People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

"Reporting to the commander, six out of ten shells hit the target... The target does not seem to be damaged. Should we continue firing?"

"Have the missed gun crew adjust their angle, and then..."

Jeppard said in his steady voice, "Deploy the other five City Builder Cannons and keep firing."

"Yes!!!"

Another huge amount of energy was burned and turned into ammunition for weapons. Fifteen huge cannons aimed at the ancient beast in the distance and completed a round of salvos after charging.

Of the fifteen shots, three missed the target, and the other twelve all hit the target.

The explosion this time was even more terrifying. The simultaneous firing of 15 City Builder Cannons was enough to annihilate a large wave of beasts born from the Rift. Such a terrifying number of beasts had probably only been used in the war seven hundred years ago...

But when the ancient beast flew out, she was still intact and flew straight towards this side.

"Report to the commander..."

"Keep firing."

"Yes!!!"

As Jeppard's orders were given, the Facilitator Cannons fired round after round of salvos. The earth marrow, which was enough to keep the entire Beloberg running for many days, turned into shells and were fired out. By the end of the fifth round, all twenty cannons were put into use, but they still did not cause any trouble to the behemoth in the distance.

She was getting closer and closer to the city wall.

Oh, the Supreme Amber King, if you truly exist, please open your eyes and save Beloberg...

The soldier responsible for reporting the ancient beast's movements prayed in his heart, but all he could hear was Jeppard's cold, steady words:

"Keep firing."

"Yes!!!"

During the sixth salvo, something strange happened when the cannon was charging. The soldier in charge of observation noticed that something seemed to be falling from the sky above the giant beast.

It was not until the shells were fired that he realized what they were - three destructive beams from the Star Train's rail gun fell from the sky, and together with 20 shells, smashed into the ancient beast's head. The beams burst out in an instant and razed everything around it to the ground.

After this round of attack, the scout keenly noticed that the giant beast's movements seemed to slow down... She, she was injured!

"Report to the commander, friendly support has arrived! The Northern Behemoth... The Northern Behemoth's movements are starting to slow down! The attack was effective, and she's injured!"

Jeppard's voice paused for a moment, and then he responded more forcefully than before:

"Keep firing!"

Group number, and updates for tomorrow

ps: emmm...some people complained that the latest chapter was a bit watery and slow. To be honest, it is a bit (although I feel it is pretty good)

However, considering that readers are God, since readers have spoken, they must be satisfied, so tomorrow I will update 8000 words and fast forward to the end of the event.

If the monthly ticket, post interval and other data are good, I may increase the number of chapters to 1. The highlight is one word - hard work qwq!

Hardworking fish school:963084586

Come in and play. I may put some things in the group that cannot be put in the book, such as the story of the Mother of Delusion and the Green Tongue that must be told /(//o/ω/o//)/

In short, you know what I mean. However, the update time for this kind of thing is not fixed. It depends on the number of manuscripts I have saved. I will write more when I have free time.

Chapter 69: Use Myself! (First Update)

The behemoth's movements slowed down, which was undoubtedly good news. The support from friendly forces was even more encouraging. The sudden relief of pressure made Jeppard feel relieved.

Ji Zi's railguns on the Star Train can directly extract energy from the train, rounding it off to a mini version of infinite energy. So there's no need to worry, just fire.

Now that things have come to this, Walter, the former Acting Ruler, no longer hides his abilities. He uses his remaining creative power and calls upon the power of destiny to temporarily construct three new railguns, which are connected to the train's energy source. Six of them fire to provide support on the ground.

At the same time, in the Iron Guard restricted area on the ground, mineral energy from the rear was continuously transported to the front line to supply the consumption of the city builders' cannons.

For a moment, no matter civilians or soldiers, local natives or aliens, everyone worked together to try to stop Yue Yan from approaching the city. It can be said that they did everything they could.

But... unfortunately, these alone are not enough to fight against a greedy envoy, even though it is just a weakened version of a weakened version of a weakened version...

Yue Yan's speed did slow down, but she was still moving towards Beloberg firmly. She was there, not annoyed by the attack, nor distracted by anything else, and would not fight back. Instead, she moved forward calmly and naturally, as if even the attack from the railgun could not stop her determination to eat.

Just like what she often said - man is iron and rice is steel, if you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.

On the Iron Guard's side, huge amounts of earth marrow were consumed with each volley, like a reservoir being opened. Even Jeppard felt pressured when he thought about the energy being consumed.

