Werewolves are hunters in the dark night. This naturally extraordinary subhuman race has a super talent of [dark perception].
This makes their perception at night extremely strong.
After listening to Bazel's words, Ren didn't dare to be careless at all and woke up Karl and Tust.
Then, just to be on the safe side, he scattered the feces of high-level monsters purchased at a high price around the tent, and also arranged some insect repellent.
This is a necessary means to prevent "animal tide".
... .
Bazel was a little disapproving when he saw Renn being so careful.
"Don't worry too much, kid. Mechanical City is the best way to resist Warcraft. With these three 'Ghouls' Mechanical City, even if there are a few fifth-level Warcraft, you may not be able to get any benefits. What's more, , and me."
He is very confident that even if he encounters an accident, he can keep Ren safe.
"Well, it's better to be prepared."
Renn is not worried about himself, because Bazel will definitely protect him with all his strength.
But this legend is a bodyguard, not a nanny, and Renne has no right to ask him to protect others.
He was afraid that something would happen to little Carl and his grandson Tuster.
In case of an attack by a beast horde, be more prepared and you will be prepared.
... .
Mr. Tust and Mr. Tust did not notice Bazel's existence.
They looked at Renn's careful arrangement and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Tust asked: "Will the beast tide be serious tonight?"
Renn nodded: "Yes. There will definitely be high-level monsters coming. The Mechanical City may not be a big problem by then, but the ground camp will be hard to say..."
After all, the ground camp only has a steel wall in front of it, and no one can guarantee that it can stop the beast tide.
He thought about it and then said: "Grandpa Tust, if there is a real fight, I am a doctor and I will probably be drafted to the city wall to participate in battlefield first aid. Then you should be careful and beware of flying monsters attacking the camp, and Poisonous insect..."
Hearing these words, Tust smiled and said: "Boy Ren, you can go with ease. Although my old bones are going to die, they are not so weak that even a few monsters can kill me." extent."
When the old man said this, he sounded inexplicably confident, and Renn was stunned.
The monsters in the "Plague Swamp" are no joke. Even the third- and fourth-level extraordinary beings are not guaranteed to survive. Where does the old man's confidence come from
If Bazel had said this from the air, he would not be surprised at all, but this patient who relies on a robotic arm to walk.
Is the old man serious
As if seeing Ren's doubts, Tust's wise eyes were shining, and he smiled slightly: "A real mechanic is not a craftsman who only hides in a factory and knocks. The power of machinery, not It will be inferior to any extraordinary ability..."
"..."
Renn still sounded a little... suspicious.
Mechanics are originally a group of guys who are obsessed with "research on foreign objects". They are just as weak as mages. The positioning is similar to that of a doctor, a somewhat auxiliary logistics profession.
They did create some powerful mechanical equipment, but weren't they all to serve other extraordinary professions
For example, mechanical skeletons in the melee sequence, various firearms and ammunition in the musketeer sequence, and mechanical cities.
Tust smiled and said nothing more.
At this time, Karl on the side also said with a serious face: "Brother Ren, don't worry, I will take good care of grandpa!"
After a pause, he looked like "I'll tell you a little secret" and said, "I have a heavy-duty 'Little Raccoon Mechanical Battle Suit', it's super awesome!"
"..."
Renn no longer had any hope for Karl's aesthetics.
Judging from the name, it's not something too cool.
Moreover, little Carl has not yet awakened to transcendence, so he probably doesn't have a clear concept of the word "awesome" yet.
But then he discovered that little Carl was wearing a strange mechanical armor. There are many mechanical devices that are too familiar to see on it, including springs, bearings, gears, hydraulic transmission devices, and some strange empty sockets.
Uh... It seems like this is a mechanical lining suit used to hang some external armor
Ren wanted to ask a few more questions.
But before they could communicate more, the "Plague Base" attack alarm sounded.
... .
Woo...woo...woo.
The flares shot into the sky, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.
On the radio, war announcements also resounded throughout the base.
"Hunters, please be aware that a large-scale 'tide of beasts' has been detected around the base. All personnel have entered level one combat readiness!"
"Repeat it again..."
"..."
Within a few seconds, countless excited hunters emerged from the tents in the open space of the base.
