Chapter 27: Fierce Battle

"Enemy attack!"

The sharp alarm sounded throughout the restricted area.

Yao Luo's attention was attracted by the strong sense of presence and he looked towards the front of the restricted area.

For a moment, the soldiers in the entire restricted area moved forward to the front of the restricted area like a turning gear.

"Array up!"

The rows of soldiers thrust their spears at the same time, and the sound of them cutting through the air could be clearly heard.

"Iron Guard is here!"

The tall Iron Guard stood in front of everyone, with a shield as tall as himself blocking in front of him like a city wall. No matter what the attack was, even if a basin of water was poured at him, he could block it without a single leak.

The spear in his right hand thrust out like rain, stringing the flying mosquito-shaped monsters together like candied haws.

What kind of enemy could force such an iron guard to retreat again and again?
The answer is right outside the door.

The narrow city passage was blocked like a jam-packed highway.

A dense, ant-like sea of ​​monsters surged in from the back, and there was no end in sight.

Large and small, groups of Rift Monsters are like an army, with flying mosquito-like monsters as the vanguard, and behind them are giant crystal beasts over two meters tall.

Fire, ice, lightning.

Hail like rain, lava like meteorites, and thunder beyond the reaction speed of normal people.

Every attack would cause groups of iron guards to be blown away and their formations to be torn apart.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The weapon of an Iron Guard was melted by the oncoming lava, and half of his arm was corroded away.

What's scary is that the slightly harder bones are still attached to the arm, and the burned nerves are making a hissing sound.

"Back off! Back off!"

The leading iron guard waved his arm, and no one even had the chance to move the wounded soldier to the rear.

The giant arm swung in a circle, the powerful force of destiny gathered, and the tip of the gun condensed into a white light visible to the naked eye.

"go with!"

The effect of the blow was visible. The flying attacks were cleared by this blow, and the powerful wind pressure even knocked away a few smaller monsters.

However, this can only buy some breathing time for the injured soldiers.

As soon as the attack was launched, a cube came from the void and attacked the Iron Guard from the front.

Just as he was about to retreat, Yu Guangzhong saw a soldier right behind him, dragging his broken body and trying his best to move backwards, trying not to hold his companions back.

"Can't retreat."

As soon as he thought of this, the cube had already hit the leading guard's head hard.

A crack appeared on the helmet on top of the head. The metal, which was forged with Beloberg's best forging technology, was deformed by the heavy impact, which showed how much impact the person inside the helmet had suffered.

His upright figure swayed slightly, but he quickly regained his balance, raised his spear high, and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"fire!"

Behind them, artillery shells flew over the sky and hit the enemy's formation.

The powerful explosives threw the ground into the air, and rubble flew everywhere in a mess.

The bombing's destructive effect on the monster group was visible to the naked eye. Charred bullet marks appeared outside the door and the enemy's offensive was briefly stopped.

But soon, another wave of monsters swept in, even greater in number and scale than before.

The artillery shells continued to rain down on the outside of the door.

The number of artillery shells of the Iron Guard is limited, but the appearance of monster tides shows no sign of stopping.

Until the firing port of the artillery shell was burned red by the heat and the smoke under the barrel was three feet high, it could no longer support it and the barrel exploded, making it unusable.

The lady-like monster waved the staff in her hand, and a gear-shaped formation appeared behind it, and countless golden rays of light shot into the door.

"Block."

The soldiers before could only use their bodies as a wall to block the attack. The golden light hit the Iron Guard's shield, which was already scarred by explosion fragments, melted iron, and large and small holes. The emblem representing Beloberg on the shield was already blurred, and only this solid man stood there.

The storm might knock down the trees, but it couldn't make the man in front of him move back.

But is this man who stands firm in the storm really as strong as he seems?
"The arm has lost consciousness." The tall guard gritted his teeth, half of his face under the helmet was covered with blood.

The previous attack caused the dent on the helmet to squeeze his eyeball. He had lost half of his vision, blood was still flowing, and every bone in his body was wailing. He could hardly support even the weight of the armor.

