In the 126th year of the Apocalypse, the "residents" of Linghu City spent their time underground.

The huge underground fortress under the Enchantment Tower has been completely transformed into a consumption space.

All kinds of imperial consumption, there are all here, although the scale is not large, but it is enough to deal with the current urban residents of only more than 10,000 people.

These consumptions, which were commonplace in the major counties of the empire, aroused great interest among the people of Linghu City, and life was finally not so boring.

This initiative, to a large extent, alleviates the homesickness of personnel.

Just a few days after the New Year's Festival, the first skirmish between Spirit Lake City and Valency City took place.

On this day, the patrol team of Linghu City, under the leadership of Xie Nanteng, drove a blue small modified "Yellow Sparrow" vehicle to patrol the predetermined area of the Five Great Spirit Lakes at an ultra-low altitude.

The current patrol in Linghu City is different from the patrol of the militia of Iasi County back then.

On the side of Linghu City, the area is too wide, and the forests and mountains are intertwined, and it is unrealistic to rely on the way of foot inspection, and Linghu City does not have so many people at all.

Therefore, there are four teams every day, driving small vehicles, patrolling at ultra-low altitudes.

In the area of the Great Spirit Lake, heavy snow covers the forest, and from the sky, the sky and the earth are all vast white, and the Five Great Spirit Lakes are like several crystal clear emeralds, inlaid on the earth.

Patrol at ultra-low altitude and high speed on small vehicles, blue sky, snow-capped mountains, forests, and silver-gray dense forests...... The picture is stunning.

Countless small animals are quietly searching for food, and hungry wolves are scouting and roaming the woods.

The Inca leopard lying on the trunk of a tree exhales white air from its mouth and nose.

Herds of reindeer warily stay in the forest, and it is difficult for them to find food in such a season, and how to survive the winter until the spring flowers bloom and not be eaten by predators such as timber wolves and Inca leopards is the main task.

Including Xie Nanteng, there are two high-rank, four mid-rank, and seven beginner-level warlocks in the vehicle, most of which are followers sent by Xie Valve to Xie Nanteng.

The seven beginner-level warlocks, all equipped with the Imperial "Warrior" armament, were uniformly changed to azure blue.

As the second son of the Prime Minister of the Empire, it is really good to have such a security standard, he can participate in various tasks in Linghu City according to the regulations, like an ordinary mid-level warlock, without seeking specialization.

Xie Nanteng looked at all the scenery outside the porthole with some boredom, and specially modified the multi-faceted display terminal on the small vehicle used for patrol, using ultrasonic, infrared and visible light to detect at all angles without dead ends.

Just when they thought it would be another busy day, a red point of light flashed on one of the infrared display terminals, and the vehicle emitted a slight buzzing alarm.

There was a sense of alarm in the vehicle all of a sudden.

On the display terminal, you can see that not far away, there is a large raised snow pack, and there is a very shallow underground space below, where more than a dozen humanoid creatures lurk, and in the middle of their surrounding, there are blazing light spots.

The small vehicle abruptly slowed down, nearly hovered, hid behind a massive canopy, and continued to use all sorts of means to reconnoitre.

In fact, there is no need to use scientific and technological devices, Xie Nanteng can already be found with the naked eye, nearly a kilometer away, in the corner of the slightly raised snow, there is a slight smoke slowly rising.

Apparently, someone built a nest there and then lit wood to keep warm.

The blazing spot on the display end should be the normal display of the high temperature of burning wood at the infrared end.

The thirteen people looked at each other, and they all felt a little unreal.

This kind of behavior, unless it is an indigenous hill people, should be unlikely to be the work of a federal sergeant.

When there is no wind on the snow, the smoke is still quite noticeable, and if there are enemies, they will be quickly attracted to it.

Xie Nantou is not stupid, speaking of which, he has also served in the regular army of the empire for five years, but it is not the Western Wilderness Legion.

He thought for a moment and frowned:

"Unless, the strength of the opponent's squad is very strong, and I don't worry about being attacked by the enemy!"

One of Xie Nanteng's guards, the high-level warlock Xinshi, appeared more cautious:

"Second son, we have to be careful that the other party is fishing."

Another high-level warlock guard, Skullcap, is a little more optimistic:

"I don't think so, let's say that the other party is also a mage in the Xixuan Army, because Valency City and our Linghu City have never clashed, they are squatting here, it's too cold, and it's possible to start a fire with a fluke mentality."

Xinshi and Skullcap, who once served as Xie Wuyi's guards when he was in Iasi, were considered high-level warlocks that Xie Valve trusted, and they were also sent to follow Xie Nanteng.

Xie Nanteng understood that the reason why the valve sent these two people was because they were familiar with Wei Ling, Shougong, and Li Lingyou, so it was also a good thing.

Xie Nanteng nodded:

"What the two gentlemen said makes sense, but we definitely want to try our luck, haha, maybe the open and secret battle between the two sides is caused by our team, then it will be interesting."

