Chapter 35 Dust Seal 6
They sensed the breath of life, and so they bared their fangs like poisonous snakes. If they are still regarded as miniature missiles produced by human beings without intelligence and spirituality, then they will inevitably suffer a great loss under their sudden change of tactics. In this war, it basically means paying with lives, as Thomas did.
Oberion flicked his finger, and a tiny electric spark appeared out of thin air in the middle of several miniature missiles, strong electromagnetic fluctuations and touch-like momentum caused the miniature missiles to mistakenly think they had hit their targets, and they began to explode. The power of the chain explosion was very strong, but it no longer had any lethality against Oberyen and the others who were more than ten meters away. They didn't even raise their defensive field, and directly took the shock wave and the dust and sand that came with it. No one gets hurt, they just get themselves dirty. However, even Elena and Persephone, who have always taken their appearance very seriously, are covered in gunpowder and dust, and no matter how much they go, they will not get dirtier. On the battlefield, dirty spots are tolerable, but body and energy are the guarantee of survival. The same goes for Oberen, who has been cleaning up the mechanical bugs with minimal energy expenditure.
The war never ends, but if you can hold on one more day, you will be one day closer to hope.
"These guys have gotten more cunning." Elena said with a frown.
Oberen nodded and said, "Yes." They seem to have changed their intelligence patterns overnight, and hardly like they should be in artificial intelligence. I'm worried that Feng will suffer a loss if they are caught off guard and will not be able to hold the energy factory. So we had to rush over as much as we could. The fuel there is our hope to get through this winter. ”
Elena smiled bitterly and did not answer. This winter? Even she didn't know if there would be a tomorrow. The main force of the mechanical insect tide had already flown over the sky, leaving a group of less than a million insect swarms to besiege the last base of the Arthur family. But these quantities are too many to be desperately large. As a spell-like powerhouse who had already touched the threshold of the tenth order, Elena could destroy hundreds of mechanical insects with a wave of her hand, but she would never swing it a hundred times like this, and the number of mechanical insect swarms was more than 10 million. The gap between them is more than two orders of magnitude.
The heavy pressure and deep despair were not only present to Oberen, Elena, and Persephone, but also to the seven warriors who silently followed them. This is the last mobile force of the Arthur family. The rest of the men were stationed in the various strongholds. By this time of the war, all but a few of the most heavily defended bases were estimated to have been reduced to ruins. Oberen's party had already moved to four bases in a row, clearing out the besieging mechanical units, but the number of soldiers they led had grown from twenty to seven. Although the three of them were not injured, they had no chance to rest and recover at all, so as their bodies and energy were exhausted, they could only watch themselves sink into the abyss of despair.
Oberen had already seen the large swarm of blackened mechanical insects hovering in the distance, and the dense beams of energy even illuminated the sky. From time to time, swaying fireworks rose on the ground, and then turned into violent fireballs in the air. The light of the moment of the explosion even overwhelmed the high-energy beam like rain! Each explosion would cause a large swarm of mechanical insects around him to fall, but seeing the number of falls, Oberen's face did not look good. The return fire from the base was very fierce, but the number of electromagnetic missiles in stock did not last long. Moreover, these high-powered missiles were supposed to be the ultimate weapon against the mechanical insect swarm, but only a few hours after the battle began, each missile destroyed less than one-third of the original number of mechanical insects. On the one hand, the formation of mechanical insect swarms has become more dispersed, and on the other hand, it is possible that the protection method has changed.
In addition to the numbers, the strain of mechanical bugs is equally impressive.
"How many more do you have?" Oberen asked solemnly.
“67%。” Elena said.
"79%," Persephone replied.
High-level people with abilities like them know their physical condition well, and it is completely possible to go to exactly a few decimal places. Hearing Persephone's answer, Elena was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "How fast is it recovering so fast?" ”
"The occult is a bit of an advantage." Persephone replied.
Elena snorted, noncommittal. Her occult rank is still above Persephone, how can she recover less than half as fast as hers? At this time, Elena understood why it would be so hard to hunt down Persephone back then. The perverted ability to restore fù can turn any thought of a protracted battle with Persephone into a complete nightmare.
Oberen's heart was a lot more determined, and he himself still had about half of his body, which was enough to win the battle in front of him with about 20% of the consumption. As for then, I'll talk about it when I'm done.
Persephone suddenly thought of something, and said in a lost voice, "Where does their energy come from?" ”
"Energy?" Oberyen was stunned. His mind was all on the battle situation, and he hadn't thought about it yet.
"yes, energy! Have you ever thought about it, they are basically made of matter on our planet, and in addition to the energy to maintain their operation, they need more and more energy to make them! And considering the number of them, that means these mechanically made guys have an inexhaustible energy! Where do they get their energy? Persephone said.
Oberen's heart moved, and Persephone's words made him vaguely feel that this might be the key to defeating the mechanical bug tide. But then he turned his mind to the battle that was coming. Even if he knew the weakness of the mechanical insect tide, he simply didn't have the strength to fight back. Perhaps hope can only be pinned on those legendary big shots.