He could not see clearly what was happening ahead, the roaring sound was still reaching his ears, along with the roar of the monsters, the exploding sound of the shells, and the pain of the electric current passing through the armor and into his body.

As the person in charge of the front line today, I have to defend this place even if it costs my life.

"Yelena...I'm sorry, I may not be able to come to see you."

In a trance, he remembered the agreement he made a few days ago. According to the regulations of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, after finishing today's patrol, he could return to the administrative district to enjoy a few months of rest.

A squeaking fist-shaped machine appeared at the feet of the Iron Guard at some point, its red core emitting a dangerous glow.

"Sir, stand back! It's going to explode!"

This fist-shaped robot will self-destruct after a period of preparation. Its power is so great that it can destroy everything within several meters. Many soldiers on the front line have died at its hands.

"Back off? Should I back off?"

The Iron Guard's consciousness was already a little unclear. The voices of his comrades were blurry and clear, but he could no longer make out their content.

Only my subconscious mind told me, "Run, run backwards, no one will blame you."

As the highest-ranking Iron Guard present, he could certainly sit at the rear and watch the soldiers charge forward one by one. He could completely escape from here safely on the pretext of asking for help from the rear.

But the years of training of the Silvermane Iron Guard told him, his own experience with the soldiers told him, and the oath he made before the Everwinter Monument and the city walls told him.

"I can't retreat. Behind me is Beloberg!"

"Ahhh!" The Iron Guard's figure was so small compared to the city in front of him, but as he moved forward, forward, and kept moving forward, he pressed the gate that divided the battlefield firmly in front of him.

His figure is as solid as the walls of Beloberg that have stood for thousands of years.

The brilliance of the destiny of "preservation" kept the endless sea of ​​monsters out of the door, and the self-destructing fist machine was like a small firework thrown out and knocked far out of the door.

The scene was spectacular: cutting electric saws, flying lasers, lava, cubes cutting through space, countless golden streams of light, everything was blocked outside the shield of the Iron Guard and outside the city gate.

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they didn't even care about their injuries, and rushed forward to support their leaders.

Although the light burst out by humans is extremely magnificent, the grand light often cannot last long, only a few seconds. Traces of broken glass appear on the indestructible transparent light, and the traces quickly spread.

The shield was broken.

Willpower often cannot change reality. Even if this iron guard has a strong will, he can no longer squeeze out a single bit of energy from his body.

The unshakable body is about to fall down. Within three seconds, his body will be torn into pieces by the monster sea in front of him, or in the subsequent monster tide, this eroded body will turn into a monster and rush towards the city he is guarding.

“No!” No was of no use, the soldiers’ shouts were getting closer and closer, even though their injuries were not much better, they did not want to see their leader captured by the enemy and see him turned into a walking corpse in the next invasion.

At this critical moment, a hand lifted up the iron guard who was about to fall.

"Sorry, I am late."

Yao Luo's figure appeared on the battlefield. With a gloomy face, he looked at the enemy in front of him, but when we shift our attention to the huge object he was carrying in his right hand, we can understand why he was late.

It was a moving gear that was supposed to be laid at the bottom of the city, and it was huge enough to support the square that operated the entire restricted area.

"That is..." The soldier behind Yao Luo was so shocked by this unreasonable scene that his jaw almost dropped.

As someone who often patrols the restricted area, he is very aware of the weight of that thing, at least hundreds of tons. It takes ten minutes to walk in the central cross square to walk half a circle of this thing!

The fact that Yao Luo was carrying the huge object could no longer be explained by his innate supernatural powers. It was like seeing a person carrying a mountain in front of him. It was beyond his comprehension.

The black and red gravity lifted the Iron Guards behind him. Yao Luo looked at the strange tide in front of him. For some reason, Yao Luo's heart was very calm. He slowly rose into the sky, and the giant wheel in his right hand was slowly raised and aimed at the road below.

"go to hell."
