"Rumble!"
"Da da da da da …"
Gunshots, cannons, and the sound of energy pouring rang out.
The depths of the Death Desert, which had been quiet for a long time after being turned into a dead zone by the nuclear bomb, was now plunged into an intense commotion.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
A large group of mutated creatures with signs of Evolution Virus infection on their bodies roared and covered the ground as they charged toward the other side as if they were besieging a city.
"Da, da, da!"
The buzzing sound of an energy gun rang out. An NPC soldier on an armored vehicle with the emblem of the NPC Federation Army was controlling a silver energy gun and firing wildly at the swarm of infected creatures that were charging at them.
"Damn it, these trash-like infected creatures, go and die!"
The NPC soldier roared angrily as he fired a bullet from a new type of energy gun that was close to 2.5 meters long at the head of a Mutated Commander Grade Forager that was running close to the ground. The impact of the energy bullet instantly created a bullet hole in the Forager's head.
"Hiss!"
However, the Mutated Forager, whose heart was not hit, did not die. In the blink of an eye, with its broken and hole-like head, it leaped into the air and landed on top of the military armored vehicle.
Its tongue that was comparable to a bullet spat out, and together with the alloy armor and helmet, it pierced through the skull of the NPC soldier inside.
"B * stard!"
Before it could properly enjoy its prey.
A military NPC with the rank of captain, surging with powerful Origin Force, had already jumped onto the armored vehicle with a Legendary Grade laser sword in hand. He waved the sword furiously and cut the Level-60 Commander Licker, who had been shot to critical health, into two.
After that, the NPC captain jumped down from the armored vehicle and pounced toward the side.
His entire body surged with violent Origin Force, and he consecutively killed three Commander-grade infected creatures.
"You … deserve to die!"
Just as he was about to attack the fourth high-level infected creature, a red mist with a thick stench of blood enveloped him silently.
"Attack …"
Standing beside the corpse of the NPC major who had lost his heart, the blood mist formed a Boss Grade "Blood Wing Queen" that looked like an angel.
The Bloodwing Queen, a Boss with wings that looked like an angel, said coldly.
Along with her words, a spiritual wave spread out, causing all the infected creatures to show a fanatical expression. Ignoring the line of defense formed by the bullets, they charged toward the Federation's position!
A battle between the infected and the NPC army?
It seemed like the latter should be a positive character!
Squeak, squeak, squeak …
However, it was not only the infected army that was charging towards the Federation army's position.
On the other side of the battlefield, countless Zerg units, Bladed Beetles, Ferocious Zergs, Spray Beetles, Hydralisks, Steel Beetles, Thunder Beasts …
There were also the newly "assimilated" Blade Mantises, Dung Beetles, Flame Beetles … and even the humanoid Sons of Demons that formed the Insectoid ground troops. They stepped on the ever-extending Fungus Carpet on the ground and the Insectoid tunnels that were constantly being dug underground as they charged forward!
Compared to the attacks of the infected, they were even more ferocious and fearless of death.
"Damn it, there are so many of them. It's impossible to kill them all!"
An NPC soldier gritted his teeth as he operated the eight-barreled electromagnetic machine gun on top of the wall and fired wildly as he yelled angrily.
The electromagnetic machine gun's firing rate was fast, but it could not slow down the advance of the Insectoid ground and underground troops in the slightest.
Moreover, the Insectoids were far from just ground units.
Whoosh!
In the sky, a black shadow shrouded the area.
Some green mist silently spread out from the surroundings of the NPC soldiers who were attacking crazily.
The anti-gas mask that came with the Rare-grade tactical helmets quickly softened after coming into contact with the green mist. Even the body of the electromagnetic machine gun, which was made of alloy materials, had some small corrosive holes under the green mist.
A large green Insectoid unit that was more than 100 meters in size slowly moved through the air like a cloud.
Transport Zerg, a Level 70 Quasi-Boss unit of the Insectoid race. It had powerful defense and psionic energy shields. It could transport a large number of units and would form a toxic mist area wherever it passed.
Squeak, squeak …
However, the Insectoid clearly did not intend to rely on poison alone to make the NPC soldiers lose their combat power. It was enough for him to control the machine gun and kill many Insectoid units.
Several greenish-brown Insectoid units that were about half a meter in length swooped down from the sky. They were like praying mantises, flapping their wings at a frighteningly high frequency to produce powerful cutting power. They quickly finished off the panicking NPC soldiers who had their vision restricted.
