Compared to the top of the command tower where the fighting was in full swing at this time, the operators who stayed at the strongholds on the first floor and the high sniper points had much less time to do. In their eyes, they could only see the ruins sprinkled with a faint orange light and the cold wind, and the rest was only the slowly coming fatigue.
The chaos outside had gradually calmed down at this time, but Tallulah still hadn't waited for her reinforcements. The sniper who was bored on the top of the ruins gradually relaxed and turned his attention to the command tower, wanting to see Look at Amiya and Valentin’s awesome performance.
The stronghold attack just now made all the elite operators involved in the mission remember the name "Valentin" and the thunder in him that never disappeared. As a sniper, Muffler had already been lying on his sniper position when these people charged. Naturally, he fully witnessed the wonderful performance of this newcomer Vaifan in that battle.
The mini body is in sharp contrast to the huge De Shuang, but the cute appearance is covered with a layer of bright red blood clothes, and the pair of horns on the top of the head that are always flashing with lightning are covered in black and red. He stands out on the battlefield, and the words "contrast and cuteness" seem to exist just for him.
While Muffler was shooting magic bullets to destroy enemies, he was still joking with Optics, saying that if the little guy didn't already have a girlfriend, he would definitely invite him for a drink after the mission.
Then her ears were blocked by Optics' laughter. The mocking voice instantly angered the bad-tempered Sakaz girl. The gun-shaped staff in her hand vibrated slightly and she was knocked down. Two crossbowmen who luckily escaped Rosemary's attack.
And those unlucky mercenaries did not discover where the fatal magic bullets were fired until they died. They could not hear any other sounds except the clash of weapons and shouts.
This is Muffler's Origin Stone skill, or the special effect of his spell. It can control objects to produce extremely small vibrations. The most direct way to express it is through silence. Her spells had come in handy during the recent raid on the Herald, neutralizing the enemy's screams that would have otherwise put them in trouble when they evacuated.
And Muffler's most famous saying in the Rhode Island Operations Department is...
"This is a staff with a silencer."
At that time, she stood in front of many sniper operators, picked up a portable staff like a tree branch, and stabbed it into a suppressor with her backhand. In the eyes of the onlookers, the Thor Industries logo on the suppressor seemed to be... is crying.
Fortunately there were no Sakota people in the audience, otherwise there would have been a fight.
…
"Optics, how's the situation inside?"
At this time, Muffler was still holding a staff with a silencer on it and disguised as a gun. It looked much simpler than the weapons in the hands of the other two sniper operators. It had no magazine, no bolt, no trigger, just the whole thing. The shape is just a bit similar.
The Source Stone skill release medium at the core of the staff was wrapped in a silencer, which was specially customized for her by Rhodes Island and cost Muffler a lot of money. However, as a senior operator of Rhode Island, she also had the financial resources to own a staff of her own. After all, for a sniper with excellent shooting skills, it is not a problem to always hold an ordinary staff.
She felt uncomfortable fighting with that thing.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
Optics' response came from the earphones, mixed with the sound of clothing rubbing against gravel. It sounded like the sniper was working hard to use his Originium skills to find the shadows of Amiya and Valentine.
Muffler stared at the road in front of the stronghold, waiting for the other party's response.
"ah."
Finally, after a few seconds, a sigh of relief came from the earphones.
"I couldn't find their shadow. The flames blocked my sight."
"What?"
This surprised Muffler.
The code names of Rhode Island operators are very casual. For those operators who don't want to think of code names, they will give them an easy-to-understand name. Just like Muffler, the word means "silencer", which is perfect for this girl who shoots silent bullets with a blunderbuss-shaped wand.
Optics means "optics", and most people can understand the name very well. His Origin Stone skill can twist light, but it cannot "make the sun bow for me" like Lin Guang. However, it can control the angle of light distortion extremely flexibly, so Rhode Island specially developed a scope-shaped sight for him. The staff is mounted on the gun, turning it into a sniper operator.
Maybe Optics needs to turn the muzzle to the direction of the enemy when shooting, but it is not necessary at all when observing the situation. As long as he finds a place with light, even if there is a wall in front of the scope, Optics can see the enemy through the lens, and every hair can be seen clearly! AIPC…
Well.
"I think you all saw that fire dragon."
Optics put the sniper gun on the ground, sat up and patted the bunny hat on his head, staring at the fiery red sky above the command tower.
The flames reflected in his light gray eyes, as if another fire dragon appeared. Under that chaotic sky, the spirit behind Tallulah appeared more than once and was scattered more than once.
He was shocked by the power erupting from the sharp and narrow blood line, and was also surprised by the roar of the azure flying dragon. While watching this blockbuster-like scene, the stone weighing on Optics's heart became heavier and heavier.
