Chapter 770 The war begins!
Groups of priests came out, their white robes gleaming with dazzling gold patterns.
This is a robe that can only be worn by high-ranking priests. Apart from the extraordinary ones, they are the backbone of the church.
There were also quite a few extraordinary people, who were operating a large machine on one side. It was a long and narrow machine like a lamprey. At first glance, it looked a bit like a tunnel boring machine, but it was much longer and narrower overall. There was still fresh soil on the excavation structure in the front.
It was obviously dug all the way down from above.
The Candlelight Society's priests quickly formed up, clearly well prepared, while several [Investigators] subtly blocked the Untouchables' escape routes.
"It seems the situation is not good. Will Candlelight accept surrender?" Nini looked around and shrugged.
"They never accept surrender, especially from aliens." Frey muttered.
"What are you hesitating about? Pick up your weapons!" Nini said loudly, and casually took out the Gatling gun and dragon breath cannon from the buckles of her armor.
On the side, Una also came out fully armed.
The battle broke out instantly!
Nini and Una's firepower is comparable to that of the three combat teams of the Imperial Truth, and their combat skills are also extremely proficient - Nini can even hold three Gatling guns at the same time to forcibly suppress the recoil.
Una was no less capable. This usually quiet banshee brought six dragon breath cannons and relied on her heavy banshee armor to force her way into the front line, followed by a burst of fierce fire.
The Untouchables were slow to react. They ran around and climbed onto the surrounding machines.
The collapse just now caused some damage to most of these machines, but it didn't matter. These broken machines showed amazing endurance in the face of battle.
Although many parts were indeed damaged, perhaps because they were originally pieced together from various types of garbage, the remaining intact parts still functioned in an amazing way.
Those with broken legs use their heads and hats to support themselves on the ground to move, those with damaged power connect the pipes to the nearby equipment for external transmission, and those without weapon modules - ha, when your weapon is broken, all your parts become weapons.
One machine after another stood up from the ground and joined the battle.
The battle heated up almost immediately.
The Candlelight Society was obviously well prepared. They were attacked by the Untouchables and driven to the Upper Rhine, and they came here to seek revenge!
These underground people had long been disenchanted with the Rhine Church and quickly joined the war under Frey's command and assistance.
Neither side has any interest in negotiation, steel and gunpowder are the best words!
As soon as the fight started, Nini felt tremendous pressure.
"Damn, is this the Holy See!?" Nini listened to the clanking of her armor and looked at the enemies firing densely on the front line. She hesitated for a moment and then hid aside.
Una was suppressed to the point that she couldn't even raise her head.
The Candlelight Society was different from what they had imagined. All members were equipped with firearms, and they were firearms they were familiar with - steam rifles.
This heavy gun was used as a cannon in the early stages of Castel's development. Its power was far greater than the firearms of that era, and was even much greater than the Gatling gun in Nini's hand. The only thing to be thankful for was that it could not fire continuously.
Nini was just a little late in dodging, and she felt some pain in her waist. She reached out to touch it, and found that it was bleeding.
After checking her armor, she found several holes. The bullets had penetrated but had little kinetic energy, so she wasn't seriously injured.
Nini took a deep breath and her eyes widened.
The Banshee Armor can't even hold on?
The Banshee Armor designed by Zeus has armor thickness comparable to that of a main battle tank. In previous exercises, it had no problem withstanding the heavy machine gun charges of the Skitarii!
Now it can be penetrated easily.
Nini had a headache. She didn't feel that this steam rifle was very powerful and there was no need to use it in assault mode at all.
But it is very uncomfortable to hold it in your hand.
Nini tried to open fire to suppress the opponent, but the opponent's bullets were accurate and powerful, obviously also used by extraordinary people.
The Banshee usually has a crushing advantage on the battlefield, but this is the first time that she has been suppressed by the opponent's firepower and unable to raise her head.
Nini opened the mind link.
"Oona, how are you doing over there? Can you disrupt the enemy's suppressive fire?"
"No, I'm too far forward. There are too many people watching me now. If I show my face, a volley of bullets will fly at me!"
Una was also in some trouble. She could only fight in close combat with the dragon breath cannon, but it was easy to charge into the formation but difficult to get out.
Fortunately, these priests of the Holy See fell together with the collapsed dome. There were a lot of rubble and bunkers here. Although the steam rifle could blow them up, it would require multiple shots. Una could continue to move to another bunker nearby to hide.
The situation for the two improved a little after the Untouchables' machines came into play.
As soon as these machines began to move, bullets flew towards them.
Most of those who attacked the two banshees were [Investigators], while the Vatican's mortal auxiliary forces held on to these large machines tightly.
They were not using steam rifles, but another type of standard firearm.
Its power is average, but it can withstand large numbers of people, and its rate of fire is much higher than that of a steam rifle.
"Master Nini, we are here to help you!"
Several machines rushed through the Vatican's line of fire and came to Nini.
Nini turned around and found that their machinery had suffered considerable damage.
These machines withstood the volleys of gunfire, but not without cost.
They were not designed for combat use from the beginning, and have little protective armor at all, so they can only withstand damage through their structure.
This will cause them to quickly become ineffective and paralyzed. In fact, the ones around Nini, except for serving as cover, all other functions are basically scrapped.
But Nini's eyes lit up.
What she lacks most is cover!
Directing the machines to approach, Nini suddenly raised her head and rushed behind a large machine.
The machine also cooperated by raising its arms and trying its best to block the incoming bullets for Nini.
"Oona!"
Una looked up when she heard that, and at this moment, an underground machine crashed in front of her with a bang, providing Una with a moment of cover.
Una didn't hesitate, she seized the opportunity and raised the Dragon Breath Cannon!
Boom boom boom!!!!!!
With a roar, the red fire dragon, covered by the Gatling gun in Nini's hand, rushed directly towards the Vatican's line!
"It's done!"
"Is this all right?"
"Yes, the Vatican's troops may have formidable firepower, but they are still flesh and blood. Without heavy armor like ours, they simply can't withstand the onslaught. If we can just tear a hole in their lines, their own casualties will disrupt their rhythm!"
As Nini spoke, she looked up at the Vatican's front line, but the next moment, her words paused.
A huge shield appeared out of thin air in the air, accurately blocking all attacks!
