Chapter 166: Thirst for More
In the 3rd district of the 20-kilometer level of Albiang, in this once prosperous neighborhood, the war is raging, and the streets are filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke.
Houses are tilted, broken rubble is scattered to the ground, shops and homes in the streets are in ruins, burning flames engulf everything, black smoke rises, broken windows and crumbling buildings form the backdrop to this bleak scene.
In the ruins, there are countless mechanical devices that have been engulfed in the flames of war, flames burning in the buildings, and the wooden structures of the houses hissing as if to tell sad stories. The red flames reflected on the ruins, staining the entire neighborhood a blood-red color.
Bang!!!
The thunder of war echoed through the neighborhoods, followed by explosions and gunfire, and shattered glass and tiles flew everywhere.
Xia Xiu held [Gorgon] in his right hand and [Spear of Gayaberg] in his left hand, driving [Great Magic Moment] with all his strength to make the [Presence Weaken] and [Completion Collapse Impression Technique] on his body reach the highest driving efficiency.
He was now in front of the Knights of the Round Table who were sniping the [Holy Spirit Dove] and the Light Giant, these 2.5 meters tall knights in lionheart armor had extremely terrifying [Strengthened Mechanical Muscles], which gave them superhuman strength and speed, easy to carry heavy equipment and quick movements, and perform a variety of combat missions alone.
The [Lancelots] were holding the [High Energy Electromagnetic Rifles] to shoot at the pigeons circling in the sky, and at the same time, they divided into three-person squads one after another, and cut into the battlefield at high speed through the [Gravitational Pusher] behind them, surrounding the Light Giants.
Qiang Qiang Qiang –
On the battlefield, the bright pink chains were like a glittering snake, quickly extending and colliding violently with the mechanical torrent troops. Each squirt sent out sparkling flames, like dotted pink streamers shining in the darkness; The chains and the mechanical torrent troops engaged in a life-and-death struggle, and each link of the chains exuded powerful energy, as if they contained endless power to collide violently with the armor of the mechanical torrent troops, making a deafening metal crashing sound.
The sound of chains wringing reverberated across the battlefield like a ferocious symphony, sparking nerves at the Knights of the Round Table, who held aloft [Energy Shields] and lightsabers and slashed at chains, blocking their advance.
The combination of thirty-five [Lancelot] and a large force of probe balls is enough to start a larger local war, as well as encircle and suppress [Juggernaut].
At this moment.
In the center of the battlefield, a knight of the round table with the number [A·07] on his shoulder is constantly shooting at the hovering dove of holy light in the sky, the built-in prosthetic eye is constantly providing dynamic assistance to help him complete the point shot, and at the same time, the built-in thaumaturgical driver chip [Avalon 02] on his body is constantly providing energy, and he is coldly carrying out the task given to him by the first authority - hunting angels.
As a new-age construct destined to be thrown into war as consumables, none of the products of the [Forbidden Army Project] will be endowed with too much [Personality Will], what [Thirteen Branches] need is weapons of war, and what is needed is loyal knights who absolutely obey [Asimov's Underlying Law].
In order to avoid unnecessary ethical and moral problems and moral condemnation, knights are artificially emasculated when they are refined out of the warehouse through [Great Alchemy].
We don't need people in bottles, we need weapons. These are the exact words of the head of the Forbidden Army Project and the developer of the Round Table series, the contemporary section chief and leader of the [Thirteen Sections].
As for whether [castration of human nature] is a cover-up and stealing the bell, in the increasingly tense international situation, it is naturally selectively ignored by all the upper echelons. Of course, there may be people who ask this question, but they will also be responsible for solving the problem of the person who raised the problem.
[The Thirteen Branches] have been wandering on the most dangerous edges of human nature, and that is why they have been included in the [Crisis Sequence] by the Kingdom of Heaven.
At this moment, the loyal [A·07] is stopping the hordes of pigeons from bombarding indiscriminately, while he is constantly mobilizing [Avalon 02] to detect the ARad fields around him, and to maintain sight-sharing and thaumaturgical detection with the other thirty-four horsemen through a shared pedigree network within the skull.
[Fraudulent Mystery Virus Detected!] 】
[Start parsing the virus——]
[Analyzing——]
[Analyzing——]
The bright red interface was inside [A·07]'s retina, and he could feel that the [Avalon 2] chip in his body was starting to heat up, proving that the other party's Mi mother virus was extremely dangerous and complex.
