Chapter 279 Response Plan
It was snowing heavily, the wind was howling, and the airship was sailing in the vast whiteness.
Farouk is located at the northernmost tip of the continent. When the cold winter comes, heavy snow will fall one after another. It is almost impossible to wait for a few days without snowing before sailing.
At the railing of the viewing window, Crown retracted his gaze and said, "The snowstorm is too strong and the visibility is very poor. It will be difficult to compare the road signs on the route. The way back to the city is not easy."
The wind and snow were strong and the outdoor temperature was too low, so the airship cab needed to be de-iced continuously, otherwise there would be no visibility at all.
Flanders smiled and said, "It won't take more than a few days, so it's better to walk slower."
After discussing the number of troops to be sent by each diocese and the allocation of supplies at the Cardinals' Conference, they set off in a hurry.
The information Moon had detected was very worrying. The quality of the cultists' troops was improving too quickly, and other forces must be notified as soon as possible to prepare.
This time when they returned to the city, Lannister also followed.
The Silver Warlock is still unaware of what is happening in the Andes Mountains, which is a high-end combat force that has been 'abducted' from the past.
They had already discussed a feasible policy to resume large-scale potion trade with the Brotherhood of Warlocks, but the condition was that the Lannisters must contribute before the end of the war.
This free thug who comes to your doorstep must be used ruthlessly, otherwise it would be a shame for him to come all the way from Sendani Island.
Cavendish laughed. "I really want to see Lannister's expression when he finds out the whole story. It must be very interesting."
Flanders' expression was somewhat amusing: "He is definitely depressed and may even curse in his heart, but that is not important. We just ask him to concentrate on his work.
In fact, it cannot be said that we are plotting against him. During the last holy war, we signed a united front agreement. When a war against the evil god breaks out, local forces have the right to summon all extraordinary people to join the war. "
Cavendish nodded slightly, the smile on his face faded, and he said, "The cultists' power has been growing. This winter has become a time for them to expand their forces. How should we respond? We can't just sit there and wait and do nothing, right?"
The Archbishop turned around and asked, "Klauen, what do you think?"
Klauen considered his words carefully and said in a deep voice, "We need to continue our investigation. We can recruit the Artifact Manufacturing Association to build an airship with faster speed and stronger armor.
I think the new airship can be made into two models. The first model can be made smaller, able to accommodate dozens of people and carry food supplies for these people for about ten days.
This airship performs reconnaissance missions and is responsible for luring flesh-alchemical creatures such as the two-headed chimera.
There is an elite combat team inside, and a few of us will lead the team personally, responsible for hunting down the enemy's high-end combat capabilities.
In addition, this type of airship is equipped with high-powered rapid-fire firearms with larger bullets to deal with ordinary flying units."
After his trip to the Vatican, the breadth and depth of his knowledge reserves increased significantly.
Clown knew that the materials needed to make the two-headed chimera were extremely rare, and the enemy could not produce it in large quantities, otherwise they would not have to fight. Facing the overwhelming third-level monsters, perhaps only those of them at the silver level could escape, and everyone else would die in battle.
He paused, and seeing that the other two were listening attentively, he continued, "As for the second type of airship, it must be built as large as possible. It does not have to be fast, but only strong enough.
This airship can be used to drop large bombs to destroy enemy base facilities and kill low-level enemy combatants.
If the operation goes well, the enemy will suffer heavy casualties. I think in order to avoid waste, the cultists will use the blood and flesh of the dead to perform alchemy.
The success rate of ordinary flesh and blood alchemical creatures is not high, and even if they succeed, they still face the risk of the creatures gradually becoming out of control.
After a long winter, how many of these flesh-and-blood alchemical creatures will survive until spring?"
After he finished speaking, the other two fell silent, both thinking about the feasibility of the matter.
Crown did not urge him. The extraordinary people believed most in their own strength and had a lukewarm attitude towards thermal weapons. They believed that thermal weapons could only be used against low-level targets.
His soul came from a world without personal power. If he didn't know how powerful thermal weapons could be, he wouldn't have proposed this plan.
