Section 163 Transposition of the king's chariot 26
The head of the exoskeleton turned to the sky - by this time it was about three-quarters of the way through the night, maybe a little more. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe night is still dark, the fighting of the whole city seems to be over, and the exoskeleton armor that used to lie on the ground and burn has been extinguished one by one.
The final battle did not happen at all. Or that what happened can't be called a battle at all. When those powerful weapons suddenly turned to waste, Grumas's carefully built bunker instantly became a cage for him and his henchmen.
One of his last and most powerful cards, Warlock, is dead. Right next to Han, right at his feet. There is no suspense in this battle.
Grumas should have escaped from the tunnel, right? Lu Wu should be able to chase after him, whether he can catch up or not is another question. For him, though, it's all over here. Now, as he just said, he's leaving. Like a small soldier, inconspicuous, quietly leaving. The glory of this battle has nothing to do with him. His war had only just begun. There is still a long way to go.
The Iron Giant, who had just finished a kill, suddenly turned his head and knelt heavily in a certain direction.
"Great Kecha Goat, God of Light, Slayer of Palms!" the machine giant's loudspeaker sounded in a low, but pious voice. "May you break the darkness of this eternal night with the morning sun!
At this moment, he prayed devoutly. Then, he clearly felt the coming of the will in the dark. It was as if somewhere in the endless firmament, a pair of eyes were looking this way. Everything is hidden under this gaze. And with this unknown gaze, there is a heterogeneous force. That power doesn't come from nowhere, but it's real. That power washed over him, soothed him, and made him understand that God was pleased with what he had done. At this moment, he had an understanding that perhaps only such a god, such a great being with infinite knowledge and wisdom, could break through the dark iron curtain that had shrouded this world for thousands of years.
“…… Praise be to you, you are the last salvation ...... in this world"
……
Grumas came out of the ground in a grizzled manner.
Although he ordered the tunnel to be dug, to be honest, Grumas really didn't expect to use it one day. In fact, it was not so much because he was cautious and careful that he dug the tunnel, but because he was bored.
The tunnel has not been reinforced, sanded, cleaned or anything like that. So when a man in a robe walks a short way from it, he becomes what Grumas is now: a gray face, needless to say, with his eyebrows and hair covered in dirt. As for the body, it is even dirtier than that of a beggar.
As soon as he crawled out of the tunnel, Grumas gulped several times in quick succession, spitting out the dirt that had inadvertently fallen into his mouth. Damn, if he was given a second option, he really wouldn't have climbed the tunnels.
It's a pity that the world has electromagnetic cannons that are so sharp that aerial vehicles have become synonymous with "unsafe". The direct result of a slow vehicle becomes a target, and the rapid aircraft is meaningless due to the presence of a floating fortress.
This is the outermost part of the city of Nice.
It must be said that although Grumas is not interested in the escape tunnel, he chooses the exit of the tunnel very cleverly. This is not only the edge of the city of Nice, but also the main point of its defense, or rather, a fully automatic point of fire.
A large electromagnetic turret towers over here. This weapon, though no different in power from its smaller counterpart, has a rate of fire that is two notches higher, and can rain down bullets of destruction like a storm on an attacking enemy. It was this point of fire that formed the key to the outer defensive line of Ciudad de Nice.
At this moment, this powerful war machine has been activated. It no longer relies on a remote control, but on inherent software operation. Now it will fire at all moving objects that come into range. If an exoskeleton armor intrudes into its control, it doesn't take even a second for this unfortunate creature to turn into. It is this situation that makes the key to this battle a tough battle for a limited number of "safe passages".
However, even such a powerful weapon could not attack Grummas. The ruler was short and long, just as a rifle on Earth could not be used to attack an enemy close to him, and even if its sensors were aware of Grummas's presence, he would not be able to attack the target on the edge of his pedestal. On the contrary, if someone chases after them from the outside, they will definitely be included in its attack range at this time.
In the tunnel, several more people came out one after another. These are Grumas's henchmen.
"Your Excellency, they won't be chasing you. The last person to come out reported to Grummas.
This sentence put Grumas at ease. This is a common facility in an escape tunnel - there is a self-destruct device in the middle. Once someone activates, it will blow up the tunnels and stop the pursuers.