The thaumaturgical chip built into their minds is primarily responsible for handling the overall computing and control of the ether system, including processing instructions for thaumaturgical programs, managing spirituality, performing tasks such as arithmetic and logical operations.
According to the latest thaumaturgical authority and think tank resource mobilization, the thaumaturgical chip in their minds can deal with most of the low-risk Miyovirus, and now they are overloaded and can't parse the fraudulent reality-altering virus in front of them...
Sisss –
[A·07] The progress of the interface in the retina is still stuck in 'parsing', and the [Avalon 2] chip loaded on the back of his neck suddenly emits smoke, and a burning smell comes out of the chip.
The knight, who had no waves in his heart, felt a palpitation for no reason.
This feeling is... ···, lethal warning!?
[A·07] immediately activates the Force Field Shield, and at the same time draws [Energy Shield] and lightsaber, and slashes behind him.
There, he felt a piercing murderous intent in his back
The Knights of the Round Table slashed behind him with all his might, and the air seemed to be sliced apart by the blow.
Bang –
How could it be!?
Behind the Knights of the Round Table, nothing.
Qiang –
A bright red spear with thirty barbs pierced the force field shield, pierced through the Lionheart's armor, and inserted into [A·07]'s artificial heart.
"Almost."
The blond-haired, golden-eyed youth with a bright red spear in his left hand spoke [A·07] his thoughts, and at the same time, the azure shotgun in his right hand was pressed against his jaw.
"Bye-bye."
The blonde youth pulls the trigger.
Bang!!!
[Gorgon] burst out with terrifying energy, shattering the construct's brain, and the headless corpse with flashing electronic sparks fell to its knees weakly at Xia Xiu's feet.
All of this just now took less than five seconds.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the moment when [A·07] fell, Xia Xiu's body fluctuated for a short time, and the other Knights of the Round Table quickly turned their guns and gathered fire towards the place where he was, and at the same time, the two three-person teams drew their lightsabers and took on a circular wrapping posture, heading towards the target of annihilation.
The Knights of the Round Table reacted without hesitation and acted decisively.
[Great Magic Moment: Body Blur]
The attack of the concentrated fire pierced through Xia Xiu's body like a mold.
In the face of the enemy that surrounded him, he didn't choose to use [Mod] with [Completion Collapse Impression Technique] to play the vanishing tactic, the encirclement formation of the six Knights of the Round Table in front of him was tightly sealed, and now it was too late to enter the concealment, and the Knights of the Round Table with large-scale thaumaturgical strike weapons nearby had already rushed towards this side.
Sacrifice the six horsemen and perform a long surgical blow to the area they surround. Xia Xiu naturally understood their tactics very quickly.
"There is a central forbidden army, which is really an amazing thaumaturgical militarized product."
The blonde youth under the mask unabashedly praised these Knights of the Round Table, who were undoubtedly qualified as weapons of war.
However, this level is not enough.
Xia Xiu's hands and feet were covered in bright red thaumaturgical circuits, and the [Gorgon] in his hand disappeared in an instant, replaced by a golden giant axe as tall as a human, and he shot at the surrounding [Lancelot] like an off-string arrow.
[Don Quixote Activate!] 】
[Ridiculous Pollution: Message Bombing]
Twenty years of information garbage was compressed to the extreme by Xia Xiu, and then spread out to all areas within a radius of ten meters, and the six knights who surrounded him in front of him were stuffed in, and their behavior stagnated for a few seconds, and these few seconds were more than enough for him.
[Gayaberg's Spear: Trait triggers!] ]
[Powerful Penetration + Slash & Saw + Disemboweling]
[Arrogance is in arrogance - heavy punishment]
[Wheel Split: Thirty-five Times!] ]
The first second.
The blond youth's body was like a golden lightning bolt, and the spear in his hand was like a scarlet lightning bolt that pierced the vital parts of the structure in front of him, and then his body rotated with inertia.
The third second.
The spear, with an air of destruction, pierced through the armor of the second horseman, tearing through his defenses.
At the same time, he swung down with the giant axe in his right hand, and the golden giant axe emitted a dazzling light, slashing at the approaching structure.
Fourth second.
The moment the blade of the axe intersected with the metal, sparks flew in all directions, making a deafening crashing sound.
The second round of fire in the distance [Lancelot] was dodged by him with [Partial Body Blur].
Fifth second.
The terrifying Mimu flame suddenly burst out and spread out in all directions.
[Adora Bursts and Fires]
Sixth second.
