Sword of Daybreaker

The cluster of giants has changed collectively.

In the north of the Hongfeng area, the No. 3 highland, the sky is gloomy, the wind is whistling, and the artillery is roaring.

A large number of cluster giants wandering from the east are running wild on the plains. The horrible monsters that are swollen and deformed are acting wildly, sweeping across the plains, rushing across the hills, some rushing into the distance, and some impacting Legion’s defenses. The glaring arcane arc cut through the air, illuminating the polluted plains in dim skylights, and the gunfire continued forever on the No. 3 high ground that supported the important nodes of the line of defense.

The heavy magical cannon finely adjusts the angle of incidence under the action of the mechanical device. The rune track rays of light flashes, and the cannonball wrapped in the light azure air mass flies into the distance. The warhammer type I in the tank bunker is also frequently fired. The shells bombarded the plains on the eastern side of the highlands, interweaving the impenetrable firepower net.

A Cecil Captain wearing a white blue armor stood behind the bunker and used tactical eyepieces to observe the battlefield.

The blast of explosions and shock waves covered the frenzied clusters, with countless twisted limbs and broken crystals being blown up into the sky every minute, but in the faint skylight, there are still countless monsters. It is coming from afar and falls on this death line insignificantly.

Captain closes the eyepiece and turns away from the bunker.

Nearby, the commander blessed Mana’s loud scream: “The second bombardment queue cools, replaces the acceleration track – the third queue starts shooting!” “The burner is warmed up!” “The shell has been delivered!” “Pioneer has Arrival location!”

Captain quickly passed through the busy artillery positions and the tunnels that supplied the supplies. The fire and commanding sounds of the weapons were filled with him. He crossed a sentry post and walked over to a tall, wearing Knight emblem and a black-and-white coat of arms. The commander of the short cloak.

Three short muffled sounds came from the side, and the three brightened signal flares were hit into the sky, and the eye-catching flash illuminates the camp, shining on the silver white armor surface of Knight.

“Sir! The enemy’s offensive has been contained, they are suppressed outside the line of defense,” Captain said to the immediate commander, and said quickly, “but the monsters did not show signs of retreat, nor traces of discipline. Showing a complete frenzy.”

The commander nodded: “Continue to consolidate the east line of defense, no matter how many they come, they must be eliminated on the fire line – we have enough supplies.”

“Yes, sir.”

Captain left and the commander glanced at the situation on the battlefield and then turned to the command post.

A low humming sound came from the direction of the Gorgon River. In the radiance of the signal flares, two rays of horror energy like the rays of light suddenly lit up, and they pierced the dim sky. The west to the east traversed the entire battlefield, and then solemnly swept the plains of the giant clusters. The beams swept past, the giants and the rocks evaporate together, and the earth was only a hot scorched earth.

In the command post’s barracks, the magic circuit terminal is running, and the holographic projection shows the bust of the ground force commander Philip.

The commander stood in front of the terminal and the voice was loud: “General, the No. 3 high-altitude defense line has been stabilized, the calibration beam has been cleaned in the eastern and northern extensions, and we can arrange the next stronghold.”

“Maintain the fire suppression, and the next propulsion unit will enter the field from the southwest after thirty minutes,” Philip said calmly. “How about the cluster giants over there?”

“Out of control, frenzied, almost irrational, but there is no sign of a decline in power.”

“I haven’t found any crystallographic commanders who are sensible yet?”

“not found.”

“…I understand. Continue to perform the mission, commander.”

“Roger that.”

In the main Legion command post, Philip came to Gawain, who was reading the information from the rear. At the opening of Philip, Gawain had already looked up: “The cluster Legion seems completely out of control.”

After waiting for Philip to ask, Gawain raised the paper in his hand: “Camel’s message from Pompeii, all the commander-level cluster giants held in the isolation cages of the lab are mad at the same time. – they can’t all be subordinate units of the Red Maple node.”

“Pompey Lab?!” Philip suddenly panicked. “Is it all right?”

“There is a fully armed force and a Legendary-class ancient Sorcerer sitting in the town, it’s impossible to do it – all the out-of-control monsters have been destroyed, and the infected carriers who have been treated with isolation have been safely transferred. There is no need to worry about this – Fortunately, those who only carry the infection are not affected.”

“The situation in front of me is very strange…” Philip frowned. “The appearance of the monsters is not the same as the loss of control caused by the collapse of the superior node…”

“Yes, if it is the loss of control caused by the collapse of the superior node, those cluster giants will quickly weaken while losing their senses. After an hour, they are almost the same as the ordinary wild beast, but now those out of control cluster giants are just caught. Frenzy, there was no decline in power,” Gawain threw the papers on the table with a serious tone. “They are not ‘out of control’, but a new, completely crazy mind becomes their highest node.”

Philip felt a chill, Gawain continued: “The only good news at the moment is that the cluster giants after the frenzy have not evolved in strength. We can still maintain the line of defense and continue to push north, but on the other hand, lose organization. The cluster of giants has become more difficult to bind…”

As soon as he spoke halfway, the nearby air suddenly twisted, Amber’s silhouette emerged from the air, and Miss Half-Elf handed a copy of the information to Gawain’s hand: “The Maryland side came urgently.” ”

Gawain took the information and hurriedly glanced at it. Looking up towards Philip: “The situation is the same as I expected. – The Throne of the Throne is at the entrance of the Eastern Region and is suddenly in a frenzied cluster of giants. The runaway is indeed the whole crystal. Cluster Legion.”

In that emergency intelligence, Maryland reported on the battle to the Eastern Region: countless, frenzied clusters of giants and low-level infected people are spreading blindly, and a considerable part of them rushed to the blockade established by the Iron Throne Up – Maryland Knight has built defenses based on armored trains, armed railways, and a large number of temporary barriers, bunkers, and mountain bunkers. He currently blocks the portals of those infected with the Eastern Region and continues to increase their defenses.

