My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 285 Why are you looking at me?

The airship floats in the blue sky, getting closer and closer to its destination.

Crown stood in front of the picture window and looked far into the distance. At this moment, he could already see the outline of the cultist base.

Without any equipment, when he releases his super vision, his detection range is comparable to that of a falcon.

In a world covered in silver, that scarlet area is so conspicuous.

The airship continued to move forward, and after a while, Crown was able to see clearly the tall towers inside through the light shield.

Flanders put down the telescope and said with some confusion:

"That red mask should be regarded as a kind of magic circle. It stands to reason that a temporary territory is not worth spending such a high price to build a magic circle."

Cavendi said: "Could it be that the cultists are building a permanent city to serve as a bridgehead for the attack? This place is very close to the flat mountainous area outside. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating."

Crown smiled and said: "If this is the case, the enemy has miscalculated. We are a team with air units."

In the Holy War that took place in the last era, humans did not have the current technology. The tools used were still crude bows and arrows, swords, spears and other weapons, and the smelting skills were also much worse.

Without the Evil God's BUG-level pollution ability, human troops should have an advantage when facing the Evil God's Familia.

According to the experience of earth civilization, war is the best catalyst for technology.

He thought for a while and continued: "The popularization of education allows these ordinary people to play a huge role in the war. I think it is necessary to compile more professional teaching materials in order to liberate people's productivity."

Factories need more skilled workers. If the education level of workers is too low, it will affect production efficiency.

Unless the war enters the stage of street fighting, the battle will still be about logistics and foundation.

No matter how powerful the extraordinary beings are, without the weapons at their disposal, they will still be defeated against ordinary troops with artillery and firearms.

Flanders shook his head slightly: "When the evil god comes to the material world, ordinary people can only hide in the Sanctuary area and tremble. This is the revelation brought to us by the last holy war.

This is the reason why I was not optimistic about ordinary man-made artifacts before. At the last moment, the competition was still between high-level transcendent beings, gods with shining silver warriors and gold-level stigmata.

Maybe these creations can make our battle with the low-level evil god's family much smoother, but after the evil god comes, these creations become potential threats.

Even if you are in a sanctuary, if you are too close to the evil god, ordinary people's dreams will be invaded by spiritual pollution. "

Lannister handed the telescope to Yennefer behind him and said:
"In the beginning, ordinary people were unable to see the reality of the world because their mental power was too weak, so they did not feel spiritual pollution. Ignorance and ignorance became their protection.

When the evil god comes to the world, everything becomes different. The spiritual pollution of the evil god has risen to a higher level, and the spiritual power is too weak, which means that there is no resistance to the spread of the evil god's pollution.

Instead, ordinary people have become an unstable variable. For the church, these people can provide the power of faith, making the sanctuary you build stronger defensive power, but the sanctuary cannot prevent the thoughts of ordinary people from being polluted. "

He secretly despised it in his heart. He must have it in the classics of the Church of Knowledge, but Crown's abilities were obviously in the breathing method. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that a warrior could reach the Silver rank so quickly.

Crown didn't reply. The golden light talisman water can drive away evil spirits. If the golden light talisman is attached to ordinary people, the gray mist cannot harm them.

As the golden light spell advances, the effects of all talismans are further enhanced.

If there is no means for ordinary people to resist pollution, then create one. If there was no such means before, it does not mean that there will not be in the future.

Hundreds of years ago, the ancients at that time would never have imagined that humans could fly in the blue sky with the help of tools.

Flanders noticed that it was only four or five kilometers away from the cultist base and ordered:

"Inform the pilot to find a flatter place to land."

"As you command, Your Excellency," Harry agreed immediately and left quickly.

Soon, the airship began to spiral down, and finally hovered in a valley full of gravel.

The accompanying troops equipped themselves with flamethrowers and climbed down the rope ladder to clear an area for landing.

After the airship landed, Crown walked out and found that the snow here was more than two meters deep. It should be because the strong wind blew the snow from the hillside and piled it up here.

A total of three airships came to perform the mission today, two small new airships and one large transport airship.

