Chapter 138·External momentum...and military front
The inability to leave Egypt means that the area of maneuver for the reincarnators is reduced. This means that the possibility of seeking foreign aid from elsewhere has become an impossible option.
And misfortune never walks alone.
"Can't go up." After obtaining the information, Mou Gang turned into an aerial fighter plane and rushed into the sky covered by the sandstorm at Jiang Yu's signal. He came back five minutes later with electric sparks all over his body. Even though he transformed into a mortal body, he still had a lot of external injuries on his body.
Zhan Lan treated him. When the Holy Light falls, the recovery speed is much slower than before.
"Sorry, I can't pass through the storm layer." He showed an apologetic expression, obviously blaming himself for his failure. "After the altitude exceeded two thousand meters, the intensity of the sandstorm approached the resistance limit of my shell. And when it reached three thousand meters... I had a premonition of death."
Three thousand meters.
It is normal for sandstorms to cover a height of five thousand meters.
And this huge sandstorm spread all over Egypt, even at the time when the previous bomber group was still able to drop bombs. It can also extend the coverage to about six kilometers.
"Sandstorms should not have this intensity." - But this is incorrect, unscientific, and unphysical.
"Your avatar shell can withstand even a few missiles, and it can even move forward regardless of high-altitude debris when passing through the atmosphere. And if the sandstorm here can cause a breakdown in your shell. Then..."
"The entire land of Egypt will be reduced to ruins, if not to the ground."
The first half of the sentence was spoken by Jiang Yu, and the second half was spoken by Zhan Lan - she pressed her forehead and gave more information.
"But so far, it seems that there are not many casualties in Egypt. I have just scanned a few cities, and the people inside are just surprised by the abnormal sandstorms in the past few days. Even the chaos in Cairo makes them even more afraid... And I I also scanned Alexandria and the Suez Canal, where overseas ships... can pass normally. However, I can't see where they have gone."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Zha also showed a solemn expression.
"It means that my mental power cannot be scanned out." Zhan Lan glanced at him. "My mental scan can cover within the sandstorm, but it cannot go beyond the scope of the sandstorm... I can't see anything outside Egypt. I'm trapped here."
"We are trapped here." Jiang Yu corrected. His face was solemn. "This is a sandstorm targeting us...targeting the reincarnations. Seth, the god of foreigners...as foreigners, we are targeted in Seth's domain. Even if we are just fish in the pond."
"The last move of the Indian team." Zheng Zha clenched his fists, his joints creaking. "Damn it! I wish I could have killed that werewolf earlier!"
"It can't be done." Jiang Yu shook his head. "Although the Indian team is weaker than us, they still have the strength to fight. As the second strongest person in charge of the dead hand, we cannot kill Arot in one blow, and it will not affect the weapons he carries with him. Contractual... accountability is a meaningless move. Now, we need to figure out how to deal with subsequent developments."
He turned his head and looked at Chu Xuan, who seemed determined to become a logistics worker.
"Chu Xuan, do you have any insights into the current situation?"
There is a possibility that Chu Xuan did not discover the Yinzhou team's dead hand in advance. However, it should be very low. Jiang Yu was more willing to believe that Chu Xuan noticed some clues, but chose to turn a blind eye for various reasons - but there was also no evidence.
And Chu Xuan did not answer his question directly.
"A few minutes ago, the high-altitude satellite I launched earlier lost contact." He has a high-tech laptop on his lap. And he turned the computer screen upside down, facing other people's field of vision. "And before it went offline, I happened to find something interesting."
He raised his finger and tapped a few points on the screen.
"Here, here, and here - when we were bombing indiscriminately and waging war in this land of Egypt. Many indigenous people who had heard about the disaster in Cairo were hurriedly fleeing into the distance. Many civilian ships were hurriedly fleeing. Leaving Egypt, however, at the same time, there were three forces from three places approaching Egypt in the opposite direction."
There were three fleets, one sailing from England. One departs from the Mediterranean. And the third branch... comes from the Apennine Peninsula, Rome.
"I just deciphered their fleet communications through the backup surveillance data. I didn't find any valuable intelligence. However, I know their affiliation."
"The Council of Avalon, the Goblin Knights." - A fleet from England, their ships covered in a layer of fog.
"Knights of Malta, Foreign Order." - A fleet from the Mediterranean, their ships are as sharp as swords on the satellite view.
"Rome, Vatican. Inquisition." - The fleet from Rome, their starting point is the farthest, but their location is very close. Just like their ships can sail on dry land, the route is directly calculated as a straight-line distance.
And the small wooden plaque from the Eastern Strangers Association also appeared in Chu Xuan's hand. And, it emits a fine glow.
