Chapter 1322： Burning red jade forest

In the control center of Earthly Dawn, the reinforced dome is slowly opened under the push of mechanical devices. The brilliant and brilliant sunlight is transformed into soft light through the filtering light barrier, illuminating the entire hall, and a deep buzzing echoes in the control center. , In the middle is accompanied by occasional prompt sounds from various control systems. Large and small holographic projections float above the various consoles, and in front of the "main brain" sink in the center of the hall, there is the largest one floating in the entire control center. Group of holograms.

It clearly showed the landscape of the vast land of Ogure, and it was the monitoring picture shared by the main visual nerve of the main brain of the Earthly Dawn in real time.

Rebecca walked into the control center. The busy technical sergeants and commanders at all levels immediately saluted the "Highest Technical Officer" and "Captain of the Earthly Dawn". Rebecca waved his hand to these people. Signaling everyone to continue their work, she went straight through the passage in the center of the hall and walked in the direction of the main brain sink.

A large-scale shadow glided across the sky, making the hall slightly dim. Rebecca looked up and saw a hexagonal aerial platform flying over the Earthly Dawn, surrounded by accompanying ships. Several dragoon aircrafts are flying, and on both sides of the platform, you can see the holographic projection marks of iron fists and rings, swords and plows floating in the air.

Rebecca retracted her gaze and looked at the main brain container in front of her and the large holographic projection floating in front of the container. The mysterious and vast mountains of the Ogure tribe were reflected in her eyes, which was completely different from the northern country she was familiar with. The scenery, she stared at the scene in a daze, and for a long time she couldn't help but sigh softly: "Ah...the mountain is so big...there are so many trees..."

As soon as she sighed, she looked around subconsciously, confirming that no one was relieved when she heard her whispering, and at the same time, she thought silently: her literature teacher will surely cry when she hears this...

"We are approaching here in the direction of Red Jade City and have penetrated into the depths of the communication interference zone," a voice came from a nearby PA device at this time. It was the voice of the main brain of the Earthly Dawn. "Currently all units in the fleet. Inter-communication is normal, and communication with the ground is still interfered, but vague automatic call signals can already be received."

"It seems that the most severely disturbed area is confined to the surface. The communication between air units is basically not affected..." Rebecca said thoughtfully, "And it can receive signals from the surface, this Explain that we are close enough?"

"Yes, it's close enough. At this location, we should be able to give priority to restoring communications in some high-altitude areas. In addition, the presence of surface signals also shows that most of the inland cities of the Ogure tribe are still safe," the mastermind's voice sounded. "Judging from the surface image data collected so far, the distortion has not yet spread to this area, but a part of the mountain forest below is covered by dense winter fog and low-altitude clouds. I can't see it clearly from high altitude."

"Enhance optical scanning, try to look carefully, we need to find the movements of those monsters, and confirm the survival of the local defenders... If it doesn't work anymore, we can only risk sending some dragoons to lower the altitude to do low-altitude reconnaissance."

When Rebecca's voice fell, there was a slight bubbling sound in the main brain container, and a neutral synthetic tone sounded in the control center: "Understand, the visual perception system is being enhanced... The system resources are allocated, and the neural signal priority has been adjusted... "

The artificially synthesized brain gave instructions, and nerve impulses rushed through the biological vascular tube deep in the deck of Earthly Dawn. The signal reached the edge of this giant aerial fortress in an instant, and was quickly executed by the peripheral mechanism: in the heavy armor Between the anti-gravity engine and the anti-gravity engine, a set of additional sensing terminals set in a concealed position are activated. The hemispherical pod protected by steel armor rotates and points to the ground. In the polymer crystal shell on the front of the pod, a few huge eyeballs instantly The boss stared sharply, staring at the mountains and forests in the distance, screaming!

After choosing to use "synthetic brain" as the central control system, Earthly Dawn has become a semi-mechanical and semi-biological aerial fortress. In order to improve the efficiency of its biological part, it is very important to install a circle of eyeballs to act as an additional vision. Reasonable things.

"The optical scanning enhancement mode is activated," the mastermind in the control center said very seriously, "confirm that this mode is the first use, start recording the working status of the corresponding neural community and save it..."

