Cataclysm King.

Chapter 545: Poker Game: Cheating with Flower Cards

"Suppress with all firepower! The vanguard team of Group A can block the next wave of dragon breath. Be sure to preserve the strength of the Hunting God team."

"The acidic magic pattern resistance of the heavy armor shields of Pioneer Group A has been corroded by 27%. Execute the command to change defense and equipment; Pioneer Group B is on top."

"Be careful, the target has released the poisonous field, the magic energy barrier has been opened, and the pharmaceutical team has released the poison neutralizer."

"The bait of the sharp sword armor team's battle damage of 13% has been thrown out, execute plan C! The magic dragon hunting crossbow is ready to be launched!"

"The sharp knife team is ready to attack, and the anti-matter artillery is always ready"

"."

The command room has a communication station that connects hundreds of mechanical armors.

Various real-time combat instructions are sent out through the staff in the command room.

Katarina had carefully discussed these tactics with Ji Xun before.

Many of them were suggestions put forward by Ji Xun, which was nothing unexpected.

Those who participated in the battle were all elite members of the Allied Forces. Even when faced with an eighth-level dragonborn they had never seen before, no one flinched.

The commands can be executed almost 100% without any errors.

Although the battle was fierce, in Ji Xun's eyes, if the enemy had no unexpected means, the result would be doomed if the fight continued like this.

After all, the mechanical army can withstand the first wave of the most violent offensive, and the rest will be a war of attrition.

Regardless of the domain or dragon's breath, it is the "ultimate move" of the Dragonborn Card Master after his transformation.

Although the attack damage is very high.

But it also consumes a lot of mana.

It's true that "Poison Scythe" Zoras is at the eighth level, but not everyone has the magic and mystery of "Gluttony" like Ji Xun.

The power of the spell is limited.

If you fail to use Dragon Breath to break through the defensive formation of the mechanical armor legion, this ultimate move cannot be used all the time. The more you fight, the weaker it will become.

The mechanical equipment can be replaced.

Just like the poison-resistant mechanical shields specially prepared for this ambush, each person was equipped with several.

If it is corroded, replace it and you can continue to fight.

Although mechanical battle armor will also have overload and energy problems, as long as the tactics are properly coordinated, the defense change interval can be used to replace accessories to restore combat effectiveness.

This is the horror of the mechanical army.

These hundreds of mechanical armors are hundreds of individuals, but they are also a whole.

Once the legion's battle formation cannot be broken, it will be as unstoppable as a torrent of steel.

In the sky, the strange reddish-brown dragon became more and more angry as it fought, but there was nothing the mechanical army could do.

"Poison Scythe" Zolas has never fought such a frustrating battle. It seems that those guys' methods are all aimed at restraining himself, and any of his methods feels like hitting cotton with no strength.

He couldn't understand. He was obviously here to deal with the natives of the Eastern Wasteland, and he thought it was a grass-cutting battle without any suspense.

How could it be like this?

He, the leader, couldn't understand it, and the mercenaries of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Corps couldn't understand it even more.

Facing the concentrated fire of countless magic artillery pieces from the mechanical legion, the seventh- and eighth-level card masters could still rely on their powerful strength to resist.

But those low-level card masters are completely living targets.

In the face of the terrifying firepower of the Alliance Army, the ancient magic equipment of the Southern Continent was as fragile as a piece of paper.

At this moment, Death seemed to come personally on the battlefield. Under the wave of an invisible black scythe, the corpse fell down like wheat.

However, the core of the entire battlefield is to surround and kill the eighth-level "Poison Scythe" Zoras.

In the huge camp, the green poisonous gas was so strong that it was impossible to see anything.

This is Zolas's poisonous realm.

For normal human card masters in this field, not to mention seeing objects, they will turn into a pool of blood in an instant.

The senses of the mechanical armor are completely unrestricted.

Although invisible, the location of the target was clearly displayed on the mechanics' helmets.

Thermal imaging and life detection technology expose target movements.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Hundreds of demon-destroying rune chains [Mechanical Dragon Hunting Spear] shot out from the steam-powered jet device that had been charged for a long time.

Although steam machinery has energy storage time, it does not have the obvious forward swing movement like human movements, and the launch is rapid and stealthy.

Although Zolas, who transformed into a dragon form, gained a powerful physical body, his dodge ability was greatly limited.

