Section 192 Seizure by force8
ββ¦β¦ It was a complete accident...... I'm so sorry!" said the young man in the lead, apologetically. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info"They're testing their defenses against the air, and it's really a surprise that no one can foresee if a stray bullet hits your airship. β
This sounds like a very normal explanation.
Lu Wu turned his head to look behind, where a group of workers were busy around the airship like ants. This kind of airship is not a rare cargo, but a typical road cargo. As we all know, all mass-produced things have a common advantage, that is, the method of repair, as well as the production of spare parts, will be popular. That is, at least not a problem in terms of repairs.
The only trouble is time.
For a while, Lu Wu saw that the airship was levitating about one person high, and it seemed to have returned to normal. But alas, it can only levitate to this height. Not long ago, a repairman apologized that it would be ineffective to fix it casually - its anti-gravity engine, the core and most critical part of the airship, had been pierced by a stray bullet, and the entire engine was in a state of leakage. This means that it is now fully operational, and can only float to the height of about a person. Lu Wu didn't care about it for the time being, Yin obviously couldn't accept this result. But in order to restore its normal function, its engine, that is, the engine, must be taken apart and repaired. And if you want to disassemble the engine, you must first disassemble half of the airship. In short, this job can't be done in a day or two.
A reasonable solution would be to leave things here for repairs and go back first. But unfortunately, Lu Wu did not have a second means of transportation in his hands. And the perpetrator - he called himself Luo Jia - although he repeatedly said that he would be responsible, he could not provide a reliable means of transportation to Lu Wu.
Vehicles are too dangerous, though. Well, because the world has easily available anti-gravity equipment, the saying "if you want to be rich, build more roads" is obviously out of place. In fact, as far as Lu Wu can see, the road system of this world is lackluster, at least compared to China on the earth, it can be described as one heaven and one underground. Adapting to the road system of this world, the vehicles of this world also emphasize off-roading and downplay speed. This means that it is only half a day for Lu Wu to come here by airship, but if he wants to go back by car, it will take at least three or five days.
And these three to five days are not driving on safe and convenient roads, but through vast wilderness. What if something happens in these places...... For example, those things that will make Lu Wu never go back, then no one can guarantee it. The air superiority is so obvious - if the Flare Clan wants to retaliate, then they have plenty of time to get the information, verify the information, and then drive the aircraft in the wilderness to find the slow Lu Wu. It's a giveaway.
So Lu Wu chose the second reasonable solution.
After a short while, he walked to a house.
It's a house, but it's the one without a foundation -- it's an RV by Earth's standards. The base camp itself is made up of various temporary buildings, and the RV is naturally one of them. However, it is clear that the caravans are intended for officers or visitors, and ordinary soldiers live in makeshift barracks in worse conditions.
"I'm sorry," Luo Jia said. Lu Wu had to admit that this was a warm and cheerful young man who seemed to be very generous, and he was easy to like. In particular, his attitude of repeatedly saying that he would be responsible for this accident to the end really won Lu Wu's favor. You know, although he is indeed responsible for this matter, he can actually kick this problem away like a ball. "It's not a great place to stay, but it's the best place I could find. β
It's not a big place to stay, but if it's standard, it's probably up to the level of those small and medium-sized hotels in China that claim to be "quasi-three-star". Although it is not luxurious, but with this world standard and Lu Wu's own living grade, there is nothing to regret here.
Next, it is to spend five days doing nothing, patiently waiting for the airship to be repaired - Lu Wu suspects that Yin will be furious, and then tries to increase the cost of repairs. But now Lu Wu is not afraid of this. What happened today was like a gold ingot falling from the sky hitting his head, and Lu Wu was still unconsciously happy, so much so that he didn't care about this little accident that happened laterβnot to mention that even the little accident itself allowed him to make a kind, generous and enthusiastic new friend.
Lu Wu walked into his room, took a closer look, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong here, the first thing he did was to contact Ivan and tell him what was happening at the moment to confirm the news.
A few minutes later, Ivan brought surprise news. The biggest trouble, that is, the price of ore, is gone. The public trade network suddenly changed a contact person, and the other party said that the price did not need to be negotiated, and that it could be done according to the old rules - unless Lu Wu wanted to raise the price.
Not only that, but Ivan then came with the news, and several other minor troubles were all gone. It's as if in an instant, all the problems are gone together, and there is no intention of staying.
Lu Wu was excited, picked up the terminal, and wanted to tell Amber about his own affairs and share this happiness with Amber. But the moment he took out the terminal, the master suddenly spoke.
"Partner, the situation seems to be a bit unexpected. β
"What's wrong?"
"In this place, there are several newsletters that mention you. The master said slowly. "I don't think that's a good thing. β
"What do you say in the communication?" Lu Wu felt that the master was a little fussed.
