Chapter 147: Iron Torrent!
Countless spots of light are arranged in an orderly manner on the boundless sea formed by crystals. The blue light is the only thing that can penetrate the darkness here.
At first glance, the uneven dim lights looked like clusters of seaweed, swaying constantly as the wild beasts in them ate. It looked very dreamy... but it also hid terrible danger.
It's not uncommon to see a dark shadow dash in from a beam of light within moments of its onset, followed by the light fading away in an instant, leaving only the sound of chewing in the darkness. Wild beasts feed on light, but some have a diet that's more than just light.
The darkness here is like the water in the deep sea. It looks calm and deep, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging, hiding hungry wild beasts.
With the arrival of the soldiers from the Second Company, the apparent tranquility of the Dark Crystal Sea was broken.
All kinds of strange cries came from all directions, and the sound of giant creatures rubbing against each other could be heard from time to time. Such a huge piece of light, no matter which wild beast it was, would want to rush in to feast on it and enjoy it.
However, what greeted them was a group of black shadows carrying white smoke.
call out!
boom!
Firelight rang out in the depths of darkness. Before these wild beasts hiding in the dark could reveal their intentions with their cries, the silence of the dim crystal sea was violently broken by another force!
boom!
The flames could not reach more than four meters here, but as the shells exploded, the wild beasts responded by exerting their strength, which was absorbed by the dim light crystals. Suddenly, clusters of blue light rose above the crystal sea, illuminating a large area and revealing the flames.
Squeak!!
A ball of limbs kept rolling around. In that instant, it was hit by at least four shells. If it hadn't been in a slightly off-center position and if this round of shells hadn't been a blind shot, it would have probably been reduced to ashes!
Pain spread all over its body in an instant, making it unable to help but squeak and scream. It rolled up its limbs and wanted to leave here, but it was too late. The light exposed its position. The next second, more shells came overwhelmingly. Fire and thick smoke filled the light cluster in an instant, dyeing it a mixture of red and black.
"Confirmed to be cleared." Fang Pei did not let go of Lei Tie's roar.
"Maintain suppressive fire."
"yes."
boom!
The other teams also performed their duties and maintained fire suppression together with the generals. Beside them, several armed military vehicles were lined up in a row, and circles of light spread along the crystalline sea surface, and countless swarms of bullets danced in the air.
The intense flames of the explosion connected together in the darkness, forming a wall. From time to time, spots of light lit up on the ground near the explosion wall. Almost every time they lit up, it indicated that a wild beast had lost its life.
Those cruel screams in the darkness turned into cries of pain and screams at some point, but the difference was not significant because the explosions were too shocking and filled the entire battlefield. No one's ears could tolerate a second sound.
After a few seconds, all the warriors had entered the Nightmare Border and opened their Soul Cards.
At this time, a voice came from Fang Pei's earphone: "Start advancing."
Buzz!
Electric arcs flashed, and a row of electronic buffer barriers rose in front of everyone. As soon as they appeared, ripples flashed on the barriers like heavy rain falling into a lake.
That's the trajectory left by the shell as it passed through the electronic buffer barrier!
I don’t know how many barriers are connected together to form another high wall behind the explosion wall!
At this time, all the armed military vehicles started at the same time, automatically arranged into formations while driving, and continued to accelerate.
Even at high speeds, the tanks coordinated with each other perfectly. They provided support, provided cover, and rotated positions in an orderly fashion, maintaining a 200-meter suppression fire net.
Even if a few fish occasionally slipped through the net and rushed in, they would only stop in front of the seamless electronic buffer barrier and then be shot by the soldiers who were always on guard with patrol falcons.
On the roof, several soldiers held Penetrating Stars, monitoring the battlefield through scopes. Although the Penetrating Star's long-range effectiveness wasn't great within the Dire's borders, their firepower was currently severely overwhelmed, so placing a few snipers on the roof was a reasonable option.
At this time.
call out!
Several black spears shot out from the darkness. When they passed through the fire network, a large amount of kinetic energy was consumed by the explosion. By the time they hit the barrier, they no longer posed any threat.
However, this attack exposed their position.
Above the dim crystal sea, if you want to use your abilities, it will definitely cause the crystal sea to glow!
In an instant, more than ten killing stars immediately found them, and a burst of gunfire pierced through the battlefield in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, those spear-throwing beasts exploded into a ball of black blood mist on the spot!
The worst of them all took five sniper rounds, though theoretically, only the first one caused any damage...
There is no way. There are actually not many targets that need to be dealt with remotely by sniper rifles. The wild beasts in the Nightmare Border are either huge in size or numerous, which are not suitable for sniper rifles. These snipers have been lying on the roof of the car for a while and are now a little bored. Now they finally see the target that needs them to attack, and they will definitely attack immediately.
