Chapter 48
The puppets don't need to forage around like animals, so they never make superfluous movements, except for a very few vigilant types like the whistle bees, which have been patrolling according to the complex route that has not changed for thousands of years, and most of the puppets are in the territory it has guarded for thousands of years, quietly dormant.
Animals that move at night are also natural stalkers and never make any sounds, so the night in the Twilight Forest is always silent and terrifying.
But tonight's twilight forest is particularly "lively", a behemoth that breaks the silence of the forest for thousands of years with the roar of a huge engine.
A white chariot the size of an oil tanker drove unscrupulously through the forest, and all obstacles that tried to stop its progress, whether it be boulders, trees, or golems, were instantly crushed by its huge head that glowed white like a hammerhead hammerhead shark's head.
The chariot was like a huge wheat harvester, and the giant trees were like wheat stalks everywhere it went, fragile enough to stop his progress, and it was easily harvested, leaving a smooth avenue.
Nanbo's off-road vehicle gradually approached the giant chariot, although he had seen it from a distance before, but he was once again deeply shocked by this terrifying "all-metal monster".
The first time I saw this chariot, it was in a static state after all, and Nanbo was only amazed by its huge size, and could not feel its majesty.
Although Nanbo is still far from the chariot now, he can no longer hear the sound of his off-road vehicle, and his ears are full of "boom, boom" super bass that vibrates with his heart.
The shape of the chariot has also changed, Nanbo remembers with certainty that the front of the chariot in the afternoon is a streamlined sharp corner, and the sharp corner of the front of the chariot at this moment should be divided into two, turning into two huge blades, horizontal on both sides of the front of the chariot.
There are also dozens of cannons of the same size on the outside of the vehicle, which are constantly firing, killing all the golems that try to get close to the vehicle.
Although Nanbo has not participated in military hunting, he has watched related videos and movies. So he understands that this is no longer a military hunt, it is simply "slaughtering" or harvesting.
In an instant, Nanbo began to understand the reason why Abate, the president of the Chasseur Guild, was angry in Gray's Bar that day, if this chariot really swept all the protocol hunting grounds in the Western Wilderness, then the Chasseur Guild could really be disbanded.
The Western Wilderness is because of the terrain restrictions, which is not conducive to large-scale military hunting, coupled with the openness of the Xijing Agreement, to create the reputation of a scattered hunting paradise. But this suspended movement, can clear all obstacles, and it seems that the monster that is not limited by the terrain seems to be able to completely clear most of the shadow area of the Western Wilderness.
However, this kind of hunting method is very rough and wasteful, at least in Nanbo's eyes, he just saw several mechanical puppet demons with rare materials or rare devices on their bodies being crushed by the giants of the chariot, and it is estimated that there is nothing that can be used except for the energy core, not to mention those machine puppet beasts that rush towards the chariot like moths to fire, but are directly wiped out under the cannon.
In addition to the puppet, the chariot to the natural environment and biological damage is also devastating, although there are lessons from the previous civilization, in addition to the fact that human beings are now using the ultra-clean energy of energy core, the pollution and destruction of the earth's environment by the new civilization has been greatly reduced compared with the civilization of the Common Era, and even some naturalists have begun to say that "man has returned to nature again" and other views, but after watching the chariot drive, it is like a scar, I don't know how many traces of life have been buried, Nanbo sighed in his heart, "Man and nature develop in harmony." "It's so hypocritical in all times.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Nanbo took out the MX-7 that he picked up, and fired three shots into the sky, red, blue, and red, representing the general signal flare for help exploded in the sky in turn, Nanbo had given up the idea of letting Fran get on the car alone, and originally planned to drive the car to the front of the tank, and the idea of sneaking up when he was waiting for the tank to stop was no longer possible, not to mention whether he would be destroyed by the ashes that could be bombarded on the tank, this off-road vehicle that looked like an ant in front of the tank could also be directly crushed by the other party. Therefore, Nanbo can choose to release the distress model bomb, hoping that the other party can see it and stop......
"Your Highness, there is an off-road vehicle in front of us that sends us a distress signal, General Sun asks you whether to help?" Leng Lingye, who had been guarding the living room, walked into the study and reported to Jiang Baiyuan, who was reviewing the report.
In the luxurious suite in the center of the chariot "Yin", Jiang Baiyuan, who was reviewing the report, naturally didn't know that it was the young man who made a deep impression on him - Nan Bo who sent the distress signal, and he didn't know how much impact his next choice would have on his fate.
"Let General Sun send someone to check the situation, and if the other party is really in trouble, give them the necessary help." Jiang Baiyuan thought for a moment, took a sip of black tea by the way, and then added: "By the way, by the way, please invite Senior Brother Wu to come over." ”
"Yes." Leng Lingye bowed his head and made a standard retreat, and then withdrew.
