Chapter 433: Trouble and Accelerated Clearance

"Suspicious soldier?"

Everyone is obviously a little confused about my answer.

"If this is also a suspicious force, then where is the real main force?" Hongyue asked.

"The real main force may be anywhere, but there are generally only two possibilities." I said: "The first possibility is that there is such an elite main force, with a small number of people, but super strong combat power, more than a thousand A super force whose human team is much more elite. They may be lurking anywhere in the country now, and may be approaching their destination, ready to launch a sudden attack at any time."

"So, what's another possibility?" Hongyue asked again.

"What is real is what is imaginary, what is imaginary is what is real."

"You mean, the main force operating on the border is actually the real main force?" Hongyue is not stupid, I just clicked twice and she realized it.

Compared with Hongyue, Rose's intelligence is obviously higher, so when I first told her that this was a suspicious soldier, she was already thinking about the related possibilities, but she just kept silent. Now, after I made this judgment, Rose confirmed: "I agree with Ziri's opinion. This so-called elite of more than a thousand people should be a suspect army, otherwise they would not be able to waste so much elite power. They are running around in our country. Moreover, I think what Ziri said is not comprehensive, and there are some things in it that can be used to spread your thoughts."

I turned to Rose in confusion and asked, "Is there anything else I've overlooked?"

Rose said directly: "As I just said, an elite force of more than a thousand people is not a force that can be wasted casually. If such a large lineup is used as a suspect, the investment will be too much."

"so what?"

"So I think this suspect is indeed a suspect, but they are not wandering around without a mission."

After hearing Rose's analysis, I immediately said to the God of War: "God of War, give me a map of the whole country." The screen of the communicator immediately displayed a complete map of China in the game. "Now mark the movement route of the opponent's suspected soldier on the map with a red line." Following my voice, a winding line immediately appeared on the map. Although it looked messy, if you look closely, you will find that The scope of activity is actually always fixed within a certain range. "God of War, show on the map all cities or supply points with teleportation arrays within a certain range around the opponent's route of action." This time, many red dots immediately appeared on the map. However, the range of these red dots is messy, and the circuit diagram does not seem to constitute any identifiable information.

Kristina looked at the map next to me and said, "It doesn't seem like there's anything special, right?"

Rose supported me decisively and said: "No, there must be something we haven't noticed. The other party's scope of activities is obviously regional, and such actions should have a purpose."

I nodded and said to the God of War again: "Mark the nearby roads and water lines as well."

After comparing the new pictures, there was still nothing obvious. So many of us looked at the map together and began to think deeply. Unexpectedly, Ying, who seldom spoke, finally spoke up and said: "Remove all roads and surface water system lines, and use blue lines to mark underground water systems. Use red thin lines to mark them." Lava channels. Mark the underworld with black lines.”

"Vice President, our guild's information on this aspect is incomplete!"

"It doesn't matter. Mark it." I said loudly.

The God of War heard what I said and immediately started changing the map. However, when the new image appeared, all of us were dumbfounded.

"The other party has been moving along the intersection of the underground world, underground water and lava channels. This is indeed premeditated." Kristina said first.

Hongyue frowned and said, "But even if we know that the other party is moving along these lines, we don't know what their ultimate goal is!"

"If you know these things, the purpose can still be inferred." Woma said: "There must be weak faults at the intersection of lava pipes and water, and the presence of underground passages means that the faults are even weaker, and such a place can allow It’s very easy for the other party to break in and do some tricks.”

"What kind of things can they do?" Hongyue asked.

Woma thought for a while and said: "If it were me, I would consider finding some weak points in the fault and placing directional blasting devices. Then, as long as the detonating devices are set up at multiple nodes continuously and the sequence and interval of explosions are grasped, the lava can be released Collision with groundwater creates an underground high-pressure zone to pressurize the lava pipes. If multiple explosion points are linked together, an artificial volcano should eventually be created at the convergence point of pressure. Of course, the technical difficulty of this matter is very high, and ordinary people It should be impossible. First of all, we must have a map of our country and a map of lava, water, and the underground world. Secondly, we must have accurate calculation capabilities and be able to calculate the time of each explosion point. The explosion was too early It will cause the pressure to be released in reverse. The final result is that the entire explosion propulsion mode is blocked. If the explosion is too late, the pressure of the lava will decrease, and it will eventually be naturally absorbed and digested by the surface tension, making it impossible to trigger a volcanic eruption."

"It does sound very complicated, but the problem is that the Russians' technical strength is not weak, and they should be able to do it." After I finished speaking, I continued: "But it is impossible for more than a thousand people to set up an active volcano. Come. Their purpose may not be that simple."

Rose suddenly said at this time: "I think I can roughly understand the other party's thinking."

