With the alarm, the front line immediately entered the highest alert state in accordance with the emergency response. .
"Quick, quick! Throw away the tools in your hand and find the closest shelter to you!" The soldiers in charge of evacuation led the engineering team to evacuate the construction site one after another, "Don't push, don't look around! Remember, no matter what happens outside, don't let it go. Leave the shelter without authorization!"
"Vault 6 is full!"
"No. 7 can't be stuffed anymore!"
"Go back, go to the next shelter, don't block the passage, move!"
This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Although the soldiers scolded one after another, the atmosphere at the scene seemed quite tense, but the order was not lost.
Nearly 2,000 workers dispersed like a tide, and entered underground bunkers one after another along the preset evacuation channel. These temporary shelters opened by lotus were located behind the defense line. It can effectively resist spear attacks and machine gun fire. As long as the outer circle does not fall, hiding in it means safety.
After the crowd retreated, the originally brightly lit construction site was quickly shrouded in darkness.
"The evacuation of the engineering team is basically completed, the lights are controlled normally, and the First Army is entering the position." Sylvie quickly looked around and communicated the latest situation to each unit. At this moment, the observation room erected above the theater headquarters can be said to be the busiest place on the front line. More than ten phones on the long table rang in turn, making people overwhelmed; the staff responsible for answering sat around the table to confirm the news. Sylvie will not be notified until after the importance of it.
On the other hand, there are many staff officers who aggregate the information and feed it back to the sand table or map, providing a key basis for the headquarters' decision-making.
If Sylvie was the "eye" of the army in the past, now the observation room built around her has become the information center of the entire army. As long as she is in charge, the operational efficiency of the First Army can be several times higher than usual.
"Yes... Yes, I understand. Miss Sylvie, Artillery Battalion Vanner is calling, I hope you can provide the enemy's position and the coordinates of the test."
"And Heihe No. 1 and No. 2 also sent the same request!"
"Let them wait a little longer," Sylvie swept the line in front of his eyes. The advancing speed of "Black Shadow" was not fast, it was probably a little slower than walking, and he had just entered the ten-kilometer shooting circle. At this rate, it may take five or six hours to get to the front of the position. Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out the intention behind the devil. What kind of tricks are they trying to use the blind spot of the Stone of Retaliation
When mana detection is ineffective, eyes are undoubtedly the most reliable method.
She picked up the listening talisman, "Lightning, Maisie, can you hear my voice? Where are you now?"
"Just after lift-off, Maisie was on top of my head." After a while, another talisman came from the other side's answer, and at the same time, there was a high-pitched siren, "What happened? The devil launched an attack on us. Are you attacking?"
"It looks very similar, but the enemy interfered with the observation of the magic eye, and the scope is very large. I guess it is the same as last time, I am afraid it is a large stone of punishment."
"Understood, I'll go take a look."
"Leave it to us!"
Compared with the tense and busy atmosphere in the observation room, in Lightning's eyes, the battlefield at this time was another look.
The firelight under his feet is shrinking little by little, as if being swallowed up by the night. And the earth in the distance is even darker, appearing deep and silent.
The fertile plains seemed to be still in a deep sleep, and there was no sign of war coming.
If it wasn't for Sylvie's alarm, it would be hard to imagine that the enemy had already rushed towards them.
"Maggie, turn on the night vision mode!"
"Cuckoo!"
I saw the feathers of the white pigeon swelled rapidly, wrapping the body into a ball, and then a gigantic head drilled out of the feathers, and the round eyes almost occupied the entire eye socket.
"The owl has been transformed, goo!"
"Then go"
Lightning supported the "giant owl" above her head with both hands and flew to the northeast.
However, before he could get close to Taquila, he heard Sylvie's urgent call from the talisman, "The investigation is cancelled, you two come back soon! The Demon Slayer is on the move!"
Lightning suddenly shuddered, and even her limbs seemed to be a lot stiffer. After trying her best to suppress the fear in her heart, she bit her lip and replied, "Even so, it shouldn't be so easy to find me. And... I'll return now. If so, there is no way for the devil to know what the devil is trying to hide with the divine stone, right?"
"But"
"Don't worry, it can't catch up with me just by flying the magic stone, as long as it avoids its large-scale magic ban."
Lightning clenched her fists even though her palms were sweating, but she didn't want to keep running away like this. More than half a year of battlefield experience made her understand that she is not a brave person, not only the witch of God's Punishment, but even the ordinary old man like the train conductor is much braver than her.
But she is not facing all this alone. Behind her are Maisie, Lorgar, Joan... and many partners who support her, so that she has the courage to start over after facing herself.
From recovering a little bit to detecting the devil again, she crossed one level after another, and finally came to the place where she fell six months ago.
There are only two hurdles to overcome.
Flying before the Demon Slayer, and...
Give it a hard blow in return for hurting itself!
"Maisie, the other party's movements will be left to you." Lightning unbuttoned the collar and forced the owl into the flight suit, leaving only one head exposed, and then directly entered a distance of only ten kilometers at the speed of sound. Can keep flying at high speed all the time!
"Zi... Be careful, the enemy... Zi... noticed you..." Probably due to the influence of the magic power synchrony, Sylvie's voice suddenly became intermittent.
Even without this reminder, Lightning knew that he had exposed that as long as the devil wasn't deaf, he could undoubtedly hear this boom that crossed the sound barrier.
But her movements were faster than the sound, which also meant that by the time the enemy heard the explosion, she had already passed over their heads.
After a few breaths, Maisie's eagle eyes caught the target.
"That monster is right in front of you!"
By the hazy moonlight, before Lightning could find the Demon Slayer, a circle of black light suddenly spread out!
There is no doubt that the high-level devil's low-light vision is still higher than Maisie. The other party not only saw her, but also approached her flight path as close as possible, and directly launched the forbidden magic field when it could not be intercepted.
In an instant, she increased her speed to the limit, and changed from level flight to dive!
For a moment, Lightning even felt that the eerie, cold black light had caught her ankle. But the illusion quickly dissipated, and within a breath, she had left the black light far behind. After breaking through the Demon Slayer's interception, there was nothing threatening in front of her. She pulled up again and traversed the entire devil's position in a straight arc, taking in all the changes below.
In the dim moonlight, Lightning saw two large sacred stones that had been shaved into cylindrical shapes and were being pushed forward as if they were rolling stones. The size of the stone pillar is astonishing, at least 20 meters long and nearly three meters high. At first glance, it looks like a fallen bell tower. Behind each pillar were seven or eight spider demons neatly lined up, crowded together and slowly crawling, pushing the Stone of God's Punishment little by little in the direction of the First Army.
And more madmen followed closely, as if using the stone pillars as moving bunkers.
