The first thousand five hundred and seventy-four chapters are generous
‘Boom, boom boom…’ One violent explosion after another sounded around the No. 2 Military Station.
Dozens of explosion plumes rose into the sky surrounding the military station.
Mushroom clouds rose high into the sky and spread slowly.
The smoke generated by the explosion was so dense that it completely covered the sky like dark clouds, making the inside and outside of the No. 2 Military Station suddenly dark.
In the violent explosion, countless tons of earth, rocks and monster corpses were lifted into the sky and then sprinkled around.
'Wow...' There was a hail of stones that lasted for several minutes in the No. 2 Military Station. Massive amounts of gravel and the broken bodies of monsters fell from the sky, accumulating a thick layer in the No. 2 Military Station, which could almost submerge the insteps of their feet.
.
When the smoke dissipated slightly, people stuck their heads out one after another and looked outside, and all of them suddenly took a breath of air.
Surrounding the No. 2 Military Station, a deep black crater with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared. It looked like the ground after being hit by a meteorite.
A breeze blows, and you can see faint green smoke rising from those deep pits. Within a few dozen meters around, all living things have disappeared.
There is neither a death knell beetle nor a giant hammerhead beetle, only the remains of body parts and meat to prove that they once existed.
The explosion zone revealed a blank space of more than 100 meters wide. Even the monsters that were not affected by the explosion seemed to be frightened by the explosion. At this moment, they all curled up and lay motionless on the ground.
There was a brief moment of tranquility in the originally noisy battlefield. Even the everlasting north wind on this land stopped at this moment.
Although Lester was in the center of the military station, far away from the explosion points, it took him more than ten seconds to wake up from the dizziness caused by the explosion.
Despite this, there was still a buzzing in my ears, as if the continuous explosions had not stopped.
He picked out his ears and stared dumbfoundedly at an explosion crater in the distance that was like a moat. The giant hammer-headed beetles that had just threatened the wall of the No. 2 Military Station had been completely wiped out.
Lester thought to himself that even if he cast spells with all his strength, he would not be able to achieve the results he had now. If he wanted to eliminate all the giant hammer beetles, he would have to spend a lot of time. And this was without interference from the opponent.
But think about it, this is impossible.
The enemy is pressing heavily on the territory, and there must be some masters hiding in the dark to spy on you. When you can't hold it any longer and attack with all your strength, they will suddenly rush out and sneak attack you while you are unprepared.
He grabbed Lorraine and asked loudly: "How did you do it?"
Lorraine shrugged slightly and said lightly: "Just bury a ton of explosives in each place."
When Depot No. 2 was first identified as the battlefield, the engineering troops began to make various targeted arrangements, strengthening warehouses and forts, including planting explosives around the fortress.
This idea originally came from a staff officer, who suggested using explosives to dig a moat. Although it was not approved by the staff, it gave Lord Lorraine inspiration.
"A ton of explosives..." Lester flattened his mouth and whispered, "What a big deal."
The explosion just now consumed at least hundreds of tons of explosives.
Except for Lorraine, no one can really play it.
Lester did not expect that Lorraine would pull this trick, and buried hundreds of tons of explosives.
He couldn't think of it, and probably no one on the enemy side could think of it either.
Sure enough, as Lorraine said, this is indeed a killer move that works wonders.
"This kid is really cunning." Lester looked at Lorraine and muttered in his heart. He was even inspired. When fighting with others in the future, laying a mine or something in advance will definitely have miraculous effects.
At the same time, looking at the huge pits on the battlefield, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, remembering the prophecy I had inadvertently made: the future must be dominated by alchemists.
The silence on the battlefield lasted for a short time, and then it became noisy again. They all made squeaking screams, and the sounds gathered together, like muffled thunder, making people feel heartbroken and extremely uncomfortable.
Although the insect wave encountered tenacious resistance from humans, and countless people were killed and injured, they still had a huge numerical advantage.
Seeing this, the officers roared angrily: "Brothers, pick up the guy. The enemy is coming up soon."
"Boys, cheer up. When the battle is over, I'll treat you to a big dinner."
"Kill all these bastards for me."
"..."
Each and every one of them was filled with murderous intent and kept roaring at the top of their lungs in the trenches to cheer up the soldiers under their command.
Amidst their scolding and kicking, the tired soldiers cheered up, gritted their teeth, and raised their guns again. When they were ready to fight, they saw...the black insect tide suddenly retreated.
The sudden situation made everyone in the military station stunned. By the time they thought of beating the drowned dog, the bug had already run far away and completely retreated out of the range of the cannon.
Lester breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The enemy has retreated."
Lord Lorraine couldn't help but let out a long breath, showed a victorious smile, and said: "There is no other way, so naturally it's time to retreat."
Facing the enemy's fierce attack, he didn't have many trump cards left. Therefore, he felt a little unsure.
However, as a role model for the three armies, the Duke has been standing under his own banner since the beginning of the war, as tall as a mountain, with a domineering air. The soldiers under his command can clearly see it as long as they turn around.
Behind him, a young staff officer rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, do you want the brothers to rush out and give chase?"
