Chapter 616: Snowstorm in Boulder City

Name:Sword of Daybreaker Author:Yuan Tong
This terrible chase seems to soon devour this small team, the knight from the kingdom, the soldier who was recruited, and the life that came back from the wall of Boulder City after a short delay. After all, it gradually approached the embrace of death--Mitchell looked at the distant scene through the observation port at the back of the carriage, and saw hundreds of thousands of clusters of giants getting closer and closer, these huge human figures with a height of three meters. The momentum of the biological cluster charge even surpassed that of the Knights of the Royal Family, and the arcane lightning that they frequently released crossed the entire battlefield and continued to hit the shield of the chariot...

Further away, it is a large piece of smoke that rises up. Every piece of smoke means that a new chase is moving closer.

Then, a strange flash will fall from the sky.

It was a very fast flying object, and the vision of the superb could only barely capture a little trajectory. It was wrapped in a pale green gleam, flying in the direction of the Gorgon River, passing through the hills and the wilderness. Falling into the smoke in the distance.

The next second, a terrible explosion of flash and more terrible thunder almost tore the eardrums of Mitchell and the soldiers.

Numerous shattered limbs and crystals were thrown into the sky in the explosion flash. The terrible shock wave even pushed all the surface protrusions of a radius of nearly 100 meters. The earth was trembled fiercely, even though such a long distance, Mitchell It is clear that the shield outside the chariot has a slight flaw.

Then, more flashes appeared in the sky, accompanied by some kind of sharp sound, which continued to fall in the distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The big bangs of the land landslides sounded one after another. Every flash and every explosion seemed to have fallen a stone in the middle of the crystallized corps. I wonder how many monsters turned into dust under this terrible attack. Mitchell can Only one point is certain - the pursuit of the Crystal Cluster is disintegrating.

The Cecil soldiers who drove the vehicles and controlled the weapons obviously already knew that this amazing "fire" would appear. They didn't panic. At the same time as the first big bang, the soldiers tacitly entered the chasing down. In one stage, they began to manipulate the weapons installed on the vehicle to clean up the cluster giants, and left a large number of explosive magical items called crystal grenades behind the vehicle, and began to move in the direction of the Gorgon River.

Throughout this process, Mitchell’s biggest concern was that the attacks that fell from the sky would fall on his head—the power of them was so great that Mr. Knight was sure that even one attack would fall next to the team, his own body. It will be instantaneously distributed in a random area with a radius of 100 meters, but it turns out that his fears are superfluous: the attacks are obviously deliberately and the team has opened a safe distance, the most recent one being hundreds of meters away.

Everything seems to have been practiced countless times.

Even a cluster of giants who are fearless of suffering and lack human feelings will retreat under such attacks. This battle of chasing and breaking out ends in an energy beam swept from the direction of the Gorgon River. The beam cut through the battlefield, with a squeaking sound that continued to burn the earth, and finally left a trench that was tens of meters wide and nearly melted, and the cluster of giants who feared the high temperature had to retreat.

After the road, there will be no waves.

......

On the 35th of the month of recovery, the inland river warship "The Trailblazer", which first went to the north, successfully completed the confluence with the advance team of the steel cavalry. With the support of powerful naval guns, the Byron Knights wiped out a move from the giant wooden crossing to the south. The cluster of giants, then the fleet temporarily docked on the banks of the rich woodland in the north of Pompeii. After using a near-anti-gun to open up a safe landing site, the landing force and the steel cavalry advance team were established in the Rumburg area on the west side of the rich forest land. The base.

At the same time, the ground forces led by Gao Wen and Philippe also advanced from the land to the rich woodland. After assisting the advance team to clear the remaining crystal clusters, the ground passage from the south to the theater was opened. The fortress to Lunenburg, the river and the ground roads were finally unimpeded, and the supply line was officially established.

