Chapter 544: Mechanical Legion sieges the eighth level

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone ready to fight!"

"."

There were mechanical sentries at every passage into the camp, and the unidentified intruders were discovered in advance, which gave everyone in the Alliance army time to prepare.

In the temporary command post in the underground river, a rally call suddenly sounded.

The mechanics in the camp ran out of their tents one after another. They remained calm in the face of danger and got into their respective mechanical armors in just tens of seconds. In an instant, the huge steam boiler in the camp roared, the sound of ammunition being loaded continued, and hundreds of mechanical armors entered combat mode as quickly as possible.

In the tent, Catalina was playing with war games on the sand table. When she heard the sudden sound of the trumpet, she suddenly looked up, and her eyes instinctively showed a hint of solemnity.

She knew very well that the enemy was coming.

But in the blink of an eye, looking at Ji Xun who was calmly putting away the classics he was reading, the frown that had just formed between the Allied Forces Commander-in-Chief's brows instantly relaxed.

With this guy here, it seems like there is nothing to worry about.

It's always been like this.

Before there was any time for dialogue, the messenger from outside the tent hurried over and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief!"

Catalina: "Come in."

The messenger entered the tent and reported quickly and clearly: "Sir, an unknown enemy invasion was detected at the southwest exit. At present, the enemies detected by the mechanical sentry are at least two legions, with more than a thousand people. The peripheral automatic machinery The device is already engaged with the enemy's vanguard."

Catalina listened calmly and said: "I know."

Seeing that the Commander-in-Chief did not get up, the messenger did not forget to remind him: "Sir, do you want to arrange evacuation?"

Catalina waved her hand and said calmly: "Notify all combat departments to implement Plan S."

The messenger was startled when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions and took the order: "Yes!"

It is normal to encounter an enemy surprise attack in war. The command post has a complete emergency plan,

Normally, when encountering an attack and preparing to fight, senior officials would immediately leave for safety.

This underground river channel was chosen because it would not be completely surrounded by passages extending in all directions. Even if there is a real master attacking the camp, the headquarters can be guaranteed not to be destroyed.

But this time is different.

This was originally a trap prepared to ambush the Simon family's eighth-level card master, and it must be fought.

Only a few senior staff members knew about the ambush plan, and the others were just executors.

The original plan was for Katarina to go to the shelter, but now that Ji Xun is here, there is no need.

There were only two people in the tent. Catalina stood up and put on her military jacket. She glanced at Ji Xundao and said, "I'm going to command the battle."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes. I'll go with you."

The sound of gun explosions can be heard far in the cave, and fierce fighting can be heard everywhere near the entire command post.

Ji Xun and the two walked out of the tent, and the camp was already busy.

This command post houses the Allied Forces' most elite mechanical troops.

Although it is dizzying to see the personnel and equipment dispatched here and there, everything is in order.

Heavy defense mechanical shields have been propped up to form a temporary command post, and the muzzles of countless magic artillery have been locked at each hole.

Hundreds of mechanical armors have been assembled into battle formations, various micro-missiles have entered launch mode, and magic weapons have begun to store energy.

The most eye-catching thing is the "Hunter God-level armor" with thirty kinetic energy boilers already lighting up with blue light.

"Hunter level" is a power level, and the styles are not exactly the same.

There are firearm armors equipped with heavy missile systems, magic weapon armors specialized in melee combat, and front row human shield armors with different options to meet applicable conditions on various battlefields.

Because this time it was to ambush the eighth-level leader of the "Dragon Winged Viper Mercenary Group" "Poison Scythe" Zolas.

Therefore, all thirty Hunter God battle armors were re-equipped.

Various thick mechanical armor pieces are installed on the mechanical body as much as possible.

Although this will greatly reduce their mobility, their endurance will also be reduced by half.

But the good news is that the ability to save life will be greatly enhanced.

Seeing Catalina in a white military uniform walking out, the military spirit in the camp immediately lifted.

Catalina walked into the command post, which was heavily defended by barriers. More than a dozen senior generals and staff officers were already there.

As soon as someone comes in, the door is locked.

Everyone gave a solemn military salute to Catalina: "Commander-in-Chief!"

Catalina responded with military strength, "Everyone, sit down!"

Ji Xun took a look and saw that these people all had general stars on their shoulders.

This is the group of staff officers with the highest rank in the Allied Forces.

Originally, this was a command operation involving only high-level members of the Allied Forces, but no one was surprised that there was an outsider.

Ji Xun may not know everyone.

But everyone knew him.

Here are Katarina's right-hand men. They know very well that the Alliance Army's ability to gain a foothold in the Old World so quickly has a lot to do with this person.

Whether it is the alliance with the Wheel Rebel Dragon Army or the alliance with the Eastern Wasteland New World Technology City, it is a major transfer of responsibility that affects the life and death of the Alliance Army.

