Chapter 558: Magic vs. Technology
Only half a day had passed before the war began.
“Woo!”
The steel fortress closest to the Shiwandashan Mountains and also the newest built issued a shrill alarm.
Immediately afterwards, a huge army of hundreds of beasts suddenly appeared on the border.
"Can you finally hold it in?"
He immediately stood on the observation post of the Iron Fortress.
Xiang Yao looked at the real-time images transmitted by the drone with a cold expression, without any emotion in his heart.
Xiang Yao had long anticipated the attack of the demon tribe, but he did not expect that the other party would be so patient and only started to take action now.
"Huh? This demon king is quite gifted in military affairs."
When carefully distinguishing the beasts in the picture, Xiang Yao was surprised to find that they were not charging randomly without any order.
I saw that the army of beasts was divided into scouts, regular troops, left and right guards, and even a special rear guard formation according to their respective racial advantages and talents.
This not only shows that the demon king has great military talent, but he may even have specially learned the corresponding war skills.
At the same time, it also shows how much importance the demon king attaches to the demon army under his command. It is absolutely impossible for him to simply use them as cannon fodder.
"Activate the outer fire defense line to kill the monsters to the maximum extent possible."
When Xiang Yao's order spread throughout the entire steel fortress through the communication channel, faint "ripples" suddenly appeared on the outer periphery of the originally majestic and cold steel fortress.
It is a natural phenomenon caused by the reflection of sunlight, and it is also a precursor to the Iron Fortress's transition from a state of combat readiness to a state of war.
Click…click…click…
From afar, the steel fortress that was originally as smooth as a mirror suddenly cracked, revealing hundreds of black gun muzzles.
In just a moment, the steel fortress turned into a hideous bunker.
Under the protection of these bunkers, hundreds of [Pingchuan Overlord] soldiers nervously watched the beast army in the distance, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
The reason why the humans of this world were chosen to operate the Iron Fortress's machine guns was certainly not because the Shanhai Civilization did not have an automated enemy-searching system.
It is because Xiang Yao, who has experienced so many wars, knows very well that if the indigenous people cannot experience the coldness and cruelty of war firsthand, then the so-called "peacekeeping" is nothing but an illusion.
Only by constantly striving for self-improvement and holding on to faith can we truly maintain peace.
Besides, how can an automated search system be as useful as a real intelligent life?
Xiang Yao, who has been active on the front line of war for many years, knows better than anyone that any advanced weapons and equipment have the possibility of damage and error.
In comparison, although intelligent creatures may also become manic and war-weary because of war, they are undoubtedly the "weapons of war" that are least likely to make mistakes.

"What is that?"
Looking down at the sudden changes in the iron fortress, a scout of the beast army - Falcon instinctively developed a sense of crisis.
However, before the falcon realized what was happening, the muzzle of a gun from one of the bunkers was aimed at it in the sky.
Da da da…
Completely beyond imagination, dense firepower burst out, forming a huge firepower network covering a small area.
[It’s a weapon! It’s a firearm! ]
With this thought flashing through his mind, the falcon instinctively wanted to fly higher into the sky to avoid the intense fire coverage.
At this moment, the falcon no longer cared about hiding its whereabouts.
Unfortunately, the machine guns from the Shanhai Civilization are far more terrifying than the "air guns" of this world.
In just a blink of an eye, the talisman armor on the falcon was automatically activated, forming a high-density air wall around it.
Da da da…
One or two bullets may not be enough to break through this wall of air.
But that series of bullet attacks obviously exceeded the endurance limit of the talisman armor.
"ah!"
With a scream similar to that of a human, the falcon fell directly from the sky.
The other scouts of the Beast's Nest army received the same treatment as this group of falcons.
"kill!"
"For the demon race!"
…
Almost at the same time as the Iron Fortress opened its fire defense line, the beasts in the beast tide army also shouted loudly in the language of the beast tribe.
In an instant, the huge beast army crushed towards the iron fortress like a tide.
Da da da…
The sound of machine guns and shouts of killing suddenly rang out.
A bloody "isolation zone" suddenly appeared between the steel fortress and the beast tide army.
However, the beast tide army did not simply use the lives of the monsters to fill this firepower network, but instead tested the scope and limits of this firepower network in the process of continuous infiltration.
During this process, a huge monster with a fox head and a human body flew up out of thin air, and then waved its arms fiercely towards one of the bunkers.
Boom! In a flash, an invisible giant hand slapped the bunker.
Its powerful impact left a huge slap mark on the surface of the steel fortress.
However, this is the most that the great demon can do.
Before the opponent could even start a second palm strike, a high-altitude drone suddenly broke through the clouds and dropped from the sky, emitting extremely terrifying high-temperature rays.
Swish! Swish! Swish! The drone was moving too fast.
It was so fast that in the blink of an eye, several holes were shot in the monster's body.
Under such extreme high temperature, the talismanic armor carried by the big demon can't play any defensive role.
In desperation, the big demon had to abandon his physical body and escape back into the beast army in the form of his spirit.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Faced with the invisible soul that gathers and disperses, the drone obviously has no better way to deal with it.
Therefore, the high-speed rotating propeller carried the drone into the air again, looking for the next opportunity to attack.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!"
With a loud roar, a huge root shot out from the ground and instantly smashed the drone into pieces before it could take off.
At this point, the true leader of this beast army appeared.
It was a gigantic tree monster, its roots always lurking underground beneath the beast army.
While commanding the army to deploy its troops, he was also always vigilant against the drone swarms directly controlled by the "peacekeeping combat team".
In the eyes of this tree demon, those drones are a mechanical race from another world.
According to the orders from the Demon King, as long as they can kill the individual from another world, they don't have to worry about their own casualties.
This is one of the important reasons why the tree demon appeared in advance when it had not yet broken through the defense line.
"The entire army is approaching! Keep charging!"
The huge roots tore through the earth, and the sound from the tree demon spread throughout the battlefield.
"As long as you can kill an alien individual, the king will not be stingy with any reward!"
