Section 364: Preparing for Action (2)
Ready for everything, Marin and his party first came to the junction of Sidney and Farol through the portal, near the edge of the mountains, and Sidney was chosen by the Just Church as a base for advancement because of its complete fortifications and castles - there was nothing on the Farol side, and it was currently a no-man's land, and it was in the point where living corpses were everywhere.
"We're not going to walk on two legs, are we?" Marin asked Dante, who was the guide, as he adjusted his helmet, a specialty of Fort Carter, the most common giant high tide crab found on the beaches west of Fort Carter.
This high tide crab is able to move like a human – straight walking, with a hard carapace on its back and large, powerful pincers capable of killing an adult.
However, its frontal carapace is soft, and although the eight small short legs move fast, they can't get on small platforms, so ...... It's a very embarrassing hassle.
Because it is not in the Raging Sea area, generally speaking, humans have no right to hunt this kind of high tide crab by themselves, but Fort Carter does a lot of business with the sea tribe every year, and the southern Thai people are also large taxpayers, and they have a very strong urge to bring crab creatures to the table, so Fort Carter can hunt 500 high tide crabs and get 2,000 crab eggs on the western beach every year, and has the right to dispose of the high tide crabs that invade the inland freely.
The helmet on Marlin's head is made of crab egg shells, this white crab eggs are very hard before hatching, and have always been the origin of Fort Carter's hard-shell helmets, Marlin used it as a sandwich for the helmet, the inside is protected by shockproof soft pads, and a shockproof plastic layer is added to the outside, and camouflage cloth can also be added.
Although this thing doesn't seem to have much protection, the people of the Church of Justice know it—although it doesn't have enough protection, it can protect the head from accidental impacts, and it can also defend against all kinds of stray bullets and fragments.
So they quickly chose to use this new type of helmet, rather than having each other's heads walk around the world unprotected, and one egg can usually be made into two helmets, so there is no one who does not have one.
Dante shook his head: "Of course not, we have received support from Sidney's military, a team of griffon knights will take us into the sky above the target area, after putting us down, they will stay away from entering the safe area to repair, there will be observers, they will come to meet us when they see us firing flares." ”
Wow, griffon, this is a rare thing, Marlin has never sat on a griffin, and the church does not have this thing, one is because high-ranking masters usually have a portal in one hand, and it is far better to pull the door to enter the field than to go out in the dust while sitting on a griffin.
The second reason is that I heard that it is very troublesome to raise this thing, and what Marin is most afraid of is trouble.
So when the griffons came, Marlin paid special attention to it, and found that all the griffons refused to ride on him.
You checked Marlin for a while, and finally confirmed that Marlin had a problem with her—Marlin's Frost Giant bloodline made these griffons hate Marin.
There was no way, Marin could only wait in the castle, wait for Dante and them to come to the location and turn on the teleportation coordinates, and then Marin went over.
The wait was four hours, and in the early afternoon, Marin entered the black zone through the portal.
In the past, Marin had placed a new coordinate in the castle, and when the time came, he would be able to come back directly through the portal.
Although the Black Zone has always interfered with teleportation, it can't stand the door opened by Marin's combination of World Tree branches.
So Marin's teleportation was not disturbed, and the moment he went out, Marin's vision was occupied by desolation - there were no trees, only sandy earth.
"Your teleportation hasn't been interrupted." Dante sighed with some incredulity.
"He is using the twigs of the World Tree as the power to anchor the coordinates, and it is impossible to go wrong." A member of the Mage Tower sighed.
"Do you know what's usually in this building?" Marin asked, pointing to the huge building in the distance.
"I don't know, we've never seen a complete building of this type, we checked the top from the air when the griffons came, there were no entrances and exits, there were some living corpses near the building, and we had a few knights help us lure them away." Dante said this, and Marin understood why the griffon knights in the distance were flying so low.
"Is it okay?"
"No problem, jumping from living corpses has never been their strong point, and we've confirmed the location of the door, which is in the eastern part of the building, and there's a small rift in the south." Mr. Master of the Mage Tower said.
"So how do we act?" Marin asked.
"The rift was small, so we decided to enter through the main entrance." His Excellency Dante said.
As the griffon squad left with the living corpses, the group began to move, and Marin followed the team through the south to see the chasm, which was so small that a halfling could squeeze in, but for safety, it was better to enter through the main entrance.
"It's good, it's big." As a sentinel scout, the halfling six-finger patted the huge metal door in front of him when he was the first to enter the gate: "Speaking of which, the ancients were really rich, such a thick metal door is enough to build a huge castle in my hometown." ”
"Shut your mouth, six fingers, and be louder, do you want to attract the master here to come out and talk to us." The dwarven gold ingot behind him pointed his gun at the ceiling, and after entering, he also exclaimed, "The ceiling is so high. ”
"There's a light-emitting device, I've never seen a building before the Great Apocalypse have a light-emitting device, it's a great discovery." The third to walk in was a member of the Mage's Tower, the young man looked at the light-lit area not far away, and he wanted to go over to find out, but was grabbed by Marin.
"What's wrong?" Then walked in and the mage Tata Lord asked.
"He's got something three steps ahead." Marin said as he turned on the flashlight in front of the gun, and in the light, a living corpse appeared in the illuminated area.
Dante immediately pointed his gun at the living corpse.
"Don't open it, this thing is dead." Marin walked over and reached out to push the body away.
"What's going on?" Six Fingers walked over, and he glanced at the corpse: "No, it seems to have been dead for a long time." ”
It looks like it's dehydrated, but it's not clear to me why it's dehydrated. ”
"Gold ingot, stop." Marin said as he pulled out a flare and threw it down the hall.
Then the crowd saw some more corpses.
Without exception, they are all living corpses that have died of dehydration.
"What's in the building?" The tower master of the Mage Tower frowned.
"I think I heard something flapping its wings." The elf Grey Wind who followed in pointed the gun in his hand into the hallway.
Marin then pulled another flare and threw it down the hallway.
Then the crowd saw a mosquito that was clearly out of proportion.
"A mosquito with a wingspan of three meters?" Marin cursed before shooting - what the hell is this.
