Chapter 413: Miraculous Effect
"Who are these Ravens leading now?"
I looked back and forth at the hundred people in front of me, but I didn't find any commander-like presence among them. They were just like clones with uniform equipment. Even the windbreakers they wore were the same style, and there was no obvious difference at all. identity mark.
"They...are controlled by Sylvia."
After a moment of hesitation, Tavel gave me an answer that surprised me.
"That slow beat?" Out of surprise, I even accidentally revealed a relatively rude name, "I mean, that Sylvia guy controls a hundred ravens? She is not Bella now. Vera! She even cooks her own instant noodles and often forgets to put the sauce packets in, you bastard!"
By the way, did I mix something very confusing into it just now?
But no matter what, it is really exciting news that Sylvia is the commander of these ravens! That slow natural idiot knows nothing about us, and I guess even if she watched the Imperial fleet soaring in front of her, the other party would miraculously ignore it. To say that she is the current Raven Troop Commander...your sister, at least give me some less curious news at this time!
Tavel watched the changes in the expression on my face. Needless to say, he knew what his emperor was thinking. Moreover, we all knew the slow-witted attribute of a certain silver-haired man. The expression on her face was also very complicated. : "This is the fact. We don't know the specific principle, but it should be related to soul science, because the current raven is completely a mass-produced model imitated using Sylvia's soul. There is an extremely strong bond between them. Psychic connection, this connection seems to make use of the encryption algorithm in the former Emperor Bellavilla's bodyguards. We cannot crack it at all. Therefore, the actions of these recruits are still nominally controlled by Sylvia in the depths of her soul. However, What’s strange is that Sylvia herself knows nothing about this. It is a subconscious activity carried out in the deep plane of the soul. It is also because of these subconscious activities that these mass-produced ravens have the ability to act— —Theoretically."
As soon as I heard the last sentence "theoretically", I knew that Tavel's noun bombing was finally over.
Shandora's brows wrinkled as Tavel described: "Can these ravens fight? Under Sylvia's control, will these soldiers follow other people's orders?"
Tavel nodded: "Of course, we were worried about this issue at the beginning, but things went quite smoothly: Sylvia's deep soul's trust in His Majesty Chen Jun played a decisive role, which led to the Raven Troop under her name being able to We will carry out all orders that are beneficial to His Majesty Chen Jun without any obstacles. As long as we issue instructions in the name of His Majesty Chen Jun, these ravens will execute them unconditionally."
Hello! You guy with zero emotional intelligence, don't say that in front of Sandora and Qianqian! Hey hey! Sandora, don't bite, don't bite! This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! And Qianqian! That place is a major artery, you idiot!
I was brutally attacked because of Tavel’s ambiguous description and finally completed the review of the new recruits with teeth marks on my face...
As Tavel said, these recruits have shown great trust and loyalty to me because they share Sylvia's deep soul, and they can also obey Sandora and Qianqian's orders well. I originally thought that such soldiers did not have the ability to think of their own, but after saying such rude words, a certain raven immediately told me with an aggrieved face that he had a brain and euphemistically said that he had more brains than their mother. It made me embarrassed for a long time...
In other words, with a perfect personal will, is it also under the absolute control of another high-ranking soul? The Xiling Apostles are indeed incomprehensible creatures.
"Are these ravens outnumbered?"
I turned my head and asked Tavel, "One hundred experimental soldiers, this may be the maximum number that Shadow City can prepare without establishing a corresponding production line, but there are 100 million bugs above our heads!"
Tavel also looked up at the dim sky surrounded by overwhelming swarms of insects. The constant bursts of flashes showed that the battle in outer space was still fierce. After a long time, she nodded: "Indeed, this number is too exaggerated. Point... But Ravens are all warriors who are extremely good at group killing, and they are naturally intermediate apostles of the Armored Scorpion level. They can carry out continuous battles with almost unlimited endurance. The combat effectiveness of these warriors is worth looking forward to."
Next, I asked the Ravens a series of combat data in detail, mainly their defense capabilities and fighting styles. Under normal circumstances, mages are very weak physically due to years of meditation and excessive use of magic power. As a result, their bodies are more fragile than ordinary people, and most magicians have become arthritic fat men due to infrequent exercise...
But I seem to have underestimated the Xiling people's abnormality. These Sylvia clones do not have the various problems of human mages. Not only do they have strong spells, but they are also proficient in at least twenty effective fighting techniques. There is no pressure to kill a Terminator head-on with a punch. Although the defense is not as abnormal as the Scorpion Soldiers, it is not much weaker than the mass-produced Armored Scorpion when the arcane shield is opened, just like even a cold weapon enthusiast Like scorpions, they also have a photon cannon installed on their tails for firing cold guns. These great magisters who can instantly cast secondary forbidden spells can also hold up half of Yagami Temple in close combat... What kind of messy description am I saying?
