Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Chapter 553 The balance of victory tilts (thanks to Luo Sisi, the leader~)

The situation of the competition gradually became clear. After the two singers left the stage, the remaining four singers were roughly divided into two camps, namely Orles-Pulin and Odney-Tilan.

After eliminating the interference of other people, the two camps also began to fight.

Central area, garnet hill.

There is a special ore in the mountain here. After breaking it open, there are many dark gold reflective spots inside, just like pomegranate seeds.

The giant eagles with snow-white wings spread in the sky swooped down one by one, facing the anti-aircraft machine gun towers on the ground. Bullets opened the surface of the giant eagles in the middle, and most of them were slid away by hard feathers. Only a few penetrated into it, bringing some blood.

When they came to the front, the members on the back of the giant eagle jumped down and approached the firing machine gun towers at a very fast speed. Then the silver sword light flashed, and it was scrapped in just a few seconds.

After suspending these anti-aircraft firepower, three transport planes dropped from the sky and released a series of bionic mantis-like autonomous units. They were slender, with three pairs of legs, sharp downward-pressing double knives, highly flexible compound eyes with no dead angles, and silver bodies. They were extremely light, and the tips of their limbs were like needles. They could adapt to various terrains and were aggressive.

These bionic mantis-like autonomous units easily cut a hole in the top of the stronghold with sharp silver blades, then jumped down and rushed into it. Soon, there were surging sounds of shooting and explosions in the stronghold.

Inside.

The sound of bullets flying continuously, facing the firepower of the guards, these "mantises" rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, and all the automatic defense towers and guard robots they passed by were easily cut into pieces by them.

Faced with this situation, the members stationed in the stronghold hurriedly closed the gates of various roads to stop the advancement of these "mantises" and delay time.

"Emergency help, northern R3 area, No. 5 stronghold is under attack and is about to fall, requesting assistance--"

In the command hall at the bottom, members of the Odney star cluster looked at the area on the screen that quickly turned red, anxious.

"Headquarters received, the support team has set off now, please hold on for five minutes."

...

"What is coming is finally coming."

In the headquarters stronghold in the central area, Odney looked at the front-line scenes played on the big screen and felt emotional.

"I originally thought that Pulin would act first, but I didn't expect that it would be Orles who started first."

...

At the bottom of the No. 5 stronghold, fierce street fighting took place here.

The silver streamlined mantis moved forward at a rapid speed, and the thrusters behind it sprayed out snow-white high-temperature tails, so that when it moved at high speed, it could also use its six limbs to bounce and leap in space, constantly avoiding shooting from all directions.

"Squeak--"

The sharp blade flashed, splitting the beam blocking the road, and the combat members who were used as cover below abandoned their guns, drew their lightsabers, and went head-on.

The light pink and white lightsaber blocked the downward blade of the mantis, and the contact surface was covered with flying particles and wisps of green smoke. Then the 2-meter-tall mantis jumped back several meters, temporarily avoiding the stalemate with the lightsaber.

"It seems that the lightsaber is still a threat to them." A member in a white uniform whispered. There were three companions beside him, all of whom were members of the star cluster to which Odney belonged.

"It's hard for bullets to hit these guys moving at high speeds, and their bodies are made of some special alloy. Unless you hit a point with firepower, it's hard to cause major damage with just a few bullets."

"Which company produced these guys? To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such autonomous weapons, like exquisite and cold killing machines."

"Did you see the snowflake-like octagonal blade icon on their abdomen? This means they are products of the giant company 'Reaper'."

"This company never advertises, but people in the industry know that they have always been masters in the field of killing. The official has commissioned them to produce military autonomous units many times."

"This competition is sponsored by many military companies. Some exchange tables require occupying special strongholds to appear. It is estimated that Orles has obtained the stronghold representing the 'Reaper' company."

When several members were communicating quickly, the silver mantis on the opposite side took action again. The boosters behind it were all opened, and the armor on the side of the body was also lifted up like scales. At a distance of more than ten meters, several people could even see the internal structure and components of the mantis from these lifted gaps.

Just when several people were wondering why the other party suddenly opened the armor blades, a burst of orange-red light flowed rapidly in the mantis' body, and then a series of complex patterns were imprinted on its body surface, and the entire mantis' body surface was covered with this strange pattern, which looked particularly ferocious and fierce, far less than the silver streamlined artistic sense before.

