"No, not at all. Although he is a veteran expert in the maintenance of floating fortresses, there is nothing special about it. Without mastering any particular new technology, it is certainly impossible to have access to some crucial and critical intelligence. In fact, his own expertise is not in academic research and research and development of new floating fortresses, but really just a simple construction and maintenance technician. ”

So, who is the old woman here for?

She was so agitated that she wanted to bite her nails. The old woman has always been targeted, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing. It would be understandable if she sensed that something was wrong with the Flare family and came over to deal with the situation (and then encountered it by chance). After all, accidents are always inevitable. But why did she come to the Floating Fortress? And, most importantly, she actually named herself to meet her.

You don't need to let yourself go if you want to see someone for the purpose of coming to the Floating Fortress, right? no matter who it is, Lu Wu, the Red Cloth, or some other creep, the old woman can see as many people as she wants, and it is impossible for any of them to stand against the power of an archon.

I couldn't figure out what the old woman was trying to do, but the more I couldn't figure it out, the more panicked I felt. Damn, it looks like it's got involved in some real conspiracy.

"Turn the terminal off. Said the imposter female scholar. Of course, she didn't mean the kind of ordinary shutdown, but the complete shutdown of the entire energy system. lest the old woman take advantage of her authority to suddenly pop out of the terminal.

"Ma'am...... I don't understand......"

"Anyway, I don't know what the old woman is going to do dangerously, but she is likely to pull me to be a strong man. Butterfly Meng explained softly. Hey, she really just came to investigate the cause of the bald head's death, to find out who pretended to be her to kill people, and left that accusation.

On top of that, although she was confident in her strength, it was definitely not an easy thing to get the old woman to go out and command from the rear remotely. Many ordinary people may think that a warlock is omnipotent, but those who are truly powerful understand that no matter what, in terms of an individual, a warlock's power is limited.

It is said that the Stygian Moon has mobilized many high-level warlocks into the battlefield before, wanting to create local advantages and form a breakthrough. However, the results of actual combat show that this approach has little effect. Kecha Goatt used long-range firepower to cut off the connection between the warlocks who formed the breakthrough and the rear, and in the end, the destroyer used a tenfold and hundredfold numerical advantage to deplete the power of those high-level warlocks. The Destroyer is not afraid of death, and with the anti-demon armor, even the mighty warlock can only be overwhelmed by the Destroyer in the end.

What if the old woman was going to go to the front line of the confrontation with Kecha Goat...... There's a great chance that she'll be pulled up as a stand-in, cannon fodder, or cover for a broken back. That's dangerous. It's not okay not to go, but if you go, even if it's her, there is a chance that she won't be able to return safely.

She's not one of those warlocks who is good for nothing but power. Her true value lies in her mind...... It's not a chess piece that can be casually thrown into the battlefield to listen to a loud sound.

"From now on, it can't be allowed to start anymore. ”

"So what about tomorrow...... The Archons will ......"

"Isn't it just right? I'll be there tomorrow, but I'm going all out to hunt down the Stygian Rangers! I'm there, but I don't meet the old woman...... You can't blame me for that, right?"

……

As the name suggests, a floating fortress is a fortress capable of flying. It is not only a weapon of attack, but also a large enough transport vehicle to be able to send a huge number of troops to distant enemy positions in a short period of time. In the face of this kind of flying fortress, linear defense is almost meaningless, and even a composite defense line in large depth will be easily hit by targeted, surgical strikes.

Therefore, when the formation of a floating fortress is defeated or even shot down, the fortresses, strongholds and ramparts on the ground and their garrison troops are completely in a state of passive attack. The purpose of their existence is not so much to fight, but to delay the enemy and buy time for us to gather forces.

From the very beginning of the design of the Floating Fortress as a war machine, it was clear that it had to face an unavoidable problem: how to resist the infiltration and sneak attacks of enemy warlocks. It cannot be said that this problem has been completely solved, but at least it can be said that it has been solved to a large extent. Various monitoring systems, various detection mechanisms and, of course, various internal defense systems. If a single warlock wants to invade a floating fortress, he must either have specific conditions, and the time and place are lucky, and all of them are indispensable, or he will find his own death.

At least for now, it seems that there is such an opportunity.

