Chapter 956: Lonely City
The war continues.
Even if they are hundreds of kilometers away, the sound of artillery from the front line can still be heard between the blue mountains. After the first surprise attack, Leo was able to defend himself in the Blue Mountains. Fortifications and sentinels are scattered in multiple hidden points between the mountains, monitoring the situation throughout the mountains. In the city, an army of 2,000 men remained to keep this important logistics area safe.
Three to five soldiers are stationed at each outpost, who monitor any movements in the area of responsibility of the outpost in shifts throughout the day, reporting to the command center by radio every hour. Such work is undoubtedly boring, but the safety factor is great. Therefore, the soldiers assigned to the outposts did not complain, and of course, the always young soldiers still wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious achievements.
After all, this is the dream of every young man who joins the army.
Jon must be one of them, having joined the council's army last year when the Dark Council was looking to expand. Jung Eun is no longer a rookie, but he has not been on the battlefield a few times in more than a year. According to his mother's words, God favored him as a young man, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and most of the tasks assigned to him from above were to be on guard duty, and the few battles he rarely participated in were only regional skirmishes.
So in the more than a year of military career, the number of times Rong En fired was pitifully limited. He remembers very well that he had only fired 51 bullets!
That's a shameful number, at least for Jon. But Ron believes that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. One day, he will also be able to participate in front-line battles, accumulate combat merits, or even be promoted to second lieutenant.
In his spare time, the young soldier would silently wipe down his rifle and clean the chamber and oil the parts once a day, even if the rifle hadn't fired for half a year.
Just like at this time in the afternoon, while the other two veterans were smoking cigarettes and telling some adult jokes, Jon sat silently in the corner and wiped his rifle again.
An old soldier knocked his colleague next to him with his elbow and said, "Look, that little imp is taking care of his precious rifle again." ”
"Don't say that, Singh, our Mr. Jon is a young man with great ambitions. ”
"Yes. But Dima, how did I hear that our little Rong En hasn't fired two guns for a long time?"
Then the two laughed.
Rong En stood up and said, "I'll take a look around the neighborhood." Then, ignoring the two veterans, he went straight out of the semi-bunker fortifications where the outpost was located.
Soldier Singh spread his hands and said, "It seems that we have annoyed Mr. Ron. ”
Another soldier threw away his cigarette butt and said, "He is still young and does not understand the preciousness of life." Going to the front line is not as good as these boys think, and being able to stay here is God's greatest gift. ”
Rong En carried his gun around the nearby woodland, and angrily stepped a stone into the ravine below: "These two old fritters! One day, Second Lieutenant Rong En will make you regret your words today." ”
After a spin and a moment of sulking, Rong En shook his head and planned to go back to the sentinel point. Something shook out of the corner of his eye, and he fell to the ground alertly, covering himself with a bush in front of him. Look down into the ravine, where the trees swayed like wild beasts. But Rong En knew that the attack not long ago had already driven away the heretical beasts in the Blue Light Mountains, and now there were no more beasts in the mountains.
What would that be?
He felt that he might have to report back to the sentinel that the two veterans, Singh and Dima, were shrewd and capable, although they were quite damaged. Jon felt the need to let them come here to take a look, and just as he was about to get up, a chill suddenly rose up from his spine. Rong En suddenly didn't dare to move, as if something was staring at him from behind. That feeling of danger drove Jung Eun crazy, and he felt the thing approach.
Jon yelled, turned and fired. The image in his eyes shook violently, and the tongue of fire that erupted from the muzzle of the gun made Rong Eun's vision less clear. But he could barely see a pitch-black figure jumping down from the trunk of the tree, and then a black mass smashed down on his head. The soldier instinctively rolled away, and he scrambled to his feet, only to realize that it was a humanoid monster.
What had just smashed down on his head was the monster's spherical tail. The ground covered with forest leaves had sunken, and if Rong En had dodged slowly, it would have been his head that was now dented instead of the ground. The soldier gasped for a breath when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and he looked down to see three bloody claws poking out of his chest.
There's a monster behind you!
When the guard pulled his claws out of the soldier's body, Rong felt as if a corner of his soul was missing, and a huge sense of emptiness filled every corner of his senses. He wasn't dead yet, but his body that had lost its strength could no longer support it, and Jon knelt on the ground and watched as such black monsters passed by, interspersed with the figures of the Black Flame Inspector and the Arbitrator.
Invasion, this is invasion. Jung's soul roared loudly, but he couldn't even let out a moan.
As his eyes darkened, Rong En could barely see a guard standing in front of him. Then the guard's mouth opened, and he followed towards Rong En. After a moment of darkness, Jon felt a sharp tingling in his head, and then consciousness dissipated.
The two soldiers who were in the bunker heard the gunshots and hurriedly ran out of the outpost. Singh ran ahead, Dima was a little behind. As soon as he got out of the outpost, Dima saw a hideous and twisted scythe suddenly slashing horizontally, cutting Singh in half. It happened so fast that Singh didn't even have time to react, and the person still ran two steps forward before his body slipped down!
