Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 139
For the imperial wizards like Bavante, the explorers had already made plans.

After all, falling down in the same pit three times is unacceptable for a shelter where every resource is very precious.

The tactics used by Sir Bavant were not developed by Jiatu and the others alone, but came from the collective wisdom of the entire refuge.

"After figuring out the specific ability, Bavante is just a weakened version of Magneto...Since it can be explained by science, then there are engineers and scientists from the shelter behind us..."

Jiatu pondered silently, lowered the jet power of the exoskeleton thrusters, and descended vertically toward Sir Bavante in a nearly vertical fall.

Perhaps it was due to his ego, or perhaps due to the design limitations of the witchcraft itself, Bavante did not move at the high speed as before, so when he realized the sound above his head and suddenly realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Jiatu raised the large-caliber fishing net launcher that looked like a shotgun in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

The iron net made entirely of steel wire suddenly enveloped Bavante's body, startling him——

"What? Iron products?!"

The imperial wizard was surprised at first, and then showed strong disdain.

Because his witchcraft seal is an absolute high voltage that can penetrate even the air, and any metal product is a good conductor——

Those external horror brains seized from other door openers have already told him the relevant electrical knowledge!
So he raised his right hand in the fishing net—

The next second, the plasma in his hand hit the fishing net and spread out quickly——

Then it was transmitted upwards to Jiatu!

However, a series of blue electric lights erupted from the exoskeleton in the air, but it was not burned to charcoal or stopped operating as Bavante imagined——

Rather, it raised the submachine gun in the other hand, aimed at Bavante and pulled the trigger!

With the clear whistling sound, the metal bullet that would always be deflected by the electromagnetic shield hit his body as if he had entered an uninhabited land.

The bullet was wrapped in plasma, and splashed out from the back of the wizard's blue robe.

Bavante looked down at the chest that had been beaten into a sieve, and fell back in a daze.

.

"Bavante is dead."

Cavendish stroked the crystal ball in his hand, frowning as he watched the scene of Bavante's sudden death.

At this time, there were still more than ten seconds before Bavante was hit by a bullet.

But the moment the blue-robed wizard's body was hit by a fishing net, his lifeline was completely locked——

From the previous shaky, it became a sudden stop.

And such a prophesy sign just points to the greatest ominous——

That is, "death"!
"When Bavante ignored my persuasion and insisted on confronting the explorers head-on again, his end was already doomed."

The true love mage Lao Wujie of the Beloved Ministry listened to Cavendish's report with a strange smile.

He stretched casually in front of Shao Le Wuhua and Cavendish.

Wearing the black robe on him, he looked like a huge bat.

And in front of him, are all the elites of the Imperial Border Guards and the Department of True Love——

Those precious combat power above the upper silver rank.

There are more than 300 people, except for the senior officers of the Wuhua tribe and the wizards accompanying the army, they are the little guys from the Ministry of True Love——

Even ordinary black iron mid-level wizards can retreat with Lau Wu.

But neither Shao Le Wuhua nor Cavendish dared to say anything.

Because without Lau Wu's plan, they would not be able to fight against the defeated generals like Sir Bavant at this time.

"Don't despise those door openers just because they are few in number—if we want to pry the foundation of this world and take the 'God Crystal' as our own, then these door openers who claim to be neutral on the surface will definitely rush to fight us Desperately—”

"They don't care who the forest belongs to, they only care about the forest itself."

Lau Wu seemed to see through everything, looking in the direction of the cave camp——

"Under the limitation of the bottleneck of the demons, no matter how powerful the wizards of the empire are, they can't compete with the legion of door openers that are several times their own. The artillery and machinery in their hands have powerful technology far surpassing that of the empire. It is an empire that only focuses on the elven circuit irresistible."

"Can't we learn from those door openers and make those powerful war armors?"

Cavendish asked a little puzzled.

On an academic level, he may not be as good as the stubborn Bavante.

But as a wizard who also started as a commoner and climbed up to his current position step by step, he undoubtedly knows more about people and the world than Bavante.

However, Lau Wu did not answer directly.

His eyes swept across Cavendish with a half-smile:

"If you had to choose between 'betray the emperor' and 'subjugate the country', which would you choose?"

"Aren't these two the same?"

Cavendish said almost without thinking: "Of course I choose to die..."

Cavendish's voice stopped abruptly.

Cold sweat trickled down his spine.

He reconsidered his statement and said cautiously:

"Of course I choose 'loyalty to the emperor'."

