52: Modern weapons versus barbaric tribes: offense and defense

Leige's roar tore through the bloody Qi above the battlefield: "A bunch of good-for-nothings, what are you afraid of! The glory of us Orcs is at hand! Fearless, invincible! Follow me, kill!"

"Kill!!!" This furious roar was like lighting a fuse, instantly igniting the remaining Orcs' fighting spirit.

Leige led the remaining more than two hundred mammoth beasts, clad in Starfall Battle Armor, transforming into a destructive iron current, and crashed towards the safety barrier shimmering with white light!

Just as victory seemed within reach, the ground beneath the charging formation suddenly collapsed!

"Not good! A trap!" Leige reacted like lightning, leaping from the mammoth's back, avoiding the bottomless pit.

However, his companions behind him were not so lucky.

More than thirty mammoths, unable to stop in time, wailed as they plunged into the abyss, crashing heavily onto the spike-filled bottom of the pit.

These were no ordinary spikes!

Chen Xu had meticulously carved runes onto them and infused them with his powerful lightning element Qi.

That's right, he had mastered the secret of making magic weapons — the principle was similar to Talismanic Incantations in cultivation, where runes were carved in advance and then infused with magic power.

As for the construction of the runes, Chen Xu regarded it as programming, repeatedly testing until they perfectly matched, which was his strong suit.

"Ah ah---!!!"

The horrific screams from the bottom of the pit were chilling.

Even though the mammoths were clad in the supposedly indestructible Starfall Battle Armor, the magical spikes could not directly pierce the armor itself, but the battle armor was not without gaps! The sharp spikes precisely pierced into the weak points of the armor plates, and blood gushed out like a stream.

Leige's face was so dark it could drip water, and he roared: "Don't panic! Step on their corpses and charge through!"

This greatest Orc warrior displayed unparalleled combat instincts.

He led the remaining more than a hundred mammoths, mercilessly treading on the dying bodies of their comrades in the pit, forcing a bloody path through!

"Boom---!!!"

Amidst deafening roars, the mammoth herd finally slammed into the safety barrier!

The surface of the barrier instantly dented significantly!

The terrifying power of the Starfall Battle Armor was evident! This armor, forged from extraterrestrial meteorites, truly lived up to its name!

A cold light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and he decisively waved his hand: "firearms ready... fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang!!" Thirteen firearms simultaneously spat fire!

Special bullets, imbued with Chen Xu's thunderous power, whistled out, actually able to penetrate the Starfall Battle Armor's defense!

"Bang! Bang bang!" The dull thuds of bullets hitting flesh rang out consecutively.

"Ow---!" The mammoths let out painful roars, their massive bodies convulsing violently from the intense pain.

Among them, a 23-year-old youth named Lu Haodong was particularly outstanding.

This professional player of Valorant, known as "Beast" due to his superb skills and flamboyant personality, was poisoned to death by jealous teammates.

At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, calmly locking his crosshairs onto a mammoth's eyeball.

"Puff!" The bullet hit precisely! The eyeball instantly burst!

Lu Haodong's voice was cold and clear: "Aim for the head! More damage!"

However, it was easier said than done, as others found it difficult even to hit the mammoth's body, let alone its head.

Leige was almost going crazy!

The endless stream of strange weapons from the other side was astonishingly powerful, far exceeding Elven bows and arrows!

The huge casualties and unknown fear made some Orcs want to retreat.

"Whoever dares to flee will be executed on the spot!!!" Leige roared, his giant axe in hand splitting a retreating warrior in half without hesitation!

"As long as you have a breath left, even if you have to crawl, you must crash into it!!"

"Boom boom boom!" Another wave of frantic impact swept over.

Zhao Ling seized the opportunity, quickly reloaded the second cannon, and the muzzle flashed with fire!

Just as the deadly cannonball was about to claim another round of lives.

Shaman Zhaka's lengthy chant finally ended!

A storm wall made of eerie white bones instantly formed, blocking the cannonball!

"Boom!" The bone storm collided violently with the cannon!

Although the explosion's impact was barely negated, the iron fragments hidden inside the cannonball scattered like the scythe of death, still severely wounding many Orc warriors.

Leige went completely berserk! His eyes turned bloodshot, and his strength surged!

Under his influence, all the Orcs fell into a bloodthirsty state, launching wave after wave of charges, fearless of death.

