Chapter 944 No Man's Land
The world is silent and gray.
The dust falling from the sky is like snow. It seems to have returned to that era that has not changed dramatically, as if everything was nothing but a big dream.
Unfortunate, this dream will not wake up and cannot wake up.
Ugly, it is still ugly. Even if it is decorated with hypocritical beauty, it can't hide the truth behind it. So when Oglock stretched out a finger and gently touched the "snowflake" falling from the sky, a slight needle prickly from his finger, which was a sign of strong radiation. The snowflakes melted and scattered into a touch of smoke. Fly away and disappear into nothingness.
Oglock knew that it was not snow, but the high temperature and heat generated after the big explosion, which evaporated the water in the space. The evaporated water is mixed with the dust material rolled into the sky by the explosion. After the heat energy subsides, the strong temperature difference causes these mixtures to freeze rapidly, forming ice crystals, which is like a snowfall.
A ugly snow.
He knew it, but he didn't want to find out. Unfortunately, whether he wants it or not, the truth is there. Facing the snowy sky, Oglock sighed and lifted a few rocks that pressed on him. Looking back, two-thirds of the area of Yongye City has disappeared.
The strong explosion caused the earth to crack and sink. The city is close to the seaside, but now the buildings are scrambling to sink into the sea. The sea water is poured back, competing for more territories and stripping more land. Oglock is on the edge of the city, and the buildings in this area have already been flattened by the explosion. The cracks of the earth did not stop spreading. They made a click sound, split the land, separated them in pieces, and finally were swept away by the sea.
The aftershocks of the explosion even form a whirlpool on the surface of the sea, and above the whirlpool is a dark gray mushroom cloud. In the clouds, there are still lightning flashes from time to time, reminding Oglock of the power of the explosion just now.
If you don't try your best to defend, even if you are on the edge of the explosion, Oglock will not be alive. At the moment of the explosion, a high-temperature jet of more than 4,000 degrees diffused radiation, testing Oglock's defense field. As a result, he survived, but his energy had been exhausted, and most of his body's tissues were necrotic. Even if you can recover, your strength will jump, no more than the previous height of the 12th level.
This is no different from death for Oglock.
The sound of fine footsteps penetrated into his ears, and Oglock looked at it. From the ruins of the city, dark guards climbed out. They were ordered by Proxius to leave early before the star-bombers blew themselves up. Only a few unlucky people were involved in the explosion zone, but overall, the number of guards lost was limited. Now they are back, naturally to give Oglock a fatal blow.
The black guard approached, and Oglock smiled instead. He stood straight, stretched out his arms and closed his eyes. At the moment before his death, his mind was strangely calm. At this time, what ideas and ambitions become less important.
Absolute calm.
The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and the speaker who noticed something strange opened his eyes and watched the white snowflakes float down. This is real snow, an ice crystal formed purely by water cooling! Oglock seemed to understand something. When he looked up, there was a burst of ** behind the guard. Suddenly, the blue * roar flashed, and a guard instantly turned into an ice sculpture and exploded one by one.
The exploding ice sculpture made a passage between the guards. At the end of the passage, the long flying blue hair is like a burning ice flame.
A pair of wings formed by ice and snow opened, setting off a gust of ice and wind, solidifying the guards from both sides of the channel. The huge inverted V-shaped ice sword crossed the most clear lines in the air, and all the guards on this line were ruthlessly killed.
The cold wind swirled, and a figure fell quietly. Blue hair fluttered in mid-air by invisible anger. Xiuya smiled and said, "I'm sorry, father, I disobeyed your request again."
"Bad girl!" For a long time, a faint smile appeared on Oglock's face and a scolding.
Xiuya was very uncomfortable and stretched out her hand to stand on her father's shoulder. With a flap of ice wings, she and Oglock flew up and swept away from the black ocean in an instant.
The second day after the Annihilators raided Yongye City, in a wilderness 200 kilometers away from Yongye City, the human army had just set up a new camp, and soldiers who could not catch their breath joined the ranks of vigilance and defense. In the command camp, Douglas sat silently, watching Cario and others arguing loudly around the tactical map.
Zero came to his side and said softly, "Are you all right?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a minor injury." Douglas shook his head and said that he was indeed a little injured in the confrontation with Oglock. However, the most serious injury was caused by himself. Douglas used unparalleled power to control Oglock's actions. This force placed a heavy burden on his body, but the rupture of blood vessels was indeed only a minor injury in the eyes of the 12th-order strong man.
In one day, these injuries healed long ago. What really makes Douglas feel heavy is not his injury, but the lingering picture in his mind.
The picture of Oglock standing alone on the earth and being submerged by countless guards.
"Oglock may not die." Zero patted him on the shoulder and said.
Douglas smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I'm really old and wrote my mind on my face. How could you see through my heart so easily?"