One of the fastest and thickest armored new airships is responsible for luring the enemy. The large airship carries a large amount of baggage in case of any eventuality.

The airships landed one after another, and more and more soldiers stepped out of the airships to clear the snow.

The gravelly ground became muddy, and the soldiers used flamethrowers to bake the ground dry.

When everything was ready, Flanders asked: "Who is willing to go to lure the enemy?"

Silver-level extraordinary beings cannot fly and can only use magic (holy power) to simulate wings to glide, and battles can only take place on the ground.

The reason why Silver-level experts are used to lure the enemy is to prevent the airship from landing at the scheduled location if a very fast Silver-level double-headed Chimera appears.

Lannister understood that he was here to do a job and said directly: "Count me in."

Crown also raised his hand and said, "I'll go."

My two seniors are here, so it's best to do this kind of thing yourself.

The skin of the airship is reinforced with a double-layer magic circle, and the speed is fast enough, luring the enemy is not a very dangerous thing.

The Archbishop nodded and said, "Go early and come back early."

Crown and Lannister board the airship, accompanied by Geralt.

After the airship took off, Flanders ordered:

"The announcement continues, the combatants will stay, and the small airships will be on alert in the air nearby. If the enemy airship returns successfully, stay away immediately. The large airships will stay away now."

. . . .

As the airship headed northwest, Lannister asked:

"The airship you took last time was attacked several times by the two-headed Chimera. Do you know?"

Geralt shook his head slightly and said uncertainly:

"We were inside the airship, and we sensed seven or eight attacks from the vibrations of the attacks, but I'm not sure how many times we were hit, because Yennefer said that the Chimera's acid spray might not cause the airship to vibrate."

"It's okay, I'm just doing it as a reference." Lannister turned his head and discussed:

"The airship they are riding in has only one layer of magic circle on its skin. If we encounter a two-headed chimera, we can use the airship as a bait to consume their magic power. This will make the battle much easier."

Crown nodded slightly: "Okay, but don't take it off for fun."

If the airship crashed, he and the Lannister might be fine, but everyone else would most likely be dead.

In addition, airships are expensive to build. These are war resources in the Rhineland Parish, and it is painful to lose one.

"Don't worry, I won't risk our lives. We still need to be cautious. I will personally go to the cab to guide the driver."

The Lannister smiled and left.

Geralt was a little worried and said:

"Is it going to be a bit risky? The last time we arrived, the visibility was low due to weather conditions, and there was only one Chimera in pursuit. The weather is clear today. If we are pursued by multiple flying units, things will be more troublesome."

Crown said with relief: "Don't worry, how can you become a silver-level warlock without any sense of propriety?"

The airship flies at a low altitude and at a very slow speed. It would be best if the roaring sound can lure the enemy, so that they do not need to fly over the cultist base and the safety factor will be higher.

Crown leaned on the railing and released his super vision to observe the enemy's camp.

He could see the cultists coming and going in the base, building construction projects, and he was really preparing to stay there for a long time.

I don’t know if the red mask has the effect of isolating temperature differences. Many cultists have their upper bodies exposed, and their lower bodies are only covered with half an animal skin, exposing their strong thighs.

His eyes moved and met the beholder on a stone tower.

A bit like an octopus, it wraps around the stone tower with its tentacles. It has a huge head and is densely covered with scarlet eyes.

The beholder seemed to be extremely sensitive to gaze. All its eyes immediately turned and stared directly in the direction of the airship.

Crown could feel that the beholder was looking at him.

He immediately felt his scalp numb, not because of fear, but a natural physiological reaction.

'Shit, I found it at a glance. It's about three kilometers away from the beholder. '

Enduring the discomfort, he opened the small window of the viewing room. Fortunately this was a slowed down airship, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to open the window.

In his right hand appeared a metal longbow as tall as a man, with a bronze bow body and silver-white bow strings.

"Young man, if you get such a huge reaction at just one glance, why don't you let me reward you with a big one?"

Kroun whispered to himself, and a two-meter-long pale golden arrow appeared in his left hand. It was a refined iron arrow dyed with a golden light seal. It was a three-edged arrow with a bleeding groove on the arrow body and an extremely thin tail. silver metal feather.

