The first thousand five hundred and sixty-one chapters kill the weapon
"Thud, tug, tug..." Amidst the fierce gunfire, machine gunner Keir tightly held the trigger, not daring to relax at all.
He could feel the violent shock transmitted to his shoulders by the recoil.
The red bullet shot into the dark stone crevice and immediately disappeared into the darkness. Although he couldn't see clearly, Kil was sure that he hit something. Because there were constant piercing screams from inside.
outgoing.
Keir didn't dare to relax and fired desperately inside.
After just a while, all the 200-round ammunition belts were used up. Kiel immediately shouted: "Change bullets~!"
Assistant shooter Weir hurriedly took off a bullet belt from his body, opened the receiver and pressed it inside. Because he was too nervous and had practiced the action thousands of times, he actually became rusty and failed to load it even after pressing it twice.
At this time, several other people raised their rifles and kept shooting into the cave to suppress possible enemies inside.
At this time, the squad leader, who was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, took advantage of the machine gun's ceasefire and jumped up from the ground.
He was as nimble as a monkey, running wildly towards the cracks in the rocks. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat, everyone, retreat~!"
After the ammunition belt was loaded, Kiel eagerly smashed the receiver cover, pulled the bolt, and prepared to continue firing. However, when he heard the order to retreat, he picked up the machine gun and turned around and ran away.
This is one of the benefits of machine gunners. When retreating, they are always given priority and are the first to retreat. After finding a bunker, they turn around to cover the retreat of others.
The slope leading to the ground was very steep, and it was impossible to run up it directly. There was a rope hanging from the top. Kil was half lying on the ground, holding the rope with one hand, pushing hard on the ground with both feet, and climbing up awkwardly.
Deputy shooter Weir pushed his buttocks from behind and pushed him forward with all his strength.
He could hear the sounds coming from the cracks in the rocks behind him getting louder and louder, and he didn't know how many things were following behind.
Without the powerful firepower of the machine guns, the rifles alone could only provide cover and fire, and were unable to suppress those things hidden in the darkness.
The squad leader fired two more shots into the darkness, then pulled out the grenade from his waist and shouted: "Grenade~!"
The soldiers put down their rifles in unison, took out the grenades, then pulled the fuse and threw them into the hole with all their strength.
Immediately, everyone held their heads in their hands and lowered their bodies as low as possible.
A few seconds later, a loud "rumbling..." sound was heard.
An explosion of fire burst out from the cracks in the stone, and thick smoke roared out from inside with a heat wave. The gravel fell like a heavy rain, making a crackling sound and causing pain when it hit the body.
However, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 1st Company and 2nd Platoon did not care about this. They let the stones fall on them, turned around and rushed towards the slope, grabbing the ropes and climbing and running up.
Anyway, stones can't hit people, so if they run slowly, they might die.
They had just jumped to the ground, and before they could take a breath, the squad leader threw the remaining three grenades on his belt into the ground at once. Not enough, he also took the grenades from the two soldiers next to him and threw them away one after another.
Go in.
Then he jumped out a few meters away, crouched behind a rock and waited for the explosion.
Before he could stand still, he heard a violent explosion.
The smoke of the explosion rushed out from the ground, and at the same time, a large amount of gravel was sprayed out, scattering in all directions, causing the surrounding soldiers to scream and hurriedly escape.
But fortunately, after the explosion, there was silence all around, and except for the whistling wind, there was no sound at all.
The soldiers stood around the pit, all staring at the bottom of the pit eagerly. If there was any movement, they would fire immediately. But they waited for a long time, until the smoke in the hole cleared, but there was still no movement.
Everyone couldn't help but become suspicious: What is going on?
At this time, the company commander of a company quickly ran over from one side.
He grabbed the squad leader and shouted at him: "What did you find down there?"
The squad leader had a frightened expression on his face, shook his head blankly and said: "I don't know, there is something down there anyway.
We walked along the passage for dozens of meters, and then I felt something moving in front of me. The thing was very big and there were many of it, like a hornet's nest. I felt something was wrong and stepped back, and the things inside chased us..."
The company commander scolded angrily with a dark face and said: "What the hell, what are you talking about, how do you expect me to report it to the superiors?"
The furious company commander was about to scold this idiot severely when someone next to him shouted, "Hey, boss, you'd better come and take a look at this."
