Chapter 648 Three years
Three and a half years later, Teutonic Heidelberg. Twenty-three 'Mujahideen' Type 420 Magic Armor, which suddenly appeared on the streets of this small city, were spewing flames in the direction of the church in front of them. The sound of the cannon firing shook the night sky. Three of the special models, carrying heavy guns on their shoulders, attacked at close range of less than 200 meters.
In less than twenty seconds, those thirty millimeter caliber magic cannonballs, as well as special armor-piercing shells, tore apart the church's magic energy protection array, and forcibly blasted a huge hole in the left wall. Then a petite figure forced its way through it at lightning speed.
At this time, a total of five angels with three pairs of wings appeared outside the church—all of them in the form of Seraphs, who came here in the form of incarnations.
However, all their efforts to intercept and block were broken by the simple and neat slash of the petite figure, and she caused half of these incarnations of the Seraph to burn violently, and then the other was usually frozen to slag in an instant.
And the many demigod armor that followed up used their cannons to cover and tear the angels who came one after another to shreds.
The petite figure quickly burst into the depths of the church, and then she swung her knife directly in the direction of the holy platform, and a huge metal pillar that stood there was blasted into dust from top to bottom, along with the part of the ground.
Then the men withdrew from here with great cleanness, and in just two breaths, all the twenty-four figures disappeared.
Shortly after this, an old man dressed in a red cloaked walked into the church and looked at the ruins in front of him with helpless eyes.
Behind him were the priests and deacons of the church, as well as the bishop of the parish.
Most of them also looked angry and helpless, and most of them looked depressed.
"The Radiant Holy Lord is above! This is the fourth time in three months!"
"This is a great contempt for my lord! these damned heretics, the Church should go to war directly with them-"
"Didn't you pay attention? This time, the leader of the team is the Calamity Dragon Angel Hazel. ”
"So I'm glad I shouldn't be there? At least no one was hurt this time, and no one died. ”
"Her power seems to be stronger, stronger than the legend says. ”
Among them, Bishop Beckman, who was also pale and unusually ugly. At this time, he was talking to the cardinal beside him in a voice that no one else could hear: "Bishop Eagle, I don't know if you can see it? These angels did not stop them with all their might. ”
In fact, he wants to say that those guys with wings are simply responding to the story.
"Probably, right? But if that's the case, there's nothing to be done. We can't stop them, can we?"
Cardinal Eagle reacted indifferently: "Just on the border of the Teutonic Republic, there are seventy 'Thorns of the Roots' that need to be guarded, and we can't have the strength to resist them. Moreover, it was the Calamity Dragon Angel, one of the six angel kings whose fate ruled the Imperial Palace. ”
Beckman couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "The king of angels who has no appearance! The woman of the Wildenstein family, I heard that she is not even a powerful god?"
"Your news is lagging behind, just six days ago, she had confronted Michael's incarnation head-on at sea, held out undefeated for seven hours, and calmly withdrew. Note that it is not a projection of divine power, nor is it a doppelganger of divine power, but an incarnation with the body of a saint as a vessel of advention. ”
Beckman's pupils suddenly contracted slightly, the king of the holy war, 'Michael', is a powerful angel at the level of the deputy god king, holding all the power related to the war. Being able to confront his incarnation with at least thirty percent of his strength, then this one's combat power, at least the rank of the main god, is already worthy of the title of 'King of Angels'.
"So put away your arrogance, Beckman. Whether you and I admit it or not, the Church of Destiny is a faith that is enough to compete with us. ”
Cardinal Eagle sighed and said, "Only by knowing and knowing the enemy accurately can we defeat them." ”
"If that's the case, that's understandable. But I still don't feel willing!"
Beckman gritted his teeth: "This is the fourth time they have destroyed the central church in Heidelberg, is that it? This is blasphemy against the Lord and against God's will." ”
"We have similarly destroyed hundreds of their temples, and at least on the surface, the Church has not fallen behind in the confrontation with them. But if the war escalates further in this region, it will not be a good thing for both sides. The power they put into the Teutonic Republic is very strong, you should know something, right?"
Beckman, of course, understands that the Rising Sun Alliance alone has successively invested a detachment of the Winged Knights and a private army of forty reorganized divisions in the territory of the Teutonic Republic in the past three years, in the name of ensuring the safety of the belief of the Mandate of Heaven in the Teutonic Republic.
