Chapter 906 Steel, Demons and Sublimators (5200, 12, ask for double monthly tickets!)

[Ian, the beast tide is coming! 】

After hearing these words from the Marquis of Barton, Ian was a little confused for the first time, because he didn't figure out what the 'beast tide' was.

But soon, he wanted to understand the meaning of the other party's words, so he opened his eyes wide: "You mean, the demons control the monster groups in those abysses?"

[That's it, I can't say control, but those monster groups are all crazy]

What the Marquis of Barton said made Ian frown.

The golden plain is the result of a certain mantle lava upwelling in the Terra continent before the dark rock event, which was suppressed by the sublimators of that era during the catastrophe of the skyfall. Therefore, there are a lot of rare metal veins here , There are also quite a few special monster groups that rely on these veins.

For example, inside the Nine-Spin Abyss, there is a complete underground ecosystem and five large monster lairs, which are areas set as key ecological observation objects by the empire.

In addition, there are many abyss caves in the golden plain, and the number of monsters inside is really countless, and it is also a major source of monster materials in Nanling.

But obviously, the Feiyan people don't care about the ecological resources of the empire. They must have used some method to manipulate the monster group as their 'vanguard' to attack Nanling.

"So soon?"

Ian's expression was solemn. He actually had a premonition of this possibility, but he didn't expect Feiyan to control the monsters so fast - in just one day, the opponent has already created a wave of beasts?
What exactly is this technology?
Without the slightest hesitation, Ian directly applied for off-site assistance and asked Longdao!

"Is this abyss technology?"

And Long Dao's answer is also very simple: [Yes]

Afterwards, Jifeng Dragon King gave a thoughtful comment: [This is a spiritual infection of the abyss, which directly interferes with the sanity of normal creatures through the virtual world, making them gradually crazy and violent—if the creature is originally very violent, for example Predators like sharp-clawed tigers will soon degenerate into their own demonized subspecies in the labyrinth of the subspace]

at the same time.

Golden plain, demon legion.

A four-clawed horror robot is moving quickly in the grass of the plain.

This spider-like four-clawed robot moves very quickly, and is very similar to common plain arthropods, so it cannot be detected by people who do not know their existence.

And because it is a machine creation, it is extremely difficult for the devil to find such a small, lifeless target. Even if it finds it, it is not clear whether it is a local 'little' bug.

Thanks to the wonderful land of Terra, whether the bugs in this place are as big as basketballs or metal exoskeletons are normal.

Even if found, there are many different models of such bugs.

Therefore, this terrifying robot equipped with a professional camera can accurately capture the terrifying changes that are taking place at the headquarters of the Demon Legion.

On a flat ground full of flesh and blood, the red blood plasma boiled like lava, and it could be vaguely seen that the flesh and blood came from various completely different monsters.

And one lemur threw himself into it like a sacrifice, their bodies dissolved, and their souls began to reorganize—and as hundreds of lemurs threw themselves into this mass of flesh and blood, a purple-red vortex began to take shape, boiling like a vortex. The scarlet mist began to swell.

Then, in the mist, tall and burly 'warcraft' with a height of more than 20 meters came out one after another.They have different shapes, muscular and almost sickly, and their fur is as red as flames and blood, which makes people think of terrible carnage.

And on the heads of these monsters, the big horns of demon power shine with flowing luster.

"Roar!!!!"

As soon as they were born, these demons who had obtained a new body let out roars that shook the atmosphere one after another, and the violent energy spread, rolling up the wind and sand.

[They use the flesh and blood of monsters to upgrade the inferior monsters to beast monsters]

Seeing the video broadcast by Ian, the True Flame Dragon King who provided off-site assistance was awed: [It seems that Feiyandi has indeed obtained the abyss technology-at least they have obtained a complete set of abyss level maps, and know which emotions and spirits to use. What kind of demon can be created]

[Although these beast monsters can no longer be advanced into more powerful true demons, their combat effectiveness has obviously been greatly improved in a short period of time]

"So that's how it is." Ian thought of the rotting fungus before Nanling, and those berserk monsters: "Sure enough, there is a precondition..."

