Alien paradise

Seeing that the vanguard group had occupied the walled area, Woody issued an order to stop the bombardment and attack with the entire army.

At this moment, two steel creations appeared in the mist - they had a rotating turret on top of their heads, and their lower parts were spider-like multi-legged legs, with each joint moving along with the feet. And spurt out bursts of steam. If the park players were still here, they would immediately recognize this as the armed contraption they encountered the night they robbed the train.

"What is that?" Woody raised the telescope and asked with surprise.

But he soon understood what these two steel behemoths were here to do.

I saw flames spitting out from their heads in turn, and then there was a violent explosion from the other end of the mine. As black smoke pillars were set off from the crowd, and scattered limbs and broken arms were thrown out, the offensive of the vanguard group was immediately suppressed. .

These short-barreled artillery are not very powerful, and their impact cannot be compared with the six-inch naval guns of the City Guards. However, their rate of fire is quite astonishing. They can fire one shot almost every four or five seconds. In addition, There was a rotating gun on the left and right sides of the turret, which almost made the vanguard group unable to lift their heads!

The brick wall of the mine was indeed unable to stop the army's artillery attacks, but now it also could not provide cover for the city guards. Many soldiers who were forced to hide behind the wall were unable to move. They would be fired upon by musketry if they moved forward, and shelled if they did not move. The consequences of being hit by a short-barreled gun are no different from those of a six-inch naval gun. Even if the shrapnel is grazed, it will leave fatal cracks on the human body.

The most embarrassing thing is that the city guards have almost no means of counterattack.

The muskets in their hands could not penetrate the armor of these two steel behemoths, and if they wanted to throw mines, they had to get close to the target first - this life-threatening attack method was obviously beyond the courage of the soldiers.

Relying on two large strange machines to hold down the formation, the cult's militants also emerged from the fog one by one, divided into left and right wings and began to encircle the soldiers who were unable to move.

If the stalemate continues, the vanguard group will undoubtedly face the end of being slaughtered!

Woody gritted his teeth and could only let the messenger give the order to retreat.

"Blow the trumpet, let the vanguard troops return to the outside of the wall, and the artillery team shoots into the mine!"

Damn it, Gaotian Mining actually still hides such weapons. The most hateful thing is that he is not unaware of this - as an adjutant, Woody has also heard that Gaotian Company and Black Steel Security order new strange structures from the old continent. Used to suppress unscrupulous miners. After hearing this, he basically laughed it off. After all, the life and death of the miners had nothing to do with him. These strange structures were essentially no different from whips and torture racks. At that time, he would never have imagined that Gaotian Company would equip the strange structure with artillery and turn it into a military weapon that could be used on the battlefield.

"Stop, why are you retreating? You must let everyone rush forward!" Suddenly someone stopped the messenger and turned to shout at him.

The opponent was none other than Gawei.

"Send people up now to make them die!" Woody said angrily, "Even if you are a priest of the Divine Machine Cult, please do not interfere with my command! When the vanguard group is far away from the enemy's strange structures, we can destroy those things with artillery. !”

"Then what if the opponent retreats into the fog again?" Gewei shouted rudely, "The spiritual lamp on the locomotive can shine so far, and you can't see the entire battlefield. Now retreat, and those dead soldiers will be in vain. died!"

Woody was asked for a moment, could the location where the railway tracks were blown up be part of the cultists' plan?

"But if we send people up now, the casualties will definitely increase..."

"Otherwise? Take the chance with your life! You are fighting the cultists, not the gangs and pirates in the city!" Gewei was quite disdainful of his idea, "The number of city guards is far greater than the enemy. , as long as a large force surrounds them, the two armed contraptions will not care about all angles, and only then will the soldiers have a chance to get closer!"

After saying that, she waved her riding crop and slapped the horse's butt hard, "My men are about to attack. If you dare to fire, I guarantee that Sandra will not be able to protect you!"

"you--"

Woody's face turned red. This was simply unreasonable. No matter whether they were cults or orthodox cults, none of these believers acted according to common sense! He currently serves as the acting commander of the City Guards. How could he change the orders he issued on the fly?

"Sir... you mean..." The messenger looked at the adjutant with some embarrassment.

Woody looked at the Shenji Cult team that was charging, and gritted his teeth for a moment before replying, "...cancel the bombardment and let the large forces attack."

He knew in his heart that the priestess was not joking with him.

If he really ordered the firing and accidentally injured the followers of Shenji Cult, Gawei would definitely not let him go.

"Come on!"

"Support the vanguard group!"

The main force also began to run after hearing the charge horn. The team of more than 500 people used the Shenji Cult as their arrows to form a huge impact formation.

With the addition of new forces, the already endangered vanguard group regained its footing.

Gewei rushed into the mine first, then jumped off the horse and ran all the way to the right. After confirming that the attention of the armed strange structure was not on her, she took off the secret magic weapon behind her back.

She aimed the long end of ouroboros at a strange structure, and launched a direct strike with the energy of an eight-inch cannon - the stored shock wave instantly hit the turret of the strange structure, like an iron fist. The steel plate was also dented, and the scorching energy invaded the cabin from the structural gaps, and then sprayed out from the gun barrel, hatch cover and other parts, scalding the members inside to a crisp!

Another strange device was also thrown by the city guard soldiers behind it, and the thunder exploded, breaking two iron legs. The steel behemoth that lost power fell to the ground in the violent eruption of steam.

After losing the war machine, the cultists did not turn around and flee, but fought with the city guards like moths to a flame. It's a pity that these people don't have the ability to transform into monsters, and they were almost all destroyed in less than ten minutes. At this point, the city guards finally occupied the entrance to the mine.

…

Boom...

Listening to the faint explosion above his head, the divine envoy took off his hood, revealing his original face.

Although they were underground, the vibrations of the shock wave were still transmitted to the depths of the mine, and the slowly falling stone chips seemed to tell how intense the battlefield on the surface was.

"Mr. Vance, the city guards have begun to attack the Ash Hill Mine." Deheni saluted him respectfully, "The Heart of God has been opened to you. Can I leave?"

"Are you sure you don't want to stay? This is a rare sight. Maybe you can only see it once in your life." Vance White glanced at him with interest, "As the general manager of the mine, your The merit is worthy of such an honor.”

"This...it's not necessary." Deheni smiled awkwardly, "Although I will return to the embrace of God sooner or later and share happiness with the world, but before that, I still hope to enjoy more individual happiness. , especially if the body doesn’t age.”

"Since you don't plan to stay, I won't force you." Van Si waved his hand, "Go ahead, we will meet again if we have the chance."

After hearing these words, the other party's smile was obviously a little stiff, but he still concealed his emotional fluctuations well and saluted the envoy again. Then he and his bodyguard boarded the elevator to the surface.

At this moment, only Vance White was left in the bottom mine.
