"These birds are really annoying." Estes raised his hand and controlled thousands of ice spikes to fly through the air, piercing through the swarm drones that flew towards them from different directions.

Boom Boom Boom!

The explosion rang out again, and the terrifying flames and shockwaves shattered the surrounding ice spikes.

After these ten minutes of high-intensity fighting, now the special security forces have been more or less injured to varying degrees, except for the strongest Esdes.

Among them, the most seriously injured was Porus, who had no protection, and suffered burns of varying degrees all over his body, while the entire palm of his left hand was blown up by a drone's self-exposure.

The pioneer troops also had a large number of wounded, and in just ten minutes, 30 pioneers were severely damaged and had to use positioning teleportation to leave the battlefield. For example, the body is directly pierced by ice spikes, and the arms or thighs are cut off.

The only good thing is that the Trail Blazers did not die on the spot under the protection of the shield. And there is the water of life hanging for them, giving them time to return to Base 0 to be healed by the elven archmage.

Wu Feng used the tactical helmet to check the situation of the remaining pioneers and the number of swarm drones.

The remaining mission targets in the Imperial Capital have all been killed by the self-detonation attack of the swarm drones, and now the only surviving mission target is Minister Ornest.

But Bud has not left the palace until now, and our forces are gradually decreasing. If Budd is still not lured out of the palace after another ten minutes, then he can only temporarily retreat and start the third plan.

Judging from the situation, it was the Pioneer troops who used their own flight capabilities and swarm drone swarms to completely suppress the special security forces. It is not to let these high-class strong people advance, nor is it to retreat.

For the most part, they can only defend passively, enduring round after round of bombardment.

At this time, everyone in the special security forces looked discouraged and wounded, and they looked very embarrassed, but in fact, they had replaced half of the pioneers.

Estes controls the other members of the special security force under the cover of ice that can withstand two explosions, relying on their superior physical fitness. Constantly looking for opportunities to attack the Pioneer troops, causing one Pioneer to suffer heavy losses and leave the battlefield.

One of the biggest troubles for the Pioneer forces is the combination of Lan and Tazmi, who have flying imperial tools. They approached the Pioneer forces at breakneck speed through the flying abilities provided by the Emperor's Flying Miles, and then Tazmi unleashed that terrifying blade of light, smashing one Pioneer after another.

In the beginning, the Pioneer troops were able to teleport through the number of times engraved magic space to dodge the attacking light blades. However, the number of times the inscription magic can be used several times, and after using the spatial teleport three more times, they can no longer perform spatial teleportation.

Faced with this situation, at first, the Trailblazer took out the Dragon 16 high-explosive rocket launcher behind him to give them a shot, but all these rockets flying towards the two were blocked by Estes controlling ice spikes one by one.

The remaining Griffin, who has the ability to stop him, needs to be prepared for the high-level magic reflection realm at all times, and beware of the dragon breath shot from the white bone dragon below.

In this way, Tazmi and Lan managed to attack the Pioneer forces three times, causing 11 Pioneer to suffer heavy losses and leave the battlefield for treatment.

But fortunately, the system later reappeared and stopped the attack of the two.

In fact, in the face of this situation just now, the most ideal way is to quickly pull away and retreat temporarily. But if this is the case, the firepower of the pioneer troops is too far away to suppress the special security forces, and it is easy for this group of high-level powerhouses to escape.

If this group of high-class powerhouses escaped, then the operation would be in vain. Not to mention that the Pioneer forces had just received the news that Bud had left the palace, so they couldn't retreat.

Now the mission has entered the final stage, dragging the special security forces and Bud for ten minutes, giving time for the night attack to kill Minister Ornest.

Now, even if all the people are killed at any time, without the order to retreat, the Pioneer troops will not take a step back. The mission was one step away from success, and the Pioneers themselves were not willing to retreat, even if it would cost them their lives.

The mission is above all else, and as long as the mission can be completed, the pioneer will use any method and sacrifice anything, even his own life.

