Chapter 100 The Mysterious Passage
Chapter 100 The 'Mysterious' Passage
"Iron Crusaders are very grateful for your help. We will not let you suffer!" Ashford happily took a scroll from Messet behind him. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was a scroll recording a certain technology, because this morning's transactions were all about this kind of scroll. "This is the ironclad ship manufacturing technology that represents the highest shipbuilding technology in our guild. Although it is not the best in Europe, it is definitely much more advanced than wooden-hulled warships!"
Ironclad ship production technology? There were stars in both of my eyes. "Thank you! I'm very happy to be able to do something that I can for my German friends!" After saying that, he quickly opened the transaction column and placed 30 purple-leaf grasses and Ashford for trade.
"Happy cooperation!" The two of us shook hands to indicate that the transaction was successful.
"Where will President Ziri go next?" Ashford asked.
"This...!" I was thinking about whether to tell him. If we tell him, we might be able to borrow troops from him to send us into the Death Mountains, but if Ashford does something bad, won't that increase the difficulty of the mission in disguise? After much consideration, I decided to speak out. After all, cooperation with the Iron Crusaders is not a one-and-done deal. There will be many things to cooperate with in the future, and they should not lose the big for the small. "Our guild has a mission and needs to cross the Death Mountain. I wonder if you can help?"
"Miss Rose asked me about Nilan. Didn't you expect this to be the reason?"
Rose walked up to me and whispered: "I found out from players in other guilds that there is Nilan City in front of the Death Mountain, so I asked him about Nilan's situation!"
I said to Ashford: "From your point of view, can Nilan pass?"
Ashford dragged out: "It's not necessarily true! The Women's Federation is not a simple guild, and they never associate with outside guilds. We don't know much about what's inside! In terms of combat effectiveness, we can do it It will be dozens of times better than them, but if we attack the city, we really may not be able to defeat it!"
"Is it so powerful?"
"I'm afraid so!" Ashford nodded: "Several guilds have attacked Nilan before, but the result was that the entire army was annihilated. No guild can capture Nilan!"
Messet also followed: "Originally, the method of using armed massacres to send people into the city first and then kill all the players inside is very effective, but Nilan's teleportation point is not allowed to be used by players from other guilds at all, and the city The door is rarely opened, and they don’t accept outside players at all!”
"Then how do they recruit people?" Rose asked.
Ashford said in surprise: "You don't want to sneak in, do you?"
When he said this, even Shura Ziyi screamed. "What a great idea! Can I sneak in with you?"
I interrupted: "Don't think about it, it's useless! What's the use of you entering? Help us open the city gate or kill everyone in the city? Even if their guild doesn't have many combat players, killing you two is not a problem. Bar?"
Qing Qing said: "Did we complicate things from the beginning?"
"How to say?"
"We haven't seen them until now. Maybe we can talk to them and see if they might let us pass? Why did we start conquering them with force in the first place? Are you a little more violent?"
Rose told everyone about my experience. Wu Wuqing shook her head helplessly after hearing it: "I think we should continue to think of ways to occupy the city!"
The poisoner suddenly said: "Isn't there any other way to enter the Death Mountain besides that city?"
Ashford said: "There is a way, but it is very difficult!"
"Is it difficult to capture a city?"
I took it and said: "Getting in is not the problem, the key is getting out! Can we bring millions of troops over the mountain? In comparison, I think it might be faster to dig a hole through!"
"That's right! Boss, don't you have a magic pet that can dig holes?" Big pot rice is a bad idea!
"Do you think we have time? The Death Mountains are part of the Alps in real life. The thickness of the mountain is unimaginable. If the hole is dug through Isinger, it will be over!"
Su Mei said: "I have an idea, you might as well try it!"
"any solution?"
"Brother Ziri said that the other party really wants the Tower of Babel, right?"
"yes!"
"Then we can fish!"
"fishing?"
