Chapter 3 Mobile Fortress

The more Masaga Matsumoto and Shota Tanaka looked at the plan, the more they believed it was impossible for us to release such a smoke plan. They used empathy to put themselves in my position when making decisions, and they felt that there was no reason to not use this plan.

They believed that this plan would naturally lead to defensive arrangements according to this plan. Masamoto Matsumoto and Shota Tanaka quickly came up with a countermeasure specifically for this plan. But this plan is destined to be useless, because the plan proposed by Masamoto Matsumoto is based on our wrong plan. It is obviously wrong to formulate a counterattack plan based on an already abandoned plan.

The combat time of this perfect fake plan is set at 7 a.m. this Saturday, but the real combat plan starts on Friday afternoon. The initial contact may start at 3 p.m., and the official battle will start about after 7 o'clock.

The actual landing site in the fake plan is located on a protruding peninsula northeast of Wakkanai Castle on the island of Hokkaido. The latitude of this place is very high, separated only by the Strait of La Perouse (called Soya Strait by Japanese people), and opposite it is the Russian island of Sakhalin. But our actual landing point is next to Nagasaki Port on Kyushu Island, one to the south and one to the north. If the Japanese people follow that plan to defend it, they will regret it.

Because this perfect fake plan was originally a backup plan, its content included some things after the initial completion. The details of the content made RB's staff members marvel at how impeccable it was. The Japanese were greatly inspired by many things in the plan and decided to strengthen temporary defense lines in several areas and combine some fleets for use. Of course, the more they do this, the more unlucky they will be, because the plan is fake.

Early in the morning on Wednesday, we received the NPC legions sent by various guilds, and the teams from Country H will be transported by themselves, or transported via the transnational teleportation array after the war. It's just that no one from the country H knows that the plan in their hands is fake so far, which determines that the people from country H are even more convinced of the authenticity of this plan.

In fact, there is a fatal flaw in this situation. But people in rb didn't know about this flaw. People in country H knew it, but no one said it. They just thought it was a little strange. The flaw was the request we made before agreeing to their participation. According to the requirements, our guild will be responsible for all strategic command after the war begins, and all participants will be managed by us. In other words, these presidents of Country H are basically bystanders during the battle. They do not need to participate in the battle. The only ones who really need to participate in the battle are the middle and lower-level commanders. When we first promulgated those secret combat plans, we repeatedly emphasized that they could only be shown to the top leaders of the guild and not other personnel. To prevent leaks. But you can find the problem if you think about it. Since senior leaders are destined not to participate in the battle and command, then why show them the plan? Even if we really want to send the plan to the commanders first to familiarize themselves with it, it should be given to the middle and lower-level commanders, but we insist on not letting anyone other than the main leaders know about it. With such a big contradiction, any smart person will find the problem. However, the presidents of Country H thought this was a trivial matter. After all, whether or not they saw the plan had no impact on them, so they didn't bother to think about it. The rb people didn't know the conditions for participating in the war that were determined in the first place, because they thought it was a framework agreement on the division of interests between us and the h people, and they didn't bother to investigate at all.

Starting on Wednesday morning. The entire rb and the three major guilds in China, as well as people from country h and the German Iron Crusaders are all busy.

The Japanese are busy mobilizing materials and personnel to prepare for the war. A large number of defense systems have been built, and a large number of fleets have been integrated and concentrated. It's just that the fleet ran in the wrong direction and the defense line was reversed inside and outside. All their fleets have gathered in Hokkaido, leaving only some pretentious fleets in the south. Also think we don't know about their secret fleet mobilization. And their inland defense fronts all face north, and all personnel are south of the defense line, staring vigilantly at the north, waiting for our attack.

It was relatively easy for the Chinese, the German Iron Crusaders, and the two major Chinese guilds to meet. Anyway, the plan was strictly sealed by us. They didn't know the plan, so they simply didn't arrange anything. They gathered the players to get ready, and the NPCs were directly handed over to our command. Everything else was just waiting.

