The strong factor spear hit the array, and a red light of annihilation burst out.
The soldiers behind the front line then noticed the [Frontier] running from afar. They quickly climbed back to their posts, ready to suppress the mechanical monster with firepower.
At this moment, a silver light flashed, and an elegant figure descended from the sky. The giant sword emitted a blue light in the gray curtain created by annihilation:
"Hors!"
A blue light exploded, and there was another scream in the trench. Ye Lina landed in the trench, swinging a giant sword.
The sword blade tore through the soldiers' bodies, and those soldiers shot at Yelena, but were blocked by the factor shield on his body surface.
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed in the trench with a clean tumble - it was Vasily. The Frontier threw him directly over, and the strong factor shield helped him to withstand the impact of landing.
After the tumble, Vasily raised the mechanical bow and shot the arrow that had been in his hand for a long time.
"Dang Dang Dang——"
Three federal soldiers fell down. Vasily drew out his cold steel knife and stabbed the head of a soldier who was trying to launch a sneak attack. Then he shouted:
"Elena!"
With a flash of silver light, Yelena quickly took over from Vasily, sweeping the trench with her giant sword.
Two [Iron Alliance Guards] swept through the battle line, advancing and retreating, tearing open the flesh and blood of the Federation soldiers with the cold steel from Wanren Mountain.
......
6) Under the Tower of Babel (Part 7)
The battle was over within ten minutes. Two [Iron Alliance Guards] quickly cleared the trenches. The [Silent Ones] stationed there showed up at the last moment. Before they could take out their prepared means, a giant shadow fell from the sky, and a mechanical arm forged from cold steel grabbed them, and then squeezed them hard -
"Pfft-"
The sticky black blood and armor fragments fell to the ground, forming an unrecognizable pool.
Pace shook the Frontier's mechanical arm, looked up at the two Iron Alliance Guards, and whispered:
"Yelina, be alert around you, Vasily, come in with me."
"Understood." The two nodded. Yelena spread her wings and flew into the sky, while Vasily quickly approached the door of the observatory.
Pace parked the Frontier next to the base station outside the observatory and quickly calibrated the Babel Prism.
The trunk of the Frontier was raised, and the core prism was unfolded, pointing at the dark sky.
The gravitational force of the capture factor energy began to converge towards the prism, and the destructive factor that had become extremely thin after the launch of the "Tower of Babel" began to change direction and converge on the prism.
One of the biggest advantages of conducting this project at a factor energy observatory is that the location of such facilities is generally very suitable for observing factor flows, which means that the location is geographically more suitable for capturing factor energy.
After seeing the guards defending the observatory, Pace had a new guess: sending troops to defend this place even after clearing out the surrounding troops meant that this observatory had certain strategic significance.
Perhaps, this place can really connect with the outside world.
Thinking of this, Pace confirmed that the [Babel Prism] was working, and then ejected from the [Frontier].
He walked to the door of the observatory. Vasily was already waiting for him at one side of the door. Seeing him approach, he immediately made a few gestures:
There are still people inside, defending.
Pace nodded, silently checked the hand cannon, and then leaned against the other side of the door.
Vasily counted down from three with his fingers. When it reached one, Pace kicked open the door of the observatory:
"boom--"
A dense rain of factor energy bullets came towards them, but hit nothing - neither Pace nor Vasily chose to charge directly.
In the gap between the rain of bullets, Vasily quickly stuck his head out and shot an arrow into it -
"呲-"
Thick white smoke filled the air, accompanied by bursts of coughing. Vasily had added some riot control substances to his smoke arrows, which made it difficult for the soldiers to breathe.
They used their hands to disperse the smoke, but fell one after another in it - the cold steel blade cut through the smoke, and each flash was accompanied by the sound of falling to the ground.
When the smoke cleared, Pace and Vasily took off their gas masks and found themselves standing in a pool of blood.
"Good fight." Vasily nodded.
"You too."
As Pace spoke, he pulled out his hand cannon and fired continuously at the corner of the hall.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
He had already noticed the guy hiding in the corner: a [Silent One]. The guy was wearing a mask and was obviously not disturbed by the smoke.
The Silent One's clever surprise attack was interrupted by Pace, who raised his hand to block the bullets while preparing to counterattack with a pistol loaded with Thorn bullets.
Before his bullet could be fired, an arrow emitting blue light pierced through his factor shield and pierced his arm, and he let out a miserable howl.
The next second, Pace rushed forward, pulled out the [Svarog] behind him, and swung it violently -
"Shhh-"
The flaming giant sword slashed through the shoulder of the Silent One and got stuck in his chest. He seemed to want to struggle, but Pace put the hand cannon directly to his head and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The helmet, mixed with flesh and blood, turned into pieces, and the body of the Silent One fell to the ground with a bang, motionless.
Pace pulled out the cold steel giant sword, shook off the blood on it, and then put it on his back.
He turned around and found that Vasily had already started to check the equipment in the hall without wasting a second:
"There are two good news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Aren't they all the same?" Pace came closer.
He immediately saw the first piece of good news that Vasily had mentioned: with the [Border] as the center, almost all the destructive factors of the entire northern forest were converging here, as if an invisible vortex had forcibly changed their trajectory.
As expected, it was the one who drained all the destructive factors from the Wanren Mountain... Pace inexplicably recalled the time when he and Perlis first met. In the backyard of the inn on the Wanren Mountain, Perlis had strangely complained, "Why is the destructive factor on the mountain so thin..."
Fate is really strange. Who would have thought that a powerful weapon like [Frontier] would be used in this way: to compete with [Babel] for the destruction factor? Mikhail Irenfono probably couldn't think of such an absurd plan.
Pace took a deep breath and continued to ask:
"What's the other good news?"
