Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 474 No matter life or death
"Enemy attack! Beware of enemy attack!"

The soldiers who stayed in the camouflaged camp as bait stood up, picked up their weapons and entered the snow trenches dug in advance. The other two groups who were ambushing in the ice caves and tents continued to stay put, waiting for the enemy to show up.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the trench to set up defenses, Tommy couldn't help but use his bloodline ability again, and looked intently at the entrance of the ice cave dozens of meters away - seven or eight twisted and swollen black shadows climbed silently on the edge of the ice cave and appeared in his sight.

His entire body was covered in a seamless soft leather shell, the surface of which was dark and uneven. The only part of his head was inlaid with a palm-sized red crystal mask. Tommy could almost confirm that the swollen eyeballs that had just stared at him were now hidden behind this thin crystal mask.

With the blessing of his bloodline talent, Tommy's observation ability has always been far beyond that of ordinary people, and he quickly discovered something was wrong.

These skinned monsters didn't actually have any black water cans on their backs that could be used as weapons!
Could it be that the other party discovered them by chance and did not prepare for battle in advance, so they did not carry any weapons?
The deputy next to him raised his elbow and gently touched his arm, silently asking him - do you still want to carry out the arrest operation as planned?
Tommy hesitated for a moment, a strong sense of unease rising from the bottom of his heart.

Before he could give the order, the squad of soldiers lying in ambush near the ice, unable to wait for the battle order for a long time, fired the first shot!
Buzz! Zizz——

The familiar sound of a magic gun firing rang out.

Among the seven or eight enemies who had just climbed out of the ice cave, a skinned monster standing in the front suddenly tilted his body, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground staggeringly.

The other strange man standing behind him instantly turned his body sideways, looked accurately in the direction of the attack, clenched his fist and raised his hand to wave... A thick red light as fast as lightning suddenly appeared from the palm of his hand, and in an instant rushed towards the soldiers buried in the snow pit and shooting.

With a loud bang, a huge cloud of snow mist rose from the ice surface, mixed with a striking scarlet color.

The soldier who fired the gun had his arm severed at the shoulder, blood gushing out like a spurt. He fell into the snow pit created by the explosion and passed out without even having time to scream.

"Attack!" Tommy gritted his teeth and ordered.

Immediately, dense bursts of gunfire rang out in the camp, enveloping the seven or eight enemies who had landed in a hail of bullets from a distance of dozens of meters.

Almost the next moment after the gunshots rang out, a large group of dark figures suddenly rushed out of the ice cave. The appearance of these people finally matched the information Tommy knew - they all had a huge metal tank on their backs, and they were the enemies operating the Blackwater weapons!

"Boss! Explode?"

"Blow up! Blow up now!" Tommy gritted his teeth. "If we don't seal the ice hole, we'll be outnumbered ten to one!"

The deputy immediately transmitted the detonation order to the ambush team near the ice cave via the communicator. A few seconds later, a loud bang was heard - in an instant, even the sky was illuminated by flames.

A massive fireball, swirling with black smoke, soared into the sky, shards of ice and snow swirling around it. The ice cave collapsed with a roar, its entrance completely sealed shut by a massive block of ice mixed with thick snow. Tommy even saw several dark figures who had just reached the edge of the ice cave and were about to emerge when they were engulfed in blazing flames, their bodies instantly ablaze. Then, the black water tanks behind them exploded, sending several of their companions flying.

But a rough look at the alien monsters that have landed shows that their number is nearly a hundred!
……

Five giant wolf spider beasts paddled with their thick metal legs, appeared from behind the camp tents, and nimbly crossed obstacles to pounce on the enemy.

"Watch out for those without canisters! They're capable of long-range, aerial attacks!" Tommy shouted to the soldiers beside him. "Cooperate with the Wolf Spider Beasts in suppressive fire. Don't worry about taking any survivors; just shoot them in the head and chest!"

Even if they wanted to capture them alive, their mere thirty or so people could not take care of nearly a hundred prisoners. They had to concentrate their efforts to eliminate the vast majority of them before considering whether to hold back and capture the few who had escaped the net.

The skinned monsters were also extremely agile. After realizing that the bullets coming out of nowhere posed a fatal threat to them, they immediately dispersed and began to hide their bodies and deal with the guards by piling up broken ice and snow around them by digging ice holes.

The thick black spears and sharp black crystal thorns that attacked from the darkness from time to time showed that they did not need any light source at all and seemed to have natural night vision capabilities.

Tommy now felt a little regretful that he did not follow the city lord's instructions to arrange a floating airship to suppress the enemy in the air. If he were in the sky at this moment, none of the alien enemies on the ground who had found shelter or buried in the snow would escape his sight.

The wolf spider beasts did not need to control themselves deliberately, and they rushed quickly following the enemy's shadow. Many aliens carrying jars immediately manipulated the black water to transform it into melee weapons, surrounding the alchemy beasts with more people and engaging in close combat... The black water solidified into the shape of swords and whips seemed extremely sharp and solid, and it could even produce sparks when it hit the alchemy beasts' outer armor.

Soon, Tommy discovered the strange behavior of this group of alien enemies - the black water monsters seemed to deliberately surround the red light monsters in the middle, and many of them even gave up fighting back, using black water to condense into irregular shield shapes, which actually blocked the bullets shot from the ice cave and the camp.

"Black water in the form of a shield... can resist the attack of magic bullets?" Tommy thought to himself that it was not good. He bent down and jumped out of the snow pit. He twisted his body flexibly to avoid the red lightning that shot out from the gap of the black shield, and rushed to the back of the tent.

Several equally swift and agile guards followed closely behind him - their target was to head straight for the two airships parked on the ground behind the camouflaged camp as bait.

At least one ship must be launched into the air to ensure that the soldiers on the ground have accurate fire suppression from the sky!

The alien enemies that were gathered in a circle seemed to have noticed their actions. After a slight disturbance in the shield formation, a team of more than ten people was separated. The black water enemies were still holding shields, and the red light enemies were hiding among them. They also crossed the tent and attacked Tommy and his companions.

Tommy, who had deliberately fallen behind the crowd, turned around in an instant, the power of his blood quickly gathered in his eyes, he half-knelt in the snow with a gun in hand, locked the target in the fast-moving wall of people, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. A bullet passed through the tiny gap between the two black shields and accurately hit the head visor of the red enemy surrounded in the center.

The bullet shattered the visor and went straight into his skull. The red enemy's head suddenly swelled and exploded, the upper half of the head shattered into pieces, and a sticky black water mixed with scarlet meat paste spurted out - it turned out that the flesh and blood under the skin of these alien monsters was also red.