How are Amiya and the others doing now? Is Tallulah really that difficult to defeat? Is the silence outside the core tower breeding a new storm at this time?
He couldn't explain clearly, he just felt that something bad was coming.
"Hey, I don't have the convenient Source Stone skills you have."
Muffler's voice was a bit dissatisfied.
"In front of me there is only the road extending from the main entrance of the command tower. There is not even a ghost on it now, only stones."
After the stronghold attack, they changed their sniper positions. Muffler and Hat were responsible for the main road and the back door respectively. Optics was responsible for observing the blind spots that the former could not see due to the particularity of the Origin Stone skills. Among the three, only Muffler could not see the command tower. Fireworks above.
"What do you expect me to see?"
"Okay, I can tell you what I saw..."
Optics expressed helplessness about this. He lay on the ground and pointed the muzzle in the direction of the main entrance, but what he saw in the scope was the ruins around the command tower.
"When I wanted to use my Origin Stone skills to see the scene at the top, a large amount of dazzling orange light almost blinded my pupils."
Recalling the bright lights he had just seen, he still felt frightened.
If you are blind, you will be useless, and you will not be able to use your Origin Stone skills.
"I quickly used my Origin Stone skills to adapt to those lights. Just when I was thinking about what I could see, another burst of blue light almost blinded me."
He was talking about Valentine's "Dragon Coming".
The name is cool, and the spirit behind it is also very powerful. However, the special effects are too light-polluted. The colors with Tallulah are sometimes red and sometimes blue, and are interspersed with the blood lines drawn by Chen and Amiya. It is too torturous for the eyes. .
"Pfft."
Muffler couldn't help but laugh.
A silvery laughter reached Optics' ears, but he only felt that this woman was a little annoying. The relationship between the two is very good, and it is the kind of "bad friends". Their daily interactions are sarcastic and ridiculing each other, but they will become very reliable when they really get to know each other.
He suppressed the urge to spit out the fragrance and continued to describe what he saw.
"After the blue light disappeared, all that was left in my eyes was a flame that was even more powerful than before. The beating heat disrupted the trajectory of the light, and I could not accurately grasp the light refracted from inside, so in addition to the fire wall, Can't see anything."
"Oh, that's really..."
Muffler was about to taunt after hearing Optics' explanation, but the sudden appearance of a figure in her field of vision made the careless girl swallow her words.
"Everyone listen, someone is coming!"
The originally lazy voice seemed to have been poured with a layer of cold water and became tense.
"What?"
This is a public channel that can be heard by the people in the stronghold and the other two snipers. The operators who stayed on the first floor raised their heads and stared at the road in front of them. Their sight seemed to penetrate the flying yellow sand and saw the enemy still far away.
"Who is it? Integrated movement?"
Fast frowned and asked the sniper, hiding his body behind the bunker, leaving only his head facing the empty road. The long battle had made his physical condition a bit bad, and there were not many inhibitors in Raphael's backpack. At this moment, they could no longer use the Origin Stone skills as they did when they first entered the core city.
Unless the operators at the top of the tower have completed their mission, the magical medical operator Valentine can arrive to support their backs.
He wanted to use his high speed to see who the enemy was, but the slight pain in his body stopped him from thinking about it.
"No, it's not an integrated movement..."
Muffler stared at the enemy with wide eyes, beads of sweat on his forehead, without blinking at all.
He is a Sarkazi, with black horns and red lines on them. The appearance in Rhode Island can be said to be at the upper-middle level. Although it is not as good as the shining appearance of Shining Nightingale, it still has its own characteristics. If it weren't for this cheerful personality, I would have found a boyfriend long ago. .
No one in this world is ugly, even the ancestors who have experienced atavism still have their charm.
But what about the enemy appearing in his eyes at this moment? What about your own people?
These Sakaz mercenaries...
Are they really from the world of Terra?
The skin on their bodies is no longer smooth or rough, it should be called dry. If it weren't for the horns on their heads, Muffler wouldn't even be able to recognize their race. Countless large and small black Originium crystals grew on their bodies, as if growing out of their bodies. They looked extremely oozing, making her scalp feel numb, as if these disgusting things were growing on her body as well. .
The clothes on these people were in tatters and looked like they were dug out of a garbage dump, or they had gone through unimaginable hardships so that the fabrics were stained with a dull red and stuck to their bodies. The source stone crystal also preserved their last moral line as living creatures.
No matter how you look at them, these people will only remind Muffler of the herds controlled by Mephistopheles. She did not participate in the clearing activities of Longmen, but she still learned some of the characteristics of this creature from the conversations of other operators, just like what these Sakaz mercenaries showed at this time.
