Chapter 549: Hold the Fortress and Do Not Retreat
Everything in front of him suddenly went dark. When Zeus slowly raised his head, he had arrived at the throne room he had not seen for a long time. Then, he turned his head and looked at Zeus, the worker sitting at the long table.
"Let me see what's going on."
About half a year ago, before Castel started the Great Crusade, Hughes could still control the body of the worker Hughes, and from time to time he would bring a few people together to hold online meetings or something.
But one day, that body was suddenly surrounded by white mist, and the threads connecting it to other people seemed to be broken and lost their function.
At first, Zeus didn't know what the white fog was, but as he sent his troops to the north, he soon had a guess - could this be a white disaster? ?
Anyone who entered the White Disaster died, but Zeus's body did not seem to be alive either.
After that, Zeus did a lot of experiments, such as inhaling white mist or shouting for help, but there was no effect at all, so he gave up the exploration.
Until he knew that little Gwen was swallowed by the white mist.
When he was at Blood Harbor, he had secretly tried to probe and knew that this little girl was most likely the one in his connection, and she might even have come into contact with the extraordinary.
After all, when I contacted her, the information I got was [Named Person].
When Big Gwen said that he saw a little girl with white hair falling into the fog, Zeus immediately thought of the little girl selling fried fish, so he rushed to the North as soon as possible.
If little Gwen entered the White Disaster, would the worker Xius, who was also in the White Disaster, be able to successfully connect to her? Xius didn't waste any time, and looked at the worker Xius, and then his eyes went dark again.
When he opened his eyes, there was endless white fog around him.
Xiusi skillfully pulled out a few silk threads and tried several of the others first. Just like before, he couldn't pull them at all and couldn't manipulate the connection.
Taking a deep breath, Hughes grabbed Gwen's thread and pulled it gently.
He felt a soft touch in his hands, and the next moment, Zeus successfully connected with Gwen.
Inside the fortress.
"The Skeleton Group has reached the one thousand meter mark!"
"Fire!"
The heavy machine gun, which had already set its shooting parameters, immediately roared and spewed out fire snakes.
The white fog was getting closer and closer, like a tsunami covering the sky and earth, and the group of white bones were the waves in front.
Gwen held his machine gun tightly in his hand, but did not fire immediately. Instead, he knelt on one knee and began to pray.
She placed one hand on her chest and the other on the heavy machine gun, her eyes slightly closed, with a pious look.
"Gwen, who are you praying to?" Hodge asked curiously.
"Myself." Gwen opened her eyes after a while and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"It's strange, isn't it? I used to pray to the Silent Temple, but they didn't help us resist the army. No one came. When you are desperate, the only thing you can trust is the sword in your hand."
"After that, I just prayed to myself, praying that my sword would always shine, and that my heart would never retreat."
Gwen patted the heavy machine gun in front of him and smiled foolishly.
"Now I have a new friend. I don't know what to pray for her. I just pray that she has fun killing."
Gwen casually placed the heavy machine gun on the firing port. A soldier next to her looked at her empty loading port and couldn't help but remind her:
"Have you forgotten?"
"Shut up!" Everyone in Hodge's team shouted in unison, scaring the man so much that he shuddered. Then he continued firing with a sense of grievance.
As he cranked the handle, he couldn't help but turn his head and look over again.
Gwen chanted a prayer and casually shook the handle twice, and the heavy machine gun could not wait to let out a roar filled with gunpowder.
Gwen turned around for a while, but he couldn't keep up with the speed of the bullets firing, so he simply let go of the crank and started firing with the heavy machine gun.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force were stunned.
The soldier who had just given the reminder looked as if his worldview had collapsed. He looked at Gwen's machine gun in confusion for a while, then looked down at his own.
After hesitating for a moment, he also began to pray, but the words of his prayer were changed to the Holy Scripture of the Imperial Truth, and the object of his prayer was changed to Hughes.
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after a while, he opened his eyes, looked at the machine gun in his hand, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Machine Soul, I seem to feel the Machine Soul!" He shouted loudly, and the soldiers looked over.
Soon, the soldiers on this front began to make some extra movements during the battle. Alexei did not notice the soldiers' small movements.
He was standing in the temporary command center, staring at Bai Wu's condition nervously with other technical priests.
"Have you made preparations for evacuation?"
"All three steam trains are on standby, and the steam engines have not been turned off, ready to go at any time. The soldiers' retreat plan has also been rehearsed, and everyone can get on the train in turn within three minutes after the order is issued. Supply stations are also prepared along the railway to respond to emergencies at any time."
Alexi nodded, then turned to ask the banshee beside him: "Nini, how is the condition of the bones?"
"The killing efficiency is quite good. Currently, only one-fifth of the firing points are firing, and the group of bones has been effectively intercepted. If nothing unexpected happens, they will not be able to break through our blockade."
"What about the fog?"
"The speed of the white mist has indeed slowed down significantly. The white bones are not far away from it now, and the strange pulling effect has weakened a lot. It seems that our blocking of the white bones is effective at the moment."
"But the white mist didn't really stop moving forward?"
"Unfortunately, yes, although the white fog has slowed down a lot, it is still moving forward steadily. The bullets fired at the white fog have no effect."
Alexey pursed his lips.
The swarm of bones is not difficult to stop. Although they can be reborn again and again, they are ultimately flesh and blood and cannot really block bullets.
But the white fog is different. At present, it seems that only the Dragon Breath Cannon can have some effect, but it can only disperse part of the white fog and is not enough to block it.
If that's the case. "Get the reserves ready."
Alexei said with a sigh.
The expeditionary force's fortress in the north is indeed magnificent, but it can only stop physical enemies.
If it were just bones, no matter how many there were, they would all be crushed to death on Castel's No. 150 concrete.
But what can we use to block the white fog?
"Are we going to retreat, my lord?"
Alexei sighed: "The range of the Dragon Breath Cannon is too short, and the bastion cannot protect against the fog. There is no point in staying here."
"No, we must hold our ground here and not retreat." A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
