Cataclysm King

Chapter 575 Mysterious Attacker

Ten days later.

The sound of artillery fire continued almost day and night.

In the extraordinary world, both mechas and spell cards are very expensive, and artillery is almost the lowest-cost means of long-range attack.

The two sides fought each other across the large plain in front of the Hell's Gate Canyon for ten days and ten nights.

The Oran Royal Court used human wave tactics without fear of casualties, which made the war extremely brutal.

There was already a sea of ​​blood and corpses in front of the Jilan Defense Line. Every day, a large number of cannon fodder turned into cold corpses on the battlefield. Under the reflection of the blood, even the moon in the sky turned into a strange scarlet color.

With such a fierce offensive, the situation on the coalition side is not optimistic.

Even though the coalition forces have the support of many high-tech technologies from the new world, their size is limited after all.

Now the Orlan Royal Court rules the entire Eastern Wilderness, with almost unlimited resources.

In order to resist the invasion of the southern continent in recent years, the production capacity of various war workshops in the East Wilderness has long been maximized.

As time went on, the troops, ammunition, armor, and mechanical cities in the rear of Orlan were gradually sent to the front line, and the battle situation became more and more intense.

"Command, the enemy corps has already attacked below the defense line! The 101 and 109 turret positions are under concentrated attack, requesting reinforcements!"

"Roger that!"

"The 7th and 9th Mechanical Battalions are ready to reinforce and clear the defense line. We must not let them destroy the bunkers."

"Yes!"

"Command, urgent information! We have confirmed that the enemy attacking the city is the Orlan Second Royal Guard Mechanical Corps. There are a large number of God Hunters and top card masters among the enemies. Requesting support."

"General Dong, please lead the New World's First Mechanical Corps to support Position 109!"

"it is good!"

"."

Area 710, in the heart of the mountains of the Kiran Line.

Dong Qi was reloading and maintaining her Titan armor in the mechanical workshop.

The commander's channel's command conversations were played inside and outside the communicator.

During this period of time, Dong Qi almost lived in the mechanical workshop, busy with battles and mechanical modifications every day.

Ji Xun, a non-staff member, was free and unrestrained, so he just stayed in the workshop with Miss Qiqi.

The offensive of the Orlan royal family is getting more and more fierce. The elite legion has already joined the battle. The two sides have fought close to each other many times on the defense line.

There's not much good news in the Commander channel either.

While Ji Xun was studying the newly acquired secret technique of the "Seven Deadly Sins", he was also listening to the battle reports.

Pieces of information gathered in his mind, and were unconsciously sorted and deduced into specific battle scenes.

Hearing the transfer order on the communicator, Dong Qi quickly put on a heavy protective suit and stepped into the cockpit of the Titan armor. At the same time, she called out to Ji Xun, "I'll go there."

"Yeah. Be careful."

Ji Xun nodded.

This is Dong Qi’s third battle in the past two days.

The enemy's elite army needs elite troops to deal with it. The coalition forces do not have the advantage in numbers, so Miss Kiki, the coalition forces' first mechanical warrior, often needs to put out fires.

She also needs actual combat to test the various equipment and practicality of her mecha.

This skirmish was just the right intensity.

It has to be said that in this kind of large-scale and protracted war, mechanical legions have huge advantages over human flesh and blood.

As long as there is enough ammunition and energy, the mechanics can fight for a long time and frequently without feeling tired.

This is particularly evident in Dong Qi's Titan Armor, which can hardly be broken by low-level card masters. At the law level, only card masters above level seven can cause certain damage to the paint.

But the [Golden Ball of Power Gem] used in her armor has almost unlimited energy, which makes her like a mechanical god of war on the battlefield, invincible.

In just these few days, she killed no less than ten enemy hunter armors and hundreds of ordinary armors.

It is almost impossible for a card master to maintain combat effectiveness for a long time in a confrontation of this intensity.

Given the intensity of Dong Qi's battles, if an eighth-level card master had been in charge, he would have died countless times.

