From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 268 The Falling Escape Pod and the Elves in Emergency Situation

Looking at the vulnerable big guy in front of him, the giant bird showed a little confusion and confusion in his eyes.

What's going on? Why doesn't this extremely arrogant guy fight back? Is it just a waste with no size?

A life of this level actually dares to invade your own territory?

It's really hard to understand.

Although the airship is just a totem tool in the Black Forest, it essentially retains the biological characteristics of a 'plant' and is still easily confused by the outside world;

In particular, a large, moving totem tool like an airship will appear to the giant bird as a shameless and threatening intruder into its territory, which will instinctively make it nervous.

It was not until this moment that the giant bird discovered under more careful observation that it was just a big, useless piece of trash.

So, after a few more rounds of attacks in a arrogant manner and the air bag was destroyed beyond recognition, this high-level magical beast let out a satisfied cry and left quickly. Its huge body broke through the sound barrier in an instant, and then

Disappeared into the distant sky.

When the giant bird that came and went without a trace flew away, a few more minutes passed. At this time, new changes were taking place on the dilapidated airship, which had mostly disintegrated and fallen.

Bit by bit, strong acid is generated in every wooden area, and passive fire appears in air bags and other locations. The former corrodes every totem trace in the fire-resistant area, while the latter devours all scientific and technological achievements in the non-fire-resistant area;

Not long after, the scrapped airship, its disintegrated parts, and its expensive mainland base station components and other cargo were staged in the sky at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

From the tragedy of self-destruction;

Pieces of wood that could not be swallowed by the fire fell from the sky, but at this time they only had the properties of the material itself. Perhaps when they are picked up by passers-by one day in the future, they will create a legend of 'invulnerable armor'

?

Of course, this has almost nothing to do with elves and trolls.

~~~~~~~~

Turning around for a moment, he shifted his attention to the escape cabin that was separated from the main body of the airship.

Free falling from an altitude of 30,000 meters is undoubtedly something that most lives cannot bear;

This is actually the same for trolls, elves, and even Nesta, the most powerful free creature in the Black Forest at this time;

However, if anyone dares to fall from such a height unprepared, no matter how powerful their vitality is, they will not be able to escape the fate of becoming flesh and blood.

Therefore, the escape capsule and the survival capsule inside it are extremely important in this process.

The advanced salamander cell fluid used as an emergency reserve began to exert its effect as early as the moment the escape capsule separated from the main body. Groups of totem components dedicated to airdrops operated efficiently with the support of advanced energy, squeezing as much as possible.

Every bit of functionality in itself.

Then, the huge but relatively small escape capsule quickly fell downwards with the entire crew on board.

The dead weight, load, and friction from the outside atmosphere caused the bottom of the cabin to gradually turn red. Fortunately, the core area also controls the surface of the escape cabin, which is undergoing continuous regeneration, and is also attached with a special device to resist high temperature and atmospheric friction.

The armor layer, with the combined force of the three phases, stabilized the melting trend in a short period of time.

At this point, all the cave wolf cell fluid has been consumed.

But it doesn't matter. Agatha herself is an elf witch doctor. Totem components and external nerve plexuses are just a more energy-saving control method for her.

Therefore, she first spit out the breathing tube in her mouth, endured the discomfort caused by the thick liquid entering her mouth, and cast a spell to release the fixed device on her body;

After that, she controlled the door of the life-saving cabin that had been materially sealed but lost its subsequent automatic unsealing function, performed a magic separation, and raised her knees to push up in the limited space;

After a muffled sound of 'bang', the gelatinous liquid slowly poured out from the opened hatch, and the wind blew on her wet and sticky body;

"Thank you for your hard work, Agatha~"

'boom!!!!'

"Four lights. I need at least four lights to destroy them."

Thinking like this, Agatha didn't care to take any more rest. She immediately rushed out of the life-saving cabin and prepared to help the remaining 58 colleagues regain their freedom.

"Team 4 understands!"

"Yes sir. We will try our best."

So at this time, after completing the rescue mission, his slightly 'immature' side slowly emerged while relaxing.

She opened her purple eyes as smart as a deer, instinctively turned her gaze to the guard captain as if asking for help, and asked in a voice that was obviously at a loss and slightly nervous,

"Second Lieutenant Ugosta, I. What should we do next? Is this an enemy-occupied area or an emergency due to communication failure? Shouldn't the Aircraft Emergency Act come into effect?"

"This is Ugosta. Order, the four teams bypass the unknown creature and continue to approach the city from the left. The mission is still to monitor the city's entry and exit, but be careful not to enter the 7-kilometer detection range of the Ancestral Soul."

