The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 839 - 521: Battlefield Experiment

Northern projection, extending passage.

This place, known as the Northern Passage, extends all the way to the northern mountainous region of the Lebia Continent.

It is a mountainous area composed of several mountain ranges, located near the edge of the continent.

Firstly, it must be clearly understood that this world has so-called boundaries, and the Lebia Continent is at the far north of the entire world map.

And now, the northern mountainous region can be said to be at the northernmost part of the entire world.

Except for some islands extending further into the ocean, this can be said to be the area closest to the edge of the world.

And previously, the group of Magic Nodes that Kana and his team were sucked into the Time Illusion Realm was located here.

"The magic fluctuations here are really quite unstable, we need to update the calibration data of the Teleportation Gate again."

A Scholar of the Night Watchers muttered while holding the data book in his hand.

He is currently at the large teleportation node established here by the Night Watchers.

A huge Teleportation Crystal floats at the top of the entire building, absorbing the surrounding magic.

"Isn't there good and bad in this?" Another Scholar, also inspecting the teleportation data, said with a smile, tapping his head with a pen: "In a place like this, there will never be a shortage of magic. With abundant magic, it's great that transportation can be fully loaded anytime."

As they spoke, another blue light column shot into the sky.

A large group of people appeared on the teleportation platform, as well as densely packed boxes of supplies.

Each supply box is a piece of large-scale spatial transportation equipment. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

A group of multi-armed puppets with single wheels quickly rushed over from the surroundings, soon forming a conveyor belt-like transportation route.

One by one, the supply boxes were quickly moved away from the teleportation point.

"The next teleportation is delayed, we need to close the teleportation node and recalibrate the data, let the people on the other side wait for a bit."

The Scholar who spoke earlier said, beginning to close the teleportation station.

At this moment, the ground trembled, and the entire area began to shake.

Along came the regional alarm sirens, the piercing alarms made the surrounding Night Watchers slightly tense, but everyone just sped up and began doing their respective tasks.

"Activate the Earth Element Stabilizer, all Mages specializing in the earth element stabilize the elemental fluctuations."

A commander of the Night Watchers shouted loudly.

The notified people quickly operated in the whole area, and the shaking of the earth was soon stabilized.

"Those damn rats, they never stop for a moment."

A Mage wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help cursing.

And at the passage defense line.

Battle Observation Tower

The strong wind carried the stench of rotting blood to their faces, but the Night Watcher Scholar seemed oblivious to it, focused on adjusting the multi-section telescope mounted at the battlement.

In the lens, tens of thousands of Ratmen were climbing up on the burning corpses of their kind, and several breaches had already been made in the recently built walls, with seven skeletal cloud ladders erected over these gaps.

"Incendiary rounds loaded!" Came the roar of the Night Watcher artillery captain from below.

Just as the Scholar was about to give the order to fire.

A message from the commander came through his channel

[Hold fire, wait until the ladders reach the second line of defense before firing.]

"What?" The artillery captain below nearly crushed the railing in his grip, "We can destroy them directly by firing now..."

"Let them pile the bodies higher, that should be the intention." The Scholar's lens flashed coldly, "Alert the sappers to prepare the liquid fire oils, pour them into the breaches as soon as the incendiary rounds go off — this fire might burn until sunrise tomorrow."

As if confirming his words, the first cloud ladder crashed against the wall. The Scholar snapped his fingers, and several dozen bronze tubes suddenly emerged from hidden slots in the wall, spraying a viscous black liquid that soaked the foremost Ratmen.

This section of the wall was precisely their testing ground, so regardless of whether it was the wall, weapons, or the observation tower, all were specially modified.

"Fire!"

Incendiary projectiles traced a crimson arc, igniting the black oil upon impact.

The flames took on an eerie azure hue, spreading with the liquid into a vast net, illuminating the entire battlefield as bright as day. Amidst the screams, the Scholar lowered his head to record data: "The burning temperature is 15% higher than expected, but the adhesion is insufficient..."

"Tutor! A Ratman's seismic beast has appeared on the western side!"

The Scholar's pen tip didn't pause: "Activate plan 3, switch the crossbow cannons to frozen rune arrows. This device has been verified and will definitely withstand the test. Remember, wait until it fully emerges from the ground before shooting the vital point."

Considering this was a new weapon, he added: "Use Identification to observe."

The artillery captain rolled his eyes, he was formerly a Night Watcher Ranger, how could he not understand these things.

Suddenly, the entire observation tower shook violently. In the cracks of the crumbling bricks, a blood-red compound eye pressed against the fissure, rotating. The Scholar drew his Magic Power Pistol from his waist, the Alchemy Array Pattern on the barrel glowing with a blinding blue light.

"Bang!"

The Enchanted Silver Bullet pierced through the bricks, accurately blasting that eye to bits. Viscous fluid spattered on the wall, emitting wisps of green smoke as it corroded.

The Scholar flicked the heated gun barrel and turned to raise his eyebrows at the stunned deputy: "Next time, remember to add spikes to the outside wall of the observation tower — at least it can delay them by 0.3 seconds."

He said as he looked at the weapon in his hand.

"It's such a great self-defense weapon, can't deny the Leader's foresight and talent in this area. It's just a bit complicated in craftsmanship, a bit expensive in materials, and not too convenient."

Isn't that all a problem?! The deputy beside him complained inwardly.

"But these are our issues, just need to spend a bit more time to solve them."

Meanwhile, the artillery captain below, controlling the new weapon, watched the previous scene. His eyes were fixed on the weapon on the Scholar's waist, gleaming.

At dawn the next day.

As the morning mist, laced with the smell of burn and rot, swept over the battlefield, the black flag of the Night Watchers still flew on the walls.

The Scholar stepped over the smoking Ratman corpses across the defense line, his notebook filled with scribbled data. Two Night Watchers jogged to catch up with him.

"Commander, you're too deep in, although the battlefield is being cleaned, dangers still lurk on the ruins at any moment."

"Yeah, the Leader asked us to watch out for your safety, not to let you linger in dangerous places for long periods."

The Scholar impatiently waved his hand.

"I need to personally see the power of the new shells, how can I make improvements if I don't see them? I'm also a Night Watcher, it's not that easy to get rid of me."

He spoke without even raising his head.

Until another hand patted his shoulder.

"Tsk!" The Scholar blinked irritably, lifting his mouth in annoyance: "Didn't I say..."

"Leader!" He collected himself, saluting.

Kana, who had arrived unnoticed, merely smiled and patted his shoulder: "Terbechi, I know you're obsessed with Magic Power Weapons, but this is the battlefield, and they are the elites on the battlefield. Sometimes it's better to heed the advice of others."

"Yes! I won't make such mistakes again next time!" The Scholar saluted solemnly, seeming to have realized his mistake.

But Kana had heard similar words two or three times before, and could only sigh helplessly.

From afar came rumbling, as new fortifications rose from the ruins.

Kana gazed toward the gloomy northern sky, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

In his eyes, the magic there was gathering, something was beginning to take shape.

"Let's see who is faster, you or us."
