Chapter 52: Offensive and Defensive Swaps

Lu Mu's face was solemn, compressing the air in front of him, turning into an invisible wall in front of him. The next moment, a huge wind blade crashed into this invisible wall.

This seems to be just a slightly larger wind blade, but it is actually made up of countless small wind blades. Not only does it have a powerful cutting ability, but it also has a long-lasting effect. It is completely possible to scrape off a thick layer of alloy ten centimeters thick.

By the time the wind blade dissipated, the air compression wall, which was originally half a meter thick, was less than five centimeters left. Lu Mu's face was as usual, it was obvious that he had expected such a result.

The air compression wall created by Lu Mu just counteracted the Nightmare attack. And the extra five centimeters are Lu Mu's extra guarantee in order to prevent accidents.

The combat effectiveness of the ability, in addition to the level and ability effect, combat experience and control of the ability are also the key to combat effectiveness.

Using the minimum consumption to achieve the maximum effect, without wasting a little spiritual power, this is the embodiment of control. A veteran ability like Lu Mu has a far more understanding and control of ability than ordinary ability.

After just a few encounters, Lu Mu had already figured out the ability effect of these nightmares, and the power of the ability.

The strongest of these Nightmare Raiders is also A-rank, which is about the same strength as Lu Mu. The ability is probably the elemental [Wind Bringer], the ability to manipulate the wind.

This ability not only allows him to use wind blades, but also increases the speed of other nightmares, and imposes a certain restraint on the actions of the Chosen One of the White Nights.

Among the other nightmares, the one that attracted Lu Mu's attention was a gray-robed nightmare who stood outside the battle between the two sides and never made a move. If you don't make a move, it means the unknown, and the unknown is the most terrifying.

The current situation is a stalemate between the two sides, and the tacit understanding, trust, cooperation, and lineup between several capable people on the federal side are far beyond the nightmare side.

Lu Mu's ability is [Air Compression], creating air compression walls, air cannons. Positioning in the team is group defense and remote output.

That uncle's ability is [Golem], and in two seconds after the start of the war, he changed from a lewd uncle to a brown-skinned muscular man. can fight against the dog, and the positioning is naturally the front row meat shield.

The girl's ability is [Plant Messenger], the ability to control plants, and the resilience of these plants is increased several times. Positioning is an auxiliary control.

A civil servant's ability to dress up is [Electric Shock Messenger], although the electricity system seems to be very awesome, but in fact it is not welcomed. Class B has only a 1,000-volt electric shock.

Although it is enough to deal with ordinary people, it is only a temporary paralysis to deal with these people with perverted physical abilities. And if you don't have strong control, it's easy not to hurt your teammates. So much so that this electric shock ability has become a control in the team.

There is also a woman named Guan Jing, whose ability is [Body Strengthening]. If it's just this ordinary ability, it's naturally not enough to qualify for the elite group of White Nights.

Naturally, she was able to enter this group because of some dirty deals, or because she had a big background. Without strength, entering such an elite group will only kill yourself.

Marksmanship mastery, hand-to-hand combat mastery, dagger master, this is the reason why Guan Jingneng entered this group. The perverted body of the capable person was strengthened again, with a special dagger, plus the title of dagger master. It's a nightmare for anyone with remote abilities. Guan Jing's team is positioned as a ranged gunner and a melee assassin.

The brief control inflicted by other teammates is enough to silence and attack the Nightmare. If it weren't for the Nightmare's numerical advantage, there would have been Nightmares who would have died at the hands of Guan Jing. Even so, there were wounds on the nightmare's body.

Under various factors, although there are nine people in the Nightmare, they are unable to break through the protective circle formed by only five people. And even if a few attacks break through this protective circle by chance, they will have to face the one that Lu Mu set up next to Councilor Wu Lang and his daughter—an air compression shield that is enough to withstand an attack from an A-class nightmare.

So although the nightmare didn't make a move, Lu Mu didn't have any fear. Even if the Nightmare who didn't shoot was A-level, Lu Mu believed that his team would be able to drag on for a few minutes.

When the time comes, the resources that the Federation has already arranged will arrive, and none of these nightmares will be able to leave.

Suddenly, Lu Mu was stunned, and he was in a trance during the battle, causing him to almost be hit by a small wind blade. Even if he reacted and dodged for a moment, a small wound inevitably appeared on his body.

What about the support that will arrive in a minute?! It's been three minutes now!

Lu Mu's left hand created an air compression wall that was just enough to block the wind blade's attack. With a slight wave of his right hand, several compressed air cannons suddenly flew towards the nightmare.

Several Nightmares also reacted extremely quickly, and the nightmares of the four Chosen One, who were originally besieged by eight people, immediately separated two Nightmares to resist Lu Mu's attack. Lu Mu's teammates also took advantage of the Nightmare's combat power being dispersed to force back the remaining six Nightmares.

Lu Mu looked at the nightmare vigilantly, and shouted to his teammates, "Has the signal been sent?" The signal that Lu Mu asked was naturally a signal for the large army to hurry up and support.

The faces of several of the Chosen ones also changed, because they were extremely nervous in the previous battle, and they didn't have the extra brain power to calculate the time that had passed. Now after Lu Mu's reminder, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"I sent it as soon as possible!" The members of the civil servant costume who were in charge of signaling also hurriedly responded, and showed off the red star stone buttons on their sleeves.

He definitely doesn't carry this pot.

The star stone is made from a special meteorite discovered by the Federation, and it is all round. The Federation found in research that the stone would turn from gray to red when exposed to enough water. When the water evaporates to a certain extent, it will turn gray again.

