Chapter 4 The Storm Is About to Come and the Wind Is Blowing All over the Building

We returned to the clouds again, and the huge Essinger Sky City emerged from the clouds at a gentle speed and began to gradually slow down. The top corners of the three walls of Essinger on the ground each emit a beam of light and shine on the corresponding top corners of the Sky City.

"The gravity resistance device reduces its output, the magnetic levitation device is ready to take over the city's pillars, and positioning begins."

The players below stared at the Essinger Sky City in the sky with an almost demented expression, and the two Essinger were docking. Essinger Sky City quickly lowered to a suitable height, and everyone felt the ground shaking, which was caused by gravitational anomalies. Because Essinger Sky City itself is too massive, a small gravity anomaly will be formed when it is too close to the ground. This is the same principle as the moon's gravity affecting the earth's tides, and it is a very simple natural phenomenon. However, most of the players don't know these things. They just feel that the ground is shaking very badly, but not only the ground, but also themselves and the things around them are shaking. Fortunately, the docking was carried out quickly, and Essinger Sky City was quickly in place.

"The positioning is completed, the connections are confirmed to be correct, the defensive barrier is raised, the magic stone is connected, the city power system is connected, the magnetic energy is connected, the personnel pipeline is connected, the transmission array is connected, the control lines are connected, and the main structure is connected."

The giant crystals at the twelve corners of the three walls of Essinger Ground City were suddenly bounced up like cannonballs, flew to a position in the middle of the two cities, and then levitated. Two arcs connected one to the Sky City above, and the other to the Sky City below. The underground city has returned to its previous appearance. The holes where the crystals originally stayed were sealed by armor plates, and all kinds of weapons were withdrawn into the city.

"The general docking is completed and all closed passages are opened. People in the city can move freely. The bank will apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone."

The sound disappeared completely, and then with a bang, all the passages that were closed during the separation of Essinger were opened. The huge harbor locks are slowly sinking beneath the water. The huge sealing stone at the main entrance is slowly rising. The steel fence automatically retracts into the ground and walls. The huge stone door returns to the open position. Thousands of two-meter-diameter steel pillars protrude from the side walls to completely remove this huge stone. Lock it so it doesn't suddenly fall out. The guards quickly closed the team and reopened the gate, but none of the players moved. They were still looking up at Essinger Sky City in a daze.

The visiting presidents on the flight platform all looked at me in surprise. Ashford said excitedly: "I didn't expect that Essinger is really detachable. This sky city has fallen. Is the big guy above the transportation tool this time?"

"Not only is it a transportation tool, it will also act as a weapons platform." Rose glanced at the player operating the platform we were on, and then pointed upward. The player immediately understood, and the platform flew upwards again through the clouds. . "What you see now is the Essinger Mobile Fortress. This is our real secret weapon. And this secret weapon is multi-purpose. It is both a weapon and a supply station, and it can also be used as a means of transportation. It is actually a will A mobile city, everything you want is here.”

Park Eun was surprised and said the common sentiment of all H Congress presidents. "You actually have such terrifying things. The big insects you helped us fight last time were already scary, but this time there is an even bigger one! How many things have you hidden?"

I laughed: "Haha! It's rare for my character to show you my trump card. Stop complaining so much. Except for the people in my own guild. You are the first ones to know this secret."

A h Congress president asked: "Since there is such a good thing, why didn't it come to help us fight last time?"

Rose said angrily: "I don't want to hear similar questions again, so we won't care this time. The Frost Rose Alliance is not an international peacekeeping force, and we have no obligation to help you unconditionally. Morally speaking, we have already sent troops last time." You've done a great job. You have no right to accuse us."

The president knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said: "That's not what I meant. In fact, we are very grateful for your help in what happened last time. I just want to know why this thing didn't participate in the war?"

"Join the war?" I pulled the angry Rose to my side and said in her place: "I think you don't understand what I mean by secret weapon. Essinger Mobile Fortress is not a weapon used to rob or protect something. It may have such a function, but that is not its job. It is like using an aircraft carrier as an anti-smuggling boat, of course it is possible, but usually an aircraft carrier is not used for this job. The Essinger Mobile Fortress is the same thing. It is a strategic strike force. Its only specialty is destruction."

"Destroy? I don't quite understand what you mean." The president still didn't understand the situation.

