Chapter 604: Crashing Headlong into a Trap
No matter how jealous the abyss was of Nangong Rong, they did not make the move of attacking the Razfeld plane, not only because of the lack of troops and the attack of the alliance fleet, but also because the other party mistakenly thought that the alliance would take the young man to act with the fleet was not in his hometown, so the main target was the alliance fleet.
Stephanie's existence can really change many things, such a tactic of moving reinforcements directly from the rear has never been imagined by Nangong Rong or the alliance before. However, Hei Changzhi's ability is limited after all, otherwise if she could really teleport across the plane regardless of distance, the abyss would not need to use a transport ship to deliver supplies to the front line in the first place.
However, after complementing the teleportation array of the elves, Stephanie has expanded her teleportation range somewhat, at least when the alliance fleet is moving near the Razfeld plane, she can [summon] Nangong Rong at any time, and what changes will occur after further cooperation between Hei Changzhi and the pointed ears is more and more exciting-to be reasonable, this is actually the original plan of the abyss, they are not only interested in the elven technology, but also hope to allow Stephanie to absorb the technology to enhance her ability.
It's a pity that it's all cheap alliances now.
Nangong Rong didn't care about this, he finally got a chance to rest after completing the manufacture of a thousand puppets, and slowly tasted afternoon tea in the room in the base. As for the young man's army of puppets, they were neatly arranged in the open space outside the room, quietly waiting for his orders, like lifelike sculptures.
"It's finally time to relax, but it's not easy. Nangong Rong, who was sitting on the sofa, put on a classic salted fish lying posture without any image, and then sighed in an extremely lazy tone, "A thousand puppets, counting them one by one is already quite time-consuming, okay, not to mention that I have to make them by myself." Oh, I've worked so hard, why don't I see the alliance give us a salary increase?"
Afternoon tea was of course prepared by Octavier, and it was impossible for the eldest princess who came to visit her little friend to come empty-handed, but she prepared a lot of various things before leaving, from bento to afternoon tea to computer accessories and even half of the decisive month - although there were a lot of strange things mixed in by the girls themselves who were not the girls themselves but those maids who were afraid that the world would not cough and cough, and said that they liked to do things, but at least the eldest princess had the conditions and ability to respond differently to different occasions.
The pastry that the young man threw into his mouth at the moment and chewed carefully was one of the many preparations, and Octavier took out one again and put it directly in front of Nangong Rong: "Say less, you can't stop your mouth when you eat!" And where did you work hard, the manufacture of these more than 1,000 puppets only took you less than half an hour or so, and it was not that you personally pinched it out, but the spiritual power and internal energy consumed, if you are tired, you go and exchange it with the workers on the assembly line in the factory?"
"I used to work in a factory, and then I went home and went hunting after a punch in the face from the foreman who deliberately withheld my wages. β
Octavir couldn't help but look embarrassed when she heard this, but the girl quickly pretended not to hear anything and changed the subject: "By the way, the Alliance and the Abyss are going to be engaged in fleet warfare, are you sure that your puppets have the ability to move and fight in the void? β
Nangong Rong didn't care about the eldest princess's small movements, after all, this kind of thing had nothing to do with the relationship between the two of them, and it was not the girl who was at fault, but the time, ah, yes, the world.
"Although I don't have any talent and taste in design, I still know very well what the most basic functions of the mech should have, and there will definitely be no extremely embarrassing things like making a land mecha when diving and making an underwater Gundam when fighting in the air! So, although this afternoon tea tastes good, please allow me to leave the table for about ten minutes to go to the bathroom to solve my physiological problems. β
As he spoke, the boy put down the pastry and tea in his hand and stood up to walk out the door, but before he could take a few steps, Octavier, who had an angry and funny expression, stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "Wait a minute, where are you going?"
"Ah, I said I was going to the bathroom, okay, are you planning to go with me?"
The lines are indeed the expected daily mode of undisciplined exercises, but Nangong Rong did not put on a strange expression of deliberately teasing the girl and turned his head to stare at the other party, but kept looking at the door without squinting, and the huge gap between his serious appearance and his lines without discipline made people completely ignore the possibility that this thing deliberately avoided the gaze of Chang Octavier and her.
It's a pity that the young man's efforts can't be hidden from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who is the party concerned after all. After being ridiculed, instead of blushing and spitting, the girl raised her foot and kicked the other party out unceremoniously, but pulled Nangong Rong so that he couldn't move, and then quickly came to him and showed a gentle and sweet smile.
"Well, I don't mind seeing your size, but I'm not going to go to the bathroom. Because, the direction of the bathroom is at the other end of the room, or do you leave the bathroom in the room close at hand, and plan to go to the public toilet outside to solve the problem?
It turns out that when the girl is tough, the boy really has no way to deal with the other party, Nangong Rong was slammed by the eldest princess, in addition to tears, he could only look at the sky speechlessly, and finally calmed down after he made a palm-clasped action at the other party with black lines: "I'm really sorry, I actually accidentally forgot to add the function of moving in the void to the puppet, and I want to use an excuse to go to the bathroom and then make up for them." β
Octavier, who got the answer he wanted, was obviously very satisfied, and let go of his right hand that was pinching the soft flesh on Nangong Rong's waist and nodded, "Well, that's right." Go ahead and get busy, I'll be here hot for you to get back. β
Turning his head and glancing at the cheap sister who had focused his attention all on afternoon tea and had not paid attention to the daily routine and dog food between the two from the beginning, Nangong Rong was very suspicious that after he came back, how much of these tea and snacks would be left.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
To be reasonable, although the puppet manufacturing work was completed early, Nangong Rong didn't think that they would come in handy anytime soon. You must know that the abyss hovering near the Razfeld plane is only an insignificant handful, and the alliance has taken the fleet out and put on an all-out posture, so what is there to worry about?
