Chapter 112: The Gully and the Trebuchet
The ruins are very old, but the row of trebuchets doesn't seem to have been affected much by the passage of time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Every time the stones are thrown, they make an awkward "squeak" sound, as if they will fall apart at some point, but they still meticulously execute the commands from the controller.
The stone projectiles continued to shoot out, and gradually piled up into a hill at the landing point in the rear.
In the midst of this dense barrage, Ollie held the giant sword in both hands, the tip of the sword pointing downward, and slowly stood up.
"Smack!"
A stone bullet hit her in the shoulder, and Ollie didn't even shake it in the light of her diamond skin.
She smiled and dashed out, faster and faster, reaching its apex at the edge of the ravine.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that a slender body wearing a full set of heavy armor could be so lightweight?
Ollie kicked hard at the edge of the ravine, and the whole person jumped high, easily crossed the deep ditch nearly four meters wide, and landed firmly next to the nearest trebuchet.
Without pause, she raised her greatsword to her chest with both hands, and stabbed the main shaft in the center of the trebuchet with the impact of the leap she had just made.
Here, is the heart of the whole trebuchet.
With the breakage of the main shaft, the entire trebuchet collapsed instantly, and the catapult rod, which had lost its support, shook from side to side a few times, and was crooked to one side. Other parts, such as winches and pulleys, were scattered around and could no longer move.
Get one. Ollie gasped for a moment, and the other four trebuchets were still firing stone projectiles. She looked back, only to find that she was the only one in a fighting state.
Nora stood at the edge of the ravine in a daze, the Living Flame could have flown over, but she herself could not have jumped as far as Ollie in any way.
Daniel was eager to try, and his junior, Mores, grabbed his arm and dragged him back while persuading.
As for Crete, he leaned on the pillar with his shoulders on his shoulders and did not move at all.
Ollie sighed, it seems that this ditch must be solved first. Her gaze turned to Soban, a researcher at the Imperial Laboratory, a few paces away.
Soban wasn't stupid, of course, and he was already retreating when Ollie leaped over the ravine. At the same time, his hands did not stop, still fiddling with several controllers.
But Ollie was looking at the one hanging from his waist. It was this controller that made this ditch when they were preparing to attack. It's a lap smaller than the other controllers, and she won't be mistaken.
If Soban completely relinquishes control of the catapult and turns around and runs, it might cause a little trouble for Ollie. But now, when he found out that the other party's target had shifted from the trebuchet to himself, it was a little too late to run.
Soban followed Ollie's gaze, instantly figured out what the other party wanted, and immediately made a move.
As Ollie rushed over, he reached for the controller of the deep gully, flicking it to the bottom of the gully.
If this thing falls and there is no replacement, then it will be really difficult for the others to come over. Ollie didn't think much about it, made an emergency stop, and then popped back, and the moment the controller fell to the edge of the deep ditch, he steadily reached out and grabbed it, and pulled down the switch.
The ravine that had held everyone else back was closing.
With such a slowdown, Soban also turned his head and rushed towards the depths of the temple.
But five meters later, he had to make an emergency brake, and he staggered and rolled to the right on the ground.
It wasn't that Soban had changed his mind temporarily, but at this moment, several criss-crossing flame fences suddenly appeared in front of him.
Nora held the half-stripped garnet necklace in her left hand and controlled the flame with her right hand, quickly turning the flame fence into a flame cage.
Daniel had suffered the loss of this thing, and was far behind, and instead of stepping forward, he and Mores smashed the remaining four catapults to pieces.
"What about this man?" Nora trapped the man, and then ran out of ideas. Lukka wasn't there, so she had to look at Ollie.
"Don't be soft-hearted, he was going to kill Lukka just now!" Ollie walked over with his greatsword, and through the flame cage, he raised his hands and stabbed him head-on.
In the scorching heat of the living flames, Soban couldn't even dodge, and he closed his eyes.
However, Ollie's greatsword did not pierce his body.
At that moment, the ancient pattern on the ground suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
Soban waited for a long time, but didn't hear any movement. He slowly opened his eyes, only to find that he could not see anything. It took a few seconds for his vision to recover from the bright light.
And Ollie and the others opposite him seemed to be suddenly attracted by something, some kept muttering to themselves, some waved their arms wildly, and some even howled and cried.
After a moment of surprise, Soban was swallowed by the white light.
He had completely forgotten the ruins of the ocean floor, the vast array of controllers on the ground, and the enemies and flame cages around him.
It was as if he had returned to the Imperial Laboratory in Shining Springs, to his cramped office. On the workbench in front of him, the experiment records were stacked in a messy stack.
The sound of hurried footsteps rang in his ears, and several faces appeared in the doorway that he didn't want to see anyway. It was his colleagues who had always looked down on him unpleasantly, and if it weren't for their ostracism, Soban wouldn't have been in the company of the Black Sail Pirates.
At this moment, he saw Anne Cecil, the colleague he hated the most, the shameless old woman, come up and reach out and take all his experimental records.
"This is mine, don't worry, I'll give it to the above. "By my name, of course." ”
Soban was furious, and if there was one moral code he had to follow, it would be that he would never approve of such blatant plagiarism and plagiarism.
He angrily lunged at the other party, trying to grab the hem of the other party's wide skirt and take back his research results.
But his fingers stretched out forward suddenly burned, and then the whole person burst into flames.
All this is just a deceptive illusion, but the flame cage is real.
Accompanied by the smell of burning, Soban's body turned into a pile of charcoal.
Then, the flame cage gradually extinguished.
Nora didn't see what happened to Soban, and the fire elves were still immersed in illusions, perhaps something else caught her attention, and the flame cage turned back into a few living flames, circling back and forth around her.
In the entire temple, it seemed that everyone was swayed by the sudden vision, whispering incomprehensibly and making inexplicable movements.
Except in the depths of the temple, Edward Hugh was in the center of the huge pattern on the ground.
