Chapter 709 07.708: “Reinforcements are coming”

The Pureblood Heart mecha was alertly watching its surroundings. Through the peripheral detection device, the Baroness vaguely felt that the enemy did exist, but she just couldn’t detect its exact location.

Sometimes she could hear the sounds of machinery colliding and fighting, but every time she went forward she could not find any trace of it.

“Lord Cochrane, can you hear me?” She tried to make contact again, but all she heard from the receiving sound array was a shrill, evil laugh.

Something is wrong! Something is very wrong.

The Baroness drove the Knight Mech, raised the cannon, pointed it at the source of the sound, and pressed the fire button.

boom! boom! !

Horatio gasped when he heard the sound of a cannon, and then the shell whizzed past, passing over the top of the mecha he was driving and accurately hitting the Fallen Knight who was taller than him.

The explosion created ripples on the ion shield, and one of the bullets successfully landed on the shoulder armor, leaving a black, charred mark.

But the Fallen Knight seemed to know that the Pure-Blood Heart could not see him and did not care at all. His scarlet eyes continued to stare at the mecha where Horatio was, and he swung the Knight’s Chainsword at him.

It was also at the moment when the shell was fired that he observed the ripples of space distortion, and Horatio confirmed one thing, that is, Tzeentch’s evil magic had created a distorted parallel space around him.

In this situation, outsiders cannot see your location at all, unless you have a way to use communication beacons to tell the outside world your current specific coordinates and seek fire support.

But, how can I do it…

Just as Horatio was becoming anxious because of the frequent warnings from his mecha about lack of lubricating oil.

“Captain, Captain.”

The ethereal sound echoed in his ears.

“Mellon!” Horatio was stunned, then excited: “Can you hear me?”

“It’s very blurry, but I can barely hear it. Captain…*****￥%…** (distorted voice)”

“Melon, I can’t hear you.”

“…”

On the Swift Eagle, Melon held up his long staff. The surrounding decks were covered with frost. The temperature had already dropped below freezing point, and the pointer of the hydraulic thermometer quickly dropped to the critical value of -50℃.

There were vague ripples lingering around Melun’s mind, and the detection value in the Forbidden Demon Realm crossed the red line of the quasi-alpha level and drifted towards the alpha line.

The officers on the bridge looked anxiously at the red alarm and the waste codes on the screen that were produced by the psychic impact. Cold sweat flowed from their temples. They all looked at Lord Captain Collingwood.

This also includes the attention of the military supervisory committee members who stayed on the ship.

A tremendous amount of pressure was placed on the first mate.

According to the regulations, within 15 minutes of approaching the critical value of the warship’s forbidden magic zone, all measures must be taken to prevent the psychic from continuing to break through his own limits. This is a protective measure for naval assets.

“Wait, wait… 14 minutes.” Collingwood looked at the Military Supervisor: “You can have the Storm Loyal Commando stand by outside the Forbidden Demon Realm, but without my direct order, the security forces are not allowed to go in and shoot the Chief Astropath within these 14 minutes!”

“As you wish, Captain.

But I must be frank with you, our duty is to ensure that this ship remains loyal to the Empire.

Your duty is to ensure that this battleship exists in the world. If you cannot do the latter, then I can at least find you a firing squad, Lieutenant. “The military supervisor who stayed on the ship said very seriously, emphasizing the last sentence.

The battleship is in the forbidden magic area.

Melon increased the release of psychic power and stopped the further expansion of psychic power at a delicate critical point.

With the help of the psychic power floating in the air, Melun sensed the dense footsteps coming from outside.

Fleet security forces dressed in black armor advanced rapidly in the corridor. The jet-black reflective armor, coupled with the bright red eyes on their Orm Shield helmets, added a terrifying sense of coldness.

“Captain, can you hear me now?” she asked in her mind’s voice. “Yes, very clearly.” Horatio found that he could finally answer her question with his mind.

“I can sense that you are in danger now, but we don’t have much time left. The fleet security forces have arrived outside the Forbidden Demon Realm. When the time is up, they will rush in and shoot me.

What is happening now is that Imperial reinforcements have arrived at Mandeville Point, both the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy.”

Cold sweat trickled down Horatio’s temples. He had no way of contacting the warship now. Even if he gave the order to terminate the operation through Melon, no one would believe that it was his will.

“Understood, I’m dictating my coordinates now, I need backup.

Whether you can see me or not, you must throw fire support at the coordinates I give you!”

“Okay, leave it to me, Captain,” said Mellon.

Then, she began to slowly reduce the intensity of her psychic energy release.

This process cannot be rushed, otherwise the psychic backlash will devour one’s mind or even more.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the commandos outside the door looked at their functional watches, and the countdown was about to reach the preset assault time.

Rumble.

The stone door suddenly opened slowly, and a young girl stood in the lingering mist.

Dozens of hell guns were aimed at her in an instant, and the laser red dots quickly searched for key parts on her thin body. A dozen red dots trembled slightly on her forehead.

She suppressed the nervousness on her face and recalled the words the captain taught her.

“Please move aside. The person in front of you is the chief astropath of the Swift Eagle. I have important matters arranged by the captain and need to report to the bridge.” The girl said in an ethereal voice.

The stormtroopers of the security force remained unmoved. The captain and his deputy looked at each other, and then a soldier carrying a psychic detector stepped forward and carefully scanned the girl’s entire body with the device.

After confirming that the psychic power of the star talker girl had been reduced to a level acceptable to mortals, the stormtroopers reported to the military supervisor who stayed on the ship. After getting permission, the stormtroopers made way. Melon walked forward with a long staff, and the stormtroopers followed behind her with hell guns, obviously not completely trusting her.

At the ship’s maglev station, they found a separate rail car, emptied it, and allowed the girl to board.

The vehicle went directly underneath the command bridge.

After going through layers of inspection, the girl was finally able to board the elevator leading to the command bridge.

“Miss Mellon, what news have you received?”
–
Ping!
hum!
boom!
At this moment, the inside of the servant mecha was like a burning furnace. Horatio tried his best to fight a life-and-death battle with the fallen knights of Creedence.

Gradually, the Pure-Blood Heart also discovered a clue.

Although the enemy cannot be seen in the fog, all signs indicate that there is something there!

Bang bang bang!
The cannon fired repeatedly in the direction of the loudest noise. Facing the long-range threat from an equally matched opponent, the Fallen Knight had no choice but to deflect the ion shield in that direction to block it.

The Shadow Sword super-heavy tank that arrived at the battlefield saw the Pureblood Heart Knight Mech firing at the fog.

The tank commander, Lieutenant Colonel Walter von Guderian, had a brief exchange of views with the Baroness, and the Shadow Sword slowly stopped maneuvering.

The vehicle-mounted volcano cannon turned slightly, began to accumulate energy, and then shot a beam of blazing light into the thick fog.

The beam of light reached the target directly, and the fog in the range was swept away and evaporated by this terrifying firepower.

Bang! The powerful volcano cannon tore through the curtain of the “parallel world”, and by the time the Fallen One reacted, he was no longer able to deflect his ion shield from the fierce firepower of the Pureblood Heart.

A thick laser beam of several megawatts hit the fallen knight’s shoulder armor directly, piercing through the entire piece of thick gold in an instant, and most of the blasphemous patterns on it were vaporized.

The high-energy jet pierced through the shoulder and flew off into the distance, creating an air wave in mid-air that cleared the surrounding fog.
