Lucy's name had grayed out on the list, and only 704 candidates remained to continue the battle, but it didn't take long for another group of people to fall.
[ ===== ]
In the conference room of Oakleaf School, everyone looked at the projection on Bailey's planet.
It was somewhat helpless. Bailey relied on the strong defensive power of the Treant to confront the Corruptor, while the Blessed Order could hide in the Treant, thus being safe and sound.
"Let's see Sebastian's." The projection displayed the situation on Sebastian's planet.
[ ===== ]
The Astra Militarum was in full swing. They were firing desperately because too many Corruptors were in the sky. Elizabeth also ordered the support team to join, bringing the number to 13,000 Rifles.
The Astra Militarum also used the Burning technique, barrel after barrel of kerosene was thrown to the ground, especially in the big pit hole that was created with Crimson Blood. It was full of kerosene at this point.
After a few Shells hit it, it burned swiftly. A blazing fire temporarily stopped the army of Ravagers that were rushing over.
These Zergs were crazy. Even in the face of fire, they still rushed bravely and they burned. With the sound of crackling, countless Ravagers turned into ashes. In the air, there was a strong burning smell.
There were still too many Corruptors in the sky, Rifles simply could not effectively form a fully airtight line of defense, so there were quite a few Corruptors that slipped through. Even after being shot, they still quickly rushed towards the wall.
"Flamethrower-!" Cross immediately shouted.
The Guardsmen who had been waiting immediately fired their flamethrower. It was a massive fire-breathing device being used against aerial creatures like Corruptor.
HOO-!, HOO-!, HOO-!, HOO...
A large row of flame spewed out and it covered the area outside the walls.
The Corruptor wings were directly submerged by the flames. Followed by, each one of them fell at the foot of the wall. With these Flamethrowers, even if a Corruptor came close to the walls, it was burnt to death.
[ ===== ]
Looking at the fire-breathing gun that suddenly came out of nowhere, the people from the Oakleaf School were slightly relieved.
"These Soldiers created by Sebastian is peculiar. They are not only numerous but also have such destructive devices." An administrator finally showed a smile on his face.
"And that powerful Artillery, there are quite a few of them." Another teacher picked up, "I heard it was done by an Artilleryman."
As Sebastian was now temporarily ranked first, the specific situation of Sebastian's Civilization was also noticed by all parties. At this time, not many would believe that Sebastian built an Ordinary Civilization. All of them thought that it was a whole new Supernatural Civilization.
"With these weapons, in the 5th hour, Sebastian should be stable," Steiner said with a sigh of relief.
"There are now nearly 700+ remaining candidates, including nearly 100 of the top students from various cities." Nelissen said, "That means if he wants to get into a Super-Tier Academy, he needs to strive for the top 600."
"Let's hope so."
[ ===== ]
In the last 10 minutes of the 5th hour, the Corruptors were strengthened again, but they still could not break through the double defense of Firearms and Flamethrowers.
Time passed by, and the 7th hour arrived. At this time, there were only about 650 people left in the entire battle. The one ranked at the top was still Sebastian and so far, he got all the points he could get.
From the passage, a new batch of bugs appeared. Surprisingly, they were also flying Zergs. Unlike previous flying Zergs, these looked like bee species. On their tail, there was a long and sharp tail thorn.
"These Mutalisks can deal long-range damage. This round might be hard for Sebastian." Seeing these Mutalisks, in the City Hall, the big shots were shaking their heads.
The focus of attention here is the only two remaining candidates of their city, Sebastian and Bailey.
Bailey had Treant who was very resistant to beatings, so there was no problem for now.
Sebastian was the focus of attention, especially now that he only needed to hold up a little longer than 50 more candidates. It would secure a place in a Super-Tier Academy.
This way, they would get two places in Super-Tier Academies this year and it would be a new record.
[ ===== ]
On the battlefield, these Mutalisks were separated by hundreds of meters.
WHOOSH-!, WHOOSH-!, WHOOSH-!, WHOOSH...
They were launching the spike from their tails straight at the Astra Militarum on the walls.
There was no need for Cross to order, the Guardsmen had placed their shields beside their heads.
DING-!, DING-!, DING-!, DING...
These tail spikes landed on top of the shield and a loud sound rang out. Hearing these intense sounds, everyone knew that the attack of these tail spines was not small.
