Chapter 271:
The Pool of Davor, a scene that people in Sintra are passionate about. Lann aimed at the embankment of the artificial lake and slowly opened his left palm.
Tomor Fuchs stood ten steps away from Lann, grabbing his beard and staring with wide eyes, full of expectation and curiosity.
...
Lann initially questioned the plan to blow up the levee.
"If this dam explodes, won't the surging waves directly submerge Davor?" Lan asked seriously, "Tomor, you don't want to take the opportunity to destroy the Zigrin clan, do you? "
After being questioned by Lan, Tomor showed no anger. Instead, he showed a pensive expression: "Is this still possible? If something unexpected happens during this process, maybe we can actually achieve such a result... As expected of the Lion of Sintra, his brain is very useful..."
Lann's eyebrows suddenly raised.
But Tomor immediately pulled himself out of his daydream, laughed and comforted Lan: "Don't worry, if these things really happen, you Sintra people can walk away, Fuchs But we can't run away. Any clan in Mahakam will only use hammer and shield to talk to us in the future."
Stepping forward with his short legs, Tomor proudly patted the dam and said loudly: "When we were designing When we built this dam, we took into consideration that unexpected situations might occur to the dam later. When building it, we adopted a unique design to prevent a gap from turning into a large hole and ultimately damaging the entire dam."
"In terms of your northern human disciplines, you use some unique 'architectural mechanics' designs... I forgot that you are from Sintra. I don't know if you can understand it. It would be fine if you were from Cowburg. "
What happened to the people of Sintra? " Um?
Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was actually despised by a dwarf for his knowledge. It was incredible: "Although I don't understand the architectural design of your dwarves, do you think it's too much for me to not even understand the name of the subject?"
Tommo I quickly apologized for my quick words with an embarrassed smile.
The dwarves do possess many construction technologies that are very different from humans and are even more advanced. This can be seen from the capital "Carbon Mountain" built by hollowing out an entire mountain. This is especially true for the dam of the Pond of Davor. The dwarves considered the possibility of damage when building it, and even had complete plans for subsequent reconstruction.
"It's just that we never thought that we would destroy it ourselves." Tomor sighed.
Lan nodded and asked the second question: "Now that you have a complete plan, what do we need to do in this process?" After all, Tomor has to entrust half of the young adults
to Cintra, but from now on Judging from Tomor's current plan, it doesn't seem to require much effort from Lan and the others, which gives people an unreal feeling.
Sure enough, Tomor immediately said: "We plan to use mining explosives to blow up the dam, but the underground warehouse where we store the explosives has been occupied by the Sharmas." "The boys of our tribe need to beware of
others these days. The monster interference plan needs to be excavated to divert the water and drains to prevent the river from getting out of control. We can't spare any manpower for a while. If possible, I hope you can help us get those explosives back." It's a very reasonable reason
.
But Lann patted the dam and offered a different opinion.
"Perhaps there is no need for explosives at all to blow up this dam." Lann said thoughtfully, "Just put all your manpower into the excavation work to ensure that the river water poured in can achieve our goal. Leave the rest to me .”
…
So, two days later.
Thousands of dwarves who are good at digging tunnels are very professional at working on the surface. After working day and night, there is now a drainage ditch between the Pool of Davor and the Bottomless Cave of Wall that is wide and deep enough to serve as a moat.
Several temporarily blocked drainage branches were diverted from the main road to facilitate control of the direction and power of the river, and to facilitate subsequent refilling of the dam.
Lan opened his left hand and placed it on the dam, holding his breath and concentrating, and began to mobilize the magic power in his body.
In Lann's revised plan for the Fuchs clan, he was dynamite.
Tomor stood aside and looked at Lan with an expectant but slightly suspicious look: "I know that the great sages among the elves have the power to move wind and rain, and even move mountains and create lakes, but Duke Lannister You...are not twenty years old this year?"
The implication is that even a warlock apprentice at this age has just finished learning theoretical knowledge and begun to communicate with the chaotic energy of nature.
