Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 594: 594

The Smells of a Snitch

It was a product of the Lanshan Dragon Alchemy Research Center. It was the launching site of the catapult type super-heavy kinetic energy cannon.

“Loaded!”

” Enchantment completed!”

“The strength of the arm has been restored!”

With the help of the capstan, the puppet, and the operator, the bullets weighing in tons were pushed into the projectile section.

The mechanical lock was closed and secured.

The alchemist activated the pre-installed enchantment array in the pellet. The triple iron hoop of the pellet lit up one after another, and the elemental power stored in it began to become active, brewing the power to destroy everything.

The Natural Spell Caster worked together with the Alchemist to stimulate and repair the internal structure of the rod arm that was damaged due to the huge transformation and energy transmission from the last launch.

Then, he gave the launch supervisor a confirmation signal.

“Revise confirmed!”

“Calculation complete!”

“Target adjusted!”

“Attack the sightseeing platform in the middle of the island!”

The director of the catapult firing position pressed the trigger and poured magic power into it.

“Fire!”

Mana was transmitted through the active wood core in the trigger rod, and then the fire element trigger was activated. The flames ignited, and the surging fire element spread along the complicated magic net. After a series of violent elemental reactions, it finally activated the most passive earth element, and then activated the balance weight!

This semi-magicized kinetic weapon was essentially equipped with the idea of a heavy catapult. It used mechanics and geometry to launch heavy enchanted bullets, accurately hitting the target without guidance. It would not be hindered by interception spells or mental power weapons. It was extremely reliable.

The effects of magic and alchemy on this terrifying war weapon lay in the strengthening of the arm structure and the strength of the materials.

It was also equipped with the most important counterweights of the heavy trebuchets.

The principle of equipping a heavy trebuchet was to use manpower or material resources to raise a heavy counterbalance hammer and then let it fall freely. The potential energy of the falling heavy object was converted into kinetic energy, and the cannonball on the other side of the lever was thrown out rapidly. Magic and alchemy gave a more advanced idea!

The elemental trigger activated a huge amount of earth elements in the counterbalance hammer. The ancient earth patterns on the surface of the heavy hammer shone brightly. The heavy totem pole regained its powerful elemental attributes. The gravity increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the upper limit of the capstan rope. Then, with a snap, the rope broke, and the earth totem fell violently with the force of a landslide, throwing the huge projectile from the throwing table!

The heavy wind whistled, and the triple ring began to spin. The cannonball with the momentum of thunder soared into the sky. All the data had been calculated, and the trajectory had been carefully calculated. Its target was the observation platform of the central island. Now, that beautiful place was occupied by evil invaders!

Destroy them!

The soldiers at the firing site looked up at the ball of destruction that soared into the sky. Everyone’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

They all knew how powerful the catapults were. The one-ton shells were embedded with a large number of magic crystals and pre-set spells. Once they reached the attack position, they could explode with the most terrifying explosion, impact, and elemental damage, with a killing radius of hundreds of meters.

As long as the shell landed, at least half of the enemy soldiers on the observation platform would be dead.

However, after the cannonball flew out for several kilometers, the sky was lit up with flames. Two streaks of air currents shot out from the front like two sharp arrows hitting the cannonball, shattering it into pieces.

The Avenger-style reflection system in the cannonball took effect, and the shattered shrapnel launched a blanket counterattack in the direction of the interception under the push of the magic circle. However, in the next moment, like a meteor shower, countless rays of light whistled past, and the fragments of the giant stone cannonball were also shattered by a few rivers of flames that swept in turn.

They simultaneously let out a cry of pity.

“reload!”

The launching supervisor of the trebuchets ordered without hesitation.

The people in charge of the heavy magic devices were the Island Master’s absolute confidants. If their loyalty could not be guaranteed, the Island Master would not be the Island Master. The person in charge was equally loyal. Even though he knew that the catapults posed no threat to Kant, he still decided to fight the detestable Skyquaters to the end.

That was because the Island Master had ordered him to fight Kant.

“We still have a lot of ammunition! We still have a lot of courage! Although the enemy’s alchemical weapons are powerful, they will be used less and less. Our reserves are definitely more than theirs! Now was the time to show the invader their strength and courage. Continue loading! Prepare to launch!”

The launch site was completely sealed off, and the soldiers serving here had no idea what was going on outside. The observation team and Hawkeye officers, who could use atmospheric penetrating spells, were already in a state of half-house arrest and half-surveillance. In the entire launch site, except for a small number of spellcasters, no one knew what was going on.

