"Okay." The tall man was standing in the middle of the forest, inserting the last metal pole into the soil. Then he raised his head and stared into the depths of the distant sea of trees.
Under the moonlight, the man's dark skin seemed to be coated with a layer of clear light. His thick lips were tightly pursed, and the edges of his mouth were slightly bulging. It appeared that his angular face had strong Latino features.
Valeria was also looking in this direction. At this moment, she was extending her right hand forward, with light shining on her slender fingertips.
It is a line of ether, as if connected to a silver network. Every node on the network, the goblin doll, the clockwork goblin and the last nightmare furnace creature, each use their mechanical and cold... Pupils watch the world.
That world is reflected in the former's eyes.
She was looking at their leader, the Falcon of the Red Sea, Tania's resolute face through that changeable, complex, and different-dimensional perspective.
"But why didn't we take action earlier," she asked suddenly. "Perhaps the main group of the Kaolin people has arrived. They are nearby and will join the ancient tower people at any time. That Dragon Alchemist, even the Empire It’s an existence that everyone is very afraid of, isn’t it?”
The people who come from the turbulent outer sea have some wildness and fierceness that are beyond civilization. Although the chosen ones are not the original residents, they have also been infected with this kind of mentality like the locals during their studies and adventures. Traits.
He also inherited that perseverance and unruly will.
In their opinion, their cooperation with the Empire does not mean crawling at the feet of the Empire.
But now they want to defeat the Guta people, it is more or less for themselves - not for the alliance or the mission. Because the proverb in the Red Sea often says, 'When craftsmen compete, they must distinguish themselves from each other——'
Frankly speaking, Valeria didn't look down on the Guta people.
Those mountain people who were said to be rebellious have become as docile as sheep and are attached to the kingdom of the Kaolin people. The people of the outer sea value the independent relationship between themselves and the mainstream civilization, so they naturally spurn those qualities that are contrary to it.
Even the selectors who brought them were full of contempt for the players from those areas.
Although the Guta people had caused a big loss to the Shojin Blade before, that was because she and Tania were away.
Valeria's real concern was with the Cowlings.
"They came just in time," Tania said with a calm brilliance in her brown eyes, "Are our goals really the Guta people? Not allowing them to make peace with the Kaolin people is detrimental to the entire plan. There are advantages, but it is not necessarily impossible for the Kaolin people to make peace with them. The significance of taking the initiative is that even the worse choice is acceptable to us. The Imperials are still moving forward, and they are here, We’ve won so much already.”
"That's true," Valeria was still a little reluctant, "But in this case, we won't become the foil of the imperial people?"
"We are what we are," Tanya added as the girl's face became less attractive. "As a group, do you think the Taxin Singers are comparable to the Imperial Workshop?"
Valeria sat back. No matter how unruly she was, she had to admit the difference. These words gave her a little bit of leeway - at least this was a team competition - she could still compete in the competition. He comforted himself in his heart.
But Valeria also knew in her heart that she was no match for the Imperial Gemini or even the geniuses below.
"The Guta people may have realized something. They are a bit bent on death." Tania looked at the darkness in the forest and shook her head. "But what if the Kaolin people also realized it? The first hand has been lost. Under the circumstances, even the worst result is acceptable to us."
On the main stage, Jellos was pretty much repeating the same thing.
“Seriously, man,” he was talking to his partner in a low voice, but actually explaining the situation to the audience, “things are not going well with the Corinthians.”
"I think so too," the young partner frowned and nodded. The previous competition made him very optimistic about the Kaolin people - they have professional judging eyes, but who doesn't like exciting competitions?
The Imperial people's plan is certainly amazing, but the Kaolin people's ability to overcome ingenuity with skill and skill, as well as their understanding of magic skills, are actually more suitable to be displayed in this competition.
