Chapter 544: Mechanical Legion Surrounds and Kills Level 8

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone prepare for battle!"

"."

There are mechanical sentinels in each passage leading into the camp, and they discovered the unidentified invaders in advance, which gave all the allied forces time to prepare.

In the temporary command post of the underground river, the assembly order suddenly sounded.

The mechanics in the camp ran out of the tents one after another. They were calm in the face of danger and got into their own mechanical armors in just a few tens of seconds. In an instant, the steam boilers in the huge camp roared, the sound of ammunition loading continued, and hundreds of mechanical armors entered the combat state at the fastest speed.

In the tent, Catalina was originally playing war chess on the sand table. Hearing the sudden horn sound, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes instinctively showed a solemn look.

She knew very well that the enemy was coming.

But in a blink of an eye, looking at Ji Xun who was not in a hurry to put away the classics he was reading, the arc that had just wrinkled between the eyebrows of the Allied General was instantly relaxed.

With this guy here, it seems like there is nothing to worry about.

It has always been like this.

Before they could talk, the messenger outside the tent came running in and reported in a hurry: "Commander-in-Chief!"

Caterina: "Come in."

The messenger entered the tent and reported quickly and clearly: "Sir, an unknown enemy invasion was discovered at the southwest exit. At present, the mechanical sentinels have detected at least two legions of enemies, more than a thousand people. The peripheral automatic mechanical device has already engaged the enemy's vanguard."

Caterina listened calmly and said: "I know."

The messenger looked at the commander-in-chief who did not get up, and reminded him: "Sir, do you want to arrange an evacuation?"

Caterina waved her hand and said calmly: "Notify all combat departments to implement Plan S."

The messenger was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions and took the order and left: "Yes!"

It is normal to encounter enemy raids in war. The command post has a complete emergency plan.

Normally, when encountering an attack, while preparing for battle, the top leaders will leave for safety as soon as possible.

The reason for choosing this underground river is that the passages that extend in all directions will not be completely surrounded. Even if there are masters who really attack the camp, the command center can be guaranteed not to be wiped out.

But this time is different.

This trap was originally prepared to ambush and kill the eighth-level card master of the Simon family, and there must be a battle.

Only a few high-level staff officers knew about the ambush plan, and the others were just executors.

Originally, Catalina was going to go to the shelter, but now that Ji Xun is here, there is no need.

There were only two people in the tent. Catalina stood up and put on her military jacket. She glanced at Ji Xun and said, "I'm going to command the battle."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Well. I'll go with you."

The sound of gunfire and explosions can be heard far away in the cave. At this moment, the sound of fierce fighting can be heard everywhere near the entire command center.

Ji Xun and the others walked out of the tent, and the camp was already busy.

This command center has the most elite mechanical troops of the Allied Forces.

Although it is dazzling to watch the dispatch of personnel and equipment coming and going, everything is in order.

Heavy defense mechanical shields have been erected to form a temporary command post, and the muzzles of countless magic cannons have locked onto the various holes.

Hundreds of mechanical armors have assembled into battle formations, various types of micro-missiles have entered the launch mode, and magic weapons have begun to accumulate energy.

The most eye-catching is the "Hunter God Class Armor" with thirty kinetic boilers that have lit up blue light.

"Hunter God Class" is a power level, and the styles are not exactly the same.

There are firearms armors equipped with heavy missile systems, magic weapon armors specializing in close combat, and different shields for front-row meat shields, which can meet the applicable conditions of various battlefields.

Because this time is to ambush and kill the eighth-level leader of the "Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group", "Poison Scythe" Zuolas.

So all thirty Hunter God armors are fully equipped.

Various heavy mechanical armor pieces are installed on the mechanical body as much as possible.

Although this will greatly reduce their mobility and their endurance will also be reduced by half.

But fortunately, the ability to survive will be greatly enhanced.

Seeing Catalina in a white military uniform walk out, the morale of the camp was immediately boosted.

Catalina walked into the command post with many barriers for defense. More than a dozen senior generals and staff officers were already there.

As soon as they came in, the door was locked.

Everyone saluted Catalina in a solemn military salute: "Commander-in-Chief!"

Catalina returned the salute, "Everyone, sit down!"

Ji Xun took a look and saw that these people had general stars on their shoulders.

These were the highest-ranking staff officers of the Allied Forces.

Originally, this was a command operation that only the top leaders of the Allied Forces participated in, but everyone was not surprised that there was an outsider.

Ji Xun may not know everyone.

But everyone knows him.

These are Catalina's right-hand men and left-hand men. They know very well that the Alliance Army can gain a foothold in the Old Continent so quickly, which has a lot to do with this person.

Whether it is the alliance with the Lun Rebellion Dragon Army or the alliance with the East Wasteland New World Science and Technology City, it is a major shift that affects the life and death of the alliance army.