Lorraine glared at the young staff officer angrily and said, "Okay, then this glorious and arduous task will be left to you. Who do you think is willing to go out with you?"
The staff officer quickly shook his head and said nonchalantly: "That's what I said."
As soon as the insect tide receded, the soldiers in the No. 2 Military Station suddenly felt tired and weak, and they didn't even have the energy to cheer for victory.
Faced with the impact of monsters like a tsunami, one after another, whether it was the Skeleton Division, the Caribbean Division, the Orc Grenadier Regiment, or the mages of Maple Leaf Danlin, they all used their own strength.
Use your strength and fight tooth and nail to destroy the enemy.
As soon as the battle ended, the first thing they did was sit on the ground and catch their breath.
Even the sorcerers who were known to be mysophobic did not care about the ground in the fortress that was full of insect fragments. They sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated, or simply took out potions to restore their mana as quickly as possible.
Lord Lorraine stretched his waist, pinched his neck, and said, "I can finally have lunch in peace."
Lester looked at the insect corpses scattered on the battlefield and sighed: "This battle was really not easy~!"
Although the enemy is an insect, it is very cunning and has several powerful methods hidden behind it.
On the Allied Forces side, all the services took turns to go into battle, including infantry, artillery, bombers and fighter jets. Only then could they block the enemy's insect sea tactics.
For a long time, Grand Mage Lester, out of the pride of a magician, insisted that he could conquer the world with his powerful magic alone. He even thought that if he acted on his own, he could defeat the enemy by rolling his face on the keyboard.
Now, Lester has finally realized the power of systemic warfare that Lorraine said.
In today's battle, the performance of both sides was remarkable.
The coalition forces have powerful firepower, complete units, and numerous surprise troops. If someone else were to be the opponent of the coalition forces, even millions of people would not be able to touch the edge of the fortress.
The insects are numerous, fearless and fearless, and come in many varieties. They are not inferior to the coalition forces.
If cold weapon troops were to be their opponents, even millions of them might be killed by insects.
In the future, this battle will go down in history and become a classic battle that will be passed down forever.
If you think about it deeply, without the artillery and machine guns of the Flying Eagle Group, and without the massive bombs, even if the expeditionary force pacified the Semites, they would definitely be defeated when they encounter the sea of insects in the wasteland.
With the failure of the expedition, the power of the undead will inevitably increase greatly. And the Semitic tribe, who has always been double-dealing, will definitely rush over at the first opportunity like his long-lost son, hugging the thigh of the undead high priest, crying and shouting, "
Dad, where have you been, Dad...'
Then he turned around, rushed towards the defeated coalition forces with a knife, and beat up the drowned dog.
The remaining remnants of the coalition forces can only retreat to the human continent, then fall apart and go home.
Hundreds of years later, the high priest of the undead gathered strength and came back, and then humans once again raised millions of troops to fight against him...
"This is life~!" Great Mage Lester sighed in his heart.
Taking advantage of the calm on the battlefield, the cook in the fortress served a high-calorie lunch to the soldiers.
The hot lunch was loaded directly into the big bucket and delivered to the battlefield by the cooking team.
Lord Lorraine also received a steaming lunch.
But looking at the sticky pink meat sauce on the plate and smelling the smell of hot oil, Lord Lorraine immediately lost his appetite and had no desire to even touch it.
He took a fork, fiddled with it a few times, and muttered: "This is simply a dark cuisine only found in the British Empire."
The lordship has lived well in recent years, and his appetite has long been spoiled by his girlfriends. This kind of high-fat, high-calorie mixed food has basically disappeared from the Lorraine family's dining table.
And as the top leader of the Flying Eagle Group, Lord Lorraine knew exactly what this military can was made of.
But fortunately, the Lord is now sitting in his headquarters and does not have to put on a show of being friendly to the people and swallow this terrible food in front of the soldiers.
Next to her, Vera was tearing open a pack of beef jerky with a smile, then took out a piece, chewing it with gusto with squinting eyes.
Lord Lorraine squeezed to Vera's side, rubbed his hands and said: "My dear, I want to discuss something with you..."
Miss Vera naturally knew what Lord Lorraine was thinking, so she held out three fingers without talking nonsense.
"Three times?" Lord Lorraine nodded, the price is quite reasonable.
After all, prices are now higher in the circulation link, especially in the last three kilometers of the wholesale market. Vera's status is not equivalent to that of a food tyrant who monopolizes the wholesale market.
Vera shook her hair, snorted softly, turned her head away from Lord Lorraine, and said: "I said thirty times."
Lord Lorraine curled his lips and said, "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Vera narrowed her eyes like crescent moons, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I'm just robbing you."
Lord Lorraine was chewing on a few packs of snacks he bought from Vera, but he saw that Lester next to him was eating with gusto. This kind of stewed food was just right for his appetite.
While eating, the old man scolded Lorraine and said, "You young people can't stand a little suffering. Think of me back then..."
Just when Lester was about to recount the history of his revolutionary family, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded outside.
Someone shouted loudly: "The bugs are coming again~!"
The soldiers who were eating cursed angrily, abandoned their jobs and rushed back to their respective posts, ready to fight.
