Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 553 The balance of victory tilts (thanks to Luo Sisi for being the leader~)

The situation of the competition gradually became clear. After the two singers left the stage, the remaining four singers were roughly divided into two camps, namely Orlese Prin and Odney Tilan.

After eliminating interference from other people, the two camps began to fight.

Central area, garnet hills.

There is a special kind of mineral in the mountains here. When you smash it open, you will see many dark gold reflective spots inside, just like pomegranate seeds.

Giant eagles with snow-white wings spread swooped down from the sky, getting closer and closer to the anti-aircraft machine gun towers on the ground. During the journey, bullets opened up the surface of the giant eagles, but most of them were deflected by the hard feathers. Only a few penetrated into the eagles, leaving some blood.

When they got close, the members on the back of the giant eagle jumped down and approached the firing machine gun towers at an extremely fast speed. Then a silver sword light flashed, and in just a few seconds, they were destroyed.

After suspending the anti-aircraft firepower, three transport planes dropped from the sky and released a number of bionic mantis-like autonomous units. They were slender, with three pairs of legs, sharp downward-pressing double knives, highly flexible compound eyes with no blind spots, silver bodies, and extremely light. The tips of their limbs were like needle tips, and they could adapt to various terrains and were aggressive.

These bionic mantis-like autonomous units easily cut a hole in the top of the stronghold with their sharp silver blades, then jumped down and rushed inside. Soon, the sound of violent shooting and explosions were heard from the stronghold.

inside of.

The sound of bullets flying continued as these "praying mantises" advanced at an extremely fast speed facing the firepower of the guards. Any automatic defense towers and guard robots they passed by were easily cut into pieces by them.

Faced with this situation, the members stationed in the stronghold hurriedly closed all the gates to prevent the advancement of these "praying mantises" and delay time.

"Emergency help, northern R3 area, base 5 is under attack and is about to fall, requesting assistance--"

In the command room at the bottom, members of the Odni Cluster looked at the area on the screen that was quickly turning red, feeling anxious.

"Headquarters received the message. The support team has already set out. Please hold on for five minutes."

……

"What's supposed to come has finally come."

At the headquarters in the central area, Odney looked at the front-line scenes playing on the big screen and felt emotional.

"I originally thought that Pulin would make the first move, but I didn't expect that it would be Orles's side that started first."

……

In the bottom floor of Stronghold No. 5, fierce street fighting took place.

The silver streamlined mantis moved forward at a rapid speed, and the thrusters on its back sprayed out snow-white high-temperature tail streams, allowing it to use its six limbs to bounce and leap in space while moving at high speed, constantly avoiding shots from all directions.

"呲-"

The sharp blade flashed and split the beam blocking the road. The combat members who were providing cover below threw away their guns, drew their lightsabers, and rushed forward.

The light pink and white lightsaber blocked the downward sharp blade of the 'Mantis'. Particles flew on the contact surface and wisps of green smoke floated up. Then the 2-meter-tall 'Mantis' jumped back several meters, temporarily avoiding the stalemate with the lightsaber.

"It seems that the lightsaber is still a threat to them." A member in a white uniform whispered. Beside him were three companions, all of whom were members of the star cluster to which Odni belonged.

"It's difficult for bullets to hit these guys moving at high speeds, and their bodies are made of some special alloy. Unless you hit a single point with firepower, it's difficult to cause significant damage with just a few bullets."

"Which company produced these guys? To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such autonomous weapons. They're like exquisite and cold killing machines."

"See the snowflake-like octagonal blade icon on their abdomen? This means they are products of the giant company 'Reaper'."

"This company never advertises, but people in the industry know that they have always been masters in the field of killing, and the authorities have commissioned them to produce military autonomous units many times."

"This competition is sponsored by a number of military companies. Some exchange tables will only appear after occupying special bases. I guess Orles has obtained the base representing the Harvester company."

While several members were communicating quickly, the Silver Mantis on the opposite side took action again. The boosters on its back were all opened, and the armor on the sides of its body was lifted up like scales. At a distance of more than ten meters, several people could even see the internal structure and components of the mantis through the gaps.

Just when a few people were wondering why the other party suddenly opened the armored blades, a burst of orange-red light flowed rapidly in the mantis's body, and then complex patterns were imprinted on its body surface and activated. The entire mantis's body was covered with this strange pattern, making it look particularly hideous and ferocious, far from the previous silver streamlined artistic sense.

