Chapter 173: Frontal Encounter
The team was resting, and at the same time the detachment leaders also had a short meeting.
With three minutes left before the end of the break, Matt returned to the three-point team.
"Next, we have to go directly to Wangkou, and from Wangkou into Mariner's Valley."
The Lookout is one of the entrances to Mariner's Valley from the Longnopeng Mountains, which is a large rift valley with a large difference in height around the edge, making it dangerous to enter without entering through the existing passages.
"But there should be alien guards at Wangkou...... Xiang Qingsong frowned.
These days, he can be considered to be more proficient in using power, but even so, he doesn't want to fight with other races easily.
"Not should, but for sure." Ye Zixu said.
Due to the topography, Mariner's Valley does not have as many entrances as other areas, and the alien race will definitely send heavy troops to guard it at Wangkou.
Although the [Owl] and the [Gray Parrot] act together, it does not mean that they can run rampant in the Red Mist Zone, you must know that even the demon lords who have been numbered by humans have reached thousands, and the number of demon lords is more than that of the A-level warriors of the Fifth Legion!
"Captain Jiang said that when he got there, someone would naturally answer." Matt didn't say much, he was just a team leader.
Xiang Qingsong shrugged and stood up from the ground.
About to march again, Ling An touched his right eye to make sure that there was nothing unusual about it now, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
"Ling An, if you meet a foreign race, you should be closer to me." Matt whispered to him as he approached Ling An.
Ling An knew that Matt was still tasked with protecting himself given to him by Lin Cheng, and last time because only he and Ike joined forces, the entire [Owl] had a way to live, and now with the [Gray Parrot] with him, he could free his hands to protect Ling An.
"Don't worry, captain, I'm not weak either. But if you really have to meet a B-class opponent, you'll have to hurry up. Ling An smiled lightly and said to Matt.
Matt was stunned for a moment, then his face relaxed a lot, and after patting Ling An's shoulder, he quickly left.
Looking at his back, Ling An sighed in his heart.
Living and dying together so many times, what can't you let go......
"Everyone, keep going!"
The combined team continued to move towards the lookout, and along the way, it was the people of the [Gray Parrot] who probed on the periphery.
The [Owl] shrank in the middle of the line, and several detachments, including the third team, formed a second cordon with the [Gray Parrot]'s men.
The remaining recruits stay in the center of the ranks, and the closer they get to the lookout, the more likely they are to appear enemies, and they are not suitable for training newcomers.
With less than ten kilometers to go, Ling An walked forward nervously, touching his right eyepatch from time to time to confirm whether it had a fever.
At noon in the Red Mist Zone, the red mist reflects the scattered sunlight, shining on the rocks in the mist, the strangely shaped plants in the Red Mist Zone, which looks strange and beautiful, and if it is on Earth, it will definitely attract a large number of tourists who like to explore.
"Didi! Didi! ”
A hurried voice sounded in the communicator, and Ling An immediately came back to his senses.
"There's a lot of aliens ahead! Repeat, there's a big alien race ahead! A calm and nervous voice came from the communicator, a team-wide warning from the [Grey Parrot] engine warriors ahead.
"Retreat!" This is Jiang Muye's voice.
Ling An and Ye Zixu, who was closest to him, looked at each other, and immediately, together with the rest of the third team, turned around and ran back.
The combined team quickly receded like a rapidly falling tide after a high tide. And in the center of the team, the [Owl] captain Jiang Muye and the [Gray Parrot] captain Anse Air had serious faces.
"Order the guards to keep the retreat channel clear......"
"Nine-detachment, ten-th detachment, buy time for the retreat of the large army......"
"A detachment ......"
After giving orders one by one, Ansel looked at Jiang Muye.
"Lao Jiang, you're right."
Jiang Muye's face didn't show anything abnormal, he had just given the [Owl] an order to cover the wings and clean up the possible enemies.
"Let's move on to the next step."
……
Ling An's face was not very good-looking.
What's going on, why isn't there a warning from the right eye? Now the distance between them and the alien race is only one kilometer, this distance, this distance, should be a warning!
The fighters in charge of the break did not succeed in escaping, and shortly after the troops began to retreat, there was a burst of explosions of engines finally agreeable.
But they got back a message:
This time, the alien race, the main force is the demon and the wolf demon!
What does this mean! It means that this is an elite unit of an alien race!
It seems that the alien race really attaches great importance to Wangkou, and it is clear that they are still some distance away from Wangkou, so they are attacked.
Captain Jiang ordered them to ensure the safety of the two wings, that is, there was still a possibility that the enemy would pursue them from the two wings.
Sure enough, less than five kilometers after the retreat of the team, the enemy appeared on both flanks.
It is still a familiar enemy of Ling An, a transformed scarlet demon.
The speed of the transformation of the Crimson Demon cannot be as fast as that of the wolf demon and the demon, and their appearance here means that they have already laid an ambush, hiding in the distance to prevent detection, and just wait for the combined team to pass, and then rush here.