"! Attack, this is an attack!" Dima roared over the radio over her shoulder, raising her gun to shoot at the scythe-wielding monster.
Gunshots rang out in the mountains and forests.
In the Tulip Building, the hall that has been transformed into a strategic command center, two heavy doors were suddenly pushed open, and Leo walked in in a hurry, and asked, "What happened?"
While Douglas led his army to fight the Creature Legion on the front lines, Leo sat on the Blue Mountains to ensure that the city could function properly and provide combat supplies and other support to the front line. As the war intensified, so did the logistics of Blu-ray Mountains. On that day, Oglok suddenly ordered the city to be emptied, leaving a lot of supplies that were not brought out in time, and later encountered a Star Destroyer attack, and countless supplies were already burned with the earth-shattering explosion.
At the moment, most of the strategic reserves in the Blue Light Mountains come from various families, as well as some of the council resources that have time to be transported out of Eternal Night City. But now, supplies are running low, most scarcely food and water, followed by ammunition and field medical agents.
For this reason, Leo has been busy in recent days. Just ten minutes earlier, while he was in several factory workshops, he had personally ordered the production of several urgently needed war materials before receiving a report of an attack on a mountain outpost. Leo immediately rushed back to the command center, and now, on the big screen of the command center, the signs representing the mountain outposts were lit up red.
That means that the sentinels are uprooted, and if all the fallen sentinels are connected by a line, the arrow of this line will be pointed directly at the city, and its intent is already obvious.
Leo blushed, this situation is not good. There were a few defenders in the city, but there were only a few of them. Moreover, the most serious problem is the lack of capability, but all the combat power has been sent to the front line, and the vast battlefield of nearly 100 square kilometers in five theaters is in full swing. Who would have thought that the biological legion would divide its forces to attack. I think it should be bypassing all the main battlefields, otherwise it should be intercepted by Douglas and them.
"I want the number of enemy troops, the troops! do it immediately, and inform Douglas immediately that we need reinforcements, hurry!" Leo spoke, and suddenly there was an explosion in the city.
His face changed, and he strode to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out the window, flames were dancing on the north side of the city, and black and red smoke was billowing up. Leo's face was even more gloomy, and that was where the city's communication base station was located. Now that the communication base station has been attacked, not to mention notifying Douglas, even the communication between the troops in the city has become a problem.
Sure enough, the main screen of the command center flashed, and a layer of snowflakes floated, and the screen had disappeared. Leo hated to hammer his fist on the edge of the window, and said loudly: "Quick, let people rush to repair the communication base station." In addition, let all the soldiers prepare for battle, and send a team of elite troops to break through and let us attract the attention of the enemy army. The elite soldiers who broke through were responsible for reporting the situation here to Douglas. ”
A staff officer next to him said with a difficult face: "My lord, we lack the ability, so ...... in this case."
Leo interrupted the staff officer with a wave of his hand, pointed to his nose and said, "Isn't Lao Tzu a capable one? Those bastards want to come in unless they step on my corpse." ”
He called the butler again and fetches his equipment. Ten minutes later, six soldiers brought three iron boxes. The box was covered in a thick layer of dust, and it looked like it hadn't been opened in a long time. Leo blew into the first crate, then opened it. Inside the chest lay a set of alloy armor, which had been the same as the box for some days, and there were still traces of swords on it.
With the assistance of the butler and a few soldiers, the pieces of the armor were worn on Leo's body piece by piece. This is a set of alloy full-body armor with a red base and a dark gold pattern. All armor pieces have been thinned to provide some defense without putting too much of a strain on Leo's body. As for the other two chests, they contained an alloy tower shield and a two-handed broadsword.
The tower shield and broadsword and battle armor are the same, and there are fine pieces of damage on them. With Leo's status, it shouldn't be difficult to repair or even reforge such a set of equipment, but Leo still has these traces left. He gently stroked the marks on the shield sword with his hand and closed his eyes, as if the past years were flowing before his eyes.
Those fiery pasts. He sighed lightly in his heart, opened his eyes again, and his power was released, and a whirlwind blew in the command center: "Let's go, let's meet the opponent!"
The battle has begun.
When Leo arrives at the conning tower on the north wall, he can see a steady stream of biological weapons coming out of the mountains and forests on the left without a telescope. In the defensive positions outside the city, the soldiers were hiding behind the bunkers of the fortifications, suppressing the advance of the biological weapons with heavy fire. The machine batteries on the city walls were not idle, and with the newly added anti-aircraft machine guns, they formed a powerful fire network, and the artillery fire covered the mountains 500 meters outside the city, so that every meter advanced by biological weapons had to pay a high price.
At this moment, several sharp whistling sounded, and three infantry missiles dragged the flames across the space of several hundred meters, continuously striking between the biological weapons. The violent explosion shook the walls slightly, and in the distance, three huge fireballs rose, scorching waves of fire engulfing nearby biological weapons, and what remained in the center of the explosion was the corpse remains of a weapon.
