We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

In an instant, the World Contact Channel exploded.

Wails came and went.

In the Court of Origins, if a task is marked with the words "Significantly Increased Difficulty" and there is no failure penalty of forced execution, I am afraid that the task will be a narrow escape.

Because the difficulty of the task is too high, there is a high chance that the walker will die while performing the task, and there is no need for failure punishment at all.

On the contrary, if the failure penalty is marked as mandatory execution, then the task will not be too difficult.

This is also the reason why there are so many complaints in the World Channel.

...

Soon, the Walkers informed the government of the steam civilization government about this matter on the grounds that "they went out to detect that the beast tide was gathering, and it is expected that they may attack in three days," so that they could prepare a response plan in advance.

As everyone knows, after seeing the physical fitness of the red beast, the supreme leader of the steam civilization, Sharbaev, already had a plan in mind.

...

Three days passed quickly.

In the early morning, on the horizon to the southeast of the high steel wall, the smoke and dust rolled up by the beast tide blocked the sunlight and quickly advanced towards the high wall.

The soldiers guarding the city were also notified and knew that this beast wave was different, so they made preparations early.

This beast tide is composed entirely of densely packed red beasts. The pressure can be felt from a long distance away. The sense of oppression is far beyond what ordinary beast tides can match.

Because not only the basic physical fitness of the red alien beasts is stronger than that of ordinary alien beasts, but after forming a beast tide, they can enjoy almost twice the bonus of ordinary alien beasts.

As the beast tide entered the range of the steam machine gun on the high wall, the explosions of steam-driven bullets began to block the beast tide advancing ahead.

This time is obviously different from the past. Originally, the firepower network composed of steam machine guns only needed three or four bullets to tear apart an ordinary alien beast. However, now it took eight or nine shots to seriously injure a red alien beast. The steam machine gun The life speed of harvesting the red beast is obviously much slower.

Soon, the beast tide, all composed of red alien beasts, pushed forward with firepower, and the speed was much faster than before. In the blink of an eye, they arrived under the high-strength steel city wall. The red alien beasts in front began to use their bodies to form a high slope of flesh and blood.

For a time, thin-skinned iron buckets filled with compressed steam, as well as skills and spells flashing with various lights, fell one after another, but they only slowed down the rising momentum of flesh and blood.

Xu Bai stood in front of the city wall, looking at the flesh-and-blood slope that was rising unabated. He held the spear to break the evil behind his back, and flashed more than a dozen of the nanny's bonus lights on his body, ready for a bloody battle at any time.

This time, he will be the main force at the front.

The high slope of flesh and blood continued to climb upwards, and was about to be level with the city wall. Xu Bai could already see the ferocious gaze of the red beast.

At the critical moment, the roar of a steam engine sounded above everyone's heads.

A steam plane appeared in the sky and flew quickly to the southeast.

The plane flew about 2 kilometers and came directly above the beast tide. Two thick cylinders were thrown downward from the bottom of the plane, quickly raised the altitude, and flew towards the sky.

Seeing this scene, many walkers had already guessed what it was.

At that moment, all the buffs on Xu Bai's body disappeared and were transferred to the mages behind. The mages kneaded the mana-recovering potions in a uniform manner.

In an instant, the mages relied on the buff status given by the wet nurse to flood the city wall with countless skills and spells under the wall defended by the walkers. The slope was cut by nearly 30 meters, and the offensive momentum of the red beast showed an obvious stagnation.

Seeing that the red beast would not be able to come up for a while, all the walkers on this section of the city wall ignored the roar of the supervising officer from behind and immediately turned around and ran back. Those who could fly, and those who could not, all sat on the lifting platform, thinking. To return to the ground behind the high steel wall.

The lifting platform had just reached halfway when a violent vibration came from the distance.

At this moment, on the battlefield, like the sun falling into the world, two dazzling "suns" appeared in the center of the beast tide, and countless red beasts were vaporized and evaporated in an instant.

In an instant, the deadly radiation from the nuclear explosion reached the steel wall first.

What followed was a terrifying heat wave and shock wave.

Under the high steel wall, the red alien beasts that formed the high slope of flesh and blood quickly ignited a raging fire, and were hit hard by the shock wave against the high steel wall, turning into a burning, indistinguishable shape.

The metal shell of the high steel wall quickly turned red.

The moisture and oxygen in the air are quickly consumed.

For a time, both the human defenders on the wall who had no time to react and the beast tide below the city wall were all turned into charred corpses in a terrifying shape in a short period of time.

The nuclear explosion only lasted for a moment. The fireball that emitted a dazzling light at the center of the explosion disappeared. Two mushroom clouds appeared at the explosion site. The radiation-carrying dust was thrown to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters by the impact of the nuclear bomb explosion.

The plane that had dropped the nuclear bomb earlier passed through the radiation cloud and flew back.

At this time, there were no living creatures above and below the city wall, only charred mummies were left. Only the walkers who foresaw the crisis in advance escaped.

The area where the nuclear bomb exploded was still burning with raging fire, blocking the advancing beast tide from behind.

Seeing that the attack failed, it didn't take long for the beast tide in the distance to recede.

...

At this time, in the meteorite that brought the alien beast, the queen of the alien beast was sitting on a throne that emitted purple-red light. She was trembling slightly as she looked at the image coming back from the blood-colored crystal in front of her.

She is scared.

In the images sent back from the front, she truly felt the threat of death.

The bugs in this world have weapons to kill her.

Only being in this huge meteorite can give her a sense of security.

Because she is in a meteorite, the throne under her body is a stance barrier generator given to her by the Mother Queen of Alien Beasts. It will generate a level 3 stance barrier within a hundred meters of the meteorite to withstand nuclear bombs. Explosions are no problem at all.

Only intelligent creatures may enter with small amounts of inanimate items.

This is her greatest confidence.

...

As the beast tide receded, all walkers on the lifting platform received the prompt.

"Tip: The third round of your main mission has been completed, and you have been qualified to return. You can return at any time."

"Tip: If you don't choose to return immediately, you can stay in this world for 36 hours. You will be forced to return after the stay time is exhausted."

"Because the main mission has ended, the trial rankings will be settled immediately."

1st place: Mo Xiu (Sanren), 4372 trial merit points

2nd place: Agui (Black Gate Guild), 1734 trial merit points

3rd place: Ruby (Rose Guild), 1572 trial merit points

4th place: Heitan (Black Gate Guild), 1211 trial merit points

5th place: Mu Yu (Sanren), 1135 trial merit points

6th place: Jiang Yu (Black Gate Guild), 1075 trial merit points

7th place: A Li (Black Gate Guild), 924 trial merit points

8th place: Yu Tong (Rose Guild), 657 trial merit points

9th place: Tianping (Rose Guild), 430 trial merit points

10th place: Lily (Rose Guild), 415 trial merit points

"The ranking of the trial merit list has been locked. Subsequent trial merits obtained will not participate in the ranking settlement."

"Leaderboard rewards will be distributed after you return to the Court of Origin."

...

"It's so cruel, you won't even spare your own people."

After checking the prompts from the Court of Origin, Xu Bai sighed in his heart that he had underestimated Sharbayev's determination.

In order to survive this crisis, this guy actually dared to detonate a nuclear bomb so close to the high steel wall.

...

The lifting platform has returned to the ground. The walkers stepped down one after another, but were immediately surrounded by the guarding troops from behind.

Although they anticipated the nuclear explosion and escaped from the front line in advance to survive, this behavior was considered an escape on the battlefield, and the consequences can be imagined.

But everyone doesn't care. Now that they have the qualification to return, they can leave whenever they want.