"Tell me."

Rose said directly: "Actually, the other party has no suspicious soldiers at all, or in other words, there are all suspicious soldiers on all three sides."

"Huh?" Everyone on our side was stunned for a moment.

Rose did not care about our confusion, but explained to herself: "On the surface, the Russians launched a large-scale invasion in the border areas to attract our main force, but in fact they sent more than a thousand people to rush into the hinterland of our country. Running around is the opponent's first ambush strategy. On the one hand, the opponent's more than a thousand people are a jamming signal, and on the other hand, they are also a force with a real mission. They want to set up explosive devices to detonate inside our country in advance. Underground lava tubes create an active volcano."

"Then why do you say there are no suspects or they are all suspects? And there are three of them?" Hongyue asked.

"The answer is very simple." Rose explained: "Although these more than a thousand people have operational purposes, on the one hand, their process of creating active volcanoes is a suspicious strategy. On the other hand, it is not completely in line with their strength. If we have With such a powerful team, do you think you will send them to cause a volcanic eruption? Even if this eruption can destroy a city of the other side, it is just a city. In the national war, the loss of several cities is really a big problem It's a normal thing, nothing to scare anyone. So. If you just do such a thing, the value of more than a thousand people will be wasted. So, the other party must have a third army, a An extremely powerful special operations team. The number of members in this team must not be too many, no more than double digits, otherwise it will be impossible to hide. Their purpose must be to carry out surprise attacks on our important hubs. And once chaos breaks out on our side, the special forces of more than a thousand people can respond to the internal chaos and further expand the chaos. Later, once we have a strategic tilt due to this kind of thing and start to dispatch frontline troops back to the rear to put out the fire, then The opponent's real trump card should be taken action. As for what this last trump card is... I think it should be the main force on the border. Those troops are obviously not doing their best to attack. On the one hand, they are attracting firepower, and on the other hand, they are attracting firepower. On the one hand, it is to preserve strength. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest. Who would have thought that the other party's feint attacking troops are actually the real main force? When our rear is in chaos, and the frontline troops move a little, they can immediately If we seize the opportunity to launch an attack, our defense line will collapse and there will be no so-called defense line at all."

After listening to Rose's analysis, everyone on our side fell silent, because if things were really like what Rose said. Then the challenges we have to face in this are too exaggerated.

"If Rose's guess is right, what should we do?" Eagle asked.

Hong Yue said directly: "Whatever, let's destroy the team of one thousand people first."

"Now that we know that the other side's border troops are the real main force, we might as well launch a fierce attack on this unit directly, beat their main force into disability, and see how arrogant they can be." Kristina suggested.

"No, no, the other party will definitely react violently to such a crude intervention. And since the invasion force has already sneaked in, there is no guarantee that if something like that happens, it won't turn into a lose-lose consequence." Rose said.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. We can't just watch, right?" Jin Coin said.

I thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have an idea."

"Then President, please tell me quickly!" Kristina urged.

"The method is a little troublesome. I have to go back."

"But we are on a mission!" Kristina said.

"That's why I said it's troublesome!"

"We are facing a national crisis now, so we have to stop all tasks!" Zhenhong shouted.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, right?" Jin Coin first said to Zhenhong, then turned to us and said: "Just speed up your mission. As for our side, Zhenhong and I can go up. Does it have some effect?"

"It's useless for you two to go up, because you have your own tasks." After I finished speaking, I added: "By the way, that's okay. Vina, please send some gods from the Chaos and Order Clan to cooperate."

"Let us come?" Wei Na asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of the dead? We gods don't revive after they die."

"You have to use it even if you're afraid! You can't just let soldiers go to the front line because you're afraid of sacrifice, right? But I won't let you die. In this way, when you go out, take more mobile angels with you. Also, take some Players, you are responsible for supporting during the battle. If you find anything that threatens your life safety, you can let the mobile angels and players attack as soon as possible. You only need to output firepower. Anyway, your mission is to save your life first."

"If that's the case, of course there is no problem, but what exactly are we going to do?"

"Your mission is very simple, which is to first dismantle the explosives placed in the lava tubes by the other party."

"What? Let us defuse the bomb?"

"No, no, no, your task is not to defuse the bomb, but to cover the professionals to defuse the bomb. You are responsible for dealing with the obstacles encountered along the way. I think, since we don't know the other party's plan, then we shouldn't guess it at all. Yes. They have their plans. If we blindly follow their plans to plug loopholes, we will eventually fall into the opponent's rhythm and be trapped. So we have to find another way and re-create our own path. To Sitting like this, the first step to do is to remove the opponent's foreshadowing. Although we don't know what the consequences of this volcanic eruption will be, since it is what the enemy wants to do, we can definitely do it in reverse as long as we do it in reverse . In addition, this action can also help us understand what to do next."