"Since you say so, I will try to pretend to be stupid in the future." Zero intentional way.
Then the two laughed.
Cario and others, who were arguing about how to deal with this sudden incident, all glared at the two and then continued the discussion. Douglas blinked at Zero and said, "Are you interested in walking out with an old guy? These guys seem to be angry."
With zero shrug, no commander will suddenly lose a large number of soldiers and resources, which will never be happy. He accompanied Douglas out of the camp, and the two came to a high slope where they could see the wilderness in the distance. Several sentries saluted the two. Douglas nodded and pointed in the direction of the Eternal Night City and said, "Look, the Eternal Night City has disappeared."
Douglas's face was solemn, and he found a stone protruding from the ground and sat down and said, "Evelasting Night City is Og's painstaking efforts. It's gone now. Even if Ollo is still alive, I'm afraid it's better to die.
"It's better to be alive than to die. If you die, there is no hope. Even if you are desperate, there is still a chance to live. Zero sound.
Douglas looked at him and nodded, "You're right."
He looked at the camp behind him: "It's a pity that not everyone is as brave as you, zero. Look at these soldiers, they will also be afraid of unknown creatures. Especially after the battle like yesterday, I don't think it's easy to restore their confidence.
Zero is silent.
Yesterday, I was suddenly attacked by the Star Destroyer and the Guards. First, under the devastating high-energy beam of the Star Destroyer, countless soldiers were killed. Then the guard army attacked. If the attack of the star destroyers gave them, it was a shock to the death of a large number of lives in an instant. Then what these guards bring is the fear brought by ruthless killing.
The army of the guards suddenly entered the chaotic barracks when the human coalition came to their senses under the attack of the annihilators. It was not a battle at all, but a massacre. The command network exists in name, the soldiers are almost fighting separately, and the two armies continue to lose blood under the influx of a large number of guards. It was not until the capable troops built the first line of defense, and then Cario and others rushed back to gradually reverse the situation.
After leaving the bodies of tens of thousands of people, the army was able to retreat in an orderly manner. After withdrawing 200 kilometers, the guards did not continue to pursue, and the human coalition got a chance to breathe. After that, the war losses were recorded. In the wilderness outside the Yongye City, the two allied forces lost more than 40,000 lives. In terms of war damage, if we compare the total number of soldiers of the coalition. Although the amount of losses is heartbreaking, it is still barely acceptable, but the army's war damage comes too fast and urgent.
A large number of lives withered in an hour, and the huge impact of death also frightened these well-trained soldiers. It is a fear of helplessness and even despair of powerful forces.
To ease or even reverse the psychology of these soldiers, the problem now in front of commanders such as Douglas or Cario is to win a victory. Use this to boost morale and sweep away the shadows in their hearts.
However, all this is not easy, and the Eternal Night City has been completely erased from the territory of the mainland. All the soldiers know this, even if it is only the damage caused by the self-explosion of the destroyers, for these soldiers, it seems to imply that the invaders are irresistible. It is not easy to remove this shadow of the soul.
The wind blew from behind, and there was a wisp of fishy smell in the wind. Zero frowned and turned around to look. The light in the distance of the wilderness is dim, and gradually, a black cloud is spreading against the horizon. Zero pupils expand and the vision is narrowed. He saw clearly that it was not a dark cloud at all, but a dark tide composed of hundreds of thousands of guards!
"Enemy attack!" Zero roared, and the sound floated in the rear camp.
Douglas sighed and stood up.
On this day, more than half a million guards hit the camp of the human army like a flood. In this dangerous wilderness, only the defense line composed of capable people can barely withstand the impact of a large number of guards. The black waves set off flood peaks one after another, hitting the human defense line one after another. At this moment, the Yingling Hall and the Dark Parliament are closely linked, consisting of the blood horse and the hammer of destruction as the main body of the defense line, blocking the attack of the enemy's black front.
The army retreated again, this time to the Blu-ray Mountains. Relying on the terrain of the blue mountains and the defense facilities previously built by the Augustus family, the human army got a chance to rest. The black soldier has been chasing near the blue mountain, and then he received an invisible order to retreat.
In the Blu Mountains, led by Leo, some of the former members of the Dark Parliament formed a temporary parliament and negotiated with Douglas and others in the Yingling Hall how to deal with the next war. Douglas's suggestion is to reorganize the army and go north again, and remove Prosius' biological army from the mainland as soon as possible before they are stable.
However, except for Leo, the rest of the legislators opposed Douglas' opinion. They think that it is not wise not to start a counterattack at this time. The morale of the army and the allocation of materials are all difficult problems in front of them. If these problems cannot be solved, rush north, and there will be another big defeat. And now, they can't afford to lose. If the battle is defeated again, the morale of the soldiers will fall to the bottom.