The important link that cannot be avoided is that this person is the matchmaker.

Ji Xun had no position, and it was difficult for everyone to say hello. A few generals who had seen him just nodded and said hello.

Ji Xun didn't care at all. He found a seat to listen and sat down.

The situation in the entire camp was projected in the imaging crystal.

It looked like the fighting was very fierce.

But several defensive lines were deployed around the camp.

It will take some time for the enemy to break in.

Various battle reports came to the command post immediately, and the staff officers also became busy.

"In Channel 11, a hundred-man army led by a seventh-level card master is rushing to attack the card. The badge is the third branch of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group. The mechanical door has been destroyed and is expected to arrive in five minutes."

"The first line of defense at Gate 8 was breached, and there was a seventh-level fire dragon."

"There is toxin poured into Channel 16, and a drainage plan has been started."

"The mechanical sentry near the secret exit of A3 found signs of life activity, and the investigation team has gone to confirm the situation."

"."

This group of people are all members of the Lionheart family brought from the Eastern Wasteland, and they are also all practical generals who have truly grown up on the battlefield.

They have sufficient experience in the field of military command.

Ji Xun listened on the sidelines, and only then did he fully understand the situation of the entire camp from the command arrangements.

He is not bad in war theory, but he has no actual combat experience in legion command. After listening to it, I feel like I have gained a lot.

What made Ji Xun's eyes shine the most was Catalina.

Most of what the white jade lion showed in front of him was the beautiful "white jade" part, and at this moment, what she showed was the "lion" part.

She stood in front of the projection, as if she were a different person, with an invisible aura of superiority that overshadowed the sharpness of the generals in the room.

Not only her aura, but also her ability to control the overall situation and make decisions, even Ji Xun found it extremely amazing.

Every order she gave was almost always the best choice in Ji Xun's deduction.

Ji Xun knew that others did not have the meticulous logical thinking ability that he did. Catalina was able to do this because of her solid military knowledge and innate talent.

This lion-hearted lady is truly talented in the military field, which few can match.

Military commander Ji Xun couldn't say anything, so he just observed silently.

He had understood the laws of war in Giant Spirit City before, but now he could see something deeper in war.

It was as if the rules were embodied, and the wargames on the chessboard were fighting according to specific rules.

That kind of law, which is like the rules of a game, is the trace of the law of war

Ji Xun's eyes flashed as he was lost in thought for a moment.

Suddenly, I heard an instruction from Catalina: "Everyone should pay close attention to the movements of "Poison Scythe" Zoras. Their target is our command post and they will definitely appear. The Hunter God Armor Brigade guards all passages”

All the staff members responded in unison, but no one found any trace of the target.

Ji Xun had no intention of taking action.

Mechanical science requires a lot of practice to test. Only after fighting can you know what level of armor can withstand the erosion of the eighth-level law. Accurate data feedback can improve technology.

The Alliance Army also needs a battle like this to test the combat effectiveness of the Mechanical Legion.

But after hearing this instruction, Ji Xun thought of something and suddenly spoke: "That "Poison Scythe" Zolas is quite famous in the Southern Continent and is good at conspiracy. He used many unexpected methods to win the war many times on the battlefield. I think he may have already arrived. But it won’t appear in several passages with obvious traps.”

The Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group ranked very high in the mercenary union, and Ji Xun took note of it when he saw it.

Sometimes fame is not always a good thing, at least the foundation is almost exposed.

Everyone in the room looked over when they heard Ji Xun, who had been silent until now, suddenly speak.

Catalina's eyes flashed with strange color, and she knew what he had seen, and asked: "You mean, the enemy will attack in unexpected ways?"

"Yeah."

Ji Xun nodded.

It's not that the staff didn't expect it, but that they lacked some accurate understanding of the eighth-level card master.

The eighth level is already a "demigod" and has mastered some methods that are beyond the reach of humans.

Although I don’t want to interfere with the battle command, if I prepare in advance, I will avoid many casualties.

Ji Xun did not leave any ink, and directly expressed his thoughts: "He should come down from the ceiling. He is an eighth-level green dragonborn, and the toxins can easily corrode limestone. Although it will consume more magic power, that guy's caution is absolutely Not willing to take risks. ”

Although on the surface, the eighth-level card master has an overwhelming advantage against the Hunter God Armor, most people will choose to rush in directly.

But those who can advance to the eighth level are those who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Those who are arrogant will be dead long ago.

This "Poison Scythe" Zolas can survive for so long just because he is cunning enough.

Everyone was lost in thought as they listened and found it incredible. After all, the rock formations on the ceiling were hundreds of meters long, and even the strongest bombs at present were difficult to penetrate. Could this be destroyed by human power? If it can't be broken instantly, it will be discovered again, which is completely meaningless.

