The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 283 - 187: The Accidentally Gained Sacrifice (6k)_2

Chapter 283: Chapter 187: The Accidentally Gained Sacrifice (6k)_2

And with her first shot, the others no longer hid, emerging from their respective firing positions.

The machine gunners started to lay down suppressing fire, and several witches armed with rapid-fire rifles were already charging.

While executing the recently taught tactical movements, they unleashed a crossfire in coordination with the machine guns, reaping lives.

Thanks to this sudden ambush, just in the first encounter, the enemy had already lost more than thirty people, with numbers falling below one hundred.

But soon, relying on their Rank 5 professional training, even without commands, they organized a defense on their own.

However, ordinary defenses only made the weapons powered by the Faith Power kill even more ferociously.

After suffering another major setback and losing over twenty more lives, bringing their losses to nearly half, they finally found the correct defensive strategy.

Even the witches had to admit that these Rank 5 soldiers had something special.

Relying on some kind of abnormal ability, the enemy surprisingly managed to temporarily intercept the attacks of the Faith-powered weapons, allowing a few among them to raise earthen walls, successfully establishing cover.

Even with just a scant twenty seconds, this was definitely not something ordinary Rank 5 could achieve!

There must be something special about their abilities!

However, this would not deter the witches’ confidence; on the contrary, it made them more curious, more...

Desirous to offer him to the Primordial Witch Your Highness!

Even with the earthen walls for cover, it did not mean the witches had no means left.

Everyone began to take turns covering for each other as they adjusted their firearms from silent Corrosion mode to Explosive mode.

This design belonged to machine guns and rapid-fire rifles, to ensure adaptability to more situations, while sniper rifles and artillery only had one mode each.

And at that same time, several artillery shells were instantly fired, flying from various points on the mountain slope, targeting both the open space beside the walls and the walls themselves.

The former was to try to bypass the walls and cause casualties, while the latter was naturally to try and directly shatter the walls!

After switching modes, the firepower net continued to sweep towards the explosion sites, with the consecutive blasts quickly clearing the smoke, revealing the earthen walls struggling to heal under the barrage.

Effective!

The word flashed through everyone’s minds.

But firearms wouldn’t alter course because of human will, nor would they Burst Seed for that reason.

The previous artillery strike had still directly depleted a Magic Battery of its Faith Power, and the fastest possible replacement of a new Faith Power battery had been carried out, as the barrel was already charging again.

This was also one of the universal drawbacks of Magic Weapons, the greater the power, the longer the charging time required.

Even though Bai Fa and the others had worked hard to overcome this, but so far, they could only manage to complete the charging in advance, and not need to continue channeling it when an attack was required.

This was evident in the sniper’s first shot, but in situations that required continuous firing, the inevitable wait time for charging could not be avoided.

What the witches could do during the waiting time was—

Bring out a second gun!

These flaws had already been discovered during the previous test and teaching session, and the solutions had naturally been determined.

After all, they were quite wealthy, bringing out several sets of weapons at once, allowing them to fire three volleys each.

—And this was even after a squad had taken away some of the weapons.

If it were up to the witches alone, this number could be even higher!

The second and third rounds of artillery were successively fired, and the earthen walls could no longer hold. The special Superpower User had to act again, intercepting the attack.

But this time, the duration was noticeably shorter.

The second round of earthen walls had been retracted before they could be fully erected.

This was one of the inherent drawbacks of relying purely on one’s own abilities to fight.

Not every creature could, like the witches and Bai Yi’s other Favored, possess recovery abilities and Magic Power capacity far exceeding their current Rank.

Sustaining combat capability was always a weakness, especially in high-intensity fights, even more so.

And with the defensive Superpower User’s Magic Power running low, it meant that probably just one more wave of attacks would be enough to completely break them.

Meanwhile, as per the tactical guidance just now, the witches also knew that the enemy was very likely looking for an opportunity to escape.

But the Cat Witch sniper was already prepared for another shot, and the other witches were also constantly watching the target, ready to shift their fire.

"Here it comes!"

To their surprise, the bombardment had stopped, not immediately breaking through them, and the Superpower Users hiding behind the walls suddenly had a thought.

Whether the artillery was depleted or needed to cool down, in any case, their chance had come!

It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought about counterattacking, after all, they vastly outnumbered their targets.

Even if their attacks couldn’t blast from a distance like these firearms, in theory, as long as they dared to charge, they could always reach the range of their abilities and thus threaten the attackers.

But the problem was, this kind of charge would definitely involve sacrifices, and no one wished to be the one sacrificed.

They were also human, and after reaching Rank 5, they wouldn’t rashly face death or pledge their lives at the Lord’s few words, as they might have in weaker times.

No one wanted to be sacrificed, and the only one who could defend against the attacks was already near spent, leaving only one option...

It wasn’t that a counterattack was hopeless, but running away held more cost-effectiveness.

With this in mind, a consensus was immediately reached, and they began to flee. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The first to notice was still the Cat Witch with the best vision and the only one wholly focused on the direction of the target’s escape.

After the reminder spread through the network, the sniper had already hit the target.