The company commander couldn't help but be startled, then he left the squad leader and walked over.
I saw a few soldiers surrounding something on the ground, with very strange expressions on their faces. When they saw the company commander approaching, they took a step back and made room in the middle.
The company commander lowered his head and looked at the ground and asked, "What did you find?"
"That's it, boss." One of the soldiers tapped his foot to indicate a black bent branch about a foot long on the ground.
The company commander frowned and was ready to yell: These bastards, even a branch is worth making a fuss about!
Although the surface vegetation in the wasteland is sparse, there are many vine-like plants growing underground, and it is normal for them to be blown up by explosions.
The soldier squatted down and stretched out two fingers. He carefully picked up the branch from the ground with just his fingertips. He shook it in front of the company commander and said, "I think this thing is alive."
From one end of the branch, thick green liquid droplets were dripping down. The viscous liquid stretched out a long line, and white flesh was exposed on the head, which looked like tendons.
The company commander couldn't help being surprised, and then looked attentively.
I saw that there were dense barbs growing on the surface of the branch, which were not only hard, but also extremely sharp. Obviously, this could not be a vine.
The company commander said a little crazy: "What is this?"
"I think it looks like... maybe it should be the leg of some kind of insect." A soldier in the crowd murmured in a low voice.
"Hi~!"
Suddenly there was a gasp of cold air all around.
If one leg of an insect is only this big, then the entire body must be hundreds of times larger.
Someone said in confusion: "One leg is only so big, this bug must be at least as big as a pig~!"
"Hey, if you say it, if you catch it and kill it, won't there be meat to eat?"
"Kill you big-headed ghost. It would be nice if you don't get killed by such a big insect and eat its flesh."
"..."
Kil swallowed his saliva, covered his mouth and rubbed it vigorously, then looked at the squad leader and comrades next to him.
Everyone was the same as him, their faces turned pale with fear. When they thought that they had just been surrounded by a group of unknown pig-sized insects, and almost all of them were fed by insects, they felt frightened.
Kil thought for a while, silently took out his cigarette, lit it and took a puff, then put it into the mouth of Weir, who was looking dull, and patted his shoulder hard.
The company commander was silent for a moment, then turned around and shouted nervously: "Come here, go blow up this hole for me. Pay attention to the warning. The messenger, please report to the superiors as soon as possible, we found some strange things."
"Yes~!" Everyone agreed and took action one after another.
Several engineers drilled several holes around the mountain walls on both sides of the stone crevice, filled them with explosives, and then detonated them.
The collapsed rocks will fill up half of the cave, blocking the passage in the cracks. In this way, even if there are monsters in the cave, they will not be able to get out.
The messenger quickly informed the regiment headquarters in the rear, where there was a radio station to contact the Sailfish camp.
More than an hour later, a squadron roared in from a distance and landed on the rocky beach. A large group of people walked down from it.
Kiel and the rest of the Skeleton Division stood watching from a distance. The first thing that appeared was a group of armored Orc grenadiers.
Behind them were more than a dozen wizards and priests in robes. All of them held staffs in their hands, and the magic crystals on the ends of the staffs shone with various lights in the sun. It was obvious at a glance that these were extremely powerful men.
Role.
The combination of armored grenadiers and mages has always acted as a reserve team. Whenever there is a situation, they will fly there as soon as possible to put out the fire.
What surprised the soldiers of the Skeleton Division was that there was a pretty figure in the crowd, and it turned out to be a woman.
There were only a few female surnames on the front line and at Camp Sailfish, and most of them were crew members of the War Fortress.
However, the soldiers were very familiar with this slim woman.
She has long blue hair and always has a naive and innocent smile on her face. She is the young and beautiful Miss Vera, Lord Lorraine's personal secretary, or personal monitor.
According to the legend of the security forces, Miss Vera followed Lord Lorraine inseparably. It was under the order of the boss's wife, Princess Catherine, to prevent Lord Lorraine from stealing food outside.
The soldiers couldn't help but be shocked. Now that Miss Vera is here, then...
They all looked at the person next to Vera in unison.
As expected, the person standing next to Miss Vera was the target of her close surveillance, Lord Lorraine, the big boss of the security army.
Lord Lorraine walked down from the war fortress, took a deep breath of the cold air, and suddenly felt refreshed.
Vera behind her was wearing a warm-looking fur coat and a tall gray-blue fur hat. She let out a breath of white air, rubbed her white and tender hands, and looked around curiously.
