Chapter 158: The Worm Tower, and a guy with extremely poor quality

The two troops that encountered unexpectedly exchanged fire without accident.

With the instruments they were working on, the Authority team was the first to discover the rescue team of the Turbidity Abyss Force.

They decisively activated the "small-caliber" automatic cannon on the floating armored vehicle and took the lead in attacking.

Two armoured vehicles, with a total of four 25mm vehicle-mounted automaton cannons, fired 12 powerful alloy slugs in the first wave.

Even an extraordinary individual of the third order quality, without professional shields, armor, or spell protection, would never be able to carry such a shell.

However, the automatic cannon did not fire continuously.

In just the first photo, the Turbidity Abyss rescue team lost more than half of its personnel, which made the Authority team instantly relieved.

As is customary for law enforcement, they turned off the automatic cannons, and then let the forward fighters of the squad quickly approach and prepare for contact combat.

On the one hand, this habit is to save ammunition, but more importantly, it is to maximize the acquisition of information, at least to leave a whole corpse for the enemy.

After all, they are reconnaissance squads, not specialized attack troops.

The Turbidity Abyss rescue team was caught off guard by the shells, and the [Armored Wurmists] and [Oracle Bone Ape] in the front row were almost completely wiped out, and the survivors could only quickly disperse and hide to find cover.

At this time, they all lit up with a faint gray film.

It was the one still floating low, and it was the one who shielded all allies.

"The standard spell shield needs to be actively maintained all the time, the instantaneous damage bearing limit is very low, and the overall [damage bearing pool] is also very low, but the versatility is very good.

This guy should be a fusion species, retaining the spell-casting ability of the human part, around the third order, and he doesn't have much equipment on his body. ”

Wang Shui looked at the light screen and commented synchronously.

Before the first round of the battle was over, the Turbidity Abyss rescue team fell into a clear disadvantage.

In about four seconds, the front row of the Authority's vanguard was already maneuvering into position, and they attacked with a wide standard longsword, swift and fierce.

But just as they were nearing the mending knife, the fused species that was in the back position slowly raised his right hand.

A large purple gem flew out of its hand and began to wrap around it.

Visible ripples of energy spread in all directions, soon encompassing the warriors of the Authority, as well as the corpses of the newly dead creatures of the Abyss on the ground.

The sense of crisis spread simultaneously, and the fighters in front immediately reacted correctly - rushing towards the fusion species.

But in the same way, the fusion species is not a combat idiot, it stretched out its left hand, and the faint annular shockwave swept away, rolling up a large amount of dust while directly sweeping several fighters away.

Fast and powerful.

""Material-free casting", "Spell instant", "Spell silent", well, and "Spell Potence"......"

Wang Shui muttered as he activated the energy auxiliary line function of the spell array, and a large number of lines representing the flow of energy immediately appeared on the light screen.

These lines form a rough spell model framework, and if you can't observe them live, aqua regia really needs these auxiliary lines.

"Tsk, the classic [Riemann configuration] is actually still an academic school, but there are a lot of bad problems, and there are a lot of useless extensions.

Judging from the general structure, it should be a model of the life field, and there are 12 spells that can be directly charged and released, but I can't tell what it is. ”

When Wang Shui commented on this, the spell on the side of the fusion species had already begun to take effect.

A large amount of cold green energy converged into a visible "energy silk", which was slowly injected into the bodies of those newly dead turbidity creatures.

Just as the warriors of the Authority stood up, the creatures of the Abyss, who had fallen to the ground, also stood up.

They still have signs of being shattered by 25mm shells, but those that have penetrated the wounds have grown purple crystal branches as bones, and where the muscles are missing, new dark red flesh is wriggling and reborn.

A scuffle is on the verge of breaking out!

The blades of the bone armor minions and the standard long sword clashed, and a dull sonorous sound immediately sounded on the scene.

Fighting on the battlefield is far less spectacular than fighting in the ring or in the arena.

The battlefield environment is more complex and dangerous, and there is a one-to-many demand, so soldiers are more inclined to solve opponents quickly and directly, rather than skillful battles with a game nature.

But at the same time, there will also be grappling on the battlefield, grappling fueled by life.

"Red Alert! Fire with all your might! ”

The internal communication channel of the Authority team resounded with the low roars of the forward fighters, and reliable remote support in the back row arrived immediately.

Only this time, even a vehicle-mounted cannon can't easily damage the enemy.

