Lin disappeared, and so did Ilson. All that was left was the ruins of the place, a group of onlookers who either didn’t know the truth or knew the truth, and my wanton cold sweat.
Ever since the five-man group landed on the battlefield with great vigor, the cold sweat has never stopped.
Bingtis patted Monina on the shoulder unscrupulously: "Don't be sad, child, war requires a price, and your brother is a hero."
Monina sighed quietly: "Oh, there will be one less person cooking in the future."
"I feel like this should be the most aggrieved wall of sighs that has ever been destroyed." I looked at the bright blue and white wires on the ground ten meters away in front of me that were still creaking and emitting sparks. I felt very sad.
Complex, "Ilson's experience shows that if you are going to communicate with a child whose intelligence is no more than five and a half years old, it is best to be concise and to the point."
Everyone thought so.
Because Vega led another unit to the crash site to investigate the fragments of the star ring, the group of armored scorpions in front of me was commanded by a scorpion that I was not very familiar with. He may have been in contact with unscrupulous guys like us.
Not much. After the long-haired armored scorpion who was a little silent stared blankly at the mess around her, she decided to put the mission first. Without saying a word, she organized a team of soldiers and prepared to drive into the inner city. I heard her move a few armored scorpions.
The commanders of the Scorpion Team gathered together and explained the action plan: "My plan is to rush up and chop..."
A group of Scorpions announced their promise with a bang, and everyone's face showed the natural excitement before the war. It can be seen that this is basically the same process when they gather together to study the battle plan.
Raven 001 and Aura are releasing some detection tools. The former activates the arcane eye to locate the life response in the inner city, while the latter uses mirror images to make many fragile probes and drops them in large numbers.
Inside the temple complex opposite.
Those tall and magnificent temples and spiers were silent in the thin black mist, seemingly lifeless, but looking at the solemn expression on Raven 001's face, I knew she had discovered the enemy.
"Energy response from the front! Prepare to fight!"
Very suddenly, the raven shouted a warning, and then rushed hundreds of meters into the sky in an instant. The dazzling blue-white energy vortex completely covered her figure. The next second, a meter-thick arcane torrent emerged from the energy vortex.
It spurted out, as powerful as the main gun of a battleship, and blasted away a tall tower made of huge rocks in the distance. As the tower fell, it quickly collapsed from the point where it was attacked. Before it hit the ground, the huge tower
The rock building turned into energy residue that filled the sky, and in the huge explosion cloud, hundreds of swift figures swooped down from the top of the collapsing tower, and launched a brave attack on the intruders with shrill and piercing screams.
attack.
When they swooped down from the sky with brilliant flames, I saw the figures of these enemies: they were a group of women riding black beasts and wearing blue armor. They had young looks similar to those common among Atlanteans.
With tall figures, holding round sun shields and thick lightsabers that breathe out psionic light in their hands, these female warriors are flying in the sky on strange creatures that look like black unicorns, but behind them
There are also ray wings that are similar to bird wings. Although they are not as gorgeous and powerful as Alaya's wings, considering that they were made by researchers from the old empire who never did anything wasteful, these wings must be by no means decorations and are used for
Flying is no problem either.
The female warriors with wings have obviously become minions of the abyss. They made sharp calls like falcons while waving the psionic lightsabers in their hands and rushed down. Of course, the ravens who had detected the opponent's energy fluctuations in advance had already
After being prepared, after Raven 001's attack was ineffective, more arcane arrow rain and forked lightning burst out from the aerial attack formation formed by the Ravens. At one time, hundreds of Atters wielding lightsabers
The Landis female warriors were overwhelmed by the overwhelming magic attacks, but just when I thought the first wave of enemies would be easily dealt with by the ravens, they rushed out of the explosion smoke with a shining energy shield.
!
