Chapter 142 Chariots and towers, rampaging!
Three members of the Imperial Capital team were injured, and the others were also very tired. As soon as they came out, they were taken away by the association's doctors.
Thinking back to the performance of the Imperial Capital team just now, everyone in the hall couldn't help but discuss in low voices.
"The Imperial Capital is still impressive," Jin Zhaoshan said with a tut. "Old Bai, this event looks even harder than this morning... Well, let's not even think about competing for first place. What do you think the Ancient Capital will achieve?"
"... Stop saying those depressing things. I actually think we can at least compete for this project." Lao Bai rolled his eyes. "But Gudu... I think, even though Gudu's deck is also amazing, there's a high probability that it won't be able to compete with Didu in this project."
Although Fang Pei's achievement in the morning's event of blasting through the paw of the legendary wild beast with one shot and forcing it to retreat was very visually impactful, but now thinking about it, it was actually not so bad.
After all... that wild beast didn't fight the enemy seriously at that time, right?
Moreover, judging from the fighting style of the Imperial Capital just now, the soldier who was left behind also encountered the legendary beast head-on. Although the final result was a bit tragic, the explosion actually blew off half of the wild beast's calf.
Of course, this was also when the wild beast was not taking it seriously, and this time they clearly saw that after the wild beast was injured, the dark energy around it quickly surged towards the gap in its body, but in the blink of an eye, the wild beast's calf grew out again.
It takes no more than a few seconds for the calf to grow back after being blown off. Although this time is a bit long for a legendary-level creature, you have to know that this wild beast is hundreds of meters in size. Such a huge body can grow back to the same size as before in such a short time, which shows how strong its regenerative ability is.
It can also be seen from here that this wild beast is probably not the type that is good at defense, but it has strong regeneration ability.
After all... none of their teams had seen this wild beast, and they had no idea how powerful it was. Anyway, the two teams that had seen this wild beast were able to cause casualties, so this was the only comparison they could make.
In their opinion, even if the achievements of the ancient capital and the imperial capital are indeed better than theirs, they shouldn't be that much better, right?
If, I mean if, they encountered this heirloom... they could be hurt.
After all, if you think about it carefully, it's impossible for the association to really take out a guy that is impossible to deal with and put it in the armament reform, right?
Therefore, Fang Pei's record of forcing the enemy to retreat alone was weakened a little.
In addition, the rules of this project prohibit advance preparation. Compared with the Imperial Capital, the Mechanical Department of the Ancient Capital is obviously more dependent on advance preparation. So in their view, under unfavorable rules, the Ancient Capital is likely to fail this time.
What's more, they could all see that the individual reactive armor was an epic set. If Fang Pei could use such equipment at level 4, everyone could understand that he had outstanding talent, but if you said that all the soul card masters in a team could use it at level 4... it was unrealistic.
Moreover, the most important point is that the Imperial Capital had a terrible experience this time. All the members fought hard, and more than half of them were killed. Even the captain He Qi was "sick", and three of them fainted after coming out... This made them tend to favor them in their hearts.
"Really?" Jin Zhaoshan blinked. "Now that you mention it, I think..."
"...I suggest you don't think about it." Lao Bai's mouth twitched.
…
Hu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the team successfully passed the level.
"Hmph, I think I'm safe this time." He leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "What? You scared me. I thought that legendary being was so powerful... Now it seems that it was simply because He Qi was inexperienced when he first encountered it. Otherwise, if he had just activated Critical Mass back then, he would have been able to reach Fang Pei's level."
Wen Yang's expression was calm: "If the critical mass had been activated then, Captain He Qi wouldn't have been able to participate in the afternoon project."
"Ah, that's true." Hu Chen smiled. "But it doesn't matter. Without the time to prepare in advance, the ancient capital's mechanical department's combat effectiveness will be much lower. In this project, we will definitely be able to even the score!"
“…Perhaps.”
…
While everyone was whispering, the ancient capital's team had already entered the border of the Nightmare.