"Hu——" Countless white airflows were discharged from the gaps in the opened armor plates, and a faint smell of burning spread in the air.

Then the mantis moved, and its speed passed by the side of several people like a phantom, and the strong wind it brought made people's cheeks hurt, but before they could turn around, the mantis jumped with the help of the wall behind them, and two narrow arcs of blood tore in the alley, and even faint white bones and beating internal organs could be seen in them.

Two of the four members who were defending the group were nearly killed and eliminated on the spot. After the other two reacted, they rolled rapidly on the ground, waving their lightsabers to block the six legs that were trampling like a storm. The sharp toes left holes in the ground like spears, and they kept chasing the two men. Then the silver blades flashed again, drawing a high-speed silver arc trajectory in the air.

The two men had their eyes wide open at this moment, not daring to close them for a moment. The swords in their hands and the movements of their bodies were in the highest degree of response, and the pain was temporarily blocked, just to welcome the fight between death and life.

In a few seconds, the continuous collision of sparks burst in this alley, and the walls and the ground were full of burnt scratches.

Finally, due to overheating and energy loss, the mantis's reaction was no longer flexible, and more and more burnt smells overflowed from the gaps in the armor plates on its side.

"Sizzle--" The teeth-grinding metal tearing sound sounded, and a member came behind the 'mantis', inserted the lightsaber in his hand into the gap of the armor plate, and then tore it apart with all his strength, and violent sparks and explosions burst from the inside of the mantis.

Soon, the head of the mantis lost its brightness, and all parts were turned off and fell to the ground.

Looking at the 'mantis' self-discipline unit that had stopped moving but was still full of green smoke and burnt smell, the two were still frightened, and then they added another knife to cut off its head, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's terrifying."

"With this kind of speed and explosive power, ordinary Sequence 6 transcendents would be killed instantly."

"A terrifying killing weapon."

In the sky outside the base, the support troops from Odney's side began to fight with Orles's attackers. On one side were the soaring giant eagles and ice and snow spellcasters, and on the other side were the members on the shuttle and hundreds of white-winged fighters sweeping the formation at high altitude.

"Honghu Secret Biography: Fantasy Cloud Shadow Formation."

Several members with black hair and wearing witch costumes jumped off the shuttle. They gradually slowed down in the air, and then the tin staffs in their hands rang out, like a large piece of wind chimes.

Soon, a pale white mist covered the sky, like clouds descending. In the next half minute, the white mist expanded rapidly, completely covering the sky and the earth within a radius of several kilometers.

The members of the Orles Star Cluster riding on the giant eagle were in the fog, their perception was blocked, and even the electronic signals were seriously interfered, making it impossible to communicate. Just as they were about to increase their altitude as much as possible and leave this area, a series of subtle sounds of breaking through the air came from the fog.

"What is this?"

One of the members felt a chill on his cheek, and when he touched it, he felt a pain, and then his hands were covered with blood.

In the fog, tiny silver-scaled flying fish shuttled through the fog. The thorny fins on their backs were like saw teeth, reflecting a faint cold light. These guys are particularly adapted to this fog environment. Not only are they not disturbed, but they can also move at high speed with the help of this kind of fog, making it difficult for blind enemies to defend themselves.

So, a series of strangulations occurred in the fog, and many members fell from the sky covered with blood before they could even call for help.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the remaining personnel, with the help of the ice fragments, continued to fly up and finally broke out of the thick clouds. When they saw the bright sun in the sky, they also saw the white-winged fighters circling around the sun halo.

Hundreds of white-winged fighters looked down at the small dots of ants below from high in the sky, and then a series of bright laser beams focused their fire. These members who broke out of the clouds were ignited in the air like fireworks and fell into the thick and windless clouds again.

In the stronghold, the silver "mantises" tore open the last line of defense and cut down the last stubborn resister in the stronghold. Soon the central AI in the stronghold was destroyed by these "mantises", and the facilities in the entire stronghold were paralyzed.

Although the battle in the sky was a big victory for Odney, the battle in the stronghold was a complete failure. From the perspective of material and points loss, Odney lost more, but from the perspective of the number of personnel leaving the field, Orles suffered more.

However, war is always full of intrigues. Just when Odney received news from the front line and felt that the "praying mantis" in the stronghold was in sight, a rapid alarm sounded above her head.

