Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 114 The Hall

It may seem like a hassle to ask a large army to retreat, but in reality there were not as many people who actually entered the factory as expected, and it was almost only one or two squads for each leader's family. After confirming that everyone was ready, they moved on.

Behind the automatic door at the end of the passage is a wide hall, which is still dimly lit, but the view is much clearer than the environment of the passage. Reins looked up and saw that the roof of the rotunda was a vault of the same shape, which seemed to be made of ground glass, so that the light from the outside could dimly shine through.

However, it was still daytime when they first entered, and if it was really outdoor light, then this hall should not be as soft as the moon. And Leynz didn't sense any magical fluctuations in time at all - unlike the last time she was disturbed in the magical ruins, there were few factors in Roseos' factory that could affect her.

So the appearance of this vault must have been artificially processed in some way? - No, that's not the point right now. What did the people of Roseos want them to encounter in the halls?

There was no need for Rheins' reminder, and everyone present carefully watched the movements around them. In fact, when all of them entered the hall, it had already taken up almost half of the space.

Rhines pondered for a moment, motioning for Apaya to stay where she was, and slowly walked to the center of the hall. As the distance narrowed, Reins saw a less obvious spot of light on the ground in the center, and she stopped to look up, there seemed to be several holes in the very center of the vault, which allowed light to enter the hall, which only made Reins more puzzled.

She wanted to go to the points of light to find out, but just as she was about to take a step, a warning from the depths of her soul made her stand still. Reins narrowed her eyes and looked up at the vault again, and if it was her illusion, the color of the vault became darker.

But there may be no point in stagnating like this, she tentatively bypassed the points of light, and the otozonar in her body did not warn again, so she tried to stick to the edge of the hall to the other side of the hall, and as expected, the road leading to the front had been blocked.

Reins snorted with a disgruntled snort.

So it's obvious what they're supposed to do, isn't it? I knew it was a trap...... But she should not be surprised that she must also step on it, as Roses always played.

Even so, she couldn't let Roseos get too satisfied.

Rhines made her way back into the crowd, and she asked her Fili to set up a large protective net, and then explained the situation to the leaders of Morfi.

"There is no doubt that something happens when we step on that spotted area, and it would be unwise for people to face it unsuspectingly or to go back to the original passage without knowing what exactly is going to happen. And I suspect that even if we wanted to, we wouldn't be able to do it now. ”

To test her claim, the two clergy behind the nave in the crowd tried to open the door that would have opened automatically due to induction, but the door became immovable, even if Smofa used his abilities to attack the door while Pat scolded him for being "reckless".

Reins shrugged her shoulders and clapped her hands twice to draw the attention of the leaders who had just turned their heads to see the results of Smoker's attempt.

"There's nothing to say about it, the Fili and the two 'Divine Messengers' will set up a defensive circle on the outermost periphery, if no one wants to be suddenly attacked by a deadly attack, it's best to stay in this defensive circle for a while and not move a single step."

Hua Shao and the others nodded silently. Although it was a little discouraging that there were almost no occasions for them to contribute along the way, they knew the priority of the matter, and now was not the time to save face.

After making sure that everyone, even the hair, was within the defensive circle, Reins gave Appaya a reassuring look, and he cautiously approached the area of the spot, crossing the perimeter of the spot as everyone unconsciously held their breath.

Nothing happened.

Reins looked around in a position of stepping on the edge of the spot, and after making sure that nothing had changed and not that it needed a reaction time, she took a deep breath and strode her entire body into the spotted area. And in the next second, she quickly jumped away from the place where she had stood, alerted by the screams that pierced her soul.

A thick red laser slammed into the area of the spot, and the ground was dented for a split second, and the edges were still scorched.

But that's just the beginning.

Countless black cannon muzzles appeared on the upper half of the walls of the entire hall, and two doors opened under the turret, and the adult bodies of the Soul Breakers slowly walked out of them, they were a little different from the Soul Wounding Beasts brought out by Mayvotos, and they seemed to be more threatening, making it difficult to breathe just by looking at them.

