"The army of God is coming?" Wuji finally understood that it was the eve of Atlan City's destruction. At the same time, it was not difficult to guess that their mission was most likely to help defend against the army's attack.
"Yes, according to the information transmitted by our Scout Skyhawk, the army of the Vatican, led by the Chief Adjudicator Guli, is almost at the foot of the Laurenx Mountains," Reynolds replied.
"Scout Skyhawk? What's that?" Moonless Thunder asked curiously.
Reynolds pointed to the large birds circling in the sky. "That's the Scout Skyhawk. They're equipped with equipment enhanced with the Eagle's Eye Spell, which can transmit what they see to our eyes."
"F * ck, a scout plane!" Everyone was astonished when they heard this. As expected of the Main City that had reached the pinnacle of magic and technology in ancient times. It was clearly a Western fantasy game, but the Atlantis had come up with something like a reconnaissance plane. This was too ridiculous.
At this moment, Wuji was frowning inwardly.
Atlan City was surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Logically speaking, the army of the Vatican should have come from the sea, but Reynolds said that the army of the Vatican was on the other side of the Laurenx Mountains. This was not right. Could it be that the Vatican's technology had also developed to the pinnacle?
"Does the army of the Vatican have flying machines too?" Wuji asked.
"The army of God is repelled by technology," Reynolds said.
Wuji laughed. "What's there to be afraid of? They won't be coming over the Laurenx Mountains anytime soon."
"Keep your ignorance to yourself. That's the army of God …"
"Not good, there's something over there!" Reynolds had not finished speaking when Wang Yu suddenly pointed in the direction of the Laurenx Mountains and shouted.
Everyone hurriedly looked up. They saw a blade of light shooting into the sky, followed by a loud rumble of mountains cracking. Then, a huge cloud of smoke shrouded the Laurenx Mountains.
When the smoke dissipated, the eyes of all the players on the Elemental Tower popped out of their sockets.
There was now a gap in the originally endless mountain range. On the other side of the gap, a knight was floating in mid-air, his entire body emitting white light. Under his feet was an army in white armor, covering the ground in a snow-white color.
Reynolds narrowed his eyes as he looked at the knight floating in the air. He said with slight surprise, "Splitting Mount Laurenx with a single strike. Looks like this Guli is as difficult to deal with as the rumors say."
"What? Split open? I thought it was blasted open by a magic crystal cannon! "
Hearing Reynolds's words, everyone took a closer look. Sure enough, the gap was very neat, as if it had been cut by a knife. It didn't look like it had been blasted open. Everyone's expression immediately turned ugly.
Although everyone had their doubts about the so-called Cleaving Mountain Range in One Strike, the truth was right in front of them. They had no choice but to believe it. This kind of NPC should be a top-tier NPC, right? At the very least, he was no weaker than Reynold, who could mobilize the power of heaven and earth. Was this really a Level 60 dungeon and not a Level 200 dungeon?
"There's no magic crystal cannon that can blast open a mountain range in one shot. Moreover, the Templars are the staunchest believers of the Vatican. They wouldn't use this kind of thing," Reynolds said.
Hearing this, Wang Yu's pupils shrank slightly. He cried out involuntarily, "Templars?"
Wang Yu had been to Light Saint City before. He had even caused a ruckus there, so he had a particularly deep impression of these tin cans.
These guys practiced both magic and martial arts. They could attack, resist, heal, and deal damage. They were basically all-rounded NPCs, even more so than ordinary mini-BOSSes.
Back in Light Saint City, only a small team of low-level Templars had been able to beat the Eternal Silent Dawn guild to a pulp. Now, there were more than a thousand Templars on the other side of the gap. It was clear that this dungeon was not something that current players could attempt. No wonder it was an S-rank mission. It was indeed impossible to complete.
At this moment, High Judge Guli, who was in mid-air, began to shout, "People of Atlan City, listen up. Although you've gone against the will of God, in consideration of God's mercy, as long as you stop your pointless research and destroy the so-called God of Science and Technology, we can …"
"Hey, what's that grandson saying?" Mingdu asked impatiently.
"It seems like he's trying to persuade us to surrender …" Wang Yu said.
"Oh, I think it's good to surrender. What about you guys?" Mingdu asked the crowd.
Damn, he still has the strength to talk nonsense after splitting open a mountain range. It was clear that he hadn't even used his full strength. Just these 200 small fries added together wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from him.
"?" Reynolds looked at Mingdu with an unfriendly expression.
Wuji hurriedly pressed down on Mingdu's mouth and pushed him to the back. "Can you f * cking stop talking?"
"Alright, don't just stand there. Hurry up and get on the flying transport. I'll bring you guys down," Reynolds urged.
"Stop fooling around. How many people can this crappy thing of yours fit?" Mingdu said disdainfully.
Reynolds' flying transport was the size of an ordinary car. There were more than 200 people on the platform. If so many people squeezed into such a small flying transport, wouldn't they be squeezed to death? He might as well jump down now to his heart's content.
Reynolds smiled faintly. "Just go ahead. There's plenty of space."
"Eh …"
"Old Li, stop talking nonsense!" Mingdu still wanted to say something, but Wang Yu grabbed the back of his neck and threw him in. Then, Quanzhen and the rest followed closely behind and boarded the flying transport.
It had to be said that the flying transport was only the size of a car on the outside, but it was a completely different world on the inside. There was still space for more than 200 people to sit inside.
After everyone had boarded, the old driver, Reynolds, steered the flying transport into the air.
Wuji asked in puzzlement, "Teacher Reynolds, as far as I know, spatial magic can only place objects that don't have any life force."
"I like people who ask questions." Reynolds looked at Wuji appreciatively and said, "This isn't just magic, there's also technology."
"Technology?" Wuji was stunned by Reynolds once again.
"That's right. Space, time, matter, and spirit are the main components of the world. They are embodied in many aspects. Magic can only play a role. Only technology can explore the essence of creation. It's because we're studying these things that we're abandoned by the gods." Reynolds said, "I really don't understand why the gods can't face the development of technology."
Wuji smiled bitterly. "Because when you've thoroughly studied the Origin of the world, you'll become gods. In the eyes of the gods, perhaps the world doesn't need more gods."
"Yes, I think you're right. I'm very happy to be able to talk to you!" Reynolds nodded thoughtfully.
"I'm also very honored to meet a scholar like you." Wuji put away his cynical attitude and said respectfully.
Although Reynolds was only an NPC, the Atlan tribe's attitude toward technology exploration was very respectable.
"Alright, we've arrived. After you get off the car, go to the plaza and look for the Great Elder. He'll assign you a mission. I'm going to meet that Great Adjudicator now. If I come back alive, I hope to have a drink or two with you," Reynolds said to Wuji.