This time, the soldiers were fully equipped.
A team of ten people, each equipped with a set of lightning-fast individual reactive armor, lined up in a row, slowly slid out of the space channel, and landed gently on the ground.
Their movements were not fast, and abundant electric light was flowing slowly in the angular mechanical structure. The light was flowing on the visor and scanning everywhere, looking very oppressive.
Swish!
The soldiers on both sides stretched out their hands at the same time, and suddenly, the azure electronic buffer barrier was expanded, covering the entire team.
Outside the venue, everyone's eyes widened slightly when they saw this way of appearance.
Let’s not talk about its strength first, this feeling... is really cool!
Calm, powerful, and full of oppression, who can resist the temptation of this mecha?!
"Tsk." Hu Chen curled his lips. "It's flashy but not practical... What's the point of being so handsome now? When we fight later, it will only make them look even more embarrassed."
In fact, this is also the idea of most people in the hall.
However, they did not express it like Hu Chen did. After all... he is really handsome now!
Moreover, their own decks are not as strong as others, so they are embarrassed to ask for it.
……etc
Someone was stunned and found something wrong.
Everyone in this team is at level 4... Can everyone at level 4 use epic cards?
hiss.
Not only did Gudu achieve strong results this time, but how come the contestants they recruited were also so strong?
…
Squeak! Squeak!
Dense screams were heard from all directions, and countless black shadows came forward and hit the electronic buffer barrier, splashing circles of electric arcs, just like raindrops falling on a lake.
stable.
This was the first impression of the barrier for everyone present.
Although most of these bats are rare or even common, there are a lot of them.
With so many people adding up and continuously attacking, the power cannot be underestimated. Didn’t you see that the light martyrdom barrier in the imperial capital in the last battle could not hold on at all, and its durability dropped rapidly. It could only self-destruct every once in a while to save its life?
But the electronic buffer barrier is different. As long as you have enough soul energy, you can take any attack below the epic level without losing any durability, and it will always be at full value.
The attacks of these bats only look scary, but in fact they can't cause any damage at all. Apart from a few ripples on the electronic buffer barrier, there is no effect at all.
Fang Pei glanced around and was already aware of the threat posed by these wild beasts.
"The bat beast poses no threat. Maintain the original plan and advance quickly—Xiong Yi."
"Yes!" Xiong Yi smiled, raised his hand, and took out a soul card.
Armored ordnance vehicle!
Click, click...
The huge soul card then flipped open at the side, and countless parts flew out of it, constantly assembling and snapping together in front. In the blink of an eye, a huge armored vehicle appeared!
After taking a photo of the scene, Xiong Yi's mental pressure was a little high, but his expression did not change. After sitting in the driver's seat, he wiped his chest -
Buzz!
A deep blue light emanated from his chest, and the electronic energy-absorbing core, the absolute pressure lock, and the visor immediately transformed into shadows and flew out. Then, several green halos shrank from infinity and circled these shadows together.
Synchro Summon: Electric Energy Drain Tower!
Click!
The shadow spread and solidified, and a huge square tower suddenly appeared in the rear compartment of the armored vehicle. It was covered with mysterious patterns and abundant electric light kept flowing in it.
Swish!
Lightning gushed out from the electronic energy tower, and the soul energy stored within was continuously transformed into terrifying arcs of electricity, spreading out in all directions. Wherever it passed, the bats, without exception, were all electrocuted to charcoal.
Seeing the two big guys appear all of a sudden, everyone on the field looked at each other in surprise.
What is this...?
Why are there so many new things in your deck?
Generally speaking, there won't be too many types of soul cards in the decks participating in the Armament Overhaul. After all, there needs to be space left for some general-purpose soul cards.
You have so many new things, it's impossible for all of them to be as strong as your reactive armor... That's unrealistic, and as long as the strength can't keep up with the upper limit, it's equivalent to waste.
And... they just realized that the number of epic soul cards in this mechanical card deck is a bit too much.