So when Stephanie's special portal appeared in front of him, the young man was in a daze, if it weren't for the fact that the afternoon tea had ended a lot earlier due to Lin Weiyin's reasons, it was estimated that he would have squirted out all the drinks in his mouth at this time.
You've taken a whole fleet out of the house, and it's no problem to destroy a whole world with the weapons you equip, and the enemy is just the vanguard of a group of routs, and it's clear that it's a perfect rhythm of victory, and now, you've even let a certain black chief build a portal to ask for reinforcements from the rear? Will that blonde ponytail command the fleet!?
It really made Nangong Rong, who was full of slander, guess correctly, the main palace of the store master is indeed not good at commanding large troops, but it is not that she is commanding the fleet, but by a special officer.
However, this is of no avail, and strategic mistakes cannot be compensated for by tactics. Even if the Alliance made up its mind to deal with even a handful of Vanguard Scouts, they would have to concentrate and go all out, so they would naturally not show any flaws, but what if the enemy knew from the beginning that the Alliance would not show flaws and still made some kind of plan against them?
Yes, after the attack fleet left, the relatively empty Razfeld plane was not considered by the abyss at all, first of all, Nangong Rong, who was the highest priority target, would definitely act with the alliance fleet (at least in the eyes of the abyss), and secondly, even if the fleet's docking base was destroyed, it wouldn't take long for the alliance to rebuild it when the elven teleportation array technology was already mastered, it would be in vain.
Therefore, it is more practical to find a way to directly annihilate this fleet that has escaped the cover of the main forces. And if it can really destroy this fleet composed of all elites, the alliance will probably slow down the pace of pursuit and stop and lick its wounds first, so as to buy more time for the abyss camp; even if it fails in the end, it can cause some damage to the fleet, thus hindering the opponent's next move.
Therefore, when the alliance fleet that thought it was going to catch a rabbit but didn't realize that the rabbit was a decoy deliberately released by the enemy, but crashed into the trap and encountered the abyssal army that hid in the shadows as prey, it was not surprising that it would ask Nangong Rong for help so quickly.
No matter what method the Abyssal rout used, in short, the other party successfully deceived the pursuing force of the alliance, so that the latter miscalculated the approximate time for them to arrive at the Razfeld plane, Nangong Rong and the others thought that there were still two or three days left, but in fact, the enemy's troops were already at home. The alliance fleet, which did not know this, although it did not show any flaws, did not set up a dense formation for the decisive battle of the fleet for the sake of that small group of enemies, but on the contrary, it took the initiative to disperse its forces in order to find out the opponent and encircle it.
And then...... There is no then.
The Alliance wants to take out the scouts who hide their heads and tails, and the Abyss wants to eat or severely damage the Alliance's fleet, and the strategic goals of the two sides are very different from the beginning, and when the Alliance finds out that something is wrong, it is difficult to turn the situation around with ordinary tactics.
Thankfully, they have other tactics that are not ordinary.
Of course, the current Nangong Rong doesn't know this, otherwise once this thing finds out that the alliance is going to pull him to the rescue, he may turn around and run away in an instant, he just subconsciously senses that something seems to be wrong, and is hesitating whether to go over or not.
Octavier, who was next to the boy, naturally saw Stephanie's portal, and she quickly noticed the former's hesitation, raised her hand and patted the other party lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Did you make so many puppets just to make them line up in the open space to pose sculptures?"
Although this method of agitation is so simple that a three-year-old child can see through it, Nangong Rong really has no intention of really treating the puppet as a sculpture to hold an exhibition, although he knows that the other side of the portal may be dangerous, but after thinking about his ability, the boy still got into it.
Unless there is a second person with the same ability in the world, or the power of the abyss is completely eliminated and the will of the abyss is sealed again, Nangong Rong will never have the opportunity to be a salted fish and soy sauce during the battle, no matter how dangerous the battle is, he must participate - because no one else can do it except the boy, he can't do it.
However, after passing through the portal, Nangong Rong quickly regretted it after all, not that the cabin on the other side had already lit a fire, and there were panicked crew members everywhere, but that Stephanie took out a rope very abruptly and tied it to his arm at the moment when the boy just appeared, and the action was so swift that people didn't have time to react at all.
"Uh, I said, what are you doing here?"
To say that Nangong Rong is not panicked, it is definitely a lie, he has just come over and has not had time to figure out the specific situation, but he was directly tied up, if it weren't for the store manager who was watching the development of this side not far behind Hei Changzhi at the moment, the young man would even think that Stephanie was regained control of the abyss and wanted to be unfavorable to himself.
"It's nothing, it's just a little insurance. β
Stephanie behaved very blandly, and her tone was as indifferent as if she was discussing with an acquaintance what materials were used in the meal she had at noon today, if what the girl said was really in this regard, it is estimated that Nangong Rong would really believe it, but unfortunately not.
So even though Hei Changzhi looked light-hearted, Nangong Rong still tensed his nerves, cautiously raised his hand and asked, "May I ask what kind of insurance is it?"
"Of course, it's for the safety that you won't be able to turn around and run away immediately when the situation is bad, and you'll have to stay here for a long time. β
"What the hell is going on here, I always feel like it's dangerous, Youmu You!" The young man suddenly lost his whole body when he heard this, and he stomped his feet with a smile and said, "Can anyone explain to me what's going on?"
The store manager, who was estimated to be really unbearable, finally opened his mouth to take over the conversation, but it was not good news: "The fleet was ambushed." β
