Chapter 385: Mass-produced Lux and Mass-produced Sion
Professor Heimerdinger has always been a pacifist.
From the day Jayce and Viktor invented Hextech , he was clearly against the weaponization of Hextech.
However, after joining the Leaders Association and accepting the idea that "the weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons"...
Professor Heimerdinger was like a greedy monk who had finally returned to secular life and completely let himself go.
Hextech Micro Missiles, H-28G Evolution Turret, CH-2 Electronic Storm Grenade, Hextech Tyrannosaurus, Hextech Wulong...
He was worried that his two students would go to extremes, but he ended up inventing more Hextech weapons than Jayce and Victor combined. Moreover, they were more powerful.
Especially this H-28Q cutting-edge turret:
It can intelligently identify enemy and friendly targets, judge the battlefield situation, and automatically fire conventional cannon shells or high-energy laser beams driven by Hexgems at the locked enemy according to actual needs.
Yes, while other places were still playing with hand-rolled fireballs, he even invented autonomous artillery with low-level artificial intelligence.
If a steam robot is used as the mobile chassis to carry this intelligent autonomous artillery.
Then the leader will be able to obtain an autonomous combat machine that can replace human soldiers on a large scale, and even replace most extraordinary people in terms of combat capability.
"pacifist."
This is the name Levi gave it.
A pacifist is someone who wants to use the most powerful firepower to eliminate the enemy in the shortest time possible, thereby achieving peace as quickly as possible.
Like now:
"H-28Q top turret, deploy the artillery!"
Du Kecao's face turned green when he saw those clumsy and bloated steam robots suddenly transform into cannons with barrels thicker than their thighs, like Transformers.
Then, in the next second, his face turned pale again - illuminated by the countless laser beams as blazing as the sun that shot out from the air with the force of sweeping away thousands of troops.
These beams of light are like God's focusing lenses. Wherever the light shines, it will quickly turn into a scorched earth.
The Noxian mages reacted quickly and erected solid magic shields for the imperial army.
But there are too many people on the Empire's side.
Even if there are tens of thousands of transcendents serving Noxus, they cannot support a shield that can protect an army of 100,000 at the same time.
So, while a few lucky ones hid behind the mage, more Noxian soldiers were engulfed by the blazing laser beams because they were unable to block or dodge.
In this battle, Leader deployed about 1,000 Pacifists.
And 1,000 Pacifists are 1,000 H-28Q cutting-edge turrets powered by Hexgems, which are equivalent to 1,000 powerful light elemental mages, or... 1,000 beggar versions of "Lux".
1,000 "Lacus" simultaneously used their maximum output power to cast "Ultimate Flash" on the densely packed mortal army. That scene... was simply like the descent of heavenly fire!
The earth was burning, charred bones were scattered all over the ground, and the sky and the earth were a sea of fire, like purgatory on earth.
"Damn it... Fire! Fire!" Witnessing this tragic scene, Du Kecao instinctively wanted to fight back.
But he quickly calmed down.
If he was facing an ordinary enemy, he could use cannons against cannons and use stronger long-range firepower to crush the enemy's artillery positions.
But the problem is that he is now facing the Wind Leader, the Wind Leader who is blessed by the God of Storms.
The leader is not afraid of artillery shells at all.
Not only cannonballs, but also the mage's wind blades, fireballs, water bombs, light waves... and any other long-range attack methods with flying trajectories are completely immune to the Wind Leader.
As for the rare long-range spells like laser beams that do not have a linear trajectory... the Wind Leader is indeed not immune to them.
But Noxus can't produce so many professional light elemental mages to come here and fight against the mass-produced hex turrets of the Leader!
The spell turrets of the Wind Leader burn Hexgems, which are money. When the mana is used up, you can exchange it for a Hexgem to restore it to full mana.
Noxus's "humanoid magic turret" burns the mana in the body, which is life! When the mana is exhausted, the person will fall down.
then……
The spell battle had only just begun when the Noxian mage corps was completely at a disadvantage.
What's worse is that a whistling sound of wind came from the Wuji Mountain behind the Leader.
The Noxian soldiers' old acquaintances, the deadly Bluebird 1 suicide drones, took advantage of this round of laser artillery coverage and fired, and flew out of the mountains like a swarm of bees, flying towards the crowded battlefield.
If they successfully hit the ground, then...
"We can't delay any longer. Pass my order, and the entire army will attack!" Du Kecao gave the order decisively.
He knew that the Empire was not capable of playing long-range Poke with the Leader.
To win, you must brave the enemy's fire and rush to the Wind Leader as quickly as possible, dragging the enemy into close combat, which is what Noxian warriors are best at.
