Chapter 166 Fierce beasts descend from heaven
The Immortal Army was established in the 16th year of the Colonial War and has a history of 34 years, but in a sense, this is another "new army" because this army has hardly experienced large-scale wars.
For the Red Blood Empire, the largest war was the Second Patriotic War, and the undead army at that time was called the "Death Prison Camp".
Later, the Northern Territory Autonomous and the Eagle King invaded the West and abandoned the oath, the number of undead troops in the expeditionary army was only 100,000.
The Fourth Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition was pacified in seven years and the Jiangnan was determined for three years. The judges of the Judicial Council and the Western Regions Army that surrendered in a hurry. Luo You's undead army did not participate in the key battles of the Northern Expedition on a large scale.
Therefore, except for those veterans who were born in death row camps and the elite undead army that the Eagle King invaded the West, at least 2-3 of the 600,000 undead army stationed in Chang'an had no war experience.
When the drill rig fell, these soldiers who had been on the front battlefield for the first time were frightened and their legs became weak, fell to the ground, and lost their combat effectiveness. Even the veterans who had experienced the baptism of war trembled their lips and turned pale. Faced with this unknown blow and the increasingly strange fog around them, they felt as if they had been divided into terrifying hells.
"The command of each team, stabilize the formation! Those who retreated from the war will be executed immediately!" Chu Fan held the communicator and shouted loudly, "Observation whistle, change to infrared telescope! Lock the enemy's position!"
Not long after, the communicator replied: "Commander-in-chief! There is unknown hot smoke in the center of the fog, and the infrared telescope cannot be used!"
"Is the anti-fog telescope useful?!"
"Not even possible, the fog is too strong, and it exceeds the adjustment range, and our observation equipment has lost its function!"
"Damn it, what kind of fog is this?! Let the teams stand by and don't move without orders!" Although Chu Fan was also very nervous, he knew that he was the commander-in-chief of the city defense. Others could be afraid, but he could not be afraid, at least he could not show it on his face, otherwise the entire army would panic!
"There is a sound..." Chu Fan frowned. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the strange sound coming from the fog. Unlike the oil drill bit, the sound now... is mixed with the friction of metal, the low collision sound, and the increasingly intense engine acceleration sound...
Suddenly, Chu Fan looked shocked, and he shouted: "Arson fire! Look for cover!" The guard next to him directly grabbed Chu Fan and pulled him behind the cover.
Almost at the same time, a deafening sound of cannons suddenly came from the heavy fog, mixed with sharp whistling sounds followed one after another, and many people covered their ears in pain in the noise.
The shelling was like rain. At this moment, the entire Chang'an City was trembling in the terrifying sound of cannons. In the sky covered by heavy fog, countless black shadows were smashing towards Chang'an like meteorites. The soldiers were panicked in search of cover, just like ants on a hot pan!
"Boom boom boom..." It was like an earthquake, some of the shells fell on the city wall, but more of them fell on the city, hit the streets, and hit the houses. What was strange was that these shells not only did not explode when they hit the ground, but even a trace of sparks did not appear!
These shells are spherical in shape, of varying sizes, with the smallest radius only one meter, while the large radius can reach three meters. Their surface is shining with dazzling metallic luster. Many shells with severe impacts have irregular shapes, but none of them exploded!
Some soldiers said in disbelief: "Dude...dude?"
"Every team, keep a safe distance from the shells immediately!" Chu Fan frowned. It was weird. The situation was too strange. It was understandable that a shell was a dud. There were hundreds of shells that had just been bombed into Chang'an. How could it be all dud?! What the hell is the Cross Church doing?!
If it's a time delay bomb...
Thinking of this, Chu Fan's whole body was wet with cold sweat. If these hundreds of shells were time-delay bombs, the purpose was to attract undead soldiers to go to check. Once it exploded during the inspection, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, things did not explode as Chu Fan imagined. None of these shells exploded, and they were still stuck in the ground silently, without even a trace of movement. For a moment, Chu Fan really doubted whether these shells were duds produced by the Cross Church due to negligence. But soon, Chu Fan realized that this naive thought should not appear in his mind!
Just as the soldiers were evacuating the bombing area quickly and trying to maintain a safe distance from the shells, a soldier suddenly approached a shell carefully, and he shouted: "Look! Something flowed out of these shells!"
The soldier's words immediately attracted the attention of his comrades around him. A bold soldier even dipped his fingers a little liquid flowing out of the shells, rubbed it carefully, frowned and said, "It's so sticky, and there's a strange smell...it seems to be some kind of shock-absorbing liquid!"
Just as he finished speaking, a drastic change suddenly occurred! The shell's shell was broken from the inside without any warning, and a sharp object with a metallic luster drilled out. The sharp object was extremely slender, like an enlarged sword blade, penetrated the soldier's body without any obstacle...
"What...East...West..." The soldier who was pierced down his head blankly and looked at his chest. Before he screamed, the spikes that pierced his chest suddenly moved suddenly. The soldier's body was torn apart in an instant, and scarlet blood mist filled the surroundings.
The fear of the soldiers around them was ignited. They pulled the trigger frantically and hit the bullet unreservedly at the spike. At first, the bullet could only make sporadic sparks on the metallic-shiny sharp shell, but not long after, the bullet penetrated the shell and black blood burst out. At the same time, a strange roar that made the scalp tingling came from the shell!
Just like some kind of fuse, the strange roars began to spread wildly, from near to far, roars sounded from giant shells of different sizes, tangled together in the air to form a terrifying wave of sound, spreading towards the entire inland Chang'an.
"Are these things..." Chu Fan looked at the shells falling everywhere in the city in shock, and said two words, "Feither beast?!".
"Roar roar roar!..." The shells scattered everywhere were broken from inside one after another, and the viscous liquid spilled all over the ground. At this time, the soldiers of the Immortal Army finally saw the source of the roar.
"Hiss..." A mantis-shaped ferocious beast tore open the shell shell and walked out from it. Its height is close to 4 meters, and its body is wrapped in a pitch-black shell, emitting a dazzling metallic luster. The terrifying razor-like forelimbs make people unsurprisingly able to cut everything in front of them.
The mantis-shaped ferocious beast shook his head and looked at the soldier who fell to the ground in front of him with bulging eyes. Its mouthpiece kept chewing, as if looking forward to a big meal. The giant foot sickle kept slashing on the ground in front of him, and the concrete ground was cut off like tofu, which was shocking.