Wu Feng used the communication channel: It is expected that Bud will arrive at the battlefield in half a minute, and the target's ability is to control thunder and lightning, although the equipment on our bodies is coated with an insulating layer, but we cannot guarantee that the insulating layer can withstand the violent thunder and lightning energy.

Everyone prepares the Dragon 16 high-explosive bazooka, wait a minute the target comes, give him a surprise.

Given the order, the Pioneers reduced the frequency of their attacks.

Boom Boom!

The special security forces below who were under bombardment also felt the frequency of the attack of the pioneer forces, and suddenly decreased.

"Is it because you're running out of ammunition?" Estes looked at him suspiciously.

Thump!

At this moment, the black pupil standing in front of the white bone dragon suddenly fell. She was still looking as usual just now, her eyebrows wrinkled deeply, and drops of sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she was in great pain.

Will, who was in charge of protecting the black pupils, immediately noticed his scene and quickly crouched down to check the situation.

"What's wrong with you?!"

Looking at the black pupils who fell to the ground with an extremely painful expression, Will was a little panicked and didn't know what to do.

The rest of the security forces also noticed the situation, but they didn't come to check it out, and they still stood at their posts. It's not that they don't care about the safety of their peers, it's that they don't have any medical knowledge. There is no point in checking in the past, but it will give those black iron birds around them a chance.

At this time, a black hole suddenly appeared on the chest of the white bone dragon standing behind the black pupil. The black hole then rapidly expanded, engulfing the Bone Dragon, and then vanished.

Obviously, the current state of the black pupil is no longer able to maintain the existence of the white bone dragon.

Boom Boom Boom!

The explosion rang out again, and the grenades and rockets that were falling from the sky were blocked by the ice shield above their heads. The black iron birds around them did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack them like before, but continued to hover in the air.

Everyone noticed that from just now, the frequency of the enemy's explosive attacks had suddenly decreased.

After fending off the attack, Estes turned to the side of the black pupil, leaned down, and stretched out his right hand to place the white neck of the black pupil.

Will next to him looked anxious, but he knew he couldn't make a noise to disturb the captain now.

After a few seconds, Estes withdrew his right hand and sighed.

"Captain, Black Hitomi, what the hell is wrong with her? It was fine just now, why did it suddenly collapse? Did you get caught by some kind of enemy attack? Will asked anxiously.

Estes shook his head and said, "Black Hitomi didn't fall because of an enemy attack, but because of herself. ”

"What is the reason? Could it be that Black Hitomi was born with some kind of disease? Will continued.

"Black Hitomi was born with no diseases, otherwise her strength would not have reached this point." Estes glanced at the girl on the ground with her eyes closed and her expression extremely painful.

"Black Hitomi was born in the assassination unit, and the members of the assassination team except for a very small number of extremely good people, the vast majority of the others have to receive drug reinforcement since childhood. This drug enhancement can give them great strength, but it will also destroy their bodies, shorten their lifespan, and constantly need to take an antidote on a daily basis. ”

"If they don't take this antidote, they will first have pain all over their body, and then their bodies will slowly collapse and die. And every time they take this antidote, it will also make their bodies age rapidly. ”

"What?!" Will looked incredulous, he never thought that the black pupil turned out to be from the Imperial Assassination Force.

This is impossible, if the black pupil is from the imperial assassination force, why don't I usually feel the murderous aura of the black pupil? And Black Hitomi didn't act like the madmen of the Imperial Assassination Force, who only knew killing.

And I've been with Hitomi for so long, I haven't seen any drugs that Hitomi has taken, and the most she usually eats are her little biscuits.

Wait, Will's pupils shrank, and a guess appeared in his heart.

"Captain, is the medicine that Hitomi usually takes her bag of cookies that she never shares with us?" Will asked.

