Chapter 693 National War: Nowhere to Escape

The burly behemoth-like figure charged like a chariot, the air buzzed with glass fragments, and the sound of continuous explosions sounded as he charged forward, and an indomitable momentum hit him!

"shield!"

"guard!"

He took out the arcane box, took out the arcane armor that made up for his own weakness of speed, and sensed the powerful offensive with a rising threat!

At the critical moment, Fangran could only feel helpless and had no other choice. He threw out the scabbards of two chocolate boxes and dodged to avoid it. Meng Lang on the other side also summoned a shield to block the flying glass fragments, and then brought it with him. Follow Gou Yu and rush to the back together!

Two white light shields unfolded one after another. Leonidas' eyes under his sunglasses did not waver in the slightest. The giant metal claws in front of him directly smashed the light of the two shields!

"I'll go! So fierce!?"

The [Shield] just now had hundreds of points of magic energy, and it was broken directly! ?

"Stop talking nonsense! Run quickly!!"

Without enough time to be shocked by the power of Leonidas' frontal charge, Fangran listened to Meng Lang's shouting behind him and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the stairs leading to the upper floor!

But just as they were about to pass through the office area on this floor, alert suddenly sounded. Meng Lang instinctively grabbed the other two people to stop them from moving forward and shouted:

"careful!!"

Buzz—!

In the next second, the heat energy of the technological beam melted directly through the ground. Neil, who fired from the three floors below, accurately sniped at the place where Fangran and the others were about to reach in the next second!

On the other side, he relied on strength to smash the light shields of Fang Ran and Meng Lang. Leonidas, who did not cooperate with Neil's blockade, frowned slightly and lowered his head, looking at the Arcana-Driver Armor on his legs. ,

The frost on top is slowly melting by the heat of the engine...

...

"Oh? Did you notice it and avoid it?"

In the viewing room of the royal court, sitting on a seat with a gentleman's cane, Korossus looked with interest at Meng Lang, who was pulling Fang Ran and Gou Yu away from Neil's shooting on the virtual screen, and then looked at On another screen, Leonidas spoke with a hint of humor:

"It's true that Leo is so serious about opening the Arcane Box so quickly against an opponent who is obviously a newbie."

After hearing his obvious lack of seriousness, Herschel, who was sitting next to him with meticulous posture, calmly said:

"Humility and prudence are rare virtues. Moreover, although the opponent is of a low rank, he is experienced in judging battle situations."

Also looking at the virtual screen, so that his attention was not always focused on the young man, Le Guien looked at Leonidas who was putting great pressure on Fangran and the other three, and looked at the space between his legs. Mechanical leg armor with mysterious arcane light on it.

"I remember that this is also one of the models of arcane armor developed by Mr. Night Palace Instructor?"

"That's right, the driver's third-generation leg armor, if divided into categories, is probably equivalent to assisting participants with a B-level rank. Although it is not an integrated version of the zero-generation with all functions, it is still difficult for ordinary people to control. Flexible armor that delivers explosive wartime speed.”

The blond and handsome young man smiled slightly and looked at the battle of participants taking place in a skyscraper on the virtual screen.

...

Heavy footsteps sounded from behind, and the thought of being chased filled my mind with a sense of oppression. Once again, they barely managed to keep a little distance apart. The three people dodging in this Lanthol building felt that there was no way to escape!

The opponent has been chasing them closely. Leonidas, who is responsible for the frontal battle, is so fierce that it makes people unable to fight. Moreover, Leonidas alone is not completely unstoppable. The most important thing is Underneath the unknown floor, there was Neil who was always locking their position, providing Leonidas with the opportunity to catch up with them while constantly shooting blocking beams.

Even if Fangran used lightning strikes from time to time to try to repel Leonidas or delay his steps, he was blocked by the unknown light defense in front of him.

It stands to reason that lightning strike, which is a very powerful attack method among participants of the same level, is completely unable to exert its due power and effect.

Summoning the light shield again to block the unpreventable beam shot that penetrated the floor from below, Meng Lang looked back at the big man's location, analyzed the current situation, and shouted to the two people around him:

"This can't continue like this! We won't be able to escape their tracking like this!"

It would be okay if he encountered such an opponent in ordinary times. Meng Lang would have to expose his true strength and take Fangran and Gou Yu out. Anyway, his strength was basically exposed in the minds of the two of them.

