For Gao Wen, the most terrifying situation was standing on the dark mountain and looking south, but he couldn't see the shimmering barrier.
For the mainland countries in this era, that is the end of civilization.
But the barrier at the end of the horizon still exists. In the chaotic background of the corrupted land, it stands like a wall of light between the sky and the earth. Although it has stood there for seven hundred years, many functions are probably in the Decline, but as long as that light lasts for a day, the world is still safe.
"That's the magnificent wall..." Hetty's tone was full of disbelief and exclamation, "I've only seen it in books..."
"Hundreds of years ago, people on the frontier were no strangers to that wall, but in the past few hundred years, the territory of civilization has retreated again and again, even retreating to the north of the Baishui River," Gao Wen sighed and shook his head, " The tide of magic is receding, and you are also retreating, which is really ironic."
Hetty's face suddenly felt a little ashamed, but what could she do? The great-grandfather who was brave enough to risk his life a hundred years ago and who was extremely talented in the cause of rebellion was too capable of tossing around. He destroyed the whole south by himself. Jiye, who dares to carry this pot...
"Okay, okay, the wall is still there, which means that the sentinel tower has 'healed itself', right?" Although Amber was also amazed at the magnificent wall, looking at the rotten land in the south, she really couldn't help it. I didn't want to stay for a minute longer, "So those mutants won't have any reinforcements, so let's go back quickly, go back and think about how to deal with those monsters!"
Gawain nodded slightly, turned around and jumped off the boulder, and said casually, "I already have a general plan."
Amber hurriedly followed, while running behind Gawain, Barabara: "What plan, what plan? Are you really planning to kill more than 900 in one war charge? I'm kidding you... Is it possible that you are really so Amazing?"
Gao Wenxin said that Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago might really be able to pierce that wave of monsters with a war charge, but if he wants to do this today, he can only spiral into the sky and die again. The plan he said is not his own The man rushed in and opened Wushuang: "I just roughly calculated the route in the mountain and the speed of movement of those monsters. They haven't sensed the existence of the camp yet, so their moving speed is slow. If they continue to go north at this speed, at least It will be two days before there is a threat to the camp, so we have two days to set it up."
Amber scratched her hair: "What is the arrangement?"
"Blow down the entire cliff on the north side of the mountain on the west side of the camp," Gawain said, flipping through the map in his mind, "the rock formation there is not stable, and some areas have been cracked, and the road below the mountain wall... is on those In the direction of the distortion body."
Amber was stunned for a moment, Gawain's plan that was so bold that it was almost crazy (in her opinion) was completely beyond her expectations.
In her mind, she conceived countless scenes of setting up defense lines outside the camp, fighting bravely, and resisting in a roundabout way. She almost moved herself, but she didn't expect Gao Wen to come up with such an unusual plan...
And then, she doubted the feasibility of this plan: "Can you really do it? Blow up the mountain! How is it possible!"
Gao Wen glanced at Amber: "It's not blowing down the mountain, but blowing down a part of the rock formation. Believe me, I have observed the situation there. It is very easy, and we have enough things to blow it up."
Amber blinked her eyes, and suddenly realized what Gao Wen was referring to: "You mean... those fake crystals that your No. 2 granddaughter tossed out?"
This guy is getting better and better at casually calling other people or things by nicknames.
"It's those crystals, they're called 'Rebecca Crystals', they have a name," Gawain nodded, "because the raw material is rocks from the mountains, and after the confession, even serfs can complete the smelting operation, so those things A whole bunch has been produced, and it just so happens to come in handy."
Amber still wanted to mutter, but Gao Wen had already walked to the front, and he only threw a sentence from a distance: "The details will be discussed after returning to the camp. Those monsters will not stop and wait for us."
Amber raised her eyes to see Gawain and Hetty walking swiftly on the rugged mountain road, and jumped behind her anxiously: "Hey! Hey! You two wait for me! Hey, Gawain, you're just a knight with good physical strength. Hetty, how can you, a mage, run so fast in the mountains!"
Heidi heard Amber's voice, but she just smiled and shook her head without answering.
How do outsiders know that the rules of the Cecil family have been handed down since ancient times? Regardless of male or female, regardless of talent, it is standard for the heirs of the family to go to the forest to kill a wolf with bare hands before they reach adulthood... Back then, Rebecca was knocked unconscious by wolves three times before passing the test, but Hetty But one pass!
After returning to the camp, Gawain immediately called Rebecca, Byron, and Philip to his tent, and the druid Pittman also came in uninvited after hearing the news. .
