Chapter 469: Plane Passage
To be on the safe side, it took two hours for everyone to begin a new round of exploration of the Void. For the past two hours, Mira has been waiting for nothing, but Mira has pieced together a mechanical creature with four legs and a rectangular body, and then carried the screaming golden retriever into the passage again.
This time, Nangong Rong used a snake-shaped puppet to tie the watch to the system, and the puppet was more like a rope than a snake, with a four-legged mechanism the size of a bench lying on the ground, making the boy look like he was walking a dog from a distance.
It's just that at the moment when the [Mechanical Dog] drilled into the passage, Nangong Rong's expression that was originally embarrassed because of the golden retriever's miserable crying immediately changed, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to strengthen the connection with the system, and began to seriously observe the surrounding situation.
Through the vision shared by the golden retriever, the boy could see that the storm in the void had completely subsided, and all that remained were turbulence raging within a certain range, and as long as he did not take the initiative to approach, there would be no danger. Visibility became acceptable again as the storm faded, but there didn't seem to be anything suspicious in the range of what could be seen so far - farther away, it wasn't to be seen but to be detected with instruments, and there was no way to show it in the shared field of view.
Mira's tinkering four-legged machine is not small in size, but it is simple in design, but it can move without controlling itself, and at this time, she even carried the golden retriever cat to find a hole in the passage that had not yet been repaired, and then quickly drilled to the outside of the passage. Here, the system's detection instruments are not hindered by the energy that sustains the channel, and then it can detect the situation in the distance, which is not possible inside the channel.
"Well, I've figured out what the hell is going on. After probing, the golden retriever cat suddenly said to Nangong Rong, "Someone has set up a passage in the void to connect the two planes, but unlike ours, the other party uses a very ...... method when setting it up Uh, violent. Moreover, the scale of the other party's passage is much larger than ours, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a legion-level portal. ”
"Do you mean that the Abyss has opened the fabled Dark Gate, and is finally ready to attack Azeroth, the land destined to be their Waterloo?"
"I'm sorry, at least as far as the results observed so far by the coalition teams behind enemy lines have not found anything resembling Mt. Yamaguchi. The golden retriever first denied Nangong Rong's ridicule, and then returned to his serious appearance and said, "The distance is relatively far, I can't be sure if it is a plane passage erected by the abyss, or maybe the natives in a certain plane have to invade their neighbors because they have consumed all the resources in their world?"
What the system said was not entirely impossible, but the boy insisted that this should be a movement made up by the abyss, after all, the timing was too coincidental: "It would be nice if it was like this, but for now everything is safer to consider according to the worst-case scenario." If it is a plane passage erected by the abyss, it is necessary for us to figure out the target of the other party, do you know which planes are in that direction?"
While the alliance specializes in making trouble for the abyss when the teams operating behind enemy lines have nothing to do, they also record the planes they detected and draw a map, and this map is naturally uploaded to the network dedicated to the AI of the Golden Retriever Cat and their systems, so Nangong Rong will ask like this.
"Let me see, there are two planes of human life that are still at the level of the Middle Ages, an orc plane that is still in a tribal state, a post-apocalyptic world that has experienced a nuclear war, and the home of Angelot's elven girl. Further away is not clear, it is certain that it is the relatively stable rear of the Abyss, which Emilina and the others cannot infiltrate, but can only wreak havoc on its transportation route. ”
The planes mentioned by the Golden Retriever Cat are basically not worth making a big deal out of the Abyss, if you really want to plunder resources, you can send some miscellaneous soldiers and the army of the servant race that has taken refuge in the Abyss, just like you do with the elves. It may not be possible to conquer these natives in a short period of time, but at least it is easy to let them continue to bleed, and they can be completely consumed in a year, or at least three or four years.
And in the process, they can also plunder the resources, population, and even technology of the natives (if they are useful to the abyss), etc., and the abyss pays almost nothing, which is simply a staggering bargain.
On the other hand, if a large army is used to crush these small planes in a week or even two or three days, and the natives can be defeated and conquered, it can be done, but it is estimated that the final harvest will not even make up for the consumption of the troops. Therefore, unless they encounter an opponent who is a headache for the abyss, it is impossible for them to invade a plane in this way.
That's right, the opponent mentioned here who gives the abyss a headache is Nangong Rong, otherwise, why would the young man and the others believe that the enemy intends to be tough as soon as they find out that the abyss has a large-scale transportation activity in the Razfeld plane? All those who know Nangong Rong's ability know very well how big the threat he is to the abyss, and the abyss will naturally take it seriously without hesitation if he makes a little posture against the young man.
In less than 20 minutes, Addisi, who already had a double-digit head and a three-digit sword, took his little angel to assist him in the lower lane and happily led the line, and all the people on the opposite side concentrated on the lower road.
As it turned out, the abyss was really a dragon.
"It feels like a bit of a big range. Nangong Rong couldn't help but frown after listening to the golden retriever's narration and said, "And it's not like the abyss will spend a lot of money to attack with all its might, so their plane passage is not to attack a certain plane, but to connect the rear? ”
"Well, we'll have to get closer to figure out what's going on. Maybe this system should try to contact someone and his Hou (Divine Beast) palace girls, and let these guys go to find out the situation, lest they are bored to show affection every day except for the transport fleet that attacks the abyss, and when they go back, every girl has already been cooked with raw rice, and it's not fun. ”
In the end, the good deeds that destroy others are your real purpose, right? Nangong Rong sighed deeply with his hand on his forehead speechlessly, but he didn't say anything, after all, he didn't want to be treated the same by the system.
