Chapter 624: Collapse

This was a pure massacre.

Nail thought, sitting on the top floor of the tower, his hand on the handle of the jiqiang.

As long as he pulled the trigger, this steel weapon would continuously spew out tongues of fire, shooting bullets at the enemy like flowing water. The area where the muzzle pointed would soon be covered by a net of death, and the lives within it would be shattered, like porcelain bowls falling from a table.

The feeling of dominating the battlefield from above made his blood boil.

And so did his comrades in the same squad.

"Sixty-sixth! Look, that poor wretch is all broken up."

"How are you counting? It's clearly the sixtieth!"

"Look over there, there's a guy still rolling on the ground, give him a quick end."

"His intestines are all over the place, don't waste danyao, let him struggle slowly!"

With a crisp click, the ammunition belt slid down, and another box of bullets was empty.

"Cover the guys in the third trench, I need to change the ammunition box here!" Nail shouted to another jiqiang squad in the tower.

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

His teammates quickly dragged over a new box of bullets. While replacing the ammunition belt, Nail didn't idle. He put on thick single gloves, used special calipers to clamp the still-smoking barrel, held the barrel with one hand, and disassembled it in three or five strokes, gently placing it on the ground beside him.

According to the requirements during training, unless absolutely necessary, continuous firing was allowed, otherwise the barrel had to be replaced after firing a box of bullets to prevent the barrel from overheating and deforming. He heard that these gray-black steel pipes that fit seamlessly with the rifling of the chamber were all made by witch Anna xiaojie herself, and each one cost about fifty gold royals, which made the squad members treat the jiqiang as if they were their own children.

After installing the cooled barrel, the piercing firing sound rang out again in the tower.

"Look, at the east end of the first trench, there's a witch!"

Someone suddenly yelled beside him.

"That's not a witch, you idiot, they are Purifiers, Nana Waxiaojie's enemies!"

Nail also saw the target pointed out by his teammate.

The woman in the red robe was probably hit in the leg by a stray bullet and was crawling slowly forward on the ground, with a shallow trail of blood dragging behind the corner of her robe.

He aimed the muzzle at the Purifier, but suddenly a sense of unbearable pity arose in his heart, and he didn't pull the trigger for a moment.

Judging from her figure, she was probably not yet an adult.

"Shoot, what are you waiting for?"

"I..."

In the moment of hesitation, a series of sand columns quickly swept across her body.

The struggle stopped, and blood spread from her abdomen, like a small red flower.

"Damn it, someone stole the kill again!"

"Don't say that," another person interrupted, patting Nail on the shoulder at the same time, "If you feel tired, let me do it."

He took a deep breath, "No, I'm fine."

The boiling blood cooled down a little.

This was a war with the Church, regardless of age, the enemy was the enemy, and he was still a little too weak. Nail bit his teeth secretly, putting the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

"Wait, what's happening in the middle of the third trench?" The observer of another squad suddenly exclaimed, "The ground is collapsing?"

"Oh my god, what is that thing?"

"Damn it... it's a Purifier! And more than one, kill them quickly!"

Nail quickly turned the muzzle, and saw a square pit suddenly appeared in the center of the third trench, the four walls as smooth as if they had been cut out with a knife. A woman in black veil jumped out of the bottom of the pit, stood upright with her hands behind her back.

Before he could fire,

He heard a rush of wind beside his ear.

Just as he turned his head, the butt of a gun slammed hard into his face.

Nail instantly felt a darkness in front of his eyes and fell to the ground. The last scene he saw before losing consciousness was his teammate raising his spear at him.

……

Luo Lan stood on the command platform, observing the increasingly clear defensive line with a telescope.

Some of the enemies had crossed the first three trenches and were advancing towards the fourth trench, but the soldiers retreating from the front line made the firepower of the subsequent defense lines more and more concentrated, and under the continuous strafing of the two jiqiang towers occupying high points, the offensive momentum of the God's Punishment Army clearly showed a decline.

According to this trend, they had no chance of reaching the remaining five trenches and artillery positions. Because the firepower on the ground was too fierce, many Church soldiers had already turned into the trenches, and the First Army would inevitably establish blocking points at the exit of each longitudinal trench according to the plan. In this way, the enemy's advancing speed would be greatly reduced, and the speed advantage of the God's Punishment Army would no longer be obvious.

The Judgment Army was only gradually entering the battlefield at this moment. This force suffered heavy losses under the attack of the fortress artillery. It was really beyond Luo Lan's expectation that they had not collapsed until now. As for being able to enter the battle immediately, it was nothing more than the credit of the Frenzy Pills. However, compared to the God's Punishment Army, their threat was obviously much lower – the Frenzy Pills could not make people immune to fear. When the Judgment Army was subjected to the double baptism of field artillery and jiqiang, I'm afraid the will of the gods could not save them.

It must be said that the greatest contributors to this battle were the Ting Mark 1 heavy jiqiang deployed in the bunkers and towers on both sides of the position. In order to ensure that they could continue to fire, not only were there enough bullets, but each squad was also equipped with nearly ten spare barrels.

The only trouble was that, in this way, the bullets that had been accumulated with great difficulty were estimated to be running out. Of course, if the main force of the Church could be completely wiped out here, this price was extremely worthwhile.

During this period, Sylvie also observed several magic power reactions, but those Purifiers did not play a significant role in the hail of bullets. They advanced forward with the God's Punishment Army, but soon disappeared into the smoke and gunfire.

The victory was decided!

The Hermes Church was about to become a historical dust.

Just as Luo Lan thought so, an accident happened!

"Ahead, a large number of Purifiers have appeared!" Sylvie, who was also standing on the high platform, issued a warning, "Four - no, five!"

The surface of the third trench suddenly bulged, as if it was being lifted by something, and then quickly sank downwards, dragging the surrounding barbed wire and wooden stakes into the ground.

A woman in a black veil appeared in the collapsed position. She did not make any movements, just looked straight ahead.

A strange scene appeared.

The soldiers in the trench turned their muzzles at their own chins, and then pulled the trigger.

Clusters of blood mist shot out from the trench, like red fountains rising and falling.

The four jiqiang bunkers also fell silent at the same time.

The soldiers who were not affected woke up as if from a dream and raised their guns to shoot at her.

The Purifier was hit by several bullets in the blink of an eye and fell backwards into the pit.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Judgment Army, who had taken the Frenzy Pills, rushed towards the defense line.
