In the southwest of Haiya Province, under the silent ruins of the city, ugly heads are shaking.
Under the dark night, bare-chested mutants were pushing carts filled with cement fragments and other construction waste, humming and humming towards the construction site.
On the construction site, there were more mutant coolies and short goblins, working hard under the urging of the whip in the hand of the overseer.
They relied on simple engineering equipment to pack the garbage into woven bags, and then piled it with crooked steel bars to build an unreliable but barely adequate bunker.
This ruins covered with reinforced concrete is one of the few places where the Kingdom of Heaven cannot care.
After all, no matter how pervasive the hyphae of Naguo are, they cannot grow on concrete.
not only that.
The Torch's most important research institution is nearby, and many of its researchers are living people.
The church's attitude and treatment are obviously different for those who are worthy and those who are worthless.
However, these situations have changed recently.
As the war situation on the front lines continues to worsen, the church has become increasingly unable to take care of the feelings of those in the facility.
Those who were originally engaged in research work in Vault 20 still have the opportunity to go outside for outdoor exercise every day.
But since the mutants evacuated to this area, their opportunities to go out have become less and less.
The mutant tribe stationed here is the Yandong clan that was once active on Shifeng Mountain. Its leader is named Boruto Yandong, and he has about five thousand followers.
After the Beast King was defeated, it retreated to this area with its men to recuperate under the orders of the new king.
The Torch Church provided them with sufficient food, supplies, and human sacrifices for breeding, but they had to build their own positions.
Fortunately, this is not difficult for them. Mutants are naturally good at imitating and have the "power of thinking" to turn decay into magic.
They just took a look at the coalition's position from a distance and were able to imitate similar ones, and even improve them according to their own needs.
For example, the fortress they are building is like a monster made of rubbish. Not only does the above-ground part have crisscrossed bunkers and turrets, but underground is also made up of tunnels of varying depths adjacent to each other.
But even so, their current situation cannot be called optimistic.
Now that the Alliance army has landed on the coastline, those human beings will hit here sooner or later. There is not much time left for them. They must build above-ground and underground bunkers before the battle begins.
At the edge of the position, several goblins were squatting under a dilapidated concrete building.
One of the goblins thwarted the branches in his hands and tried to make a fire with the fallen leaves and branches to roast the mice they had just caught and killed.
However, just as the pile of fallen leaves was about to burst into smoke, a broad slap suddenly hit the back of its head, sending its entire body flying away.
The goblin screamed with unspeakable grievance and fear.
"The apostle said, you can't light a fire! The alliance is in the sky, they can see the light on the ground!" The mutant captain said angrily, and walked up to teach the goblin a profound lesson, when a stick stretched out from the side
A hand held his shoulder.
"I made them make the fire."
The commander looked sideways and saw that the person holding its shoulders was a mechanized warrior.
The man's body was muscular, and his head was half green skin and half silver-gray metal.
In the Yandong clan, the mutants who can be called warriors are all ruthless characters with strong individual strength, and their status is not inferior to that of centurions or even thousand-centurions.
The captain narrowed his eyes, but was not afraid of him. He just spoke in a warning tone.
"You want to disobey the patriarch's order?"
The warrior stared back at him without evading, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth one by one.
"...Why should we listen to them? They are human beings too!"
The captain roared lowly.
"They are different, they will help us!"
"Help us? You call this help us? We worked hard for them and believed that they could lead us to victory. As a result, we have been losing from Shifeng Mountain to here, and we haven't won a few times along the way! Now, we even want to go
Live a life of eating raw hair and drinking blood, eating raw things like wild beasts, and you can't even roast the meat!"
The warrior took a step forward, his nose almost touching its face, and continued to speak viciously.
"Why do we need to provoke so many human things at once? They had no time to pay attention to us before Torch caused such a big mess!"
The captain looked at it defiantly.
"Are you scared?"
Not irritated by the provocation, the warrior stared back.
"I'm not afraid of those human things, I just don't think it's necessary-"
Before it finished speaking, a dangerous omen suddenly came from above its head.
It only took a moment, so that he had no time to react, and the blast of air knocked him away, and he did not stop until he hit a damaged concrete wall.
There were only pieces of broken limbs left on the ground, and the captain who had just confronted him had disappeared.