"My boys have already dug the trench. If that doesn't work, it's still too late to organize manpower to attack the explosives warehouse."
Lann said nothing. The next second, he answered with the seal he pinched in his palm.
[Seal of Igni·Pyromaniac]
Lann will never forget the first time he met Jaylon. At that time, the master of the Griffin School, who had been sleeping for hundreds of years, had just escaped from trouble. He was still unconscious, but he forcibly used the power to strengthen himself after a second mutation. The [Igni Seal] and [Alder Seal] melted the underground laboratory into a passage directly to the surface. Until now, Lann felt that the strength of his seal was far inferior to that of Jeron.
However, although Lan's current [Igni Seal] has not reached the point where Jeron can burn stones into magma, he can already do similar things by relying on the system's ability.
Lann's methods may be more immature and cumbersome, but he can now vaguely see Jielong's back along the way to the seal.
As the chaotic energy in Lan's body was stimulated, the solid stream of flames slowly and continuously sprayed out from his palm, scorching the rock surface of the embankment.
After heating the stone, you should pour cold water next, right? When Tomor saw this, he no longer looked forward to it, and just said helplessly: "Duke Lannister plans to use the 'cooling method' to break the dam? We also used this method when mining underground, if we want to use It may take a few days to break through the dam, or we need to organize manpower to go..."
Tomor's words suddenly stopped.
I saw that he slowly lost control of his facial expressions, his jaw fell involuntarily as if it was dislocated, and his eyes suddenly seemed to pop out. Because before his eyes, the tall embankment suddenly burned like firewood!
That was the dam that the Fuchs clan and the Ziegelin clan once built together. They chose the finest granite, quartzite and other volcanic rocks or metamorphic rocks in the mountains. But now they are like the most flammable pine wood. It turned into a huge torch!
"This...this..." Tomor searched his brain over and over again, but couldn't find the right words to express his current mood.
Lann ignored Tomor, who was still refreshed at his age. At this moment, he took two steps back to observe the fire, ensuring that the damage caused by the flames to the dam could be controlled within a reasonable range.
When the rock had turned red, started to shine, and even started to strangely transform into the color and texture of charcoal, Lann changed the gesture of the seal, and the chaotic energy in his body tilted out again with an opposite elemental structure.
[Seal of Alder·Bearing]
The Davor region, where spring has just begun, seems like winter is coming again. The cold wind is blowing in. The moment it comes into contact with the burning rocks, it makes a "crack" sound like a barbecue, and then the disturbing "crack" sound starts to appear. Click, click, click."
The maintenance of [Bearing] is much more difficult than [Pyromania], because this time it is to freeze the burning rock. When the Tomor clan leaders couldn't help but tighten their clothes because of the cold, a thin layer of ice had formed on the base of the dam that had been ignited before.
It can be seen through the ice that the rocks below are covered with dense spider web-like cracks. If it were not maintained by the ice layer, these fragmented stones would probably break and collapse on the spot.
"The people who informed you should start paying attention, Tomor." Lan said calmly, "The flood is coming."
Tomor suddenly woke up from the shock and hurriedly sent a signal to the Fuchs clan. Looking back, his vision was once again occupied by firelight.
But this time, it was not just the non-combustible stones that were on fire, but also the ice created by [Bearing]. The new round of [Igni] did not melt the ice first and then ignite the rocks behind it, but directly burned the ice together.
Patriarch Tomor Fuchs's expression was numb. He just stood by the familiar dam of the Davor Pond, his beard tied with an iron ring constantly being blown by the unfamiliar wind. Sometimes the wind was as hot as a stove fire, and sometimes it was as cold as winter.
He didn't have to wait long. Before he could fully digest Lann's strange ability, the dam beneath his feet began to shake uncomfortably like an earthquake.
Lan En's pupils shrank, and he could faintly see that a trickle of water had begun to flow from behind the latest wave of ignited stones.
With a sway of his body, Lann's body disappeared in the bright emerald light. In a flash of golden light, he appeared next to the leader of Tomor who had sensed something was wrong early and ran away.
