  Chapter 648 Can the prophets of Terra also predict the apocalypse?

   Said to be leading the team, but in fact only Qing Chao accompanied him, Scott stayed behind to command, and Adbert, who was aliased as Gu Ying, went to the alchemy workshop with Ian's warrant.

  In a sense, Adalbert can also be regarded as a left-behind defender—although he cannot use the power of the dead king, if the enemy really invades Laian City, with him, he will definitely be able to block or even secretly destroy those enemies.

  —You thought you were raiding a lab?

  Wrong! You raided a small warp labyrinth guarded by a dead king!

  The speed of the sublimator is very fast.

   Not long after, Ian and Qing Chao arrived around the Guyan Peak.

  It was autumn, and the sky around Guyan Peak was full of dark clouds.

   On the high ground around the mouth of Guyan Peak, you can overlook a large camp of mountain people from a distance.

   After all, Ian has been to this area and is quite familiar with the terrain.

  At the same time, for future development and to confirm the movement of the rebellious mountain people, he would send several teams of spies here to observe the situation every day.

But even so, given the terrain of the Baisen Mountains, a week's inspection could not find all the hidden passages—the troops of the rebel mountain people walked out of a hidden mountain gorge, which was originally a river, but in the six It dried up after the big storm a few years ago, but now it is lush and green.

  Because there are sublimators in this world, it is very easy to do reconnaissance, but anti-reconnaissance has also evolved. The young man is now manipulating the water mist to blur the figures of the two people, so that he can climb to the top of the mountain without being discovered.

   They start observing the situation.

  The camp of the mountain people is built on a platform on the mountainside of Guyan Peak. The gray rock seems to have metal components, which is extremely strong.

  This place is difficult to destroy, and it is condescending, so you can observe the surrounding situation. Most importantly, it will not be like the flat land below the mountain gorge, which is easily blown up by people with explosives to block lakes or bury it in valleys.

This is actually the strategy Ian originally wanted to use—in fact, he specially sent people to clean up the flat land. If the leader of the mountain people is really so stupid, let alone a thousand people, even one Thousands of people have to be buried.

   But obviously the mountain people are not that stupid to see the danger in that place.

  The mountain camp is roughly divided into three parts, each of which is relatively independent, and it can be seen that they belong to different chiefs.

   What made Ian vigilant was that each camp was built very solidly, with prowling beasts crawling to guard the gates and patrolling hunters on the periphery.

   Very formal—this is a trainee unit trained by Pyrotechnic instructors!

   Ian also has the ring of silence and the phantom of water mist, and the other second energy levels are close, and they will definitely be discovered.

   And in the center of the camp, there are three armored machines. It is already a small team.

  Even with the help of Feiyan, this number is obviously too much. Ian is sure that the main force of the rebellious mountain people has already arrived here.

   "Warcraft, armor, and elite hunter troops."

Qing Chao also saw all this, and the blue-haired swordsman frowned: "Boss, this is not ordinary—according to your old friend of the Dragon Sect, three of the five chiefs of the Midra Autonomous Region have come here Already."

"Um."

Ian observed carefully, he counted in detail, and then nodded slightly: "One thousand three hundred and fifty-four people, thirty-one trained beasts, three armors, five monsters, and the most core three secondary capable super sublimator."

   "Fortunately, there aren't that many." He took a long breath: "I thought it was the enemy's entire army coming over, as long as it wasn't a big army pressing the formation, we could still fight."

   "But it's still troublesome."

   "That's not much?" Qing Chao opened his eyes wide, and he looked at Ian: "Boss, this time the enemy also has armor, so it's not so easy to deal with it?"

   "Among other things, those five monsters are enough for me..." He muttered to himself, apparently already thinking about how to distribute the enemies and who was responsible for destroying which enemies.

  Based on Qingchao's self-knowledge and professional compatibility, he felt that it might be the best choice to deal with the five monsters by himself.

   "I won't let you fight five monsters. In fact, it's just a salvo. I'll let you see the power of the new weapon when I return to Laian City."

  Ian shook his head, Qing Chao had never seen the power of a charging rifle and his own armor, so he had this wrong association.

  He explained: "The main reason is that there are too many enemies, and our firepower projection cannot eliminate the enemy's forwards in the first place—as long as the enemy does not collapse, they will definitely be able to rush into our position."

   "So the most troublesome thing is that these soldiers are trained... They don't collapse so easily, even with fear potion."