"Whoosh——" Countless white air currents were discharged from the gaps between the opened armor plates, and a faint burnt smell spread in the air.

Then the mantis moved, passing by the sides of several people at a speed as fast as a phantom, and the strong wind it brought made people's cheeks hurt, but before they could turn around, the mantis used the wall behind them to jump, and two long and narrow arcs of blood tore through the alley, through which even the faint white bones and beating internal organs could be seen.

Two of the four members who were defending the group were nearly killed and eliminated on the spot. After the other two reacted, they rolled rapidly on the ground, waving their lightsabers to block the six legs that were trampling like a storm. The sharp toes left holes in the ground like spears, and they kept chasing the two men. Then the silver blades flashed again, drawing a high-speed silver arc trajectory in the air.

The two men had their eyes wide open at this moment, not daring to close them for a moment. The swords in their hands and the movements of their bodies were in the highest state of response. The sense of pain was temporarily blocked, just to welcome this fight between death and life.

Within a few seconds, sparks from the continuous collisions burst out in the alley, and the walls and the ground were covered with charred scratches.

Finally, due to overheating and energy loss, the mantis's reactions were no longer agile, and more and more burnt smells overflowed from the gaps between the scales on the sides of its body.

"Swish--" a teeth-grinding sound of metal tearing was heard, and a member came behind the 'Mantis', inserted the lightsaber in his hand into the gap between the armor plates, and then tore it apart with all his strength. Violent sparks and explosions burst out from inside the Mantis.

Soon, the mantis's head lost its brightness, and its various parts shut down and fell to the ground.

Looking at the Mantis autonomous unit that had stopped moving but was still filled with smoke and a burning smell, the two men were still frightened. They then gave it another blow, cutting off its head, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

“It’s horrible.”

"With this kind of speed and explosive power, ordinary Sequence 6 Beyonders would be killed instantly."

"A terrifying killing weapon." In the sky outside the stronghold, the support troops from Odney's side began to fight with Orles's attackers. On one side were soaring giant eagles and ice and snow spellcasters, and on the other side were members on shuttles and hundreds of white-wing fighters flying high in the sky.

"Honghu Secret Teachings: Huanlong Cloud Shadow Formation."

Several members with black hair and wearing shrine maiden costumes jumped down from the shuttle. They gradually slowed down in the air, and then the tin staffs in their hands rang like a large group of wind chimes.

Soon, a light white mist covered the sky, like descending clouds. In the next half minute, the white mist expanded rapidly, completely covering the sky and earth within a radius of several kilometers.

The members of the Orles Cluster riding on the giant eagle were trapped in the clouds, their senses were blocked, and even the electronic signals were severely interfered, making it impossible for them to communicate. Just as they were preparing to increase their altitude as much as possible and leave this area, a series of subtle sounds of breaking through the air were heard from the clouds.

"This is?"

One of the members felt a chill on his cheek, and when he touched it, he felt a pain, and then his hands were covered in blood.

In the clouds and mist, tiny silver-scale flying fish shuttled back and forth. The thorny fins on their backs were like saw teeth, reflecting a faint cold light. These guys were particularly adapted to this kind of foggy environment. Not only were they not disturbed, but they could also use this kind of fog to move at high speed, making it difficult for their blind enemies to defend themselves.

As a result, a series of strangulations occurred in the clouds, and many members fell from the sky covered in blood before they could even cry for help.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the remaining personnel, with the help of the ice fragments, continued to fly upwards and finally broke out of the thick clouds. When they saw the bright sun in the sky, they also saw the white-winged fighter planes circling around the solar halo.

Hundreds of white-wing fighter planes were looking down at the tiny dots of ants below from high in the sky, and then bright laser beams were concentrated on them. These members that broke out of the clouds were ignited in the air like fireworks, and fell back into the thick and windless clouds.

Inside the stronghold, the silver 'mantises' tore through the last line of defense and chopped down the last stubborn resister in the stronghold. Soon the central AI in the stronghold was destroyed by these 'mantises', and the facilities in the entire stronghold were paralyzed.

Although Odney's side won a great victory in the battle in the sky, the battle in the stronghold was a complete failure. From the loss of supplies and points, Odney suffered more, but from the number of people leaving the field, Ores suffered more.

However, war is always full of intrigues. Just when Odney received news from the front line and thought that the "praying mantis" in the stronghold was about to be strangled, a rapid alarm sounded above her head.

