Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 81 Galloping Across the Plains
To enclose such a large area, the sentry posts in Zircon Territory were already spread out very far.

After Liu Shuang shot one of them away, the distance between the two outposts is now wide enough to fit a train across, so there's no way to interfere with the [Flying Shuttle] crossing the encirclement.

This was their last chance. At this time, Chen Mo's driving skills were not yet proficient because he could not practice driving in the mountains.

However, after riding for only a short distance, Chen Mo regained his footing, continuously accelerating the electric motorcycle as it sped along the uneven road in the wilderness, occasionally eliciting a few exclamations of surprise from Liushuang.

The little girl hugged Chen Mo's waist very tightly, which reminded Chen Mo of a long time ago when he would sometimes unconsciously squeeze the brakes when riding a bike with a girl.

Don't ask, the answer is the road is uneven.

One magical beacon after another rose up behind them, and the alerted garrison cavalry hurriedly spurred their horses to give chase.

The breakthrough direction Chen Mo chose was one that the enemy had not expected, because it was adjacent to a straight official road, allowing the warhorses to gallop freely.

According to Zircon Territory's speculation, even if the enemy were out of their mind, they wouldn't run here.

Unexpectedly, what should have been a scene of horseback riding and running turned into a four-hoofed vehicle chasing two wheels, and at full speed, a high-tech off-road two-wheeler.

By the time they reached the main road, they were completely out of sight, with only a straight tire track pointing towards the distant horizon.

More than an hour later, the Fifth Knight, his face ashen, rushed over. After learning the details of the situation, he let out a howl like a wild wolf.

"Send a signal to notify the troops at the front to stop them!"

"Cavalry battalion, give chase! We must capture them!"

What followed was a chase that captivated most of the South Gate Territory.

We can't catch up!
On November 16th, during the Thunderous Year of the Qiyue Dynasty and the True Knowledge Year of the Wuyue Divine Court, Chen Mo piloted a flying shuttle, chasing an entire cavalry unit for twenty minutes.

It was also a good opportunity for the young princess to practice her shooting skills.

Princess Liushuang sat up and tied herself to Chen Mo with a belt, attempting to shoot a moving target while moving at high speed for the first time.

With the foundation of a second-tier warrior, the young princess adapted extremely quickly, hitting the target five out of ten times, and defeating four people and one horse.

The last victim, the captain of the Zircon Cavalry, wielded a finely crafted lance with such skill that it created afterimages. However, his ability to deflect arrows with impenetrable force was now nothing more than a farce against sniper bullets.

As the cavalry captain fell from his horse, the remaining cavalrymen turned their horses around and scattered in all directions.

It can't be blocked.

Because they were unfamiliar with the geographical location, apart from knowing that Cloud Mist Territory was in the north, the two of them knew nothing about other things such as the location of the city, the route, the mountains and rivers.

Therefore, when traveling, if the road conditions are good, then go straight north. If the surrounding environment is complex and villages are scattered, then release the [Skylark] to clear the way and try to avoid the enemy's line of sight.

All-terrain vehicles can climb hills and cross mountains. If they encounter places that are really insurmountable, Liushuang can carry the vehicle and drive away.

In this situation, intercepting this highly mobile two-person team is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, the troops under Zircon Territory cannot afford not to pursue them.

Whether or not you can catch up depends on your ability, as well as factors like terrain, weather, equipment, luck, and so on.

Whether or not to pursue it is a matter of attitude, and there's no way to shirk that responsibility.

With so many pursuit teams running around like this, they're bound to run into each other eventually.

Especially as they went further north, the terrain became more open, making it harder for Chen Mo and Liu Shuang to hide their tracks.

Thirty kilometers west of Jinhan City in Nanguan Territory, a Zircon Territory elite scout team, with the assistance of the reconnaissance falcon, tracked down Chen Mo.

This elite squad lived up to its reputation; although it only had four members, each of them was equipped with Tier 3 Silver Armor.

