Chapter 400: In the world of martial arts, only fast ones can’t be defeated

The night was as dark as ink, but outside the Iris City it was as bright as day.

The braziers on the city walls spewed out blazing flames. These were also special braziers made by alchemy. Although they were called braziers, they were actually more like searchlights.

On the city wall, the knuckles of the soldiers who were gripping the alchemical guns turned white. Yes, money allowed them to stand here, but money could not make them not nervous.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

People heard bursts of dull friction sounds, and at the same time, a disgusting fishy smell filled the air.

In the light of the fire, everyone could see it.

Tens of thousands of venomous snake scales rubbed against the ground, like a surging tide from hell, rushing towards Iris City.

"First array, alchemical cannon fully charged!"

"Ready. Fire!"

On one side of the city wall, thirty alchemical cannons roared at the same time.

The runes engraved on the cannon barrel glowed with blue light, and the shells cut through the night sky, trailing a comet-like tail of flame.

It looks like a whole shell, but after being fired, it splits into several scattered flowers in the air. This shell is a group-killing cluster shell specially designed to deal with large-scale sieges.

Then, there was a series of dense explosions like drum beats!
It was visible to the naked eye that there was no place in the entire area in front of the city wall that escaped the baptism of bombs. Every square meter, every inch, was affected by the bombs!
In an instant.

Blood, flesh and venom splattered everywhere, and charred snake corpses fell like rain, but more poisonous snakes behind continued to charge forward, stepping on the remains of their own kind.

"Second array, incendiary bombs!!"

Li Zhongren's voice exploded in everyone's ears through Anna's lips and tongue.

The soldiers turned the base of the turret and loaded in the cylindrical projectile engraved with fire runes.

It was a similar shooting method to cluster shells, but this time, the shells that fell on the ground spewed out blazing flames into the sky, and they continued to do so. As a result, the entire city wall was turned into a sea of ​​fire.
"Thank you, Lord Mafa, for your barrier."

The first wave of siege was blocked. Under the burning flames, the poisonous snakes were carbonized before they could get close to the city.

During this period, Li Zhongren spoke to the druid beside him.

"You are welcome, Lord. This is just a little bit of natural charm."

"But it also saved me a lot of gold coins and trouble."

What Li Zhongren said was that the barrier of Marfa guided the snakes, making them attack a city wall like moths to a flame.

"So, I decided to donate some money to the Moonlight Society, hoping that you can continue to protect the environment of this world."

"You are so polite."

Marfa was a little flattered. It was the first time he met such an easy-to-talk lord.

"Also, I plan to build a Moonlight Society base in Iris City and hire a druid to serve as the environmental protection committee member of Iris City to ensure that we can live in harmony with nature. What do you think?"

"For example, you know, the biggest problem with alchemy is that its byproducts are usually toxic. Many countries discharge the byproducts of alchemy directly into rivers, which is a huge pollution to the environment. We should resolutely resist this behavior."

"Hey, thank you for your understanding."

Looking at the grateful druid, Li Zhongren felt a bit like a bad guy, but it was very interesting.

Moreover, he found that environmental protection, a moral high ground, is actually quite useful. Of course, the premise is that you have enough strength, otherwise you will be like a fool, just like the environmental protection girl.
"Boom!"

"Be careful, there's a big guy!!"

The soldier on lookout sounded the alarm and saw that behind the group of snakes that kept coming forward, several huge snakes as big as hills suddenly crawled out.

Scarlet eyes and bloody mouth.

Every breath was filled with a foul-smelling mist.

They climbed onto the flames without hesitation, their thick scales showing no fear of flames at all.

"It's a mutant!"

The young druid held up his oak staff, and his antlers cast branch-like shadows in the firelight.

"They have alchemical cores in their bodies!"

"Switch to armor-piercing bullets! Aim at the head crystal core!"

Li Zhongren gave the order again.

The gears of the alchemical turret spun rapidly, and a spiral drill extended from the muzzle.

When the roar sounded again, the steel-core shell accurately pierced through the giant snake's brow, and the purple crystal core hidden in its skull shattered.

The snake corpses that lost their power collapsed with a loud bang, however, things did not go as smoothly as imagined. These giant snakes actually exploded directly, and it was not known whether it was blood or some other body fluid that instantly sprayed out a path that extinguished the flames.

