Chapter 2921: It’s Hard for a Fly to Shake a Tree (Part 2)
In just a blink of an eye, the rock surface turned molten and glowed with red light. The hundreds of gene stealers who had been standing on the wall were Those who came into contact with the laser heat were vaporized instantly, and more screamed and fell into the suddenly flowing lava.
Such a precise strike made the knights cheer. Sairei also stared at the long red ribbon, thinking whether he could hit it so accurately at such a distance.
At this time, the tactical screen suddenly updated the configuration of the battle line. Their gun array needed to be turned to intercept the direction in which the gene stealers might escape.
“Knights, move!”
A burst of noisy orders came from the communication, and Sai Lei began to move. The smoke from the war made the clouds thicker, but the wind was still strong, partially blowing away the smoke from the battlefield, and many small colorful fragments could be seen scattered on the ground. , those are actually all kinds of corpses, human and alien, like an insignificant drop of ink in a painting.
Suddenly, in a glance from the observation perspective, Sere noticed that the flash of plasma and the explosion of artillery shells illuminated the interior of the fortress, and the explosion of the destroyed building also gave off a flash.
Then he moved to his position while quietly observing the battlefield. The spear formation led by Prince Andrea had torn open the fortress wall, and the deadly charge launched by the spear knights directly crushed the path. Above all, the prince's car was a red-gold Crusader knight, which stood in the center of the gun formation and was bombarding the inside of the fortress with powerful firepower.
The Crusader is a medium-sized mecha that outputs positions from a long distance. This type of knight will often be slightly behind the main force, and will occupy the optimal fire position at any time, and then in the fire position Lock their rear brakes, and then use their excellent observation systems to provide fire support for attacking friendly forces, or to quickly eliminate high-risk targets from a distance. This makes them fully biased towards long-range firepower or fixed-point strikes in terms of armaments and systems. Known among the knight family for its powerful firepower.
Its main weapon is a specialized Avenger Gatling, which can destroy enemy infantry groups with terrifying efficiency at long distances, and its other hand is equipped with a thermal cannon, even if It is a thick alloy protective wall that will be evaporated into a piece of hot slag by a thermal cannon. It also carries a Storm Spear rocket nest on its back and a heavy machine gun on its shoulder. Its long-range firepower is twice as powerful as the Horned Viper Punisher. above.
In terms of defense, the Crusader can also turn on the plasma shield, which is quite resistant to long-range firepower.
This kind of knight with very strong overall quality is naturally relatively rare. Therefore, among knight families, crusader-type knights are high-ranking nobles or members of the royal court, and their machine spirits are also generally humble. And respectable, not too unmanageable.
As the tallest building in the fortress, the church of the Order of the Golden Claw slowly collapsed amidst the roar, these enemies also declared their complete demise. Then a group of gene stealers crowded out and escaped, desperate for survival. Desire now dominated the brain controlled by the alien gene, but what greeted them was the ruthless firepower and trampling of the knights.
In less than twenty minutes, the fortress, which had been besieged by tens of thousands of troops for six days, fell.
After a brief repair, the knights set off immediately. After all, their goal was not a small fortress. Their real goal was to destroy the gene stealers in the entire area. This fortress only blocked the way from the landing point to the The road to the Golden City, the home of the Genestealers. However, during the ten minutes of preparations, Sai Lei used a long-distance observation scope to see what was happening in the ruins of the fortress. When the fruits of victory fell, the local armed forces rushed over like leeches madly after smelling blood. , seeming to want to find the treasure they want from the ruins.
Unfortunately, their delusions were extinguished by the merciless bullets of the attendant mecha. There was indeed gold hidden in the fortress, but it was a trophy that belonged to the knights, not miscellaneous items that the untouchables could steal.
The squire mecha then used the detector to find the cellar where the genestealer hid the gold as quickly as possible, and quickly moved away all the tons of melted gold nuggets - gold is also something the knight family needs very much. , whether they are conducting a grand ceremony or decorating their sacred mounts, this thing is indispensable.
Not to mention that as a high-value mineral, it can also be distributed as rewards. It seems that the prince planned to use this gold to reward the knights and attendants in the spear formation.
As soon as the knights left, the local armed forces who had suppressed their anger could only vent their anger on the remaining things. There were still a few gene stealers who had not been eliminated, but were hiding in the ruins or After pretending to be dead on the battlefield, they were picked out one by one, but were not executed immediately. The nobles who were driven out of their "territory" used the most cruel methods on these unlucky aliens, including peeling off skin, cramping, and removing bones. It is for pediatricians, and there are also those who use vehicles to tie their limbs and tear them off, and use sharpened wooden sticks to penetrate the body from below, so that the victim dies slowly while struggling
But these knights don't care. After all, in their eyes, the residents here are vulgar primitive people, and even the priests here are just a group of idiots who hang out among the villagers. After all, they believe in the Holy Flame Order. This is the true teaching.
After passing through a valley between two mountains, the gun formation arrived at the real battlefield. The Golden City built on the mountain is no less than the capital of the planet. It is the center of the Golden Claw Order's century-old operation. In the holy city they built, you can see from a distance a statue of the "Golden Emperor" they believe in standing at the highest point of the city. It was completely made of gold. It is said that more than 300 tons were used. However, these blasphemous statues are just false representations of the emperor. In the name of the Emperor, its appearance is actually that of a ferocious alien with four arms.
At this time, there was already a lot of artillery fire here, and the main force of the Dupont delin family had launched an attack from other directions.
The Genestealers also tried their best to defend their holy city, digging countless huge criss-crossing trenches outside the city. At the same time, they were clearly aware of the power of the Knight Mecha, so they were still on the battlefield. They used explosives to create many large craters in an attempt to use such terrain to hinder the knights' progress. As for the various mines, they also concentrated all their heavy firepower, and even used heavy artillery made by themselves. Those siege weapons Although the mortar is relatively primitive, its advantage is that it has a huge caliber, and the high-explosive shells it fires are somewhat threatening to the knights.
But does this really work?
"It is said that millions of vermin have gathered in this place. Knights, this is the time to seize glory. Let us seize glory!"
The voice instructing the knights echoed in the communication channel, but watching the tactical instructions match Lei knew that they still had to start the work.