The creatures of the Abyss who had regained their feet had not only grown heavy crystal bone armor, but also had been covered with a thin shimmer shield.

These inconspicuous shields are very effective against the kinetic attacks of ordinary ammunition.

"Kill the caster first! Change the anti-magic ammo! ”

The Authority's three squads of shooters, spellcasters, and support personnel quickly approached the battle four or five hundred meters away while communicating efficiently.

They needed to get closer, and the entire battlefield of the encounter was too far away by their subconscious raid.

As a result, they now have very limited firepower delivery capabilities, except for vehicle-mounted automaton cannons.

On the other side, the fusion species of the Turbidity Abyss Rescue Team was still suspended in mid-air not high above the ground.

It's not stupid, it has to fly as a target, it just needs good vision to support friendly forces and observe the entire battlefield.

It maintains more than a dozen shimmer shields, maintains the false life of the front-row fighters, and also interferes with the casting of spells in the enemy's back row, interferes with long-range strikes, and interferes with the enemy's approach.

Almost single-handedly, he resisted the assault of the three elite squads of the Authority.

And for itself, it also has other back hands to stay safe.

Suddenly, in the gloomy sky, a dazzling blue lightning bolt suddenly fell, slashing directly at the fusion species.

Thunder and lightning abilities have always been the favorite of most transcendents.

Lightning Energy is not pure electricity, it is also a mixture of occult properties, it has a unique speed and suddenness, and is always able to destroy opponents by surprise.

But this time, the lightning didn't hurt the fusion species, nor did it interrupt its continuous spells.

At the same time as the lightning fell, a faint yellow film of light quickly rose beyond the gray shimmer shield of the fusion species.

Professional lightning resistance shield that easily eats the thunderbolt.

The fusion species also quickly locked on to the source of the thunder and lightning energy, and with a tap of the air with its left hand, the ruins around it immediately offered five stone spears for it, and the energy field surged, and the stone spears immediately shot out at high speed!

"Found it." Wang Shui, who had been observing the battlefield, said suddenly.

He reoriented the screen to look away from the increasingly fierce fighting and instead looked at the corner of an abandoned building.

Mia also has little interest in fighting, she doesn't look down on the combat power of both sides, she just literally doesn't care who wins or loses.

Following the perspective controlled by Wang Shui, in the corner of the ruins, there was indeed a strange distribution of energy fields.

"The pale yellow lightning shield just now wasn't released by the fusion species itself."

Wang Shui began to explain, and at the same time, on the light screen, he drew four columns that were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, all of which were hidden in different ruins, and they were all invisible.

"This is the [Turbidity Beetle], they are usually like basic construction units in RTS games, they can quickly transform the environment and save friendly forces, but on the Turbidity side, their main role is to become this kind of pillar.

This pillar is called the Temporary Turbidity Beetle Pylon, and we Awakened are used to calling it the Worm Tower, and will prioritize finding and destroying it in battle.

[Worm Tower] can not only be stealthy, but also has quite good defensive capabilities, but if you don't solve them, the combat power of the Turbidity Abyss side will be increased by at least fifty percent.

It's like the lightning shield on the body of the fused species just now, which was released by this worm tower.

Yes, they not only amplify spells, enhance allies, and provide energy transfer and calculation aids to their individual spellcasters, but they can also actively cast spells to protect allies.

The four worm towers are equivalent to four spell amplifiers, four external energy pools, four external computing cores, and four simple spell triggers.

If they weren't knocked out, the elite squads of the three Authorities would surely die, even if they had more third-order transcendentals. ”

"Are you going to help them?"

"Of course, no."

Wang Shui gave an absolute reply, and then began to evoke all the arrays in the hideout.

For a while, a large amount of blue light poured in from all directions, connecting to Wang Shui's body.

He stood in the light, his hands reaching into the two circles of light in front of him, which were the control points of the array.

Next, the surrounding light screens began to switch display content, from the real screen to complex data, text information, and three-dimensional array models.

Aqua regia left a monitoring window for the target [Worm Tower], and then began the operation.

Of course, he didn't forget to explain two sentences to Mia:

"The lack of awareness to find and destroy the [Worm Tower] is the problem of the Authority team itself, there is no business dealings, and I have no reason to take action.

However, with their disruption, we can directly confront the Turbidity Abyss rescue team, and now as long as we can "steal" that worm tower, we will immediately slip away.

