She Is Not a Witch Chapter 161: Nature and machinery
Crancia, Jiansongcheng.
It has been nearly a year since the last time the Golem Legion soldiers of the Frost Union came to the city. Now this mountain city has changed a lot.
The gray and white mottled towering stone walls seal the entire valley, and the river below has a very thick steel fence to block the advance of the enemy.
The turrets are distributed above the fortress, and some are built on the hills on both sides, overlooking the canyon below.
It is now the season of early February, and the previously peaceful mountain valleys have long been broken by the hustle and bustle of war. A metal golem stepped heavily on the broken warm pebbles by the river, aiming the muzzle at the strong and towering canyon fortress, and the crimson magic torrent poured out like money.
As dusk approached, highly compressed magic shells surged through the air. The original spherical shape was also deformed into an ellipse due to the compression impact. They fell on the city wall and exploded violently.
The flying rocks and sound waves spread outwards, setting off a gray dust mist, and then leaving ugly cracks in the fortress.
The golem that attacked Jian Songcheng this time is not like the old model before. This golem roaring and shooting out artillery on the ground has the lowest level of Sequence 4, and many of them are equivalent to Sequence 5. The elite golem. There was also a Sequence 7 high-level giant golem in the rear supervising the battle, and it did not take it lightly.
In Jiansong City, a hidden command point in the fortress.
Digital staff officers are moving various signs on the map, quickly discussing possible situations and opportunities. At the open door, a number of messengers come in from time to time to report on the current situation and situation. After getting the staff and After the generals responded, they left quickly.
After finishing the discussion for the time being, a general wearing a silver-gray armor took a binoculars to observe the battle ahead, and then issued a new order to the waiting messenger beside him.
"Let the artillery on the hills on both sides prepare. When the turrets in the middle send out the firing signal, they will fire together, striving to kill a large number of enemy golems within the best range."
"Yes, General Saige!" The soldier immediately walked out of this hidden observation point and gave orders to the hills on both sides.
At this moment, the resolute-looking general put down the telescope in his hand, and he looked at another young man in the room who was dressed in a different way.
"What does Mr. Tug think the outcome of this battle? Is it to repel the enemy as before, or do we have to abandon this fortress."
The young mage leaning on the wall is closing his eyes and resting. He is wearing a dark blue and white mage robe, with a badge and gold chain on his chest.
After hearing the general's question, Tug opened his eyes, looked at the huge moving golems in the distance, and sighed.
"This time is different. It seems that Hanshuang Rose is determined to open the battle."
"Look." He lifted his hand and pointed at the tall golem in the valley that was roaring and spraying magical torrents.
"That is the'hate-3r' type golem. This high-level golem has abandoned the powerful shells and used the impact torrent of magic infusion processing to shoot, making it less demanding for logistics. Continuous rotation A mage above Sequence 5 can perform uninterrupted attacks. Only one golem can smash nearly 10 artillery pieces, and its defenses are also very strong."
"Even the former Ruhrner, there are not many such elite and expensive golems. They used to be stationed at the border to defend against verdant invasions. They did not expect that they would dare to take such a risk this time. The Legion is also dispatched."
"If we keep fighting hard, I am afraid that the soldiers in the entire fortress will die under the fiery torrent of its bombardment."
Hearing that SEG's expression is getting serious, he asked: "Then do you have any good suggestions?"
Tug tapped his finger and paused for a few seconds before continuing to answer.
"If the southern route is not closed now, we can still ask the group of tyrant dragons to rush to destroy these golems, but now... we don’t have a good way. Now we can use it. The power is too weak to destroy these solid golems under fierce gunfire."
"So, I still recommend that you prepare for the retreat in advance and try to transfer the soldiers in the fortress to avoid unnecessary casualties."
"Retreat, retire again." Sai Ge angrily slammed his fist against the wall and gritted his teeth.
In the last retreat, many people he knew and knew died in the battle. Unexpectedly, after 2 years, it is still the result. What are the fortresses and defenses that I have worked hard to build in the past two years? Familiar faces from the past appeared in his mind, causing waves of sadness in his heart.
Is everything in vain? It is difficult for him to accept such a result. He slammed his fist against the stone wall, loudly and loudly.
The several staff officers on the side were also taken aback by its momentum, and stopped the previous discussion and looked at the general who was out of control.
The time passed slowly, and the outside artillery fire continued. After a long time, the general took a deep breath before turning around.
"Sorry, I made you laugh, but I didn't control my emotions." His eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Nothing." Tug shook his head slightly, saying he didn't mind, he understood the general's feelings.
Since coming to New Wilga and Crancia, he has seen those brave and respectable soldiers sacrificed in the battlefield more than once. These people may have never left their hometown before, nor do they know the strangers, but for the country today, they are willing to dedicate their lives and fight for their homeland and dignity.
In the army, these comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death together have a very deep feeling between them, which is not comparable to that of the temporarily recruited soldiers of other countries.
"If we still have to retreat in the end, what do you think we should do so that we can inflict the greatest damage and stop them for a longer period of time." He asked again.
