Chapter 338: Prepare for War, the ‘Big Spider’ Is Coming
Juvia also failed to reveal much useful information.
The main reason is that for such a huge building to operate, there must be a powerful energy supply system.
The most core component is in Joseph's president's office and is difficult to destroy directly.
However, the weapon power supply system is the same as Rhodes' analysis. The magic cluster cannon is powered by large magic crystals.
Another stronger weapon is powered by the four elements through living connection magic.
This is good news, because two of the four elements have fallen, which will inevitably create some difficulties for the opponent.
This is also bad news, because Joseph may put those two spots on himself and Iron Dragon Gajeel, making it more difficult for everyone to completely destroy the weapon system.
However, the final goal is the same, to defeat everyone, including Joseph!
Rhodes divided the guild members into multiple combat groups based on their magic effects, combat abilities, coordination, and injuries.
Thanks to him often looking for people to challenge each other, he is quite familiar with everyone's magic, otherwise it would be really difficult to do it.
After describing the battle plan in detail, Rhodes asked each group to get together and make necessary preparations. The specific implementation would have to be slightly adjusted after the Ghost Ghost's attack route was found out.
Finally, after adding an Ember Crown to the more seriously injured companion, Rhodes stood up and said, "Wolian, follow me. The others will rest and wait."
Such a convenient communication magic like talking should be used for command, not to mention that Wo Lian also has the perceptual positioning ability that comes with talking.
"Oh, one more thing, we are the best guild, we have the best companions in the world, and we have made the most adequate preparations, so victory must be ours!"
Rhodes raised his right fist: "Fairy Tail!"
Everyone raised their right fists together and shouted, which almost made the guild tremble: "We must win!!!"
…
"Hey...this, is this too exaggerated?"
Wo Lian followed Rhodes to a hidden spot by the lake behind the guild, about one kilometer away from the guild.
The shore of the lake was already densely packed with blue-purple void worms. They sometimes jumped up and sometimes looked around, restlessly trying to bite something.
As long as they are restrained by three Brood Insects, they can only jump around within a limited range.
A blue carved demon statue followed Rhodes step by step, always maintaining the crown of insight on his body.
Rhodes thought this was still too little: "The time was too short, and I only managed to save less than 3,000."
Assuming that ten of them can only deal with one person, it is enough to reverse the numerical disadvantage, and the scene of them rushing out densely is scary enough.
Rhodes suddenly frowned and put his hand on Wo Lian's shoulder: "Let's talk to everyone."
"Okay." Wo Lian raised his index and middle fingers together and pointed at his forehead. "Attention, everyone, this is a communication from the command team."
Everyone inside and outside the guild cheered up.
Rhodes spoke directly, and his voice sounded in everyone's mind:
"We found the Six-legged Walker Guild. They plan to cross the lake from the northeast. They are currently about fifteen kilometers away. Everyone is ready to fight."
"The assault team sets out, followed by the mobile team! Act according to plan, Natsu, don't mess around."
"receive!"
"learn!"
"Why do you want to single me out?"
"Love, because Rod said Natsu gets carsick."
Ghost's 'big spider' is definitely a means of transportation for Natsu, and Rhodes doesn't want Natsu to go directly up to deliver food.
Several figures rushed out of the guild yard.
When he arrived at the lake, Gray stretched out his hand and pressed it on the water: "Ice shape·Pedestrian street in the middle of the lake!"
An avenue large enough for ten people to walk side by side extended forward, with special anti-slip patterns carefully carved on the ice.
"Gray man!" Elfman stepped onto the ice first, followed closely by Kana, Rocky and Gray.
Natsu followed Happy one step behind them with a look of displeasure on his face.
Before the 'big spider' stopped, he could only beat the spider's legs, and the task of finding and destroying the magic crystal was left to several other people. Only in emergencies are he and Habi allowed to cooperate in aerial combat.
Erza, Mira and Lucy set off after them.
Lucy held her cheek: "You actually put me in this group. Could it be that Mr. Rhodes thinks I am as strong as Erza?"
Erza nodded seriously: "After all, you are the one who defeated the orangutan mercenary Duke. Rhodes must have seen your potential."
Lucy collapsed and said, "They say that's a rumor, and the version has changed again!"
Mira was smiling on the side. Rhodes must have felt that Lucy was safer with them, and there were tasks suitable for her.
"The sniper team sets off, Gray, pay attention to the supply points!"
"receive!"
Arzak and Bisika set out with several companions who also knew how to use sniper rifles. They were going to find a suitable sniper spot and took a different route from those in front of them.
In defensive warfare, it would be too passive to huddle in the guild and wait for the enemy to attack.
Not to mention the opponent's weapons, even the aftermath of an ordinary battle may destroy the guild and even affect innocent residents.
Therefore, everyone decided to use external operations to defeat the enemy outside the town. The final main battlefield was directly located inside the ghost, which was destroyed during the battle.
While the assault team was running, they saw a blue flag hanging on the shore. Gray stopped and said, "You go first."
He built another single ice crystal slide, which was very gentle but smooth enough. He jumped up and slid all the way to the supply point on the shore.
The so-called supply point was actually the golem beside Rhodes himself.
As soon as Gray arrived, he was covered with blue light.
"It's actually not necessary. It's easier to make such a simple shape on the lake than in other places."
"I think it's necessary, because you have to build a few more." Rhodes gave Gray a blueprint.
He wanted to build a simple transportation network on the lake, on the one hand to leave some retreat, and on the other hand to conceal the true location of the nest worms to avoid being touched.
This was also the first time Rhodes had no experience in command, and these tasks should be done in advance.
"Okay, since you think it's necessary." Gray went to work. Anyway, the magic supply was sufficient, so it was a little tired.
"Leave it to you, I also have a task."
Rhodes appeared in green armor and jumped into the water. This was to receive the canyon swift crab. It was more convenient to travel in the lake.
…
About five kilometers away from the other side of the lake, a large castle was suspended in the air, supported by six sturdy mechanical legs on the outside, moving forward step by step.
Each mechanical leg was about the same thickness as the spire-shaped building in the castle.
Every step the mechanical leg took would leave a large pit on the ground, with several cracks extending outward.
Although the foot was designed to absorb shock, the huge weight still made it make a rumbling sound when walking.
The president of the Ghost, Joseph, was standing at the window of the building on the top floor of the guild at this time, holding a monocular telescope to check the situation.
A small purple magic circle flashed on the barrel of the telescope, which was obviously a magic prop.
People like him who like to play tricks always have a little sense of intelligence gathering.
"What's that trick?" He saw that there seemed to be some strange ice roads on the lake, and several figures ran along the ice to the lakeshore.
"Take the initiative to deliver it to the door?" Joseph waved his hand, "Jupiter starts loading."
No matter what they do, just defeat them. As long as they are within range, Jupiter will immediately open fire.
