362 Can’t Afford to Play
Ever since he fell into a two-front battle, although he was extremely anxious and in a sorry state, the progress of the battle between the other world and Earth was relatively smooth.
He would use Earth’s weapons to fight the other world’s army and use the magic of the other world to fight Earth’s army.
It was mainly an asymmetric message and an unexpected attack.
The elves were the dignified overlords of the world and the powerful armies of the world. They had still never seen the war method of another system and era. Therefore, they were caught off guard for a moment and suffered a huge loss. It was not surprising.
The so-called army of Gambia was only a group of militia with light weapons. Little Bob’s mercenaries were not the combat strength under the modern military system. They lacked the support of information links and long-range firepower. Moreover, they did not expect the enemy to actually play magic. Of course, they would be beaten up by Kang De.
However, Kang De knew very well that a short victory did not mean that everything would be smooth-sailing from now on.
Once the elves gathered enough information, they could mobilize the huge war potential of the number one country in the world to make a countermeasure. They could reform their combat tactics, formulate new tactics, develop countermeasure magic devices and spells, and mobilize stronger armies. At that time, the war would probably become more and more difficult to fight.
It was the same on Earth. He had only won against a motley crew. If he was complacent from now on and felt that he could punch the British, Americans, and kick the Germans, it would really be crazy.
However, he did not expect this day to come so quickly…
“F*ck!”
Bullets rained down and cannon fire rumbled.
Kang De’s figure flashed continuously, but the firepower coverage still chased after him as if it had eyes. In the past, he could enter anyone’s territory as if he had an invisibility spell. Today, it was actually useless!
What was going on?
The Invisibility Cloak was still operating. His figure had indeed fused into nature and was as one. Logically speaking, there should not be any flaws. At the very least, he would not be locked onto and attacked, right?
Machine cannons fired densely, the mortars emitted empty sounds, and the heavy machine guns roared continuously. Smoke rose, and the air tore through the air. Air waves flew, and sound waves shook. It was the horror of death, the echo of the end.
In the past few days, only Kang De could suppress others with firepower. This time, it was actually the other way around. He was really not used to it. Of course, most of them were stunned.
What was going on?
Why was the invisibility spell useless?
Did the base have any high-tech detection methods?
Life detectors had indeed been played to perfection. There was no need to say anything about traditional infrared, sound waves, and even radar detectors. The latest technology could even determine the location through the ultra-low-frequency radio field produced by the human heart beating. This was only civilian, let alone military technology.
However, this efficiency was too fast!
Almost after Kang De completed the teleportation, the firepower coverage of various light and heavy weapons would immediately be in place. Even if Little Bob controlled these French soldiers through the mind control device, the command efficiency of this mind link was too high. Although it was not impossible, Kang De felt that things were not that simple…
Ever since he accepted the Fire Thief inheritance, after continuous extraction and enchantment training, after mental tempering, and even facing the King of the Gods, Kang De’s mental strength had long risen. His sensory spiritual perception far exceeded that of mortals. His current feeling was that something was watching him.
That ancient relic of Comoros.
Little Bob.
Kang De’s heart skipped a beat.
The sound of the engine on the runway vaguely sounded through the explosion of the cannonball.
The situation was urgent and there was no time to think carefully. If he delayed a little longer, Little Bob Burr would escape with the divine artifact that could control people. Once his plane took off, it would basically be very difficult to catch up. Although Kang De’s current strength was powerful, he was still helpless against the sky.
This was completely letting the tiger return to the mountain and would definitely bring endless future trouble. Be it Little Bob being incorporated by the relevant countries or hiding his identity, not to mention revenge, his family would definitely face a huge threat.
He had to stop him.
Kang De gritted his teeth and thought of a countermeasure.
The French were all controlled by Little Bob’s mind like puppets, so they listened to the order and attacked. He only needed to use the Group Dispel Scroll to remove this controlled state.
However, the problem was that Little Bob had also thought of this. The French firepower points in the base were extremely scattered. The range of the scroll was limited, and the firepower was extremely dense. Even with Kang De’s current ability and methods, he was unwilling to forcefully endure the dense shooting of large-caliber machine guns and even autocannons. He had seen too many negative cases in the past few battles.
What should he do?
F*ck!
—Then I’ll show you foreigners something new!
