Chapter 532: Break the City!
The war was in its eighth month.
The smoke of war has cleared around the world.
At this moment, if you stand in space and look down at the entire planet, you can find that there is a large silver-white area in the center of the central continent.
It was a series of mechanical bases connected together.
There are countless bases, large and small, numbering in the tens of thousands, which gather the accumulated strength of the entire mechanical race.
At the very center of this silver-white area is the legendary Silver City.
If you want to reach the Silver City, you must fight your way through this huge group of bases.
The coalition forces of the three tribes had already reached the outermost part of this area and had fought with the mechanical tribe many times. Every time they tried to find a way to break in, but the results were not ideal.
Looking at the silver-white area in front of them, everyone had a worried look on their face.
"It will take a long time to conquer such a large area?" Li Defu squatted on the hillside of the temporary base, muttering while chewing a piece of dry grass.
"It's a pity that we don't have air advantage." Bing Lei sighed.
"If we have air superiority, we can just bomb them violently. We can bomb them for half a year. I don't believe the mechanical race can hold out!"
"This battle shouldn't have come so early."
"According to the technological comparison between our two sides, even if another ten years pass, we will not be able to gain air superiority over the Mechanical Clan. We can only find a way to break through from the ground..."
Everyone on the Bikini Bottom team was there, speaking their minds.
The mechanical clan’s air force is really too strong .
Since the beginning of the war, the three parties have rarely won air battles.
The Terrans and the Undead have very few air units, and the Zerg have many air units, but they are no match for the various anti-aircraft weapons of the Mechanoids.
Even without those anti-aircraft weapons, the Zerg would be no match for the Mechanics in a head-on confrontation between the air units of both sides.
The strength and intelligence of mechanical units far exceed those of insects of the same level.
The only few air combat victories were achieved under the command of Su Xia's ugly clone.
But Su Xia's ability is limited after all, and he cannot turn the tide alone.
The gap in absolute strength cannot be made up by two or three small-scale victories.
At this moment, in the Zerg camp.
Su Xia was standing in front of a sand table, frowning, silently thinking about feasible tactics in his mind.
The octopus monster Haidar was right beside him, whispering, "Els, the drill worms have failed. The entire mechanical area is covered by a huge energy shield. Even a fifth-level drill worm can't get in."
"Have you used the corrosive liquid I gave you?" Su Xia turned her head and asked him.
"It worked, but the energy shield was too thick and only corroded a few shallow spots. It didn't even penetrate one tenth of it."
"Well, as long as it's useful."
Su Xia nodded and secretly included the corrosion plan in the backup plan.
By now in the war, he had more than a dozen backup plans, but the success rate of each plan was not high.
The mechanical race is very smart and will not passively take a beating.
Judging from the situation, the two sides will remain in a stalemate for a long time.
Maybe the stalemate will really last for more than ten years.
How many decades does a person have in his life?
By that time, this generation of players may have already quit the game.
Everyone’s golden gaming time is only a few years. Once you get married, start a career, and enter society, you will have less time to play games.
By that time, even if I see the games I used to like, I won’t have any interest in playing them. At most, I will click on a few game-related videos to watch them, and then reminisce about the past days along with the barrage of comments.
At this time, on the human side, in the seven major gathering places.
Su Xia, the Lord of Dragon City and others were also discussing this.
"Bei Feng, with our current technology, the possibility of breaking through the mechanical base is too small." The Lord of Eagle City spoke in a sharp voice.
"You didn't keep the intelligent butler of the alien spaceship, right? Could it be that he has not passed on more powerful technology to us?" he asked Su Xia.
"Hal is just the intelligent butler of a small exploration ship. How much do you expect him to know?" Su Xia said indifferently.
"There is no need to attack the mechanical base." The Lord of Bear City said: "With our current scientific research progress, combined with the information provided by Hal, we can usher in the interstellar era in a few years."
"Everyone knows this, but we're just afraid that the Mechanoids are faster than us!"
"Can we use nuclear weapons to blast open a passage?"
