The Eclipse Cult's unique repeating firebolts made a sharp noise, and Aloy and others launched an attack without any preparation.
There are about a hundred Eclipse cultists lurking in the snowy mountains. Counting the warriors sent by the eldest mothers to protect the young people, there are less than twenty Nora people in total.
In the first round of attacks, the adult Nora warriors were targeted, and the exploding firebolts caused huge damage.
"Da da da da!"
The continuous buzz of heavy machine guns rang out from the snow-capped mountains. The Nora tribe, who only had bows and arrows, were unable to fight back under the suppression of high-tech weapons. This battle could be said to be a massacre.
Yongzhen set off with Lu Xiao's approval, and with the help of a few plants on the mountain for cover, he quietly approached the direction where the Eclipse Cult was ambush.
Lu Xiao also took off the small black stick mounted on his right arm armor. With a flick of his right hand, he transformed it into the form of a long bow. He bent the bow and pointed an arrow at the Eclipse cultists who were killing them.
"Having an absolute advantage in numbers and firepower, they adopted an ambush so cautiously and took advantage of the terrain in advance."
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Eclipse cultists who were standing on a high place launching long-range attacks: "Sirius is worthy of being a general. He intends to obtain the maximum results at the minimum cost."
With calculated calculations and no intention, coupled with the huge strength gap between the two sides, there was no suspense in this battle from the beginning.
If no one provides help to the young people of the Nora tribe participating in the trial, they will undoubtedly all die here, including Aloy, who has a special status.
Yongzhen, who was buried in the enemy's circle, took the lead to strike. Lu Xiao saw the light of the sword being unsheathed, and at the same time, he began to pull the magic bow string continuously.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The ambush circle chosen by the Eclipse Cultists could overlook the Nora tribesmen who were escaping hastily from a high place, but they were not targets in Lu Xiao's eyes.
Lu Xiao stood high on a mountain platform, with a height difference of at least 500 meters from the Solar Eclipse Cult's encirclement.
With the assistance of clairvoyance and the calculation of ballistic trajectories, the magic arrows he shoots can accurately hit the enemies below even in the heavy snow.
There is no need to use Aletheia's special armor-piercing arrows to deal with flesh-and-blood humans. The defenses of these Eclipse cultists who cover their faces tightly are not strong. As long as they hit the vital points, they can be eliminated with one arrow.
them.
"Da da da!"
Unable to see the target, the Eclipse cultists turned their heavy machine guns in the direction of the arrows and fired blindly against the snow and wind.
If Lu Xiao was shooting arrows near the Solar Eclipse Cultists, the fire suppression of the heavy machine gun might be able to play a certain role. Unfortunately, the Solar Eclipse Cultists did not know Lu Xiao's exact location, and all attacks hit empty spaces.
Under the cover of the wind and snow, Yongzhen moved around and attacked as nimbly as a swallow. She ignored the enemies who were randomly sweeping away with heavy machine guns, and instead focused on removing the fire suppression that Aloy and others were suffering from.
"Well!"
Lu Xiao did not disappoint Yongzhen. Several Eclipse cultists armed with heavy weapons were shot down one by one by arrows that seemed to have eyes.
Enemies who wanted to pick up heavy weapons from the ground were also targeted by Lu Xiao, and the dilemma faced by Aloy and others was somewhat alleviated.
While Lu Xiao was shooting at the living target below, he activated the Eagle Eye technique with all his strength to search for Sirius's whereabouts.
Perhaps because the development of the situation was seriously inconsistent with the plan, Sirius did not appear at the scene.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
The sound of flapping wings suddenly came from Lu Xiao's head. The sixth sense given by the Isu blood made the hairs on Lu Xiao's body stand on end, and he subconsciously stepped back to avoid it.
“Ka[Biquge www.biqugeso.info]!”
The icy cold air fell on the spot where Lu Xiao was standing. Only then did Lu Xiao discover that a dozen flying mechanical beasts had appeared above the mountain.
These mechanical beasts that flap their metal wings and fly are of medium size and are probably not the storm birds that dominate the sky.
"Lightning Eagle? And..."
