Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-Nine Traps
bsp;More than two hundred soldiers took two large interstellar aerostats and sailed to the mission location.
Qianye felt the long-lost excitement before going into battle. Just by looking at the supplies distributed for the mission, he could tell how difficult it was. It is said that there will be more than one warrior-level warrior in that base!
A total of ten physical force bombs were distributed, and they were not ordinary silver, but mithril that had been specially processed by the force of dawn. Both the dagger and the bayonet were replaced with special weapons coated with a layer of mithril. These are truly high-end goods!
At the same time, all the soldiers on the expedition were equipped with special red scorpion combat armor.
This kind of armor has a special Force array imprinted inside it. After activating the circuit with the Force, it will form a Force shield, which greatly improves the defense effect against the dark Force in a short period of time. In the past, such armor was only provided to officers above the Red Scorpion level, but this time every soldier on the expedition received a set, including Qianye.
The aerostat will fly for five consecutive days before reaching Western Xinjiang.
When the airship took off, Wei Li's voice sounded in the troop transport cabin through the copper pipe: "This mission order was personally signed by Commander Lin Xitang. It has been confirmed that the base of the dark race is a stronghold supporting the rebels. Our mission is to destroy the base at all costs, and we cannot let go of a dark race warrior!"
All the soldiers held their breath involuntarily!
For them, Lin Xitang is too loud a name, and his life itself is a legend! However, for Red Scorpion, his existence has special meaning.
It was a great battle between the empire and the dark race ten years ago. The Red Scorpions were one of the main legions on the frontal battlefield, but they suffered an unprecedented tragic defeat.
The imperial reinforcements were dragged into the void and unable to land by the 'Rainbow Turbulence' celestial phenomenon that was rare in a century. However, the Beifu Army led by Lin Xitang bypassed the Death Star Road and miraculously appeared at the strategic battlefield. The attack of the dark race army, which was several times larger than before, allowed more than 100,000 imperial troops to escape smoothly.
If not for Lin Xitang's miraculous performance in that battle, the Red Scorpion Legion might have been removed from the Imperial Army. This time the mission order was actually signed by Lin Xitang himself, which is a supreme honor for every Red Scorpion warrior who can participate in the mission!
Wei Li's voice suddenly turned low: "I think you all know how difficult this mission is. Everyone, including me, must be prepared to die in battle. Red Scorpion is fearless. For the empire! For Lin Shuai!”
None of the soldiers were too impassioned, they just repeated in a low voice with serious expressions, "Red Scorpion is fearless. For the empire! For Lin Shuai!"
The two interstellar airships flew tens of thousands of kilometers, crossed the vast mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the western frontier of the empire. It was dark when they appeared outside the target city.
Night is when the dark races are most active. Generally, humans will avoid decisive battles with dark races at night. But for this mission, the moment of attack was chosen when the night was darkest and the power of the dark race was strongest.
Precisely because it was unexpected that the empire would make a surprise attack at such a moment, it had an unexpected effect. This is the reason why Red Scorpion was chosen to fight, because among the five elite legions of the empire, Red Scorpion is the best at night fighting.
The airship flew over the city, and the Red Scorpion warriors jumped off one by one and landed in the city. They divided themselves into more than a dozen teams and searched separately.
The night was very dark, and a full moon hung in the sky, spreading its pale gray moonlight to the earth. The city was quiet, with no lights or people at all, just like an empty dead city.
Qianye walked on the street and looked around cautiously, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
According to the empire's intelligence system, everything in this city is operating normally, and it even maintains normal communications with surrounding cities. But now that we are in the city, even a true rookie will know that there is nothing normal here.
No human-inhabited city could be so silent and lifeless. And this city is so clean. It seems like it is cleaned every day. There is no garbage or dust on the streets. It was so clean that it almost didn't look like someone was living in it.
On the empty street, Qianye’s footsteps continued to echo, repeating themselves endlessly. Qianye frowned slightly and slowed down, so the footsteps disappeared. However, the other veterans on the same team walked steadily and steadily, not caring about the sound of their footsteps.
By now, all warriors know that the dark race must be aware of it, and there is no point in trying to make a sneak attack. But this time, a full thirty Red Scorpions were dispatched, and they were led by Colonel Wei Lishi. Even a forceful attack was enough to give them a try.
Qianye became increasingly nervous. He gently pulled the trigger of the gun and pressed a mithril bullet into the chamber. One shot of this mithril bullet can send the dark race below level four back to heaven. Qianye is no longer prepared to hold back. As long as he sees the dark race, he will give him a thunderous blow!
The streets were still dead silent, and fog appeared at some point. In the blink of an eye, the whole city was shrouded in hazy fog. Through the thick fog, it seemed as if the buildings had come alive, twisting and staring maliciously at the hundreds of scorpions that had invaded their territory.
