Volume 20, Chapter 176: Urgent
When I first met Kristina, she already had the title of the No. 1 Fortress in Europe. It can be seen how powerful Kristina's attack method is. Later, she joined our Frost Rose Alliance and has various resources. With support, this characteristic has only improved, and now it has finally been promoted to the honorary title of the world's best fort. 【*】
Naturally, the fort cannot have only one cannon. Although Kristina is alone, what she is best at is not super single-target attack magic. If that is the case, then her title should be the number one humanoid self-propelled cannon in Europe. Rather than the first fort in Europe. Even if Kristina is a humanoid self-propelled cannon, it is a multiple rocket launcher, not a traditional artillery, because she fires bursts of fire.
As Kristina, who is best at group attacks, her magic attacks are originally based on intensive bombing of a large number of small magics. Now that an acceleration field suddenly appears, you can imagine what it is like. I saw the magic circle in the sky spinning like a wheel. At the same time, a large number of dense magic missiles came down like a heavy rain. Before the people on the opposite side could realize what was going on, they were completely submerged in the flames. . The rotating magic circle is like a multi-barreled short-range defense artillery installed on a battleship, except that the rapid-fire cannon only shoots out metal bullets with concentrated power, but Kristina's magic circle shoots out all bullets with a diameter of seven meters. Eighty-centimeter magic bullets, and the power of each of these magic bullets is at least equivalent to a bundle of cluster grenades. That is a powerful, absolute killing blow. Within a five-meter radius of the impact point, you will either die or be injured. Within a three-meter radius, you won't even be able to find a whole corpse, let alone a direct hit. You can't confirm whether anyone was standing there before. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that the distribution of Kristina's magic missiles is approximately one per five square meters. In other words, it is actually impossible for anyone within the entire strike range to hide within five meters of the magic missile's impact point. Meters away, or even three meters away, didn't count. Therefore, the battlefield became a hell's kitchen, with broken limbs and meat everywhere, and not even a complete part could be found.
Seeing Kristina pushing forward like a bomber, Jin Coin pinched her Qiankun bag from behind and said with a smile: "Hey, we can save the repair cost this time."
Although the sword formation of the gold coin is extremely powerful, and its group killing ability is not far behind that of Kristina, it is not good at all. Too expensive. Think about it, her sword formation can cause thousands of swords to fly at every turn, and the weapons in the game are durable. The swords in her sword formation are real equipment, and they are not transformed things, so when they are used The durability will also be lost, and if the durability is lost, it must be repaired. However, it costs money to repair the weapon. Even if our Frost Rose Alliance's own blacksmith shop can offer a discount, it does not mean that it is free. Of course, no one cares about the small amount of money to repair one or two weapons, but this time to repair tens of thousands of swords, no matter how rich people are, their hands will shake. What's more, in order to assemble so many swords in the sword array, the amount of money spent on gold coins is already quite large. Therefore, even with her money-grubbing personality, the current disposable funds of gold coins are still at the bottom of the guild. If it weren't for the fact that the set of national weapons she was wearing was indestructible and didn't need to be replaced, which saved her a lot of money, I guess the gold coins would have been insolvent long ago. However, even if those things don't cost money, the current gold coins still implement her fighting principle of saving what she can. She won't use the sword formation if she can't do it. If she can do things with one sword, she will never use a second sword. Although this will sometimes reduce combat effectiveness, it can indeed save money, so gold coins still insist on doing this.
Kristina's ultimate move almost knocked out all the enemies within a radius of one kilometer. As soon as the gold coins were no longer needed, she immediately put away the Qiankun bag with confidence. She didn't need to use the sword formation and could save a lot of money. .
After clearing the nearby enemies, Kristina did not land immediately. Instead, she withdrew the time domain first, and then began to vibrate her pair of huge crystal butterfly wings. A large area of crystal powder began to erupt from those beautiful wings. It fell off, and then flew into the jungle ahead with a gust of breeze. Then we saw screams coming one after another from the forest ahead, and from time to time we could see sudden leaps from certain locations. A huge fireball erupted, along with dead bodies on the ground.
In fact, this crystal powder is also one of Kristina's skills, and this thing is not as beautiful as it looks. Strictly speaking, these crystal powders should be considered a toxin, but their function is not to harm the human body, but to create magic disorder. Basically, there will be no change if the warriors inhale this thing. After all, although the warriors also have blue bars, the skills they use are not called magic, so it will be fine. However, it would be bad luck if the mage inhaled this stuff. First of all, the mage will find that his magic output becomes unstable. When he uses magic, he will find that the magic output he outputs fluctuates, and then collapses directly, because when the magic power is unstable, he cannot maintain a magic and continue to cast it. In other words, this kind of crystal powder actually already has the magic-sealing effect, but it's just special. Moreover, this is only the result of inhaling a small amount of crystal powder. If you inhale too much, congratulations, your magic power will be sublimated soon. They no longer need the command of the master and will naturally communicate with the elements outside the body and then release energy. The final result is to directly burn the mage into a pile of coke from the inside out, and the more powerful the mage is, the more unlucky he is.
