Chapter 7: The Three-Way Defeat
In December of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, the suburbs of the central capital of Altino
Successfully firing the Tongtian cannon, Jinao Island was not able to successfully end the war, but fell into another stalemate.
The Tongtian Cannon was not made by Zhu Yan, he had never seen the design drawings, and he didn't even have the ability to copy one, he just excavated this ancient weapon from the ground and operated it. Because of this, his understanding of these weapons is far less profound than that of his junior sister Ailing, and he is also insufficient in terms of changes and strains in use.
If he had been a little stronger in the knowledge of the Ancient Demon Dao and had a better understanding of the principles of the Heavenly Cannon, then he would not be at a loss for now, but would have taken a practical approach to try to interrupt the stalemate between the Heavenly Cannon and the Primordial Cannon. And if he did, he would find that the main control room was no longer able to operate the Babel Cannon, all orders were nullified, and there was no way to stop the Babel Cannon being fired.
For the demon side that caused this situation, it was a pity that the exquisitely designed poison plan was not discovered. It is true that the demon clan does not have the talents of the ancient demon path, and no one knows how to write electronic viruses, but all the laws in the world have their way, and the use of some special demon animals and plants to assimilate with metals and electronic pipelines can still cause the same effect within a certain period of time. It's just that in order to create this "effect within a certain period of time", the demons have spent more than six hundred years researching related technologies.
The same situation also appeared in the Titanic Fortress, and the Yuan Shi Cannon being fired was also out of control, but compared to the ignorance of Jinao Island, not only Ailing knew about it in the Titanic Fortress, but all the people on the bridge knew this.
“...... After launching the program, be prepared to withstand the shock. When the two guns were fired, all the crew on board contacted each other with a code, abandoned ship and escaped......"
There is no need to overhaul, no need to think about how to respond, including everyone in Ailing, who is doing things according to the words that run out line after line on the screen.
Who are these programs and texts hidden in the system of Titanic One, Ailing really doesn't know, but looking at the green words that quickly run out, Ailing seems to be able to hear a voice speaking.
It was a very slow voice, with a feeling of weakness, as if it was tired, and did not have the strength to say superfluous words, but when it explained the implementation steps, there was a majesty that no one could question, and people could not help but believe that as long as they did what he said, everyone would be safe and sound, and the situation would improve.
"Abandon ship!"
At this time, abandon the ship and run outside, which is an act of looking for death, but the abandonment instructions on the screen have a thorough method, allowing Ailing to open the entrance and exit under the bridge, turn on the Titanic 1's ground-drilling function, and quickly dig out the passage, everyone puts on protective clothing, and follows Ailing to escape from the ground, without contact with the air at all, and is not harmed by the energy storm.
"Three minutes after the double cannon attack, the realm tunnel was officially transformed and opened; eight minutes, the fortress system was on the verge of load limit; in 12 minutes and 37 seconds, the main energy furnace of the fortress exceeded the load and began to explode......"
The text on the screen lists all the results of the two cannon strikes, and the time is not to show off, but to let everyone know the escape time. Ailing didn't know much at first, until he looked at the word "realm tunnel" twice, and then he knew that the Titanic Fortress was about to blow up, so he hurriedly ordered the crew to abandon the ship and escape.
These predictions that are happening make Ailing feel both surprised and admired, but what really makes her feel cold sweat on her back is these words that ran out later.
"When the enemy mantis mission is completed, it will inevitably hide in Titanic and reap the profits, and in order to avoid extraneous branches, the possible hiding places are all in the back cabin. When the main reactor is on the verge of load limit, the relevant hatch is automatically locked and the final program is started. ”
This line of writing made everyone's scalp tingle, because it not only pointed out the presence of spies in the Titanic fortress, but also pointed out the location of the enemy's hiding. This is not so much an expectation, it is simply to dig a pit for the enemy to jump, because after the transformation of the Titanic Fortress, there are only a few places where people can actually move, and if the spy wants to avoid the crowd, he can only hide in the rear cargo hold where no one will go in wartime, and once the location is determined, the result is to be caught in the urn.
However, since this spy can sneak in, he must also take into account the state that must be forcibly corrected by force when planning the situation, in other words, this infiltrator's martial arts may be the best in the enemy, if he encounters a strong man like Dorgon, it is not only not a turtle in the urn, but no one in the entire fortress is his opponent, so the last line of words is very meaningful.
Most of the hatches are closed, leaving only a few that can still be opened, and when the reactor explodes, the impact power and flames will be guided along the "route" and blasted to the designated position as soon as possible.
