The Sword of Dawn Chapter 653: The Body of a False God
The plain was filled with the smell of scorched earth after the burning flames, and the dry hot wind from the eastern region swept up sand and dust and slapped the track guards of the tanks. The setting sun was crushing on the blackened ground of the Holy Spirit Plain.
Company Commander Senior was in the command vehicle, observing the situation in the distance through a periscope.
This is a reconnaissance team - a reconnaissance team with high firepower and excellent survivability, it has nine Warhammer main tanks and three steel ambassador tanks, and dozens of experienced, loyal and brave soldiers, under normal circumstances , such a team is enough to defeat ten times or even dozens of times the number of old-fashioned aristocratic armies, and to break through a fortress populated by extraordinary people below the middle level. In terms of "reconnaissance team", it can be said that it is a bit too strong, but In this war zone scorched earth, Senior still needs to be very careful.
Because the plains are full of wandering cluster giants, and he and his company have entered an area that has not been "purified".
Around Solimburg, this is the area where the giants of the crystal cluster are the most ravaged, and the trauma to the land and towns is naturally more tragic. Along the way, Senior saw countless collapsed and ruined city walls and abandoned farms, built by rich people. Gorgeous houses were torn to rubble, once precious fields were trampled and devastated - when they were still sane, the dwarf giants had at least a trace of order, but since they fell into madness, they began to destroy everything in their path. Things, where they've gathered, basically nothing will survive.
The vibration generated by the running of the chariot engine came from under the body, and this heavy and sturdy steel machine brought a sufficient sense of security to Senior - a few months ago, he was only a newcomer to magic equipment. The junior mechanic was sent to the northern battlefield after a short period of assault training. It was the pressure of the battlefield and the actual combat experience that made him really skilled, and even became the commander of the company-for the entire group, it was newly formed. , For the chariot units that have been trained urgently, there are not a few commanders like him who have grown rapidly on the battlefield and have been promoted quickly.
Senior removed his eyes from the periscope, gave his position to the observer, and went to the car communication station himself: "Be careful, we are getting close."
For middle and lower-level command nodes and common chariots, the vehicle communication station is a simplified magic net terminal - the projection crystal is removed to reduce the cost, and it can only transmit sound signals in a limited range, which can be regarded as the most basic. , but even such a simplified device is still valuable on the battlefield.
The chariots responded, and the reconnaissance troop consisting of twelve chariots slightly reduced their speed, and the three steel ambassadors adjusted their positions forward to ensure that the emergency shield extender could cover the entire convoy in time,
And Senior pushed aside the armor plate diagonally above, stuck out half of his head, and directly observed the situation on the plain.
This behavior may seem dangerous, but Senior's experience tells him that it is not a problem: the protection of the "Warhammer-i" mainly relies on the shield system. This shield is stronger than steel, and the chariot's Armor is only an "alternative" for limited protection after the shield fails, sticking your head out of the hull is a viable option in situations where visual observation is required - if attacked, the shield can protect himself, and if the attack strength reaches the level that it can penetrate the shield in an instant, then hiding behind the armor plate is of little significance.
In front of the field of vision, the white radiance with a vague sense of holiness is clearly visible. Even without any equipment, you can clearly see all kinds of strange halos in the air. The hidden madness has also become stronger than before, even strong enough to make ordinary people faintly tremble.
Senior didn't know what he was facing. After all, he was just carrying out orders, but the incredible power contained in the radiance was enough for anyone to be vigilant, enough to make him realize that he was facing the transcendent realm. The most dangerous part of the "secret".
Fortunately, in this era, even ordinary people have ways to deal with the extraordinary realm.
He retracted his head, calmed the turbulent emotions, turned his head and ordered: "Turn on the mental protection system!"
"Yes, all cars turn on their mental protection!"
Accompanied by a slight sound of magic power running, around the seats inside the chariot, on the surface of the periscope and each observation window, some wonderful runes that were not visible light up as they are charged. Those runes are twisted and twisted, and they do not belong to any kind of rune system known to mankind. In fact, the various systems of the chariot cannot control the operation of these runes at all. The runes are charged to make them glow and appear, but this "appearance" has an incredible effect.
With the mysterious light blue lines appearing everywhere in the car, Senior quickly felt his mood calm down, and the faint sound of the waves came softly, with sobering, inspiring and high-spirited power, making him His previous restlessness and vague fear all disappeared, not only that, he even felt a little happy...
This is the mental protection system. It is a new equipment installed on the chariot by the magicians not long ago. Senior does not know the principle of this system, but he has vaguely heard about this device and the rear A "technical cooperation project" is related, and its role is to protect the minds of soldiers in the face of spiritual attacks in the supernatural realm, and now it seems that it is really effective.
It's just that this device also has its limits - once the operation time is too long, the soothing power released by the spiritual protection system will become another kind of mental pollution, and the user will inevitably fall into a state of excitement and pleasure, and even suffer from "Being called by the sea" and making irrational behaviors, the technical personnel in the rear are currently trying to eliminate or reduce the negative impact in this regard, but it seems that the problem has not been solved for the time being.
"Pay attention to the timer of the protection system," Senior reminded his subordinates, and then ordered the team to move on, "closer to the light."
