Chapter 08. Defend the city of shame
With the help of the telescope, this Meng Xin clearly saw that in the camp of the demon clan a thousand meters away, only the demons in the first few rows were attacking, and the thousands or tens of thousands of demons in the back were all standing there, motionless. (Touching the fish and paddling, hanging up on the spot and dropping the line).
"Isn't it good to do nothing? If those demons attack together, do you think we can hold it?" The old man deliberately lowered his voice.
"IāI know that's good, teacher. But that's not what I said, I meant to say......" The new researcher said, but he didn't say any more.
"Hehe, this question is not only curious about you, but also everyone in our research institute, including our soldiers in Pengcheng. But what about curiosity? Do you want to ask the devil?" The old researcher's playful tone was tinged with a hint of numbness and helplessness. There are some things that cannot be solved for a long time, and people will inevitably become numb.
"It turns out that the teacher doesn't know ......" Meng Xin researcher listened to the old man's words, and naturally understood the meaning - this question can only know the real answer if you ask the demon. So in order not to make the teacher angry, he didn't ask any more questions.
But just when this budding researcher picked up the telescope again, ready to continue observing. The old researcher suddenly said to the new researcher: "Every year on December 20th, the demon will be stationed in that location and launch the first round of attacks. The duration of the attack is 3 to 5 hours, two rounds per day. On December 25th, their first magic cannon will be fired, and then every 2 days thereafter. And, no matter how far the city of Pommer was destroyed in the end, those demons would not lead their armies to attack. Finally, the demons retreat every year on January 3rd. ā
The old researcher said quickly, "You should have read this information. ā
"Uh-huh."
The new researcher nodded quietly. Understand that the teacher is talking to himself about himself. Before the observation mission began, he had obtained a report on the demonic attack from his teacher, and learned these facts from it.
"Well, since you've seen it, don't you have any opinion yourself?"
"This ......" Meng Xin hesitated slightly, as if he was worried about what he was going to say next. Could it be that those demons deliberately did not attack us? ā
"That's right, just deliberately not attacking. But they're not just intentional. The tone of the old man's words brought out a hint of fire, "When the number and level are crushing us several times, we only carry out long-range attacks. Do you think this is just intentional? ā
The budding researcher frowned, but did not answer.
"They...... It's playing with us......" The old man's words were full of bitterness and helplessness. Because I have to admit that if the demons weren't there to play, they and their Pommy City would have been finished long ago.
"Damn! What do those beasts think of us humans? The young researcher could not contain the anger in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and the other hand holding the telescope, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Alright, I'm not telling you this to you off. It's better to observe when you have time to get angry. ā
"I see......" The young man was stunned for two seconds before putting the telescope back in front of him.
And at this moment, the magic cannon on the city wall suddenly entered the 'high-power air defense mode', and a translucent-looking crimson light cannon quickly swept through the 'barrage' in the sky, sweeping away all those pitch-black grenades.
In this second, the sky was illuminated by the light of the magic cannon, and then it went dark again. And this magic cannon with enhanced parts began to enter normal air defense mode again.
"Wow, yes, that's amazing." The young man exclaimed.
"Hehe, what's this. It is said that a certain border city in the west has developed a magic cannon with a range of more than 50 kilometers."
"What?! Where?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be an A-rank fortress chartered by His Majesty: Huaying Castle."
"Kazakura?"
ā¦ā¦
Time passes slowly.
Soon it was 10 o'clock.
Ninety-nine, who is sitting in the car at the moment, still maintains a lovely smile. I kept muttering in my heart: "Ah~ Why hasn't it arrived yet." ā
Obviously, the essence of these words is the desire to kill in Ninety-Nine's heart, but from the time he said it in his voice, it was like a kindergarten child in a spring outing, because he wanted to get out of the car to play, and he sent out a cute urging.
Unlike Ninety-Nine's smile, which didn't feel the slightest fear, the other members in the carriage couldn't help but get nervous because they knew that they were about to arrive at Pengmai City.
Some were silent, some were blowing water to each other to relieve pressure, and some were silently shaking their legs, and the one who was the vice captain also showed an extremely serious expression.
Xuan Nai didn't react much, with a hint of unearthly coldness and quietness in his indifference.
"Ah...... It's overcast, and it looks like it's going to be an hour or two away." An adventurer said with a wry smile through the window.
"Hehe, yes." The adventurer next to him echoed with a wry smile.
Arabella had summoned her wand at the moment, a dark purple cheap wand with a light red orb hanging from it.
Her hands clutched her wand tightly, her eyes out of focus. Occasionally raised his eyes to look at Ninety-Nine, who was sitting opposite. As if attracted by Ninety-Nine's childish performance as if she was an ignorant young girl, she also smiled.
On the other hand, when he found that Arabella was looking at his ninety-nine, he also grinned, like a newborn child, smiling innocently and flawlessly. Silly, cute.
In an instant, the eyes of the carload of people all converged on the smile of Ninety-nine, which was full of holy light, and they were all healed. The tension disappeared in an instant.
"Ahh The Nine Adults are so cute! ā
"Ah, I feel that even if I am not protected by the Little Nine Adults, as long as I can watch this Little Nine Adults, I will be very happy."
"I think...... It's worth it to see the Ninety-Nine adults in this life......" One of the most melancholy-looking adventurers whispered.
The convoy continued to move forward, and the heavy snow had stopped.
Obviously, at this moment, the snow has stopped, and the time is almost noon, but the brightness around the convoy has dimmed.
The reason for this phenomenon is none other than the fact that the convoy has entered the 'gray cloud area'.
The clouds in the sky that obscured the sunlight were not ordinary dark clouds, let alone dark clouds that were about to snow, but gray clouds formed by the black clouds created by demons.
The height of this cloud layer is above ordinary clouds and is so dense that it looks like a large cloud of fog floating high in the sky.
Therefore, it would not be long before the convoy drove into the area of the black cloud summoned by the demon, so Alfred, who took the lead, gave another order: that is, all the drivers, and at the same time activate the concealment magic to prevent the demon from detecting it.