Years of hunting in the wilderness have made them highly alert. As soon as they heard any movement, they quickly entered into combat gear.
"Hahaha... Those barbarians were indeed fooled. It looks like we are going to have a good hunt tonight to make a contribution!"
"I've heard from other bases that this kind of positional warfare is all about giving money. I didn't expect that we also got lucky..."
"Let's go, brothers, get the guy on the wall!"
"..."
The "tide of beasts" attacked the camp. Instead of thinking it was a bad thing, the hunters were so excited that they rushed up the city wall.
At this time, the "supervision team" wearing white mage robes also appeared in the camp one after another.
These mages will check the "deserters" in the camp. If they are found to be non-logistics professionals and fail to go to the city wall within the specified time, they will be executed directly!
Ren didn't dare to stay in the tent longer, "Grandpa Tust, Carl, please be careful, I'll go first."
Tust: "Boy Ren, take care of yourself. Don't worry, I, an old man like me, will take care of myself."
Karl: "I will also take good care of grandpa!"
... .
Renn is the kind of person who just wants to make a fool of himself. He is not in a hurry to make contributions and slowly climbs up the steel fence.
When we climbed the city wall, the first wave of monsters had not yet approached, and the visibility outside the camp was only one or two thousand meters. No one could see how many monsters there were in the depths of the swamp.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
"Let us in quickly..."
But at this time, those who were probably the scouts sent out to conduct reconnaissance ran back from a distance, their faces pale with fright.
"Hahaha... Look how scared these guys are. I don't know how many monsters and barbarians there are in the mist."
"I hope there will be more, otherwise the firepower of the three mechanical cities will be completely covered, and we will not get much benefit."
"..."
Seeing their colleagues being chased and running wildly underground, the hunters on the city wall laughed out loud.
Holding muskets, smoking cigarettes, chatting and kicking, it was very leisurely.
And at this time,
The scout outside the city wall also ran closer and shouted loudly.
"Tide of beasts! They are lord-level monsters!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Not long after, everyone saw a behemoth over two hundred meters tall approaching slowly from the fog.
... .
At this time, Bazel also quietly appeared next to Ren,
"Hey... a lord-level monster actually came!"
The legend let out a chuckle and smacked his lips: "It's still a very rare elemental monster! Tsk, tsk, a lot of people are going to die in the camp tonight..."
Having said that, except for a hint of schadenfreude, Bazel's face didn't show much seriousness.
Seeing that the bosses were so calm, Renn saw that he had nothing to panic, but he was also a little curious: "Lord level?"
This is only introduced in the "Encyclopedia of Warcraft".
"Lord level" monsters are still above the beast king level.
When a hunter walks in the wilderness, he may never see a live "lord-level" monster in his life. Most of the ones I’ve seen are GG.
The appearance of monsters of this level means that all the monsters within a radius of dozens of kilometers will probably be driven away.
The scale of this beast tide seems to be quite large.
... .
"The fog dissipates!"
"Flare!"
After two more orders, the vision suddenly became clearer.
This allowed everyone on the wall to see the huge monster clearly.
This is a monster like a mud fountain and a mountain.
Ren recognized this thing, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Swamp Lord?"
"[Swamp Lord]: The ultimate evolutionary form of the 'Mud Monster', a fifth-level lord-level creature with a lifespan of 300-2000 years. It is more accurate to say it is a Warcraft, rather than an elemental monster, with almost 100% condensed magic core. Living in swamp areas with strong water and earth elements.
—"Encyclopedia of Warcraft"
This thing is very troublesome for extraordinary people.
This monster is covered in wet and flowing mud. It is said to be a solid body, but it is almost 100% immune to physical damage. Even if it is magical damage, as long as the 100-meter-thick mud layer outside its body is not blasted, it will not cause much substantial damage at all. .
As long as the body is in contact with the earth, it can absorb a steady stream of earth element power.
Almost "immortal"!
... .
It was also the first time for Ren to see a lord-level monster. He asked curiously: "Senior Bazel, I read that the "Encyclopedia of Warcraft" introduced some lord-level monsters. It is said that their strength is roughly equivalent to The 'Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters' among humans, when you are at your peak, can you kill it?"
"Your statement is too one-sided..."
