Chapter 61: Arrival in Montenegro
On the edge of the Dark Valley, the Black Mountain Fortress.
Endless monsters encircled the entire fortress, like an island in the black sea, constantly being beaten by the endless waves.
In mid-air, golden-red meteorite meteors and azure thunder cannonballs pierced the sky, and the battlefield roared and crackled one after another, but eventually it was covered by the screams of monsters.
The four walls of the fortress have been almost completely covered by monsters, and mountains of flesh composed of monsters cling to the walls like creeper vines, spreading upward.
After the monster reached the top of the city wall, it was quickly torn apart by the human soldiers with large knives and spears in their hands, and a large number of monster corpses mixed with human soldiers poured down from the city wall like raindrops, smashing into the black wave at the bottom, and were swallowed silently, splashing half of the waves, leaving only the increasingly thick smell of blood in the air.
"Retreat!"
A loud shout resounded on the city walls, and the soldiers close to the piers hurriedly retreated after hearing the order, and just retreated, countless thunderbolts began to flicker on the four walls, and the cold fortress walls turned into hot barbecue trays in an instant, and the sound of electricity was connected.
The flesh of the monsters clinging to the wall turned into charred corpses under the thunder, and fell one after another, and the thunder lasted for about ten seconds before gradually subsided, and at this time there was no trace of any monsters on the wall, leaving only the dark red blood stains that covered the entire city wall and the deep coke accumulated under the root of the wall, and the thick black smoke rose from these cokes and went straight to the sky.
In the billowing black smoke, a pair of scarlet eyes opened, like evil ghosts from hell, slowly rising into the black smoke, and it was the monsters who stepped on the corpses of their kind to start another siege.
"How long will it be before those dragon-slaying allies arrive?"
Suspended on the large flying ship above the battlefield, Thorne looked down at the tragic offensive and defensive battle below, frowning, this was the third monster siege in a week, and the monster's attack became more and more fierce every time, close to madness.
Even as the commander-in-chief, he is now suffering a lot of injuries, the lava armor on his body is densely covered with large and small holes, and the flame cloak behind him is only half of it, although he looks embarrassed, the blazing aura that lingers on his body is getting stronger and stronger, even to the extent of distorting the air around him.
Rebecca, who had been following him all the time, felt the heat gradually boiling in the air, and retreated some distance before feeling a little better, and after hearing Thorne's question, she looked up at the sky and replied:
"It should be there before noon."
"Noon?" Thorne's brow furrowed even tighter, it was about an hour before noon.
"Let the Purgatory Army all prepare, and prepare to anchor in ten minutes!"
After receiving the order, Rebecca did not act, but looked worriedly at the magma that began to flow on Thorne's armor, although frequent battles will make the strength of the Purgatory Army continue to increase, but after exceeding a certain limit, they will be in danger of self-immolation, especially as the coach, Thorne, his current temperature is on the verge of limit.
"General, you can't go to war anymore, if you continue like this..."
Before Rebecca could finish her admonition, she was interrupted by Thorne's shouting.
"Go quickly, this is a military order, understand! Lao Tzu didn't die so easily. ”
"Yes."
Rebecca left, Thorne continued to look down at the battle below, but a faint white smoke had begun to rise from the guardrail pressed by his palm, and black scorch marks appeared on the edge of his palm, just touching it could cause such an effect, and the temperature on Thorne's body could be imagined.
A few minutes later, Rebecca returned, standing quietly behind Thorne, even if her smooth forehead was covered with beads of sweat, she had no intention of retreating, as a scholar, her physical fitness was not outstanding, not to mention that the current Thorne was comparable to a living soldering iron.
Time passed quickly in the silence, estimated that ten minutes were almost the time, Thorne glanced at Rebecca, who had been standing silently beside him, a hint of softness flashed between his eyebrows, but it was soon covered by the surging battle intent, and he let go of the palm pressed on the guardrail, he turned and walked towards the position of the anchor, and at the same time a loud shout was heard throughout the ship.
"All the Purgatory Army, get ready to anchor!!"
"Wait, General!"
Thorne's forward steps paused, and Rebecca's cry of surprise came from behind him:
"General, reinforcements have arrived."
Thorne suddenly turned around, and saw a fleet of flying ships in the distance approaching rapidly from the sky, led by three large armed spaceships, of which the one on the right was the most advanced, and was almost close to the sky above the battlefield.
