The scale of the attack this time was obviously different from the previous ones. The second phase of the mechanization project would take another half a year to complete. Unfortunately, time was not on her side. Rita had no choice but to lead the warriors of Iceshen City into battle.
Looking at the endless army of mutants before her, even she felt her scalp tingle. She had not seen an attack of this scale for many years.
"Give the order to defend Iceshen City to the death. All night watchers will go out of the city to face the disaster. The city guards will work with the mechanical creatures and the elemental cannons to defend the frontline. We must keep the mutants outside the city walls."
Rita whispered a few words to the adjutant beside her. She seemed to have thought of something. Before the adjutant left in a hurry, she pulled him back and gave him a new order.
"After the battle begins, if the captain of the garrison dies, the deputy captain will be promoted to captain and continue the battle. If the deputy captain dies, the reserve captain will take his place. If the reserve captain dies, the reserve captain will take his place. If the reserve captain dies, the reserve captain will take his place. If the reserve captain dies, the warrior with the highest reputation will take his place … Until the last person, those who run away will be executed!"
After the order was given, the adjutant's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Commander Rita was going all out this time. He immediately nodded and ran to each base to pass down the order.
This kind of military order was mainly targeted at the city guards who were on the battlefield for the first time. They had just been exiled from the seven continents and still had the bad habit of thinking too highly of themselves. They did not have the resolve to die in battle at the Great Wall of Disaster. If these people were used well, they would be a great help. If they were left to their own devices, they might be more of a hindrance in times of crisis.
After receiving the order, Li Xiang nodded silently and repeated it to the warriors of the Third Garrison Team behind him.
Their expressions were solemn, and none of them raised any objections.
It had only been a few months since Captain Jerao died in battle. The Third Garrison Team had already changed more than ten batches of people. Only Li Xiang, the commander without an army, was still standing strong.
This batch of warriors had gone through the bloody battle with him. They were not inexperienced new recruits, and they were sincerely convinced by him as their captain.
However, looking at the densely packed mutants below the city walls, no one would be able to laugh.
Huang Sha wears golden armor after a hundred battles. Since ancient times, how many people have returned after going on expeditions?
Li Xiang couldn't help but recall a few poems that he had learned in his previous life. A solemn killing intent spread out in the air. He clenched his fists and didn't say anything. He just raised them up high and was the first to charge toward the city wall.
The battle was about to begin.
Mutants swarmed up the Great Wall like a tidal wave. Heavy Origin Cannons fired one after another, causing them to suffer heavy casualties.
But this was nothing compared to the number of xenogeneics that had come this time. The hole created by the explosion was quickly filled by the new xenogeneics.
The first wave of close combat began. In front of the Third Garrison Team's base, a dozen or so city guards were surrounded by hundreds of mutants. They fought with all their might, and the weapons in their hands constantly spat out blazing light. It was as if Origin Substances were free.
The mechanical creature was huge, but as soon as it moved, it was surrounded by hundreds of xenogeneics. In a situation where it was one against a hundred, it was quickly defeated and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The other party had a tactic against mechanical creatures!
Li Xiang glanced at the battlefield and realized this.
Most of the xenogeneics surrounding the mechanical creatures were highly corrosive and resistant to metal. They were the natural enemies of mechanical creatures. They only attacked the mechanical creatures and didn't care about the city guards.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more serious, a piercing sound suddenly rang out in the air. A burning bullet spat out a long string of flames, instantly crossing the battlefield and piercing through a group of xenogeneics that had surrounded a mechanical creature and were biting it.
This bullet greatly reduced the pressure on the base's defenses. The remaining flames continued to burn, and the xenogeneics were so afraid that they didn't dare go forward. It was as if coming into contact with the flames would cause them great pain.
After Li Xiang's casual shot was effective, under the leadership of the vice-captain, the Third Garrison Team members no longer fought on their own. Instead, they gathered together and began to defend in an orderly manner.
The air and the scene in the air twisted and blurred, and two figures, one tall and one thin, appeared. A humanoid monster with twisted and ugly cheeks appeared eerie and terrifying. It floated in the air like a ghost, silent and fast.
This was the lowest level Grade-F Disaster that had just evolved not long ago. It was particularly eye-catching among a bunch of anthropomorphic Disasters. In this invasion, other than the anthropomorphic Disasters that they were familiar with, there was also a large number of normal Disasters under the Ruler's command.
