Chapter 240 Map Cannon
As I stepped through the hole I had dug, my whole body immediately followed the law of gravity and fell straight down. Because it was a vertical shaft, I fell very fast and disappeared on the ground almost in the blink of an eye, but Zeus was completely dumbfounded.
After staring blankly at the place where I disappeared for two seconds, Zeus suddenly realized that now was not the time to be in a daze, so he began to make a decision.
There are currently three choices before Zeus. Although the results are almost the same, Zeus doesn't think so. He feels that he still has a chance. The first option is to run out quickly. As long as you run out of the attack range of the super weapon above your head before it is fired, you will be safe. And even if you can't run out of the attack range, as long as you leave the direct hit point, at least the power will be reduced. It's a lot and should be blocked.
The second option is simpler than the first, which is to stand still and support the protective barrier on the spot. However, Zeus is more worried about this option. He also feels that it is unlikely that he can block the direct impact of the weapon. attack.
The third option seems to have the best chance of survival, which is to get into the isolation barrier. Even if the power of the super weapon will be covered, it will be weakened if there is an isolation barrier blocking it. But the last thing Zeus wanted to choose was this one, because he finally got out, and if he was asked to get back in, what would it be like to work so hard for so long before?
After a brief tangle of tenths of a second, Zeus finally determined that his goal was the first option, which was to run.
Although he can't fly, Zeus's moving speed is actually not slow, but it's just not comparable to the flying units in our guild. After all, the speed of his two legs is limited. No matter how strong he is, he can only move at that speed. If he wants to surpass it, he can't fly. Speeding up flying units isn't that easy.
Just as Zeus turned around and ran away, the bunch of magic light balls he had shot away had already flown near our radiation cannon, but instead of slowing down, their speed was getting faster and faster, almost in the blink of an eye. It hit the transmitter. This speed increase is not the inherent attribute of the magic missile, but the reason of the radiation cannon. I didn't lie to Zeus before. When the radiant cannon is gathering energy, it is like an energy magnet. It will indeed attract energy objects, especially these magic bullets and the like. That root is a pure energy body, and naturally has huge gravity. The result is that the closer they get to the launcher, the faster they move. They all hit the energy-gathering crystal in the center of the launcher, and then disappear. However, the light that gradually lights up in the energy-gathering crystal suddenly rises. Small cut.
About two seconds later, the radiant cannon was finally charged. Zeus had just run less than 500 meters when he suddenly felt a huge burst of energy behind him. Zeus was so frightened that he didn't even dare to look back and jumped forward as hard as he could. . He thought that the bombardment would start and then spread after the attack hit the ground. This process should still take a few seconds, and this time would be enough for him to run a considerable distance. So he didn't look back to see how our radiated cannons were firing, but instead lowered his head and charged forward. Unfortunately, although his idea was good, he ignored a crucial piece of information, that is, our radiation cannon fired not energy bombs, but energy beams.
Generally speaking, the speed of directional beam energy weapons is very fast. The wave energy weapons can generally reach the speed of light or sub-light speed. The speed of ion weapons will be slightly slower, but they are at least fifty times the speed of sound. Absolutely It's not something that can be compared with Zeus's magic bullet of fifty meters per second. Therefore, almost at the moment when the radiation cannon fired, personnel from both sides in the distance saw a beam of light suddenly shot down from the bottom of Essinger Mobile Fortress, directly hitting the edge of the isolation barrier, where Zeus had drilled before. The location of the dog hole.
The moment the radiant light beam hit the ground, Zeus knew that he had miscalculated the speed of the cannonball. Although the explosion power spread quickly, there was still time after all, but light would not slow down, so when the attack landed, Zeus was the first In the blink of an eye, the surroundings suddenly turned white, and there was nothing else but light in front of me.
Zeus did not continue to run forward until the attack had landed. Anyway, he couldn't run very far in this second, so he might as well turn around and defend, so he did so, but the result did not change much. In fact, the current ending was already doomed from the moment he decided to run.
