Chapter 110: The Calm Before the Storm
Base 0.
Xia Xuan held a copy of the [Fire Magic Encyclopedia] in his hand and carefully flipped through the magic patterns on it.
This [Encyclopedia of Fire Magic] is a magic book that is compiled by the Magicians Association and hundreds of great magicians summoned from the elves to screen all the fire magic in the magic knowledge base of the Eastern Xia Empire, improve and fuse, and condense it.
The magic in it is different from the traditional magic, and with the assistance of An Pingyi, the magic recorded in the [Fire Magic] more or less uses some modern scientific theories.
Compared with traditional fire magic, these fire magics that use some modern scientific theories are more powerful and effective.
Of course, there are also some fire-based magic that cannot be improved at all, such as the most popular magic spell for magicians, the fireball technique. The Fireball Spell used by a normal mage is a massive damage attack magic; The Great Mage's use of Fireball is a large-scale spell attack that can destroy the city with one move, such as meteor showers and blazing flames.
There has been a saying among fire mages since ancient times, there is no fireball magic of garbage, only magicians of garbage.
"The magician who developed the fireball technique is really a genius, and the magic principle of the fireball technique can make the power of the fireball increase and increase as the magic power increases." Xia Xuan carefully read the detailed magic principles of the first article on the fireball technique, and the insights put forward by some fire magicians who are proficient in this way.
After reading it, Xia Xuan was interested in his talent for the magician who developed the fireball technique. Theoretically, as long as there is enough magic and control over magic, the power of fireball magic can be infinitely stacked, and it is not impossible to even reach the level of a small nuclear bomb.
And according to the records of the Ten Kingdoms, three years ago, the sage Deloris of the Brave Squad used a huge fireball with a diameter of about 1 kilometer to wipe out a monster army of the Chaos camp in one fell swoop.
"This shouldn't be called fireball, it's called nuclear bomb. system, calculate the power of the fireball technique. ”
[Good host...... According to the system's calculations, this fireball technique can theoretically stack infinitely, and if you want to reach the power of a nuclear bomb, the user's strength must reach the sixth level. 】
"Purely in terms of shock wave and explosion damage, how powerful are the nuclear bombs they wield."
[The minimum can reach about 500,000 tons of TNT, but the upper limit is unknown due to the lack of detailed data.] 】
"If I could, I'd really like to talk to the magician who developed this fireball technique."
Xia Xuan sighed again, then lowered his head and continued to flip through the magic book in his hand.
Now Xia Xuan's time in a day has been arranged by him clearly, spending 10 hours dealing with government affairs, two hours eating and washing, 7 hours learning magic, and the rest of the time resting.
Looking at Xia Xuan, who was in the state of a bright monarch, a sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in the system inexplicably, as if the host had always been like this.
At this time, a floating window jumped out, Xia Xuan looked at the floating window, and then showed a smile.
"Night Raid has accepted our commission, and Dr. Fashion has entered the White House as planned."
Then he reached out and pulled up other information to see if it was going according to the swarm plan.
"The Pioneer forces have used their money to bribe a petty officer who was in charge of transporting food from the palace. Although it is not possible to poison it, it is likely to be exposed during heavy examination. But fortunately, he had succeeded in transporting the box with the teleportation circle inscribed on it. ”
"At the same time, due to the deliberate dissemination of news by the Pioneer forces. The Church's Vice-Leader will be the next target of the Night Raid, which will be assassinated three days later. This news was similar to what I predicted, and it scared this so-called deputy sect leader like a frightened bird. ”
Xia Xuan looked at the intelligence and looked around for shelter, like a frightened bird of the sect leader, this was one of the plans of the Eastern Xia Empire.
After learning that he was likely to be the next target of the night attack, the vice-head of the Anning Church began to use all his connections to bribe a large number of officials, including ministers, to get the emperor to send special security forces to protect him for a few days.
Under the persuasion of Minister Earnest, the little emperor also asked the special security forces to send two people to the imperial capital every day to take turns guarding him. At the same time, Estes was also very interested in this news that suddenly appeared, on the day of the parable, that is, two days later. Estes should go to the Church of Hospice as scheduled to see if the night raid will actually come.
Under the covert operation of the Eastern Xia Empire, the trajectory of the world has returned to its original place again. Although the personnel on both sides did not suffer heavy losses as in the original plot, there was no obstacle to the next action.