As a fan of the Craftsman Competition, it is difficult for him not to appreciate this spirit, and he would even prefer the wonderful performance brought by the Kaolin people in his heart. Just as a commentator, he must remain impartial:
"Unlike us," he analyzed, "the Kaolin people cannot see the form in the sea of trees, and it is not clear whether the delegation of Grande craftsmen has guessed the imperial people's intentions, but the encirclement is closing, not to mention That’s not the root of the problem.”
"The root of the problem lies in the progress," Jerros hit the nail on the head, "After Han Ruina successfully attacked Mirra Palace, the Lotao people's progress lagged far behind. They were originally the team most promising to hold back the Imperial Workshop. "
"At this moment, thanks to the precise planning since the beginning, the Imperial people have a smooth road in front of them. They are launching an attack on the wall of darkness. After passing the core area, who can stop them from entering the three main towers? ?”
"Although it's not clear whether the Imperials have a way to enter the main tower," Jerros added, "but looking at how confident they are, saying that they have no plans for the main tower, are they worthy of such a sophisticated plan?"
"This is how the Imperial people win," he thought for a moment and felt that he could come to a conclusion. "Their tactics are actually a simple attack on the enemy, after holding back the hands and feet of the Kaolin and Lotao people. , winning the game in one go with its absolute advantage.”
The young partner let out a sigh, and felt that the Empire had already won. He glanced at the flashing dot on the map representing the Kaolin people with some pity - in fact, in his opinion, the two teams were not very different. Not as many as people think.
But one step first, every step first, the competition in the sea of trees is so realistic.
However, the imperial people's plan did deserve a word of praise, and even he couldn't help but praise: "But such a plan is actually based on absolute confidence in oneself. Not just anyone can hold back the Kaolin and Lotao people. For the home team, if this strategy really worked so well, then we wouldn’t be seeing it played out just now.”
"Yes," Jerros agreed with this and nodded: "The key is that this imperial delegation is strong enough, even so strong that it does not need to rely on too many foreign objects obtained from the previous area. They are confident that they can win the core area. If they don't share the benefits gained from their previous leading progress, Silver Chain Island, Taxin Singers and Shojin Blade will not only entangle the Kaolin and Lotao people, Even against the ancient pagoda people, there is no chance of winning."
"But it is precisely because they have faithfully fulfilled their agreement and greatly increased the value of the remaining overseas teams that they can take the lead in this game and implement the plan to this day." Jellos did not hesitate to praise him. , "It is also for the same reason that the teams in the outer sea will strengthen their alliance with the imperial people. Because they have truly benefited from it."
"In this way," the young partner nodded lightly, "the rules make sense. This is a wonderful plan, not a malicious attempt to exclude opponents. It is basically in line with the principles of the Craftsman Competition."
Neither of them disputed this.
The referee did not express any objection.
The buzzing discussion on the field even reached Ma'er's live broadcast room, and the barrage became intense. A few viewers in the third division were also discussing this rule:
"Ma, is what you said about the main stage true?"
"Eighty or nine points, but after all, this is a competition held in the Empire, and the referee team will be more or less biased towards the host country. But from the rules, there is really no fault, and the rest are just subjective judgments. "
"But isn't that unfair?"
"It's not unfair," said the barrage, although the discussion was very intense, but there were still objective remarks, "The main stage has been analyzed thoroughly. In the final analysis, the level of the Imperial people is still there. If you can even compare the previous few The benefits of the district are completely discarded, and under such circumstances, you can still dominate other teams. Doesn’t this itself also show your strength?”
"That's not necessarily true," a voice questioned. "If we face each other head-on, I don't think we will necessarily lose. It's not like you haven't seen Ed's main structure. Could it be that the Empire can beat it?"
"But there is no point in saying this. The Imperials have already entered the core area. If we give up the Guta people to stop them, then after the other two teams withdraw, the situation will be as hopeless, and it will even affect the next few games."
"But if Guta and the Kapka Craftsmen Association are to be protected, then the Empire is destined to win this round smoothly. Is there any other way to have both sides?"