They then turned around and flew into the sky, returning to the surroundings of a huge Insectoid creature that looked like a combination of a bat and a wing-shaped plane. It was a full 20 meters in diameter and was shrouded in a psionic energy shield that was smaller than a missile.
It circled and danced like a fighter jet.
Nest Overlord, a Level 80 Boss-Grade unit of the Insectoid race.
A War Overlord type Nest Overlord that carried a large number of medium and small Insectoid units could even use its own strength to destroy a group of the Federation military's floating aircraft carrier fighter jets.
In the air, on the ground, underground …
The Insectoid units attacked from three fronts, and the Federation NPC army's defense was completely stretched thin.
This was a replica of the war between humans and Insectoids that had once happened on this land.
The only difference was that the Insectoids were under the command of a "King Insectoid" that had formed a spiritual contract with the humans. They undoubtedly had a better understanding of the human race's combat methods.
Moreover, there were also humans on their side.
"Die!"
A two-meter-long super bow and arrow carrying a red high-energy bomb was shot out from a giant bow that emitted intense Force fluctuations. It hit the body of a Level 80 enhanced type "Synthetic Thunder Beast" that was more than ten stories tall.
The powerful force penetrated the defense that the Thunder Beast was so proud of.
After that, the explosion with a temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius caused the Thunder Beast to lose more than 100,000 HP. Its huge body fell to the ground, causing a depression in the sand dune.
"It's not dead yet. Go and finish it off."
A military NPC major wearing a four-meter-tall battle armor that was a combination of metal and crystal felt shouted at his comrade beside him.
He shouted at his comrade, who was wearing a similar armor and holding a Particle Cutter Longsword that was more than ten meters long.
Force Battle Armor!
Using the Force Battle Armor obtained from the space battleship, the NPC army created the first batch of mass-produced Force Battle Armor.
Although the power of the original battle armor was slightly inferior, the strength of these NPCs wearing the Force Battle Armor had almost reached the level of Quasi-Boss combat power.
It was also with these Force Battle Armors that the NPC army could still have the ability to deal with and even suppress the top experts among the players.
However, they were just normal top experts.
"Whoosh!"
There was a sound of air breaking in the air. Phoenix, who was wearing a crimson Epic grade battle armor forged by Old John after leveling up, jumped down from the back of a Insectoid Flying Snake.
"Pa, pa, pa …"
Her body was enveloped by the Boss grade "Jelly," which helped her resist the heavy firepower of the NPCs, including the sniper attack of a miniature guided missile.
"Boom!"
The moment Phoenix's feet landed on the ground, black psionic flames rose like waves, and a huge psionic phoenix radiated across the entire area.
"Not good!"
"My Force Battle Armor is out of control."
"Retreat, it's the Dark Phoenix!"
Among the NPC Force Battle Armor team, a panicked voice rang out. The psionic flames that could ignite the Force were simply the natural nemesis of Force Battle Armor.
"Ah, ah!"
At the place where she landed, two NPC officers, one with a bow and one with a sword, turned into two corpses in the blink of an eye.
"Crash!"
Not far from where Phoenix was, right in front of a group of NPC mecha battleships that were charging.
"This path is blocked!"
He laughed coldly and confidently.
The Epic grade energy converter in Zhao Yun's hand flashed, outlining a three-dimensional projection in the shape of a maze.
On the battlefield between the two sides, a maze made of earth energy and Force also rose from the ground in a short second.
"Not good!"
"Gravity anomaly."
"Calling for command!"
The entire maze instantly appeared with five times the gravity, causing a group of military battle armored vehicles to fall into chaos and paralyze.
"Little broken balls, rush up and crush all these armored vehicles."
And on the side of this stone maze, more than ten giant "rock balls" that were about ten meters in size were rolling on the battlefield, rampaging.
Big Pineapple who was shouting to command his pet had a look of satisfaction on his face, and the NPC military armored vehicles were all evading with ashen faces.
These "rock balls" that came from the Devil Tri-Horn Island, used the Nine-Star Guild's Commander-Grade pet biochip to successfully form a contract, and used the high-grade pet cultivation fluid created in the newly built "pet breeding base" of Nightless to quickly raise their grade to Level 50 Quasi-Boss, they were very powerful in this kind of battle.