After all, the battlefield is just behind the defense line, and the top masters of the coalition forces can provide support at any time. Consumption is a fact, but the danger is not that serious.

Ji Xun was not worried about anything going wrong.

Dong Qi drove the Titan armor out of the workshop, and the display on the table showed her first-person perspective in real time.

Ji Xun was still meditating and practicing in his position, occasionally looking at the battle situation ahead, and the two of them would find time to chat for a while.

A few minutes later, the viewing angle of the display appeared on the battlefield.

Dong Qi was as majestic as ever, driving the Titan armor and clearing out the enemy mechanical warriors who were climbing the rock walls and trying to destroy the artillery positions as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Originally, this was a normal positional attack and defense battle.

It seems that this battle will not have much impact on the Kiran Defense Line except for leaving some corpses.

But looking at that scene, I don’t know what he thought of. Ji Xun suddenly stood up and said to himself: "Forget it, I might as well go and take a look."

Some things cannot be accurately analyzed just from the picture.

You need to actually go to the battlefield to sense some mysterious existence in order to judge the situation more accurately.

Moreover, at his current state, any thought he has is not a whim, but a response to some kind of crisis perception.

Ji Xun never relies on luck.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he took a step forward, stepped into the space crack, and appeared at the front line of the battlefield.

Ji Xun has been replaying the conversation he had with the Light Chaser Jia Yu over the past few days.

If it were just the current situation of the Oran Royal Court, the coalition forces would have a hard time fighting, but it would be hard to say who would win.

The Oran Royal Court is too bloated. If they can't win the battle for a long time, the probability of its collapse is very high.

So according to the current rhythm, Ji Xun feels that the coalition forces may not win, but they are more likely to delay the victory.

But once it came to the "mysterious existence" hidden in the broken history that caused the collapse of Taron, Ji Xun felt that this war became confusing.

He never leaves anything to chance.

Therefore, we have been speculating what the subsequent battle situation would be like if a mysterious force was involved.

When a group of ants fight, regardless of whether they win or lose, the higher-dimensional beings watching usually do not intervene, unless one of the ants is strong enough to threaten the higher-dimensional being.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Da, da, da, da"

The sound of bridge artillery fire was as dense as rain.

Ji Xun appeared on the battlefield.

There was a thick fog in front of me and visibility was low.

But the light and shadow of the giant cannon spewing flames were still clearly visible.

A hundred meters below, a fierce battle was going on on the ground, with huge mechanical armors fighting each other.

Bullets from both sides flew through the air, some of them passing right in front of Ji Xun's eyes.

There are also spider-like mechanical warriors on the rock wall fighting for life and death.

The Oran royal family wanted to destroy the artillery positions on the rock wall, while the coalition forces were defending it.

Ji Xun hid in the fog and no one noticed him.

He looked at the fierce battle in front of him, frowned slightly, and murmured: "The laws of the 'Elemental King' have become so powerful?"

The fog you can see in the picture, but after experiencing it in person, I realized that the situation is worse than it looks.

The mist in the air was created by one of the Seven Lords of the Calamity, Elemental Lord Lagros.

The humid air didn't seem to have much of an impact other than obscuring the field of vision, but the dozen days of war had actually caused great losses.

Ji Xun broke off a piece of rock from the rock wall with his hands and crushed it easily, turning it into powder.

The rock mass has been severely corroded.

And if you look closely, you can see that the coating on the barrel has been corroded and has turned rusty.

Just like the rainy days make humans feel uncomfortable, the erosion of the water element law is pervasive and is constantly destroying the entire Kiran defense line.

But so far, nothing has surprised him.

Not far away, Dong Qi was killing people everywhere. The blue light emitted by the Titan Armor's iconic [Magic City Blade] was particularly conspicuous in the thick fog.

The Titan Armor is almost invincible on the battlefield. The thick armor not only makes the physical and magical defenses reach the extreme, but also has extremely high defense capabilities even against mysterious means such as curses.