Seeing the wild beast suddenly disappear through the sight, Gong Zhen's mouth curled up.
You like to aim, right? Sorry, I can shoot farther and faster than you!
In yesterday's project, he was responsible for dealing with these old six. At that time, although he had the help of the skeleton mechanical dog, it still took a little time.
In fact, if Fang Pei had not been cautious and did not want to use a buffer barrier to block the black spear, they could have killed him with a sniper rifle from a distance yesterday.
As for why they are using this strategy now... Firstly, it is too dangerous for a single soldier to act stealthily in the crystal sea, and secondly, they later saw the performance of the Youdu Town Monument Realm, and found that the black spear's ability to restrain shields is not as strong as they imagined.
It was simply because the imperial capital's defense was too low that it could be pierced by a spear.
But it's not a big problem.
Gong Zhen licked his lips and continued looking for his next target.
The feeling of shooting something from a very long distance is so cool!
The range of that kind of spear-throwing beast is only about 700 meters, less than half of the Killing Star. They have no way to resist this terrifying suppressing force.
To be honest, he is actually a shooting enthusiast, but the guns he played with in the club seem insignificant compared to this star-killing gun.
Whether it's power, range or feel, there's no comparison.
Ordinary sniper rifles can't even cause penetrating wounds on this kind of wild beast. If it encounters a wild beast with strong recovery ability, this minor injury is the same as nothing. But it's different with the Penetrating Star.
After several strengthening efforts by Master Cang, when facing this kind of fragile epic wild beast, it will explode on the spot if it is touched by it!
…
In the hall
Even though the soul card master in charge of the broadcast had turned the volume down very low, the deafening explosion still made everyone's eardrums bulge.
Looking at the explosions and flames that almost filled the entire screen, everyone felt it was magical.
Thanks to the ability of this legendary relay soul card, they can see some things in the darkness in the hall.
So they could clearly see how terrifying the number of wild beasts in the darkness was!
It was simply endless, with twisting limbs crowded together, like another ocean.
It can be seen that these wild beasts wanted to sneak closer at first, but when they found that they could not break through, they exerted all their strength. For a moment, countless spots of light lit up on the ground one after another, but were all annihilated in the violent explosion.
From a distance, it looked as if two pieces of light were colliding in mid-air on the ground, one was unstoppable, and the other was being constantly devoured. In between the two pieces of light, the 200-meter range of Lei Tie's roar was an absolutely dark area!
There were over a hundred warriors in total, and their battlefield deployment was seamless, their formations always tight and orderly. Perhaps it was because the current strength of the wild beasts was not strong enough to affect their formations.
They were like a ferocious beast, charging wildly across the crystal sea!
At first, the team in the hall was watching carefully with the intention of gathering intelligence, but after just a few seconds, this idea completely disappeared.
Given this level of difficulty, most of their teams can't even get past the beginning!
I guess even if I get in, I'll just have one round, so I'd better not think about those brain-consuming things.
However, the terrifying suppressive power of the ancient capital... is a bit too exaggerated.
Everyone thought that in this environment where mental stress is restricted, it is impossible for your Ancient Capital to be so strong. After all, the two epic cards in the deck must be affected in some way.
But they didn't expect that there was an impact, but this impact made the difficulty lower.
The dim light crystals all over the ground made it impossible for the wild beasts hiding in the dark to escape, so the ancient capital's team simply saved the effort of exploring the field of vision and could just output mindlessly!
Yesterday, when they faced those invisible wild beasts and spear-throwing wild beasts, they had to send someone out to deal with them alone. Today... they cleared them out easily. No one even saw how they did it. It took them a long time to observe and realize that it was probably done by those warriors holding spears.
But... aren't you a group of level three or four soul card masters... Facing such an epic tide of wild beasts, you shouldn't be in a very bad state, right? How come you handled it so easily!
Looking at the steel torrent advancing on the crystal sea, everyone was silent, but their hearts were suddenly touched.
No, it looks so cool, I really want to join them.
This kind of firepower coverage is what the army should do!
If they also had this equipment, there would be so much they could do!
In this world, the military's role is to deal with low-level wild beasts and protect the safety of ordinary people. Higher-level wild beasts are beyond the reach of ordinary armies, nor are they needed to handle them. However, battlefield situations are complex and ever-changing, and it's impossible to always follow your plans. In many cases, the military is forced to face stronger opponents.
Many times, even encountering a group of just a few epics is enough to cause heavy casualties to the army.
But if you have this deck... everything will be different!
