A quarter of an hour later, another tank team arrived at the battle area between the 12th and 9th crews. m
"Amy, Boshan, are you all right?" Effie, the leader, asked loudly from a distance.
Bo Shan waved her hand to show that she was okay, and Amy shouted excitedly, "Why are you here? We killed a big guy!"
"I haven't heard the sound of cannons sounding here." After seeing that they were unscathed, Iffi was relieved. She jumped off the tank, walked quickly to the corpse of the monster pierced by the grenade, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
"It should be the nest mother, but seriously, I'm not too sure." Poshan murmured.
The previous shot was completely clean. It not only smashed its internal organs, but also blasted its head into the sky. Of course, whether this monster has a head is another matter. After all, according to common sense, creatures generally do not run backwards.
When it died, its magic power also dissipated, and its entire body collapsed instantly, turning into the flesh-like appearance it is now, and only two rows of broken ribs were left standing.
"Are you sure this is the Nest Mother?" Iffi took out the manual, frowned and compared, "The skeleton is somewhat similar, but the body is small and the tentacles are not enough... By the way, have you seen the eyes in its body? ?"
The giant compound eye is one of the most distinctive features of the nest mother. According to the manual, it is almost the same size as the nest mother's internal organs. It is located in the center of the body and is almost impossible to miss.
Bo Shan shook her head, "I guess she's the Nest Mother, just because she carries a lot of blade beasts. As for other details, I'm as confused as you are. But..." She paused slightly, "Don't say the Nest Mother, here's the None of the monsters can exactly match the illustrations in the manual. If you don’t believe me, look at those dead blade beasts.”
It was only then that Yi Fei noticed something strange about the blade beast lying in front of the nest mother, "Is this... a wing?"
"That's right." Boshan replied, "It looks as thin and light as cicada wings, but it is much larger. Using these wings, they can even make long-distance flying movements, which is very good for the previous blade beasts. never seen it."
"I can probably understand why the top wants us to recover the intact samples of the sky and sea." Iffi pondered for a while before sighing, "The speed of their changes is too amazing."
"That's a question that needs to be considered from above," Boshan jumped onto the tank and gestured to Ifbie to start, "and we just need to destroy them."
…
The report of the First Army's recapture of the ruins of Taquila was quickly sent to Roland's office.
In this "urban battle", the evil beast is no longer the main opponent. For the first time, Tianhaijie appeared in groups, and most of them were extremely threatening blade beasts.
But compared with the previous one or two blade beasts that can make the army's defense line ineffective, the result this time is completely different.
The newly established armored corps played a decisive role in this battle, not only locked the enemy's position, but also won most of the results. The First Army finally wiped out all the Tianhai Realm at a very small price, and regained a firm foothold on the fertile plains. Among them, the No. 12 and No. 9 car crews cooperated to destroy a nest mother and more than ten blade beasts, and their unscathed performance completely changed the military's view. In addition to stating the war, the rest of the report is all about Apply for the production of more tanks, even if the number of witches is not enough, it is okay to have ordinary non-commissioned officers as the commanders.
Obviously they have fully tasted the sweetness of this kind of heavy equipment that integrates offense and defense.
Roland was not surprised by this result. The title of King of Marine Wars was established in two world-scale wars, and tanks have been tested in every aspect. If not, he would not have dispatched a group of personnel from the army to practice driving skills as early as the beginning of the tractor.
Compared with this mature weapon, he was more concerned about the corpses of monsters brought back by train.
By the afternoon, Agatha from the Magic Tower called and said that the autopsy had reached a preliminary conclusion.
…
Approaching the bottom of the magic tower, Roland suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in his face.
There are piles of ice cubes neatly placed in the huge basement. Those who didn't know it thought it was an ice storage warehouse, but he knew that the samples of the Sky Sea Realm brought back from the front line were solidified in those ice cubes for the Witch Alliance to conduct research. .
In the center of the room was the anatomy area, and Agatha took off her gloves and gave him a union salute.
"You seem happy." Roland tightened his neckline.
"Because I can go back to my old job again." Agatha smiled, "To be honest, a cold laboratory is more suitable for me, representing Taquila expeditions, attending political meetings, etc., are not what I am good at. thing."
When it comes to the representative of the ancient witch, Pasha is obviously the most suitable, but unfortunately the carrier is too inconvenient to move, so Agatha has become the second candidate.
Looking at Roland's hesitant expression, the Ice Witch took the initiative to wave her hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the battle of divine will is the priority. I still understand that."
He nodded and turned to the topic, "So what did you find?"
"Your Majesty, look this way," Agatha condensed an ice blade from her fingertips and pierced a huge organ on the dissection table, "This thing was taken from the new hive mother, and inside it, I found obvious signs of aging. And the same problem, I have not seen any blade beasts."
"Aging?" Roland raised his eyebrows. He noticed that there were indeed large folds and dark spots where the ice blade showed.
"That's right. Magic power can strengthen the body of the devil. This has been verified by witches and devils. Naturally, the Tianhai world should not be an exception. And one of the most obvious features of this kind of strengthening is the prolongation of lifespan." Love Gesha explained in detail, "I have checked the information provided by the devil, and there is absolutely no mention of how long the nest mother can live, but it says that the blade beast and the foot beast do not live long, even if they die, the nest mother can quickly hatch new ones. of beasts."
"You mean... the situation is just reversed now?" Nightingale said, "Could it be that this nest mother is approaching her twilight years?"
"It's really hard to judge if there is only one, but I found a similar situation for all four bodies brought back from the front line, which would be too coincidental." Agatha said softly, "And you and the nest mother have intercourse. Go through it and know how big they are. Compared to their size, these monsters less than ten meters in length really don't look like they are extremely old."
"It seems to make sense."
"What's more, whether it's the thin wings used to fly, or the growing sickle claws, it goes against their previous habits." She turned to look at Roland, "Your Majesty, I don't think this thing can still look like the past. Just like swimming in the sea.”
"So what's your conclusion?" Roland asked solemnly.
"I am afraid that the hive mother is transferring her magic power to the servants in order to create a more powerful source of troops," Agatha said word by word, "It's just that their evolutionary direction deviates from the sea, and it can even be said to sacrifice the future of the tribe. "
Roland sighed, "But we're in trouble."