The alliance of the two forces made things worse for Ice Scar City. They didn't know why the Ruler, who had always followed his instincts, was willing to cooperate with these anthropomorphic Disasters. The enemy doubled, which meant that Ice Scar City had the possibility of being destroyed.
The Night Watchers all faced their opponents, and Li Xiang, who had just floated into the air, was also targeted by these two guys.
In just a moment, Li Xiang, who had been in their field of vision just a moment ago, disappeared.
A humanoid monster suddenly let out a shrill scream. Dark magic flames burned beside it, and it shot into the sky like a cannonball.
It was extremely fast, but it was still burned by Li Xiang's Origin Fire.
The other humanoid monster's right hand ignited with magic flames, which turned into a burning sword, and slashed at Li Xiang's head.
This sword was extremely fast, but it was blocked by the red-bladed snake blade the moment it got close to Li Xiang.
Gold and iron clashed, and sparks burst out. In the next second, Li Xiang suddenly pulled out the Paradise of Annihilation and used Purification on the humanoid monster.
The blue light blasted into its body, and the light spread throughout its body and then exploded outwards. It instantly ignited the Origin Fire that Li Xiang had set up around it, and trapped it within.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The humanoid monster's eyes were filled with fear. So these guys also knew fear?
Li Xiang sneered and raised the Paradise of Annihilation again. After the light faded, this Grade-F Disaster that kept roaring non-stop turned into smoke and dust.
It was a one-hit kill, clean and neat.
During these days of fighting at the Great Wall of Disaster, Li Xiang's combat strength had increased at an astonishing rate. Even Rita was surprised by this.
How high was the upper limit of a Level 1 player? In the past, everyone had an idea in their hearts and had their own answers. Even if there were differences, the differences would not be large.
After the White King and the other sages, the recognized peak Level 1 player was Bai Dong Xue. Back then, he had defeated a Level 2 player with the strength of a Level 1 player. He had also fought against a Disaster and defeated a Grade-F Disaster head-on.
This was currently the best combat strength of a Level 1 player in the new era.
As the era progressed, fewer and fewer players came to the Great Wall of Disaster. Many prospective players who passed the player's assessment might not have fought a real Disaster until Level 1, 2, or even 3.
They were always entangled in the internal friction of the human camp, and most of their opponents were players of the same level.
Therefore, there were fewer and fewer references to fighting Disasters. The only thing that was certain was that it was becoming increasingly difficult for players to fight against Disasters of the same level.
But now, Li Xiang's combat strength had far surpassed Bai Dong Xue's at that time.
He had defeated players of a higher level and killed a Grade-E Disaster. He had not simply defeated it, but now he had easily killed a Grade-F Disaster.
He was still getting stronger, which made people feel both surprised and desperate at the same time.
How could the gap between players be so large?
Countless doubts turned into reverence after each battle. Li Xiang had long been used to such gazes. He looked in the direction of the other humanoid monster, his eyes glowing with golden light. The golden gears spun rapidly.
In his field of vision, the humanoid monster left a long trail in the air and went straight into the clouds. Once it ran into the clouds, the traces it left behind would be wiped clean by the turbulence of the void.
"You think you can escape like this?" Li Xiang would never let go of any opponent on the battlefield. If he did not eliminate the root of the problem now, there would be endless trouble in the future.
He leaped, chasing after the trajectory, straight into the clouds.
Don't chase after a cornered enemy? That was nonsense.
With the terrifying recovery rate of a Disaster, as long as it was not killed on the spot, it would appear again in the next bloody battle, again and again until you were exhausted and became food in its mouth.
Even Li Xiang did not dare to compete with these natural warriors in endurance.
Deep in the clouds, the escaping light gradually became clear. He calmly raised Paradise of Annihilation and switched to Shadow Form.
* Bang! *
The light was like a shadow, disappearing in an instant.
Then there was an incomparably shrill scream, and the aura of being annihilated by the light beam.
This was a new battle skill he had recently learned, Shadow Pursuit.
It was best to use Shadow Form after he reached Level 2, that way he would not be dragged down by the powerful consumption, but war would not wait for you to level up slowly. Li Xiang, who was forced to use Shadow Form continuously, gradually adapted to the high consumption.
With the completion of Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost, his understanding of the Magician profession had also increased. As long as he continued to fight like this, he would be able to break through to Level 2 in the near future.
At that time, his assassination tattoo and magic runes would be able to evolve from the basic level to the advanced level, and his strength would have a sizable leap.
The three auras in his body also began a new round of fusion. Just as he had expected, the aura of Chaos, Primordial, and Creation were not his end points, but the starting point of a new round of evolution.
