Just when the war between the contestants and the kobolds in the astral plane was about to break out, in a luxuriously decorated room next to the platform where the space door to the astral plane was placed in the main world, several tournament organizers
The person in charge of the party all sat there with nervous expressions on their faces, staring at a very elderly woman wearing a rough white cloth robe.
Although her clothes were not conspicuous, the holy emblem on her chest that always released the power of holy light proved that she was a senior cleric of the Church of the Passion of God at the regional bishop level.
"——Is this news true, Sister Carissa?" The priest of the Ocean God, who was wearing a blue priest robe, showed disbelief in his eyes. "The scouts we sent to investigate the black iron level arena remember it really well.
Has everything been modified?"
"To be precise, it's not all, but the final result is not much better. Because the person who was captured by the natives and whose memory was modified was the investigator who went to investigate the volcano in the core of that space." The high-ranking priest of the Church of the Suffering God said. "Now that
A group of kobolds already know our identity. What we are going to do is to use magic to hide a fatal message. That is that the kobolds in that space are already a unified force and have their own beliefs."
"My own faith?" 1/3 of the people present now are from various churches. Of course they know what the kobolds mean by their own faith. "Is it His Majesty, the kobold god?"
Although the gods everyone believes in are hostile to each other, they still have to have the most basic respect for the gods anyway. Because the natives of that astral plane are kobolds, everyone else present thinks that those kobolds should believe in themselves.
Race God. But Grandma Carissa shook her head.
"No, it's not that Your Majesty." Carissa's face suddenly turned ugly. "Although I tried my best just now, I still couldn't restore all the memories of those people. The only ones that can be confirmed now are these kobolds.
The power of the unknown thing worshiped is associated with fire and death."
"Damn it! So what should we do next?" Unknown beliefs often represent danger, because in this world, beliefs are not only related to gods, but also demons, false gods and even some unspeakable things.
So after hearing the news, the official representative of the White Eagle Federation stood up and asked everyone on the field. "Can we just sit here and wait for the final result?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact." The priest of the Church of Knowledge said helplessly, "The rules of this astral space called Sea and Flame only allow people with Black Iron level and below to enter, and the method of escape is also limited.
The only way is to be ejected by the space itself seven days after entering. We are not incapable of doing something about this low-level plane, but the time to do something now is too short and it is too late. "
"Well, now I can only pray that our young elites can solve all the problems." The soldier shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. "Besides praying, I can't think of anything else I can do."
Lawrence and the others were completely unaware of the nervousness and worry of the organizers outside. Of course, even if they knew about these problems at this time, they had no time to pay attention to them because the kobolds had already rushed up.
The woods gave the kobolds enough cover, but it also made it difficult for their long-range weapons to be fully effective. In order to exert the power of their weapons, they could only leave the woods and walk to the open space.
There were not many kobolds holding bows and arrows, only eleven or two. These archers seemed to be very confident in the poisoned arrows in their hands, so they even lined up slowly after they walked out of the woods.
Lawrence and the others would naturally not let go of this good opportunity. In Lawrence's field of vision, before the kobold archers could even draw the single bows in their hands, they were easily captured by the members of their team with the firearms they carried.
He fell down in the clearing in the forest.
After discovering that the long-range attack plan had failed, another drum sound came from the jungle ahead. In an instant, a large group of kobolds appeared from the surrounding trees and rushed out.
Kobolds are not powerful monsters. To be precise, kobolds in mountainous and hilly areas, goblins on the plains, and murlocs by the water can be regarded as the most common extraordinary creatures that are most common for ordinary people and the most common ones that destroy ordinary people's lives. Most ordinary ones
Everyone has dealt with these nasty guys.
For example, the contestants here have basically dealt with one or even all of these guys. Naturally, they also know that these creatures always win by quantity, and their individual combat power is very average, and can even be described as weak. Often in one-on-one battles
He couldn't beat an ordinary person in a duel.
But no matter how weak they were, the scene when more than 200 kobolds charged with spears was still very shocking. I saw them rushing out from behind the tree where they were hiding before, then holding spears and howling towards Lawrence and the others.
The place.
The moment the kobolds rushed out, Lawrence and the others' guns crackled loudly behind the parapet: almost every transcendent here carried a firearm, and many of them carried more than one.
The distance from the edge of the woods to the fortifications set up by Lawrence and the others was only about 30 meters, and the kobolds were arranged too densely due to terrain restrictions. So much so that Lawrence and the others were unable to penetrate a kobold with their bullets.
It can also hurt the one behind it.
In addition to the heavy rain of bullets, the previously dug traps and obstacles formed a chasm that the kobolds could not break through. The fallen corpses and the injured holding their feet and wailing blocked the middle of the road, forcing the uninjured to charge.
The speed has slowed down. This also makes it easier for Lawrence and the others to use firearms to name the kobolds one by one.
"Something's wrong." Just as everyone behind the fortifications was killing people, Lawrence suddenly felt that something was wrong. After all, even if the morale of the kobolds was higher than that of the goblins, it was not much higher. A successive charge like this was not like the kobolds at all.
Under normal circumstances, 1/5 of the kobolds who fell should have collapsed long ago.
While thinking like this, Lawrence subconsciously began to observe the surrounding situation. At this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that a column of bubbles in the wetland on his right was spreading towards his own position.
"There is something in the wetland on the right, throw explosives." Lawrence shouted decisively. In an instant, Zhu Yan and several extraordinary people carrying explosives simultaneously removed the obstacles to be hooked and threw them into the nearby
in wetlands.
"Boom - bang." Following a dull explosion, seven or eight two-story-high white water columns rushed out from the wetland surface, and then fell down under the action of gravity, hitting the water surface and splashing a large amount of water.
Not long after, some foal-sized monitor lizards and kobolds that looked like they had awakened their bloodline floated to the surface from the water. Most of them had turned into corpses, and only a few struggling ones were easily lifted by Lawrence and the others.
Get rid of it.
Among them, a kobold who led the team wearing metal-encrusted leather armor looked more powerful than the others. He also tried to resist with a bronze axe, but soon, Zhu Yan easily killed the vomiting man with magic bullets.
Blood and visceral fragments, a trainee-level samurai who had obviously been severely injured.
Apparently, when the group of infantry charged from the front to attract Lawrence's attention, a dozen giant lizards and kobold cavalry here tried to use the amphibious ability of the giant lizards to pass through the swamp that ordinary people could not pass, and then passed through Lawrence's vulnerable flanks.
Attack them.
However, after Lawrence discovered that something was wrong, he decisively used a large number of explosives to explode underwater. The powerful shock wave produced caused serious damage to the fragile internal organs of these attackers.
Extraordinaries are indeed very powerful, but the internal organs of mid- and low-level Extraordinaries have not been strengthened to an extraordinary level. Therefore, they were severely damaged immediately after the bomb exploded underwater.
"Cut off its head and show it to the guys in front." Lawrence commanded. Okita Sakura immediately stepped forward and chopped off the head of the cavalry captain, and then followed Lawrence's command to pick up the knife and swing it.
The kobolds who had been fighting head on just now let out a miserable howl when they saw the provoked giant lizard cavalry captain's head, and then retreated. Their first round of attack ended just like that.