The radiant cannon under Essinger Mobile Fortress is so powerful and its coverage is far beyond what Zeus has ever seen with civilian weapons. Moreover, Essinger Mobile Fortress is a city after all, and it has a space locking device, so the teleportation All skills are useless here. Although Zeus can't fly, he can still escape in time if he can teleport. After all, the weapon under Essinger Mobile Fortress is a weapon against cities rather than an anti-personnel weapon. Its speed and preparation time are too long, but Suitable for attacking things that don't move. It's a pity that Zeus was deceived by me at the beginning, so he wasted the time to escape. By the time the problem was discovered, the safety time limit had already been missed.
After hurriedly turning around and setting up a defensive barrier, Zeus saw a wall of fire that was more than three hundred meters high and with barely visible edges on both sides sweeping toward him. Although he had already exerted all his strength to stop the wall of fire from advancing, But I still underestimated the power of this thing. The protective shield shattered instantly like a plastic light box in front of a typhoon, and Zeus himself was swallowed up by the flames. In the millions of degrees of heat, Zeus also felt at least thirty different energy attacks sweeping at the same time. Passed through his body, and the third strongest God King Armor among the Olympus Protoss on his body only lasted for three seconds before it shattered into metal fragments all over the sky, and his own body was not much better. In an instant The water on the surface was evaporated, and the skin began to crack and collapse. Although the internal tissues were protected by divine power, they were still unable to withstand such terrifying power. They were easily penetrated, and even the bones began to crack under the high pressure generated by the explosion.
After the attack broke out at Essinger Mobile Fortress, the entire battlefield fell silent, and the only sound left between the sky and the earth was the sound of billowing fire waves rolling forward. The die-hard fans of Zeus in the Olympus Protoss all saw Zeus being swallowed up by the flames, and then they all froze, while the people on our side turned around and ran away immediately. The enemy doesn't know how powerful Essinger Mobile Fortress is, and of course we ourselves have to know it. Although the main battlefield is not within the attack range, the diffusion effect of this thing is very strong, so even if it is outside the direct killing radius, people will not be killed. of. Besides, even if you can't die, getting injured on the battlefield is not a good thing, right? This is a game, not a real battlefield, and there is no Geneva Convention. Here, the enemy will not let go of those who are injured and lose their combat effectiveness. When they see an injured enemy, they will only step forward to hit you with a blow, regardless of whether you have lost your combat effectiveness.
Although the Olympus protoss who watched Zeus being swallowed by the flames were stunned for a moment, their ability to survive was not lost. After being stunned for two seconds, they were finally awakened by the approaching wall of fire, and then began to turn around and run away. Everyone on the battlefield was running, regardless of whether they were enemies before. This time everyone was running forward as hard as if they were participating in a collective marathon competition. However, even if we escape, there is still a big gap between us and our enemies.
Whether they are players or NPCs, all the participants in the guild have the ability to maneuver in the air, and they are all very fast. As for those members of the Hades from the original Olympus Protoss who joined us, they They have joined our guild, so they are all equipped with guard spears by us, so now they finally don't have to worry about speed. Looking at the wall of fire coming from behind, and looking at their former colleagues running desperately on the ground, these gods of the underworld were filled with a sense of superiority in their hearts. What is happiness? Happiness is when a catastrophe strikes, sitting on the plane and watching others escape on their own legs on the ground.
Compared with the guys from the Hades system, the Poseidon system and some of the Olympus gods from the Celestial system who are ready to join us but have not officially joined yet are more depressed now because they find that they have to run on their own legs. Those guys have air mounts to use, but think about who told them to take refuge early, this is the gap.
However, these gods of the sea and gods did not feel sorry for themselves for long when they suddenly noticed that the flying formation in the sky began to turn. Those guild players and gods of the Hades system who had already flown began to lower their altitude, and then accurately caught the Olympus protoss of the Poseidon or Celestial systems who had defected to us one by one and took them away. ground.
