The walls of the fortress city are a long line of defense. The city entrance in the middle section is particularly thick and can be regarded as the front-line command center in wartime.
At this time, the leaders of many forces in the city gathered here. The combat staff of the garrison regiment seemed dissatisfied with the greetings between Odysseus and Tennyson, but neither of them seemed to care too much about that man.
"Ha, Odysseus, your friend is quite arrogant?" Seeing that Mu Hua refused Odysseus's introduction, Tennyson smiled and said that since Odysseus emphasized that Mu Hua was a friend, Tennyson also put away his hostility towards Mu Hua.
"He doesn't expect you to make a living. This is not your Galaposo." Odysseus smiled, not caring about Mu Hua's actions at all.
Tamara flew to Mu Hua's shoulder. When Tennyson saw Tamara's closeness to Mu Hua, he finally showed some respect for Mu Hua in his eyes and nodded at Mu Hua from a distance.
At this time, Nick and others also joined in the greetings between Odysseus and Tennyson. Unlike Odysseus, the communication between others and Tennyson was more formal and they showed more respect.
Although most of the kingdoms in the courtyard will pay tribute to the human world country where the courtyard entrance is located, it is more like a kind of cooperation and care. The courtyard kingdom exports materials to the human world, and the human world country will also guide its citizens to settle in the courtyard kingdom to a certain extent.
Since Tennyson has established a country, his diplomatic status is no different from that of leaders such as the emperor and president of the human world.
Those who represent the official power of the government must still give him the same respect as when facing the national leader.
What's more, among the people brought by Tennyson, there are at least more than a thousand combat professionals with independent flying capabilities.
Each of these people can be said to be a walking tactical missile launcher. They are super energy-efficient, super mobile, and can hand-load ammunition anytime and anywhere.
"Haha, Mu, you are so smart. Although I don't know other rumors about the big rat, he is really stingy." Not to mention the greetings from Odysseus, seeing that Mu Hua did not get close to Tennyson, a middle-aged man next to Mu Hua laughed.
The person who was speaking was named El, and he looked middle-aged, but because of his physical condition, it was difficult to judge his actual age from his appearance.
This person is Odysseus's 'eyes' and the leader of the filming group in the team. He has very special abilities and training directions, and is a technical talent. Perhaps because he does not need to see Mu Hua's face, he is much more casual with Mu Hua than Ajer.
Tennyson is stingy? Well, Mu Hua can understand this. He is a famous hoarder. It seems that people need to worry more when he becomes generous.
"What are these people gathering here for? The battle line drawn by the demons will probably not be short. Should we hand over the battle command to the Star Patrol Fleet?"
Without paying too much attention to Tennyson's problem, His Majesty the King had no essential connection with him. Mu Hua looked at the satellite images on his personal terminal with some worry.
Dozens of kilometers away from the fortress city, countless hyoid demons are approaching the city, and the bone armor on the hyoid demons' heads are bringing out a strange-colored tide.
Tens of thousands? Not ten or twenty thousand, but tens of thousands.
Judging from the scenes in the satellite images, the number of these demons with alien-like appearances is no less than 100,000, and among them there are also a large number of low-level monsters.
These are just the first batch of monsters that are closest to the fortress city. Mu Hua would not be surprised at all if they could form a battle line covering the city walls.
Facing a war of this scale for the first time, Mu Hua was still a little nervous. He was not sure how the humans would command and dispatch the troops. He was also a little worried about the safety of Taibetha and the others.
Those hyoid demons are not goblins. They are agile and nimble, moving like ghosts. Their sharp claws and conical tails are as hard as swords and spears. They have very strong attack capabilities. They are even more difficult to deal with when they gather together. We can't just act independently and attack them randomly, right?
"No, generally the patrol fleet will only command their headquarters personnel, and the garrison regiment will be responsible for the city's defense."
"The adventurers this time will probably be commanded and dispatched by that big rat. After all, he is also the leader of the brigade."
"Three brigades have come this time. Since he is here, he must have gained some benefits from the Empire. I think he will have to contribute more." El explained.
"There are three more brigades?" Mu Hua looked around.
"Well, the other two are already preparing for battle on the east and west sides." The fortress city's defense is as long as twenty kilometers, and it is obviously impossible for the demonic tide to come only towards the area where Mu Hua and the others are.
However, even if El explained, Mu Hua still didn't quite understand how they should command and arrange things. At this moment, a wave of energy radiated past, and Mu Hua looked into the distance in surprise.
