667 – Honing Themselves Through Battle
TL : GoldenLung
After performing the Emerald Phoenix Dance, Lan Mengqin looked a little pale. The wider the range of this technique, the greater the consumption.
Lan Xuanyu was the one who reminded her not only to help their team recover, but also to help the Mecha Regiment.
The benefits of doing so were obvious. Firstly, they had to get the Mecha Regiment to recognize them as Sky Fighter reinforcements and treat them as comrades, with kindness. Secondly, they had taken away the corpses of the Proto Dragons ! The military didn’t explicitly say that they couldn’t do it, but they didn’t say that they could either. They had to form a good relationship first and then they could communicate better.
Otherwise, if it was only for these 30 or so people, her consumption would be much smaller.
Lan Xuanyu whispered into Lan Mengqin’s ear, “In the future, unless we encounter danger, don’t attack anymore and act weaker. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you will be conscripted.”
Lan Mengqin snorted and said, “One Endless Life Fruit. Senior Bi Ji said that it can help me recover quickly and also strengthen my soul skill.”
Lan Xuanyu took out a box and stuffed it into her hand. “Don’t be in a rush to use it, show some weakness.”
Lan Xuanyu was grinning from ear to ear from the battle just now. 200 Proto Dragons! Among them, there was no lack of rank 4 and above. How much time would this save!
Furthermore, compared to the huge Proto Dragon horde outside, this was just the beginning. The battle would definitely continue, and the base naturally wouldn’t just stop after slaughtering a few thousand Proto Dragons to extract the Dragon Crystals.
After another five minutes, the battle ended. Thousands of Proto Dragons were killed and all their Dragon Crystals were extracted. Then, Lan Xuanyu and the rest saw a magical scene.
Numerous flat cannon muzzles extended out from the top of the city walls and a faint yellow light sprayed out from these flat cannon muzzles, pulling all the existences on the ground towards the top of the city walls. Whether it was the Proto Dragon corpses, mecha troops, or Lan Xuanyu’s team, they were all the same.
What was he doing? Was he going to suck them all into the base?
This was a traction cannon, the rainbow suction cannon. It was a soul device that could adjust the strength of the traction and was very advanced.
Lan Xuanyu felt that the suction force wasn’t too strong and it wasn’t a problem for him to break free. Also, the suction force seemed to be even stronger against metal.
The Federation Mecha Regiment increased their speed and returned to the city wall with the Rainbow Traction Cannon.
“Quickly enter the city, behind the cannon,” Yan Ruoting reminded.
Lan Xuanyu and his team quickly released their soul power and coordinated with the rainbow suction cannons to quickly return. When they used the force to charge back, they realized that these rainbow suction cannons weren’t actually trying to pull them to the top of the city walls. This was because the cannons were outside the base and could only draw them to the front.
After passing through the cannon, the suction force naturally disappeared. All the mecha pilots and Sky Fighters returned to the top of the city wall, and only the corpses of the Proto Dragons remained.
Just as Lan Xuanyu was about to take the opportunity to ‘touch’ some of the corpses of the Proto Dragons, the protective barrier blocking the Proto Dragons from afar suddenly activated. Following that, there was a loud rumble on the city walls and the violent tremors almost caused Lan Xuanyu and his team to lose their footing.
The corpses of the Proto Dragons that were sucked into the cannons were immediately ejected, forming countless parabolic arcs that flew towards the distant Proto Dragons.
Lan Xuanyu watched this scene with his mouth agape. ‘Is this how the base cleans the battlefield? Don’t they want the corpses?’
These completely metalized corpses were like cannonballs as they flew towards the group of Proto Dragons in the distance. Although they were heavy, they clearly couldn’t cause much damage to the living Proto Dragons and might even become food for these living Proto Dragons.
On top of the city walls, the guards had already been changed in an orderly manner. Another batch of mecha pilots stepped forward, leaped down, and entered the battlefield once again.
When the thousands of Proto Dragons were released, the protective barrier was like a gate that blocked the way once again. The battle continued.
When those powerful Proto Dragons launched long-range attacks, those large caliber soul cannons on the city walls would fire and intercept their attacks with incomparable precision. The entire process was like a textbook. This seemingly huge Proto Dragon Tide actually couldn’t cause any damage to the base.
“Let’s go.” Lan Xuanyu waved his hand and brought his team down from the fortress once again and entered the battle.
This was the first time their entire class was truly engaged in battle, and they were even faced with powerful Proto Dragons.
In the beginning, other than being nervous and excited, everyone was somewhat uneasy. After all, there were almost no opportunities for over 30 people to fight together. Everyone was usually busy with their own cultivation and didn’t have the time to practice group coordination.
On the other hand, actual combat was undoubtedly the best opportunity to hone themselves. They were all the elites of Shrek Academy and had accumulated a lot. Their potential was gradually revealed on the battlefield.
Everyone’s coordination became more coordinated. Every single assault type soul ,aster was able to hold their own and use Qian Lei as the core to block the frontal assault of the Proto Dragons.
What Qian Lei displayed was a valiant frontal strength that was akin to an iron wall. At this moment, he had already summoned four behemoths to protect his sides. Although these behemoths couldn’t be compared to his Golden Behemoth, they were still comparable to the strength of a rank 5 Proto Dragon. With Qian Lei, they were like an insurmountable fortress. They tore apart the body of the Proto Dragons and prevented them from advancing.
Control-type soul masters played a huge role on the battlefield, controlling the entire battlefield and preventing the Proto Dragons from unleashing their strongest battle power. The long-range soul masters were responsible for intercepting the Proto Dragons’ long-range attacks and attacking them.
The agility-type soul masters were in charge of killing and obtaining the Dragon Source Crystals as well as cleaning up the battlefield. As the core of the class, Lan Xuanyu didn’t directly engage in battle. He wandered among his teammates and released his golden-patterned and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass from time to time to strengthen his teammates. At the same time, he was like a vacuum cleaner as he collected the Proto Dragon corpses.
This time, Lan Xuanyu did not allow Bai Xiuxiu, Tang Yuge, and Bing Tianliang to charge out and engage in a battle of killing because there was no need for that. Their killing speed against the Proto Dragons was much faster than that of the Mecha Regiment. If they were to take the initiative to attack, their consumption would be much higher and it would not be beneficial for a prolonged battle. Lan Xuanyu’s team did not have any substitutes, and in a team battle, their killing speed was not slow at all. They were like bulldozers sweeping forward. Everywhere they went, there was not a single gold coin left and not a single corpse was left.
Yan Ruoting gradually calmed down from her shock as she looked at the young people cooperating skillfully. She could not help but sigh in her heart. This was Shrek! There were truly geniuses from Shrek Academy.
A class of Shrek students was actually so strong. Without using a mecha, their fighting strength was not inferior to a regular mecha team. One must know that this was the Federation’s ace mecha team. Every mecha master had at least four rings and had strong mecha piloting skills.
Through her observations, she discovered that among the young people in Shrek Academy, there were about five to six persons with six soul rings. The rest had all around five soul rings and there seemed to be only one with four soul rings. It was their commander, but he had four black soul rings.
The others were clearly stronger than him, but they carried out his orders very well and didn’t hesitate at all.
In the beginning, they were a little confused, but as the two battles progressed, their coordination became better.
Also, Yan Ruoting realized that Lan Xuanyu’s command was also changing. From time to time, he would pull back one or two people from the front and let them rest at the back. While maintaining the lethality, he would reduce the consumption of their entire class.
