More than 60 mechs are marching along the route from Behemoth to Leopold.
Of these, only one mech was flying in the air, and that was the latest mech piloted by Abigail.
In fact, besides the mech piloted by Abigail, there were at least 10 other mechs that were also the latest models. However, even though the pilots were elites from the military, they still couldn't make the mechs fly smoothly. This was something they had never faced before.
These mechs were originally intended to be distributed to several mech regiments in this region across the entire empire, but now that things have come to this point, it's impossible to leave them unused.
In this somber atmosphere, everyone wore a tense expression, except for the one flying in the sky.
At this moment, everyone inside the mech knew that they were facing a situation where they had a slim chance of survival. Even the warriors who had participated in the attack on the giant armored beast had no illusions.
As they moved quickly forward, the people finally got a clear look at Behemoth, the desert behemoth known as one of the strongest creatures.
Previously, they only knew what Behemoth looked like from recorded videos or books, but today, if it weren't for Behemoth's impending attack on Leopold, this would be an exciting moment, but at this moment, no one is excited about it.
"Everyone, have you arrived at the designated location?"
Lionel stayed in a makeshift command post. This time, not many infantrymen followed him, and those who did come had only one main purpose—to control the magic cannon.
In the upcoming battle against Bessiere, the mechs will undoubtedly be the main force in the fight, but even with so many strategic moves, no one thinks they can win against such a massive monster.
They all pinned their hopes on the magic cannon that Abigail had modified to kill the giant armored beast.
However, there is a prerequisite for using the magic cannon.
Before this, Lionel had already consulted Abigail. The principle behind the Starburst Cannon is to gather the unused magic power scattered across the battlefield into a cluster cannon. In other words, the more magic power gathered on the battlefield, the higher the damage of the cluster cannon's final shot.
"Commander, Commander, the troops have all arrived at the designated location."
"Really? Now we just need to wait."
The commander spoke calmly, yet he knew all too well that this battle would be brutal. He didn't know how many would perish in it. His task was to minimize those losses.
boom......
At that moment, a mech landed not far from the commander.
Abigail emerged from the mech and came to Lionel's side.
“Lionel, that giant lizard will be here in about 10 minutes.”
Lionel turned to look at Abigail; perhaps, Abigail was the only one in this area who could still keep smiling.
“Abigail, you don’t need to participate in this battle. Even if all the rest of us die, you cannot die.”
Lionel spoke with great seriousness. In his mind, Abigail's importance was perhaps second only to Emperor Ivan the Great. After all, being able to create such a powerful magic cannon was a weapon of strategic significance.
Therefore, Abigail must not be allowed to die in such a place.
Of course, Lionel's words were essentially meaningless. At least Abigail didn't think she would die in such a place. For such a third-rate character to be able to injure Abigail was already a feat in itself.
To give a more direct assessment, the legendary creature's strength is equivalent to a top-tier Dragon-level monster.
Before her transformation, Abigail would have found it much easier to deal with such a monster than she had imagined, but now, it's a piece of cake.
However, Lionel's words did earn Abigail some goodwill towards him. After all, Abigail was relatively forgiving of those who were kind to her. Giving them a little something now and then wasn't out of the question.
Of course, this situation would only work if it didn't conflict with what Abigail wanted to do. Right now, although Abigail could easily kill Bessiere, she was more curious about whether the operation would succeed. Since it had piqued her interest, she naturally wouldn't let it end so easily.
"Don't worry, Lionel, even if you all die, I won't. Besides, I might even be able to save your lives."
Lionel simply smiled at this.
"If you really have this kind of intention, why don't you build a few more Starburst Cannons?"
"Although I can build it now, is it useful? Don't forget the prerequisites for its use. This thing is a game that can decide the outcome with a single shot."
"That's true!"
Lionel sighed, but he could understand; after all, such a powerful weapon required a price to use. Currently, merely drawing upon the scattered magic power of the entire battlefield was already a small price to pay.
"Abigail, there's nothing more for you to do from now on. Just stay away from the battlefield as much as possible."
Lionel looked into the distance, and Bessiere, who had already arrived, spoke to Abigail.
"Alright, you invited me to watch the show, so don't blame me if we lose."
"Don't worry, we will definitely win!"
Lionel confidently stated that his actions perfectly illustrated the words of a certain great man: to despise the enemy strategically, but to take the enemy seriously tactically.
And so, Abigail piloted her mech to a high point. From there, she could clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Behemoth has already begun contacting people in the top tier.
The first echelon consists of the most elite members of the team; they will be tasked with holding off Behemoth. Behind them, the second echelon comprises less skilled, mostly untrained mech pilots. Their mission is simpler: to use the magic cannons mounted on their mechs to relentlessly attack Behemoth.
War was imminent, and with the first shot fired from a magic cannon, the drama of humanity challenging a legendary creature officially began.
Countless magical beams of magic cannon fire struck Behemoth, but they did not cause much damage. After all, as a legendary creature, even if its defense was not as strong as that of the giant armored beast, which was known for its strongest defense, its own defense could not be too weak.
Struck by the magic cannon, Bessiere roared in agony.
He reacted to this, his massive forelimbs sweeping forward at great speed, sending two of the mechs below flying.
The mech that flew off landed on the ground, and you could see that the part that was hit was deformed. It's unclear whether it can be used again.
However, these two mechs were quickly taken away from the battlefield by the mechs behind them, having lost their combat capability, while the mechs in front became even more cautious.
The second Behemoth sweep was not as successful as the first. Only one mech was accidentally torn to pieces by its claw, while the other mechs dodged the attack.
However, Bessemor's attack can only be considered a prelude.