There may even be deserters. Once there are deserters, the army is not far from collapse. Therefore, the next action must be cautious and should not be too risky.
In this way, the two sides were entangled in the issue of attack or defense. The meeting was held several times, but no consensus was reached.
On the third night of retreating into the blue mountains, Zero met Douglas. Douglas looked a little tired. He shook his head and said, "These cowards are still afraid to fight at this time."
"Because they are not you, they don't have the courage to fight desperately." Zero said.
"If we can't abandon selfish interests and consider the overall situation at this time, why should we fight this war?" Douglas sighed.
Zero shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe they need time, or they need something to help them make up their minds."
"What about?"
"I don't know." Ling smiled and said, "But I'm going back alone. Someone always needs to keep abreast of the latest situation of the enemy, right? Maybe I can bring back something that makes the legislators make up their minds.
Douglas looked at him and said, "I won't say anything superfluous. Be careful."
"I know."
At night, Zero secretly left the Blue Mountain and returned to the northern part of the coastline alone.
In the blink of an eye, another day.
The northern part of the coastline has fallen under the control of Proxius, and the mute beasts wandering in the wilderness are far away from that area in groups. The breath of both the Star Dibers and the Guards' Legion makes the mutabulary beasts feel afraid, which is the fear of facing natural enemies. Even if some mutable beasts in the wilderness have evolved energy crystals, they can't avoid this instinctive panic.
The Yongye City is now only left in the marginal area, and the sea has spread through the middle of the city, and the waves beat against the wreckage of collapsed buildings or cars. The sky here is gray, dark gray, and the remaining star-sator slowly falls to the sea, and its huge body slid into the sea, causing one huge wave after another. The destroyer made a low sound, and when the sound completely disappeared, it had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea.
A guard of about 100,000 left the Eternal Night City at the same time. They did not go south along the coastline highway, but diagonally through the wilderness and disappeared on the horizon.
The remaining guards are coiled near the Eternal Night City, occupying every corner of the ruins. If you mark the areas occupied by the guards, you will find that they are fan-shaped. In the depths of this fan-shaped area, there is a queen and two producers. Now, the two producers are absorbing the energy of the continent, and the energy crystals produced are used by the queen.
The Queen did not produce combat biological weapons, but laid two fraterns as high as a hill. There are two producers in the fraternal. Originally, each star-beroer carried a queen and two producers. They will be the basic production unit of Proxius in Central Continent. But a star annihilator blew himself up in order to wipe out Oglock, and three production units have turned to ashes together with the star bombers before they could be released.
In this situation, the queen can only expand the number of production units before she can produce other arms. The queen is the maker of the biological legion, but it can't produce the same kind. However, the channel expands the number of producers. With a sufficient supply of energy crystals, the Queen can shorten the production cycle of biological weapons, thus increasing the number of biological weapons in disguise.
Now, the duty of the defenders occupying the Eternal Night City is to ensure that the queen will not be disturbed when she produces a large army. In the production list received by the queen, because a large number of guards themselves are equivalent to medium and high-level weapons, the queen will directly ignore low-level weapons such as assault insects and harvesters. After the other two producers hatch, the energy crystals produced by the producers will be supplied to it for the production of high-grade weapons.
The first weapon to be produced is the arbitrator, a biological weapon that has strong melee capabilities and can serve as the command node of the biological army. After they are put into the battlefield, an effective command network will be formed. In this way, the combat efficiency of the guards will be doubled.
After the arbitrator, the Black Flame Inspector and the Guardian of Fear will be produced one after another. The former can produce a small fire puppet army by itself, and each black flame inspector can be regarded as a small army with high combat flexibility. In particular, the medium-range position battle is the best field of this biological weapon; the latter is the auxiliary arm of the entire biological legion, and a certain number of fear guards work together to cast a fear field, which will have a huge blow to the morale of ordinary soldiers and low-level capable people.
At the same time, their other abilities can also play the role of assist, assistance and so on. Once under the unified command of the arbitrator, the combat ability of the whole army will be improved by one step.
The horror of the Black Legion lies not only in the number, but also in the cooperation of multiple arms. Once they form a scale, it is not a lie to sweep the mainland with the cooperation of different arms. Of course, Prosius needs time to achieve this goal.
Human beings also need it.
A heavy-loaded locomotive was speeding on the coastline road, with a cold expression wearing windshield glasses. In the reflection of the mirror, a black fog hovering over the Eternal Night City. It is not a magnetic storm cloud transformed by Proxius, but a natural substance formed by producers after extracting continental energy. These materials form a fog mass, which floats with countless material particles, which will effectively separate the vast majority of detection wave energy, thus turning the occupied land into an unknown area.
Zero is heading towards this area, and the northern end of the coastline has become a no man's land.