"Unless the troops are divided into two groups, but how is that possible? To stop the Imperial people, I think we must at least let the 'Valkyrie' take action, but you have also seen those dark constructs of the Empire. If the 'Valkyrie' does not stay, Can the Guta people be saved?"
"Is it possible that the Guta people can break through on their own?"
But even with the most optimistic judgment, no one thinks that this possibility can come true.
In fact, the people of Guta are in the midst of a bitter battle. Even the wandering horses couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at the scene in the picture——
The trump card of the Guta people, apart from Vikki, is the talented plug-in craftsman in their group, the young man known as 'Zheng Yongzai'. But when they chose the topic in Area D, this insurance was actually exposed.
It cannot be said that this insurance has not played a role in the previous fierce battle, but it will also make other competitors compete to take precautions, but when he saw the Taxin Singers consciously retreating into the D area and launching a defensive line——
Wandering Ma'er has actually realized that if the Guta people still want to count on their talented plug-in craftsman, they are afraid that the facts will disappoint them.
His eyes fell right in front of the craftsmen of the Tahin Singer, the tall device standing in the forest.
The Magic Craftsmen are actually the oldest sect of alchemists.
In the most ancient times, the technical routes of alchemy were not as rigorous as they are today. At that time, even the production of magic furnaces was classified under the category of magic. In other words, all skills related to magic in the early days can be included in this school. At that time, magic craftsmen were not called magic craftsmen, but were called generalist craftsmen.
Making magic tools is an overall summary of mortal magic skills and all subsequent derivative technologies that were born out of the first magic furnace.
Flexible structures are magic creations, and plug-ins and crystals are naturally the same. Although after that, various types of craftsmen were subdivided into the ranks of magic craftsmen. In 342, crystal craftsmen were born, and twenty years later, craftsmen across the continent The association has set standards for combat craftsmen, but to this day, magic craftsmen are still called the most comprehensive craftsmen.
"Although magic devices have been subdivided to this level today, they still include a number of large and small magic devices, ranging from farm implements, tools, and even toys, to as large as those in the magnificent cities of the world of Aitaria. Infrastructure, factory equipment, even agricultural machinery, delivery vehicles and platforms can be seen everywhere..."
"As well as the swords, armor, staffs and even volumes in the hands of adventurers, magic artifacts, magic guns, and even the giant cannons in the fortress, magic tools almost cover the magic that people in this world see. All aspects of the craft of directing.”
Jellos also stared at the tall device and recounted the origins of this ancient profession in a calm tone, as if recounting it from history to the present day, displaying the dusty past in front of the audience.
"Some of today's magic craftsmen are participants in production and maintainers. Alchemy craftsmen can be seen everywhere. They are the largest group among alchemists."
"The other part of them are war tool craftsmen, and these two groups are the most uneven among all craftsmen categories. The largest number of them are apprentices and industrial workers, and most of them are below the tenth level and the third level. Silver Star, but they are the most indispensable group of people for the huge alchemy production system in this world."
"And among these people, there are also geniuses, great masters, and legendary names that are famous in ancient and modern times. The magic tools born through their hands are countless in the history of this world. So people often ask, What exactly are magic craftsmen good at? This question is hard to answer—"
Jellos paused for a moment.
But that question is not without an answer.
From history to today, one can still say that magic craftsmen are good at making all equipment. And those equipment naturally include war facilities.
Mortal alchemists were born in war, and that is the subject they are best at.
The first question in Area F comes from this.
A bright and dazzling light spot was shining in the forest. A shell roared through the forest. It hit several towering ancient trees one after another, breaking them off. Finally, when the fuse was fired, everything around it was lit up in a strong flash of light. It turns into powder.
The shock wave of the explosion swept forward along the rushing flames, engulfing an entire column of fortress-like walkers. The flash of magic penetrated the crystal center of the machine, and the tall structure fell apart amidst the crisp sound. Flying parts.
