Chapter 126: To Protect Oneself and Preserve the Foundation, the Astrologer's Crazy Prediction [
Chapter 126: To protect oneself and preserve the foundation, the crazy prediction of the astrologer [Please subscribe]
Under the pseudo night, the two sisters Rebecca and Dora were sitting at the table and feasting.
Among them, the little cat girl held a big lobster in her hand, easily broke the shrimp shell, and with a slight roll of her clove tongue, her pink little mouth sucked out the plump and firm big pieces of shrimp meat.
The cooking juice dripped down her fingers.
Chen Xuan watched the three women tasting seafood with interest.
"Well, I didn't expect the Dax lobster man to be so delicious!"
The little cat girl said with satisfaction.
Dora Silan and Dora Belia also followed suit.
"Delicious, delicious!"
"Dragon... lobster man is delicious!"
Chen Xuan grinned and explained softly.
"This is not a lobster man..."
"But they should be related."
"Just like cats and cat-eared people."
The three women nodded in sudden enlightenment and continued to eat bitterly.
Among all the slaves of Chen Xuan, the one who lives with him is the most blessed.
This time he returned to Naroa Continent temporarily, but he didn't have anything important to do.
He just came back to practice magic in his spare time.
Earlier, Chen Xuan bought three magic crystals in the Crooked Bone Market.
They are:
Water-based second-level magic [Turbid Waves and Rapids]
Earth-based first-level magic [Earth Spikes]
Nature-based first-level magic [Thorns Entangled].
At present, he has not learned [Earth Spikes] yet, so he should learn it first.
As the saying goes, more magic means more roads.
What awaits him in Myawaddy is likely to be a fierce battle.
The Buddhist army has heavy firepower.
The ethnic armed forces of Myanmar are generally equipped with 59D tanks.
There are also MMT-40 light tanks that were "made in Myanmar" and were seized from the government army.
There are also armed vehicles such as WMA301 wheeled assault guns and the Mi-35 armed helicopters of the Russian bear.
In the town of Myawaddy, Chen Xuan saw many Willys jeeps equipped with M60 heavy machine guns.
Most of these "old goods" came from the Bald Eagle from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Finally, individual heavy weapons such as RPG, even the 40-mm firearms of the 56-type and 69-type made in China, the 80-mm firearms of the 89-type, and the American recoilless guns are emerging in an endless stream.
So much so that in the disputes between local armed forces and government forces a few years ago.
There were even cloud bombs fired by the 89-type rocket launcher made in China and the 63-type 107mm rocket launcher on the vehicle, the latter of which was hailed as a "guerrilla weapon".
This gun is very light and flexible. When not loaded with rockets, it weighs only 0.385 tons.
When the 12 0.9-meter-long directional tubes are loaded with rockets, the weight is 0.613 tons.
Each rocket weighs 18.8 kilograms, and ordinary Blue Star soldiers can easily carry one each.
It can also withstand long-distance marches in complex terrain.
The rocket has an initial velocity of 372 meters per second, a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers, and a firing interval of 0.6-0.8 seconds.
The regular configuration consists of a 5-person artillery squad, which can be carried by a small off-road truck. If necessary, the directional tube can be removed and carried up the mountain by people to be converted into a light mountain rocket launcher, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare.
Because the 107mm rocket launcher has strong firepower and great explosive power, it can fire 12 rockets at a time, which is equivalent to a howitzer battalion, which is beyond the reach of ordinary artillery.
In the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War, the soldiers of the Bald Eagle suffered from this gun.
This has become an indelible nightmare for the White Eagle.
Therefore, in Afghanistan, Iraq and other regions, great attention is paid to the collection of the stray 107mm rocket launchers.
It is known as the three guerrilla weapons together with the AK-47 assault rifle and the RPG-7 rocket launcher.
Therefore, it would be unwise to let Chen Xuan confront the Buddhist army head-on.
The bloody bull-headed demon that was taught a lesson by the HEAT 551 armor-piercing shell has proved the strength of Blue Star's high-powered firearms. No one dares to say that this trip to Myawaddy is 100% risk-free.
Chen Xuan's concept is actually very simple, that is:
"To protect myself and preserve my foundation, I want Myawaddy, why not?"
Unless it is necessary, it is best not to go head-to-head with heavy firepower.
With the ability to withstand small and medium caliber bullets, plus the assistance of the three major plug-ins, he is still very confident that he can directly capture the leader of the Buddhist army!
To capture the thief, first capture the leader.
As long as those leaders are controlled, all the weapons and equipment will belong to him, Chen!
