Chapter 549

Boom!

At this moment, the laser railgun from the Kunlun battleship had finished charging and instantly erupted.

Hundreds of thick beams of light, each about ten meters in diameter, crashed down.

Some lesser-order followers in the air were struck by the light beams and instantly turned to ashes, but more followers successfully passed through the gaps between the laser cannon beams and entered within a hundred meters of the Kunlun battleship!

"These lesser-order followers' trajectories have been pre-planned. The apostles observed the Kunlun battleship's previous attacks and determined the attack range and interval of the laser railgun! That's why they can so easily pass through the fire blockade!" Li Tianran quickly realized that these lesser-order followers were very easily dodging the Kunlun battleship's attacks, weaving through the gaps between the laser cannon beams.

Boom!

The laser railgun swept across the sky and instantly landed on the two miracle buildings below, dazzling light blooming, and smoke engulfing the earth, making the ground a chaotic blur.

About three thousand Yuren (feathered people) followers emerged from the miracle buildings, but due to poor positioning, probably less than a hundred were killed by the laser cannon bombardment!

Li Tianran didn't believe that these followers' brains and bodies could react faster than the speed of light. The only explanation was that in the previous attacks, the passive defense equipment in the two miracle buildings had completely analyzed the Kunlun battleship's laser railgun's attack rules and issued the correct and safe attack routes to these followers in advance.

Although the civilization levels of several miracle buildings were similar, and some of their equipment, weapons, and energy usage methods were alike, their internal structures were not entirely identical.

It was like how, within human civilization, the EU and Russia both have missiles, defense systems, and nuclear weapons, and their technological levels are on the same playing field, but the fighter jets, submarines, missile defense systems, and other functions used by the two countries are not the same.

The Sky Citadel's defense system did not have a defense system like the one in the Kuangfeng (Gale) Apostle's miracle building, which could plan an absolutely safe route in a short amount of time based on the enemy's attack patterns...

That's why Li Tianran felt a brief moment of surprise.

But there was no time to think about it.

A large number of lesser-order followers had already broken into the hundred-meter range of the Kunlun battleship. They were too fast, and at this distance, the laser railgun was no longer effective.

"The Kunlun battleship's autonomous defense system has been activated..."

A piercing alarm sounded, and countless tiny gun muzzles extended from the steel body of the Kunlun battleship, densely packed.

Armor-piercing rounds, incendiary bombs, concussion bombs, electromagnetic pulse weapons, and everything else were all present in these gun muzzles.

The Kunlun battleship was a pure war machine, possessing almost every type of weapon attack method in the world.

Rat-tat-tat!

Boom!

Buzz!

Almost at the same moment as the alarm sounded, these extended small gun muzzles began to roar madly, continuously strafing the approaching followers.

Armor-piercing rounds roared, tearing apart the followers' wings.

Incendiary bombs exploded, and the intense light and thousands of degrees of heat evaporated even their blood.

Concussion bombs rumbled, and electromagnetic pulse waves spread out. Some followers who were closer to the center of the concussion had their brains shattered, and their bodies fell straight down from the air like stones.

It was a vast net of artillery fire, and the followers were like fish trying to break through this net, desperately flapping their wings, but one after another, they fell under this terrifying hail of fire.

But...

Even if the Kunlun battleship's firepower net was dense, there would always be fish that slipped through.

A follower was covered in blood, its left arm was broken, and its two wings were charred, revealing the bones inside, making it look almost like a corpse.

But it successfully passed through the dense firepower net, stood on the Kunlun battleship's hull, and suddenly roared, using its only remaining right arm to grab a gun barrel and tear it apart!

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed on the Kunlun battleship's massive body.

"Warning! Warning! The hull has suffered damage... Damage level, zero point zero one percent!"

The alarm sounded in the command room.

Destroying a gun barrel was insignificant to the entire Kunlun battleship.

But it represented a very serious signal.

That was, the Kunlun battleship could not intercept all enemies outside, and it had been breached!

In the command room, Li Tianran, as the commander of the entire army, was no longer safe!

"Pioneers... follow me!" Lu Chi didn't hesitate, clamping the caliper on the steel saber to his wrist to ensure the weapon wouldn't slip during combat, and then strode towards the outer passage.

Three thousand pioneers followed behind Lu Chi, preparing to leave the operations room to intercept the enemies who had broken onto the Kunlun battleship.

This was their mission.

Everyone knew that in this war, Li Tianran, as the core, must not be affected in any way or be in any danger!

If sea beasts dared to approach, they would kill the sea beasts.

If followers dared to come up, they would destroy the followers.

Even if an apostle broke into the Kunlun, the Pioneer Legion would stop it outside the command room!

Li Tianran didn't pay attention to the pioneers' movements.

Although the second-stage evolvers were powerful, they had all suffered heavy damage after forcibly passing through the Kunlun battleship's autonomous defense firepower net, so the Pioneer Legion wouldn't be under too much pressure.

His gaze focused on the ground below, which was obscured by smoke.

The two miracle buildings were completely obscured by the turbulent smoke, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

"Thermal satellites, sonar, immediately survey that area..." Li Tianran frowned and pointed to the area where the miracle buildings were located below.

He needed to know what damage the two miracle buildings, which had lost the protection of the boundary tower barrier, had suffered under the Kunlun battleship's bombardment.

Had those two apostles... been severely injured?

...

Just as the battle on the Great Desert was extremely fierce and intense, the battlefield situation in the T-119 area was very clear. Under Li Zhi's cutting tactics, those beast tides that launched a frantic attack on the defense line were effectively eliminated, and no sea beast was able to break into the two-kilometer range of the defense line walls.

Even with the addition of lesser-order followers, the battle formation composed of mecha warriors, pioneers, and evolver troops remained unbreakable and as solid as a rock.

Li Zhi sat in the command room, watching the progress of the war through the monitoring images from the front lines, with a confident smile on his face.

If the situation continued like this, even if they fought for another ten days, this defense line would still not be breached.

"Commander-in-chief!"

Just then, a voice rang out. It was the monitoring team member responsible for observing the movements of the entire battlefield. At this time, the staff member's face was a little pale, and he pointed to the picture on the monitoring screen and said:

"The Ocean Apostle... has moved!"

"It's coming towards the defense line!"
