Chapter 42: The Growing Trio
"Bang ......"
The fierce gunfire, which was completely rhythmic and at all rhythmic, accompanied by obvious sparks and pungent smoke, filled the narrow space of about five meters at the entrance of the cave. The dense crowd of enemies in front of you is almost crowded, and you don't need even the slightest aim at all, as long as you pull the trigger and sweep out, you can hit those tall or short enemies without leaving ten.
After Ye Lin used a missile loaded with a liquid nitrogen warhead to clear the remaining troll-like mandrills from the first wave of enemies that followed, the enemies attracted from all sides by the sound of explosions and fires were like an endless stream of locusts, from the dark forest where the line of sight was difficult to see, and launched a continuous charge against the Phantom team stationed in the cave.
The interval between the cave and the woods for the first fifty meters, in Ye Lin's subsequent incredends, widened to two hundred meters at the widest point, and nearly one hundred meters at the narrowest point. But the strange thing is that the gray forest never caught fire, as if there were a pair of huge invisible arms that extinguished the unbridled flames and heat.
All kinds of goblins gathered from the darkness like death squads, and then frantically swooped towards the cave, their unusually gray-green bodies, and their eyes full of mania and tyranny, but in the face of various firearms shot from a distance, they were simply a bunch of targets without cooperation.
The veterans used the Gauss series of large-caliber individual weapons, combined with a variety of various types of artillery shells, to carry out range test strikes against the hostile targets that were piled up, while the newcomers who used gunpowder weapons were the same. Pick up the bits and pieces of enemies to attack, and wear out those stragglers bit by bit.
The strong atmosphere of the battlefield has allowed the newcomers to quickly apply the virtual combat training they have received in the past few hours, although their own quality is mediocre. The Celestial Empire's Armed Forces Department only occasionally organizes militia to shoot targets, but with the combat assistance system possessed by the nano armor, the aim of these young people is still quite good in the aiming assist mode of the design game.
Of course, this so-called good! Refers to the rationing of ammunition that is consumed without moderation! The newcomers are still frantically carrying out a barrage offensive against a single target that is completely cost-effective, as for how much combat effectiveness these newcomers can maintain after withdrawing all kinds of advantageous advanced combat equipment. There is no value in discussing this issue at all.
However, it is not only newcomers who overcome all kinds of physical and mental pressures in battle and accumulate experience and grow up. After four or five hopeless death charges in a row and lined up to be shot, the ghosts, who had no order at all, were also watered by the continuous death of their companions. Gradually, he began to learn the firearms to face the reincarnations, and even soon vaguely learned the matching battle formations.
The huge mandrill with tenacious vitality is like a tank in the rain of bullets, walking like a flying beyond the front of the cave, and there are a large number of dwarf mountain ghosts behind it. Using the mandrill's massive body as a shield, it quickly moved towards the pitch-black cave in coordination.
In this formation, more than a dozen ghosts and goblins were matched with each other, and there were seven or eight of them in the field of vision from the front of the cave, and at the same time, they died among the corpses between the forest and the cave. Silent, about two meters tall, with short limbs and a ghostly that resembles an orangutan, is lowering its body. Using himself and using the bursts contained in his limbs, he is constantly and flexibly interspersed with running and trying to advance.
The combination of mandrills and dwarf mountain ghosts looks. It seems that the infantry and tans that appeared on the battlefield are coordinated, and those orangutan monsters interspersed among the corpses are undoubtedly skirmishers who use the terrain to roam around. The battle command of the goblins is like a triple jump, and it grows exaggerated in front of the eyes of the reincarnators, but their still crazy and irrational eyes vaguely indicate something else.
…,
The veterans' shells and missiles adjusted their targets and turned to the mandrills, which were the main force for the breakthrough, and the speed of destroying the enemy was greatly slowed down by aiming their guns at the roaming stragglers. The veterans who finally killed this wave of opponents were helpless to find that the enemy was very close to the entrance of the cave.
"Everyone, be on guard! Our opponents seem to be slowly growing! Something or something has taken over their command! The fierce fire reminded the excited newcomers around him, and the expression in his angular face was very solemn, and the tone of his voice was also very solemn and emphasized. Little by little, they are learning how to face our weapons! And the change works! ”
"It's so mysterious! It's not the same as queuing up! And then we shot them one by one! Looking at the corpses that were almost covered with the ground in the field of sight, tall or short, complete or mutilated, immersed in the unique rhythm of the trigger pull and the recoil of the weapon, Zhou Zhichao, who was immersed in the unique atmosphere of blood vessels and hormones, said as a matter of course.
"You didn't notice it! Brat! From the very beginning, the indiscriminate charge! So far, they work with each other! Even the use of the corpses of the war dead! Inch by inch to move forward the tactical use! Those guys out there! It took less than two hours! The alienated vertical silver pupils of the fierce fire were cold, and he glanced at Zhou Zhichao, who was full of words, and then said disdainfully.