After confirming the raven's fighting style, I decided to send them to the fourth day area where the insect swarm is densest. This is where the firefight first occurred. There are at least 10 million flying dragons and thousands of large and small Xiling warships. In the fierce battle there, although under the absolute technical suppression, Feilong's saliva tactics could not enter the atmosphere of the Black Egg Star, but Sicaro, who was spraying saliva over there and was overwhelming, expressed more than once that he was under great pressure.
Ya didn't give in when the urban management was chasing half of the city, and now she actually took the initiative to ask for support. It seemed that the problem in the fourth day area was indeed serious enough.
Before the ravens took off, my sister, who had been in the room for two whole days due to excessive loss of appetite, suddenly appeared in front of us, which shocked me, Qianqian and even Sandora.
"Sister...are you okay?"
I looked at my sister with trepidation, who was surrounded by a real black resentment. I felt that the sky above my head, which was dimmed by the insect swarm, was not as gloomy as the ten-meter radius around me, which was usually sunny and gentle. The onee-sama with a healing smile is now lowering her head slightly, her black hair is spread out, and coupled with the weird atmosphere that is constantly exuding next to her, I don’t think I would be surprised if onee-sama can just find a TV and get into it and pretend to be Sadako. .
"Arjun, give this to them!"
My sister suddenly raised her head, with an unprecedented gray light in her eyes, and then handed a spindle-shaped crystal prism into my hand.
I looked at the palm-sized crystal prism in my hand. This is a psionic crystal used to store energy. It is equivalent to a super-large-capacity battery. But what about the extremely dangerous aura that is constantly emitting from this crystal? What's going on? Why do I have the feeling that as long as I wear this thing on my body, I will be unlucky enough to choke on water for seventy or eighty consecutive lives?
"Sister, what is this?"
Carefully holding this cursed item that my sister had obviously made after holding it in the house for two consecutive days, I thought it would be better to ask clearly.
Sister raised her head slightly and glanced at the dim "dark clouds" in the sky. She didn't know what she associated with it, and immediately made a retching appearance. It took a long time to calm down, and murmured in a low voice: "Let them stuff this thing casually." Get into the belly of some bug, any one... and then leave it alone... to make me sick to this extent... unforgivable..."
"Do it!"
Without daring to ask any more questions, I immediately threw the crystal to the raven who was standing nearest. The latter shivered when he took the crystal, and an expression of "Why am I so unlucky" immediately appeared on his face.
It seems that you are already keenly aware of the virtues of your superiors, fellow recruits.
Because they had to escort something with an unknown purpose but that looked extremely dangerous into space, the ravens were faster than I thought. Almost in the blink of an eye, these magisters from the Xiling Empire were flying in the daytime... …Well, it’s up to heaven anyway.
"Girl, don't we have to go up?"
After thinking about it, I turned around and asked Sandora.
The latter shook his head with an indifferent smile on his face: "The current situation is just that the number of enemies is huge. This is a good opportunity to collect information on the regular army's battle against the Zerg. After all, the real protagonist of the war should be the soldier-the leader. The super apostle can turn the tide of the battle at the critical moment."
As soon as Sandora finished speaking, she heard the roar of the curved engine next to her. Pandora and her sister led the troops into the air again...
"Those two little lunatics are exceptions..."
You've had to charge into battle quite a bit yourself, right? Strictly speaking, the entire Xiling Empire is this kind of guy who can charge with passion!
Although Sandora said that this kind of tug-of-war between conventional armies does not require the appearance of leader-level apostles, I finally came to an orbital platform close to the battlefield. First, I wanted to see these so-called Xiling Magisters. How effective are the ravens in combat? Secondly - I'm really curious about what my sister has concocted.
The person responsible for guarding the orbital platform closest to the front line was a commander I was not very familiar with, but I had a vague impression of it. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly realized: This guy is selling mutton skewers at the gate of the community!
Do you think our community has hidden dragons and crouching tigers?
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The mutton kebab uncle gave me a military salute and showed no surprise at my arrival. Instead, he acted like he was on standby in a true military manner.
Less than ten meters above our heads is the planet shield. The light blue energy barrier seems to divide the world into two parts. The swarms of insects that cover the sky are frantically launching suicide attacks on the other side of the barrier. During the charge, there were scattered limbs and broken arms of insects everywhere. The various anti-aircraft artillery placed on the platform and the laser cannon, which was almost the same size as the Eiffel Tower, kept sweeping across the sky, covering our heads like wipers on a car. The swarm of bugs refreshed over and over again - I have to use the word refresh, because basically every time we knocked the bugs down, they filled the gap within a second.
Watching it from this place is indeed... much more disgusting than watching it on the ground.
"Where are the ravens?"
After watching for a long time, I didn't notice the slow-moving mass-produced models. I turned my head and asked the mutton kebab uncle, by the way, those unlucky recruits have not been killed by cannon fodder, right? This place is so full of bugs that if you throw a hundred ravens in there, you won’t even see a splash!