With the "steel ambassador" as the node, the temporary wall connected by precast concrete wall and steel barricade is connected near the river bank. The fully armed soldiers are staring at the north on the sentry post. A large number of reinforced tents and movable board houses are neatly arranged. Arranged in the base, the vehicles carrying the materials and personnel constantly enter and exit the inside and outside of the front line base, and send the weapons and personnel from the south to the place, and collect the pollution samples collected from the front line. Some of the rescued refugees were continually sent to the temporary laboratories and refugee camps in the rear.

Gao Wen and Amber took the magic guide and slid into the base smoothly. Through the window on one side, they saw that a half-collapsed castle was still braving the smoke. The broken wall of the castle had a part and the wall of the base. Connected together, in the structure where the castle has not collapsed, you can see that the towering crystal relay tower has been erected, and the signal gain device is slowly rotating under the driving of the mechanical table, sweeping through the gray sky.

The semi-collapsed castle is "Lundenburg", the full name should be the Rembrandt-Kreiburg, which is the royal seal of the royal plain, and the castle and the surrounding rich woodland were once one of the important economic sources of the Moen family. Although the fortress and the surrounding territories have been reduced in damage after the "floating month", it is still the richest land in the southeastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain.

But that was once.

When the troops arrived here, the cluster pollution had spread into the rich woodland. The lords here had a high probability of dying on the battlefield in the north. The remaining knights and soldiers stationed in the castle symbolically resisted for hours and fled. Some of the civilians on the land were contaminated by crystals, and some fled into the nearby wasteland. During the establishment of the landing site, the Trailblazer’s shelling destroyed the castle that had fallen and burned the contaminated woodland. Now This affluent area has become one of the symbols of this disaster, reminding visitors of the war with the collapsed walls and the still lingering smell in the air.

The vehicle passed through the quarantine area on the east side of the base. Across the fence, dozens of rags of civilians were staring at the "steel monsters" that had passed through the fence. They were smashing the barbed wire on the fence. There are even some shocks, and not far behind them, more civilians are lined up under the command of soldiers to receive food and medicine – maintaining a orderly basis based on numbness.

Amber’s gaze was swept away from the civilians waiting for food and medicine behind the fence, with sympathy on his face: “These people are afraid that it’s still unclear what happened...”

"When the knight in the castle escaped without saying anything, he left the entire area," Gao Wen said. "Philippe has sent people to look around for survivors and establish segregation areas, but this area of ​​society. Order has been severely damaged, and it is hard to recover within a few years."

Amber licked her lips, but she knew that it was fortunate in the north, which was worse than the situation. The crystal-infected people who entered the Rumburg area were just a few wandering stragglers, and the damage was not enough to completely destroy the whole. The region, the fall of the town and the large number of refugees were mainly caused by the premature escape of the knights in the castle, which led to the monsters entering the area swaying into the city with little resistance - but correspondingly, escaped There are also a large number of civilians in the city, and the towns in the eastern part of Rumburg have not suffered much damage.

As long as you annihilate the clusters and gather the refugees, there is at least hope for reconstruction.

After the emotion, Amber said: "After blood and divine examinations, nearly 100 infected carriers have been found. They still maintain the human body, but they have the energy reaction of the gods. According to your orders, these people have already sent them. The isolation camp in the Pompeii area."

"Let the person in charge keep monitoring closely, and take care of them as much as possible to ensure that the infection does not spread," Gao Wen said seriously, and finally sighed, "as long as they have not become monsters, Can't give up treatment."

Amber looked at Gao Wen: "To tell the truth, I was quite worried about what to do if you ordered to kill all infected people..."

Gao Wen took a look at the half-elf: "Do you think I am like someone who will order this order?"

“I don’t feel like it, but you also said that to maximize value – from the perspective of cost and safety, killing all infected people should be the most “cost-effective”...”

"If you really want to do this, you can't count it," Gao Wen shook his head. "Even if you don't consider human life and people's hearts, those infected people who have carried the gods infection but have not mutated are also valuable samples. They can make technology. The people understand the means of the event, and we hope that the disaster and the hope of ending this disaster may be on those infected. Pitman and Carmel have already arrived at Pompeii, maybe it won’t take long, they will Find the secrets of all things in those infected people."