It struggled to sit up, shook its head, and looked around blankly with frightened and stupefied eyes. It didn't know what had just happened, but it could only hear the sound of panic and screams on the battlefield.
But it soon became clear to him.
I saw a flash of fire in the air, followed by a whooshing sound that broke through the air and the sound of the explosion resounded throughout the position.
This time the explosion came from a position 100 meters away to his left, and the coolies who were carrying building materials were directly blown into the sky.
"Roar--!"
The mutant warrior buried in the rubble let out an unwilling roar, trying to dispel the fear in his chest, trying to scare away the threat from the sky, but found that it was useless.
The thunderous sound of cannons continued to sound.
However, what confused it was that the fire clearly did not rise. How did the Alliance people target them...
…
At the same time, thousands of meters above the ground, an "Overlord" transport plane with its side door open was hovering driven by four plasma plumes.
I saw a thick and long gun barrel extending outward from the open side hatch.
Three players wearing exoskeletons stood behind the artillery. One was busy aiming, another was loading the bomb, and the third was holding a telescope to see the impact point.
"Direct hit! Damn, this shot killed at least ten of them!"
"Hahaha! Damn it, it's so cool to move this 155mm onto the plane!"
"I'll come and play two games later -"
"Loading complete!"
"fire!!"
With a violent explosion, a thick beam of fire erupted from the side of the cabin, and the astonishing recoil pushed the huge fuselage slightly.
In less than a moment, the flames of the explosion quickly bloomed on the ground.
The fire and dust of the explosion engulfed dozens of mutants and the goblin imps beside them.
In fact, it is completely unnecessary for these guys to engage in "light control" on the battlefield.
Under the overlooking view of the thermal imaging sight, the luminous figures were as bright as LED lights.
Some smart guys began to lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead, while the unsmart guys crowded into a house.
"Burn the ground bomb! Hurry!"
[Brother Ice and Fire], with his eyes close to the sight, shouted to the loader behind him, and then turned the winch to aim the sight at a low concrete bunker.
At least thirty or forty mutants ran towards that place before, and a few blocked the door and didn't even squeeze in.
These guys obviously didn't realize how stupid their actions were.
After calculating the lead time, he pulled the match rope without hesitation, and the smoke from the explosion merged into the clouds outside the cabin again.
This shell directly hit the top of the bunker. The first-level warhead exploded first and broke the concrete bunker. Then the second-level warhead exploded immediately, shaking the whole building.
But at this moment, a surprising scene happened. The shell clearly had only two stages of warheads, but the building that was hit exploded for the third time.
And the power of this last explosion was not small. The crackling sound was like a firecracker, and the dazzling flames directly lifted the entire concrete building. The debris of the explosion even flew hundreds of meters into the sky.
Not only the greenskins hiding in the building and crowded at the door were blown to pieces, but even the greenskins and goblins who were forty or fifty meters away were blown down by the shock wave and shrapnel.
[Juewei Duckhead], who was holding the binoculars, widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Damn it...is this the ammunition depot?"
"Eighty percent yes," he gestured to the strength-type animal loading ammunition behind him. Brother Bing and Huozi replied casually while looking for the next target, "I'm afraid those guys squeezed in just now to get their guns..."
These guys are not ordinary upright."
The continuous casualties obviously angered the mutants on the ground. The anti-aircraft guns hidden in the ruins spurted out tongues of fire, and tracers floated into the night sky like catkins, trying to drive away the "Overlord" hovering over the battlefield.
Seeing the situation on the ground, the steamed bun man sitting in the cockpit pushed the valve to increase the engine output, and the plumes ejected by the four plasma engines began to become longer.
"Stand still!"
Hearing the voice coming from the communication channel, the three players standing by the side hatch sat back on their seats and fastened their seat belts firmly.
At the same time that the "Overlord" transport aircraft modified with a 155 mm cannon accelerated to evade, four P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft entered the battlefield from the south!
Each attack aircraft locked on two air defense positions, and then opened fire almost at the same time, pouring out 37mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs like raindrops on the ground!
"Porphyrin——!"
The mutants squatting on the air defense position only focused on firing at the gunboat flying in the sky. They didn't even have a chance to hear the roar of the cannon, and the bunker beside them was torn apart by the rain of fire falling from the sky.
