Chapter 300 The Abnormal Island
With Ghost Hand Nobunaga and Yamata no Orochi gone, our mood immediately relaxed. The only people on the scene who wanted to fight were the little demons and the Japanese players who were the main fighting faction. However, the demons have all been suppressed by the demon king and are now gathering to leave, so they no longer pose any threat. As for those militants, without the presence of other forces, they really can't make any trouble on their own.
Not all people in a country are the same. There will be some of all kinds of people, and the difference is just a matter of how much. In the same way, militants and peaceful people will inevitably exist in a country at the same time. The difference is just how much. Generally speaking, when a country has a problem, whether it is political, economic, or military, in short, it is in trouble and the national satisfaction with the country reaches a dangerous value. , the number of militants in this country will increase. This is a way to relieve stress, just like people want to throw things to vent when they are too stressed. People in the country feel that life is too stressful, and they will want to launch wars abroad to vent the pressure caused by this. no in good mood. The reason why Japanese militarists received support during World War II had a lot to do with the survival pressure of the Japanese people at that time.
However, Japan is still far from reaching that point, so it can be said that there are far more normal-thinking people in Japan than those militants. Therefore, we are not afraid of these militants at all. After all, the number is too small and there is no grassroots support. By. Such forces pose no threat at all.
The monsters are retreating, and the militants are no threat. Naturally, there is no need for us and Matsumoto Masaga to stay here anymore. The two sides said some scene words to each other and then everyone separated. After all, Matsumoto Masaga was not alone. There were also a large group of Japanese guild leaders behind him, so the conversation between the two of us It must be more official, at least so that other Japanese players will not be able to find a reason to blame Matsumoto Masa after hearing about this matter.
Although the things here in Fulcrum City are completed, I can't take any time off from my hard work. It’s not that I don’t want to rest, it’s just that there are so many things going on that I don’t have time to rest. Things in Fulcrum City here are no longer important. The remaining matters were left to the local person in charge to handle. I followed other guild executives back to Essinger, and we only stayed in Essinger for less than half an hour and simply opened a After a small meeting, they immediately went their separate ways.
Our guild has its own power distribution all over the world, and each region needs someone who can control the scene. Therefore, the top leaders of the guild are generally separated. Of course, Essinger will usually have half of its personnel stationed there, and its main role is to provide timely reinforcements in the event of emergencies. However, our elf city in South America is still in the city-forming stage. The main city and peripheral areas transformed from the Tree of Life have been completed, but the city is still basically empty. Population migration and the construction of defense facilities all require manpower. Even if we contract the responsibility to the elves, it does not mean that we can be the hands-off shopkeepers. This is like renovating your own house. Could it be that you have just hired a construction team to contract it and then just ignored it? Obviously impossible. You may not need to intervene in the specific construction. But there are definitely a lot of things you need to do.
Because this Elf City consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, if it cannot be completed immediately, it will cause a backlog of funds, which is very bad for the operation of a large guild, so. Construction here cannot stop. However, now besides the construction of this elf city. The Russian side is also extremely troublesome. Naturally, someone needs to keep an eye on the border issue. But now the only one who is not tied to death and can be used as a mobile force is me, the president.
Now I am the only one in the entire guild who does not have a fixed task, so of course I have to deal with any emergencies that arise, and the thing that currently prevents me from resting is that damn mysterious bomb.
Previously, when Yamata no Orochi and the others were secretly preparing to attack Fulcrum City, a Korean fleet appeared in Japanese territorial waters as their reinforcements. At that time, I went to scout this place, but was killed by the opponent's self-destruction in an instant. According to the information collected by our guild afterwards, the explosion not only killed me and the two accompanying people, but also triggered a tsunami, which directly caused Fulcrum City to be severely damaged, and several nearby Japanese cities were not spared either. . According to the records in the memory crystal that I checked afterwards, the power of that explosion actually reached and exceeded the power of a small nuclear weapon.
Ordinarily, the legion-level magic in the game, that is, the forbidden spell, is about as powerful as a nuclear weapon, so we shouldn't be surprised by the appearance of such a bomb. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that this thing is actually much more powerful than legion-level magic.
Legion-level magic requires dozens of ordinary mages to serve as magic batteries, and a senior wizard with outstanding strength to guide it. The entire spell-casting process often takes more than ten minutes, and can easily be interrupted and cause backlash during the process.
In contrast, although I didn't see the Korean bomb itself, it only took a few minutes from the time I entered the enemy ship to the time it detonated? According to this calculation, even if the bomb cannot be detonated instantly, the preparation time is definitely very short.
