The Card Apprentice-Chapter 533 - The Firepower of The Four Teams

The enemy’s moment of distraction would be an extremely rare opportunity to engage for the Wooden Word Camp card artisans who were setting up ambush against them.

After getting through the explosion, the remaining card artisans were still holding on to their energy shields, making them extremely eye-catching across the field. The fading light of the energy shields proved that they were still affected by the attack even though they did not suffer from any injuries. The ranged attack squad immediately launched their attack without any hesitation!

The past battle experience had proven that the first wave of attack would generate the most effective outcome. The first wave of attack could kill or damage the enemies in a more effective way, especially through surprise attack.

The screams of pain were all over the battlefield. The overwhelming energy forms in the sky were enough to cover up the sun.

Team 3 was using Card numbered 032, [Tailless Shuttle Card], the card that Chen Mu used in the past. This card could release a high penetration energy force which allow them to have an insight into the energy shield of the same level. The four-starred card used by the third team was the advanced version of [Tailless Shuttle Card], which was called [Tailless Shuttle Card 2.0] by Chen Mu. The team members called it Card Number 2 for short. The three-starred [Tailless Shuttle Card] was called Card Number 1 for short.

Card Number 2 had a greater power as compared to Card Number 1. The difference between their powers could be easily recognised by listening to their whistler. It sounded like Chen Mu’s [Patterned Shuttle] but its requirement towards perception lock-on was lower.

A Tailless Shuttle was travelling in high speed and eventually crashed onto the enemy’s energy shield, causing a tremendous shake on it. The card artisan was shocked when he was about to dodge away from it, a second wave of energy form bursted onto his energy shield heavily out of nowhere.

Bang!

A third Tailless Shuttle violently drilled its way into his chest. WIth its powerful force, it blasted off to a distance 5 metres away with the enemy’s along.

The Number 2 Card’s Tail Shuttle was longer and thicker than the normal one. A normal Tail Shuttle looked like an arrow while the enhanced version of Tail Shuttle was like a spear, longer and stronger. If a card artisan was to be hit by the Tail Shuttle, he would be shattered into pieces along with their energy shield at the same time.

The card used Team 2 was cards numbered 031, called the [Burning Rain]. Its prototype was [Oudi Burner], but it no longer required 3 users to cast together. One single user would be able to use it. It inherited the [Oudi Burner]’s feature, which could absorb the enemy’s energy to maintain its burning feature. However, as it could only be used by one user, it could only manage to release 50 flames in every attack. After going through the optimization by the Computation Box, the [Burning Rain] would consume less energy and would be able to absorb the enemy’s energy much more faster!

The disaster brought by the[Burning Rain]was like putting everyone in hell, where screams of pain were everywhere!

Such terrifying flame could have the burning capacity which would make one’s blood boil.

The level 4 [Burning Rain] would shift its form according to the perception control of the card artisan. This allowed it to be a versatile card which could be used in both wide range and close range situation! However, [Burning Rain] required a relatively higher level of perception control and therefore, any weaker card artisan would not be able to use it.

The cards used by Team 4 were of category 033, which would be soundwave cards. Along Chen Mu’s journey, he had only seen few soundwave cards and he only owned one, which was the [Sound Beam] in Lu Xiaoru’s hand. He was deeply impressed by the effect of this card that came into play in Lu Xiaoru’s hand.

033 was named [Crow]. Its prototype was the [Sound Beam] in Lu Xiaoru’s hand. He gave up on [Sound Beam]’s various forms of transformation decided to focus in enhancing its’ power. [Crow] could release only 5 types of soundwaves. However, each of the soundwaves was incredibly strong. Even him, as a creator of the soundwave card, was shocked by the power he had developed. In the meantime, the computation box had started to play a critical role because after using it as a power enhancement tool, eventually there appeared to be a structural differences between [Crow] and [Sound Beam].

The level 4 [Crow] could only release 3 types of soundwaves, but all of them had gone through overlocking compression, which granted them the ability to crush even the air!

The 3 squads launched their attacks with everything they got. Moreover, they were taking turns to engage. Team 4 was the first to take the shot. 400 underclocking compressed super soundwaves were casted and eventually crashed onto the energy shields. The energy shield was broke into pieces after the “bang” sound!

At the moment of collision, the soundwave bomb exploded, releasing radiated soundwaves to the surroundings! The radiated soundwaves might not have be as strong as the collision, but it could be enough to make the enemies troops dizzy and became limb.

Immediately after, an overwhelming amount of Tailless Shuttle and Flames suddenly fell from the sky, causing massive death and injuries to the distracted enemies.

One site was well prepared for war, while the other side was unprepared for what was coming to them in the war. The victorious side was to be expected at a glance.

The whole campsite had turned into a mess upon the explosion of [One-wave Bomb] in addition to the 400 compressed soundwave bombs.