The Eastern Xia Empire's next plan was to use a powerful swarm drone battle plan to attack the Anning Church and all parts of the imperial capital to attract the attention of the two pillars of the imperial capital, Estes and Bud. This creates an opportunity for the Night Raid to use teleportation magic to enter the palace and kill Minister Ornest.
That's the essence of this plan. Since drone bombing can't ensure that Minister Earnest will be killed, hire the killers to attack them at night. Give them an opportunity to kill Chancellor Earnest as they did in the original book.
Just when Xia Xuan was considering other instability, such as Shira, the son of Minister Ernest who had not yet appeared. An ethereal, melodious voice suddenly sounded in his head, interrupting his musings.
"This is the goddess of knowledge, Your Majesty please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it."
"Hey! Anyone? Your Majesty! Listen! Arrive! Please! Return! Answer! ”
A loud sound shook his head.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why can't I be contacted? Impossible! World Consciousness, are you lying to me?! The ethereal and melodious voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety.
"Ahh I can't contact Your Majesty, no one is talking to me, I'm going to suffocate to death! ”
Xia Xuan looked around with a confused expression, and poked out his spiritual power, but did not find anyone, nor did he detect any traces of magic power.
Then Xia Xuan suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, a bit like the goddess of knowledge. But the voice of the goddess of knowledge is full of intellect and calmness, and the proper goddess is full of fan, and it is impossible to be so lively as this voice.
"Knowledge?" Xia Xuan asked uncertainly.
As soon as the words fell, the ethereal and pleasant voice sounded again, "Your Majesty! Yes! That's great! ”
"Your Majesty, this is the goddess of knowledge, do you hear? It's so good to finally get in touch with you! Has Your Majesty eaten? What to eat at noon? Let me tell you, I just had a grilled chicken-flavored potato chips, and it was so delicious! Click! ”
"And the drink called Coke, from which I couldn't help myself, and completely lost myself to his wonderful taste. And ......"
Because the goddess of knowledge was too anxious to get out of the starlight chessboard, she frantically cut down the divinity and let the human nature completely dominate. This also makes her emotions extremely clear, laughing when she should laugh, crying when she should cry, and showing all kinds of emotions directly and unabashedly.
Although this state does allow the goddess of knowledge to completely get rid of the control of the dice of fate, it also makes the goddess of knowledge completely become a person, a person with extremely clear feelings. As a person with extremely clear feelings, he can't stand the silence and loneliness of the starlight chessboard.
In the past nearly a month, facing this group of ugly evil gods and 4 goddesses like stones, it is almost driving the goddess of knowledge crazy.
I can't beat him, and I don't fight back when I scold.
Now that there is finally someone who can speak, this also causes the goddess of knowledge to be overly agitated and speak somewhat incoherently.
"And, there'......"
"Stop!" Xia Xuan raised his hand and shouted, the goddess of knowledge was like a sparrow, chattering endlessly, and a series of words made his head hurt.
The voice of the goddess of knowledge stopped abruptly, Xia Xuan raised his right hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Goddess of knowledge, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Your Majesty, I would like to start with the time when I first found out that Your Majesty had come to this world. The moment you just entered this world, I got a revelation of world consciousness, and then ......"
The mouth of the goddess of support is still like a machine gun, and when she opens her mouth, it is a lot of balabala.
"Stop, stop!" Xia Xuan hurriedly interrupted the words of the goddess of knowledge again, how could he not have discovered this goddess of knowledge before, it was simply a super chatter.
"To cut a long story short, be as concise as you can."
"Oh...," the Goddess of Knowledge voice carried a hint of grievance, "I made a deal with the consciousness of the world, and I gave up my godhood and power in exchange for the opportunity to return to reality. ”
Hearing this, Xia Xuan's expression was stunned, and then he asked, "You don't even want the god position?" That's an infinite lifespan, and there may not be a single god out of hundreds of millions of beings. ”
"Uh-huh!" The voice of the goddess of knowledge became triumphant, "It is indeed difficult for other beings to become a god, but for a genius like me, becoming a god is just a bonus on the path of pursuing truth. Your Majesty, please don't compare me to those ordinary gods! ”
With a giveaway? If you say that, you'll be killed. Xia Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"So what are you looking for me now?" Xia Xuan asked, and then added another sentence to prevent the goddess of knowledge from continuing to chirp and talk crookedly like just now.
