Chapter 176: AT-SO Pacers
"Get in the car! This place is not to stay for long! β
Just before Xu Mu and Celia stood at the Sky Pier.
A small manned flying car swept straight through the air not far away.
Almost didn't wait for Xu Mu and Celia to react.
The doors were quickly opened.
Two high-precision robotic arms stretched out from inside and directly dragged Xu Mu and Celia's collars.
Soon, blue flames erupted from under the soft air cushion of the flying car, and it soared directly into the air.
Hanging Xu Mu and Celia flew away in an instant.
And at the moment when the flying car just went away.
A large missile fell from the sky and smashed straight above the sky pier impartially.
"ββββ boom!! βββββ
Huge fireworks exploded in Xu Mu's back, and the strong air currents set off by the bomb almost blew him off the mechanical arm.
When it was completely away from the center of the explosion, the robotic arm slowly retracted.
'Throw' Xu Mu and Celia into the carriage.
Look back again.
The Sky Pier has been bombed beyond recognition, and the air extradition port of the pier has even been blown in two, completely blocking the docking base station for air transportation.
A little later, Xu Mu estimated that he could be blown up directly by this large missile.
You know, the lowest level of this missile comes from a level 70 enemy, not to mention a 10x debuff.
Even if he increased Xu Mu's frontal defense tenfold, he couldn't withstand this blow.
"Wuhu ~ It's so fucking exciting." At this time, the pilot, who was sitting in the cockpit, blew a whistle.
Xu Mu looked back and saw a young man with an explosive head in the cockpit.
At this moment, a wireless signal came from the headset he was wearing.
"How's the situation at the airport terminal?"
"Thanks to me, there were no casualties, all of them were rescued by me and are on the way back. I'll hang up first if the old woman has nothing to do, don't you want to interfere with my distracted driving this, the crash rate is very high. After the man cut off contact directly, he turned his head and looked at Xu Mu and Celia with a smile.
"Dude, my name is Covey, and they all like to call me Reckless Covey, but as you can see, I'm a gentleman in the heart."
Hearing this, Xu Mu suddenly realized.
Hey, it's you kid.
But this person who flies the plane with one hand and doesn't look at the road can't stand up to a gentleman.
"What about you? Traveling to the Celestial Realm? Unfortunately, you didn't come at the right time. Covey grinned, turned his head back to look at the empty road ahead, and said casually: "Ghent has encountered a little trouble here for the time being. β
"A little trouble...... Does it mean that the enemy is about to hit your lair......" The simple Celia asked cautiously, and was pulled by Xu Mu's wrist without a trace, and she hurriedly shut up: "I'm sorry, I seem to have said the wrong thing......"
"Hi, it's fine. We old Ghents have never talked about these evasions, and it is just a flash in the pan for an unknown young person like Kahlert. Back then, our celestial realm was able to escape death from the hands of that stupid dragon of Bakar, and it was just Kalert, which was not enough to worry about. β
Covey seems to have a single-celled brain.
Originally, they received an order from their superiors to evacuate the people at the airport terminal, because judging from the intercepted internal information of Kahlert, they were ready to blow up the airport terminal and block the last food supply in Ghent.
But Covey seems to be only responsible for carrying out the rescue orders sent from above, and he doesn't care whether there is a problem with the people he saves.
A young girl with the appearance of an elf, and a young man in a white robe and trench coat carrying a long sword.
No matter how you look at it, you can't connect it with the word 'civilian'.
But Ke Wei didn't ask a word of suspicion, and tacitly assumed that Xu Mu and Selia were civilians, and no matter how bad they were, they would come to the Heavenly Realm to travel.
Along the way, Xu Muxu was pulled and chattered about a bunch of some and nothing.
From the customs of the heavenly realm, to the food culture, to the military life of chicken feathers and dogs.
It wasn't until the airship sailed into the heavily guarded imperial capital that Ke Wei relented a little, and his face became awe-inspiring.
As soon as Covey stepped out, a woman in crimson armor with three or four visible scars on her face led the soldier forward.
Behind her, followed by a group of soldiers in full gear and armed with guns.
Xu Mu glanced at it and found that the rank of these soldiers was the same??? γ
The properties are also completely uninspectable.
The only thing that can be seen is the level icon color of these NPC soldiers.
The color is pale green, which means neutral/fairly safe.
Xu Mu couldn't help but think.
If you take out your weapons at this time and kill all these soldiers belonging to the Imperial Capital Army.
Will he be assigned to the Callert camp by default......
Of course, that's what I thought.
Not to mention the random soldier who pops up here, the damage is enough to kill himself 800 times a second.
Even if you can beat it.
In the future, I have to rely on them to help me suppress a wave of naval artillery.
After all, in the original game in the previous life, it seems that 20 players joined forces to annihilate Antoun.
But in fact, the adventurer infiltrated Antun's body with the help of the Heavenly Imperial Capital Army.
After the Imperial Capital Army cut off almost all of Antun's energy supply, the adventurers were able to defeat Antun.
Otherwise, with the power of the Apostle, a player who doesn't even have three sleeps at level 86 and still has a tattered Wallace suit will not be able to tear Antun apart.
