Although an extremely ominous magical reaction suddenly appeared behind the camp, Sylvie couldn't care less.
Aside from keeping a minimum of surveillance and a hasty warning, she turned all her attention to the army of demons several kilometers to the north.
There are things that have never been seen there before, and she can't even classify them as dead or living things, and they reveal evil just by looking at them.
It is roughly the size of a two-story building, with a reptile-like profile, similar to a crab or spider, but its limbs and torso are made of dark stone. There is no sense of agility while walking, and every step is stern, completely ignoring the surrounding cannonballs falling from time to time, even if the devils accompanying them are blown to powder in the artillery fire, these monsters did not stop at all. They are somewhat similar to those machines invented by His Majesty Roland. .
But it's not a real machine.
Through the thick shell, she could see a bunch of wriggling bodies hidden inside, the brilliance of magic power flowing in it, and pouring into every part of the shell along thousands of veins.
If he had to describe it, Sylvie could only think of the word parasitism.
Living creatures inhabit stones and metals.
Compared with crawling monsters, those fearsome "siege beasts" are not so scary.
Luckily it's not indestructible.
The blooming bullet fired by the First Army can still damage it, and it doesn't even need to hit it directly. As long as it falls near the reptile, it can damage its lower limbs and make it immobile.
It's a pity that compared to tens of thousands of devils, their targets are too small. Even since these monsters appeared, Sylvie has been guiding the artillery squad to fire at them, but the shells that fly several kilometers can't hit them at all. Oh, until the moment when the terrifying beast broke into the artillery position and launched an attack, only one of the five creeping monsters was injured and stagnant.
Just when the rear position was in a melee, she couldn't help but sweat for the front line.
The artillerymen may not realize at all how much of a threat they pose to the devil.
In fact, among all the people who participated in the battle, she was the only one who witnessed the amazing destruction of the fortress artillery. Especially when the devil group appeared on the surface, the dense formation almost turned the battlefield eight kilometers away into a massacre of slaughter. land.
Every time a cannonball falls into the army, it can lift up an earth column nearly ten meters high, and at the same time lift up a stump of a broken limb; the blasted stones are enough to penetrate the enemy's animal skin and bone armor, not to mention those scattered and splashed. Shrapnel up. The burly body of the mad demon became the best target in front of Liu Ya. Often after a bombardment, dozens of demons lay down around the crater, and the blood containing magical power soaked into the ground, like a blooming blue flower.
Only three rounds of salvos caused the enemy's position to be turbulent. This was when the shells occasionally fell off. Although the devils dispersed the formation afterward, the roaring death god still put them under great pressure, which can be seen from their running speed.
If it weren't for the interference of the fearful beasts, I'm afraid the enemy would have been completely destroyed.
After that, although the artillery squad recovered some of the artillery, the accuracy and rate of fire were not as good as before. The devil took this opportunity to advance quickly. When the reaction of multiple sources of magic power appeared behind the position, the enemy army had already approached the position two kilometers away from the defense line. .
At this moment, the frontline soldiers should be able to see the devil gushing out from the horizon with the naked eye.
According to the pre-planned plan, Sylvie issued a warning to Sha Wei who was on the front line.
"The enemy has entered the mortar range."
"Understood, I'll notify the commander." The other party quickly replied, "By the way, how is the situation in the rear? Haven't they dealt with those flying devils yet?"
"Something happened... accident," Sylvie hesitated, "but there should be no problem."
"If Andrea was here, the battle would have ended long ago, right?"
"Well... maybe," in order not to worry Sha Wei too much, she decided to hide what she saw first. Just as she was talking, she suddenly noticed that the four reptiles in the demon army had stopped moving.
They spread their long feet and lay down one by one.
What is the other party trying to do
Sylvie quickly saw that the carapace on the monster's back opened to both sides, and a black crystal-like cylinder protruded from it. It was about the thickness of a person, and the surface was covered with mucus, as if it had grown from flesh. Like the body of the reptile, the long column is also full of blood vessels and meridians, which expand and contract with the flow of magic power.
The next moment, the magic vortex in the monster's body moved rapidly, and a dazzling light erupted.
In an instant, the black stone long column seemed to be pushed out violently by a huge force. It flew over the heads of many devils and flew towards the north slope. Its momentum was like a powerful crossbow magnified a hundred times!
And the mortars of the First Army also roared at this time.
More than a hundred cannonballs shot up into the sky, streaked a high parabola, and then, under the action of gravity, fell towards the dashing devil.
For a moment, the cannonballs and stone pillars staggered past, as if to represent the power mastered by the two ethnic groups after a lapse of 400 years, colliding again.
"Shawei, open the shield!" Sylvie shouted with all her strength.
As soon as the voice fell, the thick and long stone pillar flew above the defense line.
Then the magic light flashed, the entire column burst open, and the crystals burst into dense long needles, mixed with blue blood, and shot down at the soldiers waiting for the enemy.
…
At the same time, there was silence in the artillery positions.
Agatha and others took away the artillery near the giant beast at the first time. At the same time, the anti-aircraft machine gun team was fighting with the last few beasts. There were only a dozen or so witches of God's Punishment left in the field, and their whole body was hidden under the armor. high-ranking devil.
The latter glanced coldly at the crowd, and suddenly screamed in the sky. The sound even overshadowed the neigh of the machine gun in the distance. Anyone could feel the anger contained in this whistle.
Then it stretched out its right hand and held it straight towards the sky, only to see a ray of light jumping out of its palm, instantly turning into a crackling long sword!
Then it raised its sword and slashed at the fortress cannon on the side. With a heart-pounding tearing sound, the steel cannon barrel was split in two.
The Ice Witch couldn't help holding her breath, it was clearly a weapon composed of magic!
However, Zooey was unmoved, "Why, are you dissatisfied with your opponent? Came here with the intention of fighting to the death, only to find that only a group of mortals are fighting against her?" There was a hint of mockery, but there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes. "Your biggest mistake is to run away by yourself. If you stay in the sky, you might be able to survive for a while. Now, you can feel what it's like to have anger that has lasted for four hundred years. As for your anger , not worth mentioning at all!"
Although they couldn't communicate, their attitudes were already revealed. The devil roared and threw the magic sword in his hand. The latter shot straight at Zoe like a dazzling thunder!
And the two witches of God's Punishment around Zoe were close to her, and at the same time launched the "God's Punishment Domain"!
A strange force suddenly distorted the space around the witch, the thunder seemed to crash into nothingness, the dazzling light was swallowed by the bottomless darkness, and disappeared without a trace in an instant!
The high-level devil couldn't help but froze in place.
The rest of the God's Punishment Witches raised their large-caliber shotguns in their hands.
The thunderstorm-like sound of gunfire swept through the entire artillery position in the blink of an eye, and blobs of blue light barriers erupted from the devil's body, but they quickly dimmed in less than a breath of time.
And the dark armor couldn't make it survive this round of bombardment.
Among the swirling projectiles, the high-level devil is like being hit by hammer after hammer. Under the huge impact, its body is not much better than a wanton twisted rag. When the gunfire subsided, its body The internal organs and bones have been turned into a muddy mess.
