Chapter 242: Machine Gun Firepower Net

"Switch weapons, take the gun, load!"

At Lei En's command, the Extreme Warriors immediately moved, slinging their great swords back onto the side of the metal box on their backs, then taking the weapon on the other side and pulling off the black cloth covering it.

In an instant, a series of Lambo Guns appeared in the hands of the Extreme Warriors.

The jet‑black barrels were forged entirely of metal, compact in structure, starkly different from Ai Lun E Si's Soul Gun design.

They are slightly larger than the Lambo Gun Lei En first forged, with longer, thicker barrels; the whole gun is about 1.3 m long and weighs over two hundred pounds, its barrel etched with a dozen runes—a simple frost enchantment that greatly improves heat dissipation.

Each Lambo Gun is linked by an ammunition chain to the box on the Extreme Warrior's back.

The box is filled with bullets, a total of three thousand!

That many bullets weigh over a hundred pounds; an ordinary person could not run with them on their back, but for an Extreme Warrior it is a trivial load.

Lei En originally intended to equip each Extreme Warrior with at least ten thousand bullets; casings were no issue—using activated metal, he could churn out dozens of thousands of casings in a day.

But propellant and primers were insufficient; he toiled in the Mechanical Alchemy Chamber for over half a month, enlisting Xi Ka Liu Si and others to help in batches, and could only allocate this amount.

The Lambo Gun's theoretical rate of fire exceeds five hundred rounds per minute, but its actual combat rate is only about two hundred rounds per minute.

Three thousand bullets, if fired continuously, last at most fifteen minutes.

That is barely sufficient.

Lei En still remembers the shock that struck the barbarian that day when Xi Ka Liu Si tested the Lambo Gun.

Makurag people excel at throwing javelins; it is their only ranged attack.

This fighting style is both fierce and primitive.

They cannot lug massive bundles of javelins around all day, and once thrown the spears are hard to retrieve, greatly limiting their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, barbarians cannot cultivate Soul Power, nor can they wield Soul Guns like dwarves; they have no affinity for Soul Guns.

A weapon like the Lambo Gun that fires without Soul Power shocked Xi Ka Liu Si as profoundly as witnessing a deity descend!

Almost every adult Makurag has honed two Elements: the "Sharp‑Sighted Eye" and "Precise Throwing."

These two Elements grant them the potential of a divine archer.

Moreover, their robust physiques allow them to easily lift heavy firearms, endure recoil, and carry vast amounts of ammunition, granting them extremely long combat endurance.

The machine gun is practically an epic weapon tailor‑made for the Makurag!

When Lei En first saw Xi Ka Liu Si in the Great Hammer Arena, he imagined that arming the Makurag with machine guns would forge a terrifying machine‑gun infantry corps.

Today, that vision finally materialized!

Because the castle's limited space required concealing the Lambo Gun's secret and ammunition was scarce, the Extreme Warriors only conducted a trial; Lei En taught them basic firing points and some tactics.

Even though it was only a trial, each fired a couple hundred bullets, and the Extreme Warriors became enamored, wishing they could sleep clutching their Lambo Guns.

"Set up a crossfire net."

Lei En said swiftly, "Divide into two squads and position at these two points," pointing to the spots on either side of the High Tower entrance, "Spread out to enlarge the fire‑coverage area."

The trained Extreme Warriors grasped the tactic and immediately split into two groups: one of six, the other of seven.

In just a few seconds, the machine‑gun deployment was finished.

The High Tower entrance spans over twenty meters; the machine‑gun's fire angle is vast, virtually covering the entire area below the steps.

Lei En continued, "Three of you fire in rotation each time to prevent barrel overheating. Those not firing, watch the sky for enemies and guard against aerial attacks."

"Boss, ready!"

The Extreme Warriors at both positions allocated their firing sectors and responded loudly.

Lei En himself drew a Lambo Gun, slinging a metal backpack onto his back.

Before the High Tower, the Undead Army drew nearer, the ground trembling incessantly; the terrifying momentum left Marquis Suo Na Si trembling inside.

Even amid the frenzy, his blood‑pumped brain kept his human survival instinct on high alert.

Suo Na Si had witnessed the Lambo Gun's power but never experienced it firsthand; seeing each Extreme Warrior wield a Lambo Gun shocked him, yet he doubted whether these Soul Guns could repel the Undead Army.

Ao Xi Li Ya emerged from concealment, her face full of astonishment.

She had always thought there was only one Lambo Gun, never expecting Lei En to have produced so many!