Zheng Yongzai raised his hand and used his magic gloves to block several flying screws, which made a clanging sound. He turned around and looked in that direction with an unbelievable look through the thick lenses of his glasses.
"Magic Cannon!"
Another craftsman in the same group exclaimed.
"Concentrate and look ahead," Vikki wished he could push away his companion who was supporting him and get in on his own. She gritted her teeth unyieldingly, holding back all her stubborn energy and said angrily: "Among the Taxin Singers there are craftsmen who are good at large-scale magic devices, and that is their leader, Tanya the Red Sea Falcon - this Why are you acting so surprised if this isn’t something that everyone already knows?”
"You should have known the level of your opponents. Why are you trying to confuse me now?" Vikki said without mercy. "They are not from Rotao, what? Without me, you are not even as good as the teams outside the sea." ?”
"But those machines..."
The people of Guta looked at the Nightmare Furnace constructs pouring out of the forest with some helplessness. It was not that they had nothing to do with these constructs. In fact, walkers of K-2 model and above still had an advantage against the Nightmare Furnace constructs. .
But there are too many opponents, which continuously affects their energy, making it difficult for them to break through.
Vikki looked at the boy with glasses on the side.
"Sister Vikki, the role of plug-ins in Area F is not as obvious as that in Area D," Zheng Yongzai replied weakly, but he glanced ahead and realized that it would be difficult for them to have a chance to break out if they were so consumed. Neng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it a try."
"You must succeed, Zheng Yongzai, we must succeed," Vikki stared at him and said every word. She really broke away from the person who was holding her, clutched the wound on her lower abdomen and staggered forward. "Don't you still know their intentions?"
The intention of the people of the Red Sea is to hold them back.
Holding them back held back the Corinthians.
The Guta people have never been at odds with the Kaolin people.
But in this common arena, they are still comrades fighting side by side.
What Vikki secretly hated was that the guy didn't listen at all. Could it be that those stupid Kaolin people still couldn't see the situation clearly? They turned around and gave wings to the Imperials. So what if they could save them?
This is not a life and death battlefield.
This is a game.
It was obvious that only by stopping the Imperial people would they have a chance of victory.
But those hateful, short-sighted Kaolin people, did they come back to save them to show their generosity? The little girl gritted her teeth. She didn't need such mercy in comparison.
She just wants to win.
But there is only one way to win, either they break out on their own, or they retreat here, letting the Kaolin people wake up and immediately go back to find the Imperial people. Only in that case will they have a chance of victory.
So now that the decision has been made, all that remains is the issue of execution. Let her be the first example of how the Guta people should exit.
She raised her hand.
A blue light bloomed from the information crystal on her chest. It outlined a behemoth in the forest like a scan - it was a towering construct, with two legs standing upright, and two arms inserted like blades. In the soil, it supports its triangular-shaped upper body.
A shell passed over the Ghoutans.
The strong wind lifted the girl's hair, but she could not look away - the light of the magic cannon hit the temporary shield of the ancient pagoda delegation, blooming with a dazzling flash, which was reflected in everyone's pupils. among.
It was quiet for a while.
The roaring sound penetrated the eardrums, drowning out all the remaining sounds in the forest.
A craftsman next to Zheng Yong opened and closed his mouth as if he was saying something, but Vikki was not moved at all.
"X-1, Stalker," the wandering horse whispered the name, "The main structure is also the main structure... but it is not complete, everyone..." Then he remembered the words in his live broadcast room. audience.
Wandering Horse explained: "This is actually an early model of the main structure. Have you ever seen the Empire's Wind Knight? This one is very similar to that."
"The Stalker series is a famous product of the Kingfisher Workshop in the early years. It uses copper plating technology and solid alloy to form its body. Its prototype was produced in the 334th year of the history of Aitaria. The creator was Emily. ·Wagner."