Estes nodded and replied, "Yes, that's the antidote to the black pupils." ”

"Is it okay to take the antidote?" Will hurriedly looked at the waist of the black pupil, but did not see the cloth bag where she usually hung the snack with the black pupil written on it. "Why is it gone? Could it be that he just fought? Or did it fall into the church? ”

Looking at Will's panicked expression, Estes scolded, "Will! Cheer up, the black pupil is not dead yet, and now that he is in a fighting state, don't put on this panicked look! ”

When Estes said this, Will immediately reacted, knowing that he had just lost his temper.

"I'm sorry, Captain." Will quickly adjusted his state, and he himself knew how dangerous his panicked state was in this battle.

"Very well, you are a qualified fighter." Estes nodded with satisfaction, and then comforted: "Don't worry, Hei Tong has already taken medicine in the morning." It's just that because the battle just now was too fierce and the consumption was too great, it didn't cause life danger if it happened early. ”

Estes got up, used the power in his body again, and waved his hand back.

Whew! Bang bang bang!

Countless ice spikes protruded from the sides of the icicles again, piercing several swarm drones that were coming this way.

Boom Boom!

A deafening explosion sounded, and the Ice Spike 80 that had just been created was shattered by the shock wave. Although there were only a dozen of the thousands of ice spikes that stabbed these black iron birds, the other ice spikes seemed to be redundant and a waste of energy.

This is mainly due to the fact that these black iron birds are flying too fast, and Estes must use an overwhelming ice spike attack to stab these iron birds.

Estes didn't want to save that energy by letting these annoying iron birds explode through the Ice Spike Forest to them. With the power of these iron bird explosions, none of her subordinates could withstand it except Estes herself.

After dealing with a few sneak attack iron birds, Estes continued: "Although Black Pupil is not in danger of his life now, he has also lost his ability to fight, and it is too dangerous to stay here any longer. ”

Estes then stomped forward, and the next moment, a two-person wide ice hole suddenly appeared on the top of the icicle in front of her.

"Will, you now take the Black Hitomi out of the battlefield from here and return to the location of the special security forces, and the Black Hitomi has a spare medicine in the room." Estes ordered.

"But, Captain" Will hesitated a little, his companions were still fighting and exciting, and he left alone, this was not an escape.

"Nothing, you don't have a ranged attack, and you can't move as fast as Tazmi. Your duty from the beginning was to protect the black pupils, and now that the black pupils have fallen, you will only be a target if you stay here. Estes said.

Although the battle looks scorching now, Estes knows that they have won. As long as the current rhythm is maintained, Estes is sure to freeze the group of shameless guys above into ice sculptures one by one.

Will can't play his due strength at all in this kind of air combat, and instead of staying here and being beaten, it is better to let him go back with the black pupil to get the medicine.

"And with the black pupil staying here in this state now, as long as the slightest attack affects her, it is likely to kill her."

"Will, now take the black pupil out of the battlefield, this is the order!"

Will gritted his teeth, reached out and picked up the black pupils with pain on the ground, protected them in his arms, and said, "Obey, captain!" ”

With that, Will leapt into the bottomless ice cave.

This is, Estes suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the palace, turned his head to look, and saw a cloud of thunder and lightning rapidly approaching this side.

The corners of Estes' mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "I didn't expect that old stubborn to leave the palace and come to support me." With the old stubbornness, I'm more sure to catch that bastard, and see how you get out of my palm this time. ”

Estes put her hands on the ice, and the power of her whole body began to surge, and a terrifying cold air erupted from her body.

Swish!

A blue light swept across the entire world in an instant, and then disappeared without a trace, seemingly unchanged.

The pioneer troops above the sky also noticed the thunder and lightning, and all the pioneers picked out the Dragon 16 high-explosive rocket launcher behind them according to the plan just now. Aim at the lightning bolt and pull the trigger.

Woohoo blah blah!

Dozens of high-explosive rockets flew out with orange flames.

Bud saw the unknown objects flying like him, and subconsciously turned around, intending to avoid these unknown objects flying towards him.

Swish! Whew!

