Chapter 1394 Midsummer is coming
A vulgar words from the Air Force's supreme commander rang in the command center, and finally woke up the commanders and technicians who were passing by san-hek because of witnessing the impact. Rebecca stared at the projection and looked at the things presented on the projection. Even her solid nervous system felt a little confused at this time: "This thing... seems to be slowly crawling towards the direction of the deep blue well?"
"It's hard to say whether this is crawling or...growing..." Jinna Prince's face looked very bad. At this moment, she even felt that her supper last week was churning in her stomach, "But one thing is certain that this thing is attacking the Deep Blue Well..."
While speaking, the picture presented by the holographic projection continued to play. The high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft obviously focused all its attention on the behemoth on the surface. The picture became clearer after several zooming and focusing. Everyone in the hall could even see the undulating ripples of the skin between the flesh and blood creeping on the ground, as well as the dark red light flowing between the roots and vines. Outside the picture, the reconnaissance aircraft pilot's slightly trembling voice came: "...visually... cannot judge the specific scale, it is very amazing... There are countless energy reactions on the surface and inside, and the reading of the sensor has exploded...it is heading towards the deep blue well..."
At this moment, the driver's voice was suddenly interrupted by a sharp alarm. The next second, Jinna and Rebecca saw the "back" of the creeping creature on the picture suddenly changed. Some of the mimicry-forming structures turned to both sides in an instant. The dense jungle turned into countless wildly twisted tentacles in the blink of an eye. Then a hole was cracked at the top of each tentacle, revealing pale and terrifying eyeballs inside. Hundreds of pale eyeballs stared at the direction of the reconnaissance aircraft. In the crack in the center of the "eye jungle", countless lights gathered into a powerful flash in the blink of an eye. This was the last image left by the recording equipment before it was damaged.
White light filled the picture, and a harsh alarm sounded suddenly and disappeared quickly. Before the image completely disappeared, Rebecca noticed that several smaller fire balls flashed by the edge of the picture, which were the other three reconnaissance aircraft hit by the beam.
"...It was indeed shot down by that thing," Jinna Prince's extremely serious and low voice sounded beside him, awakening Rebecca, who was stunned. "It can capture high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft flying in the turbulent layer, and can directly shoot down such a high vehicle with powerful shelling. Both the accuracy and range are amazing..."
"Judging from the burn marks left after the reconnaissance plane was 'bruised' and the final readings recorded by the on-board equipment, the power of this 'anti-air gun' can destroy any type of dragoon, and even the dragon may not be able to withstand two shots," a technical officer said in a low voice after a brief analysis. "Probably only large air fortresses like Dawn and Gorgon can block that kind of attack with shields... But it is hard to say how long it can be withstood. Moreover, we don't know how many such 'giant cannons' are in the 'that thing'. It has no obvious weapon structure on the surface. The biological cannon used for attack seems to have temporarily grown directly in the body..."
"Immediately upload all the information to the Supreme Command," said Jinna Prince quickly. "Including the large neural node we found and the disappearance of the dark priests on the front line, I have a premonition... Our enemies are probably planning an amazing action..."
...
The information from the front line was soon sent to the Supreme Commanders of the Alliance. In the study of the Palace of Cecil, Gao Wen was sitting on the backrest chair of his beloved. Two holographic projections were floating in front of him at the same time. The figures of Rosetta Augustus and Belsetia Morningstar appeared opposite the desk, the most important commanders of the League, the League, were now with an extremely serious expression.
"You should have seen the scenes taken by our investigators on the front line," Gao Wen took the lead in breaking the silence. "At the same time, we also confirmed that some huge...change is happening within the Death Society. On all battlefields, the figure of the Dark Priest disappeared, replaced by the neural nodes that imitate the 'synthetic brain'. Our enemies are using that neural node to maintain control over the wasteland legion. As for where the disappearing Dark Priest went... no one knows."
"The Millennium Legion that broke into the heart of the wasteland also confirmed this phenomenon," Belsetia nodded, "and we also found that the dark priests basically disappeared at the same time, as if they had suddenly received some order, and they retreated from the front line battlefield overnight, leaving only those disgusting... neural nodes to take charge of the command."
Rosetta Augustus looked at Gao Wen's eyes through holographic projection: "You should have more information there."
