Under the bombardment, the church's army became chaotic. The neat formation gradually separated, and Scourge, who was not affected by the outside world, began to run faster, leaving the Judgement Army behind.
Just then, Lightning noticed a strange scene.
A rider dressed as a priest quickly passed through the messy mountain road from the rear, his body flashing a striking yellow light. Wherever the yellow light went, the Judgement Army, which had been on the verge of collapse, stabilized and moved forward under the guidance of the rider. This time, they did not line up neatly, but scattered, so that the subsequent grenades did not achieve as good a result as they had at the beginning.
That was a pure witch!
She was about to call two cannons to attack the area where the pure witch was about to pass through, when she heard Maggie's scream.
"Watch out, coo!"
Lightning reflexively raised her body up more than ten meters. A swarm of locusts swept past her feet like a grayish-brown cloud.
When they missed, the mosquitoes twisted together and formed a vague human figure. "Degenerate bastards, how dare you go against the church. You're asking for death!"
"Maggie, continue to guide the cannons!" Lightning pulled down her goggles, pulled out her pistol and pointed at the swarm of insects. "Do you feel so proud to kill your own people? You're the ones who should die! "
...
The enemies entered Danny's field of vision. Unlike last time, they outnumbered him by several times this time. The gloss of the swaying armors filled the dusky wilderness. The God's Punishment Warriors did not adopt the tactic of advancing slowly with shields. Instead, they started sprinting at full speed from the very beginning.
Looking at the enemies charging at him from all over the mountains and wilderness, he actually felt the momentum of a flood. His palms couldn't help but break out in a thin layer of sweat, and the gun butt became sticky to the touch. He had only seen such a scene on the city wall during the Months of the Demons – thousands of demonic beasts, regardless of their own lives, would attack the city wall as if they were possessed. Anything that stood in their way would be mercilessly torn to shreds. Now, the First Army encountered enemies far more powerful than demonic beasts.
But Danny was not afraid. The reason why the demonic beasts could not break through the low stone wall was because of the bloody Militia Corps on the wall. Now, the army of the church would also be blocked by the First Army's defensive line of flesh and blood!
Moreover, the woman he wanted to protect was right behind the formation.
When Danny stepped into the trench in the morning, he saw a familiar green figure. She turned her head and smiled at him. Although he knew it was just a polite greeting, the smile still took root in his heart like a blooming flower bud.
He did not expect that she would also follow His Majesty to this battlefield.
No matter what, he would not let the enemy break through the defense line.
Unfortunately, after violating military discipline, Sir Iron Axe expelled him from the precision shooting team. Now, the weapon in his hand had been changed to a revolving rifle. Otherwise, he would have already taught these God's Punishment Army a lesson.
"They've crossed the 300-meter line!" Malt reported the distance of the target as if he was the protector. "Watch out for spears!"
"I can see it." Danny patted the short man's head. "Take care of yourself."
Malt was one of the people who had been implicated by him. After he recovered, the commander-in-chief demoted Malt back to an ordinary gunman on the grounds that he did not dissuade the shooters from obeying the discipline. However, because he was an accomplice, the short man was not fined a month's salary and was spared from confinement. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ △ Net]
It had to be said that this time, the enemy's attack was so fierce that the four machine gun forts could not completely suppress the charge of the God's Punishment Army. With the dust on the ground and the smoke caused by the field artillery, several holes appeared in the interwoven firepower net.
The God's Punishment Army at the front had crossed the warning red line of the gunmen.
"200-meter line, spear throw!"
"Get down!"
"Get down!"
Shouts rose one after another in the trench. Danny fired five bullets in one breath and then threw himself to the ground, not forgetting to replace the cartridge. After the spear throw, he got up and pulled the trigger at the nearest enemy.
At this distance, the power of a revolving rifle was not much lower than that of a new weapon. Danny could almost see the calm expression on Scourge's face, as if the surrounding artillery and gunfire had nothing to do with him. He did not stop trembling until the bullets pierced through his chest and neck and blew his head off. He fell down with blue blood spurting from his mouth.
More and more enemies rushed through the line of fire. Danny quickly emptied the three cartridges. According to the plan, he lifted his gun and retreated to the second trench.
When he followed his teammates into the entrance of the longitudinal trench, a black shadow fell from the sky. He saw a Scourge jump high over the barbed wire in front of the trench and slash at him with a big sword!
"Run —" He grabbed Malt behind him and pulled him into his arms.
A loud bang!
Danny suddenly felt the weight in his hand lighten, and he rolled back a few times.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that only half of Malt's body was left in his arms.
Malt looked at him and opened his mouth, but a few mouthfuls of blood gushed out. He could no longer say anything.
Danny only felt a buzz in his head. He shouted and raised his rifle, but Scourge had already pounced on him. He cut off both of Danny's arms with a horizontal sweep and then slashed at Danny's face.
At that moment, Danny could even see the rough, blood-stained edge of the sword.
Just when he thought he was going to die, another cold light flashed from the corner of his eyes and collided with the big sword from the bottom up, bursting out a series of sparks. This blow was so powerful that the God's Punishment Warrior's weapon was sent flying!
A woman appeared above the trench. Her long black hair was tied into a waist-length ponytail, and her eyes were shining with golden light. She looked like an insurmountable mountain.
Scourge, who had lost his big sword, did not flinch at all. Instead, he clenched his fist and punched at her.
The latter neatly knocked him to the ground, then walked up to the defenseless enemy and crushed his head with one foot.
The blue-white mixture splashed on Danny's face.
"Go."
She glanced sideways at the soldiers who were still in shock and spat out a word coldly. Then she fought with the other two Scourge who rushed up.
"This guy is hurt!"
"Carry him away!"
"Take Malt with you —" Danny said hoarsely. He wanted to hold the little man in his arms, but his bare arms could not hold anything.
"He's dead!" Someone shouted. "Do you want to kill all of us?"
The teammate who followed him put his broken hand in his arms and carried him back to the trench. The lifeless Malt gradually disappeared from Danny's sight.
...
Lightning increased her speed to the limit and once again went behind the swarm of insects and pulled the trigger.
She had figured out the details of her opponent. The swarm of insects seemed to be incorporeal, but killing each insect would make the pure witch lose part of her magic power. This was especially true when Maggie turned into the natural enemy of locusts — the mountain swallow. She constantly swept past the swarm of insects and forced them into a ball. Then she pulled out her pistol and fired a round of vicious curses and roars.
She could not hold on for much longer.
Just as Lightning pulled away and was about to reload, the locusts suddenly changed direction and rushed to the ground.
"Maggie!"
The little girl shouted.
"Ow —!"
The goshawk folded its wings and swooped down. Then a bloody mouth suddenly appeared under the swarm of insects.
"What, what is this? It's... impossible! " The sound of the locusts flapping their wings turned into a cry of surprise. They wanted to turn around and escape, but it was too late.
Maggie swallowed the insects effortlessly. She chewed twice and said, "Oh... not delicious."
Lightning shrugged and put the pistol at her waist. "Because you didn't roast them with fire or seasoning."
It was not until this moment that she noticed that there were several bloody wounds on her body. In the first test, she was scratched several times by the swarm of insects. The teeth of these locusts were as hard as files. If she was an ordinary person, it would be difficult for her to avoid such a flexible attack.
Looking at the slope full of craters and corpses, Lightning took a deep breath and said, "We don't need artillery to guide us here. Let's go and support His Majesty."