"They're the first batch!" Reins shouted sharply, "Inside them is a nucleus at least the size of your fist, not just a fragment the size of your finger knuckle!" ”

The turret even twisted an angle from the wall to align it with the crowd. As they glowed dangerously, Rheinse quickly returned to the protective circle, strengthening her defenses with the Philips.

The first salvo of artillery fire shook the hall so violently that Tshiro couldn't even get himself to his feet on the ground, so he could only clutch at Smoker's clothes. The bombardment alone knocked out countless cracks in the shield they had held up, which made the Fillies' faces look a little ugly.

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, can you please remove this cover?"

Rhines looked sideways, Talos was grinning at them, and next to him, a heavily armored woman, who was supposed to be one of Boe's friends, was kneeling on one knee, and she was pulling a huge bow with flame patterns—a bow that Rhines suspected might be taller than the woman herself—with several arrows on it, and the pitch-black handles and glowing arrows of the arrows would never question their tenacity and sharpness.

Reins nodded, and the Fili and the two clergy removed the magic they had just put on the hood, causing it to shatter and disappear into thin air, and the people around them subconsciously made way for the woman's attack. The moment the Soul Breaker approached them, the woman let go of the bowstring she had drawn in full circle.

If it weren't for the stiffness of the bowstring, maybe it would have bounced into the hand she was holding the bow on, and it would have hurt.

Rheins's inappropriate thoughts on inconsequential matters did not hinder the power of those arrows. The woman's target wasn't the monsters, but the turret above the wall.

Arrows are far more destructive than one might think, at least they have never imagined what damage they can do to a fort, even if it's a metal one. But the woman's archery skills were clearly an exception, and the arrows she fired destroyed some of the turrets with great cleanness - each arrow destroyed one, and it didn't even need any more to help its companions.

Although it is unclear where Poe's companion came from, the woman's actions were undoubtedly morale-boosting. She didn't show the slightest hint of joy at what she had accomplished, but with a blank face she took out a new arrow and put it on her bow, ready for the next attack.

Boe's other companions also drew their own weapons. Boe's companions seem to prefer cold weapons rather than the gunpowder-type weapons that the family loves, and they don't have any magical fluctuations, as Talos describes - they are several warriors who have traveled the world.

"Well, you're not going to let someone steal the show, are you?"

Reins looked at Lillian with a smirk on her face, and even though she said "you", her actions made it very clear that the sentence was only aimed at one person. And one of the targeted people didn't realize what Rhines meant, but took out her weapon in a hurry, and rushed towards a soul-wounding beast without even leaving a word, and her partner was caught off guard and could only rush over to fight with her in a panic.

Although the hall was much more spacious than the passage, it didn't seem to be so suitable for large-scale battles due to the crowd and soul-wounding beasts, so the members of Morfi and the mercenaries of the Ruokra Guild only watched the few of them fight from behind, and those with long-range combat capabilities could also assist them from afar.

It's more like bringing them to watch the battle - God knows if the rest of these people are elites, and they still need to come to this kind of place to watch the battle.

Thinking like this, Rhines couldn't help but sneer. After noticing that Apaya was looking at her with some bewilderment, she tilted her head in thought, stood on tiptoe and kissed Apaya lightly on the lips.

"Fight well, Apaya."

While the Engineer was too surprised to react — oh, she's so little to take the initiative — Leynz slipped away with a smile. By the time Apaya came to his senses, the mercenary had already gone deep into the battlefield to fight, and he squinted his eyes and decided to wait until the battle was over to find a way to get the kiss back.

Even if the mercenary is a rare initiative, he thinks it is a bit too perfunctory. It's just lips touching lips for a while? That's not enough.

Although she complained inwardly, Apaya still showed a shallow smile. He raised the rack-mounted gun emplacement, which he had already set, and began to concentrate on covering for his companions—perhaps more for his mercenaries.
