Cataclysm King - #341 - Chapter 341 The powerful magician
Ji Xun sneaked into Star Falling City smoothly.
The other investigators still needed to hide, but he changed his clothes and walked on the street swaggeringly.
The pollution in heavy industrial cities is very serious, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of coal smoke.
Ji Xun wore a gas mask and walked on the street like other pedestrians.
Although it is late at night, Starfall City is full of machinery factories working two shifts, and you can see a large number of workers wandering around after get off work on the streets at any time.
This place has the cheapest mechanical products in the entire federation. Recently, due to the war, the official has relaxed purchase restrictions. There are also many outsiders coming to the city to buy mechanical equipment.
The streets are lined with various mechanical parts shops and modification shops.
The display windows are filled with all kinds of weird mechanical equipment.
Ji Xun walked and looked around, sighing in his heart: “Mechanical technology is developing so fast.”
Volcano type 3 magic artillery, God of Death II magic-breaking lightsaber, Beamon steam siege ram, T-119 individual mechanical exoskeleton.
These once restricted military equipment are now available on the streets.
Being able to buy it means that the military’s equipment and technology are of higher quality.
And there were many things in the store that he had never seen before.
After taking a look at the advertisement at the door of the store, there are many advanced mechanical weapons that can threaten third- and fourth-level card masters.
Most of these were developed from the Old Continent and obtained blueprints to manufacture ancient machinery.
Ji Xun glanced at it for a few times but didn’t look any further.
The shortcomings of mechanical equipment are still obvious.
The power is enough, but it cannot solve the problem of operator safety.
It’s just that kind of mechanical exoskeleton that can’t completely wrap the body, and it has too many fatal flaws.
If it is a heavily armored mecha, mobility is still a big problem.
It was still far from the level of the Titan armor that Ji Xun had seen in the Augustus Imperial Tomb before.
The large force of the Ninth Legion will arrive in an hour at most, and Ji Xun needs to find the Song family members as soon as possible.
But as he walked, he soon discovered something unusual.
Now that he is considered a professional spy, it is easy to see that there are many “peers” on the street.
These guys seemed to be workers, hunters, or other identities, but their eyes were occasionally looking at the people on the street.
This is a professionally trained espionage officer.
“Are you here for the Song family? Or is the factory here secretly producing Titan machinery?”
Ji Xun thought about it and realized that these professional spies could only be members of the Oran royal family.
No matter what the situation is, with such a tight defense in the city, the situation of the Song family is not optimistic.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun didn’t waste any time. He rode his motorcycle to Paotong Street a few blocks away and found a small shop called “Beetle Workers Tavern”.
Here is what Catalina said. She can contact Song Can to get in touch with the safe house.
When he walked in again, Ji Xun was already dressed in a greasy worker’s uniform.
He glanced at the drinkers in the room, and he naturally blended in with the drinking workers.
When he reached the bar, he pulled out a high stool and sat down, calling to the bartender: “A glass of ‘Iron Rain’.”
The bartender didn’t look at him much and quickly brought him a glass of dark liquor.
Ji Xun paid with a triangular stack of banknotes, and then lit a cigarette for himself.
The bartender looked at his series of actions with a strange look in his peripheral vision. He quickly took out a piece of paper from the bar and handed it over.
Ji Xun glanced at it calmly. The content was a normal letter.
But in his eyes, those handwritings were arranged again according to a special pattern, and something else suddenly appeared: “Brother Ji Xun, by the time you read this letter, something may have happened to me.”
Ji Xun looked at the beginning of the letter and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Almost in a blink of an eye, Ji Xun read the entire letter.
The letter was left by Song Can and explained the situation of the Song family being targeted by the Oran royal family.
The most important purpose is to leave behind some things from the Song family.
Ji Xun was not surprised at all by Song Can’s arrangement.
The guy had obviously arranged several escape routes, and this was the last one, which would allow him to get the Song family’s secrets if all the others failed.
But what Ji Xun saw was more than just this.
His thoughts suddenly started to spin.
“This Starfall City is currently secretly manufacturing some parts of the ‘Titan Armor’. It seems that there must be experts from the Oran Royal Court stationed in the city.”
“And the intelligence department of the Southern Continent is definitely not stupid. It is very likely that they got some directional intelligence and attacked several military targets including Starfall City this time.”