Hundreds of steel cables accurately stabbed the strange dragon with a wingspan of more than ten meters in the sky.

Although they heard a burst of flashing sounds of "Keng", "Keng" and "Keng", everyone in the command post knew that they could not break through the defense.

But no one cared.

Because the "booklet" has long said that a dragon hunting spear of this level cannot hurt an eighth-level dragonborn.

The actual function of the steel rope is to bind!

The strange dragon was caught off guard and its huge body was trapped by the steel cable.

Although he used dragon breath spray to corrode and break several steel cables around his neck, at that moment, the second and third batch of steel cables struck again.

After several rounds of steam boiler deflation sounds, the strange dragons in the sky had been tightly bound by hundreds of mechanical steel cables, and their number was increasing.

Like a bird in an iron cage, unable to move forward or retreat.

Although Zoras, the "Poison Scythe", was furious and kept breathing dragon breath and breaking the steel cables, this was the tactic of the Alliance.

Just to force him to use dragon breath constantly to consume his spell power.

To deal with the eighth-level dragonborn, if you don't have the ability to kill quickly, you can only consume them.

Just like prey caught in a hunter's trap, the best time to catch it is when the prey is exhausted.

After struggling for a long time, the strange dragon finally realized that he could not escape. His body suddenly became smaller and he returned to his human form.

The steel rope fell, and Zoras released several spell cards towards the camp.

But before the toxin tornado swept over, the well-prepared mechanics had already raised their shields.

At the same time, countless magic cannons also fired away.

Although it cannot break through the defense, to defend against such a dense artillery fire, the enemy also needs to consume a huge amount of mana power.

And after transforming back into human form, thirty Hunter God armors also started close combat with tacit cooperation.

"Poison Scythe" Zoras is a magic card master, and his physical body is also a weakness.

Once you get close to those steel monsters, you will still be in a very embarrassed state.

Although the Hunter God Armor cannot break through his protective field for a while, this is a protracted battle.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang"

"."

In the huge camp, the battle between the two sides suddenly came to a stalemate.

Intense and tragic.

The Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group was ordered to encircle and suppress the natives of the Eastern Wilderness this time. Almost the entire army of the thousands of people in the fortress was dispatched.

And they thought they could win easily, so their tactics were very aggressive.

When the regiment leader Zolas broke into the camp, thousands of people almost immediately plunged into the trap that the Alliance Army had laid long ago.

Facing an almost endless outpouring of ammunition, the number of people at this moment is just a number to measure casualties.

Fighting was happening everywhere in the huge camp and in every passage.

There were casualties on both sides.

But the mercenaries' side was full of flesh and blood, while the Alliance army's side mostly lost mechanical equipment.

In the command room, the senior leaders of the Alliance Army looked at the battle situation projected on the imaging crystal, all with extremely serious expressions.

But there was more and more intense expectation in everyone's eyes.

From the beginning to now, this battle was almost as expected by them.

This battle is of great significance.

Not only does it give everyone in the Alliance Army confidence, letting them know that machines can also kill top card masters, but more importantly, it will give the Alliance Army a long period of stability in the future.

Nowadays, those who open up wasteland are basically mercenaries. If large mercenary groups like the "Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group" were to be destroyed, other mercenaries would definitely be cautious.

Even Duke Simon must be cautious.

Now that the three major kingdoms in the Southern Continent are civil war and have no interest in coming to the Old Continent, Duke Simon's Palace is already considered the top force among the pioneering nobles.

The Central Continent is very large, and it is all about wealth. There is no need to fight with the Alliance Army, which gives other hostile nobles the opportunity to sneak in.

In the command room, the anxiety in Catalina's heart finally dissipated at this moment.

Looking at the flashing data on various instruments, a look of relief appeared in her eyes.

Although some costs were paid, this actual battle is of great significance to the future.

Just like "Longwei" can use instruments to evaluate energy levels, things like "field" and "eighth order law intensity" can also be digitized.

A large amount of data was collected in this battle, which means that future mechanical equipment can be based on this data as a reference to produce equipment with corresponding strength.

Even if there is no strong support like Ji Xun in the future, the alliance army will still have confidence to face the eighth level.

Thinking of this, Catalina glanced at the only guy in the entire command post who was still sitting leisurely on a chair.

