Chapter 497: Tunnel Attack and Defense

Watching the tall blood-red figure walk away, Pedfanie completely dispelled the intention of making a move. From the moment the Red Grand Duke appeared, the Blood Empress put all her heart and soul on this alien powerhouse. She had heard that when Gegnaia was stormed that day, the Red Grand Duke Merlin had single-handedly stopped the magician, the clown, and the king of destruction. It wasn't until later that the adults themselves intervened, and Merlin showed his defeat.

But even so, being able to block the combined attack of three colleagues, Merlin's strength is enough to be proud of.

For the strong, Pedfanie has always been reluctant to let go. If she can eat the brains of these powerhouses, the genetic completion of her Purgatory Demon will be immeasurable. It's just that until Merlin left, Pedfanie couldn't find a chance to make a move. This tall fish-man is as imposing as a mountain, and there is no flaw in the slightest. During this time, Pedfanie secretly tested with power, but found that all the energy and power disappeared without a trace as soon as she entered three meters around Merlin, which made the Blood Empress dare not make a rash move.

Betsy glanced faintly at the Empress, who knew his colleague too well. I have to say that the cowboy is glad that the red prince is very strong, and at the same time, this time Pedfani did not do anything stupid. Otherwise, they don't have to act, and they will have to fight the tricky characters of Gegnah first.

After dispelling the idea of secretly chasing Merlin, Pedfanie walked up to the cowboy and said, "I don't understand, since this operation is to kill Zero as the priority, weishenme, you still want Bane to do so many things." ”

"It was the idea of the adults, and he had always been cautious and kept everything behind. Betsy spread his hands and said, "You must know that our target is not ordinary people, but one of the artificial gods created in the old era. The speed at which he has grown has been obvious to all, and even Bane, who has 60% of his genes, plus a Jenny, can kill him is still a big deal. Therefore, it must be laid down in case of emergency. ”

"So let's say those two madmen kill to zero, adults don't want to get his genetic information, is it too wasteful to kill him like this? ”

"This was the previous idea, but the growth rate of Zero and the construction of the shili circle exceeded the expectations of adults. In Asgard, it is difficult to get his genetic information perfectly, so the adults have to use all means to transfer him to the West Frozen Plain. Because it's our home stadium, and even more so because the Bane guy is here. He has the ability to absorb the other party's genes and simulate them, as long as Bane, a vampire, tastes zero's fresh blood, then it doesn't matter if he kills zero, Bane will be the most haode gene pool. ”

"I'm afraid that guy won't cooperate obediently then, don't forget the look on his face when he gets zero blood. I'm willing to bet that after getting zero complete genes, he'll definitely hide in until he digs out all the genes of the artificial gods. ”

Betsy Haha smiled and said, "If that's the case, we're not going to be a showman." Bane better not do that, or he wouldn't have a 100 percent chance of surviving. ”

"Okay, we need to act. Before Bane has no intention of betraying us, at least we have to create an opportunity for him to attack Zero. ”

With that, the cowboy jumped off the edge of the cliff with his hat on his head. He was wrapped in a tornado of flames, supporting his body and slowly descending to the ground. Pederfani didn't have the ability of the Elemental Domain, but she used her dexterity to bounce between the rocks jutting out of the cliff, the old trees, and everything else that could be leveraged, but she reached the bottom of the mountain faster than Betsy.

The two of them disappeared into the night, following the torrent of ice-scaled scorpions in front of them.

That night, in the tunnel that connected to the Mobystone Market, the remaining servants had fallen into a deep sleep after dinner, recovering their physical and mental strength after days of marching. Of course, it was not possible for all the servants to rest, and there were still some soldiers who had to be on guard duty at night.

The soldiers on duty were selected from the three squads and mixed into makeshift sentry teams, and they had to be on duty overnight in batches to ensure the safety of the camp in the tunnels. It's time for a shift change, and Brown is on duty. For the servant commander of this zero team, the soldiers from the other two squads also gave him the least respect.

In fact, as Brown, it is completely possible not to participate in the defense of duty. It was only with his physical strength that he had recovered from the fatigue of the day after three or four hours of rest. And Brown also knows that ordinary soldiers need more rest. If he is willing to take part in the defense, at least three or four soldiers can get valuable rest.