“So, not only the Ninth Legion, but also the top powerhouses in the Southern Continent are likely to have been prepared for a long time. Waiting for the Titan Machine to appear, they will come forward to intercept it?”
“Tsk, that’s interesting.”
Ji Xun instantly deduced the development of several events in his mind.
It looks like two separate events: 1. The Song family, 2. The Ninth Legion attack
But in fact, because of some underground secret factories, the two incidents happened to be involved together.
Ji Xun even speculated that the removal of several mechanical cities in this military operation may not be the ultimate goal.
What those people in the Southern Continent really want to solve is the Titan mechanical armor.
Previously, the Oran Royal Court used Titan machinery to successfully implement several “decapitation tactics” and severely damaged several vanguard groups in the southern continent.
But this tactic cannot always be used.
Once the frequency of appearance is high, the people on Nanda Road will definitely be able to analyze from the battle reports that there are not many mechanical armors.
Of course I will find a way to completely solve this trouble.
Ji Xun had a lot of information gathered together and could easily deduce this information.
Thinking of this, he didn’t panic anymore: “It seems that the Song family’s situation may not be so difficult.”
Now that the Eastern Wasteland is isolated from the Old Continent, the masters of the Alliance Army there cannot get through.
Ji Xun thought before that he might not be able to handle the Song family’s affairs alone.
Looking at it now, it seems like something is going on.
It’s all dangerous anyway, so let’s make a positive out of a negative.
Ji Xun thought about his decision, turned around and left the tavern.
The matter was urgent, and he couldn’t take care of the two suspicious stalkers behind him.
Ji Xun walked to the alley next to the tavern and easily found an iron lump the size of a fist at the sewer entrance pointed to by the letter.
This is the secret treasure of the Song family.
He didn’t wonder what it was and put it away casually.
At the entrance of the alley, two stalkers were about to catch up and see what was going on, when a shadow in the darkness quietly wiped their throats.
The body lay limp in the darkness.
Ji Xun walked on the street again.
Everything is normal in the city now, which means that there are no major problems with the Song family for the time being.
Possibly under house arrest.
It may also be that the Song family and the Oran royal family haven’t broken up yet.
Ji Xun doesn’t know what Song Can’s plan is.
But it can also be guessed that if the fat man wants to escape, what he needs most now is someone who can attract the attention of the Oran royal family in the city.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun already had a plan.
He jumped up and jumped to a high factory tower nearby.
There is a loudspeaker in the communications room here to announce commutes.
Ji Xun took out two cards in his hand and shot them into the sky without hesitation.
immediately.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Two thunderous signal bomb blasts resounded throughout Starfall City.
Fireworks in the shape of a fire dragon exploded in the sky, as bright as the sun.
At the same time, several mushroom clouds exploded not far away.
At this time, Ji Xun cleared his throat and shouted into the loudspeaker: “The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!!”
After this panicked voice, the entire factory area began to commotion, and soon it was like a domino, crashing and spreading throughout the city.
If it were just “crying wolf”, maybe no one would believe it after a brief panic.
But the actual situation is that there are really two hundred Southern Continent pioneer scouts mixed into the city.
The card Ji Xun just flew out was the Ninth Legion’s rally signal.
Meaning: If you find a major target, act in advance!
The city will be massacred in an hour. If we cause some trouble now, some people in the city might be able to escape.
And Song Can’s side is also the best opportunity.
the other side.
Not long after he came out, Mr. Jiu attracted a group of Oran agents for a walk.
The old man was racking his brains, thinking about how he could make some noise so as to create a better escape opportunity for the head of the family.
But he never expected that a sudden explosion disrupted his plan.
Not only was Mr. Jiu stunned, but the agents were also confused.
Looking at the flares in the sky, everyone felt like they couldn’t turn around.
The first reaction was: Such a low-level claim to the east and west?
Mr. Jiu frowned, thinking that Song Can had other plans.
But this plan is too crude, right?
Although the movement was loud, the guards in the city could quickly confirm that there were no “enemies”, which would instead arouse suspicion and expose the evacuation plan.
Agent Oran had the same reaction.
They didn’t even want to pay attention to it, but instead kept a close eye on Mr. Jiu, who was already acting suspiciously.
However, no one expected that the next second, accidents would happen one after another.
“Ang~”
The high-pitched dragon roar sounded throughout the city.