"It's hard to say. The Mechanical Clan's bases are not limited to this one on the ground. Most of them are deep underground."
"What if the Mechanical Clan is pushed into a corner and they drop nuclear weapons on our cities?"
"We are afraid of this and that. When will this war end? We might as well withdraw our troops!"
“…”
After discussing for most of the day, we still couldn't come to a conclusion.
The current stalemate seems to be the best situation.
The mechanical race also seemed to intend to maintain this stalemate.
A stalemate in war can best promote the development of science and technology. Many black technologies were developed during war.
In this way, time passed slowly and it was the tenth month of the war.
The attacks of the three tribes all failed.
It seemed that the war would end its first year in this stalemate.
However, at the end of the tenth month, something happened that no one expected.
Early that morning, the attacking team composed of players began the attack as usual, trying to consume the mechanical clan's reserve resources as much as possible.
"Go, brothers!"
"It's time for the daily mission again!"
Yes, the war has continued until now, and many players have already regarded attacking the mechanical base as a daily task.
However, there is no fatigue in this daily task, so you can complete it as long as you want.
However, just as the first group of player teams rushed forward, an accident happened!
"What is that?"
Suddenly someone screamed and pointed into the distance.
Everyone looked and saw a pitch-black sphere suddenly appearing in the sky above the Mechanical Clan base in the distance.
The sphere was like a black hole that had been shrunk countless times. Even the surrounding light was attracted into it. It was extremely unstable, and its edges were constantly shaking.
The next moment, the black sphere suddenly expanded tens of millions of times, like a black energy storm, swallowing up half of the mechanical base group.
Then, the black energy storm collapsed instantly, turned into a small black dot, and finally disappeared into nothingness.
"Oh My God!"
"What happened?"
The players were stunned.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
In front of them, half of the mechanical base disappeared and turned into a blank space, as if even the air had been swallowed up. Only a huge deep pit remained in its place, so big that the end was almost invisible.
At the other end of the deep pit is the central silver city.
Even a small half of the Silver City was swallowed up, leaving only some mechanical buildings in the center.
"What's going on? Is there a bug in the game?"
"How come half of the Mechanical Tribe's bases were suddenly swallowed up? What was that black ball just now? Is there a problem with the map loading?"
Everything happened so fast that people didn't even have time to react.
Not to mention the players, even the Terrans and Zerg were stunned.
After more than ten seconds, the two sides began to communicate, and soon confirmed that it was not the other party's work.
The little black ball that just appeared is even more terrifying than nuclear weapons. Neither the human race nor the Zerg are able to produce such a thing.
At this moment, perhaps only Su Xia understood what was going on.
Because he received a letter.
The content of the letter is simple:
[Masked Stranger, this is an antimatter annihilation bomb, what do you think? ]
Although the letter did not indicate the sender, Su Xia guessed who the sender was at a glance.
"Wang Teng."
Besides Wang Teng, who else can come up with this terrifying antimatter annihilation bomb?
It seems that this kind of terrifying weapon is stored in the wreckage of the spacecraft that Wang Teng owns.
The mechanical race is also Wang Teng’s enemy.
After all, he wanted to return to the Imperial Star Territory.
He used this bomb to blast a direct path to the Silver City for the players.
At this moment, the players outside also reacted and rushed towards the Silver City, shouting and killing.
“Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
"Brothers, charge! The walls of the Silver City have been swallowed up by the black energy just now!"
"Today is the day of the decisive battle!"
Li Defu took the lead, wearing a fiery red mecha and heading straight for the Silver City at an extremely fast speed.
In addition to him, many high-level players with flying abilities also rushed over.
Players without the ability to fly ran wildly in the large pit on the ground.
On the other side, the mechanical race also reacted.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"
Light blue energy pillars pierced the sky, once again supporting a thin energy shield.
At the same time, thousands of mechanical warriors poured out from the remaining bases, guarding the gaps and ready for battle.
In each major base, countless energy cannons and kinetic cannons adjusted their angles and tilted upwards.
