Chapter 2937 The Morning That Never Returns (Twelve)
Chapter 2937 The morning that never returns (12)
"Switch the entire ship to live ammunition bombardment and attack it with live ammunition." Iron Mask No. 9 ordered as soon as he discovered that the battleship's artillery fire was ineffective.
It was as if he had command of the entire battleship.
Wait, he does have it. That's King Arthur. The king of Great Britain naturally has this authority.
Mutt frowned. So now that we have reached this point, why is this guy still unwilling to take off his mask?
"We...really have to go." There was gunfire outside the cabin, and Mutt said depressedly.
The live ammunition, that is, the giant solid alloy warhead with a caliber of 10 feet, driven by the photon explosion engine, slammed heavily into the wonderful thorny ball.
But they didn't even have a chance to get close to the ball. As soon as they got close to it, they were affected by some kind of distortion, and the trajectory began to deflect. Like the beam cannon just now, they fell to the ground. Some of the warheads even ricocheted.
, flew towards the battleship and almost hit the battleship where Mutt and the others were.
——That's not due to luck. The protective shield on the battleship's side is open. It's just that the protective shield deflected the trajectory of the alloy warhead.
"That thing... is a protective shield?" So Mutt also came to the same conclusion. There seemed to be some kind of extremely powerful protective shield spread out near the strange crimson thorn ball, blocking all attacks.
"It's not like that." Iron Mask Man No. 9 said, seeming to have another opinion.
In other words, it is different from the appearance of all the protective shields they have seen before. The photon protective shields or protective shields generated by the barrier generator all have something in common. The strong shield can even see a layer of light with the naked eye.
The wall - it is the excess light emitted by high concentration of photons. Even if the ordinary shield is almost invisible at ordinary times, when it is attacked, the attacked part will glow, which is also the excess light generated by stimulation.
And that black thing... is more like some kind of space distortion? In short, it is not a human technology, nor is it a "defense wall" produced by a barrier generator.
"All fleets retreat. Stay away from that thing!" Iron Mask Man No. 9 ordered. His intuition told him that the red thorn ball was very dangerous.
"You," he turned to Mutt and Gusta, "go to the Seventh Machinery Warehouse. Your cavalry is there. Get ready to go on the cavalry. When the time comes, they will naturally open the door of the warehouse. Tie
Good seat belt, don't get thrown out of the battleship!"
Mutt and Gusta looked at each other, nodded, and ran out despite the violent shaking of the ship (the so-called running was just running while holding on to the wall).
There was still guidance along the way. Moreover, the battleship was brightly lit, and it didn't take much effort for them to find the mechanical warehouse mentioned by the man in the iron mask. There were only five or six iron cavalry inside, and they were all on fixed stands.
It has not been released. It seems that Great Britain only used artillery bombardment and did not send cavalry to attack Lviv. Perhaps it was to avoid irritating the Orc coalition?
Mr. Gusta's cavalry was also there, and it was fixed on the bracket. It was already ready and filled with fuel. The two of them jumped on the cavalry and had just fastened their seat belts and were about to set off. At this moment, the battleship shook violently again.
.If Mutt hadn't been wearing a seat belt, he would have almost been thrown out.
"Hmm..." Gusta groaned.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay...the wound is just a little cracked." The tiger man replied.
That was the injury from yesterday, the injury that almost killed Gusta. The injury had obviously been cured by the medical cabin, but it split open again under this impact.
...Or maybe it has something to do with today's too intense competition. Mr. Gusta worked hard today, probably for this reason.
"Let me drive the iron cavalry." Mutter said, his attitude still very tough.
"No. I promised you I would protect you."
"Take care of your own wounds first. How can you ride a metal cavalry freely with injuries on your body? If the plane crashes, both of us will die."
The tiger man was silent for a few seconds.
"Very good. But you must pay attention to safe driving."
"I'm not a child!" Mutt said angrily, climbed from the back seat to the front, and squeezed Gusta into the back.
"Does the wound... hurt?" he asked.
"It's okay." Gusta was bandaging the wound, applying a sticky medical gel to his chest, and then wrapping the bandage himself. He was doing this very skillfully, as if he had been injured since a long time ago.
"I'm sorry." The cat boy lowered his ears and whispered.
"There is no need to apologize." Gusta said: "I protect you because I want to protect you. This is not your fault."
Despite what he said. Mutt turned around, his back to Gusta and sighed secretly. If he had been stronger back then, he wouldn't have needed the tiger man to protect him. Even now, he still hates this weakling.
The self, the self that always needs others to protect it.
Is he still going to protect Albert when he is so weak? How arrogant is he? But he can't do it. If he doesn't do some things now, he will definitely regret it in the future.
Boom! There was another violent impact outside the battleship, shaking Mutt so much that he was almost thrown out.
The alarm bells sounded, and the war situation seemed to be more serious than imagined.
And a voice also sounded on the loudspeaker in the corner of the machinery warehouse: "The door of the seventh machinery warehouse will open in ten seconds, please be prepared. Ten, nine——"
Mutt activated the iron cavalry so that it could fly out at any time.
