Chapter 684: Disappearing Evolution Point
However, in the past 20 years, the speed of the wheels of the times has left a large blank.
Twenty years ago, Canon was known as an iron wall that never fell. Twenty years later, the fortress has collapsed in the flames of war.
It's just that Lei Ming doesn't have time to sigh about these now.
After a salvo of missiles, enemy troops poured in again through the gap. Soon, they were divided into three strict teams and plunged into the army like sharp knives. His knights had not yet stabilized their position in the explosion just now, and without the protection of the steel defense line of the paladin mecha, the enemy army was like a tiger into the wolves. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Knights retreated.
The remaining three knight mechs have little impact on the battle situation, on the contrary, there is a squad in the Poseidon Army that specializes in dealing with this kind of mecha. Armed with electromagnetic rifles, members of the anti-armor unit opened fire on three mechs, which fired specially designed electromagnetic bullets that greatly interfered with the mech's operation and disabled their systems. Soon, the three mechs stopped moving, and the pilot couldn't even leave.
In this round of attack, the three warbands of the Poseidon Regiment all drove into the fortress. Hook, Manshan, and Cinderella each led a warband into the Knights, with the captains rushing to the front, using their different abilities to clear the way for the soldiers behind. The rest of the Knights are ordinary soldiers, and they have also lost the mecha unit, a high-level killing weapon that can contain them. The knights discovered that the tunnels of the fortress, while limiting the number of enemy troops, had become their nightmare at the same time.
Hook's sword, Brute's fist, and Cinderella's water ability are unleashed in these lanes, and the Knights have no way to hide. Often, the captains rushed in, disrupting the distribution in one of the alleys, and then the soldiers of the Poseidon Regiment in the back made up for it, and the machine guns in their hands fired in unison, and they shot the remaining enemies.
As the Poseidon continued to advance, the Knights of the Holy Seal were quickly cut into pieces like a piece of cake, and then eaten one by one.
Among the three battle groups, the water demon group of Cinderella advanced the fastest. Leah in the team followed the warband, and under the girl's perception, the distribution of the enemy army was clearly presented in Cinderella's mind. Based on the information provided by Leah, Cinderella constantly attacked the enemy's firepower points, and used the power of the Psychic Chain to mobilize the troops under her command like an arm.
If the warband of Hook and Manshan is a sharp long knife, then the Water Demon is a terrifying saw. Cinderella is the sharp tip of the knife, and with Leah's assistance, the soldiers who are flexibly mobilized to attack everywhere are the sawtooth. Under the impact of the Water Demon Order, the Knights were first stabbed open by the tip of the knife, and then the sawtooth on both sides frantically expanded the injury, causing the Knights to cause even greater blood loss!
Provoked by Su, Essien sent a detachment to leave. Now the Poseidon Regiment in the Canon Fortress has firmly eaten the Thundering Army in terms of the number of soldiers and the advantage of ability, and after losing the defensive support of the fortress, how can the Knights be the opponent of the Poseidon Order?
As for the current ability of the Knights, only Lei Ming's own guards remain. The captain of the lightning team, Holder, has been staring at the girl Haiwei and the wolf king Kaiton since the beginning of the war, and the highest rank of the team members below is only the sixth order, and the rest are all fourth- and fifth-order warriors. A team of more than ten people scattered across the entire fortress battlefield, like a few waves, which couldn't make waves at all.
Even Lei Ming himself was stared at by Zero. At this moment, when the number of capable people is seriously insufficient, Lei Ming knows that he has lost without thinking about it. But the captain in the cockpit was still expressionless, as if it was none of his business even if all the Knights were killed. He just stared at the enemy leader in front of him, a young man. With black hair and an oriental face, the seemingly slender body was full of explosive power in Lei Ming's eyes, and the golden pupils even made Lei Ming feel terrified.
If he had the emotion of fear.