"Go ahead with the current situation! Maybe not half an hour! The corpses of those monsters will spread to our feet! There are newcomers who are blinded by successive victories, and there are also pedestrians who still keep a clear head, and although Yu Wenwei, who can't see the words in his eyes, but implies rational worries, there is no doubt that he is the latter of these two people.
Zhou Zhichao, who still had a little resentment on his face, was vaguely glared at Yu Wenwei, who was also a newcomer, through the closed helmet of nano armor. As for the veteran who dominates the topic, the chubby man who hasn't climbed in society for about two years has already learned how to respect those seniors who are far more qualified and powerful than himself.
Zhou Zhichao, who thought that his movements were completely hidden under the armor mask, did not realize the kind of discordant reaction that he clearly revealed from other body details, let alone avoid the veterans who were close to him and felt extremely sensitive.
"Attention everyone! Always ready to be in the unfavorable situation! Retreat to the second line of defense inside the cave!! Zhao Xin's crimson eyes full of strange contradictions. glanced at Zhou Zhichao, who was looking left and right, and then said to everyone in a cold voice. "It doesn't hurt to be cautious! After all, no one would joke with their own lives! ”
"That's right! Be careful! In the interval between battles, the magic and spiritual power consumed before were replenished on Song Yan's round face. It's almost back to its usual rosy feel, she agrees.
Taking advantage of the time when the enemies were gathering, although they seemed to be shooting the enemies who came in line, the newcomers who were still nervous or extremely excited, all rested with their backs against the standard cubes of metal behind them. However, in less than ten minutes, the tall figure of the mandrill appeared again, under the flames of light that illuminated the night.
"Get up! Get up! The enemy is coming! Fierce Fire said calmly and passionately.
Newcomers clutching weapons from the ground. It was not long before they returned to their respective positions, and the veterans were also ready for battle. However, the enemy, who was supposed to charge soon, did not launch the attack that should have appeared, and the eerie silence seemed to be brewing something.
…,
"Yeon-yeon!" Zhao Xin, who felt wrong, said.
There was a hint in the short shout to Zhao Xin. Song Yan's right hand, which was tacitly sensed, let go of the weapon in her hand, and hid it under her sleeve again in the droop, and she completed the silent spell in an instant when she pressed her eyes, and then the magic eye was blessed into her pupils.
"The other side is gathering more troops! Judging by the current range of sights! The speed of the other party has exceeded more than a thousand! And the entire front stretched for at least a kilometer or so! Song Yan, who was frowning, looked very nervous. But he still said clearly and clearly: "It's a pity! We have too few people! Otherwise, there shouldn't be any pressure to eat these guys! ”
Zhao Xin, Menghuo, and Ye Lin were silent, while Yu Wenwei, He Qin, Tan Jian, and Zhou Zhichao also seemed to have entered a state of speechlessness. But at this moment, the ghosts who had been premeditated for a long time were finally roaring with a suppressed restless killing atmosphere. Stepping out of the blackened border ahead, a mighty moving wall thrust forward.
"Our firepower superiority! Face this level of enemies! It has been greatly restricted! It's like the Soviet Union and Germany during World War II. Even though many of the latter's weapons were possessed, they had an extremely strong technical advantage in that era. However, the production constraints ultimately led to the failure of these technical advantages to translate into military superiority for victory. ”
"And in the current situation, the best way is to take advantage of the fact that the enemy still has a certain distance from the enemy after killing the current enemy, and retreat to a cave with a narrower defensive surface, and further use the environment to compress the enemy's numerical advantage." Looking at the enemy in front of him who seemed to have no end in sight, Tan Jian, who couldn't see the hope of victory, proposed.
Although Yu Wenwei, He Qin, and Zhou Zhichao didn't look at each other, and the expressions on their faces were covered by armored masks, from the eyes they looked at the veterans, Zhao Xin, Song Yan, Fierce Fire, and Ye Lin could clearly feel that the confidence created by the successive killings just now was being shaken by the seemingly extremely bad situation in front of them, and the impact was not firm and wavering.
"A man can be cowardly! Can be weak! Resilience can be lacking! But I didn't dare to try! But you can't even have no merit at all! Zhao Xin suddenly said a long word to the newcomers. I am happy! You are very self-aware! Start thinking actively! When there is one thing you forget! That's the power to believe in us! ”
"That's great! I love you to death! The fierce fire that instantly put away the weapon in his hand was a thumbs up at Zhao Xin's hands.
The already extremely strong White Russian man, under the gaze of the newcomers, suddenly swelled and pulled up, and the ordinary camouflage clothes he was wearing were instantly torn, shining with beautiful silver tough fur, with the constant howl of releasing pleasure, echoing on the battlefield full of death.