Under the protection of the mental protection system, Senior's reconnaissance team continued to move forward, and the hazy light became clearer and clearer, and the source of the light also emerged faintly.
After climbing over a crumbling wall, Senior saw it.
The monster that is both sacred and terrifying, pure and profane.
The giant deer shrouded in white brilliance is a man-made god that continues to disintegrate and reorganize its flesh.
"Ancestor..." A soldier looked in amazement at the giant deer standing quietly in the ruins through the front observation window, his voice trembling unconsciously, "What is that?"
"There's no doubt that it's a monster," Senior said calmly as he was equally astonished. "The rest of the teams are in groups of four and approach each other."
The team immediately arranged according to the plan, with three "Warhammer-i" and one "Steel Ambassador" as a group. After dispersing, they cautiously approached the giant deer in the distance. Approaching these uninvited guests.
But Senior kept the superior's order in mind, and when the convoy was still a long way from the halo around the Julu, he ordered the entire team to stop and stopped a few hundred meters away from the Julu.
The giant deer still stood motionless, maintaining a posture of looking into the distance like a soulless body. The extraordinary brilliance shrouded its body, in sharp contrast to the hideous scars and deformities on the body. It seems like a scene of impression paintings standing between heaven and earth, extremely strange, but extremely contradictory beauty.
"I can't get closer, it's too weird, this thing is not right," Senior frowned, "Activate the photo crystal outside, leave some video data, and the car crews back..."
The chariot's engine was activated, the tracks turned, and the heavy car body began to slowly retreat. Senior watched the giant deer vigilantly. Suddenly, he saw that the giant deer's originally motionless eyes turned slightly.
Maybe some kind of sleep phase just ended, or maybe the chariots finally caught the monster's attention and it moved.
With the sound of the engine of one of the chariots, Julu slowly lowered his head, his crystal eyes staring at the chariot that was slowly retreating, his eyes brewing extreme madness in calm.
Senior reacted almost instantly, roaring loudly while tapping the button of the communicator: "Accelerate! Retreat!!"
The engine of the chariot changed from a low noise to a roar in an instant, and all the chariots suddenly began to turn and accelerate, and at this moment, the eyes of the Julu suddenly became blood red, and there was a sound that seemed to be mixed with countless roars and murmurs. Roaring frantically, a dazzling light group condensed between the giant deer's horns like light cast, the light group jumped, surrounded by countless lightnings, turned into a long spear, and shot straight at one of the chariot squads .
The steel ambassador instantly activated the shield booster on the vehicle, a layer of translucent energy barrier enveloped the entire team at the critical moment, and the energy spear also hit almost at the same time - a sour shriek In the sound, the shield and the spear were annihilated together, and the magic crystal fixed above the steel ambassador's chariot was also shattered—
Immediately afterwards, the second energy spear quickly condensed, and before everyone could react, it swept over the heavily damaged steel ambassador, accompanied by a series of deafening explosions, and the latter instantly vanished into ashes.
All the chariots turned, accelerated, and galloped away at the fastest speed, and the Julu issued a second frantic roar. In the roar that was enough to break the mind, it stepped forward and moved towards the direction of the reconnaissance team's withdrawal. rush away.
Just at this moment, another chariot suddenly fell behind. Its shield flashed violently, as if it was being attacked by invisible magic. After a short struggle, its shield was completely extinguished, and a large number of blooming flowers and emerald green were dripping. Its vines grew wildly from its steel crevices, wrapping the entire chariot into a living tomb in seconds, terrifying to watch.
"Boom!" "Boom!!"
The continuous explosions sounded one after another, and the chariots turned their turrets one after another, and fired at the terrifying monster while traveling. At such a close distance, based on the latter's relatively large size, almost all the shells hit the target.
The holy brilliance around Julu surged violently, half of the shells were detonated in advance before hitting the target, and the remaining shells hit Julu's ferocious and mutated flesh and blood. The already scarred body was bombarded several times as if it would shatter at any time, but the monster just stumbled a few times, then let out a roar, and continued to catch up! !
The shelling only left some small scars on its seemingly fragile and broken body, and it repaired itself in a matter of seconds!
"We may have totally pissed it off..." shouted one soldier. "It looks very, very, very angry!!"
"He didn't intend to get along with us when he wasn't angry—but you're right, we irritated him!" Senior responded loudly, "Spread the line and prepare to throw mine—"
At this moment, the terrifying giant deer suddenly let out a different scream from before, and then stopped without warning. All kinds of terrifying changes have also taken place: the rolled and broken flesh sometimes merges and sometimes separates, the brilliance around it is sometimes strong, sometimes dim, its crystal eyes sometimes become blood red, sometimes it becomes dazzling—
It appears to be in a state of extreme instability, staying put for a short time.
Senior didn't know what was going on, but he knew one thing - there was life.
The entire reconnaissance team quickly adjusted its direction and quickly evacuated towards the distance.
...
Saint Sunil, Gawain was interrupted by an urgent communication, he hurried to the study, and saw Maryland's serious face emerging on the holographic projection.
"My lord, it has appeared," said the former general of the Rock Fortress, now the commander of the Iron Throne, in a deep voice, "a monster that looks like a deer—but as huge as a castle."