Now, he could take a look at his current situation. The previous defeat was too quick and too sudden, and by the time he realized that Lu Wu had already made targeted preparations, that is, to send spies to manipulate the electromagnetic turret in his inventory, it was already too late. Lu Wu's troops rushed in from the main gate in just one moment, and Grumas just had time to escape into the tunnel with a few people around him.
Now, there are six more people left. The rest, all his subordinates, all the guards, either couldn't move anymore or became Lu Wu's prisoners. Of course, it's possible that it's still hidden somewhere in the city, but that doesn't matter anymore.
Sure enough, he still underestimated the enemy.
Grumas angrily activated his terminal again, but as he had tried many times before, the other party shut down.
"Damn!" he cursed, but this time he didn't smash the terminal.
"Master Grumas," one of his men said, perhaps trying to reassure him. "It's almost dawn. ”
Grumas looked up, and indeed, although it was still night, the dawn was not far away. He turned his head to look into the distance, the makeshift fortress he had built—the one still brightly lit and conspicuous in the silenced battlefield.
Lu Wu's subordinates should still be gathered over there. This is also normal, the city of Nice is too big, and Lu Wu's forces are limited, in such darkness, it is completely impossible to pursue Grumas, not to mention the tunnel itself specially dug a turn. If you follow the direction of the entrance, you will definitely be lost.
If Lu Wu had a chance to catch up along the tunnel, then this possibility does not exist now - the tunnel has been blasted and collapsed, and there is no way to chase it.
This sentence made Grumas's embarrassed face show a fierce smile.
Yes, maybe Lu Wu won, but he didn't lose. It's about to dawn. Even if Yuta's unreliable guy didn't make it back, he had reinforcements.
Before dawn, Lu Wu's military strength was stronger than him - this was set by him from the beginning, and even if he lost, it was normal. But after dawn, things are completely reversed.
After a while, it will be his turn to attack, and Lu Wu will defend. He knew very well how strong his troops were, and this time, no matter how he fought, Lu Wu would not be able to win.
As for the night that had just passed, the unnecessary losses caused by his errors in judgment and command were quietly forgotten in his mind. It's a very normal human mentality -- it's to ignore one's own mistakes. It must be said that this subordinate made a very good shot, which directly made Grumas struggle out of the loser's mentality just now, find the side that was beneficial to him, and restore his initial confidence.
"Lu Wu, we'll see you again soon!" Grumas sneered, reaching out a threatening fist at the brightly lit building in the distance.
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble. The sound of an electronic horn suddenly sounded, startling Grumas.
One by one, the lights come on, which are the ones that come with most exoskeleton armor. All around was as bright as day. At this moment, Grumas realized that there were so many enemies lurking in the darkness around him.
"How could it be......" he looked at these enemies who shouldn't have been. The tunnels have been blown up. How did Lu Wu chase him here? In order not to be judged by others, he even deliberately did not choose a straight line when digging the tunnel, but turned a 90-degree bend to the letter.
And, why is this large electromagnetic turret unresponsive? Isn't it supposed to shoot at all moving objects within its range, according to its software?
Is it a malfunction? or ...... From the very beginning, this place has been sabotaged by spies?No, it should be said that this secret tunnel has been known to Lu Wu?
Surrounded by a full half circle of steel giants, the lights shone on the steel, reflecting a cold and cold reflection.
Grumas clearly felt that his legs seemed to have lost the strength to support his body. If it weren't for his clothes, it is estimated that everyone would have noticed that his legs were shaking.
"We meet again. The voice in the electric horn sounded again, and Grumas could already hear it, it was Lu Wu's voice.
While almost everyone's attention was focused on Grummas, almost no one saw how one of Grummas's men took those things out of his body. But by the time they noticed it, more than a dozen smoke bombs that were spewing thick smoke like fountains had already fallen around. Two of them exploded on the ground, covering the entire surrounding area in thick smoke.
"Master Grumas, go!" shouted someone in the thick fog.
Grumas reacted quickly. He was only stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed in one of the directions he had just remembered. Everything was too sudden, even Lu Wu's side was caught off guard. In the process of Grumas's escape, he encountered no obstacles.