One is a magic that takes more than ten minutes to prepare, and the other is a bomb that explodes in one click. Even though the power is about the same, which one do you think is more useful? Apparently a bomb. Not only because of the short preparation time, bombs can also be stored in advance, while magic can only be released on the spot. What? You said you can make magic scrolls? A legion-level magic scroll? According to the rule that scrolls are one level higher than spells, scrolls for legion-level spells must be god-level. Considering that a mage can only make scrolls that are one level lower than his own strength, who will make the god-level scrolls? A higher god? Why would they need a scroll if they could beg for it? Just wave your hand and send your enemy's entire country to land and sink, and that's it. Why are you playing with scrolls?
Considering that the Korean bomb is really powerful, we obviously have to make a trip anyway, and everyone is very busy now. Of course I was the only one who went. However, even if you go to South Korea, you can't just investigate casually. We must first understand the situation before speaking.
While riding a bird flying at high speed in the sky, I was cursing the damn pride of Korean players. Originally, our guild had a city in South Korea, so I could use the transnational teleportation array to teleport to South Korea. However, those Korean players all have great national pride. They feel that building a city in their country is like building a toilet on their ancestral grave. The resistance is fierce. Even if we used the lease method to build the city, it was useless, we still destroyed it every three days. In the end, we were really annoyed and couldn't stand it, and in order to attract Korean players to deal with Japan together. So he was forced to make a compromise and sold the city to a Korean guild. Although the guild has repeatedly stated that it does not mind us setting up transnational teleportation arrays in the city, we are not stupid. The transnational teleportation array is such an important thing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is similar to a satellite launch base. Do you think we can safely put that kind of thing in other people's cities? You must know that even the transnational teleportation arrays in our own cities have bombs buried under them, and they can self-destruct when necessary. How can we build something like this in other people’s cities?
Because of the above reasons, now we don’t have our own city in South Korea, and if I want to go to South Korea, I have to fly by myself. Of course you can also take a boat, but at that speed I will probably go crazy before I get anywhere!
Although the teleportation array cannot be used, the speed of the flying bird is still good. Besides, I did not fly directly from Essinger to South Korea. Instead, I teleported to the nearest seaside city to South Korea and then took off from here. In supersonic flight mode. Soon we arrived at an island belonging to South Korea.
This island actually does not exist in reality. Although the main world map of "Zero" is based on the real earth, it is only a reference. There are still many differences in it. This island is an island that does not exist in reality, but since it has been added, it means that it has some meaning. certainly. Players rarely study these, after all, they are not directly related to their own battles. And even if it is researched, not all the modified places have any special significance. Some terrain modifications are simply because the original terrain is too monotonous, and the designers want to add some changes.
Although the island in front of you does not hide any secrets, it is different from ordinary terrain modifications because this island was designed for fighting. In fact, the location of this island is very good. It is just stuck on the waterway between China, Japan and South Korea. And it originally came from the storm belt, the so-called national barrier.
To put it simply, this island originally did not belong to any country. Now it has become Korean territory only because it was occupied by Korean players. When the national war system was opened, some passages appeared on the national barrier. Although these passages are not completely unobstructed, they are much safer than other locations. Therefore, personnel exchanges between different countries basically rely on these channels. The island in front of me is just stuck on such a public channel for the three countries. Although the sea area near it looks similar to the sea area elsewhere, the number of marine monsters in this waterway is more than 70% less than in other areas, and the remaining 30% strength is generally lower.
Don't think that because our guild's fleet is roaming around the world, we really think that the ocean is not dangerous. In fact, not only in reality but in the game, the ocean is a very dangerous place. The sea beasts in this game are not ordinary. Look at the many countries in the world. How many countries have the ability to move their fleets around the world? Anyone who can carry out ocean voyages is a very powerful fleet, either with a large number of heavy weapons or with masters in charge. Otherwise, if they encounter sea monsters, they will definitely be chewed up and not even the dregs will be left.
Because not all guilds have the same ocean-going fleet as our guild, unless our fleet happens to go to sea, and everyone has the same destination and can escort them by the way, under normal circumstances, players in ordinary guilds need to take these routes when traveling. The system is open to natural waterways. This shows how important these waterways are, and being stuck on such a waterway, it is not difficult for you to imagine the huge value of this island.
Of course, there are many people who want to take possession of an island of such huge value. In fact, we and the Japanese had both considered this place before, and the Japanese even occupied this island for a period of time. And a city was built on the island. The fortress city on the island now was first built by Japanese players, but later our guild layer attacked the island. As a result, the Japanese were driven into the sea. However, when we were preparing to occupy this place, the Russian invasion happened, and then we temporarily gave up here. The reason for giving up was to exchange help.