This would have been useless, but when the Federation cut the round star stone in half, it was discovered that when water was dripped on one half, the other half would also turn red. This effect has led the Federation to use the Star Stone as a nexus in a special situation.

Because electromagnetic waves will be disturbed by chaotic spiritual power fluctuations and cannot be transmitted. And this change in the star stone, no way to find any interference. Therefore, when the ability is at war, it is all connected by using star stones.

Their plan was to support the stone as soon as it turned red. In the case that there is no change of color, I maintain a state that I can support at all times. The person in charge of the support force, Xingshi, is a close confidant of Councilor Wu Lang.

And now they have asked for support with the Star Stone, but no one has arrived. Several possibilities instantly appeared in Lu Mu's mind:

One: The transmission signal of the star stone is intercepted. This possibility is too slim, and since the discovery of the star stone, there has never been a failed delivery.

Two: The cronies in charge of Xingshi mutinied. It is still a small possibility, if even that cronie has defected, then the grass on the grave of Councilor Wu Lang is taller than him.

Three: Mutiny of the commander in the support force. It's also impossible, in addition to the commander, but there are many people in the Federation. Unless most of the people supporting the army mutinied, and the others who did not defect were killed in an instant. If this is the case, the Federation can surrender to the Nightmare.

Four: The other half of the star stone is passive, such as being painted with a layer of gray paint, or it is directly an imitation. Although it is difficult to do this, it is countless times greater than the previous possibilities.

Recalling the previous battle, Lu Mu finally discovered a funny fact, the nightmare was dragging time. The reason why Lu Mu thinks it's funny is because they have always been the ones who have been delaying time before.

Nightmare seemed to have been trying to break through the defenses of the five people before, but he hadn't even launched the forbidden technique to improve his ability in a short period of time at the cost of harming himself. After attacking for three minutes, it has been four minutes now, and there has been no sign of breaking through the five-man defense, but there is no trace of retreat and abandonment.

Even the tactic of exchanging injuries for breakthroughs has not been used, and until now, neither Nightmare nor the Chosen One of the White Nights has been seriously injured, only a few people have been slightly injured.

"They're dragging their feet!" Although Lu Mu couldn't figure it out, he also shouted out his thoughts.

Procrastination? The four teammates were stunned.

"There's something wrong with that gray-robed nightmare who hasn't done anything." Wu Lang, who was under the protection of the air compression wall, immediately spoke.

Before, her daughter was crying and asking all kinds of questions, which caused Wu Lang to fool her daughter all the time, and she didn't have the energy to think about time.

The faces of the five people changed at the same time, and the A-class nightmare also commanded the other nightmares, and pressed up again, trying to influence the thinking of several people.

"Attack that gray-robed nightmare!" Lu Mu immediately asked his teammates to respond, although he already had a hunch that it was too late.

I used to think that one less Nightmare would join the battle, and the five would be less stressed, but now I finally feel how stupid my previous idea was.

Lu Mu manipulated the air to condense into an air cannon and pushed towards the gray-robed nightmare, but his body did not dare to leave Councilor Wu Lang's side. The other Chosen ones rushed towards the Grey-robed Nightmare together.

As soon as the five of them responded like this, most of the Nightmares gave up their attack and stood in front of the Grey-robed Nightmare. Only two Nightmares were left cautiously approaching Wu Lang, although the two Nightmares also understood that they could not break through Lu Mu's defenses, but they also dragged Lu Mu to Councilor Wu Lang's side.

Several Nightmares did not flash or close Lu Mu's air cannon, and they worked together to block it. When Lu Mu wanted to attack again, the A-class nightmare also released the wind blade at the councilor, forcing Lu Mu to give up the attack and quickly compress a wind wall in front of the councilor.

Seeing these nightmares turn from offense to defense, the five of them regretted their previous carelessness more and more.

It can't be said that the five were careless, they were attacked before. The first thing that the five people thought of was definitely to defend and protect the councilors. This is also the strategy they have set before.

Coupled with the constant attack of Nightmare, several people were also preoccupied with defense, and they didn't dare to be distracted. So much so that I didn't realize that the purpose of the nightmare was to delay time.

Four of them attack the Grey-robed Nightmare, and seven Nightmares defend.

A-class nightmares plus two B-class nightmares launched an attack on the councilor, forcing the strongest Lu Mu to defend, and the five-person lineup was cut. The Nightmare itself doesn't have much of a lineup, plus the elite team is good at playing defensively, not offensively.

As a result, the current situation has changed from the advantage of the Chosen One to a disadvantage. Not only is it completely impossible to get close to the Grey Nightmare, but it is in danger under the Nightmare's attack.

"It's time, Councilor Wu Lang go all the way!" Then the A-class nightmare suddenly stopped continuing to attack the councillors and said this.

Lu Mu's face changed, and he dodged in front of the councilor, casting a one-meter-thick air compression wall. The closer you are to your body, the stronger your ability to overpower. One meter thick is also the strongest defense that Lu Mu can forge in a short time, and such an air compressed wall can completely resist the main artillery bombardment of the new federal tank.

The first action of the gray-robed nightmare from the beginning to the present is to fold his hands.

There was a soft sound of "pop", and the sound was so soft that even the five senses of the perverted person could not hear it clearly. There were no earth-shattering visions of the gray-robed nightmare.

On the contrary, a cough sounded in Lu Mu's ears in the next second, like thunder.

Lu Mu turned his head stiffly, and what he saw was Councilor Wu Lang covering his mouth and coughing constantly, and bright red blood was constantly oozing from his fingers.
