At that moment, Tesla suddenly accelerated his speed and pulled Dane across the porch quickly. The guards around him reacted, but by this time Tesla had already run out of the door with Dane.
But their reaction speed was also very fast, and they surrounded them directly. It took time for the airship to take off, so it was almost impossible for Tesla and Dane to escape at this moment.
But the next moment, he suddenly took out a cane-like thing from his body, which seemed to have been hidden under his coat.
He turned the head of the cane away, but inside it was not a slender cane sword, but a structure similar to a Tesla coil.
He calmly raised the cane in his hand. At that moment, a bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the cane. With the sound of the air being torn apart, the thunder and lightning split into tree-like spreads in the air.
The soldiers were struck by lightning and howled in pain, and some even froze on the spot and passed out on the ground.
The tip of the cane was black and smoking. Seeing this, Tesla directly pulled Dane onto the airship.
Under the influence of that powerful propulsion, the airship quickly took off.
They flew directly into the clouds and quickly moved away from the Summer Palace. After they were safe, Dane breathed a sigh of relief.
"The degree of infiltration of Tsarist Russia by Germany is much higher than I imagined." Tesla said with a solemn expression, "This Nicholas II is another Peter III, a traitor!"
"Do you see anything?" Dane said.
"That automatic machine was made by Germans," Tesla said. "There must be Germans behind us watching us. If we had walked a little slower, we probably wouldn't be able to walk now."
Dane's face was solemn, "Then what should we do now?"
"We can only find other allies." Tesla said solemnly, "Let's go to the Great Egyptian Empire."
"The Great Egyptian Empire?" Dane was a little confused. "Can a resource exporting country play a role?"
"But it is also the country closest to Serbia and capable of playing a role in this war. Although Beichen and Britannia are powerful, they are far from quenching their thirst, and"
Tesla's voice was low, "Don't underestimate this country. When this country was first established, no one thought it could last long, but unexpectedly, it has already existed in the world for more than a hundred years.
No one knows who the current pharaoh of the Great Egyptian Empire is, and no one has ever seen him.
According to legend, the current Great Egyptian Empire is still ruled by the pharaoh named Ramses II. "
Dane opened his eyes slightly, "Then isn't he already over a hundred years old?"
"It is a mysterious and ancient land." Tesla said calmly. "It is very closed. No one knows the real situation inside. There should be some unknown secrets in it."
Dane didn't speak, but soon, a familiar buzzing sound coming from one side made his expression change slightly.
The windshield he put on stuck out of the porthole. In the clouds in the distance, several rotorcraft flew towards this side and even opened fire on them.
A bullet grazed his scalp and almost hit his head. After walking past the gate of hell, Dane pulled his head back in panic.
Tesla also saw those planes, and the radio communication on the control panel in front of him also made a hissing sound. Soon, a sound came from inside.
"Unknown model of airship, you have violated the airspace of the Russian Empire. Please identify yourself immediately and dock the airship to the port, otherwise we will launch an attack."
Didn't you already fire, Dane complained.
Tesla did not answer, but directly turned off the radio and pushed the lever to the end. The airship's thruster suddenly lit up with a blue macro light, and the airship accelerated forward for a certain distance. They all felt a push on their backs.
The cold wind blowing through the airboat was mingled with an unfamiliar sound. It was a unique roar, like the sound of an engine, but soon, he saw a winged thing approaching in the distance, almost as fast as the airship.
There were roaring engines on each wing, and two plumes of thick black smoke were withdrawn. The machine gun at the front of the plane was pouring flames wildly, and some bullets even penetrated the cabin and shot in.
Tesla was very calm and pulled the pushrod directly. Dane heard the power engine changing its pitch, and the whole world seemed to tilt.
A strong pushing feeling pushed his whole body back a certain distance and hit him hard in the cabin. They quickly fell down from the clouds and threw away the planes.
However, the engine sound inside the airship became louder and louder, and finally.
"boom!"
Dane heard a crackling sound and black smoke billowing from the rear end of the airship.
Fortunately, the structure of the airship itself has a gliding function, and unlike an airplane, losing its engine will only result in a crash. Tesla controlled the airship and slowly landed in the forest on the edge of the city.
When the airship made contact with the ground, Dane felt a heavy impact that made him dizzy.
The airship slid forward for a distance, but was successfully stopped by Tesla.