Fragments of metal splattered everywhere with a loud roar, and then fell to the ground, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
The last rider collapsed in front of the blond young man, and the Knight of the Round Table, equipped with the [Pulse Missile Launcher], had already arrived at the scene, raised his weapon, and did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the weapon in his hand.
Boom –
With a loud bang, pulse missiles erupted from the launchers on the construct's hands, weaving through the buildings of the block, slicing through the sky. The missile's tail flame is dazzling and dazzling, bringing an unstoppable energy.
Bang!!!
The sound of the explosion echoed through the neighborhood, shaking the ground and buildings, and the shockwave of the explosion swept across the neighborhood, tearing and shattering the buildings.
Flames and smoke filled the neighborhood, creating a terrifying and suffocating spectacle, with the impact of the explosion destroying the entire street.
Four [Lancelot] units were directly affected nearby, the closest two were directly scrapped, and the remaining two were directly lifted out after activating the shield.
Lancelot, who had just fired a missile to hit his teammate, slowly stood up, and the knight numbered [A.21] reloaded with a blank face, not noticing one thing, that is, one of the pigeons hovering in the sky suddenly stopped exploding.
Perhaps it was the constant explosion and resurrection of the pigeons, the rampage, and the fact that several pigeons had enough of it, and the resurrection began to become less positive, greatly blurred the perception of the constructs.
At this moment, the other knights of the round table who were in good condition were slowly moving towards the location of the mushroom cloud.
"Goo-goo-goo-"
The familiar call of the dove sounded again, only this time not from the front line of fierce fire, but from behind [A.21].
[Stand-in conversion completed!] ]
"It's pretty cool."
The sound of laughter came from behind [A·21], and before he could react, he felt a loss of contact between his neck and his body.
Bang dang~
[A.21]'s skull rolled to the ground, and his retinal nerves began to appear patches of color and snowflakes, warning ringing in his brain.
At the last moment of his life, he saw the young man with blonde hair and golden eyes in the mask slowly put down a red blade in his left hand, and at the same time, the other party's right hand held an azure pistol and pulled the trigger on himself.
Bang!
The skull shattered, and shards flew everywhere.
At the same time, inside the mushroom cloud filled with black smoke, a monster with the head of a lion and the body of a goat, and the tail of a python sprang out, and he directly pounced on a structure, and then bit off the head of the other party in the face of the shots of the knights around him.
【Chimera Construct Module】
Xia Xiu simply glanced at the [Lancelot] who was fighting with the [Chimera], and then he looked at the [Great Magic Circuit] in the sky, and the [Presence Weakened] Mimu in his body was constantly rolling, as if he had encountered some terrifying natural enemy, and became a little cringe.
"The rejection came more slowly than I thought."
Xia Xiu had told Turce and the others earlier that the [Great Magic Circuit] of the Spirit Tomb was not very friendly to the Mimu Su who could shield himself, and he had already committed a crime against the wind just now.
During the sneak attack [A·07], Xia Xiu had already sensed the malice of the Spirit Tomb towards this kind of old sixth-like Mimusu.
"No, no, anyway, it's time for the plan to enter the second phase."
The blonde youth said as he walked over to the rest of the [Lancelots], who had to clear a wave of soldiers before moving on to the next plan.
*********
Albion 80km level.
Borderlands.
Carl Ermero, one of the twelve monarchs, was clutching his wounds, slumped on the muddy ground without the image of a nobleman, gasping for breath.
"Uncle... Do you know what you're doing!? ”
The mercury thaumaturgy around Carl was tumbling with his rage, while Lando Ermelo Archibald was silently watching.
"Don't try to use [Flowing Transmutation], your thaumaturgy was taught to you by me, your [Key] was found by me from the Ocean of Aether, and as for the family's [Crown], since I am here, you have no chance to call on them." The old god Lando Ermero replied presence.
Carl Ermelo's face flushed instantly, and he looked at his uncle angrily.
"Do you know what you're doing!?"
"Privately mobilizing the Knights of the Round Table, attacking the [Clock Tower] monarch, misappropriating the family [crown], invading the Albiang Forbidden Zone, ·····"
Carl Ermero's scolding grew lower and lower, for he saw deep apology and sorrow in his uncle's eyes.
Lando Ermelo had pleading in his eyes, longing, deep remorse, and pain.
"I know a lot, but I want to know it all."
"Carl, when people struggle, they inevitably make mistakes."
Carl Ermelo was stunned, his lips squirming to persuade him, but his consciousness became more and more blurred.
At the last moment of his fainting, he saw a pitch-black coffin rise from the abyss.