Most people did not know that the sea monsters had invaded the island on a large scale, that the island masters were missing, that Kant had swept through the entire island with his swift and fierce alchemical weapons, and that he had killed two garrison legions in less than ten minutes. They also did not know that the people of Skyquaking actually had terrifying weapons that could attack the entire island.

They did not need to know.

The person-in-charge’s face was gloomy. He kept issuing orders to confirm the outer defenses and the smooth flow of supplies. He knew that the current situation was very dangerous, and he also knew that Kant’s power was unmatched. However, the catapults had to cause enough trouble for Kant and distract him so that the master of the castle in the Sea-suppressing Castle would have more room to do something, whether it was fighting or retreating.

He chose to be loyal here, do his own thing, and complete his mission.

But now, a disturbing doubt troubled him.

Why didn’t Kant just raze this place to the ground?

He used his atmospheric vision to see the rocket launchers launched from the Astolford sweeping through a group of underground fortresses like hailstones, burning the miserable defenders to only bones.

Due to its combat mechanism, the catapult magic device could not hide most of its structure under the fortress like the Flame Son Light Spear and the Raging Tide. Its firing position was open.

This meant that Kant could use the same method to turn the place into a sea of fire.

The person-in-charge had a flash of inspiration.

So that was the case.

He smiled coldly.” You want to capture us and capture the catapults? What a joke.

Kant, I know how powerful you are. I know that your alchemical weapons are powerful and that wherever they go, the ground will be scorched. However, destroying and occupying are two different things. Of course, you can easily destroy us and the catapults, but you can forget about getting it in one piece because you will have to face a group of the toughest and most unyielding guardians!

We will destroy the catapults before you succeed!

The launching supervisor looked around. The trebuchets were open-air, which was a weakness. Therefore, he considered making up for this weakness in the construction and layout.

Among the three magic devices on the island, the catapults had the strongest security. The surrounding terrain, fortifications, and personnel had all been carefully modified, built, and trained. No matter where Kant’s minions came from, they would be discovered immediately.

What awaited them was a storm of attacks and the most tenacious resistance!

They might not be able to stop Kant, but they could at least buy some time to destroy the catapults!

Even if a dragon attacked from the air, the Interceptor Formation and Defensive Mages would instantly detect it and launch a powerful anti-air spell. There was absolutely no problem!

With this in mind, he continued to encourage,”We will eventually win!” There’s nothing to be afraid of…”

In the next moment, he heard the howling of the wind in the sky.

Then, the alarm rang!

The mages of the observation team shouted at the top of their lungs,”Space-”

The person-in-charge subconsciously raised his head, only to see that in the sky, the Realm Gate had silently opened.

Huge black shadows fell rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, a large foot with a cold glint landed on his face.

His fragile body did not last for even a second before he was smashed into a puddle by the power armor that fell from the sky. His face was deformed first, and then his chest was stepped on. Then, his spine exploded like firecrackers. Amidst the crackling sounds, his back was stuck to his calf, and his entire body was folded in half.

Blood splattered from his broken skin. He was like a southern cockroach that had been trampled to death, red juice bursting in all directions.

The Doomsday Warrior who had stomped him to death lifted his.50 heavy machine gun. Flames spewed out as the explosive bullets fired rapidly. The soldiers who drew their swords and rushed over seemed to have been swept by a huge invisible sickle. Their bodies were broken and their limbs exploded. In the surroundings, with a heavy whistling sound, soldiers in power armor fell from the Realm Gate one after another, and then a terrible massacre began!

Screams continued to ring out. Gunshots and the sound of bodies being torn apart were mixed together. The soldiers in power armors were teleported to their faces. Even the modern military powers on Earth had not enjoyed such a blessing, let alone these otherworldly people. The continuous death and continuous loud noises easily destroyed their rationality!

“Ulysses, use close combat! There are three enemies fifty meters to your left. Heavy firearms will destroy the magic device and kill them!”

Lord Horus ‘voice rang in his ears, making Valentan’s messenger feel extremely at ease.

From the corner of his eye, he could see a small light screen in the lower left corner of the visor. It was a map that showed his position, direction, allies, and even enemies around him. The messenger quickly locked on to the enemy. He threw down the light machine gun in his hand and pulled out the chainsaw sword on his back. He took two steps forward and bypassed the test platform of the trebuchets. Strange energy surged out from the Paragon Core on his back, strengthening his arms.

“Well done!”

