Chapter 695: The Great Retreat of Soft Maple City (1) (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
Almost," Quis contacted Naru with his psychic ability, "to give the other party some breathing room." ”
The Ogre Strong Man lives up to his name as the "Master of Weapons", and although it is also the first time to pilot a mecha, the previous time of the fat mayor of Soft Maple City is much more brilliant.
Under his control, the Storm Mech was like a real storm, sweeping away the monsters that rushed into the city.
He had now turned on the second set of the mech's "Combat Module", turning into a large round iron ball that repeatedly crushed the rubble of the collapsed buildings.
All the monsters that failed to escape from Soft Maple City were crushed into "flat ground" along with the ruins of the building.
In the end, the mech stopped directly in the gap in the collapsed wall, firmly plugging the hole in the defense.
After his interpretation, all those who watched the monsters of the mecha battle had a new understanding of the "broken after".
"What's going on?" the fat mayor couldn't help but ask Quest as he looked at the ogre who came out of the mecha.
Although he lowered his voice, he still couldn't hide the anger in it. As the excavator of the Storm Mech, and the only pilot in the past, the Soft Maple Mayor seems to have considered the Mech to be his personal possession.
Therefore, when he saw that the mecha that had been locked first soared into the air, and then dressed on Nalu, and then jumped into the army of monsters and directly opened a "peerless", the soft maple mayor felt like a bottle of old vinegar that had been fermented for more than thirty years, and it was so sour that it was difficult to add it.
Storm Mecha ...... wanted to say the word "locked", but considering that the pod was really not very spacey, and the other mayors might be able to hear what he said, he could only ask vaguely, "...... You didn't make it. ”
"Of course not," Quest shrugged his shoulders, he didn't want to take the blame for the gnomes, "The first to come into contact with the storm mechs were the investigators from the dwarf islands. As he spoke, he pulled out a key engraved with the dwarf script, "This is the key they received from the master craftsman, and it is also a gift from the engineering goblin clan in ancient times when it was delivered. ”
Seeing that the fat mayor was a little clear, and at the same time still had a somewhat suspicious look, Quith continued to "explain": "The foundation of the Eternal Order Scale Chamber of Commerce is far beyond your imagination. For us, the ancient secrets are not as mysterious as you might think. The Storm Mech has been in use for over a hundred years, and the ancient Ramzae have long since learned the art of repairing it. And this mecha maintenance technology happens to be mastered by someone in our Chamber of Commerce. ”
The mayors of several other cities were already attracted by his words at this time, so Quith did not hesitate to promote his chamber of commerce, "Whether it is this storm mecha or other mechs that you may find, the Scales of Perpetuality Chamber of Commerce can provide them with good maintenance and repair...... As long as you can afford the right price. ”
"Why didn't that storm mech move? The pilot inside walked out because there was no fuel?" asked Green, the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army.
Actually, the answer is no. After being fused by the Clockwork Dragon, the Dragon's Soul itself is able to provide ample power to the Storm Mech. And when it had only fought less than half an hourglass, only about a third of the new light and heavy oil had been used. Without activating the third set of "Combat Modules", this mech actually had no problem fighting an hourglass.
It's just that Quest has his own plans. He didn't want the Alliance Army to see the power of the Storm Mecha, so they would continue to stay here and fight the Emperor's army. In the imagination of the young blue dragon, the confrontation with the emperor would be a major event that would mobilize all the human city-states in Ramsay's world, and this was related to his plan to deal with Stim in the future.
Therefore, he must get the army of the Five Cities Alliance to withdraw, and along the way, all the citizens of Soft Maple City will be dispersed, and let them go to the various human cities of Ramsay to spread the horror of the Emperor and his forces.
Thereupon......
"You're right," Quest confirmed Mayor Green's reasonable guess, "the amount of fuel that a war machine like the Storm Mech needs to operate is staggering. The battle at the half-hourglass just now had not only consumed all the fuel that all the alchemists in Soft Maple City had made together for two days, but the raw materials used in the city to refine that fuel had also bottomed out. ”
"What! That's ......"
His words made the hearts of the other mayors hang in their throats again. They've seen the power of monster armies. If there were no Storm Mecha that could match it, just relying on the army of the Five Cities Alliance to confront it would be no different from directly ordering the Alliance's army to send them to their deaths.
"So, we have to retreat," Quest's words surprised everyone, but it didn't make some sense, "and it's not just the army retreating. Taking advantage of the fact that the storm mecha has just shocked the monster army, it is now necessary to mobilize all the people of Soft Maple City to evacuate together. Using the army as a cover, we can evacuate more people. This also reduces the number of people who are captured by monsters and then twisted into new monsters. Emerald Wood City, Red Pine City, Black Willow City, and Lanfeng City were responsible for receiving these refugees, and at the same time established the Soft Maple City government-in-exile. Next, call on the entire human city-states of the Ramsay plane to join the alliance against the emperor. ”
In addition to retreating, Quest also made a suggestion that was quite in the style of the Bato Nine Prisons: "In addition to retreating, we must also fortify the wilderness and not leave the Emperor a city from which he can claim resources." Take away the food that can be taken away, and poison what you can't take away. Let the last alchemists leave, leaving enough horses and guards for them to fill the Soft Maple City with fiery glue and shock oil before leaving. When the monsters settle in the city, we'll raze them to the ground. ”
Although the mayor of Soft Maple actually disagreed with Queth's suggestion. But the situation is stronger than people, and not only the other mayors think it's a good idea, but even his mercenary captains approve of it.
"Rather than leave it to the monsters to wreak havoc, we should turn this city into their graves," the veteran replied to his employer, "and if it weren't for the lack of time, we'd better dig up the newly buried corpses and burn them." lest they all end up as monsters and turn around and fight us again. ”