In other words, unless the enemy uses the same Titan armor or is a top-level expert, it is basically impossible for her to meet an opponent.

However, now is clearly not the time.

The Oran Royal Court has not yet accumulated enough strength to break through the defense line.

Ji Xun just observed silently, his eyes empty, and had already entered into a state of almost absolute rational reasoning.

I watched it like this for more than half an hour.

Found nothing.

But Ji Xun always felt as if there was a mysterious gaze watching this battlefield.

As time went on, the New World's First Mechanical Corps led by Dong Qi joined the battle and repelled the enemy's attack again as expected.

The battle was about to end.

But suddenly, Ji Xun's eyes lit up, he discovered something, and shouted hurriedly: "Qiqi, be careful!"

Dong Qi, who was fighting fiercely in the distance, heard Ji Xun's reminder on the communicator. Although she didn't understand what happened, the tacit understanding between the two made her not hesitate at all. She pressed the emergency defense button and instantly raised the armor's energy shield to the extreme.

Almost at this moment, with a loud "bang", the Titan armor controlled by Dong Qi seemed to be pulled by a terrifying force, and fell to the ground with a bang, smashing a huge hole in the ground.

"really!"

Ji Xun's eyes narrowed.

Someone wants to ambush and kill Dong Qi!

What surprised Ji Xun was that the enemy attacked so quickly that even he couldn't see clearly.

It's not just that the vision is blurred, but more importantly, the enemy's "qi" cannot be sensed!
On the contrary, the moment his aura was exposed, that needle-like sense of murderous intent disappeared instantly.

Ji Xun searched with his eyes, trying to catch the enemy who attacked.

But obviously, it has slipped away.

Seeing this, although Ji Xun did not catch the enemy, he thought of something in his mind: "Such a strong perception ability is definitely not something that ordinary humans can achieve. Is it divine power?"

He himself practiced the secret cultivation method of Emperor Lanlingster, "My Heart is the Universe", which can temper the divine power. And the divine power is the strongest crisis perception ability.

The enemy hiding in the dark just now was able to have such an alert perception ability, and Ji Xun felt that the strength of his divine power was even greater than his own!
In an instant, the target in Ji Xun's mind narrowed rapidly.

There are indeed many powerful people with such strength in the Southern Continent.

But there are not many in Eastern Wilderness.

"Could it be those three Outer Gods? That's not right. Even if they came, they wouldn't dare to show up."

Ji Xun's face was filled with a serious expression of deep thought.

If something really happened to Dong Qi, the "first mechanic", it would have a huge impact on the morale of the entire coalition forces.

It looked like the other party was only here to behead people, and had no intention of exposing themselves to a decisive battle, so they slipped away as soon as they realized they were being targeted.

In other words, that guy still has the ability to move freely in front of the coalition forces.

Ji Xun searched all the information in his mind, but did not find any matching target.

At this time, Dong Qi also responded immediately: "I'm fine."

Ji Xun responded: "Yeah."

Just at this moment, a large-scale cluster of mechanical roars suddenly appeared on the other side of the canyon.

A notice from the headquarters came over the communicator: "Commander Carter of the Alliance Army is here to reinforce!"

This new wave of mechanical troops joined the battlefield and instantly repelled the enemy's attack.

Since the people of the Oran Royal Court are preparing for a decisive battle, they are certainly not completely unprepared.

The Allied Forces that have established a foothold in the Old World are the most important opponents that Orlan must contain.

The main force of the Alliance Army is the Lionheart Family, which was once the first warlord of the Federation. Not to mention the top combat power, if we really talk about military strength, the Oran Royal Court really can't do anything to the Alliance Army now.

So King Arthur sold the information about the alliance army to the lords of the southern continent, hoping to contain them.

Now the Allied forces are being surrounded and attacked everywhere in the Old World, and Catalina is in command there.

Until today, she had just arrived from the Old World.

At the same time, it brought tens of thousands of elite mechanical warriors.

