"attack--!"
Like a curtain being torn apart in the sky, the shouts of killing from all directions of the fallen land were raised again somewhere on the ridge of the Holy Mountain on February 9, 796 in the New Calendar. Countless black spots lurking near here followed at some unknown time. With the remnants of the fallen floating island as the center, their respective attacks covered the field of vision of everyone present: "It's an enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, prepare for defense!"
"Adamu, go to the left! Shrey takes the people to the right! The rest of the team rush to the top of the mountain for me - where is the reconnaissance team? Report the situation!"
"The reconnaissance team still...has no signal yet! Damn it, where did they approach from?"
"——"
It was too late to think about the meaning of the illusory scene that just appeared in front of him. Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned and grabbed his weapon in his hand. He wanted to take steps again, followed by a muffled sound. The roar suddenly stopped, and along with it, the violent hurricane stirred up large pieces of metal debris and rock fragments in the air: "Shock the ground! Drink!"
"Grandpa, I knew you were coming! I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
"Don't go too deep into Asahi Dongsheng! Holding the position is the first priority!"
"I know, I know, but -"
Running out of the corner where he was hiding, Xue Ling Huan Bing reflected the figures of the two players waiting high in front of the ridge into his field of vision. At this time, the player named Asahi Dongsheng was also raising his hand. The ferocious long knife was pulled back behind a bunker made of scrap metal by Gedman behind him: "They have long-range attacks. If they continue to wander, they will be beaten into sieves."
The dull and crisp sound of gunfire then echoed above the piece of scrap metal, and the collisions with the scrap metal became more and more frequent amid the continuous crackling and clanging sounds, and the strafing like suppressed fire followed. Appearing over the ridge guarded by Asahi Dongsheng and Goldman, he brought an attack method that was completely inconsistent with this world in front of everyone: "——Holy crap! Is that Gatling in front of us? ?”
"Although I have seen this thing before in the Free Continent, I never thought I would see it again in this place."
Hidden behind his large shield, Gedman gritted his teeth and looked towards the right rear side where he was: "And it seems that they are all manned, and they are about to surround us now."
"What are you afraid of? This is not the real world where one shot can kill us." Asahi Dongsheng waved his hand nonchalantly, and then stood up with a swaggering look: "I can The existence that uses sword energy and sword energy is like a superman in the real world! Those bullets they worked so hard to make may not even be able to break through my defense——"
"Come back here!"
What answered him was Gedman's impatient expression and his hand to pull him back from the probe position, but the shield warrior's reaction seemed to be a little late, and one of the countless gunshots that echoed in the sky followed. After passing the position where the two of them were, he lifted Asahi Dongsheng's head and his body to the far side of the hillside: "——Ouch, oh, oh! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts—"
"You were shot in the head and you're not dead yet?"
"Half of my life is gone even though I'm not dead, right? Look at my health bar! Aren't we on the same team? When have you ever seen me lose so much health at once?"
"Of course it does. It had the same effect when I hit you on the head with an ax during training two days ago... get out of the way!"
The modern battle not only brought firearms here, but also artillery shells. The violent explosion later covered the position where the two players were originally hiding, and the billowing smoke was also knocked down by the huge giant. The metal scraps dispersed with a bang. Coughing, he climbed up from the ruins mixed with metal and gravel. Gedman, who was the first to struggle, immediately rushed behind the bunker closest to him. The violent sound of gunshots was followed by a straight line. The trajectory passed by his ears, suppressing the source of the attack that just appeared on the hillside: "Get down!"
"——Speaking of it, we are indeed the first to use thermal weapons on this continent." Looking at the figure of Xueling Huanbing who later appeared at the source of the trajectory holding the sniper rifle barrel, he rolled around Goldman couldn't help but sigh: "But the other party's evolution speed seems to be a bit fast."
"The evolution speed of wool! This thing is not a high-end thing. They might have researched it themselves!" Looking up from the same trajectory that Gedman rolled down, Asahi Dongsheng, who also scurried here, yelled. : "These bastards actually hid this thing until now. They either have a conspiracy or a trick! Captain, do you have any other guns? Send them one by one. I want to practice with them. !”
"No." He was too lazy to say any more nonsense to the impulsive man in front of him. Xue Ling Huan Bing, holding the barrel of the gun and shooting non-stop, also followed his probing gaze and turned around: "I asked you to follow If Duan Qing wants it, aren't you unwilling? You also said that 'close combat is a man's romance'... Well."
"By the way, why hasn't that guy come back yet?"
The fluctuations of magic then appeared around the fallen ruins of the floating island. For the first time, an explosion wave was set off in this battlefield where hot weapons attacked each other. Duan Qing, who is the only magic profession on his side, was also there. After the bombardment of the exploding fireball, he appeared on the other side of the ridge, vaguely gesturing towards his companions who were still resisting and hiding among the ruins at their feet: "Hey, am I too late or not?"
"It's timely, but are you the only one?" A shot drove the head that was flashing in the shadow in the distance back to where it was. You continue to play with us, do you really want to fight them back on your own?"
"It's not that I haven't considered such a plan, but it's too tiring." As expected, the trajectory of the bullet crossed the path of the figure waving his arms. Duan Qing, who was holding on to the earth magic shield, inadvertently looked behind him. He glanced at it and said: "So I plan to use more direct and effective means."
"With the help of our allies."
The sound of sparse electric current then appeared on the other side of the ridge behind the gray-robed magician. With his lowering gesture, the horizon appeared one after another, and the floating body representing the mechanical guard was followed by a series of electronic lights. In the flickering scene, the most violent counterattack was launched, scattering energy beams that were brighter than the trajectory of bullets into the enemy camps in both directions.
