Chapter 146: The Cause
After the battle with the big man, Ling An and the others stopped for a while.
They summed up each other's shortcomings, as well as the problems they found during the battle, and finally found that it was not necessary for everyone to fight at the same time.
Ideally, no matter how the battle develops, as long as there are allies in sight, he will be able to cooperate with the attack.
Among the crowd, Zorn seemed to be hit, because his performance was really not very good, this guy simply soaked in the training room, and even Lena came to him.
Although the big man promised them that they could train with them a few more times, the third team could not wait for the next group training.
A new mission was given to [Owl].
After the heavy losses in the last mission, after several months of cultivation, the number of [Owl] has finally returned to its original level.
Although the third team of them could barely break away from the title of newcomer and become the seniors in the [Owl], Ling An and the others couldn't be happy.
I just hope that this time, there won't be so many people sacrificed.
Matt is out of the customs, and his combat power has reached two thousand eight.
Ling An was surprised, he thought that Matt's previous savings had been consumed in the period of time after breaking through the barrier, but he didn't expect that it still hadn't reached the limit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our mission this time is to cover for other detachments. This is a cooperation between multiple detachments. Jiang Muye stood at the head of the group, and behind him were five huge mechas.
"The Fifth Legion has added a [Load-Bearing King Kong] to us to ensure that our supplies are sufficient, and the next task is to fight in the eastern part of Mariner's Valley, that is, in the Longnopeng Mountains near the Third War Zone, to cover the actions of other squads."
"Now, let's go!"
Not only the [Owl], but also the [Gray Parrot] who supported the [Owl] last time, a total of ten Fifth Legion squads, thousands of people set off from the rear of the fortress at the same time, pouring into the Red Mist Area from the secret passage.
Although battles on the frontal battlefield occur every day, the battlefield is too big after all, and even if there are thousands of people, it is particularly small in this spatial scale.
After passing through the secret passage, the ten squads quickly dispersed, they were just bait this time, the main purpose was to attract attention and determine the location, and the real mission-critical combat squad had already entered the red fog area.
……
Three days later, in the Longnopeng Mountains.
Dressed in a swarthy carapace and two scythes that shimmered with cold light, this is a metamorphic raider.
It's just that at this moment, the raider looked a little embarrassed, not only the carapace on his body was broken in many places, green blood seeped out of it, and even the two scythes he was proud of had many gaps on the forelimbs.
It wasn't stealthy, its body bouncing over the rough terrain, moving through the red mist at breakneck speed, looking like it was running away.
"Damn humans...... It only took a few dozen seconds for my hind limbs to recover...... The carapace is so damaged that it can't be invisible...... "The Morph Marauders seem to prefer words to express their emotions, gritting their teeth as they flee.
This is not because it still has the strength to escape, but because of the injuries it has suffered, even if it has fled with all its might, the speed is only so fast, and if it does not recover, there is no way to escape the pursuers behind it.
"Bed bugs, what a run! Aren't you very imposing? I hurt our two brothers, and now I want you to take your life!" Behind him, the shouts of hateful human warriors were heard.
The Morph Marauders felt humiliated as they recalled the attack they had been subjected to.
Their raiders are the shadow killers, and only they can shield all sense, silently approach, and kill enemies quickly and powerfully.
But the humans were able to find their place!
Ironically, their own people thought they hadn't been discovered, and were waiting for the humans to get close enough.
Who knew that this group of humans, who seemed to be moving cautiously and obscenely, were actually separated by a distance of dozens of meters. Shoot wildly with their technological weapons. There was also a group of people who copied the back bread in advance, and after strafing, they swarmed up, and their own twenty or so clansmen had no power to resist at all.
Except for its strength that could break out of the encirclement, the rest of the raiders have all died there. With the urine nature of this group of humans, they will not let themselves go.
"I'm dead this time, I've lost my goods, and even if I escape, the demon lords won't let me go." The hearts of the metamorphosis raiders were full of resentment and bitterness, and their twenty or so raiders naturally would not appear here for no reason.
They see humans and know that they don't go it alone. But they still chose to ambush, first, to kill these humans, and second, to attract attention and protect the goods.
Their raiders are only the outpost guards responsible for escorting the goods, and the goods themselves are guarded by strong men, and there are even six demon lords among them.
However, before his own people wanted to sneak attack, they failed after being discovered by humans, and the direction in which they killed all the way was the direction of the large army of goods, because in its perception, there was only one B-class warrior among these humans, and the combat power was just over three thousand, and those six demon lords could deal with it.
In this cargo transport procession, these raiders are nothing more than avant-garde, even if they don't want to admit it, but this is the case.
For example, the wolf demon is a rare race among aliens with an average combat power of more than six hundred.
More than a dozen wolf demons, plus six demon lords, plus the rest of the hundred or so alien races, these thirty or so humans are definitely not opponents.
But what made this metamorphant raider collapse was that when it ran away, it heard the screams of the demon lord, and also felt that it was close to twenty extremely strong energy fluctuations, at least at the B level!
