Chapter 217: Explosion
The colors of the world have changed.
With a constant roar, the hilly terrain shrouded in darkness was lit up for a moment, and the glittering light of the fire swayed slightly in the raging storm, painting the surrounding area a layer of crimson. The blazing glow of the flames threw the sorcerers at the highest point of the statue into confusion.
There is no doubt that the sound that shook the rock golem was the body of the explosion that was born in the lower half of it. Along with it appeared a dozen bright rays of light, and the light armored vehicles in all directions cast a bright light, peeling off the dark cloak of the golem.
This was no accident, as the light shone straight at them, locked by the hill-like rock colossus and the mages hidden on it. Presumably, the shocks that came not long ago were their explosives in their assault.
"Ambush? When exactly did they surround the area? Standing on the platform at the top of the stone statue, the man in black who looked like a leader silently looked at the vehicles that were projecting light around him, "I thought they had given up, but I didn't expect to use such a naïve way to try to stop our great cause." ”
The sorcerer who spoke was a stocky male with bulging limbs like sausages holding up his black robes. Most of the forehead, which had faded due to excessive oil, was now wet with rain and shining in the light of magic.
It was night, but the stocky man wore a pair of round brown sunglasses and a wonderful smile on his face. Most of his countenance was covered in shadows. But judging from the exposed outline, he is probably over half a hundred years old, and there is a faint sense of vicissitudes.
It's a bunch of ordinary people who don't know anything about spells—he sneered and shook his head. The eyes that looked at the vehicles around them were also full of disdainful smiles. In front of the huge rock golem, those mantis vehicles seemed to him as worthless as their existence.
Originally, only the mages on the battlefield were the most important beings, and for a group of people who could control the forces of nature, the other side naturally needed to use similar forces to fight them. But in this modern age, when the use of magic tools began to spread on a large scale, their status is becoming less and less than in the past—the Yue who was once regarded as different by mortals is now only a human with a few talents.
Let's take an analogy. The light emitted by these lightly armored vehicles is a long-distance lighting device that uses machinery to concentrate light in a specific direction. With the help of a mirror, the beam can be concentrated in a small solid angle, so as to obtain a large light intensity in a small area.
In the middle and late stages of the last war. This tool was used on a large scale to prevent the other side from sneaking up at night, but it seems that many people forgot that the first person to create a similar effect was a mage. This spell, which he called "Moonlight", was used by mages in the pre-war era to aid in night battles.
The exhibition of modern technology has allowed high-end sorcerers to gradually enter the laboratory, using their knowledge and skills to study tools for alternative spell effects for those who cannot use spells. And the increasing popularity of sorcerer education has made spells even more secular. It is not a privilege to be monopolized by a few.
It's blasphemy - so do some who are obsessed with the glory of the past.
It's like this rock colossus illuminated by an artificial light source. If it had been placed 300 years ago, all those who saw it would have thought it was a miracle that only "gods" could have done and worshipped him. But now, even the most ordinary security officers know that it is a spell that is difficult for human beings to do.
"It's stupid. ”
A sarcastic word came out of the sorcerer's mouth: "These watchdogs in the town hall, do they think that the scrap metal they hold in their hands can do the slightest damage to our technological crystals? It's ridiculous, it's time to let them know what the difference is between us." ”
Although possession of the corresponding tools allows ordinary people to cast simple spells, this does not mean that these ordinary people with spell tools can be compared to mages and warlocks. Even these warriors, trained to fight humans, are no exception. What they have is nothing more than crude substitutes.
Locked in by the glow of the searchlight, it didn't make him waver—for from the beginning there was no need for them to hide in the dark. They already want to declare war on the city. What he is doing now is only using his power to manifest his own existence.
"Hmph, let these fools see their weakness - the first sequence of spells ready!"
With his command, several metal pillars standing around him shone with a blue-white light. Some of the ancient words that had poured into the central part of the "altar" instantly transformed into another structure, and began to pour towards the metal columns, and the next moment, the top of the rock colossus was surrounded by the glow of magic.
Like thunder in the distant clouds, the Rock Colossus seemed to spread out a circle of flickering wings. At the same time, a large number of tiny "arrows" shot out from the spreading light, and sprinkled more densely than the boundless rain curtain on the surrounding motor vehicles.
Dazzling arrows struck like waves of sparkling, flashes of light flying around the vehicle, metal and magic colliding with each other in a low scream. Although this "rain of arrows" was almost all ordinary attack spells, the attacks that were sprinkled in all directions also made it impossible for the surrounding vehicles to enter.
