preparations for mobilization.

At this time, the perimeter of the blockade had been reduced to 15 kilometers, and this distance was nothing compared to the instantaneous advance capability of the armored forces;

Therefore, each hunting group that was halfway through the journey only took a very short time to complete their deployment before the battle even started.

On the northern front, 46 hunting groups gathered in a short period of time, while the southern front was maintained at 15 groups, and the east and west fronts were reduced to only 3 groups each.

At the same time, since the mission of the early warning circle has ended, 28 investigators were also dispatched;

They will provide long-distance continuous fire support to armored units in the east-west direction to help them complete their mission as quickly as possible, and then move to the south.

The time has come to 4:35 at night, and the airship formation in the sky is only the last 60 kilometers away from City 034. It will take about 13 minutes to arrive, and after that, it will take additional time to land, deploy force, etc.

time.

~~~~~~

At this moment, the encirclement has been compressed to an area about 800 meters outside the wall, and the prelude to the confrontation between the two sides also occurred at this point in time.

Strong light, extremely strong light shines from the altar to the north, and there are also unknown interferences, which are also centered on it and fluctuate towards all areas within a radius of three kilometers;

Under the illumination of the former, the elves in the outer armor of the North City felt a sting in their eyes;

In the ensuing unknown fluctuations, not only was the invisibility effect of all armor on all sides broken, but it was also mixed with extremely complex weakening chaos spell effects;

At this time, the elves intuitively felt the weakening of themselves by the chaos spell. They were far from having the physique of the advanced salamanders, so they were naturally unable to exempt themselves from the curse from the ancestral altar;

Moreover, external armor also belongs to the "hostile force" and also has biological properties, so its material properties and other aspects are also affected;

Fortunately, the functionality of the totem is no longer in the category of "can be weakened", at least it is no longer within the weakening range of the attack on the Ancestral Altar, so it does not directly lose its combat ability;

The 'invisibility breaking' effect has nothing to do with the totem, but is more caused by interference on the physical level.

Putting aside the rest for now, before the elves could adapt to this kind of 'blinding' and 'curse', hundreds more fireballs rose from the central altar;

Among them, a small half bombarded away in the other three directions, and the other half, with more than 200 fireballs, all flew towards the northern area of ​​the city.

At present, although the elves have changed their external windows to brown with the help of the plexus organs, the vision of their eyes has not yet been restored.

The speed of the fireballs is unusually fast, and each one has a diameter of about 1 meter;

They flew about 2.3 kilometers in the blink of an eye, carrying the roar of the strong wind, roaring at the 'impact point', and creating huge craters with high-temperature flames;

This is not over yet. The fireball has completed a direct attack on the landing point. From the inside, a large amount of grease is shot out to the outer edge, and it hits a rectangular area of ​​15 meters in front with a base of 15 meters and a length of 30 meters.

It caused strong high-temperature splash damage, and incidentally also expanded the flame coverage area to an extreme.

Before the elves could adapt to the bright light and their weakened bodies, they smashed down in a panic, drowning them all in the surprised sight of the breakouts six or seven hundred meters away.

"Go ahead!!"

Excited birds chirping sounded, and the five thousand strongest shelter warriors, with 3,500 mammoths as the core, suddenly accelerated their speed, preparing to complete the breakthrough in one go.

~~~~~

In the area covered by the fireball attack, the elves and their respective armors were not damaged at all in the fire;

However, in order to pursue the maximum killing effect, those fireballs were deliberately guided by the altar to have a high degree of overlap with each other at the impact point, and thus generated a powerful shock wave;

Therefore, the elves were blown to pieces at least, and their heads are still dizzy. If they continue like this, their lives may be safe, but the blockade mission will definitely fail.

Of course, the situation will not develop in that direction. The totem with the 'awakening' function is activated in the stress and quickly wakes up the driver's slightly groggy brain;

Subsequently, the totem that eliminates negative effects was also activated under the control of the plexus organ;

Whether it was a weakening of strength or agility, when they were unclear about what kind of negative effects they had suffered, and how many negative effects they had suffered, the warriors chose to activate them all regardless, and adjusted them to a cycle-on mode;

Then, with a sense of relief as if a heavy shell had been shed, they roughly restored their bodies and armor material properties.

'Damn barbarians, it's our turn now, right?'

The direction in which the ‘Mammoth Species’ is located must be the main breakout area, so the receiving frequency band of the acoustic reconnaissance is fixed to the beating frequency range of its heart;

Then, the soldiers changed the direction of their weapons according to the "radar" displayed in their minds. They did not wait for the flames to extinguish, nor did they rush out immediately. They got up from the ground and immediately launched a counterattack on the spot.

The reconnaissance armor raised its left and right arms, and the deformed assault gun barrels on both sides continuously fired wind blades outward;

Combat armor is different

They did not activate the 'machine gun' style strafing mode. Instead, they deformed two thick and short pipes on the left and right on the shoulder armor, forming an elevation angle diagonally forward. Then as the internal totem took effect, an internal totem was created.

strange spheres;

In the mouth of the tube, the sphere made a dense 'wind sound', and was shot diagonally forward in a sharp whistling sound.