Of course, the attack just now has reduced their number by at least one-third, and even if the remaining two-thirds are all injured, they have withstood the head-on attack from the heroic combat soldiers. This is enough to show that these
The female warriors stationed in the inner city are not enemies on the same level as the abyss monsters outside!
The sound of metal clashing resounded from the Armored Scorpion's defense line. It was the sound of standard ship-cutting knives colliding hard in the air before going into battle. Collision of weapons before battle is a custom of the Armored Scorpion that has been passed down since ancient times. This shows that
The scorpions immediately entered a state of nervous burning after seeing the enemy using lightsabers, because the attacker fully satisfied the two conditions that make the armored scorpions full of fighting spirit: first, use melee weapons. Second, since it is melee combat
As a profession, you don’t even need cold weapons!
Even though it is a melee weapon, the psionic lightsaber is classified as a hot weapon. At least in the eyes of the rigid-minded Armored Scorpion, a weapon with a high blade temperature is a hot weapon, so a group of Armored Scorpions thought that their opponents were tarnishing the reputation of cold weapons.
The crowd was furious, although I don't know what kind of anger they were aroused.
"Buzz!" The standard ship-killing knife covered with a phase shift force field collided violently with the small bucklers with the sun emblem in the hands of the female Atlantis warriors, emitting some kind of low-frequency resonance.
Sound waves and layers of light ripples surged out from the collision point, spreading the impact caused by the scorpions' brute force.
The most deadly attack of the Armored Scorpion is their first sword attack in every battle. The instantaneous burst of speed and power can make most enemies fall apart before they have time to react. In previous battles, even if there were monsters that could resist
The first wave of armored scorpion attacks rarely failed, but these female warriors actually successfully blocked them all!?
Sandora frowned: "The principle of the phase shift blade is to form a deflected and constantly moving space folding groove. This extremely thin layer of space folding can move any matter they come into contact with to another space, and then from nearby
Moving out of the space exit, with the help of this uninterrupted transmission, the phase-shifting blade has unparalleled destructive power against any form of physical armor and is almost impossible to withstand, but those solar shields... are rigid shields covering psionic energy.
The self-replenishment speed is even faster than the deflection speed of the phase-shifting blade!"
This is why the scorpions' attacks in the first round were ineffective, but it seems that the armored scorpions don't have to worry about it. After their first attack was blocked, they immediately broke out with a more brutal attack method, proving their strength with violence.
Based on the principle of Jiangshihui, the standard ship-cutting knife emitted a thunderous sonic boom in the air, and nearly a thousand chops instantly tore apart the sun shield in the enemy's hand. The latter in just a few rounds of fighting
It was overloaded and burned out!
The armored scorpion's attacks are brutal and direct, just slashing, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. There are no confusing moves or subtle changes at all. The only thing they know is to use nanometer-accurate trajectories to optimize the output.
, use the shortest time and the smallest force to inflict the maximum damage to the enemy, aim at a point, and cut with all your might. If the knife doesn't work, just cut until it does. This is the combat art of the Armored Scorpion, which is called a highly civilized hope by Raven.
The last uncivilized cancer in spiritual society - but you have to admit, in most cases this kind of direct tactics are effective.
The fallen warriors who attacked us have extraordinary fighting skills. Even in a head-on confrontation with the armored scorpions that are no longer human beings, they can barely manage to attack and defend. They have lost their minds and seem to have no sense of pain. They fight to exchange injuries for injuries or even die together.
Using the fighting method, hundreds of fallen warriors rushed into the Armored Scorpion's front, but that was all they could do. The long knife in the Armored Scorpion's hand re-adjusted its output and made a thunderous explosion as it continuously broke through the sound barrier, using brutal force.
The absolute advantage in strength quickly gained the upper hand.
After the continuous howling, all the fallen warriors who were in close contact with the Armored Scorpion were destroyed. The powerful psionic shield and deified physique prevented them from being unilaterally suppressed like the previous soldiers but were beaten vigorously. However, in the end, due to the lack of strength,
The difference was that the lightsabers in their hands could not effectively block the ship-cutting swords, and the shields and hard shells on the armored scorpions were not easy to break through. These fallen warriors still failed.
