  Chapter 650 Ian Borrows Thunder

  The heavy rain poured down, and the raindrops hit the branches and leaves of the forest fiercely, making the crown of the tree tremble and making a loud tide sound.

  The mountains of Nanling were suddenly filled with thick rain and fog, and the hazy moisture spread across the forest and the avenue.

   "This rain is really not the right time."

  Seeing the rain, Snake Rock couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Although covered by the heavy rain, their march would be more concealed and they wouldn't be hit by the artillery of Laian City, but conversely, their marching speed would also be affected.

  Do you want to wait for the rain to stop before attacking?

  He was still thinking about this question, but he didn't know that when the cannon fired an hour ago, a troop set off.

  Their goal is the baggage of the mountain army!

Because the roads in the Nanling Mountains are narrow, the troops cannot be effectively deployed. The mountain people's supply troops are located at the rear of the mountain people's troops. They carry food, armor supplies, and spare parts for the camp. It is impossible to keep up with the large troops—but This does not mean that its combat effectiveness is weak. In fact, any supply unit has a certain combat effectiveness, and there are several small teams as flanks to protect it.

   But the raid team is even more elite.

In the mountain area, a supply troop of more than 150 people is slowly advancing, and there are two large moose monsters guarding it beside it. The huge rock horns are as high as the canopy of a tree, with many branches, and the huge one over three meters high Their size allows them to tow a lot of cargo as well.

   "The rain made the road too muddy!" An officer of the supply unit looked at the torrential rain and couldn't help shaking his head: "It's even hard to tell the direction."

   "Isn't our weather like this?" Another officer said indifferently: "It's not like I haven't seen heavier rain... In the year of the big storm, the rain rushed down the hillside and almost wiped out the tribe."

   "That's true." The officer was not surprised by this, after all, the weather in Nanling was like this, and it was normal when it was raining and windy.

   But even so, the forward speed of the transport troops will inevitably be greatly reduced. If you step on the muddy ground, if the shoes are not tight enough, you may even pull out your feet, and your boots will get stuck in the mud.

  The wheels of the convoy hardly rolled on the wet muddy road, but were forcibly dragged forward by the power of the camels and monsters.

The mountain army has no objection to attacking Lai'an City - not only because it is a holy place, but also because of the wealth of Lai'an City, although there have been two parts of the mountain pass and the hard valley, and a hanging peak part that has been plundered in advance But haven't they all been killed by the new lord?

  Since this is the case, all the wealth of Lai’an should still be in the city, and the lord spent a lot of money to rebuild it, so he might be able to loot more now!

It is obviously unrealistic to expect that these mountain people really have any lofty nationalist spirit. In fact, they don't even have a foul-smelling nationalist spirit-they don't feel that their rebellion is really for the purpose of rebuilding the dragon god. The country's "reconstruction of the Mountain Federation" is very clear to everyone. They are just props in the battle between the flames and the empire. And give some of the most precious things in the future.

   Like life.

   Therefore, before the end of their lives, they must obtain as much wealth as possible and plunder what they want. All the rebel mountain people have been promised by their leaders. If they capture Lai'an City, they are allowed to plunder for three days.

  So, this team is full of momentum, it is the power condensed by the greed for wealth and the desire for credit.

  However, just as the supply troops continued to move forward, suddenly, the leading Ascendant officer seemed to hear something strange.

  ZiZiZi...

  He couldn't hear it clearly, but in the black forest filled with rain and fog, there seemed to be some sounds of electric currents flowing.

   "There is a situation!"

  As a sublimator, it is naturally impossible for the officer to ignore this weird sign. He immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Defend in place!"

   He said so, this is already a fairly fast reaction.

   But it was still too late.

  Because among the dark woods, blue electric lights suddenly lit up.

  Boom!

  The air suddenly exploded, and thunder arcs visible to the naked eye struck from both sides of the mountain forest towards the supply troops, and dazzling electric lights fell on every astonished mountain soldier.

  —crack, sizzling!

For a moment, the front-end troops of the supply troops seemed to be hit by a thunder shell, and the personnel flew away. Among them, those who were not seriously injured were just rolling in the mud pit. , wanting to figure out what was attacking him.