So it is good to improve the strength even a little bit before taking action.
The magic power of Blue Star is poor, which is not suitable for comprehending the mysteries contained in the magic crystal.
Simply return to Naroa to practice magic, and visit the cat girl and others.
Watching the three women eating seafood with relish, Chen Xuan wondered whether he should take the two sisters Dora to Myawaddy to help him.
The smooth swordsmanship of the Zerekan clan would still kill people with one sword in Myanmar, ga ga?
However, after careful consideration, he temporarily ruled out this idea.
Before the foundation is not yet stable, it is better not to involve the women in the disputes on Blue Star.
Besides, the two sisters Dora’s knowledge of firearms is only "entry-level".
If they encounter some fancy heavy firearms and don’t know how to dodge, it is easy to capsize in the ditch.
Enjoying the warm atmosphere around him, Chen Xuan held the [Earth Spike] magic crystal in his hand and closed his eyes to comprehend.
…
Magtan City, the first circle city hall.
All the major associations, guilds and garrison officials in the city were present.
Even the wealthy businessmen in the city were present.
The local lord, Baron Bezos Chibman, sat at the head.
Everyone present looked serious.
In the baron's right-hand seat, a tauren with a mustache and a neat turtleneck coat stood up to speak while holding a stack of documents.
This is Virginio Wuho, the president of the Magtan City Adventurers Association.
Your Excellency the diligent Tauren from the Wuho Clan on the Red Gobi!
The difference between a Minotaur and a Minotaur is like that between a Goblin and a Goblin.
Similar in appearance but different in spirit, the tauren even represents hard work and steadfastness among the Naloa aborigines.
At this time, Virginio Wuho was reporting the latest investigation situation to the city's senior officials.
"Based on the investigation results obtained by a team led by silver-level adventurers such as Silver Hunter Thorne, Howling Ranger Tomby, and Hammerhand Jim."
"Currently, ritualized crypts have appeared in the east, north, and south outside the city."
"There are often third- and fourth-level monsters guarding them."
"It is not ruled out that there are also ritual crypts in the West District."
"By comparing the data, the think tanks of this city's Adventurer Association came to a unanimous conclusion."
"The probability of a demonic disaster erupting around Magatan City within ten Naraya days is more than 80%!"
When Virginia Wuho said this, he paused.
At this time, a middle-aged officer wearing silver armor suddenly stood up.
"My lords and sirs, I am Captain Norman Weiner of the Light Ranger Battalion. I am in charge of the Light Rangers in the city. I am here to report to you about the situation in the Western District."
"Last time, a severe landslide occurred in the monster cave numbered VI in the northern hills of the Eya Forest in the western region of Narayari, and the cave was destroyed."
"There must be an adventurer who destroyed the magic pillar."
"The investigating Rangers found a pile of burned bones nearby."
"The remains of at least hundreds of monsters are piled outside."
"Some of the unburned bodies that were pressed under the boulders were identified and determined to be sergeants from the 172nd Squadron of the city's garrison."
"The cause of their death was very complicated. They suffered from injuries caused by monsters and heavy pressure caused by landslides."
"But there are still traces of the activities of a large number of intelligent races in the surrounding area."
As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking.
Monsters don't set fire to corpses, they just tear out the internal organs and bite the flesh.
No one cared why a garrison squad was there.
What everyone was thinking about was who could be the guy who could kill hundreds of monsters independently and at the same time deal with the garrison squad silently.
When the discussion subsided a little, the captain of the light cavalry battalion named Norman Weiner looked at Virginio Wuho again.
These two guys had obviously prepared their plans a long time ago and were cooperating with each other to introduce the situation.
"Ahem!"
"My lords, although the cave has been buried deep under the pile of rocks."
"But what do hundreds of monster corpses mean..."
"I think everyone should know this, right?"
"Yes, that must be a ritualized monster cave!"
Virginio Wuho took the opportunity to throw out the conclusion.
The above information combined together represents an extremely dangerous signal——
——The evil disaster broke out!
After the report, the tauren and the captain of the Qingqi Battalion took their seats again.
The well-groomed and mature-looking Baron Bezos slowly tapped the table.
"We must act!"
"As the ruler of Magatan City, I request the city hall and the Adventurers Association to issue a crusade order from now on. The city's treasury will put out 200,000 crowns as a reward for the crusade commission."
"The team that completes the expedition order will receive Kingdom Merits."
"Adventurers who attack more than three burrows will be awarded the title of Knight of Meritorious Service!"
"In addition, the garrison will also take action and be responsible for attacking several designated caves!"
