late at night.
The border defense zone of the Skyfort.
Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard in the silent night sky, and a ray of fire broke through the night curtain, broke through the air, and landed on a hill shelter on the defense line. The fire suddenly burst out, and a series of explosions were heard, throwing a large amount of mud and rocks out. Several Skyfort soldiers in the shelter were blown to pieces before they could even scream.
A sharp and piercing alarm immediately sounded in the defense zone, and bright beams of light swept across the ground in front of the defense line. Points of light rose into the sky, and then exploded with strong light in the night sky, instantly illuminating the earth as bright as day.
In the distance, tanks were seen advancing towards the defense line. All kinds of heavy firepower weapons were aimed at the defense line and roared. The fierce firepower made the soldiers of the Skyfort unable to raise their heads.
It was not until several "holding force fields" appeared that the Skyfort was able to organize a counterattack. However, compared with the well-prepared Thunderfort, the Skyfort's firepower was obviously not as strong as the opponent.
Even if a three-dimensional armed force was deployed to the battlefield, it would be difficult to change the status quo.
Jingtao Fort was fully prepared this time. In addition to the fortress's army, there were also a large number of family private armies and masters participating.
The news of Duanguanshan's detention had already spread throughout Jingtao Castle. When the families received the news, they all understood the signal sent by Lin Yuanwu.
In this fortress war, no one can stand idly by and everyone has to get involved in this muddy water, otherwise, the Duan family will be set an example.
So when receiving Lin Yuanwu's order, all the families, big and small, in Jingtao Fort did not dare to neglect it, and they all sent out their own troops and strong men to participate in the battle tonight.
On the battlefield, the elemental hearts of Castle Jingtao joined forces to cast various abilities. Fire, wind, frost, and various elemental storms ravaged Castle Qingtian's defense line.
Although Skyfort had invested a lot of manpower and resources in this border defense line, it was no match for the full force of Stormfort. Several fortress-level officers held on hard, but they could not hold out for long.
At this moment, in the army of Jingtao Castle, an Elemental Heart released his ability and relaxed a little. At this moment, sparks suddenly flew from the hull of the chariot he was in. Then a wave of blood suddenly exploded from the neck of the Elemental Heart, and half of his neck was blown off by bullets!
"Sniper!"
The warriors of Jingtao Fort shouted: "Seek cover, be careful of snipers!"
Just as the voice sounded, another Elemental Heart was sniped and killed. The commander of Jingtao Fort shouted, "All Elemental Hearts, return to the chariots, quickly!"
"Besides, I need someone to clean up the snipers."
Immediately, a figure from the convoy rushed out like a phantom. It could be vaguely seen that the man had disheveled hair, a little red light burning deep in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a crazy smile.
He was like a bloodthirsty beast, smelling blood and moving at the moment. In a blink of an eye, he crossed the battlefield and plunged into the hill where the defense line of the Sky Castle was located.
"Who was that just now?"
"It's Commander Sinfoun."
"Is his hair down?"
"Um."
"Tell everyone that Commander Sin has attacked with his hair loose."
"Let him handle that area. Others should not go there and seek death."
Hearing this warning, a new soldier looked at his companions in confusion: "Don't we need support?"
An old soldier laughed dryly and said, "Captain Sinquan's mental state is sometimes unstable. When his hair is disheveled, it means he has entered a state of madness. If anyone offends him at this time, he will not care whether you are a friendly army or not, he will kill you first."
"Remember, when you see the officer, you can only approach him if he has his hair tied up."
The battle continues.
Two hours later, the defense line of the Skyfort was broken, and the army of the Thunderbolts Fort marched straight in without stopping, deep into the territory of the Skyfort, and ran hundreds of miles under the cover of night. By daybreak, they had captured several strongholds.
Its daybreak.
In the supply base, Chu Yan strode towards the command room and shouted as soon as he entered: "What is the current situation?"
"Our border was breached by Stormwind Castle last night."
"The main force of Jingtao Fort has penetrated 135 kilometers into our territory and occupied five strongholds including a supply station."
"The troops on the border have already evacuated and will join up with the Third Detachment in the morning."
"The army of Jingtao Castle is still gathering. The number of troops will at least double in 24 hours."
Chu Yan snorted: "Lin Yuanwu, this old guy, wants to bet all his chips..."
He turned around and shouted, "Send the Night Walker over here, and have the Formation Breaker report to me when he arrives."
As orders were issued one after another, the originally peaceful atmosphere in the territory of Skyfort was suddenly broken. The troops in the territory were mobilized on a large scale, and everyone felt the atmosphere before the coming of the war.
... ... ... ..
Due to the fortress war, Karawumen has been in a semi-closed state during this period. Except for the personnel of the fortress, gold diggers have suspended their exploration applications.