"First ask to negotiate with them, tell them that the tower is in our hands, and if they want the Tower of Babel, make way for us!"
"You don't have to make such a big sacrifice, right?" I was a little reluctant. Although I knew that the troops of the Mist Legion were more important than the Tower of Babel, I didn't want to lose any of them!
Su Mei continued: "I didn't say that I really wanted to give it! We can say that we are afraid that they will regret it if we deliver the goods in advance, so we ask that we wait until we receive the troops and come back through the city before delivering the goods!"
"They won't agree!" Ashford said, "They will feel insecure if you ask like this!"
"Brother Ziri can stay as a hostage!"
"Isn't it?"
Su Mei smiled like a little fox: "Don't worry! Their guild is all female players, so they can't do anything to you. Besides, it doesn't matter even if you are killed! You don't have the attribute that the system gives you that cannot drop equipment. Is it sex? Even if they take off your equipment, it will be useless. The property of the equipment will still show that it belongs to you. As long as you log out and log in again, won't it return to you? If it doesn't work, you can still escape. Really! There’s no problem if you can’t beat me and run away, right? With your strength, you should be able to run away as long as all the players in Germany are not chasing you!”
Rose actually helped and said: "This is a good method! Sacrifice you to make us all happy!"
"Why do I feel betrayed!"
Qingqing said: "That means your feeling is quite accurate!"
Although it is already past five o'clock in the afternoon, Essinger is eagerly waiting for our combat strength, so I did not delay and gave everyone an hour to go offline to eat, freshen up, and then come up to gather!
An hour passed quickly. After gathering online, we quickly arrived outside Nilan City. Ashford sent someone to send us outside the city and then went back. This women's association does not interact with the outside world at all. The Iron Crusaders cannot take advantage of them here, otherwise as long as they help!
Nilan City does not look very majestic from the outside. Of course, a large part of the reason is that we are used to seeing the city walls of Essinger, so when we see the city walls here, we feel that they are very ordinary! Objectively speaking, the city walls of Nilan City are quite good, but they are not as majestic as Essinger.
I spread my wings and rose up to the sky to take a look at the general situation of Nilan City. It turned out that Nilan City was built on the mountain. The entire city was sandwiched between the mountains on both sides, so it only had two walls. There are towering peaks on both sides of the city. It is impossible to launch an attack from there!
There is a strange situation in Nilan. Its front city wall, which is the side we are standing on, is forty or fifty meters high, while the other side is only four or five meters high! Obviously there are no enemies on the other side that need to be resisted, so the city wall is only built a little to show off!
When I looked at it from the air, I found that the city seemed to be full of factories, and there was smoke in many places. It looked like a world of machines. But on the contrary, I couldn't see any city defense facilities. I don't know how they were defended! Is it an employer? impossible! Their fighting ability is so poor, how can they defend! It's a pity that the Iron Crusaders have never attacked here, otherwise they would at least know how they fight!
Summon the space door again. This is the last chance today, so I plan to leave it here and leave it open for the time being. If I need a magic pet, I will let him out immediately! The first thing I need this time is luck. His job is to shout for me. The city wall is so high and full of machines. The noise can be heard here. There is really no way around it without a loud voice!
Lucky started to talk to me, and he followed me every time I said something. "Attention players of the Women's Science and Technology Alliance, I am the president of the Chinese Guild Frost Rose Alliance. Please grow up!" I shouted every two minutes, and it took five consecutive calls before the other party responded. The answer to us was not a person, but a cannon. Lucky saw that something was wrong and quickly took us to the rear. A shell landed exactly where we were standing, leaving a large crater with a diameter of one meter in the land.
"Fortunately, it dodges quickly!" If the cannonball just landed among us, everyone except me and Shura Ziyi would be dead!
"They are too arrogant!" Shura Ziyi said unconvinced.
Rose patted her shoulder. "Don't be angry, we are the ones asking for help now!"
