Chapter 519: The Red Dragon Strikes, and the Ability is Exposed
Ling Yi had a very rare and stable life for a few days, although from time to time there would be a kawaii girl who would send text messages to talk about it, but it was much better than being harassed early in the morning.
Relying on the words of a first-rate sophist, he is not afraid of being seen through his ideas.
To be honest, he's been annoyed these days.
It's not worry or fear, it's just a worry that I don't know how to deal with.
On the night when Heka and Krees were wiped out, Lisa who threw herself into her arms and the words she spit out, Ling Yi would remember when she closed her eyes, it was really unforgettable.
...... "You're okay, it's really good." β
...... "Thank God, really thank God." β
...... "You won't be allowed to do this in the future, you know?" Absolutely not! β
What is this?
Ling Yi shook his head, what annoyed him the most was this kind of emotional entanglement, so all along, he had always given the initiative to Tomorrow Nai, with Tomorrow Nai's character, it was destined to satisfy him, so there was no need to worry about it.
But Lisa is different.
He couldn't tell why it was different.
The only thing that can be asserted is that after that night, their relationship is no longer pure friendship.
"This is youth...... Is it? β
Flutter.
Ling Yi couldn't help laughing, is this some kind of Cheng dΓΉ reminiscing about his childhood? In fact, whether it was junior high school or high school, he has always been the kind of marginal person who is insulated from love.
Even if she looks good and has outstanding grades, there will be no girl upside down.
Because of intuition.
Yes, intuition, every girl who comes close to him will have a strong premonition that 'it will fail, or forget it'.
This may have something to do with his coldness, but it's better to get down to business.
The materials sent by Loki were quite sufficient, and Ling Yi planned to prepare a few more mountain-breaking swords in case of trouble. Speaking of which. The cremation ritual is worthy of being an expert magic trick used to deal with evil spirits and the like, and the guy from the [Burial Mechanism] didn't fool him.
There may be a chance to trade in the future.
With that in mind, he took the remote control at the bedside and read the daily news as usual.
"Wow, what a spectacular view."
Don't get me wrong, Ling Yi wasn't watching a travel show.
The footage shows a scene taken over the coastline of a certain place.
No matter which country in the world. One thing in common is a piece of news that will always be reported with the highest priority.
That is, dragon disasters caused by dragons that move around at will, regardless of borders, and the topic of damage prediction.
The picture that is being played now is related to the dragon plague.
However, the scale of this dragon plague can be described as unprecedented.
The surface of the sea is dyed white. If you look at the map shown on the right side of the screen, the scene is a place on the African continent near the equator, where it is impossible for the sea to freeze.
And in fact, whether it is the subtitles in the picture, or the news narrator. It didn't say that the ocean froze.
The news explains it this way: moving across the African continent to Basilisk, the coastline, turning the surrounding ocean into salt flats.
A few hours later, just after the end of the morning class, Lisa sent a text message asking her to come to Brunhilde's classroom immediately.
Looking at the short sentence on the screen, Ling Yi wanted to smash his personal terminal, but the relationship that he had finally adjusted was almost broken again, and if he continued like this. It is estimated that the ontology has not completely lost itself, and he is about to become a madman.
"I can't be swayed by this little thing in my character. Could it be that this is also one of the side effects of the erosion and assimilation of the [First Law]? It's really troublesome. β
Ling Yi felt a sense of irritability surging in his heart, and he vaguely smelled an aura of conspiracy, but he couldn't find any definite evidence.
The plan must be hurried and cannot be dragged on.
With that in mind, he went to the Brunhilde classroom.
"Yikes. Everybody's here. β
Ling Yi smiled refreshingly and waved his hand to say hello.
The others cast kind glances, but Lisa gave him a bad look.
"Come and sit down, really, I'll be waiting for you alone."
Sit down?
Ling Yi really wanted to ask why this large classroom with only a few people had to sit next to you. However, some things became more and more troublesome the more I thought about them, so I had to pretend that nothing had happened, and instead of sitting down, I naturally sat in the back row of the classroom with a chair, right between Monobe Yu and Elise.