"Hey......" Looking at Leng Lingye's somewhat emaciated back, Jiang Baiyuan wanted to say something, but after all, he just sighed helplessly and continued to return to work.
"Yin" is 357 meters long, 54 meters wide, is a waterway and air amphibious super warship, under the auspices of Helena, the Royal Institute of Ancient Machinery took 16 years to just manufacture the country's heavy weapon, this trip to the Western Wilderness, is also regarded as a maiden voyage.
The reason why Nanbo sees it as a chariot is certainly not because he is lonely and short-sighted. But because the chariot driving here now is only a part of the "Yin", it can be regarded as the "Yin" land battle form, after all, the 357-meter behemoth has many inconveniences on land.
Therefore, "Yin" has 3 forms, only the naval battle is the complete form, the land battle form battleship will break away from most of the hull, into a 77-meter-long, 29-meter-high 5-story giant tank, and the air combat form is also up to 61 meters long, but out of the base of the tank, it becomes more flattened, only 2 layers of 11 meters thick.
But no matter which form it takes, the bridge at the top will always be the core location of the "Yin", which is not only the command room, but also the location where the three huge energy cores with a diameter of about 2 meters are stored.
"Let the third team go and see, if there is any situation, report it directly to the prince, don't bother me."
Sun Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat raised in the center of the bridge command room, replied with some displeasure after listening to the instructions of the prince conveyed by the adjutant.
I could hear that my chief officer was in a very bad mood, but Adjutant Li still breathed a sigh of relief, and the conflict just now was successfully resolved.
He didn't say anything more, and immediately went to convey Sun Zheng's order, but changed "report directly to the prince" to "report to the prince as soon as possible", this subtle change, which seems simple, actually contains Li Yi's political wisdom as a senior adjutant.
The adjutant is the lubricant, especially when you have a chief officer with a temper as hard as a cow, coordination is especially important for the adjutant, and Li Yi, who can serve as a typical iron-blooded soldier and the ten-year adjutant of the notoriously short-tempered Sun Zheng, is naturally a sleek person with exquisite faces.
Smooth as he was, of course, he did not forget to tell the other side of the conflict the outcome of the matter, the little girl who dared to confront his boss in front of him - Alicia.
Li Yi knows Sun Zheng's temperament very well, and knows that he despises the hunting of the Western Wilderness very much, and he will definitely ignore today's request for help, in other words, Li Yi will definitely not talk too much, but will only wait for later, carefully delete the relevant records, and wipe his ass for his captain.
However, since the little girl named Alicia also saw the distress signal and ran to the bridge to report it, the situation is different, it is not a good thing to see death and not save it anyway, besides, the prince is still on the ship, Li Yi also knows some of the prince's character, and he should not agree with the captain's decision.
And if this matter is not handled well, or if it is known by the media, it will definitely be caught by the parliamentary party, make a big fuss, and turn into a political incident.
Therefore, although it was clear that this little girl who did not know the depth of her impassioned and righteous words had angered the captain, he still had to face the anger and come out to persuade him. The best situation is, of course, to stop and help each other immediately, and then record the footage, and then write a good article about the military and civilian family and send it to the media.
Li Yi, who knew his captain's temper well, did not dare to implement this perfect plan in his opinion, but tried to persuade Sun Zheng to report the matter to the crown prince, and on the other hand, tried to appease Alicia, who was so angry that her face was red, that she persuaded her to leave the bridge.
But fortunately, things went well, the captain adopted his opinion, and the little girl who boarded the ship with the prince and couldn't figure out the background didn't mess around, and after getting the promise, she went back to the room and waited for news.
At present, as long as the rescue problem is handled well, this small and small emergency can be regarded as a successful solution, so Adjutant Li, who has always been cautious, did not shake his hand and still paid close attention to the feedback from the third team that set off for rescue. When he learned that the other party was not able to hunt, but a civilian and a child who was dying of snake venom, after a short period of thought, he made a decisive decision to let the injured and the child board Yin for rescue, but the thoughtful Li Yi did not forget that "Yin" belonged to a military secret, and let the third team blindfold the other party.
The other party is not capable of hunting, even if the captain of the boarding ship will not care too much, the dying civilians and the children lost in the shadow area, no matter which one is easy to win people's sympathy, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always loved the people.
Such a decisive handling will not offend the captain, but also be able to please the prince, Li Yi thinks about it, and feels that the handling is full of political wisdom and is very wise.
Facts have proved that Li Yi's decision is indeed very wise, but it has nothing to do with his political wisdom, it is just luck, but when Li Yi realized this, it was a long time later. And now he is still intoxicated with his infinite admiration for his political wisdom.
