The battle continues. Wen Yuan fired the eighth bullet at the Forest King, supporting Karin and others who were still fighting outside the battle line.
"No." He put the gun aside, "It's the same as shooting those cavalry just now. The first few shots are still effective, but after being blown up again and again, he can recover again. The ones you just knocked away with your sword That trooper is there now, and she's back to normal."
The royal cavalry did not charge. They were already waiting by the door, guarding the golden branch tree. Shangluo no longer recognized which one he had been beaten before. Now every horseman had recovered as before, and it was impossible to tell where the injuries were.
"Tsk, this is difficult to handle."
Suddenly, the call came back again.
"Sorry." After a moment, Titus called back again after only ten seconds. "This is not a situation you can deal with. We are coordinating the First Army to come to suppress it - sorry, the internal guards will I take full responsibility for this matter. Because you followed the inner guard's strategy completely, we didn't know that such a disaster would occur after all the execution. If this was a game, then this should be a hidden mission. Just... I'm sorry. .”
"What are we going to do now?" Shangluo asked directly.
"Push back, the artillery group will fire in 5 seconds. Those artillery should not hurt you, but they can only delay the wild hunting. The first legion is assembled, and we will take care of the rest. Then, hurry up Come back some."
"Pa." Shangluo hung up the phone. He was a little angry. I have to say, even he was a little angry.
"Why is this happening!" He became more and more angry, "I obviously did what they said, why did it become like this!"
Wen Yuan patted his shoulder and said nothing.
"This shows that the Romans' control over the situation has reached a critical point." Han Xingzhi pushed up his glasses, "Rome now no longer even has the ability to avoid disasters. They even need to confront the power of the Wild Hunt. Judging from the situation just now, I'm afraid there will be a lot of blood tonight. A lot of blood. By the way, brother, didn't they say they were going to fire?"
"Yeah." Shangluo responded.
"Where are the artillery? Aren't the artillery groups ready a long time ago? Do they have to wait for us to withdraw before firing? But the Dragon Tooth Soldiers' front line is already unstretched."
"I don't know." Shangluo looked up, "He said he couldn't hurt us, so he probably has already fired."
"No, something is wrong. Wait, where is the road? Where is the beast trail we took when we came here?"
Titus's telescope fell to the ground.
The division-level artillery group on the horizon has opened fire, and the roar of the cannons makes the place shake. Animals, flying insects, and birds all fled away as if they had a premonition of the end of the world. Countless cannonballs roared across the night sky in the darkness. A few of the cannonballs left bright trails and fell to the ground like meteors across the sky. The first shells fired had already hit the forest. However, the shell was swallowed up.
There was no explosion and no light. Everything seemed to be swallowed up by the forest, but nothing in the forest seemed to have changed. From just now until now, he only heard the description from Shangluo's description, and he was sure that it was the characteristic of wild hunting. But he still saw nothing.
"Wait!" Titus' back was cold. In the quiet forest, something seemed to be expanding. Walking to the path, he stretched out his hand gently - and then pulled it back suddenly. It was incredibly cold
For a moment, he felt as if he had touched the coldest object in the world. A chill passed through my fingertips and pierced my back.
This is malice from the wilderness, a harbinger of an icy world.
"What the hell is this!"
Before he finished speaking, there seemed to be something more in the whistling sound of the cannonballs: in the darkness, there were countless black shadows that fought back, following the trajectory of the cannonballs. Titus saw clearly that it was the cannonball from before!
He grabbed the walkie-talkie, and the other end of the walkie-talkie was the artillery group in the rear: "It's a counterattack! They counterattacked the artillery fire! Run!!!"
"Malaka!!!" The other end of the phone was not an operator, but a senior officer of the First Army. After receiving Titus's report, he hung up the phone and ordered the artillery group to be moved, but it was too late. In a few breaths, the shells that were shot back flew back to the original place and exploded at the artillery position. Each shell was accurately reflected back at the artillery that fired it, like a lost boomerang flying back into the distance. Fiery fireballs exploded in all directions of the position.
"Sha~~~~" Titus stood frozen on the spot. There was no sound on the other end of the phone, only the blazing fire that reached the sky. An entire artillery group was wiped out.
Slowly, he hung up the phone. He looked toward the forest. He knew that in the forest where nothing seemed to be happening, something big enough to change the world was happening.
"Mayor Kelso." He handed over the car keys, "You, run."
"But Karin."
"I'm going to bring them all out. This is not where civilians should be. As a civilian, you should stay away from the battlefield now. Run."
With that said, he began to check his equipment. Pistols, rifles. Several other Titus also looked at each other and put on their hoods. They could feel the cold just now, but in the face of crisis they only have the responsibility. Even if it is filled in, they still have to rush in. Because the world is watching them.
"Ding-ding-ding." The phone rang again on the walkie-talkie.
Titus, who was checking the equipment, motioned to the other Titus to pick it up for him.