These two people are very good-tempered guys, especially Elise, who almost said welcome to Ling Yi when she saw Ling Yi coming.
Yu Monobe smiled wryly, forcing himself to ignore Lisa's murderous gaze, wondering why he was also hit by an arrow while sitting on his knee.
"All hands are here, now let's start explaining the situation -- I think you've all seen it in the media that Basilisk is finally starting to cross the sea."
The solemn proclamation from the podium was Haruka Shinomiya, the commander of operations in Midgar.
"Considering that it is difficult for him to swim physically, Basilisk chose to turn the ocean into a salt flat, and chose the shortest distance to continue to [Midgar] without passing through Eurasia. It is estimated that it will be possible to cross the Indian Ocean and cross the Indonesian archipelago in a month. But this state of affairs was expected. Both Midgar and Nifuel have their own plans to deal a decisive blow to Basilisk and are fully prepared. β
After experiencing the baptism of fire of Leviathan, Heka and Cress, everyone was much calmer and more confident, so there was no tragic atmosphere when Leviathan attacked.
"The dragon team of this plan is scheduled to be composed of the Ben BrΓΌnnhilt classroom as the core. I'm afraid I'll choose almost everyone in this class. Therefore, let's briefly explain the plan. β
Almost?
Ling Yi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wu You as if inadvertently, and found that he was also slightly stunned, and suddenly his heart was relieved.
It seems that [Midgar] is on the safe side and does not intend to let Tia. Legnint enters the war.
But that's fine, he'd rather clean up two Leviathans or Heka and Krees in one go than face two Basilisk.
Its abilities, seriously, are tricky.
Even if the main body is out of the horse, it is not necessarily useful. "Basilisk can use the red light emitted from his eyes to turn the objects of his gaze into stone, sand, and dust. and salt heaps. Its firing range is close to five kilometers, so it cannot be directly opposite it. So there needs to be something to cover their gaze. But there is not the slightest shelter at sea. Therefore, [Midgar] believes that the plan of luring Basilisk to an uninhabited island off the coast and then blowing up the entire island is the most effective. β
Hearing this, the energetic girl Ellera raised her hand and asked.
"How do you lure Basilisk?"
"Tia will be temporarily transferred to that island. Since Basilisk is here with his eyes on Tia-san, he will definitely move there with him. Before Basilisk, of course, arrived. Tia will be taken away. β
"That sounds like it works."
Arira lowered her hand with relief.
Then it was Fillel's turn to raise her hand and continue to ask questions.
ββ¦β¦ Isn't there a chance that the island will be wiped out in an instant once it comes into view of Basilissk? β
"From the information available so far, even if the trees that hindered Basilisk's progress would turn to dust, the terrain would not change. It should be said that even if you are bathed in red flashes, the earth will not change much. β
ββ¦β¦ That said, Basilisk's red flash was not a pure fire attack. β
Shinomiya nodded solemnly.
"Yes, there have been many hypotheses about Basilisk's ability so far, but this time due to the large amount of information obtained. So it's basically time to determine the direction. The most credible hypothesis should be available before the plan is implemented. β
Basilisk's capabilities have not yet been fully proven. It's because I stayed in the desert for 20 years and didn't go out, so I couldn't do anything about it.
So far, Basilisk is a dragon that is fine as long as you don't approach it. Of course, it is intolerable for countries that have been encircled by Basilsk, and in terms of countermeasures, it is enough to keep a certain distance. So that nothing happens. Since you can't do anything, you can't do it to collect a number of jΓΉ.
This practice was not a problem until recently.
I'm afraid that the training for the Basilisk battle conducted by the dragon team so far has been based on the assumption that Basilisk will not leave the desert.
There is no way around it, who would have thought that the situation would change so much.
"In this battle, Monobe stayed in [Midgar]."
Seeing that no one was asking, Shinomiya announced a startling announcement.
"Huh?!"
But the only one who was surprised by this was Yu Monobe himself.
Everyone else seems to know what's going on. Therefore, there is no intention to refute.
"Wait, teacher. Why did you want to keep me? β
Yu Monobe felt unacceptable.