After the first shooting round, marks appeared on the top side. That was just the first round and there would be more and more Mutalisks later. It also meant that the tail thorn attack that the Astra Militarum would face was going to get more and more alarming.
"All Snipers, get up and shoot down these Mutalisks," Cross ordered immediately.
There were 1,000 Snipers in the Astra Militarum and 2,000 were half-trained. But at this time, they could only use all of them.
"These Mutalisks will pause in place when shooting at long range, so that is the best time to snipe." A Scientist analyzed by the side.
And it was indeed true. With such large bodies, plus being in the air only 700 or 800 meters away, it was easy for the snipers to deal with them.
BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG-!, BANG...
They fired and hit these Mutalisks straight on. With almost 100% accuracy, each of the Mutalisks fell from the sky.
Compared to Zergs on the ground, flying Zergs, although they could fly, had weaknesses that were also obvious, they lacked thick armor. Otherwise, it would have been a major headache.
[ ===== ]
"Hmm? Sebastian's Soldiers have this kind of tactic. These seem...to be no ordinary weapon?"
It was quite a sight to see as many widened their eyes. Previously, during the scene where Sebastian fights the Cultivator, a lot of people didn't notice.
"Indeed, it is not an ordinary weapon," Another planet master nodded and pointed to the projection. "These are even bigger, have a different shape, and they seem...to be more accurate. Their range is also longer."
An old man next to the Mayor added, "Ordinary weapons only have a range of about 600 meters, while this special weapon can reach over 1,000 meters."
"This should be the Elite of the Soldiers, so they gained an Elite Weapon."
With a glance, they could see the characteristics of Sebastian's Soldiers. But Sebastian used the traditional characteristics of Supernatural civilization to cover it, what they thought was a Soldier with an Elite Weapon was a Sniper.
[ ===== ]
"Sebastian has these Elite Soldiers hidden." The people in Oakleaf School were visibly more excited.
"This hour should be easy for him," A teacher said, a little nervous but also expectant.
"It's hard to say," Steiner shook his head as he did not dare to get too optimistic. In previous years, those who were overconfident were disappointed.
[ ===== ]
Although there were many Mutalisks in the air, only a few hundred could attack at a time due to needing space to launch their tail spikes. The rest had to wait, giving the Astra Militarum's Snipers an excellent opportunity to strike.
Plus, with shields blocking them, the Mutalisk seemed very challenging at first, but later, they became just live targets.
Seeing this, Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a little nervous watching this endless wave mode as each new round of Zergs was tougher. In addition, he hoped that the Astra Militarum would have no losses. This was also the inner expectation of every planet master.
Every ten minutes was just as challenging as the previous ones. Flying Zergs, Mutalisk, and advanced Zergs, Ravager, on the ground, grew stronger, but they still posed no threat to the Astra Militarum.
After every 10 minutes, more students would be eliminated. The air attack was a nightmare for other candidates, especially the Mutalisk attacks. While it could be blocked from the front, from the back, they could only take the hits. Most candidates didn't have the long-range striking capability of the Astra Militarum.
When the 6th ten minutes passed, Sebastian took a look at the leaderboard. There were only 550 candidates left.
In this hour, nearly 100 candidates were eliminated, so far, the 1,080 Super-Tier Academy slots have been set.
[ ===== ]
On the City side, Sebastian and Bailey each secured a place and this was the best result in their history.
"Congratulations..."
"Congratulations to the Mayor," They cheered in the City Hall.
"Sebastian and Bailey have achieved great merit, so the Mayor wants to reward them," An old man beside the Mayor said with a smile.
"A reward? That's for sure," The Mayor was also very pleased, a smile never leaving his face. This was a rare moment in his life.
[ ===== ]
Meanwhile, in the Conference Room of Oakleaf School, the excitement soared when they saw that Sebastian had secured a place in a Super-Tier Academy. In Oakleaf School history, he would be the first student to achieve such a place, forever engraved in its legacy.
Principal Merlin and Steiner hugged each other, tears in their eyes. Merlin was a few years away from retirement, so witnessing this scene was deeply emotional for him.
After a brief celebration, the crowd quieted down to keep watching Sebastian and Bailey's planets. For them now, any other geniuses and rivals weren't important. One thought dominated their minds: "Could they win the overall top position in the State exam?"
