Chapter 656 The Employment Task Failed and Parted Ways 【Subscription】【5K】
As long as King Ragnar can escape smoothly, he will return to the imperial city to regain power.
Then Zong Shen can go to the imperial city to find him at any time to fulfill his promise.
However, it must be emphasized that according to the distance scale of the continent, it is not easy for Zong Shen to go back to the imperial city of the Nord Kingdom...
The fastest way is to plan the direction and path through the giant city-level teleportation array and then perform the teleportation step by step.
Now he could only pray that King Ragnar would die.
After all, he has done his best.
To make sure he knew what to do, a large amount of data was displayed in front of his field of vision.
Four dynamically updated golden circle coordinates are included, and there are two remaining coordinates worth exploring.
The strategy module is like a dutiful employee, providing him with detailed information.
It is precisely because of these information advantages that Zong Shen was able to successfully help King Ragnar escape from the predicament. Although the result has not yet been settled, the situation is still much better than the previous predicament.
Including Zong Shen himself successfully escaped, but also delayed a lot of time for him.
In fact, if there were no sixth-order Nord royal guards, and he just let him deal with Guerta and Letai, with these status skills, plus his endless props and means, he could have a fight!
That Guerta is more than three meters tall, obviously with alien blood, and the strength attribute must be out of the table.
But no matter how high his strength is, it is impossible for him to be higher than a giant dragon of the same rank.
Zong Shenruo used the power magic skills to increase his power first, and then transformed.
In a short period of time, you can make your own strength attribute reach as many as five or six hundred points.
Plus the attack buffs and corresponding characteristics after transformation, such as the chaos damage of demon transformation.
The Holy Light damage of Holy Spirit Transformation, as well as the percentage damage reduction effect.
It should be no problem to deal with two epic mercenaries.
It's just that he hasn't had time to observe the attributes of the two. The above is purely Zong Shen's analysis based on past combat experience, and he does not rule out the possibility of encountering hard stubble.
After all, these days, he has basically been mingling in the one-third of the acre within the range.
Haven't even been to the giant city yet.
The epic level of strength he now refers to is the great French cousin Gilles de Re and those French cousins.
This time, although he couldn't be like the previous battles, he had an absolute advantage.
But being able to escape from the siege of hundreds of sixth-order Nord royal guards and two epic-level mercenaries is enough to prove his strength.
Most importantly, this time he did not rely on any of his subordinates and subjects.
Completely alone.
It was a novel adventure for him.
"Hmph, there may be a chance to meet those two guys in the future."
"When the time comes, I will show them how powerful someone in my sect is!"
Zong Shen clenched his fists, it's not too cool for people to chase and run.
As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. One day his footsteps and power will move towards other regions of the mainland, and his strength will become stronger and stronger!
As a lord, he has an unimaginable development speed and room for improvement for the aborigines.
After he left the rig, he jumped on the ground.
Immediately, a lot of dirt fell from the gaps in the battle armor, leg armor, and helmet.
The floating soil piled up at the feet, and even gathered into a small pile.
Then, he took off his battle helmet and shook his head suddenly, throwing the dust off his face and head.
"Bah bah bah!"
He spit out several mouthfuls of spit with the color of yellow mud.
This is not over, he began to take off all the equipment on his body.
All that was left was the underwear that had turned khaki.
Even in his underwear, the dirt almost covered his entire body.
Zong Shen, who was in the cockpit of the drilling rig just now, seemed to be buried alive once.
After taking off his equipment, he used the strategy module to guard the surroundings.
Warn him of any danger.
After confirming the safety of the surrounding area, he also took off his hemp underwear.
There's still an uninhabited look around here.
In addition, the rocky ground is undulating and the surrounding grass is barren, making it even more lonely and desolate.
Taking advantage of this time, Zong Shen took out a heavy bucket full of clean water from the storage compartment.
With brute force, he held up his hands and poured clean water from his head directly.
From his body, a large amount of brown mud mixed with a small amount of small pebbles turned into muddy water and flowed from the body on the rock foundation, and then turned into a trickling stream, gathering towards the low-lying place.
Zong Shen poured it three times in a row, and didn't let out a sigh of relief until the water in the heavy bucket was drained.
Reaching out and wiping his face, he immediately felt a lot refreshed.
At first glance, the mud and dirt are almost washed away.
In fact, however, there were still a lot of fine sand and dust left on his skin.
It is impossible to completely restore the cleanliness of the body with such a rough flush.
I can only make do with it, fortunately, Zong Shen is not a pampered guy, just wash it so that he doesn't feel uncomfortable.
He brushed his hair back with both hands, removing the water droplets from his hair.
Standing naked in this bird place really has an inexplicable sense of exile.
Humans really only feel candid when they are not wearing clothes!
Zong Shen took out a set of hemp underwear and put it on again.
Then put on the battle armor and equipment covered with scabs.
After cleaning up a little, he walked to the side of the [Magic Drilling Machine] again.
Clean the rig's cockpit and track chassis.
