Chapter 1307 Surprise

For the past seven centuries, the Sentinel Tower has been an existence that monsters wandering in the wasteland avoided by fearing that even the irrational distortions and the wandering spirits that breed from the abandoned magic energy will instinctively stay away from these dangerous facilities filled with huge energy and will release purifying beams out at any time. There are very few groups of monsters approaching the Sentinel Tower, and it is unprecedented to take the initiative to launch an attack.

However, today, most of the defense functions of the Sentinel Tower have been offline. The ancient warning devices around the tower will no longer be able to fight against the gathered distorted legion of distorted bodies. The commands from the upper command nodes have dispelled the instincts entrenched in the chaotic minds of these monsters. Under one command, tens of thousands of distorted bodies and magical spirits began to turn in the wasteland, pointing their intimidating arrows to the magnificent tower located on the wasteland highlands.

At the same time, a large number of distorted bodies are still pouring in from the depths of the wasteland, replenishing the war zones on the barrier border, and continuously creating pressure on the human army on the defense line, making these stubborn mortals unable to stop the distorted bodies from acting.

Looking down from a high altitude, the entire wasteland border has been filled with countless layers of dirty waves. The almost endless distortions, trapped in the magnificent wall for seven centuries, are constantly being inspired by the "command signal" and are constantly replenishing into the "legions" that have impacted the border. The high walls that once blocked them are extinguishing one after another, and increasingly larger gaps appear on the energy barrier that shines light. The mortal army fights hard in front of those gaps, desperately trying to plug loopholes in the defense line, but the scale of the loopholes is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming an uncontrollable situation.

A half-man and half-tree monster stood on the former northern border of Gondor, overlooking the distant scene from the high hills. The army was like a tide, hitting the gap at the end of the barrier, and also hitting the magnificent sentry tower in the distance that was still floating in the air. He saw a wave of the distorted legion finally approaching the base of the tower. The giant mutant individuals with almost the same size as the city gate stopped on the plain in front of the base. Surrounded by countless cannon fodder, the giant "beasts" with dirty flesh and blood were leaning down and fixed themselves to the ground with their deformed hands and feet. The bone spur structure growing parallel behind them pointed to the tower floating in the air.

The bone spurs behind the "big beast" were filled with bright light. The highly compressed magic energy caused a sharp roar in the air. After a moment of accumulation of power, an attack like a beam cannon cut through the air and bombarded violently on the spectacular tower.

The surface of the tower quickly rippled with layers of ripples. The energy shield on the tower body blocked the high-energy beam released by the giant distortion. Then, some magic mechanisms set on the base of the tower began to launch a sparse counterattack. Arcane missiles and arcs swept across the wilderness. The only remaining automatic defensive firepower killed some distortions that were too close, but more "big beasts" gathered on the plains, and one after another, the high-energy beams began to continuously bombard the upper structure of the Sentinel Tower.

The roar of artillery fire from afar shook the earth, the increasingly pungent smell in the air stimulated the nerves of the soldiers, the earth under his feet was trembling, the clouds in the sky were burning, but in the eyes of the young communication commander, the most important thing in the whole world was the signal relay hub that stopped working in a semi-buried bunker not far away.

Fendil Wilder led the only four remaining soldiers through the toxic wasteland covered with rugged rocks and pungent dust. The airflow rolled up due to the collapse of the magnificent wall rolled up uninterruptedly, blowing his short silver hair into a mess. His originally neat military uniform is now full of mud and damaged. Blood-seeking wounds can be seen in his cracked sleeves. He passed a low natural stone wall. The communication relay bunker that lost response appeared a few hundred meters away. The concrete vault half buried underground looked quite complete.

"There is no sign of being attacked. It may be that the energy released during the out-of-control process of the Magnificent Wall destroyed the structure of the repeater. Fortunately, unfortunately."

Fendir made a quick judgment in his heart, and took steps forward while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, but at this moment, a soldier who was always following him suddenly pointed to the sky not far away and shouted: "Sir! Look over there!"

"There is..." Fendir subconsciously shouted, but when he looked up and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, the second half of the sentence in his throat was swallowed back into his stomach.

He saw that the surface of the Sentinel Tower floating in the air was constantly blooming with bright electric arcs, filled with dirty red energy balls bombarding the middle of the tower one after another. The remaining energy at the top of the Sentinel Tower had already become weaker, and under the continuous attacks, the light curtains that barely extend out on both sides of the tower began to collapse faster and faster, and the increasingly thin energy barrier was shaking like a candle in the wind.