If he becomes a traitor and jumps against the Heavenly Realm, it means that he will basically not be able to count on the Heavenly Realm in the follow-up output of Antun.
"Who are these two?" The scarred woman who took the lead stepped forward with a cold gaze, giving people an aura full of oppression.
Covey, who was grinning big, also put away a hippie smile.
"They're the travelers I just met."
"Traveler?" The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and she swept towards Xu Mu: "At this time period, there will be travelers coming to the Heavenly Realm?" β
Compared to Covey's looseness, the woman is obviously much harsh.
While she was suspicious, the soldiers behind her apparently clenched their guns.
Xu Mu unhurriedly took out a document from his arms and handed it over.
The woman took the letter and opened it and looked at it.
"Huh? A letter of recommendation from Shalan? β
After opening the seal, she looked at it carefully.
Suddenly, the gaze that looked at Xu Mu became complicated.
"All-Class Mastery ......"
"It's a talent that is rare in the entire planet of Arad."
"And also repaired the magic circle left by the great mage Mar......"
After a quick reading, the woman changed her previous cold attitude, and instantly became enthusiastic about Xu Mu.
She took the initiative to stretch out her hand and shook it lightly with Xu Mu, and with a little apology, she asked the soldiers behind her to carry the guns back behind her, and then smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry warriors, in this special period, the princess was abducted not long ago, and we really have to be vigilant in case Kahlert's gang of insects disguise themselves as spies and sneak in, those illiterate rude barbarians like to play these tricks the most."
"Hello, my name is Zedin Schneider, and I am currently the first-level captain of the Imperial Capital Army's security team."
"So you're Zedin?" Xu Mu was slightly stunned.
As a 2D side-scrolling game, DNF has a one-sided image of many characters.
As a result, when Xu Mu saw Ze Ding, who had a fuller and more vivid image, for the first time, he didn't even recognize it.
In her previous life, Xu Mu even regarded Ze Ding as a big man for a while, and in the later plot, she followed the player to the map, and only then did she know that she was a female ammunition.
"You know me?" Zedin wondered.
"Well, I've heard of it." Xu Mu was vague.
At this moment, a front-line soldier not far away hurriedly ran over and whispered to Zedin to report the battle situation.
Hearing this, Ze Ding frowned: "The periphery of the East Gate, the South Gate and the North Gate has been breached, and only the West Gate is still struggling to support, this is ...... Is it already so grim......"
Xu Mu heard that this was a good time to take on the main quest.
stepped forward immediately, and Mao recommended himself.
"If there's a need, I can help."
Ze Ding glanced at Xu Mu with a slight hesitation, and stopped talking.
While NPCs can't see the player's level profile.
But I can also faintly feel some strength.
She didn't feel the strength of a strong person in Xu Mu.
Even the weapon in his hand didn't seem to be very refined.
Being polite to him is also because of his talent, and he will definitely grow into a towering tree over time.
But by no means for now.
Just when Ze Ding was thinking about how to refuse Xu Mu politely, he listened to Xu Mu again.
"The Imperial Capital Army is now seriously understaffed, and I can replenish some of the troops for you. And you don't need to pay extra money. β
Hearing this, Zedin was stunned again, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes were full of hope.
"Really? I've heard that your Adventurers' Guild is a well-traveled and well-connected warrior, and if the warriors can provide reinforcements to help the Celestial Realm regain lost grounds, we will surely remember your great kindness for generations to come! β¦β¦ So, Warrior, how many reinforcements can you provide to our side? β
Originally, Zedin still made a shallow calculation in his heart.
If you want to win against Callert, it may be more difficult to rely on reinforcements alone.
But if you want to repel Callert and hold Ghent, you only need to give yourself another 50,000 troops.
If you really can't do it, you can give 30,000......
"Eight million." Xu Mugang spoke.
The audience was silent.
It's not just Zedin.
Even Covey, including the group of soldiers behind him.
They all looked at Xu Mu dumbfounded.
"Capture ...... Less? Zedin stammered a little even when he spoke.
"Eight million." Xu Mu repeated again: "They are under my planning, methodically climbing along the Sky City to the Heavenly Realm, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in a short time, you only need to give them orders, and they will obey your arrangements." β
Zedin still hadn't come to his senses for a while.
Ghost ...... Eight million warriors?
In recent decades, Ghent has not been able to reach this number of people who have joined the army combined.
There is such a power to help.
Not to mention helping the war.
One person per capita can drown a mouthful of saliva directly to the Kahlert base camp......
But it is precisely because this force is so large that Zedin always feels unrealistic.
She looked at Xu Mu cautiously and asked in a confirmed manner, "Warrior, are you sure...... Is it eight million? Didn't you say one more word '10,000'? β
"Based on the current situation, I may have said 10,000 words less." Xu Mu said calmly.
According to the previous life, eight million warriors is a lot.
But the current dungeon is enough to enter 1.6 billion people, even if 8 million is changed to 80 million, it is only 800 million players.
"This ......" Ze Ding looked at Xu Mu with a slight shock in his eyes.
