Chapter 263 Upgrade and New Hope

The war had only been going on for three days, as the White Walker army was still fighting at full capacity.

Therefore, even before the giant White Walkers appeared on the battlefield, both the melee fighters outside the city and the spellcasters on the city walls were engaged in combat.

Despite the fact that several groups were rotating, everyone was still exhausted.

If it weren't for the occasional attacks by self-destructing mechanical wolves and scythe-wielding mechanical wolves, which gave everyone some time to rest, it would be difficult to hold the frontline fortress as easily as it is now.

Yes.

For those who have already experienced defending cities many times, the current situation is still relatively relaxed.

The truly difficult phase of defending the city has not yet arrived.

Therefore, although many people were mentally exhausted from the endless attacks of the White Walker army and the long battle, they still had ample time to rest because they could freely choose whether to participate in the battle.

However, this situation cannot last long. At the fastest, five days, at the slowest, ten days, giant White Walkers will appear in the army of White Walkers.

Because the giant White Walkers have not yet appeared, tactical missiles can still be used to carpet bomb the White Walker army.

Each time a tactical missile is launched, the personnel can have three to five hours of rest.

With the White Walker army blocked by the enemy on the northern battlefield of the fortress, the forward fortress could still rely on transport teams to receive ammunition supplies from the rear from time to time.

Therefore, despite the fact that many participants outside the north gate were using their abilities without restraint at this time, the number of White Walkers they actually killed was not as many as the number of White Walkers eliminated by missiles at the front fortress.

However, the number of White Walker armies that appeared each time seemed endless. Even with firearms, the human side managed to clear a huge vacuum zone among the White Walker armies.

But before long, the newly formed vacuum area was completely filled by the subsequent appearance of the Others.

Having already tested the effects of the zombie virus, Dong Qi was not in a hurry to release the dozens of infected aliens imprisoned in the Starfire Flying Boat.

After all, although the White Walker army has shown an endless number of numbers, it occupies a relatively small area, and most importantly, the human defenses are constantly using missiles for carpet bombing.

Therefore, Dong Qi temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​releasing infected White Walkers now, and instead waited until the giant White Walkers appeared, and neither the forward fortresses nor the human rear defenses used missiles for carpet bombing, before deciding whether to release the already zombified White Walkers.

After holding out for several more days, the White Walker army still failed to break through the northern defenses of the fortress and approach it.

However, because the two forward fortresses are far apart, some White Walkers also approach the human front lines from this area.

Of course, some White Walkers did not continue south to human territory, but instead moved east and west, trying to approach the forward fortress from the east and west.

At this point, Dong Qi and his group had completed their mission at the forward fortress. Attracted by the forward fortress, the number of White Walkers approaching the human defenses during this period accounted for only about 50% of the total White Walker army.

The remaining White Walkers were not only drawn to the forward fortress, but were also constantly killed by the soldiers guarding it.

Unlike other participants who would retreat to the fortress to rest whenever they were exhausted, Dong Qi had been fighting outside the fortress since the start of the battle, except for returning to the fortress to exchange for blueprints for mechanical creations.

The Starfire Flying Boat had already attracted the attention of many combat personnel on the north side of the forward fortress due to its enormous size.

After several shifts of combatants on the north side of the forward fortress, it became clear that no matter when they entered the battlefield, the Starfire Ships were always fighting against the White Walker army.

If the forward fortress is a stubborn rock in front of the human defense line, attracting and diverting the army of White Walkers, then the Starfire Ships are playing a similar role for the forward fortress.

Perhaps those who went out to engage in close combat, due to limited visibility, only vaguely saw the area where the Starfire Flying Boat was located.

However, there is not much understanding of the actual combat capabilities of the Starfire Ship. It is only vaguely speculated that the Starfire Ship should have super strong defensive capabilities, which is why it can stand alone like an island in the army of White Walkers.

Those combat personnel standing on the city walls at a distance also had a clearer view of the Starfire Flying Boat's combat system due to their superior field of vision.

Despite being surrounded by the White Walker army alone, Starfire Ship was always ready to fight whenever the White Walkers got close.

The laser cannon on top of the Starfire Flying Boat will then launch a 360-degree circling attack indiscriminately.

With this sweep of laser cannon fire, a large area of ​​the White Walkers surrounding the Starfire Ship will be split in two by the laser beams.

Of course, due to the firing angle, although the laser cannon has a wide range of attack, it can not actually kill too many White Walkers.

Most of the White Walkers hit by the laser cannons, thanks to their powerful regeneration, are only seriously injured and cannot be killed outright.

Fortunately, the Starfire Ship has hundreds of mechanical guards. Once released, they can easily finish off the heavily wounded White Walkers.

As for ammunition, it was not purchased as finished products, but rather Dong Qi purchased manufacturing data and used the materials in the Hundred Refinery to manufacture bullets himself.

The materials for manufacturing consumables like bullets are very cheap to exchange.

To reiterate, compared to the mature industrial system in the rear of humanity, the personnel at the forward fortress, even if they exchanged for the corresponding manufacturing materials, simply cannot mass-produce bullets.

Just like the Earth and Blue Star before and after Dong Qi's time travel, even though bullets can be made by hand, there are actually not many countries that have the ability to manufacture them on a mature assembly line.

The situation regarding various types of ammunition at the forward fortresses is not much different from that of the standard mechanical products purchased by Dong Qi. The issue is not the difficulty of manufacturing, but rather the lack of raw materials.

While obtaining a small amount of raw materials is quite simple and readily available in many places, it is virtually impossible to obtain that many raw materials if one wants to mass-produce them on an assembly line.