The huge lightning bolt made a sharp turn in the air, avoiding the path of the rockets.

Just when Bud thought he had avoided those UFOs, dozens of rockets suddenly made a turn and crashed into him.

"What!?" Bud looked stunned, this thing will still turn?

Then Bud reacted immediately, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and used the strength of his whole body.

Whew!

A circular shield composed of lightning instantly formed, and then rapidly expanded to block those UFOs.

Before Bud could breathe a sigh of relief, a flash of fire appeared, and the rockets in front of him exploded at the same time.

Boom Boom Boom!

An explosion sounded, and the flames converged to form a larger flame, and Bud's figure was engulfed in flames at once.

Above, the Pioneer troops did not let their guard down when they saw the speeding lightning engulfed in flames. Instead, after the rocket is filled, aim and buckle the plate again.

Woohoo blah blah!

Dozens of high-explosive rockets flew out again with orange flames, flying towards the flames that had not yet dissipated.

Just as the first explosion was rising, a huge ice spike 5 meters thick stretched out from the side of the huge icicle, reaching for Bud's location.

Whew!

Just in the nick of time, the ice spike arrived at Bud's location before the rocket belt arrived. The tip of the ice spike then opened to form a huge ball of ice that engulfed Bud.

Boom Boom Boom!

Dozens of high-explosive rockets slammed into the puck, and then the flames rose again.

Whew!

Before the flames dissipated, the next moment a bolt of lightning burst out of the flames, approaching like an icicle where Estes was.

The lightning fell on the icicle, and then the lightning dissipated, and everyone saw a burly man. It's just that now this man looks very embarrassed, his bright blonde hair is completely scorched, and his face is black and white.

"Tut-tut, Bud, I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed too." The corners of Estes' mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Bud with interest.

When Estes said this, Bud's face, which had been turned white and black by the explosion, was instantly pulled down.

"Humph!"

The explosion just now was more powerful than Bud expected, and even if he defended himself, he was injured a little.

"Hehe, the general should not underestimate the scientific and technological weapons of this group of people, their weapons are not those small steel balls in Western countries. Without any protective measures, if you hit them head-on, even a strong person of your level and me will be injured. Estes reminded.

"There's a very dangerous guy up there, you'd better be careful, or he'll get your head off if you're distracted."

While they were chatting, the pioneer troops above, Wu Feng held an infrared ray on the surface of the ice shield above the icicles.

Bud has joined up with the Special Security Forces and requested fire support.

This is also one of the plans of the Trail Blazers, if Bud arrives to support and join up with Estes. Then the self-propelled guns outside the imperial capital will be aimed here, and through the indication of infrared rays, they will deliver a devastating blow to the enemy.

The military department knew very well that if the firepower of the pioneer troops alone, it might be able to hold back a top Tier 4 powerhouse. But it would be impossible to contend with two top fourth-tier powerhouses, not to mention that neither Estes nor Bud were ordinary fourth-tier powerhouses.

The destructive power of the two is simply a mobile catastrophe, especially in the sky battlefield, Bude's lightning ability is even more lethal. Just the secret technique summoned by that thunder and lightning could gather a lightning storm that enveloped the entire imperial capital. If it is used to attack the Pioneer troops, let alone resist in the face of this lightning storm, whether the Pioneer troops can survive is a question.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the army planned to use the fire of self-propelled guns to annihilate the two mobile disasters of Estes and Bud in one fell swoop. Even if they can't be annihilated, if they can be severely damaged, reducing their combat effectiveness will allow the Pioneer forces to better hold them back.

Outside the imperial capital, self-propelled artillery positions.

Ten self-propelled guns slowly adjusted their muzzles under the control of the soldiers, aiming at the icicle that looked like a pillar of heaven.

Bang bang!

Huge laser-guided missiles soared into the sky and flew towards the pillar-like icicle in the distance.

These laser-guided missiles are not rocket-like gadgets, and their power is definitely not something that can be stopped by an ice shield.
