Section 35: External Potential...... and the military front
Not being able to leave Egypt means that the reincarnation has less area of maneuver. This means that the possibility of seeking foreign help from elsewhere has become an impossible option.
And evil never walks alone.
"I can't go up." After Mu Gang obtained the information, he turned into an air and space fighter and rushed into the sky covered by a sandstorm at Jiang Yu's signal. He returned five minutes later with a spark of electricity, and even though he had transformed into a mortal body, he had many external injuries on his body.
Zhan Lan treated him. The light was sprinkled, and the recovery was much slower than before.
"I'm sorry, I can't make it through the storm layer." He looked apologetic, clearly remorseful for his failure. "At an altitude of more than two thousand meters, the intensity of the sandstorm approached the resistance limit of my shell. And by the time it comes to three thousand meters...... I had a premonition of death. β
Three thousand meters.
Dust storms cover an altitude of five thousand meters, which is normal.
And this huge sandstorm that spread throughout Egypt was able to drop bombs even at the point in time when the previous bomber group was able to drop bombs. It is also possible to extend the coverage to around 6,000 meters.
"Dust storms shouldn't have that intensity." - But this is incorrect, unscientific, not physical.
"Your avatar's shell can withstand even a few missiles, and even ignore high-altitude debris as it passes through the atmosphere. And if the sandstorm here is able to cause a breakdown to your shell. So ......"
"The whole land of Egypt, if not razed to the ground, will at least be in ruins."
The first half of the sentence was said by Jiang Yu, and the second half was by Zhan Lan - she pressed her forehead and gave more information.
"But so far, it doesn't seem that there have been many casualties in Egypt. I've just scanned a few cities, and the people in them are just amazed at the unusual sandstorms of the past few days. Even the calamity in Cairo has made them even more afraid...... And I went to scan Alexandria and the Suez Canal, where overseas ships ...... It can be passed normally. However, I can't see where they go. β
"What do you mean?" Zheng Zha also showed a solemn look.
"It means that my mental power can't be scanned." Zhan Lan glanced at him. "My psychic scan can cover the sandstorm, but it can't go beyond the sandstorm...... I can't see anything other than Egypt. I'm stuck here. β
"We're trapped here." Jiang Yu, corrected. The complexion is solemn. "It's against us...... Sandstorms against reincarnations. Seth, the god of the Aliens...... We, as gentles, are targeted in Seth's realm. Even if we are just fish in the pond that have been affected. β
"The last hand of the Inzhou team." Zheng Zhe clenched his fists, his joints rattling. "! If only I could have killed that werewolf sooner! β
"It can't be done." Jiang Yu shook his head. "Although the Inzhou team is weaker than us, they still have the strength to fight. As the second-strongest man in charge of the Death Hand, we can't kill Arrot in a single blow, and we can't do it without affecting the contract he carries...... Holding accountable is a pointless move. Now, we need to figure out how to deal with the next developments. β
He turned his head and looked at Chu Xuan, who seemed to have made up his mind to be a logistics officer.
"Chu Xuan, do you have any insight into the current situation?"
Chu Xuan did not discover the dead hand of the Yinzhou team in advance, this possibility exists. However, it should be low. Jiang Yu preferred to believe that Chu Xuan had noticed some clues, but for various reasons, he chose to turn a blind eye - but there was no evidence for this again.
And Chu Xuan didn't directly answer his question.
"A few minutes ago, the high-altitude satellite I had launched before lost contact." He has a high-tech laptop in his lap. He flipped the computer screen upside down, facing the other person's view. "And before it broke, I noticed something interesting."
He lifted his finger and tapped a few dots on the screen.
"Here, here, and here β when we bombarded the land of Egypt and made a big fuss. Many of the indigenous people who have spread the news of the disaster in Cairo are scrambling to flee far away. Many civilian ships were busy leaving Egypt, and yet, at the same time, three forces from three places were approaching Egypt in the opposite direction. β
It was three fleets, one from England. One departed from the Mediterranean. And the third ...... from the Apennine Peninsula, Rome.
"I've just deciphered their fleet communications from backed-up surveillance data. No valuable intelligence was found. However, I know what they belong to. β
"Council of Avalon, Elven Knights." - A fleet from England, whose ships are covered in a fog.
"Knights of Malta, Outer Order." - A fleet from the Mediterranean, whose ships are as sharp as swords in satellite view.
"Rome, Vatican. Inquisition. "βthe fleet from Rome, which had the farthest starting point, but the location was very close. It's as if their ships could sail on dry land, and the route was calculated as a straight line.
And the small wooden plaque from the Oriental Alien Association also appeared in Chu Xuan's hand. And, it emits a fine glow.
