Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1149: Steel Beast (2)

Hiss hiss--

The Ghanaians let out a series of strange noises, and under the night, they swam in groups. Rocks, shrubs, and mountains couldn't stop them. They were like a black flood that drowned the mountain path inch by inch, charging towards Hubble and the others.

In front of Hubble was a predator, Andreessen.

The situation could not be worse.

At this moment, the Gatu man could still laugh. He said to Andreessen, "Hey, bug, have you seen any fireworks?"

Andreessen opened his mouth and threw himself at the two men on the ground, replacing his answer with action.

Hubble raised his hands and said, "Let's have a fireworks feast." Behind the Gatu people, a pale red mist was spinning, and from the center of the mist of blood, a spear tip was stretched out. Those were all bright red spears. Just as they broke through the mist, they stirred up boundless killing intent. A long spear finally escaped the bloody mist. The Dark Blade Warrior could clearly see the shape of the spear.

It was somewhat like a long spear used by knights to charge forward. It was wide in front and wide in the back, in the shape of a cone. The battle spear was purely made up of Origin Energy. Its entire body was bloody red, but in the middle was pitch black like an abyss. Hubble held the spear in one hand and pointed at Andreessen's head with his forefinger. A small black dot instantly appeared between the two. All the debris on the ground floated up, and the entire ground began to tremble.

Then the black dot continued to expand, as if a black sun had risen on the mountain path.

Then there was an earth-shattering explosion.

The explosion radiated the space within a radius of a hundred meters. The energy filled every corner of the space in the most violent manner. After more than half of the heat energy was evaporated, it formed a flame. Black-red flames surged out, and countless sparks shot down from the pillars of fire. It was indeed like fireworks.

The Dark Blade Warrior was lifted up at the time of the explosion, and then the scenery quickly retreated. In his eyes, the flames of the explosion chased after him relentlessly. The moment he caught up to him, the flames almost licked his eyes.

When the scenery did not go back, he found himself on a low slope and then put it on the ground. It turned out to be Hubble. Gatu waved his hand, and the energy rifles behind him shot towards the Garner troops one after another. Each spear must carry a ball of fire, which blossomed in the flood tide of the Canaanites. Countless lives were instantly erased, and under the explosive fireworks, several charred black areas were blasted out of the Jana army.

After throwing a violent spear, Hubble's aura had obviously dropped a lot. At this moment, Andreessen's roar came from the mountain path. He was knocked out of the flames, ignoring the burning flames on his body and shouting angrily as he rushed towards Hubble like a speeding train. Andreessen used a straight-line sprint, and everything that stood in his way was crushed to pieces by him.

The Dark Blade Warrior could see an eye on his head tightly closed, blood dripping from the rift between his eyes. It seemed that the eye could no longer be preserved. No wonder the predator was so furious that he blew up an eye for Hubble.

"Time to go." Hubble threw out his last berserk spear, causing the entire mountain path to tremble. The explosive flames dyed the surroundings orange-red. Andreessen's charge stopped. When he rushed past the flames, there were no figures of Hubble or humans on the low slope. The predator roared, issuing a series of commands in the language of the Jana. The troops behind him immediately split into several fronts, flowing through the mountains like undercurrents, chasing after Hubble and the others.

The resupply point where Hubble and the others were staying was already very close to the edge of the mountain. With their full speed, they soon left the mountain. After passing through a low hill, they officially entered the boundary of the Absolute Shadow Highland.

The Absolute Shadow Highland was flat, and there were few obstacles on the ground. On the other side of the highlands was Mountain City, where Hubble and the others were safe to flee. However, not long after they left the Lagmar Mountains, the Jana soldiers followed them out of the mountains. They gathered together again, forming a surging tide of soldiers. At this time, Hubble and the others had no other choice but to fight for speed and endurance.

A hill at the edge of the mountain suddenly burst into pieces and exploded. Andreessen brutally smashed into the hill, paddling a hundred feet, following closely behind the large army. Strictly speaking, this place was already the territory of the human empire. Before the army launched an official attack, Andreessen was not allowed to approach this highland. But Hubble was not far away, as if he could catch the remaining two insects as long as he persisted for a little longer.

The people of Gatu were definitely fat bugs, and Anfey Lisen had already thought of how to get rid of this guy who dared to blow his eyes out. At this moment, besides the sounds of the Canaanites, there were also some strange noises on the high ground. Andreessen's keen sense of hearing captured these unusual sounds, which sounded like muffled sounds from large amounts of gas passing through pipes, as well as heavy echoes of heavy objects running over the ground.