He was a little stunned: "This is also a part of the demon army? Through the biological plague, the local creatures enter a manic and violent mood, and then use demon technology to catalyze the demonic beasts that would not take the initiative to be enemies of human beings into real monsters." Demon beast."

"Then, use the flesh and blood of these demonized beasts to create beast monsters...Indeed, this is a whole set of demon war processes!"

It seems that this is part of the trump card of the demon army.The future Immortal Legion will definitely need real demons as the basis for advancement. Converting inferior demons into beast demons is equivalent to actively extinguishing the possibility of this future.

If Ian hadn't made Death Knell feel too difficult, he would never use this method.

But now, with the beast tide as the vanguard, thousands of demons as the skeleton, and hundreds of monsters as the core of the charge, the offensive of the demon army has begun to take shape!
"It only takes a few hours at most for these beast monsters to reshape their bodies... The war is about to begin! And in our territory, all monsters that have been infected with 'madness' may degenerate into demon beasts!"

"It must be dealt with immediately!"

Ian looked dignified, but he was not flustered, but directly connected to 'Huo Xin'.

"Now sneak into the Void Realm of the Western Territory and explore the situation inside the Cursed Soil."

Ian gave succinct instructions: "Now all the attention of the demon legion is concentrated on Nanling, and there is no time to stop you. You must use the fastest way to find the terrifying existence that is being bred in the void, send its message to me and retreat immediately. "

"If there is still time, go back to the two fortresses on the border of the South Ridge that have been charmed by you, and charm them to be loyal to me and to the Yinfeng leader... this is part of the plan."

"This is your most important task."

[Yes, my lord] Confused and righteously responded: [Guaranteed to complete the task]

Consciously returning to his meeting room, Ian communicated with Scott and Qingchao: "The steel feather troops and the unmanned armored troops are ready to attack immediately, and notify the Marquis of Barton that the new armed forces of the [-]th Legion must also start action immediately. Keep the enemy at the edge of the golden plain."

"Yes!"

Scott and Qing Chao also became serious at this moment. This is the first time they have officially participated in a battle that can be recorded in the history of Terra... Regardless of the result and scale, the demon army first invaded the empire. 's debut is destined to be recorded in history.

And Nanling's response will determine whether the demon army is a demon king who brings despair and terror to all living beings, or a clown who speaks too much - it is not yet known who the protagonist of this debut will be.

Qing Chao is about to go to the Steel Feather Squad to summon his team leaders. Their task is to wait for an opportunity to raid the enemy's rear and destroy the beast monster incubation pool behind the demons.

And Scott will be responsible for checking the resource situation in the current territory and sorting out the situation. Xiou will be able to connect to the heart of Terra immediately. He must ensure that the unmanned armor controlled by Xiou can set off immediately, and The war officially started, and the public opinion propaganda in the territory and the intelligence of the Heart of Terra were also summarized.

In addition, Ian also told Scott to prepare to lead a team to wipe out the monsters that are relatively close to human settlements in the territory-even if they may be killed by mistake, they will never give the enemy any chance.

"Adelbert."

And at the end, Ian said to Void Realm: "Are you ready?"

"Ready." Adbert's voice came from the depths of the void, with heavy echoes, but he still had a hint of hesitation: "It's just Ian, is this really okay?"

"do not worry."

The corner of Ian's mouth curled up, and he said firmly: "I believe that my subjects absolutely love and respect me."

So, the war began.

Terra 775, in mid-July, an army composed of steel and virtual AI stepped out of their production workshop.Like the demon army, this army also appeared on this land for the first time.

In the long past, similar armies appeared in the wars of pre-epoch civilizations, and 600 years later, the combination of mechanical knowledge from another world and local imaginary technology was born, which is a brand new existence .

The heart of the alchemy furnace behind the burly exoskeleton armor was humming and running, pushing the nearly ton-heavy body to step on the ground, and a new type of artillery walked out of the workshop under the assembly of the workers, and those bearings and tracks were still slightly worn. The heat contained enough power to crush everything.

