Chapter 575 Mysterious Attacker
A dozen days later.
The sound of artillery continued almost day and night.
In the extraordinary world, both mechas and spell cards are expensive, and artillery is almost the lowest-cost long-range attack method.
The two sides bombarded each other across the large plain in front of the Hell Gate Canyon for ten days and ten nights.
The Orlan Royal Court used the human wave tactics that were not afraid of casualties, which also made the war extremely tragic.
There was already a sea of blood and corpses in front of the Jilan defense line. Every day, a large number of cannon fodder turned into cold corpses on the battlefield. Under the reflection of blood, even the moon in the sky turned into a strange scarlet.
With such a fierce offensive, the situation on the coalition side was not optimistic.
Even though the coalition side had many black technologies supported by the new world, it was limited after all.
Now the Orlan Royal Court ruled the entire East Wilderness, and the resources were almost unlimited.
In the past few years, in order to resist the invasion of the South Continent, the production capacity of various war workshops in the East Wilderness has long been full.
As time went by, the troops, ammunition, armor, and mechanical city in the rear of Orlan were also sent to the front line, and the battle situation became more and more tense.
"Command, the enemy corps has attacked below the defense line! The 101 and 109 turret positions have encountered concentrated attacks, requesting reinforcements!"
"Received!"
"The 7th and 9th mechanical brigades are ready to reinforce and clear the defense line. We must not let them destroy the bunkers."
"Yes!"
"Command, urgent information! It has been confirmed that the siege is the Orlan Second Royal Guard Mechanical Corps. There are a large number of hunter armor and top card masters in the enemy. Request support."
"General Dong, please lead the New World's First Mechanical Corps to support the 109 position!"
"Okay!"
"."
In the belly of the Jilan defense line, area 710.
Dong Qi is filling ammunition and maintaining her Titan armor in the mechanical workshop.
The communicator plays the command dialogue of the commander channel.
During this period of time, Dong Qi has almost lived in the mechanical workshop, busy with battles and mechanical modifications every day.
Ji Xun, a non-staff member, was free and unfettered, so he just stayed in the workshop with Miss Qiqi.
The offensive of the Orlan royal family was getting more and more fierce, and the elite army had already joined the battle. The two sides had fought many times close to the defense line.
The commander's channel was not good news.
While Ji Xun was studying the "Seven Deadly Sins" secret method he had just obtained, he was also listening to the battle reports.
One by one, the information gathered in his mind, and he unconsciously sorted and deduced it, turning it into a series of specific battle scenes.
Hearing the order in the communicator, Dong Qi quickly put on the heavy protective suit and stepped into the cockpit of the Titan armor. At the same time, she greeted Ji Xun: "I'll go there."
"Yeah. Be careful."
Ji Xun nodded.
This was the third time Dong Qi had fought in the past two days.
The enemy's elite army needed elites to deal with it. The coalition had no numerical advantage, and Miss Qiqi, the first mechanical warrior of the coalition, often needed to put out fires.
She also needed actual combat to test the various equipment and practicality of her mecha.
The intensity of this small-scale conflict is just right.
It must be said that in this kind of large-scale and protracted war, the mechanical army has a huge advantage over human flesh and blood.
As long as there is enough ammunition and energy, the mechanics can fight for a long time and frequently without getting tired.
Dong Qi's Titan armor is particularly obvious. Low-level card masters can hardly break the defense. Only card masters above level 7 can cause certain damage to the paint at the law level.
But the [Golden Ball of Power Gem] used in her armor has almost unlimited energy, which also makes her like a mechanical war god on the battlefield, invincible.
In just a few days, she killed no less than ten enemy hunter god armors and hundreds of ordinary armors.
For card masters, it is almost impossible to maintain combat effectiveness for a long time in such a strong confrontation.
With the intensity of Dong Qi's battles, if an eighth-level card master went, he would have died countless times.
