Chapter 354 5 Elves and Treants Fortress
The crane engine roared as the robotic arm slowly adjusted its angle.
A ring of silver-gray steel fortresses landed steadily on the lower half of the tree-man's body.
It was a specially designed circular defensive device, made of Zhengjin alloy.
It is 30 meters high and 10 centimeters thick.
The surface is covered with firing ports, pointing out in all directions in a dark, gaping pattern.
Sunlight shines on the metal surface, reflecting a cold luster.
"Lord Tree Man, please hold onto this securing rope!"
The soldier stood on a tree branch, pointing at the thick steel cable and shouting.
The tree-man extends its branches and wraps the steel cable around its trunk.
The branches tighten, and the steel fortress fits tightly against the tree trunk.
Click, click—
The mechanical locking mechanism clicked repeatedly.
The fortress was completely secured.
When the tree-man moves, he stands up, leaving the fortress suspended in mid-air, which does not impede his movement.
When in battle, it takes root, the fortress lands, and instantly becomes a 30-meter-high steel wall.
This design is absolutely brilliant.
On the other side, above the tree's waist.
Several soldiers are attaching weapons to thick tree branches.
It's called installation, but actually it involves having the tree man use tree branches to fix the structure according to mechanical principles, so as to avoid the impact of recoil when firing.
"Howitzers in position!"
The crane carefully lowered a 155mm howitzer.
It looks strange, with a long barrel and only a buffer base and ammunition magazine at the back, removing the useless structures.
The elven warriors immediately stepped forward and secured the cannon to the mounting point.
Click, click, click—
The latch clicked crisply.
The howitzer remained completely still.
Following that, rocket launchers, multi-barrel cannons, anti-aircraft missiles, laser weapons, and demon energy block power supply devices...
Originally, they planned to use small-scale nuclear fusion, but now that they have energy block technology, it has saved the elves a lot of money.
One by one, the weapons were hoisted onto the platform.
The soldiers moved skillfully and cooperated seamlessly.
"The Land Shield 2000 Close-In Weapon System has been installed!"
"Laser weaponry team in position!"
"Ammunition box secured!"
"Power supply system is normal!"
Reports came one after another.
The tree-man is acquiring more and more weapons.
Steel and wood intertwine, technology and nature merge.
The scene was jarring, yet incredibly shocking.
Half an hour later.
"Report! Tree Man Number One is fully armed!"
"Tree Man Number Two, fully armed!"
The soldiers withdrew one after another.
Two tree-like figures, each over a hundred meters tall and nearly a hundred and fifty meters tall, stood there quietly.
His lower body was surrounded by a silver-gray steel fortress.
The window above, left for the elves to shoot at, exudes a chilling killing intent.
Thick steel cables and fixing devices are wrapped around the tree trunk.
Howitzers, rocket launchers, machine guns, missiles, laser weapons...
The weapons were densely packed, pointing in all directions.
The sunlight shone on the tree man.
The metallic luster and the bark texture complement each other.
The tree-man stood up; the metal wall was too high, and its roots moved slowly like spider legs.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Kyle opened his mouth,
"This... By the Holy Light, is this still a treant?"
Thorin's eyes widened, and his beard trembled.
"A mobile fortress! This is what a mobile fortress is all about!"
Warwick patted the cannon in his hand, thinking, "Comparison is the thief of joy."
If we were to fight against the enemy...
He suddenly laughed again, saying that the tree-men moved so slowly that a few shots would be enough to take them down.
Therefore, the orcs' weapon modifications are still stronger!
However, in terms of stable advancement against the demon race, the treants are definitely more powerful.
A well-rounded team, capable of both offense and defense!
Adrian was so excited that his face turned red.
This is their war machine, belonging to the elves!
Their super weapon!
"Great Xia..." His voice trembled.
"They really did it!"
"They turned the tree people into real war fortresses!"
Elder Muyu's eyes were slightly red.
"Our race... has finally acquired power sufficient to rival the demon race."
What is the biggest weakness of elves?
That's quantity!
That is, the population.
Favored by the elven world, they are born with magic and possess great strength.
And it has an extremely long lifespan!
However, the drawback is that each elf can only reproduce once.
At its peak, there were over a billion elves.
However, after nearly two centuries of war, the number of casualties was extremely high, with less than 50 million remaining.
Fifty million will eventually be exhausted in the face of the endless numbers of the demon race.
This is just the total population; many elves don't live in the city, so their actual fighting strength is even lower!
With the War Treant Fortress at this moment, the elves can wipe out the demons on a large scale and reduce population loss.
How could this not excite them?
Rumbling--
A major earthquake occurred.
Tree Man Number One walked past the crowd.
Its thick roots are pulled out of the soil, taking its first steps.
With each step, the ground trembled.
The steel fortress moved with the tree-man, levitating off the ground.
There was no drag on at all.
"this……"
Thorin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He seemed to sense a familiar presence, and suddenly...
"No wonder I could still move while wearing such thick iron armor; it turns out I have weight-reducing runes from us dwarves."
Lin Mo nodded with a smile.
"That's right, it's a special alloy called Zhengjin. It weighs only one-third of traditional steel, yet it's strong and lightweight."
"With your dwarven runes, it's not too much of a burden for the treants."
Thorin stroked his beard, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Of course, the dwarves' rune technology is a treasure passed down for thousands of years."
The tree-man walked to the designated spot, and its roots suddenly plunged into the ground.
The steel fortress then landed.
boom!
A dull thud was heard, and the ground shook.
The fortress was firmly attached to the ground and remained completely still.
At that moment, it was no longer a tree-man.
Instead, it's a 30-meter-high steel fortress!
"Weapon system activated!"
The elven warriors stood on the tree branches, operating swiftly.
hum-
The howitzer barrel slowly rotated, aiming at the distant target area.
Adjust the angle of the rocket launcher.
The multi-barreled machine gun began to warm up.
Anti-aircraft missiles locked onto the sky.
The Land Shield 2000 and lasers rotate, searching for the target.
The sight of all the weapons moving is enough to send chills down your spine.
"Fire!"
Adrian gave the order.
Boom boom boom—!!!
Howitzer salvo.
Flames shot into the sky, and shells roared out.
The target area in the distance was instantly turned into a sea of fire.
shhhhh--
Rocket artillery followed closely behind.
Dozens of rockets streaked across the sky, trailing plumes of flame.
Rumble—!!!
The explosions continued in succession.
The shockwave swept around, creating billowing smoke and dust.
Da da da da—
The multi-barreled machine gun fired wildly.
Bullets rained down, and the air itself trembled.
The ground targets were riddled with bullets, and fragments flew everywhere.
Finally, the Land Shield 2000 close-in weapon system and laser system were activated.
buzzing-
The eleven-barrel rotary cannon rotates at high speed.
They opened fire fiercely on the balloons and drones flying overhead.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—!!!
The barrage of comments was extremely dense.
The simulated target was instantly torn apart and exploded into a fireball.
next second.
ka ka ka-
On the steel fortress, firing windows opened simultaneously.
The dark muzzle of a cannon peered out of the window.
There were nearly a hundred of them, densely packed together, with no blind spots!
His entire body was covered in weapons!
The elves were also displaying their firepower through the firing windows.
At this moment, the tree man is truly impenetrable!
The whole process took less than thirty seconds.
The newly erected target area has been razed to the ground.
The area was charred black, and not a blade of grass could grow there.
The entire room fell silent!