   And those directly hit by the magnetic storm have turned into coke in situ.

  Buzzing buzzing—blue-blue electric lights lit up, and huge black shadows emerged in the hazy rain and fog, making piercing electric sounds.

It was a pair of sturdy power armor, a full two meters high, wrapped in dark green armor, with two 'I' shaped magnetic storm generators on both sides of the body, and the driver passed through a diving head The thick observation mirror of the hood observes the outside world.

  Blue-blue electric light flashed beside the generator, and the dense rainwater poured down on the ground as if the current melted, inspiring large swathes of charged mist.

   Then, several power armors began to charge!

"Attack! Attack!" The officer immediately commanded the troops to fight back, and there was a continuous sound of bullets being fired, and the rain of bullets was just like the downpour now, pouring on these power armors—but they were all bounced off by the outer armor, even It is impossible to leave even a little mark on it.

"Anti-shock armor?! Where did the inscription craftsman put the things used for ether armament on the power armor?!" The officer was shocked when he saw this scene. Horrified defenses: "Heavy firepower must be used—the sublimator must also go! Charge with me!"

  He drew out the long sword at his waist, and the gust of wind visible to the naked eye was wrapped around the weapon.

  The defensive power of the impact-resistant armor is related to the alchemy furnace core. These power armors are not armor, and the alchemy furnace core loaded is definitely not large. With the strength of an officer, it is enough to break through the defense and cause fatal damage to the driver inside.

  However, another swift figure sprang out, bringing a smooth Taotao sword light.

   "Your opponent is me!"

   Qing Chao laughed and rushed forward, his figure was hidden behind the huge size of the magnetic storm armor, just waiting for the moment when the mountain officer wanted to block the magnetic storm armor!

He holds two swords in his hand, the family-heirloom sea-born long sword and the Yifeng long sword gifted by Ian shine brightly in the rain and fog, and the streamer brings up afterimages that are constantly changing trajectories. The blue-haired swordsman looks like a A sharp arrow shot towards the mountain officer.

  How could the mountain officer think that there was such a master ambushing him? Before he could breathe, he could only forcibly raise his sword to block.

  But his block was blocked by Aoshio's swift left-handed sword for an instant—and the swordsman's right-handed sword had already been cut from the side.

The sea-born long sword in the rain seemed to stir up the torrent. It easily cut into the officer's left shoulder with a water blade several meters long, and then split it in two, causing the unlucky mountain officer to die on the spot. .

   This is hand-to-hand combat—in an instant, it is a matter of life and death.

  Although Qing Chao is called a second-level ordinary genius by Ian, how can he be called a genius in Ian's mouth, how can he be really ordinary?

This person from a poor family and without much education, who can reach the peak of the first energy level only by practicing hard military swordsmanship, and the sublimator who can reach the second energy level with potions, came to face some people who only relied on blood. The mountain civilian officer is really a dimensionality reduction attack.

   "The first head."

Qingchao retracted his sword, he didn't even pay much attention to the officer he killed, he just recited a number silently, which was his habit as a mercenary back then—because he had another target, that is, the two men who had gone mad because of the commander's death Moose of Warcraft.

   "The second and third are coming soon."

  He smiled and stepped forward without any hesitation—at that moment, the swordsman turned into a mist in the water and flew towards the mountain people's troops.

   Going with him, there are five magnetic storm armors.

  The charge led by Qing Chao and the magnetic storm armor as the main force completely crushed the first and only wave of resistance of the mountain people's logistics troops.

  Thunderstorms criss-crossed among the teams, but they couldn't harm the magnetic storm armor itself, while Qingchao was thrillingly shuttled through the arcs fired by friendly troops. Every time the sword light was on, he could kill one after another mountain soldiers who wanted to resist.

unstoppable.

They smashed the forward guarding the baggage, and then trampled and smashed the supplies, food, and camp parts like an angry bull. The monster moose wanted to collide with the magnetic storm armor, but a sword light skillfully Passing across its neck, a huge deer head fell to the ground.

  In contrast, the huge target of the magnetic storm armor attracted almost all the firepower. They waved the thunder whip and whipped the food supplies. In the flash of lightning, a fire in the rainstorm turned all the food into coke.

