Release that Witch Chapter 1153: The real monster

The next day, Tower 9 station.

The United Front officers and decision makers who have been busy with Neverwinter for more than a week have finally returned to the frontline command post.

But today it can't count as a true front line.

Agatha noticed that on the map marked with the defensive circle, the railway front had almost approached the range of 15 kilometers from the ruins of Taqila, and the five kilometers radius was divided into green "safe areas". In the area nearly three kilometers in front of the ruins, a bright red appeared, which is obviously the most vivid change in a week.

"You're finally back," Morning Light Ferlin Schilt rushed forward and offered a standard military salute to everyone.

The army and other members of Adviser Department also stood up, saluting salute with joy, presumably to see the return of the backbone, and everyone's eyes were relieved.

This ease also slightly relieved the Agatha, colleagues can laugh out, at least it means that the sudden "dangerous area" does not threaten the entire torch plan.

"Good work, it seems that everyone has not been idle these days." Iron Axe nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the map and tapped the map, "Ferlin, you report situation, Devil this is what I got Reinforcement? "

"No, sir," Morning Light replied, "that was a trench dug by the enemy."

"Ditch?"

"Ms. Silvie was the earliest to discover the movement of the other party. A part of Devil climbed out of the red mist corruption site and started the excavation work six days ago. Afterwards, Miss Lightning confirmed the situation and noticed that Devil was active in the trench. , So it's marked as a dangerous area. "

Iron Axe and Edith, Agatha looked at each other, "Trenches?"

"We think so, because according to Lightning's hand drawing, although it looks extremely crude at first glance, its general layout is very similar to the trench in front of the First Army position. The front and back transverse trenches are separated by ten to tens of meters. , And there are many vertical trenches connected. "Ferlin booth spread a rather rough drawing in front of everyone," The biggest difference with us is that Devil has more vertical trenches for gradual retreat, and basically They are all on the same line, and the deviation is at most two meters, so that the whole looks more regular. "

"They are learning humans." Agatha whispered.

If the rumors before the first War of Divine Will are taken as facts, it means that after nearly a thousand years, Devil once again imitated humans.

"Somewhat interesting," Edith said after pondering the sketch. "Those vertical grooves may not be used for retreat, but for offense."

"Yeah," Iron Axe agreed, "hiding in the ditch can indeed reduce the chance of being hit by shrapnel, but they do not have the weapon that can compete with the stronghold cannon. Only a few trenches can not change the situation. Only by entering the First Army position can we hope to win. "

"That ’s why they fixed the trenches so close?" Ferlin also responded quickly, "If they are all next to each other, they can really shorten the time for traveling."

"What should we do?" Agatha asked.

"Nothing needs to change." Pearl of the Northern Lands sneered, "Wait for them to reach the range of cannon and let Black River fire then it will be alright. Although it is a bit wasteful, Your Majesty has prepared sufficient ammunition for this decisive battle ... I would like to see See if they can face the fire and dig trenches in front of us. "

Iron Axe looks to Ferlin, "Is the construction of the railway going smoothly recently?"

"The enemy's counterattack is a lot intensive, but the damage caused is not great." The latter reported, "wild demon is almost a impossible thing to approach the position, so they rarely send ground troops to attack the main It is mainly Dread Beast. However, judging from the number of ten to fifteen sent at a time, it is estimated that there are very few Dread Beasts that can fly in Taqila. Without high rank Devil cover, we can leave more Dread Beast. "

"Are Magic Chopper dispatched again?" Agatha frowned.

"More than once." Ferlin nodded. "And it attracts the firepower of the anti-aircraft gun squad every time, and Dread Beast launches an attack immediately afterwards." Speaking here, he looked dignified, "only every time I watch It was then that I felt ... I was fighting a real monster. "

"How do you say?" Edith curiously.

"It is often inserted into the position from the weakest position of defense. After landing, it can suddenly make the person watching it look for a few seconds. This is still under the soldiers wearing God Punishment Stone situation." Ferlin slowly said, "If there is no God stone protects workers who hide into bunker , but can't control their curiosity, will be caught in extreme panic. People who are closer to it will be more severely affected, while Dread Beast waiting in the clouds is Will take advantage of this gap to launch a raid. Although each battle Silvie will inform the front line in advance, it is still not easy to intercept a target that dives down from the top, not to mention that one or two hits cannot bring it deadly. Harm. At present our best battle result is to break one arm of the enemy after it landed. "

"It seems that the other party is not so lucky," Pearl of the Northern Lands smiled.

"The problem is that when it reappears a few days later, the broken arm has been restored as if it hadn't been hit at all." Ferlin smiled a little bit bitterly, "if only that That's it, we have Miss Nana, they may also have some special treatment, just ... "

"Just what?" Iron Axe asked in a deep voice.

"Several groups of soldiers reacted to Adviser Department. They felt that Magic Chopper's movements became more and more difficult to capture, as if they were gradually adapting to this level of combat. Previously, a machine gun could seal its course of action. Force it to change direction, but now it can only be done with the cooperation of two or three teams. Without these weapon and God Punishment Stone invented by Your Majesty, I guess ... it may kill us all by our own power. "

"In the Federation era, they did." Agatha gritted his teeth. "And as long as it doesn't die, it can be used for the next battle."

"As long as ... not dead?"

"high rank Devil evolved from constant battles. The heavier the injury, the stronger it will be when it comes back. This is true both in terms of magic power and combat skills. There are many Exceeds who die on their hands. , Not only failed to cross that level, but made them go further. "ice witch closed his eyes," but not every Devil can survive a serious injury and can recover in such a short time, it may only be itself Ability! "

"Do you mean ... a high rank Devil with both curse and self-healing ability?" Iron Axe's expression was grim.

"It's very likely." When Agatha reopened his eyes, only ice-like pupils remained firm, "Ferlin is right, this is a real monster. If you let it evacuate safely, I am afraid that It will bring us unimaginable trouble. We must be here in this place where the Holy City falls, and destroy it completely! "
