Volume 19 Chapter 190 A False Alarm

After my analysis, Hongyue also realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. It's impossible for the other party to go through all the trouble just to send such a bunch of useless things to the Himalayas. They must have a plan to utilize these equipment, otherwise only fools would struggle to transport such heavy things up the mountain. However, the question now is, how do they want to use these things?

Along the way, we were chasing the group of people while speculating on their battle plan, but before we thought about what they were going to do, we encountered a problem first when we were chasing them.

"Bailang, what's going on?" I couldn't help but ask, looking at Bailang who was parked at the foot of a hillside and running around.

Bailang was minding his own business and ran back and forth a few times before turning back and saying to me, "The smell split into three streams and went in three directions."

"You mean they separated?"

"Yes." Bailang said: "The team was divided into three groups, one going all the way to the top of the mountain in front, and the other two groups going to the left and right respectively."

I quickly took out the map and looked at the terrain of the nearby area, and found that the road ahead led directly to Mount Everest, while the roads on the left and right pointed to two peaks near Mount Everest. Hongyue came over and looked at the map I unfolded, and then suddenly asked: "If we give up ground tracking and go directly to those mountain peaks, can we stop them in advance?"

I thought about it and felt that Hongyue's method was indeed possible, so I simply put away Bailang and Yeying, summoned the flying birds and jumped on them. Although Hongyue also has a guardian spear, its speed is not as fast as the flying bird, so she simply goes forward on the flying bird with me. Anyway, the size of the flying bird can carry three to four people in normal flight.

Because we were directly targeting the target and flying forward, our speed this time was much faster than before. No matter how fast Yeying is, it is still limited by Bailang's search speed. What's more, there is a steel claw behind us that drags down our overall speed. The speed of the entire team cannot exceed the limit speed of the steel claw, so no matter how fast Yeying is, it can still be used to its full potential. Not coming out. Besides, even if Yeying moved forward at full speed, he still couldn't outrun the flying bird. After all, he was considered to be the fastest among aerial units.

After getting on the Bird, the goal we chose was not to go directly to Mount Everest, but to one of the two peaks near Mount Everest. There are a large number of divine guards on the Mount Everest side. Even if the opponent brings a liquefied magic crystal steam bomb, they can't take advantage of it, so we set our target on the other two peaks without guards.

The opponent's speed cannot be increased at all with a heavy trebuchet, especially in the later stages. Mountain peaks usually get steeper as they reach the top, and the same is true for the Himalayas. The road ahead is fairly easy, but the trail behind becomes steeper and steeper. Before, they could barely drag the carriage forward with the brute force of the Earth Bear. Later, they simply abandoned the carriage and separated the humans and monsters to carry the dismantled trebuchet up the mountain. As for that' Of course, the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank cannot be carried on a person's back, but these guys found a strange creature with sharp claws. This creature looks a bit like a lion, but its body is covered with scales. At first glance, it looks a bit like some types of unicorn, but I am sure that it is definitely not a unicorn, because unicorns will never let them drive around casually. Be a beast of burden.

Relying on this small but extremely powerful creature, those guys brought the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank to the peak near Mount Everest. The reason why I know so clearly the process and results of their move is because I'm watching those guys right now. Although they set out three days earlier than us, because they were carrying their belongings, they almost arrived at their destination a few minutes earlier than us. Until they came into our sight, they were still looking at each person one by one. Unloading parts on the ground.

If it were the real world, this huge trebuchet would definitely not be able to be moved to the top of the mountain unless a helicopter was used. But luckily this is a game, where players' physical fitness is countless times better than that of real people, and those physically powerful Warcraft are better than any transportation equipment. The trebuchet is indeed very big when installed, but the really big part is just the ejection arm in the middle that acts as a lever. After the other parts are disassembled, the largest one is only the size of three or four rails. Considering the physical ability of the players in the game, most people can move something as big as a sleeper as long as they are not a mage or assassin.

After successfully discovering the target, I did not take action immediately but first let the birds hover in the sky. Although the altitude here has exceeded the height of the clouds, so we have no clouds to cover us, but since we are flying relatively high, it is impossible for those below to notice us without paying attention. At this time, these people were busy unloading their belongings, and no one had time to stare at the sky, so we could safely observe their actions.

After these people removed all the scattered parts, they began to assemble the parts under the command of a few people who looked like they were technical people. Although this large trebuchet is already a quite mature design, it is a large equipment after all, and assembly is not as simple as imagined. Those people spent more than half an hour on the top of the mountain to roughly assemble the thing.

Installing the trebuchet is not the end, you still have to dig the fixed piles. Although the trebuchet does not recoil when it fires like a cannon, it will produce a swinging force when it fires. This force will cause the entire trebuchet to experience a vibration from front to back. The force process determines that if the trebuchet cannot be fixed on a flat ground, it will shake violently when firing. Originally, the trebuchet was not a precise weapon. If it shook when it was fired, coupled with the strong winds in the Himalayas, they would be able to deflect the projectile by at least a few kilometers with a range of five to six kilometers. Although the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank is no less powerful than a small atomic bomb if it explodes, it can't be too distorted, right?

