Cataclysm King.

Chapter 569 Big surprise!

A few days later.

Onyx Plains, West Yorkshire.

"Rumble"

"Rumble"

"."

A roar like muffled thunder resounded throughout the plains and lasted endlessly.

On the horizon of the plain at the end of the field of vision, a torrent of steel surged forward.

Steam boilers roared, and hundreds of tall chimneys were blowing out white gas.

Taking a closer look, there are dozens of large and small mechanical castles.

The mining industry in Donghuang is very developed, so many movable mechanical cities have been built.

This steam-powered mechanical city is the private property of the lord, a mobile city in the wasteland, and a tool for reclamation.

During the war, it was slightly modified to become a fully functional war fortress.

Several mechanical cities can be spliced ​​together to form a large city in any area, capable of both offense and defense.

Each of the mechanical cities in front of us is tens of meters high.

Thick rivets and steel plates are spliced ​​together to form a rough city wall. The rusty outer wall is spray-painted with the castle number and the eagle emblem of King Oran in white paint; the wings of the fortress are covered with various weapons. Steam siege pendulum, mountain-breaking angle, and giant fork for capturing the city

The most exaggerated thing is the super-caliber city-mounted artillery with an extremely thick barrel.

Each mechanical city is equipped with countless long and short artillery pieces, like the spikes on the back of a hedgehog, arming the mechanical city into a terrifying and destructive steel monster.

Under its huge body are several pairs of huge wheels, tracks or mechanical legs.

When moving forward, these mechanical structures will make a dull and harsh metal friction sound.

These steel castles are slowly rolling over the land, heading towards the eastern battlefield.

Wherever they passed, the tracks and wheels left ravines several meters deep in the plains.

This is a heavily armed army composed of mobile mechanical cities, an inconspicuous one among the millions of troops assembled by the Oran Royal Court.

The equipment is not elite.

But what others don't know is that this is one of the most important logistics corps on the Oran side.

And just as the torrent of steel was moving slowly, hundreds of fully armed mechanical warriors were already ambushed on a hill in the distance.

There was a murderous atmosphere in the air.

These are the elites from the New World Machinery City. They have loaded their guns and are ready to start the ambush operation.

The leaders were none other than Ji Xun and Dong Qi.

Through the telescope, Ji Xun saw a mechanical city with the number "66" sprayed on it in the torrent of steel. He motioned to Dong Qi beside him and said: "The 'AL-66' mechanical city is the intelligence provided by the Royal Court of Oran." The mechanical city of energy modules”

If it weren't for the information he had received from "Emperor Shadow" before, he would not have thought that such an mediocre second-rate army would be one of the most important logistics support teams on the Oran side.

"Um!"

Dong Qi nodded and said: "If the enemy is only a force on the surface, it will not be difficult for us to escape intact."

Although it has an absolute numerical advantage compared to the enemies in the distance, the advantage of the mechanical city is to attack the city.

In their new world, there are more than twenty Hunter God Armors and a Titan. Their combat power cannot be underestimated.

In a real fight, those bulky mechanical cities do not pose much of a threat to the small group of attacking troops.

As she spoke, her eyes flashed with determination, and she added: "Then I'll let everyone prepare to take action."

I have been observing it for a long time and have not found anything special about the mechanical castle army in front of me. There is no reason not to give it a try.

Dong Qi knew that the action was risky.

But if the bet is right, the core problem of Titan Energy can be solved.

This will have a long-term impact on the future war situation and even the entire scientific and technological civilization!

So even if you know there are huge risks, it is still worth taking a gamble.

"Um."

When Ji Xun heard this, he thought for a moment and only reminded: "Be careful. If you encounter an ambush, evacuate as soon as possible."

Countless details have been discussed before, and there is no need to say more.

"good."

Dong Qi nodded seriously. She knew what Ji Xun meant.

Once the ambush begins, they face two scenarios.

First, the enemy was unprepared, and they successfully completed their plan, whether they missed something or grabbed something, they were able to escape unscathed;

The second is that the enemy knows that the intelligence may be leaked and has used it as bait to lay a trap long ago. Once they go there, they will be surrounded.

If it is the second situation, most of the more than one hundred elites in the New World will be lost here.

The risk of group destruction is almost half.