Just as Bessemor was becoming increasingly agitated by the siege, it suddenly roared loudly, then stood upright, and at the same time, its forelimbs began to glow.
"Run!"
At this moment, although it was unknown what kind of attack Bessemor would launch next, there was no doubt that even a simple impact on the ground could trigger a series of chain reactions. Therefore, Lionel quickly ordered the first team to retreat.
Upon receiving the order, the first wave of warriors immediately turned and moved away from Behemoth without hesitation. Sure enough, Behemoth fell down again, its forepaws carrying a huge amount of energy that clung to the ground. Immediately afterward, a shockwave formed by magic swept across a large area around it.
The mechs were not damaged by the shockwave, but they were all knocked over and thrown about. Just then, a high-energy reaction came from the corner of Behemoth.
"That is......"
At this moment, Lionel was keeping a close eye on Bessiere's situation. As soon as he saw his horn light up brightly, he immediately guessed what would happen next.
"First team, deploy the combined shield immediately!"
Shortly after Lionel issued the order, a massive beam of magic shot out from the tip of Behemoth.
The beam struck the combined shield formed by 20 mechs. These mechs were clearly operating beyond their limits to withstand the attack. However, the sound of the shield shattering still reached the soldiers' ears.
Lionel naturally noticed this situation and was rapidly considering how to respond.
Behemoth's magic seemed inexhaustible; it had been shooting for over 10 seconds, yet it showed no signs of weakening.
Lionel knew very well that the combined shield of the first echelon could only last for another 10 seconds at most before it could not hold out any longer, so he had to come up with a solution within those 10 seconds.
"Second wave, concentrate fire on Behemoth's scream and interrupt its attack!"
As Lionel issued the order, the second echelon, protected by the first echelon, immediately aimed all their cannons at Bessiere's head. Then, a large number of beams of light instantly bombarded Bessiere's head. Due to the impact of the beams, Bessiere's head tilted to the side, and the beams instantly swept across the surrounding ground, leaving a melted crater in the ground.
Meanwhile, the first team quickly removed their shields and retreated.
The second echelon was also ready long ago. The replacements, while not as elite as the first echelon, were still capable of holding off the enemy for a while.
Meanwhile, the first group of people quickly returned to the rear to replace the magic batteries.
Meanwhile, at an artillery camp near Lionel, the reconnaissance battalion was measuring the concentration of magic in the air. Originally, this measurement was intended to track the technology used by the enemy, but today it was being used on the battlefield.
"Commander, according to the measurements, the magic concentration has reached the standard. Should we use the Starburst Cannon?"
"Get ready. Also, have someone inform Lionel."
"Yes!"
Watching the departing soldiers, the commander looked once more at the magic cannon beside him.
"To be honest, I still don't want to believe that such a small magic cannon can effectively kill a legendary creature. But since Lionel says it can, I'll trust you this once. Whether we can save Leopold this time depends entirely on you. Don't let us down. Activate it!"
As soon as the commander gave the order, the soldier in charge of operating the magic cannon started it up.
As the magic cannon was activated, a massive amount of magical energy emanated from the battlefield, transforming into specks of light that converged towards the front of the cannon. The sheer amount of magic energy emanating from it astonished everyone present. Although they were artillerymen, they had never seen a cannon brimming with such a vast amount of magical energy.
For a magic cannon, it's not simply a matter of the larger the cannon body or the more energy it uses to produce a stronger magic beam; there are many different aspects to consider.
"It's finally about to begin."
On a distant cliff, Abigail looked at the pink light and said with some excitement.
Similarly, upon seeing this light, everyone present couldn't help but feel excited. They were about to witness a historic moment; the invincible Besemore would fall at their hands—what an exciting time!
Bessiere seemed to have noticed the change as well. He roared uneasily and stopped paying attention to the seemingly toy-like mechs at his feet. He turned his head toward the artillery camp, where a huge magic sphere with a diameter of more than 5 meters was gathering.
Immediately, Besseur's entire body shone with light, especially her back and horn, the light of which was even comparable to that of the magic orb in the distance.
Almost simultaneously, the Starburst Cannons of the artillery camp and Behemoth's Unicorn fired their Magic Cluster Cannons.
Two beams of light, one blue and one pink, collided directly, and a huge magical shockwave exploded from the point of impact.
The shockwave swept across the surrounding area in an instant, enveloping the entire battlefield in a layer of pink and blue light.
When the light faded, everyone on the battlefield craned their necks to look at where Besemore had been, but the area was shrouded in smoke, obscuring the view.
However, in the next instant, a chilling despair washed over everyone—Behimore's roar came from the smoke.
Chapter 201 A Hymn to Humanity
Bessemble's roar struck straight to people's hearts, bringing despair into everyone's soul.
When the smoke that had enveloped the battlefield dissipated, people finally saw the true form that had roared. At this time, Beckymore's condition was not as good as expected. His whole body was covered in wounds, and some of the wounds were bleeding profusely, blue blood.
Smoke was billowing from his body, clearly indicating that he had lost to Persephone just now. However, despite the loss, he still managed to withstand the knock-off version of Starburst.
If Bessiemor could have been attacked again, he might have been defeated. But such an opportunity only comes once. To fail to defeat Bessiemor means to have failed.
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield watched in despair as Bessemor roared to the sky.
And right after it finished roaring, a large number of bright spots suddenly appeared around it.
In the next instant, these points of light shot out in unison towards the surrounding mechs.
Faced with these densely packed magic bullets, the warriors naturally couldn't just sit and wait to die. A magic shield immediately appeared in front of them. However, when faced with the angry attack of the legendary creature Bessiemor, these magic shields shattered as easily as glass.
Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom.........
