"The great day of judgment is coming! Saints and sinners will be separated on the right and left! This day is coming, are you prepared? This day is coming, are you prepared?!"
Amidst the vague and hoarse singing, loud noises erupted again and again, and the pillars of flame rose into the sky, as if the sword of judgment of the gods was dropped from the sky, setting off billowing air waves and roars.
The flame banner was raised high.
Under the illumination of the burning holy symbol, the iron-clad priests stretched out their fingers, and the demons who screamed and sang feverishly rushed forward.
The original sickly look disappeared, as if running towards heaven, using both hands and feet, singing ecstatically, at an incredibly fast speed, and in an instant he fell into the group of dark green water ghosts.
Immediately afterwards, he hugged the closest demon, and his body suddenly expanded. The sutured wounds swelled and split, and scorching light and flames spewed out.
The alchemy matrix implanted in the body was activated, frantically extracting the surrounding ether, exuding terrifying high heat, creating a vacuum of death, which exploded in an instant, and high pressure that was several times beyond the survival range swept in all directions.
explode!
Flames, air pressure and impact swept across the ground like an iron plow.
Each explosion left a large crater with a radius of tens of meters on the beach. The terrifying shock wave blew all the way to the city wall and turned into a blazing foehn wind, blowing towards the face.
Ye Qingxuan's hair was blown by the hot wind, and his dark eyes reflected the sacred and strange flame.
Shi Dong raised his hand, lightly blocked a piece of falling meat, and casually threw it under the city wall.
"You made a monster into a bomb?"
"Well, it's a very simple process."
Stone replied: "Remove the frontal lobe, brainwash, remove internal organs, implant a self-destruct matrix, suture the wound, and give a shot of antibiotics to prevent inflammation. Although the survival period is relatively short, it doesn't matter as long as it is used casually within seven days... a It only takes a skilled apprentice fifteen minutes to complete it. It can be regarded as a kind of waste recycling, which can be said to be of high quality and low price. There are many similar cruel methods in the Inquisition. After all, we used the Holy City license to recruit one There are a large group of black musicians. It’s just... can your Excellency, the Grand Inquisitor, approve of our unscrupulous behavior?"
"Since you are a monster, it doesn't matter what you do."
Ye Qingxuan glanced at him with a smile but not a smile: "But it's better to be careful. Some people are better not to make up their minds. In the future, please avoid such irrelevant temptations."
Shi Dong lowered his head respectfully, glanced at the empty place behind Ye Qingxuan, and greeted with a smile: "Please rest assured, there were also members with demon blood in the tribunal back then."
There seemed to be a faint cold snort in the air, and the cold feeling like a lump in the throat swept across and disappeared again.
After a round of human bombings, the front line of the water ghosts rushing onto the shoal has been destroyed. It looks like it is riddled with holes. However, the continuous explosions and deaths still did not make them retreat. On the contrary, because of the empty space in front position and speed up.
"It's no longer a phalanx, it's a skirmish line array - do monsters also know tactics?"
Ye Qingxuan looked at the water ghosts that were rushing up without any pattern, and raised his brows slightly: If they don't huddle together while walking, the explosive lethality of the transformed monsters will also begin to weaken.
What's more, basically within a few minutes, all the transformed demons have been exhausted.
In a short period of time, this convenient method will no longer be useful.
"It doesn't matter."
Shi Dong replied calmly: "It was just a prelude. How can it be called a war if we don't fight hand to hand?"
The sound of armor rubbing against each other resounded from below the city.
That was the sound of the power armor starting up and the array moving forward.
After the assembly was completed, the Witch Hammers who had been waiting in formation received the order, and the knights stepped onto the battlefield. With the assistance of exoskeleton powered armor, they rushed out of the city gate and rushed towards the demon's front.
Under the illumination of the pillar of flame, the knights, who were more than two meters tall and looked like steel giants, were holding tower shields and halberds. Their footsteps hit the ground, making a roar like drums.
"Heavy armored knight?"
Ye Qingxuan saw the person coming clearly and couldn't help but frown.
Since the popularization of power armor a hundred years ago, the role of heavy cavalry on the battlefield has been replaced by heavy armor.
The heavy-duty powered exoskeletons controlled by the knights often serve as the most important task on the battlefield - to assemble the formation, use their own mobility and defense power to penetrate the enemy's lines, destroy everything, and create opportunities for the following sword dancers and infantry. stage.
By then, the defeated enemy will be completely destroyed under the thunderous sweep.
But the premise is that there are enough troops to sweep away the enemy later.
At this moment, when the total available force, including reserves and foreign aid, is less than a thousand, it is meaningless for the heavy armored knights to charge. Even if the enemy array is defeated, there will be no manpower to complete the subsequent harvest.