Every cards in the numbered series was extremely powerful. Not to mention the card which had gone through optimization! In a numbered card series research done by several scholars from the later generation, starting from card numbered 030, they had discovered that the mysterious card designer had gone through a substantive progress with his skills. However, they would had never expect it was all because of Chen Mu had managed to obtain the Computation Box!

Moreover, Chen Mu did not switch away those over 30 card artisans that had manage to pass through level 7 from their original teams, instead he chose to let them stay.

Of course, the card artisans who had achieved level 7 were strong! With the help of the enhanced numbered card series, these over 30 card artisans had possessed terrifying combat power although they were just broke through level 7.

The Wooden Word Camp’s equipments level was at the top in the industry. Who else out there would be willing to fully-equipped their teams with extravagant numbered card series? Which team out there could own a scouting equipment like the Spinulosa Disk? Which team out there could own a convenient and fast forest telecommunication card ?

The scene of all three squads setting off together was large in scale. With their overwhelming firepowers, it would be more than enough to raise a chaos to the enemies!

However, although Chen Mu and his team was ahead of the fight, immediately after the first wave of attack, the Cang Jiang Military Force started to keep their feet grounded to the field, preparing to fight back!

Sang Hanshui was whispering to himself. ” This Cang Jiang Military Force would not be easy to deal with.” He was assuming that he had acquired the absolute advantage, in terms of cards and the top fighters. Even their fighting spirits were way better than the Cang Jiang Military Force. Moreover, with the death of Yan Yu, the Cang Jiang Military Force had became a group of men in a common cause without a leader. However, they were still trying to fight against the enemy with such overwhelming firepower!

They were truly the first army of the Underworld. Sang Hanshui started to get serious about the fight. Although the Wooden Word Camp’s fighters were equipped with advanced equipments and each of them was rich in experiences, however, they were only good as individual. In terms of a group, the two were not at the same level.

The Cang Jiang Military Force immediately grouped themselves together to cover each other’s back, trying to fight back.

The remaining leaders of the Cang Jiang Military Force that survived from the big explosion were mad and terrified at the same time!

What a strong firepower!

The overwhelming firepower by the enemy was beyond their expectation. Not just them, but every other card artisans from the Cang Jiang Military Force were showing a helpless look. Facing against such fierceful level of firepower, even themselves, the incredible Cang Jiang Military Force were still far from achieving it.

“Damn it ! Is this really the Wooden Word Camp?”

“What kind of shuttle was that? How could its penetration force be such powerful?” Soundwave card! So many soundwave cards! Damn it, how are these people so rich?

Soundwave cards were extremely rare and therefore, their prices were high in the market. It would take a truckload of money to acquire such amount of soundwave card!

The flames with the size of a thumb did not raise any attention from these card artisans at the very beginning. However, when someone had finally noticed there was something wrong with them, they shrieked, “Be careful everyone! There’s something wrong with this fire!”

The other card artisans immediately found the problem within. Some of them who were quick-thinker instantly respond with a pale look, “Will-o’-the-wisp! It’s will-o’-the-wisp!”

[Will-o’-the-wisp], a secret card used by the Snow Silks Worm Card Artisan Team. Its actual name was remained unclear but because of its particular characteristic, people called it [Will-o’-the-wisp]. The video from the Snow Worm Card Artisan Team was spreaded everywhere, and the terrifying and mysterious [Will-o’-the-wisp] had left a deep impression in everyone who watched it.

Snow Silks Worm Card Artisan Team!

Before the video was released, none of them would have any special response towards it. However, the Snow Silks Worm Card Artisan Team was in their prime currently and they had became a powerful force that could not be ignored!

Could it be possible that there were beefs between the Wooden Word Camp and the Snow Silks Worm Card Artisan Team? These leaders looked at each other in shock. Everything that happened within these two days were beyond their expectation!

A anonymous professional card artisan who could easily murder Yan Yu…..luxurious equipments…..incredible amount of level 7 card artisans….. All of these was somehow related to the Snow Silks Worm Card Artisans Group….

Every card artisans had changed their perspectives towards the Wooden Word Camp!

Just like a harmless toddler that turned into a giant, roaring while swinging its mane .

“Things aren’t going to work out if we stayed this way! I will lead the team to break them apart!” One of the leaders said while gnashing his teeth. He immediately turned around and made a signal to the team upon ending his words.

The other leaders were speechless because the enemy’s firepower was too powerful! With only 1,000 men, they managed to suppress the Cang Jiang Military Force and pushed them to the edge of the mountain.

Several card artisans understood the situation very well. They then started to adjust their own position subtly.

The captain shouted with his eyes full of anger, “GO!”

Over 300 melee card artisans moved together towards the enemy’s army. Although all 300 of them flew up to the sky from different positions, they could still manage to complete the adjustment of their battle formation in the mid air!

Melee card artisans were normally led by the card artisans which had outstanding performance in defense while others would follow closely behind to break the enemy’s formation.

Once the melee card artisans had narrowed down the distance, it would be a disaster for the ranged card artisans! The frequency of attack and the flexibility of their evasion would make it easier for them to eliminate the enemy’s ranged card artisans.