Watching the group of people hummingly driving piles and stuffing wood blocks to fix the trebuchet, Hongyue and I became more and more confused. From where we are, we can clearly see the mountain peak that serves as the launching position and the City of Commandments not far away. The distance between the two is not too far, just over ten kilometers. But the problem is that although the cannon can hit this distance, it is an absolutely impossible distance for the trebuchet. What on earth does the opponent want to do by setting up a trebuchet in a place like this? Are they planning to use trebuchets to throw people to the foot of Mount Everest and then have people attack the mountain? Not to mention the divine guards on the mountain, even their number of personnel is definitely a problem. There are at most thirty people around this launch point, including players and NPCs. Even if you include those Warcraft, the number will not exceed a hundred. Three firing points plus one are not enough for 300 people. Even if they attack all themselves and the Warcraft into the City of Commandments, what can they do? These few people are not enough for the Gods to kill.

After thinking about it, I still can't figure out what they are trying to do. What these people are doing is clearly an impossible task, but they just do it. There is definitely a reason for this, we just can’t think of it. Anyway, I don’t think those people would be stupid enough to do something that is destined to fail.

Because I couldn't figure out what these people were going to do, I simply let the bird fly around the mountain peak, and I easily found two other launch points. Just like here, these two places are also busy assembling trebuchets. The faster group has begun to adjust the final angle, but I still don't know what they are going to do.

Hongyue saw that someone in the fastest group was already checking the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank, and asked uncontrollably: "Are we going to launch an attack immediately to destroy their trebuchet? It seems like they have already We're about to start throwing. If we don't take action, they will really do it first. Although we don't know what they are going to do, it can't be a good thing for us, right?"

I thought for a while and nodded: "It's really not a good thing. Let's do it separately. Inform the gods in the city to kill the enemies on the hill to the west. You keep your eyes on this side, and I'll go and kill the people on the hill to the east. Lose."

Hong Yue nodded and said: "That's it. I'd like you to go over to inform me." After saying that, Hong Yue stood up and kicked Fei Niiao's back. The whole person was immediately thrown out, and he quickly summoned himself in the air. She landed on the back of the spear as if she were playing with a surfboard. After seeing that she was stable, I let the bird speed up and fly over the City of Commandments. After notifying the gods here, I quickly flew to the launch point on the top of the mountain to the east.

Because the distance was very close, it only took a minute for me to circle in this way. I had agreed with Rose before that we would delay our attack for five minutes, so I did not launch an attack when I arrived but continued to circle at high altitude. Watching the timer count down, when there were six or seven seconds left, I slapped the bird and shouted, "It's now. Dive, dive." With that, I stood up from the bird and looked like a red bird. Yue stepped on the bird's back like that.

Even though we were at a high altitude, it didn't take five seconds to dive down at the speed of a flying bird. When the flying bird was still more than two hundred meters away from the ground, it suddenly started to brake rapidly. At the same time, I heard the scream of the air speed brake on the flying bird, and as the flying bird almost stopped at its speed, In an instant, the four combustion chamber air inlets in front of him suddenly sprayed out four transparent air masses at the same time.

The sound pressure bomb skill has been upgraded to a more powerful thunder bomb as Asuka's level increases. Don't confuse this skill with the skill in "Invincible Heroes". Although the two have the same name, they are actually two completely unrelated skills. The flying bird's thunder bomb is a soft bomb that induces a directional burst of high-pressure air mass to produce lethality. Its killing effect is somewhat similar to that of a shock bomb. It basically does not kill the target directly, but it can cause a wide range of damage, and It is usually accompanied by negative effects such as severe dizziness, coma, deafness, and loss of balance. It can be said to be the best partner for sneak attacks on Yin people.

The Sancaihui gang had already discovered us when Feiniao slowed down, but discovery is discovery, and in terms of reaction, their nerves couldn't keep up with the speed. Just when they were all stunned there, Asuka's thunderous bombs flew out, and two of the four bombs directly hit the trebuchet. The entire trebuchet was torn apart in an instant and was blown to pieces. At the same time, the splinters and shock waves flying everywhere also swept down a large number of people. In contrast, the other two explosive bombs that hit the ground were not so powerful.

I had already jumped away from the flying bird at the same time that the explosive bomb was fired, and then after the explosion, I just landed more than two meters above the ground. It can be said that I almost fell on the shock wave of the explosion. But just when I was about to hit the ground, I suddenly heard a loud bang from behind, and at the same time, a huge shock wave directly lifted me sideways and flew out. The originally prepared landing posture was completely disrupted. I rolled and climbed down the side of the mountain and rolled along the hillside for dozens of meters before I finally stabilized my body.

"Damn it, Hongyue, what's going on over there?" After I started flying again, I didn't care to look at the enemies on my side. Anyway, they couldn't make any waves without the trebuchet. Compared to them, the huge fireball rising on the mountain not far away attracted my attention more. That is the area that Hong Yue is responsible for, and now this fireball has encompassed the entire mountain peak. The huge fireball even made me vaguely feel the blazing heat even when I stood so far away. In addition to the 'liquefaction' The magic crystal steam storage tank exploded. I really can't think of anything else that could make such a big noise.

