Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1098 comes just in time

With the arrival of Duanmu Huai, the crisis in the Bastion Fortress has been temporarily relieved. The reason is very simple. Duanmu Huai's previous blow from the sky directly smashed the battlefield ahead with a huge gap tens of meters wide. No matter how many demons there were, He couldn't get over, so he could only stare.

 The fortress commander also seized the time to mobilize troops and rush to repair the defense line.

As for the students, they were so tired that they just slept for a whole day and a night before they came back to life... It's no wonder, after all, they are still children.

As for the archangel, he disappeared again after delivering the message. It is not known whether he really went back or was hiding somewhere. Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. Facts proved once again that neither angels nor demons were good things. Human beings still had to control their destiny in their own hands.

 “The brave man.”

At this moment, the fortress commander also walked to the city wall and saluted Duanmuhuai. The commander could only feel awe for this brave man who could single-handedly destroy an army of hundreds of thousands of demons.

 “Oh, morning, what’s the matter?”

 “No, I just wanted to say thank you.”

"You're welcome."

 “It’s not just about fighting off demonic attacks.”

 The fortress commander shook his head.

"For your students... To be honest, at the beginning, I really thought we couldn't survive. But those children really surprised us. You know, on a battlefield like that, even veterans can't hold on anymore." They may be desperate or even give up fighting because of fear, but these children insist on participating in the battle even if their faces are pale and their hands and feet are trembling. And thanks to their help, my soldiers can survive that kind of near-death environment. Come down..."

"This is their own choice. I didn't do anything. If you want to thank them, just thank them."

 Duanmuhuai waved his hand, and the commander nodded.

 “I plan to do the same, please ask everyone...”

“They are still sleeping. They are probably very tired, but it’s nothing serious.”

 “You really should have a good rest.”

 The commander didn't say much, he just turned to look at the battlefield outside the city wall and frowned.

“To be honest, although I was prepared for the demon to launch an attack, the fact that the demon would actually participate was beyond my expectation.”

“Aren’t the demons believers of the devil? It’s normal for them to participate in battles.”

“That’s what I said, but with such a huge army, I don’t know how the demons gathered together.”

“…Oh, by the way, I was just asking.”

“Yes? Lord Brave, what’s the problem?”

 “Where is the country of the devil?”

“The country of the demons? It’s the canyon on the other side of Mount Arreat…”

 “Oh, please help me draw it on the map.”

"Of course there is no problem, but Lord Brave, what are you doing..."

"hehe."

Facing the commander’s confused eyes, Duanmu Huai just smiled and played with the rosette in his hand, as if he was just chatting casually.

 “Nothing else, just asking.”

 “This, this is it……”

 Silently marked the location on the map Duanmuhuai took out. The commander didn't say anything - well, it's better not to know some things.

 “Then, Lord Brave, I still have work to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

"OK."

 Saluted to Duanmuhuai, the fortress commander turned and left.

 However, at this moment......

 “Boom————!!”

Just when the fortress commander was about to walk down the city wall, suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky! What follows is a dazzling flash! When the commander subconsciously turned his head to see clearly what was going on, a sudden air flow rushed toward him, blowing the commander away. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had quick eyes and quick hands. Caught him, otherwise if he fell off the city wall, he would have to be replaced immediately.

 “Enemy, enemy attack!”

The commander who was caught by Duanmuhuai was so shocked that he yelled hurriedly before he had time to figure out what happened. At the same time, he quickly ran to the city wall and looked outside... However, there was nothing there.

 “Hey? What’s going on? What was that just now...”

Just when the commander was confused about the situation, suddenly, he felt as if a large black shadow was covering his head. Then the commander raised his head, and then...

 “What is that!?”

Above the commander's head, a strange metal creature was seen floating there. It spread its wings like a bird, and the whole thing looked like a strange triangle, with a pair of feet-like things facing the ground. , spraying huge air waves.

 Is it some kind of weapon of the devil?

Just when the commander was confused, Duanmuhuai's voice sounded in his ears.

 “Oh, sorry, this is something from our Inquisition.”

　　"This, like this...scared me, Lord Brave." 　　　Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the commander was relieved. He also knew that there were many weird things in the Tribunal. The huge metal chariot from before was already amazing. He didn’t expect that it could actually create something that could fly in the sky...

“Sorry, I have to find a place for it to land. Is the platform over there no problem?”

"Of course, then I'll take my leave first, and I have to inform the soldiers not to cause panic..."