"Long story short."
"I'm bored and want to find someone to talk to."
I thought it was a big deal, and I looked like the sky was going to fall. Xia Xuan was a little speechless, and now the intellectual and calm image of the goddess of knowledge had been completely shattered in his heart in just a few minutes.
"I don't have time right now, go find someone else." Xia Xuan refused, then raised his head and continued to flip through the various information on the virtual floating window.
"Your Majesty, I can finally find someone to talk to, you can do it, and talk to me for a few minutes. I've been in that dark and lonely space for almost a month, and I'm going crazy! ”
"You just go talk to someone else." Xia Xuandao.
"No, I'm also a goddess anyway, how can I talk to these mortals. Sometimes communication depends on identity, and if the identity of the two parties is too different, then there is nothing in common between the two sides at all. The goddess of knowledge replied, and her tone was full of pleading.
"Just ten minutes, okay? Just ten minutes! ”
In the end, Xia Xuan's heart softened and agreed to come down, anyway, it was only ten minutes.
"Well, you say, what are you talking about?"
"Hahaha, great!" The goddess of knowledge cheered, and then continued, "About this majesty, we can talk about 100 ways to eat potato chips, and how to use magic to make Coke drink in a different style and different feeling. ”
Xia Xuan: ???
Then the goddess of knowledge ignored Xia Xuan's confused expression and began to say a lot of words. His mouth was like a Gatling, and Xia Xuan was dizzy when he heard it.
At this moment, ten minutes of time are so tormenting in Xia Xuan's eyes.
In the end, Xia Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and directly asked people to install a new virtual computer in the office to pass the time for the goddess of knowledge.
Although the goddess of knowledge has not really returned to reality, there is still a way to use some of her power to touch the virtual floating window.
"Humph! If you don't want to chat, you don't want to chat, and you threw me a broken machine, what's so fun about this broken machine. The dissatisfied voice of the goddess of knowledge sounded in Xia Xuan's mind.
Xia Xuan controlled his virtual computer to cut the computer of the goddess of knowledge into the game area, and clicked on a game at random.
A few minutes later, the voice of the goddess of knowledge disappeared without a trace.
After feeling that the world had calmed down, Xia Xuan connected to the communication channel of the military department, "The swarm drone combat plan is now implemented. ”
"Yes, according to your will."
After hanging up the communication, Xia Xuan looked at the map of the imperial capital in front of him and muttered to himself: "It is best to kill even the little emperor in a night raid on the palace, so that no one can activate that supreme emperor tool." At that time, the army of the Eastern Xia Empire could drive directly into the imperial capital through the portal without any scruples. Then take the imperial capital as the center and quickly occupy the entire empire. ”
After various statistics announced, the greatest threat to the army of the Eastern Xia Empire now is not Estes and Bude, but the supreme emperor of the little emperor. The ray of light of the Supreme Emperor is equivalent to a small-yield nuclear bomb, and these rays cannot be intercepted.
If the Eastern Xia Empire drove its army into the imperial capital, and the Supreme Emperor Gu sent a ray of light, then the entire army would most likely suffer a devastating blow, resulting in the annihilation of the group.
Of course, if the little emperor didn't solve it, the Eastern Xia Empire didn't plan to directly confront the Supreme Emperor after completing the task. The little emperor did not have the power to control the Supreme Emperor Gu because he was young, so the Supreme Emperor Gu became an immovable turret.
This gives the Eastern Xia Empire a lot of room for manipulation, and the Eastern Xia Empire can go to other places to open the portal and occupy it, and encroach on it step by step. At the same time, short-range missiles were used to cover the Supreme Emperor with firepower from a distance of tens or hundreds of kilometers.
The distance of tens or hundreds of kilometers is completely beyond the attack range of the Supreme Emperor, and the Eastern Xia Empire can hit the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor cannot attack the Eastern Xia Empire. Although this method is likely to damage the Supreme Emperor's tool, the Eastern Xia Empire is unwilling to sacrifice a large number of soldiers for a technology that cannot be determined whether it can be reversed.
Moreover, the Eastern Xia Empire still has the scavenger neutron bomb as a backhand, as long as it is activated, all life within a radius of more than ten miles of the entire imperial capital will be wiped out under the "light of great virtue".