Our guild is mainly shipping supplies. The millions of NPC legions supported by the major guilds have gathered together. How huge is the number of people? The complexity of shipping so many troops in large quantities has made the traffic control personnel of our guild extremely busy. More than 300 ship collisions occurred in Essinger Port from yesterday afternoon to this morning, and various warships were extremely busy with emergency transportation.

One-third of these millions of NPCs will be installed into our Black Kirin floating city. This thing that looks a bit like a large submarine is actually a medium-sized city. The difference is that it has a larger volume than ordinary cities. And it is a floating, powered and defended war fortress. Its huge internal volume determines that it is our best troop carrier, and this guy was modified once after the Indonesian War. Now this guy has a crawler drive system installed on the bottom, which means that it can actually be used as a landing ship. The ship is used for beaching. However, we will not let it go ashore unless it is absolutely necessary. A small warship will be enough to transfer it.

In addition to personnel, the construction materials of Fulcrum City are also an important project. Because these things need to be erected quickly, a special transportation tool needs to be prepared for centralized shipment. And this transportation vehicle is our Jaws Dive Dock. This time it will be responsible for transporting all equipment and materials to build the city. As well as cutting-edge equipment such as defense systems in the city. They are all transported in a unified manner to avoid being unable to find supplies due to too much chaos during the battle.

at last. Our trump card - Essinger Mobile Fortress. It will play the role of an aircraft carrier in this operation. This aircraft carrier is not a mothership of aircraft, but a mothership that sails in the sky. Although the Essinger Mobile Fortress is not as large as the Essinger Ground City, it is not much smaller. Its volume is equivalent to six times that of the three major cities in the system combined, and the diameter of the bottom layer is enough to cover the entire sky above any city. In addition to its powerful armed firepower and huge carrying capacity, the psychological pressure brought by its huge size cannot be ignored. It's perfect to use as a suppressive weapon. As long as this behemoth flies over a city, it can suppress the morale of all the enemies in the city to below freezing point.

Because we have been keeping the secret and never told everyone the details, Feng Yin Piaomiao, Ashford, Yan Yu, and even some presidents of the National H Guild and Park Yin all came together to Essinger to ask me what my plan was. What to use to transport the npc guards they provide. In the morning they were stunned when they saw the huge Black Kirin appearing on the beach. However, they soon realized that the Black Kirin was not enough to transport so many soldiers. So these people started chasing me to ask how I was going to transport it.

I treated them to a meal at noon. I stood up at the dinner table and said, "Don't you keep asking me how to transport troops?"

Everyone immediately looked at me and nodded sharply.

I smiled and continued: "I will take you to see them after dinner, but you have to keep it a secret." There are relatively large guild presidents here, there are not many people, and we have checked them all, so it is relatively safe. The most important thing is to make them have confidence in me, so that future cooperation can become simpler.

After everyone finished eating, they followed me to the main square of Essinger. There was an altar-like thing here. This thing is about three meters high. There are stairs on both sides that you can walk up directly. There is a platform at the top, which is about the size of a basketball court. There are railings around it, making it look like a huge balcony. I asked everyone to climb up together, and then nodded to the players who had been standing in a small room at the corner.

Before everyone understood what I was going to do, the platform shook violently, scaring everyone so much that they crouched low to maintain balance. Before they could ask any questions, the platform suddenly began to rise. Everyone felt the feeling of being overweight when going up in an elevator.

Ashford was the one who reacted fastest. After all, their guild sold me the gravity resistance device, and he also had related technology, so as soon as this thing started, he immediately realized that it was an aircraft. Ashford quickly ran to the edge of the platform, grabbed the railing and looked down. Sure enough. This thing is rising and moving horizontally.

"Oh my god! You did it!" Ashford's voice was trembling with excitement. "How do you solve the problem that the gravity resistance device cannot move horizontally after it is activated?"

I looked at Rose with a smile, and Ashford immediately realized that Rose was the narrator this time. He turned around quickly. "Tell me quickly?"

