Chapter 957: Reinforcements
The tower shield was raised, and it was pushed forward with all its might. Pushing the two arbitrators out of the trench, Leo's eyes lit up and he spewed out two solid blue flames. The broadsword in his right hand swept out, and a bleak green glow flashed across the arbitrator's waist. While the flame of light remained in the air for a long time like a cyan ribbon, the arbitrators were already out of place, and the staggered rift was as smooth as a mirror, and not even a drop of blood was splashed.
The two high-level weapons were dismembered like this, but Leo didn't have the slightest joy. He gasped for breath and struggled to turn his neck to look around.
As far as the eye can see, the scorched earth is everywhere.
The war lasted from daytime to dusk, and the sound of artillery changed from the first thunder to the current sparse pulling. Leo was well aware that the shells, and even other types of ammunition, were almost used. Originally, there was not much ammunition reserved in the city, but it was able to support it until now, thanks to the fact that each combat staff officer constantly counted the data and adjusted the strategy.
But even so, Leo still lost more than half of his soldiers, and only a third of his defensive position remained. The most serious problem is that there are only three capable people left under his command! As for the enemy army, the Black Legion has also lost more than half of its high-level weapons, and the guards still have about 3,000. It seems that there is still a balance of forces, but in reality this is not the case.
Human soldiers will get tired and will be wounded. Since the start of the war, the fighting has not stopped, and the eyes of the soldiers who are still alive have been full of fatigue, and their morale has fallen to the bottom. Several teams of soldiers were sent to break through, but they were intercepted by biological weapons. There is no hope of breaking through, the communication base station cannot be repaired for a while, the city is like an isolated island in the sea, isolated and helpless, and everyone can not see the hope of life, and what morale can we talk about.
Even Leo himself didn't know if he would be able to swing the sword and shield in his hand in the next second. Now, they are as heavy as two large pieces of iron. As for the energy, there is also not much left, even if the tenth-order powerhouse can replenish it by absorbing the energy of the space through the Empty Energy Stone, but in this kind of battle where there is almost no time to rest, Leo's energy recovery is slow, and he is basically unable to make ends meet.
If this continues, it is still a question whether we will be able to keep watch until nightfall.
Is there really no hope?
Leo couldn't help but sigh at the sky, and suddenly, a black spot was caught in the corner of his eye.
A black dot located under a radiant cloud, the black dot expands rapidly. Leo's eyesight was impressive, and the black dot was still three hundred meters away, and he could already see that it was a humanoid monster with bat wings. This kind of humanoid monster is covered with scales, and there is a rising aura spewing out from the gap between the scales, and it is still in the air, and the monster pushes it with both hands. A dusky fireball had already been volleyed into the air, and Leo's gaze fell on the fireball, and he immediately sensed that it was full of devastating energy!
Leo's heart sank, and until now, the Creature Legion had not seen an air unit. If they have air superiority, then this battle will not be fought directly. At a time when ammunition is scarce and there are few capable people left, Leo really can't come up with any means to counter the attack from the air.
However, instead of falling on Leo's defenders, the dusky fireball smashed into the position of the biological weapon. The fireball exploded as soon as it landed, forming a viscous curtain of fire, with a radius of twenty meters. The guards in the fire curtain were on fire, and the armor leaves on their bodies quickly melted in the flames. Only the Arbiter and the Black Flame Inspector were able to suppress the flames and escape the flames, but they were still injured by the impact of the fireball explosion.
The wind is blowing.
There was even a sharp wind whistle in the sky, and Leo looked up to see a dark cloud falling. That dark cloud was actually composed of hundreds of the same batman monsters. Next, a rain of fire fell from the sky, and clusters of dim yellow fireballs rained down into the sky, staggering on the positions of the biological weapons. Pieces of fire curtains spread out, and as the night deepened, continuous fire bands lit up the entire battlefield.
"It's ...... What?" said Leo.
A fallen angel next to him said, "No matter what, we seem to be saved, my lord." ”
The wind grew louder and louder in the sky, and finally formed a roar like a bomber flying low. The sky was obviously empty, but there was a huge coercion, and then the sporadic fluorescent light lit up, almost as if people thought that the radiation clouds had dispersed, and the night sky was once again the galactic stars of the old era. Of course, the radiation clouds still shrouded the sky, and those starlights were beams of energy pressed by the Dao volley!
Thousands of beams of light enveloped almost the entire battlefield, when the rain of light fell on the earth. Leo's eyes were filled with astonishing explosions and brilliant white light, and after a round of bombardment, the Black Legion had been killed and wounded, and at this time, a large distorted light and shadow appeared in the air. When the light stabilized, Leo realized that it was a numbing swarm of silver flying insects.
The flying insects slammed into the remaining biological weapons, and the surface of the mountain seemed to be plowed over, and tons of dirt disappeared into the sky like this. Leo only knew that after this bombardment, the aura of biological weapons swept away, and only a few high-level weapons fled into the mountains and forests in the distance.