And this bolt of light was just a prelude to the Eye of Truth's attack, and there were already dozens or even hundreds of shining Rubik's Cubes slowly forming above the towering rock golem. Through the great light, one could see more than twenty sorcerers, and many others with weapons.
There are more than a dozen mobile troop vehicles encircling the perimeter alone, and if we only consider the problem of quantity, it is naturally not a difficult number to deal with. But this is a vast hilly area, and the overwhelmingly destructive magicians are pointing at them condescendingly.
In an instant, several fireballs with long tails shot into the rain-soaked vehicle, and the spell burst into a roar, followed by countless flashes of light. The silent night was tore through the silent night with the sound of a piercing explosion, and the bursting air blasted away the nearby miscellaneous trees with great destructive force, leaving a large number of craters in the earth and rocks. What little impact was left canceled out of each other, eventually turning into a roar that shook the night air.
The colorful Rubik's Cube organized into brilliant spells, and the dazzling brilliance illuminates half of the sky, making people sigh at the beauty of the battle using spells - but its power can only be described as tragic. In particular, the power of high-level spells is even enough to rival large bombs, and as long as the people who cast the spells have the heart, it is really easy for them to destroy the unprotected wilderness around Miè.
The main reason why there is no substantial destruction at the moment is that the mages on the rock golem do not concentrate their firepower. Surrounded by the nimble vehicles around them, they are unable to unleash powerful one-form spells, and can only choose to suppress their opponents' mobility with scattered bullets.
Caught off guard by the first wave of scattered arrows of light, the lightly armored vehicles that were shooting their searchlight light at the Rock Golem immediately sped up and moved around the Rock Golem. The metal that wrapped around the body was strengthened with some kind of anti-magic treatment, and the light arrows cracked one after another after hitting the body, blooming with a dazzling blazing light, but these pure magic did not cause effective damage to the body.
The "rain of arrows" used to suppress it did not succeed in suppressing the mobile troops, and the elemental spells thrown by the mages struggled to keep up with their movement. In the midst of the onslaught, they were able to even counterattack in the direction of the spell, sporadic fires exploding at the feet of the rock golem, and the scattered earth and stones gently shook the colossus's massive body - and then attached itself to it again.
They were probably firing explosives at the infantry with their mechanical guns, wave after wave, sporadic explosions that did shake the Rock Golem's body, but did not do much damage to it. After all, from the very beginning, the members of the True Eye had already considered the weapons held by the Mobile Force. These weapons used against lightly armored units can have a bit of a hard time destroying the outermost defensive Rubik's Cube.
"Uh-huh...... Do you want to use mobility to pin us down......" On a foothold at the top of the rock golem, the stocky sorcerer was looking down on the light-lit battle. "Although I heard the report, I didn't expect that they would take advantage of such a troublesome place. ”
The nearly 100-meter-tall Rock Golem is like a huge moving fortress, with an impregnable shell that can defend against almost any attack. Even if it is damaged by a certain amount of dù, it can immediately absorb the surrounding soil and rocks and repair it. Instead, there is a design that completely abandons mobility, and the giant's mobility is really worrying, and although the stride is not slow, it is a pity that its mobility cannot match the height.
Because of this, the mobile unit's light armored vehicles are always able to attack outside the range of fire and evacuate before the Colossus as it moves towards its destination. It's like an annoying fly, and while it doesn't cause substantial damage, it makes people feel quite annoying.
"What a tiresome fly......"
But there was not a hint of anxiety in his tone: "The personnel in charge of observation are now reporting and determining the number and scale of the attackers around?"
He asked his men calmly, sounding like an after-dinner chatter. He believed in the power of his spells, and he was also certain that the fire of a mobile unit would not be able to deal an effective blow to the Rock Colossus beyond the range of the spell. When they run out of ammunition, they can only face their own defeat.
"It is estimated that about eleven advance assault vehicles, six of which are equipped with grenade launchers. I'm sure they were responsible for the small explosion before!" His men immediately replied, having recently gained insight into the movement of the vehicle with the help of their spells, "The initial estimate is that the ammunition they have left is only - whoa!"
Only another violent roar interrupted their conversation.
There was no doubt that it was an explosion - the first time that a giant made of rock and earth was truly shaken in an unprecedented bang. (To be continued!)
