Leaving the plague-ridden land, Chu Tian headed directly north, traveling in a straight line.
"Brother, where are we going? To that high-level fortress on the western border?" Luo Luo asked Chu Tian, her voice buffeted by the strong winds.
"Yep, we'll take that one down first!"
While flying at high speed, Chu Tian contacted Gao Kai. Gao Kai and the others were still some distance away. Hearing this, Chu Tian no longer felt rushed and began to glide leisurely.
"Can the two of us, plus Brother Kai and them, take down a high-level fortress?" Luo Luo hadn't felt this worried when she had the forbidden spell skill. Although she didn't know the exact damage of her forbidden spell skill, Chu Tian had said they would try. If they succeeded, they would succeed, and if not, there would be no loss in retreating. However, this time Chu Tian had mobilized so many people, and they were even divided into three groups. If they failed to take the fortress, the transportation costs alone would be a considerable sum.
"Of course, your brother is a man with a great treasure!" Chu Tian said with a lewd chuckle. Luo Luo didn't react at first. After hearing Chu Tian's laugh, she finally understood. Chu Tian still had the mood to tease her, which proved he had this operation under control. Although Chu Tian was gliding, his speed was still very fast. From the southwest to the north, there were quite a few fortresses. Chu Tian and Luo Luo saw many guild players in the sky attacking fortresses as well. The area around Shengjing City was relatively normal. Some level 6 guilds were also preparing to capture fortresses and strongholds themselves. It was unlike Sijicheng and Heitu City. In those places, besides slaughter, there were some guilds desperately resisting Huang Xueyi's recruitment and attempting to attack beginner fortresses. The Qingcheng Guild in Heitu City was currently an anomaly. The guild was composed entirely of rogues. They were at a loss. However, their Guild Leader, a person with a mature woman's face and figure, was very calm. Facing the urging of her guild members, she lazily replied, "What's the rush? Just wait!" Only Qingcheng knew what they were waiting for. She had a personal relationship with Chu Tian, which was not publicly known. If it were in the past, she might have been anxious, but after interacting with Chu Tian for so long, she trusted him quite a bit. Now, she was waiting for news from Chu Tian. Yes, the last time she met Chu Tian and Ma Deju, Chu Tian had privately messaged her about a plan. Only four people knew about this plan. Chu Tian, Ma Deju, Qingcheng... and a fourth mysterious person. Qingcheng didn't know who this fourth mysterious person was. Anyway, out of trust for Chu Tian, when Chu Tian asked her to gather all members and await his summons, she did as he said. However, to say she wasn't nervous would be a lie. But her nervousness was useless. Although the guild had reached level 6 and had the authority to attack fortresses, her entire guild was composed of rogues, making them unsuitable for head-on battles. Therefore, she could only place her hopes on Chu Tian.
...
On the border of the Shengjing City west war zone, near the war zone boundary, another high-level fortress stood tall. If one didn't look closely, a tiny black dot directly above the fortress would not attract anyone's attention. Chu Tian had been here for a few minutes and had just received a message from Gao Kai. They would also arrive soon. Chu Tian slowly descended, stopping at the edge of the fortress's air defense range.
"Brother, how are we doing this time?" Luo Luo was extremely curious about what Chu Tian was planning again. Chu Tian's every move was full of tricks, making her feel novel. After Luo Luo asked, Chu Tian chuckled and sent her a trade invitation. In the trading interface, Chu Tian placed rows of neatly arranged gunpowder bombs.
"So many... Brother, you're going to!" Luo Luo's eyes widened in shock.
"Hehe, you guessed right!" Chu Tian stopped trading after filling Luo Luo's backpack. Luo Luo passively accepted. She finally understood what Chu Tian had gone to the plague-ridden land for. Luo Luo looked at her backpack, which was filled to the brim with high-explosive gunpowder bombs. Each slot contained a box, and each box contained 20 bombs. Her backpack had over 100 slots. She rarely used them, so they were almost all empty. However, Chu Tian's backpack was infinite.
"Let's start... hehe!" Chu Tian was very excited! He wanted to be a soaring fighter jet, air-dropping... onto the fortress below.
"Wait... Brother, at this altitude, the fuse time probably won't be enough! The bombs will explode before they land!" Luo Luo voiced a detail Chu Tian hadn't considered.
"Uh..." Chu Tian, who was excited moments ago, suddenly froze. That's right! The high-explosive bombs he got from Master Roger all had fuse mechanisms, not timed detonation. If they were thrown from this height, they would explode before landing, which would be no different from setting off fireworks. Luo Luo's words were like a basin of cold water, dousing the flames of Chu Tian's excitement. Damn it... Chu Tian suddenly felt a bit lost. Should he go back and re-attach the fuses? Or find an engineer to change them to delayed detonation? Chu Tian thought about the massive quantity. Modifying them would likely take a long time. What to do?
"Brother... how about you let me take on the task of being the ammunition depot here!" Luo Luo suddenly offered. She was volunteering for the mission.
"You?" Chu Tian asked in return!
"Mhm! Nai'er, come out!"
Woosh... A massive figure appeared beside Chu Tian, flapping its wings vigorously. Accompanied by the howling wind. Chu Tian turned his head and saw that this was no longer the chubby little dragon. It had now transformed into a flying dragon even larger than his giant eagle's body. Luo Luo leaped from his body and onto Nai'er.
"Brother... watch me!" Luo Luo said with a sweet smile.
"Mhm, go ahead?" Chu Tian didn't ask Luo Luo what method she had! Because he believed Luo Luo wouldn't act recklessly.
"Then descending another 500 meters, no problem, right?" Luo Luo squatted on Nai'er's head and patted its head, asking.
"Should be no problem!" The dragon's massive body emitted a childish voice. It lowered its head and looked down.
"Then it's up to you. Don't make Brother laugh!" After Luo Luo said this, the dragon's huge head tilted and looked at Chu Tian!
"Tch~" The creature let out such a sound, which stunned Chu Tian. He was just about to exclaim "Holy shit!" when the massive body slowly disappeared.
"Air stealth? No..." However, Chu Tian quickly discerned that the slowly disappearing dragon's body was not using stealth. He suddenly remembered that Luo Luo had previously told him that Nai'er could change its color!
"So that's how it is." When he first saw its body disappear, he thought it was stealth. He immediately realized that stealth would be useless. All the aerial defense systems in the fortress had anti-stealth mechanisms.