The two made eye contact and smiled at each other.

Ji Xun said, "If we fight for a while longer, that guy will run away. I'm ready to take action, and your secret weapon is also ready."

Catalina didn't say much and nodded: "Yes."

I didn't know what the eighth-level card master's combat power was before, so all the tactical arrangements were just deductions.

Now that they have witnessed the horror of the eighth level with their own eyes, everyone knows that the Hunter God Armor cannot kill the "Poison Scythe" Zolas.

At least if the enemy wants to escape, there is nothing they can do to stop them.

If Ji Xun was not there, Catalina might plan to use a "secret weapon" to make a sneak attack. Although the probability of killing was not high, it could at least injure. But in that case, if the weapon is exposed and not killed, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

Fortunately, there is strong support.

Catalina looked at Ji Xun who stood up from the chair and instinctively reminded him: "Be careful."

Ji Xun shook his head and chuckled.

From beginning to end, the eighth level posed no threat to him.

But seeing the concern in Catalina's crystal eyes, he responded: "Yes."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and walked through the crack in space in front of him.

The generals and staff in the command room looked at this method of walking in the void, and their eyes twitched.

Ji Xun's power can be glimpsed in his every move.

Ji Xun left the command post and appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the camp.

The surroundings were filled with thick yellow-green poison, but it had almost no effect on his current state.

The fighting on the battlefield was still very fierce.

Although "Poison Scythe" Zolas must have known that he was in trouble this time, he was an eighth-level powerhouse after all, and he had to have his own dignity.

There is absolutely no benefit to be gained from fighting with these tough guys, but if you just run away in despair, what will your team members think?

And what does your employer, Duke Simon, think?

Zolas thought that he had figured out the upper limit of these mechanical armors anyway. They couldn't kill him, so he might as well destroy more mechas.

At least when the follow-up troops come to take stock of the battlefield, they can see how brutal the battle was.

He could also say that it was because these indigenous mechas exceeded their intelligence too much, rather than because he was not strong enough.

At the same time, it can also protect some of his confidants from evacuating first.

In this way, the fighting continued for a long time.

Ji Xun looked at it for a while, the laws of war appeared in his eyes, and the deduction in his mind was almost completely performed in front of his eyes.

But he didn't want the Dragon Winged Viper mercenary group to escape either.

But any mercenary who appears in the camp is unlikely to be left alive.

Ji Xun didn't want to take action himself.

All he has to do is keep the eighth level "Poison Scythe" Zoras.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun flipped his wrist and a card with a colorful clown printed on it appeared in his hand.

It's that curse card - [Colorful JOKER].

I got this great relic from the Emperor by killing Cheresa, the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon, in the Dead Realm, but I never dared to take it out.

Later, when I came to the Old Continent, I took it out and studied it.

The Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon used actual actions to prove the incredible ability of this card.

Ji Xun has now figured something out.

Thinking of this, he looked at the "Poison Scythe" Zoras in the battle, and softly chanted: "Poker Game·Flower Card Cheating!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the colorful clown on the card seemed to come to life, with a charming smile on his funny red and white face.

In an instant, the rules were changed.

No one else noticed any changes, but Zolas's expression changed drastically during the fierce battle, because he found that his perception was interfered with!

No matter what method he tried, he felt trapped in a state of confusion where he could not correctly judge the direction.

It was like I was trapped in an invisible barrier, and no matter how I tried to escape, I couldn't escape.

From the perspective of others, the eighth-level mercenary leader seemed to have taken an overdose of hallucinogens and was running around anxiously at the moment.

Only Ji Xun knew very well that he had used [Colorful JOKER] to change the rules of space, and the space in that guy's perception was messed up.

This is also one of the ways he recently figured out how to use this curse card.

You need to use the laws you understand to forcibly change the rules of the universe in some areas.

Just like telling a story, your story must have enough knowledge as a basis to be convincing.

The reason why Holy Son Cheresa was so strong with this card was because behind him was the Dragon God Airel.

Ji Xun currently has limited rules that he can use, but it is enough to deal with a card master of the same level.

He didn't make any more moves, but played with the two cards in his hand.

One [Gray JOKER] and one [Color JOKER].

One is to copy the spell, and the other is to change the rules.

I didn't think so before.

