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

Chapter 67: The Most Horrifying Consequences (Part 2)

Xier looked at the sci-fi spaceship screen and exclaimed:

"Holy crap, aliens really fly spaceships?"

Should I say that Dihuo Xi is indeed a thick-skinned person. Even at this moment, she still has the mind to make jokes...

Well, it seemed like she wasn't joking, she was really exclaiming subconsciously.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Sanyue turned around and said to her, "What else can we do if not fly a spaceship? We are just aliens. We can't enter the atmosphere alone."

"Yeah, that's right."

In any case, her joke at this critical moment did ease the tense atmosphere and soothe everyone's tense nerves a little.

Dan Heng brought his spaceship flying skills to the level of Xun Zong, and also increased the speed to the maximum. He overtook the moving Yue Yan at the fastest speed and arrived near the city wall.

At first, when they saw another smaller UFO flying below the monster, the nervous Iron Guards thought it was some advance troops of the strange monster. Fortunately, Jeppard did not order the artillery to fire.

It wasn't until the spaceship got closer that he used a telescope to see the train set inside through the glass of the spaceship, and...

The long-missing frontline commander - Bronya!

Jeppard was immediately overjoyed - the commander's return to the front line was undoubtedly good news that was exciting. Although it might not have any substantial effect in facing the behemoth, the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army was obvious.

The spaceship landed quickly after entering the city. Dan Heng and his companions didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before they ran to meet Jeppard. They briefly recounted the current situation, which contained two pieces of news: one good and one bad.

The good news is that the monster has no interest in eating humans. She just wants to eat something with high energy density, such as earth marrow. Generally speaking, she is a vegetarian and will not hurt anyone.

Jeppard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as no one was hurt, it was fine. The city had plenty of energy. At worst, he could just feed them more, or clear a path so the residents wouldn't go out much.

But the bad news: that behemoth has a big appetite.

There is a high probability that after eating all the earth marrow stored in the city, it will bite through the furnace core and reach the lower city area, and destroy all the mined and unmined earth marrow crystals in the mining area in one go.

This is kind of fucking scary.

"No, we must not let her succeed!"

Jeppard said categorically:

"Even if we have to exhaust all the energy stored in the restricted area, we must stop her outside the city walls! If she enters the city, the consequences will be disastrous!"

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the train crew and saw that there were only three people. He asked with some confusion:

"I remember... your team consists of four people, right? Where did the skilled chef go?"

……

This is a case of bringing up something irrelevant. Faced with this question, everyone seems a little embarrassed...

Looking at their expressions, Jeppard naturally thought of the wrong thing.

"Could it be... a sacrifice?"

"No, she's alive and well...better than ever."

Xing shook his head, sighed, and pointed to the big black dot in the north that was getting closer and closer, and could be seen clearly without a telescope:

"That big monster head in the sky is her."

Jeppard: Pupil Earthquake

……

It should be said that the efficiency of the Iron Guards was still quite high. In order to prevent the residents of the city from losing their composure after losing the Great Guardian, Jeppard ordered a part of the Iron Guards to drive back to the city the moment he observed the behemoth, and to carry out the blockade together with the Iron Guards in the rear.

All residents must return to their rooms, close doors and windows, and not go out. The reason is that a super cold wave is approaching the Beloberg city area and it would be dangerous to stay outside.

But unfortunately, the news of this matter still leaked out - after all, they couldn't cover all the windows in the city with newspapers, and some people still observed the moon through windows and telescopes.

The news of the mysterious monster appearing in the north spread like wildfire, and panic began to spread, but it was only limited to some residential buildings. Some floors could not directly observe the north, and not every household had a telescope, so the situation was still under the control of the Iron Guard.

Turning the view back to the Iron Guard restricted area, Jeppard, who had learned Yue Yan's true identity and listened to the train crew's entire story, was in a state of both joy and worry.

The good news is that the "star core", the culprit of the cold wave that has plagued Yalilo No. 6 for more than 700 years, has been resolved. This means that the rift will not be able to expand, and there will be no way to recycle energy and create an endless stream of monsters.

What is worrying is that the person who solved the star core might suddenly turn into an even more terrifying natural disaster, which might completely destroy Beloberg in one fell swoop. That would be outrageous.

"Is there any way to stop her?"

"Have."

Dan Heng said firmly: "Being greedy doesn't mean being greedy without limits. As long as she's full, she'll probably return to normal.

The problem now is that Yaliluo 6 and the surrounding star fields combined may not be enough for her to eat."

There was no doubt that this method was as good as nothing. Jeppard asked helplessly: "Is there any other way?"

"Have."

Dan Heng continued:

"drag."

"How to delay?"

"The energy that a star core can provide is limited. I just observed through the spacecraft's equipment that the imaginary energy that belongs to the star core is being consumed continuously and rapidly. I estimate that it is being used to maintain the seal on Yue Yan. Once the energy is consumed, not only will the star core disappear completely, but Yue Yan will also be able to transform back."

He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. It was covered with mathematical formulas, so dense that it gave people a headache. These were all the calculations he had made when he first landed:

"Theoretically, as long as we can hold her back for 14 minutes and 36 seconds and prevent her from coming into contact with new energy sources during this period, my companions and I will support you.

But if she succeeds in obtaining the energy stored on the front lines, she will follow the energy pipeline all the way to the ruling district, and then go straight from the furnace core to the ground, consuming all the earth marrow crystals in sight."

Dan Heng stopped here - in fact, there were even more terrible consequences that he didn't mention.

