This time, Neo and others went from the Valley of Refuge to Elada. The most critical part of the journey was done well on the second day, and they could easily arrive on the third day. But if something went wrong, they might have to spend an extra night in the wilderness.
I just tolerated it, but in this situation, if we delay it for one more day, there will be many more variables. This is absolutely certain. After all, the monsters have also gathered and implemented the process of interception. After Fang Yanyi, the convoy has no barriers at night.
relying on
A powerful figure among the enemy died. Green and others breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the interception plan of the monsters must have been disrupted. The group of monsters may even be leaderless and may have collapsed. However, during the day, the monsters were
The harassment of the convoys and the destruction of the roads are getting worse. Looking at the tight organization and unclear rhythm, it does not seem like there is no leader at all. On the contrary, it is much more sophisticated.
Along the way, Green, the temporary captain, was in a state of exhaustion. The convoy itself was safe, no one died, and no important load was damaged. However, the distance was far behind. As the sun set in the west, the distance to the planned destination was still very low.
But there are still more than 40 kilometers
"Captain, we must choose a campsite nearby" Ni came over to remind with a tired look.
Green took the magic map from Ni's hand, looked at the surrounding environment under Ni's guidance, and sighed, "That's all we can do. We have to complete the defense of the camp before dark, and then go on our way.
Not only do we have no time to set up camp, but we also have no suitable camping ground here!" Green pointed with his finger, "There is no danger to defend, so we can just camp in an upright place with a wide view. I don't believe that monsters can kill us.
Endless”
There were as many as 13 harassment battles during the day, and the levitation ability of the cart was used up. Hess was so exhausted that he could no longer perform the spell and had to change his route three times. Even the gentle Greene was aroused, and he spoke too much.
A bit cruel
"Oh, I'll inform everyone." Ni responded and cast a simple spell on the wild dogs running beside the car. More than ten wild dogs ran to various parts of the convoy, and then uttered human words to convey the message to the stars.
The soldiers of 745 are already used to this. Although Ni uses small spells that consume very little energy, they can make these dogs have fun, so much so that the soldiers feel that these dogs are qualified.
A soldier, and as loyal as a guard, he will execute orders without any compromise.
The campsite that the team finally chose was a huge mountain-like ridge with an area of nearly 25,000 square meters. Generally speaking, it is relatively regular, but in fact it has many pits and bumps, just humans and animals.
The large truck must be parked on a flatter place, otherwise the cargo may tilt and it will definitely be a big trouble when starting the next day. Anyone who works with cars knows that moving and stopping the car is the most strenuous.
Although the giant rhinoceros is powerful, the loads carried by these vehicles are equally powerful.
Hess was unable to help level the land, so the soldiers had to do it themselves. It was not an easy job for the people who had been fighting for a day, but under the leadership of Zanjin and other lieutenants, they
Still gritting his teeth and persisting, the land leveling was quickly completed.
Several mages saw this in their eyes. In addition to feeling the quality of the officers and soldiers of Xingxing 745, they also admired Neo's foresight. If Fang Yanyi's supplies were confiscated yesterday and moved here and there, the soldiers would be excited and rewarded them with some small gifts.
Drink, the commotion will be later, and the night watchman will make more arrangements. After today's day of fighting and running around, the officers and soldiers have nowhere to bite even if they want to, their bodies have not rested, and they have no willpower. Unlike now, they are tired.
We are tired, but we can see that everyone can hold on. If we can have a good rest tonight, nothing will be delayed tomorrow.
But will the enemy let them get what they want?
the answer is negative
There was still more than half an hour before dark, and the monsters gathered again and launched an attack. This time the scale was the largest in the day. A rough estimate was that the number exceeded 200, and the vast majority of them had silver bodies on their bodies.
There are frost-white wood monsters and monsters called 'crocodile heads' by the soldiers. This monster was seen on the first day. Its image reminded Neo of those chaos monsters on the night of the bloody battle of the Earth Split.
The first evolutionary form of the crocodile is also similar to the long snout, but in comparison, this crocodile head has many characteristics of the ferocious lizard, and looks more robust, especially the many stretch tendons exposed on the cheeks.
You can tell right away that this creature has a strong ability to resist bites. This monster relies on its semi-reflective scales and is relatively light-resistant. In addition, like the wood demon, they do not rely on their eyes to see. The wood demon relies on life sensing. This
Growing crocodile heads depends on their sense of smell, so they have the ability to fight blindly.
"Everyone, prepare to fight!" Green reluctantly issued this order. With Elan's feather guards here, it would be difficult for the monsters to launch a sneak attack. But the problem is that the construction of the camp has not been completely completed. The officers and soldiers are very tired and hungry.
It's because we are tired and exhausted. Looking at this situation, the team's record of no serious casualties will be broken.
"Look at this, the monsters are preparing to dare to fight against us. The main monsters that can be used as day harassment battles are probably out in full force."