In this large-scale search operation, the three main divisions of the security army assumed the most important tasks and were always at the forefront. Their powerful firepower was enough to reassure Lord Lorraine.
Ever since he discovered the cave-snatching monster from the demonic world, Lord Lorraine had become interested in similar things. When he heard the telegram from the Skeleton Master about the discovery of the monster, Lord Lorraine immediately decided to take a trip himself.
After discovering the strange insect legs, the company commander of the first company led the entire company to carefully search the ground within the explosion range, and found many strange things, all of which were sent to Lorraine at this moment.
Spread on the ground were half of an insect's legs, several curved carapace fragments, and a plier-like thing covered with inverted teeth.
Lord Lorraine squatted down and observed these things carefully. He picked up the big pliers-like thing and knocked it hard. He found that they were as hard as iron. From the appearance, this thing looked like the mouthparts of an insect.
If you were bitten by these pair of pliers, your bones would be broken instantly.
Judging only from these remains, they may belong to one or several dangerous creatures.
Lorraine looked up at Vera, who shook her head with a grimace and said, "I have no impression, I can't tell."
It was really hard for Vera to figure out what kind of animal it was just from a few pieces of wreckage. In fact, even experienced biologists might not be able to tell what kind of animal it was just from the wreckage.
Lord Lorraine threw down the remains of the monster, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's find the monster."
Orc grenadiers and mages immediately took action, searching carefully along the gaps in the ground.
Under the surface, the stone cracks are wide enough for two people to walk side by side, but on the ground, they are only as wide as a palm, and they are still intermittent.
The mages, on the other hand, used spells such as the Mage's Eye to conduct in-depth investigations, guiding everyone to explore northward along the cracks in the rocks.
Finally, an hour later, the mage discovered something strange underground. He threw an orange smoke bomb here and reported back to Lorraine. He found a big hole underground. There seemed to be something moving inside, but there was no light and nothing.
Can't see.
Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "Can it explode?"
The engineer captain next to him asked the mage carefully about the geological structure of the stone crevice, and then patted his chest and assured: "It can be exploded. The inverted funnel shape in the ground can be filled with explosives in the stone crevice and at several different points. The entire cave can be exploded."
The roof collapsed."
Lord Lorraine approved the engineer captain's plan, and with the assistance of the mages, the engineer team worked with extremely high efficiency.
They first mapped out the general scope of the cave, avoiding the thick rocky areas at the top and focusing on weak spots.
There are ready-made explosives on the war fortress - when dealing with underground monsters before, I found that the power of grenades is a bit weak now. Therefore, the current Orc grenadiers are too embarrassed to go out without carrying a few boxes of explosives.
Worried that the explosives would not have enough explosive power, the engineers even used a heavy bomb from a war fortress.
After completing these arrangements, everyone retreated two miles away, and the war fortress flew into the air to monitor from a high position.
The engineer captain installed the detonating wire and detonator, and then gave the power to light the extra-large firecracker to Lord Lorraine.
Lord Lorraine didn't feel anything, but Vera was very interested and eager to try next to her. She couldn't help but rub her little hands back and forth.
"It's better you do it." Seeing this, Duke Luo couldn't help but dent her positive attitude, so he immediately gave up his position in front of the detonator.
Vera cheered and said: "Master, you are the best."
Then he squeezed Lorraine to the side, raised his white and tender hands and blew a breath. He held the handle with both hands, stared forward, and pressed it hard.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of flames was seen rising into the sky in the distance. Vibrations were heard from the ground, and the flames rolled up into the air. Only then did the "rumbling" explosion sound come.
There was a roar that resounded throughout the world, and rubble flew all over the sky, even hitting the Skeleton Division soldiers two meters away.
It was not until more than ten minutes later that the smoke from the explosion gradually faded. Soldiers from the engineering team stepped forward first to check whether there were any explosive points.
A few minutes later, the engineering team made a safety signal to the rear, and Lord Lorraine and the men of the Skeleton Division approached.
The ground has collapsed into a large pit with a diameter of tens of meters. The pit is filled with stones. From the bottom of the pit to a height of twenty or thirty meters from the ground, it can be seen that the underground space is huge.
The soldiers of the Skeleton Division raised their middle fingers toward the bottom of the pit and yelled excitedly.
