Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Truncated Hongqiao Jose
The Kraken and the Dragons are the natives of the New World like the Cavemen, and unlike the Cavemen, the Kraken's empire is built on the bottom of the Great Star Sea, and the Dragonlands inhabit the Dragon Island, so when the war between the Holy Alliance and the Cavemen broke out, the Dragons and the Kraken did not participate in the war.
However, since the establishment of the Empire, it has been in a territorial dispute with these two races along its long coastline, for which the Empire has established two military fortresses, the Black Castle and the Iron Fort, and stationed its two most elite legions, the Raging Wave Legion and the Burning Legion, to keep the dragon and the kraken out of its country.
All along, the Black Castle and the Iron Castle played their role as a barrier very well, until January 3, 788, the Kraken for the first time put the giant beast, a powerful biological weapon cultivated by secret methods, into the battlefield, the Kraken's army under the leadership of the seven giant beasts raided the Black Castle, the huge strength of the giant beast and its resistant skin helped it tear apart the underwater magic barrier of the Black Castle, the Kraken army then entered the Black Castle from the Black Castle's water system, the Angry Waves Legion was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, this raid directly led to the occurrence of the River Valley Garrison Battle later known as the River Valley Meat Grinder, and also made the Empire remember this powerful biological weapon。
This experience made the empire pay special attention to the giant beasts when rebuilding the Black Castle, and set up a large number of special measures to deal with the giant beasts, but the coverage of these measures does not include the small star sea, because the small star sea is only an inland sea located in the center of the continent, connected to the big star sea through the Luoying River and the Moroccan long gorge, and the kraken must pass through the Black Castle if it wants to enter the small star sea, so unless the Black Castle is captured again, that situation is impossible, at least the imperial officials have always believed so.
So when the capital and the Elven River received a distress signal from the Titan cruise ship, Valhalla and the military both exploded, because of the extreme confidence in the safety of the Little Star Sea, the empire did not arrange any warships on the Little Star Sea, and the only way to deal with the giant beast was to use the police station to use the speedboat used for reconnaissance from the capital and the Elven River to transport the powerful spellcasters of Valhalla and the military to the scene, but it would take several hours to reach the location of the accident at the earliest, by that time, the giant beast may have already destroyed the Titan and fled, after that, it is not easy to find a giant beast in the huge small Star Sea。
A giant beast escaping in the sea of small stars would be something that no one would want to see, so after combining other situations, Dan Mosheng and Ye Zhiqiu came up with a risky plan to send a group of spellcasters to the scene first through Maruzat's Hongqiao.
The Hongqiao made by Maruzat is the fastest known means to travel between the Elven River and the capital, but the Hongqiao has an obvious limitation, it can only connect the Elven River and the capital, so Dan Mosheng and Ye Zhiqiu proposed an extremely risky method to forcibly cut off the Hongqiao in the process of Hongqiao transmission, so that the transmitted person falls from the Hongqiao, so as to achieve the effect of directly transmitting people to the accident site.
It only takes a few seconds for Hongqiao to connect the Elven River and the capital, and the seemingly simple idea is actually full of madness, but for the great sage Dan Mosheng and the prophet Ye Zhiqiu, who has seen the farthest in this world, this is not completely impossible to achieve, and the two of them have turned this matter into reality through a lot of calculations.
Dan Merson got the list of passengers on the ship from the military, he saw Rong Ruo's name in it, and then traced the imprint he left on Rong Ruo's body to locate the exact location of the Titan, and then Maruzat opened the rainbow bridge from the Elven River at the request of the two, in order to ensure the effect of teleportation, the number of people who were teleported was limited to a minimum, so Jose, who was in the capital, became the executor of this risky plan.
Under the watchful eyes of Dan Mosheng and Ye Zhiqiu, as well as a large number of military and Valhalla personnel, he walked from Victory Square into the rainbow light that fell from the sky, and after a second and a half, the rainbow light disappeared from sight, and he once again saw the sky, and the white clouds below him.
