At night, standing alone among the ruins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was no strange experience for Sophia.

The fierce sound of artillery fire and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air evoked many memories of her past.

However, even as an expert on the battlefield, in his previous life, the 'man in black' had never fought alone with more than twenty armed elements at the same time.

This is something that can only be done in the world we live in today, with magic and vindictiveness.

Learn your skills, make use of the equipment you have, judge the strength of your enemies, and then choose the most efficient tactics to put into action. This is the constant law of battle in Sophia's heart.

If it were normal, then in the current situation, there would be only one choice left for her - retreat.

It can be said that this is the first time that Sophia has been in a bitter battle with humans as her enemy since she gained the memory of the 'man in black'.

The total number of enemies was twenty-one, and the battle had been going on for more than ten minutes, but Sophia had not been able to break any of them.

If you compare them in terms of combat ability alone, none of them can compete with Sophia. However, the highly mature tactical system has bridged the gap in combat effectiveness.

After a period of engagement, it is possible to get a rough idea of the composition of the enemy's ranks.

There are at least two scouts, conducting reconnaissance activities on the battlefield. They are probably equipped with very sensitive optical or thermal detection equipment, so that Sophia's location is always the first to be exposed.

The main force was divided into three groups, with a standard squad of six people, two of which were assault groups, and their weapons were equipped with assault rifles necessary for medium and close combat. After discovering the target, they carried out cross-fire containment and advancement from two directions. The team members maintain a tacit formation and relative distance from each other, so that they can get fire support from at least three people in any situation.

The third group sits in the center of the battlefield, armed with heavy firepower such as machine guns, mortars, RPGs, and even rocket launchers. Sweeping the battlefield with firepower anytime and anywhere prevents Sophia from taking advantage of her speed to move long distances.

In the end, there was a sniper, only one person, but it was the most dangerous existence among the opponents, because the position of the sniper was beyond the range of Sophia's [Breath Perception]. The only way to deal with it was to wait for the bullet to invade her perception range before Sophia could barely dodge.

Even if there were twenty enemies other than the sniper, all of them within the range of her [Breath Perception], the situation was still overwhelmingly unfavorable, and Sophia tried various methods to try to defeat the opponents one by one-

The first thing that came to her mind was to give priority to the opponent's fixed artillery group, but the opponent had the advantage of being geographically advantageous, they landed on high ground with a wide field of vision, and could flexibly open an airtight barrage of 360 degrees, and not only that, but the scouts had planted multiple trap lines composed of induction mines.

Those mines have very tricky properties, even if they use [Shadow Fighting Energy] and [Stealth Operation], the mines will still be detonated, and I don't know why, once they explode, Sophia's speed will be immediately blocked, and she will not be able to enter the overdrive again for a few seconds. In this way, she will become a target for concentrated artillery fire, and there will be no place to hide.

In fact, at the beginning, she was almost killed by a sniper because of this.

Secondly, she immediately thought of using [Breath Perception] to complete [Marking], and counterattacked it by firing auto-tracking magic bullets from her pistol.

However, all enemies are dressed in a special material of full-body armor that can block out any interference from the nervous system by any foreign magic, and not only that, but they are equipped with bullets that can also intercept and disperse the magic bullets halfway.

This means that, following the ghostly speed, Sophia has even been blocked from long-range firepower. Now, the only means left for her to fight is to fight with the enemy with her sword.

She stormed one of the assault groups and engaged them in a close fight. However, the high-speed slash that he was proud of failed to take down any of them first. Presumably one of the functions of the full-body armor: a defensive barrier - perfectly blocking Sophia's first slash beyond the speed of sound, enough to inflict fatal wounds.

The barrier shatters after a slash hit, and it takes about five to six seconds to reopen it again, but it is enough to block the first hit, as Sofia is no longer a threat to them when she appears. In the event of a surprise attack, all members of the team will throw a special shock flashbang at their feet - the effect is exactly the same as that of a sensor mine.