Without the process of compression, strengthening, etc., the power of the reactor explosion is far less than the first blow of the Yuan Shi Cannon, but it can transform the vitality of heaven and earth, and the reaction furnace that supplies the Yuan Shi Cannon to launch exploded, and the lethality is still enough to make all the heavenly martial artists change their color when they hear the words, although they don't know where the infiltrator is sacred, but Ailing self-assessment, in the state of T1000 full power, in the power of the explosion, the consequences are really nine deaths.
The scary thing is that the people hiding in the back compartment probably won't notice this now. Under the chaotic interference of the energy storm, the Celestial Heart Consciousness can detect the distance, but usually no one makes an effort to eliminate the interference to confirm whether the front section of the fortress that is "supposed to be busy" with the war is empty.
"I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the enemy......"
"Dean, all the brethren have left Titanic One. ”
Because of the concern about Ailing's personality, several cadres led by Huang Fuping did not tell Ailing that several academicians had not shown up for a long time, and it was estimated that she had been killed, so as not to run back to save people and delay the big event.
"Alright, all the crew of Titanic One, come with me to give my final salute to the mothership. ”
Having arrived at the hastily dug escape crypt, Ailing raised his hand and expressed his final thanks to the dean's ship that had fought with him.
"Dean, the drill responded, it seems that the tunnel that connects to the middle capital itself has been dug. Those Bailu Cave scholars are really crazy, the instrument shows that the entire Zhongdu City is a hundred miles inside and outside, and the underground has been dug up in a mess, and it will collapse within a few months, and it can't live at all!"
"How can you say that people are crazy? Don't talk any more, and everyone get out of here as soon as they have the chance. ”
Ailing hurriedly urged his subordinates to escape. The terrifying power of the reactor explosion, simply digging a hole and hiding in the ground, the consequence will definitely be to bury everyone alive, but if you can connect to the underground buildings of the capital itself, then you can be safe. The people who designed this whole tactic even thought of this for Ailing.
(Thank you so much, unknown kind gentleman...... )
Ailing thanked him silently, closed the exit of the tunnel with his backhand, obscured the skylight, and caught up with the team members as quickly as possible and rushed to the underground tunnel.
All the members of Titanic Fortress escaped, but on the other side of Jinao Island, there was no such good luck. Without guidance, Zhu Yan was more than half a beat slower than Ailing in predicting the possibility of a two-gun attack, and because of this, he had time to witness a strange scene with his own eyes.
"Director Zhu Yan! There was a space-time earthquake in the nearby space!"
"Impossible! The enemy's main artillery is firing, and it is impossible for them to activate the space-time transfer at this time!"
In this day, there were so many impossible things that could not have happened, even Zhu Yan's voice sounded a little hysterical, but this time he was not wrong, the area where the space-time earthquake occurred was not the Titanic Fortress, but the space-time gap above the two fortresses.
I don't know when it has turned into a huge realm tunnel, Zhu Yan clearly understands this from the display of the instrument; thirty seconds later, he finally figured out the reason why the realm tunnel was formed, and wanted to order his subordinates to try to stop the main cannon firing, but at this time, a "flowing firefly" appeared in the sky.
On the dark canopy, drifting flashes with a little flash, purple, red, green, yellow, white, blue, a variety of different colors flickering on the dark canopy, full of colors, it is very good-looking, just like a little bit of fireflies flying, in order to add romance to the sky full of black clouds.
But those flashes aren't fireflies!
The image was enlarged on the screen, and everyone screamed in unison, only to see all kinds of demonic creatures flying out of the realm tunnel quickly, most of them were wings or wings, but some were "cavalry" riding flying creatures. The appearance of various creatures is strange, mainly humanoid, with various racial variations of heads and limbs, bird-like, animal-shaped, insect-shaped, and crustacean shapes. These demon creatures who have not seen the light of day for a long time have descended into the world again after two thousand years of absence!
"Oh no!
Seeing that the demon creatures that passed through the realm tunnel were almost fully armed, all of them were murderous, and it was obvious that they were the army of the demon race, Zhu Yan suddenly realized and understood the enemy's intentions, but it was too late, and another, worse news also came.
"Zhu, Director Zhu Yan! The Tongtian cannon continues to fire, and the main reactor is overwhelmed and is about to explode!"
This should be a matter of course, but just now everyone panicked and confused their minds, so they ignored this fact that it would definitely happen. On the other hand, Zhu Yan also thought that if the battle between the two fortresses was deliberately facilitated by a third party, then after the realm tunnel was opened, Shi Chong would definitely not let threats like the Tongtian Cannon and the Yuan Shi Cannon remain, and the best way was to let the two fortresses be destroyed together after the realm tunnel was opened, which was the situation he was in now.