And among these generally two or three-meter-high steel figures, every other team will have a nearly six-meter-high armor. The silver-white steel armor reflects the dazzling sunlight. Modules, so that they must hit every shot.

Cyclops MKⅡ, a long-range sniper unit with heavy firepower.Optimized according to Ian's first-generation Cyclops armor, it can fire a lot of heavy firepower including light prism cannons and cloud bombs by a single soldier.

On the other side of the land, the Nanling [-]th Army Corps, armed with Yinfeng collar technology, also walked out of the station with the mighty bells ringing. This army has not yet been fully mechanized, and behind the exoskeleton army, there are still a large number of ordinary troops.

This army also has a large number of armor and artillery, and their main task is to deal with the enemy's impact on the line of defense that has been roughly erected.

And their enemy is an army of destruction that seems to come from another world.

To the north of Nauman City, there is an arbor forest in a small basin in the south of the Golden Plain. There are many water systems here, and stretches of arbor forest sway in the heat wave. In the past, it was a beautiful scenery praised by travelers.

But now, this beautiful land and water is burning.

fire.A fire ignited from north to south, and the trees were burning in the climax, while the dense crowd of monsters rolled on the ground like a tide, and the scarlet pupils of the beasts moved forward with a stream of light, making the ground tremble endlessly.

In this formation, there is an entire tribe of plain rock wolves, and there are more than thirty wind-eroding giant spiders, and those scorpion spiders that are like steel chariots and white in body are enamel scorpion spiders. These live in caves The dangerous monsters are now covered with colorful magic patterns, exuding an astonishing evil spirit, rushing towards the human settlements.

The Nanling scouts watching this scene were full of panic and uneasiness. Sweat dripped from their faces and foreheads, but they did not dare to breathe.

Because these demonic beasts, which have apparently begun to demonize, are not the real source of their fear.

What really made them feel the cold hands and feet was the "slowly moving" monsters behind these monsters.

It is said to be moving slowly, but in fact it is just because it is too large, and it only needs to take a step to keep up with the army. In the mighty heat wave, giant beasts over 20 meters high step out of the fire and smoke, like A demon god who came out of hell.

Beast.More than hundreds of giant monster beasts, which can only be dealt with by a sublimator of the second energy level, pressed towards Nanling.

And on the shoulders of these beast monsters, demon officers with human shapes are commanding the whole army.

The army of demons, forged by the fear of all beings, and the army of machines without blood and tears are marching opposite each other.

But in fact, because of the detection of the scouts and the Yinfengling terror robot, the Nanling side, who had determined the enemy's location, took the lead in launching the offensive.

"The shooting elements have been calibrated."

The artillery units on the front line have been set up in advance, and more than a hundred large-caliber heavy artillery are rapidly adjusting their shooting angles according to the messages from the front line.When everything has been calculated, they launch.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Amidst the sound of rhythmic blasting and whistling in the air, countless shells rushed to the sky and then fell to the ground. This scene was like a large piece of steel rain falling from the sky and exploding a large piece of flame on the distant land. flower.It's just that these flowers are enough to destroy everything. The moment they bloom, the earth shakes and the rocks crack.

However, if a mere heavy firepower can hurt the demon army, wouldn't the Western Region Legion not be able to pump out thousands of alchemy heavy cannons to cover and scrub the ground?

Just ten seconds before the heavy artillery landed, the fusion demon officers had already raised their heads. Their excellent dynamic vision surpassed that of monsters, and they could directly see the trajectory of the artillery tens of kilometers away. For them, the bullets with several times the speed of sound were nothing more than throwing them faster. snowballs.

So at this moment, the flames suddenly rose into the sky, and the cursed soil that had begun to spread in the void echoed with the material world, forming a temporary subspace block.

Most of the demons and monsters were hiding in it, and the powerful heavy firepower covered the entire land, smashing the solid basalt rock formations of the golden plain, but it missed even a single target.

Then, the Demon Legion reappeared in reality, unscathed.

This is the importance of the 'Soil of Grudge' - the void eroded by the cursed soil, it is very easy for demons to enter and exit, and it only takes less than a second to complete the transfer, thereby avoiding all physical damage.