The Morph Marauder had enough intelligence to realize that the Cargo Guard should not be able to escape, and after thinking about it, it might not be able to get rid of these guys chasing behind it, so it immediately decided to flee in a different direction.
That's what it is.
What is hateful is that in this mountain range, there are not too many troops of foreign races, and the nearest barracks here are dozens of kilometers away.
Thinking of this, the Morph Marauders couldn't help but complain a little, if it weren't for a few demon lords who made their own claims, saying that the humans had recently entered the Red Mist Region, and the Longnopeng Mountain Range was not very stable, and they had to go from a secret path, how could they end up like this!
Shout!
A spear of lightning and flint fired, and the Morph Marauder scrambled to dodge, but was still grazed to the waist.
"You run again!"
The red mist surged, and a young human warrior appeared from the side, his face hideous.
The Morph Marauder recognized this human, and it was he who fired the first shot at his own people, and now it is still blocking his own life, and it hates this human so much.
"Human, I'm fighting with you!"
In an instant, the figure of the Metamorph Marauder vanished, and only a trace of green blood swayed in the air in the red mist.
The human warrior was shocked, as if he didn't expect this guy to burst out with such speed, and hurriedly pulled out the short knife from his waist.
While!!
With a crisp metal crash, the human warrior took two steps back, and the one under his feet tripped over a rock, and his body rolled uncontrollably towards the place where he had appeared. A bright red stone fell from him.
The Morph Marauder was wondering how bad this guy was, and was about to chase after him in the spirit of changing one, when his gaze suddenly fell uncontrollably on the bright red stone on the ground, and its movements were a little sluggish.
"Ling An! Hold on, we're here right away! ”
The people who had been chasing this metamorphosis raider had already approached, and their figures were becoming clearer and clearer in the red mist not far away.
The Morph Marauder saw the human warrior rising quickly down the slope, his eyes flashed, and he swooped down on the bright red stone on the ground, actually swallowing it in one gulp.
"Suffered!" The human warriors below the slope were shocked, but instead of attacking, they held their daggers horizontally in front of them, as if facing a great enemy.
After the metamorphant raider swallowed the bright red stone, it seemed that its self-healing ability was instantly dozens of times stronger, and the injuries on its body healed in just a few seconds.
It looked coldly at the human warrior who was frightened into a cold sweat, but it didn't kill the reckless boy, because the humans who were chasing him behind him were about to arrive.
A low roar came out of his mouth, as if to say that he would never let you go, and then the metamorph raider's body quickly vanished.
It went into invisibility and fled.
In its place, the reckless human warrior remained on the alert, as if fearing that the stealthy metamorph raider would avenge his shot.
"Ling An!"
On the hillside, several human warriors appeared in the location where the Avatar Marauder had just disappeared.
"Are you alright?" Cheng Yi slid down the small slope, and on it, Ye Zixu picked up Ling An's Flying Star Spear and threw it to him.
"It's fine." At this moment, Ling An was a little flustered, the corners of his mouth looked in a certain direction, and he turned up slightly.
"Let it go?" A tall blonde man landed and asked.
"Well, although my performance is a little flawed, the effect should be good, that guy is so desperate to run away that he doesn't even try to kill me." A sneer appeared at the corner of Ling An's mouth.
With Matt here, with this raider's mere 500 combat power, if you don't deliberately let it go, can it run?
Matt took a deep look at Ling An, and was a little more shocked by the peculiarity he had shown.
Ling An was actually able to spot the group of looters who were motionless and even had a good hiding of their killing intent.
Even these detachment leaders were only faintly and definitely a little wrong, after all, in this red mist environment, if the raiders were bent on hiding, even Jiang Muye might only be able to sense their presence, but they could not directly find their location.
Of course, Jiang Muye, an A-level warrior, must have other ways to deal with this, even if it is Matt, as long as he is sure that something is wrong here, he can force out these guys by releasing his mountain momentum on a large scale.
But Ling An, according to his own words, was actually able to discuss, and that extremely faint, unique spiritual fluctuation, so as to locate those guys.
"Let's go, it's only a few kilometers away from the main traffic route of the alien race, let's meet the main force first."
"Yes!"
Ling An and the rest of the third team walked all the way in the direction they came.
Letting this guy go, naturally, is their purpose.
The mission of the Owl is to attract the attention of the enemy as much as possible and provide cover for the soldiers who are responsible for finding and destroying the local military camp, and in order to do so, it is necessary to create a false perception of the enemy's own forces.
The B-class fluctuations felt by the metamorph raiders are fake, where are there so many B-class warriors in [Owl], those fluctuations are simulated through the engine of the mecha, if it is a demon, it may be able to tell the difference before you see it, but if it is a metamorph raider, it is almost impossible to tell by perception.
The same goes for the other nine Fifth Legion squads, if all goes well, the enemy will misestimate the human strength here, and by the time they have mobilized enough troops to wipe out these human warriors to the mountains of Lonnopeng, these Fifth Legion squads will have already slipped away.
