Hello, Arknights

Chapter 387 Trap

A cage, a plot that has determined the Duke's mind, a final crazy feast, the madness represented by flesh and blood and the language of life take root and spread at the end of this war.

Twelve Earthshakers surrounded by thick blood mist opened their four arms, and the scarlet fluorescent stripes on their sides floated violently, and actually broke away from the monster's body. As those red stripes almost dripped with blood surged, the body of the behemoth that the Victorian army feared the most shriveled up quickly, and its fanatical eyeballs shrank and dried up, leaving only a bit of glaring scarlet remaining in the terrifying huge eye sockets. The dry body seemed to have experienced a hundred years in an instant, and the heavy rain and wind wiped out the last trace of the crazy creature's existence in an instant.

"Them?!" This should have been good news worth celebrating. Even if the twelve Bloody Earthshakers were placed on the battlefield outside, they would be enough to attract the attention of the dukes. Moreover, their appearance and the fact that they were arranged to fight the finale showed that they were definitely not good guys.

But they died so absurdly before the war began. Could it be...

No matter how optimistic they are, they are not stupid enough to think that this is a good thing.

The silent source of evil at the end of the war stretched out his hand, and all the strange and creepy fluorescent stripes fell into his palm. His ten fingers were interlocked, and his body, which seemed extremely thin compared to other monsters, stood up slowly and oppressively. The next moment, a strange red light suddenly burst out from his small palm!

But the other blood-red monsters turned a blind eye to this and did not give Victoria much time to react. After several generations of sharing meals, the blood-red monsters standing here were all terrible killing machines.

In terms of numbers, the Victorian army has an absolute advantage. Although not all of them have entered the city, the number of people occupying the positions has exceeded two thousand, and the blood-red monsters rushing towards them can be seen at a glance, and there are probably no more than a thousand.

"Hold the line! Crossbowmen! Magicians!!" The non-commissioned officers on the front line roared with all their might, and the instructions were accurately transmitted to every combat node through tactical equipment. Victoria's superb military quality was reflected at this moment. His roar was just a signal. Not only the crossbowmen, but also the well-trained gunners, after receiving the instructions from the tactical equipment, accurately and correctly dropped the artillery array into the enemy group before the crossbowmen and magicians made a second round of interception!

However, in the firelight, a demonic figure rushed out like lightning!

The low-level blood-colored monsters that retreated back into the city seemed to have rushed towards the battleship battlefield again through the underground passage. These special blood-colored monsters were waiting in the ruins, and their own degree of reinforcement was extremely terrifying. With just one encounter, the sharp blood-colored tide tore through the Victorian army's line, like applying fresh paint on a gray canvas. The "painting" quickly stained the fabric and dripped onto the ground.

Originium skills and sharp crossbows seemed futile in the face of their charging momentum. Several arrows fired simultaneously that could collapse load-bearing walls could only pierce their skin. The remaining effect of the barrage formed by the Originium skills on the monsters was swallowed by the blood mist in just two or three seconds. However, when they pounced on the soldiers' front-line chariots, they shattered most of the chariots with one claw, and leaped into the position, slaughtering an entire combat team in a breath!

"Too fast! Sir, we can't see their movements clearly--" The torn vocal cords could no longer convey the battle situation. The bloody monster did not stop at all. It did not stop for flesh and blood, nor did it completely kill the soldiers. It just kept advancing the counterattack front.

"!" Frost Star's eyes turned cold. She looked at Ling Dengxian, and seeing that the latter had no intention of stopping her, she stepped out. In an instant, the snow monster princess used the rain to change the road conditions of the blood-colored monster's charge. The ice and snow froze the ground, forming a thin but extremely hard layer of ice. The blood-colored monsters that were still charging suddenly lost their ability to grip the ground, and were in collective chaos for a while. The unlucky ones were even frozen in place, and their limbs were torn apart by the unabated charge of their counterparts behind them, and they were covered in boiling blood.

"Ahem... Yangge, Big Bear." Frost Star realized how difficult these monsters were as soon as she tried her hand. The bloody monsters with broken limbs howled while being trampled by their own kind, but returned to the battlefield with new claws in a moment. Under the frost controlled by her, what greeted the slowed-down monsters was the Victorian army that was urgently rebuilding the front-line combat nodes.

Looking at the postures of the blood-colored monsters, the two did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to place Originium ice crystals on both sides of Frost Star. She had long been accustomed to the cold feeling, both physical and murderous.

Therefore, she quickly discovered the bloody monster that was targeting her.

It stood there, and unlike its other companions, its withered body seemed extremely fragile, but in its empty eye sockets was beating with even greater violence. After just a moment of eye contact, the bloody magic, like the pervasive mites, invaded the entire battlefield through the body of its companion, spreading death with red, and the situation, which had just improved, took a sharp turn for the worse.

"What is this! Red...fog?!"