In addition, in the real world corresponding to the void covered by the cursed soil, everyone will subconsciously feel anxious, uneasy, and frightened. In severe cases, they may even have extremely strong depressive reactions. For beasts, manic aggressiveness will be high.

This is also convenient for the demons to convert them into cannon fodder-like followers.

Because the cursed soil is so important, as soon as the demon army arrives at a certain place, it will immediately start a bloody massacre, spreading the range of the cursed soil... In a sense, this war is closely related to ordinary people.

Because they became the fuel and supplies of the demons.

Of course, Cursed Soil is not omnipotent.

There were also some larger beast monsters who could not immediately enter the Void Realm, so they still withstood the artillery attack.

A beast monster that looks like a cow, but more like a bull-headed troll, received a 500mm heavy cannon head-on—but even this one can kill heavy artillery shells with a radius of [-] meters. The top of the demon's head exploded, and it was nothing more than to shatter the horns on the giant beast's head.

The tauren beast monster wobbled for a while, then came back to its senses and let out a violent roar.

With the support of the Cursed Soil, the beast monster that should have been traumatized quickly began to recover on its own. Except for the two big horns on its head, it was even hard to see what kind of injury it had suffered.

This is the war in the world of Terra - the artillery bombardment that is enough to destroy all flesh and blood is effective in the face of an army composed of sublimated creatures, although it cannot be said that there is no effect, but at most it is bloody and bloody, and does not threaten life.

Not to mention, most of the enemy can even directly transfer time and space, avoiding all damage from the material world... This is the real reason why the demon army can break through many fortresses in the western region one after another!
"Conventional fire is ineffective."

To the north of Nauman City, Ian and the Marquis of Barton stood on the temporary fortification fortress and looked at the black and red fire cloud that was coming straight from a distance. Visions of the world.

The old man squinted his eyes. He was not nervous. He had seen similar big scenes many times decades ago: "It was the same with the Gray Eagle Knights back then. With the bombardment of the heavy artillery from the Junlingbao Mountain Range, they broke through the encirclement abruptly and entered the inside of the Junlingbao defense line."

"The mountain heavy artillery of Junlingbao is amazing. It is said that it is a super cannon that can shoot objects into space orbit. Even so, it can't help the shimmering protection of Huiyu and the heavy armor of the Knights."

"Why haven't I heard the name of the Gray Eagle Knights?" Ian looked away from the line of defense where the demons marched, and looked at the Marquis of Barton with some doubts: "Such a strong knights should be one of the top ten knights." One?"

"The Gray Eagle Knights participated in the Dark Moon Rebellion, and then followed the other princes and became enemies of His Majesty."

The old man said lightly: "So they were wiped out by me. My dark wound was left by Huiyu. He broke my heart light body and destroyed the etheric body that I wanted to condense, but I was still superior. "

It turned out to be reminiscing about the glory days of the past.Ian nodded slightly, he knew exactly what the old man meant: "Then how did you destroy the Gray Eagle Knights?"

"I led a surprise attack and killed Hui Yu."

The Marquis of Barton looked at Ian closely: "This is the first priority of the sublimator war: to kill the enemy's most powerful person."

"It's not just us who think so. The enemy also thinks so. Ian, you have to hide well. Wait for the soldiers on the front line to fight for you. When the death knell is forced to take action, we can seize the opportunity."

The words of the Marquis of Barton are ruthless, but this is the normal state of war in the Terra world: ordinary soldiers stick to their positions and force the enemy's elite troops to join. opportunity.

All positions, fortresses, artillery and soldiers are weapons for the sublimated.

"Do not."

Ian shook his head. He stared at the black and red fire clouds in the distance, his eyes burning: "Not only will I not hide, I will also arrive at the front line in person later."

"Marquis Barton, do you still remember my prophecy?"

"Your prophecy?" the Marquis of Barton said slowly, he hesitated: "You mean... the holy fire descended from the sky, to eliminate demons... that prophecy?"

"Not only that. There is also what I said before, 'We will encounter suffering'." Ian said calmly: "So just wait and watch how I act."

"How to fulfill my prophecy."
