Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: Killing Intent Without Remorse Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: Killing Intent Without Remorse Li Yao now realized that although Wangyu was the team leader, Jasmine was the one in command.
“This artillery fire is too fierce,” Jasmine frowned slightly as she watched the Void Lord she had summoned get blasted to death by a single shot.
“The power of the cannons is one reason, but the fuzziness of the hit points is another reason. Your Void Lord is just a leader-level entity, so it's very normal for it to not withstand a hit from these iron-filings-made artillery shells,” Li Yao explained.
“I see, that makes sense. It seems I have been negligent and haven't studied the latest announcement enough.”
“There's no need to worry about that. Given time, everyone will naturally come to understand and adapt,” Li Yao said with a smile.
“Now, the losses are too great when rushing forward in the later stages. The Iron Legion is indeed hard to deal with.” As the artillery fire continued, not only their legion but other cannon fodder units also suffered heavy losses.
“It's easy to understand. If the Iron Legion didn't have the means to wipe out expendable undead, they would have been exterminated long ago. Actually, the solution is simple. Everyone instinctively avoids the range of the artillery fire. Taking it a step further, you see that the bore of the cannons and the slots in the city walls are basically the same size, indicating that the cannons are completely fixed. This means the range of the artillery shells is also fixed. Most of the undead don't have clever brains, but we are different. We can order our troops to disperse temporarily and completely avoid the range of the artillery fire. Even if the attack is slower for a short while, it's safer,” Li Yao elaborated.
“You actually have special equipment for your eyes.” Using the Demon Eye, Jasmine indeed found that the barrels were fixed, just as Li Yao had said, and she quickly gave orders for part of the second echelon to actually fall back, “Your reminder has saved us from unnecessary losses on the assault.”
“That remains to be seen,” Li Yao said, observing the battlefield. “The enemy is fortified on their ramparts, and our stone throwers can't truly suppress them, and the Blade Cars are even less effective–it's better than nothing. Those iron war beasts are no joke.”
In truth, there were plenty of clever players. After several rounds of artillery fire, many had realized that the artillery fire couldn't move, so the casualties had definitely decreased.
The frontline troops had already approached the city walls and then hurled bottles of siege potions. As the potions landed on the walls, the walls emitted white smoke and became pitted in moments, with many protrusions. Clearly, there was no need for siege ladders in this magical world; as long as it was possible to climb, the ascent was entirely feasible, especially for the monsters.
But at the same time, Gatling guns on the city walls also opened fire crazily, spewing streams of fiery serpents and bullets. The foremost troops, no matter what cannon fodder legion, were shredded, especially the Skeletons that were instantly reduced to piles of broken bones under the barrage.
On Li Yao's side, the artillery fire was particularly fierce because the enemy's secondary Hero was manning a Battle Puppet, also wielding a Gatling gun and crazily spraying bullets.
Even though Earth Elements were strong in defense, under the intense storm of bullets, their bodies sprouted many transparent holes and subsequently crumbled into useless dirt.
“Second echelon, get the tanks ready to try and see if they can withstand the bullet storm,” Jasmine said, her expression stern.
“Good thing we have some preparations,” Wangyu waved his hand, and two Abominations carrying a giant tree stump wrapped in a metal skin charged forward. A Ghoul Hunter spider also stepped into the range of the bullet storm.
Everyone watched as the metal skins were pierced like paper, and under the insane spray of bullets, wood chips flew everywhere. In just three seconds, they were turned into sieves, and the two Abominations were swept into a pile of shredded flesh with broken hooks and chains piled together.
The Ghoul Hunter spider tried to block with its two front limbs, sparking wildly at first, but after a while, even the limbs shattered, its shell cracked open with a loud bang, and it too became riddled with holes.
The people behind watched with pale faces; the two Abominations and the Ghoul Hunter spider were of Silver Hero caliber and yet suffered such a fate, let alone the elites. It was even worse for the players whose attributes were a notch lower.
“No, it's that the deputy hero's bullets are too powerful, the other Gatlings aren't as formidable. Look at the team beside us,” Jasmine said with a troubled expression, “Can Huangfeng assassinate the deputy hero up there?”
“Big sister, you must be joking. The enemy is on the fortress, and he's a high-level leader, plus with Battle Puppets, even a stealth attack is impossible,” the thief Huangfeng replied with a wry smile.
“Then we've suffered a huge loss this time,” Jasmine said. Even though she excelled at command, she couldn't make something out of nothing. The resources under her control were too limited, and the limitations of the troop types were too severe. They did have thousands of air forces, but they were practically delivering themselves as easy targets in the face of the enemy's bullet storm.
“If it's just this deputy hero, then leave him to me,” Li Yao said.
“You?” Jasmine was puzzled, “How can you, a Hunter, kill a deputy hero? Don't tell me you've mastered the Infinite Range Arrow like Prairie Fire.”
“No, I have another way. I'll hold this hero back, and I won't even let his attributes boost his army. If that's the case, do you have confidence?” Li Yao said.
“If the army isn't bolstered by a leader's attributes, not taking at least one corner of the city walls first would indeed make us useless,” Jasmine confidently said.
“Good, then get your air forces ready,” Li Yao said while locking his eyes on the deputy hero on the city walls. Then he activated his skill, which was the first time he had used the special effect of the Demon God Badge.
The deputy hero Collet, who was rampantly firing, suddenly felt he had been pinpointed. He immediately spotted Li Yao in the distance but didn't take it seriously. However, at that moment, his figure vanished, and so did Li Yao's.
Boom, boom…
With two booms, the two landed directly in a forest the size of about two football fields, shrouded in a haze on the perimeter as if enveloped in chaos.
“A space constructed from divine thoughts,” Collet's face drastically changed. Although he didn't know what was happening, seeing Li Yao, he knew it was definitely related to the person who had targeted him. All he had to do was kill his opponent, and everything would be resolved.
Thus, he didn't hesitate to pull the trigger again, and a dense bullet storm poured out once more.
Li Yao dodged behind a large tree with a Flash. This was within his authority; he could construct the basic terrain and environment, but that was the extent of it.
The tree shielding Li Yao was mowed down in moments, followed by another large tree behind him.
Li Yao gave a bitter laugh; his dream was to overwhelm all enemies with a bullet storm, but before he could start, he got to experience it first-hand.
The enemy was a high-level leader using the war machine Gatling. If the bullets hit him, his slender body would be killed without a doubt.
However, Li Yao quickly thought of a strategy. The light in his eyes burst forth two inches, and before the trees behind him fell, he flashed out, and then his gaze landed on his opponent. A vast amount of data flooded into Li Yao's mind, and the enemy turned his gun barrel, as if time had stopped at that moment…
