Chapter 675: The Sinking of a -Class (Part 1)
m joined my grandfather's deck as powerful magical mechanical cards!"Huh These were all... Mage Cards before" Brito looked around, this was simply unbelievable."Yes, oh yes, with their help, my grandf...Before the glaciers had even formed, the Dragon Guard's warhammers were already here.
It takes at least two turns to draw cards and form the 【Glacier】, because a three-foot-thick ice doesn't form in a day. But Huo Qubing obviously won't give his opponent that time.
The glacier is still in stage one. Most of the vents are disabled due to the frost effect.
An air ban was in place, but the Dragon Guard's ground troops were equally formidable.
Attacking from the weak points, he slashed at the ice wall with his heavy flying swords. As the wall crumbled, countless guards perished.
Without heavy weaponry, few can stand against the charge of a heavily armed legion.
The Guard's star rank isn't low, and their combat morale is also very high. The armored cavalry repeatedly tried to use charges to rout these black-clad canisters.
But these creatures, over three meters tall with scales tightly compressed together, wielded lances longer than six meters.
He was riddled with bullets on his way to the charge.
The commander attempted to use the thin ice zone to lure these dragon-shaped, can-like high-quality cavalry into an icy trap.
But this armor is powered and completely ineffective.
They are still moving forward, constantly moving forward.
The holy beast tamers stopped the cavalry's advance, their last resort.
"My lords, we are now powerless to stop this cavalry reaching the Dragoncrown cliff. We must find a way to prevent them from damaging Leviathan. It is a desperate measure."
"Sir, there's only one way. Since maintaining the glacier is failing and the Leviathan-class is almost thawed, I think we should fully thaw the behemoth. Let it operate in all its parts. Although it attacks indiscriminately, compared to being stationary, the destructive power level has increased several orders of magnitude. The enemy army at least can't destroy it."
"You mean, sacrificing our entire research district to let the behemoths run wild" The holy beast frowned.
"Yes, this is the only way. Although the enemy's heavy cavalry are ferocious, my subordinates speculate that they are operating deep behind enemy lines and their supplies and maintenance must also be problematic. They will soon retreat. After they withdraw, we can sink the Leviathan-class battleship again and continue dismantling it."
The holy beast pondered, taking a deep breath.
Since the research area is already in shambles, it's better to just abandon it. Leviathan cannot be destroyed by the enemy.
Your card "Frostbite" state has been lifted.
Your card is being resurrected.
Due to the card's properties, you will not be able to control this card.
"The card 【Leviathan (Dragon Bone Prototype)】 has been Special Summoned to the field."
Both armies fought for three days, and the guard unit deployed on the glacier was completely wiped out. Huo Qubing's troops just broke through the glacier, and Longguanshan in the distance was within sight.
Just then, the whole mountain collapsed.
Ho Qubing's reaction was swift. He immediately ordered his troops to scatter like dragons.
Then, with a deafening roar, the skeleton of a colossal beast, its size blotting out the sun, emerged from the mountainside.
Its icy exterior shook loose, revealing a form resembling a whale but appearing to be little more than skeletal from afar.
This monster is estimated to be half the size of Xiyang City!
Zhang asked Fei came over, elbowed Huo Qubing, and with a crisp sound.
"General, this is the holy sword you've been talking about all along"
Huo Qubing originally thought his holy sword was within reach, but what he got instead was this thing.
The whole person is not good.
With fury, my crown flares! Standing at the railing, the rain has stopped, ah!!!!
Didn't they have anything better to hide
The troops were on high alert, only to discover it was all for nothing. The behemoth was completely out of control and far more interested in the enemy than itself.
At this moment, a whalebone is ravaging the entire land.
"Capture one enemy and ask him what's going on." Huo Qubing's face was ashen.
Soon, the dragon guards brought in a person.
"General, we found him in the area ravaged by behemoths."
When Huo Qubing saw him, he realized that this man did not look like a soldier, but more like a scholar. He was stiff with cold all over.
He was about to freeze to death, come someone, use a device to blow hot air on him.