Even after Ji Xun's deduction, he was not sure what the situation was.

He had been observing for a long time before and found nothing unusual in the demeanor, defenses, or movement of the personnel in the mechanical battle fort.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the Oran Royal Court is unprepared.

If you are not sure, you can only give it a try.

Ji Xun can't show up easily, so that he can have a chance to deal with emergencies.

Only the mechanics of the new world can try it out.

As the captain, Dong Qi, of course, had to go in person.

Now both sides know that the other has the ability to behead people.

So no one dares to act rashly.

At the Royal Court of Oran, almost all the top combat forces gathered around King Arthur.

At present, the main forces of the two sides in the war have not yet collided, but the exchange of fire between small groups of troops on the front line is already very frequent.

But there hasn't been a single firefight on the battlefield where a top card master has appeared.

This is why Ji Xun thought he could give it a try.

The secret base of Oran Royal Court is not only the "Mechanical City No. 66" in front of you, but there are many more.

However, the enemy's top-level combat power that poses a threat to Ji Xuneng is limited, and it is impossible to cover all areas.

Therefore, this first elite sneak attack will most likely catch the opponent off guard.

"I'm going."

Dong Qi glanced at Ji Xun, said nothing more, closed the cockpit of the mechanical armor, and issued an order: "Get ready for action!"

Beside her, more than a hundred mechanical armors instantly entered combat mode.

And the other side.

In the Mechanical City army of Oran Royal Court.

It was the same here as before, the boring march made everyone look listless.

On the city tower, the patrolling soldiers were unaware of the upcoming crisis.

In the Mechanical City, in addition to sergeants, there are also civilians who have been recruited.

Old Jack the Boilermaker is that.

Having burned boilers in Machinery City No. 66 for decades, he had long been accustomed to the choking smell of soot in the cabin.

It turned out that it was not called No. 66, but "Mosenburg".

It is the private property of Lord Viscount Mohsen, who has been cultivating the rich pyrite in the Sikkim Mountains in the central part of the Federation.

Later, people from the southern continent came, and the war turned the Mechanical City into a war fortress.

Old Jack is still a boilermaker.

Originally, the military men disliked his old age and did not want him.

But he has lived in Mechanical City for most of his life and is very familiar with his old buddy.

It still refuses to obey others when others come. Even if it is given enough coal, it will occasionally lose its temper and lie down.

So old Jack was recruited back.

Oh, it's not called the Federation anymore.

I am a little old and confused.

Old Jack laughed at himself, rolled himself a cigarette with tobacco, lit it and took a puff, showing an expression of enjoyment.

At this moment, a young voice shouted: "Grandpa, Grandpa, please stop smoking. Uncle Cole said that smoking too much is bad for your health."

Old Jack turned to look at the fat and white grandson, revealing a mouth of black teeth that had been smoky all year round. He immediately put out the cigarette in his hand, and hugged the young child who emerged from the coal pile with a smile. Eyes full of adoration: "Okay. My little Danny, why did you come to the boiler room again?"

The little guy is only four or five years old, with red lips and white teeth. But because he had just climbed out of the coal pile, his face was dirty.

Old Jack believed that he could not give birth to such a good-looking grandson. He was a refugee picked up during the war a year ago.

This little guy was almost crushed to death under the wheels of the Machinery City. Fortunately, he had sharp eyes and rescued the little thing from the mud.

Oh, I don’t know if this little guy’s parents are still alive.

Little Danny held Old Jack's face and asked in a childish voice: "Grandpa, grandpa, where are we going? We haven't stopped for many days."

Old Jack held his grandson on the swing in the air, and the smile on his face squeezed into a bright daisy: "Let's go to the war."

Little Danny tilted his head and asked innocently: "Oh. Are you going to fight those nasty enemies in the Southern Continent?"

Old Jack laughed naively: "I don't know. I heard that the people in the Southern Continent have been beaten away."

As he spoke, he couldn't help the itchiness in his throat and coughed a few times.

This is the old pneumoconiosis problem of boilermakers.

Little Danny seemed to understand, and thought for a while: "Oh. Then where are we going?"

Old Jack looked at the future through the ventilation window of the boiler room. It was so gray that he couldn't see anything: "I don't know. Little Danny, do you still remember what grandpa said yesterday?"

Little Danny nodded seriously: "Yes, remember. When you hear the cannon fire, you hide in the innermost compartment of the boiler room, where it is the strongest. Wait until the cannon stops before coming out."

"Our little Danny is awesome!"

Hearing this, Old Jack's wrinkled old face was filled with relief and he praised him.

War is always cruel, and no one can guarantee how long they can survive.

Originally, if he hadn't picked up this little grandson on the way, Old Jack felt that he would be dead if he died.

Anyway, I have lived enough.

It’s time for the boiler that has been burning for a lifetime to rest.

But now.

He was suddenly scared to death again.

I was afraid that I would die, how could Danny survive when he was still so young?

He was still at an age where he needed help from others to break even black bread. How could he survive in this cruel war alone?

Oh, I wish this **** war would end soon.

Old Jack spat.

But at this moment, there was a "bang" next to the ear, and the artillery exploded.

The location of the ambush was on a hill, which was inconspicuous.

When the enemy's dozens of steel castles came in force, countless smoke grenades shot out in parabolas and landed in the mid-air of the Mechanical City, forming a large fog of war.

At the same time, more than a hundred elite mechanical warriors from the New World rushed down.

The enemy also reacted immediately.

In the smoke, countless artillery pieces emitted tongues of flame, gradually filling the entire field of vision.

The attack was fierce with hundreds of artillery pieces.

The shells rained down on the ground.

But this is not a big threat to the group of mechanical warriors who rush close to the ground.

The steam boiler, which had already accumulated enough pressure, exploded with astonishing power, allowing the advance distance of several kilometers to be reached in the blink of an eye.

When the soldiers rushed to the foot of the Mechanical City, those huge city-mounted artillery were no longer a threat.

But in exchange, enemies swarmed out.

Thousands of Oran soldiers armed with individual firearms and artillery opened fire on them.

The heavy close-range defense guns on the city wall turrets also highlighted the brilliantly colored flames.

The enemy's mechanical warriors also rushed out in groups.

Da da da.

Da da da.

Bullets rained down on the ground.

Dong Qi took the lead, holding up a magic shield to block the front and attract firepower.

Countless bullets and artillery shells hit the mecha, and there was already a sea of ​​fire in the field of vision.

But the superior defensive armor of the Titan armor makes it invincible against thousands of armies.

Both Dong Qilai and Dong Qilai are elites. They have a tacit cooperation and have already become proficient in tactics. The sharp knife tactics also allowed them to withstand firepower, pierce the enemy's defensive line immediately, and rush into the hinterland.

Their goals are also very clear.

He rushed directly towards Machinery City No. 66.

Mechanical hooks shot out, piercing the outer steel wall, then pulled up the heavy mecha and jumped up.

In a short period of time, Dong Qi led a dozen people to attack the deck of the Machinery City.

The two sides started a fierce street fight in the Machinery City.

Dong Qi wielded the [Magic City Slashing Knife] with a dazzling blue light, cutting the steel deck like soft mud. She was alone in front, unstoppable.

In the blink of an eye, the group of people rushed into the core area of ​​Mechanical City.

Other teammates also faced thousands of times more enemies and launched fierce interception and cover.

The more than one hundred people in the New World relied on their equipment advantages to temporarily gain a foothold in the enemy's base camp.

Everything went as planned.

On the other side, Ji Xun was hiding in the mist in the distance, carefully observing the entire battlefield.

He wanted to see any trace of the top powerhouse leaking out.

Or maybe there are signs of generals with the will of foreign gods.

Whenever someone appears, he will take Dong Qi away without hesitation.

However, what surprised him was that the battle went very smoothly.

It was almost the most successful situation he had deduced before.

Without encountering any accidents, the New World Team successfully entered the core area of ​​Mechanical City No. 66.

Although there are some Hunter God Armors and two seventh-level card masters at the Oran Palace, they are not a big threat to the well-equipped Dong Qi and his party.

As long as they evacuate in time according to the plan and are not surrounded by the army, it will be a perfect raid.

However, even this smoothness made Ji Xun feel more and more strange.

I always feel like something is wrong.

But according to the information fed back from the communicator, Dong Qi really had a smooth journey.