"Those monsters want to completely destroy the tower!" Another soldier shouted in horror. "Once the tower is completely destroyed, even if the elves restart the barrier, the gap on our side will never be blocked!"

Fendir stared at his eyes, and the screams of his soldiers echoed in his ears, and the flashes of the tower in the distance continued to shine in his eyes. However, as a communication captain with only a few soldiers under his command, as a lower-level officer who was trapped in the vast battlefield, he suddenly found that he was powerless to stop all this.

But the next second, his eyes fell on the communication relay point not far away. The howling cold wind on the wasteland made him awake. He ignored the meaningless personal sadness in his mind, took his only remaining soldiers and rushed towards the bunker.

The exterior of the bunker was not destroyed, and Fendir quickly rushed into the semi-buried fortification with his soldiers. At first glance, he saw the extinguished magic net terminal in the center of the artificial pit and two Cecil soldiers who died near the terminal.

There were no signs of enemy attack around the dead soldiers, but the shocking burning could be seen near the chest of the corpse, piercing through the wounds, and the high temperature was burned on the ground next to the magic net terminal. The energy amplification array and spare magic storage crystals that should have been set up nearby have all turned into charred debris.

During the process of the Magnificent Wall, energy pulses were randomly released to the surrounding area. One of the energy pulses might have just swept through this communication base, causing the key equipment to be overloaded and out of control. The soldiers stationed here may have tried to rescue the most important magic net terminal. They rushed to the equipment in the center of the fortification, and then were suddenly detonated and killed by the energy device, which can explain why their fatal injuries were located in the chest.

Fendir's eyes swept over the dead. He roughly judged what had happened here, but at this time there was no time to bury his comrades. He ordered his soldiers to move the dead's dead to the side first, make room for maintenance equipment, and immediately lay down next to the magic net terminal and began to replace the structure that had been overloaded and burned inside.

After he started to be busy, a soldier who was working next to him suddenly frowned and whispered uneasy: "Sir, do you feel...we are constantly shaking under our bodies?"

"The entire strip plain is shaking," Fendir said without raising his head, "that is artillery fire from afar, and the movements of monsters attacking the Sentinel Tower. If you waste too much time here, then you have to face more than this vibration!"

"Yes, sir," the soldier quickly agreed loudly when he heard the lesson, but after a moment he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "It seems that the vibration is getting stronger and stronger...it's like something is approaching..."

Fendir ignored his subordinates' murmuring. He just quickly installed the new components into the empty slot of the communication device, and directly used his magic to carve the rune substrate that had been completely melted on some structures in the terminal. While busy with operation, he looked up quickly and looked at the narrow window in the fortification towards the wasteland of Gondor with a worried look through the narrow air window. He saw the shield on the surface of the Sentinel Tower floating in the air flickering, and the entire tower body had begun to vibrate violently, and an extremely uneasy harsh whistling sound kept coming from the direction of the plain, stimulating everyone's mind.

At this moment, a low buzzing sound suddenly came from the magic net terminal base in front of him. The device that extinguished the damaged finally regained its vitality in his hands, and the communication with the distant places was connected.

Focusing crystal barely lit up, projecting a blurred phantom. Fendir didn't bother to continue debugging the system. He suppressed his heartbeat too fast, and while switching the device to emergency forwarding mode, he called all the terminals he could contact here: "This is Cecil's communications non-commissioned officer Fendir Wilder. In an emergency, the distorted man is attacking Sentinel Tower No. 98! The distorted man is attacking Sentinel Tower No. 98! I can see their assembly direction here, and the main force of the attack is roughly southwest of the Black Hills..."

A loud bang rang out at this moment, interrupting Fendir's continuous calls and broadcasts, interrupting the movements of all soldiers in the communication bunker, and even interrupting the howling artillery fire on the battlefield for a while, interrupting the chaotic wind that roared back between monsters and humans.

Then there was a second loud bang, and a series of harsh howling and roaring.

The last shield light on the surface of the Sentinel Tower in the distance was extinguished by the whistling sound. The powerful beam cannon destroyed a major energy pipeline in the tower. A loud noise came from the sky. The rifts filled with flames from the tower were instantly filled with the tower. Then the out-of-control energy resonated with a fatal resonance between the base of the tower and the anti-gravity mechanism on the tower body.

The surface of the Sentinel Tower, which has been guarding this line of defense for seven hundred years, began to occur countless chain explosions. The tough ancient alloy frame prevented the main body of the tower from being completely divided in these explosions, but the entire tower's functions have reached an end irreversibly. After a moment of shaking (this shaking is more like the last struggle of a dying giant), the giant tower floating in the sky landed, first destroying its own base, then crushing the hills below, and finally falling to the hills in the southeast in a slow but terrifying manner.