Behind them, a steady stream of poisonous snakes were still attacking the city wall.

"interesting."

On the city wall, Li Zhongren observed all this through a three-dimensional map.

The enemy is these venomous snakes, not any other human beings.

However, there is no doubt that this was a premeditated and directed war of aggression.

In the darkness farther away, wrapped in endless poisonous fog, the other party thought he could not see, but in fact he could see clearly that there was a huge alchemical snake like a mother body, and it was casting different snakes according to the environment of the battlefield.

Yes, not eggs, but snakes.
"Then let me see what other tricks you have."

Li Zhongren remained silent and issued another order through Anna.

"Activate the laser cannonballs."

Once again, several shells were ejected from the alchemical cannon. These shells once again broke apart in the air and fell to the ground, like chopsticks.

Then, these chopsticks sprayed out some kind of azure blue threads towards each other, weaving into a huge network.

All the venomous snakes were cut into several pieces after passing through these nets.
However, facing the seemingly endless swarm of snakes, the laser shells were eventually pushed away.

"interesting."

Li Zhongren narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the poisonous snakes that had crossed the moat and began to climb upwards. It was the first time that he understood the threat of the beast tide.

On the city wall, the soldiers were shooting frantically. The alchemical guns in their hands adopted the common structure in this world, but the bullets were made with the technology provided by Li Zhongren, air compression.

In other words, under the premise that this kind of gun has enough energy, there is no need to worry about changing bullets, but the price is that the range is not too far, only about one hundred meters.

But this is already remarkable, especially the battle to defend the city.

The soldiers attacked frantically, and the Vipers were blown to pieces.

As a result, the situation unexpectedly came to a standstill.

After all, this kind of alchemy that does not require changing bullets is still unique at present.

Of course, there would always be a small number of poisonous snakes crawling onto the city walls, and even soldiers would be injured or killed as a result.

Li Zhongren had nothing to say about this.

Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth.

He hired them and provided them with pensions. What he wanted was for them to work hard instead of for him to be their babysitter.

So, just watch and see.

Since the battlefield can be stabilized, Li Zhongren is not in a hurry to take action.

However, the two druids, upon seeing this, began to cast various druid spells, most of which were for adding buffs and healing.

Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with the druid.

Able to carry and fight.

When the dawn broke, all that was left of the battlefield was scorched earth and crystallized venomous debris.

The soldiers slumped on the top of the city wall, some laughing and some crying.

The beast tide is over.

In other words, Li Zhongren won.

With the help of the infinite bullet air cannon he designed.

At the cost of hundreds of soldiers killed or wounded.

The beast tide was actually completely consumed.

After all, no matter how powerful you are, you have to abide by the law of conservation of energy.

The giant snake mother finally consumed all her flesh and blood, leaving only dry bones.
However, Li Zhongren knew that the big thing would only come now. After all, the other party did not force him to reveal his true trump card.

Now is a really good time. As expected, a huge red dot suddenly appeared in the distance on the three-dimensional map.

Attacking towards Iris City at an extremely fast speed.

Zoom in.

A person wrapped in a black robe was suspended in the air, wrapped in mist.

"Legendary?"

Li Zhongren felt the other party's aura and roughly estimated his strength.

However, there was something a little weird, and there seemed to be something wrong with the opponent's vitality fluctuations.

"Haha, perspective."

Li Zhongren raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

With the help of God's Eye, he could directly peek into the other person's true form under the black robe.

"A corpse."

"Puppet?"

Li Zhongren couldn't help but feel curious.

However, he didn't care. At the moment, he had completely understood the other party's plan.

Whether it is this beast tide of unknown origin, or this puppet legend that is actually a dead person.

All of this proves one thing, that the other party wants to test whether this place is really a legend.

Then, he just wouldn't let the other party get his wish.

"Ekvera."

"I am here, dear witch."

"Activate the railgun."

"Yes."

The railgun is the ultimate killing weapon that Li Zhongren has tinkered with recently.

The principle is naturally that of an electromagnetic gun.

But the difference is.

He can attach the power of his God's Hand to it, like a giant throwing a stone, except that the giant's arm can extend infinitely like rubber to provide sufficient input.

