  Chapter 654 The Cheers of Victory

  Lian City, on the city defense tower, Scott put down the rechargeable rifle in his hand.

   Although the air is full of wet water droplets, which greatly reduces the power of the charging rifle, you will have no problem killing a scout eagle.

  As long as the other party dares to show his face and does not make any preparations, he will definitely die, but the problem is not to show his face.

   Looking at the mountain camp still shrouded in fog in the distance, Scott frowned slightly.

  Before the fog rose, he had already observed the team of mountain people.

Although after the thunder attack and the raid led by Ian, today's mountain people's troops are clearly dispirited when marching, but the troops with the sublimators as the core are still very stable—two sublimators went to chase Ian, Now the remaining one seems to be injured, but because of this, there is only one voice left in the whole team.

   Troops with three brains and one core are faster at least in terms of fulfilling orders.

   At this moment, ten mountain people walked out of the smoke from the distant position. They held simple projectile barrels and aimed at the direction of Lai'an City's fortifications, firing black dots one after another.

The rays of light from the rechargeable rifles shot at the helmets and armors of these soldiers, but a layer of moist ointment relieved the heat released by the light element ammunition, so that these soldiers were only taken aback and burned two, but not not dead.

  The small dots they fired were not artillery shells, but condensed smoke generating blocks. Large swaths of dense fog not only covered the positions of the mountain people, but also shrouded the fortifications of Laian City.

   Now neither side can use long-range precision strikes.

   "Need my shot?"

  Adbert stood next to Scott. Although Ian didn't entrust him to do anything, the warm-hearted dead king still felt embarrassed to do nothing during the war, so he came to the position on his own initiative.

   "I heard from adults that you are a water system sublimator."

  The Iron Man was not polite either. He pointed in the direction of the mountain people's position in the fog: "Can you see through the fog and know the enemy's movements? Or quickly dispel the fog?"

"Simple."

Adalbert looked at the mountain people's position, the faint spirit fire flickered in the depths of his eyes, and he counted skillfully: "Two squadrons, with nearly 300 troops, are moving. They are wearing light armor and are heading towards the Proceed in the direction of the woods around Lake Ryan."

  Scott looked at Adalbert, and couldn't help but take a serious look. He didn't expect to get such detailed information. Where did the lord find another clairvoyant? The friends he met outside are too powerful, they are capable of scientific research and have strength.

   But in fact, Adalbert is more powerful than he imagined.

   "It seems that when they confront us head-on, they will send an elite team to bypass the position, use the woods as a cover, and attack our rear from the side of the lake."

  After learning the information, Scott knew it. He turned his head and looked towards the lake: "But there is a key defense area. There is a magnetic storm coil there, and there are various traps. They will not have a good time."

   "Kelen, go call Lan Dian and ask him to take his own mercenary team to strengthen the defense."

   The orderly responded. Scott continues to direct.

Compared with the defenders of Lai'an City, the number of mountain people's troops is still overwhelming, and because Ian and Qing Chao each took half of the magnetic storm armor to go out to make a surprise attack, and they have not yet returned to the team, so most of them are Lai'an militiamen. Ancheng didn't have any possibility of taking the initiative to fight, he could only see the tricks.

  However, compared to the gloomy atmosphere in the city before the war, the morale of the defenders today is good—how could the lord trigger the thunder to bombard the enemy? This kind of thing is too wonderful, whether it is a sublimation skill or some kind of weapon, or that the lord is really the lord of Lai'an City by destiny, it is enough to inspire people's hearts.

  Adbert dispersed the fog on the side of Laian City. Although there were soldiers who continued to fire smoke blocks in an attempt to block the firepower of Laian City, Adbert dispersed faster than they fired.

   Moreover, he can also see through and make reports.

   "Suppression of enemy positions."

  According to the information fed back by Adalbert, Scott began to command firepower strikes, the sound of cannons sounded, and more than a dozen ordinary artillery in the city fired ammunition one after another, bombarding the foggy area in the distance.

  The shells exploded on the ground, setting off large swathes of dust, but these gunpowder weapons could hardly cause fatal damage to the mountain troops.

The ditches dug by earth-type sublimators and the walls formed can well block the firepower of the shells, and the cost of the alchemy cannon's warhead alone is nearly ten talers, and the specific process is even more complicated, unless it is the enemy's second-level sublimator. Otherwise, it would be impossible to use such an expensive thing as a suppression tool.

  The troops of the mountain people also began to fight back. They originally planned to attract the attention of Lai'an City and provide cover for the elite squadron that took advantage of the fog to transfer.

  For a while, there was a lot of artillery fire.

If you expect to fight an ordinary war in Terra, with bows and arrows and swords and guns, you may have to go to the dark forest in the north of Terra, which is a truly wild place, even the southernmost Port Harrison in the world to fight with the natives , also after the artillery suppressed, the sublimators of both sides will come forward to decide the direction of the war.

  But the mountain people never expected that their movements would be directly seen through.

   "Boss, that's two squadrons!"

