Chapter 412 Bodyguards(1/2)
"Lord Capone, an unknown number of naval 'artificial beings' have appeared in the city, and we have suffered heavy casualties. Judging from the intelligence fed back from the front line, they should be those 'war weapons' secretly researched by the War Department of the World Headquarters... .”
"That thing is very tricky. It should be made of 'Rupert Alloy'. Conventional means cannot break the defense at all, and the damage done by small-caliber magic artillery is very limited. Moreover, their annihilation beams can penetrate domineering armor, and they are useless against high-level extraordinary beings." There is a fatal danger..."
"The top-level Chaofan in our regiment has already gone to the rescue, but the navy is obviously on guard. Some generals have already ambushed them secretly, and we have suffered heavy casualties..."
"Captain, [Elephant Emperor] suddenly began to break out and evacuate. They did not follow the original plan and clear out the navy in the Beicheng area, but broke out towards the south. Their sudden withdrawal put great pressure on our defense line. .”
"If I had known that those treacherous guys in Taimo were unreliable, I didn't expect them to be of much use on the list. Forget it, let the people from the 16th Division and the 9th Division go to Beicheng to make up for the gap in the defense line..."
"Yes, Lord Capone."
"..."
Bad news comes one after another on the front lines of the battlefield.
In the temporary command post, Capone listened to the reports from his subordinates, his frown never relaxing.
Now that the high-end combat capabilities of both sides are at war, although the navy is temporarily at a disadvantage, it will not be possible to determine the outcome for a while.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The longer the delay, the greater the variables.
Judging from the intelligence they had previously obtained, this battle should have had a high chance of victory. Uli's return directly reversed the situation in the Giant Country, and the Navy did not have many cards to play.
But they never thought that these "artificial beings" would suddenly appear and hit them unexpectedly.
What was originally thought to be a crushing victory suddenly turned into a stalemate street fight, and Capone also had a headache.
It was because of this sudden change that he freed up his hands to personally preside over the overall situation. He also did not go to attack the navy headquarters generals "Chizuru" and "Pick" who only wanted to delay their high-end combat power, but had no intention of fighting head-on. ”.
After all, whether it is [Sun Fruit] or [Thunder Fruit], ability users have extremely fast escape speeds. Those two old guys just want to escape for their lives, and it will not be easy for them to do anything...
Moreover, it seems that the two admirals of the Navy Headquarters are determined to wait for those "war weapons" to be consumed, and maybe they have some bad ideas...
...
"Artificial beings" are invulnerable, and they pose a fatal threat to high-level supernatural beings.
Even if the [Blood Emperor] regiment unites with the giants in the city and has an absolute numerical advantage, the price to kill an "artificial man" is not light.
If this battle continues like this, even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory. The World Government will only lose some "war weapons" that can be mass-produced, but they will permanently lose some beloved partners.
If you want to reduce losses, you can only send top-level supernaturals to rescue the situation.
But there are a lot of "artificial beings" appearing in the city. How can there be so many top-level supernaturals to come to the rescue? What's more, the Navy has already been prepared for this and specially designed a plan to ambush the top-level supernaturals. Whether to save the situation or not, there is a risk All are big.
This vampire boss who has lived for hundreds of years has to admit that technology has an increasing impact on war...
The World Government's move really hit them unexpectedly.
Decades ago, the high-level shoe mechanics in Hex Technology City were just "misguided" side sect sorcerers in the eyes of top extraordinary beings, but now they have used technology to create the power to destroy top extraordinary beings.
Originally thought that technology was limited to battleships, this time, the World Headquarters used their "war weapons" to let the world recognize their strength again.
Although Capone is sure that those "artificial humans" are definitely not possible for large-scale mass production now, what about the future?
...
Capone was lost in thought, sighing slightly and shaking his head. If it didn't work, they could only go there themselves, old guys, to clean up those "artificial beings".
But he is well versed in the various ways of war command. He showed his big name too early and won for a while, but he may not win the final battle. The newly formed team needs to be tempered by war, and the squad leaders also need to be baptized by war. , relying on old guys like them to do everything is not necessarily a good thing...
As I was thinking about it, suddenly my personal phone rang.
Mary answered the phone and handed it over: "Mr. Capone, this is Boy Raymond's phone number. He said he has important news to report to you."
"oh?"
Capone raised his eyebrows, and for some reason a strange color flashed in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, the ghost boy should have mingled with the noble viewing group and took refuge somewhere in the city.
Now that the battle was so fierce, he felt that the boy definitely wasn't here to chat.
But for some reason, he was vaguely looking forward to this call.
Raymond feels like a "miracle boy". Every time I see him, he always brings some unexpected surprises.
He turned out to be a phone bug and said calmly: "I'm Capone..."
...
After a while, Capone's expression became increasingly strange after listening to the "artificial human" data analyzed by Raymond on the phone.