If it was really a herd, it would be easier to deal with. At least according to the words of other operators, they are easy to deal with. They are just a group of irrational corpses.
but……
The steps of these people are not frivolous, they are vigorous and vigorous, their eyes are staring straight ahead, and the weapons in their hands are not shaking. They do not look like a herd without the ability to think, but more like Sakaz with the characteristics of a herd. Mercenaries.
Moreover, they were wrapped in a faint red mist, which looked very much like the marching state of patriots. It reminded her of the time when she was shocked by the red light on the old soldier not long ago, and her head ached.
"The enemy...are Sakaz mercenaries, twelve of them."
Muffler thought about it for a while and gave up on the idea of "they are a herd".
"12 mercenaries?"
This made Fast a little confused, and his originally tense nerves relaxed. For him, although the Sakaz mercenaries are more difficult to deal with than the Integration Movement, they are not much more powerful. Relying on this temporary stronghold, they can definitely compete with an entire mercenary team.
Not to mention that there are only twelve enemies. He and Silent can walk half of them away, leaving the remaining half to other operators. It’s a piece of cake, right?
They may not even be able to walk over, Muffler and Optics can name all these mercenaries.
Are these Tallulah's reinforcements?
The price of arrogance is life! Do these people think Rhode Island is a fool?
"Muffler, can you snipe a few of them, and I'll surprise these guys after they hide."
Fast twisted his neck and relaxed his body. There was a crackling sound in his body, just like the fighting spirit in his heart at this moment.
Ha, this may be a rare pastime.
"I...let's give it a try."
But the Muffler who responded to him was a little hesitant, completely different from her usual speaking style.
The muzzle of the gun rotated, and Muffler looked through the scope at the head of a Sakaz mercenary. She could clearly see the black Originium crystal protruding from the top of her target's head, as well as those extremely strange eyes in the faint blood mist.
Even though he was still walking forward without looking at her, Muffler still felt that he had been discovered, and the next attack would probably be ineffective.
I hope they won't be as invincible as the herd...
Muffler prayed silently in his heart while clasping his index fingers.
There was no sound, only the whistling of the wind lingering in everyone's ears. A light like a firefly flashed high on a certain ruins, and then a Sakaz mercenary had part of his head ripped off.
The slender magic arrow hit his head, completing the mission of his existence.
but……
There was no blood splattering and no wailing. The Sakaz mercenary just paused and stood there and slowly moved his eyes in the direction of the spell. There were no wounds on the top of his head, which was quickly covered with black Originium crystals. Apart from looking a little scary, it seemed to be no different from usual.
But the flying bone landed at his feet, and Muffler could see it clearly.
Some Sakaz mercenaries stopped, but some were still walking forward, as if they didn't see the attack on their companions at all. This was the same as the reaction of the herd, but the look in the eyes of the Sakaz mercenary who was hit made Muffler feel fear again.
This made her scalp tingle.
"My attacks have no effect, these Sakaz mercenaries..."
But there was no time for them to be afraid on the battlefield. Muffler adjusted his mentality instantly and wanted to attack again while reporting the situation. But just as she was about to shoot the magic arrow, what she saw in the scope made the girl raise her head.
The enemy she had just hit suddenly smiled in her direction.
This made Muffler feel bad.
The moment she raised her head, a strange sound penetrated her ears.
This sounds like...
Muffler's heart suddenly tightened, he grabbed his weapon and turned around to run away, completely ignoring the backpack beside him. And just as she left the window, a stone the size of a human smashed the entire wall.
This was the work of the Sakaz mercenaries. They locked onto the sniper girl's position the moment Muffler fired the spell.
The violent sound attracted everyone's attention. Optics frowned and activated his Origin Stone skills to scan the scene on the road.
It didn't matter at first glance, but it scared this big man quite a bit.
"You call these guys Sarkaz mercenaries??!"
He quickly stood up and ran to another sniper point, hoping to aim his gun at these monsters in the shortest possible time.
"Are there any Sarkaz mercenaries like the Herd?!"
"Then what else can I call them? A herd?!"
Muffler held the staff in his arms and walked through the ruins, gritting his teeth.
"The herd has no brains!!"
This sentence hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
"A wise herd?"
Fast asked, his tone urgent.
The herd is easy to deal with, and so are the Sarkaz mercenaries. But when the two are combined without losing any ability, it becomes troublesome.
This is another version of Valentine, the guy who can't be killed.
"right!"
Muffler only replied with one word, and the rest was only the sound of footsteps echoing in the communication channel.
Be concise and to the point.
Fast slowly lowered his arms and looked at the figures gradually emerging on the road not far away, his face as dark as water.
The truly terrible enemy has arrived.