Not long after, Andreessen noticed something strange in the darkness ahead. Two dots of light appeared from the faint fog on the high ground. Then, a head emerged from the fog. It looked like a lion, but this fellow was made of steel. An iron pipe stretched out from the steel lion's mouth, and Andreessen was not very clear about its function. Then he saw the body of the steel lion. It had no limbs, and its body was clumsy, square. There were rows of metal pipes on both sides, and white hot smoke was constantly spewing out from those pipes.

The sound of the jet came from the metal pipe. Andreessen's instincts told him that these things must have been made by humans. Those fragile creatures loved fire and steel, and could make strange things. However, Andreessen had never seen these strange creatures before, and he could not understand why it would be useful to forge such a ferocious beast out of steel.

More ferocious steel beasts emerged from the mist. There were about ten of them, not many in number, and their formations were scattered. Andreessen was confident that he could swallow these steel monsters with a single charge. Hubble also saw these strange things, and the Gatu people were surprised, "What is this?"

The Dark Blade Warrior beside him said joyfully, "It's one of our people. That's our secret weapon!"

"These heavy things are secret weapons?" Hubble's tone was full of suspicion, but it didn't stop him from continuing his journey.

At this moment, half of that body of the lead bronze lion was stretched out, and Hubble saw the man clearly through the lion's two shining eyes. Belmord smiled and said, "Big man, long time no see. Are you alright?"

Hubble said unhappily, "I'm chasing a swarm of bugs behind my butt. How do you think I'll feel?"

Belmord laughed and nodded, "Don't worry, leave the bugs to us."

"Just these weird things? Are you going to crush the insects or crush them? Oh, I think you guys will fall. Don't blame me for not reminding you. There's still an Andreessen chasing after you." Said Hubble loudly.

"Just watch and see how we send these bugs back." After saying that, Belmord drilled back in.

Moments later, all the steel beasts stopped. They were still several hundred meters away from the Jana army. Then, in the mouth of a ferocious beast, the iron pipe suddenly exploded with dazzling flames, and then a sharp sound of air breaking sounded from the high ground. Hubble was quick-witted and subconsciously grabbed the Dark Blade Warrior and pounced on the ground. A strong stream of air flew not far from them. Hubble turned around and saw that it was a cannonball. He could only see that the cannonball was painted orange-red. Then the cannonballs had struck straight into the Canadian army.

The bodies of the first dozen or so Jianas were directly shattered by the cannonballs. Immediately after, a muffled explosion sounded. Fireballs rose from the Jianas' army. At the center of the fireballs were charred corpses. The flames spread out, burning the nearby Jianas to the point of hissing. But Belmord didn't give them time to react. The Copper-Iron Beast fired cannons again and again. Only then did Hubble realize that the strange-looking iron barrel was actually a cannon.

Andreessen was no stranger to artillery invented by humans, but this was the first time he had seen an artillery mounted on that strange iron block. Moreover, the sound of these cannons seemed to be too frequent and continuous, completely overturning the precedent of human cannons having to be reloaded after firing. Heat and flame were absolutely the most hateful things to the Canadians. These creatures who had lived in the crypt for many years loved humidity and darkness, but now they were in the hell of the blazing flames.

The artillery systems on those ferocious steel beasts were modified by Lin Si on the basis of the Divine Flame Cannon. They increased the propelling force of the artillery system once again, allowing the cannonballs to shoot faster and farther. In addition, the cannonball used for firing followed the design similar to that of a nitrate mine, filling the outer wall of the cannonball with nitrate oil and the inner liner of the cannonball. When the outer wall of the cannonball is crushed and exploded by the inner air, nitric oil is sprayed all around the battlefield. After the cannonball exploded, the flames would lick the oil and cause 20% damage to the enemy. The Garner's body armor could block swords and blades, but it could not prevent the contamination and penetration of nitric oil. It could not avoid the consequences of being caught in the flames.

Moreover, just the impact kinetic energy of the cannonball was equivalent to an attack from a Level 20 expert. When an ordinary Canadian was directly hit by a cannonball, a physical impact was enough to tear apart their bodies!

That night, the mechanical kinetic energy for the first time displayed their powerful potential to life on this planet, and heralded the arrival of something other than experts that could shape the pattern of war. josei

Under the almost uninterrupted saturation bombardment of the Steel Beast, Andreessen had no choice but to order his troops to retreat. With a twelve percent unwillingness, he swept his vicious gaze towards the steel monsters under the night sky, but helplessly brought the remnants of his army into the Lagmar Mountains. This was the greatest humiliation Andreessen had ever suffered in his life, because under the cannon fire of those ferocious steel beasts, he had actually retreated.
