Chapter 260 The disaster of extinction
"Woo~~~Woo~~~~", the sharp siren sounded through the human race's fortress again. This time the alarm was more urgent than any before, and the volume was sharper. From it, you could feel a clear sense of urgency. , it seems that something serious happened.

According to Parvatiga's time, it was already night. Before leaving, Shuer had told him that he and Moria might not come back until very late, so the people in the fortress were not too anxious, and most of them had already returned to their rooms. After resting, there were only a few high-level mercenaries, each busy with their own affairs.

The alarm alarmed everyone in Parvatiga. Everyone hurriedly poked their heads out of the room and asked each other in surprise, trying to find out the reason for the alarm. Unfortunately, this was in vain, including Dai. No one, including Commander Mia, knew what was going on.

"Keep calm. Everyone goes back to their rooms, packs their belongings, and gathers in the dining room afterward. Be ready to move at any time." Mia is a veteran captain after all. Although her team leadership experience is not as rich as that of Xiure's hometown, it is still enough. To cope with the current situation, "Merity, Duck, you two follow me, let's go to the control room."

"Understood." At this time, Militty would not act unprofessionally. The two mages have been working together for several years, so they naturally know when to fight and when to cooperate tacitly. Now, it is time to cooperate. situation.

"Although we can't understand the language of this world, the performance of Wei's artificial intelligence is still relatively powerful. We should be able to find a way for us to understand the current situation." Mia also experienced artificial intelligence in the past shadow chasing process. Therefore, I know them somewhat, "Yuli, Friesen, Saff, the three of you stay in the living area and adjust the emotions of others. Don't discover the problem before the team itself has collapsed under the pressure, especially you. , Yuri, I know you have this ability."

"I know, I will try my best, but you are just making things difficult for me, an ordinary wingman."

Too lazy to continue discussing the issue of ordinary wingmen, Mia walked quickly towards the control room with a gloomy face and without saying a word. The siren became louder and shriller. Mia walked faster and faster, and her heart became more and more irritable. The lives of the next 33 people weighed heavily on her shoulders.

Although Mia always behaves indifferently, mountain elves are a branch of elves. Like their distant relatives, the proud mountain elves also love life. If she is allowed to watch life pass away one by one, what will she do? If she didn't do it, she wouldn't forgive herself for a long time.

The problem is that this is not an ordinary mercenary adventure or shadow chasing. There are also thirteen non-combatants in the team. In the current world, just a few bugs can jump out and tear these ordinary people without fighting ability apart. The thirteen victims who have died are examples.

This was a situation she had never encountered in her past shadow chasing experience. Mia really didn't have the confidence to protect the safety of these people, so she left the whole thing to the inexperienced Shuuer after entering the alien projection.This is not to shirk responsibility, but to think that Xiure can do better than her. As long as one more ordinary person can survive, it is worth giving up the command.

In fact, Mia doesn't care too much about the deaths of warriors. Since she has chosen this profession and exchanged her life and strength for freedom and money, it is normal to face death. Surviving is lucky. Not coming down is fate, and no one can blame it.But ordinary people are different. They are involved. If possible, the more ordinary people who can be taken out alive, the better.

"While Shuer is away, let me take responsibility again." Mia secretly clenched her fists and silently encouraged herself. The rapid siren gave her an ominous premonition, and she instinctively thought that something was going to happen. Big question, if Shuuer was here now, he should be able to... By the way, why hasn't he come back yet?Could it be that he encountered a problem there?

Unable to stop thinking, Mia almost ran out of the control room. The necromancer behind her seemed to be infected by her friends and enemies, and her usually lazy expression and arrogant posture became tense. Dak, who didn't care about anything, stopped talking nonsense and followed Mia without saying a word. The bloody roses spinning rapidly on his fingertips showed that he was not at peace in his heart.

"Bang", push the door of the control room hard, uh, okay, I didn't push, the door automatically opened to both sides.Even though her heart was already very nervous, Mia was still embarrassed by her own stupidity. With a dry cough, the elf mage pretended that nothing happened, and entered the control room through the automatically opened door.

"Wei." Mia took a deep breath, imitating Xiuer's previous appearance, and pointed to the flashing alarm light on the wall.Sure enough, mages who deal with academics can't compare with priests who deal with secular people. With just a few actions, that guy can pretend to be a superior person who has been in a high position for a long time and gives orders. Well, he should be pretending. Well, it should.

