The shelling continued for another three days, and although the Orin tree was crumbling, there was no sign of it toppling over.
So Bonifaxiu became ruthless and ordered all the mortars that were still under repair in the warehouse to be transported out, and there was a "fire of ten thousand guns" to completely destroy Olin City's defense system as soon as possible.
The tense preparations for war in the city lasted for a long time, but the objects that the two sides wanted to prepare for were completely different. It had to be said that it was really weird.
That afternoon, Hood was sitting on a chair outside, watching TV, when suddenly a snowflake-like signal appeared on the TV screen.
The snowflakes just disappeared for a moment and soon returned to normal.
After a while, another snowflake covered the entire screen.
Is there something wrong with the TV? Hood removed the wall-mounted TV from the wall and began to disassemble and inspect it.
The result of the inspection was that all circuit components seemed to have unstable resistance.
Just as Hood was scratching his head, Asker's voice sounded from the door of the room.
"What are you doing?"
"The TV is broken," Hood said. "It seems like all these parts need to be replaced. It's troublesome."
"Oh, the TV is broken." Asik suddenly seemed to remember something, "Broken? There is something wrong with all the parts?"
"Well, maybe it's due to internal aging." Hood said uncertainly. All components aging at the same time? This is really strange.
I saw Aske immediately calling all the girls out and solemnly announcing:
"Everyone, take out your cell phones."
Girls:???
"If there is any important information on your phone, take a notebook and write it down for backup. Print the pictures as soon as possible, but there is nothing you can do about the sounds. While your phone is still there, listen to it more."
"Asker?" Nora asked strangely, "Why do we need to back up our mobile phone information? Is someone going to confiscate our mobile phones?"
"No." Asik was about to explain when he saw Quintus walking in from outside the military camp.
"The demon tide has been advanced and is expected to arrive around 6:30 tonight. Has Miss Paige mastered her swordsmanship?"
"Not yet." Asik shook his head and said, "It came too fast. According to the plan, it may not be in time."
Quintus sighed, took an object from his waist, and handed it over.
"What is this?" Aske asked.
"Goldfinger," said Quintus.
"What golden finger?"
"Something to help Miss Paige improve her stealing ability." Quintus said.
Asker picked up the object and found that it seemed to be a model of the index finger cast in gold. The nails, finger pads, fingerprints... every detail was lifelike.
"Try it?" Ask handed it to Peggy.
"How do I use this?" Paige asked.
"Just inspire it spiritually," Ask said.
Peggy tried to extend her spirituality. As soon as she touched the golden finger, she felt the spirituality in her mind open like water, and her perception seemed to be much sharper for a while.
She can even "see" all high-value things in the room, such as the melt knife on her waist, the Imperial Eagle on Ask's waist, the small pendant in Eleanor's underwear, etc., all in her field of vision.
Shining with the light of "high value".
Just by focusing your attention, you can roughly estimate the value of the other party.
However, the one who shone the brightest was Nora. She was wearing seemingly ordinary clothes, skirt, shoes, underwear, a watch on her hand, a hairpin in her hair, and the notebook and pen in her backpack.
All of them are shining with the terrifying brilliance of "sky-high prices".
Paige was almost blinded by the sight.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Peggy's eyes were red and tears were rising from the corners of her eyes, Ask asked quickly, "Why are you crying?"
They have brought out all the extraordinary items, but if they still don’t work for you, then it will be really troublesome.
"It's nothing." Peggy wiped her eyes, "I just feel poor."
Ask:………………
Focus your attention back on yourself, concentrate on meditating on your own image, and then use your soaring "stealing ability" to pull it outward hard.
"Come out!" the girls cheered.
Peggy looked closely and realized that there was a "self" standing next to her. No matter the facial features, body details, clothes, pants, and boots, everything was exactly the same.
There is a strange feeling connecting the two. Paige can feel that the other person comes from her own mind. As long as her thoughts move slightly, the other person will follow the corresponding actions.
"Great." Quintus said eagerly, "Follow me to the top of the tree immediately to set up defenses."
When the Cangqing Sword mercenary group arrived at the top of the tree, they saw mages running around all around.
It was around 6:20 in the afternoon, and the Crusader bombardment from the bottom of the mountain seemed to have weakened. Judging from the traces of smoke floating on the plain, everyone must have gone to eat for the time being.
However, Olin City is not in the mood for dinner at all. The mages are adjusting the magic circle, calculating and modeling, and the garrison guards are constantly running around, moving equipment here and there according to the instructions of the mages.
The Spartans took their men to various locations in the city to set up defenses.
The girls of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group were boredly backing up information on the top of the tree, while watching the artillery fire coming from below the mountain, exploding on the scale array on the outer layer of the Orin tree, blooming into a cloud of gunpowder smoke.
Brilliant flowers composed of firelight.
"What does the demonic tide look like?" Nora asked curiously, sitting next to Ask.
"It's the mysterious phenomenon that your mobile phone, pad, laptop, and all other electronic devices are all burned out in an instant." Ask replied.
Nora:………………
"What should we do?" she asked confused.
"So I asked you to use paper as a backup." Asker said, "Don't believe anything that is electrically charged. Everything will be destroyed after the magic wave. The only things that can be saved are the notes and your brain."
Before he finished speaking, all the surrounding lights went out.
The city of Olympia has stopped all electricity-related production activities and then cut off all power supplies.
"There is a power outage in Olympia!" As the light around the Olympus tree dimmed, such news began to spread wildly among the Crusaders.
They firmly believed that it was because of the Crusaders' artillery bombardment that the power supply in Olympus City was overwhelmed, which led to the city-wide blackout.
As a result, the Crusaders' offensive became increasingly fierce.
On the top of the tree, Nora looked at the dimming sky with boredom, and suddenly pointed to the top of her head and said:
"Hey, Captain!"
"Um?"
"Look at the moon tonight. Why does it look a little red?" Nora asked.
"Indeed." Asik observed carefully, and it seemed that the moonlight was really red.
"And it seems that the moon is bigger than before." Nora said strangely.
