Chapter 86 Bold Plan
For Gawain, the most terrifying situation was to stand on the dark mountain and look south, but he couldn't see the shimmering barrier.
For the mainland countries of this era, that is the end of civilization.
But the barrier at the end of the horizon still exists. In the chaotic background of the Corrupted Land, it is like a wall of light standing between heaven and earth. Although it has been standing there for seven hundred years, many functions are probably in Decline, but as long as that light remains, the world is safe.
"That's the magnificent wall..." Hetty's tone was incredible and sighed, "I've only seen it in books..."
"People on the frontier were not unfamiliar with the wall hundreds of years ago, but in the past few hundred years, the territory of civilization has retreated again and again, and even retreated to the north of the Baishui River," Gawain shook his head with a sigh, " The magic tide is receding, and you are also receding, which is ironic."
Heidi's face was suddenly a little ashamed, but what else could she do - the great grandfather who had brilliant ideas and courage to die a hundred years ago, and who was extremely talented in the cause of rebellion, was too much to be tossed about, and one person destroyed the whole thing. The foundation of the South, who dares to carry this pot...
"Okay, okay, the wall is still there, which means that the sentinel tower is 'self-healing', right?" Although Amber was also amazed at the magnificent wall, but looking at the rotten land in the south, she really felt I don't want to stay for a minute, "So those aberrations won't have any reinforcements - then let's go back quickly, and go back and think about how to deal with those monsters!"
Gawain nodded slightly, turned around and jumped off the boulder, and said casually, "I already have a rough plan."
Amber quickly followed, hurriedly rushing behind Gawain while Barabara: "What plan, what plan? Do you really plan to kill more than 900 in one war charge? I'm joking with you... Could it be that you are true? So awesome?"
Gao Wenxin said that 700 years ago, Gawain Cecil might really be able to charge through the wave of monsters with a war, but if he wants to do this today, he can only spiral into the sky and die again. The plan he said is not his own. Ren rushed in to Kai Wushuang: "I roughly calculated the route in the mountain and the movement speed of those monsters just now - they haven't sensed the existence of the camp yet, so the movement speed is slow, if they continue to go north at the current speed , it will not be a threat to the camp for at least two days, so we have two days to arrange."
Amber scratched his hair: "What?"
"Blow down the entire mountain north cliff on the west side of the camp," Gawain said, quickly flipping the map in his mind, "The rock formation there is not stable, and some areas have cracked, and the road below the mountain wall... The direction in which those aberrations are heading."
Amber was stunned for a moment.
Gawain's bold and almost crazy (in her opinion) plan was completely beyond her expectations.
In her mind, she imagined countless scenes of setting up a defense line outside the camp, fighting bravely, and resisting in a roundabout way, and even almost moved herself, but she didn't expect Gawain to come up with such an unusual plan...
Then, she doubted the feasibility of this plan: "Can you really do this? Blow up the mountain! How is it possible!"
Gawain glanced at Amber: "It's not to blow up the mountain, but to blow up a part of the rock formation. Believe me, I have observed the situation there, it's very easy, and we have something enough to blow it up."
Amber blinked, and suddenly realized what Gawain was referring to: "You mean... those fake crystals that your second granddaughter tossed out?"
This guy's ability to call other people or things casually is getting better and better.
"It's those crystals, they're called 'Rebecca Crystals', they have names," Gawain nodded, "because the raw materials are the rocks in the mountains, and even the serfs can complete the smelting operation after explaining it, so those things A whole bunch has been produced and it just came in handy."
Amber still wanted to murmur, but Gawain had already stepped forward and only threw a word from a distance: "The details will be discussed when we return to the camp. Those monsters will not stop and wait for us."
Amber raised his eyes and saw Gawain and Heidi walking fast on the rugged mountain road, jumping in a hurry behind them: "Hey! Hey! You two wait for me! Hey - Gawain, you are a knight with good physical strength. Forget it, Heidi, how can you, a mage, run so fast in the mountains!"
Heidi heard Amber's voice, but just smiled and shook her head without answering.
How can outsiders know the rules handed down by the Cecil family since ancient times-no matter whether the family is male or female, regardless of talent, it is standard to go to the forest to kill a wolf with bare hands before adulthood... Rebecca was stunned by the wolf three times before passing the test. But Hetty is a one-time clearance!
After returning to the camp, Gawain immediately called Rebecca, Byron and Philip to his camp, and the Druid Pitman joined in uninvited after hearing the news. .
Considering that many things could not be concealed, and if he really needed to fight against those monsters, the healing spell of this half-barrel water druid would also be an indispensable help, so he did not drive the little old man out.
