Final Lord

Chapter 202 Long-Range Artillery Tactics

The targeted Mother Tree was quite uneasy. It swept its sensory vines across the southwest corner but couldn't find the enemy at all.

Nearly two kilometers away, in this miasma-filled swamp, the distance is beyond the sight of the Mother Tree of Co-prosperity!
"One! Fire!"

Wang Bufu's furious roar shook the poisonous leeches off the withered branches of the Bone Mound. Five beams of dark blue light pierced through the thick fog of the swamp, and the rune projectiles transformed into five shimmering magical warheads!
The high humidity unique to the swamp causes the trajectory of the projectile to be covered with an electric arc, which triggers a chain of electrolytic reactions when it hits the Mother Tree's shield!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Crackling! Crackling!

The mother tree's trunk trembled violently, and her sensory vines were paralyzed by the intense light of [Shining Roar].

The sand table showed the mother tree's shield value plummeting from 1200 points. Wang Bufu seized the opportunity and roared, "Full overload! Blast its turtle shell through!"

The cannon barrel stabilizer melted into molten iron under overload, and crimson cracks spread along the runic patterns. The Archangels inserted their honeycomb-shaped runic barriers into the swamp, and the pale golden force field formed by [Shield Array Resonance] locked the construct cannon, which was about to explode.

At this moment, the firing rate of the construct cannons broke through the limit, with a shell hitting the Mother Tree's shield every 0.8 seconds!
"Shield value 600300-30, critical!" Thirty seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and Heska's voice trembled as she observed from high above. The mother tree's vine shield suddenly twisted into a vortex, and the symbiotic shield was on the verge of collapse.

Wang Bufu stomped on the ice crystals on the floating platform and shouted, "Overload over, everyone retreat! Blind Cat, prepare to heal the construct cannon!"

With a snap, all five modular cannons simultaneously broke apart and lay in disarray, their barrels burning hot.

Wang Bufu snapped his fingers in mid-air, and a group of magic spirit guards and magic spirit shield guards suddenly appeared. As heroic spirit soldiers, they felt no pain and were completely unafraid of high temperatures, and they lifted the five construct cannons in one go.

The blind cat stood in the middle of the construct cannon, showering it with healing magic one spell after another.

As a construct unit of the Archmage race, the Magic Artillery possesses both life and mechanical characteristics. It can be repaired and healed by magic, but the effects of both are halved.

But it doesn't matter, the blind cat with its divine gear has extremely high intelligence, and its magic recovery can keep up perfectly.

As Wang Bufu retreated, the ravaged Co-prosperity Mother Tree also arrived at a position about a kilometer away from them with heavy steps.

But it was too slow and couldn't catch up at all, so it could only watch helplessly as Wang Bufu and his group widened the gap between them.

When the distance was about two kilometers again, the artillerymen had been fully healed by the blind cat and regained their fighting ability.

"Deploy your positions! Another round of overload mode! Bombard them!"

Unconvinced and in high spirits, the king ordered the artillery barrage to resume!

Boom boom boom...

The swamp collapsed with asphalt-like cracks from the continuous bombardment, and the body of the Mother Tree of Coexistence was covered with patches of blue and black, looking utterly wretched.

Thirty seconds passed. The three magical artillerymen collapsed, billowing black smoke—the overload timeout had expired, and the rune cannons melted into scrap metal once more. But Wang Bufu's tactics were successful. The bark of the Mother Tree of Coexistence had been blasted apart, exposing its core area, and its original 2400 health points had dwindled to only 827.

The artillery is repaired, let's fire another round!
boom!
As the sky above the Bone Mound exploded with eerie blue flames once more, Wang Bufu's tactical sandbox suddenly lit up with a blinding red light.

The body of the Co-prosperity Mother Tree completely disintegrated under four consecutive rounds of [Overload Artillery Bombardment], and its energy core, which was ten meters thick, was exposed in the swamp miasma, like a giant clam whose shell had been peeled off.

The fluorescent spores on the mother tree trunk flashed wildly, and hundreds of python-like vines suddenly rose from the ground of the entire bone mound, crushing and devouring all the remaining fern marrow parasites deep in the swamp and on its body.

"Corruption has been activated!" Wang Bufu immediately issued an alarm. "Artillery, bombard! Suppress their health!"

Wang Bufu had already taken immediate action, but it was too late!
The mother tree's trunk rapidly regenerated, its bark growing back. A gaping maw of abyss opened in the center of the bark, and the shredded remains of the parasite, along with spore mists, fused together in its throat to form a dark purple tumor. A fusion body, eight meters tall, emerged from the cocoon! This monster had no facial features; its entire body was covered in vine-like blood vessels, making it look incredibly ferocious. [Corrupted Fusion Body]
Extraordinary Level 4

Attributes:
Life: 3288
Attack: 368 (Melee slap, area attack)

Defense: 356
Speed: 10
Special skills: None

Wang Bufu's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected that, despite their efforts to clear the way, there were still so many mutants deep within the swamp!

These lurking parasites and mutants, devoured by the Mother Tree of Symbiosis, miraculously created a monster with terrifying attributes. Although it lacked special abilities, its exaggerated attributes were already frightening enough.

Just then, the mother tree's body suddenly trembled, and countless vines wrapped around the fusion body, throwing it like a basketball, sending the corrupted fusion body flying a thousand meters away, landing directly near Wang Bufu.

That bastard lost his temper and abandoned all martial ethics. The special abilities didn't even mention the Mother Tree could throw the corrupted fusion that far.

Wang Bufu frowned.

This is a bit troublesome. With the amalgamation causing such a disturbance, the previous tactics can no longer be implemented.

It may seem like there's only one more enemy unit on the battlefield, but kiting two enemies is a completely different level of difficulty compared to kiting one enemy.

With the amplified attribute values ​​of the fusion entity, as long as it stands in front of the mother tree and blocks the cannon's muzzle, it would be impossible to kill this overlord before sunset.

At night, monsters will spawn in the semi-chaotic zone, which is very dangerous.

Not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but you will also be relentlessly hunted down by the fusion entity, which has no time limit for summoning.

"The Venomous Assassins haven't completed their transformation yet; their slowing and paralyzing effects still require damage to take effect. The fusion's defense is too high, so they can't control it."

It would be great if there were any Poisonous Miasma Cave dwellers who hadn't yet advanced by now.

The Poisonous Cavemen's slowing effect ignores defense. Tsk. I shouldn't have let them all advance so quickly. It was a mistake on my part.

"Poisonous miasma, huh!" Standing next to Wang Bufu, Shanpao trembled violently upon hearing Wang Bufu's mutterings, his heart pounding with excitement.

"It's finally my time to shine! My lord, I've got the poisonous miasma!"

Shanpao shouted loudly.

Wang was dissatisfied:! ! !

Wang Bufu quickly looked at Shanpao's panel and was shocked to see the familiar special skill, Poisonous Mist Spray!

He asked in surprise:

"Hey kid, when did you learn that?"

"When I saw you training the harpies, I thought, if they could master their old skills through training, why can't I? I'm no worse than them. So I trained my poisonous breath skill back to normal!"

Hillbilly patted his chest and said, "My lord, leave this fusion to me! I, Hillbilly, will suppress it single-handedly!"