For this reason, the Teutonic Republic and Austria are indeed the fourth largest source of faith for the 'Church of Destiny' outside of the New World and Australia. In the current situation, it is indeed necessary to send troops to provide support.
But their real purpose is to thwart and sabotage the process of burying the 'Thorn of the Roots' in the Old World.
This caused a diplomatic storm and was protested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Teutonic Republic, but the influence of the Teutonic gods at the government level and in the business community was deeply rooted. And the 'Rising Sun-Light and Magic' alliance is the top supplier of magic armor and bio-breeding equipment in the current world, and it is a force that the Teutonic Republic did not dare to offend in any way at that time, which was in urgent need of military expansion.
When the Americian government pushed for the stick known as 'sanctions', the Teutonic Republic finally succumbed and allowed the Rising Sun-Light and Devil alliance and the Church of Destiny to enter with milition. It also made the thorn of the root less than one hundred and fifty strokes on the territory of the Teutons, and the Republic of Austria.
"Beckman, in the past three years, Odin, Ahura and Nyx have invaded the Destiny God Kingdom three times, and their preparations are becoming more and more thorough each time, and the strength they use is also more exaggerated each time. They even fought at least nine times in the main material realm, but they were unable to defeat the Lord of Destiny. ”
Iger didn't say Michael or their Mother of Light, who had been involved to a limited extent.
"But these days should be coming to an end. ”
As he said this, Eagle looked at the emblem of light on his chest.
Only the most pious can perceive the slight changes in divine power on this holy emblem.
"Beckman, all we have to do is be patient. Sooner or later, the sword of the Lord will cleanse the world of all filth. ”
※※※※
On the island of Java, near Yogyakarta, a huge fortress made of steel and cement towers over the plains. In the distance, artillery continued to fire, bombarding the seventy-meter-thick walls on the periphery of the fortress, creating shallow pits in the walls.
Only the top of the wall is unharmed, and the fortress's magical protective array concentrates most of its power here to ensure that the combatants at the top of the wall are not killed or injured by artillery fire.
As for the potholes in the outer layer of the wall, they will be repaired by the mages inside the fortress in a very short time.
At the same time, fifty-six 'annihilation' class 2,100 mm magic energy main guns located in various directions of the fortress were continuously firing at the flanks of the fortress, blasting shells weighing tens of thousands of kilograms into the distance at a speed of up to Mach 150. And the roaring earthquake is also shaking people's eardrums all the time.
——This is the permanent fortress 'Iron Nail No. 3' built by the Australian landing force more than half a year ago, and the cement of its internal and external walls adopts the latest technology developed by the Rising Sun Group. The internal steel bar is a new alloy developed by Light & Magic Industry with a certain memory and self-repair function, which only catches up with mythical metals in terms of toughness and tensile properties. The strength of the wall is strong enough to resist a nuclear explosion of 30 million tons of TNT equivalent with the Iron Nail 3 as the center of the explosion - that is, under the impact of a nuclear explosion of this level, the ordinary people inside can be safe.
The entire fortress cost more than 4.2 billion gold dong, which is expensive enough despite the inflation of recent years. In addition, the allied forces of Australia and the Rising Sun Alliance paid the price of the destruction of 12 temporary fortresses, the breakthrough of the defense line that had been hard for two years, and the death of nearly 120,000 soldiers.
After the completion of the 'Iron Nail No. 3', it also shows its great value. For most of the past six months, this fortress has really been like an impregnable iron nail, leaving the millions of troops and thousands of heavy artillery of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire helpless to attack the city. It also allowed the coalition forces to free up a large amount of military strength to launch an offensive in the direction of the port of Surabaya to the east of the fortress. It echoes the 'Iron Nail No. 1' and 'Iron Nail No. 2' fortresses in the direction of Surabaya.
At this time, amid the roar of artillery fire, in a certain observation port inside the outer wall of the fortress, a young man with the rank of colonel on his shoulder was observing the situation outside through a high-powered magic telescope in his hand.
