Chapter 1791: Chapter 543 Mechanical Legion Surrounds and Kills Tier 8_4

The cannon ammunition was high-grade, prepared specifically for them. Low-rank card masters died instantly, and even Sixth Order card masters were either killed or severely wounded on the spot.

"Poison Scythe" Zorass stared at his severely injured and dying team members, furious yet puzzled: how were these guys reacting so quickly?

It wasn’t a spontaneous response—they had clearly anticipated their descent from the ceiling and opened fire immediately.

Realizing this, Zorass’s expression darkened. After all, he was a seasoned mercenary veteran. He didn’t turn back to check on his subordinates but instead opened his massive mouth and unleashed a spray of Dragon’s breath toward the camp’s most densely concentrated cluster of Mechanical Battle Armor.

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

"..."

A stream of viscous green poison rained down relentlessly.

The corrosiveness of the Dragon’s toxic breath from an Eighth Rank card master was unparalleled—the steel structures in the camp melted instantly, like candles exposed to flame.

This time, Zorass personally joined the battle, hired by Duke Simon to completely eliminate these elite Eastern Wasteland natives.

After all, they had already discovered that the Eastern Wasteland natives possessed a type of "Hunting God Armor" capable of posing a threat to Seventh-Order card masters.

These threats had to be eradicated.

Furthermore, intelligence reports indicated that this native command center housed several of those battle armors.

When Zorass first entered the camp and saw the hundreds of Mechanical Battle Armors, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief that he had come personally.

Otherwise, if he had merely dispatched subordinates, they might all have been wiped out here.

He initially thought that one spray of Dragon’s breath could destroy a portion, and with a few more sprays, he could end the battle entirely.

But unexpectedly, events unfolded completely contrary to his expectations.

"Poison Scythe" Zorass unleashed a breath of Dragon’s breath, which indeed corroded considerable steel defenses within the camp.

However, the hundreds of battle armors simultaneously raised their shields, forming a massive, turtle-shell-like unified defense array.

Normally, the full power of an Eighth Rank Dragon Descendant’s Dragon’s breath would break down a Seventh Rank defense barrier within moments.

Let alone mechanical shields.

Though Zorass wasn’t proficient in Mechanical Technology, he understood that the principles behind mechanical and Magic Equipment were similar—the higher the quality, the higher the manufacturing expense.

He refused to believe that all of these hundreds of Mechanical Battle Armors were equipped with top-tier enchantments. Even the elite forces of the Southern Continent’s Three Royal Families seldom boasted such opulence.

And precisely because it seemed impossible, he was stunned.

How could these mechanical shields withstand his attack?

Even stranger, the mechanical shields were barely corroded!

Zorass couldn’t fathom it, but the Alliance Army’s strategists let out a sigh of relief.

Dragon’s toxic breath was undoubtedly formidable, but it wasn’t completely impossible to counter.

Neutralizing toxins followed comprehensive theories—acidic toxins could be neutralized with alkalis, fire-based toxins through Water Elements, and so on.

The intelligence on "Poison Scythe" Zorass had already been compiled into a handbook by Leonard Churchill. Now every Alliance high-ranking officer had a copy, making preparedness inevitable.

Additionally, even if the mechanical shields couldn’t block it on a theoretical level, the solution was simple: just make them thicker!

Unlike humans, machinery always had the advantage of raw strength.

The heavy shields had now become the Mechanical Battle Armor’s most potent defensive asset.

The Monster Dragon’s toxic breath failed to inflict significant damage. In an instant, the battle armor hidden under the shields raised their cannons, aimed at the Flying Dragon in the sky, and emitted dazzling blue lights.

"Boom!" Another deafening barrage erupted.

The fight escalated into an intense, white-hot conflict.

...

In the command room, the commanders were on edge, nerves stretched to their limit.

It was their first encounter with an Eighth Rank Dragon-blooded Card Master, and no one felt assured.

However, seeing the Mechanical Battle Armor withstand the first round of Dragon’s breath, everyone exhaled in relief.

As long as they could endure, they had the chance to fight on.

They also felt fortunate, thanks to the unexpected source of detailed intelligence from two days prior.

Even Catherine Carter was deeply grateful.

Without Leonard Churchill’s intelligence, had they followed their original plan, they might have achieved victory, but it would have been a pyrrhic triumph.

Reflecting on this, her gaze drifted to the calmest figure in the command room, her mouth curling into a gentle smile.