Afterwards, the totem in the free nozzle was activated again, and a second round of offensive was brewing in less than three seconds.

~~~~~

Outside the wall of flames, warriors of various races with hope in their eyes were advancing rapidly, but just when they developed an optimistic attitude, something unexpected happened, and an unexpected tragedy ensued.

‘Whoosh whoosh!!!!’

It's still the familiar voice, still the familiar rhythm. Countless wind blades emerge from the fire that has not been extinguished. They form a dense and terrifying barrage, allowing those at the front and even several rows inward to break through.

They fell in large pieces like harvested wheat;

The cluster of wind blades briefly dispersed the raging fire, but from the cracked gap, an unharmed elven armored warrior stepped out.

Seeing that the expected success did not happen, the eyes of the protected warriors who were cowardly by nature showed disbelief;

They looked six hundred meters away, looking at the purgatory-like scenery, and the elves covered in armor were like demons crawling out of them, strongly arousing fear in the hearts of the soldiers.

But before the fear could brew for a long time, one short roar after another rose into the air, and in an instant it fell to the middle of the breakout troops and exploded;

At the explosion point, countless fine wind blades rapidly spread outward. In a dense array, they created empty areas one after another filled with broken limbs.

Fear fermented, and the soldiers at the front began to flee backwards, and the collision caused chaos further behind.

"Death to the fugitive!"

Angry shouts rang out from the mammoth troops, and the war supervisors naturally killed the chickens to scare the monkeys. In a short time, they used crossbow arrows and the power they had accumulated over a long period of time to contain the first wave of retreat.

At this moment, there was another movement at the central altar. When the elves looked there vigilantly, they found some special purple halos in the sky;

This time, the altar was no longer covered, and the purple light with unknown effects only appeared rich on the north side.

'Enable the armor at maximum power! Avoid immediately!'

‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’

When Cynthia's voice came from inside the armor, there was also a familiar roar from behind, which seemed to be the sound of heavy artillery. It seemed that the little witch doctor had not really been idle after finishing the construction of the command center.

The enemy's attack was successful before our own heavy artillery. It seemed to be a kind of "light" that condensed power, and it almost reached the attack point the moment it was activated;

Although the 138 armored warriors activated their foot reaction chambers as quickly as possible and completed the displacement in an instant, they were still each struck by 1-2 rays of light, and the attacks occurred quickly and accurately, without any

A shot misses the target or misses the mark.

The area where the armor was hit instantly formed a melted point as thick as a thumb and several centimeters deep;

Judging from its effect alone, if the totem had not enhanced its protective properties, the strength of the material itself would be almost impossible to resist its penetration.

However, most of the rays were aimed at the forehead of the armor.

'Idiots! Move! Move! Are you going to use your stance as a target? Keep an irregular evasive trajectory!'

Cynthia's somewhat annoyed voice came, and the three heavy artillery rounds belonging to her own side also traveled an unknown distance of many kilometers and hit the altar in the city with great accuracy;

'If you disturb the altar for the time being, you will have a period of time where you can attack freely. I will remind you again when the shaman resets.'

'clear!'

This gap only lasted less than three seconds, and the enemy force also took advantage of this to move forward more than ten meters. There was still a gap of nearly 600 meters between the two sides.

On the Elf side, the armored warriors no longer stood still, but began to move more flexibly, and the firepower that had been interrupted by the previous attack was resumed again, and life was harvested again;

On the side of the mammoths, two emotions arose. The morale of the shelter warriors rose slightly, but the mammoth warriors who understood what the previous attack meant actually felt deep sorrow in their hearts.

The city's most powerful attack method has only achieved so little effect. They are no longer optimistic about the future of this trip;

Among them, some senior officials had doubts about the order to break out of the city and felt that it was not a good idea;

But as a strong clan known for their obedience and cohesion, they still instinctively carried out the breakout.

~~~~~~

At this time, the movement on the east and west sides had stopped with the victory of the elves. Whether it was the cannon fodder warriors or the abandoned old and weak, the numerical advantage could not be transformed into victory, and the vast majority of them fell to the guns.

After hearing this, only a handful of people staggered and fled back to the city.

Just as the armored elves and unarmored scouts were preparing to go south for support, Cynthia's new order came

She asked the unarmored soldiers to detour to the south for long-range support, while the armored soldiers broke into the city directly and launched a feint attack at the central altar;

The buffering speed of our own heavy artillery is too slow, and the central altar is about to regain its containment ability, so it must have the power to threaten it.

This was undoubtedly a dangerous mission, but there was no objection among the executors, and they immediately followed the order and began to advance towards the city gate.

On the other side, the southern front was in a panic, but countless hunting groups still relied on powerful firepower to stick to their mission and did not let go of any enemy individuals.

In the command center, Cynthia was paying attention to the battlefield while urging the only three heavy artillery pieces to complete the attack buffer as soon as possible. In addition, she was always paying attention to the situation in the airspace and calculating the arrival time of headquarters support.

At 4:39 at night, only about three minutes have passed since the battle began. The airship formation is still about 45 kilometers away from City 034, a 10-minute journey.
Chapter completed!