When these gods who thought they were going to be in trouble suddenly found themselves rescued, their moods were as high and low as a roller coaster ride. In fact, in addition to the players and gods in our guild, the high-level NPCs in the guild and the mobile angel troops are also rescuing people. The reason why everyone's actions are so unified is entirely due to the work of the God of War. When dealing with Zeus before, the God of War also entered the duel space with us, so the battlefield command was temporarily suspended for a while. Now that the God of War has come out, the command has naturally resumed. The guild gods and players who came to patronize their evacuation suddenly received direct instructions. They immediately remembered that there were a group of colleagues below who were about to join them, so they descended one after another and began to rescue people. Thanks to the precise positioning ability of the crystal communicator, otherwise there would be so many people and enemies scattered together that it would be impossible to find and rescue one of our own by just looking at them. Besides, as far as system judgment is concerned, these own people should still be considered Olympus gods at present, so they are basically indistinguishable in terms of appearance. If we hadn't given each of the gods who took refuge before launching the plan, A communicator was sent, and the accidental injury rate in this battle might break the Guinness World Record.
In fact, rescuing those gods who took refuge was not simply helping one's own people, it was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone. On the one hand, the gods who were rescued immediately realized the huge advantages of joining our guild after comparing them with the Olympus protoss on the ground. I have to admit that air superiority is very important. Even if the combat effectiveness of guardian creatures like spears is zero, as long as they maintain their current flying ability, they will be the strongest guardian beasts of the guild, even more useful than those giant dragons. After all, giant dragons It can only defend the city, and it is impossible to equip every player in our guild with one. However, the spear is a prolific species. Not only does every player in the guild have one, but also a large number of high-level NPCs from the Chaos and Order Protoss and the guild. Equipped with a long gun, all fools know the benefits of flying the entire guild. Looking at the strength of the cavalry on the ground, you will understand that the flying air cavalry is far more terrifying than the land cavalry.
Of course, in addition to rescuing these gods who have taken refuge in us, in addition to making them realize how correct their choices are and consolidating their loyalty, another benefit is to shake the enemy's military morale. The Olympus Protoss who were struggling on the ground looked at their former companions who flew up. Don't they have any ideas in their hearts?
Loyalty sounds great, but how many people are truly loyal? Although some people do not betray their loyalties until their death, their loyalty is still not entirely to their loyalties. Instead, after considering their own gains and losses, they place bets on these loyalties, that is, they are gambling. rather than true allegiance. There are also some people who are more loyal to their relatives than to the object of their allegiance. They showed great loyalty by dying generously on the battlefield because they knew that they were fighting for the interests of their wives, children, and children. Even if they died, they would still benefit, so they died generously and never looked back.
These two types of loyalty are actually the most common types of loyalty, and their basic starting point is still oneself. The kind of person who is still willing to be loyal to you even if you kill his whole family and then continue to insult him so that he will never benefit and only have to bear the blame for his whole life, is not impossible, but it is definitely rare. There is no one who can have such subordinates who is not a legendary leader. His personal charisma has reached the level of a monster and cannot be imitated by ordinary people.
Zeus obviously does not belong to this kind of existence with personal charm reaching the level of a monster, so the group of Olympus gods who are loyal to him are actually the two types of selfish loyalties. They are either gamblers who think that Zeus will win the final victory, or they are cowards who dare not change jobs easily, fearing that if Zeus is not defeated, they will settle the score with them.
Precisely because the remaining people were not die-hard loyalists and had their own reasons for their loyalty, we rescued their former companions in front of them, which immediately touched the already sensitive nerves of these people. Comparing the experiences of those former colleagues and looking at themselves, many people's beliefs immediately became unstable. And these people are the foundation for us to quickly stabilize the Olympus Protoss after the war and re-establish a new Olympus Protoss. So our current rescue operation is actually an operation that kills two birds with one stone.
In fact, while the personnel on both sides were busy escaping from the fire coverage area, the group of senior personnel who had besieged Zeus and I had already returned to the ground to look for the direction in which Zeus had left. The attack diffusion effect of Essinger Mobile Fortress is like a ring. Once it passes, it is safe and will not cause continuous damage. Therefore, although the attack is not actually completely over, we are already safe here. And now we must find Zeus as soon as possible, whether alive or dead. The success or failure of our offensive and defensive battle against the Olympus Protoss all depends on the current situation of Zeus!