After all, the battlefield is just below the defense line, and the top masters of the coalition can go to support at any time. Consumption is a fact, but danger is not a big deal.
Ji Xun is not worried about problems.
Dong Qi drove the Titan Armor out of the workshop, and the monitor on the table showed her first-person perspective in real time.
Ji Xun was still meditating and practicing in his position, occasionally looking at the battle situation ahead, and the two of them could chat for a few words when they had time.
A few minutes later, the perspective of the monitor had already appeared on the battlefield.
Dong Qi was as majestic as ever, driving the Titan Armor to clean up the enemy mechanical warriors who were climbing the rock wall to destroy the turret like cutting melons and vegetables.
Originally, this was a normal position attack and defense battle.
It seemed that the enemy's battle this time would not have much impact on the Jilan defense line except for leaving some corpses.
But looking at the picture, I don't know what he thought of. Ji Xun suddenly stood up and said to himself: "Forget it, it's better to go and take a look."
Some things cannot be analyzed accurately only from the picture.
You need to actually go to the battlefield to perceive some mysterious existence in the dark, so as to judge the situation more accurately.
And at his current level, any idea he has is not a whim, but a feedback from some crisis perception.
Ji Xun never relies on luck.
With that thought, he took a step forward, stepped into the space crack, and appeared at the front line of the battlefield.
Ji Xun has been replaying the conversation with the light chaser Jia Yu these days.
If it is just the current situation of the Orlan Royal Court, the coalition forces will have a hard time fighting, but it is hard to say who will win or lose.
The Orlan Royal Court is too bloated, and if it continues to fight for a long time, the probability of collapse is very high.
So according to the current rhythm, Ji Xun thinks that the coalition forces may not win, but it is more likely to delay.
But once it involves the "mysterious existence" hidden in the broken history that caused the collapse of Taren, Ji Xun feels that this war has become confusing.
He never takes chances.
Therefore, he has been deducing what the subsequent battle situation should be like if a mysterious force is involved.
When a group of ants fight, no matter whether they win or lose, the high-dimensional existence watching usually does not intervene. Unless one of the ants is strong enough to threaten the high-dimensional existence.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Da, da, da, da"
The sound of bridge artillery is dense like rain.
Ji Xun appeared on the battlefield.
There was a thick fog in front of him, and visibility was not high.
But the light and shadow of the giant cannon spewing flames were still clearly visible.
A hundred meters below, a fierce battle was going on on the ground. There were tall mechanical armors.
Bullets from both sides shot through the air, some of which passed right in front of Ji Xun.
There were also spider-like mechanical warriors on the rock wall fighting for life and death.
The people of the Orlan royal family wanted to destroy the artillery positions on the rock wall, while the coalition forces were defending.
Ji Xun was hidden in the mist, and no one noticed him.
He looked at the fierce battle in front of him, frowned slightly, and murmured: "The law of that 'element king' has become so strong."
The mist that can be seen in the picture, after coming out to experience it personally, I realized that the situation is worse than what I saw.
The mist in the air is the means of the Seven Lords of the Calamity, 'Element King Lagros'.
The wet air seems to have little effect except covering the vision, but the ten days of the war have actually caused great losses.
Ji Xun broke a piece of rock on the rock wall with his hand, and it turned into powder with a simple crush.
The rock body has been severely corroded.
Moreover, a closer look revealed that the coating of the gun barrel had been corroded to the point of rust.
Just like the rainy days make humans feel uncomfortable, the erosion of the water element law is pervasive and constantly destroys the entire Jilan defense line.
But so far, nothing has surprised him.
Not far away, Dong Qi was killing people everywhere. The blue light of the Titan Armor's iconic [Magic City Slashing Sword] was particularly conspicuous in the thick fog.
The Titan Armor is almost invincible on the battlefield. The heavy armor not only makes the physical and demonic defense reach the extreme, but also has extremely high defense capabilities even for mysterious means such as curses.