Amber picked up an eyebrow: "You really count more than me."

Gao Wen smiled and said nothing.

In the face of such a disaster, he does have to calculate it earnestly, but he cannot simply calculate human life as a number. He also wants to consider the future development after the war, to consider the maintenance of social order, to consider the gains and losses of the human heart, to consider the history of the official's pen, but also to consider the means of fighting against the disaster from the infected, to consider how to save more people. - A ruthless commander may be able to count only the head, but what a ruler has to calculate is more than that.

He looked up and looked at the north through the crystal glass embedded in the door.

......

The cluster giant Corode retracted his sight of the South.

The troops that entered the Rumburg area - although only temporarily recruited by the squadron - were killed in such a short period of time.

Due to the distance limitation, he could not clearly "see" what happened to the teams responsible for the expansion to the south, but from the limited signal, he could still perceive that moment broke out in hundreds of clusters of giants. The high temperature of the heat, and the thunderous illusion of loud noise, this may be some kind of extremely powerful spell attack, there is a high probability that the plural legendary Master entered the battlefield...

Whatever the reason, it is worth raising vigilance.

It is not long ago that there was another team that was ordered to destroy the invaders. It also suffered an incomprehensible and fierce blow. In a short period of time, Korod thought that those Cecils who wandered out of the South were not good at dealing with them. I am afraid I am ready for this war.

Although the Legion is strong, it must also be careful of the strong enemy from behind.

After the end of the operation, it is necessary to return to Red Maple City to remind the lord of the church from the core of the church.

And now, it's time to focus on the battlefield.

Corod looked up, and the image that had been turned into a crystal reflected the scene in the city of Boulder—the city was almost destroyed by the Legion, and more than 80% of the area became ruined, but a blizzard shrouded it. In the last castle area, the numerous blade-like ice skates and deadly cold made the cluster giants difficult.

Commander Heaton ordered the Legion to take down its castle area in three days.

Corode has a slight disdain for this order - although he recognizes the absolute authority of the priest, he knows that the priest does not understand the military, he is just a powerful dark druid, the spell may be powerful However, he did not fight at all, and Corod himself was once one of the best aristocratic officers of the Eastern Army.

Of course, those days have passed, but the experience accumulated over those days is still useful.

As a person who often deals with the battlefield, Korode knows that it is not enough to have morale and soldiers to capture the castle. The last mountain corps and the powerful "Northern Queen" occupy the geographical advantage and occupy the castle area. The magic net, and a legendary level magician is very good at managing his own energy. In the case of stable casting environment and continuous external magic support, the "Northern Queen" relies on some auxiliary instruments. It can even keep the blizzard around the castle for a whole month – and the material stored in the castle is enough for her and her legions to stay longer than that.

But it doesn't matter, Korod has a good way to be his own.

An excavation team has set off and is digging an underground tunnel along the corner of the castle. The leader of the excavation team is the original lord of Boulder.

Of course, the lord has embraced evolution and has become a member of the new era.

Under the leadership of the former lords, the excavation team will attack the fortress protected by the blizzard from the ground.

But they certainly can't just break into the castle's inner court. There is no way to kill the Victoria Wilder inside or destroy the powerful mountain corps. In fact, they can't even get close to the inner wall of the castle. A legendary mage can't be without himself. The enchantment is set around the cast area, and as long as the tunnel is dug near Victoria, the excavation team will definitely be exposed in an instant.

Their real mission... is to destroy the magic network nodes in the outer layer of the castle, destroy the integrity of the magic net, and break the magic of the "Northern Queen."

Only the lord of Boulder City knows the location of each magic net node, because those magic nets are set by the lord, and although Victoria Verde is a Duke of Regency, he does not necessarily know what is in the house of Lord Stone City. detail……

Corode stared at the seemingly blizzard in the castle area, his face slowly showing a smile.

In the vague sense of the spirit, he can sense that the excavation team is still alive and is still digging deep.

In the past, the Earl of Corrod, the commander of the Giants today turned around and told the men next to him: "The storm stopped and attacked."