"What kind of allusion is there?" Hongyue asked doubtfully.

Rose understood what I meant, so she helped explain: "Didn't we guess that this thousand-man team is a suspected soldier? Then this operation can prove their purpose. If the other party is really just a suspected soldier, then they are not at all They will pay attention to us dismantling the bomb. And if they fight back, it proves that their main task is to arrange this explosive to trigger a volcanic eruption."

Hongyue nodded after listening to Rose's explanation: "I understand. As long as the other party continues to run and has no reaction at all to us dismantling the explosives they set, it means that they must have other tasks on their shoulders, so they must retain their troops." They don’t want to conflict with us in advance. And if the opponent counterattacks immediately, it will prove that the volcano is their real purpose.”

After Hong Yue said this, the rest of the people understood the key point, so they nodded to express their support for the proposal.

After everyone agreed, the proposal was passed directly. After a brief explanation with Vina, I asked Rose to find a think tank to arrange the next step. As for Kristina and I, of course we had to complete this damn task first. Although we have now returned to normal human size, the problem is that we cannot leave this island yet, so we must find a way to complete the tasks here first.

We were not in a hurry when doing tasks before, so we didn't take any risks. Everything was done in a steady and steady manner. But now that the situation has changed, we naturally have to change our tactics.

After greeting the zombie girls and the children's group led by the group's eldest mother, we quickly found the entrance to the Sky Kingdom under the leadership of the zombie girls. This place is said to be a kingdom. In fact, it should be regarded as an independent demiplane. Entering the loss is basically a teleportation array. After entering, it feels like many things in the inner space are different from the outside world. At least the rules of the game here are different. All the magic power in this place has been increased several times. It feels like the magic elements in this space are extremely active, and many things in this place contain magic energy. Even the stones on the roadside almost have the energy of magic crystals.

Of course, while this place may seem nice, it's not. Although the energy index of the stones here is extremely high, they cannot be brought out of this space at all.

Magical elements gather together to form magic energy, which is similar to electrical energy. When it is released at high speed, it often produces some side effects, and these side effects generally include high temperature and strong light radiation. To put it simply, if the magic energy is released too quickly, it will explode. This is also the reason why magic crystal can be detonated.

However, although magic crystal can explode, it requires certain excitation conditions. Normally, if a piece of magic crystal is placed there properly, it will not self-destruct inexplicably. Although magic crystal has high energy storage, it itself is a stable combination produced under normal magic intensity, so it can be said to have adapted to a low magic environment, and it will not cause any problems even if it is taken out and moved around. question.

However, the concentration of magic elements in this sky kingdom is simply unbelievable. If the concentration of magic elements is compared to the density of the atmosphere, it can be said that the density of magic elements in the Sky Kingdom is dozens of times higher than outside. If a stone from the Sky Kingdom is moved from the inner world of the Sky Kingdom to the outside world, it is equivalent to a filled balloon suddenly entering the normal pressure environment outside from a high-pressure air chamber. Previously, in the high-pressure chamber, the air pressure inside and outside the balloon was basically balanced, so the balloon was only blown up a bit, and there was no problem. However, when it suddenly entered the normal pressure zone, most of the air pressure outside the balloon suddenly disappeared, but the air pressure inside the balloon did not. Change, so the air pressure will push the balloon to expand, and in the end it can only pop the balloon with a pop.

The same is true for the stones in the Kingdom of the Sky. Once this kind of thing comes out of the domain space of the Kingdom of the Sky, the magic power inside it cannot continue to maintain a stable state like the magic crystal. Instead, it will leak out quickly. In this process, high temperature will be generated, and the high temperature will reversely activate the entire magic system. So, wow, a very ordinary stone in the Kingdom of the Sky will immediately turn into a stone when it reaches the outside. bomb.

In fact, it is not just the stones that have magic power in the Kingdom of the Sky. Many things in this place have strong magic fluctuations. After all, the concentration of magic elements in the air is too high, and even items with high magic resistance will be infiltrated with some magic power if left in this environment for a long time. What's more, there are actually very few things with truly high magic resistance. The magic resistance of most things is in a relatively moderate range, neither high nor low.

After entering this kingdom of the sky, Kristina has always been very excited because of the strength of the magic here. If it weren't for the zombie girls watching nearby, she would have almost used other people's cities to experiment with large-scale destructive magic. Fortunately, this impulse only stayed at the impulsive stage and was not put into practice.

"Okay, we have entered your kingdom of the sky, what should we do next?" I asked aloud after entering this kingdom.

The four zombie girls have now regained their consciousness, and they have communicated with each other and understood the whole story during our video conference, so now the four of them can guide us on the initial mission relatively normally. After I asked this question. The queen said directly: "What you have to do now is to help us activate the laws of this world, and in return, we will take you to see the existence you want to see."