Got fragments.
The entire position was filled with the smell of roasting meat. Countless mutants and goblins who had been knocked down by shrapnel lay wailing on the shattered position. Even the enemy was nowhere to be seen.
P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft quickly passed above the explosion dust.
"Well done!"
Seeing the mess on the ground, Brother Mantou smiled and shouted in the communication channel, then withdrew the switch that was almost pushed to the bottom, stepped on the rudder and drove the aircraft back to the predetermined attack track.
The 155mm gun attached to the rail was moved to the hatch door, stretched out and continued to fire.
The mutants, whose air defense force was completely paralyzed, had completely lost the means of resistance and began to retreat into the bunker, trying to endure this round of air attacks by shrinking the defense line.
However, they obviously did not realize that the Alliance's operation tonight did not intend to settle for just a few kills. Four "Overlords" loaded with Burning Corps paratroopers were already chasing the P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft.
Tails comes to the battlefield!
Seeing that the airborne troops were approaching, Brother Mantou glanced at the situation on the ground, then switched the communication channel and shouted.
"The enemy's air defense position has been paralyzed, and ground units are moving into bunkers!"
"Brothers of the Burning Legion, it's your turn!"
A brief rustle of electricity came from the communication channel, followed by a sonorous and powerful answer.
"receive!"
At the same time as the words fell, parachutes bloomed in the night sky, and soldiers wearing exoskeletons took advantage of the noisy evening wind to rush from the air to the battlefield.
At this moment, the mutants hiding in the bunker did not realize that a battalion of mechanized infantry had landed silently above them.
These warriors are the elite of the alliance!
Although they are not as professional as the Jungle Corps in killing mutants, their combat effectiveness is unquestionable!
They are always ready to use the flames burning in their chests to burn the evil that erodes order, and use the sharp blades in their hands to bring death to the enemies of the Alliance!
"Attention all units! This operation is codenamed 'Quicksand'! The goal is to eliminate all the enemy's active forces!"
"There is no retreat plan! Everyone fights to the last moment! Until the enemy or all of us fall!"
"Free Fire!"
The roar of high morale echoed in the communication channel, and the flames of excitement burned in the pupils under the helmet.
"yes!!"
The first to enter the concrete bunker was a platoon from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company. Thirty players wearing exoskeletons were divided into three by three teams. Like sharp daggers, they stabbed fiercely from nine different directions.
The mutant soldiers hiding in the bunker.
Obviously they did not expect to encounter the alliance's ground troops. These greenskins were startled and hurriedly took out their weapons to fight back, but they were still caught off guard.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the tunnel. Faced with the rain of bullets, mutants fell one after another. Within a few breaths, a pile of corpses lay at the door of the first line of defense of the bunker.
"Come forward! Block them!" The mutant who was sent to the front line to replace the dead commander shouted loudly, pushing the minions around him to rush forward.
Amidst the shouts and shouts, a hundred-man team that had finally assembled finally rushed to the front hall of the bunker with the guys and started a firefight with the Alliance soldiers who came in from the main entrance!
Dense rain of bullets shuttled in the narrow space, and the battle situation was extremely anxious!
With his shoulders tightly leaning against the bunker, Yin and Yang made a gesture to the brother next to him. The latter immediately pulled out a flare gun with understanding, loaded a flare and fired it forward.
The signal bomb hit the wall hard, and then there was no movement, as quiet as a stone.
However, the restless high-frequency radio waves have already transmitted the attack coordinates to the night sky!
"The artillery is in position! Pay attention to concealment!" Yinshao shouted, and then stopped firing first.
"receive!"
The players who responded also lowered their heads one after another, put their helmets against the bunker, activated the buffer plug-in, and were ready to deal with the shock wave.
Seeing that the firepower on the opposite side had died down, the mutant centurion who was commanding from the front suddenly looked happy.
Just when it thought its ferocious firepower had successfully suppressed the intruders, a deafening explosion came from above its head.
In a daze, it saw with its peripheral vision that a black shadow penetrated the concrete dome above its head, and then hit it not far behind it.
"boom!"
Rolling dust rises!
Before it could turn around to see clearly what happened, the flames of the second explosion pulled it out from behind the bunker and threw it to the ceiling!
"Ouch——!!"