It was the man in front of him who rushed into the gap alone, and used a dozen electromagnetic bombs to turn the armored troops on his side into a pile of scrap metal. Otherwise, there are paladin mechs in the way, and the enemy will have to pay some price if they want to storm the fortress. Often, these costs are not too small.
But because of him, the paladin mecha was scrapped, and then the tide of battle quickly tilted. In this process of constant repetition, the defeat of one's own army is only a matter of time. Even the captain of the guard, who he valued, stared at two capable people. One of them seems to be a high-level alien, and the werewolf wielding the ice flame is not like a mutant domain powerhouse, but more like a real alien.
The word alien has been missing for decades in the Western Continent, but now one has appeared in the fortress, and Liliang is not weak. However, what made Lei Ming more concerned was that the other party seemed to have too many capable people. In terms of the number of capable people, it has always been the shortcoming of the Pope's Hall. In the history of the Papal Chamber, the number of capable people in the first ten years is still quite large.
In that dark history, many capable people burst out with bright light. It is also because of them that they were able to defeat the alien races and mutant beasts in the era when mecha was not yet popular, and Zuihou cleared those dangerous lives out of the stage of the Western Continent. But in the following years, the ability gradually became scarce, and it became very difficult for the ability to advance.
The Pope's Hall had to shift its focus and devote resources to the development of knight mechs to make up for the lack of abilities.
When the mecha troops appeared in large numbers, many people thought that mecha had been able to replace the capable ones. But after this battle, perhaps the Papal Hall will realize that a high-level ability is simply not something that can be replaced by a dozen mechs. Even the Knights of the Round Table, who claim to be comparable to the high-level, are mediocre. And at this moment, Lei Ming is confirming this with his own actions.
The Knights of the Round Table are the third generation of mecha developed by the Pope's Hall, they are actually an advanced version of the Paladin Mecha, with the first premise of increasing firepower, and then adjusted and matched according to the style of each Legion Leader, so there are Knights of the Round Table with different styles. The reason for the birth of the Knights of the Round Table is that in the final analysis, it is caused by the scarcity of capable people, especially high-level ones.
The Knights of the Round Table were originally developed to protect the Legion Commanders and other high-level abilities. In fact, it also proves that with the Knights of the Round Table, the Legion Commanders have a second life. The performance of the Knights of the Round Table, combined with the reflexes and experience of high-level abilities, makes their performance comparable to that of high-level. And the excellent defense of the knight mecha, as well as the clever and fast detachment system, make the life of the legion leader on the battlefield have a greater guarantee.
But a mecha is a mecha, no matter how experienced the pilot is, no matter how fast the reaction is, the total combat power it can exert is only a high-level level. Of course, this is not too much of a problem in normal times, except for Cinderella, the leaders of the four pirate groups have just stepped into the threshold of the high level.
And even Cinderella is only at the ninth order of Liliang, but she doesn't know what microcontrol is. That's because between the Western Continent and the Central Continent, the former is obviously insufficient in terms of ability. Without enough high-level levels, there is naturally no corresponding research and experience precipitation. And even in the Central Continent, a realm like microcontrol is only in the hands of a very small number of people.
If Zero hadn't joined Valhalla and received a mention from Casirio, the Black Rose Butler, I'm afraid even he wouldn't know about the existence of the realm of microcontrol. And by the time he reached the beginning of this realm on his own, he didn't know how many years later. And with the mention, there are many detours, which is the difference between whether knowledge can be passed on.
The Knights of the Round Table are comparable to the high ranks, but Zero is not an ordinary high rank. Thor once told him that the eighth order is a watershed, and every time you move up to the next order, it will bring about a huge qualitative change. Zero is already the ninth order, so it is already out of the definition of a high-level ability person on the Western Continent.
So the knight of the round table under the control of thunder carried his gun like flying, but he couldn't even touch the corner of Zero's clothes.