Even if he understands this, it is too late in time, compared to Ailing, who has already retreated, Zhu Yan has only started to shout retreat now, the problem is that everyone knows that the volume of Jinao Island is much larger than the Titanic Fortress, and it is floating in the air, and it is hastily said that it is going to evacuate and escape, where to disperse? Where to escape?
Time was fleeting, and after a moment's hesitation, the entire Jinao Island began to shake violently, and a roaring sound came from afar, and the sound of fire and explosion quickly approached this side.
At the same time, the Titanic Fortress in the distance also burst into flames, at first only a few flames flickered in the fortress shell, but the flames quickly turned into a line of fire, cutting the entire fortress from it, followed by an incomparably blazing fireball, completely engulfing the entire Titanic Fortress.
(Little junior sister...... )
Regardless of the danger he was in, the moment he witnessed the explosion of the Titanic Fortress, Zhu Yan couldn't help but be terrified when he thought of Ailing who was in it. However, another scene caught his attention.
On the right side of Titanic Fortress, the Origin Cannon, which was ridiculed as an "ornament" by the Titani Fortress, suddenly adjusted its upward elevation angle a moment before the explosion. It stands to reason that due to the confrontation between the Yuan Shi Cannon and the Tongtian Cannon on the left, there is no energy source for another cannon in the Titanic Fortress, and it is too late to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi again, but under the ingenuity of the designer, when the main reactor of the Titanic Fortress explodes, the entire blasting energy is directed to two places.
One of them is catharsis towards the rear cabin. Zhu Yan saw with his own eyes that a terrifying flame whirlwind blasted and incinerated the entire rear cabin in an instant, first being blasted into the air by the power of the explosion, most of the metal was twisted and melted, and then it was wrapped and swallowed by the second wave of flame whirlwind. Look at the terrible momentum, if you were in it, you would definitely die a very miserable death.
But the main blasting energy was sent to the Yuan Shi Cannon on the right, and the dead and cold muzzle suddenly emitted a dazzling bright light. The shock wave that burst into the rear cabin, due to the narrow exit, while destroying the rear cabin crazily, also recoiled back towards the front cabin, directing the Yuan Shi Cannon on the right side, when the two impact energies merged again, it was like a firing pin hitting a bullet, and the explosion exploded with incredible power.
"Bump~~ Boom!"
The heat energy generated in an instant is not something that any metal or forging technology in the world can withstand, and the turret of the Yuan Shi Cannon and the surrounding buildings were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a dazzling glare that gathered all the power, like a fire feather arrow from the sun, cutting through the darkness all the way and shooting into the sky.
In the bright light of the sky, there is a particularly deep and vast deep hole, which is the realm tunnel that the demons spent thousands of years and countless efforts to open, and more than a million demon armies are passing through it and come to the human world.
It was a magnificent scene that is difficult to describe in words, the final blow of the Yuan Shi Cannon, hitting the realm tunnel impartially, like stuffing ten great suns into a black hole in the sky in one go, enough to burn the retina of everyone who looks directly into the bright light, turning into a flame streamer, burning the entire sky into fiery red.
The firelight stained the sky red, but in the eyes of many people, the red glow that was more poignant than the sunset was not firelight, but bloodlight! The army of millions of demons who were passing through the realm tunnel was caught off guard by this shelling, among them there were many warriors with excellent martial arts, and there were also many demonic beasts that ordinary human armies could not match, and during the Kyushu War, they had made the warriors of the human realm suffer a lot, but when they encountered that strong light, those so-called super martial arts, thick scale armor, and anti-magic physique were all meaningless.
Even if several Zhaitian rank martial artists joined forces to form a protective shield, it would be impossible to resist the blow of the Yuan Shi Cannon beyond the limit; if this was a vast space, those high-speed flying monsters and demons might still be able to dodge and escape under the bombardment of the Yuan Shi Cannon, but in the closed realm tunnel, there was no place to escape, to dodge, no matter in front or behind they were blocked by their companions, everyone only got a fair second, and after a second, the bright light and shock wave swept everyone away.
The army of millions of demons was destroyed in one fell swoop, even though they were far away, Zhu Yan could still clearly sense that at the moment of the tragic death of the millions of demon compatriots, their unwillingness, resentment, stunned, and frightened, the silent howls formed by the convergence of these emotions came across the space, tearing the hearts and lungs of every demon person.
“...... Too...... It's brutal......"
Hoarse, Zhu Yan muttered low words, staring blankly at the sky. The next moment, a deafening explosion came closer, and in the terrible screams of his comrades in the main control room, the dazzling light of fire engulfed and covered his entire person.
On the outskirts of the central capital, the battle between fortress and fortress can be called the most widespread battle in the Wind Continent for thousands of years. Not only were the casualties unprecedentedly heavy, but the amount of energy that affected the Heaven and Earth Vitality was so great that it had a drastic impact on the entire environment, far exceeding every Heavenly Position Battle since the Arambat Demon Earthquake.