"The relevant situation will be reported to the giant city of Attax through magic communication."
"Whether we need to mobilize our troops to request support depends on the results of the recent crusade."
Baron Bezos is really majestic when giving orders.
He paused for a moment and glanced at the wealthy businessmen present.
The focus stays on Ansetus Axl, the leader of the Colchicum Merchant Group.
"The threat of demonic disaster is related to the safety of the city."
"Gentlemen, you should contribute your share."
Baron Bezos spoke. His goal was clear, directed at these merchants who had considerable wealth and supplies.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ansetus raised a hand.
"The Colchicum Merchant Group is willing to sponsor two hundred thousand crowns, fifty magic tears, and two hundred bundles of black iron arrows."
He looked back at Baron Bezos Chebman with calm eyes.
There seemed to be static electricity in the air, and an invisible storm was sweeping through it.
After Ansetus spoke, the businessmen and officials present also raised their hands in support.
Proceeds and supplies will be split into two parts.
One of them is used as a reward for the Adventurer's Association's subjugation order.
The second was used as a subsidy for the garrison's suppression operations.
Only the more than 18,000 garrison troops and tens of thousands of adventurers in the city can be fully mobilized.
Only then can we be sure to check all the dozens of caves around Magtan City in the next three to five Naroa days, focusing on the crusade against the ritualized monster caves.
This is not the first time that the demonic disaster has broken out in the Naroa continent.
The natives have their own way of dealing with this.
Just as this mobilization meeting was in full swing.
In the corner at the back of the long conference table, a sneaky guy with a hunched figure and lowered his head, hiding himself completely in the shadows and hood, suddenly screamed!
"Sparks burn, sparks burn!!"
"Cruelty, selfishness, desire and war will come at any time!!!"
"Ah, hahahahaha!!!!"
The hunched figure manipulated an astrological compass in his hand, suddenly stood up and laughed strangely.
The garrison sergeants responsible for maintaining order in the venue lifted this guy up on the left and right.
"Maggie is going crazy again."
"His predictions from stargazing have never been accurate."
"People who study astrology seem to be crazy."
"Stop talking, Lord Baron, look here..."
...
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone's eyes were focused on the hunched figure.
Most people were used to it, and even showed a nonchalant and mocking expression.
Only Baron Bessos and Ansetus looked solemn.
Stargazing was once a famous celestial prediction technique that the natives of Naroa regarded as a criterion.
Ancient astrologers and stargazers accurately predicted the time and place of natural disasters more than once.
Almost every city would build an observatory tower to worship a few astrologers.
However, after the outbreak of the demonic disaster, the astrologers' divination and celestial predictions suddenly became inaccurate.
Coupled with the disorder of the stars, many astrologers would appear in a state of madness similar to being possessed by demons.
But some nobles still highly respected astrology.
Baron Bezos was one of them.
In fact, only he himself understood that the astrologer named Maggie in front of him was still somewhat famous.
For example, when he was choosing his lifelong event, thanks to his divination, Bezos became the lord of Magtan City.
He raised his hand and signaled the sergeant to carry Maggie over.
This guy was now crying and snot was hanging on the side of his beard, which looked very funny.
"Maggie, what did you see?"
Baron Bezos said gently, looking directly into Maggie's eyes.
"Ahahahaha!"
"The sun ignited a red flame!"
"The terrifying darkness is like a dark cloud pressing down on our heads!"
"Drowned, drowned, drowned! The black tide will drown everything!"
"Ahahaha..."
As he spoke, two bright red nosebleeds flowed from Maggie's nostrils.
Before the rampant laughter ended, he fainted.
"Take him away."
Baron Bezos waved his hand, and Ansethus, who was sitting not far away, also showed a thoughtful expression.
The strange prophecy made the meeting scene vaguely uneasy.
Obviously, what this guy said was not the omen of the current demonic disaster, but some more terrible upheaval.
Of course, the premise is that what he said was not crazy.
Considering that the top priority is to conquer the cave, Baron Bezos did not delve into the prophecy.
But he waved his hand and announced the disbandment.
…
Back row tips and supplements: The results of the natives and the protagonist destroying the cave are different. Only the protagonist can completely destroy the cave. After the natives destroy the magic pillar, the cave will disappear, but it will be "refreshed" somewhere around for a period of time.
PS: I accidentally caught the biggest bug in this book, that is, Ansethus was written as Antuses, and the key is that the two are often mixed. Now they have all been modified.
This proves two things.
First: Western names are indeed difficult to remember
Second: The order of Chinese characters does not affect normal reading