Lucky looked at me and asked me with his eyes if I needed to continue shouting. I nodded, but changed the content. "The Tower of Babel is for sale at a cheap price! If you want it, hurry up!"
This time we were not kept waiting. The city gate opened in less than a minute, and the female warrior I killed last time came out, followed by the super mage mm and the beautiful female priest.
"We didn't bother you, but you came to our door!" the female warrior shouted from a distance.
I waved my hand, and the demon knight blocking the space door immediately dodged behind him. The female warrior immediately saw Babel Tower lying in the door, and she rushed over excitedly. The Demon Knight did not intercept her at my signal, but she was bounced back when she reached the door.
She 'touched' along the edge of the door for a long time to make sure she couldn't pass, then turned to me and said, "What do you mean by coming here this time?"
"What I mean is very simple!" Hehe! The big fish bites! "Our guild needs to enter the Death Mountain to do a mission. Your city happens to be blocking the only entrance. I just hope you can lend us a way!"
"Borrowing a way?" The female warrior seemed hesitant, but it didn't last long. She looked at the Tower of Babel in the door, and then said to me: "How many of you want to pass?"
I pointed behind me. "There are just 7 of us, plus our magic pets! But there may be more people when we come back!" I said there would be more people! Don’t blame me for not telling you then!
"How soon can you return?"
"You can't say for sure! If you hurry up, I'll be back at noon tomorrow! If things don't go well, it won't be later than (at night! We are on a mission, and time is beyond our control!"
"Okay then!" The female warrior finally nodded. "Give me the tower and I'll let you in!"
"That's not okay!" I interrupted her: "If I hand over the tower and you turn your back on me, who am I going to talk to to reason with you?"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"You let us in first, and when we come back, I will stay as a hostage. When everyone has passed, I will give you the tower, and then you let me go! I can't run away, and neither can your tower. !”
"Okay!" The female warrior was surprisingly cheerful! "Anyway, the Death Mountain has a powerful seal, and the teleportation scroll is invalid. You can't escape even if you enter!"
I'm dizzy! This is the reason why we did it for a long time. No wonder she is not afraid that we will use the teleportation scroll to run away after we complete the task after entering!
Before entering the city, I closed the space door. Of course, I had to get the demon pet out first. The female warrior was startled when she saw the vast army coming out of the gate. "Didn't you say it was just the seven of you? Why did you bring the entire guild?"
"Use your identification skills to see for yourself!"
The female warrior didn't move, but the priest behind her had a frightened expression on her face. "This... these are all his summons!"
"Hey! Sorry! There are too many people!"
The female warrior took us into the city as agreed. When I came in, I realized that what I saw outside was all fake. The inside of the city was like a garden, and the city walls were filled with all kinds of weird things, which didn't look easy to deal with! This city is actually shrouded in a large-scale illusion. If you really think that there are only factories and no cannons in the city and attack rashly, you will be fooled!
After traveling through the city, I discovered that there are many shops here, and many players are learning auxiliary skills, so this place can be completely self-sufficient! After traveling through the city, we discovered that unlike the two walls we saw in the city at the beginning, there was actually only one city wall in Nilan, which was the one we had when we entered. There were no defense facilities at all behind the city. Instead, there was a large area here. factory, and even saw a mine on the mountain next to it! After working on it for a long time, the industrial facilities are all behind!
I asked the female warrior leading the way casually. "If you don't build the city wall here, what will happen if monsters attack?"
"Do you know what Death Mountain is?"
"have no idea!"
The female priest continued: "You are so stupid, you don't know this! The Death Mountain means that everything in it is dead, there are no living creatures at all. What are you talking about attacking us?"
"Isn't it right? How can there be no monsters in the Death Mountain? There should be many undead creatures in it!"
"Undead creature?"
I called a dark knight over, then took off his helmet, and then tilted his body so that the female priest could see the skull bones in his armor. "Just like this, an undead creature! Of course it doesn't have to be the same as him, it could be a zombie or something!"