Lord Lorraine jumped up, grabbed the binoculars and rushed out of the headquarters.
Vera also followed quickly, but when she passed Lorraine's seat, she pulled her little hand. The few packs of snacks that Sir Lorraine had just bought at a high price suddenly disappeared.
Luo Tian stood on the roof of the headquarters, looking down from a high position.
The black death knell beetles were seen moving towards the No. 2 Military Station again, but what surprised everyone was that there were not many of them, and more death knell beetles were still parked in the distance.
The enemy's strange behavior puzzled everyone.
A hundred or ten meters away from the No. 2 Military Station, the monster suddenly stopped.
The artillerymen came to ask Lord Lorraine whether to fire.
Lorraine held up the telescope and observed for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "No need."
Then he smiled and said, "Let me just say, even insects have to eat."
Through the telescope, he could clearly see that the death knell beetles crawling over did not continue to approach the fortress, but were devouring the remains of the monsters on the ground.
More and more death knell beetles slowly came over to look for food. In order to compete for food, many death knell beetles even fought.
Lorraine rubbed her chin and thought for a moment, then ordered to the staff behind her: "Fire the monster in front twice, not too many, just two."
The artillery quickly fired two shots at the monster approaching the fortress, blowing up dozens of death knell beetles.
When the gunfire sounded, the death knell beetles fled to the rear to hide.
But when the sound of the cannons stopped for a moment, they crawled back and gnawed on the corpses of the dead knell beetles.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
Lester saw Lorraine smiling very wickedly, and asked in confusion: "What did you find?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "One thing that is good for us."
When Lester asked again, Lord Lorraine refused to say anything more, only saying that he would wait until he had verified it.
For the rest of the time, the monsters surrounding the fortress did not attack again, and the sky gradually darkened until it was completely dark at last.
The place where the insect swarm was opposite was quiet except for a few occasional screams.
The lights inside No. 2 Military Station were brightly lit.
In order to avoid sneak attacks by monsters, several rounds of illumination bombs must be fired inside the fortress every two minutes.
The landing site of the War Fortress was illuminated by lights. The War Fortress, which had just participated in the bombing during the day, was now working as a transport aircraft, transporting the most important ammunition from the rear and evacuating the wounded at the same time.
The Eagle fighter jets escorting in the air had been worried about being attacked by flying insects at night, but fortunately, the enemy never appeared.
While the War Fortress was rising and falling, Lord Lorraine and Lester walked into a tunnel in the barracks wall.
The tunnel was narrow and low, and could only accommodate one person bending over. There were electric lamps hanging on the top. Due to insufficient voltage, those lamps all emitted a dim light.
There is still the smell of stone powder in the air, and there are fresh traces of excavation on the stone walls.
Apparently it was dug here not long ago.
After hitting his head again, Lester frowned and complained, "Why are you here?"
The air in the tunnel is dull, almost breathless.
Lord Lorraine said without looking back: "We'll be there soon."
In fact, it is very difficult to turn back in the tunnel.
Lester had no choice but to bend his back and continue walking patiently.
The tunnel is not long, only twenty or thirty meters. At the end of the tunnel, several soldiers are squatting against the stone wall.
Lorraine walked up to him, squatted down and asked, "How are you doing?"
Lester was surprised to find that the soldier leaning against the stone wall was holding a stethoscope and moving it little by little against the stone wall, listening carefully.
The soldier with the stethoscope nodded and whispered: "We have found something and we are still confirming it."
Lester asked in confusion: "What are you doing, kid?"
Lorraine stood up, took a few steps back with Lester, and whispered: "We are scouting the enemy's tunnels."
"Underground?" Lester was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that one of the skills of the death knell beetle is to dig holes.
"After the attack failed during the day, I think the enemy will definitely do something at night." Lord Lorraine said: "Based on the nature of the death knell beetles, I think they will definitely dig holes."
Lester nodded in approval. This is indeed something that many people have not thought of.
Just imagine that while the fighting was fierce on the ground, a group of death knell beetles suddenly passed through the tunnel, crawled out directly from the No. 2 Military Station, and then came to open fire in the middle. No matter how powerful they are, I am afraid that this fortress cannot be defended.
Already.
Lester was just confused as to why Lorraine had several people wear stethoscopes and listen to the walls in the tunnel, and asked: "Can they find the burrow of the death knell beetle?"
Lorraine explained patiently: "I have installed such tunnels in several directions of the military station. By summarizing the directions heard from different tunnels, I can roughly get the location of the enemy's hole."
Lester stroked his beard and smiled: "You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Lord Lorraine smiled modestly and thought to himself: I can't tell you, I learned this from watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Then he said: "After we determine the direction, we need you to take action."
Lester waved his hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
The two people returned to the ground, and the staff officer took out a map and marked the information collected from various tunnels on the map.
The tunnel dug by the Deathstroke Beetle was not in the north, but in the south of the camp. The purpose of the tunnel was to attack the east and the west.
Finally, the staff worked on the map to get a rough orientation, then took out a red pen and drew an oval circle on the map, indicating that it was inside. (To be continued...)