Looking through the porthole, one could clearly feel that the huge war beast had completely fallen silent. It was now suspended in mid-air, but beyond that proof that it was not scrapped and still functioning, the entire Floating Fortress seemed lifeless, with not even a trace of vitality or life to be seen. Like a dead beast of the wilderness - complete in appearance, lifeless inside.

"Your Majesty, the outer entrance and exit of the Floating Fortress have been closed!" the pilot, her temporary attendant, had already circled the aerial beast three times in the airship. As long as the opponent's observation system can still exert one percent of the effect, the aircraft outside has already been discovered at this time. Compared to the floating fortress, the size of the airship is similar to the grade of small flying insects such as mosquitoes and flies, and the problem is that even if it is a small flying insect, you can notice it after flying around you three times. "Whether it is cryptographic communication or Mingdian communication, the other party ignores it. I suspect they were premeditated!"

He was very nervous. The situation was completely beyond his expectations. Not to mention, at least logically, it's an opportunity right now. The main cannon of the Floating Fortress...... No, there is no need to bother, the secondary gun is enough. All it takes is a single shot from the secondary cannon to instantly evaporate the defenseless airship from this world, along with the personnel inside.

The Warlock's power is strong, but if it's from the cannon fire of the Floating Fortress...... No matter how powerful it is, it can't stop that kind of thing, right? Tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of high temperatures can evaporate everything in an instant.

"No reaction at all?" the old woman did not show any nervousness, and spoke at a normal pace, that is, a little slower than the average person.

"No response at all. Your Majesty, this airship is not a combat unit and does not have sensors, so there is no way to know if the Floating Fortress is charging weapons. I advise you to leave immediately. ”

"Don't worry, there's no need to be suspicious. The old woman looked through the porthole of the airship at the massive machinery floating in the air in front of her. "If you want to kill me, you don't have to wait so long, you can do it a long time ago, right?"

"But ......"

"Don't worry, there's one of my wonderful students in there. The old woman chuckled. "I'm a timid and sensitive stupid kid, but it's completely impossible to say that I indulge others to kill me. ”

"But, Your Majesty, they have no reaction. Main channel, backup channel, material transportation channel...... All entrances and exits are covered with layers of armor. Not to mention the entrance to the aircraft, even the entrance and exit of the personnel. I suspect something must have happened on the Floating Fortress. If there is an accident such as a rebellion, I recommend you ......"

"There," the old woman ordered, "the tip part." ”

Although confused, the retinue obeyed the order. After half a circle, the side of the porthole is already the tip part.

"This is ......" the attendant was a little surprised. He also knew the basic pattern of the Floating Fortress. There was no passage in and out of this place at all, but in front of him, why did this place have an opening like a passageway?

"I've heard of it before...... Sure enough. This time the old woman explained. "I heard that in the event of a major injury, there is a walkway without an opening to make it easier for maintenance personnel to check whether the basic core structure inside the Floating Fortress is damaged...... A narrow passage that can only be passed by one person. ”

"But ......"

"Normally it's closed, covered with armor, and it's completely invisible. But when the Floating Fortress is overhauled, maintenance crews will use tools here to forcibly open the outer armor, thus revealing the passageway...... It seems that these maintenance personnel are also quite qualified, so before starting the repair, they should check the condition and details of the entire floating fortress. Rest assured, when all the repairs are completed, the passage will be resealed......"

"Would you like to get in from here?"

That's what it means. The old woman said. "Open the door. ”

Aircraft that use the anti-gravity principle have the advantage of being able to stop in the air effortlessly and very stably. The airship's door was opened.

The old woman stepped gently into the void ahead. The invisible force held her body and left her suspended in the air like an airship.

"Your mission is over, you can go back to the base camp. ”

"You want to go in alone?" the attendant was shocked. "But ......"

Although he didn't know what was going on, he instinctively felt that it was evil. What the hell is going on? Why is the Archon here?

"yes, I suddenly remembered this...... I came to attend the completion ceremony, but I wasn't invited. It is indeed appropriate for uninvited guests to take a hidden passage that is not in the plan. The old woman smiled. "Go back. There's nothing to do with you anymore. ”

"You...... You...... Aren't you going back?" the attendant finally realized that something was wrong.

"Ah, if I could go back...... It will be many days later, and it is not appropriate for you to wait. The old woman said as she approached the entrance of the passageway. From this location, it looks like the perimeter of this entrance is very rough, with steel spikes everywhere. At first glance, you can tell that it was forcibly disassembled. "What if...... If you can go back. ”
