Chapter 788 Dragon Boat Death Battle
Imperial Grand Canal.
The total length is 2,500 kilometers.
In order to build this waterway transportation hub that ran through the north and south of the empire, the empire forcibly conscripted 1 million people into corvee labor. During this period, countless people died from high-intensity labor and accidents. At the same time, the astronomical cost also caused serious damage to the empire's economy.
An extremely heavy burden.
But from a long-term perspective, once the Grand Canal is opened to navigation, it will immediately become the most important economic artery of the empire, the logistics speed will increase by more than ten times, and the transportation cost will be reduced to a minimum.
It will be a great benefit to the country and the people.
Seeing the great significance of the construction of the Grand Canal to the country, the conscientious faction in the DPRK and China mobilized all kinds of manpower and material resources against the dual pressure from the upper class and the people. It took seven years to build this canal, which can be called a miracle of mankind.
The Thousand Miles Grand Canal.
Today is the day when the Grand Canal is officially completed and opened to navigation.
For this grand navigation ceremony, the Imperial Ministry of Industry mobilized craftsmen a few years ago to build a royal dragon boat to the highest standards. At the same time, it invited the rich and powerful from the imperial capital to take a boat trip south to visit the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait and experience the ever-changing canal.
efficiency.
Since early in the morning, the pier of the canal has been bustling with people, and both sides of the river bank are crowded with people coming to watch.
Of course, they were not here to see the Grand Canal, the so-called "imperial miracle".
For the vast majority of ordinary people who may never leave the imperial capital, the figure of 2,500 kilometers is just a pale and illusory figure. It is far less real and tangible than the shock brought by this huge dragon boat in front of them.
"Mailard" dressed as a lady, accompanied by two maids "Cassandora" and "Gilbert", walked elegantly through the VIP passage separated by guards and arrived at the boarding gate of the pier.
Ship point.
Looking up, the dozens of stories high dragon boat is like a towering castle on the water. The shadow it casts covers the entire dock, giving people the illusion of blocking out the sky and the sun.
"Zhiwei sees that the empire is still the same behemoth. With Master Nightmare, the game is really getting more and more interesting."
"Sister Maillard." The four-armed maid "Cassandora" leaned forward. To cover up her unique four arms, the first two forearms were wrapped around her and hidden in a special maid uniform.
The extraordinary stature attracted many unfavorable looks from around her, which made her very annoyed, "Tell me, how did Lord Nightmare know about Esdeath's secret matter of sending three beast warriors to assassinate important ministers in the court?
?Could it be that besides us, Lord Night Dire has other channels for information?"
"Maillard" turned his head and glanced at her lightly: "Cassandora, the killer is just a knife. As long as it is sharp enough, it will never be abandoned... Don't think about other things. If you think too much, you will
Let this knife become dull."
Seeing that "Cassandora" was scolded, the strange maid "Gilbert" quickly changed the topic and said: "Sister Maillard, have you discovered the three beast warriors and the people who attacked at night?"
"Maillard" closed his eyes, and the Teigu [Five-Sighted Omnipotent Observer] covered under the wide-brimmed hat continued to rotate. The thick ship plank gradually became transparent in the field of vision, and thousands of crew members and passengers seemed to be suspended in the air.
Unobstructed view.
"Found it. The three beast warriors have entered the cabin and are on standby now. They probably plan to wait until the middle of the voyage before taking action. Let me see who Night Raid sent here... Huh?"
In "Maillard's" field of vision, there was a blond girl who looked like a rich girl.
Although the other party's disguise was so disguised that there were almost no flaws, but with the "see-through" ability of the [Five Visions Observer], the thick long black hair under the wig could be clearly seen.
"It's been so long, Chitong."
"Maillard"'s tongue inadvertently licked her lips, and her charming charm caused several distracted men to bump into each other one after another.
"The person sent for this night attack is Chi Tong?!"
"Cassandora" and "Gilbert" changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Not fear, but anger.
It can be said that the collapse of the former Oberg Assassin's Association was caused by "Red Eyes".
After "Mailard" captured "Red Eyes", he wanted to train her to be his successor. The Oberg Maid Group also regarded "Red Eyes" as a partner, but they did not expect that "Red Eyes" would pretend to waver and delay.
During this time, he secretly contacted the Imperial Assassination Force and the Four Rakshasa Ghosts of the Imperial Fist Temple, and they cooperated internally and externally to defeat the secret headquarters of the association.
"Maillard" may not care, but the two of them will never forget the hatred of their home being destroyed and their companions being killed.
What makes them even more angry is that "Red Eyes" has now joined the night attack!
Why, we were also helping the Dove Life Army back then! You, a bastard, betrayed us to the empire, and then backhandedly washed your hands and joined the Dove Life Army. What the hell is going on?! Co-authored by our Oberg
All the people died in vain? You just followed the empire all the way to the dark side, and I wouldn’t be as aggrieved as I am now...
The two maids were playmates who grew up with "Maillard". How could "Maillard" not feel their emotional changes? She smiled and reassured: "Hate is an emotion that should not belong to killers, don't forget it.
Our mission this time must not delay Lord Nightmare’s business.”
"Yes, please keep this in mind."
After all, the two maids were killers who had been professionally trained by Oberg, and they quickly controlled their emotions.
After showing the tickets obtained through special channels to the guards at the end of the passage, the three "Mailard" boarded the stairs on the side of the ship and were led by the waiter to the corresponding cabin.
