The landmines positioned along the path of the advancing Honkai Beasts struck first, with massive explosions surging and rising.
The intense flashes momentarily overwhelmed the sunlight, causing thick snow on the surrounding trees to be blown into the air by the shockwave, forming a dazzling white mist.
But in the next moment, even more Honkai Beasts emerged from the snow mist, completely disregarding the possibility of explosives on the road, intending to overwhelm the defensive line constructed by the Valkyries with their sheer numbers!
The Valkyries knew that the number of Honkai Beasts before them far exceeded the level they usually dealt with, so they didn't dare to relax. As soon as the Honkai Beasts entered the killing range of their long-range projectile weapons, they pulled the trigger!
Meanwhile, the distant Babylon Tower was brightly lit, and the Valkyries stationed there activated the defense equipment. A series of missiles rose from launch wells, spreading out in all directions.
For a moment, a dense web of bullets intertwined in the forefront of the battlefield. The Honkai Beasts positioned in the front received a warm welcome from machine guns, missiles, and artillery fire. The Valkyries around the vehicles also wielded various weapons to eliminate these incoming "mosquitoes."
A Valkyrie severely injured two advancing Archangel Honkai Beasts with her rifle, but they stubbornly floated, maneuvering in the air to charge towards her with their last strength!
The Valkyrie agilely dodged, and the two Honkai Beasts plunged straight into the ground. She finished them off with her rifle, watching as the purple glow on their bodies quickly dimmed, crumbling into gray-white fragments resembling concrete.
However, more advancing Seraph-Class Honkai Beasts buzzed and flew over, covering the sky.
Several drones crashed into the massive swarm of advancing Honkai Beasts, overloading their own Honkai energy reactors.
Despite this, the number of advancing Honkai Beasts was still enormous. Under their threat, the armored vehicles and tanks had to frequently maneuver to evade, greatly reducing the suppressive firepower on the frontline Honkai Beast tide. Before long, the purple-white wave had advanced a considerable distance.
The Valkyries couldn't help but feel a hint of despair.
But the next moment, golden spheres rose from the ground like reverse-flying meteors, pulling the surrounding advancing Honkai Beasts like black holes. The rapidly rotating energy balls tore apart these relatively fragile Honkai Beasts, bursting into bright light in the sky!
Luo Lin lowered her hand pointing towards the direction of the explosion, panting heavily.
Behind her, the square of the "Key of Revelation" slowly rotated, the surrounding scenery distorted due to the high temperature, even emitting billowing steam in the icy snow.
[Mimicry · Star of Eden · Disabled Version]
This was the trick that just destroyed many advancing Honkai Beasts. Luo Lin looked at the increasingly precarious situation and thought of the strategic-level weapon in her hand - the "Key of Revelation".
After studying and experimenting (referring to being beaten on the Abyss), Luo Lin had explored several usable mimetic weapons - the Fire Moth Assault Rifle was needless to say, and there were various mimetic projectiles.
These projectiles were much stronger than the grenades the girl used to carry. They could create various types of projectiles with just the consumption of Honkai energy, and even adjust their types and power before throwing them out.
If she wanted a big explosion, she would inject more Honkai energy, and she could even create decoy grenades that looked like firecrackers with less Honkai energy.
But her biggest surprise was this "Disabled Version of 'Star of Eden". With her clumsy programming skills, Luo Lin tampered with the supercomputer "Key of Revelation" and randomly tinkered with it, finally digging out some broken data left by the previous expert programmers - mimetic designs of "Oath of Judah", "Fenghuang Down", and "Star of Eden".
For the girl, "Oath of Judah" and "Fenghuang Down" required long-term stable mimetic construction due to the precision and special functions of their functions - restraining Honkai energy and influencing others' consciousness. Luo Lin's current clumsy operation couldn't use them.
Although "Star of Eden" was also very complicated, Luo Lin managed to take a shortcut with a crude method:
She output a large amount of Honkai energy in a short time, constructing an extremely unstable mimetic divine key with only the function of "gravity". It could release gravitational force to gather enemies, and the pouring Honkai energy would form a whirlwind to tear apart the enemies within its range. Then, because of its own structure gradually crumbling, it exploded into a huge firework.
Gather enemies and cause damage.
Am I the Valkyrie · War Chariot?
So, just now, the advancing Honkai Beasts were almost wiped out a quarter by this move of the "Disabled Version of Eden Star", instantly making the sky much clearer.
The pressure on the Valkyries in the defensive position suddenly decreased, and the suppression on the frontline Honkai tide resumed.
Luo Lin stood next to an armored vehicle, using the Honkai energy detection technology she had learned earlier to construct a three-dimensional map of the battlefield in her mind, overlooking the dangers happening around from a god's-point of view, and supporting with her assault rifle shining with golden light in her hand.
"Bang Bang Bang—"
The golden light pierced through the smoke of the battlefield, shattering several advancing Honkai Beasts besieging the injured Valkyries, even on the debris that fell on the ground, there were marks resembling cuts and lumps that melted and solidified due to the high temperature.
The injured Valkyrie looked at Luo Lin with grateful eyes, as she stood like a spear in the center of the defensive line, dragging her unconscious colleague backwards.
An A-rank Valkyrie could indeed influence the situation in an area. Luo Lin, in coordination with the anti-aircraft vehicles, even cleared a piece of sky in the defensive position. Under her protection, the Valkyries could output against the distant Honkai Beasts without any restraint.
However, they still didn't completely stop the advance of the Honkai Beasts. Fortunately, the depth of the defensive position was enough, and the Valkyries calmly retreated to the second line of defense.
At this moment, Luo Lin's communicator beeped, and a familiar scientist's figure was projected out. The blue mophead looked at the battlefield where gunfire was blazing, somewhat surprised, and said, "I thought it would be as fierce here as it is in the other two battlefields..."
"Dr. Einstein? I hope you can hurry up and send the mech reinforcements. People are getting injured here every minute and second!"
"The mech reinforcements are on their way..."
"Specific time?!"
Luo Lin frowned, scanning the sky with her gun, several advancing Honkai Beasts torn to pieces by her sword bullet - the intense battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and her highly tense nerves made her tone quite rude.
At least now Luo Lin had completely forgotten that she was in a simulated world, and was fully focused on commanding the Valkyries to preserve themselves and kill the enemy.
She took a deep breath, smelling the scent of iron in the air, the fresh soil and burnt odor caused by explosions, and the high-concentration Honkai energy that slightly stung her nasal cavity.
This was the smell of the battlefield.
"Five..."
"Five?"
Einstein tapped the tablet twice.
"...Two, one, the first batch of reinforcements has arrived."
In the flickering light, heavy constructs crashed to the ground. With a faint hum of mechanical structures, they stood up and pointed their metallic weapons at the Honkai Beasts.
- The AE Vanguard Mech Unit arrived at the battlefield via teleportation!