He quickly pulled Dane out of the airship, and then took many branches with many leaves from around to cover the airship. Dane reacted and quickly helped to cover the airship.
Then, they followed Tesla to the city on one side, and they moved very quickly.
"What do we do now?" Dane asked.
"We have no shortage of diesel, but the engine is broken. We just need some materials and tools." He replied.
They are still Moscow in Tsarist Russia, the second largest city after St. Petersburg. Tesla deliberately landed here when it made an emergency landing.
Because he had been here before and knew where to buy what they wanted.
They entered the great market of the city.
It was really a gas-lit maze, lined with shops under high ceilings. Vendors loudly hawked lamps, sheets, tarpaulins, candies, and machine parts in many languages, but all were familiar.
The mechanical structure passed through the crowd, chestnuts and meat skewers roasting on the steaming engine - it seemed to be a mobile food truck.
The machinery parts store is located at the end of the market. Looking through the wide open door, the room is cool, quiet and dark.
"What's up?"
A voice asked in the shadow. After his eyes adjusted to the light in the room, Dane saw the workbench filled with gears and springs, and found a man staring at them.
Larger machines were piled against the wall - axles and pistons everywhere, and a complete engine in the shadows.
"Buy some accessories," Tesla said.
The man looked them up and down and said, "The things I have here are not cheap."
"These are enough." Tesla dropped a money bag on the workbench. The money bag hit the wood with a muffled sound, filled with gold coins.
The man raised his eyebrows and nodded.
The Tesla card begins listing the gear, spark plugs, and electrical accessories needed. The shopkeeper asked a few questions from time to time, but his eyes never left the money bag.
Dane listened to their conversation and noticed that his father had changed his accent. He usually speaks quickly but with clear pronunciation, but now he looks completely like a Tsarist Russian.
At this time, Dane noticed some people in military uniforms running past the streets. They were going door to door holding a photo and asking about something.
From this angle, you can clearly see that it is his father Tesla in the photo.
He glanced at the shop owner and found that he was also looking at the soldier across the street with the same gaze. It seemed that he also noticed the photo.
The store immediately fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Tesla took a step forward and dropped a gold coin in his hand on the table.
"You haven't seen us."
Then he pulled Dane away from the small door on one side.
This alley is like a miniature version of a large market. The streets are lined with stalls the size of wardrobes and small tables piled with candies, meats, and big ribs. The two people quickly pass through the alley, attracting passers-by to look back.
Dane heard some sounds of guns and belts clashing while running. Behind them, a soldier ran out, followed by a burst of gunfire, and a few sparks flew from the stone wall next to them.
The crowd around him became commotion, and another bullet grazed Dane's side. There was no doubt that this group of people was aiming for their lives.
Tesla took Dane and turned into a fork in the road between two buildings. The alley was very narrow, but there was no one there. Their boots splashed in the puddle in the middle of the alley.
The alley neither led to the big market nor to the street - the alley was like a ring connected end to end, with pipes and wiring ducts everywhere. The sky became darker and darker, and after a while, they lost their way.
But they could still hear the footsteps of people around them.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they were about to meet them.
Despair gradually enveloped their hearts.
However, when they walked through an alley corner, they were surprised to find a store.
To be precise, a tavern.
Hanging on the door handle of the door: [Opening]
Through the glass of the door, it can be seen clearly that there seems to be no one inside. The store door above reads:
[Merlin Tavern] These words.
Who would open a tavern in a deserted place like this?
Dane turned his head to look at his father, who was standing there in a daze, looking at the tavern absentmindedly.
It was difficult for him to describe the emotion in his father's eyes.
Frightened?
It seemed a little bit, but not to the point of fear, but it seemed more surprising.
But even so, Tesla still pulled him open the door of the tavern.
"Dingling~"
"welcome."
Hearing the familiar voice, Tesla's heart rippled slightly.
Not only the sound, but even the premise of entering this tavern is the same, and they are also chased into the alley.
But the difference is that at that time, I was in Croatia, but now, I am thousands of miles away in Moscow.
However, both the door and the layout of this tavern were exactly the same as the tavern he entered in Croatia.
Mr. Merlin, whom he had met decades ago, was standing behind the bar, swinging the shaker with graceful movements and making cocktails with two glasses in front of him.
It seems that it is prepared for them. (End of chapter)