Kang De turned around and threw out the beacon. He jumped continuously and rushed towards the tallest building in the base. It should be the administrative building. There were firepower points on the roof and around it, and they quickly reacted and fired. However, no matter how impressive the mind command link was, it could not break through the limit of humans. The person controlling the machine gun and rocket launcher was still human, and his physical fitness and mobility could not keep up with Kang De’s advance.
He flashed through the main door and rushed into the building. He used the Dispel Scroll and spread an invisible ripple to disperse the evil curse seal that controlled the mind. In an instant, the people in the building immediately shook and revealed confused expressions.
In the next moment, artillery fire, bullets, and rockets blasted toward this building without hesitation.
Amidst the violent explosions, the bricks and concrete continuously exploded. Flames surged and flames burned. Before the French people who had recovered their senses could shout, they died from the violent explosion and intense shock wave.
The large-caliber howitzer easily wreaked havoc in this solid and beautiful administrative building. Just one shot shook this building intensely. Ever since the invention of explosives, the argument between the spear and shield had already stopped.
However, it was hard to say.
Listening to the bang, the sound of glass shattering, the sound of the wall collapsing, the sound of the floor shattering, and the screams of people, Kang De’s expression was calm. He already knew the fate of the French in this building, but so what? The French government that should be responsible for this was the one who had single-handedly planned the Gambia Comoros War. It had schemed against the tiger and suffered a backlash. The soldiers, civilians, and innocent people who had died in this war were all paying for it.
—I’m sorry I can’t save you.
—However, I won’t blame myself for this.
—I don’t have this obligation. You don’t have the right.
The moment he rushed into the building, his mental strength spread out and threw it to the ground. He extracted and excavated it all the way down. There was a bomb shelter below. It was very normal. He came to the largest room and strengthened the wall with steel. He took the pillar from the white fog world and extracted the concrete ground, revealing the soil.
Then.
The only intact magic device seized from the battle with the Stone Heart Legion.
Kang De did not know its name, but he knew its function.
Then give it a name.
“From now on, your name is…” he said softly, “the Archimedes Hammer.”
His hand was stuck to the interaction device of the magic device. His mental strength entered directly. According to the memories of that alchemist, he erased the mark of the legion and implanted the will of war. He activated the magic chain and injected the power of the ground.
The pillar-like magic device unfolded on all fours and took root on the ground. The totem pillar in the center lit up with khaki rune engravings, and magic patterns continuously lit up.
Kang De extended his mental strength and extracted the surrounding land. Thick elements were injected into the interaction device. As the catalyst to activate his magic power, the violent power of the ground continuously gathered in the center.
The totem ram structure that was like an industrial pump slowly rose. The khaki light almost condensed into substance. The fulcrum below was firm and thick. The Archimedes Hammer had already been raised high.
Then, it suddenly landed.
Impact.
Boom.
The entire building had already completely collapsed. The artillery fire stopped. Under such an attack, no one could come out of that building alive, but the general plane that had already slid to the runway did not stop because of this. Instead, it continued to accelerate and begin to run on the long runway.
The right choice.
This was because, in the next moment, the ground shook.
With the ruins of the military base as the center, the dust and gravel on the ground suddenly floated up, as if gravity had lost its effect here. In the next moment, the ground rolled like waves.
It was as if a black hole had appeared in the center. The darkness that devoured everything made the ground collapse layer by layer. Violent power wreaked havoc in all directions. The ground cracked and collapsed, houses shook, the sentry tower collapsed, and a tsunami appeared on the land. However, the surging and violent tide was composed of soil, and the ground rose and fell like waves.
Vehicles, artillery, people, firepower points… Everything was meaningless. In the face of the anger of nature, precise weapons of humans could not be placed, let alone fired.
Perhaps the elf alchemists who developed the Archimedes Hammer did not expect that the power of this weapon that was used to carry out long-range earthquake attacks through the resonance of the earth elements would actually double if it was used for suicide.
This was because they were experienced in various magic arcana. No matter what, they would not put this magic device underground to use, nor would they directly set the attack coordinates in place.
In the end, when this magic device was set, it did not consider what would happen if a certain Fire Thief relied on snatching the memories of the elf alchemist and had the courage to forcefully activate the captured weapon and hit himself in the underground fortifications of another world.