The next moment, dense rain of shells fell from the sky, covering the entire crater.
Amidst the roars, the players suffered heavy losses and were almost wiped out.
Many players flying above the pit were also shot down, and each one fell from the sky like a broken-winged angel, burning.
Fortunately, death has become commonplace for players.
"Don't be afraid, brothers. These robots only have one life. We can kill them by wasting time!"
Li Defu shouted loudly and tagged the leaders of each team in the group.
"This is a rare opportunity. Perhaps we can really capture the Silver City. We can't make trial attacks like before. We must go all out." He said solemnly to the people in charge.
As a result, all the player teams gave up killing monsters and leveling up, and flocked to the Silver City.
Many players who are still at work quietly log in using their mobile phones, not even taking care of their work, just to participate in this grand war.
More and more players appeared outside the base group, and they could not be killed indefinitely, which deeply explained what the fourth disaster was.
However, no one expected it.
Even after losing half of their bases, the remaining strength of the Mechanical Clan is still terrifyingly powerful.
This general offensive lasted for more than half a month!
Countless players fought day and night, and couldn't remember how many times they had died, but they still failed to capture the Silver City.
Even nearly two-thirds of the Zerg army that assisted in the attack were killed, and the endless sea of Zerg became much sparser.
"Damn it, how long will this fight last?"
"Why is it so hard to fight!"
After dying over and over again, many players become numb.
Conquering the mechanical tribe is simply an impossible task!
Even though most of the players from the other two continents came over to join the attack, it still had no effect.
During this half month, the players' enthusiasm had been almost exhausted, and the offensive gradually returned to its previous level.
Many players feel that the duration of this war may have to be calculated in years.
However, what no one expected was that...an accident happened again.
This time the accident came from the mechanical clan.
At dusk that day, a mechanical creature suddenly walked out of the energy shield and came to the headquarters of the three camps.
Everyone is familiar with this mechanical creature, it is none other than Mercer!
"Everyone, long time no see."
Moser smiled slightly, as if he was not worried at all that people would attack him.
"Mercer, what are you doing here?" Els stared at Mercer with cold eyes.
The two of them knew each other a long time ago.
One is the assistant of the Mechanical Overlord, and the other is the assistant of the Zerg Queen. They had fought each other during the war between the races.
"Can't I come and meet an old friend?" Mercer, wearing a signature black tuxedo and holding a mechanical cane, looked like a gentleman from the old times.
"Did the Lord ask you to come?" the Lord of Eagle City asked him.
"Yes."
Moser raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to everyone: "After this battle, what do you think?"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't beat around the bush!" the Lord of Lion City said coldly.
"Well then." Moser smiled and said, "I'm sure you all have seen that with your current abilities, you are simply unable to break through our defenses."
"What? Do the mechanical race want to shake hands and make peace?" the Lord of Lion City asked him.
"Yes and no." Mercer gave a very vague answer.
"What do you mean?" Li Defu asked.
"The outcome of this battle depends on one person."
Moser raised his head slightly and said slowly, "I came here today to invite that person to go with me to see the Lord."
"who?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Who is so important that he can decide the outcome of this war?
Could it be the Lord of Dragon City?
Or the queen of the Zerg?
These two seem to be the most likely ones. After all, the Lord of Dragon City has a mysterious origin, and the Zerg Queen has a starry background.
As for the undead, they thought it might be the little fat man named Li Defu.
Next, Moser pointed his finger, and everyone's eyes showed a hint of surprise in the direction of his finger.
"North Wind?"
The Lord of Dragon City nodded slightly, and a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.
The others didn’t quite understand why it was the north wind?
Although Bei Feng's status is not low and his record of military achievements is impressive, making him the slated next Lord of Dragon City, he is not yet the Lord after all.
In terms of strength, status, and seniority, it is not Beifeng's turn no matter what.
However, what Mercer said next stunned everyone.
"Should I call you Beifeng, or Pharmacist Su? Or the Masked Stranger?"