Dealing with epic-level enemies is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, and even legendary-level enemies can be delayed for a while, which completely raises the combat effectiveness of the army to a higher level!
Although it still cannot truly affect the legendary level, and it is difficult to even deal with an ordinary legendary level...but that is normal. There are other soul card masters to deal with the legendary level.
For a moment, everyone was already silently thinking about possible tactics for the future.
In their view, it is a foregone conclusion that this deck will be promoted throughout the army.
Towards the Imperial Capital
Hu Chen sat on the chair with lifeless eyes. This time, even he couldn't say anything.
Advantage range? What advantage range?
Where is the advantage range of the Light and Shadow Sacrifice Deck?
At this moment, no matter how much Hu Chen didn't want to admit it, he knew that they had nothing to do with the first place in this major military overhaul.
After all, in the previous project, he also realized how difficult the wild beasts in the Nightmare Border were. Now seeing this level of beast tide on the broadcast screen, he only needed to deduce it a little in his mind, and he already knew what would happen to their team if they went in.
Putting aside other things, just to reach the level of the ancient capital, many warriors would have to voluntarily self-destruct. No, in the environment of the Phantom Crystal Sea, they might not even be able to reach the level of the ancient capital.
And now, the casualty rate in the ancient capital is still zero...
He was so naive to think that as more and more people joined the battle, their deck's advantage would gradually come. Now it seems that the other party's Ancient Capital deck can better reflect the advantage of numbers.
When they were outnumbered, they still needed to use some skills to face the epic level, but now... they didn't need to. They just fired their shells head-on to clear the way, and the firepower was even overflowing. Hu Chen clearly saw that many soldiers on the carriages were doing nothing and were just slacking off...
even.
Looking at the ancient capital's frantic bombardment, he was a little tempted and wanted to try the power of the mechanical system.
Hu Chen quickly shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind.
No, we can't surrender to the enemy!
What Hu Chen didn't see was.
Behind him, He Qi and others who were also watching the broadcast had their eyes shining.
Wow, this is much better than the light and shadow sacrificing the bull... and there are no side effects!
After returning from the game yesterday, they had severe headaches, which didn't get better until almost evening. Such serious side effects were still not as good as Gudu. To be honest, when they got the news, they were indeed a little depressed and a little dissatisfied. After all, they fainted when Gudu came on the court and didn't see their performance at all.
Now seeing that the ancient capital was so vigorous, the dissatisfaction in their hearts immediately disappeared and turned into anticipation.
Soldiers don't have so many tricks. If they are strong, they are strong. There is nothing wrong with admitting it, especially when their strength is so obvious.
And after this deck is promoted to the entire army, they can also use it!
He Qi no longer thought that the imperial city would win.
Ahem... Of course, they will still finish the competition seriously.
…
"Alas." Wen Yang sighed and patted Hu Chen's shoulder. "The teacher will come tomorrow. Who of us will go and explain to him?"
"..." Hu Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll treat you when we get back."
Wen Yang raised three fingers: "Three meals, I choose the place."
"I...never mind, fine!...Wait, you are not allowed to bring anyone with you!"
Wen Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the teacher then."
…
A room.
squeak--
The door opened and Jiangshan pushed it open and walked in.
"Oh? Old Jiang." Lei Wanqing raised his eyebrows. "Where have you been? Why are you here so late?"
Jiangshan now had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes and looked a little distracted. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.
Lei Wanqing blinked, suddenly feeling a little guilty: "Old Jiang, could it be that the achievements of our ancient capital scared you and kept you awake last night... Blame me, blame me."
Jiangshan rolled his eyes.
Seeing Lei Wanqing sitting in his seat, Jiang Shan was too lazy to compete with him. He pulled a chair from the side and sat down on it.
"Stop talking nonsense. How could I be scared by you?" Jiang Shan yawned. "It was just something that happened last night."
"Ah?" Lei Wanqing's eyes widened. "Could it be that you... Old Jiang, you're already quite old, there's no need to dwell on that kind of thing."
"If you envy me, just say it." Jiang Shan picked up the teacup calmly and took a sip of water. "Okay, stop imagining it. I had something important to do last night."
He went deep into the border of the Nightmare yesterday and ran for who knows how far before he finally found a high-level legendary.
Although soul card masters are much stronger than wild beasts at the same level, this time he wanted to capture it alive, so he had to restrain his strength everywhere. This made the difficulty increase dramatically, and he was busy until the second half of the night before he finally got it done.
Jiangshan glanced at Lei Wanqing secretly, fearing that he would find out something and go back to tell the ancient capital's team, so he changed the subject directly.