Rose laughed. "Actually, we still haven't solved this problem, but we figured out a way to avoid it. So we have this device. In fact, there are still big problems with this thing. Although it can move horizontally while rising, it cannot turn. . If you want to turn, you must stop first, and then turn to the right direction before you can continue. The one under our feet is its experimental type. As you can see, it is only suitable for use as a mobile viewing platform or maintenance platform. It’s not suitable for actual combat at all.”

Yanyu intervened and said, "Wait a minute. Are you talking about a controllable flying device?"

"Absolutely." Ashford didn't have time to explain, but continued to ask: "How did you avoid this problem?"

"You can go back and ask Woma for specific methods." We don't want to hide this from Ashford. After all, the Germans also have technical expertise. The purchase and sale agreement between the two parties stated that all future results based on this technology are obligated to be shared with the other party. Besides, if we provide technology to the other party, the other party can speed up research and give us suggestions in turn. This is a mutually beneficial behavior.

Although the presidents of Congress H are also very curious, unfortunately they have no technical foundation and really don’t know what to do. Even if they get this technology, they won't be able to make it practical. What's more, Rose has already said that our own technology is not mature yet, let alone sold.

The platform quickly left the city limits and flew outside Essinger. Then we were suspended at the same height as the Eye of Hell. In other words, we are right between Essinger Sky City and Essinger Ground City. Rose said to everyone: "Please come to the railing here and look at Isinger. Your troops have entered our transportation vehicle. And now, this transportation vehicle is about to start.

Yanyu said jokingly: "Don't you have a space shuttle?"

"That's not true, but our stuff is much more practical than the space shuttle." I motioned for them to pay attention.

At this time, in Essinger Ground City, players who do not belong to our guild certainly don’t know what is about to happen, and everyone is still busy with their own affairs. Essinger has been attracting a large number of players since its opening to the outside world, but they have been unable to enter the Essinger Sky City and the inner city of Essinger Ground City. As for the Essinger Mobile Fortress, most people don't even know it exists. Today they are still operating in Essinger as usual. Although we found that the people in our guild seemed very busy, this had little to do with them.

While everyone was calmly moving around the city, a loud metal collision was heard, followed by a female voice. The voice was very clear, but it didn't feel like a human being speaking, because the tone was cold and devoid of any emotion.

The female voice was saying: "Attention to everyone in Essinger City, the city is undergoing mechanical adjustments. The whole process will take about fifteen minutes. Please stay calm. Our actions will not affect your activities, but the city gate will be closed." For a short period of time, all teleportation arrays will also stop operating until the adjustment is completed. There may be slight vibrations during the adjustment process. This is normal, please do not panic. Thank you everyone for your cooperation."

All the lay players who came to Essinger felt baffled. This was the first time they had heard of mechanical adjustments. Before, they had never known that there was any machinery in the city that needed large-scale adjustments.

Everyone is wondering. The voice came again. "Clear the city gate passage, and all armed personnel are in place. Pressurize each connecting door and check the pressure."

Suddenly a row of yellow crystals lit up in the huge city gate passage outside Essinger. Then the citrine crystals went out and then a row of red crystals lit up. The two colors of crystals were flashing alternately. A large number of armed city guards entered the passage and began to urge people in the passage to leave quickly. Those who were about to enter the city were blocked outside, and those who were about to leave the city were also intercepted and temporarily not allowed to enter the city gate passage. At this time, on the other side of the city, the situation at the coast gate was the same, except that there were ships on that side. Traffic is relatively easy to manage.

The sound started again after the cleaning was completed. "The passage is cleared, release the safety gate and close the door."

Players who were blocked from entering the passage were arguing with the guards. The main entrance of Essinger suddenly made a bang and then began to slowly descend. The huge sealing stone weighed a million tons, the long passage became shorter and shorter, and the huge stone gate slowly began to lower and close. Soon, there was a boom. The ground shook and the passage was completely blocked. The sluices on the coast were automatically closed, and Essinger's city wall was completely sealed.

