216. Fortress of the Holy Light
The engineering mecha is not only an intelligent unmanned machine, but also the backbone of infrastructure construction in the Red Dragon Republic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The military version is more advanced, and can perfectly complete various tasks, including building buildings, repairing damaged buildings and vehicles, collecting, and transporting various resources, and is hundreds of times more efficient than humans.
Although the engineering mecha has been destroyed, as long as the assembly machine inside the mecha is not completely damaged, a new engineering mech can be reassembled by manufacturing parts. With engineering mechas, coupled with sufficient resources, Ding Hao and Huang Qian can build a base in this world, so that many difficulties will be solved, whether it is survival, combat or diplomatic missions.
Because of this, Ding Hao and Huang Qian are bound to win this assembly machine, compared with the benefits brought by the assembly machine, this hundred gold coins is simply a drop in the middle.
"You want to find the rest of the wreckage of this structure?" Looking at Ding Hao's actions, Kalai asked, "Need help?" I can help with some information. ”
"Of course, that's for the best." Ding Hao gladly accepted this proposal.
Through the information provided by Kalai, Ding Hao learned that the location of the wreckage of the engineering mecha is called the Ice Soul Mountain Range, the average altitude of the Ice Soul Mountain Range is more than 4,000 meters, and the thin air makes it difficult for ordinary adventurers to fight at this height, coupled with the endless layers of elemental creatures, the Ice Soul Mountain Range can be regarded as a treacherous place in the entire Akara Continent.
"The Ice Soul Mountain Range is not a good place to visit, it is very, very dangerous." In Kalai's office, Ding Hao and Huang Qian watched Kalai rummage through books about the Ice Soul Mountain Range on the bookcase: "Hey, where did I put it...... Oh, here! ”
Then Kalai took out a book from the bookshelf called "Teach You How to Make Money to Support Your Family - The Best Places for Adventurers to Make Money", and then Kale opened the book with a bang, until the last small part, there was a detailed topographical map on the page, which marked the detailed locations of various monsters on the Ice Soul Mountain Range, as well as the dangers they might encounter.
The Ice Soul Mountain Range is about 1,800 kilometers long and 200-300 kilometers wide, the northwest and southeast sides are extremely steep and difficult to climb, it is a natural boundary mountain, and there are many kinds of monsters on the mountain, including various ice elemental creatures, ice bears, ice wolves and other cold-tolerant animals, and some people even claim to have encountered snow giants on the Ice Soul Mountain Range.
In addition to the snow giants who don't know whether they are true or not, the Ice Apostle is the deadliest monster on the Ice Soul Mountain Range, this is a hybrid monster with the characteristics of the undead and the elements, the Ice Apostle is usually accompanied by the ice wolf, and the more ice wolves he carries, the stronger the Ice Apostle is. It is impossible to know when and why this monster appeared, but there is a rumor that has been circulating in the Land of the Dead for thousands of years - in the highest part of the Ice Soul Mountain range, there is a powerful lich who created the ice apostle to guard the gate for himself.
But thousands of years have passed, and despite the treacherous environment of the Ice Soul Mountains, more than a dozen adventuring teams have managed to reach the highest peak of the mountain range, but they have not found any lich or anything related to lichs, not even snow giants.
Obviously, rumors are just rumors.
"If you want to go to the Ice Soul Mountains, you can teleport from Nasas to Fury Water City in the Stormwind Kingdom, and then from Fury Water City to the Holy Light Fortress in the north, and then you will have to walk north, passing through grasslands, swamps, forests, and complex terrain on the way, I recommend that you prepare well before hitting the road." Carlis said.
Carlisle is right, but the problem is that there are things that are not very easy to add, which is embarrassing. Take Ding Hao as an example, after separating from Huang Qian in Nushui City, because he had experienced several battles, the ammunition that he had in stock was about to run out.
"How many bullets do you have?" Huang Qian asked.
"I'll take a look......" Ding Hao carefully checked his imaginary space, and finally came to a conclusion that made people unhappy: "With the one inserted in the gun, I have a total of 3 fully loaded magazines left." ”
One magazine has 60 rounds, and three fully loaded magazines are 180 rounds, and they are gone after 10 seconds of firing at full speed.
"That's it?" Huang Qian was also a little surprised after hearing this answer, she originally thought that Ding Hao would have six or seven hundred bullets left.
"It can't be helped, after all, automatic weapons have a high demand for ammunition." Ding Hao is also helpless about this.
The ammunition of Gauss rifles can be made of tungsten copper alloy, in the state of high heat, the copper in this alloy will liquefy and volatilize, taking away a lot of heat, so as to ensure the range, otherwise it will not shoot a few hundred meters will be burned and vaporized due to air friction. The melting point of tungsten copper alloy is very different, making it very difficult to produce, so Ding Hao has not found a substitute material in the Accra continent, and it is precisely because of the high consumption and no replenishment that there is a dilemma of almost exhaustion.