With Catalina's arrival, the top leaders of the coalition forces held another emergency meeting.

But Ji Xun and Dong Qi did not attend.

In the 710 workshop.

The two men looked at the Titan Armor in front of them, whose back armor plate was dented, and fell into deep thought.

You should know that Dong Qi has participated in many high-intensity battles driving the Titan armor, but the biggest damage was mostly the coating being melted by artillery fire.

This was the first time that the main body of the Titan Armor was deformed by an attack.

Although it was not a serious matter, you have to know that the alloy armor on the back of the Titan Armor is the hardest plate armor in the entire armor, enough to withstand the head-on collision of an adult dragon. How could it be dented by external force?

And if Ji Xun hadn't reminded me before, it might not be as simple as a depression.

"The shock wave ignored the gravity field around my armor and hit the armor's protective plate directly."

"Did the life instrument capture data on the target?"

"I sensed it, but the target was so fast that it disappeared in a flash. The data also seemed to be interfered with, and it's all garbled. I'll fix it later and see if I can get some useful data."

"Ah."

"."

Ji Xun carefully inquired about some details, although Dong Qi and the armor's sensing instruments did not capture the assassin.

But he got a very crucial piece of information from it.

The most important magic shield of the Titan Armor is the "energy black shield" driven by gravity created by the [Golden Ball of Power Gem], which is essentially a special distorted space.

This is an energy shield that can defend against almost all elements and physical means, and there is almost no possibility of being restrained.

However, according to Dong Qi's description just now, the enemy completely ignored the obstruction of the black shield and hit the mecha directly.

Others may not understand.

But Ji Xun knew why!
Because he can do it himself!
He is proficient in the mysterious magic of "Attracting the Fall of the Gods", so he can ignore the distorted space to a certain extent.

However, the black shield law on the Titan armor is at a very high level, and even Ji Xun cannot completely ignore it now.

In other words, the enemy's understanding of "gravity" is even better than Ji Xun's.

Combining all the previous situations, Ji Xun only thought of one possibility.

That is the person that even Jia Yu is so secretive about.

"Can 'that person' appear only after the Seven Calamity Lords revive? So that's how it is."

Ji Xun muttered to himself.

But this cannot be said, and even any speculation cannot be mentioned.

Until we are able to calmly deal with those uncertain situations, the safest option is to let "that person" feel that He is still unknown.

Seeing Ji Xun lost in thought, Dong Qi asked, "What did you think of?"

Ji Xun glanced at her and said, "Nothing."

Dong Qi was slightly startled when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions: "Oh."

She knew from the tacit understanding between the two that Ji Xun must have thought of something, but since he didn't say it, she wouldn't ask.

When she was with Ji Xun, Miss Qiqi always liked to be lazy about the questions that required her to think hard. "Then you take your time to think about it. I'm going to go and repair the armor."

Turning around, she started to tinker with repairing the armor.

Ji Xun looked at Xiaoxiao, his eyes fixed on the dented protective plate, his thoughts racing.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door of the engine room, and a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Is Qiqi there?"

When Dong Qi heard this, he said with joy, "It's Miss Carter!"

She quickly took off her greasy gloves and ran to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, they saw Katarina with cascading blonde hair, looking at them with a smile.

The young lady from the Lionheart family certainly knew that there were two people in the room, but she pretended to have just noticed and said with a smile: "Oh, Ji Xun is here too."

As she spoke, she looked at Dong Qi with a teasing look in her eyes, "Isn't it bothering you guys?"

Dong Qi's personality would never make her shy about such teasing. Even if she was caught red-handed, she would remain calm.

She chuckled, "Of course not. But it's a good thing you're here."

As he said this, he invited people into the room.

The three of them were already very familiar with each other, and Catalina didn't consider herself a guest at all.

She walked straight to the sofa.

Ji Xun also stretched out his hands and gave this old friend, whom he hadn't seen for a while, a warm hug: "Long time no see. Did you have a smooth journey?"

