Chapter 756: Chapter 749: Unexpected

The unique physics of the Otherworld did not affect the explosive reaction of the dynamite. The moment the runes were activated, the detonator was set off, which in turn detonated the nearby dynamite.

Only a small quantity of this high-performance dynamite was needed to create a severe explosion. It was a special explosive specifically designed on Earth to counter wars in the Otherworld.

Whilst Luoer’s invention of a silent ambush was effective there was still room for improvement in many areas. For example, ambushes were traditionally conducted using blasting runes instead of door-breaking explosives, resulting in prolonged preparation time for the ambush.

After all, the assault team needed to draw blasting runes on the spot, then provide power with inlaid magic crystals according to their strength. This approach was not suitable for the fast-paced combat of special operations. So in subsequent improvements, the academy gradually replaced blasting symbols with dynamite, allowing the assault teams to simply draw silence runes for the initial preparations for a door breach.

As the first flashbang was thrown by Luoer, Cheng Ziang and Hu Daoke quickly pulled the pins of their flashbangs and threw them in

The three flashbangs were thrown into the bridge one after another, resulting in a powerful explosion. The shockwave spread down the corridor and they could even see the sound waves in the air. The noise produced by the flashbangs was even louder than that of the door-breaking explosives.

A full-name of a flashbang is a flashbang grenade. When it explodes, it not only emits a blinding light that can cause temporary blindness, but also produces a deafening noise that blocks out all other sounds. Once a person’s vision and hearing are obscured, they can hardly stand, let alone resist.

"Fula, cover the entrance and establish a shielding spell, everyone else, concentrate our assault on the Bridge with Momo and me!" After hearing the three explosions, Luoer lifted his rifle and issued the order.

"Understood!" replied Fulajie’er, and then quickly flew towards the entrance.

Luoer’s plan was simple: have Fula open a magic shield while facing the door to resist any possible attacks. Then the advance team could breach from both sides of the shield, thus minimizing casualties.

Even though they were fully armed, they were still careful of enemy bullets. After all, body armor is great, but nobody really wanted to put it to the test.

Swiftly, Fulajie’er set up the Shield Magic right in the center. Although Shield Magic is invisible, it became quite noticeable amidst the smoky surroundings. Seeing the shield in place, Luoer quickly led the team towards the entrance.

The moment they stepped into the entrance, a violent gunshot sounded from inside, and Fula’s Shield Magic started to capture incoming bullets.

As it has been said before, if a mage can well control the flexibility of Shield Magic, he might be able to capture the incoming bullets. However, this is only theoretical as no mage would risk his life for such practice. Fulajie’er managed to do so because she is a ghost who fears no bullets and thus has no psychological burden.

The moment they breached the command bridge, Luoer immediately raised his rifle and aimed at the direction of the gunshots, constantly pulling the trigger. The advantage of using a magic silencer was that it helped distinguish between friendly and hostile gunfire since the magic silencer itself made no sound. Therefore, they only needed to fire back towards the source of the gunshots, without worrying about friendly fire.

As the shootout began, the sounds of gunfire inside the bridge intensified. However, most of it was unregulated, and bullets were fired everywhere. The three flashbangs that had just been thrown in were no joke. Even if some managed to avoid the flash, they could not possibly avoid the consecutive explosions.

In the face of this situation, Luoer seemed calm, consistently firing in the direction the gunshots were coming from. The bullets ricocheting around the bridge became their biggest threat.

As a terrestrial support vessel, the bridge of the Asirens resembled that of other Ronisca warships. The bridge was of an irregular arc shape with a raised platform in the middle serving as the captain’s command center. Surrounding it was a circle of messenger instruments used to communicate between different departments, coordinating the various tactical actions of the warship.

The only place on the bridge that could directly control the battleship was probably just the driver’s area at the very front of the center. This area could directly control the stance of the battleship, but that was all. If the driver wanted to adjust the height of the battleship, it would require the captain to issue an order to the anti-gravity engine room.

Although the arrangement of the bridge was more or less the same, the Asirens, as a ground support ship, was still different from the main battleship. The biggest difference should be the huge tempered glass observation window in front of the captain’s command platform.

From here, the captain could directly see the situation on the ground. There were two movable armors beneath the observation window. When the ground support ship conducted ground warfare, these two huge movable armors could expand, allowing the people on the bridge to see the situation on the ground.

Of course, even though it was tempered glass, its strength was in no way comparable to that of defensive armor. Therefore, the observation window of the ground support ship could only be opened when there was no threat of ground fire. If the ground fire was strong, the captain could only understand the situation on the ground through observation posts in other locations.

Because visibility needed to be guaranteed, the observation window was made of a single layer of high-strength tempered glass about 20 millimeters thick. Compared to the solid armor, it seemed quite fragile.

Yet, this design was not borne out of desperation, but was intentional. Because the bridge could directly control the opening of the observation window, if the battleship was invaded by the enemy, the command core and technical personnel of the bridge could open the observation window and escape by parachute, without having to return to the passage to find another exit.

Therefore, here, Luoer made a small oversight. He didn’t ask about the layout of the Asirens’s bridge and thus mistakenly thought that the bridge was a dead-end. As long as they could block the bridge, they could capture Momo. He had no idea that the observation window of the ground support ship’s bridge could be opened.

Soon, the four-person raid team cleared the resistance inside the bridge. At that time, Luoer felt a disturbance of magic power and hurried over to the captain’s command platform.

From the high platform, Luoer immediately saw Momo standing not far away from the observation window. It was then that he noticed the armor beneath the observation window had already been unfolded, revealing the dark ground below.

Seeing Momo, without a second thought, Luoer lifted his gun and fired. However, Momo was obviously prepared. In front of him stood a dwarf mage who waved his magic wand reciting an incantation. All of Luoer’s bullets were deflected by the shielding magic the dwarf mage had set up.

"Damn it!" Luoer cursed under his breath, immediately dropped his rifle, and jumped off the platform.

As he jumped down, he shouted loudly, "Fula, go interfere with him!"

He was so anxious because he noticed that Momo and the dwarf mage casting the shield magic were both carrying backpacks. Unless he was mistaken, those should be parachute packs, a basic piece of equipment for everyone in the air fleet.

Momo looked unhappy and resentful at Luoer’s arrival. Watching him jump off the platform, Momo promptly hit a device nearby without a moment’s hesitation. Then, a shocking event occurred.

The huge observation window suddenly echoed with the sound of explosions, amidst which were sounds of shattering. Soon, many cracks spread from around to the center. The originally smooth and transparent tempered glass was instantly filled with cracks.

This must be the escape device for the bridge crew, using directional blasting points laid around the observation window to instantly shatter the huge piece of tempered glass, so the people on the bridge could escape from here.

Not long after the explosion occurred, this entire piece of tempered glass quickly caved in, and then fell downward as a whole. Woven through the glass was wire mesh, so it did not shatter into scattered pieces.
