Section 112 Tracing 8

At midnight, the Lunacer arrived at his destination. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hoverknapsacks (or hoversuits) that can be used for solo flights are expensive but worth the money. The mobility of the Rangers, if not the best in the world, is at least second to none. One of the great advantages of flying is that the distance and time are highly controllable.

Normal people moving on the ground, whether in a car, on foot, or with the help of exoskeleton armor, are always affected by the ground conditions. A deep ravine, a hillside, a small river, and so on. People always have to find a balance between detours and straight crossings, and this makes the route on the ground independent of the distance on the map. It is common to walk for half a day on the ground at a sight distance on the map. Even roads built with human power can easily encounter obstacles (such as other vehicles or pedestrians) that can affect speed.

But flying is really a matter of straight lines. Moreover, the power of this hovering backpack is far more powerful than most people think. In fact, this is why this equipment is so rare that few people other than the Ranger are equipped with it. Of course, this is for the Stygian Moon, and for the Radiant Moon faction, it is embarrassing that until now, they have not made similar equipment.

That's right, using the anti-gravity effect of the Resonance Stone, it doesn't seem that difficult to create a backpack for people to levitate in the sky. But this equipment is not as simple as just levitation, but also takes into account flight speed, reliability, and of course, duration.

When these three questions come together, things are not so simple. Think about it, it can allow the Rangers to maintain extremely excellent mobility for tens or even hundreds of days under the premise of going deep behind enemy lines, without logistical maintenance, and appear at will in every corner of the battlefield or the enemy's rear. That alone is quite remarkable. In fact, even if a small amount of Ranger equipment was captured, the related problems remained unresolved. Because the Hades Moon side had anticipated this situation, it made some targeted safety measures.

In Huiyue's information, it can only be preliminarily determined that there are some technological components from another world - as for what the principle and what technology it is, then I'm sorry.

All the while, there have been two major bounties on the Ranger side. One of them is to capture a Ranger alive and figure out how to use magic without leaving a trace of it. The other is the detailed manufacturing method of this backpack. Of course, at least for now, these two bounties have not yet been claimed by the brave. Moreover, the two bounties are increasing year by year.

Therefore, many people may ignore a question: that is, the rangers, really no protective armor, isn't it a natural thing to use a hovering backpack to move without exerting physical strength?

The answer is no.

For the one who came to the city of Gasha today is clothed in armor.

He wears a kind of armor that is clearly condensed by nanotechnology according to the size of the person, gray and dark, and the material is indiscernible. Dark metal armor plates are placed in key locations such as the shoulders, chest, and thighs for added protection. In addition, he wears a helmet, the eyes of which are lowered, revealing inorganic goggles that resemble black gems. On the outside of both thighs were placed weapons, a firearm for shooting on one side and a short sword elbow-long for melee combat.

This is what a Ranger looks like in full gear.

But if you think about it, it's normal. Although the Rangers' mission is not to fight in most cases, it is actually too dangerous to have no armor on a battlefield full of bullets. Truth be told, worse than on Earth. After all, the bullets on the earth basically have a stable and reliable flight trajectory, and the bullets in this world are not so good, and flying all over the world is the norm. Even if you're stealthy, stray bullets are still easy to find. Armor provides additional defense, allowing them to survive the bullets and bullets.

As soon as he entered the city, he felt the unusual silence in the city. It should be noted that although the Rangers have dispatched a lot of people this time, different people are in charge of different areas. The one in charge of the city of Gasha is the unfortunate man who is dead. He was in charge of a different place.

When you compare the before and after, you can immediately feel that the city of Gasha is lifeless, or that there are too few people here.

Of course, he didn't know that Lu Wu only had half an army (now more than half), and most of them were still on the side of the mining area, and it was normal for Gashe City to be empty. This lifeless feeling made him immediately vigilant.

"Sure enough...... Isn't it that simple?"

……

"Sure enough, it's not that simple. In the middle of the city, in a small building, Butterfly stretched her legs comfortably. “…… Not just muscle strain, but also bruising. She looked at her knee, and it turned out that when she hit the electromagnetic cannon, the impact reached her knee...... Although it feels inexplicable, there is really only one explanation. Sprinting that day was no joke, and even my own body couldn't bear that kind of practice.

I knew that Lu Wu wouldn't die, so there was no need to work so hard! To be honest, after living for so long, she hadn't suffered like this, and she felt regretful when she thought about it. At that time, after trying my best, I found that I was still one step late, and the frustration in my heart was really too strong.

