Starting From Zero

Chapter 128 Power

Anyway, the reconnaissance mission is basically over, and there is no need for me to stay here. Pinch the detonating crystal that Crystal Chocolate gave me and input a little bit of magic power. boom! boom! boom! ...The whole valley began to shake, and all the rocks filled with explosives mixed in the gravel were detonated!

I paid special attention to the magic light cannon. Although I knew from the beginning that this secret weapon would not be unprotected, I still had a certain amount of luck in my heart!

I only saw a huge boulder very close to the magic light cannon suddenly exploded. For a while, the gravel flew randomly, and many members of the Light Legion were knocked down. However, a light green light curtain suddenly lit up around the magic light cannon. , the gravel smashed against the light curtain, but none of it could pass through the light curtain and hit the laser cannon inside. Even the shock wave was rebounded, and in turn knocked back some of the slower-flying gravel! In addition to the magic light cannon, even the waterwheels have defensive barriers. The Temple of Light is really careful!

It seems that it is impossible to destroy the magic light cannon with explosives. Turn the teleportation ring and dodge directly. Let's go back and find a way to solve it!

What I chose was to teleport directly back to Essinger. Anyway, the Dark Army will be back soon! Although the dragons did not stay for an hour as planned, but now that the valley is exploded like that, it is unlikely that the Temple of Light will be able to catch up with the Dark Army!

I suddenly remembered that my private chat with Hongchen Qiufeng had not been cut off, so I quickly asked: "Hongchen Qiufeng? Are you still there?"

"Here! You said you had seen the thunder cannon just now, but I didn't dare to disturb you for fear of affecting your command! How about it? Are you okay?"

"Well! It's okay now. Thank you so much. I almost suffered heavy losses!" In fact, it was quite miserable now, but luckily we turned around and ran away in advance, otherwise the casualties would have been much greater!

Hongchen Qiufeng said nervously: "Did they open fire?"

"I tried shooting once and killed a lot of dragons, but it's still acceptable!"

"That's good! That magic light cannon is the secret weapon of the Temple of Light. I happened to see it, and no other players knew about it. The Temple of Light has always covered it with a big wooden box, and it never fires until it is fired. When I opened it, I thought it was a carriage pulling supplies at first, but yesterday I discovered that it was actually a door cannon. Later, I spent a long time with the NPC who was pulling the horses for the carriage, and then I realized that it was a secret weapon. !”

I interrupted him and said, "Didn't you say you have two things to say? One is the magic light cannon, and the other is what?"

"Another piece of news is the news we just got. The Temple of Light troops approaching Miyun City suddenly turned around."

What did I think? The Dragon Clan and I had already seen this when we returned! "That's it! I already know it! They seem to be heading back, probably wanting to join the other half of the army!"

"No!" Hongchen Qiufeng said excitedly: "They are trying to trick the enemy! As soon as your dragon left, they turned around again!"

"Turn around? Where?"

"A place called Rock Valley!"

"Iwatani? Where is that place?"

"I only know that it is a valley, but I don't know why the Legion of Light ran there!"

"Okay, thank you for the information. If you have any new information, tell me immediately!"

"OK!"

After cutting off the private chat, I became confused again! Iwatani? Never heard of it! Open the teleportation ring and select the city to teleport. It prompted me to enter a city name. After I entered Iwatani, it prompted me that there is no such city. That means Iwatani, like Ryugu, is just a place name, not a city!

I ran to the Juling Tower and called Vida over. "Have you ever heard of Iwatani?"

"Never heard of it! I think it's a city!"

"Then go and do your business!" Vader didn't know that there was nothing he could do!

Wei Na suddenly walked in from the side. "I know a place called Iwa Valley, but I don't know if it's the Iwa Valley you mentioned!"

"You know? Tell me where!"

"follow me!"

Vina took me to Essinger's map room, where there is a collection of maps explored by all players as well as maps in the hands of NPCs. By summarizing these maps, a rough world map can be drawn. There is now a giant stone map on the floor of the entire drawing room, but many places are still blank. Vina led me to a spot in the room and pointed to the floor. "This is our Essinger, push a little southwest, get here!" She said while walking on the map. "Then! This is Iwatani!"

