Chapter 176 AT—SO Walker
"Get in the car! We can't stay here for long!"
Just as Xu Mu and Celia stopped at the Sky Pier.
A small manned flying car came straight towards them from not far away.
There was almost no time for Xu Mu and Celia to react.
The car door was opened quickly.
Two high-precision robotic arms extended from it and directly grabbed Xu Mu and Celia by the collars.
Soon, blue flames spurted out from under the soft air cushion of the flying car, and it soared directly into the air.
Hanging Xu Mu and Celia, they flew away instantly.
And just as the car drove away.
A large missile fell from the sky and hit the sky pier squarely.
"----boom!!!----"
A huge firework exploded behind Xu Mu, and the strong airflow caused by the bomb almost blew him off the mechanical arm.
When it was completely away from the center of the explosion, the robotic arm slowly retracted.
Throw Xu Mu and Celia into the car.
Look back again.
The Sky Pier had been bombed beyond recognition, and the air extradition port at the pier had even been blown in two, completely blocking the landing base for air transport.
If it was a little later, Xu Mu estimated that he would be blown away by this large missile.
You know, this missile comes from the hands of an enemy of level 70 at the lowest, let alone the 10x debuff.
Even if Xu Mu's frontal defense was increased tenfold, he would not be able to withstand this attack.
"Wuhu~It's so fucking exciting." At this time, the pilot sitting in the cockpit whistled.
Xu Mu then looked back and saw a young man with an afro in the cockpit.
At this moment, a wireless signal came from the headset he was wearing.
"How's the situation at the airport terminal?"
"Thanks to me, there were no casualties. I rescued them all and put them back in the car, which is returning. The old woman is fine, so I'll hang up first. Don't try to disturb me while I'm distracted while driving this broken thing. The chance of an air crash is very high." After cutting off the communication, the man turned around and looked at Xu Mu and Celia with a smile.
"My name is Covey, they like to call me Reckless Covey, but as you can see, I am a gentleman."
Hearing this, Xu Mu suddenly realized.
Oh, it's you, kid.
But you, who fly the plane with one hand and don't even look at the road, can never be considered a gentleman.
"What about you? Are you here to travel to the heaven? Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time." Covey grinned, turned his head back to look at the empty road ahead, and said casually: "Ghent has encountered some minor troubles for the time being."
"A little trouble... do you mean the enemy is about to attack your lair..." The innocent Celia asked cautiously, but Xu Mu pulled her wrist imperceptibly, so she quickly shut up: "Sorry, I think I said the wrong thing..."
"Hey, it's okay. We old Ghent people never talk about these taboos. A nameless villain like Kallet is just a flash in the pan. Back then, our heaven was able to escape death from the hands of that stupid dragon Bakkar. Kallet is not worth mentioning."
Covey seems to have a single-celled brain.
Originally, they received orders from their superiors to go to the airport terminal to evacuate the people, because according to the intercepted internal information of Kallet, they were going to blow up the airport terminal and cut off Ghent's last food supply.
But Covey seemed to be only responsible for executing the rescue orders issued by his superiors, and he didn't care whether the people he rescued had any problems or not.
An elf-like girl and a young man in a white windbreaker with a long sword on his back.
No matter how you look at it, it can't be associated with the word "common people".
But Covey didn't even ask a single question of doubt, and simply assumed that Xu Mu and Celia were civilians, or at least tourists to heaven.
Along the way, he held Xu Mu's hand and chatted with her about all sorts of things.
From the customs and habits of heaven, to the food culture, to the trivial military life.
It was not until the airship entered the heavily guarded imperial capital that Covey calmed down and his expression became stern.
After the airship landed steadily, Covey came out and a woman wearing crimson armor and with three or four obvious scars on her face led the soldiers forward.
Behind her followed a group of soldiers armed with guns, ready for battle.
Xu Mu took a quick glance and found that the ranks of these soldiers were all the same [???]
The properties are also completely uninspectable.
The only thing that can be seen is the color of the level icons of these NPC soldiers.
The color is light green, which represents neutral/relatively safe.
Xu Mu couldn't help but think.
If we take out our weapons and kill all these soldiers belonging to the Imperial Capital Army at this time.
Will I be classified into the Kallet camp by default...
Of course, that’s just my thought.
Not to mention a random soldier that appears here, the damage is enough to kill me eight hundred times in an instant.
Even if I can beat him.
In the future, we will have to rely on them to help us suppress the naval artillery fire.
After all, in the original game, it seemed that 20 players worked together to annihilate Antun.
But in fact, the adventurer sneaked into Antun's body with the help of the Heavenly Imperial Army.
The adventurers were able to defeat Antun only after the Imperial Capital Army had cut off almost all of Antun's energy supply.
Otherwise, with the power of an apostle, it would be impossible for a player who is only level 86 and has not even reached the third awakening, and is wearing a tattered Wallace suit, to tear Antun apart with bare hands.