"Let's put it this way. Just think of Essinger as a strike platform carrying strategic nuclear bombs."

"Nuclear bomb? Can this thing destroy a city?" This time it was not the president but Ashford who asked.

"The Essinger Mobile Fortress carries two weapons of mass destruction against cities, which can destroy a city larger than Essinger at once. Although this weapon has a long cooldown time and is Preparations for shooting are equally long, but their targets are cities that cannot hide or dodge, and their coverage is extremely wide. In front of this kind of weapon, don't think about invincible shields or high-level monsters, even if it is a mountain, we It can also turn it into a pit, and a big one at that.”

"A mountain?" Pu Yin asked in surprise: "Can a mountain like Mount Fuji be used?"

Rose 'touched' Pu Yin's head and said: "If Essinger comes to the top of Fuji, there will only be Fuji pit in the future!"

Feng Yin Piaomiao smiled and said: "Rose, you are wrong. Mount Fuji is a volcano, even if it is blown up, the magma will flow out, so there will be no Fuji Crater, at most there will be a Fuji Lava Lake."

I interrupted their chaos and joked: "Do you want to use it as a cannonball for free? The cost of launching a super weapon is also super high. With that kind of power, I wouldn't blow up Mount Fuji."

The presidents of the h country guilds immediately shouted: "We will pay you to blow up Mount Fuji. As long as you blow it up, you will destroy the spiritual pillar of the rb people. It can destroy the morale of the rb people."

"I won't do it if you give me money. If you want to blow it up yourself, Isinger moves slowly. It takes ten minutes to turn a corner. There is no time to destroy any mountains."

"If it doesn't work, forget it. We don't really care anyway." When the presidents of the h-country guild knew that I didn't agree, they all found reasons for themselves to step down.

As they were talking, a row of black spots suddenly appeared in the distance. The most conspicuous big guy was quickly recognized by the presidents of Congress H. It was Giant Butterfly City. The guild's super large air transport ship. Needless to say, those following her were other Zerg fortresses. All fortresses that can fly will fly by themselves, and those that cannot fly will be led by those who can fly. So many big guys arrived near us very quickly. It was the first time for Feng Yin Piaomiao and Ashford to see these things, and it was the same for Yanyu. These big guys just flew right past us and above our heads. From a distance, we didn’t even notice it. Only when these big guys pass by you can you feel the huge sense of oppression.

"It's so big!" Yanyu couldn't help but admired. Although Essinger is much larger than these fortresses, in everyone's mind, Essinger is a city and it should be big. These Zerg fortresses are not exactly cities, they should be more offensive weapons. And such a large weapon is naturally quite terrifying.

Thirteen Zerg fortresses landed on the middle platform of Essinger Mobile Fortress. The airport here is very large, enough for them to park. For a super city of Isinger's size, these Zerg fortresses are like grasshoppers next to wild bulls. Isn't it easy to find a parking spot?

After all the Zerg fortresses were parked, our platform also flew over and landed on the Essinger Mobile Fortress. I motioned for everyone to get down. After we left the mobile platform, it immediately flew back to the Essinger Ground City below. The broadcast sounded again on Essinger Mobile Fortress. "Attention all personnel, Essinger Mobile Fortress will begin to move. Please pay attention to inertia and prevent falling."

As soon as the broadcast ended, the three H Congress presidents and Feng Yin Piaomiao hurriedly started looking for places to support themselves. Fortunately, there was a railing next to us. They all grabbed the railing and did not dare to let go, but Rose and I did not move. The ground beneath their feet shook, and Essinger suddenly moved. Everyone felt the same inertia as when the car started. As soon as Essinger finished the acceleration process, the vibration ended immediately. It was only then that the presidents realized that they were too nervous. Essinger is so big and it's not a small car. How could it suddenly accelerate so fast? This slight acceleration does not affect human movement at all. The broadcast is only to remind people in special positions to pay attention. People who are walking normally can ignore it.

Ashford sighed: "I didn't expect Essinger to run so smoothly. Really, I can't feel it moving at all. Did you and our guild order all the large drive equipment last time?"

"You are really smart. It is indeed all here."

Ashford asked excitedly: "How did you solve the vibration problem?"

Rose smiled and answered him: "Isn't this simple? Just use two hydraulic cantilevers to do it."