"It's a world of gods...... There is supernatural power, and supernatural power interferes with the real world significantly. In the eyes of the hegemonic forces in the current world, Immorton may not be regarded as the top powerhouse. And the conflict between us and Inzhou, and Immorton. After causing such massive damage, it is clearly contrary to some kind of ...... that the overlords of the present world have jointly formulated Propriety. β
"The storm in Seth was good for us. It restricts us from leaving, but it also keeps the indigenous forces of the world at bay from the storm, whether or not the storm of Seth is a constraint on them. At least, until the storm subsides, or weakens. These are the supernatural forces that come to hold the violators accountable...... Won't easily enter Egypt. β
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses.
"That's my analysis β this team fight should end as soon as possible. Because we don't have a lot of time. Challenging the Apostle of Set is probably the least difficult option for us. Of course, we can also bet on whether the identity wooden cards on our bodies will play a life-saving role when we have to contact these current overlords. β
ββ¦β¦ I don't think that's very likely. Zhan Lan lowered her eyes. It's the twentieth century, the twenties. And the distribution of forces in this world has not changed much from reality. I'm afraid that the Oriental Alien Association does not have a lot of energy. Even, our identity card will have some effects that will not make people feel happy. β
"It looks like we don't have a choice." Zheng Zha pulled the corners of his mouth. "But I kind of like this one solution. As reincarnators, we have to take a simple and crude path. β
He said this on purpose, in order to give Jiang Yu a step, in order to reduce the possible aftermath after making a decision. Since the members who are one of the main forces have taken the lead in expressing their agreement, even if there is a problem afterwards and they want to divide the pot, he and Jiang Yu will take it together.
And Jiang Yu's fingers gently tapped the desktop in front of him.
Chu Xuan's intelligence was correctβhe knew very well that this was not a coincidence, nor was it that the forces of this world had given strange names. Because of the Mummy-Scorpion King worldview, even in the original movie, it is a place where demons dance wildly. If you replace it with a custom version of the original from the first generation, the distortion is even greater.
In the Middle Continent area, there are sky-high pavilions that house the heritage of the saints. The prototype machine by the Lord God, as a caretaker.
In South America, there are the relics of the immortal saints of the primeval era, and there are golden masks that can be shaped into the power of the fifth order.
In Europe, there are perfect creatures that are infinitely close by virtue of their own talents, and are even equivalent to the fourth order. And they are even incognito.
Add to that Egypt, where the will of the gods is never far away as the center of the storyβif there weren't a whole bunch of inexplicable and powerful supernatural forces in this world...... It's just illogical.
So, there is no way out. There is no escape. The huge sandstorm that Seth set off when he fought in the air between Middle-earth and Yinzhou can even be understood as the isolation shield deliberately deployed by the Lord God for the fair battle of the two reincarnation teams not to be beaten by a third party who suddenly jumped out of their faces.
Jiang Yu's fingertips stopped abruptly.
"Let's go to the Temple of Seth." He said. "Let's go with the grave keeper's troops."
"Zhan Lan, have you obtained the general layout of the Seth Temple from the memories of the reincarnation of the Inzhou team?"
"Yes." Zhan Lan nodded. "I made a note of the location, and I also made a note of the underlying terrain. I know where the altar is. I even captured the scene where the Golden Sutra of the Sun was placed on the altar. β
"Then reproduce it in the Psychic Link." Jiang Yu said, and quickly developed a battle plan. "Our main mission is to annihilate Immorton, not to fight the Seth Emissary. If we don't trigger the side quest, then all we have to do is get the Sun Golden Sutra with the least amount of loss, and then complete the main story quickly, so that we can go back directly. And if we trigger a side quest and can't defeat the strong enemy in front of us, then we will deal with it according to this plan. β
"We're going to split into two teams, and the newcomers can be handed over to the grave keeper for protection. Of course, it is more important to be optimistic about Immorton's sealing box. Then, Zhao Yingkong and Zero, when we managed to hold off the Race Emissary. Find a way to steal the Golden Sutra of the Sun - take it with you, and immediately join up with Qi Tengyi or the Grave Keeper, who will quickly find the spell that robs Immorton of his mana. The Spear of Judgment, which has pierced Immorton's body, should be able to execute itβand if the plan doesn't work out, then we'll fight to the end with the Messenger of Se. β
He made a redeployment, and no one objected. Zero nodded silently. Zhao Yingkong also hummed softly.
So......
"Chu Xuan, what do you think is the probability that we will bump into Princess Ammanette in that movie?"
"It's huge." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. "We could have an agile opponent. Still, I think the Lord God has given enough hints. β
"The individual strength of the grave keepers is not very strong, they mainly have exquisite martial arts and large scale. And now, the leader of Eddie is gathering troops. β
"We need to be ready to go straight to the big battle."