   Especially fear potions are good for a small group of people. Ian can't make so many potions when the number of people is large and the range is large.

"So."

  At this moment, Qing Chao is also thinking about how to attack the enemy, he frowned: "Boss, is it possible to set up a few artillery pieces to destroy the platform where they are?"

   "The rocky mountain structure is not so easy to collapse."

  Ian shook his head: "Let's see if we shoot low and high to destroy the enemy, or the other party condescends and shoots all our artillery from a few thousand meters away."

  That Qing Chao didn’t move either—he was just a swordsman, and his greatest resourcefulness was to use the terrain to destroy the enemy.

   Ian is different.

  He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

  The leaden gray sky is extremely gloomy, and the sky is covered with blackness.

  He was inspired by the faint rumbling sound from the dark clouds.

   "The location is not good...but the weather is fine."

  The young man muttered to himself: "Fortunately, the Nanling side is cloudy and rainy—there is still room for manipulation."

  Ian suddenly smiled: "Not bad. The time is mine!"

  —It seems that he, the prophet, has a serious apocalypse forecast!

  Qing Chao didn’t understand what Ian was saying, but he could understand that Ian had already figured out a solution—the other party was like this, no matter it was in the Great Maze of the South China Sea or at other times, he could always come up with a solution to the crisis.

  The two investigated for a while, and through the tribal coat of arms, race differences, and behavior habits, they determined that the people who came here were the 'Iron Dust Department', the 'Snake Rock Department' and the 'Zhenzhou Department'. They are all well-known among the mountain people, and it is said that they all hold part of the inheritance of the mountain people's heyday.

   And their supplies were sent from a trail down the mountain... a hidden route, but Ian, who had a silver chip and a vision of vision, couldn't hide it.

   After confirming that they had investigated all the information, the two returned to Lai'an City.

Even at the speed of a sublimator, it was already late at night when they returned, but Scott and Adalbert were waiting for their return—even Amber, the bald craftsman, was there with an excited look on his face .

"how?"

  The others are fine, Amber actually waited for him here in the middle of the night without sleeping, Ian felt that he didn't...

  Yes, it has such a great charm. But clearly, now is not the time to play glamour.

"grown ups!"

  Amble came over excitedly, and he pointed in the direction where Adalbert was: "This...Mr. Guying, where is the expert?!"

   "It took him only one afternoon to solve the problem of the high-energy crop cultivation medium that had plagued our alchemy workshop for two years!"

"what?"

Ian really didn't expect such a good thing—he turned his head and looked at Yadbert, the dead king who disguised himself as a white man with his white hair and white skin, scratched his cheek shyly: "It just so happens I ran into a similar problem and tried to answer it…”

   "Mr. Amber is also smart!" He emphasized: "Among all the people I have met, Mr. Amber is also very studious and quick to understand!"

   "I'm not surprised." Ian glanced at Amber. This person with no political literacy and technical thinking can still be the head of the workshop, which is enough to prove that he is skilled.

  The technical problem of high-energy crop culture medium has obviously troubled Amber for a long time. Adbert solved it when he first arrived. He actually didn't have any jealousy, only ecstasy, and gratitude for what he learned-this kind of mentality is not something ordinary people can have.

  Ian turned his head and looked at Adalbert: "I'm rather strange, Guying, you don't study this aspect, do you?"

   "Slightly understand, slightly understand."

  Adelbert said humbly. He does understand a little, because his main job is biological alchemy and psionic alchemy, but the projects he is responsible for are related to too many things, so at present, in a rural place like Laian, he can be an all-around genius to use.

   Amber reported to Ian the latest progress of the magnetic storm armor: Now the magnetic storm armor can be put into actual combat, and the mutual assistance function between the magnetic storm armor and the magnetic storm coil has also been initially completed with the help of Landian.

   After reporting this point, the bald mechanic happily continued to work in the workshop.

  Ian also knows why the other party is bald.

   For the Terrans, who theoretically don't lose their hair due to androgen, there must be a reason for their natural baldness.

  After Amber left, Ian's team had a small meeting.

   "Only three groups came. The armies of the other two tribes should be on Elder Manya's side. Of course, there are more than five rebellious mountain people, and the ones who came to our side can be regarded as the main force."

Ian spread out the map, pointed to the direction of Lai'an Territory and Qigang Mountain, and said, "The rebel mountain people must not gather all their troops to attack us. This armored troop advance is probably the first wave of their strongest momentum. As long as the only wave of offensive is blocked and their vitality is wiped out, the rebel mountain people will not have the strength to attack us again before next spring."