The majesty of the Allied Commander-in-Chief in front of outsiders faded from Catalina's pretty face, leaving only a gentle smile, "We encountered a little trouble. But overall it went smoothly."

After all, the three of them had slept in the same bed before, and they had seen all kinds of scenes. Dong Qi was not surprised by Katarina's cuddly attitude. She said loudly, "Miss Carter, you guys chat first. There is something wrong with my mecha. I will fix it first."

Catalina didn't feel embarrassed and said, "It just so happens that I brought a lot of Titan parts produced by the workshop this time. See if there are any that can be used."

Ji Xun had previously seized the production line and blueprints of the Titan Armor, and the New World was also working overtime to produce it.

Although the finished Titan armor has not yet been produced, a batch of accessories and consumables required for the battle have been produced because we know that the front line needs it.

Dong Qi was delighted when he heard this, "Ah?"

Just at this moment the mechanical conveyor belt started moving, and several large mechanical boxes came down from upstairs.

Dong Qi walked over and opened the box. He was surprised when he saw it and said, "Haha, now I don't have to worry about not being able to resupply my accessories during the battle. Miss Carter really gave me a big surprise."

As he said this, he blew her an intimate kiss.

"Ah."

Katerina smiled.

Ji Xun noticed the fatigue on her pretty face. She had been traveling all the way and hadn’t rested yet, so he asked her to sit down. “Did you get attacked on the road?”

Catalina sat next to Ji Xun and nodded, "Yes. The people of the Oran Royal Court got the information from somewhere and sent a team of elite soldiers to intercept us. But it's not a big problem, it's all solved."

Now the main forces of both sides are tied down in the Hell's Gate Canyon, but the situation in other places is not peaceful, and various small-scale infiltrations and exchanges of fire are occurring frequently.

Ji Xun didn't find it strange.

But when he heard the news, something else came to his mind: the Silver Moon Sect had also taken the bait.

Then, Catalina added: "I just talked with Miss Chujiu and the others. The battle situation here does not seem optimistic. Fortunately, I am not too late."

Ji Xun also said: "Yes. The Oran Royal Court has sacrificed nearly a million people during this period, and the power of several foreign gods has been almost accumulated. It should be that there will be a big move soon."

"."

Catalina's expression became slightly serious when she heard this.

However, she knew that Ji Xun had an outstanding ability to control the overall situation and did not need further explanation.

There is no need to repeat what we just discussed in the meeting.

She turned around and looked at Ji Xun. The solemnity in her eyes disappeared. Her eyes sparkled and she smiled sweetly, "We've talked enough about serious matters just now. Can we talk about something lighter?"

Ji Xun raised his eyes to look at that beautiful face: "Oh? For example?"

Catalina asked directly: "For example, did you miss me?"

Without outsiders present, the young lady from the Lionheart family would not be reserved.

Ji Xun smiled and put his arm around her slender waist, his hands were not polite: "Of course."

Catalina didn't feel bad. After a long separation, this kind of intimate contact would make people very happy. She said, "Miss Alice sent some more [Dragon Root Wine], and I brought it to you too."

As he said this, he seemed to sense that Ji Xun was in good condition, and teased, "But it seems that Miss Qiqi has taken good care of you. Your distortion condition is better than expected."

Ji Xun didn't say anything, just smiled and said nothing.

However, Dong Qi, who was enjoying the joy of unpacking a box not far away, heard this, tilted his head to glance at the two of them, smiled and said, "It's not just my credit. Miss Nan also helped a lot. Hahahaha."

Catalina listened to the teasing smile and laughed quickly, "I told you. Miss Xiaonan is really pretty and kind to you. You must be very happy to get along with her."

But even though she was talking about others, she was not shy. She turned over and sat in Ji Xun's arms, teasing intimately: "Right, Mr. Ji Xun?"

Ji Xun hugged the white jade lion-like girl, and gently touched a strand of hair on her temple with his fingertips, and smiled softly: "Yes. And Qiqi, and the beautiful Miss Carter."