At this time, Shenyue said:
"What is needed for the plan is a strong attack force. Although my brother has a dragon weapon, he said that he can't use it on a ship or in the air without a stable foothold, right? β
"...... said Although yes. β
Monobe, who was poked in the sore spot, was speechless for a moment.
A dragon weapon made from someone else's superior element is, at best, the main cannon body of a lost weapon known as the sun god. Therefore, many functions are incomplete and have a bad foothold. Not to mention whether the target can be named, the recoil of the shelling alone is enough to give a headache.
"Let's blow up the island with Basilisk, and the attack launch point is naturally on the ship. There is no place where the elder brother comes in handy. In terms of taking care of Tia, Lisa is more than competent. Even if the firepower is insufficient, isn't there still Mr. Zigger? β
Deep Moon made up for the final blow.
"Uh......"
Yu Monobe's expression was very entangled. What Fukatsuki said makes a lot of sense. But I can't just accept it so easily. Because when Shenyue wants to come here, in order to stop it in time, you must stay by her side.
While racking his brains to think of an excuse to follow, Monobe Yu glared at Ling Yi desperately, signaling to help, big brother.
Ling Yi unexpectedly didn't disappoint him this time.
"I have objections to the arrangement of excluding the Ministry of Things."
"Please."
"Are you sure that Basilisk has no other abilities hidden?"
"This-?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.
Shinnomiya Haruka and Fukatsuki glanced at each other, and Fukatsuki asked in a deep voice:
"Did Mr. Ziggy get any information? Or is it just your personal judgment. β
"My personal judgment is correct, but I'm still the question, can you guarantee that things will turn out the way you think? Think about Heka and Kreis who suddenly teleported from the other side of the world to [Midgar] a few days ago, before that, who knew that it had this ability, as well as body changes, arm elongation and super-speed regeneration, it seems that before this, there were only rumors that it would not be killed, and there was no instance of resurrection on the spot after being killed. β
Other words. Ling Yi came to a conclusion without hesitation.
"-- Once in a combat situation, anything can happen. We can't be prepared for everything, so we have to think about the worst-case scenario first and put a few insurance policies in place. Bringing Monobe Yu is equivalent to an extra insurance, what do you think, Colonel Shinomiya? β
"I have to admit that there is some truth in your analysis, the plan can never catch up with the changes, not to mention that it is good to have an extra layer of insurance. Well, retract the preface, and Yu Monobe joins the dragon team. β
Haruka Shinomiya said with a deep groan.
Good!
Wu You shouted in his heart, and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi waved his hand very indifferently, but he knew Basilisk's hole cards, it was difficult for him to clean up that big guy with thick skin and strong destructive power, and he really couldn't have the dragon armor of Monobe Yu.
Although he didn't want to let Yggdrasil erode the Ministry of Things, he couldn't care about it so much if the situation developed to that point.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how many times the erosion is, as long as the control is done properly, it won't be succeeded by the Yuktrasil.
"By the way, it is said that in the last battle, Lieutenant Ziggy saved all the members of the dragon slayer with a repulsion field, if it is correct, it should be Leviathan's ability." Haruka Shinnomiya asked suddenly.
The classmates turned their heads to look at Ling Yi one after another, and Lisa showed even more undisguised worries.
She didn't think it was a good thing to be involved with dragons.
This is not the first time this has happened.
Shen Yue's eyes looking at Ling Yi were quite complicated, as if she was looking at her own kind.
"Well, yes. After killing the Leviathan, I had an inexplicable scar on my chest, and I also had the ability of [universal repulsion], which to be honest, I also found it very incomprehensible. β
Ling Yi admitted bluntly.
"I'm very interested in this, and I hope you can cooperate with us."
Considering Ling Yi's identity and position, Xiao Gong Yao didn't dare to say anything, you have to cooperate unconditionally, otherwise how can you ......
"No problem, getting a check-up will help me too, won't it? I just hope those researchers don't get scared. β
Ling Yi agreed very happily.
And his words, it wasn't until a few hours later that Shinamiya Haruka understood the meaning.
(In the next world, everyone can take it as an outsider and ask for recommendation votes to support!) (To be continued......)