But this is a national war!

In a national war that takes into account the dignity of the country, the participants cannot say that everyone implements their beliefs for their respective positions, but it is also an occasion where they should perform their duties. He cannot do anything without taking it into account, and can only rely on experience, perception, and judgment. Here he dodges and escapes in embarrassment.

"The frontal attack and long-range lock on the person on the other side are so coordinated, but something is wrong! His armor propulsion will only take effect during combat, but even with such heavy equipment, it's weird that he can catch up with us so fast. Got it!"

Following Fangran and Meng Lang, they fled to the thirteenth floor of the Lanthe Building. Unlike Meng Lang, he was a genuine E-class. Gou Yu tried his best not to burden the two of them, and at the same time, he rarely used the opponent's attacks to impact. Looking at his gap, he lowered his eyes and made the calmest analysis.

He discovered at a glance that no matter how tall and strong he was, with such equipment and weapons, it was strange that Leonidas had such light speed. Normally, the bigger and stronger the person, the less fast and agile he was. type!

But even after discovering this, and no matter how he analyzed it, Gou Yu could not avoid the difficulty that the opponent's combat power far exceeded that of himself and others, and his coordination was extremely skillful!

"Those are those guys in Europe after all! Unlike the lunatics in the association who like to act alone, what they are best at is teamwork with complementary abilities!"

Once again blocking a beam shot from below, Meng Lang saw that the remaining mana value of his standard E-level was in danger. He turned back to confirm the location of Leonidas again, and the three of them ran up the stairs together. When he reached the other floor, he shouted to Gou Yu in a hurry and explained:

"Their speed is obviously beyond their strength, and there is also a defensive method that blocks the apparently mysterious side of my brother's lightning strike. According to the basic configuration of each team in the Royal Court, it must be the person who has not yet shown up who is supporting them both with his abilities!"

Leonidas is responsible for the frontal melee attack, Neil is responsible for the long-range sniper, and Osphia uses abilities to assist and enhance the two people from the rear. The tactics adopted by the European participants are as always complementary in ability and making people feel more confident. It is difficult to find weaknesses and loopholes in collaborative division of labor,

In addition to overpowering the three of them head-on with a force that is far stronger than the three of them, any attack directed at one of them will be interfered and blocked by the other two. In a head-on confrontation, each person will have to face the equivalent of three C-level participants. The cooperation of the two!

"If you want to get rid of them, you must at least find a way to interfere with the guy who is supporting them. Brother, don't you have any way to hit that guy!?"

"Ah... well, although I know what you want to do first, brother, but that's basically impossible."

Holding Tang Dao, he ran to the side and glanced at the floor. Hearing Meng Lang shouting anxiously to him, Fangran scratched his cheek and replied, without saying anything about the answer. His unnerving attitude made Meng Lang stunned. Taking a breath of air-conditioning, I was instantly shocked, almost holding my head and unable to accept it.

"Fuck! Are you kidding me by saying that the assassin can't cut the wet nurse?"

"Um...compared to whether I'm teasing you or not, we should focus on another important issue now."

"what is the problem!?"

"There is no ceiling-open design on this floor. We come in through the only entrance. There is no road ahead."

"Fuck!!"

At this moment, a burly figure stood at the door of the emergency escape stairwell, holding the giant metal claw Leonidas to block the only entrance and exit passage on this floor, and then did not underestimate the enemy just because the opponent was forced into a dead end. Entering rashly alone

He stayed where he was, waiting for the arrival of Neil and Osphia according to the battle plan. He looked at the two figures and nodded calmly:

"They have been forced into their target location."

Different from the three people who dragged two people who had no idea that they were going to participate in the national war before today, they had several different action plans depending on the situation. It can be said that the three Wang Ting people used the power of tactics to the extreme.

"The level above is an observation hall with a spacious glass corridor. They do not have the ability to destroy the wall and there is no other escape route."

The mechanical ring on his arm projected the environmental information from the upper level, Neil said lightly, and then looked at Osphia to remind him.

"Prevent accidents and give us the ability to continue to strengthen our defensive capabilities."

"I see."

From now on, she has been supporting Leonidas and Neil with her abilities, allowing the two who are neither good at speed to keep chasing each other. Osphia takes the greatest credit.

After hearing what Neil said, which was supposed to be the final battle plan, she nodded gently, raised the arcane prayer staff again and prayed silently...