Just when Ji Xun thought that the Oran Royal Court might have moved the energy module manufacturing base due to news leaks, Dong Qi's good news suddenly came from the communicator: "Found it!"

Ji Xun's expression became increasingly weird as he heard that Dong Qi's progress was smoother than expected.

I originally thought I needed to take action, but now I see it seems like I don’t need to take action at all.

Just when Ji Xun was still doubting whether there was something wrong with the equipment, Dong Qi once again confirmed that Machinery City No. 66 was the energy module production base!

She's an expert on mechanics, so she can't be wrong.

Not just equipment, but also drawings, and a large number of raw materials and finished and semi-finished products.

Then it was packed and taken away.

Although there are a lot of things, there are a lot of space equipment that are unique to Ji Xun, and a lot of equipment can be packed and stuffed in one go.

The entire raid lasted less than half an hour and was over.

From the beginning to the end, Ji Xun didn't feel the aura of any top powerhouse.

It wasn't until he watched Dong Qi slash through the wall of the Mechanical City with one sword and rush out of the city with his people that he dared to believe that the plan was going so smoothly.

The battle went better than expected.

Dong Qi rushed in with his men, and then rushed out again.

Most of the entire No. 66 Mechanical City has been destroyed in the fierce exchange of fire and is riddled with holes.

Corpses and machinery were strewn all over the ground.

The more than 100 people from the New World didn't stop at all, and rushed out again despite the artillery fire.

After running for dozens of miles, the pursuers behind him were completely invisible.

The Kalim Wetland in the southeast of the Red Agate Plain is a restricted area for large machinery and is also the agreed-upon gathering place.

Dong's team of more than 70 people finally arrived, and the teams that had been separated from the New World finally reunited here.

After taking stock, they found that although they had some losses, they were much better than expected.

It brought great success with extremely low battle losses.

It was definitely a perfect surprise attack.

Ji Xun walked out of the mist in the wetland early. It was not until he saw Dong Qi coming back that he was sure that no pursuers were coming.

Everyone was extremely excited.

"Hahaha we succeeded!"

"It's so cool! Our mecha is much stronger than those guys in Oran."

"That's right. You didn't see that the captain is so awesome! We rushed at the front, and the enemy's artillery was pressed against the door. At that time, my heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of my chest. I didn't expect the captain to kill him with a sharp knife. The enemy's hunting **** armor was scrapped."

"I can't believe it. We faced hundreds of times more enemies and actually completed the mission."

"That idiot Rock said that the improved 'E3 Magic Missile' cannot be used at close range. This guy almost blew himself up and fainted."

"I pressed the wrong button in a hurry"

"."

The time of crisis has passed, and everyone has relaxed from the tense fighting state.

They chatted excitedly about the details of the previous battle.

No one knows how many possibilities were deduced in the mind of Ji Xun, a bystander.

Even now he is still thinking, could it be that he deliberately set the bait?

Deliberately letting people take things away and then chasing after them.

But he soon dismissed the idea.

Now that the situation has reached a decisive battle, there is no need to engage in this.

Dividing the troops to use bait is far worse than the plan of encirclement and killing on the spot, so there is no need to bother with it.

Is there something wrong with those things?

This is the only reasonable explanation Ji Xun can think of.

Only in this way can we explain why the Oran Royal Court pays so little attention to it.

At this time, Dong Qi also came over.

Opening the control room revealed that delicate face, which was fine.

The two nodded similarly.

Ji Xun asked: "Is that so?"

Dong Qi also had an expression of indescribable confusion, and responded: "It went very smoothly. Everything seems to be fine as well."

She knew what Ji Xun wanted to ask.

Even she herself was surprised that it went so smoothly.

Ji Xun didn't say much and directly checked the trophies they brought back.

He didn't dare to take these things away without confirming his suspicions.

As soon as he opened the first storage space, he saw a pile of gray bricks and said in surprise: "Mysterious psychic medium?"

Ji Xun recognized it at a glance. Isn't this the spiritual medium made by the Silver Moon Sect by sacrificing human beings?

How could this thing appear in the energy module manufacturing base?

Dong Qi also felt strange and told what he saw: "This should not be the material for making Titan's energy core. But there is an altar in the base, and this medium is for the altar. When we entered, we happened to see As the altar operates, it provides certain mysterious powers to the energy production line."