Xinshi and Skullcap nodded, and they still recognized the positive attitude of the second son.

The "Yellow Sparrow" landed quietly on the snow behind the big tree without making a sound.

The seven beginner warlocks activated their armaments and jumped into the snow, and the one-meter-deep snow instantly submerged their armed legs.

Xie Nanteng waved his hand, and a "Di Ting" was raised.

"Di Ting" made a slight humming sound, and instantly flew up to about two hundred meters in the air, hovered, automatically connected with the minds of the thirteen people, and moved synchronously following Xie Nanteng's position.

The thirteen people then bowed down and scattered, slowly surrounding the target location in a semicircle.

They moved carefully and slowly, keeping the creaking sound of stomping on the snow to a minimum, not wanting to alarm the enemies in the nest.

"Attention of the armed soldiers, about two hundred meters away from the nest, there will be an energy hand cannon and a large-caliber fire, it is estimated that the temporary nest will not be able to withstand the attack of seven armed bodies, hehe."

"Okay, Roger, Childe!"

"Roger, Childe, we'll confirm the information when it's in place!"

It is convenient to have "Di Ting" as a small-area communication enchantment, and the team command is like an arm's finger.

Seeing that the situation was controllable, Mr. Skullcap even made a joke:

"If there were grenades like those of the old days, if we threw a few into their nests, it would probably be more lively!"

"Haha, that's what Mr. Skullcap said!"

Everyone threw away information in the temporary enchantment, and they seemed more calm.

The distance is getting closer.

Not far away, the column of smoke behind the raised snow pack still rose without wind, and it seemed very calm.

There was silence, and the snow under their feet was trampled by everyone with a subtle gurgling sound.

About to get four hundred meters close to the target, everyone stopped communicating and secretly guarded to move slowly and carefully.

As soon as they approached the target area of 300 meters, suddenly, the scene changed drastically!

"Bang bang bang!"

The snow exploded in front of them, and a precise shot was fired!

The sound of gunfire burst through the silence of the snowfield.

The shots were made by black objects, which suddenly half-crouched up from the snow.

"Mechanical locusts!"

Dozens of black and heavy mechanical locusts suddenly rose from the snow and aimed their mouthparts at the group in a squatting posture!

Without any delay, the mouthparts of the mechanical locusts, the high-speed firing weapon, locked onto everyone and spat out tongues of fire!

Xie Nanteng and the others instantly transformed their bodies into energy bodies, and decisively ordered:

"Mechanical locusts of the Federation! Change the mission, lock the assigned target separately, and kill the mechanical locust! ”

The Warlock was the first to be struck and had feedback:

"The mechanical locust is not equipped with anti-equipment armor-piercing shells, and it can resist it!"

The seven armed bodies, which had been on guard for a long time, let the bullets of those mechanical locusts hit the armor of the armed with a clanging sound, and the bullets were shot out of white dots on the rounded armor, and the bullets flew away.

The armed low-level Warlock immediately locked his gun on the mechanical locusts and used the energy cannon to unleash a burst of fire!

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Every energy cannon erupted with a dazzling light!

The hard wound of the mechanical locust is that it is afraid of the electromagnetic cannon, and the shielding is not enough, and its internal electronic equipment will be burned in an instant!

In just a few seconds, dozens of mechanical locusts have been exploded one by one.

However, it is clear that this sneak attack has turned into an encounter.

The roof of the nest exploded, and several tall "gladiators" stood up, and immediately after, seven or eight gray-robed warlocks also appeared.

When Xie Nanteng's team saw the mechanical locusts, several people understood that the sneak attack had failed, so in the process of eliminating the mechanical locusts, they kept moving closer to Xie Nanteng.

Since the sneak attack failed, it was necessary to concentrate the formation and not give the enemy a chance to break through one by one.

Mr. Shinshi slowly rose up and levitated a few meters above Xie Nanteng's side:

"Hey, I'll just say, since it's the elite of the regular army of the Federation, it's impossible not to even have an outgoing sentry, it turns out that these iron lumps are used as sentry!"

"Ha, it's better for you to see it more accurately, I'm a little careless!"

Skullcap chuckled, and also raised his figure, staying in the air on the other side of Xie Nanteng.

On the side of the federal team, there is also a mage who rises into the sky, and he looks about the same age as Xinshi and Skullcap, and he looks like a middle-aged person.

The man obviously didn't expect that two high-ranking members of the opposing team had risen into the air, and his face looked a little like constipation.

Xie Nanteng chuckled, and his figure had disappeared:

"Ha, please two gentlemen, go pester that high-rank, let's try the depth and shallowness of the Federation elite!"

At the same time as throwing out the message, the other three mid-level comrades near him had already dodged into the attack range of the opponent's warlock!

Xie Nanteng's figure was erratic and flickering, but he threw out small fireballs one after another.

People who don't know Xie Nanteng will laugh secretly, in the face of the mid-level warlock battle, but spend energy throwing these small fireballs of the junior warlock, it is simply an idiot.

