Chapter 362: Hell at Hand
The wall of the fortress city is a long line of defense. The city entrance in the middle section is particularly thick and can be regarded as the front-line command post in wartime.
At this time, the leaders of many forces in the city gathered here. The combat staff of the garrison regiment seemed dissatisfied with the greetings between Odysseus and Tennyson, but neither of them seemed to care too much about that person.
"Hey, Odysseus, your friend is quite arrogant?" Seeing that Mu Hua refused Odysseus's introduction, Tennyson smiled and said that since Odysseus emphasized that Mu Hua was a friend, Tennyson also put away his hostility towards Mu Hua.
"He doesn't expect you to make a living. This is not your Galaposo." Odysseus smiled, not caring about Mu Hua's actions at all.
And Tamara flew to Mu Hua's shoulder. When he saw Tamara's closeness to Mu Hua, Tennyson finally showed some respect in his eyes when he looked at Mu Hua, and nodded to Mu Hua from a distance.
At this time, Nick and others also joined in the greetings between Odysseus and Tennyson. Unlike Odysseus, the exchanges between others and Tennyson were more formal and respectful.
Although most of the kingdoms in the courtyard would pay tribute to the human world country where the courtyard entrance was located, it was more like a kind of cooperation and care. The courtyard kingdom exported materials to the human world, and the human world country would also guide its citizens to settle in the courtyard kingdom to a certain extent.
Since Tennyson had established a country, there was no difference in diplomatic status between him and the emperor, president and other leaders of the human world country.
Those who represented the official power of the government still had to give him the respect he gave to the national leaders.
Moreover, among the people brought by Tennyson, there were at least more than a thousand combat professionals with independent flight capabilities.
These people were all walking tactical missile launchers, and they were super energy-saving, super mobile, and could hand-roll ammunition anytime and anywhere.
"Haha, Mu, you are really smart. Although I don't know other rumors about the big rat, he is really stingy." Not to mention the greetings from Odysseus, seeing that Mu Hua didn't get close to Tennyson, a middle-aged man next to Mu Hua laughed.
The person who spoke was dressed in a hippie style. His name was El. He looked middle-aged, but because of his physical fitness, his actual age was not easy to judge from his appearance.
This person was Odysseus's "eyes" and the leader of the filming team in the team. He had very special abilities and training directions. He was a technical talent. Perhaps because he didn't need to see Mu Hua's face, he was much more casual with Mu Hua than Ajel.
Tennyson was stingy? Well, Mu Hua could understand this. He was the sign of the hoarding rat. I think he would be more worrying when he was generous.
"What are these people doing here? The battle line drawn by the demons will probably not be short. Will the battle command be handed over to the patrol fleet?"
Not paying too much attention to Tennyson's question, as His Majesty the King and the like had no essential connection with him. Mu Hua looked at the satellite images on his personal terminal with some worry.
Dozens of kilometers away from the fortress city, countless hyoid demons were approaching the city. The sea tide, the bone armor on the head of the hyoid demon, brought out a sea tide of different colors.
Tens of thousands? Not 10,000 or 20,000, but counting in units of 10,000.
Judging from the scene in the satellite images, the number of these demons that looked very much like aliens was no less than 100,000, and there were also a large number of low-level monsters among them.
This was only the first batch of monsters that were closest to the fortress city. It was not surprising to Mu Hua that they could draw a battle line covering the city walls.
Facing a war of this scale for the first time, Mu Hua was still a little nervous. He was not sure how the humans would command and dispatch, and he was also a little worried about the safety of Taibesha and the others.
Those hyoid demons are not goblins. They are agile and move like ghosts. Their claws and tails are as hard as swords and spears. They have very strong assault capabilities. They are even more difficult to deal with when they gather together. They can't just act independently and fight randomly, right?
"No, the general patrol fleet will only command their headquarters personnel, and the garrison regiment is responsible for the city defense."
"The adventurers this time should probably be commanded and dispatched by that big rat, after all, he is also the brigade leader."
"Three more brigades came this time. Since he came, he must have asked for some benefits from the empire, so he should do more." El explained.
"Three more brigades?" Mu Hua looked around.
"Well, the other two are already preparing for battle on the east and west sides." The defense of the fortress city is 20 kilometers long, and the magic tide obviously cannot only come to the area where Mu Hua and his team are.
But even if El explained, Mu Hua still didn't know how they should command and arrange. At this time, a wave of energy radiation passed by, and Mu Hua looked into the distance in surprise.
