Chapter 156: Action Under the Moonlight
…… Chapter 156: Action Under the Moonlight
Magister Idonis really didn't disappoint Don.
It didn't take long for the "weapons of mass destruction" that Old Tang needed to be delivered to his eyes.
Four magic scrolls of meteor shower, three hundred and twenty-seven arcane bombs......
Looking at the mountain of "strategic weapons" in front of him, Old Tang couldn't help but be happy. With these powerful "guys", the success rate of your plan will be greatly improved!
The working principle of the Arcane Bomb and those goblin products, the High Explosive Bomb, can be said to be very different, completely different! Unlike goblin products, which rely on the power of gunpowder explosions to kill and injure enemies, as a specialty of the arcane darling High Elves, arcane bombs, as the name suggests, are naturally inseparable from magic.
The Magister channeled the arcane energy into the carved blue crystal and continuously compressed it, and then through the operation of the magic array on the surface of the crystal, the original highly compressed, docile and peaceful flow of magic became no longer stable, but reached a delicate balance! And when an external force breaks this balance, the fierce collision between the arcane energies will suddenly explode!
When it comes time to use it, as long as the wielder slightly transmits a little arcane energy into the crystal as a fuse, or simply throws it directly into the target area, causing the crystal to break in the fierce collision, the arcane turbulence compressed in the arcane bomb will sweep out, and the furious arcane energy will lightly tear and crush most of the life objects in the target area!
Old Tang cautiously picked up an arcane bomb from his eyes and observed it carefully.
The smooth crystal surface outlines the mysterious magic array, and the surface of the arcane bomb is even carefully carved with the phoenix emblem of the Sunstrider Dynasty! Under the background of the candle flame, the blue arcane light inside the crystal flickered from time to time, and people couldn't help but indulge in it.
Compared to the Goblin Bomb, which looks like a "dangerous" or "explosive" thing, the Arcane Bomb looks more like a delicate work of art made of blue crystal! If it weren't for Magister Idonis's repeated reminders, Don would never have associated these exquisite crystals with "weapons of mass destruction"!
However, Lao Tang can only say that there is really a world of difference between the aesthetics and values of goblins and elves!
As long as every time he thinks of the high elves' paranoid value orientation of pursuing gorgeousness and perfection in everything, Old Tang can't help but slander for a while, and constantly complains in his heart! Obviously it is just a weapon used for battle, and these high elves also have to spend time to decorate their appearance, in the eyes of Old Tang, this is purely these long-lived high elves - idle egg pain!
As for the crazy goblin engineers, they don't have much to look at, and the most important thing in their value orientation is explosives - more volume, more filled explosives, and more power! However, for Lao Tang, a rough man who advocates a "simple and rude" code of conduct, it is obvious that the style of the goblin is more to his appetite!
Thinking about it, Old Tang inadvertently raised the arcane bomb in his hand and gently weighed it to try the feel. However, Old Don's careless attitude made Itonis, the Magister who was watching him from the sidelines, frightened!
This is no joke! There are now over 300 arcane bombs in the council chamber! Once Lao Tang didn't pick it up or used up his strength too much, so that something happened and detonated these "weapons of mass destruction", the consequences would be unimaginable! I'm afraid that except for the hero-level General Sylvanas, everyone here may escape with his life, and everyone else will probably have to finish the game!
Noticing the pale face of this ninth-order high elf magister, Old Tang also realized that his actions just now were really a bit dangerous, and gently put the arcane bomb in his hand on the table, Old Tang looked at the Magister Itonis and asked with some embarrassment:
"How powerful are these little ones? What is the kill range? ”
Watching Don carefully put the "dangerous goods" on the table, Idonis's heart finally returned to his stomach. Hearing Old Tang's inquiry, the High Elf Magician thought for a moment and replied to Old Tang's image of the number:
"The power of the Arcane Bomb is considerable! Once detonated, the arcane energy in the crystal will form an area of magical turbulence within a radius of forty yards. We've tested the effectiveness of trolls in the past! Even those sweaty, sweaty, and powerful trolls will be torn to shreds by the furious magic! ”
"Good!" Magister Idonis's answer made Don very satisfied. Nodding, Old Tang said, "Please notify all the Dragon Eagle Knights immediately, so that they can become proficient in the operation of Arcane Bombs and these Goblin High Explosive Bombs!" Old Tang took off a magic backpack from his waist and handed it to the magus of Silver Moon City, solemnly explaining. And the magic backpack is full of "ammunition" for the Harpy bombing force......
"Tomorrow, they will be the most important part of the breakout plan!"
"I will definitely live up to your trust!" The High Elf Magister lowered his eyebrows, stroked his chest and returned the salute, and strode away.
After his eyes roamed around the conference room again, Don finally looked at the High Elf standing quietly beside him with unruly black broken hair and a Mithril two-handed sword on his back.
"Asker Sunscher, willing to serve you!" Seeing that Old Tang was staring at him, Asker gave Old Tang an elegant High Elf chest salute and took the initiative to step forward.
Quietly glancing at the "Queen Xià" who was frowning because of Old Tang's series of actions, Old Tang leaned down slightly and whispered in the ear of Aske* Sun Raider:
"Asker, do you like the Yin Man?"
At this moment, Old Tang's expression suddenly turned into obscene, and his slightly narrowed eyes were full of sinisterness...... The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire.
At the main entrance of Taquilin, more than a thousand Elven Ranger had already assembled in a formation under the leadership of Haduron Mingyi. It's just that most of the rangers are wounded, blood-stained bandages, and pale faces, which greatly reduce the appearance of the army that should be at its peak...... Rather than being a combat unit, these elven rangers look more like a straggler after being ravaged at the moment......
Not far away, more than 3,000 unarmed High Elf civilians also hurried to the gate under the leadership and command of many High Elf soldiers.
Leaning on the body of the brute, the heavily armed old Tang stood silently.
"Isn't it time to tell me about your so-called plan?"
I don't know when, the "Queen Xià" dressed in military uniform has quietly come to Lao Tang's side. The Sylvanas Windrunner, who was frowning and full of stern colors, stared at Old Tang's face tightly and asked lightly.
"You should have guessed my plan, right?" Old Tang, who was awakened by the question of "Her Majesty the Queen", showed a smile on his face, and said to the charming woman in front of him in a relaxed tone. "It's nothing, my brothers and I rushed out tonight with these civilians and the wounded! When we get them to safety, we will turn back and pick you up! When we break through like this, we will be a little less stressed! ”
"As for those Dragon Eagle Knights and Arcane Bombs, it's just a small tactical arrangement!" Old Tang stretched his waist, walked up to the "Queen Majesty" and continued:
"The gargoyles outside have been slain, and we will temporarily control the air until the main force of the Undead Scourges arrives! We can have the Dragon Eagle Knights make a cameo appearance as an aerial turret and provide us with fire support with carpet bombardment! With an escort from the air, we will also have an advantage in the battle when breaking through! ”
"As for the final arrangement...... It's a 'meeting gift' for Alsace! Old Tang's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "I hope he will like this 'little surprise' I gave him......"
"Yes, that's all! Is there anything else you want to know, my lady? Old Tang looked at the "Queen's Majesty" and said with a hippie smile. "I will be very generous to satisfy your thirst for knowledge and curiosity~~!"
"When is it, you haven't done it yet!" "Her Majesty the Queen" glared at Old Tang with a thin and angry face, and his full chest rose and fell, making Old Tang feel his heart fluttering.
"Rush out with these civilians who don't have the slightest combat effectiveness, and you want to kill them again to meet us? Do you know how dangerous you and your men will be? Sylvanas didn't care about Old Tang's gaze, and the "Queen's Majesty", who had always been indifferent and arrogant, was rarely excited and uneasy at the moment.
Feeling the concern of "Her Majesty the Queen" under the reprimand, Old Tang's heart was warm, but he put on a confident expression on his face and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry about us, my lady! If we can gouge through those walking dead once, there will be a second and a third time! Old Tang turned around and gently touched the back of the manjiao, his expression was indescribably unruly!
"Don't forget! We're Shuharu! ”
Looking at Lao Tang's sharp edge, looking at the world, and feeling the heartfelt pride in Lao Tang's words, "Her Majesty the Queen" was a little distracted for a while.
The man in front of him seems to have a personality charm that will always make others full of confidence and dependence on him, as if nothing can stump him, suppress him, and make him bow his head and admit defeat! Inadvertently, even the always arrogant self seems to be used to this man being strong, used to leaving things to this man to handle, and believes that he will not let himself down......
This feeling...... It's reassuring...... Lao Tang and the "Queen Xià" were speechless to each other, and the atmosphere was a little beautiful and ambiguous for a while. During this time, the Kodo Beast Knights were already ready, and when the last High Elf civilian also came to the front of the main gate, Old Tang slowly walked in front of the crowd.
"Brothers and sisters of the High Elves, I am Good's Titan Power Totem, the High Overseer of the Minotaurs, and a friend of Prince Kael'thas," Old Tang paused for a moment before continuing, "General Sylvanas's... Comrade in arms! Tonight my brothers and I will escort you out of the siege and out of this place of the shadow of death! I promise you that the walking dead will never do you any harm unless my brothers and I are all killed! ”
Looking at the pair of eyes in front of him that suddenly burst with hope, Old Tang waved his big hand and commanded loudly:
"Now, please follow our command and follow the order to board the Combat Kodomon, the civilians are concentrated on the inside, women and children are given priority, and the men please sit on the periphery! Trust me, although the process will be too thrilling, this 'journey' will definitely be unforgettable for you! ”
The burly and sturdy bodies of Old Tang and a kind of minotaur warrior stood there like that, which made the hearts of the High Elf 'passengers' inexplicably settle. With the help of the ranger troops on the side, more than 3,000 High Elf civilians and more than 1,000 wounded began to straddle the backs of the fighting Kodo beasts one by one.
