Chapter 1307： Surprise

For the past seven centuries, the Sentinel Tower has been the existence that monsters wandering in the wasteland shunned, even the irrational aberrations and the wandering spirits that spawned in the abandoned mana will instinctively stay away. These dangerous facilities, which are full of huge energy and release purifying beams at any time, rarely have groups of monsters approaching the sentry tower, and it is unprecedented for them to take the initiative to attack.

However, today, most of the defensive functions of the Sentinel Tower have been offline. The old guards around the tower will no longer be able to fight against the assembled aberrant army, and the order from the upper command node has dispelled these monsters. Instinctive resistance in Chaos Mind Under a single order, tens of thousands of deformed bodies and magical spirit bodies began to turn in the wasteland, pointing their forbidding front arrow at the magnificent tower on the wasteland high ground.

At the same time, a large number of distortions are still pouring in from the depths of the wasteland, replenishing the war zone on the barrier border, continuously creating pressure on the human army on the line of defense, making these stubborn mortals powerless to stop the distortion. Actions of the bodies.

From a high altitude, the entire wasteland boundary has been filled with countless layers of filthy waves, trapped in the magnificent wall for seven centuries, the almost endless number of distortions are constantly being "command signals". Inspiration is constantly being added to the "legions" that have hit the border. The high walls that once blocked them are extinguishing one after another. The gleaming energy barrier continues to appear larger and larger gaps, and the mortal army is in those gaps. Qian tried to fight hard and tried desperately to plug the loopholes in the line of defense. However, the size of the loopholes was getting bigger and bigger, and it was gradually becoming an unmanageable situation.

A half-human and half-tree monster stood on the northern border of the former Gondor, overlooking the distant scene from the high hills. The army was like a tide, rushing into the gap at the end of the barrier, and also on the magnificent and still distant place. The sentry tower floating in mid-air, he saw that a frontal arrow of the Aberrant Corps finally approached the base of the tower. The giant mutant entity almost the same size as the city gate stopped on the plain in front of the base. Surrounded by countless cannon fodder, those giant "beasts" with filthy flesh and blood leaned down and fixed themselves on the ground with their deformed hands and feet. The bone spurs that grew parallel behind them pointed to the high floating in the air. tower

The bone spurs behind the "behemoth" were filled with bright electric lights, and the highly compressed magic energy caused a sharp whistle in the air. After a moment of accumulating power, the attack like a beam cannon pierced the air, violently bombarding the magnificent On the high tower.

The surface of the tower quickly rippled with layers of ripples, and the energy shield of the tower body blocked the high-energy beams released by the giant distortion body. Then, some magic organs set up on the base of the tower began to sparsely counterattack. Arcane missiles and arcs swept across the wilderness. The only remaining automatic defense firepower killed some aberrations that were too close, but more "behemoths" gathered on the plain, and successive high-energy beams began to bombard the sentry tower. The superstructure.

The roar of artillery fire from afar shook the earth, the more and more pungent smell in the air stimulated the nerves of the soldiers, the earth under the feet was shaking, the clouds in the sky were burning, and in the eyes of the young communications commander, the whole world was the best There is only one important thing, that is, a signal relay hub that stops working in a semi-buried bunker not far away.

Fendier Wilde led the remaining four soldiers through the toxic wasteland filled with jagged rocks and pungent dust. The air currents that were rolled up by the collapse of the magnificent wall continued to roll in. His short silver hair was messy, the original neat military uniform was now full of dirt and damage, and bleeding wounds could be seen in the torn sleeves. He crossed a low natural stone wall, the unresponsive communication relay The bunker appeared several hundred meters away, and the concrete vault half buried in the ground seemed to be intact.

"There is no sign of being attacked. It may be that the energy released during the process of losing control of the magnificent wall destroyed some structure of the repeater. Fortunately, unfortunately."

Fendier made a quick judgment in his heart and stepped forward while secretly relieved, but at this moment, a soldier who was always behind him suddenly pointed to the sky not far away and shouted: "Sir! Look over there!"

"There is..." Fendi yelled subconsciously, but when he looked up to the direction of the soldier's finger, the second half of the sentence in his throat was swallowed directly back into his stomach.

He saw that the surface of the sentry tower floating in the air was continuously bursting with bright electric arcs, filled with filthy red energy groups bombarding the middle of the tower one after another. The remaining energy at the top of the sentry tower was originally It has become weaker and weaker, and under that continuous attack, the light curtains barely extending from both sides of the tower begin to accelerate and collapse, and the thinner energy barrier is crumbling like a candle in the wind.

"Those monsters want to completely destroy the tower!" another soldier yelled in horror, "Once that tower is completely destroyed, even if the barrier is restarted on the elf side, the gap on our side will never be closed. Up!"