Zero's right eye is spewing golden flames, and when the limit calculation is applied to itself, Zero is aware of every subtle movement of himself. During the duration of the limit operation, his liliang overflow value is controlled at about 8%, so that during the ability duration, each hit of zero will increase the power by 20%. And when you hit with all your might, the bonus stats can even be increased to 50%.
When this bonus is converted into velocity, zero is constantly flickering as it is now, and its trajectory is unpredictable, causing the Knights of the Round Table to miss their guns. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be irritable and difficult now, but Lei Ming didn't see emotional ups and downs. He just mechanically repeats the steps of tracking, locking, and attacking, as if he repeats it thousands of times without getting tired.
But even so, when the gap between the two sides has formed an irreparable void, such insistence seems to be useless.
The knight's spear missed again, and a few dodges had already grabbed the knight's arm along the spear. Lei Ming did not hesitate, and the shoulder linked missile salvo. The missile dragging the flame tail didn't need to hit the knight's spear for even a second, the light flickered, and the missile exploded. The Knight Captain and one of the arms of the Knight of the Round Table were blown off, but there was no zero in the flames.
Zero appears behind the Knights of the Round Table and stomps on it.
A dozen afterimages outlined Zero's movements, and when the afterimages converged with Zero's right foot in no particular order, his toes were on the back armor of the Knight of the Round Table. The armor immediately fell silently, and Thunder activated the disengagement device as soon as possible, and the entire cockpit bounced out of the mech. The electric fire flickered behind the mecha, and then turned into a huge fireball.
The fireball exploded with a bang, and the flying parts wrapped in flames like a rain of fire.
At the House of the Sea, Billy studied Mamilo's Knights of the Round Table. Knowing that under the armor behind the Knight of the Round Table is actually a high-energy battery of a mecha, the armor that protects the high-energy battery is very strong, and it is difficult to disassemble it even if it is bombarded with missiles. But Zero's kick stacked more than a dozen attacks and narrowed the attack to within ten centimeters, causing point destruction.
Despite the fact that the number and accuracy of bursting barrages were not reached, it was enough to tear through the armor of the battery. As soon as the high-capacity battery inside is destroyed, it will either deprive the mecha of its power source or explode violently as it sees.
This is the Achilles' heel of the Knights of the Round Table, and it may not be obvious against ordinary Eighth Order. But once you run into a high-level like Zero, the Knights of the Round Table are just big toys.
Falling to the ground, the duration of the limit operation was reduced by 5 seconds, which was the price of the kick just now.
The driver's compartment that fell not far away suddenly shattered, and Thunder walked out of it. His hands began to generate high-voltage electric currents, and then his whole body was enveloped in strong electric currents. As the lightning roared, several thunderballs were formed that rotated around the body. These thunderballs can both defend and attack, and are very flexible. Under the action of a large number of electric charges, Thundering's hair was raised, and the expressionless Legion Commander suddenly leaned forward and swept towards Zero.
The electric light dragged across his fists, forming two brilliant flames of light. However, the closer it got to zero, the light flame was disappearing, and in its place the thunderous fists were getting brighter and brighter. All the light electricity to Zuihou contracted in those fists, forming an extremely dazzling brilliance, like Lei Ming holding two miniature suns in his hands.
It was these two clusters of brilliance that were not much bigger than fists, but they revealed awe-inspiring power, and the electric rays overflowed from them, floating in the air for a long time.
Zero showed a solemn expression, he knew that those two clouds of light were the essence of Lei Ming's whole body energy. Don't dare to slack off, the power on his body exploded, and several blood-red energy bands floated out, and Zero Zhen really activated the ninth-order liliang.
One step, zero forward. When he stopped again, he had already appeared behind Lei Ming.
Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his body suddenly became empty. The huge energy that gathered together frantically overflowed from the body, died, and was uncontrollable. He lowered his head with difficulty, only to realize that there was a huge blood hole in his chest at some point. From this side of the blood hole, you can even see half of the figure of the head zero, and there is still free energy left on the edge of the blood hole, obviously there is an extremely dense mass of energy running through the past just now, and it will leave such an injury on the body.
