Starting From Zero

Chapter 66 Back Home

"Emenis! Use illusions to drive them away!" I ordered to Emenes on the back of the armored dragon next to me.

Amynis nodded and immediately began to create illusions. Because Amynis uses refraction illusion, although it is not aimed at us, we can still see it. I saw a cavalry team almost identical to ours on the grassland in front of Little Japan rushing over, forming an encirclement on both sides. In fact, what's over there is just a mirage-like phantom. Amynis directly copied our image on the opposite side, except that the overly obvious features of me and my familiars were removed.

Amynis directly simulated the sound and vibration in Little Japan's mind. They could hear the deafening sound of horse hooves from the fake cavalry team ahead, but I couldn't hear anything from my side. Amynis's auditory illusion only works on the subject!

The little Japanese led by Okamoto immediately turned around and wanted to run into the nearby city. Emmenis immediately made a similar appearance of cavalry running out of the city gate. Now all the little Japanese were desperate. They stopped in place in panic, and everyone formed a circle back to back to prepare for the last resistance.

Of course, we here know that those are all illusions, and the impact formation remains unchanged. Because I am not at a high level and don’t have the armor, it is not convenient, so I slowly move to the side of the team to make way. Because the armored dragon was too big, running in front would affect the overall effect, so it was moved to the side. Now the impact team has become a pure cavalry team. The demon knights in the first row all took out their shields that they didn't usually use much. They didn't take weapons, they just simply raised their shields. The team accelerated again, and the tremors on the ground were close to the feeling of a major earthquake.

Okamoto was startled when he saw the menacing cavalry. He originally thought that we would surround them first, but he didn't expect that except for the cavalry in the direction of the city gate, the cavalry on the other two sides not only had no intention of slowing down, but were getting closer and closer. The sooner!

"Okamoto-kun, are they going to hit us?"

"Probably not!" Okamoto's voice sounded like he didn't even believe it. "There are only eight of us. If they collide at this speed, there will be at least hundreds of casualties. Wouldn't they trample us to death?"

Just after the demon knights rushed less than 100 meters away from them, the cavalry on the opposite side and the cavalry at the city gate suddenly disappeared. Okamoto shouted almost immediately: "No, I've been fooled! The other party has a high-level illusionist!"

It's a pity that he shouted late. Scott shouted excitedly: "Pump these bastards down!"

The response from the back was neatly: "Kill!"

The little Japanese who were originally in a circle immediately dispersed and tried to escape, but the cavalry were too fast and they had no time to dodge. The eyes of all the little Japanese were filled with fear, and then they were hit by a cavalry team like a train.

The eight Japanese instinctively used their weapons to resist, but the first row was full of demon knights. The attack power of a group skill launched by a level 850 boss can be imagined. The demon knight's shield easily broke the Japanese weapons into several pieces, and then knocked them to the ground, both men and horses. In order to create an effect, I deliberately did not turn on the PK mode. Although the impact of the demon knights was very powerful, not a single Japanese was killed. This is what I hope. If they were killed directly, it would be too cheap for them.

After the demon spirit knights came my army of thousands of horses and horses. Five thousand iron cavalry and twenty thousand horse hooves gave them a good experience of the power of iron hoofs. Now I feel a little regretful, I should have equipped all my cavalry with pedals like the Demon Knights! At first I only prepared one for the Demon Knights and Night Shadows, but now it seems I should also prepare one for the Cavalry. The activity of stepping on people seems to suit my style!

The survivability of the little Japanese was much higher than that of the scoundrel who was trampled to death. After the cavalry brigade, there were actually 5 little Japanese survivors, and only one mage and two archers died. However, the mounts of these 8 people have disappeared, and the war horses are not as powerful as the players!

The Demon Knight led the team and immediately stopped the team after stepping over Xiaonippon. Scott ran to the side of the team and pushed his mask, looking at me and asking what I meant. I shook my head to show my dissatisfaction, raised my right hand, extended my index finger towards the ground, and then drew a horizontal circle. Scott nodded to show that he understood, put the mask down again and ran back. The cavalry team quickly turned around and rushed towards Little Japan again. Three of the five little Japanese alive were still able to get up. They wanted to run away, but how could they be the opponents of the cavalry without mounts!

Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, four people were trampled to the ground again, and Okamoto actually ran out to avoid the attack. None of the four people who were stepped on survived, and they all turned into meat pies. After Scott stopped the team, he caught up with Okamoto alone, and a rope noose accurately fell on his neck. Scott's horse-roping skills were so good that he actually hit it in one shot! Okamoto felt something was tied around his neck. He wanted to get some, but the rope tightened immediately and stuck his neck firmly. Scott tied the rope to the saddle, turned around and ran away. Okamoto was taken flying up. In order to relieve the pressure on his neck, he could only hold on to the rope with both hands to prevent himself from being strangled.

But if you don't get strangled, that doesn't mean you won't die. Being dragged by a horse is not a good thing. Once you experience it, you will never forget it.

Scot's flight suddenly stopped, and Okamoto rolled out sideways. Four other rope nooses flew over. Okamoto, who was already dying, was about to cover the wound on his face with his hands, but suddenly he felt that his hands were covered with ropes. Before he could react, his feet were also covered with ropes. Living. Scott commanded the horse to walk over, tightened the rope and lifted him up, letting Okamoto sit on the ground.

Only then did I direct Ye Ying to come over: "Your name is Okamoto, right?"

He didn't answer but just looked at me.

"You came to China this time just for that Shadow Wolf Pill, right? What on earth is that? What do you want it for? Could it be your national weapon?"

"The samurai of Great Japan will never surrender. Don't expect to know anything from me!" Although Okamoto is Japanese, his heroic spirit is still admirable!

"Because you are a tough guy, I won't 'force' you. I'll ask you one last time, do you want to tell me?"

"Hmph!" Okamoto answered me with only his nose!

I waved to the five demon knights, including Scott, who were pulling the rope, "Disperse!"

The five demon knights immediately turned around and ran away in five directions. Oops, Okamoto turned into six parts. Scott even threw away the rope. There was too much dirt stuck on it, so he just threw it away. Anyway, he would repaint it later.

"The team reorganized, let's go home!" I took the entire set of armor from Ling's hand and put it on, then led the team to prepare to return to Essinger, but when I turned around, I saw a large crowd standing in the distance. Almost all the players by the forest just gathered here. Many people were pointing fingers at us over there, obviously saying something very bad. The last thing we did just now was to cut Okamoto into pieces. These players should have seen it, but I think they all thought of me as the boss!

Seeing that I was in a daze, the cavalry team stopped. The queue had been organized and they were just waiting for my next order. "Master?" Ling woke me up carefully.

"kindness!"

"Are we leaving?"

"Let's go!" I finally calmed down. "gone !"

In order to leave this place as quickly as possible, we continued to run at a rapid march. Although the players behind pointed at us, no one dared to intercept the cavalry regiment and just watched us disappear into the distance.

The next trip was relatively smooth, running all the way to Essinger. When I arrived at the city gate, countless craftsmen were hoisting the giant city gate. Su Mei was standing next to it with a big iron horn on a rock and directing the hoisting. When she saw me coming, she just smiled and waved at me, instead of running over. She is really a good child who puts her career first!

Xiaoyao Daodao ran over first. "The city lord is back?"

"Haha! I wasn't even here to build the city, but you workers are so busy, I'm so sorry!"

"What are you talking about? Didn't we get paid?"

"By the way, are you installing a city gate?"

"Yes! This is the plan of our chief designer Miss Su Mei. We verified it and it is very practical!" Xiaoyao Daodao took out a drawing and compared it with the drawing and pointed at the actual object to explain to me. "Because this passage is too long, we think it is more appropriate to divide it into several gates. The outermost gate is the strongest defensive gate, and the ones behind it are ordinary metal gates. The main body of this defensive gate is what you see now The entire rock has been polished. The total width is 45 meters, and there is a 7.5-meter extension on each side, which coincides with the depression dug out on the city wall, so that the city gate will not move back and forth and can only stay in its original position. The earth rose and fell.”

I looked at the giant rock. The countless cables hanging from the top of the city wall and several giant winches on the ground all illustrate the weight of this thing. "This rock is so big and cannot be moved back and forth. How are we going to get in and out in the future? Will this thing still be a city gate when it is put down? Didn't you seal the entire city wall?"