Under the warm flames, the head of the research group quickly regained consciousness, only to find himself surrounded by enemies.
"Do you know your situation"
"I see." The squad leader nodded. "A general from across the strait, I was also brought here by the Sanctuary for research. I'll say anything."
"What is that" Huo Qubing pointed to the giant beast in the distance.
A Leviathan-class prototype, a gigantic war weapon of the Sanctuary conceived but never born, its dragon bones remain.
In just ten minutes, Huo Qubing realized that this was a massive "whale" constructed after the Battle of Nanwan. Like Kunyu, its purpose was to mount a field domain on a giant beast for deploying and supplying troops in battle.
However, there were many problems during the construction period, which dragged on until today.
Recently, due to military setbacks, the Sanctuary planned to transfer its research resources to Troy. This included a whale-like monster named Leviathan. However, because my sudden assault on the core area caught them off guard, they hadn't had time to dismantle it.
To prevent the behemoths from being destroyed while stationary, the high council of the Sanctuary decided to evacuate from the Dragon Crown Research District and release the behemoths, allowing them to run rampant. As long as they weren't destroyed, it didn't matter.
All the researchers have been killed, and the team leader, who was the first to go defrost the ice layer, luckily survived.
The more Huo Qubing listened, the blacker his face became.
Where's the holy sword!! Where's the Holy Grail!!
Once this is released, the research area will be gone without lifting a finger. This trip can truly be called a glorious victory.
But did Huo Qubing lack military merit He lacked military funds!!!!
He glanced at his new car.
That thing [builds wooden structures] burns so well!!!
He knew how difficult it was to build and maintain this cavalry unit. A total of 189 men, it had consumed the family's decades of production capacity and reserves, costing more than gold.
After all that effort, we came out empty-handed. Not a single penny earned. From now on, when people gather to chat over tea and food, they'll say, "That legendary general from the Millennium War, Huo Qubing Is that all he was capable of"
“Alright, General. Let’s go. Without heavy firepower, we won't be able to take this down anytime soon. The wooden construction can even burn for half a year. Let’s go back,” Zhang Wen said. “Be sure to bring the news back to Marshal Lu as quickly as possible.”
"Impossible!!! " Huo Qubing gritted his teeth: "No matter what, this is the Sacred Sword!!! We don't have heavy firepower, but the Navy does! If we take this back, all we have to do is sink it in Bei Ming instead of Longguan Mountain. Then whatever is fished up belongs to us!!!"
"Huh " Zhang Wen widened his eyes and exclaimed, "General, you're lost, aren't you Do you know how far this place is from Beiming"
"Don't worry about me, go find two quick-witted people. Go back the way you came and tell Lu Shuai that since they have nothing to do, give them something to do. We have a big treasure with us on the road!"
"General, how did you do it"
"Lao Zhang, if you were the enemy, and you found someone trying to lure this person away, what would you do"
"Long-range firepower strike." Lao Zhang thought for a moment and said, "This thing is about half the size of a saltyang, with defenses like a fortress. It's not easy to deal with. Ordinary long-range attacks won't work, it would take super spells or heavy long-range units continuously bombarding it."
"What he said is right. I've talked to Lu Shuai and Gongjin about this, and super spells, heavy long-range units, or deployments are all very difficult. Just like our army's pinpoint strikes on the Trojan coast took several months of preparation, and Lu Shuai's preparation for the overpositioned artillery barrage was measured in years. So, these firepower points take a long time to set up and activate, almost becoming fixed positions."
"That's true," Zhang replied, nodding.
If they attack, they will face both uncontrollable behemoths and our ambushes. Their chances of winning are slim; they can only try to sink us from a distance. Theoretically, if our forces can find a route that avoids most of the heavy artillery points, leaving them without effective firepower, we might have a chance to draw the behemoth's hatred and lead it back to the North Ming Sea!
"The General, How Difficult It Is"
"I can only say, along the way, I've analyzed that the enemy's supply lines have their wide and narrow points, long and short stretches. This has told me a lot!"