  The mercenaries led by Lan Dian are still a little uneasy. Although they did expect to be recruited by the local lord when they were sent here, they were also shocked by Ian's perfect preparation and various powerful fortifications.

But when they really saw the mountain folk squadron that was close to the woodland by the lake and was about to rush into the city from the side, they still couldn't help being a little suspicious: "There are less than 30 of us, and the three magnetic storm armors can really stop it." ?"

  【We don’t only have magnetic storm armor】

  Lan Dian was driving a magnetic storm armor, slamming the airway. For more than a week, he has been assisting Ian and the people in the alchemy workshop to perfect the magnetic storm armor and coils, and to control the war weapons that he has contributed to. He is not nervous at all, and even the surface of the armor flashes a little Layers of blue current: [Fighting around the magnetic storm coil, with bare hands and deer horns, you charge the magnetic storm coil]

  【Whoever comes out of the woods first, guide the arc to blow them up! 】

The lurking mountain folk squadron was just about to speed up and leave the forest, rush into the city to create chaos, and then break through the position of Laian City from the rear, but just as they left the forest, they heard a strange sound, but their instincts gave them a dangerous boost la' current sound.

A blue and white arc of lightning fell towards the forward of the mountain people, and the leading soldiers were immediately enveloped by the arc, emitting green smoke silently, and fell to the ground like logs. The commander of this unit Surprised, he discovered that the defenders of Lai'an City had also deployed an army here.

  Because he still remembered the feeling of being attacked by the sky thunder before, his hairs stood on end immediately, and he shouted to stabilize the troops: "Scatter your positions! There are not many enemies, advance in a staggered way!"

Most of the lightning sublimators who can control electric currents serve in the army. Their ability to block communication and their speed have always been the leaders of the vanguard. They can lead the team to raid the enemy's weakest area quietly and cause huge damage. , this captain is also a lightning-type sublimator, he understands the advantages of his ability very well.

   But no one tried to tie Thunder to the ground for positional defense.

   "It's that tower!" A soldier shouted.

The magnetic storm coil is indeed very conspicuous, especially the dangerous electric arc flashing around it, which tells everyone that it is the core, and the two magnetic storm armors are located at the base of the tower, releasing the arc charge, making the top of the magnetic storm coil shine. The light is getting brighter.

   "Throw out the spare weapon and divert the current!"

The commander of this mountain army is very good, and he has already thought about the countermeasures. He took out his metal hand ax from his waist, condensed his lightning source quality, and threw it high towards the magnetic storm coil, saying firmly: "First and second teams, charge with me!"

  The mountain people's team listened to the order, and for a while, a large number of throwing axes and knives went towards the magnetic storm coil, and the ground was densely packed, just like a small dark cloud. The captain's lightning element turned these weapons into a simple lightning inducer.

  The thunder from the magnetic storm coil fell, but it fell on these metal weapons, but it didn't hit anyone.

  Seeing this scene, the commander breathed a sigh of relief. With the advancing speed of the troops, as long as he diverts the first wave of attacks from the magnetic storm coil, he can rush to the side of the fortifications and lead the team to give these defending troops a fatal blow.

   It's just a pity, they really underestimated the preparations for Lai'an City.

  When a mountain soldier stepped on the ground, he felt that he seemed to be stepping on something hard.

  Before he lifted his foot, he already felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to think about it.

   Explosions appear on the soles of his feet.

  Time seems to freeze here.

  The Mountain Man Commander slowly opened his eyes wide. He saw a soldier beside him being blown away by a landmine explosion that appeared on his feet. The high-speed metal shrapnel collided with his armor, making dents one by one.

  The scattered blood of the soldiers fluttered in the air, carrying a warm and real breath, as well as the smell of death.

Then there were continuous explosions, and soldiers were constantly blown away by the minefields, and a large part of them did not die. This was entirely due to the strong physical fitness and armor quality of the Terrans, and Feiyan supported them. The weapons and equipment are all regular military grade.

   But this is even more desperate.

  Howls sounded on the battlefield, and the team of the mountain people began to slow down at the fastest speed, and even retreated, while the charging light flow of the magnetic storm coil lit up again.

"Fucking Imperials!" The commander knew that the situation was over, and even if the number of surviving troops still exceeded 250, he still had an overwhelming advantage over the defenders, but it was impossible for him to launch a second charge. .

   He raised his sword, ready for a final charge, and Blue Electric didn't even look at him, just turned back to charge the magnetic storm coil.

  The light soared.

  A lightning arc struck down, hitting the commander of the mountain people.

  The magnetic storm coil flashes endless light streams, equally turning everything into fly ash.

  The mountain people's sneak attack failed.

  The Mountain People Headquarters didn't know this yet, Tie Chen commanded the troops to exchange firepower with the defenders, but his heart gradually sank.

  —Snake Yan and Zhenzhou were chasing one, and they were still wearing armor and hitting the flesh. They should have captured that Bai Zhimin boy long ago. Why haven't they come here yet?

Although this would not prevent him from being robbed of the credit for taking back Laian City, a possibility that he couldn't believe suddenly appeared in the chief's heart: "Could it be that the white-haired boy is really so difficult to deal with, let him run away gone?"