"Hydraulic cantilever? You don't use a double-fork stabilizing structure, do you? How big of a compressor do you need? You are really creative! But speaking of it, the speed of this thing doesn't seem to be very good?"

"How do you know it's not fast?"

Ashford stretched out a finger and said: "Just try the wind speed and you will see. There is no wind at all."

"Maybe we have a tailwind?"

"The east wind blows here, where does the favorable wind come from?"

Yanyu said: "No wonder we are asked to send the troops here so early in the morning. With the speed of this big guy, we have to set off so early. Otherwise, don't expect to arrive at the RB on the weekend."

I took everyone to visit the interior of Essinger Mobile Fortress. The presidents of Congress H are most concerned about the rows of strange objects in Essinger's hangar. They roughly guessed that these things that looked like gliders were some kind of aircraft, but they really didn't know how to use such a small aircraft.

In fact, what they saw was not a plane at all. It was an individual hang glider, mainly used to replace a parachute. Essinger is so big that if you want to quickly deploy troops, you will definitely not be able to rely on rappels and transporters alone. The fastest way is to let the soldiers jump down by themselves. But there are too many problems with the parachute. It is not suitable for landing in the city, so we simply made a large number of gliding boards to directly allow soldiers to glide and land. With this thing, we can even start airdropping soldiers some distance away from the opponent's city and let them glide into the sky above the target.

Compared with those H-State presidents, Ashford, Feng Yinpiaomiao and Yanyu have much stronger technical foundations. These three guys first asked me to take them to see Essinger's movement mechanism. When they saw the huge crawler mechanism, they were all dumbfounded. Such a large operating mechanism operates slowly amidst the roaring sound, and its shocking power is quite astonishing.

Because the diameter of the wheels is relatively large, it seems that the track runs very slowly. In fact, people can only run at this speed. Walmart used to joke that this thing could be used as a large treadmill, but if you fell off the treadmill, it wouldn't be fun.

After visiting for a while, everyone was very satisfied. Rose and I used the teleportation array to send them all back to Isinger on the ground. At this time, we have not left China's territorial waters. The ordinary teleportation array can still be used for the time being. When we reach the high seas, only The transnational teleportation array is ready to work.

On the sea outside Essinger Ground City, the Great White Shark Diving Dock and Black Kirin Maritime City slowly left the sea outside Essinger and began to move towards the intended target. The two behemoths got smaller and smaller as they drove away, and were gradually completely submerged by the sea water, leaving only a faint track on the water. After a while, the track gradually disappeared. The two big guys will begin a three-day underwater dive. They will be responsible for raiding Nagasaki Port with the Essinger Mobile Fortress.

After the presidents left. The Shenwu wind chimes hanging at the four corners of Essinger Mobile Fortress also tinkled melodiously, and then a dense fog that was almost invisible suddenly gathered around Essinger Mobile Fortress. Almost the entire city was covered in clouds and fog, and people who didn't know better thought it was a large rain cloud that was moving.

"The killers are finally on their way." Rose and I stood at the top of the Spirit Gathering Tower in Essinger Ground City and looked in the direction of the sea. Essinger Mobile Fortress has not yet left sight. It's just that all you can see are clouds, and others don't know it's a floating city.

On the Pacific Ocean, a thick fog similar to that outside Essinger is moving rapidly. Different from the normal heavy fog, this fog was actually moving against the wind, and at a very fast speed. A group of American warships mysteriously disappeared in the fog. The players who hung back couldn't tell how they died. They just died anyway. A few hours later, another RB fleet encountered this fog, and the result was still that it could only enter but not exit. However, Japanese people are more sophisticated than Americans. They at least knew that they were being attacked, and many RB players even saw what the enemy looked like.

According to the RB players who hung back, their fleet gradually dispersed while running in the heavy fog. The heavy battleship Xundao was originally followed by several small battleships. The crew of the Xundao could also see the black shadow of the frigate following them through the fog. But after driving for a while, someone suddenly reported to the captain that the shadows were a bit strange and did not look like the frigate that had been following them. These battleships of RB are all steam turbines, shaped like those battleships in World War II, with thick chimneys. But now the outlines of these shadows showed that they were all sailing ships.

