Section 77 Reaching the Goal
"In other words, as long as you don't reach the level of a true god, God is not really powerful, right?"
"That's wrong, partner, any creature that walks on this path is the strongest, maybe even the strongest, of their kind. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNo matter how weak a god is, he has a natural advantage over mortal things. I mean, as long as they don't reach the position of the true God, then they are nowhere near as powerful as they seem. The master made a summary. "The most important thing is that they are not as immortal as they claim, as long as they live in the material world, they will always have weaknesses. And as long as you target their weaknesses, it is not difficult to defeat them. Just like the All-Earth Free Fighting Champion, even if he is already the strongest hand-to-hand combat ability of all mankind, and may even defeat a tiger face-to-face, he will still be easily put down by a cup of poison. ”
After talking for a long time, Lu Wu suddenly felt a burst of excitement.
"That, master, there should be no god on earth, right?"
"I don't understand the situation on Earth," the master said. But in my experience, there is no true God. At most, there are only some ancient legends left behind by dead demigods or false gods. In fact, there are a lot of such things, the road to the gods is not easy to walk, although after becoming a true god, you can be immortal and immortal, and live with the sky, but you don't know how many losers die on this road. And," the master seems to be sighing. "This immortality is only theoretical. ”
"What? doesn't it mean that mortal things can't contact the true god at all?" Lu Wu was a little curious. "As you said earlier, as long as the true God does not seek death on his own, he will not die. ”
"Yes, but mortal things can't be touched...... But there are also divine wars between the true gods. This time the master sighed very clearly. "Even if we have transcended the origin and lived with the sky, nothing can pose a threat anymore...... But it can still be defeated and killed by other true gods. This is called God War. And once this happens...... Think about it, countless centuries of hard work, transcendent sanctification, and in the blink of an eye, everything is in vain......"
The master's tone has become a bit of a monk.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these sad topics. The master said, "Let's rest early." It was only a preliminary test, and tomorrow we can really test the power of this ring. ”
……
"Well, master, what's the matter with the so-called 'fortress'? ”
The goal of the retreat of the entire contingent of refugees was a fortress in the rear. That's the vast majority of what Lu Wu knew before he set off. Although the Fortress is not included in the map provided by the terminal, it is easy to understand: with the world's civil engineering capabilities, it should be possible to build a fortress in a very short time. On the contrary, the speed of updating the map (obviously, there is no internet in this world, and there are convenient satellites) will be much slower.
However, as the road progressed, it felt more and more wrong.
Because obviously, whether it is a fortress or a city, it must need convenient transportation to build. Perhaps the wilderness will remain the same terrain, but as long as you are close to the big cities, you will soon find your way.
However, although the map shows that he is very close to the destination, in fact, he has not seen anything in the construction of human engineering on Lu Wuyi.
Lu Wu stopped on a rock.
What was supposed to be a 10-day hike can now be done in just half a day. That's the power of the magic ring. It's not just that people are moving faster, it's also because the trails are shorter - many of the terrain that would have had to be "detoured" to traverse, such as steep slopes, rivers, bushes, etc., can now be easily traversed.
In terms of pure off-road ability, the effects of exoskeleton armor and magic rings should be very similar. Lu Wu still remembered that when the colonel was chasing Changtian, the colonel had a magic ring in his hand, and the colonel's subordinates were wearing exoskeleton armor, and the latter was not thrown off by the former. And the speed of the latter, well, because Lu Wu was following behind in the car at that time (and following farther and farther), he was able to roughly guess, it would not be lower than eighty kilometers per hour.
It's just that the exoskeleton armor gets the armor's protective ability, while the magic ring gets the ability to "speed up thinking". In this sense, magic and technology are on par. It's not clear who is stronger. Of course, exoskeleton armor looks cool, but unfortunately it's too eye-catching and requires logistical support, so it's certainly not as convenient as the magic ring.
"Is it a matter of angle?" Lu Wu looked ahead. Because of the magic ring, Lu Wu chose to move forward in a straight line, so now his feet are not plains, but mountains.
A mountain range that crosses the plains. If it was a refugee team, it would have to take a zigzag route to get over, but Lu Wu directly chose to climb the mountain.
"Impossible...... Is there really a fortress here?"
Lu Wu has been in this world for quite some time. Aside from the camp and the abandoned town, there was little sign of civilization in sight. In fact, after leaving the town, the refugee procession passed through fairly fertile plains, but there was no sign of human settlement. There are no farmland, no towns, not even roads.
If this can be explained by the reason that "it is necessary to choose a direction to retreat without an enemy", then it does not make sense at all at the moment. A military fortress or something, how can there be no roads around?