"grown ups."

Scott is very serious. He is frowning at this moment, looking at the map and the intelligence report: "According to the information you have explored, the Mountain People's army this time has more than a thousand people, three armored units, and more than three hundred An elite mountain hunter... And we, counting the White Civil Guard, the mercenaries I brought, and the mercenaries sent by Nauman City, add up to more than a hundred and ten people."

   "And there is only one armor."

"The number of enemies is more than ten times that of ours. The military strength and equipment are not at the same level. Even if we succeed in defending Lai'an City... I guess it will be a bitter victory." He summed it up like a defeatist strategist, almost saying Out of 'our army must be defeated! ’ This is the key word.

   "Indeed. Our military strength is a huge disadvantage."

  Ian didn't refute, because what Scott said was true—but at this moment, he looked out the window, where he could see the magnetic storm coil in the north of the city.

  The boy smiled and said: "But the equipment is not necessarily the case. Especially the armor. With the assistance of the city defense facilities, my Cyclops is not a problem to single out three ordinary fifth-generation armors."

   "Not to mention, "The more than a hundred of us are all professional mercenaries and guard members. After being armed, the combat effectiveness must be far superior to those ordinary mountain people. Even trained mountain hunters cannot beat us in terms of simple weapons and equipment. "

"so."

  Ian said so, and he raised his hand: "What we need to think about is how to solve the manpower disadvantage - forming a small team to cut off their supplies is the first point, weakening the endurance of the mountain people."

   "And more importantly, we must learn to rely on 'sky' to fight."

"sky?"

  Everyone was stunned, even Qing Chao, who had heard Ian say this word before, felt a little puzzled: "Boss, what the **** do you mean?"

   "The weather. And luck."

  Ian simply explained: "Actually, the weather can actually be manipulated... I don't know, have you heard of 'artificial rainfall'?"

   "I've heard it..."

Adelbert was considered the most well-informed among the countrymen present. When Scott and Qing Chao were stunned for a while, he nodded thoughtfully: "But, he can manipulate the sky and arouse the spirits of nature." Can change the field, manipulate nature to attack—isn’t this the power of etheric weapons and powerhouses of the third energy level?”

   "Moreover, you must be a strong person of a specific inheritance to do it!"

   "Yes. But definitely more than that."

Ian shook his head slightly. He believed that Terra definitely had the technology to carry out artificial rainfall, but I am afraid that the technology of artificially changing the celestial phenomenon of these pre-epoch civilizations would be weaponized, or sublimated and inherited. In short, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. .

   Just as the imperial capital itself is a huge weather regulator, no one has ever thought of replicating a small imperial capital with only weather adjustment functions in other places to serve the public.

   So much so that, for people like Yadbert, artificial rainfall has been equated with third-level powerhouses and weather weapons.

  This is indeed the direction that Ian may develop, but technology definitely has more than one direction.

   “Creasing rain is actually very simple.”

Ian explained to everyone present: "Depending on the weather conditions, it can be achieved by putting in different catalysts. For example, dry ice and silver iodide are used in cold weather, and salt powder or calcium chloride is used in hot weather... In short, the recent period has been It's going to rain, and we have to guarantee that on the day when the rebel mountain people attack Lai'an City, it will definitely rain around Lai'an City."

   "It's not just raining, it has to be raining!"

Hearing this, even Qing Chao, who had the lowest level of knowledge, understood it. He suddenly patted his thigh: "I see! Boss, you want to be like Viscount Grant, and create a source of water that is beneficial to you." The place to play, and then blow up those mountain people sublimators?"

   "But won't it be a bit difficult? Rainy days do have a boost to water system sublimators, but it's not that big..."

  Ian raised his hand, signaling Qing Chao to stop talking. He made up his mind to let the other party read more books.

   "Yeah, water conducts electricity... I see!"

It’s not long since Qingchao came to Leian, and he had never seen magnetic storm coils and magnetic storm armor, but Scott fully understood it. He opened his eyes and said excitedly: “So, as long as it rains at the right time, a thousand Multiple enemies is not a big deal at all!"

   "Yes. And it doesn't have to be just rain...if the conditions are perfect."

  Ian smiled and looked around at the excited crowd: "We can still send down the thunder!"

   Here I recommend again my best novel "Apocalypse Forecast" by Brother Feng! The well-deserved true overlord of the Fantasy Zone, no.1 on the list of people I most want to roll!