I lay on the ground and looked. This place is still a long way from Essinger, and it is inland. There are no rivers or cities around it. Why would the Army of Light go to such a place where birds do not lay eggs?

Suddenly the door was pushed open and Vader ran in, holding a battle report in his hand. "City Lord, this is the battle report sent back by our intelligence department!"

I took it and opened it and looked at it. The Temple of Light sent a large number of elite sniper teams to hunt down our scouts. No wonder none of the reconnaissance teams sent by Al Ni at the beginning came back!

Vader gave me another battle report. "This is a report sent back by spies tracking another group of Light Legion."

I opened it and took a look. This information was very strange! The spies reported that their legion turned back after learning that Miyun was attacked, but after the incoming dragon left, it suddenly turned and headed towards a place called Rock Valley. And what’s even stranger is that they are now cutting down trees to weave rafts outside Rock Valley! What could you do with a raft in a place surrounded by mountains and not even a stream? What on earth is this Army of Light doing?

The door was pushed open again, and another soldier ran in. "Report!"

"whats the matter?"

"There is news from the Temple of the Goddess that the Legion of Light that just broke through the canyon is camping at the mouth of the canyon!"

"Oh, I see!"

Things are getting weirder! The 15 million light army that went straight to Essinger broke through our blockade after losing nearly 6 million. However, the army that should have continued to pursue suddenly stopped at the mouth of the canyon and began to camp. Another army of light who originally planned to board a boat in Miyun City and arrive at Essinger by sea, after learning that Miyun was destroyed, actually ran to a rocky valley surrounded by mountains to make rafts! What are the commanders of the Temple of Light thinking in their minds?

After leaving the map room and returning to the Soul Gathering Tower, Rose and the others were actually back. Players have teleportation scrolls, which are indeed faster than NPCs!

As soon as Su Mei saw me, she ran over. "You move faster than us!" I flashed the teleportation ring. "I forgot you had this!"

I looked around and didn't seem to see any roses. "Where's the rose?"

"She said she was coming back with Arni and the others."

"oh!"

Shura Ziyi and Ziyue came over together. "I heard that you left some secret weapons for reconnaissance. How was the situation? What were the results of your reconnaissance?"

"Know two important points! First, the secret weapon has a protective cover, which is very strong, but it seems to be able to selectively allow some things to pass through! Second, that thing cannot be fired continuously and requires a lot of water for cooling.”

The eagle also came over. "What is that thing? I only see a beam of light behind me. Is it really powerful?"

"It's more powerful than the magic crystal cannon, but its energy is too concentrated, so it's more lethal. And because it's very ambitious, I'm worried that that thing will accurately hit key targets! For example, our magic cannon Crystal cannon! Judging from the current situation, that thing has a much farther range than all our weapons!"

"What should we do?"

"I won't be anxious if I know what to do!" I sat on the steps and supported my head with my hands. "You guys should log off and rest first! There will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow, and I can't do it without you!"

"Okay then!" Everyone went offline one after another, and I was the only one sitting there in a daze! Why! This stick really makes me more depressed the more I hit it! The combat strategy was planned in advance, but the Temple of Light always did not play its cards as expected, making us very passive! Although there were spies in the Temple of Light, they could never get the key information, and the scouts sent out were wiped out by the sniper team! The most hateful thing is that the Temple of Light also has weapons of mass destruction! Are you deliberately bullying us?

Speaking of weapons of mass destruction, I suddenly thought of something. Isn't the Tower of Babel a super weapon of mass destruction? I wonder if that thing can fire at half power? Long Yuan's space-based satellite killer system allows half-power transmission in emergency situations. Although the power will be reduced, the charging time can be shortened. This Tower of Babel should be similar to a satellite killer. I wonder if it can also be launched at half power!

I quickly ran under the Tower of Babel. After entering the tower, I inserted the activation crystal and the screen lit up again. "The Sword of God is being recharged. There are 401 hours, 3 minutes and 1 seconds left."

I said to the screen: "Switch target!"