"And more." Du Kekao turned and looked at Vladimir.
"Sir," he asked seriously, "Didn't you say you would help us solve the problem of the Leader's long-range firepower?"
"Don't worry." Vladimir sniffed the scent of blood and flesh that gradually filled the air, and a hint of excitement flashed in his calm eyes: "I will take action."
As he spoke, Vladimir took a slow step forward.
His body quickly turned from solid to nothing. Countless scarlet liquids gushed out from his seemingly ordinary human body, gathering, churning, and surging, and finally condensed into a blood-red cloud floating in the air.
"Blood-red pool!"
Under Vladimir's control, the pool of blood slowly flew into the sky.
"This..." Du Kecao's pupils shrank.
He saw that the pool of blood summoned by Vladimir was constantly expanding and extending in mid-air, with countless "tentacles" made of blood extending in all directions.
At the same time, hundreds of Scarlet Cultists who had been waiting in various places on the battlefield in advance, under the orders of their great master, slowly chanted the forbidden spells of blood magic.
Then, a powerful and evil magical force, centered on the blood pool summoned by Vladimir and supported by hundreds of Scarlet Cultists, quickly spread and enveloped the entire battlefield.
The sky quickly changed color.
These blood tentacles are like a giant capillary network spread out over the battlefield.
They eventually connected to the bodies of the fallen Noxian soldiers, and then, like straws...
Gulp, gulp.
The flesh and blood in the corpse turned into nutrients, which were greedily taken away by these tentacles that seemed to have life.
At this moment, Vladimir was like the Ziben family in Shuangcheng. Even a corpse that had been roasted to charcoal could be sucked out of several kilograms of oil.
Then, as the corpses became shriveled and decayed, the pool of blood suspended above the battlefield became increasingly larger - it almost became a blood-red giant umbrella that blocked the sky tightly behind the blood curtain.
"What, what kind of monster is this!" The Noxian soldiers on the ground also noticed this strange scene.
They looked at the blood-red sky above their heads in fear. Then, they soon discovered...
"It... is helping us block the artillery fire of the Leader?" The soldiers suddenly realized that the horrifying sea of blood floating above their heads was actually a giant anti-aircraft shield protecting the sky—a shield made of blood.
Before the leader's drone could land, it was firmly stopped by the blood dome in mid-air.
Brilliant sparks soon exploded in the air.
One Bluebird drone after another fell in the explosion, but in the end it only left a few wounds on the blood dome.
The wound was quickly repaired automatically in the surging sea of blood, making the blood-colored sky return to its original solid state.
However, every explosion would cause a lot of blood to be dispersed into a small blood rain in the blast wave, and eventually fall back to the ground silently.
"Great!" The soldiers were bathed in the smelly blood rain, but they were only concerned with cheering for their own luck.
The blood rain will only stain their clothes and bodies, but the leader's drones will take their lives.
However, is it really that simple?
"This blood rain..." With the assassin's master's dangerous intuition, Du Kecao instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He could vaguely sense that almost every drop of blood floating before his eyes contained an extremely evil magical power.
Du Kekao quickly hid under the eaves to avoid the blood rain falling on his head.
Then, he looked at Vladimir angrily: "Sir, tell me...what is hidden in this blood rain?!"
"Just a little bit from my magic." Vladimir replied with a smile.
"Of course..." His smile became very dangerous: "You can also call it - Blood Plague."
"You?!" Du Kecao glared at him.
He was just trying to figure out what effect this blood plague had. But the effect of this plague was already revealed before his eyes:
The bodies of those soldiers who were the first to be bathed in the blood rain had undergone strange changes.
Their eyes turned bloodshot and blood vessels burst all over their bodies. Blood gushed out from their cracked skin and merged with the twisted, deformed, squirming muscles, eventually creating blood-red humanoid monsters.
The soldiers finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
The plague has spread with a rain of blood.
The living lost their minds and turned into blood-thirsty beasts.
And the dead could actually crawl up in the blood rain and turn into zombies driven by instinct.
"This, this..." Du Kecao's eyes were bloodshot.
Vladimir only looked at the imperial army that was fleeing in the blood plague in the distance, and sighed somewhat unsatisfiedly: "Alas, the terrain here is still too open."
"Too many people have fled the battlefield before they were covered by the blood rain. It's such a waste."
"Asshole!" Du Kecao finally couldn't hold back and cursed: "What did you do to my soldiers?!"
"Do what you ask me to do, General." Vladimir smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to help you find a way to deal with the long-range firepower of the Wind Leader? This is my solution--"
"Only living people are afraid of firepower."
"So I asked them to all become 'General Thane'."