"Since the energy wave communication is working, it seems that the Federation has a unique frequency that will not be interfered with by the Tower of Babel. Using this frequency band, we should be able to send messages to the Dila Fleet and the Allied Forces."
Vasily searched quickly and frowned:
"I don't know much about the personnel composition of the Dila Fleet, but if Evans is still alive, he will definitely be able to decode the message we sent out, and then compile information on the same frequency band and send it to us."
"We have no choice," Pace nodded. "In the current situation, we can only believe that they are all still alive. After all, we are at the end of our rope..."
Pace recalled the meeting of kings held in Dila. At that time, he felt that everyone at the meeting, except Eshilia, seemed to have ulterior motives. They seemed to be cooperating on the surface, but in fact they all had their own little calculations.
But after William III's fearless sacrifice, Pace seemed to have changed his mind.
Following his dictation, Vasily quickly compiled a piece of intelligence consisting of code words:
"This is Tyrant. We have infiltrated the border of Lavis and delayed the launch of the Tower of Babel. If you are still alive, march towards the tower and fight until you die."
After a brief period of charging, waves of factor energy were emitted from the surface of the observatory's antenna, spreading out like water waves and surging in all directions.
After doing all this, Vasily let out a long sigh and murmured:
"In fact, there is another piece of bad news... After the death of the defender of the observatory, the Federation's large army seems to be starting to encircle us. We can only defend this observatory to the death. How long we can hold on means how long the [Frontier] will be delayed."
The tone of this tough guy from Thebite didn't seem as strong as before. Instead, it was a little hesitant, and his black eyes that were forged in the wind and snow seemed a little blurry.
But he soon frowned and stretched out his hand to Pace:
"You little brat, aren't you afraid of death?"
6) Under the Tower of Babel (Part 8)
Hearing Vasily's words, Pace wiped his forehead, and his fingertips were immediately soaked with cold sweat.
He took a deep breath and whispered:
"Not afraid."
"It's good that you're not afraid. I'm not afraid either. It's time to give it a try."
Vasily swung his hand, unfolded the mechanical bow, and began to search the structure above.
"To be honest, you are quite brave. Really brave. If you hadn't died here, you would have become a better monarch than Mikhail."
"How come you suddenly figured it out?" Pace smiled.
"Yeah, I suddenly figured it out. After all, I followed you from the mountains to Lavis, so I can be called a Thebiter who has crossed the entire continent."
After Vasily checked the bow, he took out the quiver and counted the number of arrows of different types one by one.
While looking carefully at the arrows in his hand, he asked casually:
"If you die, do you have any last wishes for me? Like any regrets?"
"No, I have already arranged all my affairs. Vans will be a qualified head of the family..." Pace lowered his head and looked at the lines on the cold steel knife. "No... I still have some regrets. There is one thing I haven't done."
"It's about that little girl named Pearlis, right?"
"You know this as well?"
"Oh, I've never seen a man look at a girl so tenderly. Do you think I can be kept in the dark?"
Vasily laughed and glanced up at Pess:
"She must be very important to you, right? But it doesn't seem like love. If it was love, you would have been stuck together after going through that kind of thing... You probably grafted your feelings for your sister onto her. It's really amazing. The eldest son of the [Blade of Babel] and the Monarch family, who would have thought that people from two opposite ends of the continent could become siblings?"
"Captain, why don't you go back and join the Snowstorm Sect? You're pretty good at judging people," Pace smiled helplessly. "Yeah... She's really alike to Lianna, gentle and elegant, but always stubborn, just like..."
"Okay, okay, stop being sentimental to me. I can't stand hearing such corny stuff." The tough guy from Debit curled his lips.
"What about you? Captain, do you have any regrets?" Pace asked back.
"Regret? What are you thinking about? I am the Iron Guard. I will obey the lord all my life. I will not leave any worries for myself."
Vasily said, putting the quiver on his back and touching his chest.
"If you die, I'll give a message to that little girl for you. What do you want to say?"
"Don't say anything. Treat her to a venison feast and she'll understand."
"Okay, I'll help you."
"What if you die? Captain, can I help you with anything?"
"Bury me in the frozen burial ground. That's the road I stayed on the longest, remember?"
"I remember it very clearly."
After saying that, Pace and Vasily stood up together, because they saw something on the observation station's radar at the same time: many small red dots were approaching this side.
"They're coming." Pace murmured in a low voice.
"There are still five minutes left. Let's go. Our mission is to defend the [border], and the rest will be left to our companions." Vasily pulled out a cold steel knife and tied it to his arm.
The two rushed out of the observatory's door and happened to see small black dots approaching rapidly from the distance - they were Federation fighter planes.
It was obvious that they intended to destroy the observatory directly with air-to-ground firepower. Before the Tower of Babel completed charging, this airspace could still be navigated.
The sound of wind whistling was heard, and Pace turned his head and saw Yelena constantly increasing her altitude, as if she was planning to engage in an air battle with those fighter jets.
At this moment, a red light streaked across the sky.
"boom--"
The Federation's fighter jets were pierced by the red light - it was an individual unit that had accelerated to the extreme, and the red factor flow formed a tail flame around it, tearing through the sky.
He madly broke through the dark shadows, and soon the sky was clear.
Then, the black shadow quickly flew towards the observation platform. Pace squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He vaguely saw a bronze flash among the red light.
"Is it that [Steam Gendarmerie]?" Vasily frowned.
"No...something's wrong..." Pace whispered, "Where does the steam armor get that kind of performance?"
The group has not contacted Harry again. The main reason is that the signal frequency bands in this area are basically very weak. It is okay in a small space, but it is difficult to receive beyond the distance, and there is also the risk of exposing the whereabouts.
Furthermore, Harry did not speak as he approached.