"ah???"

Ji Xun was also confused after hearing this. Why did theology and science get mixed up?

Dong Qi's cognition was not yet able to understand what he saw, so he could only fully describe it, "Oh, that's right. There is a record in the visualization crystal in my armor."

As she spoke, she opened the light screen, which was like a driving recorder, recording the entire scene of the previous battle.

Ji Xun looked over.

From Dong Qi's perspective, he saw the altar.

Looking at the layout of "four pillars arching over the moon", one can immediately recognize it as the Silver Moon Altar.

Dong Qi didn't understand the mysteries of ground formations, but Ji Xun understood a little bit and said in surprise: "Space Magic Patterns? Hey. The space law is actually used to condense the Titan's energy core?"

This time he was really surprised.

After watching for a while, he finally understood why those in the Oran Palace were not well guarded.

Because this formation is very strange.

Only divine power can activate and produce that kind of energy module.

As for the Eastern Wasteland, only the Oran Royal Court has this ability.

I don't know if this "Titan Core" was originally produced this way, or if it was a clever way of grafting.

Activate the formation through the [Secret Cause Medium], gather the divine power, and then guide it to the formation that should be brought from the tomb of "Mad King" Alduin, and start to condense a mysterious power. Then pour this mysterious power into the mechanical Rubik's Cube, which becomes an energy module.

This is the same principle as the energy module manufacturing principle of the Hunter Armor, but the process is completely different.

Dong Qi didn't understand it at all and asked: "Ah? Isn't the [Power Gem Golden Ball] driven by gravity? How can it be the law of space?"

This question brought up Ji Xun's biggest doubt.

He seemed to understand something and said: "I seem to understand. The gravitational force released by the secret method of "inducing the gods to fall" may not be what I thought before, but a special force. Now it seems that the law it points to should be the law of space. "

After a pause, he said in a deep tone: "Gravity is just a 'phase' manifested by space distortion."

"???"

Dong Qi couldn't understand it at all.

Ji Xun didn't explain much, because it was just an idea and he wasn't sure that his idea was correct.

He needed more evidence.

Thinking of this, he directly found the storage space that contained countless drawings and started looking through it.

The drawings were quickly scanned in front of his eyes, and Ji Xunye's suspicion finally disappeared.

Seeing those drawings, he finally confirmed that the people in the Oran Palace did not pay attention to the secret research base for Titan energy modules.

It’s really because even if someone else takes the blueprints, they can’t make it!

The method they used required divine power to support it.

It is impossible for Ji Xun and the others to sacrifice countless people to create a mysterious medium as the source of divine power, and there is no divine order that can help them handle the complicated transformation ritual.

Therefore, whether these drawings or equipment are taken away, they will be a pile of useless waste.

The Oran Royal Court can definitely reproduce some more.

Ji Xun felt a little depressed for a moment.

It seems that I have been busy for a long time and have done nothing.

Looking at the expectant looks of everyone, he could not directly say that the things that the guys risked their lives to grab were completely useless.

But Dong Qi knew Ji Xun very well.

She looked at the subtle changes in his expression as if she could see something. Although the expression was the same, she could not hide the disappointment in her crystal eyes.

After all, I came with high expectations, and just now I was overjoyed because the plan went well.

Now that the great joy of harvest has failed, it is difficult to be happy.

Others saw the disappointed expression hidden in Dong Qi's eyes and vaguely guessed what was going on.

However, before the gloomy atmosphere spread, Ji Xunfan saw the outline of the drawing, but his pupils suddenly trembled: "This is the production drawing of [Power Gem Golden Ball]?!"

Although Dong Qi didn't understand the complicated Talun ancient language for a while.

But looking at the carefully described golden ball on the drawing, she immediately confirmed that this was the golden ball in her hand?

She looked at Ji Xun.

But he saw an extremely strange expression.

Dong Qi thought something big had happened and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably, and he said in a strange tone: "I seem to know how to make this [Power Gem Golden Ball]."

He finally understood why this armor was called Titan.

Because the most important material on the drawing contains a word that others cannot understand, called "The Sorrow of the Titans."

This is an ancient saying from before the Age of Chaos.

Now, it's called "Titan."

The material on the drawing is translated as [Titan Godhead Fragment].