"The communication is full of codes, "If the master has a hand, he will definitely spread his hand and make a helpless gesture." "I can crack the code, but I can't read the code. Lack of intelligence, no way to analyze. β
"What about this...... What does that mean?"
"Oh, partner, don't think it's going too well. According to the saying on Earth, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon......" said the master. "Don't you think things are a little weird?"
Lu Wu didn't think anything was weird at all, except for the huge pie that fell from the sky - the regular army was actually willing to pay for the repair of the floating fortress for him. On top of that, these people spend money on stocks but don't need equity. It was an incredible thing, but when he thought about it slowly, especially when he put together everything he had seen at the meeting he had attended with the Colonel, it became explainable.
The top of the camp came, and the regular army wanted to take credit with their achievements. But at the moment, the military strength of the Huiyue camp in the Banshee Gate is simply lackluster. While it is known that the main force of Kecha Goat is fighting the Stygian Moon, even so, launching an offensive against Kecha Goat would be a risky gamble. The technology that Kecha Goyat has is amazing. So, if you want to make your chances of success a little higher, the best thing to do is to play the Floating Fortress.
The question is...... Due to the amazing abilities shown by Kecha Goat before, here in the Banshee Gate, there is no floating fortress for the Hui Yue. Almost all of the Floating Fortresses scheduled for the Banshee Gate Battle (if there were to be one) were modified as necessary, while the rest of the Floating Fortresses were off-limits to the area.
If the Floating Fortress is knocked down after a strong battle, it will be fine, and if it is knocked down like a bird, even the upper echelons of Huiyue will be in pain.
Therefore, the one that Lu Wu is repairing now has become the only hope. The regulars can't wait to get it repaired and then go into battle.
The above is the logical reasoning carried out by Lu Wu - at least on the surface, it is completely plausible, and there is no contradiction.
"Partner, your explanation is correct. The master said. "But now, there's one thing you have to remember...... We are alone, in an unknown environment, where danger is always in place. Also, remember what the colonel said. β
The colonel clearly said that Lu Wu would not be able to leave.
Although it is true that now as the colonel said, Lu Wu will not be able to leave for a while. But this was clearly an accident. Luo Jia's polite attitude didn't look like a deliberate conspiracy no matter how you looked at it. As mentioned earlier, in the current situation, in fact, Luo Jia can apologize lightly, and there is no need to be enthusiastic about repairing and living for Lu Wuzhang like now.
"What do you mean...... There are assassins here?"
"Tell Amber to come over. The master said very resolutely. "It's a step late, but it should be in time. During this time, we stayed in the room and did not go out. Partner, if we're bored, we can study that video. β
"What video?"
"That's what you just saw. The master said. "I copied it into the terminal. β
Lu Wu subconsciously took out the terminal and immediately found the master's things. When he followed Colonel Doyle in, he had missed the beginning. Now this unseen beginning was right before his eyes.
Kecha Goat's troops were rushing into battle, and in the blink of an eye, they were suddenly jumping into the battlefield from the ground, from the grass, or from nothingness. I can't tell how they came here. But in front of the original defense line set up by the Stygian Moon, the destroyer and their name are exactly the opposite, the destroyed side. The problem is that Kecha Goats don't care about losses, and the creatures don't seem to have any idea of retreating. They were sent into battle like grit, like a tide, like anything so numerous that no amount of loss would make a heartache. It turned out to be worth it. After surviving the initial heavy losses, the Destroyer's energy shield suddenly increased qualitatively, and then, things went to the rhythm of Kecha Goat.
It's a very grand and very brutal scene, and it makes people understand that the combat power of these creatures is incomparable to that of humans.
Lu Wu pushed the video to the end, and in the face of the tide of the Destroyer, the Stygian soldiers, both warlocks and non-warlocks, showed great wavering. Although even in the end they still had the advantage of numbers, it was clear that the courage of the human beings was no match for the Destroyer. There is no suspense about this victory. On the edge of the battle, hordes of humans have given up resistance and made gestures of surrender.
"Really...... "Awesome ......" Although it is the second time to watch it, this impact still makes people gasp. It's not easy to fight this creature. The Destroyers are unintelligent war machines, but they have shown great intelligence when it comes to wielding a variety of weapons (not their scythes). As the Radiant Moon faction has learned so far through biological dissection, this artificial creature is extremely intelligent and cannot be simply regarded as a machine or a beast.
"Not necessarily, it's just the difference between the primary species and the secondary species. The master said disappreciatively.
"Primary and secondary species?"
"Well, you humans, you can be called the native species, evolved from nature. The Destroyer, on the other hand, is a secondary species, created by another intelligent being. The master said. Of course, this is only the most superficial distinction. The real difference between the two is that the meaning of existence is different. The primary species is always confused, while the secondary species is always chasing...... It's impossible for the two to understand each other. β