If he became a traitor and defected to Heaven, it would mean that he could basically no longer rely on Heaven for subsequent output of Antun .
"Who are these two?" The scarred woman who was leading the group walked forward with a stern gaze, giving off an oppressive aura.
Even the carefree Covey put away his playful smile.
"They are the travelers I just met."
"Traveler?" The woman narrowed her eyes and glanced at Xu Mu: "Will there be travelers coming to the heaven during this time period?"
Compared to Covey's looseness, women's are obviously much stricter.
While she was in doubt, the soldiers behind her obviously tightened their grip on their guns.
Xu Mu calmly took out a document from his arms and handed it over.
The woman took the letter, opened it and read it.
"Huh? A personal recommendation letter from Sharan?"
After opening it, she looked at it carefully again.
Suddenly, the look towards Xu Mu became complicated.
"Mastering all professions..."
"This talent is rare in the entire planet Arad."
"And he also repaired the magic circle left by the great magician Mal..."
After quickly reading it, the woman changed her previous cold attitude and instantly became enthusiastic towards Xu Mu.
She took the initiative to extend her hand and shook hands with Xu Mu, then with a bit of apology she asked the soldiers behind her to put their guns back, and then she smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, warrior. This is a special period. The princess was kidnapped not long ago. We really have to be on high alert to prevent Kallet's group of insects from sneaking in disguised as spies again. Those illiterate and rude barbarians love to play these tricks the most."
"Hello, my name is Zedin Schneider, and I am currently the first-level captain of the Imperial Capital Army's security team."
"So you are Ze Ding?" Xu Mu was slightly stunned.
As a 2D horizontal game, the images of many characters in DNF are rather one-sided.
As a result, when Xu Mu first saw Ze Ding, whose image was fuller and more vivid, he didn't even recognize him.
In his previous life, Xu Mu even once thought Ze Ding was a grown man. It was only until she followed the player to fight in the later plot that he realized that she was a female ammunition.
"Do you know me?" Zedin asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, I've heard something about it." Xu Mu said vaguely.
At this moment, a front-line soldier hurried over from a distance and whispered in Zedin's ear to report the battle situation.
Hearing this, Ze Ding frowned and said, "The outer perimeters of the East Gate, South Gate, and North Gate have all been breached, and only the West Gate is still struggling to hold on. Is this... already so serious..."
When Xu Mu heard this, he thought this was a good time to take on the main quest.
He stepped forward decisively and recommended himself.
"If there is any need, I can help."
Ze Ding looked at Xu Mu with a little hesitation, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Although NPCs cannot see the player's level overview.
But one can also vaguely feel some strength.
She did not feel the strength of a strong person from Xu Mu.
Even the weapon in his hand didn't seem to be very refined.
We are polite to him because of his talent. With time, he will surely grow into a towering tree.
But definitely not right now.
Just when Ze Ding was thinking about how to politely refuse Xu Mu, he heard Xu Mu say.
"The Imperial Capital Army is seriously short of manpower right now. I can supplement some of your manpower. And you don't need to pay any extra money."
Hearing this, Ze Ding was stunned again, and when he came to his senses, his eyes were filled with hope.
"Really? I've heard that your Adventurer's Guild travels far and wide and has a wide network of contacts. If you, Warrior, can provide reinforcements and help the Heaven Realm regain the lost land, we in the Heaven Realm will certainly remember your great kindness for generations to come! ... So, Warrior, how many reinforcements can you provide for us?"
Originally, Zedin had made a brief calculation in his mind.
If we want to defeat Kallet, it might be difficult to rely solely on reinforcements.
But if he wanted to repel Kallet and defend Ghent, he would only need to give himself another 50,000 troops.
If it really doesn't work, thirty thousand is also fine...
"Eight million." Xu Mu just opened his mouth.
The whole place was silent.
It's not just Zedin.
Even Covey, including the group of soldiers behind him.
They all looked at Xu Mu in amazement.
"Mr. Duo...Mr. Duo?" Ze Ding even stuttered a bit while speaking.
"Eight million." Xu Mu repeated again: "They are following my plan and climbing up to the heavens in an orderly manner along the Sky City. It is estimated that they will arrive soon. You only need to give them orders, and they will obey your arrangements."
Zedin couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Guigui... eight million warriors?
The total number of people who have joined the army in Ghent in recent decades does not reach this number.
There is really such help.
Don't even mention helping in the battle.
If everyone spitted, the Kallet base would be flooded...
But precisely because this power is too great, Zedin always feels it is unrealistic.
She looked at Xu Mu cautiously and asked in confirmation: "Warrior, are you sure... it's eight million? Didn't you say an extra 'ten thousand'?"
"According to the current situation, I may have said less than 10,000 words." Xu Mu said calmly.
According to the previous life, eight million warriors was considered a lot.
But right now, there are 1.6 billion people entering the copy. Even if the 8 million is changed to 800 million, there are only 800 million players.
