Chapter 854: Victory for Mortals
The height of the underground space is quite exaggerated, and it is enough for planes to maneuver here. However, if you really want to show off your maneuver, this is actually not an ideal place, because the terrain is so special that it is easy to cause all kinds of mountain crashes - I don't say that the peaks here are all as tall as snow-capped mountains, but the peaks here are very close to the sky.
There are many upside-down mountains hanging from the ceiling, large and small, and the normal peaks towering above the surface make the entire underground space look like the teeth of some giant creature, and it is obviously not a good idea to fly at high speeds in such places.
However, at the moment, it seems that even with the help of Nafuga, the humans have not made such a thing as an airplane, and everyone has chosen the airship with great security. It may be slow, but it hovers in the air, and with the help of magic, it can reduce the airbag and increase the load, making it ideal for performing a variety of tasks in the mountainous sky, such as mining leylines, energy crystals, and ores.
In the early days of development, it was estimated that these pot-bellied guys brought a lot of valuable resources to humans under the ground blockade of the orcs, but what I want the airship to do today is a completely different thing.
The troops basically lost the morale to continue fighting, after all, the monster with the giant brain just now not only blocked the shells, but even threw them all back. Being smashed all over the face by my own cannonballs is obviously not an exciting thing, not to mention that Uncle Hansen hangs so abruptly, and everyone including me is completely unprepared for this, and I should be thankful that the team did not cause much confusion.
Taking advantage of the time when the boss was attracted by the other troops in charge of the siege near the orc walled city, it was a natural choice to retreat with the main force. But Nafuga was right, we wouldn't be able to escape far before we would be overtaken, not to mention the fact that the troops near the boss weren't fighting at all, judging by the voices heard on the radio. It's a drama of escape and killing.
They couldn't even bring up much interest in the monster in their rout state, but at least they bought us some time.
After the surrounding troops were completely wiped out, the main force of humanity had fled a considerable distance, and just when everyone thought it was almost safe, the boss rushed over at an amazing and desperate speed, causing a series of bloody murders - I think that guy was purely trying to tease us, like a cat teasing a mouse.
Since it wants to play, then I'll play with it.
Artillery is the most powerful weapon in human hands today, and I am reluctant to give it up even if it is completely ineffective against monsters. The troops dragged these bulky guys on the way, and the number of wounded soldiers seriously slowed down the speed of the troops. However, the purpose of the monster is to kill us, so it will not immediately rush over and smash everyone down, and will not act until there is a distance that is enough for everyone to feel safe.
It's a terrible personality and intentions, but I'm already familiar with it after dealing with demons a few times. Anyway, the boss is not in a hurry to come and clear the field, so why should we run for our lives in a panic? Coupled with the scattered troops around the walled city, the monster will definitely stay in place for a long time.
Time may be enough, but it's not clear if my arrangement will have an effect on the monsters. If it doesn't work out. At that time, it will really be necessary to sacrifice an army, and the queen will be an outcast.
The radio finally fell silent, and the besieging forces near the walled city must have either been wiped out or had fled, and no one in the main force I led spoke, and it was evident that everyone was in despair out of fear, and was only trying to suppress their emotions from exploding.
I wish I could do something to change this, but we're not the material after all, and just thinking about how to deal with the boss has exhausted all my brain cells. Now we can only hope that my arrangement will be successful, because we can't think of anything else.
Is this the limit of being a mortal......
"Sir Zhou Yi, the monster left its place and began to rush towards us!" The sudden sound on the radio made me suddenly come back to my senses in deep thought. "It's, it's so fast, we'll be caught up in no time!"
I busied myself with the mech and turned to look. I saw the boss pull the tentacles to rumble the ground and crawl straight over, all kinds of dust flew along the way almost to the extent of obscuring the sky, making people unable to hold up the idea of blocking its progress at all.
That's a moving mountain!
After taking a deep breath, I quickly sorted out my mood: "Zhang Wenhao, the troops have passed the target location two minutes ago, how are you prepared?"
"It's already ready. It's ready to start. ”
Now I can only do my best to obey the fate of God, and I have done my best, even if I still fail in the end, I will not regret it. But if you hang up here, can you go back to the original world? It doesn't matter what, it's only right to concentrate on dealing with the boss first.
"Good. It's a matter of success or failure. I calmly ordered loudly, "Stop moving forward and start an artillery formation, and meet the other side here! Those who do not want to participate can leave on their own, bring the news to the rear, and let them hide as much as possible and not go out so as not to be found by monsters." Well, if we fail. ”
Surprisingly, no one left. Although everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and some people still looked very scared, they still chose to stay. Maybe it's because I've been familiar with a similar scene in a deathmatch with the orcs, or maybe I'm just realizing that I can't outrun the monsters, but I feel a little relieved that no one has left.
Human beings may be really small, but we are not cowardly!
The giant brain quickly approached with an earth-shattering vib, and in the blink of an eye, it was only a few hundred meters away from the group. However, I never gave the order to fire, and now is not the time, and an early attack will only cause the enemy to bounce back all the shells.
The monster chose to take the lead. Some kind of water-streaked fluctuation visible to the naked eye suddenly spread from the front of the boss into the air without making any sound, but at the moment when the fluctuation swept through the entire army, I seemed to hear countless piercing buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't help but release the joystick on the spot and desperately blocked my ears.
