Alien Knights

When Ackerman led his troops to the Yuanjin Hills, it had already become a Shura field filled with blood and fire.

The enemy army relied on the hilly areas and set up three layers of defense lines from low to high. Each layer of defense line built a large number of bunkers, trenches and tunnels.

The sounds of thousands of muskets firing simultaneously formed a deafening roar; the smoke from the muzzles gathered together, shrouding the entire battlefield in fog.

Turtle shotguns, snake cannons, eagle short-mouth cannons and even lion mortars were arranged behind each bunker, pouring a storm of steel towards the army down the mountain.

Two columns from the Dragon Kingdom Expeditionary Force had already broken through the first line of defense, but were blocked by the second line of defense.

Randall, who had just entered the battlefield, held up his shield, protected Ackerman behind him, and led his team into the bunker of the first line of defense.

As soon as they entered the bunker, everyone saw an orc commander wearing a dragon bone, guarded by hundreds of Crusaders soldiers, sitting down behind the earth and rocks, cursing loudly everything around him.

"You are the commander of the Eleventh Column..." Ackerman squatted next to the orc, looked at the latter's lower body, and couldn't help but take a breath.

There was no difference in the upper body covered by the keel, but the lower body of the orc from the knees to the feet was filled with iron fragments and debris splashed after the explosion.

The orc commander pounded the ground around him and yelled angrily: "Just half an hour ago, my troops were about to break into their second line of defense, if it weren't for those damn mines!"

Randall popped his head out of the trench and took a quick look outside. The bullets and shells flying in the air made him retract his head again.

"Did those lunatics in the Southern Empire sell the entire country's firearms to the church?!" Randall patted the dust falling on his body and shouted: "The intensity of firepower here is higher than what we encountered before. All the enemy forces that arrived are stronger together!"

Ackerman touched Randall's arm and motioned for him to look toward the sky.

The three Valkyries rode griffins and kept circling in the sky, seemingly looking for targets to drop bombs on.

Finally, a Valkyrie commanded the gryphon to swoop down towards a large bunker on the ground.

When it was still nearly a hundred meters above the ground, all the spores under the griffin were released, falling like raindrops towards the enemy's position.

A series of huge explosions shook the entire mountaintop by three thirds, and blazing white light filled the earth, dyeing everything in the world white.

When the explosion slowly disappeared, Ackerman, who was ringing in the ears and dizzy, crawled to the edge of the trench and asked, "How was it? Did you blow up the bunker?"

Randall observed carefully for a while, and finally shook his head in disappointment: "The spore air strike can use glare and impact to temporarily render the enemy positions incapable of combat, but unless it hits directly above the bunker, it will be difficult to explode these A solid stone fortress several meters thick.”

Ackerman waited for the smoke to dissipate and discovered that there were several huge potholes with a diameter of more than ten meters on the position. However, due to accuracy issues, only a small part of the bunker group was collapsed by the impact, but it did not suffer devastating damage. blow.

"The surface of the spore parasite is a layer of toughened biological leather. Except for a small amount of cartilage and texture, most of the body is an alveoli-like sac filled with an explosive liquid similar to nitroglycerin."

Yoonela's speech made Randall and Ackerman look at each other in confusion.

Ackerman opened his eyes wide and asked, "So what?"

Yoonella looked at the two remaining Valkyries still hovering in the sky and said: "The physiological characteristics of the spores determine that when they are thrown from high altitudes, they will appear larger due to the influence of wind and fluid. Large accuracy deviation. Therefore, spores are generally used to deal with enemies with higher density or less armor..."

Randall interrupted Yoonella: "The principles will be explained later. Just tell me directly, how to deal with the enemy's defense line in this situation?"

"There are three ways."

"The first way is that the alien warship that the Kingdom stays in the southern sea can use electromagnetic guns to blow up these bunkers..."

Ackerman couldn't wait to say: "Great, what are you waiting for? Contact them quickly!"

Yoonela rolled her eyes at him: "Range. Yuanjing Hills is far away from the coast and is beyond the range of the electromagnetic gun."

Ackerman looked annoyed and said, "If you can't do something, don't bring it up."

"Then let me talk about the second method. Valkyrie can improve the accuracy by lowering the height of the bomb, but..."

Before Ionella finished speaking, as if to confirm his words, the second Valkyrie in the air began to dive downwards, rushing straight towards the bunker of the second defense line.

The height was getting lower and lower, but the Valkyrie still didn't give the order to drop the bomb. As everyone watched in stunned silence, the gryphon fell to the ground like a meteor.

Ionella grabbed her hair: "After the attack just now, the enemy will definitely be prepared for the air. Therefore, dropping bombs at low altitude at this time...is tantamount to suicide."

When they were still fifty meters away from the ground, gunfire rang out again in the bunker, and countless bullets were shot into the air.

Along with the whine, the griffin, which had been shot several times, could no longer flap its wings. It stumbled and fell to the ground, feathers and blood splashing in the air.