"A smart guy."

Lau Wu nodded in satisfaction, and through the eyes of the mage, peeped at the dead body of Bavant:
"It's not that the Empire hasn't studied the technology of the door opener, and learned that the high-level people have even restored their heavy armor one by one."

"In fact, the reason why you and Bavante are so valued within the academy is because the subject you have been assigned is related to the technology of opening the door."

"Is the exterior scary..."

Cavendish nodded. Both he and Bavante belonged to a special organization called "Alien Technology Research Group".

The leader of the project is Earl Isaac, one of the twelve giants of the Wizarding Society.

Both he and Bavante are admirers of the Crowned wizard who has lived for more than 200 years.

As soon as Earl Isaac was recruiting members of the research team, he and Bavante, who were only in the upper silver class at the time, came here admiringly.

However, it wasn't until they entered the research team that they discovered that none of the members of the research team were descendants of noble wizards.

All of them were commoner wizards like him and Bavant.

Isaac hadn't taught them anything other than toss them three charred Exo-Brains and tell them to recover.

Only then did Cavendish realize that they had been "stocked".

"Although the technology of the door opener is precious, it is not enough for noble wizards to invest in it..."

Cavendish didn't know the empire's attitude towards them until this time.

As a wizard of the prophecy department, he played a huge role in restoring the data of the external horror brain.

Bavante, on the other hand, developed his talents in "electrical" materials.

Thanks to their research results, Earl Isaac soon announced that he had restored the complete armor of the other world one by one.

Therefore, Cavendish and Bavant are still witnesses to what Lau Wu said.

They were just conceited with the pride and glory of the empire, they never considered how much impact these things they studied would have on the empire——

"One piece of heavy armor can allow an ordinary person of the sword master level to challenge a named wizard of the same level head-on. What do you think will be the impact on the empire if this kind of thing is flooded?"

What Lauu didn't realize was that Cavendish had figured it all out in just a few words.

Still chattering and supporting this "smart" junior.

"Furthermore, the precise processing of this equipment is not something ordinary craftsmen can handle. If you want to mass-produce this kind of armor, you must recruit a large number of civilian wizards and let them do the lowest-level manufacturing work like craftsmen."

"You also know the empire's attitude towards ordinary craftsmen. Do you think that you are asked to take off this learning robe and go to the workshop to make imperial armor like an ordinary blacksmith—"

"Do you think you'll agree?"

"I……"

Cavendish hesitated for a moment. Almost at the moment of thinking, the excellent prophecy system's elven circuit had already turned his imagination into reality, running a circle in his mind.

After finishing the immersive thinking experience, Cavendish immediately shuddered:
"If I'm going to work like a blacksmith, you might as well kill me."

Lau Wu looked at him with some satisfaction and nodded: "Those craftsmen and wizards will think so too—"

"What if they happen to have the ability to make murder weapons at hand, and they can arm Juggernauts on a large scale to fight wizards?"

"...I see, Master Lauu."

Cavendish took a deep breath.

He gradually reacted.

As a person who is only one step away from becoming a hereditary nobleman of the empire, he certainly cannot empathize with those commoners——

Even back then, he was the same as those commoners, from an ordinary commoner merchant family.

But he's a wizard now!
Wizards of the Empire—

No, it's the wizard of the "Emperor"!

.

After persuading Cavendish to understand the painstaking efforts of the "emperor", Lauu left a wizard beacon on the spot, and then led the entire elite of the empire to retreat from the world of the wolf tribe.

Such tactics are already commonplace for an empire with teleportation channel spells and freedom of mobility.

After all, apart from those descendants of native wizards who ended up in the empire and the emperor, other low-level people who joined under the wizard's staff of the empire didn't deserve their attention at all.

That is to say, there are too few title-level senior officers like Shao Le Wuhua, otherwise they would also be included in Lao Wu's sacrifice list.

"Originally, this task was not given to him... It's a pity that the political consciousness of the Wuhua people is still too low. Even though they are loyal to the emperor, they still fight for this dangerous bloodline for the sake of a mere Nordwar family... They deserve it To lose the life of a nephew..."

Lao Wu was thinking silently, watching Shao Le Wuhua who had just lost many subordinates and nephews.

The silent man couldn't see any rebellious heart. Although he was desperate, he managed to cling to the emperor's thigh with great difficulty. He should not be allowed to make an inappropriate choice between his nephew and the entire Wuhua nation.

