Chapter 35: Get Out
"Boom", in the eyes of ordinary people, as if the world is broken in the eyes, after the roar behind it, the heaven and earth suddenly brighten up as day, a dazzling light, suddenly lit up in the insect swarm, the light went straight to the sky, as if it could illuminate the entire projection space. Immediately after the light, the terrifying explosion of ordinary people resounded in the sky, and for a moment, only the roar echoed in the ears, and even though the sound had subsided, the ears were still filled with buzzing noises.
The moment the light lit up, the shockwave kicked up billowing smoke and dust, spreading with devastating power to all directions, and where the shockwave passed, the hideous insects were turned to ashes by the powerful energy, and even the corpses were left, and they disappeared into this world. In an instant, hundreds or even thousands of insects were evaporated by the explosion, leaving a huge hole in the swarm, although the follow-up swarm immediately filled this gap, but the hole in the sea of insects still left a deep impression on the members of the excavation team.
Including eight high-ranking mercenaries.
The scene just now, in the eyes of the high-level mercenaries, was another scene. Their dynamic strength was much higher than that of the rest of the group, so they could clearly see the smoke rising from behind them, huge objects whizzing across the sky, falling into the swarm and exploding, and even the frozen movements of the insects that were blown to ashes before they could react.
It was because they could see clearly that they understood the power of the explosion better than ordinary people, and everyone looked at each other and finally nodded their heads.
The view is unified, although the power of the explosion is great, with the strength of the energy shield of the gold-level warrior, it can still receive this impact at the center of the explosion, and this level of explosion is like the full force of the previous gold-level mage. However, everyone also understands in their hearts that if there are a few more shots in a short period of time, they may not be able to withstand it, and if they don't need more, they may be injured if they have three or four shots in a row, and if they are more, the fate of the bugs is just around the corner.
However, it seems that this level of attack cannot be used continuously, and after waiting for half a minute, until the more than 100 bugs that crossed the barrage have been eliminated, there is no re-fire in the fortress behind it.
Shur sighed regretfully, looked at the swarm of insects and their corpses piled up like a hill, and turned back and ordered, "Duck, try to climb up the fortress." β
"Understood. Duck shook the rose in a salute, and the nightmare beast beneath him rushed all the way up the metal faΓ§ade that was tilting outward.
"It's pathetic. Glancing at Duck who was galloping upwards with an expressionless face, Mia didn't feel sorry for Duck at all, "This would be seen as a provocation." β
Duck was pitiful indeed, for he had been thrown out again as bait by Shure. If the fortress is hostile to the outsiders such as the excavation team, then Dark's excessive behavior will definitely be blocked, of course, his defense is the strongest among all, and he should not be injured, but it is inevitable that he will be embarrassed. If he is not blocked, it means that the inside of the fortress is a relatively safe area, and the excavation team can take a break in it to discuss the next goal.
Mia's worries are also justified, suddenly climbing the walls of other people's fortresses during the war is simply a declaration of war, as long as you are not an idiot, it will definitely be regarded as a serious provocation, I am afraid that even these ordinary people outside the city will be attacked. However, Mia clearly overlooked an important issue......
"To be able to judge whether it is a provocation or not, you must first have intelligence, and if you don't have enough intelligence, you don't know what a provocation is. So, will there be a life in the otherworldly projection that knows what it means to be provocative?"
"Basically, no. β
"Therefore this is not a provocation, saith the Lord, believe in me, be humble and observant, do not provoke others without permission, praise the name of the Lord, keep the command of the Lord, holy. "It's obviously nonsense, obviously taking this opportunity to test whether there is an 'accident' like him, but pretending not to know, "The only thing strange about me is these weapons, it stands to reason that something like a trap or a mechanical puppet is only activated by conditional judgment, and it is impossible to distinguish between the enemy and me, but these weapons can obviously be distinguished, you see, that nymphomaniac ran around it and didn't die, it must not be regarded as an enemy by the defense system." Mia, remember you said you had experience chasing shadows and had been in a similar situation?"
"Well, there are some special worlds that will have similar technologies, relying on a complex system that can not only achieve these functions, but also make relatively complex judgments like humans, but they all rely on established designs, without real thinking ability, and there is no wisdom. β
"See, it seems, the control of the fortress is something like that. Shul nodded, but still uneasy, and shouted to the wall, "Dark, knock on those guns." β
"Why don't you die?" Darker is not stupid at all, of course, he can see that Shul wants to further test the fortress to determine where the bottom line is, the problem is that if the bottom line is really measured, the person who was blown up by the cannonball is me, you bastard is obviously a personal vendetta. But curse after scolding, Duck also knew in his heart that this task was only suitable for him with the strongest defense, so he could only curse the bastards below loudly while knocking a few times on a few weapons that were not so important.
