Chapter 238: Sudden Turn, Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon Rapid Fire

Kamiyu possessed strong confidence, not blind confidence. Fighting thirty thousand with less than a thousand people certainly required strategy and tactics. Warfare was a technical craft of meticulous operation, unlike Fruit Ability Users who, relying on sheer numbers, could charge ahead recklessly without a care.

Kamiyu had prepared a series of surprises for Hungry Ghost Shara and its Fruit Ability User Army.

Phase One: Eliminate the enemy’s flying-type Ability Users to prevent them from harassing her Sanctuary from the sky, while simultaneously striking and retreating to lure the enemy into a trap.

Since the enemy was an army led by the arrogant commander Hungry Ghost Shara, once the arrow was released from the bow, there was no turning back. Hungry Ghost Shara would definitely order the Fruit Ability User Army to advance.

Thus, Phase Two involved using the Magic Cannons to harvest the first wave of fifty thousand enemy troops, continuing to provoke them to see if they would escalate their attack.

If they did not escalate the attack, Kamiyu would take the initiative and directly go to kill Hungry Ghost Shara. If they did escalate, she would activate Phase Three of the battle plan: deploying the Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon.

On the Royal Pegasus, Kamiyu raised her right hand, extending three fingers to signal the activation of the Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon.

The personnel in the Black Sphere War Room observed this scene and immediately instructed the gun crews of the Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannons mounted on the main gates of the first, second, and third defensive line city walls to fire at once.

The player operating the Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon excitedly said, “It’s finally our turn. Watching them fight for so long without us getting any action was driving us crazy.”

“Haha, in a moment, they’ll have plenty to crave. Let them witness the power of our Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon.”

“Alright.”

Everyone swiftly adjusted the firing angles and ranges as they had practiced during drills.

“The gun crew at the innermost third defensive line, prepare to fire first,” Kamiyu directly commanded.

“Received.”

“Switch to Positron Annihilation Cannon mode. Fire on my command,” Kamiyu said, gripping the specially made Black Sphere headset from Xiao Zhong.

“Standing by.”

Kamiyu saw that the second wave of one hundred thousand Fruit Ability Users was moving twice as fast as before. They had shifted from running on two legs to a wild, four-legged sprinting posture, and their skin had turned deep red.

Just as the ammunition was about to be fired.

“All scattering?” Kamiyu exclaimed in surprise as she saw the enemy’s formation change just as they were about to reach the Absolute Defense Perimeter.

On the Elephant, a humanoid Ability User, Hungry Ghost Shara retracted the Slave Control Array and said smugly, “See? Fruit Ability Users aren’t just there to take hits. They can revert from humans to Aberrant Beasts. My adjustments under the Divine Tree weren’t a waste of time.

They have now gained Fire Resistance. Let’s see if one hundred thousand robust, fire-immune Ability Users can break through your Sanctuary, Kamiyu.”

The Magic Cannon gun crews on the city walls discovered that fire-attribute attacks were ineffective and were at a loss.

“Why isn’t it working?” “Have the enemies become stronger?”

“They’re so fast! Quickly readjust the range, shorten it. Don’t fire randomly.”

The intelligence analyst in the Black Sphere War Room analyzed, “Although the enemy’s numbers have increased, they’ve learned to spread out and run in formation. Our artillery attack efficiency has decreased.”

Before the second intelligence officer could speak, Li Changde immediately issued the command: “Don’t just stand there, quickly use the Ice Element Magic Cannon to control the field.”

“That’s right, the hail can slow down the enemy’s advance speed. Everyone, switch the artillery shells quickly,” Xiao Zhong urged.

“Fortunately, Miss Kamiyu had the foresight to raise the terrain. The enemies are running uphill, and with the moat, it can slow them down,” said Dunzi, who had previously followed Kamiyu’s orders to alter the terrain.

“Yes, Miss Kamiyu is very steady. She prepared over a hundred thousand rounds for each attribute of magic artillery shells. After firing for most of the day just now, the fire attribute magic artillery shells have only consumed 15% of their stock.”

With that, the loaders of the magic cannons switched to other attribute artillery.

Everyone reacted extremely quickly, not even leaving time for the experts on the tree branches to question Kamiyu’s Sanctuary again.

Boom, boom, boom—the blue-white Magic Ice Crystal Shells swiftly landed on the battlefield in front of the Sanctuary.

“Scatter, scatter! Don’t cluster them together. What we need is to freeze their steps so the Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon can sweep through them,” ordered the captain of the first artillery unit.

The ice crystal shells fell in a fan-shaped pattern into the formation of the Fruit Ability Users. The ice crystals that exploded mid-air re-condensed on the ground. The extremely cold temperature reduced the activity of living beings, and with the freezing effect of the ice skills, the shells that exploded upon landing froze hundreds of Beast Form Fruit Ability Users in place.

The first volley halted the Beast Form Ability Users who had charged to the forefront.

“Well done,” Kamiyu praised.

Hungry Ghost Shara, atop the elephant, widened his eyes in disbelief and said, “They can fight like this too? Why are there attacks of other attributes?”

If Kamiyu heard Hungry Ghost Shara’s words, she would surely say: “Surprised, aren’t you? Who told you my magic cannons only have one attribute? And you call yourself a Fifth-Tier Ability User? No matter how high-tier a bug climbs, it’s still a bug and won’t understand the world outside.”

The experts on the tree branches were even more astonished: “Kamiyu, she actually still had the capacity to produce magic cannons of other attributes? How many materials does she have?”

“It’s too exaggerated. The magic cannons are firing as if the shells cost nothing. In the Crimson Earth, no Beta Tester has such boldness or resources. She’s a new player, a newly promoted Beta Tester. When did she accumulate so many magic artillery shells?”

One expert, eyes wide open, calculated: “Building over a thousand magic cannons, plus firing nearly ten thousand shells just now, and the firing rate is still increasing—the materials must amount to at least a million units.”

Lin Fan was left speechless, thinking with shock and admiration in his heart: From the start of the bombardment until now, Kamiyu hasn’t fired a single shot herself. This means she’s holding back. If I were to become her enemy, I would surely be reduced to ashes. I absolutely must not oppose her.

Lin Fan completely dismissed the idea of snatching an advantage from the fire that had been lurking in his heart. Originally, he had planned to seize the Altar of Lilith swiftly if the Sanctuary were breached. But now, seeing Kamiyu’s imposing might, he knew that if he dared to do so, he would be the first to die.

Back on the battlefield.

Before the shock could settle, Hungry Ghost Shara stood up in astonishment.

As Kamiyu saw the battlefield was nearly frozen over, she swung her right hand forward, mimicking a certain captain from Gundam who would sway back and forth, and declared loudly, “Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon, fire.”

The main gunner pressed the launch button, and a positron annihilation beam, with power no less than her Sound of Chaos, shot rapidly forward.

With a dull “boom,”

80,000 Ability Users were instantly vaporized, and even among the 150,000 Ability Users in the third formation, 20,000 were annihilated.