Hmm—278 meters? Normally, spell control isn't that far, but I've got plenty of arrays in place.

Okay, the charge is complete, the amplification module is normal, the external energy pool is normal, and the "Spell Node Drone" is in place......"

Wang Shui, whose voice was becoming more and more perfunctory, directly took out the [Dangerous Goods Warehouse] secret card, that's right, it was the one that Wang Shui "took" from Mia before they entered the landing module.

With the help of the spatial ciphertext information on the secret card, Wang Shui used the huge array arranged in advance to build an unconventional spatial spell model - [Lost Key].

That's right, with the same name as the master-level spatial work he once compiled, this model is based on the summary and improvement of his master-level spatial ability.

The complexity and delicacy of this model always made Wang Shui can't help but want to show it, but unfortunately he didn't dare to make it public at will.

And the people around her, whether it is Mia, Sylvia and her sisters, are completely incomprehensible.

I was a little helpless in my heart, but it didn't affect Wang Shui's operation at all.

He used a micro-UAV to approach reconnaissance, accurately locked the space around the target, and then used the drone as a relay node to drop the model of the space spell into a distance.

At the same time, aqua regia also began to measure and calm the spatial density of the neighborhood.

When Mia could also sense something strange in the space around her, Wang Shui had already arrived in the center of the narrow hideout.

He destroyed all the debris, piled it up against the wall, and then opened a silver-gray energy rift, and pulled out a tall crystal jar from the crack, and inside was a simple silver-gray longsword that was placed in the air.

In front of the small grid of the long sword, there were two diamond-shaped columnar gems, one bright red and the other dark green.

They stretched out lines of the corresponding colors, intertwining and merging on the spine of the sword, forming a simple ornament of dark gold, and some words that Mia couldn't read.

Wang Shui pulled out the long sword, and then casually threw it back into the energy rift, leaving only the crystal jar outside.

Seeing Mia's somewhat curious gaze, Wang Shui made up two sentences:

"Forget that sword just now, like my spatial abilities, these are to be kept secret."

Mia regained a silent mood of agreement in the network of thoughts, and didn't ask anything more.

Wang Shui didn't ask much, he just quickly placed the jar, redrew some more arrays, and then completely activated the arrays without any explanation.

For a while, the hideout was full of light, and the surging energy fluctuations were difficult to hide, but there was no need to hide it now.

The battle in the distance continued, and none of them noticed the situation on this side at the first time, so Wang Shui was relieved to overload the array.

Boom - Tom -

The slight roar of explosions, along with the sound of buildings collapsing, finally caught the attention of the Authority team and the Turbidity Squad.

But the explosion point was about three hundred meters away from them, which was a long charge distance, not like a sneak attack.

So after leaving some attention, almost all of them didn't think much about it, after all, the ruins had just formed, and it was normal for some to collapse.

The only one who noticed the anomaly was the fusion caster in the Turbidity Abyss Rescue Team.

It suddenly found that its four amplifiers [Worm Tower] seemed to be missing one?

The link between spirit and energy came to an abrupt end, and the fusion species had completely lost more than one-fifth of its computing power, making its mind a little empty, but its mind was even busier.

This is a peculiar negative state.

The first reaction of the fusion species was that the Worm Tower was dealt with by the assassins of the Authority team.

Although it had never encountered such a simple disappearance, since it had already happened, it could only protect the other insect towers first, and seize the time to kill this group of arrogant Authority elites.

The Authority team on the other side has lost the relaxation they had at the beginning, and their situation no longer allows them to be distracted.

Those turbidity creatures that were chopped into meat sauce and could also be reborn through the crystal skeleton had already killed nine of the twenty-one people in their three squads.

They used all kinds of means, all kinds of destructive props, but they couldn't kill those who kept coming back to life, and it was these attempts that caused them to suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time.

This kind of downturn is not because they are not capable, but because the war has just begun, and the Authority side does not have much detailed information on the Turbidity Abyss.

The most abundant intelligence reserves in the Turbidity Abyss are naturally organizations such as the [Dream System] and the [Demon Hunter].

These organizations, which usually do dirty work, are independent and self-contained foreign forces, and they certainly do not share intelligence for free.

But then again, even if the "Midtown Authority" or the "City Council" has money, and various organizations are willing to sell information, this level of information transfer and collation will take time.