"Pa", Wei, who was already standing on the control platform, responded with the most standard human military salute. The artificial intelligence was very smart. She already knew the problem of language barrier, so she did not try to say anything to the three of them, but spoke directly in front of them. The three-dimensional image was unfolded.

"Hiss, hell." The faces of the three people changed at the same time. In the image, a large insect swarm army had assembled and started to move. In addition to the carpet-like insect swarm on the ground, there were dragonflies and dragonflies on both sides of the team. Another kind of flying bug that looks like an enlarged fly escorts the team. In the middle of the team, there are not only empty jellyfish floating and swimming, but also a kind of flying soldier that is similar in size to a crab shuttles back and forth.Although the types of bugs are different, they always advance at the same speed. The speed is neither urgent nor slow. However, the neat queue has fully demonstrated the momentum of nearly a hundred thousand bugs. If you stand in front of the insect swarm, you don’t even need to fight. Just rely on The momentum of tens of thousands of insect swarms is enough to make the timid tremble and completely lose the courage to fight.

"The second unit has set off." The three of them looked at each other. Meredith licked her lips, feeling her throat was a little dry. "Where is their target? The alarm is so harsh, it can't be us."

"Unfortunately, it is our fortress." Mia sighed and pointed to the translucent map. On the map, a small arrow came from the direction of the insect swarm's mother nest. Although the route was sometimes curved, it was obvious that the target was exactly the same. The location of the fortress.

"It seems that they are preparing to attack." After casually glancing at the image of the insect swarm, Dak, who is familiar with warfare, saw the intention of the insect swarm. "These crab-like things, judging from their mouthparts, they look very... Long and very strong, it attacks with long-range ammunition. The longer the shooting rod, the farther the range, the more powerful it is. Their mouthparts are already longer than their bodies. No other long-range bug can compare with it. I'm afraid this guy's range is exaggerated. , the fortress's firearms are powerless against them. Look at these few, their bellies are big enough, and their speed is very slow. They should be bugs that can attack at super long distances, but similar to trebuchets, whether it is stones or acid in their stomachs, they should be Can destroy fortress defenses from out of range."

"The long-range bugs occupy a small half, and they also bring super long-range troops. There is no other possibility except a strong attack. However, if it were me, I would send two smaller ones from here and here. The troops moved at the same time." Dak walked to the map, clicked his finger on two locations, and drew two arcs, "Finally, the fortress was surrounded from three sides."

"Shua", as if mistakenly thinking that Dark was giving an order, the three-dimensional image was divided into three, and the images of the two positions indicated by Dark were also displayed.

"You are the spy of the insect swarm." The two mages stared at Dak with strange expressions, because as if he saw it with his own eyes, there were indeed two smaller insect swarms and the main force at the location he chose. Keep going at the same speed.

"This is trouble." Dak frowned and thought, "Are they determined to completely eliminate us? Fortunately, in order to cooperate with these siege equipment, the speed of the insect swarm is extremely slow, but we don't know them How long does it take to get to us?"

"Let me ask Wei, I remember Xiu Er introduced that this thing is a popular timer in their world?" Mia searched around, and finally found a round instrument panel on the wall with twelve scales on it. Form a circle.Pointing to the swarm, pointing to the red dot representing one's own base, and finally pointing to the timer on the wall, the elf mage felt that he gradually understood how to communicate with Wei.

"One, six, three, four, two, seven." It turned out to be the pronunciation of numbers in Parvatiga's language. At the same time, the map also showed the numbers of Parvatiga, sixteen, 34, and 27.

"Sixteen hours, 34 minutes and 27 seconds, time is running out." Mia pondered for a moment, patted the console to express her gratitude, pulled Mirity and ran out of the control room as quickly as possible, "I'll make arrangements. As for the actions of others, Dak, you stay and watch the three-dimensional images."

The restaurant in the living area is now in a noisy state. Most people are nervous and whispering among themselves, even the thirteen ordinary mercenaries.No one knew what was going on, but the less they knew, the more nervous they became.

The three high-level mercenaries did not try to calm down the discussion. The ordinary wingmen who looked pampered in high positions knew very well that suppression was the worst option at this time, other than letting their emotions accumulate and eventually explode. , will not have any effect, it is better to let them talk freely and vent their tension. When Mia brings back the exact news, they will naturally become quiet.

Sure enough, when Mia took several deep breaths at the door to calm down and walked into the restaurant calmly, the noisy discussions suddenly disappeared. Everyone looked at Mia intently, and the room was so quiet that even breathing can all be heard.

"Have all your luggage packed? Then everyone, please pay attention and start the final preparations. We are about to take action."