” But Ulysses,” Horus praised,” your calmness and intelligence have impressed me more than your fighting will and skills. Father and I both think you can play a bigger role than just a warrior. Now, do you see the tactical map?” The five people at ten o’clock, you will try to replace me and command them in battle.”

On the other side of the battlefield, another Warrior of Destruction was also receiving real-time guidance from Lord Horus.” The power armor has given you the physique of a warrior, but you are still a mage. The upcoming upgrades and improvements of the power armor will emphasize this point. The spellcasters will be given exclusive power armor that is more suitable for them to fight. But now, I need your cooperation and testing-stretch out your hands.”

The Basic Mage who had put down his weapon extended his hands without hesitation. Several enemies had already rushed up to him. Horus said calmly,” Your power armor has a built-in core of fire birch wood. It is often used to make fire wands. Now, use the conical flame!”

Magic surged and a model was constructed. However, this familiar casting was different from the past because the powerful energy in the Paragon Core instantly increased the effect of the spell. Two fire dragons roared and shot out. As the Warrior of Destruction opened his hands, they surged to both sides, and the scorching heat instantly swallowed the enemy!

“Burning Hand!”

The spellcaster clenched his right fist, and flames surged to restrain it. Then, he suddenly swung it, and a huge flaming fist rushed out, smashing into an ice mage who was casting a spell with a staff.

The opponent’s spell hadn’t even formed yet!

A huge surprise filled the beginner mage’s heart.

This thing was indeed much more useful than a magic staff!

” Well done, spellcasters. Now, cast aside the old rules and begin to adapt to the new way of fighting. The power armor that Father has given you will redefine mages.”

Under Horus ‘guidance and command, the dozens of Warriors of Destruction fought as one. They were orderly and had a clear division of labor. They suppressed the enemy with long-range firepower, attacked the enemy at close range, and were supported by mages. They fought like a team, expelling and destroying the guardians of the catapults from the inside out.

Kant used the power of the Fire Stealer to cut off the control circuit of the self-destruct device. Then, he stood aside and watched the first battle of his first legion. It looked good.

Father, the conventional weapons on Earth are no longer suitable for them.”

” The power armor’s ability to withstand recoil far surpasses that of humans,” Horus said.” It’s even better than some light vehicles. They can wield more powerful weapons in battle, and they do need them.”

“The weapons on Earth are designed to fight against humans. Due to military expenses, they are more inclined to choose between cost-effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, but we are different…Our enemies are not just humans. Not in the past, not now, and definitely not in the future.”

Kant nodded silently.” That requires a production line.”

In terms of individual firearms, were there any firearms on Earth that were far more powerful and accurate than military firearms? There were, and there were many of them, but there was not much production and demand. On Earth, there were terrifying shotguns that fired exaggerated.750-Nitro Express bullets, but they were hand-made. They were toys for tycoons, and their power was indeed great. However, if any general proposed to equip them in the army, they would probably be sent to a mental hospital on the spot.

“The next stage is to consider the overall industrial layout on Earth.”

“Yes.”

Kant looked at the battlefield that was gradually coming to an end.” But now, we have to bring them back to the Far Harbor.”

“How’s the reconnaissance going?”he asked after some thought.

Horus replied,” There are a total of three areas on the central island that are flat and wide enough. However, two of them are in low-lying areas near the sea and have already been occupied by sea monsters. The last one is on the mountain, in the back garden of the Sea-suppressing Castle. The rich island owner has built a huge racecourse on the plateau that belongs to him alone. It’s vast and flat. It should be able to meet our needs, father.”

Kant nodded and cast his gaze at the summit, the most conspicuous part of the island.

It was a continuous, vast castle.

“In other words…” He exhaled.” We have to go there no matter what?”

“No matter what?”

” Father,” Horus sharply noticed the word.” It sounds like you asked me to find a wide and flat area. This is just a backup plan.”

“Of course it’s a backup plan…When the situation is bad, at least we can bring everyone back alive.” Kant said coldly,” But before that, if the situation permits, we have to go to that damned castle and find the Island Master inside. We have to ask him if he knows anything about the current situation.”

A sea monster that appeared out of thin air, ferocious, fearless, and in large numbers.

The Island Master who had ordered the attack on Kant at the critical moment.

The former made him, a fire thief who had experienced many big battles, sense a familiar aura.

The latter’s extremely abnormal behavior made him smell the scent of a traitor.

” The last magic device of the fortress has been occupied. Father, the Raging Tide and the Flame Son Light Spear are also under our control. Now, we can organize an attack and exploration of the Sea-suppressing Castle.”

” Alright.” Kant nodded.” Let’s see what’s inside.”
