Section 9 Threats

All of a sudden, several bearded people were surrounded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fire provided light to the close, but instead deepened the darkness in the distance. Even if it was Lu Wu, he couldn't see how many people were around, he only felt that there should be a lot of people. Some were near, some were far away, but they were on all sides, and the muzzles of numerous guns were pointed together at the very center, that is, the bearded men.
The two sides are temporarily deadlocked there.
If you do it, the odds of winning on the red side are really not big. This is because the enemy has a heavily protected exoskeleton armor. This mech is specially handled, and even has some armor added to the outside, which is obviously a temporary addition, and it is clear at a glance that it is specially designed to deal with infantry. It's hard to say anything else, but it's probably possible to rely on a universal rifle to destroy an exoskeleton armor, but the odds are too low. It doesn't stand still and get beaten. In fact, as mentioned earlier, this thing looks tall, but when it comes to movement, it is more agile and faster than humans.
However, as soon as the battle began, except for the driver inside the exoskeleton armor, the situation was not optimistic, including the bearded man who was the leader, and nine times out of ten it would turn into a hornet's nest - these people stood on the edge of the fire and were very good targets for shooting. In addition, there is no shelter nearby.
If it's in one direction, it's okay, bearded people can hide behind exoskeleton armor and rely on exoskeleton armor as their cover. But with such firepower from all directions, even if there is nowhere to hide, it must be a difficult challenge to survive.
Even if you can win in the end, you have to die. This kind of self-sacrificing mentality is not the style of a bandit. So the bearded man did not dare to give the order to attack for a while.
That's why Hongyi came to the scene of the fire a beat slower than Lu Wu. He must have guessed what was going on, and then he was ready to go to the scene.
At this time, both sides were afraid of each other, and no one dared to make the first move.
"I see," Lu Wu took a step forward, "You set this fire!"
"It's just to expel the undesirable guests," Lu Wu took the initiative to stand up, which made the bearded man a little surprised. He quietly made a gesture behind him, signaling the subordinate wearing the exoskeleton armor to grab Lu Wu first. The so-called capture of the thief and capture the king first is this reason, if you can catch Lu Wu, then there is a good hostage in your hand, and it will be very convenient to advance and retreat at that time.
It's a pity that the bearded man made a habitual mistake. If it was broad daylight, it might have been difficult for him to make such a secret gesture, but now he pulled out a long, clear shadow in the firelight, and the human hand made a small movement, and the shadow was a big movement.
"Haha...... Want to catch me?" Lu Wuda laughed. He stretched out his right hand and showed it clearly in front of the bearded man for a few seconds. "It's up to you to have the ability!"
"Magic...... Ring!" The bearded man recognized what was in Lu Wu's hand and gasped.
If exoskeleton armor relies on the power of science to give humans extraordinary powers, then the magic ring uses the power of magic to give humans extraordinary powers. However, there is not a notch in between. The magic ring is far more powerful than the exoskeleton armor. In fact, the magic ring surpasses exoskeleton armor in every aspect, except for its less striking resistance.
Under normal circumstances, it is not uncommon for people in the army to have exoskeleton armor, but magic rings are very rare, and only some high-ranking people can hold them.
The most important thing is that magic rings are not like ordinary machines, which have troubles such as wear and tear, maintenance, etc., and they are very easy to hide. Dressed in an exoskeleton armor, even idiots can see it. But wearing a magic ring...... You can't see it unless you pay special attention. No, this thing is easy to hide, even with special attention.
If there is such a ring, then ...... Thinking about it, the bearded man's face couldn't help but show greed.
But for now, this is ...... The magic ring is good, but only if you can get it. Of course, snatching the magic ring is not invincible, but the current situation is another story.
"Count you ruthless, let's go!" the bearded man dropped this sentence and turned to leave, but he obviously overestimated his deterrent power and underestimated the determination of the other party, and the surrounding besiegers had no intention of getting out of the way.
Oops! I would have brought a few more mechs with mech! He secretly regretted it, but there is no regret medicine in any world. The situation is not good.
Although the refugee community as a whole is relatively calm, the effects of the collapse of social order are gradually emerging. One of the most striking aspects of the collapse of social order is that crime is left unattended. This means that he is so open-minded to bring people to set fires and blackmail without worrying about being punished from the top. But on the other hand, the other party killed him and was still safe and sound, and no one cared.
The Banshee's Gate has fallen, and now they have nowhere to go, and in this case, human life is as cheap as a mustard. This is the cruel, but objective truth. The reason why there is such a false calm is because people are not aware of it for the time being, or rather, most people are not aware of it. But sooner or later, when they run out of money, when people have nothing but the little food they have for the refugees, everyone will realize this.
And the bearded man is the seer who recognizes this cruel reality in advance. So what he has to do is to squeeze and plunder as many resources as he can before everything completely collapses, and then escape from here.
