Chapter 285 Why Are You Looking at Me?

The airship was floating in the blue sky, getting closer and closer to the destination.

Standing in front of the viewing window, Clown could see the outline of the cultist base.

Without the help of any equipment, when he released his super vision, his detection range was comparable to that of a falcon.

In the world covered in silver, the scarlet area was so conspicuous.

The airship continued to move forward, and after a while, Clown could see the towering towers inside through the light shield.

Flanders put down the telescope and said in a puzzled way:

"That layer of red light should be considered a magic circle. It stands to reason that a temporary territory is not worth spending so much to build a magic circle."

Cavendi said: "Could it be that the cultists are building a permanent city to serve as a bridgehead for attack? This place is very close to the flat mountainous area outside, and we can attack or defend."

Crown smiled and said: "If so, the enemy has miscalculated. We are a team with air units."

In the holy war that took place in the last era, humans did not have the current technology. The tools they used were still simple bows and arrows, swords, spears and other weapons, and the smelting skills were also much worse.

If there is no evil god BUG-level pollution ability, human troops should have an advantage over the evil god's followers.

According to the experience of Earth civilization, war is the best catalyst for technology.

He thought about it and continued: "The popularization of education allows these ordinary people to play a huge role in war. I think it is necessary to compile more professional textbooks to liberate people's productivity."

Factories need more skilled workers. If the workers' education level is too low, it will affect production efficiency.

Unless the war enters the street fighting stage, it is still a battle of logistics and foundation.

No matter how strong the extraordinary is, without the right weapons, he will be defeated against ordinary people with artillery and guns.

Flanders shook his head gently: "When the evil god descends on the material world, ordinary people can only hide in the sanctuary area and tremble. This is the revelation brought to us by the last holy war.

This is why I didn't think highly of ordinary people's creations before. At the last moment, the competition is still high-level extraordinary people, shining silver warriors and holy marks gold-level gods.

Maybe these creations can make us fight the low-level evil god's followers much more smoothly, but after the evil god descends, these creations become potential threats.

Even if you are in the sanctuary, if you are too close to the evil god, ordinary people's dreams will be invaded by spiritual pollution."

Lannister handed the telescope to Yennefer behind him and said:

"At the beginning, ordinary people were too weak in mental strength. Small, unable to see the truth of the world, they will not feel the spiritual pollution, and ignorance becomes their umbrella of protection.

When the evil god came to the world, everything became different. The spiritual pollution of the evil god rose to a higher level. The weak mental power means that they have no resistance to the spread of the evil god's pollution.

Ordinary people have become an unstable variable. For the church, these people can provide the power of faith, so that the shelter you built has stronger defense, but the shelter cannot prevent ordinary people from being polluted. "

He secretly despised in his heart. These knowledge must be in the classics of the church, but Clown's ability is obviously in the breathing method, otherwise it is impossible to explain that a warrior can reach the silver level so quickly.

Clown did not reply. The golden light talisman water can drive away evil. The golden light talisman is attached to ordinary people, and the gray fog cannot cause harm to them.

With the advancement of the golden light spell, the effects of all talismans are further enhanced.

If there is no means for ordinary people to resist pollution, then create one. There was no such means before, but it does not mean that there will be no such means in the future.

Put it a few hundred years ago, the ancients at that time would never have thought that humans could actually fly in the blue sky with the help of tools.

Flanders noticed that the distance to the cult base was only four or five kilometers, and ordered:

"Notify the pilot to find a flatter place to land."

"Yes, sir," Harry agreed immediately and left quickly.

Soon, the airship began to circle and descend, and finally hovered in a valley full of gravel.

The accompanying troops equipped with flamethrowers climbed down the rope ladder and cleared an area for landing.

After the airship landed, Crown, who walked out, found that the snow here was more than two meters deep. It should be because the strong wind blew the snow on the hillside and piled it up here.

There were a total of three airships on the mission today, two small new airships and one large transport airship.

One of the fastest and most armored new airships was responsible for luring the enemy, and the large airship carried a large amount of baggage in case of an accident.