Rebecca nodded. The Earthly Dawn is a fortress that rushed to the battlefield in a hurry. This behemoth, as the current peak product of the magical-biochemical technology of the Cecil Empire, has a huge system in it that is unimaginable. And many of these systems have not had time to be thoroughly tested and adjusted. Today’s trip to the west is not only a military mission for the Earthly Dawn, but also an extremely special trial. The activation process of every system during its voyage needs to be recorded in detail like this, perhaps not far away. In the future, these data will become a valuable reference for the second aerospace fortress...

Then she turned her head and looked at the technical sergeant on a nearby control seat: "How is the adjustment of the supercritical accelerator and the purgatory incendiary?"

"The Purgatory incendiary launcher has been adjusted and can be activated at any time, but the rail charging unit of the supercritical accelerator is still not stable enough," the technical sergeant replied immediately, "Due to the incomplete release of waste energy, the loss of the end rail is very serious. Left and right will be completely melted down, and new rails have to be replaced..."

"Three times..." Rebecca tapped his forehead with a little headache. "Although the ancestors said that weapons are consumables, as a main gun, the launch life of the rail is only three times. It seems a bit unreasonable..."

"Perhaps we can change our mindset," the technical sergeant on the side hesitated. "Just make the end rails one-time-use, keep the cost down, and throw it when the shells are finished... Anyway, only the end is melted down, we can. Change the connection structure of the main rail to make it easier to disassemble and replace..."

Rebecca's eyes lit up suddenly: "Hey? You don't think this way..."

But just halfway through her words, the voice of the mastermind suddenly came from the side: "Creator, I have observed an abnormal temperature rise in the mountainous area on the east side. There may be something wrong."

…

The cold wind roared in the mountains, the rough sand dust and the snow on the ridge line slapped on the face, the hair was mixed with the gray-black poison left after the death of the deformed monster, the itching discomfort and the fiery pain from the wound Mixed together, constantly stimulating Camilla's nerves, but she has automatically blocked these feelings behind her head.

She rode on the back of the wolf that had accompanied her for many years, and ran wildly along the steep and sinister mountain roads with this fierce beast, and those disgusting roars and whispers followed her like a nightmare, and the pungent rancid smell almost To get into her mind, but the natural power in her bloodline has already begun to burn, she feels that her physical strength has temporarily returned to its peak, and the monsters that are chasing after her are not her opponents at this moment.

A whistling sound came from his ears, accompanied by a low roar of non-human and non-beasts, Camilla raised the cutting axe in his hand without looking back. The next second, the touch of flesh and bones being chopped from the fingertips After passing it back, her cutting axe whirled, and on one side of her body, a group of distorted corpses flew by her side, and taking advantage of this short gap, she looked back at her back.

The loyal tribal warriors followed closely, and ran along the mountain road towards the red jade forest with her, and the monsters rushing from the ridge line had chased them away, and the warriors kept turning around as they rushed. Counterattack, every moment there are deformed creatures or other mutant creatures beheaded by mountain warriors and champion warriors, ugly corpses fall into the mountain stream, but from time to time, there are brave warriors who are overtaken by monsters that are several times more numerous. In the struggle, he was overwhelmed by the dark tide.

At the end of her sight, there was the Wolfridge Mountain line of defense that had fallen into the sea of ​​flames. The two flags representing the Ogure tribe and the orc tribe were gone. Only countless monsters continued to cross the ridge, making the whole piece The hillsides were tumbling and surging like some kind of living creature, looking chilling and disgusting.

After all, the defense line on Wolfridge Mountain was not defended. The surviving tribal warriors had to start to retreat. She led the last squad, or...the last remaining soldiers of the squad.

The soldiers have fought as bravely as possible. Under limited conditions, they have persisted for a long time, but no one knows whether they have persisted long enough, and no one knows whether the last line of defense beyond Hongyu Linhai has its merits. Significance Even Camilla herself does not know whether there will be reinforcements from other regions or the situation on the other lines of defense.

They are just doing their best, and everyone from generals to soldiers knows this well.

"Don't save your energy, rush into the sea of ​​red jade forest!" Seeing the dark red jungle at the foot of the mountain is already close at hand, Camilla shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Don't waste the spirit witches for us Time to buy!"

The soldiers responded with a bang, but in the next second, another mountain warrior was hit by a dark red energy beam from a distance. He rolled on the mountain road with the wolf, and soon fell into the army of distortions. Only the last roar of the warrior came from the wind: "Warchief, witness for me!"