"Here it comes, electromagnetic pulse, it's time for me to work." As he spoke, El trotted towards Odysseus.
Standing on the city wall over 20 meters high, Mu Hua saw some engineering vehicles digging trenches and shelters outside the city suddenly shut down, and some drivers quickly fled the vehicles. Those bulky engineering vehicles seemed to have become messy shelters outside the city.
The satellite image on the terminal disappeared, and Mu Hua looked up. The fleet that was originally stationary above the city had already ignited and started, and the azure energy halo formed particles around the airships.
Mu Hua knew in his heart that all the equipment containing electronic components had failed. If nothing unexpected happened, the reconnaissance satellites that humans had dropped into this courtyard might have been destroyed.
Although the technology of this world is mainly based on magic, the cheapness of electronic products still prevents humans from completely giving up on them. However, when it comes to war, whether it is between humans and demons or humans, cheap electronic products are easy to destroy.
As for reconnaissance satellites? There is no need for long-range magic sniping, there are many winged demons among the demons.
The sky plays a chapter of music.
Hell within reach!
War song without words.
The lyrics of the human beings that incited the warriors to die and sang about death with various emotions were once ridiculed by demons and even orcs.
It was the bullying of the powerful and the stupidity of the weak. Humans once became the laughing stock of monsters.
Hell within reach, a human war song that has been passed down since ancient times, has no lyrics. The passionate music notes stir people's heart membranes, and it praises every warrior who fights for themselves.
The sound of Hell within reach represents the arrival of the war between humans and demons.
At this time, El, who ran to Odysseus, held an expensive magic crystal in each hand. El looked up and closed his eyes. With the magic power spreading around him, a huge projection screen unfolded in the air.
Magic Eye - Bird's Eye View.
El's magic eye became a substitute for reconnaissance satellites. The picture from high altitude seemed to be searching, zooming out, and zooming in. In a moment, a castle rising from the ground was found on the vast land.
It seemed like a living demon city, and it was also like a growing magic tower. The height of dozens of meters seemed to be still climbing. On a platform at the top of the castle, an Arakone with a smile on his face raised his head, as if looking at the people observing the picture.
The size of this Arakone was much smaller than expected. The upper body was about 1.5 meters, the limbs were not fully erected, and the overall height was less than five meters.
The lower body of the spider, eight slender and powerful limbs with sharp claws at the end, the lower body was gray-black as a whole, and the surface was distributed with blue stripes, which looked very strange.
The skin on her upper body was pale, and it seemed to be woven from countless tiny threads, with a slight spider web texture.
On her humanoid face, in addition to two big eyes, there were two pairs of compound eyes on her forehead. Arakne's upper body was just humanoid, and it was not as beautiful as imagined.
When her face showed a human expression, the bird's-eye projection screen turned away quickly, but El, who was casting the magic eye, did not dare to look at her. At the same time, he was also afraid that Arakne's sight in the screen would affect the viewers.
Demons, especially some upper demons, their influence on creatures is not only derived from their wrist strength and spells, they themselves are a kind of weird existence, and their existence itself can drive unprepared people crazy.
At this time, the chapter of "Hell at a Distance" resounded throughout the city, and in the beating of the notes, people seemed to hear a female voice whispering.
"The Lord has agreed to your negotiation. Come, come to us."
"Of course, please accept the gift given to humans first."
The demon's murmur is not human language, vague, but people understand its meaning.
The demons have built a magic position like a demon city in the distance, where they are waiting for talks with humans. But the premise is that humans need to extinguish the incoming demon tide first and reach them.
The demons in this courtyard also look very bad. This war is not simply willful, because at this time not only is the fortress city full of extreme emotions, but the attacking demons are probably also overflowing with crazy emotional energy.
Different from the focus of others, Mu Hua vaguely discovered that the magic position built by Arakone just now like a demon city is more like an altar for collecting emotional energy.
The demons here are not simply demonstrating to humans. I am afraid that their purpose from beginning to end is to collect emotional energy.
This is a feast for them. Regardless of the life and death of humans, even if a large number of monsters die, even if the monsters are defeated, it is also a feast for them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The airship flew low over, and the sound of countless heavy objects falling to the ground gathered together. The falling steel torrent made the ground of the fortress city tremble.
Mechas, and the mecha warriors surrounding them.
Reinforced armor for land combat.
Countless mecha warriors were dropped by small airships, and they took the lead in building the initial defense line of the human side outside the city. (End of this chapter)
