Three hundred and twentieth eight chapters in the storm
The moment the Daoud hit the rooftop, Jita lost her hand and was knocked out. Fortunately, a hand stretched out from the side to steady her. The owner of the hand was none other than the box. The boy's hat had already been
It was blown away, and now a head of black hair was flying in the wind, and the silver mask underneath was also looming.
He was holding the rope that tied the air bag with one hand and was standing firmly on the deck. In the strong wind, his cloak spread out like a black flag behind him, with a sword and a staff at his waist. But he was not looking at this person at the moment.
direction, and fell outside the airship.
Jita looked at this scene in shock, with a trace of confusion in her eyes at first, but she soon came to her senses, and suddenly she whispered: "The leader is still down there!"
Luo Hao lay on the side of the ship and looked down. He saw a vast expanse of yellow sand, and even the Bein Fortress quickly turned into a dense shadow. Where could he see the shadow of the captain? He then turned around and said:
The two said: "The leader can't come up. Our top priority is to escape from this place and find other people - preferably someone from Her Highness the Princess to rescue him."
Box turned back to look at him, the calm expression on his face probably meant: Why are you telling me this?
Jita knew it very well and quickly asked: "What should we do?"
"We must first find a way to save this ship. Although it is difficult, we have to try." Luo Hao replied: "Take Miss Afifa down. This ship is too big, and Luo Yu, a mage commander, cannot control it.
Guy Generator.”
The two of them couldn't help but look at Miss Mystic, whom Luo Hao had brought up. The latter still looked at a loss, and it was obvious that the previous surprise was beyond her expectation.
Seeing everyone looking over, Afifah quickly waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about me. I'll just go there with you. I won't cause you any trouble."
Although the others were a little surprised by her identity and behavior, they could probably guess that it was because of Fang Yu. Luo Hao glanced at the young lady and didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.
As for Luo Hao's proposal, Xiangxiang also nodded. He is not responsible for analyzing the situation. He only needs someone to tell him what to do and where the enemy is. This is in line with his identity as a ruthless killer.
The two of them then got off the deck.
In the distance, Little Fatty Wu was lying on the bow of the boat. At this moment, as if he had seen something that frightened him to the extreme, he straightened up from the side of the boat, turned around, and shouted angrily:
"It's about to hit!"
The sound was distorted in the wind.
Luo Hao looked in that direction against the wind and sand, his eyes condensed slightly, but the next moment, his expression also changed drastically. He saw a huge shadow in front of him suddenly separated from the gravel in the sky, and appeared in front of everyone - as mentioned before
The city of Bein is built on a huge rock platform, and these towering rock mountains now lie across the channel that the Daoud must pass through, obviously becoming a fatal threat.
At this moment, the airship is only a few hundred meters away from the shadow, and in this bad weather, the distance between the two is approaching rapidly, but they will collide in the blink of an eye.
Luo Hao looked to the left and right and shouted decisively: "Raise the left jib sail."
The Daoud is a large ship with fifteen pairs of jibs. These sails are located on the side of the hull or on the bottom of the ship - they can't reach the bottom of the ship, but the sails on one side of the hull are controlled by forty-eight steering wheels on the deck, each of which is controlled by forty-eight steering wheels on the deck.
Two steering wheels control one sail. Of course, people like them cannot handle a large ship of this level, but the dust storm around them is so fierce that they can push the Daoud forward without a sail. In this way
Under the weather, everything can naturally be made simple.
As long as one side of the sail is raised, this violent dust storm can push the Daoud to turn to avoid obstacles.
Several magicians had already gone down to the core control cabin below, but there were other members of Rufu's Shield on the deck. Including him, there were exactly five people in total. In his imagination, each person controlled a steering wheel.
It only takes three rounds to open all the side sails. Luo Hao shouted and rushed to the nearest steering wheel, but once he got started, he found that it was not that simple——
It turns out that the sail control device of the Daoud is much simpler than expected. Just like a real sailboat, it just raises and lowers the sail through rigging. A cable thicker than an arm passes through the metal ring on the top of the sail. There are
There are three cables, and the directions of these three cables are controlled by two winches. The main body of the winch is located on the hull below, and only the steering wheel is exposed on the deck.
Luo Hao rushed over and pushed with his hands as hard as he could, but found that he was not moving at all. Others were obviously in the same situation at this time. Everyone raised their heads and looked at each other, with panic in their eyes.
.At this moment, in the wind and sand ahead, a huge shadow is gradually approaching, including the entire Daoud.
zxc looked back at the desperate shadow, probably out of survival instinct, he turned around and shouted:
"Everyone gather together!"
Before he finished speaking, he was the first to rush to Luo Hao's side, and then put his hands on the handle of the steering wheel. The two of them tried hard to make the steering wheel move only slightly, but when it was slightly loosened, it bounced back. The others saw
They all reacted one after another and rushed over to help. When the fourth person arrived, the steering wheel finally made a tooth-piercing squeak, and then suddenly released - and the steering wheel was
From tight to loose, it finally started to spin on its own.
