I Like This Dream!

The battle at the Wengala Fort fell into a stalemate.

After dozens of waves of arrows, the archers withdrew from the city wall, leaving behind countless corpses filled with arrows. The beast tide moved irresistibly to the bottom of the city, facing a group of five defenders. The beasts' consumption before approaching the fortress was far greater than before, but for some reason, their ferocity was also greater than before, and they were not as easily broken up as before.

The herd of beasts charged at the city wall one after another, and the desperate momentum alone was frightening. The first wave of beasts, which was supposed to end in more than half an hour, showed no signs of retreating an hour later. Such a long time is enough for the generals to change their expressions after hearing this, and for Wenjialuo's soldiers and civilians to start packing their bags and fleeing, if they have not been entangled by the tide of beasts that invaded the city. But despite this unprecedented and lengthy attack, today's Wengala Fortress remains impregnable.

Most of the alien beasts in the beast tide have just given birth to crystal nuclei, and their abilities are so weak that they can be ignored; a small number of them are old guys who have lived past last year or even a few years, and have integrated their instincts by using awakened powers. A common way to fight against the latter is to first use many ordinary people to consume their natural abilities, and then let the superpowers or knights cut them down. This unwritten rule is accepted by most people on the Wenjialuo Defense Line. Although it has the selfish motives of the nobles, it also makes sense to a certain extent: power users and knights are very precious, and they are the only ones who can fight against powerful alien beasts.

Not so this year.

A group of five city guards guarded every gap. Each group had a clear division of labor. Two people defended, two attacked, and one person was responsible for reconnaissance. The team's sentinels will promptly pull back the wounded or exhausted warriors who cannot fight, and blow the whistle when powerful beasts are discovered. The healers on the city wall rescued the seriously injured who could not move under the protection of soldiers, and the field nurses handed over the injured after emergency treatment to the military doctors in the rear. Combat-type superpowers and experienced warriors named "Special Forces" by Count Anna are in charge of different areas and lend a helping hand when danger arises in the areas they are responsible for.

What used to be a war of attrition turned into a protracted war. The wounded and tired soldiers were replaced in batches and replaced by soldiers who were always ready to fill their positions. The people in the fortress were busy, with exhausted soldiers lying staggered in the lounge, and the field wards were full of wounded soldiers in pain, with nurses, doctors and saints walking among them, full of vitality and tension.

In previous years, there were not so many wounded people, and those who fell would be quickly cleaned up by the beast tide.

The superpowers and special forces members on the city wall have also changed several times. Only a few particularly powerful ones have been fighting from the beginning until now. Chief Knight Chris is one of them. His giant sword and gun have saved soldiers who were almost killed by beasts more than once, and he still has some strength left in the battle.

Chris glanced at the sky briefly during the battle. Following the falling trajectory of half the fire crow, he could see the boiling and twisting red cloud.

Ann is definitely alive.

Of course Anxu was alive, but when the battle on the ground reached a stalemate, the battlefield in the sky also reached a stalemate.

Learning to use mental power allowed An Xu to escape the situation of being suppressed and beaten, but this is not a decryption game, and finding the key will not directly lead to the ending. The white firebird as dazzling as the sun rushed towards Anxu, but Anxu dodged sideways at the critical moment; Anxu's invisible whip condensed with mental power lashed hard at the firebird, scattering the firecrows along the way, but was caught by the fire. The flames outside the bird's body block the outside. No matter how the firebird flies, Anxu knows where it will attack. No matter how much Anxu hides from the firebird, she will not lose her traces. One person and one bird come and go, and no one can hit the other. It seems that there is a tacit understanding, just like dancing. Tango-like.

In a realm shrouded by spiritual power, the master of the soul should be the master of all laws and the absolute lord of space. However, there are two masters in this small space, each with its own rules, and neither one buys the fault of the other, creating an embarrassing situation where you can't kill me, and I can't kill you.

The firebird, which was born as a strange beast, did not have as many ideas as An Xu. Most of its application of spiritual power was in its flame talent. Like a researcher who specializes in a profession, Anxu is resigned to its flames and is completely unable to break through. But it's better than it being a smart bird with a lot of thoughts. An Xu comforted himself and said, "It has a thick health bar and a high defense. If it can restore its health again, I'd better go home and wash up and sleep."

Theoretically, An Xu can also add blood to himself. But the experiment just now made her discover that when mental power is converted into supernatural powers, there will be a certain proportion of loss. In this protracted battle that could not be won in a short while, Anxu did not have the luxury of waste. Besides, she had been playing the game for such a long time and never liked being a wet nurse.

An Xu is the kind of player who likes to form a chopper team when playing alone. She doesn't have the patience to take every step, only the courage to make a desperate move. Win or die.

Mental power is not infinite. Instead of trying to patch up the shortcomings of the body, it is better to focus on the strongest point in one go. Anxu gave up all the fancy and useless tricks, gave up on healing the body, gathered her mental power into a spiritual blade as thin as a thread, and stabbed the firebird in the head when it rushed towards her again.

It felt like slicing an apple with a butter knife. The firebird swerved to the left the moment before it hit her, and the spiritual blade cut into its body - to be exact, it was a flame feather, a damn stuffed animal, this bird must also be the type that shrinks a lot when it is wet. ——Half an inch and nothing can be done. An Xu took an annoyed breath and suddenly felt dizzy.

Her hands were shaking, her tongue was as numb as frozen jelly, and her chest felt heavy and tight. An Xu didn't know whether it was because she was losing blood and was about to die, or because the burned air lacked enough oxygen. She seemed to see a countdown, and there was not much time left for her.

The firebird stopped a few meters away, but no longer approached. Under the white flames, it stared at Anxu with a look that looked both human and animal-like. An Xu shivered for no reason in this hot and sweaty environment. She always felt that the bird could see the countdown in her head.

That is the look of a vulture looking at a dying animal; that is the look of a careerist who is an inheritance heir, looking at a dying distant relative with only a smile in his eyes.

As a coveted dish, Anxu felt that it deserved a beating.

So she beat him up.

Anxu's mental energy surged out like nothing, and countless condensed blades rushed towards the firebird like a rainstorm. Their density was as dense as throwing a meat grinder on its head. The flat-haired beast flapped its wings, and the wall of fire it raised blocked the spiritual blade. Anxu was not discouraged. He narrowed the range of the blade attack, increased the intensity of the attack, and stabbed the firebird in the abdomen.

This time, the firebird didn't raise any flames. The spiritual edge only made a shallow cut on its feathers and then made no further progress. The firebird flapped its wings and jumped upwards, arrogantly watching the prey's death struggle.

An Xu's expression became strange.

Her attacks became scattered and irregular, like a girl throwing things at people in anger, resisting only out of reluctance. Firebird only occasionally deflected her attacks, but most of the time he stood still, as if he was mocking An Xu's powerlessness with his powerful body. The God's Favored One fought randomly for a while, the speed became slower and slower, and panic appeared on his face.

The prey gave a final bluffing blow and plummeted downwards. She seemed to be at the end of her rope and had no choice but to run for her life. All the mental energy used in the attack turned into a paddle that could move quickly in the sky, causing her to fly down like an arrow from a string, piercing the red clouds, and the fire crows could not keep up.

But for the giant firebird, it's just a comical death throes.

It was born with wings and belonged to the sky. It can fly hundreds of miles with just one flutter of its wings. It has been flying in the sky of Amenan for hundreds of years, using its huge body to measure hundreds of times a territory that is much wider than human Amenan. A young bird that has just learned to fly, so what can it compare to? Why should I escape from its claws?

If someone had been staring at the sky, they would have noticed that a small black dot fell from the rising fire cloud. The small black dot seemed to be extremely heavy, and it fell to a large size in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, the fire cloud split into a small ball of white fire, and the white flames rushed towards the small black dot, engulfing it at a glance.

In the eyes of other creatures, it is not easy to see this scene clearly. Probably only Firebird and An Xu who are in the game know what is happening. Anxu "saw" the firebirds attacking her from her full mental perspective. Their size difference was like a giant eagle catching a mouse. The distance between the person and the bird shortened, and then shortened again, and she was enveloped by the giant bird, but what fell on her was not a shadow, but a terrifyingly brilliant firelight.

Hundreds of meters, dozens of meters, tens of meters, several meters. She "saw" the hot white fire feathers on the firebird, the claws and beak that were harder than steel, a pair of powerful wings... and a certain "weakness" on the left wing that was difficult to detect. ".

Hidden in the "oar" that helped An Xu fall, the spiritual blade pretended to be harmless and separated from the body the moment before the bird's claw hit her.

Planes are afraid of bird collisions, not because the birds fly fast, but because they fly very fast, and the force generated when they collide with other things is very huge. Especially in such a critical position as the engine, the consequences of a bird strike are very terrible. So all An Xu had to do was make sure that the thing that collided with the high-speed flying firebird was hard enough.

The spiritual edge that condensed all the remaining power turned into a spear, and all attacks were concentrated on one point. The spear pierced the giant bird's flame feathers, truly damaging its body.

It is true that Anxu, who was at the end of his crossbow, didn't have much strength left. The spear was sharp and hard but not big enough, like an extremely sharp sword only as big as a toothpick. If you have to care about it, the results of this successful attack can be said to be insignificant. It only injured the Firebird for the first time since the war began. It cannot be compared with Anxu's serious injuries that could make her lose consciousness at any time. But even a sword as big as a toothpick can seriously injure or even kill someone as long as it is positioned correctly.