Clad in lightweight chainmail that gleamed with a bluish light, with tiny wind runes inscribed on the armor plates, which greatly reduced weight and increased speed, his mount was also one in a thousand—a black steed, six feet tall at the shoulders, with bulging muscles and fur the color of ebony. Using the slightly complicated terrain, it managed to keep up with Chen Mo's speed.

Because they were well prepared, they carried protective magical ornaments carefully crafted by the territorial mages, along with mana crystals that could be used to recharge them.

Liu Shuang fired five bullets in succession, but to no avail.

Chen Mo was unhappy now.

Isn't this a waste of my bullets?
You can afford to use your magical items, but my bullets are precious. The weight supplied by the valuable bloodline altar can't be wasted on this all the time.

Besides, we haven't even killed you all, why are you still chasing us?
Eat my Hornet!
What can a drone that weighs only 300 grams carry? Certainly not conventional weapons.

Based on the practical effects of various weapons in other worlds, Dongxia believed that high temperature and strong fire were the most effective against these tough-skinned and armored creatures.

No matter how powerful the explosion is, it will have difficulty penetrating heavy armor, not to mention that the Starry World Warriors have extremely strong instantaneous defensive capabilities.

It still has to be the aluminum-magnesium alloy that was able to take down the fifth-tier orc knight back then. The temperature is high enough to burn continuously. I don't believe that plate armor, battle aura scrolls, or magic artifacts can't be burned through.

Compared to traditional aluminum-magnesium incendiary bombs, the Wasp forgoes the initial explosive effect, using all the saved space to enhance two functions.

Automatic locking and forced control.

Automatic targeting means that wasps will prioritize attacking the head, neck, chest, and abdomen in the following order: head, neck, chest, and abdomen.

Forced control involves the Wasp drone releasing a mist of anesthetic gas as it approaches the enemy, disrupting their reaction speed. It then plunges its "sting needle" into the enemy, instantly melting it and establishing a physical connection, holding on tightly.

The ranger who was at the forefront was lucky enough to be stung by a wasp, which bit him directly on the forehead.

The effect is comparable to that of a facehugger.

No amount of magical protection could withstand the 3,000-degree flames that directly scorched the forehead.

Because it was so effective, the scout only had time to utter a short shout before his skull was carbonized and his brains dried up.

Witnessing this, the other three scouts turned and left without hesitation.

The attitude has been expressed, and the team leader has already paid the price; it's time to withdraw.

After observing for a moment and finding that the enemy had indeed fled far away, Chen Mo turned around with satisfaction and quickly rushed back to loot the spoils of war.

Collecting more magical items will allow you to accumulate more research results at home.

This is another advantage of the new wasp: it can focus its attacks and preserve other parts of the body relatively intact.

Including equipment.

From that day on, Chen Mo's sphere of activity expanded again. The people of Zircon Territory were still chasing him, but their pursuit was becoming increasingly perfunctory.

Shouting and yelling, shooting arrows from a distance with exaggerated movements, but the chase just kept getting further and further away.

They escorted Chen Mo and Liu Shuang all the way to Xinpo River, the border between Nanguan Territory and Yunwu Territory.

In the world of stars, natural boundaries are traditionally used as dividing lines between territories, which is also a means of self-protection for fragmented small countries.

This river is one of the important tributaries of the Crystal River. The Marquis set up his last line of defense here, mobilizing a large number of elite troops along two bridges of different heights on the Newper River, even at the cost of delaying the attack on the South Gate City.

Then, Chen Mo chose a river mouth more than ten kilometers away from the two core defensive strongholds. With a combination of bombardment and intimidation, he drove away the few patrolling soldiers. Under the watchful eyes of the enemy's various magical beacons flying everywhere and the reconnaissance eyes, he brazenly rode the [Flying Shuttle] into the surging river.

That's right, the [Flying Shuttle] can also go underwater!

That's why it's called an all-terrain vehicle.