That is, after eating the earth's marrow, Yue Yan began to try to devour the earth's core lava. His body continued to grow until it was big enough to swallow an entire planet into his stomach. Then he broke away from the bumpy planet and began to absorb stellar energy. Finally, he returned to his original form and completely became a complete body.

By then, Yalilo 6, or the entire Yalilo galaxy, will be finished...

"14 minutes and 36 seconds?"

Jeppard murmured:

"so far so good……"

This number is not so long as to be despairing.

His deep blue eyes looked forward, and his gaze seemed to penetrate countless walls, and finally came to the large amount of earth marrow piled up at the front line and the pipelines responsible for power supply.

These are all life-saving things - only by relying on these energy sources can humans survive the harsh cold wave. From supplying energy to military areas to boiling a cup of water... the earth's marrow is required.

This is the foundation of the survival of the Beloberg people and also their bloodline. He will never allow anyone to take it away!

Chapter 68: Continue to fire (a bit boring, you can skip it, the third update)

……

As a weapon of the interstellar age, the range of the City Builder Cannon installed on the city wall is very short, at least the current range is very short - only about 4 kilometers, and even this cannot guarantee accuracy, which is a bit embarrassing.

There are two main reasons.

One is the problem of the weapon itself - it was originally designed as an immovable city defense weapon and did not require strong offensive capabilities. You cannot have your cake and eat it too, so range and accuracy were sacrificed in exchange for greater power.

The second is the energy problem. 700 years later, Beloberg is in such a poor state that its technology has basically regressed to the steam age, especially in terms of energy. Compared with the highly concentrated liquefied earth marrow used by the original city builders, the current Iron Guards are equivalent to adding water to the moon rocket to wash coal.

If this cannon had been equipped with AI in the first place, it would probably have been so angry that it would have cursed.

In this situation, it's good enough that it can start and fire normally. What else do you need a bicycle for?

……

"Reporting to the commander, the northern beast has entered its maximum range. Should we fire?"

"No, the accuracy is too low, no firing... Keep me updated on the progress of the behemoth."

Inside the towering walls of the Iron Guard restricted area, Jeppard was standing at the highest point, observing Yue Yan's movements together with the observers and the train crew.

Because of the incident with the Grand Guardian, Bronya's mentality was not suitable for commanding the battle at the moment - especially in this kind of battle, it was a taboo for the commander to have an unhappy mentality, so she appointed Officer Wuwei as the temporary commander on the spot to lead the Silver Mane Iron Guard.

At the same time, the authority to fire the City Builder's cannon was also given to him, which can be said to be a complete entrustment of power.

……

The head of the giant beast, carrying a god-like holy religious aura, gradually approached Beloberg - she had already sensed that in that warm city, there were many snacks that tasted pretty good. Although they were not enough to fill her stomach, they were much better than the rocks and plants in the wild.

She is hungry and she wants to eat.

……

"Reporting to the commander, the northern beast is approximately 3900 meters from the city wall. Should we open fire?"

The front-line commander...Jepard, who was given such great power for the first time, was inevitably a little nervous, but at least on the surface he remained calm and serious, making people feel reliable.

Now the distance is too far,

"No firing."

……

"Reporting to the commander, the northern beast is approximately 3800 meters from the city wall. Should we open fire?"

There is no doubt that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He is the child of the Lang Dao family and he is capable of doing well.

He comforted himself like this.

"No firing."

……

"Reporting to the commander, the northern beast is approximately 3700 meters from the city wall. Should we open fire?"

Closer, closer.

Jeppard's eyes were staring ahead. At this distance, his eyes, strengthened by the power of destiny, could already vaguely see the outline of the beast's head.

It was truly a behemoth... The tallest mountains in the snowy plains were no match for its size. It swallowed up every tree and rock along the way. This behemoth could easily smash through... or rather, chew through this 700-year-old wall...

But he remained calm, or rather - he had to remain calm.

"No firing."

……

"Reporting to the commander, the northern beast is about 3600 meters away from the city wall. Should we open fire?

If, as the stranger said, the giant beast was a messenger of God, then could they be considered to be battling God? Even though the opponent's power at this moment was less than one-tenth of its peak strength...

"No firing."

……

A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead. Jeppard stared at the ancient beast in the distance. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only roars echoing in his heart. He was subconsciously asking questions in his heart.

Really, can it succeed?

"Report to the commander, the northern beast is about 3500 meters away from the city wall. Should we open fire?"

But the willpower he had developed over the years of military service helped him dispel all his doubts in the next second.

No matter what, she must be stopped!

So after taking a deep breath, he said:

"Permission to fire!"

"Yes!!!"

As the order to fire was given, ten of the twenty City Builder cannons on the city wall began to charge at the same time. A large amount of earth marrow was burned into pure energy and poured into them. The muzzles of the cannons were gradually filled with white light, and the terrifying energy turbulence was tightly restricted.

Three seconds later, ten energy shells, powerful enough to illuminate the sky, flew out of the fully charged muzzles at supersonic speeds, aiming directly at Yue Yan. The trajectory of the shells could not even be seen with the naked eye. It felt like something just flashed for a moment, and the next second -

"boom!!!"

Six of the ten huge cannons hit the target directly, and the energy released during the explosion formed a mushroom cloud. The aftermath even flattened the hilltop below Yue Yan.

After the smoke cleared, Yue Yan, who had been hit by eight shells, slowly floated out. She seemed to be unhindered and continued to move towards Beloberg unwaveringly.

The scout who was in charge of observation and reporting data almost bit his hind teeth off when he saw this scene - it took six shots from the City Builder's cannon without even suffering any skin injuries. Is this really a carbon-based creature?

But he still reported as usual:
