Chapter 1490: Genius stubble
Two career officers, two reserve officers, cadets, and a seriously wounded career bureaucrat continued to flee.
The main road is still not to be walked casually, and it is actually very time-consuming and physically demanding to walk through the alleys. It wasn't until this time that everyone suddenly felt that they didn't usually think about it, but now that they look at it, this Elichar is really big and upset.
"I used to think that Elichar was like a country town compared to Neosfia and Celexia. I was wrong, really wrong. Carol said to everyone. Except for him and Wei'er, two "veterans" who have been through a hundred battles, everyone is obviously a little tired, not to mention Alain, who limped through the pain.
"Come on, everyone, hurry back to Dugu Castle, there will be steaming hot soup bread and warm beds......" Wei'er encouraged everyone, and then felt that something was wrong: "Hey, we are obviously in the city, how can we make it look like when we were in Black Man City and Orgrimmar." ”
Hearing this, Alantis was slightly stunned, and then sighed faintly: "...... Will Elichar end up being a battlefield? ”
The Confederation (at least in Elichar) has been at peace for a long time, and many people have forgotten the last time there was a war around them. However, Alain, who is familiar with history books, does not dare to forget that during the Merlot Rebellion for more than a hundred years, this most complex skyline city suspended over the sea of clouds has become the most fierce battlefield.
The Federation Mobile Strike Fleet and the Central Garrison Fleet battled in the sea of clouds next to Elichar, and the torrent of arcane turned into cannon fire, turning the entire sky into a stirring blood. The floating battleship, which represents the culmination of the Federation's arcane technology, was constantly destroyed by the fire of its own people, and fell straight into the sea of clouds, and the white clouds were painted with the color of blood and thunder, boiling as if it could vaporize all the surrounding islands.
And on the main island of Elichar, the Sky Rose Legion and the Ninth and Eleventh Legions, which are also the Ace Legions of the Federation, have turned the entire city into a battlefield. The Federation's most elite fighters are fighting over and over again in every neighborhood, even in every building. A third of the city was destroyed by the fighting, two outlying islands were blown to the ground, more than 200,000 ordinary Union citizens were killed, and several times as many were displaced and homeless.
Alan is not an immortal, and certainly hasn't experienced such a tragic situation himself. However, as long as you read the records in the history books, you can only feel shuddering. He had just been carried by Wren in the middle of the team, with injuries on his body and a heavy and complicated mood, so his complexion naturally did not improve; At this time, his face was even more pale and bloodless, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly, looking like he might return to heaven at any time.
The empathetic Miss Ava hurriedly comforted, "It won't be so serious. Maybe it's really the demon god minions cultists in the city mixed in. Martial law for a few weeks at most, and when the enemy is hunted down and found, calm will be restored. ”
I'm afraid that even she doesn't believe it when she says this, otherwise how could she follow her seniors back to the academy, and all the gendarmes and aristocratic private soldiers she met on the road could hide.
Elovier continued: "Cultists who believe in demon gods are like rats and cockroaches in the sewers, they can't be eradicated, and they like to make trouble in the bustling city. Neosfia has been in this situation several times in its history. However, every time a big thing happens, it is quickly solved by everyone. I think that even an evil drow elf like me actually prefers a good life of peace and tranquility. ”
The meaning of the drow elf girl is clear, Neosfia often makes big news, but in the end it doesn't turn into a catastrophic event. The vast majority of citizens still live their lives as they should. In that case, Elichar should soon return to calm. Probably......
Alain probably understood what the other meant, so he smiled back politely and thankfully, at least on the surface, he seemed to really accept the comfort of the two girls, and his mood was much better.
Carol secretly glanced at Alan behind him, and then looked at his drow elf lover, did not speak, but said to the other party with his eyes: "It should be okay to be so comforting, right?" ”
“…… Yes, it should be fine, right? This is not an idle person, and he will not collapse so arbitrarily. The Drow Elf replied with a hesitant look.
They know that this old man has a beautiful newlywed lady, who he met once at the last party, and is indeed a dignified and intellectual and elegant beauty. But now, this lady is in the city, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. Carol knew that if it was herself, she would not be able to be so calm, and she was already yelling that she must go back and have a look...... Then, the standard plot is that everyone has to go back with him, but he has finally escaped and ascended to heaven, but he is defeated by the enemies who are waiting for him.
Everyone didn't even dare to tell Alan the news of Rassell's assassination, but Carol estimated that he had already gotten the news, but he kept forcing himself to be patient and try not to cause trouble to everyone.
Sure enough, it is not easy to climb to this position. With his own brain, he is actually the most suitable for himself in the army.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Lu Xi for fooling his father and brother a month earlier. He said that the Aphrodite Society's sex toys were doing good business in Neosfia, and that merchants from the city-states across the sea had already gone on their way to seek agency; In that case, why not convene a meeting of all the distributors and agents in Neosfia to determine the next step in the business strategy? Since the two of you are at the helm of the Chamber of Commerce and the family, how about the whole family travel to Neosfia? No matter how I say it, I can be regarded as a good friend of life and death, and it is also the right thing to entertain the elders of friends to travel.
With Lu Xi's current status and sincerity towards a businessman, Carol's whole family was moved. As a result, at least a dozen people, including Carol's parents, brother and sister-in-law, sister-in-law, nephews, nephews, etc., all flocked to Neosfia. Elichar's manor, which could accommodate 100 people, was even more empty.
There were no too many people in Elichar City, and Carol felt that she could concentrate on the waves with impunity...... However, if you think about it carefully, this timing is too ingenious, right? It's scary to think about!
Carol felt that even if it was to prevent her friend from becoming unrecognizable, she really couldn't think about it anymore.
As they moved on, they finally reached the edge of the city, and they could even see the lighthouse in the port area, which could be regarded as one of Elichar's landmarks, which was more than a hundred meters high, and was designed with arcane lighting, and the lights were constantly on the horizon.
Even the Sky Harbor needs a lighthouse. Do you think you won't get lost if you drive on the sea of clouds? Or in addition to the plane, there are more heights, but it is easier to get lost.
"They've blocked the port now! You're not going to take a ship, are you? Ava exclaimed.
It's one thing to run away from the gendarmes and the garrison, and the mercenaries, and it's one thing to escape back to the academy and seal the gates, but it's another thing to go to war with them. No matter how good the little girl is, she is a student after all, and her heart has not yet reached this point.
"It's just a few of us, hey, it's a pity that my sisters are either in the academy right now, and the others are scattered all over Elichar." Eloville is a pity for the authentic.
In other words, are you ready to do this when you have enough people, hey? And what's going on with your sisters half scattered around town? A group of elite scouts who have been on the battlefield and stabbed the undead lords and orcs are scattered in the city, what is the intention?
"No, over there...... Remember, between the Minato and East Ham districts, there is an urban park. Carol Road.
"Parks? Oh, I remember it's been abandoned for a long time. From the side of the academy, you can see the collapsed walls and the old thatch. Wren said.
"Well, it was originally planned to develop a cloud view villa area there, so the park was abandoned. My family also went to the auction. But later, I didn't know what medicine I had taken wrong, and I stopped the plan again. However, the park has been withdrawn, and even the maintenance staff have been disbanded, which is really difficult to restore, so it has been left unattended for a few years, and it has become what it is today. People won't come, but there are a lot more wild cats and wild dogs, and if it is this year, maybe ghosts and wild monsters will also grow, right? Carol laughed.
There was really no laughing point in this joke, and Carol noticed that everyone's smiles seemed to be quite polite, so she could only laugh awkwardly and continued, "However, this place is very good! Fortunately, there are no people, and it is actually quite close to Dugu Castle. ”
Fort Dugu Military Academy is located on an outlying island northeast of the main island of Elichar. Of course, it is said that it is a remote island, but it is actually a little larger than some of the main islands in remote areas where county offices and towns are located, and there are forests, streams, mountains and meadows on them. On the island, there is a huge Dugubao Military Academy like a military camp, which is said to be an academy, but it is actually a fortress, and the scale is no less than the garrison of the two forbidden army regiments nearby. There is also a small town and a small port at the entrance of the military academy, and the population is also smaller than 10,000 people. Such an island is not considered one of the four satellite floating islands of Elichar, but because its altitude is one or two hundred meters higher than the main island, it is difficult to build bridges with the current level of engineering.
Therefore, if you just count the straight-line distance, this island can be regarded as "close at hand", but if you want to go back and forth, you have to take a boat. So, someone gave it the name of Dugu Island. Later, the federal government established a castle and military camp on the island as one of the capital's defenses, so the castle was rightfully named Dugu Fort.
Later, fifty years ago, the then head of state, Master Fitzkild, and the Minister of War, Marshal Layden Panlin, felt that the stable ascent of officers had been controlled by the connections of the gate lords, and the whole army was becoming more and more warlords.
All in all, the castle barracks underwent a small renovation and was transformed into a military academy, so that it became the Dugubao Military Academy. When it was first established, it did play a role, but the Federation was destined to have the executive power of an evil dictatorship like Oakland, and in less than fifty years, the atmosphere of the military academy was almost corrupted. Most of those who were able to enter and study in it became all kinds of related households, and there were also more differences between the "elite bureaucratic group" and the "non-professional group", and they began to monopolize the army's upward channel even more unscrupulously under the pretext of "academic qualifications."
Of course, none of the above questions have anything to do with Carol. For them, the walls of the academy fortress and all kinds of defenses have become the most secure place for them at the moment.
"But how did we get in?" Lieutenant Ava was curious.
Although it is "close at hand", this is also according to the standards of the island, but the difference between height and height of one or two hundred meters exists after all.
Take us up with magic? Well, it shouldn't be possible, right?
"At such a high distance, you can't do either levitation or jumping, unless it's flying. But can you bring that many people? Alan thought and glanced at Carol with a fleeting scrutiny, but probably felt a little offended and didn't ask.
Who would have thought that Carol said to herself: "I just learned the flying technique, and I definitely can't bring so many people." Hey...... Why did I suddenly feel the disappointment of all of you? It's not that my strength is weak, but since Orgrimmar came back, I feel that my strength has skyrocketed. According to your headmaster, I'm finally golden. Well, what the hell is gold? Anyway, I just don't happen to be majoring in this kind of manipulation of subtle air currents and elements, but when it comes to destructive power, no one in my years of magicians can compare to me! ”
And of course, get rid of your Mr. Principal.
"It's character that determines style, and magic is even more so." Eloville laughed.
"Did you ask Miss Billica to pick us up?" Wren was eager to try his hand at the tunnel.
The so-called Miss Bilica is a spirit bird of a certain phantom beast species that Carol signed a contract with last year, a golden and gorgeous Thunderbird Dapeng. Naturally, he also brought it to the academy and made a big splash. It's a pity that when he was studying in the academy, this person was already a magician, and no one dared to bully him, so he didn't have the terrifying feeling of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, which was really a pity.
"That kid is like that, it's night again, and you can see it clearly from thousands of meters." Carol said angrily. And how could I be willing to let that kid carry so many people as coolies.
"As a spellcaster, of course, there are more advanced and subtle techniques. ...... of course."
"Space Door." The drow elf girl replied.
Carol felt depressed that she had been robbed of the limelight, and immediately looked at her lover with sad and angry eyes, but no one responded at all.
"Space Gate, how is this possible?" Alain couldn't help but be stunned.
There are about three types of so-called space doors, which are commonly known at present.
One is the highest-end dimensional gate that says it will open when it is opened, and it will open there when it is said to be open, and it will take as many people as you want. It's a pity that this is already almost a means of the age of mythology. After the Second Creation, the magic net collapsed, and the dimensional turbulence in the Aetheric Sea was much more chaotic than before, even Orucello could hardly do it. Of course, the world puzzle is not in this category. Because this kind of super-large magic is essentially sending back the material fragments that originally belonged to a part of the main plane back to their rightful place, the caster actually borrows the power of the world's origin rather than resisting it on his own, and the concept is completely different.
The other is to borrow space road markers to form a semi-stable space channel. For example, Lu Xi and Hurricane, because both of them were top-level transcendent spellcasters, and they had established a psychic chain with each other, they simply placed the spatial dao marker on each other's bodies. This is a burden on the mental power of both sides, but for the two hanging ratios that as long as they don't put more high-level spells than the eight rings, Hui Lan will return faster than they can use, this is not a matter at all. Once such a spatial passage is established, even a cross-dimensional plane is possible. Of course, this technique is actually very high-end, and it must not be a master-level spellcaster, and the personnel it carries is also limited. Some Abyss Lords bypassed the World Enchantment and ran to the main plane, relying on this method.
