Chapter 10: Erosion, and the First Mission
At the beginning, Nangong Rong really thought that the alliance had specially painted their demonic beasts, but as the other party got closer, the young man soon found that this was not the case. The eerie fuchsia didn't look like a color that humans could reconcile, and it didn't even exist in nature, and it was chilling like something that only existed in nightmares.
If it's just like that, it's nothing.,Maybe it's a big artist on the side of the alliance who has newly developed a kind of paint and color to sponsor the army.,But the fact is that even the appearance of the monsters has changed dramatically compared to the past.,Although you can barely see their original appearance, they have all become very distorted.,Some white bone spurs have been drilled out of the body on the back.,No matter how you look at it, it's not a normal existence.。
"What the hell is that, it's completely different from ordinary magical beasts, hey!" Even if he was as calm as Nangong Rong, under the strong impact of the hellish scene in front of him and the strange things that seemed to be hellish creatures, he couldn't help but go crazy, and held his watch tightly in front of him and asked, "What did the alliance do to them!?"
"The allies you call are actually victims, and they don't know that all of this is a pre-planned trap. But now it's too late to say anything, and these guys only see the power and convenience of the monster in their eyes, but ignore the potential threat. The system seems to know something hidden in a deeper shadow, but it doesn't mean to say it, and suddenly swiped out an extremely eye-catching bright red subtitle that almost blinded the young man's kryptonite dog's eyes, "Now start to release the first task, give the system a serious and careful look!"
Nangong Rong was suddenly puzzled: "Task, wait a minute, why did you issue a task to me, and I don't seem to have the obligation or need to complete it, right?"
"What a little ghost without a dream, don't you know that there are many people who eventually become peerless powerhouses by constantly doing system tasks to obtain various rewards? Oh yes, I forgot that you guys are not very interested in power, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the things rewarded by this system will not make you a dragon Aotian, but it is better to say that my designer did not intend to let the person who got the device get even half a pack of spicy strips from the beginning. ”
At this time, the poor boy was finally completely stunned by the system, and wondered very puzzled: "If you are not designed to provide strength to others, then what is the use?"
All the features offered by the devices controlled by this system are related to auxiliary combat, but none of them allow you to stand on the front lines and fight the enemy yourself, you must find your teammates and assist them in defeating them. If you encounter an enemy alone without a companion by your side, you should wait for your death. ”
It is reasonable that if other people are replaced, although they will feel pain in the egg that they can only assist and cannot fight, they can be forced by the current situation to grit their teeth and admit it, but Nangong Rong shook his head firmly and refused without hesitation after reading the subtitles: "Let me go and help them behind those soulless asses, and help them win the battle and gain fame, but I deliberately ignore and ignore the role I played in the battle, and then continue to ride on the head of our Han people?
"Wait, wait, don't rush to throw me out just yet. Although I don't know what you have experienced in the past that makes you reluctant to lend a helping hand to others, it is not too late to take a look at the situation on the battlefield first, and if you keep me by your side, one more skill may be able to save your life at a critical moment?
Helping others is of course a virtue, but as a premise, the object of help must be a "person". Nangong Rong silently recited a sentence in his heart, and did not say it, but changed the topic and asked, "It doesn't matter what happens to this kind of thing." So back to the point, what exactly is the mission?"
"Assist the troops of your own faction in defeating the invading enemy. I've just arrived at this plane, and many of the circumstances are not clear, so if you want to investigate, you must have a relatively stable environment, and if your forces are defeated, there will definitely be a lot of chaos, which is obviously not possible. So, even if you don't want to, I have to issue such a task. ”
"At the end of the battle, you have to tell me everything you know, such as why the Alliance's newly developed monsters are dangerous traps. The young man took a deep breath and made up his mind, "How about it, okay?"
"Deal. And even if you don't intend to ask, I'll find an opportunity to tell you that the designer sent me to this plane to warn you. ”
At this point in the conversation, Nangong Rong suddenly felt a little strange, and couldn't help but tilt his head and ask, "There is another question, why did you fall directly in front of me? I bet this is definitely not a coincidence, is it intentional?"
"Of course, it was deliberate, the designer-sama happened to see you when he was choosing a place to put it, and then he thought it was funny for a guy who had lost his mount on a tragic battlefield and calmly watched the battle between the two sides instead of fleeing to his own position in a panic, so this system appeared in front of you. ”
“...... Let's talk about mission-related matters. What kind of features can you offer me?"
Ignoring the embarrassment on the young man's face, the system first typed the word "cough", and then unhurriedly swiped the subtitles and said: "Considering the current situation of this land, the [Divine Protection] skill system will help you maintain it for free, and you don't need to worry about being roasted by the hot ground at all." However, you can't use this advanced skill on others, and there are only two functions that the system is open to you to use on your own. The first is the Healing Technique, which can deal with some minor injuries, and the second is the Blessing Technique, which can slightly increase the defense of the targeted target. ”
Nangong Rong couldn't help but suddenly burst with black lines on his head: "That's all?"
