Amber lay silently on the bed. The illusory body refracts colorful reflections in the light, which is almost like a beautiful bubble.

To be honest, this is the first time Lu Wu has faced this situation. In the days he spent with Amber, although he had seen Amber's body blurred, he had never known that Amber's blurred body was untouchable—in fact, it couldn't be said to be untouchable, but it felt like a ball of water that could be penetrated directly.

Previously, even if Amber blurred her body, it was actually no different from an entity when she touched it. Now that I think about it, Amber must have done it on purpose.

I can't tell why she was covered by a blanket, probably because the blanket was relatively lightweight. Just as a feather can float on the surface of the water, while a stone can only sink into the water.

For this situation, it is obvious that all the first aid methods known to Lu Wu are ineffective. Whether it is cardiopulmonary resuscitation, pinching, or even artificial respiration, it needs to be used on a "person", not against a phantom. The current Amber is not so much a person, but rather an illusion created by a 3D projection, which is not accessible at all.

What the hell is ...... What happened?

Amber was carried back by the old woman with her cloak and hooded face. Butterfly Dream didn't go into details, but anyone could tell that the old woman was clearly a powerful warlock. I don't know why she suddenly appeared on top of the Floating Fortress, and I don't know why Amber became like this.

But what is in front of him is obviously out of his control. Butterfly Dream and the old woman had seen this gesture of Amber, and Amber was undoubtedly completely exposed.

I don't know what will happen next.

What happened today was too sudden—the Redcoats had sensed a Ranger infiltrating the Floating Fortress yesterday. Well, this incident was unexpected, but it made sense. Although the scout force is mainly engaged in reconnaissance, they do not mind causing more damage if the conditions are right. The same is true on Earth. And such a floating fortress under repair, with little protection, is obviously a perfect target.

The Red Coats took on the combat mission of capturing this Ranger. This task is not difficult, because although the Ranger is very powerful, it is still very difficult to take out such a war beast alone. So Redcoat has plenty of time and resources to deal with this lurker. It looks like everything is going to be easy, and there are Butterfly Dream and Amber. Even in the worst case, there doesn't seem to be much danger.

But...... Lu Wu waited anxiously. Yes, Red's judgment is correct, and the Floating Fortress will be fine, but Amber and him will not necessarily be fine!

He didn't have to wait long.

There was a heavy footstep sound outside, and for some reason, Lu Wu felt that the footsteps seemed to be too heavy. But before he could come to his senses, the door opened. A guard wearing exoskeleton armor led the two guests inside.

The first was Butterfly Dream, and the other was an old woman in a taupe cloak.

He had only glanced at the old woman just now, and only now did he have a chance to take a closer look.

If there was one first impression the old woman gave him, it was tall. Lu Wu's height is not short, but this old woman is a head taller than him. In other words, when the two sides are close, Lu Wu must look up at each other. Moreover, due to her clothing, the long cloak hung down her body, allowing her body to occupy a large space.

Although it could be seen that it was an old woman, this tall size was very intimidating. I didn't feel anything when I glanced at it in a hurry just now, but when the two of them were facing each other in the room at close range, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel his throat dry, and he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva to moisten his dry throat.

This old woman...... Since she can work side by side with Butterfly Dream, she should be a high-level warlock on the same level as Butterfly Dream, right? No, judging from the body language and subtle position of both parties, her identity is still above Butterfly Dream.

When they met for the first time, because the master unceremoniously copied all the information on Diemeng's terminal, Lu Wu had long known that Diemeng was a high-level warlock with a very high status. In other words, one of the few people at the top of the pyramid in this world's human society. However, although Diemeng is said to be at the top, she seems to be in the academic aspect, rather than a high-ranking official with real power.

And if this old woman is said to have the same status as Diemeng, then what will she be?

The old woman raised a hand to her chest and made a gesture of stooping and saluting. Although this is a polite gesture, it seems to stimulate the nerves, and the goosebump-making breath wafts out, making people feel uncomfortable all over the body. Moreover, Lu Wu observed a detail, that is, the old woman's hood did not move at all.

The old woman wore a cloak and a hood, hiding most of her face in the shadow of the hood. It would have been quite strange for an old woman to come out wearing such a cloak, and when she was saluting just now, the edges of the hood were actually motionless. Although it looks like it should be a fabric, it feels like it's a stone carving.

Lu Wu returned the salute in the same way, and then made a gesture to signal the guards to go out. Although he felt a little uneasy, the power of warlocks was too strong in this world. This means that if two warlocks want to work against him, then no matter how loyal the guards are, there is no point here.