"Whatever you do, be quick, Mira has only set a five-minute time for the quadruped to move, and it's about to return. Nangong Rong, who had packed up his mood, reminded seriously, "Then again, you haven't found any signs of the Abyss moving in the void here in the Razfeld plane?"
Hearing this, the blonde little Lori suddenly smacked in a very obvious volume: "Tsk, don't you think I'm blind?" There is no sign of it at all, and even if there is, it is just a trace left in the void when the other party left the plane. Well, I've already contacted Emilina and the others, and they have also noticed the extremely exaggerated huge movement before, and are planning to go over to see what is going on, and they will naturally notify us when they find out. ”
Knowing that the shopkeeper and his sisters were also fighting against the abyss with himself and others in this void, Nangong Rong was still quite happy, after all, the combat units of the alliance were active here and not completely two concepts, especially when the current situation was unclear and only knew that the abyss was preparing for some kind of large-scale operation, and understanding that the help of the alliance through them was tantamount to a shot in the arm for the teenager.
The quadruped machine quickly returned to the Razfeld plane in exactly 5 minutes. Nangong Rong removed the puppet in his hand, picked up the golden retriever cat and put it back on, and then explained the general situation in the void to Octavier and the others who were waiting next to him.
"So, the abyss is to set up a plane passage somewhere where I don't know where it is, but because of the large scale and the tough way it used, it caused such an exaggerated movement?" The eldest princess couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose with her hand and sighed in pain, "Okay, I guess they should have given up on entanglement with us and several surrounding planes, gathered troops and supplies back and prepared to support the front line." After all, if you want to fight against someone who is born to restrain the abyss, it is obviously not a good idea to fight for a long time, either eliminate it in one go or run away very simply, and the other party seems to choose the latter. ”
Nangong Rong felt very innocent about this, his ability was a great threat to the abyss, yes, but it was not to the point where he would scare the other party into fleeing, at most, it was just to ensure that his own forces would not suffer losses in the war of attrition with the abyss.
However, if the abyss is not an operation to deal with the boy, then it is naturally to gather troops to support the front line, and there will be no other possibility, so even if Nangong Rong doesn't want to admit it, he can only accept the fact that the abyss was scared away by himself.
"Don't jump to conclusions, wait for the Alliance to figure out if the passage belongs to the Abyss and where it connects. The boy raised his hand and tried to get the girl she liked to put away her brain, lest she end up not even being able to take it back, "In addition, it is necessary for us to re-assemble a rapid reaction force, no matter what Abyss intends to do, it is always good to have troops on standby." ”
Octavir frowned slightly: "All the troops I can mobilize have been lost to Charlotte to stabilize the rear, and now if I want to organize troops, I can only draw them from the front line." Although the main forces of the Abyss have been withdrawn, there are still a lot of miscellaneous soldiers left, and I wonder if Ley will agree to my request. ”
Disya, who was watching Mira's busy not far away, suddenly took the initiative to take over the conversation: "If you really can't do it, it's okay to form a force with our team as the core, anyway, now we don't have to suffer a loss in fighting with the abyss, what is lacking is only heavy firepower, and we are responsible for this aspect." ”
"And the Sitneyla, they should be able to free up some of their combat power as well. Nangong Rong originally planned to take the elves into consideration, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that forget it, those pointed ears would not care about other people's affairs at all, and they would not be at the end of the world, "Also, we still have a lot of things to do before the troops are formed, such as checking the situation of each plane in the vicinity to see if the abyss is really fully evacuated." If the other party is still lying in a certain plane and refuses to leave, maybe we can help the abyss to strengthen the idea of running away. ”
The golden retriever cat didn't plan to say anything about the fact that she was going to be called by the teenager again, in fact, she also felt that Nangong Rong's approach was not wrong, who knows whether the abyss only withdrew the troops in one plane of Razfeld or gave up all the planes in the vicinity?
"Understood, I'll arrange the teleportation itinerary. The blonde Lori nodded and silently calculated the path of teleportation, but quickly paused, "Uh, do you want the elves to go over and take a look?"
Angelot is a cute little girl, yes, but her compatriots are not necessarily so friendly, Nangong Rong recalled the various performances of the pointed ears and couldn't help shaking his head for a while, and directly vetoed: "No need, just find a time to contact Chenyu in a few days, there is no need to make a special trip." We don't have time or the mood to look at other people's cold faces, and let them play as much as they like. ”
You must know that the golden retriever cat can only open a temporary plane passage once a day, and even if it does not return to Razfield halfway, it will take at least several days to turn all the nearby planes, and now every day is extremely precious for Nangong Rong and others, and the ghost will go to greet those elves.
"Oh, you green-haired and long-eared elf control will take the initiative to give up the opportunity to meet the elf girl, isn't it because you are worried about something?"
"Even if I am praised by you like this, I can't be happy, hey, what is the meaning of the other statement that is easy to cause others to misunderstand?" Nangong Rong hurriedly pressed the screen with his finger and rubbed it vigorously before Octavier next to him reacted, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, quickly take out the route you made for me to see, maybe there are still some things that need to be modified." ”
“...... Are you sure you want to let the system start computation in this state?