After knowing that this was something belonging to the Tribunal, the commander left with peace of mind, and Duanmu Huai also made a few gestures to signal the mecha to stop on the platform next to it - it was originally used to carry the trebuchet. , but since the trebuchet is broken, it is still quite useful as a temporary landing platform.

Soon, the mecha landed, and then the hatch opened, and then Duanmuhuai saw a figure in a red robe coming out of it... and there were two mechanical arms hanging behind him.

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai twitched the corners of his mouth, then stepped forward and lifted up the other party's robe.

 “Wow! Sir Knight, why do you lift my clothes as soon as we meet!”

Under the robe is a girl with blue hair and a high ponytail. She is none other than Maria, one of the four witches in the duel city world.

“You weren’t like this, I thought you had imitated those oil guys and transformed yourself.”

Duanmuhuai opened his robe and took a look at the mechanical prosthesis behind Maria. Fortunately, it was not a direct biochemical transformation like the oil guy, but a backpack-type device.

“What’s wrong with you studying when you’re idle and bored, like a motor oil guy? Do you also want to be physically weak and mechanically ascend? It would be strange if Shitsuka didn’t fight with me after knowing this.”

Looking at Maria in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless. This can be regarded as a genius scientist. Duanmu Huai would not let go of someone who could create tanks in a medieval magical world, so he brought her to the Tribunal, where she was mainly responsible for the weapon research and development of the Tribunal.

 Maria did make Duanmuhuai worry-free, and she was able to solve problems by herself most of the time.

The only bad thing is that she seems to be very fascinated by the Mechanicum and the God of All Machines. Now she has become a cosplayer?

 Is this a good thing?

“Hey, but this is really useful. You can still do things when your hands are busy. I now understand that having more hands is really convenient.”

"Anyway, just have fun, don't make it serious for me."

Duanmuhuai patted Maria on the head. He didn't want to see an extra oil guy in the court.

"I know, but Sir Knight, your request is too overwhelming. I can't handle it without a few extra hands."

"nailed it?"

Hearing Maria's complaint, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows, while Maria nodded.

"Yes, according to your request, Lord Knight, I broke them down and put them into the space bag, and then brought them over."

 “That’s good, when can I start working?”

 “Uh…can it be done now?”

 “Then find a place where no one is and start working.”

 “Are you in such a hurry?”

Face Duanmuhuai’s request, Maria couldn’t help but be shocked, while Duanmuhuai nodded seriously.

“I have a bad feeling, or you came just in time.”

After Lumiere's previous attempts, Duanmu Huai had discovered that it would take too long to bring battleships directly, so he thought of another way, which was to ask Maria to directly disassemble the original ships, and then Put it into a space bag, then take it over and assemble it in this world - only Maria can do this kind of thing, anyone else would be confused.

Now it seems that Duanmu Huai's idea is quite reliable. It is obvious that the system's time travel only depends on the size and not the quantity. In order to dismantle this thing into piles, Maria probably used hundreds of space bags. .

 However, even if there are hundreds of space bags, their size is much smaller than a mecha.

There is a reason why Duanmu Huai is so anxious.

After learning the truth about the World Stone, he was a little worried that the angel would jump over the wall. Destroying the World Stone is not too difficult for Duanmu Huai, but the problem is that once the World Stone is destroyed, the seal that suppresses humans will disappear, and humans will gradually regain their original power that is enough to scare angels and demons. .

So will angels just sit back and watch humans become powerful again?

Duanmuhuai said that I believe you are a ghost! How can it be?

What he is most worried about now is that he might blow up the World Stone with his front foot, and the angels with his back foot will directly descend to earth and attack humans. Especially the Kingdom of Heilixi - Duanmu Huai currently has a lot of things on his hands, but there is really nothing particularly useful against the air. Fortunately, Maria arrived in time, which relieved Duanmu Huai.

Since Maria is here, it means that my idea has been successful. Next, I just need to reassemble the things that were originally disassembled.

 “How many days will it take?”

 “Just me? It will take at least half a month!”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Maria also stared at him with wide eyes in surprise—no matter how powerful she is, she can’t work like this!

 “I will send some servoskulls to assist you.”

 “Then...it will take at least ten days.”

 Maria calculated it and gave the answer again.

 “Very good, ten days then.”

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and nodded. As long as the plan goes well, these ten days are not an intolerable loss for Duanmuhuai.

 “I’ll give you ten days. After ten days, you must complete it!”

　　……I’ll do my best, Lord Knight.”
