP the newly arrived "weapons of war" from the perspective of the live broadcast.
Although the audience had known that the Translancians had such an unscientific thing as a steam airship, they still couldn't help but let out a burst of screams when they saw the strange walking machine.
A few veteran players stepped forward to fix the Scarlet Battle Banner of Transencia to the tail of the Walker, and these big steel guys will definitely take on the duty of charging into battle in a while, and the fluttering of these flags can also effectively boost the morale of the battlefield.
However, just as everyone was getting ready to go, a huge scarlet portal suddenly lit up high in the Valley of Shadows, and then, in full view of everyone, Master Murphy, who had put on the heavy blood vulture armor for the first time, flapped his wings and flew out of it.
Titled "The Crimson King", this set of armor comes from the collection of Sarlokdal and is one of the armors created by the Brass Dwarven Lord himself for the vampire Grand Dukes during the Fourth Black Calamity.
Needless to say, the superb quality and cool appearance make the sissy Murphy have a sense of majesty after wearing it, but Murphy, who has always been dexterous, doesn't like this kind of heavy armor very much, which will limit his flexibility.
However, Tris insisted that he wear it, otherwise he would not be allowed to go into battle, as the "Crimson King" armor comes with a "Dispel Aura" that forcibly dispels shadows, prevents all Assassins from stealth, and dispels most of the curse effects imposed on Murphy.
Although in Murphy's opinion, if he was assassinated by the golden man like before, this suit of armor would not be able to save his life.
But it was always reassuring to wear, and he didn't want to off Tracey when she had just slept with her. He's not a vampire scumbag, is he? You have to take care of your girlfriend's feelings.
"Bang"
The iconic inferno dive landed Murphy in front of a vampire colonel of the People's Army, and the otherwise light landing took on a heavy impact, and as his wings closed, the colonel in front of him immediately saluted his master with a crisp military salute and handed him the commander's flag.
But Murphy refused.
He didn't come here as a commander.
"The Black Flame Pass will fall today."
Murphy turned, and he looked at the NPCs and players behind him.
All eyes are on him, and everyone is listening to what the main NPCs have to say.
He proclaimed a brutal truth, but then Murphy exclaimed:
"But we're not going to stop fighting! We don't give up! Without the Black Flame Pass, there is still the Valley of Shadows! There is no Valley of Shadows, and there are filthy swamps! No more filthy swamps, and the Maginot Line!
We'll fight the Gnolls at the first place they advance! We're going to strangle every gnoll thug we meet!
Until they learn to be afraid!
Or the last of us to die on our land.
Soldiers, I need you to come with me now to fight the arrogant gnolls and rescue my fearful comrades! ”
Murphy's gaze swept over the crowd in front of him, and he paused and asked:
"Does anyone want to quit at this time?"
No one responded.
Until the Helltiger shouted at the top of his voice in his crew compartment:
"Crush them!"
In the next moment, a loud battle cry resounded in the sky:
"Crush them!"
——
Lord Heather fought desperately.
The Blood Alliance knights under her command also ignored the exhausting fighting, and the firepower of Position Eight finally came in handy for the first time, and it seemed that Heather's bad luck had finally run out, allowing good fortune to befall her position for the first time today.
After several factors were superimposed, the evacuation also went smoothly.
The Black Flame Pass is garrisoned by elite soldiers, the kind with a high degree of organization, and even the retreat under the crisis is orderly.
Position Six held off the gnolls, and under the cover of artillery fire, the warriors rushed backwards like a tide from Position Seven, and the squirrels ran to get out of the area before anything worse happened.
But the gnolls certainly won't let them evacuate so easily.
Seeing that the armed kobolds were blocked by artillery fire and could not complete the task of blocking the enemy, the Archoverseer of Xugesen immediately activated the second method, and the Claw Splitting Clan never lacked psychic masters who were skilled in meteorite art, so under its silent order, meteorites falling from the sky soon rumbled forward.
The Earth Priests were too busy assisting in the retreat to interfere with the meteorites' landing.
And as the No. 8 artillery position, which was in the limelight in the past few tens of minutes, it was natural to get the "jackpot" in this wave of meteorite frenzy.
Several meteorites smashed accurately on the artillery position of Position 8, and a round of bombardment made the roaring cannon dumb fire.
The grizzled Major Ron quickly crawled out of the smashed command post, and he could see at a glance the badly damaged appearance of his good brothers.
This got Ron on on the head.
With red eyes, he brandished his command knife and shouted, reorganizing the soldiers around him who had survived the meteorite bombardment, the artillery position was huge, and the meteorite of the jackals could not completely destroy it, so a few minutes later, the roar of shells sounded on the battlefield.
The armed kobolds who had just prepared for a surprise attack ushered in another artillery fire.
This scene made Xu Gesen frown, raised his finger and shook it fiercely, so that the Claw Splitting Psionists knew what to do next.
"A meteorite is coming!"