"This..." There was some shock in Ze Ding's eyes when he looked at Xu Mu.
But deep down, I still have complete disbelief.
until--
"Captain! There are suddenly more than 100 airships at the airport terminal... and the number is still growing exponentially!! They are all adventurers from the Arad continent who are shouting to support us!" One of his men ran up in a panic to report, and he almost fell down because he was too hasty.
When he rushed to Zedin and stood at attention, he added in more detail: "According to conservative estimates, there are at least thousands of adventurers on each airship!"
"What did you say?" Zedin's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he directly opened the communication video screen connecting to the floating satellite.
After switching the camera several times.
As expected, she saw thousands of airships densely packed near the Sea of Sky below the airport terminal, ready to be extradited into the port.
But unfortunately, the extradition device at the airport terminal had just been blown up by Kallet.
As a result, thousands of ships were unable to dock at all.
Even with technology as advanced as the heavens, devices like airships still have to obey the most basic laws of physics.
It needs to rely on aerodynamics and fuel propulsion systems to soar in the air, and also needs the port's extradition electromagnetic waves to tow it to land.
More importantly, large airships need a place to dock and disembark.
But this large site has been bombed.
More than a thousand ships were trapped in the Sky Sea with all their crews.
Seeing such a huge reinforcement, Zedin almost popped his eyes out.
He turned around again and looked at Xu Mu with a shocked expression.
However, now is not the time to talk about this.
She hurriedly asked her men: "How long will it take to repair?"
"Probably... three days? And we also need to make sure that Kallet 's gang won't bomb this place a second time..." the soldier answered with difficulty.
"Mobilize as many troops as possible and guard the airport at all costs!" Zedin shouted.
"But sir... our Ghent is almost broken... If we mobilize troops at this time, our Ghent will probably be penetrated..."
"Fight to the death! Break through if you have to! The princess is not in the palace anyway, and defending the airport is our only hope of winning!! Otherwise, you, me, them, and those Imperial Capital soldiers who are still struggling to hold on will all die!" Ze Ding said angrily.
What a joke!
This batch of recruits is at least 100,000! And more are coming in continuously.
This was a situation that even Zedin had never dreamed of.
As long as you can hold on, there will be hope of victory!
She had never expected that Xu Mu alone could lead such a large group of adventurers to go together.
Heaven is saved!
These adventurers are indeed loyal and righteous!
Of course, Zedin didn't know the real situation that led to this scene.
These so-called adventurers were not sent by Xu Mu.
It was purely because Xu Mu had just opened up the road to heaven.
A group of players who wanted to give it a try began to tentatively charge towards the heavens.
After all, in the early stage, the level was already far behind the T0 level troops.
If you want to turn things around, you can only rely on this kind of risky strategy to win.
And there are more ordinary players who want to fight for a shot.
Large group players at the T0 level will also begin to worry about losing their leading advantage.
Thus, they joined the army of internal circulation.
As a result, more and more people began to flock to the Sky City, trying to catch this wave of east wind.
Xu Mu had anticipated all of this.
He took advantage of the situation to make use of them and gain more say in front of the NPCs in heaven.
As expected.
After this incident, Ze Ding's eyes changed when he looked at Xu Mu.
If at the beginning it was because of his amazing talent in mastering all professions, there was a bit of politeness and respect in the form of exclamation.
Now, it is admiration from the bottom of my heart.
Zedin stood up straight and saluted Xu Mu. His scarred face showed a sacred and solemn expression: "Adventurer! Thank you for your efforts in helping the heaven! The people of the heaven will always remember your name! From now on, on behalf of all the imperial army of Ghent, I grant you the highest authority to command and mobilize the imperial army!"
After a pause, she whispered, "Although it's only temporary, I don't have that much power yet... Commander-in-Chief Jacket is the one who makes the final decision, but he has now gone to the Eaton Industrial Zone and is racking his brains to deal with the giant electric beast Antun... But please rest assured! Even if Commander Jacket hears about your kindness to the heavens, he will definitely agree with my move."
Zedin's approach was very smart.
Since Xu Mu is able to mobilize such a large number of adventurers to reinforce the Heaven Realm, if the power is not delegated to him and they instead obey his orders, it may cause dissatisfaction to Xu Mu.
She needs these eight million warriors more than the few tens of thousands of soldiers in the Imperial Capital Army who are currently struggling to survive!
Furthermore, whether it is Xu Mu, the rising star adventurer who has caused a sensation in the continent of Arad, or the handwritten letter of recommendation from Sharan, the president of the Magic Guild, who has a good personal relationship with him and occasionally contacts him by phone.
All of this made Ze Ding trust Xu Mu even more.
"As for the right to deploy these warriors, I don't want it. When the time comes, you just need to tell them that this is a mission, and they will naturally be happy to help."
"As for me, if you feel guilty and you have to give me something..." Xu Mu paused for a moment and said what he had already planned in his mind.
"Why not give me a mech, the AT-SO Walker."
