Chapter 63: The Old Chess Game I
Fang Plover held the railing in his hand and stood on the platform.
Watching the four Type II walkers spinning their muzzles beside him, the projectiles swept over the twenty or thirty skeletons in the forest like an invisible scythe, breaking them in pieces and rolling and flying out.
The damage value of a piece of retina on the retina.
He didn't give the order until the last skeleton fell. "Beast of Burden Forward!"
"Got it, Brother Ed, pack beasts forward!" Sky Blue deliberately replied loudly.
The Greyridge Negative Hill let out a long moo and continued to stride forward. The stride hit the ground and the water splashed, and Chris was the first to get up from the muddy water, looking back at their biggest nightmare, the undead monsters that had been shattered to pieces.
The others noticed his movements, and they all got up one after another, with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Chris, what's going on?"
"What about the Protector?"
"Who are the adults who saved us?" Everyone asked.
“…… It's a professional craftsman, it's definitely a professional craftsman, and the Elpahin craftsman will always come," Chris was still quite clear-headed, he looked at the giant beast in the linden forest with an unbelievable look, and said in a trembling voice: "He can control so many constructs, at least he is also a full-time combat craftsman of the Elpahin Craftsman Association, he will definitely not be wrong." ”
"We've been saved, but we have to find them to help save the people, and Lord Dickett is still behind!" He turned back and said to the others.
"The team of professional craftsmen should be led by a master craftsman, is it Lord Merifin?" Someone asked, "Did Lord Merriphon come to our rescue himself?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be," Chris shook his head a little confused, "I seem to have seen that the man wasn't a dwarf, it shouldn't be Lord Merifin." ”
"Chris," the people said. "We don't understand what you're saying, but you're the most flexible in the lumberyard, and you weren't an apprentice, so why don't you go and get the grown-ups to help?"
"Yes, isn't the Lord Protector also Lord Elpahim, they should know each other, right?" There was a lot of talk, but Chris shook his head.
Unlike these villagers, who have little knowledge, Chris has been to Elpahim, and naturally knows what a big city it is. There, the relationship between people is far more than a village getting to know each other.
But he also understands that now is not the time to think about this. Gritting his teeth, he nodded to everyone, ignoring the embarrassment of muddy water, and rushed in that direction.
On the platform, Fang Yu saw the ragged and somewhat thin young man in the darkness chasing after him.
He shouted at them below: "My lord, the Lord Protector is still behind, he is a good man, please go and help him, he must not have an accident yet, please!" ”
The other party almost ran wildly in the heavy rain, and fell a few heels, but immediately got up again and chased after him.
Fang Yuan's heart couldn't help but soften, as soon as he turned around, Attila already understood what he meant, and the elf girl rushed to the platform on the other side, leaning on the railing behind her and throwing a rope ladder down.
"Can you get up?"
Chris was excited for a while, he didn't expect these adults to be so easy to talk to, and hurriedly nodded. Although he was an alchemy apprentice, everyone did manual work in the lumberyard, and he still had this strength, so he ran over in one breath, grabbed the dangling rope ladder and climbed up.
Attila gave him a hand and made him climb over the railing.
"Thank you, thank you," Chris blushed a little, he had never seen a forest elf in his life—this lady who was much taller than him. Then he saw Fang Yu coming over, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise: "Ah, my lord, it's you-"
Fang Yu looked at Attila and felt a sense of like-minded satisfaction in his heart, he didn't have a sister, but sometimes he really wanted to have a sister who took care of him like an elf girl.
"Do you know me?" He looked at the young man who looked a little cramped, and couldn't help but be a little curious. The other party looked like they knew him, but he shouldn't have been, he hadn't been to this place before.
"My lord, I—I know you!" Chris, on the other hand, looked very excited. "It's the Continental League, I've seen your game, you helped the Kapka Artisans Guild defeat those hateful guys from the Guta Artisans Guild."
There are not many entertainment activities in the lumberyard, but watching the live broadcast of the Continental League through the projection crystal is definitely one of the most important ones, although the old crystal has not been replaced for many years, and the projection quality is extremely poor, but everyone can also watch it with relish.
This year's competition was much more dull than usual, and that's why Chris remembered the young young alchemist in front of him - not to mention that a full-fledged alchemist as young as Elpahim was rare, even among those Electors.