When this war was going on, not only did the central capital city become a war zone within a radius of hundreds of miles, but the entire Eltino had earthquakes of varying sizes, and Reins, Wulian, and the Free City Alliance were all affected, causing some natural disasters, but the really serious place was not the Wind Continent itself, but the sea off Reyns.
If the energy causes an earthquake, if it is pure land, the damage will only occur at the moment when the ground is cracked, but if the earthquake occurs in the ocean, a large amount of seawater will pour in the cracked ground, and then affect the nearby currents, the consequences will be out of control.
At this time, fishing boats and merchant ships that were fishing off the coast of Reyns were the first victims of this wave of rough seas. Not every ship is so unlucky, though.
Thousands of miles away from the coastline of Reins, there was a lonely boat coming from the far east, slowly crossing the sea, heading towards Reins, when the wind and waves at sea suddenly became unusually strong, the boatman on the boat showed a look of surprise, because this was not the wind and waves that normal weather should have, the situation was very strange, the boatman had to remind the passengers in the cabin to be prepared for the wind and waves.
"Be careful, it's a bit weird. There is usually no danger in this place, but sometimes the wind and waves are so big that they can scare people to death. ”
"Oh, how scary?"
"You must not believe it, but the last time I sailed through here, there was a big island here, an island country called Japan, and this time I sailed here, I felt strange from far away, I couldn't see Japan, and then I asked the nearby seabirds, and I knew that Japan had sunk...... Now you know how scary the waves are!"
"I've seen a lot of murderous waves, it's not a big deal, but it's the boatman who really scared me, I've been on so many boats, and it's the first time I've met a boatman who can talk to seabirds, it's really scary!"
"Guest, you are so timid, I don't think you are in good health, right? Obviously you have a young face, and the color of your hair is so strange, I have carried a lot of guests, and it is the first time I have met silver hair like you, and ah...... If you are injured, you have to find a doctor, you have a bunch of bandages in your luggage, and you keep bandaging them along the way, how can the injury be good like this?"
“...... Boatman, you should go ahead and talk to the seabirds, your instigation reminds me of a certain Sheter friend. ”
The boatman and the passenger obviously did not speculate, but just as they gave up the conversation, another wave struck, this time the wave was far stronger in scale and strength than before. The force that caused the sea to shake violently did not seem to come from afar, but from the bottom of the sea.
The angry waves lifted the sky, the turbid waves emptied, and the boat was sent to the peak of the waves again and again in the waves of fierce waves, and the danger was full of dangers. In such a bad situation, the boatman firmly held the oars and steered the boat very steadily, revealing an extraordinary good martial arts, but no matter how steady he went, in the face of the huge waves, it was much more difficult for him to break through the waves.
"Guest, the situation ahead is not right!"
It is indeed not right, in the midst of the raging waves, many sharp rocks break through the water, and quickly rise high, after a certain scale, anyone can see clearly, these are not rocks, but mountain peaks, from the bottom of the sea The strata rise rapidly, and after the peaks, the land gradually emerges.
In fact, not long ago, this land was an island nation called "Japan", which sank to the bottom of the sea due to people's ambitions and battles, and now, because of the changes in the heaven and earth energy of the Wind Continent, it has risen from the bottom of the deep sea again.
The impact is not simply to say, because volcanic eruptions, magma eruptions, and tsunamis, caused by rapid changes in strata, are making a mess of the surrounding seas, and the scope of the disaster is rapidly expanding outward, and it is unlikely that it will soon affect Reyns directly.
The heavens and the earth changed greatly, and a small boat seemed to sink at any time in the stormy waves, and in such a harsh environment, a new voice came from the cabin.
"Boatman, is it possible to go a little faster?"
"Impossible, Mr. bin Laden, this is already the fastest!
The boatman replied, explaining the situation, and the two passengers in the cabin began to say goodbye.
"Send you thousands of miles, it's almost delivered to your own door, are you really not going back with me?"
"I am a terrorist and a prodigal, and since I chose to leave, I will not go back. ”
"No exceptions?"
"Maybe, when I really conquer the world one day, maybe I'll come back triumphantly. ”
"Ha, then cherish each other, and hope that your old comrades-in-arms can conquer the world one day. ”
Laughing loudly, a silver Xueliang figure shot out like an arrow, and left the boat in the blink of an eye, when the huge wave dozens of feet high smashed down, the silver figure turned into a sword shadow, and the huge wave of the sky was easily cut, becoming a sky full of fine rain and fog seawater, breaking the waves, breaking the sky, and shooting away in the wind.