The important link that cannot be avoided is this person who is the matchmaker.

Ji Xun has no position, so it is difficult for everyone to greet him. Just a few generals who have met him nodded to show their greetings.

Ji Xun didn't care at all. He found a seat for the audience and sat down.

The situation in the entire camp was projected in the imaging crystal.

It looked like the fighting was very fierce.

But several defensive lines were deployed around the camp.

It will take some time for the enemy to break in.

Various battle reports came to the command post immediately, and the staff officers also became busy.

"In Channel 11, a hundred-man army led by a seventh-level card master is rushing to attack the card. The badge is the third branch of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group. The mechanical door has been destroyed and is expected to arrive in five minutes."

"The first line of defense at Gate 8 was breached, and there was a seventh-level fire dragon."

"There is toxin poured into Channel 16, and a drainage plan has been started."

"The mechanical sentry near the secret exit of A3 found signs of life activity, and the investigation team has gone to confirm the situation."

"."

This group of people are all members of the Lionheart family brought from the Eastern Wasteland, and they are also all practical generals who have truly grown up on the battlefield.

They have sufficient experience in the field of military command.

Ji Xun listened on the sidelines, and only then did he fully understand the situation of the entire camp from the command arrangements.

He is not bad in war theory, but he has no actual combat experience in legion command. After listening to it, I feel like I have gained a lot.

What made Ji Xun's eyes shine the most was Catalina.

Most of what the white jade lion showed in front of him was the beautiful "white jade" part, and at this moment, what she showed was the "lion" part.

She stood in front of the projection, as if she were a different person, with an invisible aura of superiority that overshadowed the sharpness of the generals in the room.

Not only her aura, but also her ability to control the overall situation and make decisions, even Ji Xun found it extremely amazing.

Every order she gave was almost always the best choice in Ji Xun's deduction.

Ji Xun knew that others did not have the meticulous logical thinking ability that he did. Catalina was able to do this because of her solid military knowledge and innate talent.

This lion-hearted lady is truly talented in the military field, which few can match.

Military commander Ji Xun couldn't say anything, so he just observed silently.

He had understood the laws of war in Giant Spirit City before, but now he could see something deeper in war.

It was as if the rules were embodied, and the wargames on the chessboard were fighting according to specific rules.

That kind of law, which is like the rules of a game, is the trace of the law of war.

Ji Xun's eyes flashed as he was lost in thought for a moment.

Suddenly, I heard an instruction from Catalina: "Everyone should pay close attention to the movements of "Poison Scythe" Zolas. Their target is our command post and they will definitely appear. The Hunter God Armor Brigade guards all passages."

All the staff members responded in unison, but no one found any trace of the target.

Ji Xun had no intention of taking action.

Mechanical science requires a lot of practice to test. Only after fighting can you know what level of armor can withstand the erosion of the eighth-level law. Accurate data feedback can improve technology.

The Alliance Army also needs a battle like this to test the combat effectiveness of the Mechanical Legion.

But after hearing this order, Ji Xun thought of something and suddenly spoke: "That "Poison Scythe" Zolas has a good reputation in the Southern Continent and is good at conspiracy. He has used many unexpected methods to win the war on the battlefield. I think he may have already arrived. But it won’t appear in a few passages with obvious traps.”

The Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group ranked very high in the mercenary union, and Ji Xun took note of it when he saw it.

Sometimes fame is not always a good thing, at least the foundation is almost exposed.

People in the room all looked over when they heard Ji Xun, who had been silent until now, suddenly speak.

Catalina's eyes flashed with strange color, knowing what he had seen, and asked: "You mean, the enemy will attack in unexpected ways?"

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded.

It's not that the staff didn't expect it, but that they lacked some accurate understanding of the eighth-level card master.

The eighth level is already a "demigod" and has mastered some methods that are beyond the reach of humans.

Although I don’t want to interfere with the battle command, if I prepare in advance, I will avoid many casualties.

Ji Xun did not leave any ink, and directly expressed his thoughts: "He should come down from the ceiling. He is an eighth-level green dragonborn, and the toxins can easily corrode limestone. Although it will consume more magic power, that guy's caution is absolutely Not willing to take risks."

Although on the surface, the eighth-level card master has an overwhelming advantage against the Hunter God Armor, most people will choose to rush in directly.

But those who can advance to the eighth level are those who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Those who are arrogant will be dead long ago.

This "Poison Scythe" Zolas can survive for so long just because he is cunning enough.

Everyone was lost in thought as they listened and found it incredible. After all, the rock formations on the ceiling were hundreds of meters long, and even the strongest bombs at present were difficult to penetrate. Could this be destroyed by human power? If it can't be broken instantly, it will be discovered again, which is completely meaningless.

