Chapter 2434: City of Flames!


"It's really...a scene like a doomsday catastrophe!"

Li Yao was hibernating in a mountain valley in the Lingfeng Mountains, looking at the Shura battlefield where blood flowed into rivers and corpses lay everywhere, and he was amazed.

Thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be the first time he had witnessed the most intense ground encirclement and suppression operations of the True Human Empire.

The battle on the surface of the planet within the atmosphere is different from the battle between the stars and the sea in the vacuum of the universe.

Even if the scale and intensity of the Star Sea War are hundreds of times greater, sound does not propagate in a vacuum, the distance between each other is too far, and most of the deaths occur on starships, and often a starship silently turns into a giant Fireball, and the fireball was instantly annihilated, and thousands of people died.

Death in a vacuum is greatly diluted by silence and distance, and human life has truly become a cold and empty number.

People with a little less imagination may not realize how cruel that is.

But the ground battlefield in front of us is different.

The air was hot, the earth was trembling, human groans and screams were accompanied by the roar of cannons and the collapse of fortresses, like waves filled with the smell of blood, washing away everyone's eardrums and hearts.

The whole process of life from being alive to being fragmented and then to decay and annihilation is clearly presented before our eyes.

The sensory stimulation that cannot be described in words is more than a hundred times that of vacuum combat in the universe.

It can really drive people crazy.

Lingfeng City is surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The peaks tower into the clouds, forming a "concave" shape.

The mountains are steep and there are no gentle slopes, making it extremely difficult to deploy troops.

There are a large number of air defense positions scattered across the mountain ranges, which store all the ammunition and fuel that the four Elector families still have in the imperial capital.

Every second, tens of thousands of fire snakes dance wildly in the sky, and the reformists launch low-altitude attacks.

The ship can't break in at all.

In terms of long-range firepower, the reformists set up nearly a thousand siege cannons in the slightly gentler areas of the Lingfeng Mountains, continuously projecting tons of heavy crystal shells towards Lingfeng City.

However, Lingfeng City has a very complete multiple defense system.

The entire city, including the periphery of the Lingfeng Tunnel, is covered with layers of translucent hexagonal psychic shields, emitting an octagonal golden light.

There are distortion interference force fields and induced detonation force fields outside the psychic shield, which twist the air into huge vortexes.

When the heavy crystal shells of the Reformists are fired, they will be detonated in advance while still in mid-air, and all the fragments will be bounced away or deflected by the distortion interference force field.

Even if a very small amount of shrapnel or shock waves still penetrate, they will be destroyed.

The psychic shield is offset.

In addition to the deafening roar and earth-shattering vibrations, it will not cause much damage to the city and the super teleportation array.

In the hinterland of the Lingfeng Mountains, there are also dozens of extremely secretive heavy artillery positions.

All key positions within a radius of 500 miles have been carefully calculated, and the shooting elements have been set to target the artillery of the reformists in minutes. position and launch a resolute counterattack.

The artillery positions of the reformists were all temporary structures.

Naturally, it was impossible to have such a strong multiple defense formation in Lingfeng City.

They suffered a lot from the heavy artillery bombardment.

After several artillery positions were destroyed in succession, They didn't dare to open fire on a large scale anymore, so they had to move hastily.

The rugged mountainous terrain is not conducive to the advancement of heavy crystal tanks.

Therefore, the reformists can only invest in the crystal armor battle group and advance inch by inch from the only frontal front using infantry assault.

The desperate coalition of nobles also deployed heavy troops on the continuous and interlocking three-dimensional deep defense line.

At a glance, they saw a sea of ​​iron armor and a forest of swords and halberds.

It was obviously a modern crystal armor battle, but it was defeated by both sides.

The momentum of classical cold weapon warfare.

However, no matter how strong the defenses of Lingfeng City and Lingfeng Tunnel are, they are still an isolated island in the vast ocean.

Everyone knows that this place cannot be defended for long.

Therefore, all the nobles are scrambling to escape, trampling each other to board the starship and jump out, even violating the operating regulations of the super teleportation array, which greatly shortens the distance between the two starships to jump, and often the first starship is torn apart.

Before the ripples that split the void dissipated, the second starship roared out.

This is a very dangerous and extremely unprofessional approach.

The existence of space ripples is like rocks on the waterway, which can cause fatal damage to ships.

In particular, the air defense fire nets and assault ships of both sides burned the sky into a sea of ​​fire.

Outside the higher atmosphere, many space-based strike weapons continued to bombard the ground, and the fine space ripples became even more...

It became a piece of terrifying "ice floating".

Li Yao and others happened to see such an accident when they looked far away at the highest peak of Lingfeng Mountain Range.

Less than a minute after the first starship tore through the void, the second starship rushed out desperately and was almost torn into spiral-shaped "noodles" by the ripples, but it managed to escape and disappeared without a trace.