Looking at the two different forms of creatures in the sky, Leo's mouth was bitter. After fighting desperately for a long time, the black army completely disappeared under a few rounds of attacks from these creatures. Of course, it is undeniable that the number of these creatures in the air is indeed a little more. If they attack the city, it is estimated that Leo will not be able to withstand it for even 10 minutes.
But where did these things come from, were they reinforcements, or were they new enemies? Leo was completely unsure of these questions, and as he watched cautiously the air visitors, he heard the soldiers on the city wall shouting, "Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived." ”
When he saw Zero, Leo knew that his reinforcements had already arrived. The flying insects and batmen who cut into the battlefield in time and bombarded the biological weapons were among the reinforcements. In addition, there is a group of red giants in about 100. These giants, as well as those batmen, exude a formidable power, and the countless silver flying insects are staggering in number, and when they are together, they exude a much more powerful momentum than the giant batmen.
What Leo doesn't know is that these aren't all of the creatures. More biological weapons were located in the rear, entering the mountains and forests under the orders of Ansula so as not to panic the humans of the Blue Mountains. It was only when he learned that the battle in the mountains was urgent, and Zero let the mobile and Garcia flying insects, who had air superiority, arrive one step earlier, thus disintegrating the threat of the black army in time.
Behind the Zero, there is a long dragon that stretches for an unknown number of kilometers. The dragon consisted of more than 30,000 alien warriors, and 20,000 Dawning City troops. The total army of 50,000 people is indeed not much, but it solves the urgent need of the shortage of soldiers in the Blue Light Mountains. What's more, Zero also brought in a batch of supplies from Phoenix, which is undoubtedly great news for Leo.
As the army marched into the city, the Sappers of Dawn helped to repair the base station, and the alien warriors took the place of the council soldiers who had been tired for the day, shouldering the defense of the city and cleaning up the battlefield. On the battlefield between the mountains to the north, the remains of the biological weapons killed in battle are being carried away by Garcia Flying Insects. Deep in the mountains, these corpses will become food, and Zero's Underground Army will make them disappear without a trace.
In the connection with the Legion, the three gray dots that represent the brood have become a turquoise color, which means that they have made the leap to the intermediate stage. Ansula planned to have the brood stay in the mountains and forests, using the environment and a certain number of weapons as a defense, so that the brood could start producing new classes. There are two new classes, one is a wise man with a large, smooth head, two pairs of side fins, and a long transparent front tail, shaped like a giant tadpole. The other is a Quian knight who can ride this large lizard with a dragon and a dragon.
The Wise Man is not a combat weapon, it is more like the brains of the Legion. They can share much of Ansula's work, performing data calculations, tactical deductions, and commanding weapons. With the advent of the Wise, the command network of the Underground Legion will be further refined, and Ansula will be able to exercise more refined control over the Legion with a certain number of Wise Men.
As for the Quean Knights, they are weapons that appear entirely to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the legion. THIS HUMANOID WEAPON IS ONLY 165 CM TALL AND HAS NATURAL BIOLOGICAL ARMOR THAT CAN WITHSTAND RIFLE FIRE. However, defense is not the strength of the Quian Knight, its advantage lies in the strength enhancement around the fifth order. This allows the Quean Knight to wield a greatsword that weighs more than a ton, perhaps projecting a Tyrannosaurus spear condensed from its own energy.
The Quean Knight is able to mount the Mikina Dragon, and its small size and creature armor with poor defense are all designed to reduce the weight of the Quean Knight itself and keep it within the range that the Dragon can carry. When the speed of the dragon and the strength of the knight of Quean work together, their impact will be unmatched. Moreover, the dragon itself was designed as a mount for this weapon, and when necessary, the Quian Knight was able to draw the dragon's own energy in order to carry out a super-level burst attack.
The plan for these two weapons was submitted to Zero for confirmation by Ansula as early as the time of the journey. Now is the time to put the plan into action.
In the command center of the Tulip Building, Zero introduced Leo to Ba Jin, Wigg and other elders, and then asked directly, "What is the current situation?"
"Not ideal. Leo had the five battle zones on the front line shown on a big screen and said, "As you can see now, Douglas and those black miscellaneous are now fighting each other in these areas." Although the opponent was no longer able to continue to increase the number of troops, they were already quite numerous, and Douglas could only use a variety of tactics to draw with them. But even so, they were able to divide their forces and attack our rear positions and almost succeeded. ”
"You can imagine once this place is taken. Douglas: They're out of supplies, and by then, as long as these damn guys are flanked by the front soldiers, it is estimated that not many people will be able to escape. Leo paused and said, "Fortunately, you arrived just in time. ”
Zero nodded and said, "I understand, the communication base station will probably be able to be repaired tomorrow." We'll rest here for the night and leave tomorrow. You tell Douglas to find a way to bring Prosius' legion together, and we'll go around behind their butts and fight with Douglas back and forth. ”
"Let's do it, the soldiers on the front line are holding their breath, just waiting for a full-scale counterattack. Now, they can get their wish. Leo laughed.
Nothing was said all night.