"The locking of the gate is completed, and the gravity device of the Lord of Essinger Sky City begins to operate. The defense crystal is detached."

The purple crystals suspended between the top corners of Essinger Sky City and Ground City suddenly maintained a vertical posture and began to fall. At the corners of the corresponding city walls below them, heavy armor plates were opening, revealing out of the hole hidden underneath. After the armor was fully opened, the crystals fell down, and each crystal corresponded to a hole and was inserted into it. These crystals stand vertically at a height of fifty meters. These holes are only twenty-five meters deep. Just enough to get the bottom half of the crystal stuck.

"The defense crystal lock is completed, disconnect the magnetic connection. The Hell Eye connection is loose, increase the power output of Sky Essinger."

The entire Essinger suddenly began to shake, but it only lasted a few seconds before settling down.

"Raise the power mechanism, the separation of Essinger Sky City is completed, and the operation will be transferred to manual control after liftoff."

Everyone began to look up at the Essinger Sky City. This behemoth began to slowly break away from the Essinger Ground City and began to rise. It flew upside down into the sky and was gradually covered by the clouds and disappeared into the clouds and mist. All the players below were dumbfounded. Essinger Sky City actually flew away.

In fact, the Sky City did not fly away, nor did it have the ability to fly away. It just increased in altitude and was covered by clouds. The viewing platform we were on had already risen above the clouds when Essinger Sky City began to rise. Looking at the clouds, the clouds look like an ocean. Isengard is obscured by evil dark clouds that linger all year round. These turbulent clouds are like the sea when a storm comes.

Seen from the sea of ​​clouds is a flat plain. The presidents were still surprised that Essinger Sky City had just launched into the sky, but now it was even more puzzling to be suddenly sent to the clouds. Suddenly, the clouds surged, and a tall sharp object rose up from the clouds, and then the thing began to grow thicker. The sharp object rose almost ten meters and suddenly its base appeared. It was a Chinese-style pointed roof that looked like the spire of a tower.

Soon everyone realized that the sharp thing was a lightning rod and a tower. But how can a tower rise above the clouds?

Confused, everyone watched the floors below the tower appear one by one, and they were even more certain that this was an ancient Chinese-style tower. After all the towers appeared, a larger object appeared below. It was a platform, and there seemed to be various strange things on the four corners. In short, it was very complicated. It looks like a missile launcher. There are four towers surrounding the tower that first appeared. They are located at the four corners of the huge platform below. Everyone in our guild knows that the four towers are the four divine beast world towers, and the tallest one in the center is the Qilin Tower. As for those that look like missile launchers, they are indeed missile launchers. They are the launchers of the divine arrows.

Below the huge platform is a sky-blue wall, and a huge city wall-like barrier rises from the sea of ​​clouds. The scene made all the visiting presidents feel breathless. This big thing is so huge that it presses up like a mountain. As this huge wall rose higher and higher, a wider platform appeared. This platform is marked with a large number of yellow lines. There are also number marks in the middle of the lines, and a large number of strange devices nearby are regularly arranged closer to the wall. This place looks like an airport, but the area is a bit large. Even an international airport does not use such a large area. It is almost as big as a city.

After this platform is raised, there is a wall below. And even bigger. At this time everyone realized that this was a city.

Yanyu said: "I didn't expect that Essinger Sky City could turn around."

"Huh? Turn over?"

Yanyu asked in surprise: "Isn't this the Essinger Sky City? It rose into the clouds just now, and now it comes out from above. The Essinger Sky City originally stood upside down on the Essinger Ground City. The two are rising and falling like reflections in the water. But now they seem to be turned over, right?"

I smiled and pointed in front of me to signal him to continue looking. Nothing was explained.

Yanyu continued to look ahead suspiciously. After the city wall in front is fully raised, there is a third platform. It is larger than the previous two, and it is full of weapons. Below is the city wall again, and it is wider. When the third city wall completely rose out of the sea of ​​clouds, everyone thought it was over, but things were not what they thought.