The military orders were like a mountain, no matter what happened, the vanguard of the two hundred and ninth legions burst into violence as soon as they saw the assembly signal.
No matter where they were, they began to gather in the direction of the signal transmission.
This movement is not small.
The city guards discovered it immediately.
The two sides became furious in an instant.
“Boom, boom, boom”
The mechanical warrior battles are very noisy.
At this moment, everyone in the city realized that the enemy was really coming.
The vanguard group is almost all third- and fourth-level card masters, and there are many fifth-level squad leaders, and there is also a sixth-level one!
After the sixth-level dragonborn transforms, his combat power is half a level higher than that of an ordinary sixth-level card master.
This kind of existence must either come from a legend or cost a lot of deaths to pile up, otherwise no one can deal with it.
However, there are currently countless masters above the level of legend in the entire Donghuang.
For a city the size of Falling Star City, there are not ten thousand but eight thousand.
How could it be such a coincidence that we happen to be here?
The information obtained by the sixth-level deputy commander was the same.
He unscrupulously transformed into a red dragon and soared in the sky, resisting all kinds of artillery spells with his dragon scales, spraying dragon flames randomly.
In a blink of an eye, fire spread everywhere in the city.
When Mr. Jiu saw this, he didn’t know what was going on, but he couldn’t miss the opportunity.
Now that the chaos is gone, he can evacuate openly!
At the same time, Song Can in the underground factory got the news immediately.
But as the messages from the guards became more and more exaggerated, the fat man’s reaction was confused: Mr. Jiu is so powerful? He actually made a plan for the enemy to attack the city? How?
Before he could figure anything out, the city was already in chaos.
“Run away! The enemy is coming!”
“It doesn’t look like there are many enemies. Why are you running?”
“You know what the heck, if the enemy dares to take action, the army must be behind! Moreover, mechanical technology is taboo in the Southern Continent. Residents of other captured cities can surrender and become slaves. We mechanics will definitely die! If we don’t run away, it will be too late!” “
“.”
Longwei has an irresistible frightening effect on low-level card masters and ordinary people.
The city was filled with dragon roars, and the residents were trembling with fear.
People had no sense of belonging to the Royal Court of Oran, and they did not want to die for the new king.
The first reaction is of course to run away.
The most indispensable thing in the mechanical city is motorcycles. Almost as soon as the battle started, countless motorcycles, armored vehicles, and personnel carriers roared with steam boilers and dispersed into the wilderness.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of people seemed to have anticipated this day and fled out of the city.
Seeing this scene, the people in the Oran Palace in the city were also caught off guard.
Originally, taking advantage of the number of people in the city, it was not difficult for them to clear out the enemies who numbered less than 200.
But who would have never expected that the residents of the city would just run away without showing any signs of resistance?
Not only the residents, but also the city guards, who were still fighting fiercely with the vanguard group, immediately gave up their resistance when they saw this scene, and in the blink of an eye they followed the chaotic crowd and broke out.
The people in the Southern Continent were also extremely surprised by this scene.
There are hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, and the two hundred people of the Ninth Legion originally planned to fight to the death.
But never thought that two hundred of them would allow hundreds of thousands of people to flee in a hurry?
However, this kind of result is not what they want.
This time they want to massacre the city.
Taking action in advance means that the combat goal has not been achieved.
The sixth-level deputy commander was also confused, wondering which bastard had fired the rally signal before!
However, the next moment, he understood that the signal flare was not wrong.
On normal days, these two hundred people might really be able to capture Starfall City, but the current situation is that there is the Titan OEM factory of Oran Royal Court in this city.
It’s not just the security force that appears on the surface.
There are also masters.
The residents can run, but the masters of the Oran Royal Court cannot just run away when the enemy comes.
What’s more, there are still a large number of important personnel and equipment data that have not had time to be transferred.
They preconceivedly thought that since the enemy had already attacked here, they must have some accurate information.
Therefore, there is no need to delay at all, and these enemies must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Just when the investigation team of more than 200 people gathered somewhere in Nancheng District following the signal sent by Ji Xun, they had no idea when bursts of sweet singing suddenly sounded in the air.
Like there’s a choir singing?
In the tense battlefield, the music in this scene seemed particularly weird.
The sixth-level deputy commander heard this song and realized that something was not good, and shouted: “Everyone, be careful!”