In addition to assault rifles, each of them is equipped with a solid shield sword as a melee weapon, which is a melee weapon that focuses more on defense than aggression. No one chooses to fight Sophia, who is a master of physical skills, and whoever is bitten will not be in danger of being killed by a knife as long as they focus on defense with a solid and solid focus. And the companions around you will also be extremely quick to provide support.

At the same time, although in the dogfight, the heavy firepower team was unable to carry out the bombing of the battlefield for fear of accidental injury, but for a sniper with high means, even in the chaos of the battle, he was able to deliver a fatal blow.

Sophia chose two groups of enemies and tried several times, but the two assault groups did not retreat, but instead inadvertently guided the enemy together, and thus suffered a stronger firefight.

Flawless teamwork, coupled with targeted armament. In this way, Sophia has lost all means of victory. In front of you, all you have to do is admit defeat and retreat...... There is no doubt that this battle is a complete defeat for itself.

Although she was defeated, Sophia showed a proud, even triumphant smile. Because, this time it was no one else who defeated him, but a member of the Celestia garrison.

Now it's just a regular intra-team simulation. The main purpose of this simulation battle is to test the performance of the new equipment.

These new equipment, pure white painted, ceramic full-body knight armor, of course, were also created by her sister Elize. In fact, the refining of armor has been carried out for a long time, and the reason why it has not been released until today is that the ideal anti-magic materials have not been found for a long time.

Although the demonized carbon steel has amazing physical defense, the defense effect against magic is really ordinary, and Hilda can unleash the enchantment of magical defense on her own, but the uncles of the garrison can't do this. If armor is made purely from demonized carbon steel, it will be very vulnerable when encountering the mage legion.

And now, Arizza has finally found a fantastic anti-demon material, that is, the dragon scales of the Abyss Dragon.

You know, the dragon scales have a jaw-dropping resistance to magical strikes, and even if Alize uses all her power to cast magic, she can't do any damage to the dragon scales. Of course, these armors are far from being able to reach the defensive effect of the demon dragon itself due to the lack of Rachi's mana supply, but at least, it is no problem to cover all offensive magic below the third order.

The second effect is to open a [space-time barrier] that perfectly blocks any deadly attacks in a short period of time. Although in terms of durability, it is also far inferior to the [Incorruptible Ice] opened by Lachi. It is also enough to defend against any kind of special attack other than [Temporal Attribute]. After a successful defense, it can be activated again every five seconds.

In other words, this armor not only has a high level of defense in terms of physical and magic, but also refreshes a layer of absolute defense every five seconds. In terms of defensive performance, it is even superior to the [Holy Spirit Armor] of the 'Legendary Blade'.

In addition to impeccable performance, the most important thing is that it can be mass-produced. But because the production process is hundreds of years ahead of the entire continent, and the dragon scales of the demon dragon are the only one. Therefore, for the time being, there is only the garrison of Celeria...... No, the Knights of Celia should have been renamed the unique equipment they have.

The results of the test were very good. Although the author, Elize, is still eager to think of various enhancement schemes, but at least in Sophia's opinion, this armor is already impeccable.

With all of the above, Sophia intends to withdraw from the battlefield and declares that the mock battle should end there. But at this moment...... The unexpected happened.

[Breath Sense] issued a warning, there was a target, unconsciously detoured behind her, and was rapidly approaching in her direction.

Twelve members of the assault group advancing frontally, two guerrilla scouts on the battlefield, and six members of the fixed fire support group -- a total of twenty people -- all within the range of perception. Then, this character who launched a special attack on himself has nothing else to think about except the 'sniper'.

The petite figure in white full-body armor swooped down like a beast, and he swung the shield sword of his right arm towards Sophia. The black sword and the white blade of the knight's armor collided in the air, and the petite voice fell on Sophia's side, continuing to strike with sharp movements.

"What are you going to do, Cam. ”

Sophia asked without changing her face. Of course, she knew the identity of the person who came, and it was none other than her subordinates, slaves, pets, and maids...... Orc boy Cam.