[Warning, a large number of unknown heat sources are approaching, initially determined to be enemy vehicles, please be prepared for response in the stronghold] The voice synthesized by AI is always cold.

In the distant sky, several crimson comets with long tails descended. In order to avoid being detected by Odney in advance, Pulin's personnel adopted a super-high-altitude raid to avoid various detection units distributed on the ground.

…

"This high-altitude attack method is really fascinating and never boring."

Standing on the landing capsule, Pulin grabbed the handle with one hand, wearing goggles on her face, overlooking the increasingly clear ground below, the hair behind her head fluttering wildly, feeling the heat of the air flow and the speed of the wind, unprecedented excitement filled her heart.

This is definitely not the safest way to land, but it is undoubtedly her favorite way to appear.

‘I will descend like a fire from heaven, burning everything in the world…’ The words from the ancient legend rang in her ears, and Pulin let go of the handle she was holding, letting her body completely plunge into the turbulent airflow.

With a light bang, the transparent red flame enveloped her. The petite singer closed her eyes in the air, chanting a rising song until the whole sky was illuminated by the red clouds.

At this point, she raised one hand, with her index finger pointing straight to the sky, extremely straight.

Obvious flares and light appeared at the top of the sky, followed by a huge, boiling crimson light stream that passed through the atmosphere, brushed past Pulin not far from her side, and shot into the ground below.

This dazzling and blazing stream of light was clearly visible for tens of kilometers. It burned through the atmosphere and poured down on the mountain. The overflowing air waves and fire flow spread in all directions, engulfing thousands of meters of forest trees in less than a few seconds. In the center of the fire flow, a huge hot and dark red pit appeared. The melted metal and concrete layers inside were still emitting white smoke, and the air was a little distorted.

The originally solid stronghold and protective layer were penetrated in a few seconds, and the fragile parts inside were directly exposed. Although Odney still held many strongholds and had a lot of combat power outside, at this moment, when she looked up at the rapidly falling red comet in the sky, she still felt powerless and fragile.

Is it over? She couldn't help thinking.

At this time, the stronghold was empty inside. The remaining personnel could not resist Pulin and others who were out in full force. There was no defense line to delay time. It was almost inevitable that they would be defeated and eliminated.

Without time to think, just as she gathered the remaining members to seal the gap and prepare for the battle, the landing ‘comets’ had smashed through the remaining protective layer like a cannonball, and then the hatch opened, and members in red uniforms rushed out quickly, and the sound of shooting and explosions rang out everywhere in the base.

The self-discipline units and protective machine gun towers inside the base were activated, and they kept shooting to stop the attack of these red-clad members. However, the number of the opponents was too large, and they also blossomed from multiple positions, constantly breaking through and cutting off the lines in the base.

In almost a few minutes, the living forces in the entire base were wiped out.

Surrounded by the crowd, Pulin, wearing a red hooded cloak, walked out slowly, and her small boots stepped on the steel grid floor, making a crisp echoing sound.

After passing through the layers of human walls, the singer with caramel hair and fiery eyes stopped and looked at the ‘white swan’ Odney who was surrounded in a dead corner.

At this moment, Odney was leaning against the wall, holding her injured arm. There were only two members holding shields and guns beside her. Her beautiful long hair was now a little burnt, and there were many gray marks on her face.

"You look so embarrassed, Odney." Pulin stopped approaching and turned to the other side, where the main control platform of the base was.

"Actually, I don't want to bully you. Who made us run into each other again?" She looked at the help message that had just been sent on the platform without turning her head.

"The speed is still slow. It's too late to send help now."

She pressed her hand on the identity verification light board on the platform, and the red-clothed member beside her helped her unlock the secret lock of the main control AI. With a slight sound, the system began to restart.

[The ownership of the strongholds has begun to change. The current owner with the highest authority is: Pulin Aike]

…

On the 10th day of the competition, Orles and Odney fought, and both sides suffered damage. When the battle was in full swing, Pulin led the members of the star cluster to directly raid Odney's stronghold, defeated the opponent, and eliminated the singer on the spot.

So far, there are only three singers left in the competition, and the two singers who joined forces have already controlled nearly 5/6 of the strongholds. The only remaining resistance, Heshia Tilan, only has a few strongholds in the southern area.

The balance has completely tilted to one side, as if the fruits of victory are about to fall.