The energy barrier extending from the two wings of the tower was finally completely extinguished, and part of the structure of the magnificent wall finally disappeared forever at this moment, turning into a terrible gap that extends from the southern border of Cecil to the northern defense line of Tifeng.

In the communication bunker, a soldier stared at the terrifying scene in the distance, watching the barrier that had been standing on the border of the civilized world for hundreds of years, as if some natural phenomenon had completely extinguished and disappeared in front of him. The huge impact even overwhelmed all the tension and fear. He just stared in that direction like other soldiers, and after a long time, he squeezed out a voice from his throat: "Sir... the wall collapsed..."

"I saw it," Fendir said almost gritted his teeth. Only in this way could he barely maintain his calmness. Although he was also a "non-commissioned officer graduate" who had just stepped onto the battlefield, he had to maintain his calmness in front of his soldiers. "We will immediately move to confirm the backup route. The energy impact just now may have damaged the communication between us and Tifeng again. Now the magic network terminal is full of noise..."

As he spoke quickly, Fendir stepped out of the cover. He felt that he was calm enough, but he was almost tripped by a green vine that had emerged from the nearby soil and staggered forward for two steps. At least he grabbed a pillar and did not fall into the ground in a mess. He stood at the exit of the fortifications and stared at the direction of the wasteland of Gondor in the rough and cold wind, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

But in the next second, he seemed to suddenly react to something, and suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction he had just walked, looking at the thing that almost tripped him.

...

The Sentinel Tower collapsed, and the barrier that blocked the wasteland for seven hundred years, representing the stupidity and stubbornness of mortals was finally torn a permanent gap.

The Druid Priest, who was responsible for attacking the northern defense, left the high ground where he was, and re-adjusted the main striker of the distorted legion surrounded by the guards, and began to concentrate the offensive pressure on the newly opened gap. A burst of excitement filled his already heterogeneous nervous system, dispelling the depression and anger accumulated in his heart since the war began.

His anger was justified since the war began, and all branches of the legion were sending information about smooth advancement. Almost every unit advancing outward crushed the resistance force formed by the ridiculous "Alliance". The army rushed out of the wasteland had the advantage of sudden attacks and huge numbers. Good news came frequently on all fronts, but he was the only exception.

The tenacious resistance of the Cecils and their wildly unreasonable, neurotic firepower piled up all the hardships that caused the distorted legion of the attack on the northern defense.

The firepower that TM had blown up the entire earth several times was not something that humans could do! Even the nerve signals feedback from the TM monsters felt that the humans on the opposite side were monsters!

But now everything is well, and the humiliation of the officer's attack being frustrated has been compensated for the moment the Sentinel Tower fell.

No matter how tenacious the will of the Cecils and how powerful the firepower is, they cannot block a gap that can almost tear the dark mountains.

They could only watch the tide of distorted bodies crossed their lines of defense, rushed into their homes, tearing their brothers and friends apart.

"Give them a huge surprise!"

The dark druid, who was as shaped as a combination of hideous trees and ugly humans, shouted loudly, and driven by his will, the distorted bodies gathered into a dark tide, rushing towards the mountain pass on the east side of the dark mountains.

Then, he felt the vibration in the depths of the earth

At first, he thought it was the roar of artillery fire from afar, and then, he thought it was the army under his command that was shaking the scorched earth.

But then he found that it was not, the vibration came from deeper and farther away.

It was as if some extremely huge creature was hiking deep in the soil, as if there was something terrible... or some structure deep in the earth was breaking out of the ground.

"Master!!!" The lower priest's roar of horror interrupted the dark druid's thoughts, "Something came out from the ground!!"

The dark druids in charge of commanding the legion subconsciously looked up and looked to the end of the legion ahead.

There, countless nightmarish hideous giant vines broke out from the depths of the earth, and instantly reorganized and transformed into towering trees. The thorny vines whipped the scorched earth that was once located at the foot of the magnificent wall. The strong distortions, huge "big beasts", poisonous biochemical synthetic beasts and magic monsters, which should have been hideous and terrifying creatures, were pierced one after another, rolled into the air, and struggling and twisting at the high altitude, like flying insects caught by Venus Fly Eat.

An amazing green forest barrier was penetrating the land on the border of the black forest and formed in a very short time, while a vaguely familiar female voice had somehow crossed this vast battlefield and exploded in the dark druid's nervous system:
