Struggle in the Steam Age

Although with the support of heavy firepower, Lawrence and the others successfully shattered the monster's possibility of a quick victory, the problem was that although the opponent had no ego and mind, some basic consciousness still existed. For example, certain biological instincts. And as long as it is related to the power of the gods, even the most basic instinct will bring huge troubles.

For example, after two or three rounds of explosions, the monster that was blasted from the hillside to the flat ground once again waited on the ground for a few seconds. Then retracted the tentacles that had been blown off and regrown many times before, and then the whole thing looked like a dried glutinous rice ball covered with sesame seeds.

"It won't want to roll up." Nora, who was floating in the air, said curiously, based on the current battle. Nora also found that the monster below might be much stronger than Lawrence and the others in all aspects, but the inability to fly was the biggest weakness of the giant monster below, so she was a little curious about what the other party wanted to do.

"Probably not." Lawrence said, looking at the monster that was turned into a sphere that was being set on fire. Compared with the octopus monster just now, this kind of sphere monster should be more difficult to climb up the mountain. Although the monster's defensive power has increased in this way, the opponent should be able to feel the increasingly intense divine power reaction of the priests on the mountain when they performed the ceremony. In theory, they should rush forward to attack instead of being passively beaten like they are now.

But soon, after another pile of mortar shells mixed with seven or eight magics smashed down, the monsters that had been in a ball before suddenly dispersed. Of course, this wasn't blown away by Lawrence and the others. Instead, they scattered into countless small groups of bugs shrouded in white mist and swarmed towards Lawrence and the others.

After being dispersed in this way, the biggest disadvantage is that the monster's original strong defense power has been greatly reduced. An 82mm mortar shell can easily wipe out a group of more than a dozen small beetles covered by a trace of white mist. But on the other hand, compared with the attack that was interrupted many times just now, this time the monster's attack became more threatening.

At least Lawrence didn't think that such a small group of them could stop hundreds of thousands of insect swarms that were moving very fast. More importantly, those white mist greatly weakened the effect of most attacks, especially the splash effect. Many cannonballs or magic can only kill one or two groups of bugs near the impact point after falling into the swarm, and the remaining bugs can often survive these explosions and magic effects.

And after entering the mountain, the rough terrain that hindered the big monster from climbing just now has now become the best bunker for the monsters who disperse their attacks. A large number of attacks were all blocked by those mountains, causing most of the beetles to get closer and closer to Lawrence and the others along with the white mist.

To make matters worse, it was because Lawrence and the others felt that the other party was a big guy. Therefore, the series of traps and obstacles set up are all aimed at large-scale enemies. Therefore, it is naturally difficult to use them in the face of these scattered miniature enemies.

For example, magic traps like the Earth Fire Spear or the Earth Stab are obviously wasted in this environment. Although the former is powerful, its attack range is too small. It is considered pretty good to be able to attack thirty or forty bugs at a time, and the latter can at most kill single-digit beetles at the moment of launching an attack, and then just push the beetles against the newborn ones. It only takes a few seconds for the beetles to return to the attacking army.

"Light it up, light it up!" Lawrence yelled loudly. Fortunately, he considered that the other side might send out swarms of bugs to harass him, so he dug a trench in front and added a lot of linseed oil produced in the Astral Plane to it. Moreover, these linseed oils are specially prepared and temporarily sanctified by Lawrence using the power of Bai Ze.

After hearing Lawrence's shout, the two paladins immediately took out a lighter from their arms and lit it and threw it into the trench. Then the two ignition points in the trench quickly spread to the surroundings, igniting the entire trench after only a few seconds, making a wall of flames burning with blue and white flames stand between the swarm and Lawrence.

From the perspective of naked eyes, the overall tone of this wall of fire is a bit like the flames of the undead. But if you look closely, you will find that this flame is brighter in color than the real undead flame, and the color of the main body is closer to white than the blue of the undead flame.

Most importantly, this flame does not give people a cold and dead feeling like the undead flame, but makes people feel a warm and holy power from it. Under the obstruction of this flame with divine power, the first group of beetles were successfully intercepted by the wall of fire.

In the beginning, a group of insects tried to see if they could break through the flame barrier. But the power of Bai Ze in the flame easily burned off the white mist attached to these bugs. Then the power of the flame itself burned the worms into coke. After repeated attempts to kill five or six groups of bugs, the rest of the bugs began to slowly gather in front of the firewall.

This Lawrence they created an excellent shooting window, right when the swarm of bugs was gathering. Everyone began to release their emotions with all their strength in order to weaken each other as much as possible. However, due to various reasons, the effect of this wave of attacks was not as good as expected. As those bugs piled up, in the end even a single 81mm mortar round could only kill single digits from the mass of beetles.

Against all kinds of attacks, this group of bugs slowly gathered together. It turned out to be what looked like a giant beetle with the tail of a scorpion, the forelimbs of a praying mantis, and the nimble limbs of a spider. Then the giant worm behind the wall of fire aimed the thorn on the tip of its tail at the wall of fire blocking its way, and released a large cloud of white mist.

After the mist floated on the wall of fire, it was pressed down like cotton filled with water. Accompanied by the sound of sizzling, the wall of flames that were at least two stories high had been burned before, as if someone had poured a lot of water on it. The water was extinguished piece by piece. When the wall of fire became only about one person tall, the monster turned into a huge worm directly rushed through the wall of fire.

Lawrence noticed that Bai Ze's power had an obvious additional killing effect on this monster that obviously belonged to the evil lineup. Even though the flames had been suppressed by the opponent with his own power, but when the opponent moved his eight-legged straddle When passing through the only remaining wall of fire, he could see the mist on the opponent's abdomen being burned by the flames, and the entire layer of mist disappeared like this, and many black beetles were completely burnt into coke and fell to the ground.

"Three minutes, please hold on." A priest of the Agricultural Church shouted loudly at the rear. Because the other party was completely unconscious, all the people present were able to drag on for so long with their extraordinary strength, which was clearly several levels behind. time. But now it seems that in the last three minutes, everyone will have to fight head-to-head.

Lawrence noticed that the priests and eyes around him showed a look of determination, and at the same time, some people's bodies were ignited with various lights. As someone who grew up in the church, he found that these people were ready to sacrifice themselves. And these rays of light on them are the preparations for launching this kind of magic called dedication.

The only function of this kind of divine art is to ignite everything about oneself as fuel in exchange for extremely powerful power, which can make ordinary superhumans suddenly upgrade by one or two levels. The only flaw is that after the magical effect passes, the caster needs a long time to cultivate at the lightest level, and at the worst, some people may even fall directly during the battle.