"Oh right...Miao Yun." Jiang Shan put down his teacup. "Yesterday when I went out, I ran into that kid Yu Cang. Guess what he was doing."
"Hmm? You want me to guess?" Miao Yun was a little surprised. "Yu Cang is the person in charge. There shouldn't be anything he needs to do right now... But since you want me to guess, it must be related to me."
She thought for a moment, then suddenly her dark complexion shifted slightly, and she said uncertainly, "You're not going to say that Yu Cang is seducing my granddaughter, are you?"
"Puff!" Qiu Zhong spat out all the tea in his mouth.
Lei Wanqing was about to interrupt and ask what happened last night, but seeing this scene, he didn't care anymore and quickly cast a curious look: "Is it true? Is Yu Cang such a promising kid?"
"What and what." Jiang Shan was at a loss for words. "Miao Yun, your granddaughter is indeed there, but it's not Yu Cang who's flirting with her, it's the girl who's flirting with Yu Cang."
"Hmm?" Miao Yun tightened her grip on the armrest, but her face remained expressionless.
Lei Wanqing was very curious. He leaned forward and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Oh, you didn't see it." Jiang Shan said, "That little girl was obviously interested in our Xiao Yu. She was trying hard to get close to her, but Xiao Yu didn't have any such thoughts and kept her distance."
"Hey." Lei Wanqing glared, "Why are you the only one who is younger? Be careful with your words."
"Okay, okay, okay." Jiang Shan nodded.
"Really?" Miao Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression looked a little dangerous.
I only have this one granddaughter, and she can't be taken away by outsiders so easily.
What's more, Miaodu has its own rules.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhong quickly pushed Jiang Shan and said, "Come on, Old Jiang, stop being so irresponsible. We're just having a normal conversation."
"Okay, I won't tell you." Jiang Shan smiled. "But, this isn't what I want to talk about... Hehe, Miao Yun, you definitely can't imagine what our Xiao Yu did to you."
Lei Wanqing was about to open his mouth to correct him when he was shocked by Jiang Shan's words again: "What the hell? What can you do to Miao Yun?"
Miao Yun's expression, which had just relaxed, became dangerous again, but this time, the object of her expression was Jiang Shan.
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense anymore." Jiang Shan said, "We, Xiao Yu, didn't actually do anything... We just modified your Dimensional Power."
"...I thought it was something else." Miao Yun was speechless.
There's something worth saying about this.
Although the Dimensional Power is an epic card, its attribute is a rare empty attribute, so it is not easy to draw. However, if it only requires a few changes, a card maker of Yu Cang's level should be able to do it.
However, Yu Cang did not resonate with this, so it must have been changed badly. It is likely that after a few changes, it directly became rare quality, or even ordinary quality.
"Tell me, what did he change?" Miao Yun calmed down again.
"Xiao Yu upgraded your soul card. Now, when the duel shield explodes, it will directly form a different space and teleport the target into it to protect his safety."
"Is that so? After all, he is just a... wait, what did you say?" Miao Yun's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"I just upgraded you." Jiang Shan spread his hands.
"Impossible." Miao Yun blurted out, but then seemed to feel that it was a bit arbitrary. He turned his head and looked at Lei Wanqing, "This Yu Cang, does he have a resonance with the void attribute?"
"That... I don't know." Lei Wanqing scratched his head. "However, he has quite a few resonances. Currently, we know about light, darkness, wood, thunder... Anyway, there are quite a few."
"Wait a moment." Qiu Zhong held Lei Wanqing back, "Are you sure about the resonance attribute you mentioned?"
What a joke, and it’s “already known”. Do you think the resonance attribute is as cheap as cabbage and can be wholesaled?
"I'm not kidding." Lei Wanqing said with an innocent expression, "Yu Cang has a lot of resonance. If you don't believe me, just go and check... As for why there are so many resonances... you can guess."
Um?
Hearing this, everyone present looked serious.
It is generally impossible for people to have resonance in more than two attributes. This is determined by nature and cannot be changed.
There is only one possibility for Yu Cang's situation... a new resonance method!
hiss……
For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
More than a thousand years have passed. Is a new method of resonance about to emerge?
Lei Wanqing smiled and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I didn't say anything."
"...I understand." Jiang Shan took a deep breath.
There are many geniuses who accidentally come up with new resonance methods, but are unable to summarize them due to various factors such as lack of knowledge.
However, since he discovered it, it is only a matter of time before he takes it out.
On the side, Miao Yun was silent.
Hmm... I heard that Miao Xue is quite interested in me?
Yes, young people should move around more and keep in touch with each other.
Hmm? Miaodu's rules?
It doesn’t matter. The village is almost gone, so why bother about the rules?