It took ten minutes before and after.
At this time, King Ragnar was already dozens of kilometers away from him.
The positions of those two epic mercenaries actually overlapped with King Ragnar.
It should be the use of speed-up or flight-type runes, and they can accurately lock Ragnar's position.
But King Ragnar is not stupid, he still drives the drilling machine hundreds of meters underground.
No matter how fast the chasing soldiers moved, they were always separated by hundreds of meters of formation.
Mere distance is not King Ragnar's reliance.
He is underground, and the pursuit of soldiers on the ground is the key to King Ragnar's escape.
The spatial perception of those space mages cannot penetrate hundreds of meters of soil and rocks.
It is simply impossible to accurately locate the [Shadow Wormhole] in the tunnel left by King Ragnar.
Second, they have not yet escaped the confines of spatial disorder.
It's just that the level of disorder in the location is lower than the previous area of the ball of thorns.
King Ragnar understands this very well. As long as he leaves another seven or eight kilometers, his Flare-level storage props can be opened.
At that time, you can directly teleport from the high-level teleportation rune from the underground to the giant city where the rune anchor is located.
There are several teleportation runes in his hand that are comparable to the extreme distance of a giant city-level teleportation array.
That is, the maximum can be transmitted to 99,999 kilometers away.
Each rune sets several anchor cities in different regions of the kingdom, ensuring that he can reach the anchor cities anywhere in the kingdom as long as the specified rune is activated.
Without exception, these anchor cities are all kingly cities under the complete control of the Lord Brock family.
"call…"
In fact, the [Magic Drilling Machine] is not suitable for working underground for a long time.
Its purpose is mainly constructive excavation and auxiliary excavation.
If you work in a relatively closed environment for too long, the biggest problem is oxygen.
What's more, the tunnel behind King Ragnar is gradually being closed.
A dozen Nord Axe and Hammer Guards staggered behind them.
"call!"
"Sandina, you are destined to pay the price for your king-killing!"
"It was not your choice that the curse of the era fell on you."
"But in the end, you still chose this step."
"The reorganization of the kingdom is imperative, and I will no longer be fettered by the era!"
Ragnar Lordbrock said through gritted teeth.
His face was as determined as a stone carving.
Zong Shen is like a butterfly flapping its wings thousands of miles away, but his unintentional actions have had a major impact on the Nord Kingdom.
From Queen Sandina's ripped face, to King Ragnar's attack.
His appearance was like a hand flipping a street sign, completely changing the future of the Nord Kingdom.
The era change script about the Nord Kingdom will be rewritten.
...
Above the surface!
Guerta, Letai and Nord royal guards are surrounded by a circle of light blue wind element magic.
This allowed them to maintain a low airspeed and, under the guidance of several space mages, closely followed the actions of King Ragnar underground.
But all they can do is just follow.
The reason is simple, they lack the means to dig the ground quickly.
From the surface to the tunnel where King Ragnar is located, the several hundred meters of strata are like an insurmountable moat!
"Damn, why don't you prepare some means of drilling the ground?"
"Is this what you mean by foolproof?"
Guerta is a relatively impatient guy. After tracking for a while, he realized the problem, he suddenly accelerated, and flew in front of the seventh-order guard captain Langdon Wordsworth, who was in charge of commanding the team.
If this mission fails, their commissions will be lost!
At this time, Guerta was very angry in his heart.
Come to complain about the incompetence of Sandina's diehard warriors.
Second, I regret that I have been fishing for too long.
If he and Letai entered the field earlier, they could have broken the defensive circle of the Axe and Hammer guards two minutes earlier.
Then let Letai deal with the old magician, and he himself is responsible for containing the king.
As long as those royal guards swarm up, they can easily subdue King Ragnar!
Originally, fishing was a compulsory course for the old Youzi mercenary.
If you want to blame it, blame the person who killed him halfway.
They have understood that at the most critical moment of the siege.
The bombing formation that suddenly appeared in the sky, as well as the three fifth-order group magic that erupted later, were all the work of that person!
This led to the opportunity for the seventh-order magister Chiamke to burn his life and buy time.
At the same time, the drilling rig driven by the king is also likely to be provided by that person.
It's just that they never figured out how Zongshen took out the drilling rig.
Even the king's storage space could not be opened, this guy who appeared out of nowhere was able to take out the items!
From the perspective of the aborigines, it is really incomprehensible.
But these are not important, the result of failure is the most important.
In the face of Guerta's questioning, Langdon Wordsworth's face hidden under the Nord Sunrise helmet immediately darkened.
"Is that how the two members of the Bloodfang Mercenary Group performed their hiring tasks?"
"If you can shoot early during the siege, it won't give the king a chance to escape!"
Langdon Wordsworth has a seventh-order strength, and is also within the epic rank according to the rank division, but is only half-rank weaker than Guerta and Letai.
He was a hero and the captain of a Nord royal guard.
Direct allegiance to Queen Sandina and accept her orders.
