Chapter 1 Carni City

Carni City.

Here, a crucial strategic point in the eastern part of the human defense line, near the sea, is one of the seventeen main cities of the human defense line, garrisoned by the EU's ace legion.

Late at night, Carni City was shrouded in darkness, with only the searchlights on the city walls constantly rotating, watching the surroundings warily like the eyes of some giant beast.

"Huff... it's so quiet!" On the city wall, two soldiers leaned against the sentry post, chatting casually: "I hope this tranquility can continue forever, and never be broken."

The soldier looked into the distance with a sigh of helplessness: "Damn ancient civilization, because of them, I haven't seen my family for a long time."

"If only they died under the sea today..."

"Seriously, today's mental connection was really great, that feeling of being so powerful and unmatched made me feel like I had almost transformed into a god!"

"Haha, this can be regarded as our human trump card!"

"I'm really looking forward to experiencing that invincible power again if the apostle attacks again! Maybe we can really take down an apostle!"

The two soldiers chatted and laughed, marveling at everything that had happened today.

And just as they were talking in hushed tones, ripples suddenly appeared on the distant dark and calm horizon.

The ripples continued to spread, approaching the coastline.

The deep seawater blocked all satellite detection signals, and under the cover of darkness, the soldiers on the city wall did not notice the abnormality on the sea.

Beneath the seawater, the ripples grew larger and larger. At the same time, a shadow darker than the night was slowly moving under the sea, heading towards the city wall.

Dong!

Suddenly, the entire Carni City trembled violently. The two soldiers on the city wall lost their balance and staggered to the ground.

"What happened? Is it an earthquake?" The soldier stood up muttering in a low voice.

Immediately afterward, violent tremors came one after another!

It was as if Carni City was being attacked by a violent tsunami!

"What's happening?" the soldier shouted in terror. He stood on the city wall, completely unaware, while the city wall beneath his feet was shaking violently, as if it would collapse in the next second.

At this moment, an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the command building in the city center.

"Detecting the city being subjected to violent impact! Detecting the city being subjected to violent impact!"

"Confirming the impact location! Impact location confirmed! Located on the eastern city wall at coordinates xx..."

As the ear-piercing alarm sounded, the soldiers on the city wall finally reacted. What was causing the violent tremors was not an earthquake or tsunami at all, but the entire city wall was being impacted!

They concentrated the searchlight beams according to the coordinate position described in the alarm, and the next moment, all the muscles in their bodies froze.

In the dazzling light of the searchlights, they saw a half-exposed steel giant city had appeared in the sea, at the edge of the city wall!

At this moment, the steel giant city, like an enraged wild beast, was frantically ramming the walls of Carni City, and at the point where it was ramming, a huge, hideous crack had already appeared in the city wall, and with the movements of the steel giant city, the crack continued to spread around!

Rumble!

The foundation of a signal tower on the city wall collapsed, and the entire signal tower crashed down, falling straight into the sea.

"It's... it's a Miracle Building!" The soldiers on the city wall screamed and roared. As a product inseparable from the apostles, humans had long known the appearance of each Miracle Building: "It's the Apostle of the Night!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The Apostle of the Night is attacking Carni City!"

Wuwawa...

The enemy attack alarm sounded, and the entire Carni City instantly entered combat mode. A large number of warplanes took off, several mecha warriors sped from the city center, and the garrison troops rushed to the location where the Miracle Building appeared under the leadership of their officers.

In an instant, countless lights lit up, as if the darkness had been dispelled at this moment.

Boom!

Boom!

The steel giant city's actions of ramming Carni City's walls never stopped, but became even more violent.

The tall city walls, like a mountain, became precarious under the continuous impact of the giant city. The walls made a twisting sound as they buckled under the pressure, and the internal alloy frames were severely deformed, with constant cracking sounds!

"Da da da!"

Warplanes streaked across the sky, madly pouring fire on the steel giant city, but in front of the shell that could withstand nuclear missiles, the attack power of the warplanes was completely insignificant. Even armor-piercing shells only left a dark scorch mark, without even making a dent!

"Why is the Apostle of the Night suddenly attacking?"

"Haven't the apostles tasted the power of our mental connection yet?"

The soldiers on the city wall roared madly.