Because when the sail was unfolded, the strong wind pushed it completely from behind, and the cable was moved behind it.
A member of Rufu's Shield next to the steering wheel was caught off guard and was thrown straight away. Fortunately, there was a large net made of rigging in front of him.
The fate of falling into the dust storm outside.
The man narrowly escaped death with a look of shock. He clearly knew that if he fell from this height, there would be no other possibility besides being smashed into pieces. Although death in Aitaria is not a problem for the chosen ones,
Nothing, it's just that this way of death makes people shudder when thinking about it.
Luo Hao didn't look back: "Don't worry about him, continue. Climb down there yourself, and others will learn their lesson and be careful."
At this time, it was obvious that what everyone needed was such a backbone. The fat man from the military rushed straight to the next steering wheel, and the others followed him.
After the first sail was raised, the hull of the ship shook slightly. When there was still no sign of turning, the sail shook violently, making a worrying loud noise. Wu Xiaopang couldn't help but look in that direction, for fear of
Because the wind was too strong, the jib sail was blown off. His worries were not unreasonable. The sail was shaking more and more frequently. Obviously, if they didn't raise the other sails quickly, it would be completely possible.
Torn from the hull.
But among the crowd, only Luo Hao remained calm and kept a calm face. He rushed to the second steering wheel and pushed hard. When others arrived one after another, the sail made a loud noise again and tightened suddenly.
open.
After the second sail was opened, the Daoud's hull showed a slight sign of turning, but it was also undetectable. Everyone looked forward. After this short delay, the airship was getting closer to the giant shadow.
After a lot of walking, at this moment, the outline of the mountain behind could be seen clearly through the dust storm, and a huge feeling of oppression came to my face.
The farthest distance will not exceed one chain. Due to the different shape of the anchor, the chain in Aitaria is much longer than that on Earth, about seven hundred meters. But this distance is at the current speed of the Daoud.
Below, a few breaths may be too short, but it will not exceed half a minute.
Luo Hao withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and immediately rushed to the third steering wheel.
"There's still a mile at most!"
Wu Xiaopang's voice was trembling, and his hands were trembling too.
The third sail was raised, and the Daoud began to turn significantly, but the speed was still very slow. Zxc squinted one eye and glanced at the bow of the ship - the horizontal mast extending from the bow had not yet moved out of the shadow range.
"There are still three hundred meters to go!"
Wu Xiaopang still couldn't help but look back.
Luo Hao glanced at this guy angrily and said coldly: "Shut up!"
Wu Xiaopang was startled, and looked at the others, but saw that the others also looked like they didn't want to see him, so he quickly shut up. After losing this stress monster, everyone suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and it didn't take long.
, the fourth sail was also hoisted, and then the fifth sail.
At this time, the airship had obviously turned in an arc, but it was still within the scope of the rocky mountains. They could even see the rugged rocks passing by. If the airship had not turned from the beginning, it would have almost turned around at this moment.
Hit.
There’s still less than a hundred and fifty meters to go——
The sixth sail was hoisted.
Everyone was tense and rushed to the next roulette wheel non-stop. This was not an easy task. Due to excessive exertion, everyone showed signs of weakness in their hands and feet to varying degrees. If they were on flat ground
, this is nothing, but after the six-sided sails were raised, the violent vibrations of the sails in the strong wind had already caused the entire Daoud, and the hull also swayed from side to side, and from time to time some people lost their footing and fell down.
Almost with the help of others, they managed to reach the seventh steering wheel, but the time was already much delayed than before.
The dividing line at the edge of the rocky mountain has clearly appeared in front. At this time, it was too late to raise the seventh sail. The collision or not was close to his eyes. Luo Hao turned around and shouted to everyone: "Hold on!"
He didn't know whether his efforts would really work. His previous efforts were just a desperate attempt, and no one knew whether they would succeed.
Fifty meters.
Ten meters.
The mountain was getting closer and closer, and the steep mountain wall was almost in front of everyone's eyes. Because the speed of the Daoud was so fast, almost everyone didn't have time to see clearly what happened, and then they felt a huge earthquake from the hull.
Came from the side. They seemed to hear a loud noise, but they had already been blown away before that. Luo Hao only had time to grab a cable that tied the air wave above, and he flew out horizontally, and then fell heavily.
On the deck.
But he immediately looked up - the airship had an obvious tilt, but the tilt did not amplify further, but showed signs of returning to level flight. With a move in his heart, he realized that they had succeeded. Although the Daoud had collided with
We went up the rocky mountain, but it was probably just a collision, not a head-on collision.
Otherwise they would have been shattered to pieces.
He didn't have time to worry about anything else, and he couldn't even care about where his shield had flown away - presumably he flew out of the boat. He hoped that no unlucky guy would go out in this weather and be shielded by him.
