Chapter Eighty-Nine: Blow It Up
The explosion caused by the Mana Crystal and the explosion on Earth. The detonation of a drug is not a thing at all, and although the end result is a grand firework, the process is very different, the latter is a rapid chemical reaction, but the former is essentially a magical process.
Therefore, the detonation of the magic crystal does not require excessive packaging, nor does it pay attention to what specific container is used, and there is no requirement for even the "charge specification", instead, it requires that all energy storage crystals be placed within the maximum efficiency range of the detonation circle, and what is required is the accuracy of the detonation circle itself and the quality and coordination of the magic guide materials, and the total amount of magic stored in the crystal is required.
And when these conditions are in place, its power will make any fried ratio feel pleasant.
The entire cliff was shrouded in blinding white light, and within the radiation range of the detonation circle, every rock crevice and hole filled with crystal particles began to produce a violent magical explosion, and those distorted people who were huddled together and began to climb the cliff were in a brief confusion due to the sudden disappearance of their targets, and then they were smashed down by the sudden arrival of the "Explosive Art......
It's a pity that Hety, who has been pulled into the shadow world by Amber, has no chance to see this spectacular scene.
The collapse of the stone wall triggered a chain reaction, and the unstable boulders above the mountain road also loosened in the violent vibration, and the rocks and clods poured down like a torrential rain, and the flesh giants were buried by the collapsed earth and rocks, and a considerable part of them were smashed on the spot, roaring into steaming elemental smoke.
But when the collapse was over, nearly half of the monsters were still alive - some of them landed outside the collapse area, some were not stoned to death at all, and those extraordinarily strong deviants casually tossed over the boulders and dirt covering their bodies, and staggered out of the rubble, the chaos magic unleashed by their companions quickly repaired their tattered limbs, and in just a few breaths, the smashed monsters with missing arms and legs regained seventy or eighty percent of their mobility.
The breath of Hetty and Amber was gone, but the surviving monsters recovered from the chaos and turned their heads neatly towards the north.
They "smelled" something else, a little farther away, but there were a huge number of them, a large number of living people, and active magical powers.
The aberrants have no morale, and the stimulus of the "prey" breath sends them into a primitive, manic state of euphoria, as the flesh giants push and shove, moving forward, leaving behind their companions who have been smashed to rotten flesh and bones, and rushing like hyenas smelling blood towards the mountain road to the north.
Then they stepped into the minefields that covered the mountains.
The explosions and collapses in the dark mountains were like thunderbolts, and they could be heard clearly even from the camp, and the soldiers who were waiting for them could not help but stir a little when they heard these loud noises, but then they were suppressed by the shouts of Byron and Knights Philip.
Gawain was relieved when he heard the explosion: there was an explosion, which means that at least the first step of the plan was successful.
With Amber on the side, Hetty's safety should be fine, and hearing the continuous roar of the explosion, you can be sure that the collapse of the rock wall is also as planned, so just wait for those brainless monsters to be blown up into the sky one by one.
Ten minutes later, another explosion finally came from the mountain.
It was a completely different sound from the first explosion - they were fainter, but continuous, almost every few seconds, as if two mages in the mountain were throwing large fireballs at each other (squinting at Rebecca), and the sound was getting closer, at first from deep in the mountains, and soon near the pass.
Gawain could almost imagine the sight of those monsters burying their heads into the minefield - how pleasant would that be?
The soldiers listened to the sound of a battle that was completely different from the previous ones, and looked at each other as they clenched their weapons: they knew that there was not a single defender in the mountain, but the movement sounded terrifying, and hundreds of flesh giants were passing through the winding and narrow mountain paths, and it was not the brave warriors who stopped them, but a large number of exploding traps...... Is this also war?
Of course, the movement in the mountains also spread all over the places where civilians lived, at first, those trembling ordinary people were just hiding behind, but the continuous explosions made it difficult for them to suppress their curiosity, it didn't sound like soldiers fighting desperately, but like thunder - people from remote places would never have the chance to see high-level mages in their lives, and of course they had never heard the movement of great magicians throwing big fireballs and fire blasts at each other, So they can only imagine out of thin air: even if there are dozens of mages fighting outside, the movement is probably nothing more than that.