After the end of the third city wall, there was an obvious gap. There were many machines connected together, which looked very complicated. There are so many mechanical devices, they are lined up along the city wall. These devices are attached to the city walls. There is another section of city wall attached below. The newly appeared city wall suddenly awakened everyone's thoughts. Only then did they remember that the thing that had risen just now was different from the color of Essinger Sky City. Essinger's city walls are made of black stones. Although the sky city and the ground city are upside down on each other, their structures and materials are exactly the same. They are all black, but the things that have just risen are But it's sky blue.

The upper and lower sections of the city wall connected by these mechanical devices are exactly two colors, the upper one is sky blue and the lower one is black. In everyone's shocked eyes, the black city wall completely rose out of the sea of ​​clouds, and then all the various buildings were clearly visible. What stands upside down below is the Sky City of Essinger, and it is connected to it. The huge sky-blue city above it should be something else.

"Then...what is that?" Feng Yinpiaomiao asked me in surprise.

I smiled and said: "Everything you see is Essinger."

Yanyu followed: "I understand. Essinger Sky City is not two parts. It is three parts. Essinger Sky City is upside down, and its foundation seems to be clouds. Everything above it is in the clouds. In fact, this thing It’s been hidden in the clouds all this time, and you’ve actually hidden it for so long!”

Rose smiled and said: "Isinger is actually made up of four parts, but these are secrets. I let you see this third part today just because it is about to join the war, so there is no need to keep it secret." In fact, the fourth part Rose said Part of it is the underground laboratory under Essinger. That thing has been deep into the magma layer, and its size is not small, but it is more confidential.

Ashford suddenly reacted. "Joining the war? Could it be that the third part of Isinger can move? Are you planning to use it for transportation attacks?"

"You guessed it right. It can move. And this guy's combat power is very terrifying. It is definitely the strongest weapon."

All the presidents nodded together. "Looking at this size, we believe that it is definitely the most powerful offensive weapon."

The president of a guild in country H said: "It's so big that it can completely destroy other people's cities as long as it falls from the sky."

"Please, this is a mobile fortress, not a heavy hammer. Even if the aircraft carrier is more powerful than ordinary battleships, you wouldn't use the aircraft carrier as a battering ram, right?"

"That's right." Park Yin couldn't help but talk about that president. "This city doesn't look cheap at first glance. How can it be so useful? Isn't this a waste?"

They were collectively criticizing the president who said something wrong, and the cold voice from Essinger in front actually sounded again. "The power of Essinger Mobile Fortress is activated. Essinger Sky City must cooperate with us to reduce the output power. There may be strong vibrations in the city. Please pay attention to all units."

The two Essinger connected at the bottom suddenly made a loud strange sound, which sounded like the metal mechanism was under tremendous force. Normally, the Essinger Mobile Fortress is parked directly at the bottom of the Essinger Sky City. Now that the Mobile Fortress is going to fight, and the Sky City cannot follow, it is natural to activate the fortress's own power for separation operations. .

After the huge roar stopped, the sound started again. "The power startup of Essinger Mobile Fortress is completed and the pressure is normal. The connection safety lock is turned on."

The metal mechanisms connecting the two parts suddenly made a neat sound. Some small metal 'pins' rotated backwards from the base of the huge city wall, and then there was another neat click sound. These huge metal pins rotated backwards from the base of the huge city wall. The locking mechanisms all popped outward.

"The separation of the locking system is completed, the main pipeline is disconnected, and the Essinger Mobile Fortress is separated."

With a loud bang, Essinger Mobile Fortress slowly rose up and was completely separated from Essinger Sky City. Many complex connecting mechanisms and pipes could be seen in the middle of the separation between the two cities, which were gradually moving back. Shrinking, some metal armor is gradually moving to close those places where recycling has been completed.

"The separation of the main body of the city is completed, and the Essinger Mobile Fortress maintains its stable orbit. The height of the Essinger Sky City has dropped. Please prepare the ground city for docking."