In other words, unless the enemy uses the same Titan Armor or a top master, it is basically impossible for her to meet an opponent.
However, it is obviously not the time yet.
The Oran Royal Court has not yet accumulated enough power to break through the defense line.
Ji Xun just watched silently, his eyes empty, and had already entered the kind of almost absolute rational deduction.
He watched for more than half an hour.
Nothing was found.
But Ji Xun always felt that there seemed to be a mysterious gaze watching this battlefield.
As time went by, the participation of the New World's First Mechanical Corps led by Dong Qi repelled another attack of the enemy as expected.
The battle was about to end.
However, suddenly, Ji Xun's eyes were stern, and he found something, and hurriedly shouted: "Qiqi, be careful!"
Dong Qi, who was fighting fiercely in the distance, heard Ji Xun's reminder in the communicator. Although she didn't understand what happened, the tacit understanding between the two made her have no hesitation at all. She pressed the emergency defense button and instantly raised the armor energy shield to the extreme.
Almost at this moment, with a loud "bang", the Titan armor controlled by Dong Qi seemed to be pulled by a terrifying force, and fell to the ground with a bang, smashing a huge hole in the ground.
"Sure enough!"
Ji Xun's eyes were stern.
Someone wanted to ambush Dong Qi!
And what surprised Ji Xun was that the enemy's speed of attack was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.
Not only did the vision fog up, but more importantly, the enemy's "qi" was not sensed!
On the contrary, the moment his aura was exposed, the needle-like murderous feeling disappeared instantly.
Ji Xun searched with his eyes, trying to catch the enemy who attacked.
But it was obvious that he had slipped away.
Seeing this, although Ji Xun did not catch the enemy, he thought of something in his heart: "Such a strong perception ability is definitely not something that ordinary humans can achieve. Is it divine power?"
He himself practiced the "My Heart is the Universe" secret cultivation method of Emperor Lanlingster, which can temper divine power.
And divine power is the strongest crisis perception ability.
The enemy hiding in the dark just now can have such an alert perception ability, and Ji Xun feels that the strength of divine power is even higher than his own!
In an instant, Ji Xun's target in his mind quickly narrowed down.
There are indeed many strong people with such strength in the Southern Continent.
But there are not many in the Eastern Wilderness.
"Could it be those three outer gods? No. Even if they come, they will not dare to show up."
Ji Xun's face was full of a solemn expression of deep thought.
If Dong Qi, the "first mechanic", had an accident, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the entire coalition.
The enemy seemed to be only here to behead people, and had no intention of exposing themselves to a decisive battle, so they ran away as soon as they found themselves being targeted.
That is to say, that guy still has the strength to move forward and backward freely in front of the coalition forces.
Ji Xun searched all the information in his mind and did not find any target that could match it.
At this time, Dong Qi also responded immediately: "I'm fine."
Ji Xun responded: "Yeah."
Coincidentally, at this time, a large-scale cluster of mechanical roars suddenly appeared on the other side of the canyon.
The communicator came with a notice from the headquarters: "Commander Carter of the Alliance Army is here to reinforce!"
This wave of new mechanical legions joined the battlefield and instantly repelled the enemy's attack.
Since the people of the Oran Royal Court are preparing for a decisive battle, they are certainly not completely unprepared.
The Alliance Army, which has established a foothold in the Old Continent, is the most important opponent that the Oran side must contain.
The main force of the Alliance Army is the Lionheart Family, the first warlord of the Federation. Let alone the top combat power, if we really talk about military strength, the Oran Royal Court really can't do anything to the Alliance Army.
So King Arthur sold the relevant information about the Alliance Army to the lords of the Southern Continent, hoping to contain it.
Now the Alliance Army is also being besieged everywhere in the Old World, and Catalina is in command there.
She didn't come from the Old World until today.
She also brought tens of thousands of elite mechanical warriors.
With Catalina's arrival, the top leaders of the Alliance held another emergency meeting.
