Chapter 05. Magic Cannon Energy

The square pipe runs down the snow-and-frosted walls to the ground, and connects to a mysterious warehouse-like square building with a height of 3 meters.

Inside the building, covered in black cloth, some weird, painful, and frantic roars could be faintly heard.

But these roaring voices were inaudible under the noise of the laser cannons, the noise of the cold wind, and the magical sounds of the soldiers fighting outside the city. (The interior itself has activated the soundproofing magic)

At the door of the warehouse, which was completely covered by black cloth, several soldiers of Pengmai City with gloomy faces stood guard here. Among them were men and women, some with helmets and some without helmets. But basically everyone's face is iron-colored, as if they have seen something that should not be seen, and as if they have done something wrong.

And at the door of this warehouse, more than 20 people are imprisoned in a prisoner car with its own thermal insulation magic. Among them, there are also men and women, most of them are ancient species, and a few are Red Devils. Among them, the ones who were dressed in tatters were slaves, and the few Red Devils who were dressed appropriately were prisoners who committed capital crimes.

They were all handcuffed and shackled without exception. And these handcuffs and shackles are also lit with strange spells, as well as mysterious pink crystals.

Since these people were all magically applied, they all had a happy, content, and happy smile on their faces, as if they had seen the scenery they liked the most. Their eyes, however, were godless.

Between the prisoner cart and the black mysterious building, a soldier who seemed to be at the rank of captain, wearing armor that was more advanced than those soldiers, guarded here with a serious and annoyed expression.

On the face of the vicissitudes of life and handsomeness, those brown eyes carried an inexplicable loss.

He grinned slightly and smacked his tongue silently.

(That's right, the humans in those cars are the same energy used by the magic cannon.) )

……

The black-purple magic cannon and the blazing red magic cannon were still colliding with each other in the sky. A strong light completely illuminated the north side of the city of Pommai.

【Screen Settings Supplement】

1. Due to the influence of black clouds, there is no light at all within 4 kilometers around Pengmai City. In a completely dull state, the magic cannon collision is very glaring.

2. Due to the fact that the magic cannon used in Pommai City is too bright, and the height of the city walls is also problematic. Therefore, during the attack of the magic cannon, some of the soldiers in front of the north gate of Pengmai City will be responsible for refractive magic to counteract the strong light of some magic cannons.

3. Outside the north gate of Pengmai City, 2,000 soldiers were arranged, including some adventurers from Pengmai City (hereinafter referred to as soldiers). However, they do not stand in a neat phalanx, but rather in a network structure, with a distance of 2 to 3 meters between people. Thanks to this loose formation, almost 70 percent of the northern edge of Pomp Mai was protected by these soldiers. The overall formation looks like a crescent moon. And because it was dark, fluorescent magic balls fluttered everywhere between the teams.

Each of the squads that make up the 'reticulated structure' consists of at least 5 mages skilled in the use of defensive barriers, 2 sentient mages (scouts), 2 messengers, and at least 7 combatants. And everyone is relatively scattered.

The reason for this lineup that looks very weak (and scatters as soon as you rush) is because this world rarely plays melee combat, and it is basically a long-range fight.

And since demons are very likely to use ultra-long-range magic construction and fixed-point attacks, it is necessary to perceive the presence of magicians. They need to notify the members of their team and their neighbors before the demon's ranged magic circle is formed or before the ranged attack appears.

That's right, whether it's an ultra-long-range magic construction or an ultra-long-range fixed-point attack, you can directly bypass the magic barrier and attack a certain location.

4. The ground where these soldiers are located has been cleared of snow. The ground has been magically reinforced to prevent it from slipping or disintegrating when attacked.

5. Around the black pyramid of demons, there are dense phalanxes, and more than 40,000 demons are lined up one after another in the front and back of the pyramid.

Among them, the 1.8-meter-tall skeleton knight, the 1.3-meter-tall hunchbacked zombie assassin, the 1.7-meter-tall necromancer, the two-meter-2 troll heavy sword shield rider, and other 'normal' humanoid demons are all neatly arranged in front of the black pyramid. Even some non-human shapes, such as those with a bunch of shots, like a 3-meter-high hill, covered in rags floating in the sky, etc., are standing neatly behind the pyramid.

Of course, what is unbelievable is that there are many demons behind the pyramid, accounting for 70% of the total force. It was as if the city of Pomp Mai was not in front of them, but behind.

6. Because the demon's magic cannon is very high and the color is very dark, the demon does not use refractive magic.

[End of supplement]

The attack of the magic cannons on both sides lasted for 30 seconds. During this period of time, the deepening trend of the depression and gully of the ground is also gradually stabilized, and it is not sinking or deepening.

Moreover, the pitch-black magic cannon on the demon's side is beginning to taper at a speed visible to the naked eye. And the magic cannon on the side of Pengmai City also took advantage of the situation and continued to rush towards the demon's side.

Obviously, as long as the attack continues like this, the magic cannon on the side of Pengmai City can directly attack the main camp of the demon clan.

However, the magic cannon on Pengmai City's side actually began to slowly taper, and it seemed to reduce its power.

"Drop: 3 percent per second." On the city wall, a red-haired researcher who operated a magic cannon reported loudly.

"Keep going up to 8 percent." A Red Devil uncle holding a messenger crystal on the side said.

"Understood." The young red hair, who controlled the magic cannon, slid lightly on the magic cannon's console while agreeing. "Eight percent per second, done."

As a result, the laser cannons of both sides are constantly getting thinner while maintaining dynamic equilibrium.

After 10 seconds, the lasers on both sides are completely gone. As if premeditated, two completely different lasers were perfectly offset in the end.

The camera turned to the small plain on the northwest side of Pengcheng, which is about 400 meters away from Pengmai City.

There are such two people, and they are secretly observing the changes in the magic cannons of both sides.

Both of them were magical researchers in Pommai City, and there were five soldiers around them to protect them. In the event of danger, they will send the two researchers away with the fastest possible activation of the teleportation crystal. (All seven of them are dressed in white and wearing sunglasses, barely visible in the snow at night, and have activated their occult magic.) )

"Well, this first wave. It's kind of over." An older old researcher stroked his goatee while looking through a telescope at the point of impact of the magic cannon in the distance.
