Release that Witch - Chapter 1180

[Chapter 1153 The Real Monster]

The next day, Tower Nine site.

The joint front officers and decision makers who had been busy for more than a week in Neverwinter finally returned to the frontline command post.

But now it can no longer be regarded as a real front line.

Agatha noticed that on the map marked with the defensive circle, the railway front line had almost approached within 15 kilometers from the Taquila ruins, and a five-kilometer radius was divided into a green “safety zone.”

However, the area nearly three kilometers in front of the ruins was bright red, which was obviously the most striking change in a week.

“You are finally back,” and gave a standard military salute to everyone.

Others in the army and the staff department also stood up one after another, saluting with joy on their faces, probably seeing the return of the backbone, and everyone’s eyes showed a look of relief.

This relief also made Agatha slightly relieved, and her colleagues could still laugh, which at least meant that the sudden addition of the “dangerous area” did not threaten the entire Torch Project.

“Good job, it seems that everyone has not been idle these days.” Iron Ax nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the map and tapped on the map, “Filin, come and report the situation, did the devil get reinforcements?” ?”

“No, my lord.” Dawn Chenguang replied, “That’s a ditch dug by the enemy.”

“ditch?”

“Miss Sylvie was the first to discover the movement of the other party. Some demons crawled out of the red mist corruption and started digging six days ago. Miss Lightning confirmed the situation and noticed that there were demons active in the ditch , so it is marked as a danger zone.”

Iron Axe, Edith, and Agatha looked at each other, “Trenches?”

“We also think so, because according to Lightning’s hand-drawn drawings, although it looks extremely simple at first glance, its general layout is very similar to the trenches in front of the First Army’s position. The distance between the front and rear horizontal trenches varies from ten to tens of meters. And there are multiple vertical grooves connected.” Filmin spread out a rather sloppy drawing in front of everyone, “The biggest difference from us is that the devil has more vertical grooves for gradual retreat, and basically On a line, the deviation is no more than two meters, so that the whole looks more regular.”

“They are learning from humans.” Agatha couldn’t help whispering.

If the rumors before the first battle of divine will are taken as facts, it means that after nearly a thousand years, the devil has once again imitated human beings.

“It’s interesting,” Edith said after pondering over the sketch, “Those longitudinal grooves may not be used for retreat, but for attack.”

“Well,” Iron Ax agreed, “hiding in ditches can indeed reduce the chance of being hit by shrapnel, but they don’t have any weapons that can fight against the fortress artillery, and even a few ditches can’t change the situation. Only one army position can hope to win.”

“That’s why they built the longitudinal ditches so close together?” Ferlin quickly realized, “If they are all next to each other, it can indeed shorten the traveling time a lot.”

“Then what should we do?” Agatha asked.

“There is no need to change anything.” Beidi Pearl sneered twice, “Just let the Heihe fire when they are dug into the range of the artillery. Although it is a bit wasteful, His Majesty has prepared enough ammunition for this decisive battle… I would like to see it.” Let’s see if they can stand up to the gunfire and dig trenches in front of us.”

Iron Ax looked at Ferlin, “Is the construction of the railway going smoothly?”

“The enemy’s counterattack is quite intensive, but the damage caused is not great.” The latter reported, “It is almost impossible for the madmen to approach the position, so they seldom dispatch ground troops. Horror beasts are the main ones. However, judging from the number of ten to fifteen ones dispatched at a time, it is estimated that there are not many horror beasts that can fly in Taquila. If it is not for the cover of high-level devils, we can definitely keep more Lots of monsters.”

“The Demon Slayer is out again?” Agatha frowned.

“More than once.” Ferlin nodded, “and every time it attracts the firepower of the anti-aircraft machine gun team, and the horror beasts follow up to attack.” When he said this, his expression was a little dignified, “only every time I see it Only then did I feel… that I was fighting a real monster.”

“How?” Edith asked curiously.

“It often inserts into the air above the position from the weakest position of defense. After landing, it can instantly make the people watching it lose their minds for a few seconds. This is only when the soldiers wear God’s Stone of Retaliation.” Ferlin said slowly, “If there is no Divine stone protection—for example, those workers who hide in the bunker but cannot control their curiosity will fall into extreme panic. The closer to it, the more severely affected it will be, and those waiting in the clouds Horror beasts will take advantage of this gap to launch a surprise attack. Although Sylvie will inform the front line in advance every time they fight, it is still not an easy task to intercept the target swooping down from the top of the head, not to mention that one or two hits are not enough. Give it fatal damage. Our best result so far is breaking one of the enemy’s arms after it lands.”

“It seems that the other party also had unlucky times,” Beidi Pearl smiled.

“The problem is, when it reappeared a few days later, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com’s broken arm was back to normal, as if it hadn’t been hit at all.” Feilin’s smile was slightly bitter, ” If it’s just like this, it’s fine, we have Ms. Nana, they may also have some kind of special treatment method, but…”

“Just what?” Iron Ax asked in a deep voice.

“Several squads of soldiers reported to the staff that they felt that the Demon Slayer’s movements were becoming more and more difficult to capture, as if they were gradually adapting to this level of combat. In the past, a machine gun could block its course of action. Forcing it to change direction, but now it takes the cooperation of two or three teams to do it. Without these weapons and God’s Stone of Retaliation invented by His Majesty, I guess… it might be able to kill us all by itself .”

“In the era of the Federation, they really did this.” Agatha gritted her teeth, “And as long as they don’t die, they will be able to be used in the next battle.”

“As long as… don’t die?”

“High-level devils have evolved from constant battles. The more injured they are, the stronger they will be when they make a comeback—both in terms of magic power and combat skills. Many extraordinary people died because of them. Hands, not only failed to cross that level, but made them go one step further.” The Ice Witch closed her eyes, “But not every devil can survive a serious injury, and it is only possible to recover in such a short period of time. It is its own ability!”

“You mean…a high-level devil with both curse and self-healing abilities?” Iron Ax’s expression became serious.

“Probably so.” When Agatha opened her eyes again, only determination remained in her icy pupils, “Ferlin is right, this is a real monster, if it evacuates safely, I am afraid it will be destroyed in the future.” It has brought us unimaginable trouble. It must be here—in this place where the Holy City fell, and it must be completely destroyed!”