Bazel looked a little weird when he heard that, shook his head and said: "Even extraordinary abilities can restrain each other. There is no absolute saying that if you are at level 5, you will definitely be able to beat level 5. When you encounter ability restraint, even if it is There is a big gap between one or two levels, and it is possible to kill them by leapfrogging."
Ren didn't quite understand.
Bazel pointed at the [Swamp Lord] in the distance and said: "The most restrained elemental creatures like us are extraordinary beings like us who attack in the physical system."
After a pause, he continued: "Similarly, it is basically impossible for me to kill this [Swamp Lord] alone, but it is not a threat to me at all. This thing usually hides in the swamp, moves slowly, and attacks The method is not strong. Although it is a 'lord-level' monster, it poses a limited threat to high-level extraordinary beings. If it were replaced by some fourth- and fifth-level magical extraordinary beings, the attack methods would be more effective... "
"Oh, so that's it."
After hearing this, Ren finally understood something.
Bazel smacked his lips and said: "Those barbarians are quite smart. With this monster blocking the front, 70% to 80% of the artillery in the Mechanical City has been disabled."
When Ren heard this, he said, "Huh? Isn't that base very dangerous?"
The triangular layout of this "plague base" is very clever. No matter which direction the beast tide comes from, it will be covered by the firepower of at least two mechanical cities.
But that mud monster can probably block the firepower of a mechanical city with one head.
This will result in a large blind area for artillery coverage.
Moreover, the city wall they were standing on was only fifty meters high, while the [Swamp Lord] was more than two hundred meters high.
"It's not that bad."
Bazel shook his head and said: "You haven't seen the true heritage of the 'City of Glory'. Apart from these mechanical cities, those mages are the truly terrifying war harvesters! It's not impossible to kill them. However, it's not impossible to kill them. , the casualties will not be small..."
... .
But the scale of this beast wave is beyond imagination.
However, even so, there was not much chaos in the "Plague Base".
The horn of war is ringing, and everyone is in their place and performing their duties.
The first round of artillery had already blasted into the darkness, crackling into a brilliant fire.
When the artillery hit the [Swamp Lord], a few harmless mud bubbles popped up, and it instantly returned to its original state. Physical attacks have almost no effect on this elemental monster.
It slowly approached the base with hundreds of artillery pieces, and behind it there were shadowy groups of magical beasts whose number could not be seen clearly.
"Fire spell, chant and prepare!"
"Fire spray gun, prepare!"
"First-level magicians and other monsters start chanting when they enter 1,000 meters, second-level mages at 700 meters, third-level magicians at 400 meters..."
"The artillery is delayed for 10 seconds!"
"..."
The hunters of the "City of Glory" already have a skillful way of dealing with World of Warcraft. In the Mechanical City, a group of hundreds of mages are already preparing to chant magic spells.
They are also waiting, and when the monster gets closer, they will collectively cast fire spells.
Once the mud monster is burned dry, the monster can be broken into pieces with a few shots.
This is the power of a large team. Even a "lord-level" monster will never benefit!
... ..
But suddenly,
"wrong!"
Just when [Swamp Lord] was approaching the base, Bazel seemed to sense something.
His expression suddenly became serious. Looking at the thick fog behind the mud monster, his pupils shrank suddenly: "There is also a 'lord-level' monster!"
Renn: "???"
After carefully sensing it for a moment, Bazel confirmed his judgment.
At this moment, the relaxed look on his face finally disappeared, and he frowned slightly: "Someone cast a spell to blind the perception... It seems that a high-level priest among the barbarians took action."
After a pause, the legend murmured: "The two 'lord-level' monsters will probably bring more than 100,000 monsters to attack the city. The scale of this 'beast tide' will probably be far beyond imagination."
Ren was surprised when he heard this: "Huh? Then... can the base be able to block it?"
"There are high-level priests who are obviously well-prepared. If only the monsters attack the city, the defense of the three mechanical cities will not be a big problem, but the camp below will probably suffer..."
Bazel suddenly returned to his nonchalant look and said, "But what does it have to do with us whether you can block it or not? At worst, I will take you away..."
Ren was shocked when he heard this.
Suddenly, my heart felt a little heavy. There were tens of thousands of hunters in this ground camp. Now, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties...
