Buzz! A piercing scream rang out, accompanied by flashing red lights, causing the O'Neill family's camp to erupt in chaos! The sound and the red light signified something unmistakable to the seasoned veterans in the camp – an enemy attack!
It must be acknowledged that the Divine Race members' understanding of the magic circle is vastly inferior to that of the people from the Atlantis Continent. In fact, their comprehension of the magic circle is even less than that of the otherworldly divine race, making it highly unlikely for them to discover the magical alarms set up by the O'Neill family.
The four elders of the otherworldly divine race managed to get within a kilometer of the rift defense line, which was already a miracle. If it weren't for their exceptional perception of energy, they would have been discovered long ago.
As soon as the four elders heard the sound, they realized they had been detected. They didn't bother hiding their movements; their figures shot into the air as they donned their battle suits and flew towards the O'Neill family's defense line at breakneck speed.
Just as they took off, several energy beams suddenly shot out from the front lines of the O'Neill family camp, followed by more and more energy blasts directed at them.
The four elders quickly activated their energy shields. Ignoring the energy beams, they continued their charge into the camp.
At that moment, fifty mechas suddenly burst out from the O'Neill family's camp, flying swiftly towards the four elders. Simultaneously, all the searchlights in the camp turned towards their direction, exposing the figures of the four elders in midair.
Suddenly, countless arrows shot out from the darkness, targeting not the mechas but the lights in the camp. With several loud bangs, the searchlights were destroyed, plunging the surroundings into darkness once again, allowing the four elders to vanish from sight.
This unexpected turn of events stunned the O'Neill family members in the camp, but being seasoned warriors, they quickly reacted. The O'Neill family members immediately raised their energy shields, surprising the attacking otherworldly divine race members, who had never seen such shields before.
The white energy shield resembled a massive semicircle and appeared ordinary at first glance. However, once activated, it shone brightly like a giant light bulb.
The otherworldly divine race members had never encountered such a phenomenon; a glowing energy shield? This was unprecedented!
What they didn't understand was that a glowing energy shield isn't particularly extraordinary. The Mecha Continent, where the O'Neill family resided, had battled against the Warrior Continent and the Magic Continent for countless years. They had gained a wealth of experience in countering attacks from warriors and were well aware of their weaknesses, constantly seeking ways to improve.
As the orc elder had mentioned, the O'Neill family's mechas were not suited for night battles. At night, visibility decreased significantly, greatly affecting their combat effectiveness. In such conditions, what if the enemy launched a night raid? Initially, they only used searchlights, but after suffering several losses, they began to consider other solutions. Eventually, a magic circle research team invented the glowing shield. Essentially, it was just an ordinary defensive magic circle with some minor adjustments and the addition of a powerful fluorescent formation, resulting in this effect. However, activating the magic circle significantly increased energy consumption.
Nonetheless, this discovery allowed the Mecha Continent's night combat capabilities to reach a qualitative leap. Those mechas, once weak in night battles, could now defend their camp without any issues, even if their offensive capabilities were still lacking.
The situation along the rift defense line was just like that. At the moment the defensive magic circle illuminated the area, the mechas regained their agility and formed ranks to engage with the four elders.