But Ji Xun and Dong Qi didn't attend.
In the 710 workshop.
The two looked at the Titan Armor with a sunken armor plate on the back of the Titan Armor in front of them and fell into deep thought.
You know, Dong Qi has participated in many high-intensity battles with the Titan Armor, but the biggest damage is mostly the coating layer being melted by artillery fire.
This is the first time that the body of the Titan Armor has been deformed by an attack.
Although it's not a big deal, you have to know that the alloy armor on the back of the Titan Armor is the hardest plate armor in the entire armor, enough to withstand the head-on collision of an adult dragon, but it was sunken by external force?
And if Ji Xun hadn't reminded it before, it might not be as simple as a sunken plate.
"That shock wave ignored the gravity field around my armor and hit the armor's protective plate directly."
"Did the life instrument capture the target's data?"
"It sensed it, but the target was too fast and disappeared in a flash. The data also seemed to be interfered with, all garbled. I will fix it later and see if I can get some useful data."
"Yes."
"."
Ji Xun carefully asked some details. Although Dong Qi and the armor's sensing instruments did not capture the assassin.
But he got a very critical information from it.
The most important magic shield of the Titan armor is the "energy black shield" driven by gravity created by the [Power Gem Gold Ball]. It is essentially a special distorted space.
This is an energy shield that can defend against almost all elements and physical means, and it is almost impossible to be restrained.
However, according to Dong Qi's description just now, the enemy completely ignored the obstruction of the black shield and hit the mecha directly.
Others may not understand.
But Ji Xun knows why!
Because he can do it himself!
He is proficient in the magic secret method of "Inducing the Fall of the Gods", so he can ignore the distorted space to a certain extent.
However, the black shield law on the Titan armor is at a very high level, and even Ji Xun cannot completely ignore it now.
In other words, the enemy's understanding of "gravity" is still higher than Ji Xun.
Combined with the previous situations, Ji Xun only thought of one possibility.
That is the one that Jia Yu is still keeping secret.
"Can the one who appears only after the Seven Lords of the Calamity are revived? So that's it"
Ji Xun muttered in his heart.
But this cannot be said, and even the speculation cannot be mentioned.
Before there is no ability to calmly deal with those uncertain situations, it is the safest choice to make "the one who" feel that He is still unknown.
Seeing Ji Xun fall into deep thought, Dong Qi asked: "What did you think of?"
Ji Xun glanced at her, "Nothing."
Dong Qi's crystal eyes were slightly startled when she heard it, but she didn't ask more: "Oh."
The tacit understanding between the two of them, she knew that Ji Xun must have thought of something, but since he didn't say it, she wouldn't ask.
When she was with Ji Xun, Miss Qiqi always liked to be lazy when it came to questions that required her to think hard. "Then you take your time to think about it. I'm going to repair the armor."
Turning around, she went to fix the armor.
Ji Xun looked at Xiaoxiao, his eyes fixed on the sunken protective plate, but his thoughts were racing.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Just as he was thinking, the door of the mechanical cabin was knocked, and a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Is Qiqi there?"
Dong Qi heard it and said with a happy face, "It's Miss Carter!"
She quickly took off her greasy gloves and ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Catalina, with a waterfall of blonde hair, smiling at them.
The Lionheart lady knew that there were two people in the room, but she pretended to have just noticed and said with a smile: "Oh, Ji Xun is here too."
As she said that, she looked at Dong Qi with a playful look in her eyes, "Did I disturb you?"
Dong Qi's personality was not one to be embarrassed by such teasing. Even if she was caught, she would never change her expression.
She chuckled, "Of course not. But it's good that you're here."
As she said that, she invited people into the room.
The three of them were already very familiar with each other, and Catalina didn't think of herself as a guest at all.
She walked directly to the sofa.
Ji Xun also stretched out his hands and gave this old friend who hadn't seen him for a while a warm hug: "Long time no see. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Catalina's pretty face lost the majesty of the Allied Commander-in-Chief in front of outsiders, and only had a gentle smile, "I encountered a little trouble. But overall it was smooth."