***************************************
"...These guys run really fast."
The sudden encounter that occurred after the landing ended quickly. The black figures surrounding the ridge in both directions, using firearms and ammunition to carry out long-range strikes, also completely disappeared the moment the mechanical guards appeared. , Xu Yu Liushang, who had previously attacked the frontline position, then reluctantly pouted his lips and dropped the Valkyrie Wings he had just raised along with the sword blade in his hand: "I know I can't beat the machine here. Guard, so you simply retreated?"
"It seems so. After all, they have been hanging out on this mountain for a long time." Jian Beidong, who was following him, put his arms behind his head: "Even if they don't unify the sacred mountain, they should at least be responsible for it." You have to have a deep understanding of what is easy to mess with and what is not to be messed with - Hey, are those mechanical bodies really that difficult to mess with? Why do I look like they are no different from a batch of scrap copper and iron?"
"If all of them have the strength of those mechanical angels flying in the sky, I can trust them a little bit." Carefully observing every trace left by the retreating players in the ruins above, he murmured. He replied without turning his head: "But since Tianfeng believes that they have such value and has established a friendly relationship with them, let's just believe that they are strong enough to overthrow their opponents."
"Hmph, I knew you would say that." Jian Beidong, who lowered his arms, curled his lips disdainfully: "Even if that guy comes back with a piece of useless machinery, I'm afraid you will Support him."
"The key issue now is that our base camp and operational fulcrum have been exposed."
Not paying attention to the half-sarcastic words of the naked swordsman, Wuyu Liushang, who was still sweeping and clearing the battlefield, clapped his hands and stood up from behind the ruined rocks: "We must pull in enough reinforcements to support our foothold here. , otherwise the floating island force will be destroyed in an instant."
"There are local resistance forces in the Holy Mountain. It can probably be regarded as a road specially designed by the game system to support players who come here to find a way out, open mission channels, etc." Jian Beidong also replied nonchalantly. : "But judging from the current situation, the number of guards from this so-called resistance force is really too small."
"Compared to the size of the entire sacred mountain, the number of these guards is indeed too small." Xu Yu Liushang turned and looked down the mountain: "But the reason why 'power' is called 'power' is because they have the ability to control this metal mountain. The scale and means of existence.”
"As indigenous people, they must have information and methods that we don't know about."
Following Xu Liushang's line of sight, several mechanical guards passing by the landing site of the floating island below were carrying their broken bodies to carry the broken machinery in Duan Qing's hands to the broken bricks and tiles, commanding. The gray-robed magician then put away his elemental staff and turned his smiling face in the direction of King Puli VI: "Look, as long as the conditions meet my expectations, these things are still It can come in handy."
"The base you mentioned does contain a huge amount of energy." Facing the large pit that appeared behind Duan Qing and the remains of the huge empty island standing in the center of the pit, Puli VI answered. There was also some unusual fluctuation in the voice: "But - you claim that this is part of this mountain?"
"This is what we declare to the outside world." Duan Qing nodded his head and answered with a bit more pride and confidence: "But I can guarantee that this island and the tower on the island are the same as those of your furnace. The compatibility must be very good.”
"Communication with other mechanical bodies has ended long ago. Our common conclusion is that your 'God Realm' will be difficult to achieve our goals." King Puli VI replied in a calm voice: "The success rate is less than 10%."
"After all, you have to give it a try, otherwise there is no other way." Duan Qing still encouraged his sharp tongue: "I learned a lot of circuit splicing from Kyle II. Skills and energy conversion rate are definitely not a problem, and our actions will definitely arouse the vigilance and worry of your enemies, as the previous attacks prove."
"——You humans, do you have any more ways to improve your success rate?" Puli VI raised his broken mechanical lens: "Where is the powerful mentor you mentioned earlier?"
"She was injured and seriously worn out. She is currently resting in the tower." Pointing to the far side of the leaning tower, the smile on Duan Qing's face gradually faded and disappeared: "We also want her to be with another person. Our companions need to get well as soon as possible, they are our biggest support and support, but... you mechanical life forms shouldn't have any way to quickly recover from their injuries, right?"
"The life repair device was damaged during the long process of decompressing the furnace, and our mechanical body has no need to use these devices." Duan Qing was not surprised at all by Puli VI's answer: "But we can help you provide a certain amount of energy. .”
"That's enough."
Duan Qing nodded happily, and made a few more gestures with the representative of the mechanical guard in front of him. Then, while planning the scheduled actions that must be completed next, he listened to Xue Ling Huan Bing reporting on the temporary encounter. The last message: "...Except for some strong people, most of the grassland tribesmen living on the island were injured to varying degrees. Fortunately, no one was killed, and the strong ones with combat capabilities were not seriously injured. .”
"That means we still have the strength to fight, right." Duan Qing kept gesticulating on the ground with a metal iron rod, and replied intently: "With the addition of the mechanical guard body that I temporarily persuaded, it should be enough. .”
"The trust problem still exists, and the magic firearms used by those guys unscrupulously have also greatly shaken the military morale of the grassland tribesmen." Xueling Huanbing continued to ask in a light voice: "Should we also try to popularize this kind of weapon? Come?"
"I don't have that kind of production efficiency." Duan Qing replied with a low smile: "And there is no need for it. After all, today's battle is probably just a trial. Their manpower and strength should be more than this... Okay."
"Tell me about your situation." After clapping his hands to complete the random painting, Duan Qing turned to raise his head: "The other thing you mentioned before - those inexplicable illusions."
"Tell me what you saw?"