The roar of the captain of the iron hand made the soldiers raise their heads,
They were desperate to see more meteorites falling from high altitudes, and this time with a more precise landing, targeting a position that was still firing constantly.
The time between the spawning and the fall of the meteorite would not exceed three minutes, which was not enough time for Major Ron to organize the evacuation of the soldiers.
Ron sighed as he saw the meteorite fall on him overhead.
He would have regretted very much that he hadn't written a suicide note when he saw Fraser write a suicide note.
Although his father never valued himself as a second son, and his relationship with his father was not very warm, but if he left so suddenly, probably his general father and his mother who cherished him would also feel sad, right?
"This is the last shot in my short but brilliant life."
Major Ron shrugged his shoulders, ignoring the large meteorite that was sliding down at high speed above his head, and he stepped forward to dispel the soldiers who were preparing to fire, and quickly increased the elevation angle of the gun with the help of the iron captain.
Just now, he used the telescope to lock on to the position of the Gnoll's middle army, although it was difficult to achieve accurate killing at this distance.
But if it's the last shot of your life.
Fuck the artillery code!
Lao Tzu can fight wherever he wants!
"Fire!"
At Ron's roar, Captain Iron Captain lit the fuse, and the meteorite in the sky was less than five hundred meters above the ground, and the scorching heat could be felt overhead even above the position.
But the major didn't care about any of that.
He just grabbed the telescope and watched the trajectory of his own cannonball.
It was like a furious warhammer thrown by a giant, howling across the sky, crossing Position Six with the manipulator's fury and murderous intent, and plunging headlong into the gnoll's army as Ron expected it with the roar of death.
Unfortunately, the landing was a bit off the beaten track and he didn't hit the Gnoll's Overseer's Banner.
"Alas, it's wrong, it seems that there is no good luck today."
Ron pursed his lips and leaned against the cannon that was still emitting gunsmoke and closed his eyes to death, while in the gnolls in front of Position Six, Grand Overseer Hurgeson was speechless as he watched the cannonball that had just slashed ten meters past him.
The thing smashed two of its own guards to death before it exploded, and then swept several Claw-Splitting Psionics who were invoking meteorite into a burst of fire.
Is the artillery on the opposite side so powerful?
The silent gnolll Xu Gesen thought to himself, or was that guy just pure luck?
Hey, it doesn't matter, this round of meteorites will allow them to say goodbye to this world that has never been gentle forever.
"We're going to die, Iron Hand, won't we say something?"
Major Ron, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, was still complaining.
As a result, the next moment, a cold hand was placed on his shoulder, and a familiar voice spoke:
"Well shot! If you can tweak the angle, you might be able to take out the Gnoll Overseers, but unfortunately you only have one chance. ”
"Huh?"
Ron opened his eyes in surprise and looked back.
Governor Murphy, who had been missing for days, was standing behind him, and not far behind him, a strange black obelisk was floating in the air, releasing some invisible energy.
Dozens of soldiers, including Captain Iron Hand, looked up at the top of their heads stupidly, and Ron also looked up, surprised to see that the large meteorite that should have stoned himself to death and destroyed this position by the way was being steadily "erected" in the air.
It's like an invisible hand holding it up, and it also holds death and destruction.
"You owe me your life, so now you have to do my bidding! Listen, keep firing before you guys are destroyed! Of course, if I were you, I would go to those permanent forts on the battlefield and manipulate the artillery.
Are you stupid?
Your dad sent you here to show you courage, not to send you to death. ”
Murphy grumbled, reaching out and pulling the vulture shield off his visor, holding the Scarlet Witch Chainsaw Sword that began to hum.
Behind him, the 2,000 Cadman People's Army vampire warriors had spread their wings at dusk, while the restless little players rushed out of the rear in a crowd of five strange large steam walkers.
The number of people who came to help was not much, and there were only more than 3,000 people when they were full.
But with the entire position retreating, the Transansians who were advancing in the opposite direction and waving the blood-colored battle banner were so conspicuous that the panic of the soldiers around them contrasted sharply with the excitement and aggressiveness on the faces of these guys.
It was as if the Transians were not going to a mortal arena, but to a warrior's feast.
The Transians did not ask the retreating warriors to return to the battlefield with them, but as Murphy flew forward with the vampires of the People's Army, and the Gentiles shouted for the Kill the Gnolls, many of the Henchmen turned silently.
They knew that they couldn't change the outcome of the Black Flame Pass if they went back, and it was the best choice to evacuate at this time.
But man is such a contradictory creature.
You know what's right, but a lot of times you don't go that way.
They silently followed the Trancian banners back into battle, and after the roaring roster of the walkers, they raised their weapons against the rioting armed kobolds.
Finally, they let out their duely war-cries and straightened up and raised their middle fingers at the onrushing death.
It was a failure.
But no one has a rule to lay down your arms after a defeat
They're not dead yet.
So they have to keep fighting!
For the sake of the dead, and for the sake of the living.