[Warning, a large number of unidentified heat sources are approaching, initially determined to be enemy vehicles. Personnel in the base please be prepared to respond.] The voice synthesized by the AI ​​is always cold.

In the distant sky, several crimson comets were descending with long tails of flame. In order to avoid being detected by Odney in advance, Prin's people adopted a surprise attack from ultra-high altitude to avoid various detection units distributed on the ground.

……

"This high-altitude attack is really fascinating and never boring."

Standing on the landing capsule, Pulin held the handle with one hand, wearing goggles on her face, overlooking the increasingly clear earth below. Her hair was flying wildly at the back of her head. She felt the heat of the air flow and the speed of the wind, and unprecedented excitement filled her heart.

It's certainly not the safest way to land, but it's undoubtedly her favorite way to exit.

"I will descend like fire from heaven, burning everything in the world..." The words from the ancient legend rang in his ears. Pulin let go of the handle and completely immersed himself in the turbulent airflow.

With a slight bang, transparent red flames enveloped her. The petite singer closed her eyes in the air and sang a rising song until the whole sky was illuminated by the red glow.

At this point, she raised one hand, with her index finger pointing straight up to the sky.

There was an obvious flare and brightness at the top of the sky, followed by a huge, boiling crimson stream of light that passed through the atmosphere, passed by Pulin not far from her side, and shot into the ground below.

This dazzling and blazing stream of light was clearly visible within a radius of tens of kilometers. It burned through the atmosphere and poured down on the mountain. The overflowing air waves and fire streams spread in all directions, engulfing thousands of meters of forest trees in less than a few seconds. In the center of the fire stream, a huge, hot, dark red pit appeared. The melted metal and concrete layers inside were still emitting white smoke, and the air was a little distorted.

The originally impregnable strongholds and protective layers were penetrated in a few seconds, and the fragile parts inside were directly exposed. Although Odney still controlled many strongholds and had a lot of combat power outside, at this moment, when she looked up at the rapidly falling red comet in the sky, she still felt powerless and fragile.

Is it over yet, she couldn't help but wonder.

At this time, the interior of the stronghold was empty, and the remaining personnel were unable to resist Pulin and others who were out in full force. There was no defense line that could delay time, and being defeated and eliminated was almost inevitable.

There was no time to think. Just as she gathered the remaining members to seal the gap and prepare for battle, the falling "comets" had already smashed through the remaining protective layer like artillery shells. Then the hatch opened, and members in red uniforms rushed out one by one. The sounds of shooting and explosions rang out everywhere in the base.

The autonomous units and defensive machine gun towers inside the stronghold were activated, firing continuously to stop the attacks of the red-clad members. However, the enemy's numbers were too large, and they attacked from multiple positions, constantly breaking through and cutting off the lines inside the stronghold.

In just a few minutes, all the manpower in the stronghold was wiped out.

Surrounded by the crowd, Pulin, wearing a red hooded cloak, walked out slowly, and her small boots stepped on the steel grid floor, making a crisp echoing sound.

After passing through the crowd, the singer with caramel hair and fiery red eyes stopped and looked at the "white swan" Odney who was trapped in a dead corner.

At this moment, Odney was leaning against the wall, holding her injured arm. There were only two members holding shields and guns beside her. Her originally beautiful long hair was now a little burnt, and there were many dust marks on her face.

"You look so miserable, Audrey." Prin did not move closer, but turned and walked to the other side, where was the main control platform of the base.

"Actually, I don't want to bully you. It's just that we happened to meet each other again." She looked at the message for help that had just been sent on the platform without turning her head.

"It's still too slow. It's too late to send a call for help now."

She pressed her hand on the identity verification light panel on the platform, and the red-clothed member beside her helped her unlock the secret lock of the main control AI. With a slight sound, the system began to restart.

[The ownership of the base has begun to change. The current owner with the highest authority is: Pulin Aiko]
……

On the 10th day of the competition, Orles and Odney fought, and both sides suffered injuries. When the fight was at its peak, Prinn led the members of her star cluster to raid Odney's base, defeated the opponent, and eliminated the singer on the spot.

At this point, there are only three singers left in the competition, and the two singers who have joined forces have already controlled nearly 5/6 of the strongholds. The only remaining resister, Heshia Tilan, only owns a few strongholds in the southern area.

The balance has completely tilted to one side, as if the fruits of victory are about to fall.