After a mere ten seconds of confrontation, the armored scorpions used their swords to prove who was the king of melee combat.
Hundreds of fallen warriors with light wings fell to the ground, and the small bucklers and lightsabers in their hands gradually went out.
"Hmph, heretic who heats his own blade."
A certain Scorpion Soldier said this, and I was immediately speechless.
But just when we were about to step forward to inspect the corpses of those strange enemies, a strange phenomenon occurred. The fallen warriors killed by the armored scorpions fell to the ground and began to turn into light spots all over the sky, spiraling up and gradually disappearing in the sky.
In the air, the scene is as beautiful as the ten minutes countdown to lunch distribution in a romantic blockbuster - the enemies have all ascended to the sky one by one?
Ares saw my doubts, and now he had time to explain in a low voice: "Those were Valkyries just now. They have the power of resurrection. I didn't expect that even those warriors were contaminated."
"Valkyrie?" I was stunned for a moment, "Zeus acquired Odin?"
Ares: “What is an acquisition?”
Hades: "Which one is Odin?"
Shandora poked me in the waist: "Arjun, let's be serious. The myths and legends on the earth now basically originate from the descendants of Atlantis. They have Olympus and Zeus, but they don't
They say they are limited to the Greek pantheon - the enemy's shield just now had the words 'Ra' written on it, the sun god."
I asked Sandora to replenish myself with knowledge about the earth again!
Ares looked around and saw that no one was explaining to him what acquisition was, so he shook his head and said: "Valkyrie appeared in the later stages of the war. At that time, the demon army had the ability to continuously resurrect, and their number was still increasing day by day.
, but the number of Atlantis warriors was limited and the growth was slow. As the war progressed, the Great God had fewer and fewer warriors. In order to maintain combat power, the Great God began to create a kind of soldiers that could be continuously resurrected, namely Valkyrie and Ah.
Nubis, they are equipped with sun shields, sunburning swords and dusk scepters made by the great god himself. They have power between ordinary soldiers and servants of the gods like us. More importantly, their souls are immortal.
After their bodies are destroyed, they will be transported back to the Resurrection Temple and can rejoin the battle in a few hours..."
"How are such soldiers made?" Sandora suddenly interrupted Ares and asked with a frown.
Ares smiled slightly: "Pious Atlantis soldiers will voluntarily be sent to the Ascension Workshop when they are seriously injured. Their useless remains will be purified by the sacred flames, while their souls will ascend into the holy furnace and be
Injecting new life force, the male soldiers were resurrected as Anubis, and the female soldiers were resurrected as Valkyrie. These warriors basically can't think and have no pain, but they can still fight and do better than ordinary soldiers."
"It is indeed the case," Sandora whispered, "when the person is still alive, the soul is extracted, fused with the nether energy to form something similar to the energy body apostle, and then injected into the artificial body, so those Val just now
Only Kiri can compare with Armored Scorpions in physical quality: their bodies are basically apostle-level. Only fanatical faith can allow carbon-based creatures to endure such pain..."
I opened my mouth, but in the end I couldn't say anything. I could only shrug: "There must be Valkyrie's regeneration factory in the inner city. We have to find a way to seize those things first."
No one had any objections. All the soldiers followed the order and cautiously entered the city where the abyss was raging. Hades was very familiar with the roads in the inner city. He pointed us in the direction of the nearest control center. Now the ground troops
Just heading there.
"I don't quite understand, but it seems like you're not in a good mood?"
A somewhat unfamiliar girl's voice rang in my ears. I looked back and saw that it was a white-haired maid wearing a white headband and a miniskirt maid outfit, because the monsters in Gensokyo have relatively strong defenses.