Fendier's eyes were staring, and the exclamation of his soldiers echoed in his ears, and the flash of the tower in the distance also kept shining in his eyes. However, as a communications captain with only a few soldiers, he was caught The low-level officer on the vast battlefield, he suddenly found himself unable to prevent this from happening.

But in the next second, his gaze fell on the communication relay point not far away. The cold wind roaring on the wasteland made him sober. He ignored the meaningless personal sentiment in his mind. The only remaining soldiers rushed towards the bunker.

The exterior of the bunker was not destroyed. Fendier quickly led the soldiers into the fortification of the semi-buried structure. At first glance, he saw the extinguished magic net terminal in the center of the artificial pit. , And two Cecil soldiers who fell dead near the terminal.

There were no traces of the enemy's attack around the dead soldiers, but shocking burns and penetration wounds could be seen near the chest of the corpses. Traces of high-temperature roasting could be seen on the ground next to the magic net terminal, which should have been set nearby. The energy amplification array and spare magic crystals have all been turned into charred debris.

When the magnificent wall is out of control, energy pulses are randomly released to the surroundings. One of the energy pulses may have just swept through this communication stronghold, causing key equipment to be overloaded and out of control. The soldiers stationed here may have tried to rescue the most important magic net terminal. They rushed to the equipment in the fortification center, and were subsequently killed by the sudden detonation of the energy device. This could explain why their fatal injuries were located in the chest.

Fendi's gaze swept across the dead. He roughly judged what had happened here. At this time, there was no time to bury his comrades. He ordered his soldiers to move the dead bodies aside and vacate them. After repairing the equipment space, he immediately leaned to the side of the magic net terminal and began to replace the structure that had been overloaded and burned.

After he started to get busy, a soldier who was fighting next to him suddenly frowned, and whispered a little nervously, "Sir, do you feel...we have been shaking underneath?"

"The entire belt plain is shaking," Fendier said without looking up. "That's gunfire from afar, and the movement of monsters attacking the sentry tower. Don't talk nonsense. If you waste too much time here, Then you have to face more than just this shock!"

"Yes, sir," the soldier hurriedly agreed when he heard the lesson, but after a while he couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "It seems that the vibration is getting stronger...just like something is approaching..."

Fendier ignored the words of his subordinates, he just quickly installed the new components into the empty slots of the communication device, and directly used his magic power to depict the runes that had been completely burned on some structures in the terminal. While busy with the operation of the base plate, he quickly raised his head and looked at the narrow window facing the Gondor Wasteland in the fortification with a worried look. Through the narrow window, he saw the sentry floating in mid-air. The shield on the surface of the tower flickered, and the entire tower body had begun to vibrate violently, and an extremely disturbing shrill whistling sound continued from the plain, perturbing everyone's mind.

At this moment, a low buzzing sound suddenly came from the base of the magic net terminal in front of him. The extinguished and damaged device was finally restored to life in his hands, and the communication with the distant place was also connected.

The focusing crystal barely lit up, projecting a vague phantom. Fendi could not continue to debug the system. He suppressed the excessively fast heartbeat, and while switching the device to emergency forwarding mode, he treated everything he could contact here. The terminal issued a call: "This is Cecil Communications Sergeant Fendil Wilde. In an emergency, the Aberration is attacking the Tower of Sentinel No. 98! The Aberration is attacking the Tower of Sentinel No. 98! I can see their assembly here. The main offensive force is roughly in the southwest of the Black Hills..."

A loud bang sounded at this moment, interrupting Fendier’s continuous calls and broadcasting, and also interrupted the movements of all soldiers in the communication bunker. It even interrupted the roaring gunfire on the battlefield and interrupted the monsters. The chaotic gust of wind whistling and rewinding between humans.

followed by a second loud noise, and a series of ear-piercing howls and roars.

The last shield brilliance on the surface of the sentry tower in the distance was extinguished in the whistling sound. A powerful beam cannon destroyed a certain main energy pipeline in the tower. Loud noises came from high above, and the slaying explosion filled the tower from the inside. The fissures of flames instantly covered the tall tower, and then the out-of-control energy produced a fatal resonance between the base of the tall tower and the anti-gravity mechanism of the tower body.

Numerous chain explosions began to occur on the surface of the Sentinel Tower, which has guarded this line of defense for seven hundred years. The tough ancient alloy frame made the main body of the tower not completely torn apart in these explosions, but all the functions of the tower have been irretrievably brought to an end. , After a moment of shaking (this shaking is more like the last struggle of a dying giant), the huge tower floating in the sky fell, first smashing its own base, then crushing the hill below, and finally The slow but terrifying posture fell to the hills in the southeast direction.

