Chapter 458 The Beginning of War 2
What appears in the telescope is a deserted city. This is a big city, and the broken highway connects to the checkpoint at the entrance of the city. Near the checkpoint, several railway tracks are crisscrossed and extend to the interior of the city. Looking around, large, small, tall and low buildings arise one after another. High-rise buildings and urban squares are scattered. Highways cross complex trajectories in cities, and the reasonable setting of various overpass plays a role in speeding up. There is no doubt that this is a prosperous city, if it was in the old days.
And now, the city has been abandoned.
Road fractures, overpass collapses, mutabital plants occupy railway tracks and moving lanes...
But the city is not quiet.
In the downtown square, all kinds of alien lives are active. They are diverse, some are humanoid, some are like beasts, some are as big as chariots, and some are as small as cats and dogs. The outer walls of the city's buildings are full of biological capsules. Their number is so large that it hides the original appearance of the building and presents a sense of a different world.
As for the passage that is still passable, countless scrapped cars or large obstacles have been pushed to the passage facing the Shadow Canyon to block the road that can be invaded by human beings. In addition, many strange building stars appear in every corner of the city, shining with fire and thick smoke, like factories in operation.
No one can guess what is produced.
From time to time, rows of fires passed through the sky. They seemed to be brilliant fireworks, intertwined with magnificent tracks in the air and fell into the city, blowing up fire clouds. The source of the firelight is a row of anti-aircraft guns set up at the front of the front of the front line at the other end of the shadow canyon. However, the shells of anti-aircraft guns can only fall on the edge of the city, and the threat to the city is limited.
It can bring a real threat to the city as more than a dozen infantry missiles are dragged into flames. But these infantry missiles skimmed the canyon, crossed the suburbs in front of the city, and finally reached the sky. However, it will be intercepted by all kinds of streamers rising in the city, and finally burst into a fireball over the city, declaring that the attack ended in failure.
The telescope moved in the direction of the canyon, and a steel bridge suddenly appeared in the lens. The bridge spans both ends of the canyon and is magnificent. The bridge was gray, and countless lights and fires flashed in it. It was a worker who was welding. From time to time, he had a boom to carry steel strips onto the bridge and fall to certain positions according to the engineer's wishes, and then let the workers weld them to become part of the bridge.
The bridge called "Arc de Triomphe" has begun to take shape. It will become a powerful vessel to transport the human army to the enemy's position, provided that it will not be destroyed by aliens.
And all this seen in the telescope is the most intuitive understanding of the front line of the western earth.
Zero is now appearing on the skylight of armored vehicles, and his fleet is currently driving on the Manhaighton Plateau. From here, you can use the high-power telescope to see the overview of the shadow canyon below and the enemy city opposite the canyon. According to the itinerary, the convoy will start to drive down the plateau today and arrive at the barracks east of the shadow canyon by noon tomorrow. After a short rest there, he will be thrown into the war between the western tundra and the interracial.
This is the real battlefield.
Whether it is the smell of gunpowder smoke brought by the wind or the roaring gunfire in my ears from time to time, it all reminds zero this.
This is not the same as any battle Zero has ever experienced. Most of the battles in the wilderness are limited to confrontations between capable people or conflicts between small-scale troops. The battle of Shadow Canyon is a group war. In a large-scale battle with tens of thousands of soldiers, unless they are high-level capable people, the role of low-level capable people is not as great as a large number of servants.
And even at a high level, there are different roles that can be played due to different career or ability limitations. Just like the battlefield under the eyes, from the perspective of simple killing the enemy, Zero's wanderer is not as good as Berien's thunderous hand.
This is a breakthrough that wanderers are good at, while Thunder's hand tends to distinguish between positional attacks.
Another sleepless night.
I can't fall asleep not because I'm afraid, but because I'm excited. The iron-blooded battlefield, struggling in the smoke and the line of fire. This is a stage on the front line of life and death. Whoever can live to the end is the winner. Zero is not a war maniac, but he will also be excited about the upcoming war. In the test of blood and fire, there is no third possibility of either metamorphing and changing butterflies or dying ugly!
At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at the camp smoothly. This is basically the front line of the war. The smell of gunpowder in the air is heavier, and the roar of anti-aircraft guns makes people's dialogue almost have to roar so that the other party can hear it clearly. More is a ubiquitous sense of crisis, which makes people who go to the battlefield for the first time all turn pale.
After arriving at the camp, the two regiment commanders, Tyre and Sol, soon held a field intelligence exchange meeting with the camp leaders. Then, all the high-level abilities, including the Hammer of Zero Destruction, were concentrated. The meeting place is in a spacious battlefield camp, which is obviously the strategic headquarters of the Golden Tomahawk. In the center of the camp is a square table, and there is a topographic map of the west of the shadow canyon.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen." Tyre, the god of war, served as the host of the meeting. He controlled the zoom of the three-dimensional topographic map on the table with his hands wearing sensor gloves, and finally fixed the Arc de Triomphe Bridge in the sight of everyone: "Because of the emergency, there is probably no time for you to rest. Just now, my adjutants who stayed in the camp have made a simple report, and they have detected new movements in the aliens west of the canyon. There are signs that they will soon have a large-scale attack on the Arc de Triomphe Bridge.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
On the way, almost everyone present had read the war report on both sides of the canyon. The war report pointed out that at the beginning of the canyon encounter, the Golden Tomahawk tried to pass under the canyon, but encountered strong resistance from the aliens. This caused continuous fighting under the canyon in the first two months, and both sides suffered casualties. It was the end of autumn, and it was near winter. Due to the special terrain of the canyon and the cold wind blowing from the north, it created a terrible frost storm in the canyon.