But Catalina only thought for a moment before decisively giving the order: "Inform the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mechanical Brigades to aim their firepower center at the ceiling, and the 4th Brigade will continue to defend the passage."

This order directly changed the direction of most of the defense forces, and the staff officers had different expressions.

After all, once the decision is made incorrectly, the losses caused to them are immeasurable.

But no one hesitated, and everyone accepted the order: "Yes!"

Of course, Ji Xun has no prophetic ability. This is the only result of the "I am the world" deduction.

Since he was not an outsider anyway, Ji Xun simply said a few more words: "The tactical command of those mercenaries is quite good. They used feint attacks from the periphery to drive away the contestants. They should have some special sensory relics in their hands. The top card masters have locked the waters near the camp. Anyone who evacuates through other channels will be targeted immediately.""."

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was silence in the huge command room.

The generals and staff were stunned for a moment, and then all looked in awe.

Only then did they realize that the person brought by their commander-in-chief actually had such strong insight and battlefield intuition.

At the same time, they recalled what they had just said in their minds, thinking about it with horror.

If that were the case, if the headquarters chose to evacuate in the first place, wouldn't they have been easily beheaded?

Although the plan is to spread out, heavy losses cannot be avoided.

"."

Ji Xun looked at everyone's respectful eyes, but he didn't feel that he was very powerful.

In the final analysis, it is still a cognitive gap.

He has been to the Southern Continent and read countless classics in the Royal Library. He has done in-depth research on the methods and various relics of the dragon-born card masters in the Southern Continent.

It is true that water can cover up most smells, but the fluctuations of water flow, sounds, and the reactions of aquatic organisms are all flaws. The subtle difference between normal flow and someone in the water cannot be distinguished by ordinary people, but top card masters can easily distinguish it. With the help of some magic relics, the detection distance will be very far.

After listening to Ji Xun's knowledge, everyone's expressions changed from surprise to respect.

They are all top conductors, and they immediately saw the terrifying ability to control the overall situation in this suggestion.

Only then did they realize that the Commander-in-Chief may have brought this person to the command post for more than just listening.

It's his really special ability.

Catalina looked at the generals looking at her with their peripheral vision inexplicably ignited, and she knew they had misunderstood.

After all, she herself didn't know that Ji Xun had such outstanding insights in war command.

But it’s hard to say anything now.

She could only look at Ji Xun, and there was a flash of resentment in her crystal eyes that no one else could see: You guy, you didn't tell me earlier.

Ji Xun understood this look and smiled without saying a word.

It's not that he didn't say it earlier, but his brain just collected and summarized all the information, and then analyzed the result.

But just as I was thinking about it, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly the rock formations above the camp burst into pieces.

A large hole with a diameter of tens of meters appeared.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were extremely shocked.

It was just tactical speculation before, but now the facts are unfolding before our eyes, and the gold content of Ji Xun's words just now has instantly increased.

The mechanics in charge of the battle didn't understand why the headquarters issued a strange order, but they were elites and they just had to execute it.

Precisely because we made tactical arrangements in advance, we avoided being caught off guard by the enemy.

The ceiling suddenly exploded. Although the mechanics were surprised, they were not confused.

Almost as soon as the big hole appeared, hundreds of artillery guns fired at the huge thing that was about to fly out of the hole.

"Boom!"

"."

It really only takes seconds when you show your head.

Before a group of dragonborn mercenaries in the cave could figure out what was happening, they were blasted with artillery fire.

But in the smoke and fire, a huge creature that looked like a reddish-brown viper and had a pair of huge dragon wings flew down menacingly with the cannon on it.

Ji Xun recognized this guy at a glance. It was the eighth-level "Poison Scythe" Zolas they were waiting for!

The moment the monster flew into the sky above the camp, countless artillery pieces locked onto him and fired in unison.

"Crackling" was the only sound that could be heard as a piece of iron nail hit the steel plate.

Almost all the magic artillery and magic-breaking crossbow arrows only left shallow traces on the hard scales, causing no harm to the monster dragon at all.

Instead, the strange dragon roared loudly, and a terrifying hurricane blew up in the camp.

An invisible pressure swept across instantly, and the mechanics wearing low-level mechanical armor were instantly shocked and almost completely lost their ability to move.

In the command room, Catalina and her staff looked extremely serious.

This was the first time they had seen such exaggerated dragon power.

Although it was blocked by the defensive barrier of the command post, the instrument showed the terror of Long Wei.

A staff officer looked at the dashboard and reported: "Commander-in-Chief, the Dragon Power level has reached level 16, which is ten times higher than the several seventh-level dragonborn samples that have been detected before."

Everyone looked serious.

This level is enough to cause an unprotected warrior to have a nervous breakdown on the spot.

Even if they are some junior mechas, they may not even be able to hold on.

They also experienced for the first time the terror of the eighth-level dragon-born card master. The combat power of just one person paralyzed most of the entire camp.

