Chapter 555 Hammer Drop (VIII)
Like a rainstorm.
Like a hammer.
Like a tide that drowns the view, the ground after the tidal wave is left with only a mess.
The 20mm twin semi-automatic machine guns spewed flames, and the large-caliber projectiles swept through the crowd gathered on the ground, and the soldiers on the path were either dead or disabled.
(I turned over the previous page and found that I didn’t say that the machine gun was a twin machine gun. Now I will add it, UwU)
They had no good way to deal with the Templars outside. The shields built by the knights’ long swords were so hard that even the machine guns could not penetrate them. The machine guns shifted their fire to deal with the Crusader soldiers without any protection first.
The ammunition was limited, so they cleaned up the others first.
The few Templars in the square were not so lucky. The forward arc shield could only protect a part of them in front. The crossfire of multiple interceptors could penetrate and kill these Templars who were as hard as stone from multiple angles.
The interceptor descended, opened the side drop pod, and human figures with and without animal features jumped down from a height of 10 meters.
"Hurry, hurry, move."
The soldiers of the Standard Mining Task Force landed on the ground from the floating ship that had been lowered to a height of 10 meters, holding the 04-type bolt-action rifles in their hands and vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.
10 meters is the maximum height. If it is lower, the interceptor can provide close fire support while deploying troops.
Another team of soldiers holding portable torches quickly gathered beside Yunjing and hung the lifting steel cable hanging from the interceptor on Yunjing's body.
The steel cable pierced Yunjing's body, and the heavy anchor spikes pierced his flesh and blood. Six interceptors were enough to send this big guy from the ground to the clouds.
"Do you think this thing can be hoisted?" The veteran looked at the body of the cloud whale lying in the square and couldn't help smacking his lips. The 40-meter-long cloud whale looked four times the size of the interceptor ship.
The 40-meter-long cloud whale weighed at least 300 tons. If all twelve of their 'Peregrine Falcons' were replaced with the more powerful 'Seagulls', they would definitely be able to handle it.
"The body of the cloud whale has a lot of floating stones. We can awaken the floating stone resonance chamber by inputting energy into its body. The floating stone resonance chamber in the transport state will provide enough buoyancy." Jiang Lu said: "According to calculations, only four floating ships are needed to drag it to the industrial command ship, but six ships were actually assigned to ensure that this thing can be transported back safely and stably."
"From the logistics class, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable." The veteran patted Jiang Lu on the shoulder.
"I'm from the duty class, and I'm from the logistics class." Jiang Lu was satisfied.
"Okay, kid on duty." The veteran said, and then thrust the bayonet on his lance into the body of an enemy who jumped up and wanted to sneak attack them: "Hold your weapon, I've read their scriptures... They are not as easy to get along with as those people in the Holy City."
Some of the troops that landed cleaned up the Crusaders who were not completely dead on the ground, giving these incurable Crusaders a quick death.
The closed live iron net successfully surrounded the square. No matter who wanted to enter the square, they had to face the spiked iron net growing like bushes on the periphery.
The soldiers transferred from the military department took the disposable bunker module dropped by the Peregrine Falcon. The soldiers built a temporary defense position with temporary iron gray tower shields on the outside of each cable hole.
The subhuman soldiers had not received complete bunker erection training. They relied on their flexibility to climb the body of the cloud whale and insert the secondary steel nails of the steel cable into the curved skin of the cloud whale one by one.

"Hu...Hu..."
The leader of the Templar garrison panted and looked at his colleagues hiding in the wreckage of the house. Only half of the Templar support troops he brought survived.
They could withstand the fire of more than ten rounds of crossbow shield attackers for only two minutes. If he had ordered the knights to take up their shields and escape to the building while the airship switched fire, the casualties of his knights would have jumped even more.
Most of the surviving half were injured.
They could still fight, and the Templars could go to the battlefield again.
But facing an enemy that could not be dealt with at all, rushing forward would only waste precious battle time.
The priests nearby tried to attack the airship, and the effect was very good. The light guns were completely dispersed and offset by the sheet metal plates hanging on the outside of the airship... Even the priests were swept into debris by the rain of bullets and his weak shelter.
Every priest who wanted to fight back had such an ending. They were more fortunate than the war wizards of the Magic Empire that Ji Lin had dealt with before. At that time, Ji Lin did not have small-caliber rapid-fire guns.
Now Ji Lin's fleet has been equipped with a large number of 20mm machine guns for dealing with small flying units, and infantry rifles are no longer needed to make up for the lack of firepower.
The garrison leader knew from that time that not only their armor could block the opponent's firepower, but even the strong enough buildings could block the opponent's weapons.
The hands wrapped in steel lifted up a distorted metal block, and the original cylindrical shape of the metal block could still be distinguished under the firelight.
He belonged to the Seventh Special Mixed Brigade of the Vatican Vanguard Army. He had led his Templar Knights to expedition to dozens of worlds, participated in hundreds of large-scale battles, quelled ten rebellions for the Vatican, and let three worlds bathe in the glory of God.
Victory, victory after victory, bringing complete victory to the gods.
All of this was shattered by the metal that fell from the sky. It had no talisman or magic power, just like a copper block that had been crushed by the ground.
But it was this thing that killed all the elite soldiers in the Vanguard Square and shattered the pride that the Vanguard had built by conquering several worlds.
The leader didn't know how many Crusaders were still alive in the square. In the past ten minutes, the casualties of the soldiers might have exceeded two thousand.
He saw the flaming mud pillars rising in the distance, and the burning houses in the distance. He saw monsters in the clouds, casting death and destruction on the ground.
Is this the real monster that this world breeds?
It must be a holy warrior to deal with these monsters.
The shield in the distance was getting thinner and thinner.