"It seems that today's offensive is a bit unusual. The shelling has been going on for half an hour, and they have even used tactical nuclear bombs on a large scale. ”
The deputy brigade commander of the 78th Infantry Brigade of the Australian Army, named Georgie, knew that the reason why these large-yield tactical nuclear bombs had failed so far was due to the all-out interception of the anti-artillery and anti-missile systems inside and behind the fortress, as well as the precise calculation and command of the 'intelligent central command system' built by Light and Magic Industries.
As a result, most of those nuclear bombs were intercepted and destroyed before they landed in the sky above the 'Iron Nail 3'. The rest of the fortress will not be able to shake the fortress's defenses.
"Of course, it is unusual, the trenches of the 'T24-27' section of our flank have been broken through, and the 341st Brigade stationed there is said to have lost nearly half of the battle, and the situation in the rest of the directions is also very bad, and almost all the lines are in a hurry. ”
This is another officer with the rank of brigadier general, who is looking intently at the map: "They intend to break through from the flanks and divide and surround our fortress. ”
"The problem is, I don't see that their military power in front of the fortress has been weakened. They have increased their military strength by at least 700,000 men, and we don't know anything about it. ”
The colonel's deputy brigade commander was puzzled and said, "But I heard that not long ago, they had a million-strong battle with the Olympus gods in Southern America. ”
It was a war over faith, and the Empire of All Beasts had been attacking Southern America for three years, with tens of millions of Great Ape warriors pushing the battle line all the way north to the Mato Grosso Plateau in Brazil to El Salvador.
However, just behind them, the belief in the Olympian god system quietly rose in the area of Rosario, Argentina. Taking advantage of the dissatisfaction and rebellion aroused by the endless oppression of the occupied territories by the Empire of Beasts, the gods of Olympus developed nearly 700 million followers in the south of Argentina in a very short time.
Not long ago, the Aesirs finally couldn't tolerate it, and at the cost of retreating to the Brasilia front, they drained twelve legions from the front line and launched a purge war against the Olympian faith.
These two enemies of the Protoss have finally extended the war between them beyond the two misty continents of Antolia and Bolivia, and neither has yet been decided.
The Olympians have received a large amount of arms from the Sunrise and Light Fiendilla Alliance, giving them enough weapons and war machines to arm their followers.
The heritage of this ancient and powerful protoss in the Bright World is also gradually revealed, and although they are completely defeated in their beliefs, they still have a certain amount of wealth and influence in the Old World, North Africa, and even America. The Olympian Divine Force's armed forces of 7 million men fought for three years, and they never lacked food and weapons.
"I don't know, but didn't the military reference sent down above say? The Ten Thousand Beast Empire still has a great war potential, and after the world is merged, their living environment is improving, and many warriors have been greatly improved in level under the guarantee of sufficient resources. In addition, last year's population growth has risen instead of falling, and the birth rate has increased by 70% compared to previous years. ”
"I'm actually very surprised that their warriors have already been sent to the front line, and they are holding on to the offensive on several fronts at the same time. Where did such a high natural population growth rate come from?"
Colonel Georgie whistled, full of ridicule, but then his expression was slightly condensed: "Bowie, I think you have to come and have a look." These people, I suspect may be the Night Warriors under the banner of the Night Goddess. ”
Brigadier General Bowie was slightly stunned, then strode to the observation hole and looked into the distance, his brow then furrowed deeply: "That's the Son of the Moon." ”
They have another name - werewolves!
And today, it's the night of the full moon.
※※※※
In a trench 420 kilometers away from the 'Iron Nail No. 3' fortress, Clark Denning, the commander of C Company of the 4221st Regiment, suddenly raised the automatic rifle in his hand above his head and sprayed a series of tongues of fire out of the trench.
He wasn't an aimless diffuse, a miniature drone hovering above them was sharing the battlefield situation in front of the trench through a data link to the vision of everyone in their company. With the help of magic armor and auxiliary intelligence, even with this awkward shooting position, Clark Denning still accurately hit the three large beasts that had already rushed to the front of the trench four hundred meters in front of the trench and were like lions and tigers. The latter burst out of his chest with several huge bloody gouts, and fell to the ground with a wail.
However, compared to the tide-like herd of beasts in front of the battlefield, as well as the great ape warriors mixed in it, the death of these three fierce beasts was insignificant.