The electric light on his fists gradually dissipated, like a beast that had just bared its fangs, and before it had time to roar, it had not yet retreated into the depths of its lair.
Lei Ming fell, a stunned expression on his face. Since his birth, he has imagined thousands of endings, but this silent death is by no means any of the endings he envisions.
Zero's fist trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath to calm the surging energy in his body. With a seemingly simple punch just now, Zero has already used all his strength. The two glories in Lei Ming's hand are too dangerous, and once he is given a chance to break out, I am afraid it will be no less than a small nuclear explosion. The fortress is only so big that a small nuclear explosion would be enough to sweep it away.
Most of the soldiers will die, and only a few of them will survive, and they will have to pay the price of serious injuries.
When Thunder gathered these two clusters of brilliance, Zero knew that he had decided to feast himself in the most splendid way. Able to make this determination in a short period of time, despite the different positions of the two sides, Lei Ming, like the Carromon before him, is a respectable opponent.
Shooting with zero strength is also a way to respect the opponent.
At that moment, a small half of the limit operation was used to maintain the precision and control required for the bursting barrage, and the rest was thrown on Thundering's body, allowing Zero to grasp the best entry point. If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to take away Thunder's vitality with one punch, so that the energy on his punch would naturally dissipate. Otherwise, as long as Lei Ming didn't die on the spot, he had every chance to detonate the energy on the fist, and that result was not something he wanted.
But what made Zero incomprehensible was that after killing Lei Ming, he couldn't get half an evolution point!
It's impossible, the last time he killed Carromon in Roaring Bay, he got a full 50 evolution points. Lei Ming and Caromon are opponents of the same level, so there's no reason why they can't get half an evolution point. Zero recalls everything, then looks thoughtfully at Thunder's corpse. In the memory replay just now, the thunder that Zero saw was calm and decisive, like an emotionless machine that only gave orders that were best for itself.
In this whole process, even when Zuihou chose to die together, Lei Ming did not change in the slightest. This can no longer be described as calm, if you have to describe it, the thunder is like removing the feelings. But even so, you shouldn't lose half an evolution point.
But in any case, the war in the fortress of Canon is nearing its end. The Knights have basically torn the Poseidon to shreds, and Hoddle has been reduced to a corpse by the combination of Hevi and Cayton. At four o'clock in the morning, the war was declared over. The Sixth Order is a thing of the past, and after the war, counting the casualties, less than a hundred people survived in the Order, and the rest have been turned into corpses.
At dawn, Su and others returned to the fortress. Essien was killed, more than half of the soldiers of the 5th Regiment were killed, and the rest had fled along the bloodstained road.
By the time the daylight came back on, Zero was already sitting in the main building of the fortress.
Next is the inventory of the battlefields.
In this battle, the fortress Canon lost two legion commanders, and the battle-damaged Knights of the Round Table had one and the other was quietly laid shelf in the mech warehouse. Naturally, this mecha Zero didn't plan to let it go, he wanted to wait for Mamiro to come, and let the former legion commander guide and guide the operation of the mecha. As for who will operate it, Zero has not yet decided, and it will not be too late to decide when Mamiro comes.
As for the Knights, more than 2,800 soldiers were killed in battle, and about 100 of the wounded soldiers survived, and the rest had fled from the bloodstained road. Except for the soldiers, the Paladins were all wiped out, and Zero couldn't recover it even if he wanted to. But what is more serious is that the city wall and a small half of the buildings have been destroyed, so that the fortress Canon has no defense power at all.
This was a bit of a surprise in his calculations, and the most he calculated was that the destruction of the walls would be a single blow. I didn't expect Essien's reaction to be so fierce, and he didn't hesitate to destroy the city wall to fight back against the trident. In this case, the cost of rebuilding the fortress will have to be calculated separately.
