However, after the short-term happiness, what came was a hellish scene.
If there is anything in this world than after going through so much trouble to kill a powerful enemy, ten more identical ones will immediately appear, that is, there are countless powerful enemies all over the mountains and plains!
The terrain is steep, and on the rocky slopes, heavy and slow steel structures appear one after another. Behind these iron knots, there was a large army crawling forward, as dark as a colony of ants.
The sight in front of them made the defenders' breathing stagnant, and many people swallowed their saliva subconsciously. The huge pressure was like a mountain falling, making people involuntarily think of death and destruction.
"What are you doing standing still!" "Cheer up, victory belongs to us!"
The veteran mercenary, who had experienced many battles, quickly got out of his negative emotions and encouraged the young people around him.
"I've been in worse situations and I survived."
"They are just a bunch of rabble, and we are the dream chasers who follow in the footsteps of heroes!"
"Believe in yourself and the commander-in-chief, we will definitely win!"
"For our glory, for our dreams!"
Morale was quickly boosted, and the soldiers picked up their guns and shot at the enemy troops below.
The bullets that poured down hit the weathered rocks, stirring up large amounts of smoke and dust, and the vision was quickly blocked.
There were constant clanking sounds in the thick smoke, and a lot of sparks flew out. That's the reaction of the bullet hitting the steel plate. The can-style explosive grenade fell into the smoke and dust in an arc, blasting the dust into the sky.
The coalition's counterattack was even more fierce, and the firepower several times that of the expeditionary force was poured on the hilltop. Thousands of grenades fell with a scream, exploding a spring of earth more than ten meters away. The dense bullets formed a huge fire net, covering the entire sky in flames.
The continuous artillery fire of the Gravekeeper mecha was even more ferocious, shattering the rock formations and destroying them wherever they went, with large tracts of weathered rock shattering and collapsing.
"The firepower is too strong!" "I can't stand it anymore!"
"We can't let the iron bumps come up!" "There's nothing we can do, we can't hold on anymore!"
Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the defenders had to abandon their forward positions and retreat to the second line of defense.
The first batch of Gravekeeper mechas from the coalition climbed to the top of the hill, folded their legs together, closed the steel plates on both sides forward, and extended the four gun barrels forward.
A large number of infantry followed, occupying various firepower points.
The second group of tomb guards climbed up, moved forward dozens of meters, and switched to the fortress form.
The second group of infantry followed up, advancing step by step.
The first group of gravekeepers switched back to their mecha form and advanced forward.
This is the classic "serial iron fortress tactic". Heavy mechas are used to open the way in front, and the infantry follows behind, advancing layer by layer and pushing forward.
The advantage of this tactic is that it can bring a huge sense of security to the soldiers. Even soldiers with low quality will not be easily timid and fall into chaos. This is undoubtedly the best tactic currently used by the coalition forces, which can use quantitative advantages to make up for qualitative disadvantages.
Originally, the best way to deal with this tactic was to use a large number of artillery coverage. Because the soldiers were concentrated, the effect of the grenades would be doubled. Unfortunately, the expeditionary force lacked ammunition and was unable to use such methods.
"How can we fight with so many iron lumps?" "Send in some Valkyries!" "How can there be so many!"
The main component of the expeditionary force is the mercenary group. Since mercenary groups rarely engage in tough battles, they are not equipped with heavy mechas. They usually use shoulder-resistant cannons and sand camels. The richer ones also buy a few more comprehensive Valkyries and Burning Sky Sparrows, like tomb guards. Only the regular army can deploy heavy mechas with a single purpose like humans.
"Does our right army use Bayonetta snipers?" "You think too much..."
The infantry configuration of the expeditionary force was almost unable to deal with the Gravekeeper mecha. As they retreated again and again, it seemed that the second line of defense was about to be lost.
Suddenly a whistle sounded from behind, and then a shadow passed overhead. Looking up, it turned out to be a big bird with a copper shell and iron wings, spewing out large streams of steam.
"Puppet Eagle! It's the legion commander!"
A slender and tall figure appeared on the high ground behind, with long golden hair flying in the wind.
In white/military uniform and red cloak, he is none other than Leliangka, commander of the right army of the expeditionary force, a quasi-lord level powerhouse.
The puppet eagle fell from the sky, grabbed a Gravekeeper mecha tightly with a pair of sharp talons, and then soared into the sky and flew above the other one. As soon as its claws were released, the heavy mecha fell from a high altitude and hit the ground hard. on companions.
"Clang!"
The two mechas overlapped each other, electric sparks erupted from all joints, and they had lost their mobility under the heavy impact.
The same situation also occurred on the Chinese military position south of the weathered rock group.
Hundreds of Tomb Keeper mechas led the large troops towards the expeditionary force's position. At the critical moment, a red bull suddenly rushed out from behind. The muscles were extremely strong and swollen like iron. The bull's nose spurted out. Two streams of steam, hooves burning with flames, leaving burnt hoof prints wherever they passed.
On the back of this savage bull that exuded the aura of ancient times, a woman with two swords sat astride, wearing airtight heavy protective armor, with traces of bright blue light shining through the gaps in the joints.
The savage ox stepped on the fire with its hooves and rushed towards the fortress in front of it.
The fortress turned the muzzle, the four barrels stuttered back and forth, and fired continuous rounds of artillery.
The barbarian bull did not dodge and rushed towards the artillery. The shells exploded on the cows and women one after another, but they were like a dream and had no effect at all.
The bull didn't slow down at all and crashed straight into it. There was only a loud "clang" sound, and the fortress was like a bottle knocked away by a bowling ball. It hit the weathered rock behind heavily and fell apart on the spot.
The bull succeeded in one blow, and without stopping for half a second, he turned around and rushed towards the next target. Its horns were lowered, and it jerked upwards. The fortress rolled and flew to the rear, falling into the group of soldiers, crushing a bloody path.
At the same moment, a loud horn sounded on the other side of the battlefield, and a group of female warriors in golden armor rushed into the battlefield. They either slashed with swords, pierced with spears, or raised the mechas with both hands and threw them at the enemy group, destroying the enemy. Sweeping across the battlefield.
Because of the addition of three powerful men from the Holy Domain, the advantage gained by the coalition forces instantly disappeared, and the defenders began to counterattack.
The balance of victory began to tilt towards the expeditionary force. The coalition forces were retreating steadily and were about to be driven down the hillside.
"Roar!"
A violent beast roar came from down the mountain, piercing the clouds and cracking rocks, shaking people's internal organs.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A dull sound came from below, and the gravel on the ground bounced, as if something huge was climbing up.
Xiang Caidi and Jian Yue Canglian looked at each other and retreated at the same time.
Qin Wu finally couldn't help but take action.
In the deep space, cameras all over the satellite telescoped and focused, locking on the red giant climbing the rock.
It is so powerful that it pulls rocks and leaps tens of meters high. The steep hillside is like walking on flat ground.
Chen Xing stared at the giant beast, slowly picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Thunder Light Group, prepare to fight!"
