The small plain that was covered in red pebbles was completely silent. Only the occasional fishy and salty wind brought the distant sound of waves to our ears. In front of me was an empty plain. However, as long as I concentrated, all kinds of invisibility effects would lose their effect on me. Then, I could see that there were two hundred Schilling's soldiers hiding in a rather wretched manner.
Yep, actually, these soldiers' postures weren't wretched at all. It was just that when I saw a certain knight-faced uncle who was squatting on the ground and chuckling as he wiped his gun, I felt that this entire encirclement plan was filled with wretchedness.
Pandora quietly stood two meters in front of me on the right. Strange beeping sounds came from her body from time to time, which made me think that it was very amusing. As far as I knew, Pandora's current body structure was basically the same as a human's. So these beeping sounds … Could it be that this lass usually used this method to relieve her boredom when she was bored?
When I asked later, it turned out to be true …
Just as I was getting a little sleepy, the enemy finally arrived as expected.
Under the perception of my mutated mental power, a wave of obscure energy rapidly gathered in the center of our encirclement. Along with it, a faint, pungent smell of sulfur wafted through the air. Sandora gestured to me, indicating for me to pay attention to Jaina's reaction.
I turned my head and realized that Jaina didn't have any reaction at all.
Sandora's voice sounded in my mind. "This is an energy wave that doesn't belong to Azeroth's magic system. It isn't even related to elemental power. Only your mutated mental power and our full-frequency radar can detect it. That's why that lass couldn't sense anything abnormal. It seems that this is why the appearance of a small group of demons has confused the experts of Azeroth."
Indeed, I also felt that this energy gathering method was rather strange. It didn't seem to affect the elemental energy in the surrounding environment at all. I didn't even know where this energy came from. It seemed to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere and gathered together without any reaction with the surrounding energy. This strange energy made me curious. According to common sense, the more powerful the energy, the less stable it would be. Moreover, it would be easier for it to react with other forms of energy. Why did I meet something that didn't play by common sense today?
"It's mutated psionic energy," Sandora explained. "The most common energy in the Xiling Empire is psionic energy that is derived from the decay of void energy. However, this mutated psionic energy isn't commonly used because it is too stable. It requires extremely complicated equipment to make it react. Although its energy efficiency is nearly thirty percent higher than normal psionic energy, due to the complexity of the equipment, this energy is only used in situations that require large amounts of energy and have extremely high energy safety requirements, such as long-distance teleportation!"
Psionic energy … It was impossible for the Burning Legion to control this energy that represented the highest level of technological civilization. In that case, it was obvious where their psionic energy technology came from …
However, I still had some doubts. It was just that I didn't have the time to discuss them in detail.
Distorted shadows appeared in the air. Although Jaina couldn't sense the energy gathering around her, anyone who wasn't blind would be able to tell that something was amiss.
As the distorted ripples in the air became more and more obvious, the Schilling soldiers who were hiding in ambush released their weapons. Then, a bizarre spatial door with a distorted screen of light appeared in front of us.
This was a medium-sized spatial door with a diameter of about ten meters. On the other side of the door, there seemed to be a huge black platform. However, due to the severe distortion of the scene, I couldn't be sure. The instant the spatial door opened, the pungent smell of sulfur assaulted my nostrils again. This time, it was even denser than before. It seemed that the air quality in the home of these demons wasn't very good.
Jaina's face was filled with undisguised shock. She clearly saw such a large spatial door, but she couldn't detect any magical fluctuations at all. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have noticed it even if the spatial door opened right behind her!
How was this possible? Based on the most basic of common sense, the amount of magic needed to open such a large spatial door was astonishing. With such strong magical fluctuations, even if she was on the other side of the continent, she would still be able to vaguely feel it!
That's why it was scary to be uneducated …
Under our expectant gazes, tall and sturdy figures finally walked out of the spatial door and appeared in front of us.
Were these demons?
