That night, the night was unusually dark. Only a few scattered stars hung in the night sky, shining faintly!
A team of thousands of people was quietly making their way up the snowy mountain under the cover of the night.
The leader of the team was Xu Que, who had successfully earned the title of military counselor. Waving his feather fan, he and Situ Haitang led the team to the top of the Snow Mountain, preparing for a night attack.
At the back of the team, the main force was also carrying a large number of supplies, including large sky lanterns and paragliders. At the same time, every soldier was given a popsicle, which they kept carefully in their pockets.
Everyone knew the magical effects of the popsicles and regarded them as treasures. They were also full of confidence for this battle.
However, they were also full of doubts.
Could they really cross the canyon and reach the Holy Ground with only those big lanterns and kites? Moreover, thousands of soldiers were traveling together.
Everyone was still a little uncertain. However, since they had already climbed up the mountain, they had no choice but to obey.
The team climbed up the Snow Mountain step by step. The True Core Strength in their bodies had already been completely sealed when they were halfway up the mountain.
Xu Que was no exception. When his True Core Strength was sealed, he even called out the System and asked if it could be broken.
However, the System replied, "The level of this restriction is beyond the range of the System. It is recommended that the host upgrade the System!"
Xu Que ignored the System's reply.
This profiteering System was obviously trying to cheat him of his Acting Tough Points. Now that he was already at level 3, if he upgraded the System again, he would have to spend at least 10,000 Acting Tough Points!
Furthermore, the current situation did not require the use of True Origin Energy.
So what if he couldn't use True Core Strength? Anyway, nobody could use it! As the Act Tough King, all he needed to do was to spend a few dozen Acting Tough Points to exchange for a bunch of high-end martial arts skills.
"Hero Zhuge, the canyon is just in front of us!" Situ Haitang slowed down and whispered to Xu Que.
"Okay, let the team stop, I'll go take a look!" Xu Que nodded and walked a few steps forward, stopping at the edge of the cliff.
There was indeed a huge canyon in front of them. It was at least four to five hundred meters away from the snowy peak on the other side. Furthermore, the canyon was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom. When they looked down, they could only see darkness. It was so dark that they couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. It was as if the endless universe was buried below.
However, on the snowy peak opposite the canyon, they could vaguely see some light and figures. They should be the Icemen who were stationed in the Holy Land of the Snowy Mountains.
"System, calculate the distance between the two sides of the canyon, check the wind speed, and then calculate how high we need to fly to glide across the canyon!"
Xu Que commanded the system to calculate.
Their current position was almost level with the opposite snowy peak, so they had to know the specific distance. After flying to a certain height, they would land with the help of a paraglider and reach the opposite snowy peak.
Ding! "Calculation complete. According to the current wind speed and other comprehensive conditions, we need to rise to a height between 200 to 230 meters …"
Soon, the system came up with the most reliable answer. Since the weight of the soldiers was about the same, according to the wind speed, they had to rise to a height of about 200 meters in order to safely cross the canyon and land behind the enemy's city wall!
Xu Que's lips curled into a smile.
People always said that after learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, with the system in hand, there was nothing to be afraid of!
"Haitang, pass down the order. Ask everyone to carry the paraglider and lie on the Kongming lanterns and don't move! I will light all the Kongming lanterns and fly with you! "Xu Que turned his head and said to Situ Haitang.
"This … this can really fly?" Situ Haitang was very confused. She couldn't understand how this lantern could fly without True Core Strength.
"Trust me, this is science, this is wisdom! Just go! "Xu Que said with a smile, patting Situ Haitang's head.
Situ Haitang blushed. As a general, it was a great humiliation for her to be patted on the head like a child.
However, she couldn't get angry. Instead, she was in a panic.
Fortunately, it was too dark to see this scene. Otherwise, she didn't know how to face her subordinates in the future.
"Hero Zhuge … No, Counselor Zhuge, if you touch me without my permission again, I will punish you according to the military law!"
Situ Haitang said seriously. Then she turned around and left to pass the message to the team.
Xu Que curled his lips and shook his head slightly. Tough women are not easy to flirt with!
…
After a while, Situ Haitang came back with a paraglider on her back. She climbed onto the Kongming Lantern nimbly and lay down.
Then she turned to Xu Que and said in a low voice, "Everything is ready!"
"Good, everything is ready! All we need is one last thing!"
With a smile, Xu Que carried the paraglider on his back and lay down on the Kongming Lantern.
The frame of the Kongming Lantern was made of special wood, which was light and strong enough to bear the weight of several people. Therefore, no matter how heavy a person was, he didn't need to worry about the weight of the lantern.
"System, check whether all the wicks of the Kongming Lantern are equipped with igniters!"
At this time, Xu Que called the System again.
Before they set off, he had bought a bunch of igniters and asked people to install them on the wicks of all the Kongming Lanterns.
Once he pressed the switch, all the wicks would be ignited and the Kongming Lanterns would be lit.
Ding! "Check complete. All the Kongming Lanterns have been equipped with igniters. Everything is normal!"
"Heh, heh, let's go! Let's give them a big surprise! "
Xu Que's face was full of excitement and excitement. He took out a switch and pressed it.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Suddenly, a series of sounds of flames came from behind. One by one, the Kongming Lanterns were lit up. The whole dark snowfield was illuminated instantly.
All the soldiers held their breath and waited quietly. They wanted to know how the lanterns could fly.
Situ Haitang was also very serious. There was even a trace of nervousness in her eyes. She kept staring at the lantern under her.
Soon, in the cold snowfield, people gradually felt the warmth from the lantern under them. It was very comfortable.
The next moment, their bodies suddenly felt like they were rising.
Everyone was stunned. Seeing the Kongming Lantern under them slowly leaving the ground and rising into the sky, they opened their eyes wide in shock.
Are they really flying?
Hero Zhuge didn't lie to us!
This lantern could actually carry people into the sky!
This is so amazing!
All of a sudden, all the soldiers who were lying on the Kongming Lanterns were full of excitement.
However, all of them kept their mouths shut. No one dared to make any noise. Xu Que had ordered that no one was allowed to make any noise before they landed on the ground. Even if they farted, they would be hung on the city wall and their penises would be popped.
No one dared to try this kind of punishment that made them feel a chill in their crotch!
Therefore, on this unusually quiet night, a strange scene appeared on the snowfield.
Thousands of big lanterns were flying slowly into the sky. They were as bright as the stars in the night sky, illuminating the land.
…
On the opposite side of the valley, a soldier who was patrolling on the city wall suddenly saw the strange scene. He shouted in surprise, "Look, there is movement on the opposite mountain!"
"What?"
"What's going on? Why are there so many lanterns? "
"That's not right. How can the lanterns fly?"
Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall became restless. They looked into the distance in surprise.
However, in the darkness of the night, they could only see the shining lanterns. They could not see the figures on the lanterns.
This was the so-called darkest place under the light.
"Could it be a signal from one of our own people? According to the time, General Li should have conquered the Snow City by now, "one of the soldiers guessed.
Someone shook his head immediately, "That's impossible. Our signal is not like that."
"That's weird. No one on the snowfield can use their True Core Strength. How can these lanterns fly?"
"I know. They must have come from the Snow City. Maybe the people in the Snow City have lost all hope. So, they are using their True Core Strength to release these lanterns to pray for blessings."
"Haha, what's the point of praying now? We gave them a chance to surrender. Unfortunately, they did not cherish it. "
"Alright, forget about those lanterns. They can't come here anyway. Let's go and drink."
"Nonsense. The Ice Queen is here. Go and drink if you dare!"
"What? When did the Ice Queen come? "