If they did not fight, they would be directly knocked over or even flattened.
If they fought, after breaking, they would turn into countless rocks that would affect their movement, and they could also quickly reform back to their original state. If they got close, they could even self-destruct, causing a large group of armored vehicles to be riddled with scars.
Although the attack power of these "rock balls" was relatively average.
But in terms of the ability to disrupt the battlefield, it was enough to make the enemy feel crazy.
And on the battlefield, this kind of mass-produced team of Quasi-Boss pets was far from just these few.
Invisible Lizard, Striped Leopard Flower, Metal Praying Mantis, Flame One-horned Giant Rhinoceros …
The Devil Tri-Horn Island that once caused a lot of Storm City's expert players to lose a lot, now all the pets on it could be found on the battlefield, causing people to inevitably fall into memories.
Of course, compared to the newly built "Pet Evolution Center."
The "Terminator Research Center" that had already become Nightless City's signature, in this battle, played a role that was not inferior at all.
"Boom!"
Under the control of the Mech Operator, a body that was about ten meters in size, with combat power comparable to a Level 70 Quasi-Boss NPC military's top combat mech, violently used the giant shield in its hands to forcefully smash a rolling "rock ball" into pieces. Together with the flamethrowers on its shoulders, it caused the core that was hiding in the rock ball to be roasted to death.
"Hua la!"
However, when it roared and waved its shield, preparing to rush to the next target.
A mechanical tentacle with a diameter of several meters and emitting blue light suddenly descended from the sky and directly rolled it up. Ignoring its struggle, it directly threw the mecha, which was almost ten meters in size, into a "furnace" with a diameter of more than twenty meters above its head where high-temperature molten metal was churning.
X-999, codenamed "Furnace of Destruction," a Level 79 Boss-Type mechanical unit!
This was created by Nightless City using the four blueprints obtained from the arena, under the guidance of Digital Cat, with the help of the Terminator Research Center's equipment.
Its combat power was almost the same as the original version, and after a certain extent of improvement, it could continue to fight without the need for the lake water to cool down.
And on this battlefield, there was far more than this type of heavy machinery.
Z-990 that could be transformed into a missile launch pad, L-970 codenamed "Thor," E-855 that could transform into a Flame Tank …
These Terminators that once caused a huge hindrance to the players in the arena had caused heavy losses to the NPC military this time.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
However, on the entire battlefield, the thing that made the NCP feel the most fearful was undoubtedly the continuous sound of sniper gunshots that came from nowhere.
Special sniper bullets with a speed of more than 1,000 meters per second accurately hit the NPC officers, Machine Gunners, and Mecha Operators on the battlefield one by one on the forehead or the heart.
Sky Eye, North Star, Left Hand Reflection, Watermelon Skin …
Too many of Nightless City's Snipers had already entered the ranks of the top players. On this kind of battlefield, it was enough to control the situation in a small area.
Of course, there were also … those that were not so reliable.
"Nine o 'clock direction, distance 2,539 meters!"
Wearing the Nightless City Elite Badge, Black Rose, under the cover of Rose Thorns' Legendary Grade shield, locked onto the target's position with a calm expression.
"Okay, watch me!"
Xing Shao, who felt that Snipers were more handsome, so he bought a high price for his second Profession Chip as Sniper, confidently aimed the Epic Grade sniper rifle in his hand, then shot with the demeanor of an expert.
"Boom!"
The expensive A-Grade special bullet, after flying more than two kilometers, hit an Advanced Mech.
"Kaboom!"
The explosive power of a sniper bullet was comparable to a grenade, making a half-foot hole in the Mech with strong defense, living up to its name of A-Grade bullet.
However, the NPC Mecha Operator who was repairing the Mech at the side, escaped the disaster by a distance of about a few feet, quickly hid after wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
Then, he operated the Mech to launch a counterattack.
"Buzz, buzz!"
Two new energy missiles flew in a pincer attack, the explosion covering an area with a diameter of close to 20 meters, raising sand waves that sent it flying more than 100 meters into the air.
"Brother-in-law, save me!"
When the light and energy shock wave produced by the explosion faded.
On the ground, Xing Shao, whose whole body was smoking, let out a cry that sounded like he was on his last breath.
If not for the benefit of his Legendary Grade or even Epic Grade equipment, he would definitely have been killed in one shot.