But the consumption at this moment is only temporary. The star core is gone. As long as they can stop this big guy in front of them, the lower area will soon be able to take back the large mining area occupied by the rift. By then, the output of the earth's marrow will rise sharply, and the deficit of the upper area will be filled in less than a year.

All the investment is worth it.

On the other side, the train crew was also staring at Yue Yan, who was less than two kilometers away from the city wall. But unfortunately, facing a battle of this scale, they could not really help. If they rashly approached, they would be accidentally injured by their own cannons.

"It would be so nice if Mr. Achieveri were still alive. The unknown guest would have been so lucky."

Sanyueqi sighed: "If we could get another Star God to help us, we would definitely be able to stop Yue Yan right now."

No one replied to her. Dan Heng looked down at the spear in his hand, on which a faint green dragon pattern could be seen.

The cold-faced little green dragon remained silent.

As for Xing, she was holding the cold spear that Cocolia used to control the creation engine, but this thing required the identity authentication of a great guardian to use. In the hands of others, it was just a high-quality weapon.

Besides, even if the creation engine was really shaken over... a giant robot with a broken arm would only be able to provide additional food to Yue Yan at this moment, and it would be easy to be accidentally injured by friendly forces.

……

When the ancient beast in the north was only about 1 kilometer away from the city wall, the earth marrow stored on the front line was almost exhausted, and the frequency of cannon fire began to gradually decrease. Even if the rear continued to transport forward after stopping all unnecessary consumption, it could not make up for such terrible energy consumption.

To make matters worse, the news is that as the distance between the city wall and the Moon Blade gradually shortens, both the railgun and the City Builder cannon must slowly reduce their power delivery, otherwise they may cause damage to their side.

Faced with the natural disaster that was already imminent, everyone was sweating.

Nine hundred meters, eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters... getting closer and closer.

The soldiers at the city gate had already seen the appearance of the head of the ancient beast clearly - what a beautiful and holy beast. Even after being attacked so many times, there was not a trace of anger in its eyes. Instead, it still floated forward steadily, as if out of some kind of mercy and charity, approaching its goal step by step.

It withstood hundreds of attacks from the City Builder's cannon and railgun without suffering any serious damage... Is this really a mortal creature? What on earth are we fighting against?

A trace of self-doubt arose in the hearts of the Iron Guards.

Is there any real hope of victory in the face of such an existence?

Torment, tension, and negative emotions began to spread. For a unit, this was usually a sign of impending morale collapse. Facing an increasingly close enemy, they didn't understand the point of such a battle and could only numbly carry earth marrow ore to replenish the consumed energy of the giant cannon...

"Are we going to die here?"

A young man who had just been in the army for six months asked the veteran who led him in a desperate tone:

"I don't want to die yet... I want to go back and see my mother. I haven't seen her for a long time."

"I do not know."

The veteran shook his head. After loading a basket of marrow ore onto the truck, he replied in confusion:

"I haven't seen my parents for three years..."

But the confusion could not suppress the fighting spirit burning in his eyes. He still did not give up. After putting down the ore in his hand, he stepped on the pile of marrow beside him to stand on a high place, and shouted at his numb comrades with all his strength:

"Comrades! Think of your families and friends... Cheer up, we are the Silvermane Guard, we must not retreat! Because behind us is Beloberg!!!"

With the will to preserve and protect, we swear to defend the city walls!!!"

The veins on the old soldier's neck bulged from the force. These passionate words inspired everyone, and their somewhat shaken faith was re-established, like a spark in hay that instantly ignited a raging fire. The Iron Guards responded in droves, shouting at the top of their lungs:

"With the determination to preserve and protect, we swear to defend the city walls!!!"

Generally speaking, strong will and faith cannot change objective facts, but obviously... this is not the case in a world with gods.

For a moment, golden light sprinkled on the earth, and the protective power of the entire Iron Guard restricted area seemed to be condensed into one by the collective will of the soldiers.

The deafening shout, carrying the power of fate, actually built a new wall in front of the ancient beast, blocking her way. She was forced to stop and start gnawing at the golden wall, trying to bite out a door large enough for her to pass through.

At the same time, Xing on the wall seemed to have made up her mind. After taking a few deep breaths, she turned over and jumped off the high wall with a lance in her hand. Ignoring the shouts of her companions behind her, she jumped onto a motorcycle with plenty of fuel, started the engine and rushed out.

Sanyue, who was standing by, had no time to stop her and could only shout her name, but the answer she got was:

"This won't work, there's still not enough time, I have to lure Yue Yan away!

Just use myself!"

Chapter 70: Turning Point (Part 2)

That's right, what Xing wanted to do was to use her own star core to lure Yue Yan away. No matter how stable the core in her body was, it was still based on her as a container. She had a way to make its energy leak out, but the method was a bit dangerous.