In that unwilling roar, the first line of defense of the bunker was quickly breached, and the ground was covered with broken pieces of meat and green limbs.
"The first line of defense has been captured! We are assaulting the second line of defense!"
"Where are the casualties?"
"not yet!"
"Well done!"
Listening to the good news coming from two hundred meters away, Murderous Dagger, whose feet had just touched the ground, couldn't help but praise excitedly.
Intelligence shows that there are probably more than a thousand mutants stationed in this area.
If this momentum continues, maybe their battalion of more than 400 brothers will be able to directly kill the mutant's position and stab this feint bayonet directly into the heart of the Torch Church!
Thinking of this, he shouted excitedly in the communication channel.
"Continue the attack! Don't give the enemy any chance to breathe!"
Yin and Yang mistakenly responded excitedly.
"yes!"
The team that broke into the bunker continued to advance and fought with the mutants coming up from behind!
The bloody mincing finally begins from this moment!
The seemingly unstoppable progress that had been made by a combination of circumstances finally began to feel a little difficult.
Especially after the ground-penetrating bombs of the aerial gunships were used up, more mutant bosses, "warriors" and even "champions" came to the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield gradually became difficult.
After all, these mutants are somewhat different from the miscellaneous fish on Shifeng Mountain.
Beidao Heavy Industry during the Charas period designed more advanced infantry weapons for them.
This includes mutant-specific assault rifles designed to deal with polyethylene ballistic plates, as well as some portable anti-armor weapons, such as armor-piercing grenade launchers and rocket launchers.
These equipments made by human engineers take their physical strength advantages to the extreme!
not only that--
As more and more players invaded the bunker, the mutants who were stuck under the bunker finally realized that tonight's attack was far more than just an air raid!
The Alliance dispatched airborne troops!
They don't plan to just do one thing and leave, but they plan to completely occupy this place!
This battle will affect the survival of the Yandong clan!
"Stop them! At any cost!"
Borudo Flamedou roared in the depths of the bunker, threw away the half-eaten grilled man in his hand, and straightened up his four-meter-tall body covered in heavy armor.
The whole thing is as exaggerated as a monster.
Under the urging of its majestic roar, the greenskins fighting on the front line also cheered up and charged forward with roars of "waaagh!!!".
"Damn...why are these greenskins attacking more and more?!" A power player couldn't help but complain after he chopped off the head of an greenskin with an axe.
After wiping the blood on his helmet's visor, the machine gunner carrying the light machine gun cursed in a low voice.
"How many hell are there?! I'm almost out of bullets!"
Another player gasped.
"Our company...has killed at least a thousand! The mutants here are definitely more than a thousand-man team! There might be a ten-thousand-man team!"
"No... that's too exaggerated!"
The communication in the communication channel stopped, and Murderous Dagger felt his scalp numb.
"...the dog's day is square and long!"
Although he didn't know what happened to Guan Fang, he still cursed this piece of shit.
Quickly switching the communication channel, Murderous Dagger shouted loudly at the intercom.
"This is the first camp!"
"There are more mutants on the front line than we thought, and we need ammunition! Throw more over here!"
After a brief pause, an answer came from the communication channel.
"The supplies are on the way and are scheduled to arrive together with the Overlord gunship in ten minutes."
Hearing that the gunships of the Goblin Corps were killing again, Murderous Dagger's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he immediately switched back to the command channel and shouted to his teammates.
"Brothers, hold on! Our air support will be back online in ten minutes!"
"Ouch!"
When they heard that support would arrive in 10 minutes, everyone suddenly burst out with high-morale roars, so that the mutants on the opposite side were startled, and for a while they were confused about who was the mutant...
The boiling flames of war finally attracted the attention of the Torch underground facility.
Perhaps because he felt that the Yandong clan still had value, or perhaps because he considered the possible consequences if the alliance's airborne troops occupied this area, the commander of the Torch finally couldn't help but dispatch the guard troops stationed at the entrance to Vault 20.
——The Knights of the Holy Light.
It is different from the adjudication team that performs special operations missions.
The formations of the Knights of the Torch are somewhat similar to Task Force Alpha, and they are more capable on the frontal battlefield than the teams of the Tribunal.
A soldier wearing only a heavy exoskeleton or even power armor lined up in a neat line and moved along the winding and twisted bunker towards the mutant position to support them.