He didn't know whether nuclear weapons could be used here, but he believed that if the high explosives he made were made into a bomb big enough, even a fourth-level extraordinary person would suffer.
Fourth-level transcendents still belong to the category of flesh and blood creatures, and high-yield weapons can still have a strong killing effect.
Cavendish thought for a while and said:
"Are you taking it for granted? The enemy's important base facilities will definitely have magic arrays. Can weapons made by mortals really destroy the magic arrays? I have seen the latest weapons of the Wonderful Object Manufacturing Association. They can cause considerable damage to second-level extraordinary people, but they are unlikely to be effective against third-level extraordinary people."
"We can go back and do an experiment, build a small sanctuary, create a bomb with a large enough yield, and then detonate it to see the effect."
Crown said with a smile that he believed the reason why it didn't work against the third-level extraordinary people was because there were not enough weapons.
If enough ordinary people with the best weapons engage in confrontation with a single level three transcendent in open terrain, there is hope that they can kill the level three transcendent under the full firepower coverage of ordinary people.
Maybe the conditions for success are very harsh, but how long does it normally take to train a third-level extraordinary person? How long does it take to train a group of ordinary people to shoot with guns?
A high-yield bomb may not be able to cause damage to a high-speed moving target for various reasons, let alone hitting an immobile target.
Seeing is believing, and seeing the real results is more convincing.
Flanders said: "We can try this plan. If ordinary people's weapons can kill a large number of cultists, we will have a better chance of winning against the evil gods."
He suddenly realized that ordinary people's weapons are not complicated to operate. The reason why they subconsciously ignore it is that if the spirituality of ordinary people is polluted and distorted, the tragedy of infighting will occur.
However, if these weapons were used by extraordinary people, then his concerns would be greatly alleviated.
The threat from the evil god is still far away, and the most pressing threat now is the battle with the evil god's followers.
If they eliminate all of the evil god's minions before he fully revives, would it be easier to face him?
Crown praised: "I think Your Excellency will not regret your decision today. Perhaps we can create a brand new history."
Ordinary people will also contribute to sniping the evil god's followers. Only in this way can we unite all the forces that can be united to fight against the evil god. The archbishop originally ignored the role of ordinary people.
"I hope so."
. . . .
After five days of difficult flight, the airship finally arrived in Rhine City.
The weather was nice, the wind stopped, the snow stopped, and the sun was shining on the white world.
"My Lords, I will not stay here any longer. There are still many things waiting for me to do in Hamers City," said Crown.
The blacksmith shop, arsenal, and pharmacy all need to work at full capacity to produce. In addition, he is eager to know the current level of his private armed forces.
Most importantly, he missed that alienated land too much. He missed every tree and blade of grass there, and he missed the star creature that wanted to kill him but he could do nothing about it.
Flanders nodded: "Okay, I'll have the airship take you back directly.
I will inform other forces of the dangers we will face. All forces in Rhine City must work together.
The matter of requisitioning the Rare Item Manufacturing Association to manufacture airships will also be started as soon as possible, and I will inform you of the results. "
There is so much preparation that needs to be done, there is no rush, and everyone will be busy.
"What about me?"
Lannister said loudly, "I want to accompany Lord Crown to Hammers City."
The warlock didn't want to stay here any longer. He knew that staying in Rhine City would be of no help in reaching an agreement to restart the Golden Light Potion on a large scale.
He now sees clearly that Crown can make most of the decisions regarding the transaction.
Flanders patted the warlock on the shoulder and said kindly:
“You will stay here for the time being. There is a meeting for you to attend and we need your help.
After a while, Crown will definitely return to Rhine City."
Now is the time to confront the other side. The Church needs Lannister to integrate the power of the Brotherhood.
War is inevitable and no one can stay out of it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
For some reason, Lannister shuddered, and he had a bad feeling that he was on a pirate ship.
. . . .
The first thing Crown did after returning to Hamers City was to head to the alienated area.
The war is about to begin, and his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell is rapidly improving, so he will be more confident in facing it.
Putting aside the benefits of being able to acquire skills, as your proficiency increases, the amount of materials such as Sunfire Liquid you obtain each time you visualize will increase.