For the first time, Dragon City was overwhelmed by the flames of war.
This is the heart of the Bloody Council, a city where a huge amount of resources have been invested, and the prosperity of the dù is almost no less than that of the old era, and the first dù is still more than that. Here, the first generation of environment-changing technologies are being applied one after another, slowly turning the harsh environment into the old era. Perhaps after another hundred years of development, when the application of environmental change technology matures, and the planetary environment becomes suitable for the survival of old humans again, Dragon City will surely become an indelible monument in history.
However, the tide of millions of mechanical insects was like a huge dark cloud, completely covering the sky above Dragon City. With the support of three more than one-kilometer-long energy carriers hovering in the air at a height of 1,000 meters, the locust-like combat unit almost frantically poured high-energy beams into the cities below, and no longer saved miniature missiles at all, each mechanical unit fired all the missiles it carried at the first time, and then fired at the target with high-energy beams.
As the first city of the Bloody Council, Dragon City is also home to the most powerful defenders of the war. Electromagnetic cannonballs exploded in the air like fireworks, and each explosion led to hundreds of fireballs around it, the result of the mechanical bug detonation. At the same time, a large amount of fog is spewing out from hundreds of vents, forming a thick layer of fog over Dragon City, which is a special water mist, which has an extremely strong scattering effect on light, and the high-energy beam often expands to more than ten times after penetrating the fog, which means that the lethality has become less than one-tenth. The best way to deal with the fog is the exploding gas Lng, so the miniature missiles in the sky are falling in dense patches, like hungry and thirsty locusts.
However, there are also a large number of electric balls in the Dragon City, which are released by the powerhouses of the spell-like domain, which can emit a special magnetic field. This magnetic field is almost destructive to a mechanical unit, but it is just right to detonate a miniature missile. As a result, the continuous explosions almost formed a layer of burning sky in the sky above Dragon City, which was spectacular! This is a new spell-like ability, but it only requires a third-order ability, and almost everyone with a spell-like ability can learn it. Not only dragoon privates, but even more advanced servants can cast this spell, and it only takes one stitch or three days to learn it. So now, there are hundreds of spell-like abilities in Dragon City who are desperately casting electric balls into the sky, and the number of electric balls far exceeds that of spellcasters, because those high-level spell-like abilities can release a dozen electric balls at a time.
In addition to the lightning and flames in the air like a doomsday storm, there was also a dense burst of gunfire in the sky above Dragon City. The sound of gunfire is unusual in this war, you must know that ordinary rifles want to deal with the enemy flying in the air of 100 meters, especially mechanical units with small targets and high speed, it is almost impossible, only anti-aircraft guns with explosive fragmentation effect may have some effect. However, the gunfire was unreasonably dense and surprisingly effective. The sky was densely packed with sparks, and the flaming wreckage of the machinery fell from the sky from time to time, smashing on the ground and still burning. These are mechanical combat units that have been shot down by guns, and their outer armor is no different from glass when faced with large-caliber anti-materiel rifle rounds. Just want to fly around in the air with a gun, and most of the combat units are no more than half a meter in size, how easy is it to talk about it? At least the special forces of the old days did not have this level.
However, for those who have the ability to handle weapons, the power of a high-quality rifle is not something that common sense can imagine.
In a certain area of Dragon City, the gunfire is particularly dense, and the sound of gunfire is dull like thunder, which is the unique sound of Bahamut, the iconic anti-materiel sniper rifle of the new era. This 18-caliber sniper rifle is almost the equivalent of a machine gun, with unmatched power and accuracy, and can penetrate the shell of a heavy armored vehicle with ease, with the only drawback being the terrifying recoil. In addition to this, the dead weight of several tens of kilograms is not something that ordinary human soldiers can use. To put it simply, this is a murder weapon tailored specifically for the capable.
The gunfire came from an old, five-story building that was in disrepair and had a dilapidated façade, but a rare greenery on the rooftop, a paved lawn with a tropical-style table and a few chairs, on which a bottle of red wine and a wine glass were placed. At the table stood an old man dressed as a butler, and a beautiful and cold female secretary.
The job of the female secretary was not to pour wine, but to press a large bullet into the magazine. Right in the middle of the roof, Josh. General Morgan stood as steady as a mountain, holding a specially modified elongated Bahamut, shooting into the sky incessantly. Bahamut roared incessantly, the rate of fire of two rounds a second showed an extraordinary burst of fire, and a special magazine with a capacity of fifty rounds should not have been on a sniper rifle at all, but it did appear here. And with Morgan's rate of fire, a magazine would be empty in an instant. Whenever this happens, the female secretary will always hand over a full magazine in time. There was only a slight pause in the gunshots, and then they rang out again in a row, and the sound of gunfire shook the wine glasses on the table.
With every gunshot, a fireball erupts in the sky. Beneath Bahamut's incessant tongue of fire, the mechanical insect swarm above was showing signs of thinning. N