Xiaoyao Daodao quickly explained: "This thing is indeed very heavy. It weighs more than 700,000 tons. If this was not a game world and there were many mages who could help, there would be no way to move such a big rock! But that’s why we chose it as a city gate. Think about it, it weighs 700,000 tons and is more than 500 meters thick. What city gate can be stronger than it?”

"It's strong enough, but you can't block the city gate for me?"

"It's not blocked! You can raise the city gate when needed! Besides, the city gate is not closed at ordinary times. There is no need to close it until there is a war!"

"Rise up?" I looked at the rock that was almost a mountain again. "This thing is almost one million tons. Lift it up? Who will lift it up? Will all the players in the city come up together if the door is opened once?"

At this time, Sumei ran over and handed the horn to Xiaoyao Daodao. "You go and direct the rest of the work! Leave it to me here!" After Xiaoyao Daodao ran away, she said to me: "How is my design?"

"Although I really want to praise you, you asked someone to block the door of my house. What do you want me to say?"

"Who blocked your door?"

I pointed to the rock that was already in place. "Look! It weighs 700,000 tons! The door is blocked tightly. How do you want me to get out?"

"Tch! A layman is indeed a layman!" Su Mei was very disdainful of me. She waved to the workers over there. "Remove all the lifting tools and test the city gate opening device immediately!"

"Yes!" Several NPC workers immediately went to direct the dismantling of winches and other large tools.

I looked at Su Mei and said, "You're not going to let Ying and the others buy some magic equipment from the Dark Temple while I'm away, right? My current funds are just enough. If I use one more crystal coin, I'll owe another crystal coin." Debt! Even the wages of these hired workers are all obtained by me selling out my sex partner (Dragon King)!"

"Look how distressed you are!" Su Mei looked amazing. "Don't worry, it only cost 000 crystal coins!"

"000 crystal coins? Is there any equipment that can lift 700,000 tons for only 000 crystal coins?"

"These 000 crystal coins are not equipment money, they are labor money! I spent 15,000 crystal coins to hire someone to build a giant water tank, and also built a wall and drilled a few holes. Another 5,000 crystal coins to hire an NPC mage to make a Large permanent teleportation array. It’s that simple!”

"No! Can this stone be raised with just a little work? That thing weighs 700,000 tons, not 70 kilograms!"

"I know you won't believe it, let's see the actual situation!"

The city gate is now completely sealed by rocks. That rock is like a sluice, with both ends embedded in the city wall. It is as stable as a mountain. I really don't know how to move it! The workers commanded by Sumei quickly dismantled things such as winches, and everyone around them quickly evacuated to a safe distance. Sumei contacted the person who controlled the gate activator via private message, and the gate activator was opened.

We waited for a minute after the order was given to start, but the door didn't move at all. I thought the experiment had failed! Just when I was about to ask what was going on, I saw the giant rock shaking and stirring up a lot of smoke. The stone gate began to rise very slowly, and two strip-shaped supporting walls appeared below the stone gate. The thickness of the supporting wall is about one meter, and the length is the same as the city gate, which is 500 meters. Although only two walls can be seen, there are actually four walls here, because the two walls on both sides are sunken into the city wall, so Out of sight.

The four supporting surfaces rose very slowly, and the giant rocks above were slowly pushed up. Just like a sluice opening, the city gate actually opened and rose upwards. Calculated from the time when the city gate started to rise, the entire opening time was about 4 minutes, plus the 1 minute when there was no movement at the beginning, it should be 5 minutes. Although the speed is very slow, it is a miracle that it can be opened!

After the city gate is fully raised, the higher it is from the ground, the higher it is. Most things should be able to pass through. The four supporting walls turn the city gate into three door openings. Although it is narrower than before, the wider door opening in the middle has a distance of nearly meters, which is enough. The city gates of the three main cities in the system are not as small as mine. The door is wide!

Su Mei didn't seem to be completely satisfied, so she ordered the door to be closed and tried again. In fact, I am more concerned about the speed of closing the door than opening the door. After all, after the war is over, no one cares about waiting a few more minutes to go out. But if the closing speed is too slow, the enemies will rush in and the city gate is still open, which will be bad! I thought I had to wait for a minute before closing the door, but I saw the door starting to lower just as I gave the order. The gate descended very quickly, at least much faster than it rose. In about thirty seconds, the city gate closed with a bang.

