Fang Zheng always did what he said. After saying goodbye to Nishizumi Miho, he returned to the battleship and took out a part of the tank inventory stored in the Azure Fleet and "rented" it to the ground armored forces of the United Army. Of course, what Fang Zheng took out was not a knockoff of the Erebonian Empire on the Cymria continent, but a real siege tank from the human race in StarCraft.
From every aspect, it is much stronger than the Type 59 siege tank manufactured by the Empire.
The Allied Forces naturally welcomed this. Of course, "lease" meant that the weapons had to be returned after the battle. However, for the people in this world, even being able to witness and use such advanced weapons with their own eyes could be considered a very cost-effective deal.
After a large number of troops gathered, the Blue Fleet began to advance. At the same time, the United Forces Command also launched an operational plan code-named "Blitzkrieg Berlin".
Basically, the battle mode is like this, the Azure Fleet is at the forefront to fight against the air force of Neloy. In the past, Neloy is best at gathering large air warships and then bombing the ground. At this time, if the witches of the coalition army cannot stop it, then the ground forces will be defeated.
But now, with the Azure Fleet, Neuroi's large aerial battleships have lost their threat. Even if they disperse again and turn into a cluster attack like small drones, Xing Baixian, Shiraha Yui Tsumugi and the guards' mechas they lead, as well as the 501 Witch Squad can deal with them.
After the Azure Fleet, the Army will advance on the ground. Of course, this does not mean that the Army can just stand by and cheer for them. Because although the Neuroi are afraid of water, they have a simulated form that can drill underground. Therefore, even the Army troops following closely behind may encounter attacks from underground.
This is why the witch unit was assigned to the navy. Although the reason is unknown, the Neroi will not enter the water, so at least it can prevent the opponent from simulating a warship or submarine to attack the target at sea. Therefore, using warships to transport witches is faster, and it is also relatively convenient and safe.
Since the goal of the Azure Fleet is to open the front line, even if the ground forces encounter an underground raid, they cannot turn around to help, so the ground forces must rely on themselves to deal with the Neuroi buried underground.
But Fang Zheng had thought of this. The Valkyries were sent to assist the ground troops. Not only that...
"Mr. Fang Zheng, are you going there in person as well?"
While directing the tank forward, Nishizumi Miho asked in surprise, looking at Fang Zheng who was yawning on the black motorcycle next to her.
"Sure. What's the problem?"
"But the fleet..."
"They will take care of it themselves over there. I haven't exercised for a long time, so I want to exercise occasionally."
"Me too!!"
At this moment, the Herrscher of Knowledge also flew over on a long sword. She stood on the huge sword and flew forward in a parallel posture with the chariot. Although the surrounding soldiers cast surprised glances at this, the Herrscher of Knowledge obviously didn't care.
"I didn't get enough fun fighting before, I must enjoy it this time! It's really the most exciting to fight on the ground."
The previous battle against Qijuzi in the universe really made the Herrscher of Consciousness feel depressed. Now that she is back on the surface, she says she can finally vent her feelings.
"Really? Remember our purpose."
On the other side, Bronya, who was driving the heavily armored bunny, said coldly. At this moment, the sky ahead was filled with the sound of explosions. It was obvious that the Azure Fleet had come into contact with the main force of Neloy and had begun fighting.
"We're not here to play."
"I know, but it doesn't matter... By the way!"
The Herr of Knowledge looked around, and then his eyes lit up.
"Let's have a race to see who's the fastest. Come on, three, two... go!"
However, the Herrscher of Consciousness didn't even shout "one", but instantly accelerated and flew forward on the giant sword.
"Wait, you're cheating!"
"Playing tricks is part of the game, come after me if you're not convinced!"
“…”
Hearing the answer from the Herrscher of Knowledge, Bronya's face darkened. At the same time, Fang Zheng also accelerated Fenrir and sped forward. Seeing this, Bronya did not say anything. The heavily armored bunny under her also spewed out flames and disappeared from the speeding armored convoy in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trace of flames.
“…”
Looking at the three people who had disappeared, Nishizumi Miho and her colleagues looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Strictly speaking, they were on the march, and leaving without permission was not allowed. They might even be brought to a military court... But... this couldn't affect them, right?
Accompanied by roars, three figures quickly shuttled through the dense forest.
The leader was naturally the Herrscher of Knowledge. She was seen stepping on a big sword, moving back and forth in the woods as nimbly as a snake. At her current speed, even if she was scratched by a branch, she might be knocked away. However, the Herrscher of Knowledge laughed loudly and flew forward without any concern.
Behind the Herrscher of Consciousness were Fang Zheng and Bronya. They drove their motorcycles through the woods, rushed through the bushes, and followed closely behind the Herrscher of Consciousness, like two tigers hunting their prey.
Although the Herrscher of Knowledge was a Herrscher, his speed was naturally not slow, but Fang Zheng and Bronya were not ordinary people either. Seeing the two getting closer and closer to him, the Herrscher of Knowledge also rolled his eyes.