The main target group of the armament overhaul is level 3 and level 4 soul card masters. At this level, if you put so many epic cards in their decks... can they make any moves?
Besides, let’s not talk about that for now.
That warrior named Xiong Yi can actually maintain two epic soul cards and a rare field card at the same time?
What kind of superman is this?
Even those level 5 soul card masters who are proficient in using advanced summons can't do it so easily without certain training, right?
Also, what is your starting speed?
Rare Field Cards can be activated just by raising your hand? No prerequisites? What about that epic card? Only one sacrifice? ...Oh no, two... That's outrageous!
Not to mention the individual reactive armor you've been wearing. No one has ever seen how they were summoned. They were summoned one by one, put on, put together, and then boom, it became epic.
Isn't that a bit outrageous?
Just from this performance, everyone felt a little dizzy after doing a little calculation in their heads.
The mental pressure caused by this level of combination...is it really something a fourth-level soul card master can withstand?
You really won’t faint all of a sudden?
"...That's not right." Yun Yan noticed something was wrong. "That soldier removed the visor of the individual reactive armor, so now, this armor is no longer epic... What a flexible soul card, but it's not right. Even if it's so, an epic plus a rare venue, the mental pressure is not something a normal person can bear..."
"Indeed." Zhong Lin looked troubled. "At least I can't hold on."
"Could it be..." Yun Yan fell into thought.
He could tell that the epic card Xiong Yixin had summoned was of a Creature race. This race, like the Mechanical type, was typically characterized by low mental stress.
Is the mental stress of these two races so low?
He only knew that they had low mental stress, but he had not done in-depth research on the mechanical and creative races, and had never thought that mental stress could be so low.
...After I go back, I'll look for some materials related to the mechanical race.
Judging from the situation, after Yu Cang solves the shortcomings of the mechanical department, it is estimated that Yan Country will soon be swept by a mechanical craze... This is a blank field with a large number of undiscovered results. No one has studied it before, but now... is a good time to start researching.
After all, this should be the first appearance of the Mechanical Department, and not many people know about this hidden system.
On the field, many card makers had flickering eyes, obviously holding the same idea.
…
At this time, the direction of Youdu
Jin Zhaoshan and Lao Bai looked at each other.
"Old Bai," Jin Zhaoshan couldn't help but say, "No, I didn't feel anything when they were using individual armored soldiers to kill people before, but now... they're using the Creator Clan's epic cards to kill people. Why does it feel a little weird to me?"
I am specialized in creation, and I cannot kill people randomly. You can kill people randomly with creation. Isn't this a kind of NTR?
"...What can I do?" Old Bai frowned, his face not looking good. "That's not right. The Creator Clan's summoning is a bit more difficult than other races. How could it be so easy for them..."
"Old Bai," Jin Zhaoshan said tentatively, "Is it possible that they have found a way to make it easier for the Creation Clan to summon the higher powers?"
"Impossible." Lao Bai said flatly, "It will become difficult for the Creator Clan to summon the upper level. This is the racial characteristic of this race. As long as he is still summoning the upper level, it is impossible to break this rule!"
"Then, is it possible?" Jin Zhaoshan rubbed his chin, "They didn't use the Higher-Level Summoning?"
"Are you kidding me?" Old Bai laughed. "If it's not a high-level summoning, what else could it be, a normal summoning? Don't tell me you think they invented a new summoning method."
"That's all I'm saying... I don't know much about card making."
Lao Bai rolled his eyes and ignored Jin Zhaoshan, but began to think silently.
So, why is this happening?
…
Not to mention the bustle in the hall, within the Nightmare Border, the battle of Fang Pei's team has reached a fever pitch.
The armed war vehicle rushed forward recklessly, and it was able to move through the complex mountain terrain as if it were flat ground. A soldier stood at the front of the vehicle, holding up an electronic buffer barrier to block all the wild beasts that rushed towards it. Even the force of their impact was absorbed by the barrier. In the flash of lightning, the speed of the war vehicle was not affected at all.