But Lord Lorraine in the crowd was in trouble. It seemed that all the monsters were buried under thousands of tons of rocks. How to catch one for identification?
Do you want soldiers to turn over these stones?
Thinking about it, I know it's impossible.
The prince curled his lips, it seems that today's trip will be in vain.
When Lorraine turned around and wanted to leave, there was a clattering sound from the rocks at the bottom of the pit, and rocks kept rolling.
"There's something down there~!"
Someone exclaimed, everyone cheered, and they all crowded to the edge of the pit, stretching their necks and looking down.
More and more stones were rolling, and something was trying to push away the pile of rubble above.
The soldiers above looked at each other with surprise on their faces. What kind of monsters are so tenacious that thousands of tons of rocks can't kill them?
With a "hoo!", a black figure sprang out from the rocks, jumped onto the surface of the pile of rocks, and let out a sharp "chichi" cry.
"Monster~!" A scream came from the crowd, and someone raised a gun and shot at the monster.
The monster was shot twice and fell to the ground, with green liquid flowing out of its body.
At this time, Lorraine could see clearly that it should be an insect, if there were insects bigger than wolf dogs in the world.
It seems to be a combination of the head of an ant and the tail of a cockroach. The head has a mouthparts like a large pincer, a pair of sharp claws in front of the body, and six black legs behind it.
Before Lord Lorraine could ask Vera what it was, the pile of rubble suddenly broke open, and countless monsters like this poured out of it like fountains, making noisy screams.
The soldiers of the Skeleton Division were all startled. They picked up their weapons and shot at these huge insects.
But there were too many of them. They crawled out of the rubble in an endless stream, climbed up the rock wall of the pit, and quickly climbed up. The large pliers in their mouths opened and closed, making a clicking sound.
It's like a demonstration.
Lord Lorraine thought to himself: It seems that he has really dug a hornet's nest or a monster's nest.
Facing the monsters pouring out like a fountain, the firepower of the rifles was obviously not enough, and the soldiers had already begun to throw grenades inside.
The officer shouted loudly: "Back off, back off, make room for shooting~!"
To deal with them, machine guns are the best choice.
The Orc Grenadier stood in front of Lorraine with a machine gun in his arms, urging Lorraine to retreat to a safe area.
Lord Lorraine disagreed. He patted the Orc Grenadier leader beside him and said, "Isn't this just right? Go try your new toy."
The commander of the Grenadier Corps grinned excitedly, showing his yellowed teeth, and roared: "Young boys, go and move our new guy out~!"
He also shook his hat and strode back into the war fortress. When he came out again, he was holding a long metal pipe in his hand, and there was a thin pipe under the pipe, burning with blue flames.
Carrying a huge backpack.
It can be seen that the equipment is very heavy and he takes every step very slowly.
A dozen orcs with the same equipment as him walked with heavy steps towards the monster against the retreating crowd.
The officers of the Skeleton Division were jumping up and down behind, and these stupid guys just blocked the sight of the machine gunner.
The first monster jumped out of the pit, opened its jaws and let out a scream, then rushed towards the nearest target. Behind it, dozens of large insects followed in an instant.
The orc holding the metal pipe in his hand laughed ferociously, and pulled the trigger under the pipe. With a "whoosh" sound, a fire dragon spewed out from the mouth of the pipe, covering a dozen large insects in blazing flames.
The flamethrower, a weapon developed by the Alchemy Research Institute a year ago, is locked in the warehouse as a technical reserve. When it comes to dealing with monsters, it is the first thing Lord Lorraine thinks of.
There is no more favorite weapon to deal with enemies in caves than the flamethrower.
Others followed suit and opened fire, and more than a dozen fire dragons surrounded the pit, setting fire to all the monsters that climbed up.
The Orc Grenadier holding a flamethrower laughed heartily, spraying flames and shooting left and right. All the monsters that rushed up were spared and were ignited by the flames.
There was a scream from the flames, like a monster rubbing against glass. The ignited monster was wrapped in a ball of fire and rushed out of the fire dragon from the jet, but fell to the ground within a few steps and turned into a burning corpse.
Orc grenadiers armed with flamethrowers advance step by step, killing all monsters caught in the deadly fire net.
In the end, a dozen people stood on the edge of the pit again, spraying flames into the pit until they ran out of fuel.
The bottom of the pit turned into a burning brazier.