As a result, the forward base behind the Clave Gate ushered in the quietest moment in nearly fifty years.
Only staff to maintain daily operations and a garrison of about a hundred people were left at the forward base. After nearly a hundred years of sweeping this place, there were no illegal immigrants within a few hundred kilometers, so there was no need to invest too much manpower here.
The base is quiet today, and even the high-speed trains that usually travel between other bases have stopped running.
A sentry post outside the base.
Several soldiers wearing full-body protective suits were patrolling the surrounding area as usual.
"I don't know what's going on outside now. We should have driven away Jingtao Castle, right?"
"When I came here, I heard that Commander Chu Yan had already gone to the front line in person. With him out there, there's nothing to be afraid of with Jingtao Fort."
"Actually I want to go to the front line. The adversary world is too depressing. It's really uncomfortable here."
"Come on, if you go to the front line, you might get scared to death before the battle even starts."
Several soldiers were talking intermittently, and suddenly, the sound of wind was faintly heard above their heads.
call-
A soldier looked up and said, "Strange, did you hear the wind?"
"Is the wind blowing?"
"I have been in the Reverse Realm for five years and have never heard of wind blowing in the Reverse Realm. Did you hear it wrong?"
"Also a possibility."
The soldier was about to lower his head when suddenly something flashed by in the sky. When he looked up again to catch it, he saw nothing.
But at this moment, his whole body suddenly shook, and he felt a chill on his back and chest at the same time. Then, he couldn't help coughing up blood in the helmet.
What's wrong with me
The soldier's vision began to blur. He looked out from his helmet and saw several of his companions looking at him with fear on their faces.
Only through the visor of one of the soldiers' helmet did he see a piece of sword blade sticking out of his chest.
This sword blade is very strange. It is made of black silk threads woven together. Those silk threads seem to be in motion, making the "sword" look like there is black light constantly flowing.
Then the soldier felt a shock.
He felt a sense of emptiness, fell to the ground, and his consciousness quickly fell into darkness.
The remaining soldiers clearly saw that the one who killed their companions was a humanoid creature, without facial features, with a grayish-white body and a faint glow. It had long arms and legs, and a pair of insect-like wings spread out behind it.
In one hand it held a sword, and in the other a small round shield.
The wings, sword, and round shield are all woven with black silk thread.
This gray creature without any facial features floated towards the soldiers with a light posture like surging clouds. It waved the black sword in its hand, and the sword suddenly spread out and turned into a dense black silk thread that slashed across several soldiers.
The black silk was released and then retracted in an instant, weaving into the shape of a sword again.
The soldiers didn't know what was happening. Soon, hair-thin cracks appeared on the visors of their helmets, and these cracks formed a grid pattern.
Then, the protective suits on them, the rifles in their hands and even their bodies turned into pieces in an instant, and flesh and blood rolled all over the ground.
This gray creature flapped its wings gently and flew into the air, heading towards the forward base not far away.
Behind it, in the darkness, a dark tide was rolling in... .
... ... .
Skyfort Military Logistics Department.
Old Xu took out his ID card and swiped it on the register, and his attendance record immediately appeared in the instrument.
"Brother Xu, I heard that the food in the restaurant at noon today was pretty good. I took a look when I passed by this morning. Wow, such a big fish, still alive and kicking."
A young man with short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes gestured.
Old Xu slapped him on the head in annoyance: "Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. I've been living a lazy life enough, but you're even more lazy than me. It's only nine o'clock in the morning, and you're already thinking about lunch."
Several team members burst into laughter.
Old Xu clenched his fist and coughed, "Let's go on patrol."
He led this group of new recruits who had just joined the army out of the room and started the day's work. Those responsible for the security of the logistics department were either injured veterans or new recruits who had just joined the army and had little combat experience.
Veterans like Lao Xu who have all their limbs intact and are also sublimators are rare. Originally, people like him should be transferred to the front line, where they can perform better.
But Old Xu found someone with connections and got a doctor's certificate for chronic disease, and since he was not young anymore, he was transferred to the Logistics Department to take up a sinecure.
"Brother Xu, I heard that you used to be a night walker. Is the job of a night walker very dangerous? Can you tell us about it?"
A clever boy asked with a grin.
Old Xu laughed. "The job of a night walker is not dangerous. It's like having your head on your waist. You can lose your life at any time. Every time we go on a mission, we are prepared to not come back."
"You brats, you don't understand how dangerous the world of adversity is."
The new soldier whispered, "I want to go, but the higher-ups won't let me."
Old Xu was about to teach him a lesson when suddenly, the broadcast in the square sounded: "Attention, attention, all combatants must assemble at the transfer platform immediately."
"Attention, attention, all combatants, assemble at the transfer platform immediately."
The broadcast was repeated, leaving the recruits confused. Someone asked Lao Xu, "Captain, do we need to go?"