"I have more than 1,200 rounds, so it's better to divide more than half of yours, after all, my quality ability can be used as a primary weapon." Huang Qian took out fourteen magazines and pushed them in front of Ding Hao, "Save a little use, at least hold on until we find the assembly machine." ”
With the assembly machine, it is completely possible to replenish a large amount of ammunition in a short time, provided that the assembly machine can still be used, and there are various raw materials left in it.
"I'll try, but I'm not sure, because plans can't keep up with changes." Ding Hao said as he put away the magazine on the table.
In addition to ammunition, the food supplies on the two of them are quite sufficient, most of them are bagged military rations that are heated with water, enough to eat for more than two months, and the next thing is to prepare some waterproof tents. Because this time I was going to enter the snowy mountains, it would be quite uncomfortable to rest without a tent.
After getting ready, the two set off, first teleporting from Nasas to Nushui City, and before leaving, Ding Hao suddenly stopped Huang Qian from wearing a powered exoskeleton.
"I made a bit of a fuss in Angry Water City before, and now I guess the wanted notices about me have been posted everywhere, so let's keep a low profile for now, and then arm ourselves when we get to the Holy Light Fortress." In this regard, Ding Hao explained that although the combat power of Ding Hao and the two of them was enough for them to be afraid of any challenge, but in case Angry Water City closed the portal, then just a thousand kilometers of travel would be enough for the two of them to be depressed, you must know that Ding Hao and Huang Qian did not carry a vertical take-off and landing plane with them.
When the two teleported to Nushui City, they found that they had really told Ding Hao that wanted notices about Ding Hao had been posted everywhere, and there were almost twice as many guards in Nushui City, and there were even a lot of people from the Firmament Law Society. can affect the guard scheduling of a city, and it is obvious that the power of the Firmament Law Society should not be underestimated.
However, as Ding Hao expected before, the images of the power exoskeleton worn by Ding Hao were painted on it, and Ding Hao's face was not drawn. Because of this, Ding Hao and Huang Qian walked directly in front of them, and these guys couldn't recognize them.
"Brains are a good thing, apparently they don't, hahaha." With Ding Hao's taunt, the two walked into the portal to the Holy Light Fortress.
The Holy Light Fortress is the northernmost fortress of the Stormwind Kingdom, in order to prevent the invasion of the undead in the northwest, most of the people serving here are paladins and priests, and even the center of the fortress is not a magic tower, but a gorgeous chapel.
On the roof of the chapel, a dazzling ball of light floated, radiating a golden holy light towards the surroundings. This is the Heart of Light, a powerful defensive magic weapon that can envelop an entire fortress in Light. Within the Heart of Light's area of influence, the paladins and priests defending the city will continue to recover from their injuries and strength, and evil creatures such as the undead and demons will be continuously burned and weakened, and as long as the Heart of Light is not extinguished, it is absolutely impossible for the undead to breach the city.
Of course, there is also a corresponding thing on the side of the undead, there is a death fortress at the southernmost end of the dark kingdom of the country of the undead, the entire fortress is shrouded by a thick death canopy all year round, the death canopy is incinerated by a large number of demonic beasts rich in dark power, and the living people will not live here for more than three days before they will be eroded by the death canopy and become extremely weak, and the death canopy is extremely oppressive to the holy light and nature, as long as the death canopy does not dissipate for a day, the death fortress will still guard the south gate of the dark kingdom.
Of course, don't look at the-for-tat confrontation between the two countries, in fact, the contradictions between the two countries have not yet reached the point of opening each other, whether it is business or politics, the two countries still have dealings with each other, just don't die these two border fortresses if it's okay.
Ding Hao and Huang Qian came to the Holy Light Fortress in the evening, and in view of the late day, Ding Hao and Huang Qian planned to rest in the Holy Light Fortress for a night, and put on the power exoskeleton by the way. But just as the two were looking for a hotel, they suddenly saw an acquaintance.
"Catherine? Why are you here? Looking at Catherine, who was bargaining in the pharmacy, Ding Hao took the initiative to walk over and say hello.
At this time, Catherine changed some equipment, the originally small holy hammer was replaced by a one-handed broadsword, and at the same time carried a wide shield, obviously changed from a milk horse to an anti-horse.
"Huh? Ding Hao, Huang Qian, what a coincidence, I actually met you here. Catherine was also full of surprise when she saw Ding Hao and the two.
"yes, it's only been a few days apart, but I didn't expect to meet again." Ding Hao smiled and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"I participated in a large adventurer mission to enter the Ice Soul Mountains, and I forgot to bring cold resistance potion, so buy some now." Catherine dropped a small purse and took a potion bottle containing a pale blue liquid from the apothecary counter. "What about you? Don't tell me you're here for tourism. ”
"Of course not." Ding Hao shook his head: "It's not a secret, we also have to go to the Ice Soul Mountain Range." (To be continued.) )