But now is not the time for questions.

Lei En said to her, "From now on it's on me, Xi Li Ya, watch the enemy's spell attacks and try not to let spells hit the Extreme Warriors."

"Understood."

Ao Xi Li Ya solemnly nodded, drawing a wand to prepare a spell.

Lei En hoisted his Lambo Gun and sprinted down the steps, positioning himself slightly behind the apex of the crossfire net's angle, in front of the first defensive line.

The machine gun's range is so long that without getting closer it cannot draw in souls.

"Wait for my command!"

Lei En shouted.

The Undead Army had surged into range; at the front were massive numbers of evil spirit cavalry—at least two thousand riders—mounted on undead warhorses whose eyes and hooves emitted pale flames, and as they galloped the ground thundered like a roar, reverberating across Weizelan Fu Kong Cheng.

A single evil spirit rider's strength is comparable to a low‑tier Transcendent, posing little threat.

Two thousand riders charging together daunt even a Legendary High‑rank, who dare not meet their onslaught.

"Wait for my command!"

Lei En shouted again, his expression still calm.

The evil spirit riders had closed within three hundred meters, a terrifying aura bearing down, yet he stood unmoved, left hand gripping the machine gun, right hand bearing the Thunder Hammer, as if to face the Undead Army's onslaught alone!

On the steps, Suo Na Si's palms sweated, his tension uncontrollable.

Usually impassive, Ao Xi Li Ya felt her heart as if clenched, her rainbow‑shimmering beautiful eyes gazing at Lei En's silhouette, filled with indescribable emotion.

At that moment, many in Fu Kong Cheng witnessed the scene.

To the onlookers, Lei En's silhouette seemed infinitely elevated, a sight they would never again behold.

Only the Extreme Warriors, having received a condensed version of the True Will from Lei En, remained mentally focused, without any emotional fluctuation, their hands on the machine gun steady as mountains.

Every Extreme Warrior is waiting for Lei En's command.

Rumble—rumble—rumble—...

The ground's shaking grew stronger, and the evil spirit cavalry had already charged within two hundred meters.

Suonasi grew frantic and jumped, and Aoxiliya couldn't help shouting, "Lei En..."

"Open fire!"

She had just called Lei En's name when she heard Lei En let out a great roar.

Immediately, the first group of six Extreme Warriors pulled the triggers.

Clack—clack—clack—clack—...

Deafening gunfire roared, six barrels spewed flame, bullets poured out, six trajectories crossed, forming a terrifying metal storm.

The evil spirit cavalry at the front slammed into an invisible steel wall and was instantly torn into fragments.

The tiny bullets, boosted by speed, possessed unimaginable power.

The evil spirit cavalry also had flesh and blood; the bullets pierced them, leaving devastating wounds inside, then continued to pierce the second Undead on the trajectory, the third, the fourth… until all kinetic energy was spent, collapsing into a heap of debris.

Because the Undead were so densely packed, each bullet could hit at least four or five enemies.

The evil spirit cavalry fell en masse like wheat being reaped.

Black blood splattered, severed limbs fluttered.

In just a dozen breaths, the charging evil spirit cavalry suffered heavy damage, and their warhorses were reduced to wrecks, falling in sheets.

The evil spirit cavalry behind couldn't dodge, crashing heavily and causing secondary damage.

However, the Undead Army was simply too numerous.

They were all dead things, most lacking any living human feeling, and they unhesitatingly trampled the corpses of Undead on the ground as they pressed forward.

When they collided with that metal torrent, none escaped being torn to pieces.

Occasionally, a few lucky ones used other Undead bodies as flesh shields, breaking through the first line of fire, only to crash into the second line and die even more miserably.

Spider demons, corpse‑eating ghosts, zombies, skeletal terror demons… whether high‑rank or low‑rank Undead, under the machine gun's muzzle, there was no distinction.

Skeleton warriors, such bloodless Undead, fared even worse; a single bullet hit, with no flesh to cushion, the massive force instantly shattered them into a pile of bone fragments.

Thick‑skinned, hefty abominations could withstand a few shots.

But their targets were too large; the Extreme Warriors shifted their barrels slightly, focused, and in an instant turned them into sieves, collapsing into a puddle of foul, rotten flesh.

Lei En stood at the corner of the crossfire net, bullets whistling past him.

Undead fell before him one after another.

None could break through the fire net to reach him and get a chance to fire at him.

In his view, countless souls flew out, like a reversed celestial maiden scattering blossoms, pouring into Lei En's mind.