No matter what happens in the middle of this performance, the choice of the outcome and ending of the performance is in the hands of the Eastern Xia Empire.
…………
In the portal area of Base 0, large transport trucks drove in.
Then the engineer unloaded the black rectangular boxes from the transport truck, two meters wide, three meters high, and 10 meters long.
These black rectangular boxes are the electromagnetic transmitters of the swarm drone, which can directly shoot the drone into the sky, so that the drone can take off without any terrain restrictions. The only drawback is that it can't land, and this shortcoming is not a disadvantage at all in a self-exposed drone like a swarm drone.
The Eastern Xia Empire released this batch of bee swarm drones, and it never planned to get them back.
The Pioneers relied on their own superhuman strength, with the help of exoskeleton armor systems. Together, these four-ton swarm electromagnetic transmitters were stuffed into the portal of the Crimson Pupil World.
An hour later, the Pioneers had finally transported all 30 swarm electromagnetic transmitters into the Crimson Pupil World.
Then the last transport cart opened, and the soldiers lifted out square black squares one meter high and one meter wide from inside. These black squares, like the swarm electromagnetic emitter, were then transported into the world of Slashing Crimson Pupils.
After another two hours, 30 swarm electromagnetic emitters had been fully installed on a nondescript hillside. With just an order, these swarm electromagnetic emitters that lay flat on the ground will slowly set up, shooting out countless swarm drones.
At the same time, the black squares in the middle of the hillside are assembled into a large version of the square black square.
[The hive is installed, the queen is installed, and step 1 of the swarm battle plan is completed. 】
Swarm drone: 1 meter long, 1.3 meters wide, weight 40 kg, belongs to the self-detonating drone, self-exposed power up to 20 kg of TNT. At the same time, it can also be loaded with small cloud burst bombs, thermobaric bombs and other large-destruction bombs.
Queen Bee: Weak AI exclusive to the swarm.
At the same time, the imperial capital, which is more than ten kilometers away from here, has special security forces.
Dr. Fashion did not show up for the meeting in the morning, quickly attracting the attention of the other team members. Estes also sent someone to investigate Dr. Fashion's laboratory and found that Dr. Fashion was not in the lab. Later, the guards were notified to search the whole city, but the fashion doctor was still not found, and he was not seen in other parts of the entire imperial capital.
"All kinds of precious materials and experimental instruments in the laboratory have not been brought, and there are no traces of fighting in the laboratory, so it seems that it should not be a defection." Estes's eyes narrowed slightly, if this situation was not a defection, then there was only one possibility.
Standing in front of her, Porus and Lan continued, "The Doctor's Transhuman Force and the Experimentant Corps have both vanished. ”
"More than ten kilometers away on the east side of the imperial capital, there were merchants passing by who smelled an extremely strong smell of blood. The merchant then sent someone to investigate, and saw that the entire forest was covered with blood and minced flesh. ”
"After confirmation by the City Guard, it can be confirmed from some of the corpses that are still intact that these are the test subjects of Dr. Fashion."
After listening to the reports of the two, Estes was basically sure that Dr. Fashion had been killed now, and sighed slightly and said, "It seems that Seleuc has lost another benefactor." ”
"I'll go see Seleuc first, and you two will continue to investigate this matter."
With that, Estes got up from his chair, walked out of the room, and walked all the way to the garden.
Flowers bloom and grass is green in the garden. A brown-haired girl with very delicate features and a high ponytail sat on the lawn, holding a white cloth and constantly wiping a small fort.
This is one of the Ten Kings sanction given to her by Dr. Fashion.
"Dr. Fashion is gone, is it okay for you to repair and maintain these equipment?" A reading ear's voice came from behind him.
Seleuc slowly turned his head and looked at Estes who was walking from a distance, showing a reluctant smile: "No problem, the doctor's laboratory still has materials and tools for repair." Although it cannot be improved, it can barely maintain the status quo. ”
As soon as the word doctor was mentioned, pictures appeared in Saileu's mind.
[How about the Ten Kings of Seleuc's sanction weapons? And do you have any abnormalities in your body? 】
[All good, Doctor!] With this power, I can avenge my master and enforce justice! 】
【…… Is it justice? Hehe, you are powerful if you can survive the experiment, and use this power to pursue your so-called justice. With me, it doesn't matter if I get hurt. 】
[Okay, Doctor! 】
"Yes......" Estes came to Seleuc, and at this time Seleuc's tears were already flowing uncontrollably.