At that time, the power of our guild was entrusted to Japan, and the Russians invaded our country. We needed to withdraw from Japan as soon as possible and engage in the homeland defense war. At that time, the Koreans came out and made this deal with us, and the island and the above were bombed into pieces. The cities that had become completely white were handed over to Korean players, at the cost of which the Korean guilds would take over our defense lines to temporarily block the Japanese pursuit. Let our guild draw its power back to the country.
Because of that cooperation, the island is now South Korean territory, and a new city has long been built on it.
After the bird arrived at the island, it did not land directly. Instead, it circled the island a few times. The purpose of such circles was to let the people below notice my arrival. After all, this is their territory, and I couldn't do it by flying in directly. It can cause misunderstandings. I'm here to investigate. We're not here to fight, so unless it's confirmed that this is where the bomb was made, I still don't want a fight to happen.
When we deliberately fly relatively low, it is quite easy to attract the attention of people below. After all, although the name of the flying bird has the word "bird" in it, it is powered by jets. I believe everyone has heard the sound of jet aircraft. Even if you can only see a small shadow passing above your head, you can still hear a relatively obvious noise, and if the plane is about to land, the noise will be even greater. Although birds are living creatures and their noise is not as loud as that of purely mechanical jet aircraft, they are all based on the principle of flight after all. Therefore, the movement of flying birds is actually not small, at least it is much louder than the noise of other flying monsters.
under such loud noise conditions. We flew very low deliberately, so the people below naturally noticed us very quickly. Soon I saw a huge bird-shaped monster in the city walking out from the balcony of a high-rise building, then suddenly spread its wings and jumped and flew up.
The bird-shaped monster immediately flew towards us as soon as it took off, and I asked the bird to slow down and move closer.
Just as we and the bird-shaped monster gradually approached a relatively close distance, the bird-shaped monster on the opposite side did something quite amazing. It suddenly opened its mouth and bit us. Because it was too sudden, the flying bird didn't react for a moment and was bitten on the tip of its wing. Fortunately, the flying bird's exoskeleton was very hard, and the bite only cracked a seam and did not damage the internal structure.
The sudden attack completely confused us, but although I didn't understand why the other party attacked us, I wasn't stupid enough to stand and let others hit us. While commanding the flying bird to accelerate, it began to condense the amplification magic. However, before I could ask what was going on, the knight riding on the back of the bird-shaped monster opposite suddenly shot a sword energy towards us. , fortunately Feiniao reacted quickly enough and rolled away from the sword energy.
"Is there any mistake? Why are you attacking me?" I dodged the sword energy and finally prepared the amplification magic. However, after I shouted, the other party didn't react at all. Instead, they continued to attack, and Several different flying monsters flew up on the ground below, and people were sitting on them.
"It seems that the other party regards us as enemies!" Feiniao said.
"No, they did it on purpose." I said directly: "I won't play with them anymore. Climb high, prepare to roll and dive, and knock these guys down first."
If it was an accidental injury before, it was obviously intentional when so many people flew together in a besieging posture. Asuka's race is a blood thorn that has evolved from a spear. In addition to being larger in appearance, there are also slight differences in color and some details of the body structure. However, these are small changes that normal people can recognize at a glance. Do you know that the flying birds and the common guardian spears in our guild are one kind of creature? Seat is a creature that relies on jet power to fly. The spear is very famous, and it has basically become one of the iconic creatures of our guild. If you are a player from Europe or other places, it is understandable that you cannot recognize the spear. Even if there are people in Asia who do not recognize the spear, it is impossible that so many people do not recognize it. Therefore, those guys riding flying mounts must know the spear. So, since they know the spear, it means that they know that I am from the Frost Rose Alliance. At most, they don't know that I am from the Purple Sun. And the other party still launched an attack even though they knew my guild clearly, which means that these people regard our Frost Rose Alliance as a hostile force. Naturally, I don't need to be polite to those who regard the Frost Rose Alliance as a hostile force.
Because the propulsion methods are different, the flight advantage of flying birds becomes more obvious the higher you go. Because the atmosphere at high altitude is thin, the lift provided by the wings of birds will decrease, and once they enter the stratosphere, there will be no updraft to use. This All creatures that rely on flapping their wings to fly are unfavorable factors for flying. Therefore, if we want to use our strengths, we must climb high and take advantage of the maneuverability in the sky to kill these guys. As for what happened next... the other party didn't intend to talk to me anyway, so I'll just kill them all, and then capture a prisoner and ask slowly. (To be continued.