The next second Lann left, the flood turned into a vortex and swallowed up the position he had just been in.
"Boom -"
The raging waves, which were far more powerful than the explosion, drowned everything in front of him. Even though he had seen huge waves in the sea of Skellige, Lan still felt uneasy about the scene before him. This is not a disaster that humans have enough strength to fight against. This is a revenge launched by life against the monsters under the guise of nature.
A huge amount of rocks and sand were swept up and became part of this attack. The black pine trees swept by the roadside were uprooted directly together with the rooted foundation. Fortunately, the dwarves of the Fuchs clan had already planned the diversion of the river, otherwise the flood would be enough to turn the capital of a large kingdom into a vast ocean.
Looking at the rushing torrent, Lan raised his head and drank a bottle of [Rufous Owl] to replenish his missing magic power. Repeatedly switching to use the seal in this way is much more expensive than continuously using the [Magic Burst] seal.
"It's amazing, Lan." Tomor murmured to himself, "It's amazing." He
closed his eyes and felt the physical condition, then glanced at the mana value slowly climbing in the system status bar, Lan nodded. head.
"I'm going to check on the situation on the front line. You should also pay more attention to the situation of the dwarf sentries along the way."
After saying these words, Lann's body once again lit up with emerald light, turning into dots of fluorescent light and disappearing.
Tomor turned his head blankly, looked at the direction in which Lan disappeared, and said to himself: "This is also amazing."
...
Davor's bottomless pit.
The huge waves arriving from the Yaruga River roared and swallowed up everything, covering up the roars and screams of the monsters.
However, due to the interlaced terrain, there are still monsters that can escape in the early stage by taking advantage of the opportunity. Monsters living underground are particularly sensitive to vibrations on the ground, such as Sharma, rock trolls, and the Qiqimo community.
It is naturally impossible for them to escape from the exit despite the flood. The dwarves have built more than one escape exit for an underground vein as large as the bottomless pit of Davor, and these monsters who are good at digging have also opened up more than one survival channel for themselves.
However, the dwarves of the Fuchs clan are well aware of the existence of these passages. They have sent more than one team to guard each exit, trying to eliminate the monsters in them to the greatest extent possible.
At this moment, these guarding dwarves looked at each other a few times. They were prepared for possible monsters, but their eyes couldn't help but deflect to a few extra tall figures in front of the team.
Cintra Cavalry, Lord Lannister's bodyguard.
Although they do not have the title of knight, their equipment is far more advanced than what ordinary knight families can support. Not only do they have a full set of improved plate armor, half-hand swords, but they are also equipped with a wide variety of crossbows, daggers, and even alchemy equipment. Off-hand weapons such as bombs are suitable for multi-terrain combat.
For their arrival, the simple-minded Fuchs soldiers were grateful, but...
"Is it unnecessary? There are so many of us, and it won't make any difference if they only come with a few people. It's impossible for them to also have the lions." Fighting ability, right?"
"And why do they always push to the front of the team? Why do they feel that they hate those monsters more than us..."
There was a muttering voice from the dwarf phalanx, He was quickly silenced by the team leader. The people of Cintra turned a deaf ear to these comments that could still be clearly discerned even if they were deliberately suppressed.
The Duke has set a task for them, so they have to carry it out, it's that simple.
"Be careful, there is movement!"
the Cintra cavalry at the front of the team suddenly shouted. He actually discovered the movement near the monster before the dwarves who lived underground all year round.
The dwarf leader took a moment to react, and shouted loudly for his companions to raise their weapons.
However, the gloomy roar in the tunnel had just begun, a black shadow had just emerged from the corner, and the dwarf warriors had just assumed a fighting stance.
The Cintra cavalry who had been crowded at the front of the team suddenly shone like an emerald sun. His companions immediately lost their posture of preparing to attack and involuntarily took two steps back, looking with envy and longing. Look at this chosen comrade.
The blond knight appeared in the light that made the dwarves feel dazzling, and opened his left palm directly towards the first monster that appeared.
[Alder's Seal·Bearing·Magic Explosion]!