The leader of Team 5, Zheng Tie, was staring at the enemy’s camp closely. He had already discovered the upcoming plan when the enemies were making strange movements earlier.

He was a man with a powerful frame and he was over 2 meters in height. His skin was dark and he looked like a mountain. He was over 30 years old and he had reached his prime year. Therefore, he was one of the card artisans that managed to achieve level 7. They had the worst results among the 4 squads. However, he was the first of the five leaders to reach level 7.

And right behind him, there were over 300 card artisans floating in the air with neat formation. Unlike other card artisans, these card artisans were strong and each of them was putting up a fierceful and murderous look on their face.

“Attention everyone! Get ready to fight!”

Right at the moment when the opponent’s card artisans started to move, he shouted with his enlarged pupils, “Attack!”

All 300 card artisans started to move at the same time! All of them charged towards the enemy like a bunch of shooting stars. They straightened their bodies and formed an arrow shape while charging into the enemy. Furthermore, they casted a cone-shaped energy shields on top of each of them to protect themselves.As they increased their charging speed, the cone-shaped energy shield became thicker.

Their targets would clearly be the enemy’s melee card artisans!

Two bunch of shooting stars clashed with each other violently in the mid air!

Boom!

Cang Jiang Military Force looked at this scene in shocked. “Are they insane?”

With such incredible speed, both of them would be defeated in the sense that both would either injured or died upon clashing into each other. Our human bodies would not be able to take on such tremendous clash!

The following scene had made the Cang Jiang Military Force stunned. They could not believe what they saw.

Two teams with similar amount of card artisans clashed directly into each other. The card artisans from Cang Jiang Military Force were like eggs smashing onto the rocks. The next moment, a series of collision sound, bone cracking sound, and screams of pain were all over the sky!

Cang Jiang Military Force had suffered great losses, with countless of death and injuries! However, the enemy’s card artisans were unhurt. They left the battlefield with their bodies rocking from side to side, as if they were drunk!

There were only over 20 men left from Cang Jiang Military Force that survived from the collision in the sky. They stared at the unscathed enemies in dismay. At the moment, they had lost the last will to fight. “Are they demons? How could they manage to survive from such overwhelming collision?”

These 20 card artisans were lucky that they did not clash with the enemies when they were criss crossing each other during the collision just now !

However, right when they were astonished at the previous scene, countless of energy forms blasted onto them, turning them into sieves.

Zheng Tie shook his dizzy head and shouted, “Fall back! Everyone! We have to retreat now!” He immediately rushed backwards to his base upon finishing his command.

The collision this time had greatly impacted the fighting spirit of the Cang Jiang Military Force. High speed collision of a total of 600 card artisans was breathtaking and it had left a tremendous mentally impact to all of card artisans.

The enemy did not lose a single man, but the Cang Jiang Military Force had almost lost every card artisans. This result had made each and every card artisans from the Cang Jiang Military Force felt despair and helpless. What terrified them the most was they had no idea how could the enemy card artisans survive from such collision.

Cards numbered 034 in the numbered series was called [Crash of Dingbirds]! Chen Mu was inspired by the greek birds when he was designing the card. The card could form a cone-shaped energy shield above the head of the card artisans when he was travelling in high speed. This cone-shaped energy shield not only could protect the card artisan, but it could also act as a powerful weapon.

The faster the travelling speed, the stronger the structure of the energy shield would become!

Chen Mu had also invented a jet stream card, [Arrow], which could allow the user to travel in extreme speed for a short distance. Its speed would be faster than any of the jet stream card Chen Mu had ever seen.

With the assistance by [Arrow], [Crash of Dingbirds] had turned into a sharp pointed cone-shape energy shield, which was much more harder. Moreover, they would also create an air cushion between the card artisan and the energy shield, which was able to absorb the shock released from the collision.

Even so, [Crash of Dingbirds] could only be used by card artisans with extremely strong physique. Chen Mu had even provide Team Five a special additional physical training program.

Even though the card artisans were as strong as Team Five, they could only charge once! Their bodies would not be able to undergo a second charge. Although they could only launch one single charge, however, none of them were ignoring the combat power of Team 5.

“Boss. Is there any chance for us to attack?” One of the card artisans from the first team rubbed his hands anxiously while asking the question.

Rafael showed a level of maturity which was not in par with her age in response to his question.

She shook her head and said, “I don’t think we could do that this time.”

He looked at the battlefield with his full attention. Eventually, he realised that the enemy’s firepower went stronger all of a sudden and it had allowed him to notice the enemy’s dilemma. The enemy was already at their tipping point of accepting their failure. That was their final blow before the death!

The insane firepower were causing continuous casualties in the Wooden Word Camp. However, all of them could understood that the results had been decided. Sang Hanshui immediately ordered some card artisans to engage from behind and to surround them all at once.

Although they did arrange plenty of people for ambush, however, Sang Hanshui felt that it was not enough. If the enemies started to split up, we would not be able to stop them with that amount of manpower.