Considering that there are many things that cannot be hidden, and that if he really needs to fight those monsters head-on, the healing spell of the half-barrel druid will also be an indispensable help, so he didn't drive the little old man out.
"There are more aberrations, nearly a thousand in number, in the mountains," Gawain said bluntly after everyone arrived, "moving this way."
Everyone was shocked by the news, but Pittman was the first to react. The old druid flicked his robe and said righteously: "I don't want this month's salary."
"Stop, why do you have the same reaction as Amber?" Gao Wen stared at the little old man, "Wait for me to finish speaking first, and it won't be too late for you to express your opinion after I finish the arrangements here."
"Your Excellency," Knight Byron said, "there are less than a hundred people in the camp who are ready to fight, and this includes the dozens of militiamen who have just been trained. After the formal soldiers and militiamen are equipped with those enchanted weapons and armor Maybe we can fight head-on with the aberrants, but it's barely a one-to-one match... "
"I know," Gawain raised his hand to interrupt Byron, "so I don't intend to fight those monsters directly."
Rebecca's eyes widened: "Could it be... to give up the camp?"
She pursed her lips, obviously she didn't want to hear this answer: Although this is a barren place in the wilderness, this is the last place of the Cecil family, and this is also her new home. Both the kiln and the iron and steel plant powered by Magic Net One are her painstaking efforts: this is the first time in her life where she can happily do what she likes to do, no matter what, she doesn't want to give up here.
But if Gao Wen really decides to evacuate... she is also ready to obey.
"No, we don't need to withdraw, at least we don't have to make a decision in such a hurry," Gawain shook his head, "It will take two days for those monsters to move to a position where they can perceive the existence of the camp, and then it will take at least one day for them to rush over, so we have at most three Days to prepare. I have a plan, but it will require a lot of 'Rebecca crystals'…”
Gao Wen expressed his bold idea, and specially emphasized the feasibility of this plan.
Knight Byron and Knight Philip looked at each other. As two traditional martial arts professionals, they didn't pay much attention to the "inventions" created by Gawain and Rebecca, and they couldn't imagine how big the crystals that could cause explosions were. Pittman is even more confused: these days, he is either preparing alchemy potions in his own room, or wandering around selling useless ointments to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. He doesn’t even know What is "Rebecca Crystal"…
But Rebecca's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "That's right! Those crystals are fine!"
The Rebecca crystal is an invention she is proud of. These days, as long as she has time, she is testing the properties of those crystals and the power of detonation. A door to a new world was opened, which made the little girl very excited: "Listen to me, the plan that the ancestors said is completely feasible! I know how powerful those crystals are when they explode, and the more they are, the more powerful they will be. The ground is going up! If they are stuffed into the cracks in the rock, the detonation circle will be carved on the rock... It will be no problem to blow up a whole rock wall!"
The eyes of the two knights at the scene finally brightened up, but Knight Byron was still a little worried: "But can this really kill those monsters? Their vitality is very tenacious..."
"You have also fought them head-on, and you should know that those aberrants are not invulnerable," Gao Wen smiled, "and the aberrants within the range of the magic tide and the aberrants wandering away from the team are completely two concepts, lost With the addition of chaotic magic power, they are more than a little bit fragile. According to my observation, the magic wave breath produced by the group of mutants in the mountain is far weaker than the pollution of Cecil Territory that day."
"That would be great," Knight Byron nodded repeatedly, "but what if the landslide doesn't finish them all?"
"I didn't expect to be able to bury them all in the first collapse. It would be the best result if more than half of them were resolved in the first collapse," Gao Wen said with a smile. 'Let's reduce their number step by step. From the mountain pass in the southwest corner to the camp, we have a buffer zone to deal with them. The open space and fence in front of the camp are the last line of defense, but I suspect that those monsters may not be able to walk this distance at all. "
As he said that, he looked up at Rebecca: "I asked you to combine the rune trigger and the trap, it should be done already?"
"Of course, that thing is simple. The simplest rune trigger can be done with a few stacked stone pieces. Anyway, as long as the rune can be pressed into the detonation circle," Rebecca looked very special. Happy, "Besides, after you left just now, I sent a few more people to the kiln. At this time, another batch of crystals should be burned out. Now that the Magic Net No. 1 has started operation, put those crystals on the Magic Net No. 1." Near the recharging point, a lot of crystals can be filled in a short time. I sent people to transport all the crystals in reserve to the compound of the steel factory, and the recharging can be completed by tonight at the latest... "
Looking at Rebecca's excited face, Gawain felt from the bottom of his heart that he had found a treasure.
This girl... is a talent.