At the same time that the fierce fire completely released the form of the Awakened, the dense bright red was also burning all over Zhao Xin's head in the blink of an eye. Her jet-black and bright silk hair spread out, and her delicate body, wrapped in pure black, flew directly from the ground out of thin air, supported by the red wings stretched out at the back. It is a portrayal of a blood-stained angel.
Compared with the transformation action or domineering or gorgeous companions, Song Yan, who is also a priest and a mage, the body shrouded in white robes with golden lines at the corners, the only conspicuous change is the double eyes that turn into golden flames, but compared to the momentum displayed by Zhao Xin and the fierce fire, the warmth and majesty surrounding her body are the most infiltrated into the hearts of the newcomers.
The four newcomers who have been with each other for several days have changed in vain, and have not yet fully adapted to them. Looking at the trio who moved their positions with their eyes closed at the same time, as if they were connected by some invisible passage from a deeper level for a moment, they finally couldn't help but show surprise and inexplicability. But there is a certain excited and complicated expression.
…,
At the moment when they opened their eyes again, Zhao Xin, Menghuo, and Song Yan were completely different, but they had the power to be deeply communicated by the invisible bridge. The formless and qualitative but powerful momentum that can be truly felt by people is released.
Compared to the time when they fought with Mu Yuchen in the team space, the three people who were combined into the 'Yin and Yang Triad' in the battle again were both from the outward appearance and the deep charm. are at least one level higher than when they are stronger, at least not due to the amplification effect of the formation. As a result, the energy in the body that cannot be fully controlled seems to be powerful and directly overflows to the surface of the body.
The standing position is still Zhao Xin, who is at the forefront of the peak. The fierce fire is the basic pattern of Song Yan on the right and on the left, but the equilateral cone triangle that is deliberately maintained, with the understanding and understanding of the formation by the three of them, no longer needs to be deliberately maintained by each other, but has become an invisible connection more deeply.
After the formation of the formation was completed, the first action was naturally Song Yan, who had the ability to kill from a range of ranges, chanted out like a song to greet inexplicably, echoing and gathering a ball on her body, which should never appear in the dark night, like a faint light as the rising sun.
At this moment, Amunla's sun holy power was in Song Yan's body, like a river endlessly active, with the continuous change of syllables in her mouth, the rising soft sunlight transformed into a transformation, as if the equatorial noon was the kind of intense light, endless divine hazy Song Yan's figure hazy, and at the same time, the holy light condensed into a hieroglyph on the girl's forehead.
With the help of the pure and endless energy provided by extracting and refining from the environment through the formation, Song Yan seemed to turn into the incarnation of the sun in the blink of an eye, enveloping the entire battlefield in the brilliance she released. Piercing screams and terrifying screams instantly roared from the seemingly huge team of ghosts, and suddenly the seemingly neat queue was in a commotion.
"Deathlight!"
All the ghosts that existed within the scope of Song Yan's holy light were ignited in an instant, and the ghosts who were already in the vast and sacred state of the sun's holy light were in a state of turmoil completely confused, and the sharp and painful screams and roars turned into sonic waves like waves emptied by huge waves, and the roar deduced a hellish look.
The pain that the goblins who had just been so fierce in the death charge was like a dream, and the damage to their blue-gray wooden bodies from the seemingly burning golden flames was actually far less than that of the terrible howl.
The panicked goblins in pain became more and more frenzied, waving their claws and blindly towards their original companions around them, the thick trees waved by the mandrills were extremely conspicuous at the moment, and the ghosts that crowded into their vicinity in the chaos were swept by the thick wooden sticks that were at least a few meters in diameter, and flew out like a dumb ball hit by a home run.
And the most terrifying thing for the newcomers is the ghosts that are falling from the rock wall near the cave, screaming like dumplings. These creatures with sharp claws that are very good at climbing, and look like apes or lickers, actually sneak up on the top of the reincarnation position when the frontal troops attack.
If it weren't for Song Yan's sudden release of the area-of-effect magic, once these guys quietly launched a surprise attack, they might not pose a big trouble for the powerful veterans, but for the newcomers, the sharp claws were enough to kill them.
"Veterans! I really didn't find any of these guys! Looking at the companion beside her who was full of joy, Yu Wenwei buried her question in her heart without saying a word, and the answer to this question was not important at all.
Song Yan, as the initiator, was actually very surprised by the result of the death light's complete disintegration of the ghosts' formation, but this did not prevent this scheming beauty from falling into the well according to the original plan that had been established, and releasing the blow she really had high hopes for.
"Spotlight Orb!"
The Orb of Light is the second most powerful of the six spells in the Might and Magic Gate, and it is necessary for a normal mage to release it, choosing to use the sun's rays outdoors during the day to achieve success. However, for Song Yan, the priest of the sun god Amunla, this restriction is not so completely absolute, as long as a light source similar to the daytime sun is created, this problem can be perfectly solved.
