Scales of Eternal Order

The Leviathan airship stabilized a few hundred feet above the clouds. The sky is cold and bright blue, and the clouds in the middle of the night are no longer as remote as the day, nor as sticky and cold as the evening, but like a white wool carpet, spreading towards all directions. The tips of the mountains are like isolated islands in the sea of ​​clouds.

“Look at the preview device in front of you,” Shay, the survivor of the Qijian clan, presided over the airdrop of supplies. Because this is a work that requires mathematics and manipulation skills, an engineering expert must lead it. , Those dragon family kobold aviation pilots can successfully complete it.

Forty kobolds are arranged in two rows on both sides of the bottom cabin. In front of them are hanging large crates wrapped by the tentacles grown from Leviathan within the body. There is a crock-like thing on each box and a fuze outside.

The so-called “preview device” is actually a special organ differentiated from Leviathan, which looks like a full-cover diving goggles attached to a rope. The kobold aviation crew can wear it on the face, and the exterior of the airship can clearly appear in front of him.

“When the beacon is launched, a bullseye and a white dot will appear on your preview.” Shay described the operation process in concise words, “The white dot represents the Airdrop, and what you have to do is to hold them in front of you and adjust slightly to ensure that the white dots in the preview can be circled into the bullseye, and then ignite the fuze.”

“Understand? Shay asked again. He got a loud and neat affirmative reply, he nodded. “The Leviathan airship has hovered, the beacon has been launched, and is ready for airdrop!”

According to his previous instructions, all the dragon family kobolds have completed the calibration and ignition instructions. The tentacles wrapped in the crate quickly let go, and at the same time, the Leviathan on the deck of the bottom cabin shrank and opened many holes. The crates full of canned insect meat leaked out of those holes almost simultaneously and landed on the ground.

In midair, as the fuze “chi chi” burned, it finally fell into the earthen jar fastened to the crate. Forty times a slight explosion sounded in a line, the sealed sludge collapsed, and forty small air elements floated out of the crock (Note 1).

Being stuffed in the jar for a long time, these Qi elements are a little annoyed, they drive the strength to rise, wanting to escape from the mouth of the jar. However, although those crock pots are all low-level spell items, restraining them is not a problem.

In this way, with the help of those small air elements without much intelligence, through their constant struggle, even the crates tied under the earthen jar can obtain a strong lift, and the original free fall also slows down first. , And then fall at a constant speed.

As it gets closer and closer to the ground and farther and farther away from the upper air, the strength of the air element becomes lower and lower. In the end, all the small air elements exhaust their strength and are re-emerged. Captured by the bondage array inside.

“Choose the mouths of the bottles with clay,” Standing in the jungle, Ques said to some of the surrounding Jadewood City defenders sent by Green. They all witnessed the slatted box dropping from the sky, carrying a piece or two of soft mud that had just been dug out from the river beach.

When they heard Ques’s orders, they immediately followed their instructions. The courageous one was a little bit bolder, and secretly checked what was in the jars. However, these ordinary persons can only see the figure of the element of Qi, and can only hear the sound of “weng weng”.

These crock pots are not disposable items. After the guards put mud on the cans, they were all received on a mule cart by the desert elf Blatche, stacked neatly and then pulled away. The remaining guards began to be busy handling the crates again.

A Leviathan airship dropped forty crates directly. These crates are unusual, each of them is as big as a private house, filled with canned insects. The gap between the can and the can is stuffed with straw.

The soldiers in Cuimu City worked hard, and finally even used an axe to break the nails on the crate, and then again and again to transport the cans inside. On the mule car that was parked over.

Soldiers who can form two phalanx formations took nearly an hourglass to complete the loading and unloading work. Originally, they had prepared sixty mule carts, but in the end they found that they were not enough, so they had to send people to the heavy camp and brought in another 20 mule carts.

Ques provided more than 30 tons of canned insect meat to Jadewood City at one time in the name of Everlasting Scales Chamber of Commerce. Of course, he kept secrets of the raw materials used to make canned food. He didn’t mention acid mist worms, but only said that they were white meat marinated with some kind of marine fish.

Looking at the soldiers using swords and daggers to break open the cans, pour them into wooden barrels and other containers, and then distribute food to the urban residents of stomach rumbling with hunger, Green is finally sighed in relief .

“At least this meal is enough to eat, these people may still follow the evacuation instructions,” Mayor Cuimu thought for a moment, but still asked: “Mr. Ques, how is the city now? There is no movement, is it possible…”

As if to deliberately wipe out the fluke in his heart, the earth suddenly began to tremble, and the gravel and gravel danced on the ground. In the distance, the mountain where Cuimu City was located suddenly made a thunderous sound.

Immediately afterwards, everyone at the foot of the mountain saw an unforgettable scene in his life: together with the city of Cuimu, the entire mountain rose instantly from the original mountain peak and turned into a pile of A huge creature made up of rocks and plants.

“Ou~Mo~Rui~! Sa~Gu~” (Note 2)

His face like a sword and axe trembled slowly, sounding like a valley echo The announcement. Standing beside Green, who was already dumbfounded, Ques listened carefully to the words of the Tu people spoken by the landlord god. “Scepter, where?” At the same time, he also explained to Green what the god of the community had said, but the other party simply noticed what he translated.

The landlord stomped his feet, and the land around a dozen or more li trembled more violently. He stretched his sturdy arms behind his back to grab a white tower—the original It was a watchtower of the “Milk House” of the Lin Family family mansion-then it was uprooted. The watchtower made of white marble is instantly covered with metallic luster.

“Pull~Ken~! Sai~Ke~”

Pasting his newly-made scepter on the ground, like holding a cane, the landlord looked far away At first glance, the urbanites who were hiding on the empty field at the foot of the mountain, all now becoming trembling with fear, shouted, and then he turned around and left.

“The island is sinking…” Silently interpreted the Tu language, Ques turned his head and looked towards the dwarf hardtop dozens of miles away, presumably those guys should have seen the scene of the recovery of the landlord god. And if he understands his words, his face must have been ashen.
