Chapter 31: A fierce battle is coming

……

"The purpose of the Traveler's House is that all enemies—monsters, demons, and rebels who are also humans—can be exchanged for resources. That is, enough firepower can solve everything. ”

……

After showing a wave of firepower, the caravan seemed to wipe out the small demon tribes in this area, and the rest of the road was calm for a long time, and no new monsters were seen.

Ling Jian picked up a bullet casing that had landed at his feet and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. He had no interest in the battle he had just fought - "Goblins" didn't produce any valuable material. Instead, he became interested in the heavy machine guns that the Traveler caravan was equipped with.

Despite their heavy firepower, they are a little too sharp when slaughtering "Goblins", also known as Lesser Bad Devils. Ling Jian was sure that at least one of these heavy machine guns or the ammunition used had been "magically modified".

At this time, the bullet casing in Ling Key's hand was engraved with some mysterious and complicated patterns.

Ling Jian knew right away that these bullets had been specially treated. It is not the so-called "enchantment" - "magic" is a taboo in this world - but a kind of pattern seal carving technique, the unscientific technology of using special patterns to change the physical properties of the engraved object, which belongs to the extension of alchemy, which was originally used to pre-treat materials, and later evolved into a more widespread and popular technique than alchemy itself. Of course, since alchemy itself is a very out-of-the-way technique, the seal pattern technique is actually quite niche.

Among the many messy skills that Ling Jian learned in the process of studying the profession of "Maker", this relatively out-of-the-way skill was included. He had also done things to carve patterns for bullets, so Ling Jian knew very well the time and effort it would take to do so. For others who are not creators, it costs a lot of money.

Ling Jian raised his head and re-examined the convoy and the fifteen sets of heavy machine guns that were attached to it. If the ammunition used with these firearms is sealed...... Ling Key once again refreshed his understanding of the extent of the trenches in the Traveler's House.

"Well, if you like it, you can keep it as a souvenir." The young guard in the turret had apparently guessed something wrong.

Ling Jian was stunned for a moment, and it was not easy to refuse, so he took the opportunity to put the bullet case into his pocket.

"It's just an ordinary bullet case, but the pattern on it is beautiful." The young guard continued, "It's a nice little thing, but when you get to the next city, you can sell it directly to the local children as a small craft." It's a very popular product. ”

"Huh?" Ling Jian couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of a traveler's caravan, and its business sense is really strong......

"Haha, that's what people say all the time." The young guard laughed. After learning that Ling Jian was a graduate of the boot camp, the attitude of the members of the escort team towards him became obviously closer, "Let's just take it as a compliment......

Whoosh~Bang!

A red flare suddenly rises in the sky in the distance.

"It's a scout who has been sent out to investigate, and a monster is about to appear!" The young guard shouted, then turned his gun in that direction.

"There are also on the left!" Someone in the car on the other side also shouted.

At the same time, the sound of a second flare was heard. Then, with little time to react, two crimson flares were raised directly in front of the convoy.

"Attention everyone!" Old Decker's voice resounded throughout the convoy, "A large-scale enemy attack is about to occur!" Everyone is ready for battle! ”

With a hula, the adventurers all stood up from their seats, their swords unsheathed, ready to get out of the car and fight.

Although they hadn't officially seen the monster they had encountered, the sudden solemnity of killing in the air made everyone instinctively nervous. Everyone here has been baptized by battle, and instantly realizes that this is a precursor to an imminent big war.

Ling Key belonged to the people who were less experienced in this area, and he could feel the change in the atmosphere, but ......

"Is this a common occurrence in a traveler's caravan?" Ling Jian frowned. Although he also admits that the strength of the caravan is strong, a monster attack of this scale is still beyond the scope that the "caravan" should withstand, right?

For the first time, Fan Li also showed a serious expression, and pulled out the short sword from the belt around his waist with his left hand. While looking into the distance, he explained to Ling Key, "To be honest, this is definitely not normal. It looks like demons and demonic beasts from a radius of dozens of kilometers in the vicinity have come running......"

Around the convoy, a thick layer of dust rose from the lush grass. A considerable number of monsters are surrounding from all directions, and even the sky is full of bird-like magical beasts. In a trance, one can't help but feel as if this marching team has become a moving island, which may be swallowed up by the dark tide at any time.

"Fire at full power, don't skimp on ammunition!" Old Dekker shouted orders.

The next moment, before the attacking monsters could emerge from the dust, the fifteen turrets erupted with all their might. The one-man locomotives cruising around were also connected to the walking cars, and the riders set up smaller machine guns and fired into the smoke and dust.

Roars and wails rang out almost at the same time as the gunshots rang out, and the color of the dust was dyed a dark red.

Armed with weapons in hand, the adventurers keep an eye on their surroundings, ready to jump in and fight the monsters. But since the roar of gunfire overhead, not even a single monster has managed to break out of the dusty area for more than thirty seconds.

The weapon raised in his hand could not be dropped for a long time, which made people feel a little confused for a while. The situation they are encountering is completely different from the previous battles.

"It seems that they are all some unpopular little minions." Fan Li muttered, and sat back in his seat, the short sword spinning nimbly at his fingertips, "Without the centurion-level guy leading the team, it would be impossible to break through the firepower network of the Traveler's House, right?" ”

Even the regular army of the kingdom does not necessarily have the exaggerated firepower of the Traveler Caravan. The convoy continued to push forward, and with the help of machine-gun arrays, it opened the way and ran over all the way. Although they didn't have to clean up the battlefield anymore, they did not stop because of the monster army.

The ammunition carried by the caravan seemed to be endless, and the dense tongue of fire continued for ten minutes without exhaustion. One can't help but wonder if the convoy didn't deliver much cargo at all, and the compartment was full of ammunition.

The powerful firepower network suppressed the monster group and couldn't raise its head. Indeed, just as Fan Li judged, the demons who could temporarily resist heavy machine gun fire and burst into the vicinity of the convoy were at least centurion-level demons, and none of them appeared here!

The few "elite captains" who had just broken out of the firepower network were accurately named by black lightning-like arrows and shot in the air.

That Uncle with a national character face is also the only adventurer who made a move in this battle and made a gain.

It is worth mentioning that the arrows he uses are also high-grade seals provided by the Traveler Merchant Favor. It's a bit of a waste to fight these mobs. If it weren't for his own money, the uncle with the national character face might not be willing to be so extravagant, right?
