Chapter 330 To Fight or to Defend
Wherever the beam of light passed, whether it was a thick black carapace or a rapidly vibrating membrane wing, it vaporized and decomposed the moment it came into contact with it!
The beam of light seemed to encounter no substantial obstruction, piercing straight through the insect cloud that was thousands of meters thick, leaving two pure vacuum trails in the sky, and illuminating the battlefield, which had already fallen into darkness, as bright as day!
With just this one strike, two enormous gaps were torn open in the terrifying black dome of the sky, and thousands upon thousands of flying giant insects were reduced to ashes under the baptism of these two beams of light! The remaining swarm of insects let out terrified and chaotic sharp screechs, and their formation was thrown into chaos for a moment. Then, a petite figure exuding a majestic aura leaped down from the floating fortress covered in black armor that was rapidly approaching from afar.
"Wow, so many? You don't even need to aim, just close your eyes and shoot randomly! Well then, you big bugs, taste my hammer!"
While in mid-air, Maya was already bursting with dazzling silver-white holy light as the [Power Mark] was unleashed! Her figure rapidly grew taller and expanded in the light, transforming in the blink of an eye into a silver-white giant four meters tall, wearing a crown of light, a flowing battle robe, and wielding a huge light hammer and light shield, crashing into the swarm of insects on the ground like a meteorite!
"Boom! Bang!"
She swung her warhammer, creating waves of silvery-white shockwaves. Her light shield blocked the impact, shattering countless attacking insect limbs. She was like a drop of water thrown into a pot of boiling oil, instantly stirring up violent ripples in the insect swarm.
"Ang Yi!"
Almost simultaneously, a majestic and violent dragon roar resounded through the sky. A flash of red light appeared, and Diana, a crimson dragon with a body length of over seventy meters, spread her enormous wings and took off from behind the floating workshop.
Her fiery red vertical pupils locked onto the swarm of insects in the air. Her chest swelled, and then a terrifying dragon flame, several times thicker than Olivia's breath and almost incandescent in color, swept out like a waterfall of fire. Wherever it passed, the swarm of insects burned and fell like pieces of paper licked by the flames!
The floating workshop had now entered the edge of the battlefield, its massive body appearing particularly cold and ferocious under the cover of black armor.
Immediately afterwards, all the guns fired!
"Zzz—Boom boom boom!"
The ten 155mm secondary cannons, upgraded to LV60, roared first. The thick, dark blue energy beams from the main cannons were like precise whips, striking the surging swarm of insects on the ground. Each explosion cleared an area of tens of meters in radius, leaving behind scorched craters and the remains of insect corpses.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
The twenty 55mm close-in weapon systems on the wall unleashed deadly blue beams at an astonishing rate of fire, weaving a dense net of fire to obliterate any that tried to approach the workshop itself or escape from the air.
Inside the workshop, Helena and Rudick each occupied a modified shooting porthole, their wands flashing with light.
Upgrading their wands to level 60 grants them greater casting power and accuracy, enabling spells like [Water Blade] and [Holy Arrow].
They flew out in a crisscross pattern, precisely targeting and killing the scattered giant insects that tried to squeeze through the gaps in the fire net.
That wasn't all. Nine towering, dark gold-colored [Rock III Golden Guardian Puppets], each three meters tall and resembling steel sculptures, along with two even larger [Six-Armed Guardian Puppets] with six arms, leaped out of the workshop's various exits like dumplings being dropped into a pot, and landed with a thud.
The moment they touched the ground, they displayed terrifying killing efficiency. The magic axe spears in the hands of the golden guards sprayed out energy beams comparable to level four spells, easily piercing through the giant insects' carapaces. The heavy shields could smash several giant insects at the same time, causing their carapaces to dent and their juices to fly everywhere.
The six-armed guardian puppet is like a killing whirlwind on the battlefield, with its rapidly spinning alloy serrated blades and blasting armor-piercing bullets.
Precise energy strikes—each of the six arms performs its function, carving out bloody and fleshy passages through the swarm of insects!
Rex Ashford stared in disbelief at the scene outside the city that resembled a mythical war, as he observed the magic circle.
The firepower of that floating fortress was comparable to that of a small fleet, and each of those puppets displayed combat power equivalent to a level five magical beast.
I just don't understand why this puppet looks so much like our own Rock III puppet? No, our own puppets don't have this kind of combat power. After all, at the beginning of the war, they deployed all the remaining dozen or so Rock III puppets in the tower to the battlefield, and they were all destroyed in less than half a day.
And there was the dwarf girl who had transformed into a silver-white giant, and the terrifyingly powerful adult red dragon—
"Lord Leon—" Rex's voice was tinged with a dreamlike disorientation, "How many reinforcements are there outside? Could it be—hundreds of official wizards and puppet masters?"
At this point, the shield core's energy had recovered to a fairly sufficient level thanks to Leon's continuous infusion and the temporary reduction in the swarm's attack.
Li Ang estimated that with the current energy reserves, even if they were to suffer another large-scale concentrated attack, they could sustain themselves for more than an hour without much problem.
This hour is the best window to sound the horn of counterattack!
He slowly withdrew his hand from the core device, then turned to look at Rex, who was still in shock, and said calmly, "Tower Master Rex, there are only four reinforcements. My teammates, and Professor Diana."
"What?" Rex exclaimed in shock.
"However," Li Ang continued, "the opportunity only comes now. The swarm's commanders clearly possess a certain level of intelligence; they are adjusting, and the next attack will only be more ferocious and organized. Rather than waiting for the Alliance army to arrive at an uncertain time, we should seize the opportunity presented by this surprise attack, fight alongside us, and carve out a path to survival!"
He paused, then said with unwavering resolve, "I will lead my teammates and do everything in our power to break through the Zerg's lines. Whether Obsidian Tower fights or defends—the decision is yours."
After saying that, Li Ang said no more, nodded slightly to Olivia, and the two of them moved and left the core room, heading quickly towards the upper level.
Rex stared at Leon's disappearing figure, then looked at the fierce scene outside the city displayed in the magic circle, his expression shifting.
Shock, hesitation, struggle—ultimately, a surge of courage and determination overcame the despondency brought on by days of stagnation.
He stood up and said to the deputy tower master, Rudius, who was also aroused by Li Ang's words, "Send the order! All wizards in the city who are still able to move, regardless of school or rank, assemble immediately at the East Gate Square! Check the status of all remaining magic cannons and magic crystals."
He took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, as if he had rediscovered the fierce warrior he once was on the battlefield.
