Chapter 520 520: Entering the Decisive Battle Phase
Under the dim sky, a tide of flesh formed by ice spirits surged violently toward the defensive line constructed by the Church of Technology's clerics.
Countless artillery roared, and dense fire rained down on the tide.
After a brief delay, endless flames and shockwaves went crazy sweeping across these ice spirit tides.
Countless ice spirits turned to ash.
This was the situation at one of the Church of Technology's positions.
At another position not far away, a massive number of ice spirits with flying abilities appeared. Or rather, the ice spirits were riding "mounts" with flying abilities, crazily attacking the position.
Fighting these flying ice spirits wasn't as smooth.
A lot of artillery couldn't be used anymore. The Church of Technology's clerics wore War Soldier 3.0 power armor and continuously launched attacks at the monsters in the sky.
Compared to the neighboring position's sea of fire that looked like gods descending from heaven, their attacks seemed a bit weaker. They mainly used weak energy beams, bombarding the ice spirits with rays.
But these rays were still pretty powerful.
Just one hit could take down an ice spirit.
Once these ice spirits fell to the ground, other combat units would quickly go up and transport them to a heavy incineration tower to burn them to death.
The so-called heavy incineration tower was actually a combat unit developed specifically for this situation.
It was a massive, movable... fortress.
Carried by eight huge treads, it could go anywhere. It had a driver's cabin on top, and behind it was a huge furnace with a conveyor belt next to it.
Just toss the ice spirits on the conveyor belt, and it would throw them into the furnace, burning them to ash and completely purifying the enemy.
Pretty much every position had one of these units.
No matter where these guys who could dodge super incendiary bombs attacked from, they could quickly shoot them down and completely eliminate them.
Dozens of positions continuously bombarded these tide-like enemies with dense attacks. Under the heavy firepower, this wave's momentum was quickly wiped out by about 70-80%.
It looked like only a few individuals were still barely hanging on. They crawled through countless shell craters and seas of fire, unwavering as they charged toward the positions.
The Church of Technology's clerics didn't even need to actively clean these things up because they'd be completely swallowed by the sea of fire on their way over.
Those ugly monsters kept howling, and it seemed like they'd been repelled once again.
However, right then, something that surprised everyone appeared—a new batch of monsters appeared in their field of vision.
Even the battle-hardened Wolf General showed a flash of surprise on her face.
They'd just wiped out hundreds of thousands of monsters. How did so many suddenly appear again?
Was this offensive coming too hard and fast?
Or had more ice spirits gathered this time, forming wave-like attacks, coming in waves?
Even though she was surprised, the attacks didn't stop.
Everyone got ready again.
Ready to continue this endless attack.
For any warrior, this kind of stuff was actually within expectations.
You couldn't exactly expect war to be turn-based, right? Your move, my move?
While almost the same script was playing out, suddenly, a flying tech cleric sent a message.
They'd taken Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft deep into enemy territory and were shocked to discover that the rear seemed completely empty of ice spirits. It was like all the ice spirits had concentrated on this battlefield.
"What do you mean?" Wolf General's face showed surprise and shock.
"Literally what I said, General. It seems like the ice spirits have launched a full-scale attack..."
While a flying tech cleric was reporting what he saw, he suddenly felt his Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft shudder. A cold breath hit him in the face.
He immediately became alert. "I found him—the ice spirit king with magic abilities. He attacked me. Some areas of my aircraft are damaged."
"How is it? Can you still fly? Do you need backup? What are your coordinates?"
"Don't need it yet. I can still fly. I'm planning to drop the first incendiary bomb. You guys determine the position, then launch a remote strike there. Maximum firepower. My incendiary bomb probably won't be able to eliminate him."
They'd actually discovered a long time ago that among the ice spirits was a very special existence—one that could use ice magic.
It probably wasn't as strong as a legendary magician. Probably just about the level of a regular high-tier magician.
But his magic had a certain corrosive quality, plus he'd been hiding among the ice spirits the whole time, so they'd never been able to eliminate him.
After discussion by the tactical committee, this guy was very likely the ice spirit king, the strongest among the ice spirits. If they eliminated him, the ice spirits would probably have a hard time forming these tide-like attacks anymore.
They might not even be able to gather together anymore.
Some people in this group were so extreme that they believed that as long as they took out the ice spirit king, the ice spirits would disappear completely.
No matter which case it was, it would actually be really good for solving the problem north of the watch wall.
After saying that, the flying tech cleric dropped an incendiary bomb—a hellfire—then immediately flew away.
His Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft was severely damaged. He needed to evacuate quickly.
As time passed, the ice's corrosion on the Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft would get worse and worse. He had to return quickly for repairs. Otherwise, his Dragon Knight aircraft might even risk crashing.
He wasn't willing to take that risk.
One incendiary bomb, then quick evacuation.
Right after, endless artillery shells poured down on that location.
Roster Territory Group Company.
Viscount Roster had just finished meeting with that young man named William.
1 million dragon gold coins in exchange for 10% of the shares.
He was feeling pretty good about himself.
He was very optimistic about this investment.
This was a great opportunity.
This young man named William was also pretty decent.
Right after finishing the investment, he suddenly got contacted by Wolf General.
He was totally stunned.
She hadn't contacted him in a long time.
"What happened? Let me guess—you guys are short on weapons and ammo again? Or you need some new research?"