There was also a skirmish on the right side of the city, where two Black Flame Inspectors with hundreds of small fire golems were wreaking havoc. The Black Flame Inspector wielded the flaming whips, which sliced through human bodies or turrets as easily as flame knives, scorched black edges with crimson veins swimming in them. Small fire golems even use self-detonation combat methods, and they collide with the soldier's line of fire into the barricade or other fire point, and even self-detonate.
Each fire golem self-detonates to produce a high-explosive grenade, which is devastating for a normal soldier. It was also they who attacked the communication base station, causing a complete interruption of the communication network between the city and the outside world.
Leo snorted and told the adjutant to continue to preside over the battlefield on the right side of the city, while he swept in the direction of the communication base station first. If the Black Flame Inspector and the Fire Golem can't be cleaned up first, the communication base station will not only be repaired, but it will even suffer even greater damage.
The distance between the approaching tower and the communication base station was only three hundred meters, and this distance flickered by Leo's feet. When he rushed into the block where the base station was located, he was met by two fire golems. This elemental aggregate has no wisdom of its own, and only acts according to the will of the Black Flame Inspector. Obviously, the two fire golems were gifts from one of the Black Flame Inspectors, and Leo didn't think about it, so he erected a tower shield to protect his body. At the same time, a layer of blue energy force field was activated, which spread all over the tower shield and body.
As soon as the fire golem hits the tower shield, it explodes, and the corner of the street is full of flames, but Leo rushes out of the flames with the shield. He was not damaged in the slightest, except for the shield and armor that were slightly red from the flames.
One Black Flame Inspector commanded the remaining fire golems to continue to wreak havoc on the block, while the other strode towards Leo. Leo sneered, and the tower shield raised straight up to meet him. The two sides met at the intersection of the streets and crashed into each other fiercely. However, Inspector Blackflame, who was even taller than Leo, was knocked back frequently.
Leo snorted, and all the empty energy stones in his body were turned up, and a layer of pale green light and flames were emitted from the surface of his body, and he swept towards the Black Flame Inspector with a wave of his shield. The shield slammed into the right side of the high-level weapon, sending the Black Flame Inspector flying out.
Inspector Blackflame rolled on, roaring and whipping at Leo.
Seeing the flame whip sweeping, Leo's whole body shrank behind the shield again. The flame whip is whipped on the tower shield, and it collides violently with the shield's defensive force field. The clash of the two forces formed a series of small energy storms, and the streets resounded with a continuous roar. Leota Shield shook and swung the whip away. The man slid towards Inspector Blackflame as if it were gliding on ice, and in a staggered moment, the unused Alloy Broadsword was finally swung, flashing through Inspector Blackflame's body with a rich blue light.
Straight out of three meters, Leo stopped. Behind him, there was still a touch of blue color left on Inspector Blackflame's waist, and the blue light gradually brightened, and finally spread out, forming a ripple that swept across Inspector Blackflame. After the ripple disappeared, the body of the biological weapon dislocated and slid off, eventually turning into two corpses.
Seeing this, the other inspector waved his whip to drive the fire golem into a suicidal attack on Leo. One by one, the fire golems kept rushing towards Leo, and violent explosions appeared one after another at the intersection. The burst of flames and shockwaves shattered all the nearby doors and windows, and even the ground cracked one after another due to the continuous explosions. The cracks spread from the pavement to the walls of the surrounding buildings, and then climbed a little before stopping.
The explosion lasted for 15 seconds, and all the fire golems had been reduced to ashes, but the bombardment was no less than that covered by heavy artillery. The entire street intersection was unrecognizable, and the rising smoke spread and covered the entire street.
Suddenly, a green light flashed through the smoke.
The green light flickered, and Inspector Blackflame didn't know what had happened. Suddenly, a sharp buzz sounded, and the smoke parted and climbed from both sides, like a pair of black and red wings. A crack emerged from the other side of the street, spreading straight at Inspector Blackflame's feet, until ten meters behind the biological weapon before stopping.
Inspector Black Flame suddenly shook all over his body, and the world in his sight first staggered up and down, and then fell to both sides, with a huge, dark space in the middle!
The smoke cleared, revealing Leo's sword slash. He withdrew his broadsword, didn't look at the body that had been cut in half in the center, and walked quickly out of the neighborhood. After confirming safety, the maintenance team entered the almost destroyed neighborhood and rushed to the communication base station as fast as possible. There's nothing Leo doing on this side, and the battle on the other side of the battlefield has just begun.
The situation was very unfavorable to the Blue Light Mountains, and according to Leo's observations, he could basically judge that the number of biological weapons in this attack was at least more than five thousand. The simple strength alone has already surpassed the defenders of the Blue Light Mountains, not to mention that among the thousands of guards, there are also hundreds of high-level weapons. Although there are only two high-level weapons, the Black Flame Inspector and the Arbiter, the destructive power of these two weapons is amazing, and there is a lack of ability on this side of the Blue Light Mountain.
In addition to Leo, a tenth-order powerhouse, there were also more than twenty members of the Fallen Angels and more than a dozen Blood Rider Ensigns. With this strength alone, it is difficult to hold the Blue Light Mountain.