Fortunately, there are many unmanned automatic mechanical devices in the camp, and they are not affected by Longwei.

Moreover, the helmets of thirty Hunter God armors and some advanced armors have psychic alloys, which exempts most spiritual attacks.

In the entire command room, only Ji Xun looked relaxed.

Because he not only met the eighth-level dragonborn, but also killed him.

Instead, what he found interesting was that those black technology instruments, Long Wei could actually be rated like energy?

It seems that the Allies also discovered a lot of interesting ancient technologies in the Old World.

The elite members of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group followed their leader in from the ceiling, and received a heavy blow to the head.

They originally thought that since their regiment leader came with great momentum, they could just follow behind and clean up the battlefield, and then chase after the defeated troops who escaped.

They have used this tactic many times, and have achieved great success every time.

Unexpectedly, a sudden burst of artillery directly caused the mercenaries to be beaten and run away.

The artillery and ammunition were high-end goods prepared for them. The low-level card masters died suddenly on the spot. Even the sixth-level card masters were seriously injured on the spot.

"Poison Scythe" Zolas looked at his members who suffered heavy casualties. He was furious and at the same time confused: How could these guys react so quickly?

It was not a temporary reaction at all, but he had already expected that they would come down from the ceiling, and then opened fire immediately.

After thinking about this, Zolas's face darkened. After all, he was also a veteran mercenary who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He did not turn around to take care of his subordinates. Instead, he opened his mouth wide, and with a breath of dragon breath, he directed towards the densest group of mechanical armors in the camp. The place where it spat out.

"Crash"

"."

Countless green viscous venom flowed down like rain.

The poisonous dragon breath of the eighth-level card master is so corrosive that the steel shelves in the camp instantly melted like candles roasted by flames.

Zolas went out in person this time because he was hired by Duke Simon to completely eliminate these elite natives of the Eastern Wilderness.

After all, they already know that there is a "Hunter God Armor" in Donghuang that can threaten seventh-level card masters.

These things must be disposed of.

The intelligence shows that this indigenous command headquarters has many such armors.

When Zolas came in before, he looked at the hundreds of mechanical armors in the camp in front of him, and secretly said in his heart that he was lucky to be here.

Otherwise, if we just appoint a subordinate team to come, I'm afraid they will all have to stay here.

I originally thought that one breath of dragon's breath would solve part of the problem, but a few breaths of dragon's breath would completely resolve the battle.

However, he never expected that things would not develop at all as he thought.

"Poison Scythe" Zolas sprayed out his dragon breath, which indeed corroded many of the steel defenses in the camp.

However, the hundreds of armors raised their shields together, forming a joint defense formation as huge as a turtle shell.

Normally, even if his eighth-level dragonborn breathed all his strength and his seventh-level defensive barrier could last long, it would be corroded.

Not to mention mechanical shields.

Although he doesn't understand mechanical technology, the principles of machinery and magic equipment are the same. The more advanced the magic equipment, the higher the manufacturing cost.

He didn't believe that hundreds of mechanical armors were all top-level enchanted. Such luxurious legions were rare even among the elites of the three royal families on the South Road.

But it was just because it was impossible that I was shocked.

These mechanical shields actually blocked it?

What’s even weirder is that the mechanical shield hasn’t been corroded much!

Zoras couldn't understand, but the Allied staff breathed a sigh of relief.

The poison dragon's breath is indeed very powerful, but it is not completely invincible.

There is also a complete theory for solving toxins. For acidic toxins, use alkaline to neutralize them; for fire-type toxins, use water elements and vice versa.

The intelligence of "Poison Scythe" Zoras has been compiled into a pamphlet by Ji Xun. Now that all the high-level leaders of the Allied Forces have a copy of it, how could they not be on guard against it.

Furthermore, even if the mechanical shield cannot be blocked by law, then increase its thickness!

Machines are different from humans. Power has always been the biggest advantage of machines.

The heavy shields now became the strongest defense of the mechanical armor.

The breath of the strange dragon failed to cause much damage. In the blink of an eye, the armors under the shields raised their muzzles in unison, aiming at the flying dragon in the sky with a dazzling blue light.

"Rumble", another round of shelling was deafening.

The battle instantly became intense.

In the command room, the generals were extremely nervous.

Facing an eighth-level Dragonborn card master for the first time, no one was sure.

Seeing that the mechanical armor withstood the first round of dragon breath, everyone felt relieved again.

Only if you can hold on can you be qualified to fight.

And they were also lucky, thanks to the detailed information that came from nowhere in the past two days.

Even Catalina felt extremely emotional.

Without the information provided by Ji Xun, if the original plan had been followed, even if they had won, it would have been a disaster in which both sides would lose.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the most indifferent guy in the entire command room with her peripheral vision, and raised a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth.
