The 434th Assault of the Trial

"Woo~Boom~"

The eclipse cult's characteristic burst of fire crossbow arrows made a screeching noise, attacking Aloy and the others without any preparation.

There were about a hundred Eclipse cultists in ambush in the snowy mountains, and counting the warriors sent by the eldest mother to protect the young people, there were less than twenty Nora people in total.

In the first round of attacks, adult Nora warriors were targeted, and exploding firebolts inflicted massive damage.

"Dada-da-da!"

The continuous humming of heavy machine guns resounded from the snowy mountains, and only the nora people with bows and arrows were powerless to fight back under the suppression of high-tech weapons, and the battle could be described as a massacre.

Yongzhen set off with Lu Xiao's approval, and with the help of a small number of plants on the mountain, he quietly approached the direction of the Eclipse Sect's ambush.

Lu Xiao also took off the small black stick mounted on the armor of his right arm, shook his right hand and changed it into a longbow form, and aimed the bow and arrow at the Eclipse Cultists who were killing on a large scale.

"With an absolute superiority in numbers and firepower, he also took an ambush so cautiously, and occupied the terrain advantage in advance."

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Eclipse Cultists who were standing on a high place and launching a long-range attack: "This guy Ciris is worthy of being a general, he intends to get the greatest result at the lowest cost." ”

With mental calculations or unintentional, coupled with the huge difference in strength between the two sides, there was no suspense in this battle from the beginning.

If no one had helped the young people of the Nora clan who had participated in the trials, they would undoubtedly all die here, including the special Aloy.

Yongzhen, who was buried in the enemy circle, took the lead in attacking, and Lu Xiao saw the light of the sword coming out of the sheath at the same time, and his hand began to pull the magic bowstring uninterruptedly.

"Whoosh!"

The ambush circle chosen by the Eclipse Cultists could overlook the Nora people who were hiding in a hurry from a high vantage point, but they were not targets in Lu Xiao's eyes.

Lu Xiao stood tall on a mountain platform, with a difference of at least 500 meters from the Eclipse Sect's encirclement.

With the aid of clairvoyance and the calculation of ballistic trajectories, he shoots magic arrows that can accurately hit enemies below in the snow.

There is no need to use Aletya's special armor-piercing arrows against flesh and blood humans, these Eclipse cultists who cover their faces are not very strong, as long as they hit the vital point, they can be eliminated with a single arrow.

"Da Da Da!"

Unable to see their target, the Eclipse turned their heavy machine guns in the direction where the arrows flew out, and fired their blind guns in the snowstorm.

If Lu Xiao was shooting arrows near the Eclipse Cultists, the fire suppression of the heavy machine guns might be able to play a certain role, but unfortunately, the Eclipse Cultists did not know Lu Xiao's exact location, and all the attacks were hit in the air.

Youngjin swam and attacked as light as a swallow under the cover of the wind and snow, ignoring the heavy machine-gun enemies and focusing on disarming Aloy and the others from the firepower.

"Ugh!"

Lu Xiao did not disappoint Yongzhen, and several Eclipse cultists with heavy weapons were shot off one by one by arrows that seemed to have eyes.

The enemy who wanted to pick up heavy weapons from the ground was also targeted by Lu Xiao, and the predicament faced by Aloy and the others was somewhat alleviated.

Lu Xiao shot the live target below, and at the same time turned on the Eagle Eye Technique with all his strength to find the whereabouts of Siris.

Perhaps because the development of events was seriously inconsistent with the plan, Siris did not appear on the scene.

"Wow! Wow! ”

The sound of wings flapping suddenly came from Lu Xiao's head, and the sixth sense given by the Isu bloodline made Lu Xiao's hair stand on end all over his body, and he subconsciously dodged backwards with his feet.

"Click!"

The icy cold air mass fell on the place where Lu Xiao was standing before, and at this time, Lu Xiao noticed that more than a dozen flying mechanical beasts had appeared above the mountain at some point.

These flapping metal wing-flying mechanical beasts are medium in size, and they should not be the overlord storm birds of the sky.