"Indeed, you can take a look at this first." Gao Wen was silent for a moment, and then activated another image. The "live scene" was not recorded in real time, but was obviously a scene reproduced with magic such as illusion. On the picture, you can see a misty shield covering the earth, and outside the shield, there are distortions that flow like a tide. Various magic flashes crisscross the battlefield, explosions and smoke filled the entire picture. In the distance of this picture, there is a shadow rising from the earth.
At first, Rosetta and Belsetia thought that the shadow was a mountain range at the end of the horizon and the "background scenery" in the picture, but soon they realized that it was the "creature" photographed by the high-altitude reconnaissance plane before.
It was a stunning scene recorded on the surface, at a closer distance, from a frontal perspective. Rosetta distinguished the tentacles and "woods" dancing towards the sky, and the distorted invisible limbs that continued to spread along the earth. Then, he saw something bulging on the back of the creature, and some amazing energy bomb was fired from it. The terrifying explosion stirred up a storm-like surge on the shield. Under the explosion, a tide of monsters rushed over.
"This is..." Belsetia was obviously shocked by the scene. She stared at her eyes, "Can it be..."
"This is a picture I just captured not long ago at the front line of the Deep Blue Well," Gao Wen explained. "We and Deep Blue Well cannot directly transmit data, so please rest assured that this picture is reproduced by Veronica through magic. The restore degree is more than 90%. The impact of that monster actually brings to people will only be stronger than that on the picture."
The Iron Man Corps in Veronica's hand did not have real air units, so she could not detect the amazing flesh-and-blooded structure from the air, but the scene she took on the surface was enough to fill in the details that the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft could not take from another perspective. In front of this amazing creature, even the Silver Queen Belsetia fell into a brief shock and silence. It was not until a few seconds later that she spoke again: "So Ms. Veronica mentioned that there was a large-scale thing near the Deep Blue Well, referring to this..."
"Yes, at that time we all thought that everything would eventually die and build a frontline fortress. No one expected that they would 'create' such a thing," Gao Wen said slowly, "and I would like to add that the dark priests on the battlefield near the Deep Blue Well also disappeared not long ago. At present, the distortions on the entire battlefield over there are directly commanded by this huge 'creature'."
"The dark priests near the Deep Blue Well..." Rosetta frowned, and suddenly thought of something, "You mean, those dark priests are probably the 'creature'..."
"All things will eventually die and create something similar," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "The two branches of the sects inside and outside the wasteland are technically consistent. Although there is no direct evidence yet, this 'creature' is mostly the real 'going' of the disappearing dark priests. It is just that it is unknown whether this is the plan of the Grand Priest Bolken or the plan of the Sentinel. Of course, compared to this detail, what we really have to face now... is how to destroy this creature."
"It seems that this is the 'ultimate goal' of this war," Belsetia frowned, with a deep tone. "But this thing is obviously beyond the scope that ordinary troops can fight against. Our soldiers are brave, but how can they destroy a living and counterattacking 'mountain'? We don't even know if this thing has the 'pivot' in the ordinary biological sense..."
"We have destroyed something equally powerful, although that thing is a little smaller," Rosetta said slowly. "If needed, Tifon can still make the creation of the Annihilation."
"Maybe not possible to use this step, we have the 'Dawn of the World' this time," Gao Wen shook his head. "The 'supercritical accelerator' equipped on the World' can cause huge damage to such physical targets, but the premise is that there is a launch window. This thing once used some kind of weapon with extremely long range and powerful weapons to destroy the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft flying in the magic turbulence layer. In addition, its actual performance of attacking the Deep Blue Well, if the Deep Blue Well wants to attack this thing... it must first enter its attack range. The defense of the Aerospace Fortress is very strong, but I am afraid it is not as good as the ancient shield system of the Deep Blue Well."
"...We need to discuss an effective offensive plan," Rosetta took a breath. "Now that the alliance's legions have advanced to the heartland of the wasteland. It won't take long to get in front of the enemy's real main force, and at the same time we have to face that terrible...'biota'. We need to call up the senior commanders of the alliance's lines to let them know what they are facing. This will be a huge joint operation."
Gao Wen and Belsetia nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, Belsetia seemed to suddenly think of something: "Does this... 'biology' have to have a name?"
"I call it a creeping disaster, a creeping disaster on the earth," Gao Wen said slowly, "the biggest natural and man-made disaster we have faced so far."