There was no response, the uncontrolled firearm just automatically adjusted the angle and returned to the firing position, and there was no reaction at all to the troublesome Dark, it seems that everyone's security level is quite high, even if they do such an excessive behavior, they will not be attacked.
"It's good, everyone is centralized. Shul clapped his hands to regain everyone's attention, and returned to the members of the excavation team with the high-ranking mercenaries, "The one above, hurry down, you still have to play on it for a long time." β
"Damn bastard priest, you wait. The Nightmare Beast rushed down like a gust of wind, and Duck sent the mount back to the realm of the Night Goddess, jumped in front of Shure and gritted his teeth, saying, "Go out and see if I don't break your nose." β
"Then for the sake of my nose, I can only assign you some more important tasks and try to keep you from getting out. β
"Bastard, what about the dignity of your strong man?"
"The Lord says, Let not the strong be arrogant, and the weak not be humble: the word of the Lord is the truth, holy. β
"Hmm, why don't I remember any god saying anything like that?"
"Because I made it up. Shuer shrugged, and the two of them exchanged words as if no one was around, it was not like they were on a battlefield where they could lose their lives at any time, and they were not professional at all, but it was this relaxed attitude that relieved the spirit of ordinary people who were on the verge of collapse under the pressure of death and fear.
"Come together. "Look at the effect is good, if it continues to make trouble, it will really become a waste of time, Shuer returned to seriousness, "Everyone is next to each other, do you two have a grudge, so far apart? There are two over there, I know that you are not the same gender, the problem is that this is not the place for you to show your gentlemanly demeanor, give me closer, yes, yes, hug tightly, let you hug you really hug, tsk, have the courage, you, support you to help him sterilize him after he goes out." β
Keeping the crowd to a minimum, Shure said to Mia, "Find a way to make us disappear for a while." β
"Huh? Interesting idea. Mia was stunned for a moment, and then guessed Shuer's intentions.
The fortress has always existed here, and the previous biters did not attack like they do now, indicating that they are not interested in the fortress, and now the onslaught of the fortress regardless of casualties is likely due to the reasons of these alien creatures, so it is a good idea to try to disappear from the view of the biter, maybe it can make the swarm return to the range of the fungus carpet and no longer entangle this fortress.
Otherwise, the swarm will keep going and the fortress will have to fire all the time, not necessarily because the bugs will be wiped out first, or if the plug will run out of ammo and energy first, or if the latter is more likely. At that time, once the fortress is captured by bugs, the excavation team may really be in a desperate situation.
The question is, how do you hide yourself?
Illusion is of course the first choice, but it may not be effective against creatures from another world, and Mia, as an elemental mage, is not proficient in illusion, so it is difficult to achieve perfection. In this way, the best way is, of course, ...... Earth.
"Seka, Sora, Dahl. "With his hands on the ground, a magical spell came out of his mouth, and the ground rose violently, and a sloping earthen wall stood in front of the people, forming a triangular space with the ground and the outer wall of the fortress, hiding the entire excavation team in this space, and even sealing the sides with earthen walls, and finally not forgetting to leave a mage's eye outside.
"I hope there's enough air, so you don't suffocate. In the dark, Shur said leisurely, and took Saf's hand beside him, "Don't be afraid, Sasa, I'm right next to you." β
Do you want to make a face, people don't show fear at all, you just say that you are plotting against you, what excuses do you make, this is what everyone thinks in the dark.
"I'm not afraid, and why are you grabbing my hand?"
There is no doubt that this is Lin Jing's voice, Shuer retracted his hand like lightning, but he reacted halfway through, damn it, he was fooled, and it was not the first time he caught it, this was definitely Saf's hand.
"Shut up, I don't want to cast spells in vain, and if I make any more noise, let the bugs hear, I will never try a second time. β
It's good, it's finally quiet in the dark, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the results to appear outside.
From the outside, it has become a protruding dirt slope outside the fortress wall, which is very inconspicuous and does not attract the attention of insects, and the effect is very good. But this is hiding in front of the bugs, and if it succeeds, it will be an insult to the intelligence of the bugs.
The problem is that these bugs only have instinct and no IQ at all, and Shuer's attempt actually succeeds.
A few minutes later, just as the air inside was getting more and more stuffy, the roar of guns outside gradually died down, and then Mia removed the earthen wall, and people found that there was no longer a single insect in sight except for the corpse, and the gate of the fortress next to him was slowly opening.
