Chapter 9: The Hunt
"Boss, something is wrong. Macajelen leaned down and looked around vigilantly, "There are a lot of them, they are everywhere in the shadows, the number is ...... Densely packed, tens of thousands, these guys have absolutely no ill intentions. ”
"Nonsense, dwarf. "Mobuck's tower shield is already in his hand, and he is tightly guarding the two mages, this is the position where he is most needed, "You can see the surprise formation of this thing by looking at their positions, and there are blood stains on their bodies, so it can't be a good intention." ”
"Shut up. Shuer frowned and ordered, "The defensive formation retreats, leans against the wall to be on guard, waits and sees for the time being, and does not take the initiative to attack." I don't know if you noticed it just now, in the demo video of that personal armor, metal golems were used as targets several times, and I thought it was just a habit at first, but now it seems that I'm afraid it's not that simple, be careful, they move. ”
Yes, the spider-type golem in sight began to maintain a slow movement in formation, and the shadows in the alley penetrated forward like flowing water in silence, and the more they moved forward, the faster the golem's team became, and after a few seconds, completely abandoned the hidden trail and began to charge.
"Shhh Several shadow chasers looked at each other, secretly observing their prey, slowly lurking and approaching, and launching the final charge at the limit distance, this is the standard hunting mode, hell, these puppets are quite skillful in their movements, it is by no means the first time they have done this kind of thing, behind them, it is likely that someone is manipulating, just like the leader hunter on the hunting ground.
"Ahh
However, his sacrifice was worth it, and the screams alarmed the crowded pedestrians in the streets, and the noisy streets were silent for a moment, and the whole city was eerily quiet, except for the sound of metal golems scratching at the ground.
However, like the calm before a storm, a moment later, a loud noise erupted in the crowd, and the crowd was divided into two groups, one was panicked but not panicked, and although the mouth screamed, the movement was very orderly and fled towards the surrounding buildings.
The actions of the other type of people are worth playing, accounting for about 30 percent, they actually rushed against the crowd in the direction of the mechanical puppet attack, while walking through the crowd, while taking out weapons from various parts of the body, the cooperation of the two types of people is very tacit, seeing the people holding weapons in the opposite direction, the crowd will take the initiative to get out of the way when evacuating, at least not to push them back to the same place.
"Militia. In the shadows, as the shadowchasers watched the city go from calm to turmoil, Shul pointed to those who had drawn their weapons and said, "Just look at the movements and the coordination"
Indeed, the courage of these people is commendable, and the speed of reaction is also worthy of recognition, but the movements are too stiff, and at first glance they are novices who are undertrained and have not experienced combat, especially some militiamen actually began to shoot at the metal puppets in the crowd, obviously, he overestimated his accuracy, and also underestimated the penetration of the weapon, so that many fleeing citizens directly held their heads and lay on the ground, and then were dismembered by the mechanical puppets that followed.
"It's no wonder that the people here are some kind of powered personal armor and high-performance thermal weapons, I'm afraid they are just to guard against these things. Miriday and Mia huddled tightly together, hidden behind Mobuck's tower shield, and the necromancer said thoughtfully, "When they saw the metal puppet, they didn't show any surprise at all, the two sides must be old rivals, otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm." ”
"Well, that's why the regime encourages people to keep weapons and trains a lot of militias. Mia nodded, "The militia is a bit too high, though. In addition to the elderly and juveniles, at least more than half of the prime of life have militia status. It is said that it is a militia, but in fact it is cannon fodder to delay time, and it is probably unrealistic to rely on them to eliminate metal puppets of this scale. ”
Yes, everyone found that they still underestimated the number of metal golems, these little things are like swarms of ants, pouring out of the shadows endlessly, and no one can find their source, as if they grew out of the ground.
Wait, underground?
"Saf, listen to the sewers. "Any big city has sewers, otherwise the city simply can't function, and dirty sewers are the best way to invade the city, and there is an endless stream of puppets, which can only be ......
"There was no sound below, except for the normal sound of running water. Saf's ears twitched, and he cautiously shook his head at Shure, "The puppet's lair is definitely not down there. ”
"Tsk, what the hell. Shuer pouted, "If you can't find a source, I'm afraid they will never be able to kill more enemies, and the number of puppets is increasing." ”
The city that was originally brightly lit is now filled with gunsmoke, more and more spider-shaped puppets have occupied most of the field of vision, there are no non-combatants on the streets, at least there are no more alive, only a large number of militias form an armed front, fighting fiercely with metal puppets.
The results were remarkable, as the puppets continued to explode into a ball of fire under the firing of bullets, and the metal parts were scattered in all directions, leaving no corpses until they died, but this was meaningless, because it was not the number of puppets that limited their combat effectiveness, but the space of the city, and now the puppets had filled all the areas they occupied, densely packed and crowded. Now the militiamen don't have to worry about the accuracy of their shooting, because if you shoot casually, as long as you don't shoot at your own people, you can always hit the enemy.
The rest of the city doesn't know what the situation is, but judging from the distant explosions and rising pillars of smoke, I'm afraid it's not optimistic, if nothing else, I'm afraid that this puppet invasion is a long-planned attack, and a large number of troops are invested at one time to launch an all-round attack on the entire city.
"It's not going to be good on the human side. "Although the balance of victory is getting more and more tilted, the shadow chasers have no intention of participating in the war, this is the battle of the other world's own world, it is not appropriate to join rashly, and more importantly, everyone's position has long been occupied by the puppet army, but not a single puppet has attacked them from beginning to end, this is not when they do not exist, otherwise the puppets will not take the initiative to avoid them, to be exact......
"It's good news that they treat us as their own. "Yes, the Messenger's inflection will cause the observer to try to ignore the discord and treat the Shadow Chasers as their own, and this is not just for living creatures, it seems that even the mechanical golems are no exception.
"Boom", the loud sound was not an explosion, but the sound of a building collapsing, and a metal figure nearly two people tall stood up from the ruins of the building, the huge gun in his hand spun wildly, swallowing out blue tongues of fire.
The personal warframe that was only seen in the footage finally joined the fight.