The giant city was silent and said nothing. No one answered the soldiers' questions. With each impact, large sections of the tall city walls finally collapsed, and seawater surged wildly, pouring into Carni City through the collapsed areas.

"Activate the second city wall defense!" In the command building, the Carni City commander saw this scene through satellite imagery and decisively issued an order.

With his command, a city wall slightly smaller than the outer city wall rose again from the ground in Carni City. This city wall completely enveloped the main fortifications in the city center and effectively prevented the flood from spreading rampantly inside.

The commander's brow twitched wildly. Although the spread of the flood had been temporarily stopped, this was only a delay. If the threat of the giant city was not resolved, it would not be long before the second city wall was breached as well!

...

"Buzz buzz!"

The figures of mecha warriors appeared on the city wall. They opened their arms and launched blue electromagnetic railguns at the giant city. Its firepower was much stronger than that of fighter jets, but it was difficult to break through the giant city's defense for a while.

The giant city rammed the city wall continuously for seven or eight minutes, until it had smashed a large section of the city wall before slowly stopping.

Just when everyone thought that the giant city's offensive had come to an end, something even more terrifying happened.

A large number of Followers emerged from the giant city. They charged and rampaged, entering Carni City through the collapsed sections of the city wall and launching a merciless massacre of the soldiers in the city!

If the soldiers' mood before was uneasy, then now it was fear!

If the giant city was only ramming the city wall, then it was possible that the Apostle of the Night was dissatisfied with being mentally expelled today, so it took the opportunity to retaliate.

And if the giant city was only ramming the city wall, although it would cause damage to the city, the defending soldiers would not suffer too many casualties. Even if seawater was poured into the city center, there would still not be too many casualties.

Because most of the soldiers have slowly transformed into First Order Evolvers, few soldiers would die from natural disasters anymore.

But when the Followers appeared, it was different!

That meant that the other party wanted to start a massacre, wanted to wash the city in blood, and would not rest until one side was dead!

Those Followers were all bloodthirsty demons, each of whom could cause huge casualties to the legions, and at this time, the number of Followers pouring into Carni City was at least over a thousand.

This was enough to easily slaughter a city!

"Defend! Defend!"

The soldiers shouted and launched an attack on the Followers. The mecha warriors were the first to meet them. They wielded the giant spears in their hands like a whirlwind, and at the first moment of contact with the Followers, they knocked several enemies flying!

But there were simply too many Followers. The number of mecha warriors was at least dozens of times smaller than them.

Even if the mecha warriors could fight ten against one, they would definitely not be able to stop such a large-scale invasion!

Soon, the Followers broke in through positions that the mecha warriors could not defend, and they stared with scarlet eyes, slaughtering wantonly in the city.

The Apostle of the Night's Followers were bulky, most of them were [Rock Turtles] of the same race as it, but there were also some creatures of other races that the Apostle of the Night had gathered, such as some apes and giant wolves.

The former were huge, with amazing defenses, walking in the city like tanks, easily smashing through the defensive lines formed by the soldiers.

And the latter were extremely fast. They moved through the city like the most ruthless grim reapers. Before the soldiers could see what they looked like, they had already been torn to pieces!

Rumbling...

A tank squadron rolled over the ground from a distance, and a dozen cannons fired at the same time, and smoke filled the sky.

The violent explosion of fire instantly engulfed a Follower.

However, the next second, a huge figure rushed out of the flames and crashed into the tank squadron. With the sound of metal collapsing, the Rock Turtle Follower actually smashed more than a dozen tanks to pieces.

Two soldiers staggered out of the tanks, but before they could show half of their bodies, they were trampled into minced meat along with the tank wreckage by the Follower.

Blood mixed with seawater, and screams echoed in the sky above Carni City.

Boom!

A mecha warrior had just used its giant spear to knock away a Follower, but before it could turn around, it was attacked from the left.

A giant turtle Follower slammed into its left leg, and with an extremely explosive force penetrating the mecha warrior's body, the sound of metal shattering immediately came from inside its body!

This was a God Descent type Follower, and its ability was to ignore defensive heavy blows.

The mecha warrior's body began to crack, its electronic eyes slowly lost their light, and at the same time, the energy indicator light on its chest soared to the extreme. The next second, its body exploded.

The terrifying energy burst out in all directions, directly tearing the Follower's body to pieces!