The Valkyrie wearing a feather crown drew out her sword with one hand and caressed the mount beneath her with one hand. With a determined look on her face, she used all her strength to shout out an ancient oath.

The next second, she and her mount drew an arc in the sky and hit the bunker position of the defense line accurately. The earth-shattering explosion opened a huge gap in the enemy's second line of defense.

A burning feather quietly turned to ashes in the air, as if it was using this moment of fireworks to show everyone the final splendor of its owner.

Ackerman, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was furious and his blood was boiling.

He put an arrow on the bowstring and shouted at the soldiers beside him: "Because of incompetence and cowardice, our unfinished mission ultimately cost our sisters their lives! Is this what you want to see? ?Is this the oath you once made to God?"

Amid the loud roars of the Crusaders, Randall opened his entire keel, blocking the front like a big umbrella made of steel. He was the first to rush out of the trench with his body lowered.

Carroll patted Aldenan on the shoulder, followed Randall, and rushed out in a single step. Taking advantage of the smoke flying in the sky, he rushed towards the gap in the second line of defense.

Ionella lay prone in the trench and shouted to the soldiers charging ahead: "Follow the path of the war beasts! They can smell the location of the mines!"

Using the powerful power of the keel and the speed effect, Randall increased his running speed to the extreme.

In just tens of seconds, he led dozens of Dragon Bone Knights through the two-kilometer-long defense line and directly approached the trench of the second line of defense.

The sacrifice of the Valkyrie caused a brief chaos in the enemy army, but soon the charge launched by the knights caused the church army to react instantly.

The originally somewhat silent gunfire sounded again, and bullets and shells were like raindrops and hail, attacking the attackers.

Randall and the knights opened their keel shields with all their strength, and the crawling parasites quickly grew, extended, and entrenched themselves, quickly building a black wall in front of the enemy's defense line.

The lead bullets from the muskets hit the keel, making a crackling sound, but did not shake the shield at all.

While Randall used his dragon bone armor to resist the frontal impact, he shouted to his side: "Follow the war beast! Be careful of landmines!"

Dozens of giant wolves were lying on the ground on all fours, hiding behind the insect shield while sniffing hard at something on the ground with their noses.

Soon, the vanguard force composed of knights and war beasts successfully opened a safe route in the minefield of the defense line.

When the shield formation of Randall and the knights beside him advanced to only two hundred meters away from the enemy's second line of defense, the enemy's artillery began to prioritize them.

After the deafening sound of shelling, metal shells of different sizes flew at high speed from the bunker amid the firelight.

After the cannonball bounced once on the hard ground, it carried huge kinetic energy and hit directly on the keels of the knights.

In a burst of metal collision, the keels were dented by the cannonballs, but their ability to regenerate quickly returned to normal.

However, the users of the keel, the knights, suffered considerable losses due to the force of the impact.

Seeing with his own eyes a knight was hit by a cannonball and fell to the ground vomiting blood. Randall used the hive on his back to issue instructions to everyone.

"While the artillery is reloading, everyone in the Knights obeys the order! Put away the shields and umbrellas! Charge at full speed!"

The knights adjusted their keel shields from extended mode to folded mode, drew out their weapons, and charged towards the enemy's defense line with all their might.

After paying a lot of casualties, the knights finally took the lead and rushed into the enemy's trenches.

As soon as Randall jumped into the trench, what appeared in front of him was a soldier with a cross on his chest and a look of panic on his face.

The opponent was hurriedly trying to load the musket. Without thinking, Randall turned a dragon bone parasite segment into a spear and pierced the opponent's chest directly.

Carroll, Aldenan and Bulwer also rushed into the trench at this time. The strength of the orcs, the speed of the werewolves and the tenacity of the tauren were fully utilized in this narrow passage.

Ardenan jumped onto the mound of trench, and with a sudden burst of strength, he jumped directly into the enemy's musketeers.

A pair of sharp claws flew up and down, and one enemy head after another flew into the sky one after another.

And Carol, a green-skinned monster nearly two meters tall, slowly walked towards a knight commander of the church army. The latter raised the short gun in his panic and pulled the trigger on the former.

After the gunshot, the lead bullets embedded themselves in the orc's skin, but did not cause much damage to the opponent at all.

Carroll just shook his body and continued walking towards the enemy.

When the orc walked up to the enemy commander, the former grabbed the latter's helmet with one hand, exerted force with his five fingers, and squeezed hard.

The helmet made of steel was like paper, being pinched out of shape.

Bones and blood burst out from the cracks in the helmet and spread all over the ground.

When the surrounding church soldiers saw this scene, they were all frightened to death, and they dropped their weapons and fled towards the rear.

At this time, the Minotaur Bulwer crashed directly into the enemy's bunker. Amidst the screams of the enemy soldiers, he actually directly removed the artillery installed on the turret and waved it as a weapon.

Suddenly, the entire bunker was covered in blood and flesh, with no survivors.

Half an hour later, three thousand soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom Expeditionary Force completely controlled the second line of defense in Yuanjin Hills.