"How disgusting! I have never seen anything so terrifying! The Death Mountain is basically a maze. We have sent people into it. The first few kilometers were fine, but as we walked, we suddenly turned back!"
"A way back?" I didn't understand what she meant!
The mage next to me said: "I was there that time, there were 7 people in total. Originally we were walking into the mountains, but after walking for a while, we suddenly found a city in front of us."
Rose and Shura Ziyi both asked excitedly: "Is it the city of death?"
Mage mm said slowly: "We thought so at the time, but when we got closer, we realized that it was Nilan City!"
"What?"
"Nilan?"
"How can it be?"
Mage mm continued: "We were also shocked at the time! There were no side roads along the way. If we kept walking like this, we would somehow end up back at the starting point!"
Rose rubbed her arm and said, "It's so scary! It sounds like a ghost story!"
The female priest took it and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of! We walked there many times, and every time we came back inexplicably, we saw nothing but mountains!"
"Okay, we'll be here!" The female warrior suddenly said: "Continue to walk a few kilometers from here and you will find that you are back here. What I want to tell you is that I don't care whether your mission is completed. In short, When you come back, give me the Tower of Babel!"
"Okay, got it!" I waved my hand forward: "Forward, troops!"
Running like this with more than 6,000 cavalry is really majestic, especially in the valley, the echoes from the mountain walls on both sides are quite spectacular!
Because after listening to what the mage mm from the women's association just said, I judged that there was probably a large-scale illusion in the valley, so I asked people who came in to walk back every time, but this small problem had no effect on me. I just put Amynis at the front of the team and let her ride on Xiaoxue's body and walk next to me.
Sure enough, Amynis discovered a problem not long after leaving. "Wait!" She stopped everyone.
"What did you find?" I asked.
"There!" Amynis pointed to the mountain wall next to her. "Next to that triangular rock, there is an illusion! And here, to the right of the big rock is actually another road, not one! There are three forked roads here!"
"Can it be lifted?"
"Small problem!" Amynis waved his hand, and the valley in front of him immediately changed. Sure enough, there is not one road in front of you, but three!
"The path on the far left is the path that the illusion wants us to take. According to the Women's Federation, we will definitely go back to the end here. So, how should we take the remaining two paths?"
Emenes whispered: "I am only dispelling the illusion, not guiding the way!"
A Dianna said: "Maybe I know!" She turned around and shouted: "Tank, please knock the mountain wall next to you hard!"
The tank immediately turned around and faced the mountain and a guy came. I felt the ground shake! A Di Na waited for a while and said: "Take the middle! The one on the right will be a dead end for a few kilometers!"
Now you know how many magic pets take advantage of you. They can do everything. It’s really convenient!
After walking along the middle road for a while, I suddenly found a mountain wall in front of me, and the road was completely blocked! I turned around and looked at Grandma. "Didn't you say this is accessible?"
A Di Na also said in confusion: "It's strange! It sounds clear!" She walked to the rock wall and knocked lightly, and then called the tank to come over and load it. "Master. Although this place is blocked, you can get through here, and the road is still right! The road next to it is the real dead end! The mountain here is very thin, and it was far away just now, so it sounds like a passage."
"Can it be penetrated?"
"It should be possible. The thickness here is not very thick. As long as there is enough force, it can be penetrated!"
"Lucky, Plague, Crystal, Tank! I'm sorry to bother you!"
The four giant beasts collided with the mountain at the same time. With a loud bang, the entire valley shook violently. The gravel on the mountain fell down one after another. Fortunately, they were all small stones! The huge vibration also stirred up huge smoke and dust, and a large cloud of dust rushed towards the face. Everyone was suddenly enveloped in dust, and the surrounding visibility was no more than two meters.
Just when we couldn't see anything in the dust around us, a loud dragon's roar suddenly came from the front, which sounded like the sound of crystal. But why is she screaming at this time? Could it be that he was in danger?