They continuously fell amidst the roar of firearms, then struggled to get up, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, continuously impacting the crumbling barrier.

Chen Xu's heart sounded an alarm! They only had eighteen people! The reloading speed of the cannonballs was far from keeping up with the consumption!

"Future weapons must be automated and capable of continuous firing! Only then can we compensate for the population disadvantage!"

"Clang---!"

A crisp, piercing shattering sound interrupted Chen Xu's thoughts!

The solid safety barrier, like fragile glass, instantly filled with cracks, then shattered with a crash, turning into energy fragments flying everywhere!

"Damn it! It's over!" All the Transmigrators' faces turned pale; their last guarantee for survival had vanished!

Leige laughed wildly with joy: "Hahaha, kill!!!" The Orcs, like a bursting flood, roared and charged through the broken barrier!

However---

"Boom!" The hundreds of Orcs at the forefront were caught off guard and once again fell into new deep pit traps! Screams were endless!

How could the firearm squad miss such a good opportunity?

"Bang bang bang!" The gunshots rang out densely again, and rows of charging Orcs fell like cut wheat.

Leige was so furious he was fuming, he swung his axe to block bullets, cursing loudly: "Cowardly aliens! Only knowing how to use these dirty tricks!!!"

He roared, his powerful leaping ability propelling him high into the air like a meteor, his Starfall Great Axe in hand descending with immense force, seemingly about to smash into the center of the firearm squad!

"Whoosh---!" A war spear, entwined with dazzling lightning, broke through the air, forcefully parrying Leige's deadly slash!

"Clang!" Weapons clashed, sparks flew! The huge recoil numbed Chen Xu's arm and split his tiger's mouth! Leige's strength was too terrifying!

"I'll help you!" Li Changqing joined the battle like lightning, his long sword glowing brightly, and a condensed, substantial magic Sword Qi shot out!

Shen Nanzhi also bravely stepped forward, her moon blades dancing, and cold moonlight waves cut through the air!

The three of them joined forces, entangling the berserk Leige!

On the other side, under Lu Haodong's calm and composed command, the firearm squad quickly changed formation, forming a "544" type firepower net: five people shooting, four people covering reloads, and four people ready for support.

The continuous gunshots formed a death blockade, stubbornly resisting wave after wave of Orc attacks.

And that Orc chieftain, that coward, who had charged at the front when the battle began, had now quietly hidden at the very back of the team, his eyes flickering.

Chen Xu, Li Changqing, and Shen Nanzhi had no actual combat experience at all, and were completely suppressed by the battle-hardened Leige, who fought one against three!

They were repeatedly beaten back by Leige's berserk attacks, spitting blood!

But they gritted their teeth, desperately holding on! They knew that once Leige broke free to command the battlefield, everything would be over!

Fortunately, the firearm team's and cannon's fire support was fierce enough, constantly shattering the Orcs' charging waves.

Especially the layered traps set around the cannon positions, which made the Orcs attempting to flank and ambush pay a heavy price.

"Lei Da! Lei Er! Lei Mu! Lei Liu!!

Seeing his brothers and relatives fall one by one! Leige was burning with anxiety! In his haste, his Move revealed a flaw!

Chen Xu's gaze was like lightning; how could he miss this fleeting opportunity! The Thunder War Spear seized that tiny gap, and finally---

"Pfft!" The spear tip accurately pierced into a weak point of Leige's battle armor!

Blood splattered! The contained lightning power instantly paralyzed Leige's body!

Although it was only a one-second paralysis, it was enough!

Li Changqing's magic Sword Qi and Shen Nanzhi's cold moon blade light simultaneously struck Leige!

Leige grunted, suffering heavy injuries!

The scales of victory began to tip towards the Transmigrators!

Everyone's spirits were greatly boosted, and their blood was boiling!

However---

"Bang!!!"

An extremely sudden, piercing gunshot tore through everyone's hope!

A cold bullet, carrying a scorching airflow, unexpectedly pierced through Chen Xu's back! Blood instantly soaked his entire body!!

Chen Xu's body trembled violently, and he turned back with disbelief and difficulty---the shooter was none other than Wu Hao!!

Wu Hao's face was distorted with ferocity, and the muzzle of the firearm in his hand was raised again, aimed at Chen Xu: "Hahahaha!! Die! Die for me!! You thought I was really sick? That was all an act! I was waiting for this moment! Hahahaha!!!"
