Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 475 Encirclement and Suppression
With Captain Tommy personally covering the rear and delaying the enemy, the guards in charge of operating the airship quickly arrived at the designated location, got into the airship pod and activated the magic power core.

The Blackwater man holding the shield seemed to be unmoved by the death of his companion. After losing his target, he immediately changed his tactics, transforming the shield in his hand into a black crystal weapon, and silently attacked Tommy who was blocking his way.

"Captain, be careful!"

Tommy threw his spear behind him, quickly drew the alchemical sword from his waist, and raised his hand to meet a black crystal sword. Only after the close combat did he see clearly that the enemy's ever-changing strange weapon had a surface as smooth and transparent as a mirror, and could even vaguely reflect his own ferocious expression in battle.

Dang! The sharp sound of weapons clashing could be heard...

The battle knife slammed hard on the black sword, Tommy's face suddenly turned red, the long knife almost flew out of his hand, and his steps staggered twice... The power of these alien monsters is amazing!
He no longer hesitated to fight, and immediately turned his sword around, turning around and rushing towards the airship that was slowly rising into the air.

The Black Water Monster naturally followed closely, but fortunately the soldiers in the airship opened fire in time, quickly killing several enemies rushing in the front, and successfully reached the captain who climbed the rope ladder and jumped into the pod.

The airship had risen to a height of nearly seven or eight meters at this moment. The enemy could no longer reach the people in the pod and could only futilely gather black spears and try to throw them to pierce the airbag of the airship. However, it was obvious that their accuracy and attack frequency were far inferior to those of the soldiers in the pod. Every bullet fired from top to bottom could take the life of a monster.

Tommy then took a deep breath and suddenly felt a burning pain on his back. He wiped his back with his backhand... sticky black water stained his palm, mixed with a lot of scarlet color. It should be the black crystal thorns released by the enemy on his back when he was fighting and retreating just now. Now that the controller was dead, these tiny spikes that were originally pierced in his back instantly returned to their original shape and turned into liquid again.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Tommy shook his head, took out a glass tube from the bag on his tactical belt, crushed the seal, and poured the liquid in the tube into his mouth.

I don't know if this black water is poisonous, but it's always a good idea to take the antidote specially made by the medical center in advance.

"Bring me the large-caliber sniper rifle in the pod!"

The airship rose into the air, and now it was his turn to take action and give the enemies on the ground a good beating!
……

The alien enemies that crawled out of the ice cave gradually gathered together. The solid black shields they had condensed could not withstand the concentrated firepower of the soldiers and shattered one after another. More than half of the original number of nearly a hundred were killed or wounded... Splashing black water and scarlet blood could be seen everywhere on the snow.

The three-star magic gun with a large ammunition capacity and extremely fast firing rate allowed the royal guards who carried out this operation to suppress these terrifying enemies that crawled up from the bottom of the sea with only more than 30 people.

Only the red light monster hiding inside the shield wall could occasionally shoot out a red lightning, randomly attacking the soldiers' snow pits and trenches... But everyone had already figured out the frequency of the opponent's attacks, and most of the time they were able to dodge it, with only a few unlucky people being hit.

Tommy, in the airship, fired at the target while observing intently... They seemed to be planning to retreat to the vicinity of the collapsed ice cave. Could they have some way to instantly break through the blocked ice cave and escape back to the sea? They must not be allowed to escape!

He currently had no idea how many enemies were hiding on the seabed. If any of them escaped and returned to the sea, alerting the enemy's main force, and then carried the bodies of dead aliens or captives back to the Ice Sea Base, they would most likely be tracked and targeted, leading a large number of enemies to the vicinity of the Eternal Night Ruins.

Several wolf spider beasts that were originally expected to have high hopes did not have the expected effect of luring the enemy. The violent fluctuations of magic power on their bodies did attract the attention of a large number of enemies, but the enemy had the advantage of large numbers, and their ever-changing weapons were both offensive and defensive in close combat. The wolf spider beasts could not gain any advantage under the siege of many people.

Moreover, although alchemical life still possesses some of the biological characteristics and instincts before the transformation, it is completely unable to understand and execute overly complex instructions. They do not know how to make the enemy lose its ability to resist while ensuring its survival, and can only use their eight sharp metal insect legs and sharp mouthparts to kill the target with all their strength.

A bullet shot into the front of a red-lit monster hiding in the crowd, only half a meter away from his swollen and wide feet... The monster seemed to be stimulated, and retreated with the black-water monsters surrounding him. They had experienced a fierce battle in less than a quarter of an hour, and had already clearly understood the lethal power of this kind of long-range weapon.

Two more bullets were fired into the enemy group, and this time they finally realized the direction of the attack... Just above their heads, less than a few dozen meters away, several long guns were mounted on the airship, firing indiscriminately from top to bottom over the shield wall.

The unavoidable alien enemies were forced to disperse again. Several Blackwater people protected a red light monster and stumbled to the edge of the camp amid sporadic gunfire, and just hid next to a metal supply box piled next to a tent.

The soldiers ambushing in the camp immediately stopped the attack and suppression, and quickly went around to the ice cave along the snow trenches dug on the periphery. The two groups of soldiers successfully met up and started using firepower from opposite directions to force the enemy to retreat into the camp.

The situation of the battle has now completely turned to the side of the human soldiers. Tommy is in the air, calmly controlling the sniper rifle, constantly killing the targets surrounding the red light monster, and gradually forcing him towards the location where the trap was set.

Finally... after the last black shield guard beside him was shot and fell, a red light monster shot out two red lightnings in panic, turned around and staggered into a tent to hide. Just as he was about to run to the door of the tent, his feet suddenly felt empty. The soft snow sank and wrapped him up and fell into the dark pit.

The pit was not very deep, but as soon as the target fell in, the preset freezing array in the metal barrel column was immediately activated. Thick and insoluble ice fog immediately spread out, freezing him instantly as he struggled.

"Finally, we caught one!" Tommy cheered with a fist pump, then turned to his soldiers and said, "Tell the soldiers on the ground to keep pushing them towards the camp. There are two more traps... Let's try not to waste this opportunity!"

The deputy quickly asked, "Boss, are we only going to catch those monsters that cast red magic? Those guys carrying black water jars... not many of them survived."

Tommy curled his lips and chuckled. "The guys releasing the red light appear to be of higher rank than the ones controlling the black water. Catching them is a sure win. As for those black water monsters... try to keep the canisters they're carrying intact. The liquid weapons inside are exactly what we need to research and crack."