The amount of materials he can obtain after one hour of visualization is now about 30% higher than when he just advanced to the third level. This is a huge number, and the amount of materials gained over time is very considerable.
What's even better is that after visualizing the Golden Light Mantra more often, his need for food also decreased accordingly, and he was able to "fill his stomach" better by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
Unconsciously, he has embarked on a path of cultivating immortals, perhaps he is slowly entering the stage of fasting.
The snow on the road was so thick that it was almost knee-deep, making it a luxury to drive a motorcycle or take a horse-drawn carriage.
After making a pair of skis, Crown set off, followed by Fokine, and tiny Buster was caught by a crow to experience the joy of flying.
After not seeing him for a month, Fujin had grown a lot taller. He was now as tall as a man, and his feathers seemed to be plated with gold, becoming even more shining.
Through his psychic vision, Clown discovered that a lot of the solar thunder seals on the crow's bones had been completed, but his progress was not as fast as Buster's. It was obvious that he suffered a loss of one month with his master.
After leaving the city, Crown sped all the way. He had never learned to ski, but with his current physical condition, it was easy for him to master this skill.
There are many animal footprints in the snow, most of which are small animals, and a few are birds.
When he came near the alienated area, he saw from afar that there was no snow on the land.
Crystallized white is still the main color here. Although there are lush vegetation and some animals can be seen, it still gives people a lifeless feeling.
Standing on the edge of the alienated area, Crown felt a sense of desolation and despair. He realized that this was the last wail and cry from this land.
Perhaps after a period of time, this area will be completely transformed into a different order and can never be restored to its previous state.
He sighed and shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do to change the situation.
Klauen released his flaming breath, condensed the source armor, then released the alloy armor, raised his foot and stepped in.
The alloy armor now has the property of breaking magic and can expel various polluting laws. It can be regarded as a weakened version of the golden light body protection.
Fu Jin did not enter the air above the alienated area, but hovered near the edge, as if afraid of something.
This guy is also very sharp. Clown understands that the star creature has the strength of the fourth level. If Fujin comes in and is ambushed, he will be dead.
'Go play, don't go far.'"
He used the mental link to give orders to his pet, and began to continuously release golden light.
Golden light shone, and Clown was like a small sun, shining and radiating heat, dispelling the inexplicable darkness on the land. His proficiency in the Golden Light Spell began to increase wildly. Two hours later, he felt that only about 20% of his life force was left, and he slowly walked out of the alienated area.
He now always reserves some strength to deal with unexpected situations.
Perhaps the star creatures were frightened by his attack and did not come out to harass him, so his hope of experimenting with the new alloy armor was dashed.
Klauen summoned a golden wall, and golden light flashed in his eyes.
[Golden Light Mantra: 45706/150000; Level 3]
[Flame Breath: 4483/50000; Level 4]
Now the proficiency gained each time he released the golden light to purify pollution had decreased a little, but as his proficiency in the golden light spell continued to grow, the source of life contained in his body also increased a lot, and this time his proficiency increased by nearly three thousand points.
If the cult's troops wait until next spring to begin expanding outward, their proficiency in the Golden Light Spell should exceed 100,000. It's a wonderful thought.
"Haha," Clown chuckled and then roared towards the sky. Thunder shook the wilderness and the sound waves spread in all directions.
The clouds above his head seemed to be affected as well, slowly drifting away into the distance.
The long roar stopped and a response came from afar.
"Quack, quack"
Fu Jin's voice pierced the clouds and split the rocks, with the clarity of an eagle's cry.
This pet looks less and less like a crow.
Crown looked in the direction of the sound. His extraordinary vision gave him super long-distance vision. He saw a huge prey caught in the claws of the fast-flying Fujin. It was clearly a reindeer.
Buster wrapped his tail around the antlers, still taking the 'ride'.
Reindeer are very large, with their body length comparable to the wingspan of a crow with its wings spread.
Birds' bones are hollow, and even though Fujin is an extraordinary creature, the fact that he can lift such a heavy object and fly at high speed proves his extraordinaryness.
