Chapter 1348 The Emperor's Ambition
Sending regiments to surround the floating fortress, the Great Elder then led an elite group to the platform in front of the fortress castle.
A group of people came to the gate of the castle and tossed about for a long time. After a lot of effort, they were able to enter the castle.
After some searching, the Great Elder and Hynix were full of doubts when they heard the report from the soldiers.
"What's going on, why is there no human race inside?"
"Could it be that they hid it too deep and we didn't find it?"
The Great Elder frowned, transferred a group of troops from the ground, and searched inside the castle again, this time asking the soldiers not to let go of any corners.
After a long time, the search ended, and the result was the same, no trace of the human race was found.
"Could it be that this floating fortress was not left by the human race, but just popped up recently?" Hynix said in a doubtful tone.
Otherwise, how could there be no one in here.
The Great Elder thought for a while, but he still had no idea. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he decided to take the floating fortress back.
"Go and prepare a hundred iron chains, let people fix them at the bottom of this fortress, and we will take them back," said the Great Elder.
Hynix asked in surprise, "Aren't we going to attack the city?"
The Great Elder said with a sullen face: "Can't you see how important this fortress is to our god-born people? We can talk about the siege later, but if this fortress disappears, it will be a huge loss .”
Hynix looked puzzled, he really couldn't see what was important about this fortress, but seeing the serious look on the elder's face, he didn't dare to ask, and immediately took people to carry out the order.
Of course there is no iron chain, but there are substitutes.
The shackles on the hands and feet of Qing Zhuang in Thirty Thousand River City were locked together, and they could make hundreds of chains more than a hundred meters long.
After fixing the chain at the bottom of the fortress and making some preparations, a whole day passed.
The next morning, Hynix came to the Great Elder who was overlooking from the fortress again.
"Is everything ready?"
"It's ready, but I don't know if the 30,000 people can pull it off."
"Try it first, and then say it if it doesn't work."
"yes."
Then Hynix gestured downwards to start.
After receiving the order, the people on the ground began to yell and beat the human race, making them start pulling.
The iron chain was tightened, and amidst the sound of creaking and tightening, the young and strong human race began to exert force like a cow. After a while, the floating fortress began to move slowly.
"okay."
Hynix cried out excitedly when he saw this.
It was rare for the Great Elder to show a smile on his face.
"Great Elder, do you really want to take the fort back?"
Just as the floating fortress was slowly moving forward, Hynix suddenly came to the side of the elder and muttered softly.
The Great Elder naturally understood what Hynix meant by saying this, and said calmly, "Or else."
Hynix thought that the Great Elder didn't understand what he meant, so he said anxiously: "Since you value this fortress so much, Great Elder, why don't we hide it for our own use? In this way..."
"madness."
The Great Elder scolded Hynix without waiting for him to finish speaking.
"Hiding, such a big building, how do you hide and where do you hide."
"Also, do you think the army that came with us this time is all ours, so can we hide it?"
Hynix smiled, and realized that he had come up with a stupid idea.
But a little bit unwilling.
"But if this fortress is brought back, it doesn't mean that the Emperor's strength will be stronger, which is not good for us."
At the end of the day, Hynix also figured out why the Great Elder attached so much importance to this floating fortress. Knowing that this building is quite suitable for the God-descendant people, it can make the God-descendant people even more powerful, and they are proud of the existence of the world from then on.
After realizing this again, he felt that this fortress could not fall into the hands of the God Emperor, otherwise the position of the God Emperor would become more and more stable.
How could the Great Elder not know this, but there was nothing he could do.
Who let this floating fortress be discovered on the marching road, and what he brought this time was not his own direct troops.
If he wanted to hide it, he would never be able to hide it, unless he turned against the Emperor now.
But no matter the timing or the power he has now, it is not enough to fight against the God Emperor, so he has no choice but to obediently pull the floating fortress back.
But it's impossible for him to just give in like this.
At least he still had a chance to do something before he studied the fortress thoroughly.
"Get this floating fortress back first, and talk about other things later." The Great Elder said lightly.
Hynix saw that the great elder said a lot, so he stopped talking.
Five days later, the Divine Emperor who was in Jiangcheng received the news that the Great Elder sent someone back. When he first learned that the Great Elder had gone this time and returned halfway, he was quite unhappy, thinking that the Great Elder was disobeying his orders , but after learning that the Great Elder had discovered and brought back a floating fortress later, he became extremely excited.
"The creation of the age of the gods, the floating castle known as the mobile fortress, I never thought Hilanix would encounter such a thing on the road."
Pacing back and forth in the Shenhuang Hall, I was very excited.
His confidant at the side asked: "Your Majesty, you seem to attach great importance to this floating fortress."
The God Emperor glanced at his confidant, "Nonsense, with this floating fortress, as long as it can fly and move, we will regain the holy city of Shenshan occupied by the demons in a short time, and even in the future, we can borrow it." It came to seek the world and become the only overlord of the mainland."
Ambition burned in the God Emperor's eyes.
The confidant was surprised, "Your Majesty, it's just a castle suspended in the air. With it, we can dominate the world?"
Why don't you believe it, it's too exaggerated.
The Emperor of God was expressionless, and said lightly: "Exaggeration, not at all."
"Although our god race cannot fly for a long time like our ancient ancestors, we can still fly for a short time."
"According to ancient records, floating fortresses can fly at high altitudes, easily reach any place, ignore the terrain, and are difficult to intercept."
"Think about it, if our soldiers, carried by this floating fortress, can ignore the enemy's interception, directly enter the enemy's hinterland, and launch a surprise attack from the sky, how much damage do you think will be caused?"
"Besides, we gods can fly, fight in the sky, fight on the ground, fight if you want, and fly to the fortress to hide if you can't fight. The dominance and initiative of the battle are all in our hands. Do you think there is any enemy who can compete with us. "
After the God Emperor finished speaking, his eyes were like fire, and his heart was scorching hot.
The confidant is also excited.
If it is true as the God Emperor said, then the floating fortress can really allow the gods to dominate the world.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to take over? After all, the Great Elder has evil intentions, and I'm afraid he will have some ideas about the floating fortress on the way." The confidant hurriedly suggested.
The God Emperor waved his hand to say no.
"It doesn't matter, his current strength is not enough for him to have the courage to tear my face apart."
The confidant persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Great Elder is cunning. It will take some time for the floating fortress to reach Jiangcheng, so we must guard against it."
The Emperor of God thought about it, so he said: "Then you bring some people to help me watch."
"yes."
The confidant immediately took the order and left.
