A violent explosion suddenly erupted. He looked towards the direction of the blast, only to see a mass of bright yellow fire had already burst open!
And immediately after, more explosions echoed around Half Tower Town.
At this moment, Jin Zhong finally noticed that the so-called explosions...
Were actually from meteors streaking across the sky!
It wasn’t the miracle of the Holy Trinity!
It was the artillery fire from Huadu!
"Take cover! Take cover!"
Jin Zhong shouted furiously, quickly moving through the trenches, pushing back the Guard Brigade soldiers who hadn’t yet reacted and were still peeking out, back under cover.
By this time, the frequency of the falling meteors had already reached its peak.
Explosions thundered one after another, and the ground was completely engulfed in fire and smoke.
Amidst the chaos, endless screams and wails constantly resounded.
The elite combat brigade could still maintain their composure, but on the other hand, the rear cannon formation under attack had already completely collapsed.
Numerous Mechanical Servants and Fire Cannon Priests fled in a flurry, and Jin Zhong tried to pull them back to their positions, but under the opponent’s concentrated artillery fire, those whose faith was not firm had absolutely no courage to continue fighting.
Jin Zhong screamed as he pulled the trigger, shooting at his own men for the first time.
A blossom of blood exploded on the body of the other person, and instantaneously life was snuffed out.
Yet, even so, the crowd fleeing around him did not pause in the slightest.
As if they had already foreseen the end.
Running away means death, staying here is also death, might as well run and have a slim chance of survival!
The collapse became unstoppable, and Jin Zhong had no choice but to gather the soldiers of the combat brigade, attempting to operate the artillery for a counterattack.
But their actions were not proficient, and without the assistance of Mechanical Servants and Fire Cannon Priests, the artillery fire they launched was as insignificant as a firefly under a sky full of stars.
And at this moment, Huadu’s second round of artillery assault had already arrived.
This time, it was powerful heavy artillery, capable of rivaling the giant cannons of the Mechanical God Sect!
The massive shockwave threw Jin Zhong to the ground, shattered shrapnel pierced through the body of another warrior in front of him, then deeply embedded into the armor of his chest.
Struck like a heavy hammer, he struggled to rise, surrounded by a scene of utter hell.
Blood, smoke, wails...
Jin Zhong staggered to his feet; at this moment, he didn’t know what to do anymore.
He wanted to find an enemy to fight, but the enemy was still hundreds, if not thousands of meters away.
The dense human figures looked as small as ants, and Jin Zhong knew when they truly charged in, there wouldn’t be much resistance left in Half Tower Town’s defenses.
The Mechanical God Sect has truly decayed.
Even against a suddenly rising power like Huadu, it’s beyond our capacity to respond.
Have the gods abandoned us, or have we abandoned the gods?
Jin Zhong closed his eyes in despair.
A huge artillery blast suddenly erupted from behind him.
Immediately afterward, the dense buzzing whizzed overhead.
Jin Zhong turned to look.
A massive iron elephant was leaping over the shallow trenches in an invincible posture!
And when it crashed to the ground with a magnificent plume of dust, a second shell had already been fired!
Jin Zhong stared in awe at the spectacle, and after a moment, intermittent, slightly muffled voices suddenly came through the radio hanging on his chest.
"Electromagnetic shielding... established."
"Intervention... communication..."
"Mechanical God Sect Guard Brigade... retreat from the position!"