When Green heard this voice, he was overjoyed. When he looked back, it turned out to be Neo.
"Always able to appear at critical moments, is this the most powerful protagonist's aura at work?"
Neo laughed and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, let me tell you some good news. The barbecue party has arrived early. Take out all the flamethrowers and see how many roasted chicken wings we can harvest!"
Neo used the technique of war cry when he said these words. The whole camp could hear the soldiers. When they heard that it was Neo's voice, they immediately became energetic. Many people immediately felt like saying dirty things, and they rushed to the front one by one.
He rushed towards the supply truck with little effort. In addition to the technicians, firemen and a few wounded, nearly 40 soldiers equipped with flamethrowers were assembled.
Green has also seen the flamethrower, but the flamethrower used by the Star 745 soldiers is obviously modified and cost-effective, because it does not consume ordinary fuel, but energy crystals, and it is on the spray gun.
It comes with a fire-blasting magic circle, which is much more powerful than an ordinary flamethrower. The modification is that this flamethrower is equipped with a heavy-pressure valve, and its range is much farther than that of an ordinary flamethrower.
"You also made this flamethrower yourself?" Green already knew that Star 745 had a technical repair team with considerable technical strength, but seeing so many high-end products at once still made him dazzled.
"Where is the productivity? It's custom-made with money." Neo simply explained: "To fight against monsters, the more effective restraint force is light or fire. I started preparing early in the morning."
"How much gold does a flamethrower like this cost? 70?"
"150, energy not included"
"..." Green had nothing to say. The armors worn by Sylphanis' main legion knights were just a fraction of this kind of weapon. This Simon Windrunner was indeed as rumored as he could make money and
Spend money, train soldiers cruelly, be willing to invest, and have foresight. "Look at these soldiers, with a flamethrower in one hand and a special asbestos-coated tower shield in the other. Look at the array arrangement. It's obvious that they have been trained. This is
Are the typical preparations sufficient?" Green thought silently in his heart. Compared with Star 745, their spell team felt like they were going into battle naked. They did not formulate any powerful plans for possible dangers or equip them with corresponding equipment. They were mediocre and incompetent.
Be prepared, is this also a reflection of why rookies are bad?
At this time, the monsters have completed the siege and rushed up from all directions. Their advantage lies in powerful close combat, and the controller of the monsters also knows that Xing 745 has powerful guns and light thunder bombs, etc. Naturally, they do not
They will gather together to let the opponent focus their fire and explode fiercely. Because there are large vehicles and monsters, the camp occupies a relatively large area. If you want to defend in an all-round way, the No. 40 people will naturally be spread far apart, and the controller of the monster also knows that Star 745 is close
The only ones who can take action in a physical battle are the 20 or so Miao people, so attacking from all sides is tantamount to forcing the defender to choose whether to protect goods or save lives!
If you want to save your life, you can block attacks from far away. Based on the combat power shown in previous battles, more than 200 monsters are indeed difficult to chew. But the camp is destroyed. How to deal with the coming long night? Not to mention that the beasts of burden are damaged and the trucks are destroyed. This is equivalent to
It destroyed this material transportation, and the longer it takes on the road, the less meaningful the emergency material transportation will be, and more monsters will gather. It is not impossible to completely destroy this team.
Guaranteeing goods means that the officers and soldiers of Star 745 need to face the danger of being divided and annihilated. 200:40, 5:1, but in fact it is not a simple ratio. 5 kills 1 and 10 kills 2. The situation
is completely different
Star 745 chose to protect the goods, but they were not as divided as the monster controllers thought, because they had two siege spiders.
After these two siege spiders fell into the hands of Xing 745, Neo successively poured in 40,000 gold coins for modification. In Zan Jin’s words: 40,000 gold coins were enough to plate these two siege spiders into pure gold shells.
If we were not in a hurry, we could buy 20 siege spiders at the ordnance factory for 40,000 gold, and they were the latest model. However, the money was spent on two units. How wasteful would this be?
Putting it next to those who spend money but not lose money, anyway, most Furui people agree with this saying, that is: where the money is spent, it is better!
Even if there is a suspicion of letting Canito practice with the technical monks, if you throw the 40,000 gold into it, you will definitely see something.
Varug said: "Hey! It has become thicker, bigger, stronger, and stronger!"
Kokar said: "It seems that a lot of magic devices have been added..."
Mary said: "It drives more powerfully, but it's so ugly!"
They are all correct, but they are not the focus. As auxiliary devices with the main goal of safe camping, rather than front-line killing machines, these two siege spiders have been modified to have three features that other similar products do not have.
Type energy collection, free limbs, ray guardrail
The free limbs allow the siege spider to build more diverse shell skeletons. Like now, its shape is like two horizontal quarter-oval covers, one on the left and one on the right, covering both ends of the rectangular camp.