Relying on the strength of the Iron Throne, plus the armed security forces of Baisha Mining have gone to support, Maryland Knight should be able to control the situation on the ground, and even extend the line of defense to the west – war technicians are spreading the railway under the cover of artillery To expand the scope of the activities of the Iron Throne to Holy Spirit Plain, Maryland’s goal is to drive the Iron Throne into Sorinburg by means of “defensive advancement” – so that he can rely on the solid work of Sorinburg to build a new line of defense. Strive for a certain depth and try to ensure that the Eastern Region is not yet contaminated.

It turns out that Gawain’s judgment on Maryland was correct – it’s a capable person, and although he was born in the Ainz traditional aristocracy, it has the value of transformation. After undergoing advanced knowledge instillation and actual contact with the operation of Cecil Legion, Maryland’s original military capabilities were inspired and strengthened. He is good at using defensive for offense, and this tactic will be of maximum value with the help of armored trains. .

“Where is Sonya?” Gawain turned and looked towards Amber. “She should be coming back soon.”

“She was returning from the direction of the tulip when she contacted twenty minutes ago. This time is almost…”

“I have come back,” Amber said, and a clear voice came from the door. Gawain followed the sound and saw that the high-level messenger wearing a light leather armor had already appeared in front of his eyes. “The north is all Into the crazy monster, the east is also, and worse… After the tulip, the western part of the Gorgon River also found wandering crystal clusters infected.”

“Is the pollution really going through the river…” Gawain couldn’t help but clench his fist. “How much?”

“Not good, I don’t dare fly too far, but I saw that the private soldiers of the local aristocracy are fighting against the small cluster of monsters. There are not many enemies crossing the Gorgon River – after all, our fleet is still Blocking the river, most of the monsters trying to cross the river will be solved by the coastal defense. Only the north… The Legion front has not yet advanced there, there is a gap.”

Gawain couldn’t help but wrinkle, but he must accept this.

In the original plan, he wanted to completely block the Gorgon River and seal the entrance to the Eastern Region. This, together with the armored barriers of the Southern Region and the St. Sunil -Northern Region of the North, can be used. The cluster infection was completely blocked in the eastern part of Holy Spirit Plain, so that everything would become controllable. However, when the plan was completed, there would be an accident. From the beginning, he made the worst mental preparation: Legion went north. The speed does not necessarily catch up with the rate at which the clusters spread. It is possible for pollution to cross the Gorgon River and enter the western part of Holy Spirit Plain.

Now, the situation is only the direction of moved towards this expected direction.

But this does not mean that everything will go out of control – although the cluster infection is terrifying, but the large-scale explosion requires relatively harsh conditions, there is now evidence that the All Things Finally Die Society can pollute the entire mako crossing in a short time. It relies on the long-term preparation of the Early Stage and a large-scale sacrifice ceremony, and without these preparations and the assistance of the ceremony, the speed of the cluster infection will not exceed the general disease.

As long as the scale of pollution invading the western part of the plain does not exceed a certain critical point, as long as the local aristocracy has not been able to give up resistance in the same place, the situation will not be out of control for the time being.

“Through me to order, let Byron speed up the blockade of the northern channel, and inform Sir Wald to transfer 5,000 people from the Second Corps along the river to help block the river and clear the pollution in the West Bank.” Gawain looked towards Amber, quickly instructed, “Additional Still can’t I contact the MIB staff in St. Sunil City?”

Amber shook his head: “The secret relay station that has been extended from St. Sunil may have been destroyed, and the contact points and informants of other channels have now lost contact, including in the West Bank.”

“Maybe… I can challenge the direct flight to St. Sunil,” Sonia said suddenly. “I can send the reinforcements to Silver Castle…”

“Do you have to fly over the polluted area all the way, without stopping in the middle? Or is it a safe route from the western plains?” Gawain glanced at Sonya. “If you fly straight to St. Sunil, you have to maintain the highest altitude, people and Giant eagle can’t stand it, and there is no place for you to land on this road. If you take an arc from the western plains, the journey will be extended two to three times, plus the time of the middle giant eagle, waiting for you. Flying to St. Sunil, the Royal Capital aristocrats may have abandoned the city and fled.”

The defenders of Royal Capital must be aware of the presence of the reinforcements – this is the last consensus reached by Gawain and Victoria. A hopeless army can’t hold the city, even if they have Ainz most strong defense system, and the clear reinforcements can greatly encourage the courage of the defending soldiers, which relies on Knight to supervise and rely on pure manpower. It is especially useful in the kingdom of combat.

But the sudden turn of the situation disrupted Gawain’s plan – the sudden madness of the cluster began to move randomly throughout the plains, and the enemy distribution and safety routes that were previously difficult to detect were instantly lost, and the messenger sent to St. Sunil would Taking on even greater risks, on the other hand, the pressure on the St. Sunil by the mad clusters of troops may increase sharply, and the possibility of Royal Capital’s escaping from the abandonment of the city is rapidly increasing, and the time left for the messenger is even more insufficient.

However, St. Sunil must not be lost.

Just then, a nice but slightly cold voice suddenly came into everyone’s ears: “Ms. Sonya, is the Mage Tower in Tulipburg still there?”

Gawain looked up and saw the Northern Region Duchess – Victoria Wilde was standing at the door.

After a brief thought, Sonya was nodded: “The castle is half-destroyed, but Mage Tower is still there.”

“The tower is a high-powered communication tower,” Victoria said. “Take me in the past. With the increase in the tower, I can contact Silver Castle.”