So what Hongyi and Lu Wu did was stupid in his eyesโthe very stupid kind. The ship is already sinking, and what you have to do is to quickly pry a plank off the plank of the ship, rather than trying in vain to repair the ship there. This kind of fool is the most suitable target for plunder.
However, even if you are a fool, it is not always easy to deal with. Especially a fool with a magic ring. So he really knew that the current situation was probably the worst. He came to plunder. But if the Marauders were not strong enough, their fate would never be so rosy.
"What do you want to do?" This time, he was not as confident as before, and it could be said that he was already very inward-looking.
"You set the fire and burned so many things," Lu Wu said. "Just want to leave?"
To say that it was really the bearded words and deeds that gave him confidence. In fact, Lu Wu didn't know the difference between the magic ring and the exoskeleton armor before. Because he hadn't seen the confrontation between the two, he could only simply think that the defense of the exoskeleton armor was better, and the magic ring should be faster and more agile. All in all, it must have been better to have a magic ring, otherwise it wouldn't have been Colonel Doyle with a magic ring at the time. At that time, it really started, but in fact, Lu Wu didn't have much confidence. After all, Colonel Doyle still has an indestructible sword, and he is now with his bare hands.
If the bearded man can perform a little better, maybe Lu Wu will weigh the pros and cons and give up for the time being. At that time, seeing the bearded man's expression now, Lu Wu was determined to go further.
The benefits that can be obtained must not be let go!
The bearded man's eyes wandered around, but alas, he was too confident before. Originally, in his conception, the red-clothed gang would never be able to deal with the exoskeleton armor, so his current position can be said to be the worst position, besieged and with nowhere to hide. When the exoskeleton armor deterrent was still there, it was good to say that at least it could be used to force the other side to make concessions by "ending up together", but now, the situation is very bad.
If there were two exoskeletons, the situation would be much better...... But it's not that he's not thoughtful, it's that this thing is quite expensive to maintain, and it's best not to move if you can. He desperately turned his brain to solve the problem, but it really couldn't seem to be imagined.
No, maybe you can try it, the other person doesn't seem so determined......
"Red, leave the exoskeleton armor to me to deal with. Lu Wu's words directly shattered the illusion of the bearded man. "I'll take care of the rest. โ
Red-clothed did not speak, but raised his left hand in the firelight, slowly but surely. He was very close to the flames, so people from afar could see his movements very clearly.
It's a whole world ...... No, it should be said that all human beings have a common action. Raise your hand, slash down, a signal to attack.
"Wait!" The bearded man cried out before the red-clothed hand was raised to the top, "It doesn't have to be like this!" he looked at Lu Wu hatefully. Although he was unwilling to give in, he was even more reluctant to die like this. "We are willing to compensate. โ
"Keep this exoskeleton armor behind!" Redcoat said. "As compensation. โ
In this case, although a higher price can be opened, the premise of all the offers is that they can be cashed. Lu Wu only has one magic ring, and these people are far more than just an exoskeleton armor. In fact, even taking them hostage is useless. Although the bearded man is the leader, maybe anyone wants to try his hand at being the boss, does he?
The bearded man hesitated, trying to delay a little. But the red coat didn't seem to have a lot of patience, and in the firelight, his body was like a giant, full of majesty.
"Don't try to play tricks, I'll count to three and let that guy get out of it right away!"
The bearded man finally gave up, and he tapped the mechanical giant beside him, who opened it up, and a companion stepped out of the middle.
The red clothes issued a code, and a gap was vacated in the encirclement, and the bearded man looked unwilling, glanced at Lu Wu angrily, and then turned around and left from the direction of the gap.
Lu Wu walked in front of the open exoskeleton armor. Feel ...... It was different from what Lu Wu had seen before. It's a little larger, and, perhaps to further improve its defenses, the large machine has a lot of temporary armor added to it, making it look like a human with a lot of thorns.
"There are many types of mechs," Redcoat said. "Light, Medium, Heavy, Built-in, Outsourced, Driving, Body Sensing...... This is one of the more primitive ones. Large in size, susceptible to concentrated attacks, and the interior is manual driving, which requires special training to be able to handle it properly...... And there are no various life-support facilities in it, so there is no way to drive it for a long time. Originally, this type has rarely appeared on the battlefield. He sighed softly. Originally, this kind of thing could only be used as a second-rate backup, and it was moldy in the warehouse. But in this case, it becomes the most powerful equipment.
Lu Wu remembered the colonel's subordinates, and those exoskeleton armors were smaller. But then again, it is estimated that it is the equipment of the elite troops.
"That ......" Lu Wu turned his attention to the victim on the side. As soon as the bearded man got out, everyone else came to help, trying to get something out of the fire. But alas, it was already too late. "What are they going to do?"