~~~~~~

The central area of ​​the escape capsule is a functionally integrated core body with a diameter of 5 meters and a height of 12 meters. The separate parachute storage compartment, jet port and other functional areas add an additional three meters to the upper and lower parts.

The total height reaches more than 15 meters;

In addition, the 60 individual soldier survival cabins are arranged in three layers and arranged in a ring around the core area. Together with the functional pipelines connected to the core area and the external special armor layer, the surrounding area of ​​the entire cabin is improved.

The length was extended to more than 40 meters.

"Haha~ Little Agatha is angry again."

"Wait for us!!! We are going too!!! Haha, I hope we can pick up good things."

"Please take over the liaison with the headquarters immediately and obtain the next instructions from the Military Commission as soon as possible."

"It's all the same. We are all experts at digging holes in the ground and committing dirty tricks. This is our first experience of a head-on battle with the cooperation of soldiers. Unless we exclude senior military training."

"Mother! Mother Agatha!"

After that, it was a matter of countering the powerful force that was fed back into the cabin during the fall. After passing through the special arrangement inside the life-support cabin, it was transmitted to the 59 living individuals amidst many obstacles, causing them to be shaken all over their bodies.

When the speed increased to a certain level, and the subsequent abrupt staged deceleration and countermeasures, I felt relatively uncomfortable.

On the land covered with thousands of miles of snow, there is a chill of winter that cannot be seen in the black forest.

Agatha exhaled a heavy breath, briefly moved her body, which was uncomfortable due to the acceleration of gravity in the closed environment, and then turned her attention to the huge escape cabin behind her.

"Obviously."

It was a small city belonging to a civilized race, and it was obviously impossible for Agatha to let the escape capsule fall into the city, leaving a total of 59 compatriots in her group to be surrounded;

As a result, the direction of the airflow at the bottom was changed, causing the cabin to slightly change its falling point under the influence of a sudden and almost instantaneous huge lateral force;

After that, the escape capsule drew an arc, dragging the parachute, like a beautiful jellyfish in the sky, and fell away from the city.

"Okay! Shut up and go rest. We don't know what the specific situation is. Right now, the priority is to conserve your physical strength and restore your spirit."

The huge impact sound spread far away, dust rose on the ground, and then spread far away, gradually revealing a deep pit that suddenly appeared inside, and an unnamed object that was definitely not small inside.

Agatha was now wearing a multifunctional helmet that integrated oxygen supply, communication, buffering and other totem components inside, and her entire body was wrapped in a buffering colloid in a small space.

"According to the information from two years ago, the male city lord is named Rhodes, and the female city lord is named Tannatos. There are 4237 upright mammoth species in the inner city, 2341 males and 1896 females.

is 0;"

"Yes, sir."

His military rank is lieutenant, and he has one direct squad and two direct squads under his command, with a total of fourteen elite elf warriors;

The short-term identity of these soldiers is the escort team responsible for the flight escort of the 023 airship, while the medium- and long-term identity is the "individual flying armed" reserve pilots who are undergoing high-altitude adaptability training.

In addition, among the infrasound signals flying around in the space, there are also messages sent by our own mainland base station, and each message is preceded by a clear label of the sending point;

Therefore, after summarizing so much information, Agatha already understood the general direction of the group's fall and clearly understood the current situation;

"Yes! Sir!"

In addition, they also have a strong curiosity, which may be okay on earth, but here, as one of the most vulnerable races, too much curiosity will often only bring disaster.

