Chapter 462: Night Attack (2)
In the telescope, there is a night sky of firelight and black clouds. Clearly visible lines of fire pointed diagonally from the ground to the sky and stirred in the black clouds. Occasionally, the light of the fire illuminates the things in the black clouds, and a series of hideous flying beasts appear in Thor's sight.
Thor lowered his binoculars, and even though he was through the Shadow Canyon, he could still hear the gunfire coming from the other side of the canyon.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and without looking back, Thor knew it was his brother coming.
"Why, can't sleep? Looks like you haven't been on the battlefield for too long. Tyr's hearty voice rang out.
Thor said lightly: "You don't do the same. ”
"No, I didn't sleep because I was thinking about how to launch a general attack in ten days. Tyr shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
Thor turned: "In that case, I would like to ask you a question, Honorable God of War. ”
"Come on, it's not good for you to use honorifics. Tyr daxiao patted his brother's shoulder, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Do you want to ask, since the Arc de Triomphe Bridge is not completely impassable, Weishenme will not send troops over one after another, but let your three squads go to the west end to guard the bridge?"
"I really can't hide anything from you. Thor looked at the fire in the night sky to the west and said, "I can understand that your golden battle axe has been seriously damaged in the past half a year, so you will not move for the time being. But my Hammer of Doom is different, we are a new force, and the passage of the bridge is narrow, but it will not be difficult for my warriors. So I can't understand that you're asking me to send only three squads over during the day, even if they're indeed my elite fighters. ”
Tyr kept smiling, and it wasn't until Thor finished speaking that he was confident that he said, "From this you can see the difference between you and me, Thor, my good brother." There is no doubt that you are a fierce warrior and a beloved regimental commander. No offense, but you're not a haode commander. ”
Thor smiled, but didn't refute.
Tyr looked at the night sky to the west and said in a deep voice, "A qualified commander should consider the situation of the entire battle situation, not just one place and one city. Just like where I'm now, I'm thinking about how to take the enemy city in the shortest possible time. It's not like I haven't thought about what you're saying, but Thor, guarding the bridge is never our real purpose. Rather, it's a means on our way to victory in Zuihou, and I don't think it's necessary to invest a lot of resources, including your hammer of destruction, to defend the Arc de Triomphe. ”
"Three squads, five high-level and other advanced abilities, and hundreds of servants. In my opinion, ten days of holding the bridge is more than enough. What's more, even if I let your men pass in large numbers, have you ever thought that if the defenders are too strong, I am afraid that it will cause the other party to attack in advance. At that time, our bridge was impassable, and the tanks and heavy weapons could not be transported to the other side of the canyon, and the losses would be even heavier. ”
"On the contrary, as long as the defender's liliang is still within the enemy's acceptable range, it will not attract too fierce attacks. After all, those guys have just woken up from hibernation, and they need to get the soldiers back up, which will also take time. During this time, it was impossible for them to launch a group attack if they were not necessary, so the best they encountered was a small and medium-sized harassment war. As soon as the bridge is completed in ten days, we can launch a general attack and take the enemy city in one fell swoop, which is the result I want. Tyr looked at his brother and said lightly, "What's more, you don't trust them." I've heard that kid is tied with you. With such a talent, ten days will not be a problem for him. ”
"Well, you're right, Commander. Thor shook his head and smiled.
Tyr lightly elbowed Thor between his ribs and said, "Don't come and play with me." ”
It's just that the god of war said it easily, and Zero on the other side of the canyon may not be so happy.
After attracting the attention of all the Pelidons above the town, Zero swept out of the town at full speed. Behind him, nearly a thousand flying beasts chased wildly, and they gathered into a black cloud, scrambling to fly towards Zero. Zero speed is raised to the limit, and shadow jumps are occasionally used. But even so, it's only a little faster than the speed of the flying beast.
Although the Pelidons are not capable of long-range flight, they are extremely fast at short distances, and they are not slow if not zero. If other people are afraid that they will have been entangled by these flying beasts, but even so, occasionally one or two flying beasts will rush to Zero's side and bite their claws.
Usually, Zero will reward them with a point shot.
Like at this moment, a Pelidon flying beast passed by Zero. The flying beast was going to hover and wrap around Zero from the front, but Zero reacted quickly, and the muzzle of the Golden Rose in his hand shook, and in the flickering firelight, a bullet was sent into the flying beast's head.
The lifeless flying beast fell to the ground, and Zero quickly crossed it. And because of inertia, it crashed into the same kind of cluster behind it, knocking down a dozen flying beasts that couldn't escape.
From a distance, Zero was seen galloping across the wilderness outside the town, with a long black tail trailing behind him.
Seeing that they couldn't catch up, some of the flying beasts swept into the air and fired cyan light bullets. A light bomb that extracts energy from cells in the body and releases it in some way. For ordinary people, it is very threatening, but for a person with a high-level ability like Zero, the light bullet is very limited in terms of speed and power. Even if they make the sky feel like a meteor shower, no matter how much rain it takes, it will have to hit zero.
Zero is like a Vietnam War soldier piercing through the rain of light, and the energy light bombs of the Pelidons exploded on the ground and constantly bounced up pillars of smoke, but none of the light bullets could hit Zero, and they couldn't even hinder him for a moment. After discovering this, the flying beasts became even more irritable. They are like bulls enraged by a matador, chasing after Zero with red eyes, hoping for a chance to pounce on Zero and tear this dangerous human to shreds.
Zero seems to be at ease, but it's close to its limit. Avoiding light bullet attacks at top speed is a great test of his brain's computing power. There are even times when the ability to activate the "prophet" without interruption can achieve such an impressive record.
But he also has limits, and now Zero has a faint feeling that he is about to touch the limit line.
No one knows what it will be like if the limit is crossed, and if it were a different time and place, Zero might be interested in trying. But not now, now he can't afford to make any mistakes. Because even the slightest mistake can have fatal consequences.
"Damn, Brown, are you alright? I'm afraid I don't have the strength to take these guys to a marathon anymore!" Zero shouted through Leah, the psychic chain between him and Brown.
Brown was quick to respond: "It's all set." Head, bring them over, I'm at this coordinates."
Zero quickly cleared Brown's direction and sped forward. A moment later, he saw Brown in the distance. Brown was half-kneeling on the ground, carrying a wind-pulling launcher on his shoulder. The surface of the launcher is painted silver-gray and has a streamlined shape, full of anachronistic style.
"Ready, head. I'll give you a hint and get out of the way when you hear my prompt. I need you to stay as far away from the explosion as possible, I think you know the range of this thing, and I don't want you to get involved in the core of the explosion. ”
"Got it!"
In response in his mind, Zero ran straight ahead. The Pellidons at the back don't seem to have discovered Brown and his murder weapon, which is naturally not the case. It's just that Zero at this moment is the first in the clearing sequence of these flying beasts, so they can't sleep at all to pay attention to Brown in the distance.
"Now, get out of the way!"
Brown's heaviness suddenly sounded in his mind, and Zero used up the fastest speed in his life to move sideways and roll. At the end, several shadows flickered and threw out, leaving him with a remnant and disappearing in an instant.
A ghostly light flashed through the dark wilderness.
Before the beasts could figure out what was happening, something like a torpedo suddenly crashed into their swarm. Two of the unlucky flying beasts were hit squarely, and when they were dazed, the "torpedo", which was the same color as the launcher, suddenly disintegrated, split into dozens of slender silver tubes and flew out.
In the next moment, dozens of flashes of light appeared in the group of flying beasts one after another. When Zuihou finished a flash, a plasma fireball rose in the herd of flying beasts without warning, and then expanded rapidly in an instant, turning Zuihou into a fire cloud nearly a hundred times larger.
The fire cloud illuminated the entire wilderness, and the flying beasts in the center of the fire cloud exploded directly into ashes, while the flying beasts on the periphery let out a wail, but only turned into fireballs and fell to the ground weakly. The clouds of fire swirled like a vortex of flames. It wasn't until all the heat energy was poured out that it turned into a thick black mushroom cloud and slowly rose into the air.