Several other soldiers were scattered in various parts of the carriage. Some stood at the rear of the carriage to guard against attacks from the rear, some hung on the side of the carriage, with palm energy cannons ready to fire at any time, and some were inside the carriage, debugging the wild crystals that would be used later.
Fang Pei was fully armed and stood on top of the electronic energy-absorbing tower. Electric light flowed between the reactive armor and the energy-absorbing tower, as if connecting them into a whole.
As Fang Pei waved his hand, arcs of electricity extended from his palm and were waved continuously by him like a long whip. For a moment, those bat beasts could not get close to him at all.
This is using the energy-absorbing core to release electronic pulses, but in cooperation with Xiong Yi, he can use the power of the energy-absorbing tower to increase the attack quality of this electronic pulse to an epic level.
suddenly.
A large number of squeaking sounds arose in the front, and a soldier immediately discovered something was wrong. He slid to the front of the car using the magnetic field and turned on the phantom crystal.
Suddenly, a ray of light with extremely strong penetrating power radiated out, piercing through the darkness ahead and illuminating the figure of a huge monster not far away.
The familiar mass of limbs, the familiar mouths all over the body.
Seeing this, Fang Pei seemed to smile: "Finally came out... proceed as planned."
"yes!"
A few electronic responses were heard, and the soldier hanging outside the carriage had a thought. Several soul cards flipped open out of thin air, and the huge cannon barrel of Lei Tiehou was summoned out. Then, the [External Chimeric Component] was activated, turning into a gun barrel and connecting to the back of the reactive armor.
Buzz...
The swarm magazine flew back and forth between the ordnance vehicle and the reactive armor, transporting ammunition while also changing the armor's protocol properties at this moment.
Maximum energy output!
Although the energy bombardment is very powerful, it has the limitations of needing to charge and occupy multiple muzzles. In addition, when equipping the string mode, it is necessary to implant an additional ten layers of protocol attributes to increase the range, so there is no way to increase the power to the maximum value.
In contrast, after the Thunder Iron Roar and the individual reactive armor are combined, the protocol attributes of the reactive armor can be enjoyed. In this way, the protocol attributes of the reactive armor can be converted into "energy output improvement" as much as possible... In the case of multiple continuous firing, the power is no less!
"emission!"
call out!
A whistling scream instantly pierced the air, and several black shadows carrying a string of white smoke rushed out of the electronic buffer barrier, creating layers of ripples on it.
After a few days of transformation, the current electronic buffer barrier has added a property that allows attacks to pass through in one direction. In this way, soldiers can output safely behind the buffer barrier without having to wait for the buffer barrier to be cancelled before they can counterattack.
Seeing the decision made by Fang Pei, everyone in the hall couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Wait, so close?!
They clearly saw that facing the giant wild beast, the armored vehicle showed no intention of slowing down and actually rushed forward head-on?!
He even accelerated!
That's not right. Even if your firepower is strong, you can't be so reckless, right?
The same deck uses explosions, and everyone has seen how cautious the Imperial Capital deck was this morning... When manipulating some self-destructive soul cards, they kept the attacks far away, for fear of being affected. Even the Light Sacrifice Barrier was layered, with maximum safety awareness.
Sometimes, in order to avoid the trajectory of the explosion, the imperial capital's team even had to take a big detour.
After all, among the abilities of the soul card, explosion is the effect that is most likely to get out of control. It has a large impact range and cannot distinguish between friend and foe. If you are not careful, you may hurt yourself or even die together.
Just like the situation Fang Pei and the others are in now… They rushed in so fiercely, it was estimated that when the Thunder Iron Roar shells hit and exploded, the ordnance vehicles almost rushed into the core area of the explosion… They had seen how powerful the firepower of the Thunder Iron Roar was this morning. Rushing into the center of the explosion at close range, isn’t this really a case of mutual destruction?