"Eight, seven, six——"
"We'll handle it here. Go find the person you want, kid." The voice of Man in the Iron Mask No. 9 was mixed into the radio: "What you want to do, you must follow through to the end and make it a journey without regrets."
"Five, four, three——"
"Try to do everything you can. No matter if the result is good or bad, happy or sad."
"Two, one, the hatch is open!"
Whoosh!! The air outside rushed in like a violent wind, and the outside world had been soaked in a burst of darkness, making it difficult to see east, west, north, and south. When the fixed bracket of the iron cavalry was lifted, Mutt also stepped on the accelerator, allowing the iron cavalry to rush out. He
The iron cavalry swooped into the dark night sky with a whooshing sound, moving straight forward in the dark fog that could not be seen clearly, and finally broke through the darkness.
"Where's Lvov...?" The cat boy driving the iron cavalry turned his head and looked behind him. In that airspace, everything was shrouded in darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. The battleships of Great Britain were also in that darkness.
Within the scope, it was impossible to know what the situation was like. Mutt only knew that in the center of the darkness was the huge crimson ball of thorns, and that it was making some kind of "attack" on those battleships.
"They will be destroyed," Gusta whispered.
"They will find a way to reverse the situation." Mutter said: "After all, it is the [Iron Mask No. 9] who directs everything."
Gusta did not reply, not sure whether he was agreeing or remaining pessimistic.
"Where are you going next?" The tiger man asked after the cavalry had driven a long distance.
"Meerson stone," Mutt replied.
"Why the Mersonite? Do you think Mr. Albert would go there?"
"Because he has nowhere else to go, that is his first step." The cat boy affirmed.
——In other words, [Guardian Tower] is Albert's primary target. Everything originated from that place.
At the same time, the former territory of the Cat People, Melson Stone.
Albert, who had already set off first, also arrived at his destination.
He let the iron cavalry land at the edge of a small lake outside the Meersen Stone City. As soon as he jumped off the iron cavalry, Tiger turned his head and glanced at the mysterious crystal tomb next to him.
The cat-man boy Luff was sleeping peacefully in the Crystal Tomb. It seemed like centuries had passed since the last time they brought Luff's body back for burial in the Melson Stone.
"I'm back." Albert said to himself, took out a bouquet of flowers prepared in advance from his storage pocket, and placed it in front of the crystal tomb: "Wait for me a little longer, Ruf. Wait until this is over."
In the future, when all the monsters in the Dawn Region have been wiped out and there are no more monsters running rampant everywhere, I will let your people return to this place.
No one needs to hide anymore, or live under the protective glow of the Guardians.
No one needs to sacrifice themselves to support [Tower of the Guardian] or [Summer of Love], everyone can live freely.
The beautiful day you have been looking forward to will one day come true. I promise."
He turned his head and looked at the [Guardian Tower] in the distance.
Once upon a time, that tower was dedicated to the Lord White Dragon God, or in other words, the holder of the Holy Grail fragment. The Lord White Dragon God on that tower kept sacrificing his own mind to let the Tower of Guardians shine and protect the entire world.
Melsonite.
The person responsible for guarding the White Dragon God's mind and preventing it from completely collapsing is Rouf's mother, a witch. The witch's mind will continue to be destroyed over a long period of time, and will eventually collapse.
But now, all this is a thing of the past. The once glorious Guardian Tower has become a dull building. The White Dragon God is dead, Rufu's mother has also been sent away, and even the entire Melson
The residents of Stone also had to leave this city that was no longer guarded and immigrated to Great Britain... to live under the shelter of others.
They lost their home. And as long as there are monsters running rampant in the Dawn Region, the cat people will never be able to return to their former home.
Albert walked towards the Guardian Tower, and the entire road was empty. He didn't see a single person or any monsters. This was temporary. Because of the [Great Hunting Festival], all the monsters in the Dawn Region were...
I was lured to Lviv. But once the Great Hunting Festival is over, new monsters will definitely appear and wander around this area in a few days.
He stepped inside the Guardian Tower and used the flame rosin smeared on the blade to illuminate the already dark tower.
This is where it all started, and if his guess is correct, there must be some kind of device in the Guardian Tower that can affect the Holy Grail fragments and make them work - just like the Lviv Central Temple.
"Xiao Bai." He ordered. The Holy Spirit White Tiger appeared behind him, and the white tiger held the Holy Grail fragment in his hand.
The bracelet-like prop was emitting an extremely weak light, almost invisible under the firelight, but it could not escape Albert's sharp gaze.
Sure enough. Bringing [Summer of Love] here is the most correct choice. Using the "energy" provided by this Guardian Tower, Albert may be able to activate [Summer of Love] again and find the next [Summer of Love].
Origin point].
While he was making his wishful thinking, he also noticed the aura of someone in the Guardian Tower.
"Come out, sneak attacks are of no use to me," he said.
As a result, a figure gradually walked out of the darkness and appeared majestically in front of Albert.
"Oh, of course." The tiger man hummed: "You are an artificial human. If they can make one, they can naturally make a second one."
He looked at the replica of the special G-class hunter in front of him, the assassin master [Stinging Pickman], and hummed. (To be continued)