"Relatives, masters, and benefactors all died at the hands of the night attack. Captain, I'm so unwilling! Seleuc clasped his shoulders tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly, tears dripping down the green lawn.
"I already have great power, but why are the people I value leaving one after another! Captain, I don't understand why the hell is this?! ”
Estes reached out and took her into his arms, and comforted her softly, "It's okay, I'm still here." ”
"Woo wow wow wow wow!" Seleuc finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Cry, cry out, get back up and move on. Seleuc can only be called strong if he can keep moving forward and get back up no matter how many times he falls. ”
"Hmmm......"
At the same time, the garden corridor. Will, dressed in a dark blue leather wallet, and Black Hitomi, dressed in a black sailor suit, walked towards the garden.
"Good! Look at me to get Seleuc back on his feet! Will shouted with his fists clasped together.
Black Hitomi, who had been silently following him, spoke, "Will, what method are you going to use to get Seleuc back up?" I don't think Will can do it. ”
Will turned around, showed a hearty smile, and said, "How do you know if you don't try?" And my mother told me that if a girl is in danger or sad, as a man, she should stand up at this time. ”
Looking at his smile, the black pupil was stunned.
Will turned to the garden, took a few steps forward into the garden, and then waved his hand and shouted, "Seleuc! I'm coming! ”
At this time, a tall, beautiful-looking, ice-blue woman with long ice blue hair in the garden was holding a woman with brown hair, and the scene was unusually harmonious.
The captain has been healed.
"......" Will's expression remained the same as when he had just entered, and his body froze in place. Seeing this scene, he was stupid.
Black Hitomi came to Will's side calmly, stood on tiptoe and reached out her right hand to pat him on the shoulder.
Smack, smack.
"Will, I told you you can't."
An hour later, all the members of the special security forces gathered in the conference room.
By this time, Seleuc had regained his strength and regained his former sunny smile.
Estes glanced at the members present, and after confirming that everyone was due, he said, "I'll introduce you to a new teammate before the meeting begins." ”
Then he said to the door, "Come in." ”
The next moment, a young man in silver armor with brown hair walked in.
"Hello everyone, I'm the Third Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tazmi."
Syllable!
Seeing the comer, Seleuc suddenly stood up from his chair and said with a look of surprise: "You are, you are the person who was very weak that day!" ”
Tazmi's expression suddenly fell, because of his excessive physical exertion that day, if he hadn't met Seleuc, who was patrolling, he might have slept on the road. But this doesn't mean that he likes the title of Seleuc, what is a very empty person?!
"He came to the aid of the old diehard, and will go with us to the church tomorrow to protect the so-called vicar.
…………
In the early morning of the second day, the yellow sun slowly rises in the east, symbolizing the sunshine of life once again descending on the earth and dispelling the darkness.
Swarm electromagnetic emitter positions.
An hour earlier, the night raid had come all the way to this hillside according to the information given by the Eastern Xia Empire through satellite phones.
Everyone looked at the huge black iron pillars curiously, I don't know why, looking at the iron pillars and the black square in the middle, everyone had a feeling of uncertainty.
Wu Feng came to the Night Raiders, stretched out his right hand and exchanged a few polite words with Na Jie Xitan, and said, "The time of this mission is three hours later. ”
Wu Feng's first sentence made everyone stunned by the night attack, didn't he say that it was good to assassinate? How does it work in broad daylight?
Although they have always adopted the Wushuang assassination method in night attacks, they have never gone to assassinate targets in broad daylight.
"I wonder why it was three hours later?" Najehitan asked.
Wu Feng replied, "Because three hours later will be the time when the entire imperial capital will have the greatest flow of people, our purpose is to make a big enough disturbance to attract the two pillars of the empire, Estes and Bude, to leave the emperor. ”
"Create an opportunity for you to attack at night, enter the palace and forcibly kill Minister Ornest."
Wu Feng then asked the members of the Night Raid to choose their own guns, and then distributed 10 ml of eaux-de-vie and two teleportation scrolls to each of them.
Everything is ready, and in three hours, a torrent of steel flying in the sky will envelop the Imperial Capital, which will face the greatest turmoil in history.