If not controlled properly, it might cause the core of the star to explode, sending her soaring into the sky on the spot.

But as long as it can be leaked out, it will be fine. The energy level of the star core is much stronger than the earth marrow, and it will definitely attract Yue Yan's attention.

At this moment, she was blocked by the golden wall that suddenly appeared. She stopped where she was and was trying to bite through it. She was unable to get any closer to the wall. This was her good opportunity.

Looking at the terrifyingly huge body of his former companion that blocked out the sky, scenes of past experiences flashed through his mind. Xing, who was galloping across the snowy plains, gritted his teeth, accelerated suddenly, stepped on the accelerator to the limit, and left a conspicuous trail of wheel marks in the snow.

She said to herself:

"Yue Yan, just wait... I will definitely rescue you!"

……

The city wall, hastily built with the life force of the Iron Guards, did not last long. It only lasted about ten seconds before the beast head gnawed a large enough gap in it.

She continued to move, and was now less than 400 meters away from the city wall.

The City Builders' cannons and railguns had all ceased fire. Firing at this distance would simply be courting death. The Iron Guards on the city walls would perish under their own artillery before succumbing to the cold caused by insufficient energy...

Already, nothing can stop her?

Even the usually calm Jeppard was close to despair, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, Danheng on the wall had finished all his inner struggles and was ready to stab the indigenous brothers of Yalilo No. 6 with a spear - open a big hole!

Known as the Cold-Faced Little Green Dragon, he held the spear given by an old friend, closed his eyes, and began to communicate with the sinful power deep in his soul. He was unwilling to face the power in his blood, but what he was even more unwilling to see was innocent lives being lost in front of him because of his inaction.

"I didn't want to use..."

"Dan Heng, look!"

But at this moment, March's voice suddenly interrupted him. He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked forward in the direction the other party pointed. He saw that the beast head that looked like a disaster had turned and began to head north.

It’s like you were planning to go here for rice rolls for dinner, but while walking on the road you suddenly remembered a better restaurant and turned around to eat malatang.

"Report to the commander, the northern beast has begun to turn for unknown reasons and is now gradually moving away from the city wall!"

Jeppard was almost ecstatic, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he continued calmly:

"Don't let your guard down. Continue replenishing the Earth Marrow and have the City Builders' cannon crews ready at all times."

"Yes!"

……

Turning the focus to Xing's side, she was still riding a motorcycle at full speed. The clothes on her chest had been burned into a ball of charred black charcoal by the high temperature emitted by the core of the star, while in the center was a ball of bright white light comparable to that of Yagito.

Needless to say, this thing is the core of a star.

The rift that had not yet dissipated condensed and reappeared beside her, cheering and celebrating the arrival of the new master. The creations of the wind carried out her will and blessed her with speed, so that her feet could reach farther.

But she couldn't be happy.

The power of pioneering destiny is continuously injected into the core of the star to break its stability. It not only consumes a huge amount of energy, but also puts a torturous strain on the body.

She had to drive while distracted by the high temperature and severe pain, and control the injected power of destiny at the same time to prevent excessive injection in a short period of time, which would cause the core of the star to be completely released and eventually explode herself.

The temperature was getting higher and higher, and it had already exceeded the limit that ordinary people could endure. The motorcycle under him could not bear the weight. The rubber tires began to melt and deform. The vehicle lost control and threw Jiang Xing out.

She rolled several meters in the snow before she came to a stop. However, she did not rest for a moment. Instead, she threw away the cold spear in her hand and continued to limp towards the north.

For her now, every extra meter she runs means a greater chance of survival for Beloberg, so she cannot stop before she becomes exhausted.

The temperature rises, rises, and rises continuously.

The star core in the body is like a sun, releasing a terrifying temperature that is enough to drive people crazy. Xing's entire skin has been steamed red, and water is constantly being lost. Everything in front of his eyes has begun to blur and lose its original color.

The loss of salt can cause tinnitus and mania.

She finally couldn't run anymore. After taking the last step, she fell exhausted in the snow pile, gasping for breath. The thick layer of snow instantly melted into water, and then because of her boiling body temperature, it wet her clothes.

At this moment, a shadow appeared in the sky and fell on her face.

Xing opened her eyes dazedly and looked—it was Yue Yan. Although the things before her had long since lost their original form, she could still make out his appearance clearly, like the posture of a mythical beast in an ancient religious mural...

So beautiful... Even after becoming like this, she is still so beautiful.