Obviously, the seven gray-robed mages of the Federation also subconsciously despised these small fireballs.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

Those little fireballs turned into a scorching sun explosion in an instant!

The power of each scorching sun blast is much more powerful than normal.

In an instant, the seven gray-robed mages on the other side had been blown out, looking very embarrassed!

Of course, this kind of fire spirit spell will do a lot of damage to low-level warlocks, but it may not be able to really hurt a few middle-level mages.

Several gray-robed mages flickered, avoiding Xie Nanteng's offensive lanes, and switched between energy bodies and entities several times, and the damage they received was almost none.

But the three middle-level players around Xie Nanteng had also arrived, and the powerful spells of the water spirit, wood spirit, and gold spirit were constantly thrown, and they temporarily gained the initiative.

The high-level mage on the other side who rose into the air has a good ability, but he can only be tired of dealing with the joint attack of Xinshi and Skullcap, and he can't even do a decent counterattack.

The cunning Xie Nanteng threw out those best "small fireballs" at the beginning, and his purpose was not to really hurt those mid-level mages.

His initial goal was to set on the five tall weapons at the end of the opponent's formation.

According to Xie Nanteng's prediction, the controller among these five "gladiators" must be a beginner-level warlock, so as long as Xie Nanteng can get close, there will be a level difference between these people inside the armed forces, and he has a crushing advantage!

Therefore, Xie Nanteng didn't care about the two gray-robed mages he was facing at all, and his body suddenly turned into an energy body, flashed between the two, appeared behind them, and approached a "gladiator"!

Xie Nanteng slapped his hand, pressed lightly on the protective armor of the arm, and then his figure flashed, and he appeared next to another "gladiator" again, concocting the same way.

When Xie Nanteng turned to the third armament, the "gladiator" who was first contacted by him made a bang!

The scorching sun burst from inside the armament, it was too tragic!

Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth armaments also exploded one after another!

But at this moment, Xie Nanteng's hair was about to stand on end, and a fierce vigilance surged from the depths of his heart!

That high-level mage unexpectedly dodged the letter stone and skullcap at once, and appeared in front of Xie Nanteng in an instant!

At that moment, Xie Nanteng's blood froze and his body stiffened!

A small ice arrow unexpectedly emitted a brilliant light, and it arrived in front of Xie Nanteng's eyes without warning!

But in the next moment, Xie Nanteng's front was dark, and Mr. Xinshi's arm actually blocked the small ice arrow in the form of a physical object, and the other hand was on Xie Nanteng's shoulder.

"Bang!"

With the muffled sound of ice arrows shooting into his muscles, Shinshi's arm exploded abruptly, splattering blood.

Xinshi snorted!

He understood that the time was too short at the moment to condense the shield, and he could only block it with the physical arm, otherwise, the ice arrow would penetrate the energy body and penetrate Xie Nanteng's head.

A warm spiritual power instantly dissolved the frozen ice energy in his body, allowing Xie Nanteng to regain his mobility.

He was short and sat down backwards.

Although it looks embarrassed, it can effectively dodge the opponent's continuous attacks.

At the same time, skullcap appeared behind the high-level mage, his face was pale, and his mouth was slightly soft:

"Damn it!"

The high-level mage's face turned blue instantly, and his figure quickly dissipated.

Xinshi and Skullcap would not allow him to escape, and they also dodged and followed up the Source Spirit World.

However, Xie Nanteng's attack strategy also instantly reminded the mages of the Federation.

Speaking of which, there are only four mid-level warlocks in Spirit Lake City's team, but there are seven on the federal side!

As a result, two gray robes also disappeared in an instant, appeared in the rear of the Spirit Lake team, and attacked the junior armed warlocks!

"Click!"

An armed "warrior" exploded.

It wasn't the fire spirit spell that exploded, but a huge boulder that blasted the mecha from the inside of the armament!

Blood and visceral debris steam up white and mixed in the armed debris!

The poor low-rank warlock had been squeezed by the boulder to a thin layer.

"Click!"

Another "warrior" instantly froze, and a thick layer of ice formed on the surface!

"Damn!!"

Xie Nanteng burst into a shout, his figure jumped up, and appeared beside one of the gray-robed ones!

His figure was lit up with golden flames!

This is his own most unique core technique, and even the energy body can be burned and corroded!

He originally planned to try not to use this magic technique if he was not at the high level, which would hurt his total mental power in the future, but at the moment, he couldn't take care of it.

After casting the Earth Spirit Technique, the mid-level mage had already turned his body into an energy body, and he simply ignored Xie Nanteng's flames.

But as soon as the flames touched him, he let out a miserable howl, his body dissipated, and he ventured into the Source Spirit World.

The other five low-level warlocks of the Spirit Lake Squad knew that it was time for life and death to be on the line, so they turned their weapons one after another and fired at the gray-robed warlock, the energy hand cannon and rapid-fire gun on the left and right arms, and fired at the same time!

The gray robe could not, it could only convert its body into an energy body.