His intuition made his hair stand on end, but he didn’t know where the danger came from.
“Southeast, capture the people!”
“yes!”
A small team moved towards the house from which the chorus of sounds came.
Before they could get closer, they seemed to hear the theater’s curtain call: “Please listen to my play. This play is…”The Funeral Song”.”
When the investigation team heard this, their expressions changed and they didn’t dare to get close. A dozen spell cards flew over.
The card turned into strips of red dragon’s breath in an instant, and the extremely high temperature it contained even distorted the void, and instantly melted the steel house into molten iron.
Not only did everyone in the Southern Continent not feel at ease when they saw this, but they all looked shocked.
As they looked inside the house, a pale blue green barrier remained unharmed.
And inside the barrier, a band was performing.
If you look closely, you will see that the actors shaking their heads are not human beings at all.
But a creaking puppet.
At this moment, a man in a tuxedo completely ignored the besieging personnel and continued to command calmly, chanting softly: “The Secret of Magic: Funeral with Swordsman!”
The puppet band also had strange smiles on their faces, and the rhythm of the instruments in their hands suddenly became exciting and deadly.
The crunch is harsh.
In a daze, dozens of people around seemed to watch the notes condense into real objects in the air, turning into ghost swordsmen, raising their swords to chop at them.
Those people in the Southern Continent instantly felt the terror of approaching death. They all looked frightened and wanted to block it.
However, the sword penetrated directly through their bodies and defeated their souls.
The dozens of people who were close didn’t even have time to escape before their expressions froze on their faces.
Already exhausted.
The sound waves were still spreading rapidly like ripples, and people fell down like wheat.
The sixth-level deputy commander who retreated violently when he saw that the situation was not going well, did not completely escape the range of the sonic attack, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
He couldn’t hide his horror when he looked at the man in tuxedo who was commanding the puppet army in front of him.
On a high tower far away from the battlefield.
Looking at the familiar scene, Ji Xun raised a teasing smile: “This sonic attack can ignore defense. No matter how thick the dragon scale is, it is completely useless. It is considered professional restraint.”
That’s no one else.
It was Domingo, the “Dramatist” who had met one of the King’s Four Knights before.
In the blink of an eye, Domingo controlled the puppet army and killed the dozens of surviving members of the Ninth Legion.
He was obviously alone, but he just put on an exaggerated posture of surrounding dozens of people on his own.
Killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables.
Ji Xun looked at this scene and marveled: “The puppets formed an army and slaughtered the city by one man. It really lives up to its reputation.”
[Juggler] This career sequence is not only good at defeating many enemies with one, but also has extraordinary individual combat capabilities.
Don’t look at Domingo’s lack of temper when he was beaten by Gong Wu.
But if an ordinary legend encounters him, they will most likely die.
Just like the sixth-level army commander in front of him.
Normally, this guy who transforms into a dragon can easily kill an average sixth-level human card master.
Even if they face a legend in a short period of time, they may not lose.
But by chance, I met this guy.
Battle array defense, battle array attack, sound waves, poison gas, mechanisms, control, spells… everything.
One hundred puppets, more than a thousand methods.
There is always a way to restrain the opponent.
It was obviously a one-on-one fight, but the sixth-level legion commander felt that he was one against a hundred, and was being beaten back by Domingo.
Ji Xun looked very interested.
The last time the puppet army was defeated by Gong Wu too simply, we didn’t see the puppet army show its true strength.
Now that I look at it, I realize that the combat power is so outrageous.
said with no exaggeration.
If anyone wants to fight Domingo alone, it will be a head-on collision with an army.
The puppets have overlapping advantages, complementary shortcomings, and consistent control.
Simply impeccable.
This made Ji Xun curious: “But then again, what is the secret method of controlling more than a hundred puppets at the same time?”
The upper limit of [Juggler] is more than that.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately thought of the scene in the imperial mausoleum where the undead spirit with a severed arm single-handedly stopped Prince Salo and his party.
If that person were still alive, he might have the fighting power to destroy a country.
hiss.
really.
Fifty-two sequences, none of them simple.
Ji Xun glanced at it for a few times, then didn’t look any further.
He didn’t forget that he was helping the Song family to rescue them.
Taking advantage of Domingo being held back here, Ji Xun thought he should go and see if Song Can had successfully evacuated.