But Catalina only thought for a moment before decisively giving the order: "Inform the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mechanical Brigades to aim their firepower center at the ceiling, and the 4th Brigade continues to defend the passage."

This order directly changed the direction of most of the defense forces, and the staff officers had different expressions.

After all, once the decision is made incorrectly, the losses caused to them are immeasurable.

But no one hesitated, and everyone accepted the order: "Yes!"

Of course Ji Xun has no prophetic ability, but in the deduction of "I am the world", this is the only result.

Since they were not outsiders, Ji Xun simply said a few more words: "The tactical command of the group of mercenaries is quite good. They used the feint attack on the periphery to drive away the selection. They should have some special perception relics in their hands. A top card master has locked the waters near the camp. Anyone who evacuates from other channels will be targeted at the first time." 　　　　"."

When he spoke, the huge command room was silent.

The generals and staff were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions were all in awe.

Only then did they realize that the person brought by their commander-in-chief had such strong insight and battlefield intuition.

At the same time, they recalled what they had just said in their minds, and they were terrified when they thought about it.

If this was the case, if the command center chose to evacuate at first, wouldn't it be easily beheaded?

Although the plan was to disperse, it was inevitable to avoid heavy losses.

"."

Ji Xun looked at the respectful eyes of the crowd, but he didn't think he was that powerful.

In the final analysis, it was still a blank in cognition.

He had been to the South Continent and read countless books in the Royal Library. He had studied the methods and various relics of the Dragonborn card masters in the South Continent in depth.

It is true that water can cover up most smells, but the fluctuations of water flow, sounds, and the reactions of aquatic creatures are all flaws. The subtle difference between normal flow and people in the water is indistinguishable to ordinary people, but top card masters can easily distinguish them. With the help of some magical relics, the detection distance will be very far.

Listening to Ji Xun's popularization of this knowledge, everyone's expression changed from surprise to respect.

They are all top commanders, and they immediately saw the terrifying control of the overall situation in this suggestion.

They realized that the commander-in-chief brought this person to the command post, maybe not just to listen.

But he really has a special ability.

Catalina looked at the generals looking at her and her eyes were inexplicably burning, and she knew that they had misunderstood.

After all, she herself didn't know that Ji Xun had such outstanding insights in war command.

But it's hard to say what now.

She could only look at Ji Xun, and a hint of anger flashed across her crystal eyes that others could not see: You guy, why didn't you say it earlier.

Ji Xun understood this look and smiled without saying anything.

It's not that he didn't say it earlier, but his brain just collected and summarized all the information, and then analyzed this result.

But just as she was thinking, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the rock layer above the camp broke apart.

A large hole with a diameter of tens of meters appeared.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

It was just a tactical speculation before, but now the facts were playing out before their eyes, and the value of Ji Xun's words just now instantly rose.

The mechanics in charge of the battle didn't understand why the command issued a strange order, but they were all elite, and they only had to execute it.

It was precisely because of the tactical arrangements made in advance that they avoided being caught off guard by the enemy.

The ceiling suddenly exploded, and although the mechanics were surprised, they were not confused.

Almost at the moment when the big hole appeared, hundreds of artillery fired at the huge monster that was about to fly out of the hole.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"."

It was really killed in seconds.

Before the group of dragon mercenaries in the cave could figure out what was happening, they were bombarded with artillery fire.

However, in the smoke and fire, a giant that looked like a reddish-brown viper and had a pair of huge dragon wings flew down aggressively with artillery fire.

Ji Xun recognized this guy at a glance. It was the eighth-level "poison sickle" Zuo Lasi they were waiting for!

The moment this monster flew into the sky above the camp, countless artillery locked on him and fired at him.

"Crackle" only heard the crisp sound of a nail hitting a steel plate.

Almost all the magic artillery and magic-breaking crossbow arrows left only shallow marks on the hard scales, and did not cause any damage to the strange dragon.

Instead, the strange dragon roared loudly, and a terrifying hurricane blew up in the camp.

An invisible pressure swept across the camp in an instant, and the mechanics wearing low-level mechanical armor were instantly shocked on the spot, almost completely losing their ability to move.

In the command room, Catalina and the staff looked extremely serious.

It was the first time they saw such an exaggerated dragon power.

Although it was blocked by the defense barrier of the command post, the instrument showed the horror of the dragon power.

A staff looked at the dashboard and reported: "Commander-in-chief, the dragon power level has reached level 16, which is ten times that of several level 7 dragon samples detected before."

Everyone looked serious.

This level is enough to make the unprotected warriors mentally collapse on the spot.

Even some primary mechas are afraid that they can't hold on.

They also witnessed the horror of the eighth-level dragon card master for the first time. The combat power of just one person paralyzed most of the entire camp.