"So, Miss Sophia, we'...... It won't make you retreat easily. From the very beginning of today, we were determined to defeat you. ”

Indeed, as Cam said, Sophia noticed from the beginning that the attitude of the players participating in the simulation battle today was not the same as usual...... The sense of seriousness and tension is extraordinary.

Not only that, but the equipment they have prepared today is enough to illustrate this determination.

You must know that you have never shown your full combat effectiveness in training, and there are only two sisters who are so familiar with your abilities.

They may have secretly turned to Ariezel to prepare these targeted weapons. Moreover, it is not enough to prepare weapons to defeat oneself.

I'm afraid that for today's simulated battle, they have secretly practiced countless times. In order to prove their strength in front of their own eyes.

"Oh...... However, in terms of victory or defeat, you have already won. Why bother with 'beating' me. ”

"Because, that ...... We hope that you will agree. ”

"Huh......?"

As she unsheathed Cam's blade, Sophia fell into deep thought. She was confused by what Cam said, "As an instructor, I already agree with your strength. ”

"No...... You're lying. For some reason, the orc boy's attack was even more intense, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone when he said this, "If you really agree with us...... When the dragon is defeated, we should have been brought with us! if we were there...... I will never let you become so scarred!"

"Cam is right!madam!We're already stronger than those adventurers!Why can't you rely on us!We're only for Celia, for the lord, and for your 'knights!'?"

At this moment, the other assault teams also launched an encirclement due to being tripped by Cam.

Sophia danced and dodged in the midst of the bullets, but even she couldn't avoid all the airtight barrage, so the training bullets that were enough to trigger real pain continued to explode everywhere in her limbs.

"I see...... For this, I can only apologize......" However, Sophia did not show a sad look because of the pain, she just gave everyone a faint smile, "Although I believe in everyone's strength, it is a very dangerous mission...... I don't want to lose any important subordinates for this. ”

You know, the 'man in black' in his previous life would never say such a thing.

Because for 'him', the wingman is at best a consumable in combat operations. He doesn't feel sorry for the loss of personnel, he only coldly calculates how to consume them in order to complete the task more efficiently.

"Miss Sophia......"

Although obscured by the armor, he couldn't see the expressions of Cam and the others. But the touching and warmth from the trembling voice had reached Sophia's heart.

"It's just that one yard is one yard. I will not allow unauthorized changes to the simulation process. So, all of them have to accept the punishment. And, this level of tactics just wants to beat me, dog mongrel...... You seem to be getting carried away......!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere present changed suddenly, and I saw Sophia's two long ponytails, floating strangely in the windless environment, "At the same time, as a reward for your efforts, let you see it...... Something that even Sister Alize's sister doesn't know yet......"

Then, the unthinkable unfolded.

Sophia stepped on the empty air and ran vertically upwards. The bullets from her rifle could not keep up with her speed, and when she reached a certain height, she rolled backwards and leaped—her figure turning into a shadow in mid-air...... Disappear.

At the same time, he appeared from behind a certain commando, and with a single blow, he shattered the barrier of absolute defense and disappeared again...... Appearing from another direction, the speed of the dash was even faster than before, and the black blade pierced the gap in the armor with a flash.

The combat knife used by Sophia now is, of course, also a training tool, and the blade is the same as the training bullet, which can only cause pain, but does not kill the target. However, the hit is enough to instantly cause a coma.

In this way, Sophia's swift figure crossed the space irregularly, constantly appearing from all over everyone, and in the blink of an eye, everyone except Cam was already stunned to the ground.

That was the skill she showed when she defeated 'Sylda' in the battle with the dragon...... Phantom-like 'killing array'.

"So what...... Cam, thank you for worrying about me. I'm so happy......"

Finally, Sophia stood behind the petite orc boy, holding her arms around her shoulders, and gently brushed the blade against his carotid artery as she whispered a gentle and quiet thank you in her ear......