"Don't underestimate these skills, you must know that adding blood and defense is the most basic housekeeping skill of the auxiliary profession, without them just relying on control and talking about your sister's assistance, it is better to be a tank that starts the group first. ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but I always feel like it's powerful and reasonable, so be it. ”
At this time, the Warcraft troops of the empire and the alliance finally faced each other head-on and launched a fierce battle, what is shocking is that the Warcraft of the alliance showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the second class of the academy is the trainees of the class with a large number of talents and a large number of ordinary people as the main force of the troops, and the Warcraft controlled by the students are not opponents at all;
The Alliance's artillery had stopped firing at the battlefield, because the two Demonic Beasts were fighting in close combat, and it was easy to cause accidental injuries if they launched another artillery bombardment, and the Empire did the same, but there were still some slight differences with the other side, because they quickly sent the long-range artillery type Demonic Beast troops that were originally hidden on the inside of the imperial capital's city walls to the vicinity of Nangong Rong's location.
At this distance, those creatures with strange ejection organs on their backs will be able to deliver "precision strikes" within visual range, although the blows are enough to make people can't help but pinch a cold sweat.
As for the strongest third class of the academy, that is, the top class led by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Octavier, they rode the dragon mount specially prepared for them by Matthias to launch a surprise attack on the enemy from the air, causing a lot of confusion on the other side and creating a lot of opportunities for the students of the second class to divide and encircle.
Nangong Rong, who was doing nothing to do, looked at the battle situation in which the alliance forces were gradually suppressed, and suddenly felt that his move to take over the task issued by the system with great determination and consciousness was very ridiculous.
So the boy held the watch up in front of him again: "Can I go back to wash and sleep?"
"Don't say such extremely decadent words casually, this is the exclusive line that deceived the little white face of the princess of our princess over there. "The system typed [=_=|||After such a strange expression, the subtitle was changed to a striking red to remind Nangong Rong to say, "Put on your watch and get ready, the show is about to begin...... No, it's fair to say that you'll be able to see the real horror of the other person right away. ”
Nangong Rong, who was suspicious, put the watch on his left wrist according to the meaning of the system, and when he wanted to continue to ask something, an extremely poignant and sharp scream suddenly sounded in the direction of the battle between the two sides.
As the controller of Warcraft, it is indeed a sad thing for the mount to die in battle, but it is better than losing your own life. Due to the underestimation of the combat power of the allied Warcraft at the beginning, the second class suffered a lot of losses when they first came into contact, and many mounts were hung up, or even hung up directly.
This in itself is not a big deal, after all, the most critical students are not damaged, they have not even scratched their epidermis. After returning to the imperial capital after the battle, you can get another mount and continue to go to the battlefield alive.
As for the slain monsters, they will be pulled back to the furnace again. At this point, the empire has long been in a situation of resource shortage, and of course such a good thing as recycling and environmental protection must be done.
However, none of the mounts killed by the Alliance's Warcraft today will be able to recover, as they have collectively joined the Alliance's side.
In ancient myths, people who have been bitten by vampires will become vampires in extreme time, and there is basically no way to save them. When he was a child, Nangong Rong didn't take it to heart after hearing these scary stories, but he never imagined that he would one day be able to witness something similar to this happening with his own eyes.
The corpses of the demonic beasts that fell to the ground were dyed with a strange purple color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then they convulsed violently and moved again. The controllers who hid inside their mounts to avoid being accidentally injured in the battle let out a terrible howl and scream, as if they were in great pain.
No one knew exactly what had happened to them, and it must have been pretty scary anyway - just like the accident that happened when the Allies were first tinkering with a new type of Monster when the mount devoured and digested the controller within.
The resurrected monster quickly joined the alliance and launched a fierce attack on its former comrades, and in the process, it was even mixed with the desperate and painful cries of its controllers, completely destroying the morale and will of the Imperial forces in just a moment. To make matters worse, it didn't take long for the same changes to occur on the mounts that had been injured by the purple beast, and the battle line collapsed unsurprisingly.
"This, what the hell is going on!?" Nangong Rong, who was watching all this from afar, was already in a cold sweat with horror, and even his body trembled slightly, "Why is there such a terrifying existence, it is no longer a product of nature at all!"
"Artificial monsters are also not a product of nature, and the Alliance has only strengthened them with something more unnatural. Keep in mind what you see now, this phenomenon is called erosion, and it is completely contrary to the laws of nature. Boy, if you continue to use the device in your hand, you will definitely encounter more or even stronger monsters in the future than these monsters in front of you, but this system assures you that the device can provide effective resistance to erosion and help others fight these monsters on a par with them, so as to avoid the destruction of the world by monsters. So, are you willing to take on such a responsibility?"
It was only then that Nangong Rong realized what the meaning of the watch he had picked up, and he suddenly felt a little out of breath in his chest.
In fact, the young man was a little happy to see those guys who were usually high up in the attack of the purple red ** beast panicked and cried wolf, and even had the idea of not saving him. But reason told Nangong Rong that he shouldn't and couldn't do this, otherwise after the guys in front of him fell, it would be him who would be the worst.
In addition, there is his father and that remote hometown village, the simple and kind fellow is probably the only person Nangong Rong knows who will not talk nonsense because of his own nationality, but now it is controlled by the alliance that produced this terrifying purple red ** beast.
"It seems too early to say yes, but at least there's a battle ahead of me that I have to fight. Nangong Rong raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, lowered his voice and said with a serious face, "After completing this initial task, it's not too late to think about it carefully." ”
"No problem, Sao Nian, although don't worry, go on boldly!"