So here he comes.

The temperature outside the tunnel was cold, and soldiers dug a makeshift trench outside. You can not only hide from the cold wind, but also monitor the movement ahead, but the environment is definitely not comfortable. Brown was now nestled in the trenches, with a Grimm rapid-fire cannon firmly erected on top of it. The chain of bullets extending from the cannon is connected to an ammo box, which ensures that the cannon is fully ammo.

The soldiers looked at the cannon with some awe that anyone who could use such heavy firepower with their bare hands was a pervert, so their attitude towards Brown was a little more fearful in their respect.

"A cigarette?"

Brown handed out cigarettes to several soldiers beside him, and on the battlefield, it was either cigarettes or spirits that could quickly connect feelings. Sometimes, tobacco and alcohol are still hard currency on the front.

Then a few fires lit up in the trenches, followed by smoke. After a few yellow jokes, Brown quickly mingled with the soldiers from the other squads. It's also a gift to be able to get along quickly with a soldier, and it's clear that Brown has a knack for it.

As a soldier recounts how he has gone from a young man to a real man, other soldiers laugh at him. Brown listened to it in his ears, and he felt a little back to the mercenary days. Then, as now, I hid in narrow trenches, smoking cigarettes and telling adult jokes, and I had to be careful to guard against attacks that could come at any time.

Only now, the companion who was born and died back then has become a soldier who has just become acquainted, and he has transformed from an ordinary mercenary to the commander of an army of hundreds of people.

"It feels like a dream. Brown muttered to himself.

At this moment, there was a faint tremor in the trenches. The tremors weren't noticeable, so the few soldiers who were still laughing didn't notice it, but they couldn't hide it from Brown. His face changed slightly, and he quickly jumped up and lowered his voice, and pressed his ear to the ground. His actions finally caught the attention of the soldiers, who immediately shut their mouths and clenched their weapons.

Brown jumped to his feet, stretched out his hand to the soldiers, and said, "Who has a tactical telescope?"

"I have, sir!"

A young soldier with freckles on his face immediately took out his telescope and stuffed it into Brown's hand, and without saying a word, Brown immediately picked up the telescope and looked into the darkness. The telescope had activated its night vision mode, and in the cyan shijie, Brown saw a dark shadow. The shadow came from far and near, and after two seconds it fully appeared in the telescope's field of view.

Brown gasped.

It was a scorpion as large as a chariot, covered in a thick carapace, and its excessively strong left chelate and high-raised tail spines made Brown feel sick to his stomach. Especially after this scorpion, one scorpion after another appeared in Brown's field of vision, and he almost groaned in pain when he saw it.

", monster. A group of monsters are heading towards our camp, be on guard!Soldiers, who else should inform Captain Wren and get that damn liaison, I'll have to inform Captain Staley about them!" Brown yelled, giving orders to the soldiers.

His order was quickly carried out, and a soldier ran into the tunnel and woke up all those who were resting, while reporting the situation to Wren, the highest commander in the camp. As for outside the tunnel, the dull roar of Green's rapid-fire cannon had already sounded, breaking the silence of the night first.

The scorpion swarm was moving very fast, rushing out of the distant forest and scurrying down the mountain path towards the tunnel. The tunnel was filled with the smell of living creatures, greatly stimulating these demonic beasts that had been forcibly awakened by the Ice and Snow Tyrant in hibernation. The scorpions are now so hungry that they have even forgotten their original goal and just want to have a full meal at the moment.

But they were greeted not by a delicious meal, but by a stream of metal heat fired by rapid-fire cannons. They drew a bright line of fire in the darkness of the night, and swept in front of the scorpions with a stormy sound. The thick armor of the Ice Scorpion may be able to withstand the strafing of rifles, but it will never be able to block the bullets of rapid-fire cannons. The powerful bullets swept the scorpions in front of them to the ground, and under the line of machine gun fire, whether it was the ice scale scorpion or the rocks and trees, they were all blown to pieces.