Zero was lying on the ground, half-tilted, wordlessly looking at the mushroom cloud that was no less than the result of a small nuclear explosion. He was surprised that Brown's plasma missile was so terrifyingly powerful. He was sure that under the coverage of the fire clouds, no flying beast would be able to survive the terrifying heat. It can be seen that the weapons of the new era are amazingly powerful, and in addition to this advantage, they are also very environmentally friendly.
A tall figure appeared in front of Zero's eyes, and Brown grinned crookedly as he carried the very sleek launcher. He stretched out his hand towards Zero and said, "Well done, safe entry!"
"You're doing a good job, a real home run. Zero sighed as he reached out and clasped Brown's rough hand together.
At the same time, on the canyon on the west side of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, Staley whistled and said, "Look, that kid is doing a good job. That cloud of plasma fire looks like it should be the credit of the plasma missile, damn, it's good to have money, all kinds of weapons of mass destruction are so lost, even if they are high-level, they can't bear it. ”
"Hmph!" James disagreed: "What's so proud of borrowing foreign means, not to mention the legendary thirteenth order, even if it only reaches the tenth order or above, such a weapon is basically no threat." ”
With that, James left Starley behind and returned to the camp alone. The martial artist shrugged, and his gaze in the direction of the town became serious: James, don't you know that sometimes the so-called foreign means are also a kind of strength. ”
Stretching, Staley yawned and shuffled toward his tent. It seemed that there would be no other attack from the enemy tonight, and his colleagues did not seem to be in the mood to chat, so Staley had to go back to the camp and sleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, when Staley, who had just woken up, grabbed vodka and drank water, he unexpectedly received a request from Zero to invite him to meet James. Whether it was due to his co-op ties or his performance last night, Staley couldn't refuse the request. Because, this is the minimum respect for the strong.
If before that, Staley didn't have to take Zero as a rising star in his eyes. So after last night's fight, Zero and his team used their strength to tell Starley that he was enough to be equal to himself or James. Even if he used the outside methods that James said.
Outside the tent, Starley saw zero in the distance. Zero didn't come alone, he was followed by a man and a woman. Starley knew that the two were also high-rank, the male was the Great Swordsman and the female was the Destroyer. This made Staley both envious and jealous, and God knows how Zero had turned the two high-level soldiers into his chariot. And in addition to these two high-ranks, Starley also knew that he had multiple advancement abilities.
In the new era, the ability is wealth.
Zero, who has two high-level and multiple advancement abilities, is undoubtedly a wealthy man. So in Staley's eyes, there is no difference between a zero and a moving mountain of gold.
The meeting place was in James's tent.
As soon as they met, James asked directly: "I don't know what made you come to us early in the morning, I hope it's not bad news." ”
Zero Mo replied, Feng behind him tilted his head and said, "Don't worry, we won't accuse the two adults of standing by last night." ”
Starley smiled, knowing that Kaede was deliberately going against the grain. He didn't point it out at the moment, but said lightly: "You are all new to the Doomhammer, so you may not know our tactical style. Generally speaking, when a squad is fighting, the combat area is considered to be the home of that squad. Other teams will not intervene unless instructed to do so by the leader. So you see, it's not that we're just sitting on the sidelines, it's just a matter of habit. ”
Kaede snorted and said, "Sometimes, it's really not easy to tell whether you don't meddle easily or die or don't save yourself, the two of you say yes, right?"
James' eyes widened, how could he have been accused like this, and he was about to have a seizure right now. Seeing Zero raise his hand, Kaede shrugged his shoulders and took two steps back to signal that he would not speak again, and James gave up.
Zero coughed dryly and said, "I'm not here today to discuss the fighting style of the Hammer of Doom with the two of you. However, in view of the alien offensive last night, I felt the need to join forces with the two of them and propose to the head of Thor to send additional men. Otherwise, we will probably have a hard time in the past ten days. ”