Sailboats have been eliminated in the game, and basically all countries with some strength have replaced them with machine-powered iron ships. Wooden-hulled sailing ships are already quite rare. But now the Xundao found that its frigate had inexplicably turned into a sailboat. And no one on the ship knew when it changed. They felt as if these ships had been with them from the beginning, but when did the shadow suddenly turn into a sailboat?

Just when Xundao was about to take action to investigate. These sailing ships suddenly began to approach the Xindao quickly. For fear of accidentally injuring nearby friendly warships, the Xundao did not dare to fire at all and could only watch the opponent approach. The captain was forced to let the crew go on deck to prepare for close combat.

When the sailboats emerged from the fog and the black shadows were gradually replaced by clear images, the crew became even more frightened. The closest sailboat was not only a wooden-hulled boat, but it was actually known to the crew. That was the USS Love Island battleship. It was besieged by the H people in the first Japan-South Korea naval battle. In the end, there were multiple heavy bombs, and the captain was forced to give the order to abandon ship. The crew members of the advanced Xindao were the former crew members of the Love Island. This was their own battleship, and it rolled and sank into the sea in front of all of them a few months ago, but today It actually appears here again.

There is basically no identity difference between the Love Island and the previous one. The name of the Love Island on the copper plate on the hull is still there. The captain of the Xundao clearly remembers that he engraved the words on it. He is familiar with his own handwriting. This is definitely his name. of Love Island. The broken Hinomaru flag was still hung on the ship's mast, and next to it was their guild's flag, which was completely untouched. But yes, there are still some differences in Love Island. Its bow looks different. The original whale image turned into a unicorn somehow, and I don't know if it was burned or something, but this unicorn turned out to be black.

Although the current Love Island is floating, its appearance does not look like it should be able to float at all. Its huge sail was almost as broken as a fish, and it probably no longer had the ability to spread the wind. Even if the canvas was fine, the mast, which was broken in many places, seemed to be falling over. What worries everyone even more is the large and small holes in the hull. In some places, you can even see the sea water on the opposite side through the hull.

"It can still be driven after it's broken like this. What kind of ship is this?"

I don't know which player asked this question, but all RB players suddenly thought of the answer - ghost ship.

Just as everyone's thoughts came to mind, the hatch of the ghost ship suddenly opened, and a large group of green monsters rushed out. They rushed towards this side with various weapons. These monsters all look like undead. Their bodies emit green light and are translucent. Some of the undead have all their muscles rotted away, and they look like skeletons. Some of them still have a lot of flesh. Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things. The scalp of the RB players here is numb.

The undead rushed to the edge of the deck and suddenly picked up the hook on the ground and threw it over. In an instant, the two ships were connected by countless flying claws and pulled together. The undead rushed over and quickly jumped on the battleship. Then several other ghost ships appeared one after another and boarded the battleship in the same way.

An RB player was knocked down by an undead whose lower body was a skeleton but whose upper body was intact. During the fight week, he saw the opponent's face and screamed in surprise. "Johara-kun?"

"Why are you calling me?" Another player was fighting with the undead nearby. When he heard his companion calling his name, he quickly turned around, but he was stunned. The undead man clinging to his companion and fighting him actually looked exactly like him, and the clothes he wore were the same ones he wore when Love Island sank. "Baga, isn't this my own undead soul?"

Such things are not accidental, many players have found familiar faces among the undead. These ghost ships even replicated the people on the sunken ship at the time. Not only were the ships ghost ships, but even the people became ghosts.

Seeing one's own undead will cause some psychological fluctuations for most people, but this fluctuation gives the other party a chance. The other party didn't care whether you looked like him or not, he just slashed with his sword and quickly killed many RB players.

Such attacks continue to occur in Japan's outer seas, and they are gradually developing towards Japan's inland seas. This is Rose's plan. With the Mist Fleet's all-undead lineup and its ability to avoid fatigue without supplies, it can drag the opponent's fleet across before watching the battle. Rose's tactic is harassment, constant harassment. As soon as the enemy's large forces arrive, they will release mist to escape, while the enemy's small forces will be directly eliminated. Before the battle officially started, the Japanese had already lost thousands of ships, large and small. Although most of the losses were small battleships and civilian ships, the Japanese knew they would suffer if they continued to consume like this. But they haven't been able to do anything yet.