No trace.

But the third starship that followed was not so lucky.

Its waiting time was too short.

Half a minute after the second starship rushed out, it soared into the sky and hit a hazy mass.

In the hazy, distorted void vortex is the "mass trap" left behind by the sudden disappearance of the second starship.

Water is flowing.

The sea water suddenly loses a huge mass of water, and a huge hole appears.

Sea water from all directions will rush in to fill the hole.

In this process, turbulent water will be stirred up, forming an extremely dangerous whirlpool.

Anyone who rashly sails near such a whirlpool will most likely be in trouble.

The same is true for space, which is fluid and continuous.

The two starships disappeared from this stable, flowing and continuous space in a very short period of time, temporarily interrupting the stability, flow and continuity of space.

The ripples in the four-dimensional space continue to "slide" toward the three-dimensional space to fill the lack of the three-dimensional space.

This process will also stir up large areas of "turbulence" and "whirlpools."

The third starship reached the limit of speed and plunged into such "turbulence" and "whirlpool".

It even wanted to open a new crack in such an unstable space to allow them to drill through intact. go out.

How is it possible?

In the eyes of onlookers such as Li Yao, the starship that had just emerged from the exit of the Lingfeng Tunnel was like a shining, crystal clear noodle that was getting longer and longer.

It was about to change from a "noodle" to a "cotton thread" , and then drilled through a shining embroidery needle hole in mid-air.

However, just when the "noodle" was stretched to the limit, it suddenly broke due to the entanglement of space ripples!

Each broken "noodle" lost its original "elasticity" and shrank back, turning into pieces of broken hull.

Many of the nobles on the wreckage were not dead yet, but were dancing in the buffer gel.

Part of the wreckage and passengers were sucked into the shining pinhole in mid-air.

No one wanted to imagine what they would encounter and what they would become.

Another part of the wreckage exploded directly in mid-air, and the flames swallowed up all the passengers.

Fortunately, before that, most of the passengers had been torn apart by the ripples in space and died.

The tragic destruction was slowly unfolding on the Shura battlefield and under the flaming sky.

But no one was willing to look at this destruction for a second.

The escape from the Lingfeng Tunnel was only interrupted by the accident for twenty minutes.

The fourth starship roared into the air again, rushing into the sky against the cannon fire and the space ripples that had not yet dissipated.

Got out.

"It's crazy."

Li Yao's scalp was numb and he murmured, "Taking into account factors such as cooling, buffering, maintenance and fuel injection, this super teleportation array can be launched once every five minutes at most.

Even if the limit is set, it can be launched once every two minutes, but In order to escape for their lives, these nobles are so crazy that they fire once a minute, or even half a minute?

" This is not an escape, but a suicide!

And this also shows from another aspect that the last stronghold of the four electors in the imperial capital is about to be undefendable.

The day when the city is broken is now, otherwise the nobles who cherish their lives most will never escape in such a hurry.

"Although the entire front line of the noble coalition is relatively stable and there are no major omissions, I guess something must have happened in the city.

They can't hold on for twenty-four hours."

Li Yao told Long Yangjun and others, "To be on the safe side, we will infiltrate into Lingfeng City within twelve hours, blend into a starship, and leave here.

"Xiaowen, Mingming, are you done?"

"nailed it!"

The two little guys who were working on the crystal armor clapped their hands at the same time and cheered.

Then they put their hands on their hips and nudged the cow, dissatisfied with each other: "I did it first!"

"No, it's me, it's me, it's me!"

What the two little guys had just invaded were several sets of Imperial Army-standard crystal armors stolen by Li Yao and Long Yangjun.

The breastplates were engraved with the latest battle emblem of the Reform Party, which was added below the traditional three-star lightning pattern.

A burning fire.

"Renovate the entire empire with iron blood and fire!"

This is the most determined battle cry of the soldiers of the reformist army, the self-proclaimed "legitimate imperial army".

Two masters, Li Yao and Long Yangjun, went out to steal a few sets of standard crystal armors from the reformist army.

It was naturally not difficult.

The army that besieged the Lingfeng Tunnel was complex and consisted of many people.

It was composed of deep-sea fleets, imperial guards, noble surrender troops, and even special operations teams composed of civilian murderers.

They came from a variety of sources and included everyone.

The army was hastily assembled and they were not familiar with each other.

They fought hard for more than half a month and many troops were dispersed, which gave Li Yao and others an opportunity.

The only problem is the battlefield identification friend or foe system that operates based on soldiers' personal information and dynamic passwords that change every day.

This problem was also solved after two little guys invaded the command center of a certain unit of the reformist siege army and cracked the personal information database and dynamic password generation system.

"Let's go to the city!"

Li Yao put on a set of Imperial Army's standard crystal armor and said to his companions behind him.