And this is also a sign of a person's political maturity——

Shao Le Wuhua obviously knew that he had become the spokesperson of the entire Wuhua nation.

His disobedience is the disobedience of the entire Wuhua nation, and the emperor and the Ministry of Justice will not let him go.

As for the notorious "Ministry of Beloved"...

It was just a small episode on General Shao Le's promotion path.

Lau Wu gathered the black robe on his body, and suddenly felt the benefits of anonymity.

"Jie Jie... You left the tree wolf world, even if you want to seek revenge from me, you will never find anyone again!"

Lau Wu smiled strangely, and stepped into the transmission channel leading to the empire.

.

Jiatu didn't know that the empire had already fully retreated.

There was only one Sir Bavant left, who, out of arrogance and dissatisfaction with Lauw's order to withdraw all, disobeyed alone and caught them off guard.

After eliminating Bavant, they waited in fear for several hours before confirming that there was no follow-up revenge and attack from the empire.

"After all, is it just a commoner's background...Even if he is an 'original titled wizard', it is still not enough for Lau Wu, the 'emperor's servant' of the Beloved Department, to launch a retaliatory attack?"

Because of the information of Nolan and the others, Jiatu and the others guessed the empire's intentions fairly accurately.

After the battle with Bavante was over, Jiatu and Lengdao were finally able to sit down and talk about the future cooperation.

As representatives of the refuge, Jiatu and Yinxian conveyed the meaning from Sun Simiao and Nolan to Leng Dao.

Although Leng Dao was a little surprised and angry, he finally accepted the cooperation with the shelter——

"Because our manpower is really stretched."

The straight-forward character of the wolf tribe made Leng Dao not conceal anything:
"Compared to the Empire, we are indeed more assured of cooperating with the Opener—after all, no matter how powerful your force is, you will not consider destroying our country and species."

"Is it impossible to immigrate..."

Jiatu nodded, not surprised.

Politics is the continuation of economy, and military is the continuation of politics. Just like Jiatu and the others would explain to the tree wolf tribe that they are just mercenaries, Leng Dao has gradually learned to start from the economic relationship between the two parties and consider them and the door opener. and relations between empires—

If it weren't for the inability to immigrate, both Lengdao and Jiatu would doubt without hesitation that the Sanctuary would become a more terrifying invader than the Empire——

At most, in terms of moral standards, it will be higher.

But who can be sure?
After all, there are black sheep like Xu Xiu in the refuge.

Jiatu felt that with the current relationship between the Sanctuary and the Timberwolves, it was good that there was no need to test the humanity of both parties.

"So are you going to take back all the five tree wolf villages?"

Looking at the map drawn by Leng Dao on the ground, Jiatu waved his hand and asked Wei Wei to bring over the topographic map inside the Opener.

Leng Dao glanced at the detailed map of the door openers in surprise, frowned, and said nothing.

But he continued:

"If you want to communicate with the Mother of Skyfire, you must go through Cang Jianmu—"

He raised his eyes and swept over Jiatu and the others:

"And it can't be just one person."

The voice of Leng Dao slowly echoed in the wolf fur tent of the tree wolf clan:
"Although there was only one legend back then, the five tree wolf clans all had their own version of the legend of the Rainbow Bridge, as well as their own chief priests and patriarchs... So I discussed with the high priest, and felt that it was very strange to see the Mother of Skyfire at that time. Probably not alone—"

"Instead, there is one in each clan!"

Jiatu was stunned.

The term Leng Dao is somewhat convoluted.But for those who understand "saturation rescue", it is not such a difficult concept to understand——

According to the legends back then, it was obvious that the White Wolf Clan was not the only one who encountered the tide of ghouls.

Therefore, when the entire Timberland world is in jeopardy, there is only one choice for everyone——

Since Bika's ancestors could choose to go to the Rainbow Bridge, then the tree wolf leaders of other clans can also go to the Rainbow Bridge to awaken the Mother of Skyfire.

It's hard to say who's efforts played a role in the end, but perhaps it was precisely because the five clans unanimously chose to awaken the Mother of Skyfire that this legend was passed down.

Therefore, in Leng Dao's pure brain, the conclusion drawn is also very simple——

"We want to reproduce the behavior of our ancestors."

Leng Dao's eyes swept over everyone:

"On all Cangjian trees, a ceremony to awaken the Mother of Skyfire is held!"

　Back home on Saturday!