"Next up is the prop competition!"
While shouting, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly turned around on her greatsword. With her movement, the tall and thick trees around her, which were as big as two people's arms, were cut off in an instant, and then flipped over and smashed backwards.
This move was certainly unexpected, but the next two were not strictly human. Facing the spinning tree trunk, Fang Zheng casually slapped it, and the armor plate on the side of Griffin suddenly opened, and then a big sword popped out and fell into Fang Zheng's hand. Then Fang Zheng held the big sword tightly and swung it forward - the whistling sword energy swept across, directly tearing everything along the way into pieces, leaving a wide and smooth road for Fang Zheng.
On the other side, blue light also bloomed behind Bronya, and a series of turrets appeared out of thin air, emitting blue light and smashing the obstacles in front of them into pieces. Then Bronya turned her head slightly, and another beam of light shot out, hitting the ground in front of the Herrscher of Knowledge. In an instant, the ground roared, and countless dust exploded and flew up, covering the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"Wait! You're taking it too far!!"
"The props are in the way."
Facing the complaints of the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was covered in dust and came out, Bronya explained calmly, and then the heavy-armored bunny under her accelerated again, closing the distance between them while the Herrscher of Knowledge was slowed down by the obstruction. On the other side, Fang Zheng also followed the almost flat passage that was no different from a highway and came to the side of the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"By the way, although it's called a competition, we haven't yet agreed on the stakes."
"bet?"
"Yeah, without rewards and punishments, the competition itself would be meaningless."
Bronya remained silent about this, but the Herrscher of Knowledge became excited.
"That's right, how do we bet?"
"Hmm... I can't think of it right now. How about this? The two losers must complete one request of the winner. How about that? This way, there will be both rewards and punishments."
"No problem! Then how do you win?!"
"Um……"
“Boom boom boom…”
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and then the ground cracked. Something that looked like a submarine suddenly jumped out of it and blocked Fang Zheng and his group. At the same time, its two firing ports opened, and then, black monsters like a swarm of bees surged out of it and pounced on Fang Zheng and his group.
This thing should be the Neroi lurking under the ground. It was probably because Fang Zheng and the others made too much noise before that it alarmed this guy and attracted him here.
But for Fang Zheng... this came at the perfect time.
“Got it!”
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards Neroi in front of him.
"Let's take this one. I remember that this thing seems to have only one core. So how about we compete to see who can destroy its core first? Whoever wins?"
"good!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's suggestion, the Herrscher of Knowledge nodded vigorously. However, at this moment, Bronya suddenly accelerated, surpassed the Herrscher of Knowledge, and rushed towards Neloy in the distance.
"Ah? Do you want to take revenge? I won't let you succeed so easily!"
Seeing Bronya seize the opportunity to overtake him, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly became serious, shouting to speed up and chase after Bronya.
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng laughed, shrugged his shoulders, and then quickened his speed, rushing towards the target not far away.
Although its behavior is similar to that of the Kijuzi, the Neloy does not need to rely on the "Spear" to be destroyed like the Kijuzi. As long as the core can be hit, ordinary bullets can also cause damage to it. However, because the Neloy has a strong regeneration ability, it is difficult to catch the core position and launch an attack in an instant if there is not enough firepower to defeat its defense.
In addition, the Neuroi will always release countless clone groups. As long as the core is not destroyed, the clone will not be destroyed. This characteristic also makes them quite difficult to deal with - that is for ordinary people.
“Drink it!!”
The Herrscher of Consciousness clenched the greatsword and swung it down with force in front of him. The huge and heavy blade whistled with the sword wind, tearing apart all the bee swarms caught in it, and then turned into sharp sword energy when it hit, directly cutting a conspicuous wound on Neloy's heavy body.
On the other side, Bronya also drove the artillery to blast holes in the Neloy in front of them - no one knew where the core was, so they could only find it through this thorough carpet bombing.
Poor Neloy, it would have been a powerful presence in front of the human army, but it had no way to resist the attack of the two Herrschers. The swarm created by its clone was smashed to pieces before it even got close, and its originally huge and hard body was full of holes, just like a miserable model that had been tortured.
"boom!!"
Finally, after another bombardment, Neloy's shell shattered again, and then a bright red, gem-like star was seen floating inside. Seeing this scene, Bronya and the Herrscher of Knowledge were both delighted.
"That's mine!"
"No, it's Bronya!"
While shouting, the two rushed towards the core gem, but just when they were about to attack...
"Bang!!!"
With a gunshot, the gem shattered, and then the huge Neroi completely decomposed into white fragments and disappeared into the air.
“…”
The two turned around and saw Fang Zheng on a motorcycle not far away, holding a sniper rifle in his hand and looking at them with a smile on his face.
As a prophecy mage, isn't it a very simple thing for him to know when and where the core will appear?