After all, the three of them had slept in the same bed and had seen all kinds of scenes. Dong Qi's attitude towards Catalina was not surprising. She said loudly: "Miss Carter, you guys chat first. There is something wrong with my mecha. I will fix it first."
Catalina didn't feel embarrassed and said: "It just so happens that I brought a lot of Titan accessories produced by the workshop this time. See if you can use them."
Ji Xun had previously grabbed the production line and drawings of the Titan armor, and the New World was also working overtime to produce it.
Although the finished Titan armor has not yet been produced, because it is known that the front line needs it, a batch of accessories and consumables required for the battle have been produced.
Dong Qi was also delighted when he heard this, "Ah?"
It happened that the mechanical transmission belt started to move at this time, and several large mechanical boxes came down from the upstairs.
Dong Qi walked up and opened the box. He was surprised to see: "Haha, this time I don't have to worry about not being able to resupply the parts. Miss Carter really brought me a big surprise."
As he said, he threw an intimate kiss.
"Yeah."
Katarina smiled slightly.
Ji Xun saw the fatigue on her pretty face. She had not rested after rushing all the way, so he asked her to sit down, "Did you encounter an attack on the road?"
Katarina sat next to Ji Xun and nodded: "Yeah. The people of the Orlan Royal Court got the information from somewhere and sent a team of elite soldiers to intercept. But it's not a big problem, it's all solved."
Now the main forces of both sides are tied down in the Hell Gate Canyon, but other places are not quiet, and various small-scale infiltrations and exchanges of fire have occurred frequently.
Ji Xun was not surprised to hear this.
But when he heard the news, he thought of something else in his mind: the Silver Moon Sect also took the bait.
Then, Catalina said, "I just talked with Miss Chujiu and the others. The situation here doesn't seem optimistic. Fortunately, I didn't come too late."
Ji Xun also said, "Well. The Orlan Royal Court has sacrificed nearly a million people during this period, and the power of several foreign gods has almost been accumulated. There should be a big move soon."
"."
Katalina's expression was slightly serious when she heard this.
However, she knew that Ji Xun's outstanding ability to control the overall situation did not need to be said.
There was no need to repeat the content of the meeting just now.
Turning her head, she looked at Ji Xun, and the solemnity in her eyes dissipated. Her eyes were shining, and she smiled and said, "We have talked enough about serious things just now. Let's talk about something relaxing?"
Ji Xun raised his eyes to look at the beautiful face: "Oh? For example?"
Katalina asked directly: "For example. Did you miss me?"
Without outsiders present, this young lady of the Lionheart family would not be reserved.
Ji Xun smiled and put his arm around her waist, his hand was not polite: "Of course."
Katerina didn't feel bad, after a long time of separation, this kind of intimate contact would make people very happy, and said: "Miss Alice sent some [Dragon Root Wine], I also brought it to you."
As he said, he seemed to sense that Ji Xun was in good condition, and teased: "But it seems that Miss Qiqi takes good care of you. Your deformed condition is better than expected."
Ji Xun didn't say anything, just smiled and said nothing.
However, Dong Qi, who was enjoying the joy of unpacking not far away, heard this, tilted his head and looked at the two of them, smiled and took the time to reply: "It's not just my credit. Miss Nan also helped a lot. Hahaha"
Katrina listened to the corners of her eyebrows with a hint of teasing, and soon chuckled: "I said. Miss Nan is really beautiful and kind to you. You must be very happy to get along with her."
But although she said others, she was not shy. She turned over and sat in Ji Xun's arms, teasing intimately: "Right, Mr. Ji Xun?"
Ji Xun hugged this white jade lion-like girl, and his fingertips gently touched a strand of hair on her temples, and chuckled: "Yes. And Qiqi, and the beautiful Miss Carter."