"Yes, ma'am, you're so casual. The attendant smiled and brought some fruit. "Sprinting at twice the speed of a normal car...... In such a situation, the impact and weight of the feet and knees for a long time should not be underestimated. It's something that can only be done with magic, but the body is overloaded after all. Because of this, even the bruises were overlooked. ”

"The Banshee's Gate...... There are no good things at all, and even some fruit has to be sent from the rear. Diemeng changed the subject. "Nobody is looking into the so-called pollution is over? I don't know how the people in this place live. The poor are fine...... Rich people are willing to live like this?"

"Haha, ma'am, you're joking. The attendant laughed. "Normally, there are naturally closed planting sites that offer all sorts of things. But now it's war. In the case of the army, even an ordinary warlock legion, there is no such standard of supplies, right? If you are a refugee, it is great to be able to survive, and it is too luxurious to enjoy anything. As for the pollution, the investigation has been ongoing, and there was a final report before the outbreak of the war...... It's still a short period of time, so it's impossible to change all aspects in a short period of time, right?"

"And what does the report say?"

"The conclusion is still the same, there is some recovery, but it will take time to fully recover from the impact. However, the plant side is much better than the animal side. Now, if you can't find water in the wild, it's okay to get some sap to drink, but not with animals. Basically, they are all poisonous and cannot be eaten. ”

"What has Lu Wu been doing lately?" Diemeng suddenly asked. "I've been denied a meeting for the past few days. ”

Fortunately, she is a very patient person, or rather, she hopes to be able to investigate this matter secretly in private. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten such a scholar's identity.

During this time, she temporarily recuperated, and the matter of inquiry was handed over to her entourage. In fact, that's enough. Now the people of Gasher, whatever they are, know that they are scholars from the rear. This status is respected almost everywhere, so there are almost no restrictions on their movements. Although her request to meet with Lu Wu was refused, but my dear, when the above visit was denied, the owner didn't necessarily really want to see you, or maybe he really had something to go out.

"I don't know, he seems to have gone out, at least not out. The attendant said. There used to be so many people in the city of Gasha, but now there are more than half of them. This is normal, the regular army soldiers have withdrawn, and without them and all kinds of officers, logistics and other personnel, the fortified city is now completely empty, and even gossip is scarce.

"I don't know, but I heard something by chance, as if someone had secretly collected the armor from the Destroyer...... There are a few corpses of the Destroyer on the battlefield, but their armor is gone. ”

"Oh?" Butterfly Dream's gaze immediately sharpened. The matter of the armor against magic is still a secret - although it is impossible to keep it, at least for now, not many people know that this armor can resist magic.

However, the person who collects this armor must have a very direct purpose, right? It is not a collection of them in exchange for bounties or anything like that, because there is no such trouble. The corpse of the Destroyer can also be exchanged for a bounty. Moreover, Diemon knew that that demon-resistant metal armor was actually thin and soft, and it was easy to modify. It can be easily turned into armor suitable for human wear.

Maybe even ...... Put it on top of exoskeleton armor?

Could this kind of thing be done by some mysterious force in secret? Or was it ordered by Lu Wu? So why did Lu Wu do this? Obviously, he wanted to deal with a certain warlock, right?

Funny, really funny. The longer I stay here, the more I feel that Lu Wu has a lot of secrets.

……

It didn't take much effort for the Stygian Warlock to find the command center in Gasher City. According to the prisoner who was captured by him before, Lu Wu was nested inside during this time.

Every Ranger is a master of interrogation - they are even specially trained. In fact, the convenience of magic means that they do not need such troublesome means as intimidation, threats, deception, or even torture. Warlocks can easily make you dazed and in a trance, and a person in a trance is extremely difficult to lie. Unless the captives themselves have been misinformed, or have been trained in special willpower, what is said is not a lie.

Then he realized that he didn't have much time - it was said that this man named Lu Wu would soon be able to get a floating fortress. What this meant, of course he understood as a warlock. The Floating Fortress has defenses specifically designed against warlocks, so even the Rangers don't expect to be able to infiltrate them.

There's a quirky ...... here He hovered into the building. It was a bit too quiet inside, and apparently most of the rooms were empty. It stands to reason that the current Lu Wu should not be heavily defended, why can't he even see a single guard? But on the other hand, he doesn't think that any force can pose a threat to a ranger. Even if Lu Wu hired a powerful warlock by his side, he would at least be able to escape. This is the Ranger's ability to watch the house, and he himself is the best of them.

He was familiar with this architectural pattern, and the place where Lu Wu chose to live for himself must be the left side of the central hall in front of him. Unless Lu Wu is from another world, as the Supreme Commander, he must live here.