They were weak, so they were good at long-range magic attacks and were protected in the center of the team with the raven. This white-haired maid happened to be right next to me.
This must be a very serious person. Even when she spoke during the march, she was observing the surrounding environment with a vigilant look. From her look, she seemed to be used to such a vigilant state. She held several handfuls between her fingers.
The silver-white flying knives were faintly stained with blood, and they had obviously been used effectively in previous battles.
"Izayoi?" Because I had met him once or twice before, and he was a famous figure in the Eastern world, I successfully called him by his name.
"I didn't expect you to still remember my name." The well-behaved maid did not forget to nod slightly and salute even as she moved quickly, showing the demeanor of a servant from a famous family. "I don't mean anything by talking to you. I just want to ask.
How did you arrange for us after this war is over?"
I looked at the other party in surprise, wondering why she suddenly said such a thing. All the youkai in Gensokyo didn't seem to be worried about their future. Could it be that Izayoi was a rare crisis theorist among them?
Perhaps my questioning gaze was too direct, and the maid's eyes in front of me were a little unnatural, but in the end, she still made up her mind: "This is where I come to inquire on behalf of my master. The eldest lady... seems to have seen something."
Bad stuff.”
I was a little confused by this sudden statement, and immediately began to recall the abilities of the eldest lady Izayoi said: Remilia Scarlet, the eldest lady she called, a 500-year-old girl with the so-called ability to control fate.
A 20-year-old vampire—even though she looks like a lolita and is visually about the same height as Pandora. Because she is an unsociable species like a vampire, and has a willful and childish personality, when she tried to prevent the fall of Atlantis, she
Milia did not appear in front of me at first, and it was not until the launch plan began that everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion showed up.
Remilia's ability is called "manipulating fate". Of course, in fact, she is far from that sensational level. Rather than controlling fate, it is more like a halo effect: just say a word to others.
It may cause the other person to experience unexpected things, or even completely change a person's life, giving an ordinary person a higher chance of experiencing adventures that are unimaginable for ordinary people in their lifetime. These are all effects produced unconsciously. To say it,
This is also about manipulating fate - Lin Xue's troublemaker is much more professional than Remi, and that girl's troublemaker halo has successfully thrown the head of the empire from the Sahara to another world.
But although it can't be called controlling fate, Remilia can actually control some powers derived from "fate", such as seeing fragments of someone's past, predicting the future where an unlucky person will die, and through
My words prevent something that makes me unhappy from happening, so what did that mysterious young lady see in me?
Under Sandora and I's curious questioning, Izayoi didn't hold back too much and frankly told something that would make the hostess of the Scarlet Devil Mansion worry so much that she had to send her maid to find out the information.
"Although you don't look like the person who did those things," Sakuya Izayoi said a little nervously, "Miss, I have seen that endless disasters have often shrouded you in your recent past, from wars to
To the scourge of extinction, death, gloom, and confusion.”
I was silent for a while and then said: "By the way, are you so stupid as to ask others: 'Are you a bad person?'"
"Of course it's a bit unwise to ask others rashly like this, but the military intelligence analysis meeting held by the eldest lady every night is even more difficult to deal with."
I understood instantly: this is a story about a "kid" who accidentally saw something bad and couldn't sleep every day, causing trouble all over the house. In the end, people had to come out to find the culprit and beg for relief.
, when Lin Xue was not very proficient in abilities, she was so tormenting others, which caused our family to collectively fall into persecutory paranoia for a long time.
I looked at the face of the maid next to me, and she indeed looked depressed and sleepy. It seemed that she had been trained a lot by my beloved young lady in the past two days, and she was probably just out of curiosity when she came to talk to me about these things.
Serious, just to change the mood. As for the true seriousness component, it should not exceed 10 to 20%.
But with Izayoi's reminder, I really should consider some aftermath issues.
Of course, the first thing is to dispel Izayoi's unfounded worries: "Actually, it's just that I'm unlucky...really."
