After passing the position, the lightning climbed high again, and then... stopped.
"What's wrong?" Maisie raised her head and asked.
She didn't answer, but turned and looked down at Taquila. She was in the dark night sky. Two hundred meters was almost the limit of her visual distance. To find the Demon Slayer under these conditions was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But it doesn't matter that she can't see.
Lightning knew that the other party could see her.
From the direction of Taquila, she should be facing the moon right now. As long as the Demon Slayer raises his head, it is impossible to ignore a shadow in the white moon.
But it didn't catch up.
The only reason is that the other party has realized that her speed is far beyond its reach.
It gave up futile attempts.
She won this round!
Lightning took a deep breath and stretched out her right hand towards the darkness. Although her fingertips were still trembling slightly, she mustered up her courage and raised her middle finger.
That was the gesture that His Majesty taught her to symbolize victory!
Then she turned around and flew towards her camp without looking back, and told Sylvie what she had seen.
"A regular cylinder of God's Stone of Retribution... I understand." The latter recorded the approximate size and handed it over to Agatha. Estimating the shape of the shadow and the location of the stone pillar based on the volume of the divine stone was considered a basic skill for the senior members of the Quest Club. Soon, the corrected data was sent back to the observation room.
While there is a visual error, it's better than just firing at random. After Sylvie used the magic eye to determine the direction, he picked up the phone of the artillery battalion.
After a while, the first roar erupted from the fortress artillery position!
Although the flames that came out of the corpse flickered like a firefly, it was still very eye-catching to the plain shrouded in darkness.
Especially when more artillery joined the attack, the light from the muzzle even faintly reflected the outline of the position. Sometimes the flame tail brought out by the warhead will also draw a short trajectory, like a shooting star jumping from the ground.
At the other end, the echoes of the explosion continued, and the sleeping fertile plain was finally awakened.
"So beautiful..." Maisie murmured in a trance as she stared at the artillery positions that were appearing and disappearing without blinking.
Lightning stood against the wind, clenching his fists.
Now, only the last level remains.
…
Ersk floated in the air, watching indifferently the mud pillars rising in front of and behind its troops. This is the most threatening attack method of mankind so far. As long as the projectile falls in the army, it can be taken away in an instant. The lives of more than a dozen protists. And its power does not need to be displayed through contact, even if it is separated by dozens of meters, the iron pieces shot out by the projectile are enough to pierce armor and tear flesh.
Even it is not sure to block a direct hit.
In the report submitted to the lord of the sky, the Maharaja named this weapon "Rain of Fire".
In addition, there are "Fire Crossbows" that can continuously fire crossbow arrows, and "Fire Branches" that can be carried by one person... All the current evolution of human beings undoubtedly comes from the element of fire. Compared with the "inheritance and promotion" that Maharaja thinks, it is more likely to be an accident. In terms of the diversification of abilities, witches are better. If there has been a suitable awakener in the past few hundred years, and human beings have long been against fire. It is not impossible to achieve a large-span improvement.
But even if humans take a path that deviates entirely from them, that doesn't mean it's helpless. For example, the rolling stones made from the God Punishment Vessel showed hardness enough to resist fire and rain. Ursruk clearly saw that the divine stone remained intact after several direct hits and violent explosions. When the opponent's projectile hit the edge of the stone pillar, it would even bounce off without leaving a pit.
The real danger is the rain of fire that happened to cross the stone pillar and crash into the group of "tombstones". Their invulnerable armor is completely vulnerable in front of Fire Rain, and as long as they hit it, they are basically torn apart.
Ironically, Wang Zeng had high hopes for this sturdy symbiote that felt neither pain nor fear, believing that it was the most valuable breakthrough from the "Inheritance Fragment", which not only greatly enhanced the frontline's The supply capacity also enriches the means of combat of the ethnic group. Only one hundred tombstones are needed to completely exterminate humans, that is, the low-level bugs in the eyes of most clansmen.
So the tombstones that the Maharaja handed over to him were not many or not, exactly one hundred.
As a result, after more than half a year of fighting, not only human beings were not wiped out, but Taqila was already crumbling. As for the tombstones that Ersruk could still drive, less than 40% remained.
If the Vault of Heaven Lord didn't trust the King too much at that point, how could it be so stretched now
If these symbiotes are consumed on the road, it can only let the protists resist.
That's not much different from sending death. The impact of the fire rain on the God's Punishment Stone Pillar is by no means impossible for the original body to resist. Even the black dazzling stone claws of the tombstone may be broken, let alone the flesh
But Ersrook didn't care.
Because these sacrifices are worth it.
And humans... will pay for their sacrifice.
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, the underground headquarters.
The battle has been going on for nearly three hours now, and every five minutes, Iron Axe will hear the dull sound of artillery shelling from overhead, and at the same time, there is sparse dust falling.
Other than that, there was no movement on the ground, as if the devil had not launched a general attack, and the First Army was firing into the air from beginning to end.
This is very different from the previous war experience.
In order to save ammunition and protect the barrels, he has made the artillery battalion extend the firing interval, and most of the firepower is aimed behind Sombra. The problem is that even if such a blow actually kills the devil, the result cannot be observed through the magic eye.
The only thing that can be confirmed so far is that the 152mm fortress gun cannot destroy the God's Punishment Stone. Although the intensive artillery bombardment minimized Sombra's movement speed, it would always recover, and it was not known how the Spider Demon could make such a big guy roll through the crater.
"Damn it," Iron Axe punched the table angrily. "If it were the daytime, these monsters wouldn't be alive at all!"
The biggest trouble encountered by the First Army at present is that no one knows where the shells landed. If the artillery wanted to hit the target, it had to correct the landing point through multiple test shots. More than meters, a blind spot with an almost infinite length, each shot is equivalent to a test shot without feedback.
According to Sylvie's observation, the Demon Slayer did not break into the camp, but kept cruising above the shadows, apparently on guard against lightning. Although the speed of the latter is higher than that of the enemy, the high-speed flight consumes a lot of magic power, and it is okay to intersperse it twice. It is necessary to always hover over the shadow, get rid of the demon slayer and provide the location of the landing point. The danger is real. A bit too high.
Not getting feedback means that additional blows cannot be made.
As a result, it has become difficult to quickly destroy the enemy's living force through intensive firepower.
The situation at this moment is like a gamble. He can pour all the shells into the shadow and stop it completely, but as long as the enemy retreats the spider demon, the first army is equivalent to wasting ammunition.
In addition, there are also a lot of mad demons on the two wings other than the shadow, which seems to be trying to form a double-team. If you point the artillery at them, you can immediately know the results of the battle, but these devils are very sparsely distributed, and it is a pity to deal with them specially.
"That's why the enemy chooses to attack at night." Edith said calmly, "This is already a gratifying result... Without Sylvie, let alone the shadow blind spot, we may not even know where the enemy is. I don't know. Besides, the devil is always on the side of the beating, and it's not in a hurry, so why should you care?"
"I just don't want to waste the ammunition I finally accumulated." Iron Axe frowned.
"Don't worry, they can't push that thing all the way down. I think the other party knows this. They will probably launch a general attack when they approach the range of the mortar." Beidi Pearl slightly raised the corner of her mouth, "Unfortunately, the devil does not I don't know, the night is only temporary, and when they enter the range of the flares, it's time to decide the winner."