The airships landed one after another, and more and more soldiers walked out of the airships to clear the snow.

The ground full of gravel became muddy, and the soldiers used flamethrowers to dry the ground.

When everything was ready, Flanders asked, "Who is willing to go and lure the enemy?"

Silver-level transcendents cannot fly either, they can only use magic (holy power) to simulate wings for gliding, and the battle can only be carried out on the ground.

The reason why the silver-level strongmen were used to lure the enemy was to prevent the airship from reaching the designated location to land in case a very fast silver-level two-headed chimera appeared.

Lannister knew that he was here to work, and he directly stated, "Count me in."

Crown also raised his hand and said, "I'll go."

My two seniors are here, so it's best to do this kind of thing yourself.

The skin of the airship is reinforced with a double-layer magic circle, and the speed is fast enough, luring the enemy is not a very dangerous thing.

The Archbishop nodded and said, "Go early and come back early."

Crown and Lannister board the airship, accompanied by Geralt.

After the airship took off, Flanders ordered:

"The announcement continues, the combatants will stay, and the small airships will be on alert in the air nearby. If the enemy airship returns successfully, stay away immediately. The large airships will stay away now."

. . . .

As the airship headed northwest, Lannister asked:

"The airship you took last time was attacked several times by the two-headed Chimera. Do you know?"

Geralt shook his head slightly and said uncertainly:

"We were inside the airship, and we sensed seven or eight attacks from the vibrations of the attacks, but I'm not sure how many times we were hit, because Yennefer said that the Chimera's acid spray might not cause the airship to vibrate."

"It's okay, I'm just doing it as a reference." Lannister turned his head and discussed:

"The airship they are riding in has only one layer of magic circle skin. If we encounter a two-headed chimera, we can use the airship as a bait to consume their magic power. This will make the battle much easier."

Crown nodded slightly: "Okay, but don't take it off for fun."

If the airship crashed, he and the Lannister might be fine, but everyone else would most likely be dead.

In addition, airships are expensive to build. These are war resources in the Rhineland Parish, and it is painful to lose one.

"Don't worry, I won't risk our lives. We still need to be cautious. I will personally go to the cab to guide the driver."

The Lannister smiled and left.

Geralt was a little worried and said:

"Is it going to be a bit risky? The last time we arrived, visibility was low due to weather conditions, and there was only one Chimera in pursuit.

The weather is sunny today. If we are pursued by multiple flying units, things will be more troublesome. "

Crown said with relief: "Don't worry, how can you become a silver-level warlock without any sense of propriety?"

The airship flies at a low altitude and at a very slow speed. It would be best if the roaring sound can lure the enemy, so that they do not need to fly over the cultist base and the safety factor will be higher.

Crown leaned on the railing and released his super vision to observe the enemy's camp.

He could see the cultists coming and going in the base, building construction projects, and he was really preparing to stay there for a long time.

I don’t know if the red light mask has the effect of isolating temperature differences. Many cultists have their upper bodies exposed, and their lower bodies are only covered by half an animal skin, exposing their strong thighs.

His eyes moved and met the beholder on a stone tower.

A bit like an octopus, it wraps around the stone tower with its tentacles. It has a huge head and is densely covered with scarlet eyes.

The beholder seemed to be extremely sensitive to gaze. All its eyes immediately turned and stared directly in the direction of the airship.

Crown could feel that the beholder was looking at him.

He immediately felt his scalp tingling, not because of fear, but because of a natural physiological reaction.

‘Shit, I found it at a glance. The distance from here to the beholder is about three kilometers. ’

Enduring the discomfort, he opened the small window of the viewing room. Fortunately this was a slowed down airship, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to open the window.

In his right hand appeared a metal longbow as tall as a man, with a bronze bow body and silver-white bowstrings.

"Young man, if you get such a huge reaction at just one glance, why don't you let me reward you with a big one?"

Croun whispered to himself, and a two-meter-long light golden arrow appeared in his left hand. It was a fine iron arrow dyed with golden light. It was a three-edged arrow with a bleeding groove on the arrow body and an extremely thin tail. silver metal feather.

