Him and their stars

Chapter 1151 The old bacon in the era of enlighteners

So, this thing is actually an ancient robot? Long Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He actually felt that it would be reasonable if it were really a machine. After all, this place was a relic of the previous civilization. It was really hard for him to imagine what kind of creatures could accompany this relic and survive in this universe for hundreds of millions of years.

Of course, there are indeed immortal cosmic Leviathans and phantom beasts in this world, but there are still different opinions on the lifespan of these magical animals like gods. At least the scientific community does not admit them... or that they can live for hundreds of millions of years.

If it was really a machine, it would be very reasonable to exist at this point. At least so far, there are only as many machines and machine-like products excavated from the ruins of the Enlightened Ones that can still be activated.

But if this is really the case, what is the biological reaction that I just sensed through the "Praying Arithmetic"?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the "Prayer Arithmetic" taught by Master? This idea flashed through Long Yuan's mind, and then he quickly rejected it. Although he has the face of a Tireluo, he is very conservative at heart, and he respects his master like a god, and he will not doubt the secrets taught by his mentor.

Therefore, it must be that I haven’t mastered cultivation yet.

As soon as Long Yuan decided to go back and increase his training volume after this battle, he saw the dexterous light whip swiping away, smashing half of the drones to pieces on the spot like swatting flies.

The rest of the drones quickly took off, and continued to project dense honeycomb missiles towards the huge shadow in the water mist. In the surging tide caused by the explosion, the outline of the giant thing gradually became clear. Immediately afterwards, a huge ferocious beast head emerged through the tide. It seems that it does have the appearance of a typical reptile, with a triangular smooth facial contour and a mouth that can be opened to the limit. It's exactly like a snake or lizard's head magnified tens of thousands of times.

Of course, if you have to say that it is a dragon head, it is not impossible, as long as it does not offend the "friendly forces" of the empire next to it.

But in fact, that thing really lacks the sense of sanctity and solemnity that a dragon species should have. Although it is huge, its eyes as big as gongs are full of ferocity and ferocity, and there is even a mechanical look in its movements. feeling of stiffness.

Looking more closely, there seemed to be some characters flickering in the monster's eyes, much like the projection screen of a large terminal.

Immediately afterwards, the giant beast's bloody mouth spit out breath like a dragon. However, when those dazzling beams of light began to flash, the energy detection terminal carried by the army quickly responded: "It's a plasma beam!"

Well, the power of the plasma beam is still very strong, but once something is restored to its essence in scientific concepts, the high and mysterious aura suddenly disappears.

At the same time, Colonel Nani on the Earth side and Sir Winktu on the Empire side have already stood out from the crowd. These two psykers, both of whom "guarded" the star ring, deployed force field shields on the sector swept by the plasma beam, and withstood the frontal impact.

In an instant, the shields they deployed and the bombardment of plasma beams were invisible at the same time, and the two of them were hit by the reverberation of the energy impact and staggered back even with their armor.

But at this moment, the giant beast also showed a flaw.

Only then did the soldiers see clearly. The outline of this guy does look like a reptile without legs, but the body is closer to the spindle shape of a fish, and most of the body from the head down is completely wrapped in a colder and more alien metal shell. It is shining, and the light flowing on it is more likely to be made of electrical energy.

Everyone no longer knows whether this is a half-mechanical, half-living monster, or a monster with a layer of mechanical armor.

However, this does not affect their operations. The moment the behemoth's beam dissipated and the mammoth mouth that exuded a mechanical feel had not yet been closed, the soldiers of the empire and the community began to fire their guns and guns, pouring out all the firepower in their hands.

"This thing should not be underestimated! Everyone, no matter what, must give priority to protecting your own safety!" Long Yuan said loudly.

Soback nodded and replied: "Second!"

"You don't need to be eager to capture it alive! It's enough to kill it while ensuring your own safety." Long Yuan added.

You guys are simply my battlefield replacement. Soback glanced at the young psyker with some emotion, thinking that if you were from the Empire, I would have to bow down to you.

However, Long Yuan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Soback, secretly admiring him.

"As a general, he runs the army with sincerity and loves the soldiers with benevolence and righteousness. He has the demeanor of an ancient Confucian general! He is indeed my uncle's old enemy! But even if he is an old enemy, he is really heartbreaking!"

Long Yuan withdrew his gaze, lowered the Vulcan Cannon on his left shoulder and aimed it at the throat of the giant beast. With his right hand, he also took off the weapon on his back - but it turned out to be a majestic Yanyue Sword.

At this time, the giant beast finally emerged from the water under intense firepower. It obviously doesn't have any organs like legs, but the tail of its trunk seems to have two electromagnetic shaftless propellers that continuously push the water flow. A shield also appeared on its body, and it withstood the intensive firepower, causing its entire body to rush toward the lakeside.

After the plasma cannon breath failed, it changed its attack method. The densely packed steel whips extending from its body like jellyfish tentacles raised their heads and left the water, and the tips continued to blast out dense ion beams. For a time, it was so overwhelming that several of our own firepower points were unable to fight back.

However, the opponent's firepower was fierce, but the soldiers of the two armies present were really not very nervous. They always feel that what they have to face is not some phantom beast whose every movement and movement is full of unpredictable mysterious power, but at most a larger armored mobile fortress.

The grenadiers and marines present were all elite, and they had quite a lot of experience in dealing with such normal things.

As a result, the soldiers, under the leadership of their respective commanders, dispersed their formation while continuing to maintain all-round firepower projection. In this way, the firepower density of the mechanical behemoth can be maintained, and the risk of being hit by ion cannonballs is reduced by spreading out the formation.

Fortunately, they are elite. If it is a slightly inferior ordinary unit, the losses in a few rounds should not be small. Long Yuan thought.

However, Brigadier General Chaimen said: "Actually, we should learn the civil engineering work in "Defense Theory"! If we dig some trenches by the lake in advance, the losses will be smaller."

"However, our exploration time is limited, and we do not have the engineering equipment to quickly build fortifications. We have no choice, we cannot expect the Imperial Army to cooperate with us."

At this time, after the soldiers on both sides suffered not too serious casualties, the giant beast finally crashed into the lakeside like a stranded humpback whale. The automatically formed energy field around it had begun to dissipate, and bullets and cannonballs collided with its body, making a crisp metallic collision sound. Some attacks hit its flesh, causing wounds and leaving transparent liquid behind, but it was unknown whether it was blood or some other body tissue.

However, as long as there is blood, it means that this thing is killable. The morale of the soldiers immediately soared.

However, even after receiving such intensive attacks, this giant beast showed no sign of pain. Even though its physical part is full of health and vitality, it still doesn't behave like a living thing.

It continued to advance against the hail of bullets, waving its densely packed steel tentacles and smashing the two soldiers who had retreated half a beat into the lake. But then, when those tentacles were still looking for prey, they ran into the shields of Colonel Nani and Colonel Winktu.

"For the community!" Long Yuan shouted. Before he started, the female knight of the empire who raised the warhammer roared even more domineeringly: "Charge! Star Knights! For the empire!"

The psykers of the Empire's Astral Knights and the Community's Azure Guards just shouted and rushed forward, bringing the battle into the rhythm they were best at.

To put it bluntly, it’s just about fighting giant monsters. They also have rich experience in this area. Even if it has not been operated in the field, it must have been practiced in various ways.

Facts have proved that Long Yuan's estimation after taking the money sword and compass to dance with the master is still very normal. The psykers wearing the heraldry machine all discovered that if they really relied on the strength of one party to fight this mechanical monster, the other party should be slightly stronger than themselves. Even if you rely on willpower, skills, tactics, explosive seeds, etc. to win, there will inevitably be dead people. But if the two parties were added together, they would be a little stronger than this monster. If the above factors are taken into consideration, it can even be achieved where no one sacrifices and everyone is happy.

So, ten minutes later, when the psychics on both sides had to pay the price of three people being injured and two heraldic machines being completely scrapped, Long Yuan waved the Yanyue Sword full of ancient East Asian charm in his hand, and slashed at the enemy with a round sword. The joint between the monster's head and the mechanical structure of its torso.

In an instant, all I could see was electric light flowing and sparks scattering in all directions. The mechanical giant's stiff eyes flashed on and off a few times like a lightbulb that was about to run out. He let out a "ouch" and fell flat on the ground. The torso wrapped in steel armor twitched, and the whole body cracked directly from the middle. The scene was as if a skilled cook had used a knife to cut the entire body of a dead animal into two flat pieces.

Then, everyone really smelled the obvious aroma of meat from the two cut bodies.

Yes, it has the smell of plump and juicy fresh meat that has just been roasted over a charcoal fire until it is eighty-ripe, with a hint of cumin and pepper in it.

The soldiers from both sides, who had just experienced a big battle, no longer knew what expressions they should show.

After a few seconds, Soback said hesitantly: "It seems...there is really barbecue?"

He had seen the section of the monster's torso cut open. It is indeed a combination of flesh and machinery, but it doesn't seem strange. Those mechanical structures look very simple, like the handiwork of a kindergarten child. However, all the parts have a hint of aura flowing through them, and they are clearly products of zero elements. As for the physical tissue wrapped in the metal armor, it was completely cooked unconsciously, glowing with an attractive oily sheen.

Miss Viscount Serlu was even more stunned. Judging from the aroma and color, these barbecued meats were almost perfect in terms of meat quality and heat. She wasn't even sure if her chef had such skills.

"Gulu..."

She heard the sound of someone swallowing, and it even reached her ears through the communicator, and she immediately stared at the source of the sound angrily.

"Behave yourself, Colonel Winktow!"

"Ah, I, I don't... uh, I'm sorry." Sir Winktu wanted to say that this clearly belonged to Commander Soback, but it is conceivable that he, a Wulfling, could become a full knight in the Astral Knights. A master with high emotional intelligence, he quickly changed his tune and even said in a deep and honest voice: "But, madam, the first two meals we ate were field rations."

"How about you go and give it a try?" Miss Viscount asked angrily.

The Wulfling knight didn't react at all, but Soback next to him felt that he was being targeted. He was embarrassed and wanted to dig out a Dragon Palace on the lakeside with his feet.

But at this moment, Long Yuan, who had been standing next to the "corpse" of the semi-mechanical monster, suddenly took off his helmet after hesitating for a moment, and actually pulled off a piece of barbecue from the cut section. Stuffed it into his mouth.

Everyone was unable to stop him, so they could only salute this warrior who was literally the first to eat crabs with shock and admiration.

"As expected of the Tirello people, even if they become traitors, they are still the most courageous group." Miss Viscount said.

Can you not mention the traitor thing? Sobek thought.

At this time, Long Yuan had already swallowed the barbecue in his stomach, and said: "Well, it's crunchy and tender, beef... Haha, actually I think it's more than just one kind of meat. For example, there are more than ten kinds of beef, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, etc. The smell of meat intertwined together, I have never tasted such a layered flavor. So, is this the number of plum blossoms in ninety-nine and eighty-one?"

Everyone felt like they were starving to death.

"But why did it unfold like this?" Miss Serlu said that she still couldn't understand it. This development has indeed exceeded her imagination.

"Do you think this is possible? Is this thing really just old bacon left over from the Enlightenment era?" Soback smiled and said, "Is it used for training soldiers? The only way is to beat it. You have to die to eat the food inside?"

"Your Excellency... are you really planning to write this kind of speculation in the report?" Sellu said, holding her forehead.

"Anyway, it's just a guess, and we can think about it reasonably. Don't worry. Sellu, Admiral Farrell, and His Royal Highness King Suliuka are all very enlightened superiors, and they should allow us to give full play to our imagination. perhaps……"

At this time, Long Yuan over there had torn off the third piece of barbecue in full view of everyone.

"Lieutenant Colonel Long Yuan, no matter how delicious it is, please bear with it for a while. These barbecued meats... Bah, these unknown biological tissues in the state of cooked meat, and these mechanical structures are everyone's relics and discoveries. We need Seal it until later research!" Sellu said loudly.

"I'm sorry. I've never tasted such delicious food. I'm a little bit out of control." Long Yuan showed a guilty expression, then turned around quickly and stuffed back the roasted meat he had just torn off.

However, the moment he turned around, he had already covered everyone's sight with his body wrapped in the heraldry machine. When the barbecue was stuffed back into place, a metal pellet the size of a mung bean instantly rolled into the fragrant hot oil, and then disappeared.