   "It's really not impossible, it's the second level of fairy blood, I really want to run, I don't know how fast I can run..."

  However, just before the news of the raid's defeat came back.

  The real bad news came.

   "Chief! Enemy troops appear behind!"

When he heard the news, Tie Chen thought he was hallucinating. He turned his head and looked at the back of his position. The lord of the hair is commanding in midair, leading the torrent of steel and thunder to charge forward.

  Ian found the retreating magnetic storm armor troops at the first time, then led them around, and directly attacked the tail of the mountain folk troops.

   This is an attack that decides the outcome, and he is full of confidence.

   "What's going on?! What about Zhenzhou and Snake Rock!?"

  Tie Chen took a breath, and immediately ordered the troops to reverse direction, mobilizing alchemy cannons to bombard the magnetic storm armors that came from behind. Now they have not been attacked by sky thunder, and the formation is very stable. The imperial people thought that they could be defeated by two sides. It was really a big mistake. When he eats this magnetic storm armor troop, he can attack the city head-on without any scruples!

  But at this moment, Ian has raised his sword.

   It was not the Abyss Iron Sword, but a steel-patterned sword. The ordinary long sword was now covered with a layer of interlaced ice blades with a chill, and all the magnetic storm armors also raised their magnetic storm launchers.

   "Charge!"

  The ground roared, and the steel exoskeleton power armor trampled on the ground, causing the woods and rocks on both sides to continuously shake their leaves and shake, and the mud on the ground had waves like sea tides.

  The first wave of artillery from the mountain army turned around, and they were already aiming.

But Ian's speed was as fast as a shooting star. When the gunfire roared, he raised his sword and slashed across, the oncoming shells were cut open, and his sword wind continued to extend forward, cutting the outermost All the mountain soldiers were pushed down and sent flying.

Then, he slammed into the rear end of the mountain army, bursting into large swathes of broken rocks, armor remains and flesh and blood fragments. The mountain soldiers retreated tremblingly, giving way to a circular vacuum area, and landed on the Ian here raised his head, and there were no other mountain soldiers in his eyes, only the astonished Chief Tiechen.

Behind him, the arcs of thunder lighted up one after another, and the troop of the magnetic storm armor followed Ian and crashed into the rear of the mountain army. A large number of soldiers collapsed amidst the smell of charcoal and barbecue. Shoving to leave this place, causing the entire formation to become chaotic.

   "The enemy army is in chaos!"

  In Laian City, Scott was keenly aware of the loud shouts of killing coming from behind the fog. He turned his head to look at Adalbert, and got an affirmative answer: "Ian is there."

   "Fire support!" The Iron People did not make the decision to charge out of the city and attack Ian on both sides, because he knew that the next mountain people army would definitely collapse and leave the area shrouded in clouds and mist.

   Immediately afterwards, whether it is a salvo of artillery or charged rifles, it will bring huge damage.

  That is really the best way to support.

  At this moment, Ian confronted Tie Chen.

   One man, one sword, crushing the enemy. This incident is not uncommon in Terra, but it can only be said that such a scene occurs when both sides have the same energy level, and even the number of sublimators is several times that of one side.

   "Damn you baizhimin kid, die!"

  Tie Chen had no mood or room to talk nonsense anymore. He picked up his battle ax from the side. Although his lumbar spine still ached a little from the previous armor battle, he still believed in his own strength.

  咚咚咚—The burly leader of the mountain people ran without hesitation. He led a team of his own personal guards to attack Ian.

   "The corpse is talking."

  But Ian raised his sword, and he also started to charge. The Hanhui skeleton pushed him to accelerate, causing the ice-blue sword edge to create an arc in midair.

  Everyone present could see that an ice-blue streamer swept across the entire battlefield.

  A gust of cold wind swirled, and Ian appeared behind Tie Chen and his troops, and he slowly put his sword back into its sheath.

   And at the moment when the steel-pattern sword was completely withdrawn from its scabbard, Tie Chen and his personal guards were all amputated at the waist.

  Blood spurted out, Tie Chen was still alive, the medicine injected before made his vitality extremely tenacious, and even his strength and speed were greatly improved, but it was still not enough for Ian who also took the medicine.

  He wanted to say something more, but Ian didn't listen.

  The ice gradually spread, freezing Tie Chen's head and making his eyes dull.

  The last mountain chief died, and the mountain army was completely disintegrated—they started crying and running, fleeing, and the distant city of Laian fired beams of rechargeable rifles, killing the fleeing soldiers.

   And when Ian led the magnetic storm armor troops and appeared in the field of vision of Leian City, the entire battlefield fell into silence for a while, and everyone's eyes were locked on their lord.

   Created all these situations, brought new technologies, defeated the enemy, and took the lead in breaking through the enemy's formation. They are well-deserved lords and leaders.

   Immediately afterwards, there was cheering—the cheering of victory!

  Victory came.

   I still made up today’s update to end this episode. After all, it was agreed that there will be an update this month. The latest update has lost 12,000 words, but the daily average is still 1w!
