Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

All that could be heard was a sizzling sound that made your scalp tingle and your teeth ache.

An elven heavy shieldman roared as he raised his enchanted tower shield, which was shrouded in the magical aura of "Fortitude," "Deflection," and "Guardian" bestowed by a mage.

However, the moment the acid touched the tower shield, the shield, which was strong enough to withstand the battering ram, along with the magical aura on it, melted and vaporized silently, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

The elves, who were struck without shields, wore expressions of extreme terror and emitted horrifying screams.

His body was rapidly dissolved in the dark green light, billowing out foul-smelling black smoke, leaving only a sizzling pool of green liquid in the final moments.

One strike!

With a single strike, nearly a hundred elven heavy infantrymen in the front row, along with their armor, crumbled!

But this is just the beginning.

The corrosive acid did not dissipate after penetrating the first line of defense; instead, it splattered onto the ground and the elven warriors behind it, like concentrated acid being poured out.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

Vast swathes of land were corroded, emitting black smoke, and turned into toxic swamps where it was impossible to stand.

The massive magical shield erected by several elven mages flickered violently upon contact with the acid.

It quickly disintegrated and dissipated, lasting only a few seconds before "cracking" and shattering into countless points of light.

The mages under the protective shield followed in the footsteps of the front-line warriors.

confusion!

Unprecedented chaos!

The newly reinforced defenses were torn open like paper by the Corruptors' first volley, leaving a huge, irreparable gap.

The demon army seized the opportunity to surge in and engaged in fierce combat with the panicked elven warriors.

The situation instantly spiraled out of control!

"No!!!"

Elder Muyu's eyes were bloodshot.

The situation is extremely critical!

......

Inside the portal.

The atmosphere in the temporary command center of the Arctic base was extremely tense.

At this moment, the portal has expanded from the size of a washbasin to a diameter of one meter.

More than a thousand drones have been deployed during this period, and they are still being deployed at a rate of two drones per second.

Everyone witnessed the terrifying scene in the distance through the drone's high-definition infrared camera.

"What...what is this?" Academician Qian Zhenhua adjusted his glasses, his voice hoarse.

Academician Liu Chengen stared intently at the biological structure of the corrosive on the screen, his eyes a mixture of the researcher's fervor and the fear of a normal person.

"Anti-energy... no, it's a biological weapon specifically designed to target a particular energy field!"

"Its attack pattern not only dissolves matter but also annihilates the energy structure of magical shields!"

Zhao Gang's face turned ashen.

Long Zhan remained silent, his brows furrowed.

Watching the elves struggle with their lives to stop the Corruptor's advance, Lin Mo's heart sank to the bottom as the defense line was about to be completely crushed.

He looked at Long Zhan eagerly.

"General Long!"

"This is called a Corruptor. I dealt with this monstrous thing before in Lostia City; our drones..."

"it's useless."

Long Zhan's voice was calm as he interrupted:

"These Corruptors are among the demon race; the 'swarm' can't fly over them."

Long Zhan pointed to the screen.

"They are protected by flying demons and heavily armored units, so any approaching flying objects will be blocked by them."

"Our 'swarm' can't get through."

Lin Mo spoke anxiously,

"Since our drones can't handle it."

"What about the rocket launcher/RPG?"

"Shouldn't we at least offer them support through this teleportation portal?"

Long Zhan seemed to be reminded and immediately shouted an order.

"Stop dropping drones, bring over artillery support units, use 155mm howitzers!"

Long Zhan's voice was like a thunderclap.

Lin Mo: "???"

No, I meant RPGs, you just went straight for artillery shells?

Zhao Gang, Qian Zhenhua, and the others all turned to look at him.

After giving the order, Long Zhan turned to Lin Mo and explained:

"The rocket launcher's range is not long enough, and its power is too weak."

"If the small thing doesn't work, then let's use the big one!"

He turned around and issued a series of incomprehensible orders.

"Aim the cannon at the Corruptors outside the portal!"

"Load anti-armor cluster bombs!"

"Terminal guidance is used!"

The command center fell silent instantly.

Everyone's expression froze, including Lin Mo's.

A multi-episode bomb?

That's a deadly weapon!

Academician Qian Zhenhua was the first to react. He rushed forward, almost knocking his glasses off.

"General Long! No! Absolutely not!"

He pointed at the teleportation portal, which was just over a meter in diameter, his voice trembling.

"This portal is still very fragile!"

"If we bombard it with artillery now, the shockwave from the shells and the power of the muzzle flash... if the portal collapses, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Long Zhan turned around and glanced at him.

"Academician Qian, this is a war, not an experiment."

"The elves' defenses are about to collapse. If they're finished, all our previous efforts will have been in vain!"

He turned his head back to the screen and said coldly:

"If it collapses, I'll take responsibility."

Zhao Gang pulled Qian Zhenhua over,

"I'll listen to General Long."

Soon, a massive 155mm self-propelled howitzer was towed to the portal.

The cannon barrel slowly lowered, its dark muzzle precisely aimed at the faintly glowing portal.

This scene is filled with an absurd and surreal feeling.

The expressions on the faces of the artillerymen in charge of the operation were indescribable.

"Squad leader... this... will this work? We won't blow the door down with one shot, will we?" a young soldier asked in a low voice.

"Enough with the nonsense!" The artillery squad leader's face hardened.

"The general's orders are: even if it's just a tiny hole, you have to shove the shell in! Load it!"

A uniquely shaped shell was pushed into the cannon barrel.

Anti-armor cluster bomb.

The "Death from Above" is specifically designed to deal with tank formations.

"Loading complete!"

"Target identified at 9 kilometers away!"

"Fire!"

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion erupted within the sealed-off base, causing the floor of the entire temporary command center to tremble.

Before everyone's eyes, the cannonball instantly disappeared into the small portal.

……

Terra, the Elf Defense Line.

Elder Muyu's heart sank to the bottom.

The appearance of the Corruptor caused many elves to be affected by the acid, and their screams shattered their will to defend themselves.

The defensive line was breached, and countless demon soldiers poured in, causing elven warriors to fall in droves.

The catapults kept throwing stones, but with such a small number and such a weak effect, they could not effectively stop the Corruptor's attack.

Despair spread like a plague.

"Damn it! Is this the only way?" he thought bitterly.

He was even prepared to burn his own life and cast forbidden spells to buy the remaining soldiers a final chance to evacuate.

Continuing to resist will only result in a one-sided massacre.

"call out--!!!"

Just then, an extremely sharp whistling sound came from the sky behind them.
