-----------
Because Lucy created a Dual Civilization, plus Edward's connections, more people followed her. Thousands of Undead Knights had already rushed close to her base, but all of them were blocked by the Aura Warriors.
Lucy had learned the lessons from the battle against Sebastian, so she had become more cautious. A part of the Mages were separated to fight together with the Warriors, and the remaining Mages began to chant.
The Undead Knights arrived in front of the Warrior Formation and waved their swords, they were cutting down the Warriors' Energy Shield. All the Aura Warriors were also fighting back with all their strength and they were stopping those Undead Knights, they wouldn't allow them to take another step forward.
After a fierce fight, everyone also discovered that the attack of these Undead Knights was not that strong, and that also made some people slightly relieved. If the attack power was a little bit stronger, they wouldn't be able to beat them at all, otherwise, how could they continue to fight?
The Aura Warriors were responsible for the defense, they were keeping the Undead Knights firmly outside until the Mage's Legion finished chanting. As the chanting finished, a large fireball suddenly appeared in the air, and in the next moment, it lunged toward the groups of Undead Knights not far away.
Sebastian saw it last time. As it was faster than a bullet, it was impossible to dodge. Even if they wanted to, the Undead Knights were not fast enough.
BOOOM-!
With an earth-shattering explosion, this super fireball exploded in the gathering of Undead Knights. However, after the fireball dissipated, people who were concerned were surprised to find that, among all of the Undead Knights, not a single one was harmed.
That's right, not a single one. And this made Lucy shocked.
[ ===== ]
At the same time, the Artillerymen of the Astra Militarum were prepared. The muzzle of the Artillery was aimed at the approaching Undead Knight.
"Fire-!" Cross personally took command and shouted.
Immediately, dozens of Artillery shot their Shells into the sky and it was whistling towards the army of Undead Knights in the distance. The range of Artillery was much farther than a Rifle, and its impact was also broader.
Cross's idea was to use the full-range coverage of the Artillery to strike down the Undead Knight in the middle and rear to make it difficult for them to help each other.
Artillery Shell fell on the Undead Knights' positions and there was a loud explosion. If it was an ordinary army, it must have been in a bad situation, but these Undead Knights were unscathed.
Cross and the others were stunned and they couldn't believe their eyes at all. How is this possible?
Thanks to the combined Alloy, all the parameters of the Artillery were significantly improved. After this round of Artillery fire, all of them hit the Undead Knight's position. However, even with so much firepower, they still hadn't been able to cause even a little damage to these Undead Knights.
"Are the Undead Knights on the other side transferring their flames?" Cross immediately thought of this possibility, after all just now, not all of them were hit by Artillery fire.
"No." A Scientist shook his head and said, "It's unbelievable but these Undead Knights who were just hit by the Artillery fire, even their flame has not been reduced."
"What?" Everyone who heard it was dumbfounded, this was too unbelievable.
"That's impossible." Cross immediately shook his head and said, "Previously, when we shot them with our Rifles, we could reduce their flames. But now, when we use a more powerful weapon, it can't be that it doesn't work at all."
"Everyone, observe." Seeing the atmosphere seem to be a bit off, even Elizabeth also spoke up.
This was the first time the research team had encountered such a scenario. It appeared to be a bit overwhelming, but it soon quieted down.
[ ===== ]
Seeing this, in the Mayor's Hall, people laughed happily.
"Hahahaha, this is their secret and one of the most incredible abilities of the Undead Knight." A planet owner said with a smile.
"To be honest, this ability is not very dangerous, but if it can't be discovered and stopped, it's dangerous." Another took over.
"Mr. Edward, your sister's Mage Legion has also made a mistake." A teacher smiled at Edward.
"My sister is still ok." Edward was not worried at all, he smiled and said: "These Undead Knights have obvious weaknesses; which is their attack power is not enough, so they can't break the defense of the Aura Warriors. After a while, she will be able to discover their weakness."
[ ===== ]
On the planets of the candidates, everyone was struggling to resist. Many of their units had already been killed by the Undead Knights.
"These Undead Knights, they won't die no matter what." Francis felt a headache while commanding the battle.
Looking at the Supernatural Being on the planet he had worked so hard to build, Francis was even more anxious.
"No, no, I can't fall here. If I can't pass this, there will be no hope for a top academy." Francis thought anxiously and said, "Even if these things are strong, this is only the second wave; they must have their weaknesses, I just have to find them first."
At this time, the ghostly reminder suddenly sounded, "Congratulations to the first candidate for passing the second wave of the combat assessment."