This skill sounds awesome, but in fact the effect is not as exaggerated as it seems. The reason why so many people here have been tricked is mainly because they have been frightened by Kristina's previous magic bombing. When your courage is gone, all you can do is run away, and naturally you can’t think of a way to fight. In fact, for those who understand this skill, this skill is not a problem at all. First of all, this skill itself is useless for other professions except mages. Secondly, this kind of crystal powder enters the body through the respiratory tract, which means wearing a mask or a helmet with air enchantment can solve the problem. Of course, mages usually wear headdresses and crowns instead of helmets, so most people can no longer think of this issue immediately, and now they are panicked and naturally don't go back to think about it.
Because she was so frightened, Kristina's flawed skill actually played a huge role. Not only did she burn many mages to death, but she also directly showed the enemy's escape route. After all, these burning mages are all running in the same direction. After passing this row of torches, everyone knows that the enemy's retreat direction is ahead.
Seeing that the enemy was repulsed, we immediately pursued them. But while I was chasing them, I was still thinking about where these people came from.
The group of experts who intercepted us in the cave just now were obviously players. Although the archers who intercepted us when we came out were all NPCs, the commanders standing next to the cannons were players, and all of them were protected by the system. I can't see their faces, and I can't read their data. All the parts about them in the displayed data are question marks, and their faces, even if I get closer, I can only see a rough outline. It's as if these people's faces are covered with a layer of frosted glass masks. You can see their facial features but can't see their specific faces at all. Even if you encounter them in the future, you won't be able to recognize them.
Of course, if I really want to find these people, I won't be able to find them. The protection of the system obviously does not want us to recognize these people, but the things about them that can identify them are not just their appearance and the names in the system attributes. Equipment, skills, and combat habits, these things cannot be hidden by the system. As long as I am willing to make great efforts to find them, these people will be able to uncover them for me sooner or later. After all, they are a guild, not individual free players, so as long as I find one of them, the other party will basically be exposed.
However, even though I said that, I didn't plan to go to any trouble to find these people, because it was pointless. Revenge against them has no practical value to us at all, and these people are probably just taking over system tasks, and they may not be targeting us intentionally. It can only be said that everyone is doing their tasks, but our tasks are in conflict. If you don't show humility during the task, I don't want to pursue it afterwards. This is the simplest way to deal with it. Of course, if one day I find out that these people came here deliberately to cause trouble for us, then I will definitely not let them go. If you do no evil unintentionally, you will not be punished even if you do evil; if you do evil intentionally, you will be punished if you do evil.
The reason why I just judged that these people only did this because they received system tasks is actually well-founded. Because their behavior was obviously well prepared. If these people came to our Frost Rose Alliance on purpose, then it is impossible for them to know what our system mission is, and naturally they would not be able to set up battle formations and everything here to confront us. After all, if they don't know the mission, they can't possibly know that we are going to pass here, let alone setting up an ambush in advance. However, now they have not only prepared experts to block us, but they have also set up an arrow formation and artillery position with tens of thousands of people. This preparation time alone will take at least one day, so we estimate that they may have known this when we first entered the mission. The message is beginning to prepare to intercept us, and the only way to know that we are going to get through this before we even know what the next task is is to inform the system. Therefore, I guess these people simply accepted a task related to us, and the reward is definitely not small, otherwise they would not dare to risk going against our guild. You must know that our Frost Rose Alliance is no longer the unknown small guild before. The current Frost Rose Alliance is also a world-class large-scale guild. In addition, our guild has so many high-end weapons. As long as anyone with a right mind can They won’t want to make enemies with us for no reason, so these people must have been tempted, or they have had enemies with us before, otherwise they would not be able to accept this kind of mission. Of course, this system protection that masks their appearance and information must be one of the reasons why they have the courage to take on the mission. After all, it is not easy to find them with this kind of protection.
No matter why these people took this mission, we will never let them complete the mission anyway, because if they complete the mission, our mission will not be 100% completed. We don’t want to end up wasting so much effort. To get a passing rating or something like that would be a bit of a loss.
We didn't pay much attention to the defeated enemies at all. After Kristina burned those mages, we summoned birds to ride on them and directly surpassed these people and flew in front of them. That was our target, even if Killing all these people is of no use to our mission.