You know, today is the first day of the war, and the war has only started for half a day!

The explosion episode of less than a second did not particularly affect the battle situation, and without the fusion species of the worm tower, it was still very easy to slaughter these transcendents without heavy firepower.

All that remained on the battlefield were short wails, and increasingly sparse explosions.

Under the extreme pressure of the fusion species, different voices finally sounded in the voice channels of each team.

"C6 calls C0, captain, you can withdraw, as usual, I will come to the palace."

In the communication channel, which has always been efficient communication with only short sentences, the striker fighter suddenly gave calm tactical advice.

The captain, codenamed "C0", did not reply immediately for the first time.

Same as usual...... How could it be the same!

Usually they face only some fierce gangs, crazy cultists, or monsters that inexplicably appear in the city for various reasons.

Those dangers have not reached the intensity of war, and those enemies are not as calm and powerful as war opponents, and they are all-rounded.

In normal times, the team will always be able to evacuate safely by means of mobility, and then outsource the dangerous work to the bounty hunters.

And now, they have been bitten and must offer some "sacrifice" in order to make the Grim Reaper let go.

C0, the leader of Team C, falls into the commander's taboo called "Hesitation".

He didn't think he could order a member of the team to die, and he couldn't bear to watch his comrades-in-arms who had been born and died with him for nearly ten years die in this nameless ruins.

However, just a moment of hesitation, a floating armored vehicle suddenly stopped suppressing fire, and then, with its strong air mobility ability, quickly turned around and drove towards the rear.

The voice of the captain of Team A came from the public channel-

"Brothers, the battle is very unfavorable, we must make a choice!

Thank you for your dedication, the Midtown Authority will be proud of you, and the city will be restored to peace because of the information we brought back! Your family will also be well taken care of!

Hats off, brothers! You are the heroes of humanity! It's a solid barrier to the real world!

I am proud to have fought alongside you, and I will avenge you eventually! Until the abyss is completely repelled! ”

There was silence in the channel.

C0 immediately noticed that the public channel of the three teams had entered a locked state after the captain of Team A finished speaking, and only his generous statement was left in the channel.

Heh, C0 sneered.

What brings back intelligence, what pride, is nothing more than wanting to leave audio evidence, so that he can cover up his rout in the subsequent report.

The purpose of locking the channel is to prevent the forward fighters from saying things that are not conducive to his career......

As for bringing back intelligence?

Scold...... The information they have in their hands is nothing more than the reality they see with their eyes, as well as a small amount of measurement data, which has long been synchronized to the command center and brought back with him?

However, according to the urine nature of the Authority, Shangfeng probably won't be too aggressive.

It's just - after the loss of an armored vehicle and the long-range support of a full six people, the front of the forward fighters immediately showed signs of collapse!

The Authority's squad is declining in power, while the enemy is getting stronger.

Their bodies, which had been cut and crushed, had fused and multiplied into giants with flesh and purple crystals.

"Captain! Look no further! Leave with C1 and C2! Me and my AB team striker brothers can hold out a little longer! Captain! The squad leader of Team B was also in the car before, and they were all gone! ”

There were also two surviving support members C1 and C2 in Team C, who did not speak, but quietly waited for the captain's orders.

This time, C0 didn't dare to think about it for too long.

“C…… Owen, I owe you my life, your family, and I'll take care of it! C1,C2! Keep the fire suppressed! Let's withdraw! ”

The trio quickly emptied their bodies of projectiles and left almost all of their supplies behind, and then at the same time turned to the last armored vehicle.

This is the way they often use to run after breaking, but usually these supplies are to disturb the enemy's will, only this time, they are left to C6, leaving them with the most solid barrier.

C0's vision is starting to blur.

He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't shed a tear, and the heavy tears fell on the soft armor on his chest, making his steps stagger a little.

Seven meters, five meters, three meters.

Even in the blurred vision, the door of the armored car has become clear, and the ark leading to the "life" is already within reach.

Then, the ark ran away......

In the empty cab, a large amount of verification information quickly swiped on the dashboard.

The high-performance floating armored vehicle makes a sensitive backward steer, and then simultaneously activates the power assist propulsion module.

C0 watched the unmanned armored vehicle burrow into the ruins of the complex environment with an extremely difficult maneuver, and then flew close to the ground to the extreme, quickly disappearing from his sight.

Scold...... Hahaha, hahahaha! Irving! I don't owe you anything!