"It's so gross!!! Do you want to go take a look!! Something fell down over there!!!"

"exist!"

And in the direction they were heading, there were three investigators who belonged to the External Exploration Department and were now under temporary military control by Cynthia. They were about a hundred meters apart from each other, groping forward in a triangular position.

~~~~~~

Investigation team.

Specializing in the art, when Ugosta arranged the reconnaissance mission, he arranged eight investigators with stronger concealment capabilities at three prominent points at the front, about two kilometers apart.

"good!"

'Confirm the situation! Are there any injuries? Damn it, the communication component was broken and this one is broken too.'

The helmet cracked in the middle, and another stream of viscous liquid flowed out, and then strong sunlight and the scenery directly came into her eyes;

"The number is a bit large. You can outflank them from the rear. Get as close as 500 meters to block the retreat. Just leave the rest to us."

"2300 meters southeast, coordinates *-**-***, number 87, should be small upright creatures, how to deal with them?"

The information she collected instinctively in a short period of time made her frown slightly, and she moved her hands faster.

In some of the life-support cabins, the compatriots who could not calm down had already started banging on the doors. The unknown situation outside and the failed totem components made them feel anxious.

So at the moment, after being buffered by the parachute and decelerated by the jet, what hit the field was a flat cylinder with a height of 15 meters and a circumference of 40 meters;

'It's okay outside for now. I've come out and will let you out soon.'

At this time, Cynthia, who had arranged another task, began to arrange the on-site defense matters;

Under her command, the scouts began to spread out their defenses. While preparing for sniping with the only weapons left on their bodies, they activated the concealment totems and audio monitoring totems on their bodies to monitor the remaining directions where there were no armored soldiers.

~~~~~~

The location where the escape capsule crashed was no better than the Black Forest, where there are obvious changes in the four seasons, and it is winter and it is not the busy farming season. Most urban residents are busy at home having children.

Similarly, the fifteen active members of the military at the scene, as well as several other non-active members of the military among the investigators, also made no sense, and recognized Agatha's command status in her slightly blank sight.

"Very well, first order! Agatha Witch Doctor?"

About five kilometers behind them, there were three groups of fire support teams composed of fifteen soldiers, including Ugosta himself;

The word 'mother' in this last sentence is a foreign word, and its meaning is completely different from the synonyms in this part. Its precise meaning only adds fuel to the fire, making Agatha feel very embarrassed.

After a simple reassurance in advance, each hatch was slowly opened under the control of Agatha, and then one after another figures cautiously probed behind the gushing liquid, and after confirming the situation, they breathed a sigh of relief.

come out.

"yes!"

"Yes."

Time passed little by little, and after spending about ten minutes, the accompanying witch doctor finally released all the members;

The results were pretty good. Except for the trolls who were a little nauseous and relatively exhausted mentally, the elves, who accounted for more than half of the total, finally maintained a fairly good mental state and a complete fighting level.

.

"In the civilized area, the Mammoth Twin Kings Republic, the nearest hostile force is the small city numbered 034 in the Black Forest, 57 kilometers southeast;"

"The 8 armored units among the investigators are assigned to your direct command. You will lead them and coordinate with the 14 soldiers under your command to conduct the investigation. The investigation will focus on the southeastern Mammoth City."

"The rest of the direction will be taken care of by the unarmored units left behind. Also, if it is confirmed that the enemy has not been able to detect us, Ugosta, you must make concealment your first priority."

According to common sense, Ugosta should immediately and unconditionally take over on-site command in accordance with relevant laws and make targeted responses before resuming contact with the headquarters.

When the escape capsule passed through the sky that was not too high, made a big noise and then crashed to the ground, they became the closest group of civilized life forms to the scene.

The members of the fifth team heard their movements from a distance, and then one of the investigators who liked female mammoths and believed that "big is beautiful, heavy is strong" sighed,

They are wearing 'combat-type external heavy armor', and their concealment capabilities are barely better than nothing. However, at a height of nearly six meters, they are condensed with a series of offensive totem weapons that are not just for good looks.