One by one, the transformed scarlet demons couldn't hold back their killing intent, and they appeared from the stealth state, rushing from both sides, but Ling An and the others didn't look at it.
Even with their current strength, these metamorphoses of the Crimson Demons could pose a threat to them.
However, it was not their turn to make a move at this time.
Several engine warriors with a combat power of up to 500, under the leadership of B-level powerhouses, quickly destroyed the approaching metamorphosis scarlet demons like a blast of wind.
After the last battle, there were only six of the original ten detachment leaders left, and except for the two new detachment leaders who led the recruits in the center, the remaining detachment leaders were concentrated on the two wings.
At this moment, it was Jiang Muchuan and his fifth detachment who made the move.
Of course, the current fifth detachment is composed of veterans who have survived from the original multiple detachments, and these veterans have a combat strength of more than 500 and are extremely strong.
In addition, they have lost their comrades several times, and they all have a hatred for foreign races.
After a while, more than a dozen metamorphosed Scarlet Demons were killed or lost their mobility by this group of warriors, and the remaining Metamorphant Scarlet Demons seemed to have received some orders, and no longer rushed over, but just moved in the same direction with the combined team.
"These metamorphosed Scarlet Demons are making dumplings." Ling An narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be impulsive, wait for my orders. Now hand it over to the fifth detachment first. Matt in front of him immediately spoke.
In the rear, another group of warriors came into contact with the pursuing aliens.
The strength of the [Gray Parrot] is really good, and the response is very timely, and it was found that the elites who were chasing were all alien elites, one-on-one, those C-level fighters with five hundred combat power may not be able to escape, so only the leaders of the four squads were left, and eight of them had a combat power of seven hundred.
At the end of the line, they fought and retreated, and the Hawkeye mechs of [Gray Parrot] and [Owl] were a little ahead of them, and once the enemy was chasing closer, too many enemies would rush towards the broken twelve, they would open fire to stop them.
The closest to chase are the wolf demons, these red-haired wolves roar, extremely fast, iron claws can easily leave scratches on the armor of the engine warriors, and what is more troublesome is that dozens of wolf demons are chasing after them, once someone is entangled, the speed slows down, and the wolf demons behind will pounce together.
Fortunately, these warriors who stayed behind were also considered strong, and they were only slightly injured after chasing and contacting them several times.
Among the wolf demons, there are several tall ones, and their hair is as red as blood, they are transformed wolf demons.
The one with the largest body and the strongest muscles let out a terrifying roar from its mouth, and it was seen that the eyes of those ordinary wolf demons were even more fierce and faster.
Rumble!
The high-energy cannon bombarded past, and the beam purified everything in its path, but the body of the wolf demon, who was obviously the leader's transformation, jumped rapidly, and the [Eagle Eye] shot comparable to that of an A-class warrior fell into the vacancy.
"Kill them!"
The leader of the Transformed Wolf Demon roared, leading the other wolf demons to attack.
Retreating while fighting like this, of course, the speed slowed down, and it was not only the final broken team that slowed down, but even the main body of the combined team was in trouble.
At the end of the team, it was the wolf demon who had fallen into a bloodthirsty state, and on the two wings of the team, it was the transformed scarlet demon that was difficult to get rid of easily, and outside of these transformed scarlet demons, the demons flapped their wings and moved forward quickly, and from time to time there were fluctuations in the power of space.
The demon is worthy of being the ruler of an alien race, as you can see from here.
The wolf demons are chasing, the scarlet demons are flanking, and the demons must go around to the front of the united team and cut off the retreating way of life!
"The three-point team obeys orders!" Matt yelled.
"Interfere with the demons' advance! Don't let them go to the front of the big army! ”
After receiving the order, the crowd, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately took action.
Since it's interference, there's no need for close contact.
It's not that everyone in the third team doesn't have hot weapons, it's just that they usually have fewer opportunities, but it doesn't mean that they can't be prepared.
At this moment, everyone, including Matt, took their rifles from their chests and hurried to stop them.
It is said to be a rifle, but it is not less powerful than a normal sniper rifle, and although it is difficult to kill demons, it can also cause some interference to them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire rang out. Not only the third team, but the rest of the people, except for the one responsible for clearing the enemy at close range, pulled out their hot weapons.
The range of the gun is much farther than that of a slashing blade, and it is also much longer than the range of a demon.
A demon had just used the power of space to leap forward when he was hit in the head.
"Gan! This group of humans ......"
Before the words could be spoken, another shot passed through his cheek.
Even the demon did not have such a high defense on his cheek, and a blood flower suddenly bloomed.
"Gan! I can't take it anymore! ”
The nine-hundred-powerful demon vibrated its wings in rage, and it passed over the transformed Scarlet Devil on the ground and headed towards the Human Engine Warrior.
Not only him, but also nearly a dozen or so powerful demons also rushed over.
Although the rifle did not cause them much damage, the humiliation was unbearable for these demons who had always been high.