"About this..." Tuge pushed the glasses on his nose, opened the thick blue-and-white book in his hand, picked up the pen and began to draw and calculate the drafts.
After that, the two of them continued to discuss with the digital staff in the room, and finally made up a detailed plan.
————
The difference between the orderly Crancia defenders is that Frost Rose's attack is much quicker.
A fiery torrent pierced the sky and flooded the shooting port on the fortress. Then, under the cover of some cheap earth and rock golems, a frost united soldier approached below the fortress. They used the golems to eject. The rope that came out, climbed up along the fortress wall, and his feet were also wearing special shoes to prevent slipping.
These elite soldiers carried mechanical guns and swords with them, turned into the bombing holes, and then entered the inner lanes of the fortress, ready to directly attack the garrisoned artillery and kill the vulnerable enemies inside.
"This time I finally succeeded." Behind Hanshuang United, a woman in her 20s put down the telescope in her hand and said cheerfully and proudly.
The woman's name is Hedley. She is the commander of this group of golems and the leader of the younger generation of the alchemy faction "Black and Red Flame". Although he is only 28 years old, he has reached the level of Magic Sequence 7 and is optimistic by all parties, who think it may be possible to reach the extreme of Sequence 9.
This time on the battlefield was her first time to command combat. Even though she was born a famous family and has extraordinary strength, but she couldn't attack for a long time, it still made her feel annoyed.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is already a rare genius, not only graduated from Emenas, but also the daughter of the leader of the Rulna faction, with a bright future. But she also has to face competition from many more outstanding peers.
I don't know what caused it. Starting from the past few years, various geniuses that were rare in the past have emerged in various countries. At the same age, they are more dazzling and stronger than the previous generations.
"After I go back this time, I must slap the **** in the face of Tirela fiercely, and dare to **** a man with me."
She watched sparks explode from the shooting ports in the distant fortress, and then fell silent, with a slanted smile on her face. Recalling the genius of the same age who had a body that seduce others, she began to imagine how she would become the opponent's boss by virtue of her military merits and then wantonly suppress the other party.
"Hahaha, Tirela, I want to see what else you are commendable about besides the appearance of seduce a man. Isn’t it just a year earlier than me to advance to Magic Sequence 7? Look at me later. Rotten your hypocritical mask, let you show your true identity."
As geniuses who graduated from the same college in the same year as Tirela, the relationship between the two can be described as bad. Although Hedley has a lot of power in the family, more people around them prefer Tirela, who is gentle and understanding. And every time the people around him defend Tirera, Hedley will resent him even more, thinking that it is blocking her own brilliance.
And just as this genius alchemist was dreaming about the future, the battlefield ahead suddenly changed.
On the hills on both sides, the soil slopes where trees grew everywhere suddenly collapsed, revealing the dark shooting turrets inside. Following an order came from it, a fierce fire suddenly lit up, and heavy shells directly smashed from the side to the golem formation below.
The rubble splashed, and some golems were directly shattered by the artillery fire from the backside. Black smoke and broken metal were scattered everywhere, and bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the valley.
The inferior earth and rock golems that had previously protected the troops from climbing and attacking were also shattered by artillery fire. Blocked the way for the Frost Union soldiers to continue their attack on the inside.
In the fortress, SEG took the elite guards around him and began to sweep away the enemy troops who came in for destruction.
Several Frost Union soldiers with mechanical blunderbuss galloped through the lanes. They kicked open the closed doors, and then pressed the button on the hilt, and the magic spar in it was connected to the engraved law. In the formation, a dark red light covered the sword body to increase the effect of sundering armor, and then slashed and killed the enemies in the room, trying to be caught off guard, and then drastically destroyed the artillery and other materials in the fortress.
Ping-pong-pong, the sound of metal screaming sounded everywhere, and bursts of explosions came from the room, and then they walked out of it and rushed to the shooting opening in the next fortress.
"That's it for you!" Saige pulled out the dark golden dagger around his waist and looked at the small but elite enemy army in front of him.
"Kill!" With a stern shout, the red light mark and the golden sword light collided with each other, and the two sides began a fierce battle in the lane.
嚓——
A blazing sword light flashed, and several Frost Union soldiers were knocked directly to the wall behind them, and then they slowly slid down, bleeding out bright red blood, and there was no sound anymore.
Although the equipment of this group of people is very good, but SEG, as the general of Crancia, and outstanding meritorious service, is not only stronger, but also has received the gift of the sage, and now it has reached the sequence. At a level of 7, dealing with such an enemy is naturally easy.
————
Outside the fortress, under the cross of the artillery on the hills on both sides, the Golem Legion had to suspend its attack on the fortress and instead dealt with the bunker on the mountain.
As he stabilized his position and blasted the muzzles on the hills one by one, the situation slowly turned to the Frost Union. What's more deadly is that on the other side of the sky, there began to hear bursts of roaring through the air.
An airship slowly approached in the purple sunset, and then dropped heavy bombs, directly blasting a huge gap in the center of the fortress.
