Chapter 58: Beloberg’s Counterattack (Part )
"How's the charging power of the energy cannon?" Jeppard stood on the top of the wall, commanding the Silver Mane Guards to move back and forth on the wall like the wind.
"Three minutes until recharging, sir!"
While Cocolia was fighting with the Star Core in the air, the Silver Mane Iron Guards on the ground were not idle either. Rows of tall and mighty energy cannons were placed on the city walls. Terrifying energy was slowly gathering on the circular concentrators. Although it was not as scary as the Star Core and Cocolia's mecha, if these nearly a thousand energy cannons were fired at the same time, it would also be an attack that could not be underestimated.
"Damn it!" Jeppard clenched his fists so hard that the gauntlets of his power armor made a squeaking sound.
In a war at the level of star cores and creation engines, ordinary Silver Mane Iron Guards seem to have lost their effectiveness. Attacks of hundreds of meters in size are common, and the earth will tremble and the clouds will be ruthlessly torn apart. In the face of the power of nature, the power of ordinary people is too small.
He also led the power armor troops to weaken the star core, but it was of no avail.
With the determination to give the star core a blow even if he was stepped on to death by it, Jeppard led everyone to the foot of the star core in the midst of the earth-shaking situation. Facing the giant pillar that seemed to be supporting the sky, mankind launched a brave attack on it!
The Star Core seemed to not care about the little bugs under its feet. No matter how Jeppard and his men attacked, it remained indifferent.
After one blow, the wound from the first blow had healed before the second blow was struck. Faced with such a situation, which soldier would not be moved?
Just like when you are fighting with someone, and they come up with a health lock and a buff that will kill you with one hit. Even if the big devil comes, he can only say fuck you.
But reality is not a game. Faced with the current situation where he continues to sacrifice but cannot leave a scar on the enemy, what else can Jeppard say except retreat?
A feeling of powerlessness enveloped Jeppard's heart, but fortunately, the rear forces developed weapons targeting the star core in a very short time after seeing the core itself.
During the time when the star core appeared, the energy on the planet Yalilo VI became active, like boiling water, and could be absorbed and utilized by instruments, which gave the Silver Mane Iron Guards room to play their role again.
A heavy punch hit the city wall, raising fine dust. Jeppard looked into the distance, a place that was now shrouded in the cold wind.
"Mr. Walter, you must succeed!" The expectation in Jeppard's eyes was obvious. He was waiting for someone, someone that everyone present wanted to see.
"Ahhh!"
The sound of breaking through the air came from the sky above the walls of Beloberg, sonic boom clouds rose one after another, and huge creation engines shuttled over the city, sometimes throwing out spears to slow down the advancement of the star core, and sometimes rushing into the sky to stir up huge energy attacks with their physical bodies.
The huge body of the creation engine has turned a red color as if it was forged by fire. The high temperature has caused the surrounding water vapor to be ruthlessly evaporated, turning into clouds of smoke that wrap around the body, which is quite spectacular.
One can imagine the situation of Cocolia inside the body, but she still did not give up, and her eyes were still full of determination.
"I finally understand how Yao Luo felt a few years ago, huhu~"
Cocolia took a short breath between attacks, and tied her burnt golden hair behind her back into a simple ponytail.
She looked at her hands which were covered with blisters due to the high temperature, endured the pain, and clenched the spear in her hand.
Outside the body, cracks had already appeared on the ice-blue earth marrow spear of the creation engine, just like Cocolia who was almost unable to hold on.
"I thought I had made the most thorough preparations, but the reality is often not as expected."
Wiping the blood from her forehead, Cocolia's helpless tone was heartbreaking. Facing the star core, she had done her best in the limited time.
Since she repented, she dared not say that everything she did was right, but she could say with a clear conscience that everything she did now was not for herself, but for the millions of people in Beloberg.
She thought that under Yao Luo's guidance and with the help of the train crew, she could successfully survive the star core crisis, but the power of the star core exceeded her expectations. Even if she tried her best, she could only barely hold it back when Walter was not around.
She could no longer hear Shiluva's voice, and the communication equipment had been burned by the high temperature. She had no time to carry out Shiluva's plan. The only thought that supported her now was to protect the city of Beloberg and its people.
Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure pulled Cocolia back to reality. She looked up suddenly and saw a horrifying vision appearing in the sky!
On the walls of Belloberg, an unnatural darkness fell beneath the feet of every soldier. No one paid any attention at first, but when the darkness began to obscure the sunlight in the sky, no one could ignore it.
"what is that?"
A Silver Mane Iron Guard raised his head, seemingly not believing his eyes, and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, his body stopped moving. In other words, except for a few people, everyone present would do something similar to this soldier when facing the strange phenomenon in the sky.
"What is that, a meteorite?"
The source of the darkness is this "meteorite". Speaking of meteorites, the shadow and pressure brought by this meteorite seem to be unusual.
Because this is not a meteorite, but an asteroid that was pulled down from thousands of miles away by the core of a star!
A true star!
"Blocking the sky and the sun" is no longer an adjective at this time. On the ground, within the sight of human eyes, the light of the stars is gradually being blocked. As the asteroid approaches, although it is still tens of thousands of miles away, the gravitational tides brought by the planets have already appeared.
On the uninhabited, frozen hemisphere of the planet, supercooled water broke through the thick ice, creating huge waves that began to crash into the earth.
Silently, the weapons in the hands of the Silver Mane Iron Guards fell to the ground, but they had no time to care about it, as the scene before them was beyond their imagination.
They didn't even know that it was the Star Core that did it. They just felt that their actions had touched the gods and that they were being punished by God.
"us……"
They were powerless against the enemy's attack, and the strength they had cultivated with great effort was of no use. A scene beyond their imagination happened to them. Under heavy pressure, some soldiers could no longer withstand the pressure and sat limply on the ground, waiting for death to come.
"fire!"
A strong voice rang out on the field, it was the voice of a young boy.
Jeppard's eyes were wide open. He went to the control panel himself, aimed the turret at the sky, and slammed his hand heavily on the red button for firing.
"thumping!"
A bright light flashed in everyone's heart, and a lone roar shot into the sky.
The machine, representing human wisdom and craftsmanship, emitted its voice into the sky, and the deafening sound brought the soldiers present back to the world.
"Pass my order. All energy cannons, fire into the sky!"
As if they had been injected with a dose of adrenaline, the soldiers began to move, and energy shells began to be fired into the sky.
In the sky, Cocolia looked towards the direction of the star's core. When the asteroid approached, it stopped all movements, as if it believed there was no need to do anything else.
A trace of anger burned in Cocolia's heart. She raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky.
"It's just a stone, watch me push it back!"
The rear cover of the Creation Engine, which was on the verge of breaking down, was opened, and two of the five glowing engines had lost their light.
By overloading the remaining three engines, Cocolia is making one last gamble.
The huge machine charged towards the even bigger stars.
A charge with no return.