The indicator lights on the heads of these Lightning Eagles are all red. Different from the normal attack signal lights, this red color is also mixed with some weird black lines.
The swarms of Lightning Eagles didn't give Lu Xiao much time to think. Relying on their air-to-ground advantage, they frequently extracted energy from the freezing tanks and launched wild bombings at Lu Xiao below.
While avoiding the Lightning Eagle's attack, Lu Xiao calmly made a guess: "A mechanical beast controlled by the Eclipse Cult?"
With the help of Focus, Lu Xiao saw the freezing tank mounted on the belly of the Lightning Eagle, which should be the source of their cold air.
Aiming at one of the moving Lightning Eagles, Lu Xiao's powerful dynamic vision allowed Lu Xiao to predict its movements in advance.
"Whoosh! Snap!"
The freezing tank was broken by the magic arrow, and the burst of cold air caused a backlash, freezing the Lightning Eagle's body.
The Lightning Eagle, unable to flap its wings, fell stiffly from the sky and hit several Eclipse cultists.
Once you find the correct way to respond, the next battle will be much easier.
Lu Xiao, who was busy shooting down the Lightning Eagle, had no time to support Yongzhen. He sent instructions to Yongzhen through Focus, asking her to retreat temporarily and keep her distance to kill the enemy with long-range attacks.
Yongzhen is not Lu Xiao. She does not have an infinitely regenerative magic furnace in her body. In this world where magic elements are inert, she has no intention of forcibly casting spells to attack.
Archery is also a very important part of samurai training, and Yongzhen once received strict instruction from Isshin.
Taking out a Japanese long bow from the demon refining pot, Yongzhen fully drew the bow string during the retreat, taking a preemptive strike before the Eclipse cultists launched an attack.
Sirius, who was hiding in the dark to observe the situation, was very angry. He didn't expect that such a careful plan would encounter changes.
"retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was over, Sirius forced himself to calm down and used Focus to issue orders to the surviving Eclipse cultists.
"There are not many enemies hiding in the dark. While they are busy dealing with the threat of the Lightning Eagle, immediately retreat deep into the snow-capped mountains!"
Although Lu Xiao wanted to follow these Eclipse cultists to find Sirius's whereabouts, the lightning eagles that were "spitting" everywhere frantically blocked him.
Yongzhen only had time to kill a few enemies who were lagging behind. Under the command of Sirius, the Eclipse cultists turned around and fought back at Yongzhen, relying on their numerical advantage to shoot flaming arrows that temporarily suppressed Yongzhen.
"boom!"
The last Lightning Eagle that fell to the ground was hit in the vital part by Lu Xiao with Xuanyuan Sword, and the sound of mechanical operation in the snow-capped mountains finally subsided completely.
If you observe carefully, you can find that strange energy flows in the metal bodies of these lightning eagles. This red-black flow of light makes Lu Xiao dare not touch it easily.
Using runes to peel off part of the energy and temporarily seal it, Lu Xiao looked solemnly at the unknown light band that was still moving in the seal.
"What the hell is this? Can it corrupt mechanical beasts?"
After the battle ended, Yongzhen glanced at the Nora tribesmen who were hiding behind the rock bunker and peeking out from a high place, then quietly disappeared and rushed to meet Lu Xiao.
Although Lu Xiao and Yongzhen came to help in time, they were only two people after all, and it was impossible to protect the safety of the Nora tribe while killing the enemy.
In the initial round of attacks, many Nora tribesmen died. After the battle, only 5 people survived, and almost all of them were injured. Aloy was one of them.
While other tribesmen were busy treating the wounded, Aloy left the group and nimbly jumped to the side of one of the Eclipse cultists who was shot dead by her own hands.
"This is?!"
Aloy looked at the Focus worn on the corpse's ears in surprise, and her world view was greatly impacted.
Since acquiring Focus, Aloy has not seen another person with the same device.
She was quite surprised to meet Olin not long ago, but at least he didn't have any ill intentions.
The scene before him made Aloy doubt his own inherent concepts.
'Is Focus a very common thing outside the Nora tribe's territory?'