...

"Even if this is the case, I don't want to take the risk and go in alone. It's really safe. Is that the end of it..."

Looking at the empty and spacious floor of the Lanthe Building on the virtual screen, with just a viewing passage leading from here to the glass outer wall of the building, Fangran and the three of them had already retreated to the edge of the building, which is more than ten stories high. The young master sighed with some regret, and then he smiled again and spread his hands:

"But there's nothing we can do about it. There's only one person who can barely be considered a fighter. If he can escape and persist for so long, Fangran is doing his best."

The Alchemist also looked at the three people from the royal court gathered on the virtual screen and sighed helplessly:

"Moreover, the opponent is not simply chasing and attacking. The European official participants are interconnected and form a circle with no weaknesses. This kind of opponent is too reluctant for Xiao Fang."

"Yes, and I know Leonidas's character well. Both he and Neil are the type of people who will never be impulsive. However, although they did not seize any opportunities in a short period of time, for Fangran and the others, This should be a good combat experience."

Su Qun also nodded. Looking at Fang Ran and the other three who had basically declared defeat, Su Qun was not surprised. It would be better to say that everyone had the idea of ​​giving them more combat experience, so they allowed them to abstain instead of originally planning to do so. The C-level battle was decided.

"But it would be too unlucky to meet them all at the beginning."

As a member of the C-level battle in the last national war, Qing Ning looked at this and it was completely different from the last time they carefully spent several days in a simulated city. The battle ended at the speed of light and muttered softly. One sentence.

Su Xing sighed softly and laughed softly, and then he felt relieved and thought that this was not bad. After all, even if he could have the power of an A-level leader, Fang Ran, who was normally only a C-level one, would not be able to defeat someone with tacit cooperation and complementary abilities. Three C-levels,

Although Fangran, who had just recovered, was happy to see his positive changes and the idea of ​​considering himself a member of the Night Bureau, Su Xing still didn't want him to force himself.

Instead of participating in any discussion, he huddled on the sofa at the edge alone. Jotta looked at Fangran who was basically unable to struggle on the virtual screen.

Suddenly, because the other person was as relieved as himself, he let go of his unknown expectations.

...

Lanthol Building, 14th floor.

This entire floor has only one large passage. It is an unused floor with no load-bearing columns behind the glass walls on both sides and is simply used for viewing and displaying some items.

At this moment, the three of them retreated to the edge of direct sunlight. Beyond that, they could see the sky more than ten stories high. Fang Ran, Meng Lang and Gou Yu, who had no way to escape, looked at the entrance of this floor. Wang Ting's Three figures are slowly approaching.

Only then did they really see Neil at close range, who had been blocking them with a beam of light just now. He was a thin young man with technology cluster cannons locked to several people floating around him, and...

The reason why Fang Ran and the other three were caught up so quickly without even having time to breathe was the tall and beautiful Ophia in pure white clothing who was holding an arcane prayer staff!

The two parties stood on both sides of the passage on this floor, and the bright sunlight shined warmly and brightly on the first floor through the sloping glass of the Lanthol Building.

Seeing that the three of them finally stopped running away and stopped at the door to prevent the trap ahead, Leonidas held up the giant metal claw and the strong black man's face behind the sunglasses slowly spoke:

"Although we finally had a chance to chat, we were in the middle of a battle..."

Before he could finish his words, the cluster cannon floating next to Neil suddenly split into a barrel. A beam of light that was different from the one that melted through the ground just now. The slender red ray shot out at a speed that Meng Lang couldn't even react to. And out! !

Gou Yu, who was suddenly attacked first, only had time to open his eyes slightly, the moment his body sensed the crisis!

A crystal with bright blue light appeared in front of him, and directly shattered into a spherical barrier that blocked the attack, covering Gou Yu's entire body. However, while the impact force still existed, it collided with him. The glass wall behind him fell from the fourteenth floor.

"Little or!!!"

Fangran immediately lay down on the railing and looked down at the City of London outside, shouting anxiously and worriedly!

Then the red ray fired again. This time, Meng Lang, who used all the mana the E-level could have, failed to block the opponent, smashed the glass wall and flew out.

"ah!"

Attracted by his voice, Fangran looked at the hole Meng Lang had made and was stunned for a moment, then turned back and continued shouting with his neck thickened:

"Little or!!!"
