After passing through the position, the lightning climbed to a high altitude again, and then...stopped.

"What's wrong?" Maisie asked with her head raised.

She did not answer, but turned around and looked down at Taqila in the dark night sky. Two hundred meters was almost the limit of her visual distance. To find a demon-killer under such conditions is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But it doesn't matter if she can't see it.

Lightning knew that the other party could see her.

Judging from the direction of Taqila, she should be facing the moon at this moment. As long as the demon-killer raises her head, it is impossible to ignore the dark shadow in the moon white.

But it didn't chase after it.

The only reason may be that the other party has realized that her speed is far beyond its reach.

It gave up on the pointless attempt.

She won this game!

Lightning took a deep breath and stretched out her right hand into the night. Although her fingertips were still trembling slightly, she still plucked up her courage to raise her middle finger.

That was the gesture of victory that His Majesty taught her!

Then she turned her direction and flew towards her camp without looking back, while telling Sylvie everything she saw.

"Is the regular cylinder of the Stone of Divine Punishment... I understand." The latter recorded the approximate size and handed it over to Agesha. Estimating the shape of the shadow and the location of the stone pillar based on the volume of the divine stone is a basic skill for the high-level members of the Exploration Association. Soon, the revised data was transmitted back to the observation room.

Although there is visual error in this, it is better than firing randomly. After using the Magic Eye to determine the location, Sylvey picked up the phone of the artillery battalion.

After a moment, the first roar broke out from the fortress cannon position!

Although the flames that emerged from the chamber flashed like fireflies, they were still extremely eye-catching to the plains shrouded in darkness.

Especially when more artillery fires join the attack, the light from the muzzle even faintly reflects the outline of the position. Sometimes the tail of the flame brought out by the warhead will draw a short trajectory, as if it is a meteor jumping from the earth.

On the other end, the echo of the explosion continued, and the fertile plain in the sleeping fertile soil was finally awakened.

"So beautiful..." Maisie looked at the artillery position that appeared and disappeared without blinking, and murmured in a daze.

Lightning stood in the wind, clenching its fists.

Now, there is only the last level left.

...

Erskul floated in the air, watching indifferently as the mud pillars rise up in front and behind its troops. This is the most threatening attack method for humans to date. As long as the projectile lands in the army, it can instantly take away the lives of more than ten original bodies. And its power does not need to be displayed through contact. Even if it is dozens of meters apart, the iron sheets shot out of the projectile are enough to pierce the armor and tear the flesh and blood.

Even it wasn't sure to block a direct strike.

In the report handed over to the Lord of the Sky, it named this weapon "Rain of Fire".

In addition, there are "fire crossbows" that can continuously fire crossbow arrows, and "fire branches" that can be carried by a single person... All the current evolution of human beings undoubtedly comes from the element of fire. Compared with the "inheritance promotion" that the Maharaja believes, it tends to be a coincidence in the diversification of abilities, and witches are better. If a suitable awakener appears in the past few hundred years, and humans have long-term research on fire, it is not impossible to achieve a large-scale improvement.

But even if humans embark on a path that is completely deviating from them, it does not mean that they are helpless. For example, the rolling stones made by the original vein of the Divine Punishment show a hardness that is enough to resist the rain of fire. Ersk clearly saw that the divine stones remained intact during several frontal strikes and violent explosions. When the opponent's throwing object hit the edge of the stone pillar, it would even bounce open directly, and even a pit would not be left behind.

The real danger is the fire rain that happened to cross the stone pillar and smash into the "tombstone" group. Their invulnerable armor is vulnerable to the fire rain. As long as you get it, you will basically end up in a split end.

Ironically, Wang Zeng had high hopes for this symbiosis that was extremely strong, neither painful nor fearful, and believed that it was the most valuable breakthrough from the "inheritance fragments", which not only greatly enhanced the supply capacity of the front line, but also enriched the combat methods of the clan. Only one hundred tombstones were needed to completely wipe out the lower insects in the eyes of most clans.

So the Maharaja handed over to it not many tombstones, exactly one hundred.

As a result, after more than half a year of battle, not only did humans not be wiped out, but Taqira was already shaky. And less than 40% of the tombstones that Esluk can still drive now remain.

If the Lord of the Sky did not trust the King too much at this point, how could it be so stretched now?

If these symbionts are consumed on the road, they can only let the primitives resist.

That's not much different from dying, and the impact of the fire rain hitting the divine punishment stone pillar is definitely not something that the original body can fight against. Even the black ray of stone claws on the tombstone may be broken, let alone the physical body?

But Ersk doesn't care.

Because these sacrifices are worth it.

And humans... will pay the price for their sacrifice.

...

At 10 o'clock in the evening, underground command center.

The battle has lasted for nearly three hours. Every five minutes, the iron axe will hear the dull shelling sound from above the head, and at the same time, it will fall with sparse dust.

Apart from this, there was no movement on the position, as if the devil did not launch a general attack, and the first army was firing into the air from beginning to end.

This is very different from previous war experiences.

In order to save ammunition and protect the gun barrel, he has already allowed the artillery battalion to extend the shooting interval and aimed most of the firepower behind the black shadow. The problem is that even if such a blow causes real damage to the devil, the results of the battle cannot be observed through the demon eyes.

The only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that the 152mm fortress cannon cannot destroy the divine punishment stone pillar. Although the dense shelling can minimize the movement speed of the shadow, it will always recover. I don’t know how the Spider Demon made such a big guy roll through the crater.

"Damn it," Iron Axe punched the table in annoyance, "If it were daytime, these monsters wouldn't have survived now!"

The biggest trouble the First Army has encountered at present is that no one knows where the shell landed. If the artillery wants to hit the target, it must correct the landing point through multiple test shots. However, facing two blind spots that are more than 150 meters wide and approximately infinite length, each shooting is equivalent to a test shot without feedback.

According to Silvey's observation, the Demon-Slaying Man did not break into the camp, but kept swimming above the black shadow, obviously guarding against lightning. Although the latter's speed is above the enemy, high-speed flight consumes a lot of magic power. It's okay not to be afraid of interspersing twice. It's always hovering above the black shadow, and providing a landing position while getting rid of the Demon-Slaying Man. The danger is too high.

Not getting feedback means no additional blows.

In this way, it becomes difficult to quickly eliminate the enemy's living forces through dense firepower.

The situation at this moment is like a bet. He can pour all the shells into the black shadow and stop advancing completely, but as long as the enemy retreats the Spider Demon, the First Army is wasting ammunition.

In addition, there are also many mad demons on the two wings outside the shadow, as if they want to form a double-team. If the cannons are aimed at them, they can immediately know the result of the battle, but these devils are very sparsely distributed, and it makes people feel a pity to deal with them.

"That's why the enemy will attack at night." Itis said calmly, "This is a gratifying result... Without Sylvie's words, let alone the dark shadows, we may not even know where the enemy is. Besides, the devil is always on the side of being beaten, and it is not in a hurry, so why should you care?"

"I just don't want to waste the ammunition I've finally accumulated." Iron Axe frowned.

"Don't worry, they can't push that thing all the time. I think the other party knows this. They will launch a general attack when they approach the range of the mortar." Northland Pearl raised the corner of their mouth slightly, "It's a pity that the devil doesn't know that the night is only temporary. When they enter the range of the flares, it's time to decide the outcome."