Rosetta nodded slightly: "...a good name, hopefully this name will appear in the Victory Monument in the Center of Wasteland and our history textbooks in the future."
After a while, the figures of Emperor Tifeng and the Silver Queen gradually disappeared on the holographic projection. The study room became quiet again, leaving only Gao Wen, who was quietly sitting behind the desk, but soon, layers of ripples appeared in the air near the desk, and a petite figure jumped out of the rippling light and shadow, and jumped to Gao Wen's side in a few seconds.
"Amber, go and arrange it," Gao Wentou said without raising his head. A word almost made Amber, who had just jumped out of the shadow step, fall back, "I'm going to the front line of the army."
"What!? Where are you going?" Amber's eyes widened, and the whole goose became energetic. "League front line? You're right, I just knew what the situation was in that place! Even the imperial commander personally won't be like this!"
"I'm not kidding," Gao Wen raised his head and looked into Amber's eyes. "This is not just a battle of imperial commanders. There is no capital to lose in the whole world. If you lose, there is no difference between staying in the imperial capital and dying on the front line."
"Then this is too risky," Amber seemed to want to persuade him a few more words, "And it's not that there's no difference. If this battle is lost, the imperial capital may be able to survive for a few days longer than the wasteland frontline..."
Before he finished speaking, the shadow assault goose covered his mouth and muttered in ambiguously: "Okay, okay, I can't speak, I won't say..."
Gao Wen just heard the guy's previous words and wanted to take out an eggplant to pat her on the wall to perform her long-lost traditional skills. At this time, he lost his temper and could only wave his hand helplessly: "Go and arrange it, I have a reason to come to the front line in person."
"...Okay, then I'll make arrangements," Amber sighed helplessly, and his figure slowly faded in the air while muttering, "Oh, I don't know how to face Ms. Hedy's muttering... She will definitely annoy me so much, so I'll go to the front line with you..."
Listening to the miscellaneous thoughts left by Amber, Gao Wen just shook his head and smiled helplessly, then slowly got up and came to the wide floor-to-ceiling window.
His gaze passed through the crystal glass and saw that the plants in the courtyard were growing lushly, green leaves and blooming flowers were shrouded in the brilliance brought by the huge sun. Under the bright sky, it seemed that the whole world was about to bloom in the upcoming midsummer.
This day is the 25th day of the 4th year of Cecil. Summer has arrived. Even in the northern country, the lush vitality has covered the entire land.
"How can the vitality of this world come to an abrupt end in such a lush and brilliant season..."
...
"How can the vitality of this world come to an abrupt end in such a lush and brilliant season..."
The grand scene of summer is reflected in Veronica's pupils. She stood in front of the balcony on the uppermost floor of the Holy Light Monastery, and the scenery of several blocks is in full view, with a faint holy light lingering beside her.
But in her other eye, another scene thousands of miles away was reflected, and the alien monsters were rushing towards her. The flames burned everything on the earth. At the end of the horizon, the giant flesh-and-blooded structure like a mountain raised its countless mutated limbs, approaching step by step like a natural disaster crawling on the earth.
Under the dying sky light, the large shield above the deep blue well was shaking.
A ball of black and red energy bomb rose from above the flesh-and-blooded giant structure in the distance and fell fiercely over the large shield.
The large shield, which had been supported for half a month, finally made an overwhelming whistling sound under this blow. Amid the rapid collapse of the energy channel, an astonishing shock wave spread out from all directions with the deep blue well as the center. Everything on the ground was almost flattened, and the distortions that rushed like tides were also wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Then, they begin to rebirth in the nearby air.
Before the Great Shield collapsed, the remaining soldiers of the Iron Man Corps fighting on the nearby surface had already retreated to the near-the-Blue Well explosion pit through the underground passage.
“…The outer barrier was broken down, all shield groups were destroyed, there was no redundant system available, the defense system could not be restarted, and all the alert towers in the outer area were offline…
"The damage rate of the Iron Man Corps is 42%, warning that the core reserves of the mind are insufficient...
"Give up the outer defense circle, all energy supply is transferred to the crystallization peak... The Iron Man Corps is being redeployed and the inner warning tower is being activated.
"The Norton Royal Family finally ordered the Deep Blue Well to be defended."