When Qianye passed by a street intersection, he suddenly felt something moving in the alley.
He immediately took two steps back and looked into the alley again. Upon seeing this, Qianye's eyes immediately widened!
In the alley, dense black shadows appeared at some point and were walking silently!
"Dark race!" Qianye shouted, and at the same time he pulled the trigger without hesitation. A large amount of the force in his body immediately disappeared, and the mithril bullet shot into the alley with dazzling white light!
In an instant, the silver light illuminated the entire alley. This silver light is also highly harmful to dark races. Especially for some dark races with strong night vision, if they accidentally look directly at the silver light, they may even be blinded!
Silver light fell, and pitiful screams suddenly rang out in the alley. Countless dark races covered their faces and squatted down in pain. The black figure at the front was directly hit by a mithril bullet, and his body suddenly ignited with pale silver flames of the Force!
This kind of silver flame is extremely sticky, and will burn violently when it comes into contact with the dark force. In the blink of an eye, the silver flames spread to a dozen black figures, wrapping them all in fierce fire.
The result of this shootout was beyond imagination, but Qianye’s hair almost stood on end. There are too many dark races, too many! The entire alley was crowded with warriors of the dark race, and there were countless black shadows at the end of the alley. It was impossible to count how many enemies there were!
Qianye shouted, stepped back quickly, distanced himself, and at the same time pressed another mithril bullet into the gun chamber. Sure enough, several black shadows suddenly flew out of the alley and rushed towards Qianye like lightning! These are the real warriors of the dark race. Those who come in dense crowds are just cannon fodder used to contain and consume ammunition.
Qianye kept flying back, then suddenly stopped and raised his gun, firing at the same time. Silver light erupted from the muzzle of the gun. A dark race warrior who was flying in the air was instantly blasted backwards, and was hit by silver flames in the air. The package burned and screamed.
Qianye had no time to press in the third mithril bullet, but there were still two warriors of the dark race rushing towards him from the air!
At this moment, two roars sounded in succession from behind Qianye, and silver light shot out against Qianye's side, blasting away the two dark race warriors.
Qianye looked back and saw two veterans gesturing desperately to him to hide behind him. No matter how talented Qianye is, he is still a rookie after all. The strength of the second-level soldier is his flaw, and he is incomparable to these fifth- and sixth-level Black Scorpion veterans.
After retreating behind the veterans, Qianye was able to take a breath. He looked around, seeing rising flames and silver trails left by Force bombs as they streaked across the night sky.
The battle broke out in an instant, and the entire city became a battlefield. The Red Scorpion Legion, which was originally thought to have invested superior forces, was instantly overwhelmed by countless dark warriors and divided into dozens of places. The situation was precarious.
Qianye was panting desperately. He had just fired two mithril bullets in succession, which consumed most of his force power. Now he was like a fish thrown onto the shore, and his whole lungs seemed to be on fire.
"How could this happen! This is not right!" A voice in Qianye's heart screamed desperately, but his brain seemed to be frozen for a moment, unable to think more deeply about what was wrong.
The battle became intense in the blink of an eye, and the light of the Force and fire illuminated the entire city like daylight.
In the city, dozens of tyrannical dark auras rose into the sky, like huge smoke pillars. That is a truly strong man with powerful dark force. The Red Scorpion level warriors also released their strength and faced these powerful opponents respectively.
In a block in the distance, there was a sudden and continuous roar, and buildings collapsed one after another. In the blink of an eye, the entire block was razed to the ground! From that direction, Wei Li shouted fiercely.
The colonel's body surged with light and suddenly soared into the sky, rising hundreds of meters into the night sky. Four ferocious black figures followed him into the night sky, and the two sides began to fight fiercely in the air!
Qianye looked around and saw enemies everywhere. Countless people with crazy faces rushed out from the alleys, from the buildings, and from the rooftops on both sides of the street.
These people's faces were blue and purple, and their bodies were wrapped with a dark aura. They threw themselves at the soldiers of the Red Scorpion Legion without risking their lives. They are cannon fodder of the dark race, humans who have been infected and assimilated by the dark force! The real warriors of the dark race often hide among the cannon fodder and seize the opportunity to suddenly injure people.
The guns of each Red Scorpion warrior were spitting fire, spraying metal barrage at the fastest speed. The cannon fodder is swept down layer by layer, but more cannon fodder will pour out from all directions. Their number is simply endless!
In the blink of an eye, Qianye emptied all the magazines. In this environment, the force gun also lost its effect. Qianye immediately dropped his automatic rifle, slung the force gun behind his back, and then pulled out the silver-plated dagger and thorn.
Around, many veterans have begun to engage in close combat with the dark race.
A Red Scorpion captain shouted: "This is a trap!"
"All retreat, retreat immediately!"
"All red scorpions stay behind!"