Because the convoy is too large, the two covers cannot be combined into a half oval cover, thus exposing an area in the middle with a span of about 50 meters. This is the area that the soldiers have to defend: two 50-meter-long
defensive front
Buzz... The ray guardrail opened, and bright rays of light appeared between the limbs of the siege spider. Compared with the first one used, the one in front of me is obviously much thicker, and it uses the two elements of light and fire.
Mixed energy, most importantly, is very stable
At this time, the monsters had rushed to a place less than 50 meters away from the camp. In a flash, the four demon herders did not let the monsters avoid it, but continued to rush in at high speed, frontally, using the thin defense line of Xing 745 as a basis.
Purpose: On both wings, be prepared to be injured and forcefully break through the ray guardrail.
Zhi...
The first thing to intercept the attack is the magic cannon light stream in the armor compartment of the siege spider's body. It is a very common magic cannon. It is easy to use and uses the same energy as the ray guardrail, so it was purchased and selected (actually it was used by the way).
Armed with the mixed energy formula of the magic cannon to create a new type of ray)
The effect of the magic cannon like the light stream flame looks like a liquid flame wrapped in white light. Its firing time is about 2 seconds. For an offensive weapon, this time is not short, and it is enough to scratch the ground.
A line of flames that is tens of meters long will appear, and the monsters on this line will be burned by the high-temperature flames.
Soil smoke billowed like boiling water vapor, and charred grooves were drawn on the ground. Several wood demons immediately turned into burning torches, and three crocodile heads turned into fireballs. One of them made a 'bang' sound before it even had time to scream.
Exploded into flying ash
Next to launch the attack were the firemen of Star 745. They were also called grenadiers. In the words of the firemen: "Let you monsters taste the strength that our grandfathers gained by tossing the big wok every day!"
"
Different from the kind of light thunder used by the night watch soldiers last night, the one used by the firemen now is called Yang Thunder. It has strong shock wave power but weak light radiation effect. The opposite kind last night is called Yin Thunder.
"The purpose of Yang Lei is to hear the sound!" Neo once introduced this grenade to the soldiers.
Gang! Gang! Sure enough, the sound after the explosion of this kind of thunder is hard and crisp, just like the sound of thunder in the sky before a heavy rain. Duzhen's ears dozens of meters away are buzzing, and their explosion effect is indeed powerful, white
The light explodes, and the dazzling part alone reaches 5 meters in diameter. If there is a monster within this range, it will basically have no way to survive. Even if it is farther away, it can be blown away. It will be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
My whole body is smoking
Dudu! The wooden whistles of the demon herders were blowing very fast and urgently. It sounded extremely uncomfortable. The monsters seemed to be having a hard time too. After hearing the whistle, they all had red eyes, salivation, and bravely came to them without fear of death.
Rushing forward, they turn a blind eye to the casualties of the same kind
Amidst the whistling sound, the flamethrower began to exert its power. This weapon does not seem to be difficult to use. It just burns. Each one is responsible for an area. Once it enters the range, it will be burned. Since it is a team battle, cooperation is more important, and the monsters are not stupid.
, it cannot run in a straight line, nor is it just a simple S-shape, it can jump, roll, and jump. They all have the strength of level 4 or above professionals, with strong bodies, quick reactions, and agile movements. Even if
The flamethrower has a pressurizing device, and it requires a relative flight process to shoot the flames. Coupled with the judgment, reaction and operation of the soldiers, it is not easy to deal with it. The key is not to panic, not to be greedy, and to cooperate with each other as much as possible to weave.
A tight line of fire, so that Neoton's 'barbecue' job can be completed
Of course, even so, it is impossible to cross the line without letting monsters go. There are still monsters with rough skin and thick flesh, energy shields, smoke and fire on their bodies, and they rush into the inside line. At this time, the grenadiers
It came in handy again. Each of them was carrying a big thick tube on their backs. It was so round that it would be difficult to hold it if it didn't have a special handle. This thing looked quite heavy, but in fact it was not that heavy because it was hollow.
, the soldiers called this thing a 'wind cannon'. It was not a new product created by Neo or Canito, but it was originally a weapon used by Fury's riot control troops. The original model was smaller than this and could fire
The effect of the wind ball is like being hit by a strong man. It can fly 2 or 3 meters backwards, but it can only fall but cannot be used by the grenadiers. In the words of the soldiers: Well, it was hit, but
Not a tough guy, but a steam car (train)
Bang! Bang! With a dull sound, the wind cannon opened fire. Due to the large area, it can be fired just by looking at it. There is no need to specifically aim. The approaching monsters will fly upside down or flip over. The soldiers using the flamethrower take the opportunity to make up for it.
These monsters are almost on fire.
At the same time, the monsters that tried to break through the ray guardrail also encountered big trouble. The power of these rays was far more powerful than they expected. Dozens of monsters died on the spot as if they had been cut apart at the moment of crossing.
The monsters were smart enough to use the corpse as a shield in an attempt to pass through. The result was effective, but