In the age of high technology, in addition to holding certain terrain (such as bridges and canals), is a fortress still worth militarily? The humans of the earth proved during the Second World War that the value of a fortress in modern warfare is not very large......
Maybe the development of military doctrine in the world is not as good as that of the earth?
But on the map, it's plains and mountains (and some rivers). If the enemy attacks, you can bypass the fortress entirely, or simply surround it. Turning a logistical supply center into a fortress...... Does it make sense?
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Wu felt full of doubts.
"Partner, your backpack is responding. The master suddenly made a reminder.
"Backpack?" Lu Wu lowered his mana to the lowest limit, and then took out the backpack. In the backpack, there is indeed a special sound. However, because there was a thick interlayer in the middle, Lu Wu didn't notice it just now.
Won't it ...... Hell, right? Lu Wu felt that there should be nothing in his backpack. But by the time he opened his backpack, all his questions were answered.
The slight beep was the terminal used by the officer. The status of this instrument in this world is probably equal to the status of mobile phones on the earth. Lu Wu was originally not qualified to have it, but the captain took the lead as a deserter. Maybe it was because he felt that this thing was meaningless, so he dropped it, so this thing fell into Lu Wu's hands.
The terminal itself is made of a polymer material (which, of course, is visually inspected by Lu Wu), and is close in size and shape to that of a learning machine on Earth. That is, it is not very large, but it cannot be said to be small and can be carried in a backpack, but it is also cumbersome to carry around. It comes with a translucent screen like gray glass, and there is also a projection function, which is barely easy to use. In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of this thing are equally obvious: the advantage is that its battery power is long, and it is estimated that it can be used until it is scrapped without charging, and the disadvantage is its performance - its communication ability and anti-interference ability are inevitably a bit weak and excessive.
To be honest, although Lu Wu has not used this thing for too short a short time, he still hasn't used its main function yet.
After flicking the switch with his hand, an unfamiliar figure appeared on the screen. The stranger has a completely Western face, with a high nose and deep eyes, but with black eyes and hair, especially black eyes. Maybe it's because of the communication device, but for some reason, it feels like those eyes are full of barrenness, like a beast.
To tell the truth, because he was not used to it, Lu Wu was a little startled, but soon he recognized the uniform on the other party's body.
It can be seen that the other party's clothes are in the same camp as him, but the official rank does not know where it is higher than him.
"You're in the Rock One's surveillance range," the stranger scolded unceremoniously. "Inform you of your identity, according to the records, this terminal of yours should be owned by xxx troops! But obviously, you are not him. ”
The stranger spoke quickly and urgently, but Lu Wu could hear that the name and unit number he said had absolutely nothing to do with the captain who escaped.
"That, sir, I'm the third temporary brigade under the Twelfth Legion of the Banshee Gate......" Lu Wu hurriedly explained his situation. This includes the situation of the refugees and the fact that they have been ordered to visit the situation.
The other party's expression was still stern, but his tone was noticeably softened.
I see," the other party should be on the phone and checking the data at the same time. Although communication was cut off all the way, because of the previous incident about Changtian, Lu Wu was sure that the colonel had gone back and reported the relevant situation, so it should not be too difficult to find Lu Wu's related situation. "Is that you, the captain of the Fifth Army who eliminated the enemy assassins? Welcome home, I'm Arshamis, and I'm currently the commander of Boulder One. Rest assured, the enemy's forces have not yet arrived, their offensive has been exhausted, and it is safe here.
"Giant Rock One?" Lu Wu felt that his mind couldn't turn for a while.
"The number of my fortress. The Commander of Arshamis spoke in a swift and hurried tone, but much more amiable than he seemed. "The Governor's name, well, I admit, it feels rather ordinary, and it doesn't make people feel awe-inspiring when they hear it, but how can you say that this is also the name of the Governor, isn't it?"
"But," Lu Wu began to suspect that this was not normal. As mentioned earlier, according to the map, the location of the fortress should not be far from Lu Wu. And this plain should be at the foot of Lu Wu. Under such a clear sky, the field of vision of human beings can be said to be hundreds of kilometers, right? But Lu Wu could not see any traces of man-made structures. "Where is the so-called Boulder One?"
"Where?" the other man was visibly stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Sure enough, as recorded, it was a young man born and raised in the countryside, who was conscripted into the army because of the temporary war crisis...... It's understandable not to know. He made a motion. "Young man, now, listen to me, look up. ”
Lu Wu raised his head in confusion, and then he saw something incredible.