Moreover, monsters like water ghosts that go crazy when they smell human breath are not an army that loses all fighting spirit once it is defeated. No matter how high the battle loss ratio is, it will never be over until the last one is dead. .
If you rush into it rashly, you will only be blocked by more and more water ghosts regardless of your own safety, and then be killed by the human sea tactics.
Although he looks heroic and passionate, he is actually just sending himself to death.
As he watched silently, all sixty heavily armored Judgment Knights had already boarded the battlefield.
After rushing out of the city gate, instead of gathering in one place, they scattered.
According to their own numbers and orders, they gathered under the six flame banners, guarding six armored priests.
Immediately afterwards, the tower shield fell to the ground, the air pressure pump was started, the fixing rivets were wedged into the stone, and the tower took root.
Under the push of the machine, the sharp iron nails in the tower shield popped out, and the folded structure on the inside expanded to both sides, riveting to other tower shields.
Surrounding the six priests, the six teams of heavy Witch Hammers did not charge. Instead, they built an iron wall on the spot and built a temporary fortress using tower shields and their own weapons.
Six temporary fortresses, or six support points, were built as standard defensive positions at the forefront of the demons' front to welcome the coming impact.
Really, can you hold it
There are many soldiers among the organists watching the battle on the city wall. Almost all of them have battlefield experience, and some have even implemented this tactic personally, but at this moment, they can't help but have strong doubts in their hearts.
There is nothing wrong with the construction of temporary fortresses, and it can even be said to be a wise move, but its threat lies in the etheric suppression formed by the intersection between the six fortresses.
It is like a nail driven into the enemy's throat. If it cannot be removed, there will be continued pain and danger of death.
But if there is not enough attack power, then the defensive position is not a threat at all, it is just equivalent to six more obstacle terrains.
Even if you can't hit it, just avoid it.
Even a backhand fight is effortless.
But on top of the bastion, behind the walls, Ye Qingxuan understood instantly.
"I see… "
He looked towards the fortress atrium behind him, his eyes suddenly clear.
"As expected of His Excellency the Grand Inquisitor." Stone smiled, "You know all about this kind of trick."
"I just read the spoilers in advance with my etheric induction." Ye Qingxuan smiled, "But it is indeed a very effective way to deal with enemies like demons. I also learned a lot."
Before he finished speaking, the scattered water ghost formations had already collided with the defensive position.
The endless dark green surged in the chaotic array, making people dizzy, like waves, crashing into the fortress without hesitation.
It's like dark green waves crashing on the rocks.
What was splashed was thick blood and broken limbs.
Behind the tower shield, the heavily armored knights who were ready raised the red-hot halberds in their hands, like hot knives cutting wax, easily slicing the bony shell of the water ghost, splitting the limbs, and cutting them into two pieces.
The dark green waves were split by the rocks, then regrouped behind the fortress and rushed towards the gate of the fortress.
Disadvantages revealed.
Defensive positions are meaningless if there are not enough attacks to destroy the endless stream of enemies coming up.
Behind the iron wall of the tower shield, guarded by several heavy-armored knights, the Purifiers once again raised their flame banners.
they said:
"—The light of heaven descends here."
The next moment, the horn sounded to announce the arrival of dawn.
"Night on Barren Mountain"!
No one is more familiar with the breath of that melody than Ye Qingxuan. In the inner courtyard of the fortress, the purification musicians standing on the alchemy matrix completed the tune of each other and played the magnificent symphony representing punishment and redemption in unison.
The total number is forty.
Forty resonance musicians are in tune with each other, and what they emit is uniform etheric fluctuations.
At the top of the fortress, the pillar of flames rotated wildly and soared into the sky, tearing apart the black clouds in the sky and revealing a faint star.
The shackles of the Sunless Sea were torn apart, the noise and clutter in the nine-layer ether sea were temporarily dispersed, and the endless ether turned into a tide, falling from the sky and pouring into the matrix.
And right in the center of the matrix, the torture rack made of alloy glowed with blazing light. Riding on the roar of the horn and the sonorous melody, it spurted out flames and soared into the sky!
In just a few clicks, thirteen metal torture racks flew into the sky.
They glowed with violent light like the scorching sun, breaking through the restrictions of strong wind and rain, tearing apart hurricanes, and rising to the top of the sky in roaring melody.
Like burning stars in a lightless night.
Then, under the guidance of the flaming flags held high by the priests, it hit the ground!
The loud sound that broke through the sky turned into a classical rhythm in the melody. In the ear-piercing scream that tore the air, it set off layers of air waves, like burning meteorites.
Falling from the sky!