"Lightning Eagle? And ......"

The lights on the heads of these lightning eagles are red, and unlike the normal attack lights, this red is mixed with some strange black lines.

The swarms of lightning eagles didn't give Lu Xiao much time to think, and with the advantage of air-to-ground, they frequently extracted energy from the freezing tank and launched a wild bombardment on Lu Xiao below.

Lu Xiao dodged the attack of the lightning eagle while calmly making a guess: "A mechanical beast controlled by the Eclipse Sect? ”

With Focus's assistance, Lu Xiao saw the freezing jar mounted on the Lightning Eagle's abdomen, which should be the source of their cold breath.

Aiming at one of the lightning eagles in motion, the powerful dynamic vision allowed Lu Xiao to predict its movements in advance.

"Whoosh! Syllable! ”

The Freezer Jar was shattered by a magic arrow, and the cold air that erupted caused a backlash, freezing Lightning Eagle's body.

Unable to flap its wings, the lightning eagle fell stiffly from the sky and smashed right on several Eclipse cultists.

If you find the right way to deal with it, the rest of the battle will be much easier.

Lu Xiao, who was busy shooting down the Lightning Eagle, had no time to support Yongzhen for the time being, so he instructed Yongzhen through Focus, telling her to retreat for the time being, keep her distance and kill the enemy with long-range attacks.

Yongzhen is not Lu Xiao, there is no infinite regeneration magic furnace in her body, and in this world where the magic element is inert, she does not plan to forcibly cast a spell to attack.

Archery was also an important part of the samurai's training, and Eijin was once taught by Isshin.

Retrieving a Japanese-style longbow from the Demon Refining Pot, Yongzhen drew the bowstring to the fullest as he retreated, preemptively striking before the Eclipse Cultists could attack.

Ciris, who was hiding in the shadows to observe the situation, was very angry, he did not expect that he had planned so carefully and would encounter a change.

"Retreat!"

Seeing that the tide was turning, Siris forced himself to calm down and used Focus to give orders to the surviving Eclipse cultists.

"There are not many enemies hiding in the shadows, so while they are busy dealing with the threat of the lightning eagle, immediately retreat into the depths of the snowy mountains!"

Although Lu Xiao wanted to follow these Eclipse cultists to find the whereabouts of Siris, the lightning eagles who were "spitting" everywhere stopped him like crazy.

Yongzhen only had time to shoot a few of the enemies who were dragging behind, and under the command of Siris, the Eclipse Cultists turned and fired back at Yongzhen, relying on the flaming arrows fired by their numerical superiority to temporarily suppress Yongzhen.

"Boom!"

The last lightning eagle that fell to the ground was hit by Lu Xiao with the Xuanyuan sword, and the sound of machinery in the snowy mountains finally died down.

A closer look can reveal that there is a strange energy flowing within the metal bodies of these lightning eagles, and this red-black streamer makes Lu Xiao dare not touch it easily.

Using the Rune Rune to strip out some of the energy and temporarily seal it, Lu Xiao solemnly looked at the unknown light band that was still moving in the seal.

"What the hell is this? Can it corrupt automatons? ”

At the end of the battle, Yongzhen glanced at the Nora people hiding behind the mountain and rock bunker from a high place, and quietly disappeared to meet Lu Xiao.

Although Lu Xiao and Yongzhen came to their aid in time, there were only two of them after all, and it was impossible for them to protect the safety of the Nora clan while killing the enemy.

Many Nora people were killed in the initial attack, and only five survived the battle, almost all of them wounded, and Aloy was one of them.

While the rest of the clan were busy treating the wounded, Aloy left the group and nimbly leaped to one of the Eclipse cultists she had shot with her own hands.

"This is?!"

Aloy looked at the Focus on the corpse's ears in amazement, and her worldview was shocked.

Aloy hadn't seen a second person with the same equipment since getting the Focus.

The Orin she met not long ago surprised her, but at least the other party had no ill intentions.

The scene in front of her made Aloy doubt her own preconceived notions.

'Could it be that Focus is something common outside of Nora territory?' ’