I finished shouting into the crystal communicator, and after waiting for two seconds, I heard nothing. However, after a few seconds, the voice of the God of War appeared in the communicator. "President, Vice-President Hongyue is unconscious. He should be not far from you."

"How do you know?" I asked as I called Asuka over.

"The energy detection crystal in the City of Commandment just sensed a high energy release, so I used the Tower of Babel to scan the area, and I just found the scene where the vice president was knocked unconscious by the shock wave."

"I understand. Point me in the direction." I said as I started to run, then I rushed to the edge of the mountain in three steps and jumped out. The flying bird rushed past me, and after catching me, it immediately accelerated and flew in the direction of the explosion.

Seeing me leaving, those Sancai people who originally thought they were dead this time finally took a breath, but just when they reacted and were about to leave with the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank, they suddenly felt something behind them. There was a sound, but when I turned around, I realized that there were two dragons standing behind me.

Saving Hongyue is of course important, but how could I let those people transport the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank away? In fact, when I jumped on the flying bird, I had already released Lucky and Plague. With the two of them here, the guys who had been stunned by the flying bird couldn't even think of running away.

"Military God, direction."

"Just in your direction, look down."

"Oh okay, I think I saw it."

After retrieving the bird, I spread my wings and glided directly to Hongyue, but it seemed that she could handle it on her own without me rescuing her. Hongyue was sitting up from the ground when I arrived. Seeing a pair of legs in front of her, she immediately turned over and jumped up, but relaxed after seeing clearly that it was me. After looking around, she asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

I pointed to the rising fireball above my head and said, "You made such a big noise, do you think I can come over and take a look?" After hearing this, Hongyue sighed helplessly, feeling that she was completely discouraged. Like a rubber ball. I directly put my arm around her shoulders and patted her, then comforted her: "It's okay, isn't it just a liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank? Anyway, we didn't lose it. Even if we can't get it back, the Northern Alliance will have to Give me money. Mistakes are inevitable in battle, so don’t blame yourself."

Hongyue sighed again after hearing my words: "If I had made a mistake, I wouldn't be so sad! This time I am really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

"what's up?"

Hongyue said dejectedly: "They are all idiots with three talents. When I rushed down at a good time, someone was checking the pressure valve of the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank. As a result, he became nervous because of my sudden appearance. I unscrewed the valve. Then a guy with his back to the storage tank didn't see that the storage tank behind had begun to leak. Then he released an attack magic at me, but the magic was not released yet. I first exploded the entire liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank. Do you think I didn’t read the almanac when I went out today?"

"Hahahaha... Such bad luck can happen to you, you are indeed very unlucky!"

"You're still laughing!" Hongyue couldn't help but slap me, and just when he was about to say something else, we suddenly heard a loud bang again, but this time the location was closer than before. A lot, and I saw the moment of the explosion almost simultaneously.

"Damn, what's going on with those protoss?" I was surprised to find that the explosion point was not on the top of the opposite mountain, but halfway up Mount Everest. In other words, it was not the protoss over there who detonated the 'liquid' demon. The crystal steam storage tank was thrown out by San Cai Hui.

Hongyue turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw the fireball, and then cursed angrily: "These trash, they can't handle a few players even though there are so many people there. How did they, the Gods, get to do this?"

Hongyue was getting angry when she suddenly heard another bang. Different from the previous explosion, this time the sound sounded crisper, and there was no rumbling sound. It didn't sound like an explosion, but like the sound of something breaking. While we were wondering, we suddenly saw rocks starting to roll down on Mount Everest, and they were getting bigger and bigger. In the end, we could even see the entire mountain shaking and collapsing downwards.

"Holy crap, right? Did they originally plan to blow up the mountain?" Now I finally understand the intentions of the Sancaihui gang. Of course they knew that the trebuchet's range could not reach the City of Commandments. The reason why they did this even though they knew it would not work was entirely because they had no intention of attacking the City of Commandments in the first place. They plan to collapse Mount Everest to cause the City of Commandment to collapse as well.

Looking at the crumbling mountain peaks, Hongyue and I were surprised, but our faces were calm. It’s not that we don’t care about the City of Commandments, but it’s because the City of Commandments is actually a floating city. Yes, the City of Discipline seems to be built on the top of Mount Everest, but in fact it is floating in the air. The entire city does not rely on the mountains to bear weight at all. It is like tying a hydrogen balloon to the ground and then destroying the line. The line here is not responsible for load-bearing at all. Without it, the balloon will only fly up and not land. Similarly, the City of Commandment can also levitate itself. The mountain falling has no effect on it at all.

Poor those unlucky guys from Sancai Hui, they have been working in vain for so long because they got the structure of the City of Commandments wrong. It is estimated that their president will have to strangle the guy who provided the information ten times to relieve his anger.