"Are you sure you want to delete the original target?"

"confirm!"

"Please enter a new goal!"

"Start search!"

"Start search and end!" The screen changed into a distant view of the earth.

"China!" The screen zoomed in.

"Here!" I pointed to the canyon where the Legion of Light was stationed. "Zoom in!" The picture zoomed in. Although it was a little far away from the canyon, it was still nearby.

"Move three kilometers to the north! One kilometer to the east!" The troops of the Temple of Light finally appeared on the screen. The vast army was setting up camp. It looked messy! I continued to zoom in and started looking for the location of the magic light cannon.

Although I still don't know if this thing can fire at half power, my mood has improved because I found something to replace the scout. The Tower of Babel is simply the highest level of voyeurism. This thing can even pass through clouds, and it can still see the enemy at night, which shows that this thing has night vision capabilities! With this, reconnaissance will not be a problem. Why didn't I think of it earlier!

I finally found it, but I was in trouble! According to the information provided by Hongchen Qiufeng, the magic light cannon was disguised with wooden boxes during transportation. It looked like a carriage pulling many small wooden boxes. In fact, only the outer circle and the top layer were boxes. It's empty! But now I actually found more than a dozen of these carriages in the camp! I took a closer look at the waterwheels in the camp, and there were only 18 in total! Only two water trucks can cool one magic light cannon, and 18 water trucks don't seem to be enough to cool so many magic light cannons. So why does the Temple of Light bring so many magic light cannons?

I looked at the time and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. I wonder if the autumn wind in the world of mortals is still there! I tried to get through in the private chat, but I didn’t expect it. I was so lucky!

"The autumn wind in the world?"

"President Ziri! What's going on?"

"How many magic light cannons are there in the Temple of Light?"

Hongchen Qiufeng was stunned by my question. "Isn't there only one door?"

"Do you only know one thing?"

"Yeah! I only saw one door!"

"But I saw a dozen giant carriages full of boxes in their camp!"

"More than a dozen?" Hongchen Qiufeng paused and said, "Are you near the camp now?"

"No! But I have a way to see the camp. What can you say?"

Hongchen Qiufeng said: "If you can't figure out the number, just look at the water carts. The NPC I contacted said that there are usually 6 water carts for one cannon, and they take turns to fetch water during the battle. You will know how many cannons there are by looking at how many water carts there are. !”

"I saw 18. Does that mean there are only 3 guns?"

"probably!"

"I see a dozen of the same giant carriages here. Do you know how to tell which one is equipped with a magic light cannon?"

"I don't know!" Hongchen Qiufeng said: "Would you like me to go to the camp to help you scout? I am their alliance player, and I will not be suspected when I enter the camp!"

"Well, you go and help me take a look!" I told him the location of the camp and temporarily cut off the conversation. There is no village in front of the valley and no store in the back. Even if Hongchen Qiufeng teleports to a nearby city and then rides there, it will take more than half an hour!

I took the time to familiarize myself with the Tower of Babel and said to the screen, "Can you fire at half power?"

"The Sword of God allows you to fire without recharging, but the power will drop by more than 95%! And all the remaining energy will be used up at once, and the countdown will be re-read! The current charging energy is only enough to maintain firing for 3 Seconds!"

If it drops by 95%, then there will only be 5% left! I don’t know if this power is enough to destroy the magic light cannon. If it can’t penetrate the magic shield, it will be in trouble! Is 3 seconds too short? No matter what, let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor! It's best if you can kill him, no more!

"Get ready to shoot!"

"Send 'fire' on standby, please confirm!"

"Wait a minute!"

The wait lasted more than forty minutes. It seemed that I overestimated the speed of the autumn wind in the world at the beginning! When "Xi Liao" started playing, I could already see the autumn wind in the world of mortals on the screen.

"I have arrived!"

"I saw you!" Hongchen Qiufeng started to look around, and I said with a smile: "Stop looking, I'm far away from there, you can't see me! Start working now! There is one on your left. Come over and see if you can!”