But deep down I still don't believe it with a capital letter.
Untilβ
"Captain! The airport terminal suddenly has more than 100 floatboats...... And this number is growing exponentially!! They are all adventurers who are shouting in solidarity with our Arad continent!! One of his men rushed up in a panic to report that he had almost fallen in embarrassment because he was in too much of a hurry.
When he rushed to stand upright in front of Zeding, he added in more detail: "It is conservatively estimated that every floating boat has at least a thousand adventurers on board!" β
"What did you say??" Zedin's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he directly opened the communication screen for docking with the floating satellite.
After switching lenses a few times.
Sure enough, near the sea of sky below the airport wharf, she saw a dense crowd of thousands of floating boats ready to be extradited into the port.
But unfortunately, because the extradition device at the airport terminal has just been blown up by Khalert.
As a result, these thousands of ships could not dock at all.
Even if the technology is as high as the celestial realm, the airship is still a device that obeys the most basic laws of physics.
It relies on aerodynamics and fuel propulsion systems to soar through the air, as well as extradition electromagnetic waves from ports to pull and land.
More critically, large floats need a place where they can dock and disembark.
But this large site has been blown up.
More than a thousand ships were trapped in the sea of skies with all their staff.
Seeing such a huge reinforcement, Zedin almost stared out his eyes.
turned around again, and glanced at Xu Mu with a shocked face.
But now is not the time to talk about that.
She hurriedly asked her subordinates, "How long will it take to repair?" β
"Probably...... It takes three days? And we need to make sure that the Kallett guys don't bomb this place twice......" replied the soldier with difficulty.
"Mobilize my troops as much as possible, and defend the airport at all costs!" Zedin said loudly.
"But sir...... We're almost out of town in Ghent...... At this time, if we mobilize our troops, we will probably be penetrated by someone inside Gent......"
"Hold me to death! Pierce it and punch it through! Anyway, the princess is not in the palace, and guarding the airport is our only hope of winning!! Otherwise, you, me, them, and those imperial capital troops who are still struggling to support will all die! Zedin said angrily.
Are you kidding!
This batch is at least 100,000 increases! And the follow-up is still flying in.
This is a situation that even Zedin never dreamed of.
As long as you can hold on, there is a dawn of victory!
She didn't expect that with Xu Mu alone, she would be able to lead such a powerful adventurer to go with her.
Celestial, saved!
These adventurers are really affectionate and righteous!
Of course, Zedin didn't know the real reason why this scene was happening.
These so-called adventurers were not appointed by Xu Mu.
It was purely because Xu Mu's front foot opened up the path of the heavenly realm.
A group of players who want to fight a shot begin to tentatively charge towards the Celestial Realm.
After all, in the case that the early level has been thrown off by the T0 level troops.
If you want to turn over, you can only rely on this kind of danger to win.
And the number of ordinary players who want to fight for a shot is increasing.
T0-level players will also start to worry about losing their lead.
thus joined the involution army.
As a result, more and more people began to flock to the city in the sky, wanting to catch up with this wave of east wind.
These are what Xu Mu had expected a long time ago.
Take advantage of them to gain more say in front of the NPCs in the Celestial Realm.
Sure enough.
After this time, Zeding's eyes when he looked at Xu Mu changed directly.
If it was said at the beginning, it was because of his amazing talent for mastery of all professions, and with a bit of exclamatory politeness and respect.
Now, then, it's admiration from the heart.
Ze Ding straightened his body and gave a military salute to Xu Mu, revealing a sacred and solemn expression on his cheeks with scars and heroic spirit: "Adventurer! Thank you for your efforts to aid the Celestial Realm! Your name will always be remembered by the people of the Celestial Realm! From now on, on behalf of the entire Imperial Capital Army of Ghent, I grant you the highest right to control and mobilize the Imperial Capital Army! β
After a pause, she whispered again: "Although it is only temporary, I don't have that much power...... Commander-in-Chief Jack is the final speaker, but he's now on his way to the Eton Industrial Zone, racking his brains against the giant Electricity Eater Antun...... But don't worry! Your kindness to the Heavenly Realm, even if it reaches the ears of Commander Jackt, will definitely approve of my actions. β
Zedin was clever in his approach.
Since Xu Mu was able to mobilize such a large number of adventurers to reinforce the Heavenly Realm, if he did not delegate his power to him, but instead obeyed his own deployment, it might cause Xu Mu's dissatisfaction.
Compared to the tens of thousands of people in the Imperial Capital Army, who are currently barely surviving, she needs these eight million warriors even more!
Moreover, whether it is Xu Mu, a rising star adventurer who has caused a stir in the Arad continent, or the handwritten recommendation letter of Shalan, the president of the Magic Guild who has a good personal relationship with him and occasionally makes phone calls.
all made Zeding trust Xu Mu even more.
"I don't want the right to deploy these warriors, when the time comes, you just need to tell them that this is a task, and they will naturally be happy to help."
"And my words, if you feel guilty, don't you plan to give me something......" Xu Mu paused for a moment and said what he had already planned in his heart.
"Why don't you give me a mech, AT-SO Walker?"