Then, in less than two seconds, the drone above their heads was noticed, and a shuttle of bullets from a distance tore the micro-drone to shreds.
Fortunately, at this time, the artillery in their rear began firing again, and hundreds of howitzers were poured on the front, which was two kilometers wide. The surging crowd of beasts and people suddenly suffered a heavy setback, and thousands of fierce beasts and great ape warriors were torn apart by the bursting shrapnel, and the blood plasma flew everywhere.
The various machine gun firing positions in the trenches were also firing fiercely, and dozens of tongues of fire and bullet chains were blocking the front with all their might.
But Clark Denning still let out a wild roar without hesitation: "Prepare for melee combat! Get your injections! Grenades! Shotguns ready! Knives and axes ready! Brothers, we have to give them a hard time this time!"
The many soldiers of the C Company in this trench couldn't help but look at each other, and everyone's eyes were full of solemnity. They had realized that the fire blockade of this line of defense could not stop the charge of the other side, and a hand-to-hand combat was inevitable.
This is undoubtedly a general offensive, and the opposite side has already spared no cost and casualties.
Their company commander, Clark Denning, continued to howl wolf-likely, "Listen to me, you rookies, do you know the consequences of defeat here, right? Your non-commissioned officer must have told you that if we fail here, then these puppies from the Outlands will land on the north shore of Australia overnight." They've tried a few times, but they didn't work out. I'm sure you have seen what happened to the Indonesians, the poverty, the hunger, the disease, the country is tormenting, and their women have to give birth to the believers in Asa. So, today we have no back road, no back road! I'd rather die here than take a step back and tell me, you're just like me, right?"
“Yes sir!”
All the warriors let out this hoarse roar, like wild beasts. They all didn't hesitate to take out the injection from their tactical backpack and push it into their bodies. This left the vast majority of them with bloodshot eyes and hideous complexions.
This is a combination of adrenal stimulants and potions, which can temporarily enhance their reflexes, mental power and various bodily functions.
Although there is a lot of trouble, it will put a lot of burden on the body. But they knew that surviving the next battle was the most important thing.
The consequences of doping are nothing compared to death.
It was also at this time that Clark Denning saw two squads of twenty-four people pouring into the trench one after another, with the Destiny Lord's astrolabe emblem on their chests, and a pair of wings stretched out on the left and right of the astrolabe—that was the symbol of the Winged Knights.
This made Clark's tense mind slightly relaxed, and the support of the Winged Knights could greatly improve their melee ability.
In fact, in the past two years, the fourth branch of the Divine Wing Knights has always been a god-like existence for their front.
However, the Divine Wing Knights invested such a scale of warriors in this position, which also meant that the battle here was far more fierce and dangerous than he imagined.
Coincidentally, the leader of one of the Divine Wing Knights was an acquaintance of his, a 'Heavenly Knight' named Alex.
"Lord Alex, it seems that the situation is not good this time!"
With the help of the goddess of the night, the Beast Empire suddenly increased its army by 700,000 troops on the island of Java, and Nyx's authority even escaped from our god of intelligence. In addition to this, there are also two hundred night warriors of the warbands under the banner of the Night Goddess. Luckily, we're also secretly preparing for a corridor operation, and three brigades of the Fifth Knights of the Winged Knights alone are secretly deployed near the fortress. ”
Alex briefly introduced the situation while making the final preparations: "Old rules, we deal with all the demigods and legends on the other side, and the following ones will be handed over to you." ”
He is just a legendary first-level magic warrior, and with the help of magic armor and biogenesis, he has the ability to confront demigod powerhouses head-on.
And just as they were saying this, several non-commissioned officers in the trenches let out a roar at the same time.
"Everyone, projection!"
Hundreds of grenades were thrown outside the trenches at the same time, and the accompanying mages were also casting auxiliary spells to ensure that the grenades were not sent back by the enemy's magical power and to ensure their landing.
And just after the loud bang, everyone jumped up from the trenches. In the shortest possible time, they emptied all the shotgun magazines in their hands. Then, armed with a knife and axe, he swooped down on the dense crowd of people and beasts in front of him.
At this time, if you look down from the sky, you can see that from the front of the trenches in section T12-T19, this is basically the scene. The warriors on both sides collided fiercely like two opposing iron streams.