After repeated experiments of opening and closing the door 5 times, the door could not be closed the sixth time. The first five times were all successful, but this time it failed. The door was descending at an almost invisible speed, and it was completely closed at this speed. The gate should be opened in an hour!

"What's going on?" I pointed to the door that was neither up nor down. "Do you guarantee repairing this thing?"

"It's okay. This is normal. The No. 2 water tank is full. It will be fine once it is drained!"

"sink?"

"Well! This is the main part of the door-opening mechanism I designed for you! The supporting walls you see are actually very deep, and they run through the ground to the No. 1 sink underground. This sink is actually a sealed room. There are A giant steel water tank. These support walls are actually connected to the water tank. There is a pipe on top of the tank, which is directly connected to the sea. There is a gate in the pipe. The No. 2 tank is under the No. 1 tank. , there are also pipe connections between the two. The teleportation array I spent 100 crystal coins on is at the bottom of the No. 2 water tank. The above things constitute your door opening system."

"Let me think about it!" I roughly put these things together in my brain, and it was easy to understand the working principle. The supporting wall stands on top of the water tank, which is inside the No. 1 sink. As long as the water inlet pipe of the No. 1 tank is opened, the seawater will flow into the No. 1 tank due to the height difference. When the water tank is filled with water, the water tank will of course float. As long as the water tank is large enough, it is not difficult to lift 700,000 tons of rocks. It is indeed not difficult to simply create a floating object with a displacement of more than 700,000 tons. We are good at Long Yuan. There are several giant cargo ships of one million tons. When these water tanks float, they push the supporting walls up, and then the city gate above is raised. This is the opening action. When you need to close the door, it's even easier, just open the connecting pipe between the No. 1 sink and the No. 2 sink. Sink No. 2 is just below No. 1. As soon as the pipe is opened, the water automatically flows down. The No. 1 water tank was emptied, the water tank naturally dropped with the water surface, and the city gate was closed. Although a large amount of water has been injected into the No. 2 water tank, there is a large teleportation array inside, which can pump out all the water, just like the water pump used by the Temple of Light when attacking the Lost City. It's just that I It's fixed. In order to be able to open and close the city gate multiple times in a short period of time, the No. 2 water tank is obviously larger than the No. 1 water tank, but no matter how big it is, there will be a time when it is full. This is the situation now. The No. 2 water tank is full, and the teleportation array is too busy, so the water in the No. 1 water tank cannot be discharged. As a result, the city gate cannot be lowered! It seems that now we can only wait for the teleportation array in the No. 2 water tank to drain out the water quickly!

Anyway, we need to use the city gate now, so we simply close the gate between the No. 1 water tank and the No. 2 water tank, then open the water inlet of the No. 1 water tank and directly raise the city gate first. I really didn’t expect Su Mei’s design to be so simple. A simple mechanism with almost no technical content helped me build a giant city gate. Her design ability has reached the point of returning to simplicity, simplifying complex problems!

Compared to the first city gate, the ones behind it are nothing. The second city gate is two large stone slabs two meters thick. There is a sliding track underneath. Su Mei also installed train-like metal wheels on it, allowing it to slide back and forth on the track, thus becoming a sliding door. . The door panels on both sides can be pushed into the city wall, and they can be pulled out manually when needed. There is a ground lock in the middle. As long as the pin is pulled open, it will automatically lock and cannot move! However, this door must be opened and closed manually. Although it has wheels, it is impossible to close them without ten or twenty people!

After that, there are more normal wooden doors covered with metal skin. They use the traditional loose-leaf design. Because the center is made of wood, the weight is easier to accept.

The two-kilometer-long passage on the entire outer wall of Essinger is densely covered with five gates. If it weren't for time, Su Mei would have planned to build another super gate like the first one at the end.

After passing through these five gates, I finally entered the city. This place is very different from when I left. Most of the houses have a basic shape, and some public facilities such as fountains and sculptures also have a rough outline. Looks like it.

While admiring it, Big Pot Rice ran out from the inner city. "Boss, I just heard that you are back, so I just happened to come over and help you take a look!"

"what are you looking?"

"What the Dark Temple gave you, your dragon didn't bring the cannon back, so it brought that thing back first. We are studying what that thing is used for!"

"Okay, let's go take a look!"
