Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1046: Shield in the sky
“Stop them!”
Xia Lei held her blades and stood in the middle of the guards. She looked at the Feather Warrior Squad that was attacking her side, breaking away to charge toward the city. She guessed what had happened and obviously wanted to stop them.
Guang Yao’s squad was at the back of the group. They raised their guns and fired at these cavaliers.
If you talked about gun skills, Guang Yao’s squad was much better than any other Cloud Peak squad. The guns and ammo produced by the new production line were mostly provided to them. Ye Zhongming even gave them half of the level bullets that he crafted. The others were split among the other squads.
Although Feather Warrior Squad was attacking their area, Cloud Peak still had excess strength. These cavaliers also didn’t descend low enough. Xia Lei and Guang Yao wanted bigger wins and were waiting for a suitable opportunity.
But now that they were flying into the city, they definitely couldn’t let them succeed.
Shots were fired, and bullets sliced through the sky, giving out the familiar smell of gunpowder. The grey guns with grey bullets formed a firepower net that caused those cavaliers to fall out of the sky.
This forced the cavaliers who had dove down to regain their height. They used their spears to fight back, slowing their charge.
“We must charge through!”
Zai Li was in silver armor, and he held a silver spear. He rode his purple eagle and led his guards. He was above the Feather Warrior Squad, which helped to increase their morale.
“We must kill that person who used the large-scale healing technique!”
He gave a firm order, but his eyes were in shock.
Why did the outsiders have such pure light energy? That should be something only the Saint Father and Saintess had.
Along with his orders, the guards took out a 30 cm tall, 50 cm diameter metal pillar that hung before their mounts. They tossed them toward Cloud Peak’s defense line, especially Guang Yao’s battle squad.
When they descended, those pillars gave an ear-piercing buzz. After a few seconds, they gave out cracking sounds, and their shapes changed. They turned from a cylinder to a square metal board.
This change shocked those from Earth. This was a nicely designed mechanism.
The metal boards started to spin and they swung some ‘rope’ made of demon monster tendon out from some holes. One end of the rope was stuck to the board while the other floated in the sky. Once they touched another metal board, they would stick together and firmly with each other.
Just like that, the cylinders turned into boards that connected to form a metal net. As they flew, they got closer to each other. The ropes stuck together and formed a shield.
This stunned the people below.
That worked?
The appearance of the two metal boards suppressed Cloud Peak’s firepower. The bullets hit the boards and gave out metallic clangs, but they lost the terrifying killing effect from before.
After the bullet rain, the Feather Warrior Squad was down to half its number. They used the board to cover them and charge. Although Guang Yao’s squad continued to strike, which caused some at their tail to fall, over 700 of them flew out of range and headed toward Park Xiuying.
“Sister Lei?” Many looked at Xia Lei. Their intentions were obvious: They were asking if they should assist Teacher Park.
But she shook her head.
If Saint LIght Hall could kill Cloud Peak’s most core member with just a few hundred air cavaliers, they were overthinking.
Her gaze looked at the metal board above Cloud Peak’s camp. It was landing and was about to press onto the walls.
……………………………………………………
Park Xiuying’s face was ashen white after she used Sunset Saint Light.
Too many were on the walls, and the mental energy consumed to mark everyone exceeded her expectations.
She drank a mental energy recovery potion and felt slightly better.
Her mental energy was quickly recovering. She had the passive recovery speed from the soul technique and this potion, which was as valuable as a four-star potion. Ordinarily, she was reluctant to drink it, but this situation was special, and she had to ensure that she had enough mental energy.
Sunset Saint Light was not only useful to the injured, but it could also increase the healing ability of warriors who weren’t injured. This large-scale mark and recovery skill pretty much meant that each position had one one-thousand-man reserve squad.
More importantly, it helped to improve morale.
Park Xiuying did what she could do and she couldn’t do more. But she believed that Ye Zhongming could solve everything.
But the moment she turned, she turned back. She saw the group of air cavaliers rushing over aggressively.
She wasn’t surprised and only sighed. She pushed her spectacles before turning. She walked calmly and nodded toward the people before her.
Shengyuan brushed past her.
For this battle, Shengyuan, who was in charge of the two labs, was moved to guard Park Xiuying.
Hundreds of Feather Warrior Squad warriors flew close. Even if a large portion was killed by Guang Yao’s squad, those who charged still gave a terrifying aura.
A thousand protector squad warriors were beside Shengyuan. They were all very muscular, and they held a green shield. Apart from Xia Bai’s squad, they were the only squad in which each member had a green piece of equipment.
“Rise!”
Shengyuan shouted, and the warriors around formed a four-layer defense line. At the same time, they raised their shields and faced the cavaliers diving down. They started to retreat in an orderly manner; their speed was the same as Park Xiuying’s walking speed. They followed Park Xiuying while Shengyuan was left alone at the front.
As the squad leader, he also held a shield, but his shield was blue. This was one that Ye Zhongming specially crafted for him after many failed attempts.
He raised his giant shield and looked at the cavaliers approaching. He gave a loud roar, and his body enlarged. The leather armor, which was different from the metal armor the other Cloud Peak warriors wore, started to expand. Some fur grew from his determined face, and even his head shape changed.
Shengyuan activated his intermediate Mountain Roar Bloodline, becoming a three-meter tall, small-sized giant beast!