After closing the cabin door, the small ordinary cabin suddenly became quiet.
"Maillard" pulled off the obstructive lady's outfit, revealing the black killer outfit underneath, and sat on the bed with her slender white hair tilted up.
"The goal of the three beast warriors is to assassinate, and the goal of the night attack is to protect. There will inevitably be a fierce battle between the two. The mission given to us by the Night Dire-sama is to wait for an opportunity to snatch their imperial weapons when the two sides fight to the death."
…
Yes, this is the task Luo Jie gave to the "Maillard" group.
The journey on the dragon boat is an extremely important plot in the original work of "Zhan Hong".
The protagonist "Tazmi" and the Teigu user "Brand" who controls the armor and is haunted by evil spirits are ordered to disguise themselves and board the dragon ship to protect several conscientious ministers of the empire. They thought it was just an ordinary task, but they did not expect to encounter something
The Teigu user team "Three Beastmen" sent by "Esdeath".
[Water Dragon Possession: Black Marin]'s Imperial Equipment user "Liva".
[Military Dream Scream]'s Teigu user "Niwu".
[Two Great Axes Belvak]'s imperial weapon "Daidas".
In this three-on-two disparity battle, the night attack side finally won a tragic victory at the cost of "Brand"'s death.
"Tazmi" inherited the mantle of "Brand" after this battle and officially became the Teigu user of [Armor Operator: Haunted by Demons].
If it is in a normal multi-player task, this kind of missing behavior is difficult to achieve.
After all, there are players in both Empire and Night Raid. Everyone knows that this fight to the death on the dragon ship, after each increases their combat power, will often turn into a big melee with dozens of people... And the scumbag without the Teigu is basically
All were killed.
If you want to miss out on this plot in a single-player mission, it is actually a very desperate act.
The operation of the fantasy world is similar to the so-called parallel universe, and the big plot trends may not be affected, but for things like battles that are ever-changing, the outcome may not be fixed.
Especially the kind of battle that is won by luck, the result may be random.
Based on Luo Jie's experience in his previous life, in the absence of any external interference, there is more than an 80% chance that the "Three Beast Warriors" would be completely wiped out by the "Night Attack" with no or minor injuries in this battle on the dragon boat.
Unless you are very lucky, you will not be able to catch up with the result in the original work where there is only one protagonist left.
Even so, if you want to snatch the Teigu dropped by the "Three Beast Warriors", you have to consider whether you can defeat "Tazmi" who is equipped with [Operation Armor: Evil Ghost Haunted] under the aura of the protagonist.
Besides, the situation is different this time.
"Tazmi" who was supposed to be partnered with "Brand" was deceived by Luo Jie into going back to his hometown in the Northeast to grow potatoes long before the plot of the original work began.
Although Luo Jie didn't know which member of the Night Raid would be replacing "Tazmi", the change in personnel would inevitably add uncertainty to the outcome of the battle, which was already in the state of Schrödinger's family cat.
Therefore, Luo Jie gave "Mailard" a lot of room for independent decision-making before setting off. It is good to grab more Teigu, but if the situation does not allow it, then just grab one.
Teigu [operating armor·haunted by evil spirits].
…
Considering that "Red Eyes" recognized the faces of everyone in Oberg, "Mailard" temporarily changed its original plan and did not board the deck with "Cassandora" and "Gilbert", but continued to stay in the cabin.
Through the [Five Vision Omnipotent Observer], he monitors every move of the five people from both the "Three Beast Warriors" and the "Night Raid".
As the huge dragon ship gradually moved away from the imperial capital, "Mailard" suddenly noticed that among the "Three Beastmen" in the cabin, a petite boy as beautiful as a girl, smiled and put the flute in his hand to his mouth
.
Immediately afterwards, a flute sound as beautiful and soothing as a bird singing in the sky spread throughout the cabin, and the thick partition wall could not weaken it at all.
"Maillard" quickly pulled out two needles and pierced his eardrum without hesitation.
The four-armed maid "Cassandora" and the strangely powerful maid "Gilbert" followed suit and took the same action.
That is not an ordinary flute, but the [Military Dream Scream], a special type of Teigu that uses music to control human emotions and states.
Simply plugging your ears can't stop the Teigu's voice from coming in. The only way to avoid being controlled is to completely destroy your hearing.
Of course, they were not worried about being unable to recover, because God Oberg had promised to use his divine power to treat them.
"Sister Maillard, what's the situation on the deck now?"
Although they cannot hear sounds, lip reading is also one of the required courses for killers. The communication between the three of them has not been greatly affected by the loss of hearing.
"Everyone fainted, including "Red Eyes"... "Brand" was very smart and stabbed his thigh on his own, relying on pain and willpower to resist the lethargic state of [Military Music Dream·Screaming]."
"Then why doesn't "Red Eyes"..."
"Cassandora" stopped mid-sentence, realizing that she had asked a very stupid question.
The weapon of "Red Eyes" is [Kill with one strike, Murasame]. If you give yourself a knife, you will die immediately...
"It seems that the worst case scenario has occurred." "Maillard" temporarily retracted his attention to the deck, and his solemn gaze swept over the faces of "Cassandora" and "Gilbert", ""Brand
"It is impossible for one person to fight against three Teigu users. Killing or seriously injuring one is already the limit, so be prepared. Once the battle is decided, we will take over the next battle immediately!"
