The various attributes and most abilities of the Dragon Turtle did not exceed Gao Fei's expectations.
If the two sides fight on land, Gao Fei is confident that he can defeat this old turtle.
However, the trouble is that the dragon turtle's home base is located in a reservoir that is at risk of collapse at any time. It also has "iron will" and its will save is surprisingly high. You cannot expect to use "taunting" or other means to lure it to land.
There are two hidden dangers in fighting in water.
First of all, the dragon turtle realizes that it cannot be defeated and immediately sinks to the bottom of the lake to hide. What should you do?
Diving into the water to chase?
The red dragon fights the dragon turtle underwater. Frankly speaking, this is suicide!
This is not what Gao Fei is most worried about.
The only spell this old dragon turtle is good at is the fourth-level "water control" spell, and it is precisely this spell that makes it almost invincible in the reservoir!
…
Manipulate water bodies: Range 400 feet, 40 feet/level, lasts 10 minutes/level, by maintaining concentration on casting, you can control water bodies within the range to make them rise, fall, divert, turn, or stir up whirlpools.
…
The Dragon Turtle's spellcasting level is 20. By casting "Control Water", it can control the surrounding lake water up to 400 meters (1200 feet), which is about 0.5 square kilometers.
Compared with the more than 200 square kilometers of water in Guozhuang Reservoir, the rise and fall of water levels within a mere 0.5 square kilometers seems to have little impact.
However, Gao Fei also noticed that Dragon Turtle is also good at the metamagic feat "Spell Expansion".
…
Spell expansion: Spend an additional 2 magic points when casting a spell to double the coverage radius of the spell effect.
…
For spells with metamagic feats, the total magic power consumed must not exceed the spellcasting level.
Dragon Turtle Casting Level 20.
Level 4 "Control Water", the basic mana cost is 9 points.
There is an 11-point difference between the two.
This also means that the Dragon Turtle can add up to 5 layers of "Spell Expansion" to "Control Water"!
2 to the 5th power is 32 times!
A simple calculation shows that when casting spells at full power, the Dragon Turtle can control water bodies within a radius of 9.6 kilometers around it, covering an area of 289 square kilometers.
This has greatly exceeded the total area of Guozhuang Reservoir!
In other words, as long as the Dragon Turtle is willing, he can overturn the river in the reservoir at any time, control the torrent and collapse the dam, causing tens of thousands of families and buildings downstream of the reservoir to suffer disaster, and the economic losses caused are immeasurable!
Precisely because he held this trump card that was like a "nuclear bomb" in his hand, Dragon Turtle had the confidence to ask for a huge price, asking for thousands of tons of gold as soon as he opened his mouth.
Gao Fei knew in his heart that the Xingzhou city government was unable to pay the sky-high ransom, and it was impossible for the Chinese government to accept such shameless blackmail.
As for the Heavenly Palace, there may be a way to use magic to forge gold and try to deceive the dragon turtle.
But if it sees through it and makes trouble out of shame, the consequences will be disastrous.
The only way to solve this problem is to solve the dragon turtle itself that raised the problem.
However, the problem now is, how can we quickly kill the dragon turtle before it activates "water body control"?
Looking at the huge size of the dragon turtle, the hard turtle shell covering all its vitals, and its 450 health points, Gao Fei racked his brains and couldn't think of any way to kill him with one blow.
Just when he was feeling worried secretly, the policewoman's call came to his ears.
"Gao Fei! The company commander is here! Let's return to the lake quickly and prepare to implement the battle plan!"
The combat plan formulated by Pojun Thirteen was so simple and crude that it exceeded Gao Fei's imagination.
To sum it up in one word, it’s “explosion”!
In his hands, he held a rectangular device as big as two schoolbags, with a metal shell painted grass green.
"This new type of bomb is a product of the combination of Blue Star military technology and Tiangong magic technology, codenamed 'Green Angel'."
Po Jun Thirteen handed the two "Green Angels" to Lin Qi and Liu Xingyu respectively, and then introduced:
"The biggest feature of this kind of magic bomb is that the shock wave generated at the moment of explosion attenuates very quickly, and the effective killing radius is only about 100 meters. However, the destructive power caused to the core detonation area is extremely huge!"
"How powerful is it?" Gao Fei asked the company commander curiously.
Pojun Thirteen thought for a moment and asked him: "You know about the individual tactical nuclear weapons developed during the Cold War, right? It is commonly known as the 'nuclear bomb backpack'."
"I've heard of it." Gao Fei nodded.
"The explosion yield of the 'Green Angel' is similar to that of a nuclear bomb backpack, equivalent to 1,000 tons of t*t."
"..." Gao Fei was speechless for a moment.
"I know what you are worried about," Po Jun Thirteen said with a smile in his eyes, "Do you know why this thing is called the 'Green Angel'? Don't worry, this bomb will not produce nuclear radiation, it is green and harmless."
"Company Commander, the joke you told is not clever..." Gao Fei really couldn't laugh, "Actually, I'm more worried about blowing up the reservoir dam."
"According to our calculations, as long as the bomb is dropped correctly, the reservoir dam will not be endangered." Liu Xingyu continued, "The so-called 'correct drop', to be precise, is to try to stuff the bomb into the belly of the dragon turtle, and then put it in the belly of the dragon turtle.
Detonated inside the body."
"The dragon turtle's shell is too hard and its blood is too thick. Only by blasting it inside the body can it be sure to kill with one hit." Lin Qi added.
"This sounds very reasonable, but the problem is, how do we put the bomb into the belly of the dragon turtle?" Gao Fei joked casually, "Use magic to turn the bomb into snacks and give it to the old turtle as a gift.
?"
"This idea is very interesting, but it's a pity that the dragon turtle is very vigilant and may not accept gifts from strangers, especially food." Liu Xingyu shrugged and spread his hands.
"The safer way is to send a person with a bomb, get into the dragon turtle's mouth when it is unprepared, and sneak into its belly to plant the bomb," the company commander said.
Gao Fei scratched his head. He didn't feel that the plan drawn up by the company commander had anything to do with the word "safe". It was more like calling it a reckless "suicide attack".
"Gao Fei, you and Lin Qi are responsible for luring the enemy and trying to attract the dragon turtle's attention so that Liu Xingyu has the opportunity to get into its belly and carry out the blasting mission." the company commander explained.
"Company Commander, I have a question!" Gao Fei couldn't help interrupting, "Brother Liu is going to specifically sneak into the dragon turtle's belly, but don't tell me that you haven't figured it out yet and plan to adapt accordingly!"
"Xiao Gao, do you think I will be the kind of person who recklessly makes fun of my own life?" Liu Xingyu couldn't help laughing, "I have prepared two plans for carrying out this task. I can't say that I am sure of it, but I am at least 70% sure."
"Brother Liu, what are you going to do?" Gao Fei became more and more curious.
"When you and Lin Qi challenge the dragon turtle, it is very likely that the dragon turtle will open its mouth and spit out hot steam, and the moment the breath ends, it is a good time to get into its mouth."