, thus possessing ferocious combat performance at both near and long range that far exceeds the former.

In response to this, Agatha puffed up her mouth in dissatisfaction and cursed, "Shut up!"

At this time, the first team composed of Ugosta and four other soldiers was located in the center of the back, while the second team and the third team were located about three kilometers away on both sides of him;

While advancing slowly, they waited for orders from their superiors, ready to go out at any time and carry out combat missions based on the status reports from the scouts ahead.

"So, the three engineers please try their best to repair the self-destruct function of the escape capsule. The uncertainty when leaving four lights is too great. We need to move as soon as possible."

"The second team understands and speeds up immediately."

It also had a long parachute, which was dragged messily behind it, covering a larger area of ​​land.

Earlier, the escape cabin was wrapped in the inner space of a larger gondola, but now it lost its barrier and faced the outside world, so of course Agatha fell directly to the ground when she ran away.

There were nearly a hundred erect apes present, with a body covered with thick short hair, a head with a protruding mouth and a low forehead, clever hands and a short tail;

If they were placed on the Earth in the previous life, they might be Nesta's ancient close relatives. Maybe they could also gain the reputation of the "terrible erect ape" and become the true master of the world, at least on the surface.

"Yes, sir!"

The texture of the soil that comes from the soles of your feet when stepping on it is a slightly familiar feeling.

"Mature cultivated soil, and it is mature cultivated soil in the fertile areas of the central continent"

"Um, sir!"

Every time the ground and feet meet, there will be obvious potholes left. Five 'human'-shaped armors that are more than six meters high are overcoming part of the gravity and flying in long strides, approaching at an extremely impressive speed.

Five kilometers away, the location of the fifth team was investigated.

The three war wizards nodded, then took out a cube from the same slimy backpack, and connected the 'braid' hanging down from the back of their heads into a hole.

Then, amid the same 'click, click' sound that had sounded many times when the previous investigation team was dispatched, their height, which was originally about 3.5 meters, suddenly 'grew' to more than five meters;

The reason for this phenomenon was naturally not because they had grown taller, but because they had three sets of maintenance-type external totem armors, which were successively installed on them at this time.

These 'armors' that do not have combat functions are integrated with many engineer-specific totems, which can enable war wizards who can only use self-additive spells to obtain maintenance capabilities corresponding to the configured totems, and master their own knowledge

On the basis of this, the core area of ​​the escape cabin is inspected and repaired.

'Big is Beautiful', who is more familiar with the mammoth species, acted as the temporary captain. He led two teammates to leave diagonally, so only the bulky-looking soldiers were left on the scene;

"Good guy, this thing does look very powerful, but the movement is too loud. The hearing of mammoths is only slightly worse than ours."

Therefore, now they are like creatures locked in a locked cage, and they must be very anxious.

The captain of the flight guard stopped his team members from teasing the witch doctor on board the ship, and received a look of gratitude hidden in the obvious dissatisfaction.

"Then as soon as possible, I'll wait for your news here."

Thirty thousand meters, twenty thousand meters

The bottom of the cabin suddenly began to spray gas downward intermittently, causing the escape cabin to show some signs of slowing down during its continuous pauses and rises;

Ten thousand meters, five thousand meters

Multiple sets of huge parachutes were opened, and the escape capsule's falling speed suddenly stopped, and then slowed down visibly to the naked eye;

Three thousand meters, two thousand meters

In the cabin, Agatha Witch Doctor, who was responsible for controlling the fall trajectory, began to perform her mission. The sound fluctuations in the wide area below gathered in her meditation space, helping her to confirm the specific situation of the fall point;

"Understood, let's go now"

"Ah! I'm here!"

After receiving the order, Ugosta took over the eight armored units of the explorers, and together with the fourteen soldiers under his command, began to make arrangements for the expedition.

Agatha sounded like she was endorsing, and in fact she was. What she said was the result of retelling the information in her memory after positioning it based on analysis.

"Okay, you can continue to contact the headquarters. If it is a transit of 3,500 kilometers through the mainland base station, it will take about three light hours of communication time, but it can keep moving, right?"