We were restricted underground before, but now that we are out, our speed advantage is immediately apparent due to the vast sky. Although we were blocked by those experts and arrow formations for a while, the people who escaped before were only ordinary mounts, and they were no match for the spears in terms of speed. We had only been flying for ten minutes before we caught up with the fleeing guys.
I have to say that these people really thought of everything. After catching up, we immediately relied on the advantage of force to kill one of them, but the remaining three people didn't even bother to head down and just kept running, but this only bought them a few more seconds. Kristina went up with a big fireball and knocked all the remaining three to the ground. Then Zhenhong went over and pulled them off the hoods on their heads and the masks on their faces. After a look, they immediately jumped up.
"Oops, I was fooled!"
Since the other party asked the system to conceal their identity, it means that they knew that the opponent was us when they took the mission. Therefore, even with all the preparations, they still felt uneasy. After all, the lineup sent by our guild this time was too gorgeous. Even if Matsumoto Masaga and August Kaoru, the four top players in the industry who were arranged to go to Japan to become national idols, are not included, looking at the list you can still count several top players on the combat power list that are familiar to players, especially It’s the four of us present now except Matsumoto Masaga. I am the number one in the combat power list plus Kristina, Gold Coin, and True Red. With such a luxurious lineup, it is no wonder that the other party is not confident.
However, the opponent's mission is obviously not to kill us. According to our guess, there should be only two possibilities for the opponent's mission. The first is to snatch the magic core and run away with it. As long as the mission time is delayed and we can't get it, they will win. Second, as long as they reach a certain place with the magic core, or go beyond a certain range, they will win.
If it is the first type, the difficulty of our task is relatively low. After all, there are still four hours, and we don't think the other party can delay that long. But if it's the second type, it's going to be troublesome. We don't know what the specific range is. If the mission requirement is that the other party cannot take the thing away from a certain number of kilometers, such as one hundred kilometers, then we really can't guarantee that the mission can be completed. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to get the magic core back as soon as possible. However, the opponent is obviously not that easy to deal with.
Because we know that our lineup is too luxurious, and we also know that the arrow array and the masters in the cave may not last long, so the other party can only use all the details, one of which is the stand-ins in front of us.
Because when Masamoto Matsumoto and I arrived, the person carrying the magic core of the other party had already ran out of the cave, so only Kristina and the other three had seen each other's appearance, and all they could remember in a hurry was what the other party was wearing. Black cloak with gold mask. It can be said that such an image is not a feature at all, because once the other party wants to deliberately disrupt our line of sight, they can easily create a bunch of false targets like now. Of course, there is one thing that cannot be faked, and that is the magic core. According to Kristina, that thing exudes noticeable magic fluctuations all the time, and as long as it is close to within 200 meters, you can feel it. Moreover, that thing does not seem to be included in any space equipment, and its size is also quite large, maybe two or three circles larger than a basketball. Such a big thing carries strong magic power fluctuations and cannot be installed in space equipment. It is not easy to hide it. However, even if you can't hide it when you get close, it is difficult to confirm which one is the target when you are far away, because I just asked the birds to fly around in the sky and saw six groups of such people heading towards different targets. The directions fan out, and who knows which group of them is true, or even all of them may be false. After all, the opponent can arrange an arrow array of ten thousand people, so why can't they arrange another group of people in different costumes to transport the magic core away? Therefore, it is neither right nor wrong for us to chase these people in cloaks.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Zhenhong looked at me and asked.
I looked at Kristina, then at Masamoto Matsumoto and the gold coins next to me, and finally I could only ask cruelly: "Can the magic core be destroyed?"
Kristina and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard my words, and then they reacted quickly because of the gold coins, and they immediately thought of my purpose.
"Hey, hey, you don't want to use that method, do you?"
"What can we do?" Zhenhong hadn't reacted yet.
Masamoto Matsumoto explained: "It is estimated that the president intends to use all his own power to release a large-scale ultimate move to blow up the entire forest, so that no matter how many groups of disguised substitutes the opponent has, and whether the opponent has the magic weapon, The core has been transferred to someone else. As long as the magic core can be kept intact after the ultimate move, we can find it directly. After all, once the president's ultimate move is used up, there will probably only be a big hole left here."
Masamoto Matsumoto's guess was absolutely correct, and I even thought about the skills, so I used Suzaku's Flame Fire to burn the whole forest to a white ground. As long as there is no more forest and no interference for the team, everything will be fine. manage. But the question now is - can the magic core withstand this magic? If I kill everyone with one move and the magic core is burned out, wouldn't it be like shooting myself in the foot? I can't do such a stupid thing.