This made it impossible for both sides to stay in the canyon, so they took the canyon as the boundary and retreated to the east and west sides of the canyon. The Golden Tomahawk was stationed in the east, while the alien coalition occupied a large city west of the canyon for rest. In this season of frost storms, the canyon has become an invisible boundary. While resting, Tyre put forward a bold idea.
That is the Arc de Triomphe Bridge. Tyre hopes to build a bridge across both sides of the canyon, so that the army of the Golden Tomahawk can quickly pass through the canyon. If successful, the alien race will not be able to rely on some natural environment inside the canyon as a barrier to block the pace of the human army. Therefore, this proposal was put into practice soon after it was put forward, and Tyre also took advantage of the truce to return to Asgard for more support.
"Now that winter has passed, the frost storms in the canyon have gradually stopped. This has greatly increased the progress of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, but at the same time, it also gives the opportunity for aliens to obstruct the destruction. So far, they have organized more than ten small-scale harassment and two large-scale attacks on the Arc de Triomphe Bridge. But please pay attention to one situation, gentlemen. Tyre cleared his throat and said, "According to our observation, after winter, many alien life went into hibernation. I don't know if you have noticed the biological capsules on the building in that city? Yes, that's the hotbed for their hibernation. Now, they have ended their hibernation and gradually woke up. So the next attack is absolutely larger than any previous wave, because they will not allow the bridge to be built.
"Let me supplement it next." Thor took over his brother's words and said, "The golden tomahawk has been seriously injured since the battle, and it will take about ten days for the bridge to pass completely. Therefore, the next guard work will be carried by our hammer of destruction, but now there is a problem that the current progress of the bridge will not allow all our legion to pass. Therefore, the ten-day standby period can only be handed over to two to three teams.
"I want to know if anyone is willing to take the initiative to accept this mission?"
Everyone was silent.
This task is not simple. With the strength of two or three teams to defend against the largest wave of enemy attacks after winter, even if the Hammer of Destruction is called the elite of the elite, no one is willing to take the initiative to take this hot potato.
"Well, in this case, I can only appoint it directly." Saul also thought early that this would be the case, so he was not surprised. He swept the crowd and finally looked at Zero: "Zero, your team is so strong that it can be called first-class in our legion. So I hope that in this case, you and your team can stand up.
"No problem." Zero readily agreed.
Soll appreciates Zero's unforgoal style. Zero is another plan. In fact, according to his idea, this war must be fought sooner or later. It is better to fight early than late. Fighting early will make your troops adapt to the environment of the battlefield and the rhythm of the battle faster. Especially at this time, as long as you enter the battlefield earlier and make achievements, Zero can build prestige within the legion and even the entire front-line army.
With prestige, you have the right to speak, which can occupy a more active position in the selection of some tasks in the middle and late stages. Whether in terms of survival or reward, these are all things that need to be fought for.
If you choose to let yourself and the army fight in the middle and late period without fear of the difficulties in the early stage, no matter how good they perform, they will be submerged in a torrent-like army. This is the difference between sending charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake.
But even if Zero is willing to be a pioneer, he doesn't want to take the initiative in the atmosphere just now. Man is a creature with common characteristics. If Zero takes the initiative to propose, the limelight will be exhausted. But in the actual battle, he may not get the support of his colleagues because of his too sharp performance. After all, when everyone was unwilling to attack, Zero stood up, which undoubtedly slapped them in the face.
In such a situation, when zero is in distress, I'm afraid that few people are willing to stand up to help him, especially the teams inside Hammer of Destruction are already full of competition.
And now it is another matter that Saul took the initiative to propose. At this time, Zero agreed and called the teacher to be famous.
Then, Saul ordered two more people, James, the ability of the mutant domain demon system, and Staley, the martial arts master of the fighting domain. Both of them are fierce characters of the eighth-order. The former can become a horrible sickle demon and is good at medium-range attacks. The other is a melee with a huge explosive melee ability, which is a humanoid storm on the battlefield.
It's just that the team of these two people is a little shabby compared with zero, and James is better. It has a sniper, a guerrilla, two capable people in the elemental domain and about 50 servants; while Staley has only two guerrillas and 20 servants in his hand, and the number of members is even less than that of some low-level members.
But in fact, few people in the Hammer of Destruction have reached the eighth level like zero, but there are still a large number of middle and high-level capable people and hundreds of ordinary soldiers in their hands.
For high-level capable people, their pride is directly proportional to their ability. In their definition, the strength of an individual has been equivalent to an army, and there is no need to cultivate another army. After all, the number of army members is linked to the income, and high-level capable people can enjoy a lot of treatment in Asgatri even if they do nothing. They are neither in the mood nor have time to build their own army. For them, ordinary capable followers and servants only play the role of cannon fodder on the battlefield, and they are still the ones who really determine the battle.
So from another perspective, zero is a very diligent one in the high level.
The task is assigned, and the next step is to prepare for the war. The three teams will develop in the afternoon. After leaving the camp, they will reach the other end through the narrow bridge that is currently accessible by the Arc de Triomphe Bridge. Zero originally planned to discuss with the two captains how to spend these ten days, but neither James nor Staley planned to do so. In the face of Zero's invitation, one smiled and refused, and the other turned around and left without looking directly.
Zero shook his head and smiled bitterly. I had heard that there were arrogant guys in the Hammer of Destruction, but now it is so at first sight. I'm afraid that only Sol can command these people, and Sol, who lacks discipline, has formed this team-style fighting style. To put it better, this combat style is flexible and penetrating. To put it more simply, without Commander Sol, such an army is just a plate of scattered sand.
It can be seen that these ten days will not be so good. Zero thought.