Outside the trenches, Brown chewed a cigarette and his muscular arms steadily controlled the rapid-fire cannon to carry out a furious attack. Only he, a master gunner, could control the bullet point of the rapid-fire cannon to such a dense degree. Under the torrent of bullets cutting back and forth, more than a dozen ice-scaled scorpions seemed to be torn to pieces.

After 20 seconds of continuous attack, the cannon finally stopped roaring, which was due to the fact that 500 rounds of ammunition had missed. Brown kicked the empty ammo box and yelled, "Get out into the tunnel, don't fight the big guys in the clearing." ”

Despite the retreat, not everyone dispersed in a hurry. A few soldiers stayed behind to take charge of the rear of the hall, but their machine guns were clearly not as powerful as rapid-fire guns. Therefore, the scorpion's footsteps were barely stopped for a moment, and after two or three seconds, an ice-scaled scorpion kicked the ground with its feet, and supported its three-meter-long body to leap high and fall into the trench.

The trenches erupted in screams, and the Ice Scorpion smashed one soldier into a pulp with its majestic left claw, and then used its tail thorn to provoke another soldier to his mouth and chew it violently. In an instant, a large ball of blood flowed out of this demonic beast's mouth, making it even more hideous.

The remaining soldiers screamed at the Ice Scorpion, and at close range, rifle bullets hit it, piercing through its thick armor. Immediately, the scorpion leaked thick yellow bodily fluids from its carapace. But the good times didn't last long, as one scorpion after another jumped into the trench, the soldiers in charge of the palace immediately became a scorpion's meal.

The young soldier who had slipped the telescope into Brown was among them, and he only had time to fire a few shots before a scorpion pierced the chest from behind with its tail. The soldier was shocked, and immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth. But he was still dying, and with one hand he clenched the tail spines that emerged from his chest, as the scorpion carried him upside down and into his mouth. The soldier laughed, he pulled out a high-powered grenade and pulled off the safe.

The next moment, a fireball rose from the trench. The orange flames burned the air before turning into red and black smoke and rising into the air. Two or three ice-scaled scorpions were blown to pieces within the blast radius of the high-powered grenade, and the flesh and blood of the scorpion and the human were mixed together, indistinguishable from each other.

"Quick, intensively attack, fight Lao Tzu to death!" Brown yelled, directing the soldiers to attack in formation at the mouth of the tunnel. The limited space at the mouth of the tunnel limits the number of Ice Scorpion attacks, and allows the soldiers to strike intensively in an echelon manner. Even if the soldier was only armed with an automatic rifle, it temporarily stopped the attack of the scorpion swarm.

After the initial chaos had passed, the soldiers who woke up joined the attack. Interspersed attacks, from automatic rifles to high-powered grenades, form a line of fire that the scorpions can't pass through. Only this time they rode lightly, and the soldiers only brought light equipment, and even the number of grenades and ammunition was very limited. Brown saw it in his eyes, and he could only be anxious in his heart.

He knew very well that according to this style of play, the soldiers' ammunition would soon run out. At that time, they can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with those demonic beasts, but in this way, ordinary soldiers have no chance of winning. At Brown's urging, the soldier managed to bring him another ammunition box. After loading the ammunition, the rotating tube cannon was once again powerful, and the fierce fire tore several scorpions at the mouth of the tunnel into pieces in an instant, and even pushed the scorpion swarm back several meters.

But what happens after the bullets run out? Brown couldn't imagine.

Just when Brown was anxious, the exclamation of a soldier sounded in the tunnel behind him. Brown took the time to look back, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. The stone walls of the tunnel on the left and right sides suddenly collapsed, revealing two large Hessian holes. Then a giant scorpion emerged from its hole, and it struck into the unsuspecting soldiers' positions, bringing a bloody storm with them wherever they passed.

"Damn, you're still going to drill holes?" Brown yelled with red eyes, but he couldn't pull away.

Fortunately, a bright yellow flame of light quietly appeared on one of the scorpions. The scorpion first took a full meal, and then split into two in the center. The scorpion's body was cut off and smooth as a mirror, and even the blood and internal organs inside had not been lost half of it, which showed how fast this attack was. Rushing so fast that it seemed that even time had frozen for it, and after the scorpion that had been disintegrated, Wren was carrying a golden spear upside down.