Shoot him to death or something like that - he rushed to the side of the ship in that direction and lowered his head to check the condition of the ship.
The situation of the Daoud is obviously very bad. Almost all the six raised sails were torn off in the impact, and it is now unknown. The remaining unraised sails are not much better, damaged.
After all, to put it simply, these sails cannot be counted on for a second time.
Fortunately, the hull itself was not too damaged, so it would not crash due to insufficient buoyancy.
He took another look ahead. After crossing the rocky mountain, there was a smooth road ahead - but as for where the Daoud would be blown by the storm, that was not something they could decide.
Luo Hao then turned around and looked at the others - there was one less person in the previous collision, but this was already a blessing. Since the Daoud took off in such weather,
They had managed to avoid this obstacle without any danger, and so far they had only lost one man.
In a sense, this is a miracle.
He waved his hand a little feebly and said to everyone: "It is not safe on the deck. There are no obstacles for the time being. Everyone should go below and just leave one person as a sentry."
Who is left to watch is obviously a difficult job, and staying on the deck is obviously the most dangerous position at this moment. But zxc looked at the others and suddenly said: "Let me do it, I am the most agile, staying on the deck is the safest
."
Luo Hao glanced at the other party without being polite and just nodded.
He and others came to the entrance of the cabin, opened the door and went down to the deck, all the way to the main control room of the Daoud, which is also the location of the magic engine. Luo Yu, Xiang and Jita heard the sound and turned around to look
Seeing him - Miss Naturalist seemed to have hit somewhere during the previous impact. There was a white cloth wrapped around her forehead, and there was faint blood oozing out from underneath.
Her face was a little pale, but it didn't look like she was injured. When she saw the others walking down, she opened her mouth and was about to speak. But Luo Yu had already spoken first: "You guys are just in time, come and take a look at these things."
."
"What?" Luo Hao was startled. "What happened down there?"
"The Bein people put a lot of explosives on the ship." Jita said with a worried voice.
"Explosives?" Luo Hao was shocked. "Where are they? Have they been dealt with?"
"In the main control room, Miss Afifah discovered it," Jita replied: "I just don't know why, they didn't detonate it."
Luo Hao was slightly startled, and suddenly looked at the mystic lady beside him.
…
After Mai Yixier watched the knights leave one by one, he closed the palace door, turned around and walked into the hall - this wind and sand have been blowing for a week, but these days, the wind has weakened significantly, and the streets
Pedestrians can already be seen. But under the weather, it is obvious that not many people are still in the mood to visit the temple of the God of War. Most people are still preparing to deal with the aftermath of this sandstorm.
Three days have passed since the miracle that night, but not many people actually witnessed that scene at that time. After all, in that kind of weather, few people would go out. However, the guards on the top of the city at that time,
There were also many knights, including the Governor, who witnessed the goddess' apparition.
This is the second time that the Governor has sent someone to ask about the situation here, but Mai Yishir still sent him away on the grounds that nothing happened. As the Lord of Bein City, Numan himself can also be regarded as Ma
He is half a follower of Ms. Ireland, so although he has doubts in his heart, he is too embarrassed to delve into it.
He couldn't order the knights to break into Malan's temple, because he was afraid that if this order continued, the knights themselves would be the first to explode.
However, the reason given by Mai Yixier is probably acceptable - the miracle of the goddess is closely related to this sandstorm that is rare in a century. In other words, the subtext is that the goddess is here.
A sandstorm protected Bein City. It is said that this rumor was recognized by most people in Bein City.
certainly--
Although the goddess protected Bein, many people still suffered disasters in this rare dust storm. In addition to the losses caused by the wind and sand itself, there were also some strange losses, such as someone's roof being damaged by the sky.
The falling shield pierced it, but fortunately no one was injured in the accident.
However, Fang Yu had a vague feeling that the Yue Daoud had something to do with this matter. The storm had gradually subsided, but he didn’t know whether the people on the Daoud had escaped or crashed somewhere outside the city.
.
He heard footsteps coming from behind, and then turned around to look, just in time to see Mai Yixier walking from the other end of the hall holding an oil lamp. Because the hall had accumulated a thick layer of sand during the storm,
, so this old knight also left a long series of footprints wherever he walked.
He looked at the other party, and of course he understood what the other party was doing, and asked:
"Are they from Bein Fortress again?"
Mai Yixier nodded.
"You let them go back again?"
"yes."
The knight passed him, walked to the altar, put down the oil lamp in his hand, then turned around and answered like this.
"But the sandstorm is about to end, you can't keep rejecting them, right?" Fang Yu thought for a moment. "They can't search for me in the city, and they will always associate this matter with me. By then
, this place is no longer safe for me."
Mai Yixier looked at him without saying a word.
Fang Yu then said: "Okay, what I mean is, is there any way you can send me out..."
