Of course, only in terms of physical damage.
When it really comes to fighting, even the 5th rank, let alone the 4th rank, seldom involves only physical damage.
As for the others, including auxiliary runes such as anti-gravity runes, there’s even permanent low-tier Arrow Avoidance Shield and other defensive capabilities.
Moreover, these capabilities only consider recovery ability, setting permanent abilities to minimize Magic Power consumption.
In times of necessity, they can activate further protection through greater consumption.
At this moment, in preparation for the assault, this is precisely the time!
The target of this assault is a 4th-rank Lord, and the execution after precise calculation has been determined as a squad of seven armored units.
The protection on their bodies is instantly activated. Under the cover of shields corresponding to Spell and physical damage, seven armored units swiftly dash out from hiding, rushing towards the target’s territory.
The invasion of area 43 by the Mechanical Brain Worm also triggered a temporary Cycle Challenge, during which Lords have been annihilated by the Mechanical Brain Worm in armored units, and the news has spread in the regional channel.
As a 4th-rank Lord, there is naturally corresponding preparation.
The basic step is to fortify clear fields; there are essentially no effective cover for armors around the territory.
As a result, the Mechanical Brain Worm’s armors could only hide from afar and were discovered immediately upon rushing out.
Cannon fire and remote superpowers fell instantly, trying to intercept, including defensive towers upgraded from basic Watchtower buildings, launching various attacks turn after turn.
Yet they were dodged by the armor with speed and mobility. Even weaker attacks were not avoided, directly intercepted by the shield on their bodies.
These methods were commonly used by the Lords before, and the Brain Worms naturally have ways to counter, forming a set of targeted tactics.
The rune propulsion was constructed on the back of the armor as they dashed out, pushing their straight sprint speed to the limit.
Sufficient to approach the territory before the shield on their body breaks!
"Unidirectional Spell Shield, Force Field Shield...
Though only 4th rank, it seems a bit weak, but it’s enough.
It’s also because the witches did not emphasize it. Although corresponding defense spells existed long ago, they have never been implemented in the Rune Magic Array...
Otherwise, how could they construct only a 4th-rank level shield..."
Bai Yi, relying on his omniscient perspective, sees more detailed than both sides of the battle, detecting Brain Worms’ weakness.
Also knowing this is not the issue of Brain Worms.
In fact, if not for the rise of Power of Faith Weapon, witches’ casting is much more useful than Magic Equipment, and even attack-type Magic Weapon technology wouldn’t be pointed out.
Not to mention Rune Magic Array for defensive spells.
Based on the principle that offense is the best defense, and lacking corresponding needs, related research has not been emphasized at all.
It seems they must pay more attention to this...
Did not expect just entertaining watching, discovering such a technological gap, Bai Yi decides to add some workload for Bai Fa after enjoying the show.
Attention turns back to the battlefield; with the help of rune propulsion, seven armored units have successful breached the firepower net, entering the territory.
At this distance, if those powerful Watchtower buildings don’t want to cause collateral damage, they cannot function properly.
But for the Brain Worms, it means they could exert their efforts fully.
The fewer numbers allow them to not worry about friendly fire; the nearby area is also the target territory that needs destruction, fully disregarding environmental damage.
Metal starts shifting and constructing on the armor’s hands and even body, rapidly building firearms similar to Faith Weapons, firing wantonly around.
Though the energy used changed to Magic Power, it’s already sufficient for these ordinary Combat Units.
The soldier units surrounding have no battle capability, completely delaying with their Life under the armor’s cannon fire.
But the Brain Worms do not relax; as a 4th-rank Lord, cannot be just these means, surely have some unique skills.
And their speculation soon comes true.
However, they did not encounter any powerful Hero Units as imagined.
Instead, they face endless mobs.
Realizing something is wrong, they find their Magic Power reserves nearing half despite the firepower pouring out, but these mobs seem never-ending?
Killed so far, at least numbers have broken ten thousand...
As a 4th-rank Lord, why does it feel like fighting their own Insect Swarm brothers?
But Bai Yi, who has the Insect Swarm underground providing global vision, knows what’s happening.
It’s not that the Lord possesses similar soldier units to Insect Swarm.
But because that Lord is a Summoner!