"This thing corrodes flesh and blood! My face! My face! Ahhhh—"

"I can't drive it away... Originium Technique! I have to use Originium Technique!"

But the thin red mist in the heavy rain seemed so insignificant. Things that could kill people were different from artillery, sneaking into death with the wind.

The coldness descended on the battlefield. There were no snowflakes, but the cold rain was still as sharp as a knife. The extreme cold turned the raindrops into weapons. She was familiar with the control of the battlefield and had mastered the means of regional temperature control, but Victoria's army was not prepared to deal with the cold environment at all. Even though she had restrained the impact of the temperature at close range, Victoria's soldiers were still affected. There was no sign of her appearance, and they were naturally not prepared. In the sudden change, she and the bloody monsters suffered casualties.

"Mage?! Which unit's magician is that? Why wasn't this step announced in advance in the battle plan?" The sergeant leading the team covered the deep wound on his abdomen and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Captain - be careful! Concentrate fire and kill him!!" the Victorian soldiers screamed, but it was too late.

"team leader!!"

The piercing blood-red bone spur pierced the sergeant's chest and lifted him high above his head. The owner of the sharp tail spur had a cruel and ferocious look on his face. Before the tail swung to cut the corpse in half, a chill descended, forming a line of cold light.

The white Carters' wrist twitched, and the frost blade that had been melted by the high-temperature blood solidified again. She put down the sergeant's body, with the bloody bone spur still stuck in his chest. Blood gushed out of the soldier's mouth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear. However, she did not have the energy to tidy up his remains. The bloody monster with its tail cut off fell into a frenzy. If she did not stop it, more weak people would be killed at will.

As she unleashed her Originium skills to the fullest, transforming the vast area in front of her into a field of ice and snow, while the enemy was resisting the spreading, flesh-tearing cold storm, she looked up, wanting to see Bai Ge's reaction, but she saw...

The eerie red light bloomed completely, and a substance that looked like a combination of mollusk tentacles and slender petals escaped and broke through the sky above the city. A vague red world boundary spread and fell. The silent Blood King stared at the sky, but his final gaze fell on a single figure.

Lorich's palms were clenched until they bled. Ling Dengxian could feel as if a giant beast was crashing into his body, but it was as if his spine had been pulled out from the very beginning. Unconsciously, the pent-up emotions turned from a raging state into a cotton-like mist, and finally dissipated in the wind and rain.

"...White Dove, I have the answer. The Scepter and...will not clean up this mess anymore."

"Victoria... deserves to go to hell!" An enraged Roerich leaped off the ruins and disappeared before he landed.

"What's wrong with him?" Texas hesitated and spoke. Ling Dengxian keenly noticed something unusual. Exia, Croissant, Yangge and Big Bear all began to breathe heavily, bloodshot quickly covered their eyeballs, and violent emotions rose and fell with their chests.

"Something's wrong, Ling Dengxian!" Mostima turned his wrist and the staff on his waist fell into his hand. In the instant that time slowed down, a flame flashed, and a young man flashed and took down all of them.

"Xiao Le...what's going on..." The lock and key in Mostima's hand shone brightly, and the dazzling flash dispelled some influence.

The battlefield was filled with shouts and curses that could not be drowned out by the wind and rain. The three of them could not help but carefully observe the situation, only to find that Victoria's army had been completely mixed with the bloody monsters and was caught in a one-sided massacre.

Tactics, formations, and orders all became prisoners of the violent desire for flesh and blood at this moment.

"...Sure enough, this is another form of...'plague'." Texas took a breath and felt deeply uneasy.

Mostima stared at the staff in her hand for a moment, then immediately grabbed Ling Dengxian's sleeve and handed him the "lock". "Ling Dengxian, I'm not as fast as you. Go find Liberi who usually stays with me! Quick! She's in danger!"

"Give her the lock! I'll go check on Froststar!"

"You don't have a magic wand—" Ling Dengxian saw her separate the lock and key for the first time, and realized the real purpose of needing this "magic wand".

"What are you thinking about?" Mastema smiled slightly, then said seriously, "I am Mastema. If you don't live up to your expectations, I have been planning to fight this tough battle for you from the beginning."

"Now, don't betray my trust."

Ling Dengxian glanced at Texas, who was holding Croissant. A glance made it clear what she was doing. She wouldn't act tough, but she wouldn't leave her companions' safety unprotected either.

She was well aware of the gap in positioning between herself, Ling Dengxian, and Mostima in this battle, but she was also an indispensable part.

protection.

Ling Dengxian took the staff and started running without hesitation.

At the same time, as Roerich disappeared, the silent Bloody King set off in an instant, showing no interest in the chaos on the ground. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the sharp equipment in the ruins outside the city, staring at the Duke's fleet that was gradually falling into chaos. A spiritual Bloody Earthshaker appeared at his feet without any intention of resistance.

Then came the second, the third... twelve bloody Earthshakers returned again.