As soon as Uncle Mutton Kebab opened his mouth to answer, an unprecedentedly strong flash of light suddenly illuminated the entire dark platform, followed immediately by the low hissing sound of countless Zerg corpses falling on the planet's shield and being burned to ashes - due to This place is close to the edge of the atmosphere, and the lack of air causes the originally sharp sounds to become such a weak muffled sound.
I then looked up and saw a raven landing on the planet shield. She stood on top of the powerful psionic energy barrier, squatted slightly, then pulled away with both hands, and pulled out a one-meter path directly in front of her. What a long dazzling arc.
"Chi la——"
With a roar of lightning release, the electric arc released from the raven's hand actually split into hundreds of forked lightning, which ran in a cone shape toward the Zerg who had begun to rush towards this side, and was hit by this forked lightning. The Zerg didn't even have time to twitch before turning into exploding fragments, and the lightning split directly into two after hitting the target, rushing towards more enemies.
How fast does lightning travel?
Almost in the blink of an eye, my field of vision was covered by this unprecedentedly powerful power grid. Countless lightning forks used their targets as springboards, jumping and spreading among the Zerg army, covering it like a nebula. In almost the entire sky, as far as I can see, except for those mutated giant flying dragons, no Zerg can survive this lightning network for even a millisecond!
Even the giant flying dragons that survived the frontal attack by lightning only managed to survive for a while. The spittle that these huge and charred guys spit at the raven before they died would be destroyed even before they got close to the latter. The energy field emitted by the opponent evaporated, and the raven, which had just cleared the entire sky area, stood leisurely on the nether energy barrier, shooting these ugly flying toads one by one with huge instant fireballs as if for fun.
The corpses of the killed Zerg fell to the nether energy barrier below under the action of gravity, and then turned into smoke in an instant. After seeing how the Zerg used their own corpses as nutrients to produce new soldiers, We have adopted a tactic that would rather reduce the efficiency of killing enemies than reduce them to ashes. Therefore, these ravens do not hesitate to take risks to attract the Zerg to the planet's shield and then eliminate them. There is nothing more powerful than this layer of ghost. The energy barrier can more effectively undertake the task of destroying corpses and eliminating traces.
I go! This guy just wiped out at least hundreds of thousands of Zerg with one move, right? This kind of combat power is almost equivalent to Pandora's average dps! Isn’t it said that the raven is just a heroic combat soldier? Are they all leaders? This is inconsistent with the data. I want the truth!
There was a turmoil in my heart, and I suddenly discovered that during the time when the raven was madly casting forbidden spells, the psionic shield above our heads seemed to dim a little - maybe it was an illusion? The degree of dimness is so low that I'm not sure if I'm mistaken.
"Sandora, was our planet shield just under a super-strength attack?"
Although I was not sure, I still cautiously contacted the ground, and then told Sandora what I observed.
After listening to my description, Shandora immediately asked in a surprised tone: "You really haven't read the detailed information about the raven? I shared it with you!"
...You mean that pile of data in the directory alone is more than 200 megabytes? You can still kill me.
"That's where the Ravens are truly powerful!" Sandora explained in an indomitable voice, "Ravens, they have an innate ability to channel energy. They can use any energy they come into contact with as spell-casting energy to fight. The powerful talent you just mentioned is caused by the raven standing on the planet's shield to extract powerful psionic energy, and then casting spells continuously. Otherwise, you would think that with the natural conditions of the mid-level apostles, they might be able to Kill hundreds of thousands of enemies in an instant?"
It turns out that they used the energy of the entire planet's shield to release such an attack. Without the planet's shield, their combat effectiveness should be similar to that of the Scorpion Soldiers, but... I still feel that their combat effectiveness is a bit abnormal. Taller.
Even if there is endless psionic energy as a backup energy source, the power of the lightning network is not so powerful that even the last arc can instantly burn something like a flying dragon with the same physical strength as a fighter jet to ashes, right? Isn't it possible that the energy they can channel at the same time is unlimited?
However, doubts remain doubts. It is gratifying that these ravens are so effective in dealing with the worms. In the face of the forked lightning and psionic storms they continuously release, the number of bugs in this area actually exceeds the naked eye. Visible decline, the opponent's battle damage speed is finally far greater than the speed of their troop replenishment!
"Where's the crystal?"
I flashed to the nearest raven, directly triggering a void detonation that turned the Zerg with a radius of hundreds of kilometers into organic clouds, and then took the time to ask.
I can't even find which raven I gave the crystal to... they all look the same!
The raven who was questioned by me casually released thousands of shadow-throwing spears, nailed the remaining giant flying dragon in this area to the planet shield, and then replied: "Your Majesty, that crystal has been driven into a flying dragon by No. 017. However, the situation on the battlefield is quite chaotic, and we don’t know where the flying dragon went after we deliberately let it go.”
"Then...what happened? After that thing was dropped?"