Hongchen Qiufeng pretended to be strolling around and wandered near the carriage. Several NPC mages walked by without paying attention to him. However, when he wanted to get closer, he was intercepted. The two paladins were very polite but told him not to get close without any resistance!

"I can't get through it!"

"Don't worry, go check next to other cars first!"

"Okay!" Hongchenqiufeng started to swing to the side of another car again! This time it was strange that he was allowed to approach the carriage without anyone stopping him. Carefully push the corner box away a little so that there is a crack to see inside. Hongchen Qiufeng quickly glanced inside, and then said: "No! This car is full of boxes!"

"Then look at other cars!"

After a long circle, there were only three vehicles guarded by paladins who were not allowed to approach, and the ones that were not guarded were all fake. The number of three vehicles is consistent with the number estimated from the number of waterwheels, which means that there are only three magic light cannons in the Temple of Light, and they are the three carriages that no one can get close to! But the problem now is that the three carriages are not leaning on each other, they are parked in different locations in the camp! The camp has not been completed yet, so the carriages are scattered. What should we do?

Hongchen Qiufeng said that he was too tired and the system had warned him to go offline, so I asked him to leave first. He wouldn't be able to help with the next thing anyway!

"Choose a target!" I pointed out a carriage with a magic light cannon on the screen. No matter what, kill one first!

"Target confirmation, whether to launch or not!"

"Wait a minute!" I shouted again: "Can I move the beam after firing? For example, draw a straight line on the ground or something like that?"

"No! Once you start firing, you can't turn it!"

"Okay then! Shoot at the target!"

"The target is selected, the filling is completed, and the deflection test begins!" The top of the Tower of Babel suddenly shot out a very thin red line. This red line shot straight into the sky, passed through the clouds, and disappeared into the stars. Five seconds later, a red light beam as thick as a finger suddenly fell from the camp being built by the Legion of Light on the screen. Although it is very thin, because it is night, the red light beam is still very eye-catching. Almost all the Legion of Light in the camp noticed this thin line. The thin line is still more than ten meters away from the carriage I selected, but it is closer to another carriage with a magic light cannon next to it.

"What's going on?" I felt dizzy looking at the powerless light. Although it was only 5% powerful, it couldn't be so thin! Besides, it actually deviated from the target I chose by more than ten meters!

"This is just a test beam, used to test magic interference. It is being fine-tuned now!" The beam began to move slowly, gradually approaching the target carriage, and finally the red light beam shone on the carriage. "Already aiming! Confirm to launch?"

"Confirm firing!"

"emission'!"

A blood-red light beam with a diameter of more than five meters suddenly shot out from the top of the Tower of Babel. The beam of light shot straight into the sky, and even the dark clouds that lingered over Isengard opened a hole. The light beam here fired for 3 seconds and then suddenly went out! But nothing was seen over there. After another two seconds, a red light suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the carriage.

boom! There was a violent explosion, and the entire carriage turned into a fireball that rolled and flew more than ten feet high. The flames spread in all directions and quickly swept away nearby enemies. The red light beam lasted for 3 seconds and then suddenly ended. The carriage had disappeared, and a large pit with an opening of ten meters in diameter and a bottom of five meters in diameter and a depth of seven or eight meters was left on the ground below the carriage! What a terrifying destructive power!

Although it only has 5% power, the terrifying big hole and the Legion of Light soldiers covered in fire and running around on the screen all prove that the power of this thing is unparalleled! It seems that if this thing is fired at full power, it can blow up half the city. When it is full next time, I will first attack Biliangcheng from the Black Dragon Club!

Let the Tower of Babel continue to recharge, and I left the Tower of Babel first. I took Vader on a tour of the city defenses and just saw a city wall. The dragons have returned! The plague landed next to me first. "Owner!"

"Why did you come back early? Where is the Dark Army?"

"Still behind. After we escorted the Dark Army three hundred miles outside the city, we received intelligence that the Light Army did not pursue them but camped where they were, so Al Ni asked us to come back first! Everyone is very tired and needs to rest! "

"Thank you for your hard work today! Let's take everyone to rest! The injured should be treated quickly. Maybe the Legion of Light will arrive at our city at noon tomorrow!"
