The moon was already high in the sky!
Although it was only half a round, with the Night Pearls (miniature solar lamps) and other items exchanged from the City of Humans, it was enough for the Twin Dragon Mount fort to have a night battle.
"Advance!"
"Destroy the Metal Men in one fell swoop!"
With the Extraordinary Rank-5 Yang Zhi as the vanguard, the Twin Dragon Mount fort's team that entered the Metal Men's territory had expanded to about 50 people.
Apart from the 30 soldiers above Rank-7 who were holding shields, the others were all holding some remote weapons. Under the moonlight, black soul power was entwined around them!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
After entering the Metal Men's territory, seven or eight Metal Men glowing in blue crawled out of the holes in the ground again and moved at high speed to attack and block the humans.
Clang! Hum!
However, the sound of the pipa and the mental attack shrouded them together, and the blue light on one of the Metal Men was instantly shattered. It "flipped" again while moving at high speed, and the sparks it made when it fell to the metal ground were even more eye-catching and brilliant than during the day.
Roar!
Under the night sky, the Soul Alpha Wolf, whose eyes were as red as fire, roared soundlessly and pounced at the Metal Men with surging soul power. In the blink of an eye, it killed the first Metal Man in the battle!
Thud, thud, thud …
The metal blades that the Metal Men shot out were almost all blocked.
Although the moonlight wasn't enough for the ordinary soldiers to clearly see the trajectory of these "metal blades", the thirty thick shields that were taller than a human were made after they cut down another mahogany tree before sunset. It was enough to ensure that there were no gaps in the human's advancing formation!
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt …
Seeing this, the Metal Men glowing in blue decisively chose to retreat, just like they had done in the afternoon.
"Don't go after them!"
Faced with this situation, the humans didn't chase after them immediately. Instead, they surrounded the dead Metal Men, as if they were waiting for the spoils of war to appear before continuing their march!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Faced with the humans' behavior, the Metal Men seemed to be infuriated. They had already retreated, but they turned around again and fired metal blades at the humans from a distance.
"Alright, let's go!"
Seeing that, Ji Ye and Gongsun Sheng suddenly looked at each other and picked up the Silver Liquid ball that the dead Metal Men condensed. It didn't have the attributes of an offering, but it was indeed a Rare item. Then, they ordered the team of the Twin Dragon Mount to move on!
"Zi, zi, zi …"
Seeing the humans attack, the Metal Men chose to retreat again.
However, it seemed to have been infuriated by the human's behavior just now. Instead of leaving at high speed, it kept turning around while retreating and harassing them with its metal blades!
Along the way, a few more Metal Men glowing with blue light rushed out and attacked together with them. Now, there were ten Metal Men in total!
However, under the impenetrable shield formation of the humans, the Metal Men's attacks couldn't break through the defense at all.
On the other hand, a Metal Man that was a little too close was overturned by Chu Yin's Topaz Pipa and Nie Xiaoqian's mental attack. The Soul Alpha Wolf killed it and took the third Extraordinary Soul of Civilization and the Silver Liquid ball!
As they advanced and harassed, the human team completely stepped into the Metal Men's settlement!
"Well, look ahead!"
Then, after going around a small metal hill that blocked their view, all the humans' eyes lit up.
Because they saw a stunning building about one or two meters above the ground. It was made of highly purified gold, silver, copper, and other metals, and it looked like a magnificent work of art from an auction.
Under the moonlight, the buildings reflected different colors of light, giving people the feeling that they were in a bustling city on Earth.
Obviously, the Metal Men had developed a civilization to a certain extent!
However, for the humans, the first thing they paid attention to was the center of the buildings, where the silver light of the power of providence was floating.
Obviously, that was where the Metal Men's settlement core was!
"Zi, zi …"
At this moment, it seemed that they had no way to retreat and couldn't let the humans advance any further. The dozen or so Metal Men stopped some distance in front of the buildings and moved in a straight line to attack the humans!
"Chief Wu, you, Chu Yin, and Mr. Gongsun will take 20 people and go around them from the right! Commander Yang, you, Ninth Uncle, and Commander Ling will take 20 people and advance from the left and right.
"The rest of you, follow me and stay where you are. Get ready to support us!"
The Metal Men's settlement core was right in front of them. They only needed to advance about 200 meters in a straight line to attack it.
Ji Ye and Gongsun Sheng looked at each other again. Then, the human team, which had been advancing slowly in a tight formation, suddenly split into three groups.
All of a sudden, they split into three groups and sped up to push forward!
"Zi, zi, zi …"
Faced with the humans' sudden split, the blue light on the Metal Men, which was very eye-catching when they moved at high speed in the night, seemed to tremble, and then their attacks became a little chaotic.