Fang Yu's old face flushed.
He looked up and just saw Attila smiling, his glorious deeds naturally couldn't be concealed from the two people who participated in the game with him that day, and it was publicized by Parker's big mouth, and now everyone in the team knows about it.
The Sky Blue Tube is called: 'The glorious deeds of our captain.' But the embarrassment is embarrassing, no one has ever seen how glorious their captain is—it is said that only the aristocratic daughter, who watched the game in person, knows about it.
But Sylvid's temperament was clear to everyone, and every time Tian Lan asked about it curiously, Fang Yu saw her smile very mysteriously.
And then there was no then-
So much so that until now, Fang Yu himself still didn't know how he was tricked by those hateful dwarves into participating in the Continental League and winning the game without a head.
He couldn't help but wonder if those Guta people had a problem with their brains, and they couldn't even beat a new Ding, what rank did they rank?
The absurdity of this incident was once a joke in the team, even to the point that even a steady elf girl couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.
It's like this.
Fang Yu blushed and comforted him, "...... Rest assured, we will do our best to help. ”
Chris didn't expect Fang Yu to be so easy to speak, and he was stunned for a while.
He had watched Fang Yuan's game, so he naturally knew how powerful this young man was, this year's Continental League Iron Oak Principality almost swept the Cowlin-Ishurian team to the ground, but the only time the champion team of the Cloud Sea Division was deflated was in the hands of this teenager who appeared on the field for the first time.
He had met the top young geniuses of the Elpahim Craftsmen, whether they were the children of the nobility of the aborigines or the new generation of Electors of the Grand Guild, who had no talent for alchemy.
The nobles looked down on their apprentices from civilian origins, and the new generation of recruiters of those guilds had an even more indifferent attitude, not bothering to deal with them at all, just treating people like him as air.
He naturally didn't know Fang Yuan's true origin, and subconsciously thought that the other party was also such a new-generation genius, and this was the first time he had met someone with such an identity to talk to him in this tone.
Chris couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and plucked up his courage to say, "My lord, I know where we and the Lord Protector are separated, and I will take you to him." ”
"No need." Fang Yu only shook his head: "You protect yourself." ”
Protect yourself? Chris was stunned for a moment, still wondering what this sentence meant, and he had already seen Fang Yu walking forward, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the rain curtain.
There was a glimmer of light in the darkness in the distance, and a clockwork fairy parted the rain curtain and landed steadily in his hands.
Chris wouldn't recognize the clockwork goblin when he saw it—it was the clockwork goblin that led them out of the dark creatures.
"My lord, you ......" Chris was a little dumbfounded, "You, you are a combat craftsman?" ”
Fang Yu looked at him a little strangely. "yes, what's the problem?"
"First, before, it has always been the adults who have helped us?"
"Pretty much, it didn't really help." Fang Yu told the truth.
"But, those walkers—" Chris finally remembered, and the alchemist he seemed to have seen faintly on the platform earlier seemed to be the boy in front of him.
And what about the ranks of the Elpahim Artisans' Guild? What about the professional craftsmen?
And who controls the four fortress-type walkers?
He opened his mouth to ask something more, but he didn't have the chance. Because of the sudden glow in the forest ahead, Chris couldn't know what they were—the soul fire flickering in the hollow eye sockets of the skeletons, and it was these terrible monsters that drove them all the way here.
Seeing these things, he didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and couldn't help but remind anxiously: "My lord, be careful over there, don't let them come over, there are archers among those undead." ”
Fang Yu nodded.
He walked over to the Paparal, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to him deeper in the forest. "The last gear of the delayed fuze, thirty-two in azimuth, three bursts."
"Leave it to me!" Confidently pulling the crossbow away, Parker pulled the narrow crystal prism from the box and set the firing mechanism below to the last gear.
Then he lifted the crossbow and aimed in that direction.
Fang Yu didn't urge him either. Parker is not a big deal on weekdays, but at least he is a professional crossbowman. Fang Yu knew that he was sharper than ordinary people in judging distance, but when it came to choosing the right time to attack, he was far inferior to a truly professional projector.
Attila pushed the still nervous young man into the room, and Chris turned around just in time to see the Paparal pull the trigger, then spin the stick to pull the crossbow machine, reload and shoot, three times in a row.
He was still wondering what such a shot would do to those bone racks.