This "Brother-in-law" made Sister Rui, who had awakened the Force at the side, look helpless, while Director Meng, Boss Qian, and the other old Nightless City players had smiles on their faces.
But no one was in a hurry to save him, whose HP was low.
Because …
"Buzz!"
In the sky, a huge ten-winged angel that looked like it was condensed from golden sunlight emitted light that covered more than half of the sky above the Nightless City camp.
Ten gorgeous light wings vibrated slightly, and every time they vibrated, a large number of illusory golden feathers formed from absorbing the sunlight in the sky would fall down.
After flying to the ground and falling into the players' bodies, as long as the players did not die, green blood would appear above their heads and revive them. Even the infected army could quickly recover from their injuries after the feathers entered their bodies, their negative statuses would disappear, and even their broken limbs could be reconnected.
Angels belonged to the light and could not coexist with these infected creatures that were full of evil. This rule was clearly not suitable in War.
"Rumble …"
However, the most eye-catching thing on the entire battlefield was not this strange ten-winged angel.
Instead, it was the direction of the core area of the Underground City. Under the control of the NPC military, a huge space battleship with a length of five kilometers rose from the ground like a volcanic eruption.
After spending an unimaginable amount of credits, as well as enlisting the efforts of thousands of Master-level scientists, the space battleship had been repaired by 95 percent, and it had the ability to participate in battles.
This was the true strength of the entire NPC military!
"It's that space battleship!"
"It's actually been repaired by the NPC!"
"Damn, it won't be turned around by the NPC, right?"
Many players in Nightless City had long known about the existence of the space battleship.
However, they did not expect that it had actually been successfully repaired by the NPC.
This was a space battleship. Not to mention other things, just its size alone was enough to make people feel pressured and small to the extreme.
One had to know that the X- 10000 in the arena was only a height of 100 meters, and it had already caused the deaths of thousands of players in the competition.
However, this space battleship covered a full few kilometers, and it only needed to fall from the sky to destroy half of the battlefield.
The most important thing was that the surface of this space battleship actually had a layer of blue energy shield.
Even though Nightless City had used the missile blueprints that the participating players had exchanged for after the arena and already had the ability to mass-produce miniature missiles, and because of the lack of purification of the energy crystals, the space battleship's shield was actually only "elementary"!
However, after all, it was still a universe-level unit. When the players' attacks hit it, they only caused some ripples and did not pose any threat at all.
"What do we do?"
"Do we have a way to deal with the space battleship?"
"The strategy team should have thought of this possibility!"
Seeing that the space battleship had completed its ascent, the row of huge cannon muzzles on it were each larger than the Annihilation Furnace.
Facing the direction of the cannon muzzles, the Nightless City players could not help but panic!
"Finally … Is the repair complete? I've been waiting for a long time! "
Only Feng Luo, who was completely covered in demon armor and floating in the golden light like a dot between his eyebrows, had a smile on his face.
In the blink of an eye, a mysterious poker card flew out of his hand.
"Wow!"
"Look!"
"This is!"
The next moment, a "super battleship" that was full of a metallic texture but looked a little illusory like an angel, and its size was not inferior to a space battleship.
It suddenly appeared above the battlefield, covering half of the sky.
God of Poker – Cybertron Battleship, Level Seven unit projection!
As the battleship projection took shape, in the next moment, a strong gravitational force was generated with it as the center.
Below and even to the side of the battleship, the mechas, armored vehicles, steel fortifications, and even the powerful Force Armor that the NPC army relied on were all involuntarily attracted to the battleship.
"Kacha …"
Then, under the pressure of an invisible force, they all deformed and were squeezed into pieces like armor, sticking to the surface of the illusory battleship.
In the blink of an eye, a special version of the steel space battleship quickly formed in front of the dazed eyes of countless players and NPCs on the battlefield.
"Ah!"
"How could this be?"
"Adventurers also have space battleships?"
The NPC soldiers, who had already fallen into a disadvantageous situation, all showed panic on their faces!
Originally, they were full of confidence for this battle.
According to the report, it was because the adventurers had cultivated extraterrestrial creatures and colluded with the rebel army to create biochemical infected creatures.
That was why the military suddenly launched a "righteous strike" against them.
However, in the battle, they realized that the adventurers were no longer the same as they remembered.
Not only was the military's sneak attack thwarted when the opponent was already prepared, but they were also counterattacked by the adventurers at the entrance of their own base!