He was very confused. The "artificial man" had not appeared in the city for a long time. Where did that boy Raymond get such clear information?
Then when I heard it, the boy actually said that they also encountered and killed an "artificial human"?
How can it be!
Upon hearing those words, Capone's first reaction was disbelief.
That was the "ultimate war weapon" that even high-level extraordinary beings could do nothing about. He remembered correctly that the "ghost group" only consisted of a few intermediate-level extraordinary beings. If you could escape for your life if you encountered such a being, how could you possibly kill one of them?
He knew that Raymond had a supernatural spirit in the "Shenyou Realm", but the iron lump's mental power spells were completely exempt...
Immediately afterwards, he heard that the results obtained by Raymond's accurate data analysis and their staff office were almost the same, and he completely believed that the magical boy had really killed an "artificial man" and found one of those "artificial beings". The fatal weakness of "war weapons"!
Finally, when he picked up the phone, the vampire boss, who had always looked extremely serious, his brows widened.
"That boy... actually has such a good treasure hidden away?"
At this moment, Capone turned his eyes and seemed to have thought of some plan.
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "It looks like we have to recruit that kid."
The staff officers at the temporary headquarters looked at Capone with a relaxed smile on his face, and everyone was puzzled.
Whose phone number did it belong to just now? It was so magical that it made Mr. Capone, who was extremely serious, smile?
Could it be that it brought some good news?
Maybe, it's about war?
Before they could guess any more, Capone spoke.
"Have you ever tried using 'mirror reflection' to kill the annihilation light cannons of those 'artificial beings'?"
"I tried it, but it didn't work! That kind of annihilation beam can annihilate all 'matter'. Some of us have tried to use mirror reflection before, but when the black light comes, the mirror has no time to reflect, and it is completely annihilated."
"Keep trying! I just got confirmation that the 'mirror reflection' tactic is indeed useful in annihilating black light. Some people also used this method to kill an 'artificial man'! Mirrors are useless, so everyone should find some high-quality enchanted equipment.
Give it a try... By the way, there is a bad new guy in the seventh team, or the one with the [Mirror Mirror Fruit] ability? Let him try it too..."
"..."
After hearing these words, the people in the temporary command post understood why Mr. Capone had a relaxed smile on his face.
These war staff also immediately realized that a turning point in this war...may have come!
...
Having been tricked by the "artificial human's" facial recognition system before, Raymond followed suit and put on a hood and mask to hide his face.
Not only were the bounty officers of the "ghost group" put on disguises, but in order to confuse the audience, Raymond also asked some nobles and ladies of the "spectating group" to wear masks.
However, Raymond really didn't expect that the technology of this great maritime world would actually come up with such advanced technology as "face recognition".
In his opinion, that kind of mechanical creature should not have any other advanced perception methods. Wearing a mask should reduce some trouble.
Of course, he was not sure if any of the "artificial human" programs had any programs that would immediately shoot someone with a disguised face...
Raymond was a little unsure about the origin and function of this navy "artificial man", so he had better ask professionals for professional matters.
After thinking for a while, he dialed Colin's phone number on the "Golden Ghost" outside the city.
Sure enough, as soon as Colin heard the relevant description, he immediately revealed the origin of this thing.
...
No wonder Raymond felt that the special effects of the black light cannon looked familiar...it turned out that he had heard about it from Colin!
Back in the "City of Eternal Night", after he relied on Enzo to crack down on match-fixing and won a large sum of money through gambling in the "City of Eternal Night", Colin once said that he needed a large sum of money to engage in two cutting-edge scientific research projects.
Projects, one of which is called "Ultimate Magic Annihilation Weapon"!
However, what shocked them was that for professionals like Colin, this was still a "theoretical" weapon, but now the World Headquarters had actually used it in actual combat!
"What! You said that black light beam can annihilate matter? It's impossible... That is obviously an independent research project of my mentor. Except for me and the teacher, no one in the world has set foot in the field of 'annihilation technology'. Now he is an old man
How can the World Government master this technology when you are no longer alive?"
No wonder Colin was so shocked, there was something fishy about this matter.
To use the most intuitive data analogy, the base number of the research results of the entire maritime world's scientific community on "magic annihilation weapons" is 1, Colin's is 60, and his teacher, Master Connie, is 100!
It can be said that without Colin and his teacher, the World Government wants to study this "weapon of annihilation" from scratch. Even if it finds the right direction, it will take at least several decades to catch up.
But now the facts are before our eyes. The World Government not only understands this technology, but also produces finished products!
Judging from the current weird situation, the only possibility is that Master Connie is still alive. Then he also added the secret laboratory of the World Headquarters, with endless resources piled up, to develop those with "magic annihilation light cannons" "Weapons of war.
"Is it possible that Grandmaster Connie didn't die? Then he was 'brainwashed' by the World Headquarters and turned into a loyal scientific research slave?"
This was the only possibility that Colin and Raymond could think of.
To be continued...