They were really ugly …
There were exactly fifty prey in front of us. The one leading them was a half-naked, dark-skinned male demon with huge bat wings on his back. He should be the one that Lin Xue had mentioned about, the only one who could fly. Behind this male demon were two three-and-a-half-meter tall Demon Guardians with dark purple skin. These two Demon Guardians seemed to like to show off their muscles. As a typical land battle meat shield, they actually imitated the demon that didn't wear armor in order to ensure their agility in the air. Hmph, this is just right. I'll let your muscles test the destructive power of ballistic weapons!
I carefully observed them. As expected, one of the Demon Guardians had a broken horn on its forehead. It seemed to have been broken by brute force, leaving a jagged fracture. I didn't know who had the strength to actually break the hardest horn on the head of the Demon Guardian, who was known as the king of close combat. With such brute force, I'm afraid that most of the Schilling soldiers wouldn't be a match for this brute force.
In that case, I'll take special care of this Demon Guardian later. I'll just beat him until he can't take care of himself.
The remaining forty or so Demon Guardians were naturally much weaker than the three leaders. However, the murderous aura emanating from their three-meter-tall and heavy armor wasn't weak at all. Demons, as expected, were worthy of their swift and fierce name.
As soon as the fifty Demons left the spatial door, they immediately looked around cautiously. Then, the winged Demon in the lead suddenly shivered.
"… Why do I feel like I'm being stared at by a bunch of perverted gazes?"
What keen observation skills!
Sicaros, who was in charge of the infantry, made a prompt decision and gave the order without hesitation, "Attack!"
The Schilling soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly removed the invisibility system on their bodies. Two hundred individual cannons aimed at the enemies in the center of the encirclement and fired simultaneously!
The Demons were instantly knocked unconscious. They had just come out of the spatial door, and before they could properly observe the situation around them, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of strange warriors that appeared out of thin air. Then, the huge weapons in the hands of these black-armored warriors that they had never seen before roared and spat out powerful tongues of flame, instantly injuring the powerful physical bodies that they were most proud of!
While these Demons were astonished, I was also astonished.
Heavens, is that still a normal physical body? It's practically a f * cking steel plate!
I couldn't be more clear about what the EN-03 individual cannons used by the Schilling soldiers were. These things were known as miniature tank cannons. They were individual equipment that had an overwhelming firepower advantage among light weapons of the same level (the word 'light' was relative to the Schilling soldiers). From the outside, they looked like three six-barreled Vulcan cannons installed on a rotating shaft. However, their caliber was a full two times larger than the Vulcan cannons developed by humans. Moreover, the ammunition they used was also very different from the Vulcan cannons. These fierce-looking treasures could be replaced with dozens of physical or energy warheads, and the firing rate of nearly a thousand bullets per second in their ultimate state made them dazzling in short-range combat. Two hundred EN-03s fired at the same time. Not to mention flesh and blood, even a tank battalion would become a pile of recyclable garbage in a minute. But these fifty Demons actually blocked it?
That's right, they blocked it! Even though their bodies were splattered with blood and looked extremely miserable, none of these Demons actually died. I couldn't help but admire their willpower and battle awareness. They could still maintain the best battle formation under such great pain and calmly enter the battle state. Moreover, in the first round of saturated attacks, they actually all protected their vitals!
Just when I was surprised that the attack of the Schilling soldiers didn't achieve the expected effect, Sicaro suddenly raised his right hand. "Second attack squad, change to titanium alloy Saab bullets!"
What? Changing the warhead in the middle of a battle?
Sandora and I had the same question at the same time. Then, we both looked at the battle loli Pandora, whose face was slightly red from excitement.
The latter immediately answered our doubts with a rare excited tone. "This is to test the lethality of various warheads against the Demons … At the same time, in order to prevent the target from dying before the end of the experiment, we reduced the intensity of the weapons' firepower …"
So that's how it is …
Sandora and I couldn't help but start to sympathize with the Demons who were fixed as targets …
