Section 333 Crises 2
With no other choice, Lu Wu could only continue to move forward according to the guidance of the master.
The master's prediction was correct, and there was indeed a small collapse in the place - stones, clods of earth, and of course the semi-biomass that had accumulated on the ground into a half-man-high pile of rocks. Probably these things are blocking the pipes that emit smoke and hypnotic gases.
Kecha Goyat apparently hadn't thought about the situation at all. Of course, his plan was very simple and clear: it was to fulfill the true God. And the situation he has to face is also very simple, either succeed or perish, there is no third possibility. Of course, Kecha Goyat himself has been carefully observed and studied, so he is confident that he will succeed. But in any case, if he succeeds, then this underground city will not matter, even if it is directly demolished by the warlocks. On the contrary, if he fails, everything will have nothing to do with him at all. As Lu Wu knew, although it was literally written as ascending, it was actually death.
Therefore, although his defense facilities cannot but be said to be ingenious, directly turning the invaders into a helping force to cooperate with his own rituals, they lack various plans for the later stage. This is the case, for example, in the current situation. The master took the place of Kecha Goat, but there was nothing he could do about many things. Because Kecha Goyat has never left a backup for this situation at all. So he could only rely on Lu Wu for help.
Relying on the power of the magic ring, Lu Wu quickly cleared up the pile of dirt that had been piled up. Then he noticed that there wasn't anything underneath the mound β that is, the semi-biomass. Even if Lu Wu carefully observed, and even dug out a small piece by hand, he couldn't see anything famous.
"Master, did you make a mistake?" Lu Wu asked.
"That's right, it's already recovered. partner," the master was obviously relieved. "This is it. Hurry up and get out of here, and in a few minutes, the Stygian Warlock may be approaching this way. β
"But...... Why aren't there launch tubes or something?"
"Partner, you don't understand at all, this ...... This whole semi-biomass is actually a pipeline. The master said. "You only need to make a simple modification of one of these areas, and you can easily create a 'gas storage', a 'transmission pipeline' and a 'launch port', you know? The semi-biomass under your feet, although it looks like it is no different from the surroundings, is actually the smoke released through its surface. And it's hard to destroy, if it weren't for the fact that the launch port was accidentally covered by a pile of falling rocks, and the whole system would normally be destroyed...... All semi-biomass layers in the entire area involved need to be destroyed. And in fact it is useless to destroy, because this kind of thing can grow naturally. According to Earth's time, it only takes a limited amount of time to recover after a complete destruction of the Earth. Of course, if it is not completely destroyed, then it will be faster. β
Is that so? Lu Wu then understood. Sure enough, it's black technology...... Anyway, it's something he doesn't understand at all. But now is not the time to pursue this, it is too late to say that it is too fast, and in an instant, white smoke quickly spreads out from the ground. Although the master clearly said that it was actually released by this layer of semi-biomass on the ground, in fact, from Lu Wu's observation angle, it could only be said that it was completely impossible to judge where this smoke came from. It's as if it just appeared out of nowhere. No wonder the warlocks were fooled.
"This side has been completed......" The smoke area that Lu Wu quickly left would become an invisible wall, preventing the warlocks from passing through. In short, in this way, the defense line in the master's plan is complete. If this drags on, the warlocks will have to retreat.
By the time they retreated and recovered, Lu Wu and the masters would have a lot of time to leave with peace of mind.
"Oops......" In my mind, a master's sigh sounded, no, this should not be a sigh, but a moan.
"What's the matter?" Lu Wu hurriedly asked.
"The worst has happened......," said the master. "Warlocks...... Assembled!"
"Gathered?" the Stygian Warlocks are in a team, and a team is about three or five people. "Why?"
"I don't know, but dozens...... Together. The master groaned. "It's too much...... Partner, I'm afraid we're really in trouble right now...... There's no way to stop it. β
β¦β¦
"How's the connection with the rear?" someone asked.
"No, it's completely interrupted. The one who was trying to contact someone with a terminal sighed. Almost all of their terminals are equipped with anti-jamming systems. But now he just wants to strangle the guy who designed the anti-jamming system. Because it's not even useful at all. All contact was lost. Apparently with wireless communication technology, it is now reduced to the level of relying on heralds to keep in touch with each other. To make matters worse, in fact the heralds were useless, because no one knew where the commanders in the rear were. Because at this time, everyone is scattered in this underground city.
There were already thirty or forty people gathered here. This was not gathered by some order of the commander, it can only be said that it was by chance. Already deep inside the enemy's city, everyone is quite careful and will try their best to avoid the kind of places that "look dangerous". It's just that in the eyes of different people, "places that look dangerous" are different. Some people will think that those tall buildings will avoid it, and some will think that there will be enemy fire points in spacious places. In short, it was a complete accident that so many people came together. And, unexpectedly, there happened to be a middle-level officer in the middle.