The last is that both ends of the space door have established stable entrances and exits with the help of magic circles, treasures, or expensive spell casting materials. In this way, it will be possible to complete large-scale interdimensional teleportation. However, having said that, the most advanced technology in this area is actually in the hands of the Abyssal Demon Descendants. The High Demons are born with the ability to open the passage between the Endless Abyss and the main material plane, which is not so much a spell that can be scientifically analyzed as a racial talent.
With a little more effort, the Abyss Lords can bring their own Demon Sons and Demon Sun into an army; The magicians of the Learned Alliance, who claim to be at the highest end of the arcane realm, have only sent hundreds of people to twenty kilometers away in the largest teleportation so far, and as a result, they have paralyzed more than a dozen experienced mages. Even if the gods and high-ranking angels of the Firmament Heavenly Palace want to bring some thugs, the angels and light spirits that can be sent down at one time are far from being compared to the demons.
We can also see that even the last teleportation, which sounds the most "simple and low-end", is a test of the caster's ability.
"We've built a stable portal in the academy and in that abandoned park, and the code to open it is in our hands, and we can close or even destroy it at any time. Outsiders don't want to enter the academy through this. Eloville explained, "This is what your headmaster set up before leaving. ”
"But, but...... Every time you turn it on, you need a magician to preside over it, right? Alain said in surprise. To put it bluntly, even with such a short-distance portal, the casters that can support it are very few. In the cognition of Alan, a magician with a serious academic background, he is generally a little inferior, a little newer, and a little more scientific, even if he is a magic master, he is very reluctant. Of course he can't do it himself, and this guy who doesn't seem to be too reliable should be choked enough, as for the others......
…… Could it be, Lu Xihe? No, no, no, he's certainly not there, or rather, Miss Sesileu? Has she reached this point too?
"Well, our student council president, Miss Miss, is also in the city now, and should be at the fleet headquarters. There's been no news yet, and to be honest, I'm a little worried about her. However, if she had presided over this circle, I probably wouldn't have felt so complicated. When Carol said this, the expression on her face seemed to be a little subtle, with a hint of loss, a hint of nothingness, a hint of cynical self-deprecation that didn't matter after being hit.
That feeling, it's like a scholar, well, a scholar finally got a PHD at the age of twenty-five, his thesis was on SCI, his invention was widely acclaimed, he got a patent, and he got angel investment, and finally he was going to reach the pinnacle of life and let himself fly, but he found that the ten-year-old prodigy who studied the same topic at the same school and himself had already won the Nobel Prize.
"Our little highness is so good, do you have any dissatisfaction with this?" The drow elf girl snorted coldly and threw away a amorous white eye.
"No, I just think that it's sad for mortals to be friends with geniuses, but if they are hit too much, they just accept it. However, the genius always takes that guy as the core and jumps out one after another like leeks, what a torture it will be! ”
Alain said: I don't know what the hell these two guys are talking about.
By this time, everyone had already entered the abandoned park that the couple had led them to, and had come to a place where even the moonlight and lights could not shine. With the surrounding weeds and ruins, as well as the traces of wild cats and dogs, there is quite a ghostly atmosphere.
"Ah, Mr. Carroll, and Miss Iroville." A gentle and lovely goddess sounded behind a collapsed gazebo. Then, a petite figure stepped out from behind.
It was a young girl from the Drow Elves, about eleven or twelve years old by human standards, dressed in a small moon-white robe and Mithril soft scale armor, with a ruby forehead ornament and silver hair tied in a delicate braided back of her head. She has a staff, a short sword, and a pistol around her waist, and she is obviously fully armed, but she is still as cute as an angel doll next to the goddess.
"You've got to hurry." The little girl raised the thing in her hand like a pocket watch with a box lid, and said with a smile: "Sister Sehireu has just informed me that I have to do something big." I'm going to go over and help as soon as I send you back. ”