This sound startled everyone for a moment, immediately, all of them looked at the leaderboard in front of the examination room. After the first wave was over, it was not only in the examination area but also in the examination room of each candidate, there were real-time leaderboards and the results of each candidate were listed above.
This result was arranged according to the time of passing the first wave. The shorter the time, the higher the ranking. The reason why the examination had such a setting was to encourage a candidate to reach his or her best potential.
In addition, this ranking was not just to stimulate candidates, in case there was a pull later, the ranking would play a big role. But since in the second wave, they were facing these Undead Knights, all candidates were fully committed. How could they be bothered to pay attention to this ranking?
Now this prompt sound made many people complain directly.
"Damn you, you scared me, I thought I was eliminated."
"I already knew there was a prompt, but I was too focused and still got surprised."
"No way, someone passed so quickly?"
"I can't beat these damn Undead Knights at all, how can anyone pass-!"
"..."
One by one, they were shouting. Followed by, looking towards the leaderboard, but they couldn't tell which one it was.
[ ===== ]
"It must be one of the Super Genius." Inside an examination room, Grosser thought. Then he looked at the situation on his planet and he couldn't help but frown slightly, "How in the world are we going to solve these things that can't die?"
[ ===== ]
Sebastian also noticed the leaderboard but after he took a look, he no longer cared. What he wanted was never to be number one in the rankings; nor, the first place in this subject, but the first place in the entire examination. As for who was temporarily first and who was second, he didn't care. A surprise takeover, isn't that better?
[ ===== ]
In front of the position of the Astra Militarum, the Undead Knights continued to advance and they had already approached the 400-meter perimeter. Beyond this range, the people of the Supernatural Research Group generally agreed that it would pose a threat to them. In addition, Artillery fire at close range was not launchable.
"Don't stop the Artillery, keep attacking-!" Cross shouted.
It was not just the bullets; there were also a lot of Artillery shells stored in the warehouse in the rear, but they did not dare to use all the Starfall Iron to make shells because that would be too consuming, so only normal shells were used earlier and their power was also sufficient.
Another new round of Artillery fire went down, the bombardment caused explosions. The smoke was thick and it was all dusty, yet, when the smoke cleared, everyone found out that nothing happened to these Undead Knights, not even a single one was harmed.
"Am I seeing things?" One Scientist couldn't help but comment, "No, that's not right."
At this time, a Scientist with binoculars next to him suddenly stared wide-eyed and said, "Everyone looks, the position of these Undead Knights changed."
"Position?" Almost everyone looked over, bringing an unprecedented level of focus.
Several more careful Guardsmen stared at a certain position and then there was a glimmer in their eye.
"They changed positions!" Ewart slowly said, "The Undead Knight who was just hit by the Artillery fire changed places with the one next to him!"
Others also gradually found this, immediately, doubts arose.
"Why are these Undead Knights changing places? Are they..." A Scientist frowned slightly and guessed: "They thought our target was that Undead Knight, so they changed positions."
"So, the Undead Knights are not unbeatable. They must have been injured in the Artillery fire just now. Although I don't know how they defended against it, changing positions means..." The Scientist excitedly analyzed, "The defense of the Undead Knight is weakened by the Artillery fire."
"In order not to be completely weakened, they changed positions." Hearing this Scientist's analysis, everyone else was amazed. After that, it all seemed to make sense.
"I think you should give it a try; strike all the Undead Knights in every direction, and see what will happen." This Scientist suggested.
Cross pondered for a moment and nodded. Then he shouted: "Fire for Effect, try to shell every Undead Knight. Also, don't stop the Rifle attack, keep shooting-!"
With a clear plan, the targets of the Artillery were allocated, and then there was a loud bang for another round of shelling. With this round of Artillery fire, everyone made a surprise discovery. The formation of the Undead Knights was slightly disorganized and they seemed to be unsure whether to change positions or not.
"Alright-!" Cross's expression was very excited, and he shouted.
The shells rained down after dozens of weapons were fired at the same time, they fell on the Undead Knights like a blossoming flower and a thick of dust smoke appeared.
In the thick smoke, Ewart seemed to have found something. Suddenly he said, "Continue to attack with full force, don't stop, aim at all the Undead Knights, and the same goes for the Rifles."
Everyone else was a little confused about why Ewart ordered this. Cross also slightly frowned, but he believed in his ability, so there were no objections. Immediately, all the Artillery and Rifles fire toward all the Undead Knights.
After a few moments, they were surprised to find that the flames in the Undead Knights head were reduced.
"What's going on?" Some Scientists and Guardsmen were a little confused, as they were fine just now.
Now this round of attack...