"Activate the law? It sounds difficult!" Kristina knew that something was wrong as soon as she heard the law.

The result is quite unexpected. The so-called activation law is actually to collect some magic materials and then repair the magic circle in the center of a magic building located in the center of the kingdom of the sky. The structure of this magic circle is quite strange. We have never seen it before. Even Ling, a knowledgeable protoss, cannot understand the working principle and function of this magic circle.

Although I don't know what this thing is for. But that's not a problem. Now I am beginning to be glad that I chose the little crocodile as a guide as a reward, because with his existence we don't have to bother to analyze the function of this magic circle at all.

According to the little crocodile, in fact, the functions and detailed drawings of this magic circle can be found in this city, but in this process we need to face a city full of zombies, and these zombies are the original citizens of the Kingdom of the Sky. According to the mission content, the zombie curse will disappear after we activate the law. Then the citizens will return to normal. Therefore, when we kill these zombies, we are actually killing the citizens of the Kingdom of the Sky. Therefore, killing zombies is defaulted as a wrong behavior by the system.

Of course, points will be deducted for making wrong actions during a mission, so the more zombies we kill while searching for blueprints and repair methods throughout the city, the lower our final mission score and reward will be. but. Now because we have the little crocodile, we don't need that drawing, and we don't need to understand the purpose of this thing. The little crocodile directly told us how to repair this magic circle, and also explained in detail the specific functions of each magic circle component.

According to Little Crocodile's explanation, this magic circle is basically a super-large blessing circle. It has a long-term, large-scale protective effect and can repel all negative effects such as aging and disease. As long as this magic circle is activated, the citizens of the Kingdom of the Sky will immediately return to normal.

After understanding the functions, it’s time to repair the magic circle.

This magic circle is seriously damaged. The first step we need to do is to find the missing magic materials, and the second step is to repair it.

"What materials does this thing need?" I looked directly at the little crocodile and asked.

The little crocodile didn't answer me, but handed me a few pieces of paper. As soon as I opened it, I found that it was actually a design drawing. No wonder he said there was no need for us to find the design drawings. He had already made one himself after working on it for a long time.

Compare this design drawing with the magic circle on the ground that is missing arms and legs. The missing parts are clear at a glance. You only need to check the pillar information on the design drawing to know what materials are missing.

"It's actually mithril! For such a large magic circle, the missing part would cost at least a ton of mithril. What kind of mission is this?" Kristina complained as she looked at the design.

The reason why Kristina has such a big opinion is entirely because the little crocodile said that this mithril cannot be collected here at all. The person who has to do the task must find a way to collect it by himself, and then find someone to transport it. Of course, in order for players to complete this task, a communication scroll and a fixed-point teleportation scroll are given here. One is to facilitate contacting people outside to prepare things, and the other is used to get Mithril over.

One ton of mithril is not a big problem for our guild. There are at least fifty tons of mithril piled in Essinger's warehouse. However, the problem is that the value of mithril is very exaggerated. With the financial resources of our guild, we can It can only be backed up so much, so you can imagine how valuable this thing is. For such a task, we actually have to invest a ton of mithril. If the reward given in the end of this task is worthless, wouldn't we lose money? Thanks to the luck of those kids, they got me to help them with this task. If it were anyone else, even if they passed all the previous levels, this level would definitely kill many people. A ton of mithril is not a ton of stone, and it can't be collected by any guild.

According to the mission requirements, I used the scroll to contact Rose, and then called for guild supplies. Within ten minutes, Mithril was directly pulled over using the fixed-point teleportation scroll.

After getting the mithril, all that's left are some weird auxiliary materials. This range is very wide and the quantity is quite large. But according to Little Crocodile, they can all be found here, but they need to be collected slowly. Unfortunately we are in a hurry right now, so I am too lazy to look for it. He opened the Phoenix Dragon Space directly with Kristina and took out any materials he had on him. Fortunately, although there are many types of these things, the demand for each type is very small, so the two of us worked together and it was almost the same. We just lacked something called white mud.

"Where can I get white mud around here?" I asked, looking directly at the little crocodile. He is a guide who knows everything. If you have any questions, just ask. It is easier to use than a mission guide.

"The white mud is in the cave over there, but there is a problem here." The little crocodile pointed to a huge space door at the other end of the space, and then said: "The creature in that cave is actually the one you want to see. That epic dragon, and the white mud is beside him, but you must repair this magic circle before you can get in. If you can't get in, you won't be able to get the white mud, and you won't be able to repair the magic circle. "

"Holy crap, isn't this an endless cycle?" Kristina and I asked in surprise. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