"Here it comes, electromagnetic pulse, it's time for me to work." As he spoke, El trotted towards where Odysseus was.
Standing on the city wall more than 20 meters high, Mu Hua saw some engineering vehicles digging trenches and shelters outside the city suddenly stalled, and some drivers quickly fled the vehicles. Those bulky engineering vehicles seemed to have become messy shelters outside the city.
The satellite image on the terminal disappeared. Mu Hua looked up and saw that the fleet that was originally stationary above the city had already ignited and started. The azure energy halo formed a particle-like diffusion around the airships.
Mu Hua knew clearly that all the equipment containing electronic components had malfunctioned. If nothing unexpected happened, the reconnaissance satellites launched by humans in this courtyard would probably have been completely destroyed.
Although the technology of this world is mainly based on magic, the cheapness of electronic products still prevents humans from completely giving up on them. However, when it comes to war, whether between humans or demons, cheap electronic products are easy to destroy. As for reconnaissance satellites? There is no need for long-range magic sniping. There are many winged demons among the demons.
The sky plays a piece of music.
Hell is just around the corner!
The war song has no words.
The lyrics of the human race that incited the warriors to die and sang praises of death with various emotions were once laughed at by demons and even orcs.
That was the bullying of the powerful and the stupidity of the weak, and humans once became the laughing stock of monsters.
Hell is within reach, a war song of mankind that has been passed down from ancient times. It does not have any lyrics, but the passionate music stirs people's hearts. It sings the praises of every warrior who fights for himself.
The sound of Hell at Hand represents the coming of the war between humans and demons.
At this time, El ran to Odysseus with an expensive magic crystal in each hand. El looked up and closed his eyes. As the magic power spread around his body, a huge projection screen unfolded in the air.
Magic Eye - Bird's-Eye View.
El's magic eye became a substitute for the reconnaissance satellite. The picture looking down from the sky seemed to be searching, zooming out, and enlarging. After a moment, it found a castle rising from the ground in the vast land.
It was like a living demon castle, or a growing magic tower, and it seemed to be still rising to a height of dozens of meters. On a platform at the top of the castle, Arachne, with a smile on his face, raised his head, as if looking at the people observing the scene.
This Arachne was much smaller than expected, with an upper body of about 1.5 meters, and his limbs were not fully erected, so his overall height was less than five meters.
The spider's lower body has eight slender and powerful limbs with sharp claws at the ends. The lower body is gray-black in color with blue stripes on the surface, which looks very strange.
The skin on the upper body is pale, and seems to be woven from countless tiny silk threads, with a slight spider web texture.
In addition to the two big eyes on the human-like face, there are two pairs of compound eyes on the forehead. Arachne's upper body is just human-like, and it is not as beautiful as imagined.
When her face showed a human expression, the bird's-eye view projection screen quickly turned away, but El, who was casting the magic eye, did not dare to look her in the eye. At the same time, he was also afraid that Arachne's sight in the picture would affect the viewers.
Demons, especially some higher-level demons, have an influence on living things that does not only come from their strength and spellcasting. They themselves are a kind of strange existence, and their existence itself can drive unprepared people crazy.
At this moment, the chapter of "Hell at Hand" resounded throughout the city, and amid the beating of the notes, people seemed to hear a female voice whispering.
"The Lord has agreed to your negotiation. Come, come before us."
"Of course, please accept the gift bestowed upon mankind first."
The devil's whispers were not human language and were vague, but people could understand their meaning.
The demons have set up a magic fortress in the distance, where they are waiting for a meeting with humans. But the premise is that humans need to extinguish the incoming demon tide and reach them first.
The demons in this courtyard also look very vicious. This war is not simply capricious, because at this time not only is the fortress city filled with extreme emotions, but the attacking demons are probably also exuding crazy emotional energy.
Different from the focus of others, Mu Hua vaguely discovered that the magician position built by Arachne just now, which was like a castle in the castle, was more like an altar for collecting emotional energy.
The demons here are not simply demonstrating to humans. I'm afraid their purpose from beginning to end is to collect emotional energy.
This is a feast for them, regardless of the life or death of humans, even if a large number of monsters die, even if the monsters are defeated, it is still a feast for them.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…”
The airship flew by at low altitude, and the sounds of countless heavy objects falling to the ground gathered together. The torrent of falling steel made the ground of the fortress city tremble.
Mechas and the armored warriors that surround them.
Reinforced armor for land combat.
Countless mecha warriors were dropped by small airships, and they took the lead in building the initial defense line of the human side outside the city. (End of this chapter)