Therefore, the world collapsed. The intense earthquake was tied to the medium-sized area of the military base. Terrifying energy repeatedly impacted and shook. The overseas military base of the Fifth Republic of France here was forcefully demolished. At the beginning of the magic device, Kang De brought Archimedes Hammer back to the white fog world.
Then, he teleported to the surface.
There was nothing to stop him now.
Amidst the violent vibration, swaying, cracking, and collapse, Kang De sped in the direction of the runway. As soon as the earthquake happened, this runway was completely crippled. However, as far as the eye could see, in the violently rising and falling earth tide, a Dassault Falcon general plane had already left the ground and was not involved in the earthquake.
Kang De shouted and threw out a flying rock. Teleportation flashed and he flew into the sky.
However, the plane’s take-off speed had already reached 300 kilometers per hour, about 100 meters per second. Kang De’s teleportation method was not teleportation in the end, but a subspace jump reached through the white fog world and the spatial anchor. The time to enter and leave the white fog world was ultimately consumed.
The next time he teleported, the plane had already rushed into the sky. The engine roared and shook the sky. Kang De could only release a dispersal spell that had been accumulating strength for a long time. The ripples of the scroll barely swept past the plane. He hoped that after the pilot broke free from his control, he could immediately take measures, but it was not Kang De’s style to place his hopes on others.
Moreover, from the looks of it, the plane was stable and soared into the sky without swaying, as if the dispersion spell had not taken effect.
Fortunately, there was still insurance.
Kang De closed his eyes. Space shattered. He returned to Earth through the white fog world. In the next moment, he was already high in the sky. The lights of the ground base were continuously extinguished, but the headlights of the Falcon plane were flickering. The outline of the plane was hidden in the vast night.
The Hima Eagle flapped its wings and flew with Kang De.
Previously, after being attacked by artillery fire, Kang De did not have the time to control the giant eagle to do any delicate work. He wanted to quickly and decisively take down Little Bob and take back the divine artifact. It was best to capture him alive. If he could not use the divine artifact, he had to force Little Bob to order the puppets to cease fire and surrender. Therefore, he chose the path of the land raid.
However, to be safe, he gave the giant eagle an order to circle and wait in the distance.
Now, there was no other way.
What? Rush to the plane, lift the cabin door, rush in to subdue Little Bob, and let the pilot land?
A few hundred kilometers per hour was a turbine engine. If he was not careful, he could be sucked in and minced.
The sailing speed of a serious jet plane was easily 700 to 800 kilometers per hour. Such speed was something the Hima Eagle could not compare to. Fortunately, it had judged the direction correctly earlier and the plane was flying over. The aircraft was both safe and fragile. It only needed a bird to collide with it and make it fall from the sky.
However, there was only one chance.
It seemed to be a loss to use this Alchemy Eagle to exchange for Little Bob.
“Aim, aim, aim…”
Kang De narrowed his eyes and controlled the giant eagle. Through his outstanding spatial sense talent and mental strength, he made a prediction. The plane was rising and coming this way. He could only see the dark outline and the headlights.
“Continue! Continue! D*mn! I also want to know what happened! But you’ve already seen it! Where else can we go? Let’s leave this godforsaken place first! Wherever you want! France! My father’s place! Anywhere is good! D*mn! D*mn! D*mn! What’s going on?!”
In the driver’s seat, Little Bob, who had recovered his senses, reached a consensus with his subordinates and drivers. They all had some strange memories. That whisper did not seem to have dissipated. All of this was so terrifying that the mercenaries temporarily put down their thoughts of pursuing the matter. They had to leave this godforsaken place first.
Little Bob was still in shock and said repeatedly, “He won’t chase after us, right? D*mn, this…”
“B… Boss… what’s that?!”
Suddenly, the front passenger exclaimed.
Little Bob Burr subconsciously looked ahead.
Then, he revealed an incredulous expression.
They had already flown high into the sky and into the clouds. Moonlight fell, bright and clear, and starlight shone. There was some light in the night sky. For some reason, after Little Bob woke up, he discovered that his night vision was much better and he could see the surrounding night clearly. At this moment, high in the sky and in the plane, he looked ahead through the cockpit and seemed to see something that should never have appeared there.
“Then…”
He seemed to be talking in his sleep. “Howitzer?”
…