The energy barrier extending from the two wings of the tower was finally completely extinguished. At this moment, part of the structure of the magnificent wall finally disappeared permanently, turning into a terrible gap extending from the southern border of Cecil to the northern defense line of Typhon.

Inside the communication bunker, a soldier stared blankly at the terrifying scene in the distance, watching the barrier that had been standing on the border of the civilized world for hundreds of years, as if it were a natural phenomenon, "as it should" is completely before his eyes. The extinguishment disappeared, and the huge impact even overwhelmed all the nervousness and fear. He just stared in that direction in a daze like other soldiers, before squeezing out the voice from his throat for a long time: "Sir...The wall has collapsed..."

"I saw it," Fendier said, almost gritted his teeth. Only in this way can he barely maintain his composure. Although he himself is also a "sergeant graduate" who has just set foot on the battlefield, he must maintain his composure in front of his soldiers. My own calm attitude, "We immediately transferred to confirm the backup line, the energy shock just now is likely to damage the communication between us and Typhon again, now there is noise everywhere in the Monet terminal..."

While speaking quickly, Fendier walked towards the outside of the bunker. He felt that he was calm enough, but he was almost caught by a green vine that had drilled out of the nearby soil. He staggered and swayed forward twice. At any rate, he grabbed a pillar and didn't fall to the ground in embarrassment. He stood at the exit of the fortification, watching the direction of the Gangduo Wasteland in the rough and cold wind, and felt a little trance for a while.

But in the next second, he seemed to have suddenly reacted to something, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction he had just walked in, and looked at the thing that almost tripped him over.

...

The tower of the sentry fell, and the barrier that had sealed the wasteland for seven hundred years, representing the stupidity and stubbornness of mortals, was finally torn open a permanent gap.

The Druid priest who was in charge of attacking the northern line of defense left his high ground, re-adjusted the main front of the deformed body group surrounded by the guards, and began to concentrate the offensive pressure in the direction of the newly opened gap, and he was excited. His emotions filled his already heterogeneous nervous system, dispelling the depression and anger that had accumulated in his heart since the start of the war.

There is reason for his irritation. Since the start of the war, the various branches of the legion have been sending information that they are advancing smoothly. Almost every force advancing outwards is crushing the resistance formed by that ridiculous "Alliance" like a ruin. Power, the army that rushed out of the wasteland had taken advantage of sudden attacks and huge numbers, and he was the only exception to the fact that there were frequent successes on all fronts.

The stubborn resistance of the Cecils and their unreasonable firepower piled up like neurotic madness caused the Aberrant Corps to attack the northern line of defense to suffer.

The firepower that TM blows up the entire land several times is simply not something human can do! Even the nerve signals fed back by the TM monsters feel that the humans on the opposite side are monsters!

But now everything is okay, and the humiliation of the officer's frustration in the offensive has been made up for the moment the sentry tower fell.

No matter how tenacious the Cecil people's will, and no matter how powerful their firepower is, they can't close a gap that can almost tear the dark mountain range apart.

They can only watch the tide of the deformed body cross their defenses, rush into their homes, and shred their siblings.

"Give them a huge surprise!"

The dark druid, who is a combination of ferocious trees and ugly humans, shouted loudly. Driven by his will, the deformed body merged into a dark tide, rushing to the mountain pass on the east side of the Dark Mountain.

Then, he felt the vibration in the depths of the earth

At first, he thought it was the roar of distant artillery, then he thought it was his army shaking the scorched earth.

But then he realized that it was not, the vibration came from deeper, from farther away.

It is as if there is some huge giant creature burrowing deep in the soil, as if there is something terrible...or some structure in the depths of the earth is breaking through the ground.

"Master!!!" The horrified roar of the lower priest interrupted the dark druid's thinking, "Something has come out of the underground!"

The dark druid who was in charge of commanding the legion raised his head subconsciously and looked towards the end of the legion ahead.

There, countless nightmarish ferocious giant vines broke out from the depths of the earth, and then reorganized and transformed into towering giant trees in an instant. The thorny thorns and vines slapped the scorched earth that was once at the foot of the magnificent wall, the strong deformed body, Huge "behemoths", venomous biochemical beasts and mana monsters, these terrifying creatures that should have been pierced one after another, rolled up in the air, struggling desperately at high altitude and twisted like they were captured by the flygrass. Of flying insects.

An amazing-scale green forest barrier is penetrating the land at the border of the Black Forest, taking shape in a very short time, and a vaguely familiar female voice somehow crossed this vast battlefield and crashed in the dark druid's nervous system. Explosion:

"A surprise, my former compatriot, Master Bertlem."