"There are more aberrations, nearly a thousand in number, in the mountains," Gawain said bluntly after the others arrived, "moving towards this side."
Everyone was shocked by the news, but Pittman was the first to react. The old Druid flicked his robes and said with awe: "I don't want this month's salary--"
"Stop, why did you react to Amber?" Gao Wen stared at the little old man, "Wait for me to finish first, and it's not too late for you to make a statement after I've made arrangements here."
"Lord Duke," Knight Byron said, "there are less than 100 people in the camp who can fight now - that's counting the dozens of militias that have just been trained. The regular soldiers and militias are equipped with those enchanted weapons. After the armor, it may be possible to fight the aberration head-on, but it is barely a one-to-one match..."
"I know," Gawain raised his hand to interrupt Byron, "so I didn't plan to fight those monsters directly."
Rebecca's eyes widened: "Could it be... to abandon the camp?"
She pouted, obviously the last thing she wanted to hear was this answer: Although this is a barren land in the wilderness, this is the last place for the Cecil family, and this is also her new home, whether it is burning crystals The kiln or the steel plant powered by Magic Web 1 has her efforts: this is the first time in her life where she can happily do what she likes to do, and she doesn't want to give up here no matter what.
But if Gawain really decides to withdraw... She is also ready to obey.
"No, we don't have to retreat, at least we don't have to make a decision so hastily," Gawain shook his head, "It will take two days for those monsters to move to a position where they can sense the existence of the camp, and it will take at least a day for them to rush over, so we have at most three Days to prepare. I have a plan, but I need a lot of 'Rebecca Crystals'..."
Gawain spoke out his bold idea and specially emphasized the feasibility of this plan.
Knight Byron and Knight Philip looked at each other. As two traditional martial arts professionals, they didn't pay much attention to the "inventions" that Gawain and Rebecca tossed around, and they couldn't imagine the size of the crystals that could cause explosions. Power, Pittman is even more at a loss: these days he is either configuring alchemy potions in his house, or he is wandering around to drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings and sell useless ointments, he doesn't even know What is a "Rebecca Crystal"...
But Rebecca herself suddenly lit up: "Yes! Those crystals are fine!"
Rebecca crystals are her proud invention. As long as she has time these days, she is testing the properties of those crystals and their detonation power. She knows their effects well, and Gawain's plan seems to be for her. The door to a new world was opened, which made the little girl immediately excited: "Listen to me, the plan that the ancestors said is completely feasible! I know how powerful those crystals exploded - and the more the number, the more powerful it will be. It will rise exponentially! If you put them in the crevices of the rock, the detonation formation will be carved on the rock... It will be no problem to blow off all the rock walls!"
The eyes of the two knights at the scene finally brightened, but Knight Byron was still a little worried: "But can this really kill those monsters? Their vitality is very tenacious..."
"You have also fought them head-on, so you should know that those aberrations are not invulnerable," Gawain smiled, "and the aberrations within the range of the magic tide and the aberrations wandering away from the team are completely two concepts, lost. Complementing the magic power of Chaos, they are more than a little fragile. According to my observation, the aura of the magic tide produced by the aberrations in the mountains is far weaker than the pollution of Cecil Land that day."
"That would be great," Knight Byron nodded again and again, "but what if the landslide didn't solve them all?"
"I didn't expect to bury them all in the first place - the best result is to solve more than half of the first collapse," Gawain said with a smile, "The rest, we use traps, and use traps buried in the ground. 'Art' to reduce their numbers step by step, from the mountain pass in the southwest corner to the camp, we have a buffer zone to deal with them - the clearing and fence in front of the camp are the last line of defense, but I doubt that the monsters may not be able to walk at all. to this distance."
Saying that, he looked up at Rebecca: "I asked you to combine the rune trigger and the trap. It should be done, right?"
"Of course, that thing is simple. The simplest rune trigger can be done with a few stacked stone pieces. Anyway, as long as the rune is guaranteed to be pressed into the detonating circle," Rebecca looked special. Happy, "And after you left just now, I sent a few more people to the kiln. At this time, another batch of crystals should have been burned-now that Magic Web No. 1 has started to operate, put those crystals on the magic net. Near the charging point of No. 1, it can be filled with a lot of crystals in a short time. I sent someone to transport all the crystals in reserve to the compound of the steel factory, and they will be fully charged by this evening at the latest..."
Looking at Rebecca's excited face, Gawain felt from the bottom of his heart that he really found a treasure.
This girl...is a talent.