At last some of the most daring and unquenchable men came out of their tents and boldly made their way to the south of the camp, looking out in the direction of the dark mountains, and at last the explosions in the mountains had spread to the passβor rather, the reckless deviants had finally reached the pass.
A cloud of smoke and mist rose from the foot of the mountain, and in the black-red dust mist, the first flesh giant roared and rushed out, like the mythical messenger of disaster who came to the world to punish mortals, waving its deformed arms and shouting blasphemous words, it broke through the minefields all over the mountains, rushed to the human camp in blood and fire, and in the process of rushing up, it rose into the air with the power of the explosion, and fell evenly on the ground in more than twenty parts, and was trampled into flesh by its successors......
The soldiers guarding the camp watched the first monster complete the whole process of roaring on the stage, fearless charge, exploding on the spot, spiraling, disintegrating the heavenly demons, and loving this land in a few seconds, they had already subconsciously clenched their swords and held their breath, but they were suddenly a little embarrassed.
Except for the soldiers who had helped Rebecca and Herty test the explosives, 99 percent of the ordinary people present knew for the first time that the wooden boxes they had made and buried in the ground were so powerful.
But that's just the beginning.
The billowing dust mist poured out from the mountain pass, it was the gravel dust rolled up by the repeated explosions on the mountain road, which was also mixed with the chaotic demon fog formed by the distortions, and out of the rolling dust and mist were countless raged flesh giants that had been blown up.
Gawain soon realized that it was indeed cool to bomb people with minefields, but it would seriously affect the operation experience if it was a group of reckless men who were blown up, and these aberrants who had little thinking ability were like a swarm that had lost their command, only looking in the direction of the food, and bowing their heads was a box A - they rushed into the minefield one after another, ascending to the sky and spinning in various postures in the chain explosion of the earth shaking and landing in random numbers and directions, but even so, they still had no fear and were still charging in one direction, And there are still new monsters running out of the pass.
Some of the monsters that were blown off by the barricade even survived tenaciously, crawling in this direction with their remaining limbs.
No, not only will this not boost morale, but many people will probably be stimulated by this horrific sight.
People who fall into fear will even ignore the fact that the number of monsters has been greatly reduced.
Gawain thought he should do something, but just before he could make a move, he suddenly heard the Byron knight next to him laugh.
The gray-haired, mercenary-turned-half-way knight pointed the sword in his hand at the deformed freaks who had been blown up, blown off, and crawling on the ground, and laughed breathlessly: "These...... These things are stupid and weak, you see how they are still crawling on the ground in a daze of the explosion...... Ha ha...... More than half of them didn't even climb halfway before they were trampled into meat sauce by their own people! We ...... How can you be intimidated by this kind of thing?! Haha......"
The Byron knight's tone was full of contempt, and he touched Philip's shoulder with his shoulder while laughing: "Philip knight, what do you think?" β
Then he lowered his voice: "Damn, I'm so embarrassed to be alone." β
Knight Philip stood up straight all of a sudden, and looked at Byron with a straight face: "Knights should not laugh at the weak, they are so embarrassed now, only because we have the wisdom of our ancestors......"
The soldiers around him had already been infected by Byron, and at this time, they resonated deeply when they heard Philip's righteous words, and the little commotion they had had before quickly subsided, and they watched the monsters that kept rushing out and being bombed into the sky, and their fear finally gradually subsided.
Some people with big hearts even want to laugh a little.
Gawain looked at the two knights next to him a little dumbfounded, he suddenly felt that this territory was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, these two knights were talents, especially that Philip, who usually looked so serious and decent, but he didn't expect it to be a compliment......
Philip himself knew nothing about all this.
He had already grasped the knight's sword and took a half-step forward.
Based on the memory of those "minefields", he judged that those monsters would not all be destroyed in the explosion, at least dozens of them would rush out, and now they were far from a real white-knuckle battle...... It's already close.
Gawain made the same judgment, raised his long sword in his hand, and shouted to the soldiers to order: "Celebrate when these freaks are eliminated - all attention, raise your sword!" β
A cold light of steel rose, and under the light of the huge sun, which had gradually begun to sink in the west, a faint layer of light floated on the armor and weapons of the soldiers.
The enchanted weapon armor is especially "eye-catching" to the deviants.
The first monster to burst out of the minefield staggered to the front, its remaining arms waving at the sky, a chaotic roar in its chest, and then rushed over.
"Attack!"