So when he faced Guerta, he didn't have the slightest fear. In fact, he was deeply dissatisfied with Guerta and Letai's inaction!
Facing Langdon Wordsworth's questioning, Guerta subconsciously wanted to get angry,
But the next moment, a dark shadow flashed beside him, and Le Tai showed his figure and pulled his arm, which made Guerta calm down a little.
The Bloodfang Mercenary Group is also considered to be the most powerful and large-scale mercenary group in the Endless Continent.
Small mercenary groups often stole themselves, and even acted against their employers and defected.
Those medium-sized mercenary groups and large mercenary groups are more concerned about reputation.
Failing to complete the hiring target is considered a mission failure. If they attack the employer again, once it is spread, they will also be punished by the mercenary group.
Merely failing the mission won't have much impact.
Just report the details.
Regarding these matters, the Bloodfang Mercenary Group has its own rules.
"Humph!"
Guerta snorted and said nothing.
Le Tai, who was on the side, took the initiative to fly forward and said to Langdon Wordsworth.
"Then this counts as a failure of our mission!"
"In that case, Guerta and I will leave on our own!"
In this regard, Langdon Wordsworth was noncommittal and continued on his way without saying a word, expressing his dissatisfaction with a tacit attitude.
Letai didn't care so much, and pulled Guerta to a stop.
I watched Langdon Wordsworth continue to pursue with hundreds of Nord royal guards.
They will continue to chase until King Ragnar is completely gone, even if the pursuit is in vain.
Just as they were chasing, another team would use the higher-level [Communication Crystal Tower] to pass the news.
It is then passed to Queen Sandina step by step.
The message can be delivered in as little as half an hour.
This is already unparalleled messaging speed.
After receiving the news, Queen Sandina was able to revise the next plan in time.
In such a vast kingdom scale, the general information transfer is from village to city to giant city.
Whether it is a magic letter or a flying beast, the speed and transmission distance are limited.
Even through the teleportation array, it takes a lot of time to transfer in the designated giant city.
The quickest way is [Communication Crystal Tower].
There is one in Zong Shen's territory, but it is only a fourth-order rare quality.
The maximum communication radius is 1000 kilometers.
The fifth-order [Communication Crystal Tower] can achieve communication within a radius of 10,000 kilometers.
The sixth-order [communication crystal tower] can achieve communication within a radius of 100,000 kilometers, and the maximum distance is infinitely close to 200,000 kilometers. There will be a few minutes of delay in communication, but compared to other methods, it is still the most efficient communication. !
As for the seventh-order [communication crystal tower], it has not yet been researched.
The radius distance scale of millions of kilometers is really amazing.
And the higher the crystal tower, the more difficult it is to build.
This can already be called the pinnacle of human magical energy communication technology in the mainland.
Even on Earth, communication on a scale of hundreds of thousands of kilometers is at the aerospace level.
After all, the distance from the earth to the moon is only 384,000 kilometers.
From this point of view, the Endless Continent is indeed not an ordinary big…
A normal kingdom will build a sixth-order and several fifth-order [communication crystal towers] to build a communication node centered on the imperial city.
Lower tier towers can merge into higher tier towers within range.
From this point of view, the [Communication Crystal Tower] of the Endless Continent actually has a technical concept similar to that of a communication node. However, due to various reasons and influences, crystal communication will definitely not be popularized and become an inclusive technology.
Therefore, as long as the king has not left the area, Queen Sandina will be able to receive the news first.
After grasping the opportunity, even if King Ragnar finally returns to Sagson alive, she can retreat completely, but the next civil war in the kingdom is probably inevitable!
...
Lerthai and Guerta were suspended in place.
"After leaving the chaos zone, use the directional teleportation rune to go to the nearest blood tooth stronghold."
"Since the mission has failed, there is no need to stay here."
"While the rapid flying effect on the body has not ended, I just hurry to leave the chaos zone."
"As long as we explain the situation, it should not be punished too harshly."
Le Tai put the blood-colored dagger back into the black scabbard on his waist, turned his head and said to Guerta.
His eyes were gloomy and indifferent like a viper that had failed to hunt.
However, seeing Guerta, a big man who has always been impatient, closed his eyes and felt silently.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, looked at Le Tai and said in a deep voice.
"The man stopped."
"The direction is to the northeast, thirty or forty kilometers away from here."
"And he's not in the damn underground!"
"We're going to find him now!"
Guerta swept the big axe around, carried it on his shoulders, and said aggressively.
When Le Tai heard the words, his eyes flashed vicious light.
"Then use his head to pay homage to this failure!"
When it comes to killing and reckoning, Le Tai's murderous nature is exposed.
Especially Zong Shen is not underground, which makes them not blocked by the stratum.
There is still a big difference between targets underground and on the ground in imprint induction.
Guerta and Letai, the two epic mercenaries, hit it off and decided to kill Zong Shen, the guy who affected them to complete the task, to comfort their dissatisfaction and violence!
There is one more update in the evening, and the debt will be repaid from January.