Thirty or forty is not much. Of course, as everyone knows, all members of this legion are high-level warlocks, which means that although there are only thirty or forty people, the actual combat power should not be underestimated. On an ordinary battlefield, such an army is enough to turn the tide, and even directly kill the generals and capture the flag, deciding the situation of the battle in one fell swoop.
They are now parked in front of the smoke.
The white smoke seemed to have some unknown power, gathering but not dispersing, as if it were a wall. Of course, it looks like a wall, but in the end it's just a cloud of fog. There is no danger other than affecting the visual and auditory sense of the person - it seems so. More than once, some of them stepped into the smoke and then exited unscathed.
But fools know that things are not that simple. To say that Kecha Goyat is only making this smoke for a trick, no one with a little brain would think so, right? In fact, they all avoided this smoke area all the way to gather here. But this wall of fog is really too long, and it will take a lot of time to get around, not to mention that the action of "bypassing" itself may lead to a trap.
The dying screams of Kecha Goyat have been felt by the entire region. There was no misunderstanding with that terrible wail, so it was clear to everyone that Kecha Goat had probably been badly wounded, and might even have died. But no one knows exactly what's going on. However, even if Kecha Goyat was really dead, they couldn't just retreat. Unless they receive an order from the rear, they must be confirmed.
"No play, no few attempts. Any anti-interference is useless. After all, this is the city of Kecha Goat. β
Speaking of which, although all the way through the road was cautious, so far, people have exchanged information and found that none of them are in real danger. There are two explanations for this, one is that the city itself is undefended, and the other is that Kecha Koyat puts real defense, those powerful firepower and destructive weapons in the key position. Based on basic rationality, one would assume that the second possibility is possible.
"There's no way, all attempts have the same result. After entering the range of this smoke, it basically loses the ability to sense the outside world, and the senses of sight, hearing, and smell are greatly disturbed. This means that if they are attacked inside, even high-level warlocks will only be passively beaten. Not even a few companions can take care of each other. β
The officer stood in the middle, and all eyes were on him. If you can't move forward, then you obviously have to go backwards. And due to the influence of the energy absorption effect, it does not give people the opportunity to think slowly and procrastinate. If you move forward, you will likely encounter a trap set by Kecha Goat, but if you retreat, you will be held responsible as the officer who gave the order.
"Kecha Koat...... Quite insidious!" The officer is a middle-aged man with gray hair and a "very experienced veteran" at a glance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is old. "First this energy-absorbing white light, then this white fog that greatly affects the human senses. Speaking of which, I have a feeling that I don't know if you feel the same way. β
"What does it feel?"
"Why did Kecha Goyat set up this white mist that had no actual lethal power, this energy-absorbing white light that would not take effect immediately, instead of devastating firepower? In my opinion, the effect of this energy absorption ...... And these smokes, apparently much more troublesome than installing a row of plasma cannons. So," said the veteran. "Personally, I think it's not so much a trap set by Kecha Goyat as a mockery. It's probably the kind of 'I have given you a chance, but you don't even let go of such a great opportunity', which is used to mock our courage. β
"Shall we ...... There are only so many people. If Kecha Goyat is alive, then we have no chance of winning. "Some people questioned it. Nothing else, the combat power displayed by the mechanical golem of Kecha Goat's before is still fresh in my memory. As long as Kecha Goyat sends one moreβnot more, just one, they can be easily wiped out, and maybe there will be no chance of escape.
"Indeed, under normal circumstances, it is not enough to rely on so many of us to attack," the veteran determined. "But...... If this is a deliberate mockery arranged by Kecha Goyat, then we have a chance. After all, this is just a layer of smoke, and we can use our magic to open a passage directly!"
"It's impossible to determine exactly how wide this smoke area is. Someone said. "And under the influence of the energy-absorbing effect, our power has been weakened a lot. When the time comes, it is likely that the effort will be in vain. β
"If the magic isn't enough to clear a passage through the smoke area, we'll retreat. The veteran has already made a decision, "I will take the responsibility then!"
As soon as it was too late, dozens of warlocks immediately set out to use their magic to create strong winds to disperse the smoke. It must be said that this smoke does not look like a wall, but no matter how dense it is, it is smoke after all. Defenseless in the face of gusts of wind. In the face of this tactic of direct chiseling, it was dug out of the middle of a passage. Even the Stygian Warlocks didn't expect it to be nowhere near as thick as they thought. So easily opened a way. In front of the smoke, there is unsheltered flat land.
The only problem was that there were two figures standing there, blocking their way.