  The earth is trembling, and thunder is criss-crossing.

   When the remaining mountain people finally got together under the command of another officer, ready to launch a real counterattack, the figure of the magnetic storm armor and Qing Chao had disappeared.

   Hit and run—this was the strategy Ian had assigned to them.

   Only fight the first wave that is caught off guard, and destroy as many supplies as you can.

  What they need to do is to raid the mountain people's supply troops again and again, so that the opponent has to attack Lai'an City as soon as possible and fight Lai'an City!

   "The supply unit was attacked?!"

   When the mountain people headquarters led by Sheyan learned the news, it was already an hour later.

  The rain slowed down the pace of news transmission, and the skinny chief had a look of incredulity on his face: "You mean, a sublimator led the team and brought five knights in sublimated armor to completely crush the supply troops?"

   "How is this possible! They have three squads of armed men! In the end, they were overwhelmed by six people?"

Although he was so puzzled on his lips, he actually understood that this was normal—the Ascendant Swordsman headed by him was obviously a little too powerful, and the brand new magnetic storm armor that appeared on the Lean collar was also powerful in rainy days Surprisingly, many soldiers were not directly electrocuted to death, but were paralyzed and shocked to the ground by the electric current erupted from the magnetic storm armor.

  Some people drowned in the mud, some were trampled to death by armor, some were stabbed... The number of people who died in these strange ways was four or five times more than those who were directly turned into coke by electricity.

Snake Yan's thoughts turned, he was not stupid, and immediately understood that this was the conspiracy of the new lord of Lai'an City to urge him to attack Lai'an City—after destroying the luggage, the morale of the troops would be hit no matter what, and the camp and supplies will be affected.

  Even if they still have supplies in the camp at the mouth of the gorge, it will take time... Not to mention, if they can attack once before, can't the opponent attack a second time?

  Although Snake Rock didn't know how his troops' marching route was predicted, even if he guessed it, he had to deduce it as reality.

   This is a conspiracy.

  He must launch an attack immediately, because if this continues, when the soldiers really have to worry about rations, Snake Rock will no longer be able to control the army like it is now.

   It is not only impossible for the scattered mountain people to defeat Lai'an City, they may even be defeated by Lai'an City in turn!

   "Everyone has it, target, Lai'an City!"

   Without the slightest hesitation, he announced with the loudest voice and asked the orderly to pass on his password to the whole army: "Since the enemy has left us without food, then we will kill them all and grab their food to eat ourselves!"

   "The food in Laian City is our food!"

   Encouraging his troops so much, Snake Rock has already sat in his armor.

  As the message bones were connected, the dark green Feiyandi fifth-generation land combat armor stood up from the transport vehicle, and then came to the front of the team with a swift gesture that is difficult for humans to understand: "Follow me to attack!"

  The panic of the soldiers was dispelled by the armor.

  —Yes, so what if Lai’an City attacked the supply troops? Doesn't this just mean that the enemy is afraid of us?

  As long as they attack Laian City, everything will be fine!

  Boom...

  Above the sky, dark clouds rolled, and thick electric arcs flowed and rolled amidst the violent roar, showing the mighty power of nature.

  At the top of the tower of Lai'an City, Ian narrowed his eyes, watching the sword light flickering in the distance.

"It seems that Qingchao is the most stable one." He muttered to himself, but laughed instead: "The commander of the mountain people is actually a smart man. Push forward—if I really just intend to concentrate my forces on a surprise attack while the team is marching in the rain, then there is nothing I can do in the face of such an array."

   "But this time it's different."

  The young man raised his head, and under the incredible eyes of Scott and the Laian City militiamen behind him, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Because the sky is also helping us."

   "Look. Thunder will be our weapon!"

  Following Ian's finger, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the distant sky, fell from the midair, and smashed towards the area that was most likely to be the mountain army.

  Boom! A shining straight line appeared between the sky and the earth, illuminating the dark world and at the same time stirring everyone's hearts.

   Obviously, the lightning inducer has begun to work.

   Not just one.

  The lights of the detonators intertwined and fell.

  For those mountain troops who are marching, all this is unbelievable like a nightmare.

  But for Lai'an City, the thunder that descended following the guidance of its lord was as incredible as a miracle.