It was also because in order to stabilize the situation, the higher-ups publicly announced that they had a space battleship, allowing them to persist until now.
However, the other party also had a space battleship?
Then, of the two space battleships that almost completely covered the sky above the battlefield, relying entirely on angels to provide light to watch the battle, which one was stronger?
"Boom!"
There was an answer to this question right away.
Because the first half of the illusory space battleship was already covered with metal armor, it did not launch an attack like a "Star Destroyer" like many people had imagined.
Instead, under the situation where all heavy weapons, even missiles, had lost their attack ability under its strange force field, it continued to accelerate and finally crashed heavily into the space battleship in the air!
"Crash!"
The sound of shattering rang out.
The temporarily pieced together Cybertron battleship, which was still in a mostly illusory state, directly disintegrated in the collision.
However, the elementary shield that the space battleship had activated after barely repairing also collapsed in this collision. After that, the illusory Cybertron battleship and the physical space battleship collided fiercely!
"We lost?"
"It's over!"
Seeing this scene, the Nightless City players already had an idea of the outcome in their hearts.
After all, the Cybertron battleship was only illusory. It was impossible for it to smash the physical battleship. Otherwise, there would be no need to build a layer of armor first.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The space battleship that collided with the Cybertron battleship did not suffer the slightest damage.
The illusory battleship, on the other hand, directly disappeared in the air!
"We failed …"
"Not good, the ship's cannons are already charging, quickly dodge!"
"How do we dodge? This is a space battleship, and it's equipped with a super-large railgun! "
"Where's the command center, quickly give the order, what should we do?"
This was the somewhat panicked voice of the Nightless City players.
"We won!"
"I knew it. How could these adventurers have a space battleship? They must have some kind of large-scale projection method to scare us."
"Fire the cannons, directly destroy them all. I've had enough of these disgusting bugs!"
These were the soldiers of the NPC army, and they were cheering excitedly.
"Communication system out of control!"
"Energy supply system out of control!"
"Weapon system out of control!"
Naturally, they did not know.
At this time, in the command room of the space battleship, a group of Federation NPC officers with the rank of general were panicking!
This was because the target of the fully charged cannons was not the players' position at all, but their own position below.
Who would have thought that it would cost the Federation military an unimaginable amount of financial resources and countless top Master-level professionals in various industries to repair a space battleship?
Unexpectedly, after it was officially activated, it only went through one collision.
It directly changed owners!
"Boom!"
When a row of cannons fired, to the NPC soldiers' shock, more than half of the military position was directly turned into ruins.
This undoubtedly also announced the outcome of the strongest collision between the adventurers and the NPCs!
"Phew … It seems that we worried for nothing. The Nightless City does not need any external support at all. By themselves, they already have the ability to defeat the most well-equipped NPC army! "
"Yes, we should have expected it. After all, he was invited to join the highest organization. His strength cannot be measured by ordinary people! "
"It seems that our bet was completely correct."
On the periphery of the battlefield, among a group of miscellaneous players with the logos of the Xiao Group, the Rui Conglomerate, the Huan Yu Company, the Miki Financial Group, and so on.
In a mobile conference room that was modified from a large-scale machine called the "Battle Fortress" obtained from the competition's blueprints, the decision makers of the 17th Administrative Planet, formed by the three-dimensional projection, all showed expressions of emotion.
"Compared to the players' rebirth, the NPCs are obviously doomed in this war … What I care more about is the significance of this space battleship's launch!"
"You mean to say …"
"Look …"
The head of the Rui Family suddenly reached out and pointed in a direction.
About ten kilometers in front of them, a large area of the ground was shaking rapidly, and several sand dunes were directly lifted up.
"Crash!"
Then, shrouded in an invisible psionic shield, the Zerg base had tentacles that could be filled with the function of a spiral ladder, covering an area of several kilometers.
Like the previous space battleship, it slowly rose into the air, surrounded by tens of thousands of Zerg flying units. It was like a fortress in the sky!
To be precise, it was a space fortress.
"Leviathan Zerg Base, Level 70 (Super Boss), Has: Space Travel, Opening Wormhole Ability."
Moreover, after the fusion of the "Cybertron" battleship, a "star map" of the old Galaxy Empire was found in the space battleship!
This meant that the next journey of the Nightless City would be …
The sea of stars!