The buzzing sound of blocking the ears has not disappeared, this should be a spiritual attack of the nature of a map cannon! It's just that the strength doesn't seem to be very large. Don't say it's deadly, you can't even make people faint, is this guy deliberately leaving his hand to break up our resistance in order to appreciate the frightened expression of the human as they panic and flee in all directions?
After gathering my strength to resist the opponent's attack, I felt much better, and I regained my body and shouted into the radio: "Everyone, grit your teeth and hold on! It's not time to give up!"
The ethereal voice then sounded indifferently: "What can I do even if I hold you up? Your weapons are like toys to me, and they can't hurt me anyway." Ignorant lowly creatures, obediently accept the fate of being preyed. Maybe when I'm full, I won't wipe you out like I did with those green skins. ”
I couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer from my nostrils and said, "Then when we breed again to a certain number, it will be convenient for you to hunt again, right? I'm really sorry, compared to you, humans are indeed a little weaker, but we have no plans to become domestic animals!"
The radio station suddenly resounded one after another with the roars of everyone's approval, and one after another was like a tsunami, which made people feel a burst of blood boiling from the bottom of their hearts. Then I heard a loud bang, but it was a ripple of water in the air, as if it had hit something solid, and it was bounced back violently.
"It's a little funny, just ants, and you dare to try to resist without any means, then I'll fulfill you. ”
After hearing the other party's statement, I instead tilted the corners of my mouth upwards and smiled faintly: "Big head." Didn't anyone tell you that casually attacking marching ants was a dead act?
Before the boss could react to what was going on, several peaks hanging upside down directly above its head suddenly broke apart from their roots and fell straight to the ground from the ceiling of the underground space. Although these peaks are everywhere, not all of them are suitable for traps, and they have quite special requirements, which is why I took my troops to run such a long distance.
That's right. Human weapons have no effect on monsters at all, but Lao Tzu doesn't believe that a large-scale man-made landslide can't hurt it either!
The resources of the underground space are not abundant. So things that take a lot of resources to build usually have a lot of functions. For example, the airship, which can mine, transport, drop infantry or bombs and even install artillery to bombard, can be used to bombard the ground, and I almost bowed to the designer of this thing after Zhang Wenhao mentioned the performance of the airship when he supplemented my plan, but here I use the transportation and mining functions of the airship, and nothing else matters.
In order to mine on the upside-down peak, the airship must first be docked or fixed to the surface of the latter, which is done by an external robotic arm, but if they want to make the mountain break apart and fall from the ceiling, Zhang Wenhao and his team desperately wield iron picks and explosives to tinker for three days and three nights. Therefore, I can only ask Gao Ming, and it has become the best choice to send the magicians who are good at earth-based spells represented by Saizeriya to the airship.
That's not enough, the giant brain has proven that it has the ability to materialize mental power to affect objects, and I can't guarantee that just a few peaks can smash each other - or worse, the boss catches them all. And then they all threw them all over our heads.
So, as mentioned before, the mountain that is a trap has special requirements.
When I was in close contact with the giant brain in the orc walled city, even if it was still stuck in the passage at that time and couldn't exert its full strength, and I had enough mental power to resist its mental attack, the other party could still materialize the spiritual power without reaching the tentacles and "crush" my own body to completely clean me up, but it didn't do it, why?
The essence of spiritual power cannot affect the origin of the world, after all, the world cannot be changed by consciousness alone, even gods can't do it, everyone can only obediently use their hands to transform. There is no doubt that the leyline energy is the original power of our world, and coincidentally, all the machines of human beings use the crystallization of the leyline energy as an energy source - in other words, the boss doesn't want to pinch me to death, but it can't do it at all!
So the answer is very simple, the mountain that is used to set the trap is the vein that stores a large number of crystals inside. I bet that these veins are absolutely priceless in today's human society, so that's right, scum 5 like me today also decisively pretended to be forced to start smashing monsters with money!
Ahem, the last sentence above doesn't count......
"Be smart. The giant brain showed no concern for the several huge peaks coming straight to its head, and it raised more than a dozen tentacles towards the sky as if it was intending to catch the latter, "Do you think this will hurt me, it's so superficial!"
Well, I'm a superficial emperor, as many facts have proven earlier. But not this time, because my superficiality is born in the daily life of Emilina (even if the daily location is the battlefield), but the blonde girl does not exist in this world.
As the mountain continued to fall, the boss quickly sensed that something was wrong, and it even looked panicked: "What, there is that one in there? Have you already found out!? Damn, I have to ...... now."
"You don't have to do anything right now, just die obediently. I pressed the button on the joystick and shouted at the radio, "All fire!"
The earth-shattering roar of artillery instantly filled the entire underground space, and the dense barrage immediately confused the boss's face. Maybe these attacks only have 1 damage or even 1, but they successfully hinder the movement of the monster that did not use the mental power to protect the cannon attack, causing it to pause for a moment.
Then, in an incomparably violent tremor of the ground, several cone-shaped peaks pierced the monster's fat body, causing it to burst out a large amount of blood and a wail of pain. Even so, the boss still didn't die, and with only one breath left, it spewed out countless powerful and turbulent spiritual power fluctuations, blowing us like a gust of wind.
A lot of the infantrymen's heads just exploded, but I felt more pressure coming at me. The other party struggled to deliver a vicious blow before dying, and the target was undoubtedly himself.
Before I could react, the overwhelming pressure completely destroyed our defenses, and darkness quickly enveloped the entire world. (To be continued.) )
