Dimensional Expedition

Chapter 15: 15. Not very good at fighting

Views:

Elena's knowledge of blood crystal beasts is also very limited, and the information she currently shares is limited to what is recorded in some ancient books.

"Monsters that appear every once in a while? And wreak havoc until a country is destroyed?"

Lu Cheng repeated Elena's description of the reason why the "Blood Crystal Beast" appeared.

"They first appeared on our border three years ago."

After listening to Elena talking about some irrelevant legends, Hubert had to go out and share some useful information with Lucheng himself.

"No one knows how they appeared, but as soon as they appeared, they destroyed all the villages on our border, including this Crescent Moon Town."

Hubert said as he took off a necklace from his neck and handed it to Lu Cheng.

The necklace is strung with a tooth from an unknown creature, which is as long as an index finger. The surface of the tooth is covered with a black cuticle and is as hard as steel.

"This is?"

"A tooth taken from a blood crystal beast that killed my wife."

There was no sadness in Hubert's voice, but there was a hint of anger.

"Sorry." Lu Cheng returned the tooth to Hubert and said.

"You don't need to apologize, Lord Lu Cheng. I am sure that there are only bones under the sticky skin of these beasts." Hubert put on the necklace again and said, "This is a blood crystal beast in the shape of a wolf. After I tore its head apart completely with my hands, all the liquid surrounding its body evaporated and disappeared."

"Monsters made only of bones and skin? What about their fighting abilities?"

Lu Cheng also knew this. The pterosaur corpses in the research base did not have any internal organs.

After the sticky liquid on the surface evaporated, only a skeleton was left.

"Ordinary soldiers can't match them. What's more terrifying is... they have the ability to absorb magic." General Hubert pulled out a dagger and said, "For some smaller blood crystal beasts, weapons such as swords and daggers can destroy the bones under their skin and stop them from moving. But... for giant blood crystal beasts... I'm afraid only cavalry and catapults have a chance of killing them."

"How big is giant? Is that kind of wolf considered giant?" Lu Cheng asked, pointing at the giant wolf outside the door that had turned into bones.

"That can only be considered ordinary. A year ago, when the Kingdom Army was fighting against the Blood Crystal Beast, I saw a Blood Crystal Beast that needed to be looked up at. Its head could even reach the moon..."

"Please stop your analogy and give an accurate number. According to the height of this building, is it high or low?" Lu Cheng asked.

This church is a two-story building. Judging from the road, the height of the church before it collapsed should be about ten meters, which is already the most magnificent building in this town.

"It was twice as big as the Cathedral of the God of Souls. Many of our kingdom's best soldiers died in that war," Hubert said.

"Twice, about twenty meters? If we encounter this kind of thing, we might as well use a rocket launcher... No, we might as well just bring in a bunch of smoothbore howitzers and bombard it with a wave of firepower."

Elena listened quietly to Lu Cheng's narration. Although she couldn't understand some of the Chinese terms, she could still hear the confidence in Lu Cheng's tone.

"Mr. Lu Cheng, the fire... rockets and grenades you mentioned... are these all magic?" Elena reminded Lu Cheng in a low voice, "Magic has no effect on blood crystal beasts."

"Magic, I'm not talking about magic, I'm talking about weapons."

Lu Cheng could understand why Elena made such a guess. Chinese might sound like a difficult spell to her. The princess was already trying very hard to imitate Lu Cheng's pronunciation and not bite her tongue.

"arms?"

Elena said as she took another careful look at Lucheng.

Lu Cheng's attire was very difficult to understand for people of her time, in other words, it was what was called strange and bizarre.

The only thing Elena could see was that Lu Cheng's clothes were much lighter than armor, but the corresponding sacrifice was protective ability.

Don't soldiers in this country need to wear armor? This is also what made Elena confused, but she didn't ask more.

Now her focus is on the weapons mentioned by Lu Cheng.

Unfortunately, after Elena looked around Lu Cheng, she only saw a dagger-like weapon on his leg.

"About this..."

Lu Cheng thought about it for a while at this time.

Rifles are only the most basic individual combat equipment in military operations.

If a modern war really breaks out, it is estimated that tanks, howitzers, and intercontinental missiles will be used first.

So informing these natives of the existence of the rifles was not a problem.

"The weapons we use are called guns."

Lu Cheng picked up the rifle on his shoulder and placed it horizontally on his knees.

"gun?"

Elena stared at the object in Lu Cheng's hand. The dark surface of the object did not look like a forged metal, but a material she had never seen before...

But Elena didn't find any sharp parts on the weapon.

"Is this a weapon that radiates magic power like a magic wand? Or... is it something you hold in your hand and wave around?"

Elena gestured with her hands as she spoke, but she really couldn't figure out how to use this strangely shaped weapon.

The last gesture made by the princess looked like... she was waving some kind of wooden stick.

“Instead of describing it in words, it’s better to actually demonstrate its power,” Lu Cheng said.

"Is it really possible?"

At this moment, Elena's mind also appeared the scene of the giant wolves' bodies exploding. Although Elena only heard a few sounds at the time, just hearing the sounds was shocking enough.

"Of course there is a prerequisite. The prerequisite is that we need a certain resource. If you can provide it in large quantities... I will consider contacting our country to discuss supporting you." Lu Cheng said.

Noi has already informed the capital of Skarre that there are a large number of earth vein crystals.

If Lucheng wants to explore for wild earth vein crystals, it is unknown how much work and time it will take, which is beyond the support of the energy Lucheng currently has.

It’s better to just find a ready-made one.

“What resources?”

"this."

Lu Cheng took out the sample of the earth vein crystal. The energy in this crystal had been completely absorbed by Lu Cheng, and it seemed that it had not recovered after several hours.

At present, Lu Cheng is not sure whether this earth vein crystal is reusable or disposable.

The moment Lu Cheng took out the earth vein crystal, before Elena could react, General Hubert next to her stood up first, his emotions slightly out of control.

"This... Lord Lu Cheng, your request..."

"General Hubert, let me speak."

Hubert was interrupted by Elena just halfway through his words. She turned her eyes to the earth vein crystal in Lu Cheng's hand and asked.

"Lord Lu Cheng, does your country not have earth vein crystals?"

"We haven't found this kind of crystal before, what's wrong?"

Lu Cheng didn't think that such a magical crystal would appear on Earth, and this answer made Hubert and Elena look surprised.

"Sir Lu Cheng, the Earth Vein Crystal is as important to any country in this world as the life of the entire country."

Elena told Lu Cheng something that everyone in the world knew.