The firebird let out a cry of pain that echoed through the sky.

The entire Wenjialuo defense line heard this sound, and many people who subconsciously looked at the sky were almost severely injured by the alien beasts. Anxu, who was very close to the firebird, vomited blood amidst the terrifying loud noise. She almost choked on her own blood, but she burst into fitful laughter.

The Firebird swerved to the left under her head-on attack; the Firebird raised a fire shield under the blades that covered its body; the Firebird occasionally used flames to defend itself, but most of the time it resisted...if it was really like it wanted to It appears to be so powerful and has no flaws, so why should it hide and defend itself?

That must be because it has weaknesses, and Ansu can pose a threat to it. It was the Firebird's arrogance and pretentiousness that allowed Anxu to figure out its weakness.

A beast is a beast.

The sharp mental spear penetrated the invisible weakness at the root of the left wing. The instigator did not expect the effect to be so immediate: the firebird's left wing suddenly dropped, and the huge bird body could no longer maintain balance, and actually flipped towards the ground. Fall. There is no doubt that there are old wounds that have not healed. Anxu's attack almost broke its left wing.

The Firebird stopped after falling dozens of meters. After all, it was no ordinary bird. It flapped its wings and flew more out of nature. In essence, like Anxu, it could float in the air using its mental power. The re-rising firebird was not as seriously injured as An Xu, but it was undoubtedly a frightened bird. It glanced at the God's Favored One with fear. Anxu was floating swaying, his breath was weak, his eyes were lifeless, but there was a weird smile on his face.

Firebird hesitated for less than a second, then quickly turned around and left.

The fire cloud dispersed and gathered together, flying towards the Firebird in a hurry, but because it couldn't keep up with the speed, the team was dragged behind it in a scattered manner, like the trajectory cloud behind the butt of an airplane. Compared to Arrival, which was so atmospheric that it could be paired with the background music of a natural disaster, the disappearance of Hongyun was quite anticlimactic, full of the meaning of fleeing.

An Xu stared at the other party blankly, almost swearing.

After playing for so long, you told me that nothing dropped? What about the equipment? What about the crystal core? In the end, is this a plot kill that will automatically cut off after a few rounds? !

An Xu was so angry that he couldn't even breathe. Finally, his vision went dark and he fell down softly.

The beast tide in Wengaru Fortress finally receded.

Not long after the giant bird's cry, the herd seemed to wake up from the frenzy. Each one had no intention of fighting, and it didn't take long for all of them to escape. The border troops, who were already prepared to fight the opponent until the end, were confused and could not recover from their tragic mentality for a while.

It was the sentry who called first.

The sharp-eyed sentry on the watchtower blew the "emergency" horn. The border troops were shocked and quickly looked around to find where the sudden crisis was. The beast tides around the fortress are retreating. The few remaining alien beasts can no longer become the beast "tide" and will be wiped out in a few minutes. The last group of superpowers with remaining strength have already begun to clean the battlefield, protecting the field nurses and picking up the wounded back.

"Up there!!" The sentry opened the locked window and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty the Earl!"

When everyone looked upward, the small black dot falling in the sky had enlarged into a human figure. The water type user with the fastest reaction started to create a water ball. Chris immediately reacted and calculated the position where the figure landed as if assessing the landing point of a bow and arrow. He shouted: "Earth water type user! Position 16.3!"

During the practice of defending against the enemy, the open space in front of the Wenjialuo Fortress was divided into dozens of areas, like war chess, to facilitate partition management. Each batch of combat-type superpower users who changed shifts also honed their combined skills during the drill. Now that the chief knight shouted this, all the superpowers on the fortress took action.

The stretched water film spread dozens of times in mid-air, slowing down the falling speed of the fallen. Towering mounds of soil rose from the ground. The mounds were loose and soft, like giant airbags. The figure fell into the mound with a bang, and was suddenly too deep to be seen.

Chris picked up Lydia, who happened to be on the city wall for her shift, and jumped down from the Wengaro Fortress in a few jumps. He ran towards the mound that was scattered by falling objects, and quickly and carefully dug out the people inside.

Count Anna's eyes were closed tightly, and the dirt mixed with the numbing wounds on her body wrapped her up like an unearthed cultural relic. Chris regretted not bringing an exorcist down with him. His hands carefully dragged Ann's shoulders, not knowing how to move her.

Lydia felt Ann's pulse, and after a moment she held her chest with one hand and unfolded the tool bag at her waist with the other. At this moment, the young doctor's expression was a hundred times calmer than that of a battle-hardened soldier. Chris opened his mouth, not daring to risk disturbing the other person. Lydia kept pressing her hand, and said with precious words: "Alive."

She would get through it and survive, like every other time.
