Chapter 215 Ambush
The rain seemed to weaken, but the sky before night light was still covered with cloudy lead clouds... On this sky, only heavy darkness extends infinitely ahead.
The so-called "no five fingers to reach out" is this. No matter how you run forward, you can't see the boundaries of the four fields clearly, and you can't even grasp the road conditions that are close to you. The world seems to be dissolved in the darkness before dawn, and you can't see anything, only the night with different shades expands infinitely ahead.
It was like peeking at the bottomless abyss - no, it was just running under the abyss. Beat operated the advance transport vehicle to race on the hills without roads, and the steel body quickly jumped over gentle slopes one by one, while gently avoiding the obstacles in front of the railings.
The lights that appear and disappear from time to time can be seen in areas slightly far away from other vehicles, and are other members of the surprise attack - but the lights disappeared in an instant. This was not beyond Volufez's expectations. Everything was part of the original plan. The lights were only used to maintain contact, otherwise the lights that flashed in the dark would undoubtedly attract the attention of the enemy.
But in a moment, the outline of the light armored vehicles disappeared from their sight, and it seemed as if they were swallowed by darkness in one breath. Obviously, this "plan" looked like a suicide without any sense of tragic, but the garrison officers did not look nervous at all.
However, Beat was unable to control his uneasiness. He was not resistant to the point of "sacrificing his own life to protect others", but was nervous about facts that were difficult to see through ahead. In essence...it was probably the fear that biological instincts had for the "unknown".
Perhaps rationality can suppress this anxiety. But after the passion subsides, all that remains is cold. Perhaps it is not easy to become a fourth-class guard patrol at this age, but the young Beat does not have the experience accumulated by his predecessors. He cannot suppress the chills in his body.
The trembling ground made Beat's hand shake more clearly - as if the mountains were making loud noises, and there were heavy sounds flowing on the other end of the horizon that was blocked by shadows. The loud noises became clearer and clearer, like the constant wail of the earth, telling about his pain and fear.
The sound of the wind passing by the car was buzzing, full of speechless intimidation. In order to act accurately, Beat stared at the darkness ahead, but he couldn't see anything. He tried to move his arms with difficulty. However, the nervous nerve information on his body made his feelings about time messy.
The gradually colder air made him feel as if he had sunk into the water, and his movements became extremely slow, leaving only the tension that enveloped his whole body prompting Beat to accurately control the advance transport vehicle to drive forward. To be honest, it is not easy to have no abnormality yet.
"Can you please drive more steadily? Don't you know someone is lying on the luggage rack?"
Through the whine of the wind, the girl came from the roof of the transport truck in a proud tone: "I can tell you that I was almost thrown off when you crossed the steep slope just now - it fell down at this speed. Even I would have been unable to breathe for a long time."
It was like he was trying to make fun of Beat's trembling. Liqi's tone seemed quite stern, making him feel as if he was being scolded by his superiors. He was obviously a younger girl than him, but he didn't care about the hidden dangers ahead - but as a security officer, he was trembling.
When Beat thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The indifference that Liqi showed was completely opposite to the recklessness of the young warrior when she first started her journey. There was no fluctuation of emotion in her eyes that lacked spirit. It was as if she had crossed countless dangers a long time ago, and now she was just moving to the next battlefield again.
"Sorry... If you want to blame you, just blame the terrain." He looked up at Liqi hanging on the luggage rack, and the girl stared at him expressionlessly. "Although this 'advance transport vehicle' can drive on most terrains, it still cannot guarantee comfort."
It seems that he is not very satisfied with Beat's explanation. Liqi angrily "hum" and then raised her eyes and swayed to the depths of the darkness. For some reason, Beat felt that the atmosphere around Liqi was very wonderful. Although his words and deeds seemed quite young, he had the courage that he didn't want to be of age.
——No, not right.
Beat suddenly felt a chill, and even the quilt that had been straightened up before shrank slightly - he suddenly felt that the girl's eyes were not so pure. She was not afraid of death because of her bravery, but because she had become a member of the deceased, she was not rejected by death.
