-----------
Everyone knew the dreadful aspect of such a huge weapon. If someone used it, the whole capital city would be destroyed. They knew in their minds that Elizabeth was the representative of the gods, so only then could they all feel at ease.
Under the protection of the Adeptus Custodes, Elizabeth quickly walked towards the depths of the Royal Tombs Mountains. She was hiding the destructive weapon there.
"Everyone else, do your best to halt the advance of the Fire Giant to give Her Highness time." Cross immediately ordered again.
"Don't fire the Artillery at them instead hit the ground." Listening to the advice of the scientists beside him, Cross spoke again.
The munitions were dissolved as soon as they touched the flames, so by landing on the ground, they could still detonate.
Immediately, all the units of the Astra Militarum changed their targets. Artillery Shell fell on the ground where the Fire Giant was advancing. It blew up a block of debris and dust, and the aftermath of the explosion also swept the surrounding gas.
"It's working." Watching the Fire Giant slow down, everyone's eyes lit up.
It was obvious that in the aftermath of the explosion, the Fire Giant was also affected.
"These flames can't resist the aftermath." A scientist made a preliminary judgment.
"Good, continue attacking like this." Cross also looked slightly uplifted, and then said, "Are there still tunnels under the walls?"
"Yes, there are still tunnels, just below our feet, extending not far ahead," Fleming replied as he was in charge of it.
In the previous battle against the Dark Elves, although the gunpowder in the tunnel was detonated, resulting in almost all the tunnels being blown up, it did not include those closer to the walls.
"What's the situation?" Cross asked.
"Most of it is still intact, but..." Fleming paused for a moment and added, "It's too close to the walls."
Fleming knew what Cross was planning to do, he was trying to attempt to detonate the rest of this tunnel. But these tunnels were too close to the walls, so it was highly likely to destroy the foundations. In addition, if it doesn't work, it would be very dangerous.
"It's okay." Cross raised his eyebrows and said decisively, "Make all preparations, even if we give up this wall, we must delay enough time for Her Highness."
"Yes, sir." Fleming had no doubts.
After all, they all had to make way for the use of the Heavy Gustav.
"General Cross, I have an idea." Ewart, who had been silent, suddenly said at this time.
"What idea?" Cross and the others all looked at him.
"Don't we still have Crimson Lion's Blood?" Ewart said: "You don't need to use gunpowder, just melt a big hole with the Crimson Lion's Blood."
"No." A scientist next to him immediately shook his head and said: "The senses of these giants seem to be very developed so they will not be fooled."
"No, no." Ewart, however, shook his head and said, "I am not trying to set a trap, instead, dissolve a big hole with the Crimson Blood, and then pour in water to stop them from moving forward."
The Crimson Lion's Blood, during Kai's era, was very useful. In the previous Planetary Conquest, Sebastian specially arranged the Crimson Lion planet, so the Astra Militarum killed a lot of Crimson Lions and got a lot of their blood. It's just that because of the presence of gunpowder, they were largely forgotten.
"This method seems... feasible." Cross pondered.
He made a decision and said, "Then General Ewart will be in charge of this matter, bring a team of 1,000 men, and quickly complete this matter."
"Yes, sir." Ewart immediately accepted the order and went away.
The Artillery and Rifle fire from the walls got even more fierce, as they were desperately trying to halt the approach of the Fire Giants.
The Fire Giant also seemed to be floored by the attack, especially the explosions on the ground, it made their feet a little less bearable. After some time, they did not dare to rush over and this gave Ewart plenty of time.
Soon, they just heard a boom.
Less than 200 meters from the walls, the ground suddenly collapsed. Immediately after that, in the dusty atmosphere, a giant crater appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The hole was almost 100 meters long, 50 meters wide and it was more than 20 meters deep. To create such a huge crater, almost all of the Crimson Lion's Blood was used up.
The movement was also detected by the Fire Giant. They were not stupid nor careless, so they did not dare to approach. After they found out that it was the Astra Militarum that was creating a giant pit, they were angry, but it was already too late.
It was such a large and deep hole that even they did not dare to test it, so they could only go along the sides of the hole, but it was narrower on both sides, so only one could travel at a time. In addition, the Shells and Bullets have a much easier time to target.
"It's a pity that it's not even close." Looking at this 100-meter-long pothole, everyone felt some regret.
If it was a little longer, it could cover the entire strip of the wall, then the enemy could only think of ways to get through those holes.
"Fortunately, they can be delayed for a while." A scientist breathed a sigh of relief.
A total of only 2 Fire Giants could pass at a time and under the constant barrage of Shells and Bullets from the Astra Militarum, they were moving forward very slowly. It was like someone kept hitting you in the foot with pebbles, there was no major harm, but it was very uncomfortable. The Fire Giant used their hands to ward off these Shells while moving forward.
At this time, Elizabeth had already arrived in the depths of the Royal Tombs Mountains, the place where the Heavy Gustav was stored.
After taking out the three keys, she opened the heavy doors. Inside, a huge behemoth appeared in front of her eyes.