"This should be the leader of the sixteenth legion of the Banshee Gate, Your Excellency Lu Wu. The old woman's voice sounded very soft, no different from that of an old woman on earth.

"It's me, may I ask if you are ......"

"I'm sorry to be here, but let me introduce myself. The old woman said. "Others generally call me the Supreme Star, or 'High Star' for short, and I am the seventh archon of the Huiyue camp and the head of the Warlock Academy. The old woman's lips, which did not hide in the shadow of the hood, showed a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Lu Wu, I haven't seen a human from another world in many years. ”

……

“…… So that's it...... From this, the top management determined that the combat power of Kecha Goyat was very limited. "The Moon Warlock has already drunk the water. Although she seemed calm, the uncontrollable tremors throughout her body told her that she was far from as calm as she appeared. Even for those who only think they are enlightened, death is still a terrible thing.

After experiencing everything that has even been completely hopeless, you can truly understand how precious it is to live.

"I see, this is a novel but ingenious angle, and the ...... is calculated from the service life of the equipment," the red coat muttered.

"Yes, although Kecha Goyat said that he used unknown technology to create an entire army, but at the end of the day, his time is very limited, so he didn't climb the technology tree from scratch, but used the equipment he had in his hand to build it. All of these devices are made by the Stygian Moon. Before the betrayal of Kecha Goat, these things were under the control of the Stygian Moon, so both in terms of quantity and use status, they were completely mastered. ”

"I see, that's ......," Redcoat admits that the logic makes sense. Kecha Goatt had been under the watchful eye of the Stygian faction, and it was impossible for him to build everything from scratch. So it is certain, and it is only possible, to use the various facilities provided by the Stygian Moon to create its own army and weaponry. And the number of these facilities, their lifespan, and so on, are no secret to the Stygian Moon.

In particular, biochemical facilities...... Kecha Goat must have used these biochemical facilities to create that kind of intelligent biological force called the "Destroyer". But any equipment has its service life, this is an objective law, and no one can change it. So, with this data, it's easy to deduce the theoretical upper limit of the power that Kechagoats possesses. This kind of equipment is not easy to manufacture, and even if Kecha Goyat tries to get it from other sources, the number of them will be limited.

"So the idiots at the top calculated that Kecha Goyat would not have more than 100,000 troops. The Stygian snorted coldly. "They came up with a three-way strategy, attacking Kaicha Koyat from three directions, and exhausting Kecha Koyat's combat power in a war of attrition, so that they could easily win. The tactical idea is to advance every line that is advantageous and retreat to defend when it is unfavorable...... In short, it's a tug-of-war. ”

Hongyi thought for a moment. This tactic is conservative and will kill a lot of people, but it has to be said that it is a workable solution. On the other side of the Stygian Moon, he probably hoped to use this method to kill 100,000 Destroyers in a tug-of-war, so that Kecha Goat would become a loner...... Then things are simple.

What a clumsy tactic.

However, it can also be felt that the Moon side wants to be able to suppress the betrayal of Kecha Koat, but does not want Kecha Koat to be killed in battle. They still salivate over the otherworldly knowledge and technology that Kecha Goats possess. If you go to war with this kind of purpose, you will naturally be tied hand and foot, and it is normal to use stupid methods.

"This ...... Isn't that wrong?"

"Not wrong?" said the Moon Warlock with only a sneer on his face. "It turns out that those are high-level idiots...... The goal we set was to fight against 50,000 or 60,000 Destroyers in a defensive battle and 30,000 Destroyers in an offensive battle...... As a result. She let out a long, sudden sigh. "On every front, Kecha Koyat threw in more than 100,000 troops. ”

"What?"

"The enemy has more than twice as many troops as expected, and all sorts of weapons and equipment that have never been seen before...... If you calculate it according to the combat power, it is at least three or four times as expected. and more than three times the expected combat power...... Father, you know what that would be, right?"

“…… In the face of an enemy that is more than three times as expected, retreating at the cost of losing the number of troops after the break can be considered a good result. ”

"That's right, a fiasco...... The Warlock Legion, which was originally a reserve force, couldn't stop all of them...... Even the floating fortresses, which were supposed to be used for rear fire support, could not stop it...... Everything was swallowed up by the wave of Kecha Goat's offensive. I was able to survive the situation by evacuating ahead of time when the situation was not good. ”