Moreover, you should be able to see how tenacious the vitality of that giant wild beast is. If you fail to kill it in one encounter, or blow it to pieces, doesn't that mean that your chariot will crash head-on into the wild beast?
That would be a car accident!
No, the capital was in a terrible state this morning, but there's no need for you to deliberately use such a heroic fighting style to compare your misery...
As the whistling sound of artillery shells pierced through the battlefield, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Stupid." Hu Chen snorted.
The next second——
boom!
The flames and smoke spread rapidly, and a huge flame exploded in an instant, as if it broke through the limitations of the darkness at this moment and enveloped a large area!
Buzz——
The roar of the engine suddenly intensified. First, several flashes of lightning splashed out in the thick smoke. Then, a tank broke through the fog. A soldier wearing individual reactive armor on the front of the tank raised one hand. The azure shield he held up was rippling continuously but was as steady as a rock, bearing all the damage steadily!
As for the wild beast... it was scattered all over the ground.
Buzz!
The armored vehicle sped past, and the soldiers on it remained alert, without even turning their heads, as if killing the wild beast in an instant and then crossing the explosion area was just a matter of course.
hiss!
For a moment, the sound of people gasping for breath could be heard one after another in the hall.
No, you guys are so relaxed.
Even if we got the information in advance, isn't it a bit too exaggerated to be so relaxed?
Moreover, isn’t the defensive power of that shield a bit too outrageous?
As we all know, shield-type soul cards all have an upper limit on their endurance, but this electronic buffer barrier... has not changed at all from beginning to end. At most, the electric arc on it flashed. Don't you have a durability value for this shield?
During the morning project, everyone was watching how Fang Pei dealt with the wild beasts, and ignored the electronic buffer barrier he threw on the tower. After all, no one attacked the barrier.
But now it seems... the most perverted thing is here!
Lao Bai's eyes widened. "No way... that's not right. Didn't Zhong Lin's attack successfully destroy his shield in the ring that day? This explosion is much more powerful than that. How could he be unscathed?"
Lao Bai's brain was overloaded for a moment.
Of course, he didn't know what an electronic buffer barrier with sufficient soul energy meant.
This means that as long as the attack does not exceed the one-hit line, it can be maintained indefinitely.
That time in the arena... it was purely because of insufficient soul energy, not because Zhong Lin's damage was too high.
Towards the imperial capital.
Hu Chen's expression froze instantly.
No way.
He just said "stupid" with disdain, and it hasn't even been a few seconds and he's already been slapped in the face?
Doesn't this make him look like the stupid one?
Wen Yang glanced at him and sighed imperceptibly.
"Damn it!" Hu Chen slapped the armrest of his chair. "How come they have it so easy?"
Everything is afraid of comparison.
The Imperial Capital team also played with explosives, also had shields, and also chose to charge directly, but their results were disastrous... After one round, they almost lost all their men, and had to rely on one person after another to successfully pass the level. And looking at the Ancient Capital...
You keep accelerating, you never stop!
Is it really that easy?
"No... they definitely won't have it so easy next time." Hu Chen gritted his teeth. "Those wild beasts with long-range attacks have extremely strong penetrating power, specifically designed to counter this kind of shield-type soul card... Hehe, their phantom light crystals can only illuminate within 500 meters. They can't even be detected at this distance. They will definitely suffer here!"
Wen Yang shook his head and didn't respond.
Although I didn't expect Gudu to have any solution, but since they dared to do it... it means there shouldn't be any problem.
"Did you notice?" Wen Yang said, "Originally, there were ten people in the team, but now... it seems that there are only nine people in the car. One of them quietly left the team, and we who were watching didn't even notice when he left!"
"Hmm?" Hu Chen raised his brows and looked around quickly.
Sure enough, one was missing!
Where did it go...
suddenly.
The air around the electronic buffer barrier twisted, and a figure flashing with lightning slowly emerged from the darkness, flying in the air.
Without any warning! Appearing out of nowhere!
"Squad leader, the long-range target has been cleared."
Fang Pei nodded.
"Join the ranks."