At this moment, Murderous Dagger didn't know that danger was already approaching him.
But I'm afraid it doesn't matter if you know it.
After all, the first battalion he belonged to was executing a feint attack. Even if it failed to fight all the way to the entrance of Shelter 20 to join the main attack force, it would be a pity.
At the same time that the battle in the abandoned city was heating up, the main force of the Burning Corps had already boarded the "Viper" transport aircraft and quietly deployed near the entrance of Vault 20.
It was a pre-war pharmaceutical company building.
The severely damaged exterior made it impossible to tell which company the building belonged to, but the main structure of the building was still intact.
Fixed cameras with torches are installed on nearby streets.
Not only that, but there are also drones patrolling the area, so the security is very tight!
Torch probably knew that the Alliance was equipped with a large number of thermal imaging equipment, so there were no patrols in the open, and most of the sentries were hidden in the dark.
However, they obviously did not expect that this heavily guarded fortress had collapsed from within.
The quiet streets were silent except for the hum of the drone's propellers.
At this moment, a drone quietly deviated from its original patrol route.
I saw it calmly crossing the window of an abandoned store, flying into the alley behind the store, and then landed lightly at the feet of a powered armor.
It flew very fast, seemed to be a little excited, and almost hit a rusty trash can nearby.
"……Help."
As Lao Bai stretched out his index finger and tapped the helmet twice, electronic sounds mixed with current noise entered his ears.
Listening to the pleading voice, Lao Bai replied concisely and concisely.
"We are here to help you, now take us in."
The drone slowly floated up and down, as if it was nodding.
"The surveillance has been hacked. Only the adjudication team of the tribunal is left in the building. There are 27 people in total... Please follow me and I will take you in."
Lao Bai looked back, raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and waved forward cleanly.
One hundred "Type Six" heavy exoskeletons and twenty "Xiaguang" power armors appeared quietly in the shadow of the ruins.
The murderous armor exuded a cold light in the night, as well as the black barrels.
Although there is only one company of troops standing here, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, they have experienced hundreds of battles and are confident that they will not lose to any of their own regiment-level combat troops.
It is precisely because of this that they are not worried at all that this might be a trap.
It doesn't matter even if it is.
Just flatten this place!
At this moment, the hunter who was stationed in the abandoned building with the adjudication team was unaware of the threat that was so close at hand. He did not even know that the surveillance and patrol drones outside had all been taken down by the insider in the shelter.
Already.
Tonight's evening party was so noisy that the wind made his neck feel slightly chilly.
He was still thinking about what the Holy Son had said to him earlier——
"The Kingdom of Heaven in Haiya Province is irretrievable, but this does not mean that we have lost...Does it mean that we have been abandoned?"
It is indeed difficult to understand that sentence to mean that they have other cards in hand. If they really did have them, they would not wait until the Alliance landed on the Death Coast before using them.
Thinking of this, the hunter had a bitter smile on his face.
Although he knew that the forerunners were planning to leave, he did not feel betrayed, but more helpless.
The legacy left behind by the Post-War Reconstruction Committee is too deep.
Facing the old forces' encirclement and suppression, they were left alone and had no chance of winning.
Perhaps the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven is indeed a bit rushed, and it would be better if we were more prepared.
For example, when the legions, colleges, and companies are fighting with each other, or when they are involved in other larger crises...
At this moment, footsteps came from behind him.
The hunter was suddenly startled and turned around, only to see a powered armor standing there.
It was a pre-war model, and it seemed to be called "Dragoon"!
But it doesn’t matter what he is called, this guy is obviously not one of our own!
Without any time to think about why this powered armor appeared here, he took off the Gauss rifle from his back without saying a word, turned on the safety and got ready for battle.
However, the man seemed not to see it, or didn't care if he saw it, and just took off an inconspicuous-looking axe.
That thing looks a bit like a fire axe.
The contempt from the other side made him feel a little humiliated.
However, the hunter was not angered by this, he just stared at the guy in front of him, carefully searching for flaws in the power armor.
"Is it the adjudication panel... I heard that the new recruits in the Corps suffered a lot from you."
Looking at the guy in front of him who was also wearing power armor and posing as if he was facing a powerful enemy, Lao Bai smiled heartily and said.