Dolphin squatted down and stepped forward to pick up the phone.
"Yes!!! Yes!!! Right now!" He handed over the phone.
"who?"
"It's Her Majesty Queen Victoria! She told us not to retreat even one step."
"We had no intention of retreating."
"No! She meant that we should not go in and observe here. She said she wanted us to be here to witness the miracle. Literally, we wanted to witness the miracle here."
"A miracle? Could it be..." He had vaguely guessed it, but it was a miracle that he never wanted to witness, at least not now, because the whole of Rome was not ready yet.
Ahead is a hail of bullets. The position of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers is still supporting, and the array of the Great Elves of the Spring is also constantly advancing. A steady stream of immortal elves were shattered by machine guns and reassembled. Shattered again, reassembled again.
Time and time again, the Forest King was killed by Karin and others. But again and again, the forest king returned to his original place.
Shangluo stared ahead looking for flaws. Maybe. Although the hope is not high, there should be some opportunities.
Suddenly, Han Xingzhi patted him on the shoulder:
"Brother, someone is looking for you, I will transfer you in."
Anxious Shangluo turned on the intercom. It was a strange female voice. The voice sounded one or two years older than himself, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was close to an adult's voice.
"Are you Shangluo?" the girl asked on the phone, her voice unusually steady at this age.
"Yes. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Let the Chief Photographer talk to you." She transferred the call to someone else——
"I am Shang Bufan, the chief physiognomist of the 'Lighthouse Project'. There is an emergency situation that I want to inform you about. Please cooperate."
A familiar voice appeared in Shangluo's ears. This was the voice that had surrounded his ears almost every day for the past 10 years.
"Understood, please speak." No pleasantries, no unnecessary dialogue. Shangluo listened quietly.
“Look up, look at the sky, and witness the miracle.”
"Sky?"
Shangluo looked up to the sky——
The clouds recede. The majestic structure tore through the night and appeared from the zenith. Mechanical gears, levers, cycloidal wheels, oscillators, and brass bells occupy the entire sky. In the center of the zenith, a crystal shines brilliantly like the sun. Unlike Apollonia's red crystal, that crystal was golden.
The clockwork started and the gears began to rotate. First it was the small gears distributed on the edge of the bell structure, and then the large gears began to rotate visible to the naked eye. The gears mesh with each other, driving the levers, cycloidal wheels and oscillators to converge into a low roar.
boom--
A bell rang and the sky began to rotate. The sky of Zhonggou falls to the west, and another piece of land rises from the east. But that is not a strange territory, it is the human world, the earth. Egypt to be precise, the city of Alexandria. The city of Alexandria is gradually rising from the horizon to the center of the zenith. The lighthouse of Alexandria hung high above their heads.

[The phlogiston circuit is injected, and the spirit overwriting begins. 】
[Loading: "Aether Wars". 】
As soon as he finished speaking, another bell rang - the Alexandria Lighthouse hanging high in the sky erupted with white light that was enough to illuminate the world.
Shrouded in white light, everything became silent. There was no sound of gunfire, no sound of swords, and even the heartbeat that could be heard when truly resting could no longer be heard.
He could only feel the dizziness of dizziness. It seems that everything is breaking into colorful particles and then reforming. Shattered into a mosaic of pixels, reassembled again. Broken into square voxels, and then put back together again——
The light gradually faded, and the scene of the world returned to his vision. Everything seems to be the same as before, but it seems to be different again——
A dazzling magenta square appeared on the ground in front of him. When he looked over, the color block shook "mischievously" and returned to normal. The vision gradually changed from a noisy scene to becoming clearer.
The formation of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, the great elf of the spring that charged into the formation, the laurel tree, the Forest King and Karin under the laurel tree, as well as Wen Yuan, Lu Liang, Han Xingzhi, and Apollonia beside them, were all the same as before. However, there was a small, red, rectangular, long strip on their heads.
"Is this a health bar???" Han Xingzhi touched the top of his head, "This is a health marker! It's a blood bar! It's exactly the same as the one in "Heroes Parade"! Wait, did you see it? There are two big ones in the center!”
Shangluo also noticed. There are two "BOSS" health bars fixed above his field of vision:
One of them is: [LV59: Forest King·Eternal Shadow of Lake Nemi (Complete)]
The second one is: [LV59: Changxia Royal Court’s Wild Hunting Army]
The health bar is not immovable. But it is slowly falling.
The forest king under the golden branch tree also raised his head. While he was off balance, Karin penetrated his chest with a sword, and the chest recovered as before. However, the health bar dropped by 2%.
"Ahhhhh!" The Forest King roared like never before, "You! What did you do to me! What is that ridiculous thing on my head!!! You turned me into... into What a finite thing, what a pathetic thing!!! Blasphemy! Blasphemy! I curse you! I curse." His verbal curse was interrupted by the attack.
Karin swung her sword and penetrated his chest, twisting it violently clockwise, and the health bar trembled violently, falling by 5%.