And it's silent.

So that no one can leave any trace.

And most importantly, the fired shells can even locate the target through the hand of God, leaving no possibility of escape!
"Buzz!"

In the main city, a huge rail gun was raised.

The uniquely shaped gun barrel faces diagonally upwards.

As the gears turned, it aimed at the direction of the enemy's attack.

"Charge."

Aikovira pulled the joystick, and the floating projection in front of her immediately locked onto the opponent's target. She was amazed at this technology, but it was a pity that this technology was top secret of the lord and was not given to her.

"Charging completed."

"Locked."

"fire."

Anna gave the order.

Then, the cannon roared!
The dark gold lines on the cannon suddenly lit up, and the ground veins of the entire Iris City were shaking.

The clouds in the sky were stirred into a spiral vortex, purple arcs of electricity moved across the surface of the railgun, and the energy core gathered into a spherical shape, emitting a humming sound like a collapsing star.

"hiss!!!!"

The shrill sound of the air being torn apart pierced everyone's eardrums.

A beam of azure blue light pierced through the sky and earth, distorting the space along the way into rainbow-like halo ripples.

The shell seemed to be restrained by something and drew a perfect arc.

"Varied"

From the perspective of the black-robed puppet, it sensed danger.

However, the danger actually arrived before he expected.

Nothing, just one word, fast
That moment.

The metal coating on the outer layer of the shell turned into a burning comet tail, and the annihilation rune drawn by Li Zhongren himself in the inner core was triggered.

The puppet's black robe vaporized first, revealing a skeletal body filled with alchemical circuits. The dark red crystal core in its chest cavity flashed wildly as a warning.

Then the world was dyed pure white
There was a silent collapse at first, and the air within a radius of one kilometer was instantly sucked into a vacuum.

Then the shock wave exploded in a ring shape, carrying liquid lightning and splashing everywhere.

A dazzling light like a miniature sun burst out from the location where the man in black robe was.

Everything was crystallized and then... vaporized.
"God is above."

The soldiers on the city wall were all stunned.

Because they saw a scene that they will never forget in their lifetime.

At dawn, a small sun appeared in the sky on the other side.
And a mushroom cloud that seemed to be rising to the sky
As the light faded, fine blue snow fell from the sky.

Mafa reached out to catch a piece and found that it was actually highly condensed lightning crystals, with tiny arcs of electricity sparkling in his palm.

The young druid looked at the smoking muzzle of the railgun, and his oak staff unconsciously fell to the ground.
"Brother, is this alchemy?"

"Yes, alchemy."

Mafa Yue looked at the huge alchemical cannon in the distance.

In fact, he was involved in it. This lord was more generous and more accepting of the Moonlight Society than he thought.

“But, not entirely.”

"??"

"I saw the dead enemy. It was just a puppet. It had legendary power but was unable to fully exert it."

“But even so, it’s still legendary.”

"It's not as easy as we think for ordinary alchemical weapons to completely destroy such a legendary puppet."

"In fact, the core mechanism of this alchemical cannon is that it can transform and absorb the power of the witch."

"But no matter what, you should remember Lord Jack's words, Eli."

"What is it, brother?"

"Alchemy is the future. It is a means of bringing the wisdom of intelligent life to its fullest potential. But at the same time, as Lord Jack said, alchemy is also a double-edged sword."

"If it is not controlled, then in the end, what will be turned into ashes by alchemy is intelligent life itself."

"You stand guard here, I'll go check out the explosion site."

"What are you looking at?"

“I smell something different”

Marfa narrowed her eyes slightly.

The Moonlight Society is committed to maintaining the environment of the world of Faerun. Here, it is not just the ordinary environment, such as not wantonly cutting down forests and maintaining sustainable recycling. There is also pollution, which comes from the evil gods.

The world of Faerun once suffered from this problem.

The most famous is the Moon Tower area.

That valley in the central and western part of Faerun was once a valley full of birdsong, flowers, spring, and spiritual energy.

As a result, it was contaminated by an evil god.

To this day, it remains a restricted area for humans.

The omnipresent poisonous fog and evil spirits, as well as the wronged souls wandering in it, tear apart all the lives that dare to enter and live in it.