At the main entrance of Taquelin, there was silence and silence for a while, and only outside Taquelin, the walking corpses of the Scourge of the Undead were still roaring and roaring, adding an eerie horror to the scene in front of them.
And the sharp-eyed old Tang found that in the crowd, there was a little girl of the High Elf sobbing helplessly, no matter how the ranger next to him persuaded her, she just refused to climb on the back of the fighting Kodo Beast. The figure sobbing in a low voice looks distressing.
With a soft heart, Old Tang strode forward and picked up Xiao Lori, lowered the volume as much as possible, and asked softly:
"Little sister, what's your name? Why don't you sit on it?"
Little Lori glanced at Old Tang timidly, and then replied in a whisper in a voice as crisp as a yellow bird:
"My name is Sarandia...... These big monsters are too fierce...... I'm afraid ......"
Little Lori's answer really made Old Tang stunned, he was really familiar with this name! Slowly, the petite figure in front of me has gradually merged with the image of the little guy who made the former old Tang feel infinitely warm in his memory...... Old Tang came back to his senses, showed a warm smile at Sarantia's little Lori, and said softly:
"Don't be afraid, these big guys just look fierce, but they're actually very easy to get along with!"
Sarandia was still a little uneasy, but after listening to Old Tang's soft voice and comforting him, she had the courage to observe these combat Kodo beasts.
Old Tang looked at the cute appearance of little Lori, and regardless of Little Lori's exclamation, he smiled and hugged Sarantia to Manjiao's side, gently put her on Manjiao's back, and tied a strap for her to fix Manhorn's body. Then he bent down and said to Sarandia:
"Come, Sarandia, sit with your uncle! Watch Uncle help you fight monsters! ”
"Uncle, are we going to fight those monsters that eat people?" Seeing that the brute horn didn't seem to be as vicious as she imagined, little Lori slowly relaxed, looked at Old Tang timidly and asked, a pair of pure big eyes flickered, but they were full of nervousness and uneasiness, "They will eat us!" It's like they ate my mom and dad! Shall we not go out? ”
Sarantia's words made the always strong old Tang's eyes suddenly sour. Suppressing the pity in his heart, Old Tang stretched out his big hand and touched Little Lori's head, and said in an unquestionable firm tone:
"Don't worry, Sarantia! Those monsters can't beat my uncle! With your uncle here, you will never be harmed! We pull the hook? ”
"Well, retractor! Hook your fingers, you don't talk like a puppy! ”
Perhaps it was Old Don's firm and confident tone that infected Sarandia and made her feel at ease; Maybe it's the innocent little guy who still firmly believes that the adults won't lie to them...... While humming a ballad, Salantia stretched out her immature little hand and grabbed Old Tang's little finger and shook it. The scene in front of him almost instantly made Old Tang's tears uncontrollable......
Turned over and stepped onto the back of the brute horn, desperately suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart! The dangerous breakout battle is about to start, and at this time, you must ensure absolute peace of mind to ensure that there are no mistakes! Do this for yourself, for your brothers, for the sake of these High Elves, and even more so - Sarandia!
With a pull on the reins of the brute horn, Old Tang untied the egg shield and curse torch behind his back, and looked back at a cadre of Kodo beast cavalry and shouted:
"Brothers! Take up your weapons! Prove to our allies that these walking corpses in front of us can't stop us at all! ”
"For Mother Earth, for the pride of Shuharu! Crush them! ”
"Crush them!" More than 5,000 minotaur warriors shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky!
"Goode!"
After the shout, a cold and pleasant voice suddenly stopped Old Tang, making Old Tang, who was about to give the order to charge, stop what he was doing and look back.
Under the bleak moonlight, "Her Majesty the Queen" slowly walked in front of Lao Tang, and after touching the sharp unicorn on the top of Manjiao's head, he carefully wrapped a necklace tightly around Lao Tang's wrist, and then stared at Lao Tang's burly and hideous body and resolute and confident face with a complicated expression, and said in a tone, but the original indifferent tone was mixed with an inexplicable emotion at the moment;
"Come back alive!" In the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen, there was too complicated feelings.
"I'll be waiting for you here! My warriors! ”
Old Don stared at Sylvanas* Windranger's glamorous eyes, shining as bright as morning stars, and then looked down at the crystal pendant wrapped around his wrist. The heart that had returned to peace was in turmoil again......
"Waiting for me to come back! My lady! Old Tang tightly held the thick and hideous Essinos barrier in his hand, and said word by word!
"I told you, I won't let you fight alone! This is...... A man's promise! ”
After saying that, Old Tang suddenly turned his height and raised the war hammer in his hand, bursting out with a powerful momentum like a mountain, mobilizing the anger of his whole body and shouting:
"Kodo Beast Cavalry! Charge! ”
The moonlight in the land of ghosts is as desolate as snow......