Before the dawn of dawn rose, the army set off and left the Blue Mountains. Instead of heading north along the coastline road, Zero entered the jungle according to the route map provided by Leo. Before that, the three broods remained, and after Ansula left them with a certain number of guards, the Underground Legion departed. They were one step ahead of Zero's coalition forces, carving out a passage through the mountains and forests.
An army of more than 300,000 people marched along Leo's road map, and the Garcia Flying Worm was duty-bound to become the outpost of the army with its stealth nature. They monitor movements over an area of more than 100 square kilometers to ensure that the enemy does not detect the presence of this army. If there are no accidents, Zero will arrive at the rear of the enemy army with all their strength early tomorrow morning, and then they can attack the Black Army with Douglas.
Of course, the premise is that Douglas and they have to gather the black army to be able to break it in one fell swoop.
The communication base station of the Blue Light Mountain was repaired in the morning, and Leo sent this message as soon as possible. When he received this message, Douglass was in a nondescript tent. He had just returned from the night, sitting as the medic cleaned his wounds. The staff officer who received the summons from the Blue Light Mountain Ridge immediately told him the news.
After hearing this, Douglas laughed: "Zero, this kid, it's really time to come back." It's good, we've been holding back the bird breath for so long, and we can finally have a good time to stagnate. Go, call the two boys from Thor and Hart. ”
Thor and the eldest son of the Augustus family are now Douglas's left and right arms, and both of them have their own characteristics. The former was brave and a fierce general, while the latter was cautious and tight, and the defensive line laid out by Hart was almost impenetrable. The two fought to the death before, but now they cooperate with each other, one is good at attacking, and the other is good at defending, and the cooperation is seamless.
After receiving Douglas's order, it didn't take long for Saul and Hart to open the tent. Douglas opened the map on a long table in the tent, repeated the message from the Blue Mountains, and said, "What do you think?" Leo, the old fellow said, Zero's army will arrive before sunset, so we don't have much time. ”
"What's the point of this, let's get all out of our army, drive those black reptiles to one place, and then cooperate with Zero and fight them to the death?" Leo said, looking at the two of them.
Hart smiled slightly and said, "After fighting with them for so many days, don't you understand?" Those things are not stupid, since they can divide their forces to attack the Blue Light Mountains, they want to cut us off. Do you think they can do this, and they won't be suspicious when they see us attacking in an all-out way? Besides, where do you want to drive them? We also need a decisive battle site, and the environment must not be too open. Once open, these reptiles are difficult to control...... And most importantly, how do we put them away? Let's not forget that we are at a disadvantage in terms of troops. ”
"Babbling guy, in that case, you can figure it out. "Saul irresponsibly kicked the problem at Hart.
Hart looked at Douglas and said, "I really don't know how I dragged on with this idiot for so long." ”
Douglas laughed, "Because he's still a little lucky, and at the same time, he's not that stupid." ”
Hart shrugged his shoulders, then his gaze fell on the map, his fingers moving along the map, and finally stopped in one place: "This is it, Peligin City." ”
On the map, the ruins of a city are shown. It deviates from the coastline road, but is not far from the front-line theater of operations. It was adjacent to a mountainous area, and as long as the troops were properly deployed, it would be very difficult to break away once the enemy army was driven into the city. The Dark Council had considered developing the city of Pelikin into a mountain fortress, but this plan was shelved due to the war, and now it is being used by Hart as the site of a decisive battle.
Douglas looked at the surrounding environment and nodded in agreement, but how to drive the Black Army into Peliquin City was a headache for Hart. Thor on the side said with a grin, "You just said that those guys are smart, and since they are so smart, if they find out that our army is suddenly moving towards this location, how do you think they will react?"
Hart's eyes lit up and said, "Of course they will think that we are going to move the battlefield and suddenly move the whole army, then this battlefield must be in our favor." If I were a commander, of course, I would destroy in advance any advantage in favor of the enemy army. That way, we don't have to drive them to Pelikin, we just need to make a show and bring them in. ”
"You see, as I said earlier, Thor isn't too stupid sometimes. Douglas patted Saul on the shoulder and said.
On this day, the guards of the various theaters of war suddenly found that the entire human army had gathered and left the war zone at a very fast speed. The human army bypassed the war zone and advanced towards the mountainous area west of the coastline road. This sudden action surprised the arbiters who commanded the army. In the absence of a commander, the actions of the Black Legion were collectively drawn up by all the arbitrators.
The communication between arbitrators is not complicated, and their wills can be connected together to form a collective will. Under the will of this group, the arbitrator will sort out and integrate the collected information and quickly formulate a targeted strategy. In this process, biological weapons do not waste time arguing, and the results obtained by the will of the swarm will will be carried out by each arbiter without reservation.
Therefore, after sorting out the sudden action of the human army, the will of the group was obtained by the enemy to move the battlefield and plan otherwise. The Arbiter began to order the army to turn around and get ahead of the human army and give the enemy a head-on attack. After calculating the possible destinations of the human army, a city appeared in the brains of all the arbitrators.
Peliquin City!