Thorne looked intently, and on the bow of the flying ship opposite, a familiar figure dressed in a black coat gradually became clear.
"Fire?"
………
On the Sun, Xu Yue stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at the endless black tide below, his eyes were cold.
"Magic energy cannon preparation."
The sound of mechanical operation came from under his feet, the front end of the hull of the Eternal Sun unfolded, a huge cannon barrel stretched out from the inside of the hull, and countless dense inscriptions on the cannon began to light up one by one, and the white light gathered at the muzzle, becoming more and more dazzling.
"Put!"
"Boom!!"
After a roar, the Chasing Sun shook violently, and a huge pillar of light that penetrated the sky fell from the flyship to the center of the demon tide, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in this white light that shone brightly in the sky, and then a giant mushroom cloud more than 100 meters high rose on the battlefield, and the surging smoke and dust continued to expand along with the air waves.
Within the mushroom cloud, all the monsters in the coverage area have all turned into powder at the moment when the pillar of light landed, and an ugly crater was left on the ground.
The sound of the paradise prompt in Xu Yue's ears was non-stop, and the blow just now killed hundreds of monsters, and there were countless heavy injuries.
It's just that there is no sign of a fire below, and this kind of large armed equipment does not seem to be within the judgment range of the steel chewing talent.
The sound of mechanical operation sounded again under the feet, and the main cannon began to retract for maintenance and cooling, while the power of the magic energy main cannon was exaggerated, its use limit was also not small, and it would take at least six hours to recover after a cannon was blasted out to ensure that the barrel was cooled down and would not explode in the next attack.
However, although the main cannon was retracted, the 12 thunder slurry secondary cannons had already begun to exert their strength, forming a pool of thunder in the demon tide, gradually stabilizing the precarious situation of the Black Mountain fortress below.
A moment later, the fleet of airships located in the rear also rushed to the battlefield, and two mushroom clouds rose on the battlefield, and with them, seven or eight smaller beams fell, and the medium-sized armed airship also had a main gun, but the power was much lower.
After a lot of bombardment, the originally dense demon tide has become a little sparse, and the thunder slurry cannon smashed down on all sides of the fortress like a torrential rain, turning all the attacking monsters into charred corpses on the ground, and the black 'vines' clinging to the city wall were also defeated one by one, revealing a dark red wall.
On the Sun-Chasing No., Xu Yue looked down at the battlefield below and had some itchy hands, but after seeing the scene of thunder everywhere, he still chose to endure it, and now he jumped down, he estimated that he was not overwhelmed by the monster, and he was numbed by the thunder first.
This kind of indiscriminate firepower coverage is not divided between friend and foe, compared to the group of mechanical envoys encountered before, the current scene is called fire washing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the thunder pond broke the embankment and the rain fell, and the plasma turned like a current.
However, this kind of firepower coverage will not last long, the consumption of energy is too exaggerated, and it is unrealistic to rely solely on a fleet to extinguish the wave of demons in front of him, and now it is just a temporary containment of its offensive and waiting for the arrival of a large Allied force in the rear.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the thunderstorm raging on the battlefield began to soothe, although the spaceship carried a lot of spars, but the real key battle was the battle of the Dark Valley ten days later, and they couldn't use up most of their artillery reserves now.
The fleet's offensive began to weaken, and the demon tide that had been suppressed for a long time began to surge again, and the black wave advanced near the city walls again.
At this moment, a tsunami-like roar of mountains was loud from small to large, sounding from the front of the battlefield, and looking along the source of the sound, I saw an endless silver line appear at the end of the field of vision.
The Silver Line approached quickly with a roar, and it was the cavalry unit at the front of the Allied forces, with Cook at the front of the line, and a little behind were the men of Kairos and Mandel.
"Imperial cavalry, charge into battle!!"
"Charge!!"
The shouts were first shouted from Cook's mouth, and then quickly spread throughout the army, and every cavalryman raised his spear and shouted to charge, and the sound of a uniform charge resounded through the sky, and also crushed all the sounds on the battlefield.
Along with the shouts, there were also a little glow on the body of each cavalryman, the glow changed from shallow to bright, and by the time the cavalry rushed to the front of the monster tide, all the glow had been connected, among which the glow on the bodies of Cook and Kairos who were the first was the most dazzling.
Looking down from the airship, you can clearly see that in front of the pitch-black churning tide of monsters, a pair of incomparably bright wings of holy light have spread.
"It's magnificent."