The great female craftsman who single-handedly created the glorious history of Kingfisher Workshop.
"It was originally born to match the early model of the Imperial Wind Knight," Wandering Ma said about the information on the construct. "Later, this series developed into a familiar series of constructs. originator."
"That is, the main structure——"
"It can be said to be one of the only ways for craftsmen to lead to the main structure." Wandering Ma couldn't help but pause slightly when he said this, thinking that there seemed to be someone who was not like this, but out of instinct, he continued: "Those pseudo-dragon knights who failed to become main structure pilots eventually became the pilots of wind knights or stalkers without exception."
"The Hunting Knights of the Kaolin Kingdom and the Silver Wind Knights of the Empire came from this."
"But..." He paused, "We all know that Vikki is a craftsman who is good at constructs, but construct craftsmen can also be subdivided. This is the first time I know that she is the main construct craftsman... This is really What a coincidence..."
The Guta people hide very deep.
he thought.
But it's a pity that she was born at the wrong time. If she hadn't been on such a battlefield, this girl would definitely have left a deep impression on everyone, and she might not even have stunned the whole game.
But who would have thought that so many things would happen in the sea of trees this year?
In the picture, Zheng Yongzai finally completed his preparations. After calmly installing the plug-in, he threw the three Lurker Ts-1 far away. This is another genius belonging to the Guta people. Only then did people realize that the other party moved so fast.
When the Rotao people installed similar plug-ins just now, they did not achieve this efficiency.
The boy wearing glasses had completely calmed down. He looked at the goblin craftsman not far away. Several goblin dolls had already flown into the air. Although one of them was immediately attacked, a beam of light penetrated the goblin doll. Doll, knock it down.
But more silver threads are generated on the battlefield.
Those Ts-1 have already rushed towards the direction of the Taxin Singers.
"They are coming," Valeria saw this scene clearly through the clockwork goblin's vision from a distance. She turned around and asked the plug-in craftsman in the team: "Can you stop him?"
The craftsman looked at this scene and shook his head.
Valeria's eyes flashed with a look of certainty, and she didn't say much, just turned around.
Ts-1 had already rushed into the array of Nightmare Furnace structures, and then it suddenly sank down. An invisible ripple immediately spread in all directions, and almost every Nightmare Furnace structure it passed was covered in Jump out with bright sparks of magic.
Then he became paralyzed.
Large tracts of the Nightmare Furnace structure were turned into scrap metal.
Tania was shouting to her colleagues: "Get the magic cannon ready!"
But at that moment, Vikki gritted her teeth and boarded the X-1 Stalker. She got into it, and then pulled back the rear hatch - the next moment, the visual device of the tall construct immediately lit up. .
A flash of red light.
"Sister Vikki, can she still hold on?" The other craftsmen couldn't help but asked Zheng Yongzai next to them worriedly, but the young man wearing glasses just stared at this scene - just now, Vikki had already passed the private channel Command was transferred to him.
"Now, there are people in this group who are more qualified than you for this position."
Vikki's voice was cold, "But in the future, no one is more qualified than you. It's up to you to think about how to make the next decision."
The tall structure stood up.
There was a flash of light in the distance.
The magic cannon's light shot straight through, but Vikki raised his hand, and the tall structure also raised its hand. Four diamond-shaped square cones flew up from its body, and a light curtain dropped from mid-air.
The magic cannon's shell hit the light curtain and exploded into pieces of fireworks.
blocked?
All the barrages in Ma'er's live broadcast room came to a standstill. At that moment, people couldn't help but have an incredible and bold idea - can the people of Guta really turn the tide on their own?
But only the wandering horse frowned, staring at the densely packed black shadows on the overlooking map like a tide. The tide did not rush forward, but retreated.
What are they waiting for?
Are you waiting for the people from Guta to come forward?
…
I'm back! Will update early tomorrow!