As Li Xiang's strength increased step by step, the three supreme auras began to fuse. The purer dark golden aura had already formed a small cyclone in his body, right next to his heart.
It was not as cunning and domineering as the dark golden aura at the beginning. It was very calm, but extremely powerful. Even the three supreme auras did not dare to approach.
This was the aura of Origin that he had evolved. The jumping black fire source beside him would also be swallowed up.
When the aura of Origin was formed, he would be a level higher. At that time, perhaps he would be able to see a different scenery.
Li Xiang put away Paradise of Annihilation. In order to pursue this fellow, he had gone too deep into the enemy's territory. With his strength, this was very dangerous, and he had to retreat as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to leave, a void crack slowly appeared in his field of vision, attracting his attention.
A slender and elegant Void Battleship floated out, its several long masts fluttering in the wind like dancing feathers.
This type of void battleship was completely different from the ones Li Xiang had seen before.
Void battleships used the floating technology developed by Wessex. They relied on large amounts of steam and Origin Substances to move, so there would definitely be a large airbag or some sort of activation device. However, the battleship in front of him was filled with void energy. It was obvious that it had undergone major modifications.
After activating his Machinery Proficiency, Li Xiang could clearly see the various mechanical structures inside and out of this battleship. He would not have known if he had not seen it, but he was given a fright the moment he saw it!
This big guy was actually powered by void energy!
Those feather-like masts were embedded with countless void crystals, providing the battleship with sufficient energy. Apart from that, there was also a large energy engine inside. Li Xiang had never heard of this kind of technology before.
"Could it be that apart from the two major heavy industries and Wessex, there is also a hidden super machinery company?" Li Xiang could not help but click his tongue. Even with his understanding of machinery, he could not help but admire the unconstrained imagination of the creator of this battleship.
Void drive, why did he not think of it?
Void symbolized time and space. With it as the void, it could greatly increase the speed of a battleship and reduce its energy consumption. It was a level higher than Origin Substance or Steam Drive.
Void crystals were very difficult to obtain, as they were a special product of the void world. However, to the players, it was not something that they could not obtain.
If the New Polar Night could form a void fleet like this, it would definitely obtain a major advantage in future aviation battles.
Where did this void battleship come from?
His curiosity was piqued, especially when it was related to machinery. He ignored the danger and sneaked toward the void battleship.
The interior of the battleship was elegant, luxurious, and beautiful.
The black and gold color scheme, filled with an aristocratic aura, vividly displayed its mystery and nobility. All sorts of exquisite and extravagant decorations decorated the cabin with classical elegance, just like a palace.
"You're here."
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out in his mind.
Li Xiang was shocked, but he could not sense the other party's presence.
For him to be unable to lock onto the other party's position, it was clear that the other party's strength was at least a few levels higher than his own.
He subconsciously intended to fly out of the battleship, but he was stunned by a mechanical door that suddenly opened.
A Gate of the Abyss!
There was actually a Gate of the Abyss on the void battleship!
Could this battleship that was filled with the style of the human camp actually belong to the Disaster camp?
Were those anthropomorphic Disasters already so powerful? They actually possessed technology that was even more advanced than the humans.
No, that was impossible.
If that was the case, then the human camp would have been wiped out long ago.
A thought arose in Li Xiang's mind, and he roughly understood the origin of this void battleship.
"Come, come in, my son."
Lancelot's voice was elegant and pleasant. As his voice fell, the mechanical door of the abyss slowly opened.
As expected, he was still alive.
Or rather, he was still alive with the body of a Disaster.
Before Lancelot died, he was an existence above Level 9. Li Xiang did not have the slightest thought of resisting, so he simply stepped through the door, just in time to see what was so special about this man who was deeply loved by Bai Lili.
There was nothing behind the door, only a throne made of machinery.
Lancelot, who was wearing a suit, sat on the throne. Beside him stood Fei Yujing, who was wearing a black dress, and the phantom of a thousand teeth, who was wearing a white dress.
Lancelot looked at Li Xiang, and suddenly made a sound of surprise.
"Your eyes, you seem to know me?"
This was a very strange perception. He was sure that Li Xiang knew him, had seen him, and knew him.
However, he had clearly died before he was born, and had been lurking in the sea of stars after that, never going to the seven continents.
Where did he see him?
Naturally, Li Xiang had seen him before.
The founder of the tarot cards, the amazingly talented terrorist, the only fool, the only person who could subdue those unruly fellows in the organization.