After all, there were only 10 of them. Although they were all Extraordinary, they had used up a lot of their Extraordinary power and metal "ammunition" in the previous battle. There was no way they could split into three groups and stop all the humans!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Under such circumstances, the other Metal Men finally had to show up.
Holes suddenly appeared on the seemingly normal metal ground along the human army's route. Then, nearly 20 Metal Men with blue light crawled out of the holes.
The distribution of these holes had obviously been calculated. If the humans had advanced according to their original route, they would have been ambushed by the Metal Men from all directions as soon as they entered this area!
However, Ji Ye's sudden decision to split up the troops made the Metal Men's ambush fail. They had to show up and launch a war between the two races when they were vaguely surrounded by the humans!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
But unlike before, this time, among the metal pieces that were shot out at high speed, some of them had a blue light similar to the Metal Men's. They looked like blue flying daggers, and they were much faster than ordinary metal pieces!
Hum!
When Ji Ye raised his mahogany shield to block a "blue flying dagger" that was flying at him, the metal piece that was glowing with blue light suddenly changed direction right before it hit the shield. It bypassed the shield and hit Ji Ye.
Then, a strong electric current burst out of Ji Ye's body, and tiny pieces of metal that glowed with blue light were flying like bullets!
It wasn't a "flying dagger"; it was a "blue light bomb knife"!
Whoosh!
But Ji Ye wasn't injured, because the hazy yellow light of Earth's Boon blocked all the electric current and the tiny pieces.
"Ah!"
However, the native "guard" who had been following him with his shield let out a muffled grunt.
Because a "bomb knife" that was also glowing with blue light had hit his shield. The greater speed and strength had pierced through the ordinary mahogany shield, and the energy that exploded when it hit his abdomen had slightly melted the armor of this Rank-8 Elite guard!
Fortunately, Ji Ye had made everyone wear double armor. Although the native guard was injured, his life wasn't in danger.
"Are they finally going to show their true strength? Elder Meng was right! "
Ji Ye looked at the "blue light bomb knife" flying on the battlefield with a solemn expression, but he wasn't too surprised.
It was because Elder Meng, who was in the settlement, had suggested the series of actions the humans had taken after they marched into the Metal Men territory.
The reason was that although Ji Ye didn't get much information about the Metal Men when he logged off, he had specifically mentioned one thing!
"The Metal Men can use electromagnetic fields to shoot metal pieces that are faster than cannonballs. Even Extraordinary people can't block them!"
And the metal blades that the Metal Men shot out in the afternoon were even slower than the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow. They couldn't penetrate the ordinary mahogany shield!
Was there something wrong with the Confederation Office's information?
Ji Ye obviously didn't think so. After all, a lot of the information was brought back by people from other settlements at the cost of their lives.
Then, there was only one reason. The Metal Men were deliberately showing weakness to the enemy!
This was further confirmed after the humans officially launched their attack at night.
With the level of development of the Metal Men's civilization, it was obvious that they wouldn't repeat the same mistake in the evening, even though they knew that they couldn't stop the humans in this way. They had sent a small number of people to stop the humans, and they had lost two of their companions for nothing.
Everything was because the Metal Men were playing tricks on the humans.
They were showing weakness to the enemy and luring them in!
"Wait, that's not right. These aren't metal 'people'? "
Mister Bug, who had hurriedly activated the green light shield to protect himself, suddenly said in surprise behind Ji Ye.
This was because these new Metal Men were completely different from the original Metal Men.
They were in all kinds of shapes. Some looked like motorcycles, some looked like jet skateboards, and some looked like fish … When Ji Ye turned around and looked at the Metal Man that had just attacked him, he found that it had four arms and looked very similar to the Forest Monsters that had been destroyed!
"It seems that they should be called the Metal race …"
Li Qing seemed to have understood something.
Obviously, these Metal Men weren't really humanoid. They had turned into humans for the same reason that they had deliberately shown weakness before. They wanted to take advantage of the habitual way of thinking of human beings!
For example, shooting experts like Ling Zhen and Qin Yueyu would habitually hit the heads and chests of humanoid creatures when they attacked them.
In fact, these attacks were useless against the Metal Men. Instead, they were a waste of human ammunition and weapons, and they could create an opportunity for the Metal Men to fight back!
It was safe to say that the Metal Men had turned into humans at the beginning of the battle to show weakness, lure them in, and ambush them from all sides!
The Metal race had set up a trap from the very beginning, waiting for the humans to fall into it.
However, as the Metal Men, who were probably the only creatures on a certain metal planet or plane, they were too inexperienced when it came to fighting against foreign enemies, even though they had great power.
Humans had perfected the strategy of pretending to be defeated and luring the enemy into an ambush thousands of years ago. Anyone who had seen it in modern society would know it!