A group of humanoid flames rose from the monster group, and the mountain warrior who was covered in flames turned into a three-meter-high scorching behemoth, but the flame only burned for a moment before extinguishing in a frenzy of corruption.

Camilla retracted her gaze behind her and silently wrote down another name. The next moment, the light around her dimmed and the towering tree canopy in the red jade forest blocked the sky above her.

She has entered the ancient holy land of orcs, and the familiar towering trees in her sight whispered in the wind. She and the last warriors galloped through this dense forest, guided by the various marks left by the tribal soldiers who had evacuated before. Following the evacuation route of the soldiers, the temperature of the entire forest sea has begun to rise around Camilla and the soldiers. At this time, it is obviously cold and deep winter, but the temperature in the depths of the forest sea is already as high as summer.

The trees in his field of vision were retreating quickly, and Camilla was stupefied to see many figures appearing in the dark shadows among the trees.

The figures wrapped in dark robes watched her silently, one of them nodded slightly at her, and the wind through the forest sent a low voice: "I hope you can keep your promise, Chief Chief."

Camilla responded in a low voice: "The orcs believe in their words."

Those phantom-like "ghosts" disappeared, and heavy collisions and footsteps came from behind. Camilla knew that those deformed bodies had rushed into the forest.

The complex terrain of the forest itself will slightly hinder those monsters, but it will not hinder them for too long. The biggest effect of this kind of hindrance is to allow her and the soldiers of the squad after the break to keep a distance from the deformed body, and burn in the entire red jade forest. Before leaving this purgatory.

The surrounding temperature is higher, and sparks have begun to splash out of the air. In winter, the especially dry and flammable red jade tree makes an uncomfortable crackling sound, and the smell of sniffling smoke penetrates into the nostrils...

The towering walls of the ancient main city stood in the cold wind. Morak led the first few evacuated groups of tribal warriors who had just completed hasty preparations and the soldiers who barely gathered to guard the walls, across an open plain of gravel, looking out. In the direction of Hongyu Linhai.

The wind has sent the breath of fighting, which stimulated the old orc's nerves. He clenched the bow in his hand, the hair on his face was slightly erected, and his pupils had shrunk into two narrow slits.

Beside him, the tribal warriors and the spirit witches in the city each guarded the heavy ballistas, huge bows and battle rune stones, and among these ancient and "traditional" city defense weapons, there were also a limited number of Magic cannons and several rainbow light generators, many nervous humans and more nervous gray elves are confirming the condition of these magic weapons over and over again. They do not understand the operation of these magic weapons, but Morakk knows these powers. Powerful weapons are probably the last hope of this city.

The gray elves purchased these weapons from the Cecils at a high price, and trained professional "artillery" at a high price. For the less wealthy orc tribes, it is not necessary to maintain these expensive "advanced gadgets". An easy thing, Chief Camilla used a lot of favor to get these "babies" from the shrewd gray elves.

At the beginning, Morakot didn’t care much about these expensive and complicated things, but now...

The old orc only regretted how he didn't bankrupt his family to buy arms.

He has seen magic cannons fire, and this thing is better than cutting axe and magic.

His cranky thoughts did not last long.

A cloud of smoke rises in the distant red jade forest. The snow covered in the dense forest has already been melted and evaporated by the abnormal high temperature. The thick fog and low-altitude clouds are still floating above the forest, and now, the flames are finally Appeared in everyone's sight.

He heard a tribal warrior next to him whisper in a sad tone: "The sea of ​​red jade forest is on fire..."

With such a voice on the wall, countless orc warriors stood on the high wall, looking at the end of the gravel plain in the cold wind.

That piece of holy land with special meaning to them is burning in their sight.

Morak also felt distressed by the burning of the red jade forest, but at this moment, his more attention was still focused on the open intersection between the plain and the forest.

The fire is already burning, and thick smoke and flames are engulfing everything in the forest.

Dozens of figures riding on the wolves finally appeared in Morak’s sight.

Camilla rushed out of the red jade forest and galloped with the remaining fighters on the barbaric land of Ogure. The glorious giant sun was gradually tilting toward the western horizon, and behind her, the entire red jade forest It has begun to burn.