"Do I need to emphasize this? According to the concealment regulations, shoot without mercy!"

"clear!"

His eyes turned around, and the person who interrupted him happened to be Cynthia Tess, who had slapped her colleague on the back of the head on the airship.

Underfoot, there was snow water melted by the temperature brought by the impact. They flowed from all directions to the middle of the depression, forming a muddy depression around the escape cabin;

"Stop talking nonsense and execute the order."

A bill is a bill, and the executors are not allowed to show any humility or scruples.

Therefore, after Cynthia understood the specific situation at the moment, she immediately stood up and exercised the obligations and powers conferred on her by the two bills respectively out of necessity and necessity.

"Humph!" The gaze naturally came from Agatha. After she glared at the familiar guard captain, she snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"In addition, there are 35,000 people belonging to dozens of different races living in the outer city. It is a typical 'sanctuary city'."

After the order was issued, each team that received the order entered the execution stage. As for the second team that had just received the combat order, the team leader was already directing the team to accelerate forward.

There are two sets of left and right jet reaction chambers built into the soles of the combat armor. Soldiers can precisely control the amount and direction of their jets through external nerve plexus organs. Combined with maintaining their own specific running posture, they can

Under the large body weight, it can maintain its own speed to a certain extent;

Therefore, when these soldiers activate the high-speed action mode, not only will their bodies look distorted, but the soles of their feet will also make roaring sounds alternately.

"Leave as soon as possible and pay attention to safety."

"Lie down separately and wait for news from Team 5."

"Yes, sir."

The team members nodded, each found a suitable position to start digging, and then leaned down and entered a state of silence.

Just as the three soldier squads were moving forward, audio messages that were automatically converted into language were connected to the communication channel.

"This is Team Lin5. This is Team Lin5. The direction is **-**-**. An upright creature was found three kilometers away in the southeast at a declination angle of **. It is determined that it is heading towards the fall point. Please give instructions.

Please give instructions."

In fact, the distance was only about two thousand meters. Even at their current speed, the three investigators arrived at the predetermined location in a relatively short period of time.

"Hard work little Agatha!"

"This is Ugosta. Order, the fifth team bypasses the unknown creature and continues to approach the city from the right. Monitor the entrance and exit, but do not enter the detection range of the ancestor soul."

"Where is the target and how far away is it?" After the communication was connected, the leader of the second team immediately asked.

'It's very close to a civilized city. I couldn't escape too far in the final push.'

"Team 5 understands."

"Gather first! Let's sort out the situation!" The guard captain first made a voice to gather all the compatriots, and then looked at Agatha inquiringly and asked,

"Your Excellency Agatha, what is the specific situation now? Where are we?"

While Ugosta and the sergeant were making specific mission arrangements, Cynthia turned her attention to the three airmen.

"Then, three of them are engineers, right?"

"Thank you~Agatha Witch Doctor."

"Maybe we are engaged in rear reconnaissance, so it sounds exaggerated. In the eyes of the military, maybe it's okay?" another partner in the temporary team responded.

"Stop chatting, it's time to support the battle. I'm a little nervous. I've never fought with a large corps. What about you two?"

I saw her taking out her ID from her 'rucksack', unfolding it in front of the compatriots, and then said firmly while saluting 15 times, fast and slow,

"In accordance with the "Special Collective Defense Regulations in Enemy-Occupied Areas", I, non-active Major Cynthia Tess, have temporarily resumed active duty status, and in accordance with the "Aircraft Emergency Act", as the highest-ranking military officer present, I hold the right to take over command and are not allowed to have any

Any objections, please reserve any appeals until the military court, do you understand?"

But obviously, this world is not friendly to these hairy upright apes.

They are almost one of the weakest races in the civilized world. Except for a few populations with the "freedom of apes" in the territory of the mammoth species, they are one of the representative races of slaves in most other parts of the continent.

.

"Very good, go and get busy."

Although the roaring sound will be suppressed by specific totems, when running at full strength, it will still produce relatively obvious movement, so in the area where the second team ran, a dull 'thunder' was left.

‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’

"Received, here is the first team of Ugosta. The fifth team is on standby and keeping surveillance. The second team will immediately go to support and destroy them upon arrival. The fifth team is responsible for attacking and assisting, and is responsible for destroying the corpses and eliminating traces."

An accident, or something unexpected happened, before Ugosta could carry out his mission, a mature female voice interrupted him;

"Team 5 understands that we are very good at destroying corpses and eliminating traces."

She groped to drain the filling liquid in the life-saving cabin first, but the device that was supposed to operate automatically showed no response under the induction of the mental plexus. It seemed that it had no energy or was completely broken.

"Sir, what if they find out? The previous movement was obviously not small." Ugosta confirmed.

They were talking on the internal channel, and the second team had already arrived nearby. The three scouts controlled the armor on their bodies, and in an instant revealed their complete bodies of more than four meters high to point out the location to the soldiers.

It has returned to its almost invisible appearance again.

"Second order, Lieutenant Ugosta."

These were three elves with obvious bookishness. Cynthia could tell at a glance that they were war witch engineers promoted by scholars, rather than war witch engineers from the army, so her orders were relatively gentle;

"Very good. Please check the functional core of the escape cabin immediately and restore its self-destruction capability as a priority. If Cynthia Witch Doctor cannot repair it, how long will it take for you to completely destroy the totem structure above?"

The erect apes stopped what they were doing while shouting at each other, then picked up metal objects with wooden handles that were both tools and self-defense weapons, and hurried toward the northwest.

Time does not wait for the elf, and most of the totem functional components are obviously broken. He can escape with magic, but the other compatriots do not have this ability;

"Ahem. This is about 3,500 kilometers north of Outer North City. The drawing is marked **-**-**-**. The nearest base station is 23.5 degrees north-northwest, 323.2 kilometers straight ahead. The rest of the directions

There are also three base stations, but they are very far away, about a thousand kilometers away."

The Ugosta whom she asked was an elf warrior who had completed the advanced level. He graduated from the Military Command Department of the Central School and was an active squadron leader of the Military Aircraft Escort Corps;

Of course, after learning from Agatha about his current location and the situation he was facing, he had already made such preparations and was preparing to take actual action.

"Everyone, I will use the Aircraft Emergency Act as the basis."

After that, her true nature was slightly revealed.

This female elf who previously had a mother-in-law is actually not very old, and can even be said to be quite young. Because she is the first tree elf ‘produced’ by Mother Tree No. 1, her age can be easily deduced.

She will turn 26 in a month. Based on the age of an elf, she actually has four years to reach maturity.

But as with every rule there are exceptions, and there are always some restless guys who are just willing to hang out in the winter.

For example, there is a group of erectus apes here who are either industrious or unlucky. They happen to be digging canals for their farmland in the farmland outside the city.

"Lieutenant, please wait!"

At the front, the fifth team's marching method is not as explosive as that of the second team. Compared with the fierce acceleration, their armor is obviously more focused on lightness, so although the speed is not too fast, it is capable of concealment.

Fighting style.

They are all elf warriors equipped with 'reconnaissance external light armor'. After turning on the optical invisibility, acoustic invisibility and other totem functions of the armor, they can operate in an almost silent, breathless and invisible state.

Conduct close reconnaissance in the intended direction.

"I'm in charge of the center, Sailu is in charge of the left side, and Jumana is in charge of the right side. I'll report it as soon as I'm ready. I need to inform the second team over there, is that okay?"

"No problem~"

"clear!"

After choosing a suitable location, ‘Big is Beautiful’ raised his right arm with his left palm and completed the sniper combat preparations in a squatting position;

Part of the upper structure of the right arm armor was separated from each other, and a flat square opening was formed above the metacarpal bone. The internal totem structure was also prepared at this time;

At almost the same time, the helmet's audio feedback function was switched to combat mode, and the eyepiece also turned on the telephoto aiming function, and further added a 'precision' effect to itself;

As a result, the erect apes four hundred meters away were clearly included in the attack sight range.