But about half a second later.
A flash of light suddenly exploded in the darkness in that direction, and the young man subconsciously closed his eyes, followed by a second and third flash in succession.
Then the roar and the shock wave came from afar.
The rain was torn into a white wave, and it swept through the forest with a brush, lifting the rain cloth on the back of the Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast, making a loud noise. The loud sound made Chris feel like a lonely boat in the middle of a storm, and he opened his eyes in disbelief with his mouth wide open.
In the field of vision, the wind blew Paparal's hair back vigorously, and it even looked a little funny.
The Plover stood right behind Parker, pulling at the collar of his trench coat robe with one hand to keep it from being blown away, and the other hand kept up in touch with the walkers.
It was as if he was observing the effect of the attack—
After a while, Chris heard Fang Yu continue to speak: "Sixty-two, raise the delay fuse by one notch, and make up three more rounds." ”
"Seventy-three azimuth, the delayed fuse is raised by one gear, and one more round."
"Wait, it's running out of magic!" Parker couldn't help but shout.
"Exchange the Magic Crystal, Sky Blue!"
"Brother Ed, I'll be there soon——!"
As soon as the roar of the explosion and the light of the fire passed, a sparse skeleton immediately appeared in the forest, but as soon as Fang Yuan raised his hand, the walkers on the platform immediately pointed their guns in that direction.
This scene made Chris petrified on the spot -
In the Elpahim Artisan Association, it is not that he has not seen the four controls, but the four controls of the walkers are at least above level twenty, the field of professional craftsmen. But sixteen or seventeen-year-old twenty-level craftsman, is this possible?
But no matter whether it was impossible or not, and whether the young man could accept it or not, Fang Yu gave the order to shoot.
Once again, the fortress-like walker began to shoot in a stormy manner, and the specially crafted magic tracer bullet stretched out into the forest with four fiery serpents. It looked like four flaming whips in Chris's eyes, and the undead fell to the ground in their path.
Some of them were even sent into the air, breaking in two in mid-air and rolling far back to the ground.
And Fang Plover let the four walkers always shoot in pairs, so that those fish that slipped through the net could not find the slightest chance to get closer. What made Chris's eyes widen even more was that the fortress had no more than one hundred and thirty rounds, and every time the Walker II emptied the chain, a clockwork elf would fly from behind with a new chain.
The Pacer's loader seems to have been specially modified, and as soon as the Clockwork Elf sinks downward, the chain can be connected to the Walker Construct with a click.
Then the clockwork fairy flew up again, and flew back to the other side of the saddle bridge.
At this time, a cute female voice will report over there: "There are still three bullet chains, Brother Ed!" "Even if the occasional reload mistake is made, a tall boy will run up from behind, and his hands and feet will quickly correct the mistake of the clockwork elf.
In this way, the four Pacers were able to shoot almost continuously during a gap of more than three minutes. Keep all skeletons trying to get close to the net.
At the same time, the Grey Ridge Negative Hill Beast almost never stopped advancing.
How much flexibility can the other party control? Chris's mind was left with a shocked thought, he had also learned the manipulation of flexible construction, and it was natural to see that even when the clockwork fairy was repeatedly reloading the Pacers, Fang Plover never gave up control of any of the four walkers.
However, the poor young man did not notice the puppet girl sitting motionless at the table in the room, the silver light flashing in her emerald green eyes, and the invisible web of light was extending to the entire battlefield along the back of the flow of etheric magic.
This is the power of the elf envoy, and for the first time in this era, it has been revealed to its owner himself.
Fang Yu even faintly felt that the four walkers were not even his limit now.
"I've changed it!" In just a few moments, Parker was able to change into a new Reservoir Crystal.
"Ninety azimuth, the shortest delayed fuse, four rapid fire."
In the forest at night, the light of the explosion resurfaced.
And at this time, through the shining firelight, Chris finally saw the figure he was familiar with.
"It's the Lord Protector!" He suddenly shouted in surprise: "My lord, I have seen Mr. Dickert, he is all right!" ”
And Fang Yu naturally noticed the other party a long time ago. In fact, his clockwork goblin had been hovering over the older knight, and he had already lost two clockwork goblins in order to show the way.
It almost didn't hurt his heart half to death.
Only then did he turn around and shout at the other side of the bridge, "Mr. Red, it's up to you now!" ”