Now that he had two trump cards in his hand, Ji Xun felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It seems that these two curse cards have a magical bond, and if used together, they will have some special effect.

But the feeling is like the hazy feeling when you first understand the law, which seems to be there but not at all.

Ji Xun felt that maybe his level was not enough.

Now whenever I have time, I will take it out and play with it.

The space rule barrier released by the Curse God Card is of extremely high grade. Even if it is not one or two levels higher, it is impossible to see any flaws.

That "Poison Scythe" Zolas couldn't understand what was going on, and couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

It was because he couldn't understand that he panicked.

The mechanics were not polite. After receiving Katarina's instructions, more than twenty Hunter God armors all entered a last-ditch fighting state.

The close-quarters fighting was fierce.

Originally, Zoras had domain protection. Even if he was carrying these hunting **** armors, he would not die until the magic power was exhausted.

He can even use poison to corrode most of the Hunter God Armor.

However, just as he was beating, suddenly a black beam of light shot out from the ground.

Initially, Zoras thought it was just an ordinary magic artillery piece. He couldn't avoid it, and he didn't prepare to avoid it.

But the moment the black beam of light struck, his expression changed drastically.

Because he discovered that the black beam actually annihilated his poisonous field, and then rushed straight towards his body.

"Brush~"

Although the annihilation beam as thick as a bucket was consumed by the field along the way, it was only as thick as a thumb in the end.

But it was this beam of black light that penetrated Zolas's body.

The black light seemed to annihilate everything, not even the blood could flow out.

Zolas's eyes were full of disbelief, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

The defense was broken for the first time.

The Hunter God Armors did not miss this opportunity and swarmed forward.

In the distance, Ji Xun looked at the ray of black light and muttered to himself: "What a big killer."

Of course he knows this secret weapon.

This is the rare drawing he got in the extradimensional space of "Horror Worm Cave: Searching for the Ominous Female Insect Malgit" - [Mechanical Angel Anti-Matter God-Destroying Device Concept Drawing 1.0].

Now it has been developed by the New World Technology City over in the East Wasteland.

Even Ji Xun still hasn't figured out what the principle of the cannon is, but he has seen this kind of dark energy, which was used on the body of the Weeping Angel, and the remains of the previous Mechanical Angel.

He guessed that it might be the "unknown dark energy" pointed to by the "Lightless Sun" that has been cultivated to great depths.

This is a special thing that can annihilate all matter.

If it could really be used in the mechanical field, it would be a fatal threat to top card masters.

But it's still in the experimental stage.

Just after a cannon was fired, the Hunter Armor on the ground that was responsible for firing had been destroyed.

Even the eighth level could not withstand the annihilation light, and neither could the armor.

Fortunately, the effect has reached expectations.

"Poison Scythe" Zolas was seriously injured and unable to escape, so he was at the end of his strength.

He was like a prey trapped in a trap, being shot and consumed by hunters with weapons.

Not long after, the battle ended.

The eighth-level Zolas was killed, and almost all of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group was wiped out.

The battle losses on the Alliance side were not low. Thirty Hunter God armors severely damaged more than a dozen, and several others were basically completely scrapped, and they had to go back to smelt materials.

Other mechas and equipment also suffered considerable losses.

Fortunately, the battle was won and the casualties were not large.

After the battle, Catalina and the top leaders of the Alliance Army did not dare to stay any longer.

The results of the battle here will soon be transmitted back to the fortress, and enemies will inevitably come to check it out.

The mechanics simply tidied up the battlefield and left the underground river along the previously reserved escape route.

The Allies also deliberately left traces of the battlefield.

Let everyone know that these "Eastern Wilderness natives" are capable of killing eighth-level card masters.

The tragic victory after a fierce battle also wanted to imply that the gap between the two sides was not big.

This will not attract stronger forces.

Of course, no one would notice Ji Xun's presence even if they were cleaning the battlefield.

Zolas couldn't escape, and the people in Duke Simon's Palace would definitely think it was some kind of "black technology."

It is because of the unknown that it makes people more fearful.

On the other side, news of the great victory quickly spread to all the Alliance forces.

Military morale was boosted.

The news also spread among the noble forces in the Southern Continent through various espionage channels.

With this great victory, the Alliance Army took an important step towards becoming the top force in the Old Continent.