"Tsk tsk, you're shaking so hard, I'd known you should have changed into a dry dress first." Curt's voice came from behind Beat's head, causing his head to start thinking back to reality. "But now I have to use simple spells to dry you first."
The next moment, he felt his body be wrapped in a ball of warm air, and the moisture in the cloth filled with clothes began to slowly disappear. There is no doubt that this is the effect of a spell, and for Beat, who has no knowledge of this technology, it is almost the same as "miracle".
In this warm air, Beat felt the wind's moan disappear, and his horror towards the unknown subsided a little. At least he was sure that the girl who casted the spell was indeed a magician, and now she was depressed with weird words on her face.
The short journey ended soon, and a huge structure suddenly appeared in the darkness at the other end of the night. The dark rain curtain covered everything, and its outline could only be seen through the searchlight projected by the mobile troops in the distance, and the details could not be seen clearly.
"What a big deal, they have hollowed out the bottom of the monastery?"
Through the heavy rain curtain, Curt smiled and commented on the rocky statue not far away: "To be honest, when I was a child, I dreamed of sitting on a golem that was as high as a mountain. But I thought that this 'dream' was just an illusory fantasy."
It was a golem made of soil and boulders. At first glance, it was like a mountain moving slowly. When Beat saw it from a distance, he was already amazed at its huge size. Now, after observing it at a distance of about a hundred meters, he realized how huge this "hill" has.
"It would be better for you to leave your stupid daydream in your dreams - it would be better to have this magic power, and it would be better to directly blast the city hall from the foundation part, so why drive such a stupid big guy?" Liqi curled her lips disdainfully, as if she was not interested in this rocky giant statue. "Even if they did succeed in surpassing their ancestors and creating a huge golem beyond imagination, it would have no meaning at all."
That is a bare hill with several uneven metal pillars placed on the top - except that there is nothing and no extra decoration. It is worth noting that slight light is revealed on the joints of this structure, and it looks like a few clusters of fireflies from afar.
Beat once again confirmed that this was definitely not a monster that human power could match - the absolute difference in body size has made it invincible when facing ordinary people. It only needs to gently move its little finger, and the flesh and blood of the mortal body may turn into a fuzzy fragment on the spot.
This is not only humans, but also steel machines made with modern technology. On the road where this cowboy once marches, several armored vehicles were emitting black smoke and burnt debris scattered around. No matter how Beat looked at them, these were vehicles held by the mobile forces. I am afraid that most of them were the result of spells cast by the spells that controlled the rock cowboy.
A mess - cracked earth, broken trees, and even armored vehicles that had turned into fragments all explained to them how tragic the melee represented by the explosion that they heard not long ago. The fireballs dropped by the spells successfully hit several vehicles of the mobile troops and blew them upside down. As for the remaining vehicles, they all wisely distanced the stone statue.
He didn't even know why Curt and Liqi could tease each other calmly when facing this monster, but thanks to their calmness, Beat reluctantly calmed down. He silently glanced at the slow moving huge stone statue not far away, and it was still stepping forward ignorantly.
On the huge body surrounded by earth and rocks, four metallic structures are placed - huge and sturdy. The colossus imitates the human-shaped structure, but the appearance carved from the rock has a unique style, as if there is a mysterious force that changes the surrounding atmosphere.
What overflows is the sense of pressure - not only a simple matter of size and weight. As a "artificial creature", it can be said to have condensed a large number of magicians' efforts and efforts, and finally brewed this colossus, so there will be some unique trait entangled on it.
And now, their purpose is to turn this hard work into ashes.
"Are you ready?"
I used the auxiliary scope installed on the heavy mechanic gun to observe the golem that was about to reach the predetermined position: "It is estimated that it will take about half a moment, and my brothers have installed the things needed in the predetermined position in the first step. As long as we send a signal, the gift will be detonated."
He stared at the appearance of the huge rock golem and the structure that exposed the mixed rock and clay, of course—there was nothing else there, and the only thing that could attract his attention was the rock field as a predetermined location. Not long ago, the team members who rushed to the front using their mobility had already arranged the processed by Liqi.