"This is a world with gods...there are supernatural powers, and supernatural powers are significantly interfering with the real world. In the eyes of the overlords in the world, Immorton may not be considered the top powerhouse. And we and The conflict between Inzhou and Immorton. After causing such huge damage, it obviously violated some... rules jointly established by the overlords of the world."
"Set's storm is beneficial to us. It restricts us from leaving, but it also keeps the indigenous forces of this world out of the storm - regardless of whether Set's storm also restricts them. Effect. At least, until the storm subsides, or weakens. These supernatural forces that come to pursue violators...will not easily enter Egypt."
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses.
"My analysis is this - this team battle should end as soon as possible. Because we don't have enough time. Challenging the apostles of Set is probably the least difficult option for us. Of course, we can also make a bet. Will the identity wooden tags on our bodies play a life-saving role when we have to come into contact with these real overlords?"
"...I think this is unlikely." Zhan Lan lowered his eyes. "This is the twentieth century, the 1920s. And the power layout of this world has not changed much compared to reality. I am afraid that the Oriental Strangers Association does not have a lot of energy. Even our identity wooden cards will have some effect. Not a pleasant effect.”
"It seems we have no choice." Zheng Zha twitched the corner of his mouth. "But I quite like this only solution. We reincarnators have to take the simple and rough path."
He said this on purpose, to give Jiang Yu a step forward and to reduce possible troubles after making a decision. Since one of the main members has taken the lead in expressing his approval, even if there is a problem and the blame is divided, he and Jiang Yu will shoulder the blame.
And Jiang Yu's fingers lightly tapped the table in front of her.
Chu Xuan's information was correct - he knew very well that this was not a coincidence, nor was it a strange name given by the forces in this world. Because of the world view of The Mummy-The Scorpion King, even in the original movie, it is a place where demons are dancing. And if it is replaced with a customized version of the original version of the first generation, the degree of distortion will be even greater.
In the Zhongzhou region, there are volcanic pavilions housing the saint's legacy. The prototype of the main god serves as a guard.
In South America, there are relics of immortal saints from the ancient times, and there are golden masks that can be molded with suspected fifth-level power.
In Europe, there are perfect creatures that are infinitely close to being equal to the fourth level by virtue of their own talents. And they even remain anonymous.
In addition, as the center of the story, Egypt, where the will of the gods has never left, it would be illogical if there were not a lot of inexplicable and powerful supernatural forces in this world...
So, there is no choice. There is no escape. The huge sandstorm set off by Set during the air-to-air battle between Central Continent and Indo Continent can even be understood as the isolation protection that the main god deliberately deployed to prevent the two reincarnation teams from being beaten in the face by a third party that suddenly jumped out. cover.
Jiang Yu's tapping of her fingertips stopped abruptly.
"Let's go to the Temple of Set," he said. "We're going with the Gravekeepers' troops."
"Zhan Lan, have you obtained the general layout of the Temple of Set from the memories of the reincarnation members of the Indian team?"
"Yes." Zhan Lan nodded. "I noted the location and the basic terrain. I knew where the altar was. I even captured the scene where the Sun Sutra was placed on the altar."
"Then reproduce it in the spiritual link." Jiang Yu said, and quickly formulated a battle plan. "Our main mission is to annihilate Immorton, not to fight against the Messenger of Set. If we don't trigger the side mission, then what we have to do is to get the Sun Gold Sutra with the least loss, and then quickly complete the main mission. That way We can turn back directly. And if we trigger the branch line but cannot defeat the strong enemy in front of us, then we will deal with it according to this plan."
"We need to divide into two teams, and the newcomers can be handed over to the tombkeepers for protection. Of course, the more important thing is to keep an eye on Immorton's sealed box. Then, Zhao Yingkong and Zero Point, while we try to hold back the Seth envoy. You guys Find a way to steal the Golden Book of the Sun - take it with you, and then immediately go to meet Qi Tengyi or the tombkeeper, who will quickly find the spell that deprives Imogen of his mana. And the judgment that has penetrated Imogen's body The spear should be able to execute it - and if the plan does not succeed, then we will fight to the end with the envoy of Set."
He made the move without objection. Zero nodded silently. Zhao Yingkong also hummed slightly.
So……
"Chu Xuan, what do you think is the chance of us running into Princess Ammanette in that movie?"
"It's very big." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "We may encounter an agile opponent. However, I think the Lord God has given enough hints."
"The Tomb Keepers are not powerful individually. They mainly possess superb martial arts and large scale. And now, the leader Eddie is gathering his troops."
"We have to be prepared to directly join the large-scale battlefield."
