Chapter 534 Fierce Battle, the Worst Result Occurs
"BOOM—!!"
The eastern section of the encirclement, on an ice field about three kilometers away from the defensive line.
A hole more than ten meters in diameter was suddenly blasted open in the permafrost.
Ice shards and gravel flew everywhere, making the surrounding mechanical dogs clang loudly.
A huge head covered in gray-black scales burst out of the hole.
Its head resembles a living tunnel boring machine, with sharp teeth at the front rotating at high speed, swallowing up rubble.
With a terrifying diameter of over ten meters and a length of over a hundred meters, it is undoubtedly a terrifying behemoth!
After wriggling for more than ten seconds, the giant creature, which was over a hundred meters long, finally emerged completely from the ground, lay on the broken ice, shook its head, and writhed in pain.
Because all the nearby mechanical dogs and "Rock" platforms had already automatically locked onto them, they launched an attack immediately.
Dozens of plasma beams and projectiles were simultaneously unleashed.
The burrowing dragon let out a painful roar, and sparks flew from its scales, which were instantly riddled with holes.
Its defenses aren't top-notch, but the biggest problem isn't the creature itself, it's the hole behind it.
At this moment, a "rustling" sound is coming from the dark tunnel entrance.
Immediately, a large number of demons poured out of the tunnel like a flood bursting its banks.
Roars, howls, and the cracking sound of fangs hitting the ground.
Within seconds, a dark mass of monsters spread out around the cave entrance.
"Report! A burrowing dragon has broken through the surface three kilometers outside the eastern defensive line!"
"Massive demon infantry units are pouring out of the tunnels!"
Before the words were finished, another voice rang out.
"The western section has also seen an outbreak! It's two kilometers from the defensive line!"
"Oh no, there's one to the due south!"
On the large screen's situation map, red dots are sprouting outwards from the outer edge of the blue encircling circle, as if they've grown roots.
Next to each red dot, an even denser red color is rapidly spreading out.
Looking at the situation map, Zheng Jinren immediately gave the order.
"Long-range artillery support!!"
"Not a single one can be let out!! Not even one!!"
The moment the order was given, everyone along the entire defensive line that could be attacked from a distance opened fire.
Those self-propelled howitzers, tanks, plasma cannons, electromagnetic guns, and so on, are all changing direction to provide fire support to other sections of the road.
After eliminating the burrowing dragon immediately and preventing it from returning underground, the plasma rapid-fire cannon on the "Rock" six-legged platform was the first to turn its muzzle.
Blue and white shells were fired at a rate of twelve per second, carving out scorched furrows in front of the cave entrance from which the demons emerged.
The hit demon didn't even have time to scream before half its body was burned through by the plasma blast, and it fell to the ground, blocking its companions behind it.
The monsters behind them simply stepped over the corpses and climbed out.
The pack of mechanical dogs charged forward, attacking at point-blank range.
The quadruped platform nimbly weaved through shattered ice and craters, its rapid-fire weapon on its back sweeping the nearest demon.
Each robotic dog has enough ammunition to fire two hundred rounds with extremely high accuracy.
Dozens of inferior demons simultaneously pounced on a mechanical dog, only to be mowed down by its continuous barrage of fire.
Suddenly, a bone spear shot out, piercing through the mechanical dog, which fell to the ground and exploded in sparks.
Another mechanical dog immediately took its place, continuing to hold the front line and prevent the demon army from attacking the rear positions.
The two sides fought back and forth.
In the sky, a formation of attack drones swooped down.
Swarms of drones, like a swarm of bees, precisely bombed the entrances of those underground tunnels.
Small bombs exploded at the entrance of the cave, kicking up large clouds of ice shards and black blood mist.
Several missiles were shoved directly into the tunnel entrance, and the flames from the explosions shot out of the tunnel.
The tunnel entrance was temporarily blocked.
But soon, the rubble blocking the way was forced open by the demons inside.
More monsters emerged.
Several heavily armored demon soldiers, noticeably larger in size, emerged from the rubble.
They were covered in black carapaces and wielded huge bone shields.
When the plasma bomb hit the shield, it only created a series of sparks and left a burnt dent.
"It's a Tier 4 heavily armored magic soldier! The plasma rapid-fire cannon has limited damage to its armor!"
"Calling on the Rock Platform to focus firepower!"
All three "rocks" turned towards the same heavily armored demon soldier at the same time.
Three plasma beams converged at the center of the shield, and the intense orange-red heat burned a hole in the shield.
The heavily armored demon soldier roared, threw away his shield, and charged forward.
Then, a fifth-tier robot behind him blasted half of his body apart with a single shot.
The fifth-order bipedal robot strode heavily to the front line.
Each step left a deep footprint on the ice.
Its left arm is a plasma main cannon, and its right arm holds a high-frequency Zhengjin blade.
Faced with hordes of demons below the fourth rank, it is a mobile killing machine.
One shot, one kill; close-range enemies are cleaved in two.
A fourth-tier Corruptor crawled out of the cave entrance, its large tumor on its back wriggling, and a clump of green slime rose into the air.
The next second, it was launched into the sky by cubic nitrogen explosives dropped by the drone.
The slick of slime sprayed directly onto an armored vehicle a kilometer away.
The armored vehicle melted away as quickly as ice cream exposed to fire.
Following closely behind, more fourth-tier demons appeared one after another.
The pressure on the defense line has increased dramatically!
But the defenses held.
With sufficient firepower density, the unmanned army under unified AI command maintains an efficient crossfire network.
Every demon that appears will be locked on, focused on, and killed within seconds.
The corpses piled up at the entrance of the cave, growing higher and higher.
But the demons behind the cave didn't care at all.
They crawled out over the corpses of their companions, one after another.
Zheng Jinren stared at the situation map, his eyes flickering slightly. Fortunately, the current firepower was barely enough to suppress the situation.
As long as the seventh-tier Demon Lord doesn't come down, this defensive line can be held.
As long as they don't come down....
……
Three thousand meters above the ruins of the Liberty.
The seven afterimages continued to dart back and forth, intercepting the incoming missiles, but these were all long-range attacks, no longer close-range interceptions.
This greatly reduces the threat posed by nuclear weapons, but the advantage is that the success rate of interception is also decreasing.
One of the afterimages suddenly stopped.
It was a winged demon lord with a wingspan of over twenty meters, its entire body covered in jet-black scales, and four scarlet eyes looking down at the ground.
He saw it.
A dozen kilometers away, flames soared into the sky, as flames slaughtered their own demon army.
The explosions, the dense bullet trajectories, and the endless falling monsters...
The Winged Demon Lord's eyes flashed, and he had an idea.
It immediately folded its wings and swooped down from a height of three thousand meters like a meteorite.
The speed reaches 1,200 meters per second.
The sonic boom exploded behind it, spreading out in a cone shape.
On the ice, a bright red marker suddenly popped up on the helmet displays of the soldiers in the northern section of the encirclement.
That was a warning from the situational awareness system!
"Warning! High-speed target approaching! Seventh-tier Demon Lord level! Position: above ten o'clock!"
Everyone looked up, searching desperately, but saw nothing.
Because it was too fast.
At the same time, a strong palpitation arises, as if there is a bomb above one's head that could explode at any moment, making it impossible to concentrate on the things in front of one's eyes.
Panic.
It was clearly a seventh-tier domain power, which had the effect of lowering one's fighting spirit!
By the time the soldiers heard the sonic boom, the Winged Demon Lord had already reached the very front of the defensive line!
