A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Chapter 23 Cannon fire washes the ground

"@#￥%!"

Incomprehensible piercing screams came from all directions, pouring into the pure land covered in gray and white.

Gladia hugged Lemuan and landed next to Ceria. She glanced around, her eyes full of vigilance.

"How, are you sure?"

"It's just a monster that has lost its mind. Foreign objects are foreign objects after all. They cannot stop me."

Boom!

The shield fell to the ground and was caught by the gray substance extending from the ground. Ceria let go of the palm holding the shield, took out a bandage engraved with gold patterns, and wrapped it around her hand leisurely.

Snapped!

The bandage wrapped around the palm was forcibly torn off, and Gladia felt keenly that Ceria's aura changed at this moment.

If just now she was like an insurmountable mountain, now she is like a sharp blade out of body, unable to conceal its sharpness.

Could it be that the shield is actually some kind of seal for her?

"Wait a minute...give me 30 seconds."

The gentle voice diluted the screams and whispers spreading in the darkness, and Ceria's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, turning into pure golden vertical pupils.

Click!

The solid ground blessed by the spell could not bear the heavy pressure, and the broken marks spread several meters, and the white-haired Vaifan disappeared from the spot.

The next second, golden light suddenly appeared in the black fog!

The mass of flesh entangled with scarlet tentacles emerged from the darkness, and the gray-white phantom approached him like an arrow from a string. The enamel made of magic flowed to the arm and solidified into sharp barbs.

boom!

Explosive sound!

The materialized shock wave opened up layers of black mist, and Seria's arm instantly penetrated into the inside of the demonic aberration. The tentacles stained with filth danced wildly, and the huge force they carried even drove out fine cracks in the hard enamel, and the deep shadows expanded. It entangled and tried to erode the enemies in front of it, but they were all washed away by the glow of the golden lines clinging to the gray-white shell.

Ceria, who was wrapped in countless tentacles, remained unmoved. She still stood upright and used her arms to lift up the demon and smash it to the ground.

Woo!

The whistling sound came instantly, and the flesh-and-blood spear that pulled out the afterimage was stabbed from behind, but Ceria caught it with her backhand and just held it, no matter how much it trembled, it could not break free.

"I... don't have time to play around with you."

A cold voice was exhaled as he breathed out, the pure golden vertical pupils widened with anger, and the aberrant body that attacked from behind was directly dragged out with great force.

Whoa!

The gray color covers the earth, rolling like a tide, stacked up layer by layer, forming a huge gray wave rolling inward, with sharp thorns protruding from it, like steel nails, or like the mouthparts of a giant beast densely covered with fangs. Bite the two aberrations hard, swallow them into your mouth, bite and chew.

crunch... crunch...

The huge gray waves split into long ropes, twisted and braided, and solidified into a coiled cocoon. The cracking and squeezing sounds of flesh and bones flowed out together with scarlet blood, flowing out from the gaps in the cocoon.

Snapped……

The gray-white cocoon shattered and scattered, and the aberrant body transformed by the inner guard disappeared, leaving only finely minced meat and mud on the ground, mixed with blood, and blooming blood-red flowers.

The cold wind blew quietly, and the dark sky suddenly shattered, sinking into the dark realm and collapsing, revealing the cold snowfield outside.

He casually shook off the minced meat stained on his arm, and the gray-white substance rolled up from the ground, leaving a clean passage.

Ceria stepped out slowly, untied the blood-stained bandage wrapped around her palm, and threw it behind her.

call!

The blazing golden flames exploded instantly, covering the bloody ground in the blink of an eye. The scorching wind waves spread around, blowing up a few strands of white hair.

What a handsome woman!

Lemuan, who was holding the gun, had bright pink eyes, as if there was a flash of light.

The two Ursus internal guards were easily dealt with?

The golden trees are indeed monsters!

Strong and decisive, anyone who sees the battle process will have a feeling of "Is the inner guard too weak?" instead of thinking that Seria is too strong.

But Lemuan, who had just fought against the inner guard, had a deep understanding of the inner guard's strength, so she could better understand the strength of this woman.

It's like a burly adult trying to teach a child who is learning to talk, and his movements are all calm.

This must be the backbone elite within the Golden Tree, right?

When a certain friend with many nicknames came up, Lemuan wrinkled her nose, feeling a little disgusted for some reason.

Compared with this one, Fiametta's 'veteran' who claims to have joined the Golden Tree a long time ago is such a waste. He has not made much progress compared to the past, but his ability to withstand beatings is much stronger.

You're also an operator of the Golden Tree, and they're so fierce. How can you learn how to take a beating?

Shame!

"The inside defenders are probably just forwards and we have to get out of here right away."

After easily disposing of the two aberrations, Ceria's expression remained calm, as if she had killed two bugs casually without paying any attention to them.

She handed the long stick she picked up to Gladia, looked into the distance, and said solemnly: "Your judgment should be correct. This place will soon become a battlefield for large armies. With the strength of our team, Can’t stay any longer.”

"Loretta has obtained some information. Ursus' army is already on the way, numbering around [-]. The forward troops will arrive at some unknown time."

The golden earrings swaying in the wind shone faintly, and Fiametta's voice sounded from them. Lemuan's expression changed, and she quickly asked: "There are still two inner guards at the fortress, shall we go over to respond now?"

"No, they can't beat Skadi."

Holding her weapon in her hand, Gladia shook her head slightly and frowned: "The army of 4 people must be reported immediately to let Thearesia prepare. Otherwise, if they enter here, they may end up with Ursa. Sri Lanka's army collided head-on."

"Our mission this time has no way to end."

"Inform Skadi and the others to come over and rendezvous after defeating the enemy. You go first. I am the fastest. You can stay and continue to collect intelligence."

"can."

Seria thought for a moment and nodded.

Retreat is of course necessary. The size of the 4-strong army is not something they can compete with head-on. However, it is not possible to evacuate all of them. In that case, all their previous efforts will be in vain. Not only will the destroyed border defenses be After reconstruction, we have not been able to collect any intelligence about the enemy.

It would be appropriate for Gladia to stay. She is very fast and Ursus' long-range attacks cannot be locked on. No one can catch up if she wants to leave.

Moreover, the goal of a single person is small and it is not easy to get stuck here.

"Hurry up and notify others, how can they be so fast?!"

Lemuan's shout interrupted the conversation between Ceria and Gladia. The girl set up the gun, aimed in a certain direction, and pulled the trigger.

Seria followed the sound and her pupils suddenly shrank.

In an extremely distant position, a drone painted in black and red is hanging high in the sky!

That is, the harbinger of imperial artillery fire!

Drones operated by Ursus Army artillery technicians are used to guide long-range attacks by artillery units. This thing is officially registered in various countries. Rheinland Life, which is also good at drone technology, once targeted this special military The unit collected a lot of intelligence.

Its appearance means that Ursus' artillery unit is approaching.

According to the latest data obtained before the disintegration of Rhine Life, Ursus' new artillery has a maximum range of more than ten kilometers. In other words, they can completely achieve outside-of-sight bombing, and this place may be covered by artillery fire at any time!

……

Bang!

The heavy dark gold sword pinned the inner guard to the wall. Skadi, who was holding the hilt of the sword, suddenly felt something. He looked up at the sky and saw the drone floating in the sky.

Before she could distinguish it carefully, a stream of light burst out, accurately hitting the center of the drone and shooting it down from the air.

Immediately afterwards, golden leaves appeared out of thin air, bringing a message from Gladia.

'Enemy's long-range artillery fire may arrive at any time, evacuate immediately! '

The brief message was full of urgency. Skadi hesitated, took out the fire from his pocket and threw it on the dead body of the inner guard, and threw the blade in his hand to Lin Qingyan.

She didn't want to waste her brain energy on this kind of thing and simply let others decide what to do.

In fact, she didn't feel any fear at all from the long-range artillery fire that might fall on her head at any time. With her strength, even if she stood still, such a thing wouldn't be able to blow her up to death.

Naturally, it doesn't matter if a person of high skill is bold.

However, others were not so calm. After reading the information on the leaf, Lin Qingyan passed the leaf to Kristen and said without hesitation: "Let's leave now! Skadi, please carry Kristen on your back." Teng.”