The arrow is hollow inside, reducing its own weight and allowing it to shoot farther.

He felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he filled the inside of the arrow with sunburn liquid. Visually, the beholder is about the size of a small car. It may not be able to cause enough damage just by relying on magic-breaking metal.

"He who knows how to draw an eagle bow like the full moon, looks northwest, and shoots at you."

Kroun muttered, calculated the wind speed and air humidity, and shot the arrow of death.

A golden line appeared in the sky and headed straight towards the beholder.

As if sensing the danger, the beholder's gaze left Crown and followed the movement of the arrow.

Crown saw the arrow spinning across a long space, shooting out the beholder's eyeballs, tearing apart its flesh and blood, and completely engulfing its body.

Then, the beholder exploded magnificently like a watermelon with a powerful firecracker inside.

Red, green, and gold. Gorgeous fireworks bloomed on the stone tower.

Geralt saw the arrow flying out and asked in confusion:

"Sir, what did you shoot just now?"

"A monster with eyes."

The death of the beholder was like poking a hornet's nest. Two-headed chimeras and some large falcons flew out of the cultists' camp one after another, which were pets kept by the cultists.

In the cab, Lannister couldn't help but swear when he saw the Chimera taking off and rushing towards the airship.

"Fuck, what's going on?!"

He glanced at it and found that three chimeras had already flown out, and there might be a few more coming later.

Lannister knew the meaning of the phrase 'when you see the enemy, it means the enemy can also see you'. He quickly estimated the Chimera's speed and hurriedly issued an order:

"Return, turn around and return immediately, and move forward at full speed."

The airship slowly turned around and then accelerated.

The Lannister rushed down the passage to the end, observing the number of two-headed chimeras that caught up.

"one two three four"

While he was muttering to himself, the two of them, Crown, walked in.

"How many chimeras have you followed?"

"Ba Tou, it's not good to lure the enemy too well. If these beasts catch up, the airship may not be able to withstand it."

Even if the double-layered magic circle was attacked by the eight-headed chimera, it couldn't hold on.

When Chimera flew up from the cultist camp, Crown also estimated the speed of the enemy. The burst speed of these alchemical creatures was not much weaker than the fastest speed of the airship.

"Then fly faster."

"When I arrived, I had already ordered the driver to move forward at full speed."

"Fortunately," Crown nodded slightly. In this case, even if the airship is attacked, it will not be attacked many times, but it still cannot be taken lightly.

The two-headed chimera was chasing after the airship, and some falcons were following closely behind. The closest one to the airship was only four to five hundred meters away.

Crown borrowed a rifle from the guard, checked the condition of the gun and the bullets, and opened the window.

Lannister was suspicious: "What are you doing? Do you think a bullet can penetrate the tough skin of a Chimera?"

"Try it, it will be idle if you are idle."

Crown said something perfunctory. Through Geralt's introduction, he understood that the bullet would have no effect if it hit the Chimera's skin.

What he wants to do is to shoot the Chimera's eyes. Logically speaking, this distance is not difficult, but after all, the Chimera is a third-level creature with keen intuition, so he may not succeed.

Holding the gun steady, he stretched the barrel out of the window.

Without deliberately aiming, he only had a moment of opportunity. The more advanced the creature, the more inexplicable his intuition about danger.

Crown calculated the direction of the airship. After a while, when the fastest two-headed Chimera was only more than two hundred meters away from the airship, he suddenly focused his eyes on the first place.

He immediately found the target's eyes and pulled the trigger at the same time.

"Bang, bang", two shots were fired.

Both shots are used to determine the position where the target's eyes meet the bullet after flying in its current state. The Chimera has two heads, and it will not die if one is exploded. Both must be exploded.

Jiji's shooting skills are his confidence. No matter how powerful a creature is, its eyes are also a vulnerable part.

With the special effects of dynamic vision and precise etiquette, it is unlikely to miss at such a close distance.

After the gunshot, Lannister's eyes suddenly shrank, because he saw one of the two-headed chimera's wings stop flapping, and it rolled and fell.
