Chapter 151: "Gods"
Half an hour later, in the open space next to the base camp.
Three huge airboat-shaped hot air balloons were filled with gas and lay quietly on the grass, like warplanes on the tarmac, waiting for the pilots to come and control them.
Ignition and the hot air balloon slowly rises, straightening the rope.
Da Vinci had already tested the load capacity in advance, and it could carry up to a dozen adult men.
In the hanging basket, except for two "bombardiers", it was full of explosives, and three hot air balloons carried all the explosives in the warehouse of the base camp.
Soon after, they will transform into bombers, inflicting tons of damage on enemy troops.
The only power of the hot air balloon is the wind, and the direction of the wind determines its direction, and Ares' task is to take the enemy army up the road according to the current wind direction, with a path of no return.
At this time, Ares hid in the grove and secretly found a map and compass by peeing, observed the swaying patterns of the branches, and calculated which way to go.
Outside, the group of musketeers and spearmen gathered around, munching on dry bread and muttering and grumbling.
Glancing into the woods, Chief Karn furrowed slightly, put his arm around the soldier's shoulder, and said, "Go see why that guy hasn't come back yet." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ares whistled while lifting his pants and leisurely burrowed out of the grove.
"Hey, what are you doing after so long?!" Karn shouted with a flick of his arm.
“******。 Ares muttered to himself, fastened his trousers, trotted over, pondered, and said, "Sir, what shall we do next?"
"You ask me?!" Karn grabbed him by the collar and glared at him viciously, muffling out, "The trail of those men is gone here, and if I can't find them, I'll cut your belly open with a knife and rip out your intestines to feed the wolves!"
After that, he gasped for anger and calmed down, let go of him, and said, "You are the guardian of the island, no matter how you say it, you have lived there for so many years, you must be familiar with this island, tell me what you think." ”
Ares greeted all the female compatriots in his family in his heart, and he still had to pretend to be respectful on his face, paused for a while, took out the map from before, and spread it out: "This is hand-drawn by the surveyor, and in my opinion, that group of people is very likely to be here now." ”
Pointing to a plain, he added, "It's flat, with clean rivers, and it's a great place to live." ”
Karn pinched the map, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lead the way!"
Fortunately, he was not suspected, and Ares breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and led the way.
On the vast plain, there is only one peak of thousands of meters, and standing on the top of it can see the panoramic view of the plain.
The sharp-eyed falconer was now standing here, closely monitoring the movement on the plain, and in this way he was highly concentrated, and after not knowing how long, he caught a glimpse of a small black dot moving on his left, quickly picked up the telescope, confirmed that it was a group of people, and released the eagle on his shoulder.
The eagle flapped its wings and rode the wind, hovering in the air for a while, and then headed straight for the base camp.
When it appeared in Zheng Fei's sight, Zheng Fei's heavy face soothed, and he exhaled a breath and ordered: "The operation begins, they are in the sixth area." ”
Santiago took the order, raised his arms and pulled up his rough voice and shouted, "Area Six, go!"
Artillerymen, musketeers, swordsmen, all the arms moved in line according to the call, marching mightily towards the plain in a majestic formation.
The swordsmen were the fastest, the descendants of the Knights of the Round Table, their swords clutched tightly in their hands.
Far ahead, they kept turning their heads and taunting the delicate musketeers with a hippie smile: "Even if the knight has no horse, he is still a man like the wind!"
"The wind is paralyzed!" cursed Hans, the leader of the musketeers, and roared at his unscrupulous men, "Give me the spirit to catch up!
Zheng Fei stood on the hillside, looked at the screaming soldiers, showed a satisfied smile, and said to the three giant airboats tied to the stone pier: "Balloon soldiers, let's go!"
The balloon soldier swung his knife to cut the hemp rope, and the huge hot air balloon slowly rose into the air, and under the action of the wind, it flew towards the plain, and the speed was many times faster than that of running on the ground.
The soldiers in the race looked up, sighed, and said jealously: "Tsk, people can fly." ”
"If you're not afraid of heights, you can fly!"
"Hey, don't look at the guys!
Ares led thousands of soldiers knee-high through the plains, occasionally keeping an eye out for swamps ahead.
After half an hour of circling around, Karn finally couldn't hold back his fiery temper, and stepped forward and kicked him violently, causing him to stagger and stagger.
"Waste, where are they?!"
With a thud, Karn drew his shiny saber and slung it around his neck.
Ares silently pinched his sweat, pursed his lips and confronted each other, killing the other party countless times with his gaze, calming down, he glanced at the direction where the weeds were blown by the wind, and affirmed: "They must be here, the plain is so big, we have to find it slowly." ”
Karn sneered, "You wouldn't be their accomplice, deliberately delaying their time to let them go, would you?"
"Hey! I" Ares was about to retort when he was interrupted by an exclamation from a soldier.
"Sir, look what that's that?!"
The soldier excitedly raised his arm and pointed straight to the sky.
Everyone looked up in unison, only to see that in the blue sky, against the background of white clouds, three olive-shaped objects slowly flew from the distance.
"Is that the big bird?" Karn muttered.
Suddenly, the pot exploded, and the chatter spread endlessly among the soldiers.
"Could it be the gods who protect this island?!"
"Messenger of God, bring us grace!"
Unlike the euphoria of the crowd, Ares exhaled a sigh of relief, and while their attention was all drawn to the hot air balloon, he quietly left, and after getting out of the range of the musket, he ran at full speed, running as far as he could.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to him, because the so-called gods and messengers were getting closer and closer, and they were getting bigger and bigger, which made them even more convinced that those three great olives were definitely not earthly things.
"Hey, they don't look like they're flying towards us!" someone shouted.
Since the hot air balloon cannot be artificially controlled, it can only fly in a general direction with the help of the wind, so it cannot reach the head of the group of soldiers with precision.
Therefore, the balloonists are all big guys like Santiago, with super explosive arm power, and can act as bombardiers to throw explosives over.
And just as they were about to do it, they found that they didn't need it.
Because, their "believers" are too religious!
When the soldiers saw that the gods' path was about to bypass them, they panicked and ran towards them.