The materials transported from the rear to the front-line fortresses were either finished or semi-finished products. Although there were no restrictions on the transportation of raw materials, in reality, due to profit considerations, very few people would choose to transport large quantities of raw materials to the front-line fortresses unless there were special circumstances.

Although the scythe-wielding mechanical wolves are only responsible for reaping the lives of those White Walkers who have suffered heavy losses, there are no mercy on the battlefield, so the number of scythe-wielding mechanical wolves killed in the past few days has reached around a thousand.

Fortunately, the metal materials stored in the hundred-refinement furnace may be negligible compared to the armor upgrade, but they can still last a long time for repairing the scythe mechanical wolf.

Therefore, those on the city wall who were paying attention to the Starfire Flying Boat, after observing it for a period of time, although they vaguely discovered that the Starfire Flying Boat had the ability to repair the scythe mechanical wolf, did not actually pay too much attention to it.

What they care about most is the endurance of the Starfire Spaceship for continuous combat.

It should be noted that ever since they started paying attention to the Starfire Flying Boat, the Starfire Flying Boat's combat rhythm has remained unchanged.

Despite the laser cannon's extremely high frequency of attacks, it never encountered any problems and remained fully functional throughout.

In addition to the laser cannon, the Starfire Spaceship will also launch a highly penetrating attack every so often.

Because of the sheer number of the White Walker army, even Bao Dongqi himself, the ground combat personnel, were unaware of the true penetrating power of the electromagnetic cannons fired from the Starfire Flying Boat.

But those standing on the city wall could clearly see how far the electromagnetic cannon could travel after each firing, and the extent of its penetrating damage.

Compared to the laser cannon, whose lethality is unpredictable, the electromagnetic cannon will dismember any White Walker that appears within its range with each attack, leaving no intact corpse.

In reality, despite the huge commotion caused by each electromagnetic cannon attack, when a hundred scythe-wielding mechanical wolves go out to fight, they demonstrate an unforgettable killing efficiency.

In reality, the weapon that killed the most White Walkers was the unremarkable electromagnetic cannon.

In the past few days, Dong Qi's honorary military rank has been promoted to captain without anyone noticing.

This means that in just a few days, Dong Qi had killed tens of millions of Otherworlders.

Besides Dong Qi, there were many others in the forward fortress who killed White Walkers in numbers similar to or even surpassed Dong Qi's.

After all, the gap between the upper and lower limits of the transmigrators who can appear here is huge. Therefore, although Dong Qi's performance was somewhat impressive, his actual number of kills may only barely be among the top.

The reason Dong Qi was so humble at this moment was because he had never actually seen a top expert make a move.

Although Dong Qi didn't see the opponent when they made their move, a flame specifically designed to burn White Walkers appeared on the northern battlefield during that attack.

Once any White Walker comes into contact with this flame, their body will immediately be ignited. There is no need for direct contact; simply getting within a certain range will cause signs of infection.

The flames that specifically burned the White Walkers spread like burning willow catkins, infecting a large area in less than two hours.

Furthermore, during this process, not only were the mechanical creations released by Dong Qi not damaged, but the eyes of the melee fighters outside the city were also not harmed, and even the recently appeared 'weeds' on the ground were not ignited.

In addition, whether they were living White Walkers or White Walker corpses that had been killed and torn apart by the various combatants, they were all reduced to ashes by the scorching flames.

In a short period of time, the entire battlefield was transformed into a lush green lawn.

If you didn't know that this place was just a bloody battlefield, anyone seeing this area for the first time would definitely think it's a recreational lawn in a park.

Some veterans who had participated in several wars were not surprised when they saw this situation. Instead, they relaxed and sat down on the ground.

He then explained to the astonished newcomers around him, "This was the work of a top expert. Don't overthink it. Quickly sit down and rest to recover your strength. We'll have about two or three hours to rest this time."

When Dong Qi first saw this situation, he was also at a loss. Since all the Otherworlders around him had disappeared, Dong Qi could easily see the actions of the other participants.

Seeing that not only many solo players, but even members of the battle groups, were relaxed and taking the opportunity to recover their strength.

Therefore, Dong Qi was able to roughly confirm that this situation was likely the work of a powerful figure.

Unfortunately, in the past few days, Dong Qi has only encountered three similar situations where a powerful figure has taken action.

Every time a strong person makes a move, it buys everyone an hour or two of 'rest' time.

Of course, although Dong Qi is not as good as those top experts who rarely take action, his actions of remaining unmoved in the army of Otherworlders in the past few days, thanks to the Starfire Flying Boat, have actually attracted the attention of many veterans.

The reason why those people are paying attention to the Starfire Flying Boat is not complicated. Those who have experienced many wars know that although the current battle is relatively easy.

However, this strategy of keeping enemies at bay cannot last long. Once a giant White Walker appears, ordinary White Walkers will flood the battlefield like an geyser.

It will be virtually impossible for them to go out and fight freely at that time. They will retreat back into the city and rely on the city's buildings to engage in street battles with the White Walkers in the outer city area.

Don't be fooled by the fact that countless White Walkers will enter the fortress after the outer city walls fall.

However, allowing the White Walkers to enter the fortress was actually a way of diverting them away.

Of course, this is only the most superficial reason. The deeper reason is that after all the combat personnel retreated to the fortress to defend, the forward fortress could no longer attract the attention of the White Walker army, divert its flow, block it, or delay its advance.

Compared to the current situation where the front-line fortresses can receive supplies from the rear human defense lines from time to time, at that time, these people will really have to eke out a living in the front-line fortresses.