Fortunately, there are many unmanned automatic mechanical devices in the camp, which are not affected by the dragon power.

Moreover, the helmets of the thirty God Hunter armors and some advanced armors all have mind alloys, which exempts them from most mental attacks.

In the entire command room, only Ji Xun looked relaxed.

Because he had not only seen the eighth-level dragonborn, but also killed them.

Instead, he felt that the interesting thing was those black technology instruments. Dragon power could actually be rated like energy?

It seems that the Allies also discovered a lot of interesting ancient technologies in the Old World.

The elite of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group followed their leader from the ceiling and was hit on the head with a heavy hammer.

They originally thought that since their leader had been unstoppable, they would just follow behind to clean up the battlefield and chase the fleeing soldiers.

They had used this tactic many times, and each time they won a great victory.

Unexpectedly, a sudden artillery fire directly made the mercenaries run away with their heads in their hands.

The artillery ammunition was high-end stuff prepared for them. Low-level card masters died on the spot, and even the sixth-level card masters were seriously injured on the spot.

"Poison Scythe" Zuolas looked at his members who had suffered heavy casualties, and was furious and confused at the same time: How could these guys react so quickly?

It was not a temporary reaction at all, but they had long expected that they would come down from the ceiling, and then they opened fire at the first time.

After figuring this out, Zuo La Si's face darkened. After all, he was an old mercenary who had been through many battles. He did not turn back to take care of his subordinates. Instead, he opened his mouth and spit out a breath of dragon's breath towards the place where the mechanical armor was most densely packed in the camp.

"Hua La La"

"Hua La La"

"."

Countless green viscous venom flowed down like rain.

The poisonous dragon breath of the eighth-level card master was so corrosive that the steel frames in the camp instantly melted on the spot like candles baked by flames.

Zuo La Si personally went out this time to be hired by Duke Simon to completely deal with these elite natives of the East Wilderness.

After all, they already knew that there was a kind of "Hunter God Armor" in the East Wilderness that could threaten the seventh-level card master.

These things must be dealt with.

And intelligence shows that this native command has a lot of that kind of armor.

When Zuo La Si came in before, he looked at the hundreds of mechanical armors in the camp in front of him, and he secretly thought that it was fortunate that he came.

Otherwise, if he just sent his subordinates to come, I'm afraid they would all be defeated here.

I thought that a breath of dragon breath would eliminate some of them, and a few breaths of dragon breath would completely resolve the battle.

However, he never expected that things would not develop as he thought.

"Poison Scythe" Zuolas sprayed a breath of dragon breath, which indeed corroded many steel defense offensives in the camp.

However, the hundreds of armors raised their shields together, forming a huge joint defense formation like a turtle shell.

Normally, if he, an eighth-level dragon, took a full breath of dragon breath, the seventh-level defense barrier would not last long and would be corroded.

Not to mention the mechanical shield.

Although he did not understand mechanical technology, the principles of mechanical and magic equipment were the same. The more advanced the magic equipment, the higher the manufacturing cost.

He did not believe that hundreds of mechanical armors were all top-level enchantments. Such a luxury legion was rare even for the three royal elites of Nan Dalu.

However, it was because it was impossible that he was shocked.

These mechanical shields actually blocked it?

What's even more weird is that the mechanical shields have not been corroded much!

Zuolas couldn't figure it out, but the staff of the Alliance Army breathed a sigh of relief.

The poisonous dragon breath is indeed very powerful, but it is not completely unsolvable.

There is also a very complete theory to solve the toxin. Acidic toxins are neutralized with alkaline, and fire toxins are neutralized with water elements, and vice versa.

The information about "Poison Scythe" Zuolas has been written into a booklet by Ji Xun. Now the senior leaders of the Allied Forces have a copy. How could they not be prepared?

Moreover, even if the mechanical shield cannot block it at the level of the law, then make it thicker!

Machines are different from humans. Strength has always been the biggest advantage of machines.

Heavy shields have now become the strongest defense of mechanical armor.

The dragon's breath did not cause much damage. In a blink of an eye, the armor under the shield raised the muzzle in unison, aiming at the flying dragon in the sky and emitting a dazzling blue light.

"Boom boom", another round of artillery fire was deafening.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage.

In the command room, the generals were extremely nervous.

Facing the eighth-level dragon card master for the first time, no one was sure.

Seeing the mechanical armor withstanding the first round of dragon breath, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Only those who can hold on are qualified to fight on.

And they were also thankful, thanks to the detailed intelligence that came from nowhere two days ago.

Even Katarina felt very emotional.

If there was no information provided by Ji Xun, it would have been a tragic battle with both sides losing even if they won according to the original plan.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the most indifferent guy in the entire command room, and a gentle smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