Seeing this scene, the defenders in the fortress finally began to retreat, and the shooting ports slowly stopped.
A group of cheap earth and rock golems stepped forward again to clear the road, and then the soldiers and follow-up elite golems from the Frost Union continued to enter the fortress.
"Do you need a chase, Lord Hedley?" A mage flew from the side and landed next to the commander of the golem legion.
"Of course, these people must be slaughtered." Hedley had a cruel smile on her face.
"Yes." The mage returned to his golem, and then a rush of chase orders spread around.
Under the towering fortress, there is a dark and dense valley and jungle, one by one Croatian soldiers hide in it, and they are retreating to the north. They gradually spread out to avoid enemy bombing.
However, the Frost Union obviously didn’t want to let these opponents go so easily. Their airships swept across the sky like death in the night, and then huge flame meteors fell from the sky and hit the dark ground, setting off countless oranges. Light and airflow.
The flame licked the air, crackled and burned, and the suffocating heat wave began to spread, reflecting the earth like daylight, and many soldiers wailed and ran in it. Even if they had made preparations and arrangements in advance, they still could not guarantee Everyone survived.
In the face of this wanton destruction and burning, there was a whistling sound from the distant sky.
When Hedley and other high-level mages noticed it, a group of flying silhouettes appeared in the sky at some point. These birds, which are only half a meter wide, have deep blue sharp wings, just like flying sharp sickles. Separate the atmosphere and everything.
"That's..." They wondered suspiciously, and in the dark jungle, a wizard from the Southern Islands said the answer.
"They are beheading sparrows from the Tiziran Mountains."
With the cover of night, these decapitated sparrows flashed through the random release of magical shots, easily splitting the metal shell of the airship, tearing and sharp sounds rang out in the night sky, and then the fragile mechanical structure of the airship was exposed. , And then continue to be damaged.
More than 30 airships swayed in the sky as if drunk, and finally couldn’t hold it. They fell into the sea of fire below and smashed to pieces. Various structures were set off in the flames and then scattered again. The flames spread, and many ordinary people who had no time to escape let out painful wailing one after another.
"Fuck!" Hedley couldn't help but explode.
She dived into the huge golem under her body, and then a magnificent golem slowly rose on the ground, stepping over the fortress lined with rubble, and walking into the sea of fire behind it. Looking at the night sky in the mountains and forests.
This golem has a sharp and sharp outer armor. With the brilliance of the surface, steam is sprayed out, and the hatches open, and a series of fast-flying silver and blue swords fly out from behind, straight into the night sky. .
These silver-blue swords are shining with electric light, and their blades are extremely sharp. After sweeping the night sky, they directly strangle the beheading sparrows in that sky, and their feathers and blood are scattered like rain.
"Can't continue like this." A faint sigh sounded in the dark mountains and jungles, and he opened the fluorescent book in front of him. The ordinary books on weekdays burst out with bright blue light as if they were transparent at this moment. The pages of the books were turned, and a series of spells emerged from the sky, like hundreds of voices chanting together.
But if you listen carefully, you will find that these voices are one person.
Tuge opened his hands, letting the books in front of him float slowly, surrounded by green and cold whirlwinds, a striking beam of light rose from the ground, penetrated into the sky, and spread out continuously.
And this kind of momentum naturally attracted Hedley to drive the giant golem. With a wave of her hand, hundreds of silver and blue swords came through the air and plunged into the high-speed chanting mage.
But the ‘Book of Iris’ tile has finished casting the spell at this moment, and a light green transparent butterfly wing rises from the pages of the book.
"Fairy Village Secret Art·Natural Awakening." With this call, the beam of light suddenly spread, spreading around like a ripple.
After that, the land and forest in the sea of fire seemed to come to life.
The land seemed to be swimming like living creatures, constantly surging, and many golems fell in the shaking ground, and then struggled to stand up.
"Here, what is this!?" There was panic in his voice.
A branch of tree roots pierced the earth to bring a damp atmosphere~IndoMTL.com~ They spread like snakes, extinguishing the flames, dragging the golems into the depths of the soil, burying them under the soil, and then sealing them Asphyxiated and died.
The giant golem roared silently, and a fiery beam of light spouted from its chest, sweeping across the ground, cutting off thousands of raging tree roots, and then gathering turbulent flame magic power with its fists. When it hit, a crimson shock wave broke out on the ground, shattering the roots of the trees that were about to emerge.
Seeing this scene, the roots of the earth and the soil also changed the course of their scattered attacks. They continued to gather towards this giant golem, entwined and climbed upwards, strangling and blocking its actions, and step by step. Drag into the sunken and muddy soil.
The roaring war machinery roared fiercely, shaking and sawtooth cutting the roots of the evil and strange trees, vowing to burn and destroy the place.
The growing plant is like an immortal ghost, tightly entwined, even if it is cut off, it will grow again, and it is bound to destroy the ruthless machinery that destroys nature and bury it deeply.
In the mud and flames, the cold living creatures and the hot dead creatures strangle each other.
——And now, nature is at odds with machinery.