The arrow is hollow inside, reducing its own weight and allowing it to shoot farther.

He felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he filled the inside of the arrow with sunburn liquid. Visually, the beholder is about the size of a small car. It may not be able to cause enough damage just by relying on magic-breaking metal.

"He who knows how to draw an eagle bow like the full moon, looks northwest, and shoots at you."

Kroun muttered, calculated the wind speed and air humidity, and shot the arrow of death.

A golden line appeared in the sky and headed straight towards the beholder.

As if sensing the danger, the beholder's gaze left Crown and followed the movement of the arrow.

Crown saw the arrow spinning across a long space, blasting out the beholder's eyeballs, tearing apart its flesh and blood, and completely engulfing its body.

Then, the beholder exploded magnificently like a watermelon with a powerful firecracker inside.

Red, green, and gold. Gorgeous fireworks bloomed on the stone tower.

Geralt saw the arrow flying out and asked in confusion:

"Sir, what did you shoot just now?"

"A monster with eyes."

The death of the beholder was like poking a hornet's nest. Two-headed chimeras and some large falcons flew out of the cultists' camp one after another, which were pets kept by the cultists.

In the cab, Lannister couldn't help but swear when he saw the Chimera taking off and rushing towards the airship.

"Fuck, what's going on?!"

He glanced at it and found that three chimeras had already flown out, and there might be a few more coming later.

Lannister knew the meaning of the phrase 'when you see the enemy, it means the enemy can also see you'. He quickly estimated the Chimera's speed and hurriedly issued an order:

"Return, turn around and return immediately, and move forward at full speed."

The airship slowly turned around and then accelerated.

The Lannister rushed down the passage to the end, observing the number of two-headed chimeras that caught up.

"one two three four"

While he was muttering to himself, the two of them, Crown, walked in.

"How many chimeras have you followed?"

"Ba Tou, it's not good to lure the enemy too well. If these beasts catch up, the airship may not be able to withstand it."

Even if the double-layered magic circle was attacked by the eight-headed chimera, it couldn't hold on.

When Chimera flew up from the cultist camp, Crown also estimated the speed of the enemy. The burst speed of these alchemical creatures was not much weaker than the fastest speed of the airship.

"Then fly faster."

"When I arrived, I had already ordered the driver to move forward at full speed."

"Fortunately," Crown nodded slightly. In this case, even if the airship is attacked, it will not be attacked many times, but it still cannot be taken lightly.

The two-headed chimera was chasing after the airship, and some falcons were following closely behind. The closest one to the airship was only four to five hundred meters away.

Crown borrowed a rifle from the guard, checked the condition of the gun and the bullets, and opened the window.

Lannister was suspicious: "What are you doing? Do you think a bullet can penetrate the Chimera's tough skin?"

"Try it, it will be idle if you are idle."

Crown said something perfunctory. Through Geralt's introduction, he understood that the bullet would have no effect if it hit the Chimera's skin.

What he wants to do is to shoot the Chimera's eyes. Logically speaking, this distance is not difficult, but after all, the Chimera is a third-level creature with keen intuition, so he may not succeed.

Holding the gun steady, he stretched the barrel out of the window.

Without deliberately aiming, he only had a moment of opportunity. The more advanced a creature is, the more inexplicable it is to have an inexplicable intuition about danger.

Crown calculated the direction of the airship. After a while, when the fastest two-headed Chimera was only more than two hundred meters away from the airship, he suddenly focused his eyes on the first place.

He immediately found the target's eyes and pulled the trigger at the same time.

"Bang, bang", two shots were fired.

Both shots are used to determine the position where the target's eyes meet the bullet after flying in its current state. The Chimera has two heads, and it will not die if one is exploded. Both must be exploded.

Jiji's shooting skills are his confidence. No matter how powerful a creature is, its eyes are also a vulnerable part.

With the special effects of dynamic vision and precise etiquette, it is unlikely to miss at such a close distance.

After the gunshot, Lannister's eyes suddenly shrank, because he saw one of the two-headed chimera's wings stop flapping, and it rolled and fell.