If they were really bombed by Ursus' long-range artillery, they would not be as strong as Skadi, and they would have to lose their skin even if they didn't die. Although I don't know why Ursus' army is so fast, but now there is no It's time to think about it carefully, and seizing the time to evacuate is the right thing to do.

Buzz!

The hum of the propeller came from afar, and the sound was small. Christen followed the sound and looked around. Hundreds of drones appeared densely from the end of the horizon. Judging from the sound transmitted here, it was obviously overloaded. The running state increases the speed to the extreme.

She saw it, and Lin Qingyan naturally saw it more clearly. His face suddenly turned pale and he shouted in a hurry: "Come on, hurry up!"

"I'll carry her on my back. She might not be able to bear Skadi's movements."

Laurentina glanced over there, reached out and pulled Kristen into her arms, hugged her like a princess, and jumped directly from the top of the dilapidated fortress. Lin Qingyan quickly followed.

Skadi blinked his eyes, and his eyes fell on the barbecue on the fire that was not extinguished. He touched his belly. In the end, he couldn't hold it back. He grabbed the roasted meat and took a few bites of it despite the scorching heat. He stuffed it into his mouth before jumping down.

……

"How's it going."

"Reporting to the commander, our station has been breached by the enemy. The number of enemy troops is unknown. The drones only detected three targets and were destroyed. It will take some time for the remaining drones to confirm the situation on the scene."

In the vast snowfield, fully armed Ursus soldiers lined up and assembled long-range artillery in an orderly manner.

The warlocks held staffs shaped like oversized handles, driving drones for remote reconnaissance and preparing to guide fire. The adjutant held a military tablet with scrolling data while reading and answering.

Beside him, the commander with several medals hanging on his chest looked into the distance with a telescope, pondering for a moment, and the ruthless look in his eyes disappeared.

"No need to confirm, just cover that area with firepower!"

"But, sir, without a precise target, a covering strike may not be possible..."

"Then blast a few more rounds!"

"Yes!"

……

"There are too many. I can't knock them all down."

Pulling the trigger and shooting down another Imperial Artillery Harbinger, Lemuan took a breath and put down the gun.

At such a long distance, she had just experienced another high-intensity battle. Killing 5 drones in a short period of time was her current limit. No matter how many more, she would be beyond her power.

Fortunately, in the current situation, there is no need to deal with all the drones. You only need to kill the ones flying at the front to delay time.

On the snowfield, Fiametta and Skadi have already approached, and they can evacuate directly after meeting.

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw large 'dark clouds' flying in the distant sky.

From a long distance away, the roar that tore through the air could already be heard in my ears.

Where are the dark clouds? They are clearly a barrage of dense artillery shells, numbering at least a thousand!

"It's carpet bombing!"

Similar attack methods were spread from Rutland. Lemuan just took one look and knew what they were going to face, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Without distinguishing the precise target, she directly strikes a large area with indiscriminate coverage. Although this will disperse the power, the damage caused cannot be underestimated. Even if only one shell falls next to her, she does not feel that her body can Can bear it.

"Don't panic! Come behind me!"

Ceria picked up the shield again and stood at the front, her expression unchanged. It seemed that nothing in this world could shake her. Even the bombing could not make her panic at all.

Boom!

The shield fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of snow. The orange-red field extended from under the feet, shrinking within a few meters. The solid enamel condensed and rolled, rising from the ground, condensing into a huge shield, blocking everyone's heads, layer by layer, The edges are bent and extend downward.

Woo!

The whistling sound resounded through the sky, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke rolled down along with the wind and waves. Fiametta, who was speeding over, didn't care much, and rolled on the spot in embarrassment, rolling to the bottom of the shield.

Skadi, who was further away, stopped and reached out to grab Laurentina who was holding Christen and Lin Qingyan who was running in front, and threw them like discus from a distance of hundreds of meters. Under Ceria's shield, she took off the sword from behind and hid her body behind the broad blade.

The enamel rolled like mud, dripping from the edge of the shield and piercing the ground, sealing the small space where everyone was.