"Ugh!"

Lei En couldn't help but let out a muffled hum; his head nearly burst from the massive soul power, and his mobile phone interface hadn't been closed, so he hurriedly opened all Extreme Warriors' avatars and poured soul power into them.

The Extreme Warriors' souls strengthened at a visible speed.

Clack—clack—clack—clack—...

Shells kept being tossed, landing at the Extreme Warriors' feet, quickly covering the ground.

The dense gunfire continued unceasingly, forming a seamless roar that echoed throughout Fu Kong Cheng; wave after wave of Undead surged forward without fear, like suicide squads, only to be shattered by bullets.

The crossfire net formed by Lan Bo's Gun exceeded everyone's imagination.

This invisible metal storm was like the strongest defense in the world; no matter how the Undead Army charged, it stood firm like a reef in the sea!

On the steps, Suonasi stared in amazement, murmuring, "Goddess above, this… this weapon…"

Aoxiliya was also lost in a daze.

Her gaze fell on the Extreme Warriors, especially the Lan Bo's Guns in their hands, and her eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.

She already foresaw that after this battle, the Extreme Warriors and Lan Bo's Gun would cause a huge sensation.

The Makurag people have no soul power, yet they can wield such terrifying weapons, and they are mass‑produced, completely overturning people's understanding.

The first round of firing lasted a minute.

Six firing Extreme Warriors saw faint white smoke rise from their barrels, and one even experienced a jam.

Although frost runes improved heat dissipation, and the barrels were thickened, lengthened, and given greater heat capacity, such high‑intensity firing inevitably caused barrel issues.

Lei En timed it precisely and shouted, "Alternate fire!"

The second group of seven Extreme Warriors understood instantly, pulled the triggers and fired, seamlessly taking over the fire net; the first group stopped immediately, allowing their barrels to cool.

After two rounds, the Undead corpses piled like mountains, black blood flowing out like a flooded creek.

If it were a flat battlefield, the enemy corpses would create visual obstacles, affecting machine‑gun fire.

But not this time.

The Extreme Warriors stood on the steps, occupying the high ground; from above, their fire could reach directly behind the corpse mountain, leaving the Undead nowhere to hide.

At first, the Extreme Warriors weren't proficient with Lan Bo's Gun, and occasional gaps appeared in the fire net.

After two rounds each, they fully mastered the key points of machine‑gun firing.

The fire net became almost impenetrable; Undead breakthroughs grew rarer, and Lei En turned into a mere spectator, never firing a shot.

Thousands of souls were absorbed by Lei En.

It reminded him of his past life's gaming experience, a wave‑clear for gaining experience.

Activated metal quickly rose to level three, then stalled; no amount of additional soul power progressed the bar, clearly reaching its limit.

Toxin resistance kept steadily rising, from level one to five, six, and now eight.

This is now Lei En's highest-level Element.

However, toxin resistance is still a rare Element, unadvanced, which surprised him greatly.

In comparison, the Extreme Warriors improve faster, and more wildly.

The strongest, Xi Ka Liusi, was already at ninth level and hit a bottleneck, gaining little; Ao Tuo also reached ninth level; the other Extreme Warriors are all advancing toward eighth level, many have already broken through to eighth, and at this rate, it won't be long before everyone reaches ninth level!

Lei En couldn't help feeling very regretful.

With so much soul energy, it would certainly not be exhausted later; to avoid blowing his own head, he can only temporarily shut off the soul‑absorption function, letting the souls go to waste.

But he is still a sixth-level Wizard, having not performed a third Soul Transformation; otherwise, upon advancing to a high‑level seventh-level Wizard, the Arcane Elements could all be raised to Four Rings during this opportunity.

A few Supreme Elements might even be further strengthened.

Seeing the seemingly inexhaustible souls, Lei En even felt an impulse to inject himself with a Soul Transformation elixir on the spot and immediately perform the Soul Transformation ceremony.

Unfortunately, the Soul Transformation elixir is time‑limited and usually must be mixed on site; he has none prepared in his hand.

Moreover, doing so would be far too dangerous.

After the Soul Transformation ceremony, the phone will shut down and reboot, losing many abilities; if an accident costs his life, the loss would not be worth it.

"Damn it, missing this chance—who knows how long we'll have to wait for the next one."

Lei En, somewhat depressed, glanced at the time and shouted for the fifth time:

"Alternate fire!"

Haven't asked for votes in a long time; please give a few monthly tickets, thanks!