Before leaving, Danmerson told him that there would be a lot of uncertainty in this teleportation, and that he would have to deal with the unexpected situation on his own.
Now, he had to face the first surprise, he was hundreds of meters or higher, the air around him was very thin, when the power of the rainbow bridge was gone, he began to fall without any suspense, and the cry of a beast came from below, and he saw the giant beast opening its mouth and the outline of a ship in the sea below.
At the very least, he was teleported to the right place, and without hesitation, José untied his black book from his strap, and a large number of points of light flew out of the pages, flying around him, and finally converging into a white sword on his right hand.
Jose didn't know what the specific strength of the giant beast was, there was too little information about this in Valhalla, and he didn't have time to investigate it carefully, so he chose not to make any temptations and directly attacked the giant beast.
He didn't do anything to slow himself down, but instead took advantage of the momentum to aim the White Emperor Sword at the giant beast, and as his magic and life force poured in, the sword body ignited with a warm flame.
The beast directly below seemed to sense the danger and dived into the water at the same time as José's fall, swimming as if it were swimming forward to avoid his attack.
José waved his hand, and with his movements, the black book floating beside him suddenly opened, and one of the pages was overturned, and a large number of stones engraved with words shot out of the black book, plunged into the sea with the force of thunder, and produced a thunderstorm under the surface of the sea, these stones were some of the stones that Valit had attacked him with him two years ago, when he collected them in the book, and did not completely use them up in the counterattack, until today these stones containing the magic of "Zen" have once again come into play.
For a behemoth with thick scales, the thunderstorm produced by these rocks was not enough to damage it, but it was enough to force the beast out of the ocean floor, which was what Jose wanted.
When the giant beast was forced to emerge from the sea again, he had already brought the White Emperor Sword to his side, and the White Emperor Sword emitted a dazzling white light, accompanied by a huge momentum, stabbing through the back of the giant beast's neck, leaving no blood on the scorching wound, but the burning flame on the White Emperor Sword would destroy the body of the giant beast from the inside.
However, the lack of understanding of the behemoth's body made him suffer, and instead of piercing into its vertebrae as José had expected, the White Emperor Sword inserted from the back of its neck slipped out of a slimy tissue like a jelly, without causing fatal damage. The giant beast took advantage of this opportunity to dive into the sea again, José did not rashly follow into the sea, but hovered on the surface of the sea, and some words fell in the black book, which turned into a huge block of ice under his feet, floating on the surface of the sea, José fell, in the isolated sea, it is better to save his magic and avoid unnecessary waste.
He stared closely at the rough sea, and at the same time that the White Emperor Sword caused damage to the giant beast, he also set up a ground beacon on the giant beast to hunt down, and until the magic dissipated, the giant beast's whereabouts would always be under his control.
"Senior brother, help!" José, who was staring at the sea, suddenly heard Rong Ruo's voice, he looked at the source of the sound, and saw Rong Ruo floating on the surface of the sea with a wooden plank, and there were two other boys with short shaved hair.
Not only Rong Ruo, but there are also many people around who are calling for help with all kinds of standard services, if he continues to choose to fight with the giant **, then these people are afraid that they will all die because of the aftermath of the battle, although after analysis, killing the giant beast should be a better choice, but Jose fell into hesitation.
"Senior brother, if I don't come soon, I'm going to freeze to death!" Rong Ruo shouted holding the plank, still shivering, José silently controlled the ice floes to approach her, pulled her up from the water, clothed her, and then pulled the other two boys up as well, one of the boys did not catch his hand for the first time, but stared at him deadly, and José recognized him as the boy from two years ago.
But José still simply pulled him up from the water, gave him a large towel, and then more ice floes that were large enough to land on his feet came out of the black book and fell to the side of the other people who had fallen into the water, just now he felt that the giant beast had dived to the bottom of the water and fled, and he had lost his best chance to kill it, so the best option now was to rescue these people who had fallen into the water and wait for the rescue ship to arrive.
Just, is this choice the right one?
José didn't speak, staring blankly at the sea level in the distance.
