In the history books of our time, when people study modern history, they cannot avoid the history of human exploration and conflicts after the Stargate era and the signing of a series of subsequent treaties. As the creation of the "Treaty of Suva" Or, our first advance bases in the new world came into being under such a history.
The third theater, Stargate Port Special Forces Unit 40113, Crosswind Port——
As the Republic's largest logistics base after the Star Gate, the Home of the Dragon is also the Bay of Fleets. This steep floating port built on both sides of the fjord has a glorious tradition and history. Its establishment can even be traced back to the Star Gate. The moment the door opens, because this is where the 'γ' coherence point is after humans enter the star gate.
It is the well-known 'Third Star Bridge', from which the name of the war zone comes.
Although people later discovered more star (glow) channels between the Earth and Aitaria - that is, the penetration theory, this main star bridge is still one of the most important main channels for the earth to enter Aitaria, but now The main force of mankind has gone to the second world. In addition to the Republic's reserve fleet that radiates throughout the sea of clouds, there is also a military selector training camp.
This is a season of ever-changing cloud seas. In the north, a fierce cyclone is swimming through the southern area of Rainbow Bay, making landfall on Fenris Island, causing heavy rainfall and storms.
But in the Old World, a thousand miles away in the south, the weather was clear and cloudless. There was not a breath of wind on both sides of the fjord, which is famous for its crosswinds. There were several sixth-class frigates hanging in the air between the cliffs, with only The sails of some idle sailors were hanging down sadly, dazzling in the sun.
The sun was scorching the earth. On the training ground, a fat man covered his head with a shield and sat down on the ground. His whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, except for sticking out his tongue. He was as tired as a dog. If you can still If you recognize his appearance, you will definitely be able to remember his identity - Luo Hao. He is a little fatter than he was more than a month ago. What is frustrating is that it is as if a month of military training has had no effect on him. The impact is the same.
However, he passed the physical fitness test in the old world, so this person will be sent here - Sidewind Harbor together with other military trainees, for a three-month temporary training, and about two-thirds of them will be eliminated. And the rest will become the real chosen ones.
There was only a five-minute break between training sessions. Luo Hao had learned to seize the time to replenish his physical fitness. He took a sip of water, then squinted his small eyes and looked at the military people coming and going in the square.
The shield on his shoulders felt ridiculously heavy. Luo Hao gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. He didn't want to be a shield warrior. What good was the iron guard? He has a job as a big boss, a human shield in people's eyes, muddy legs, and a background that can never be shown off. Of course he wants to be a combat craftsman - at worst, he is also a naturalist, a national treasure, rich and well-liked by everyone, but it's a pity that his previous The test results had ruthlessly put an end to all his delusions.
Only then did he realize that the 'theoretical knowledge' he was proud of in the community was of little use in the new world. Controlling a clockwork goblin crookedly almost cost him his life, but at best it was only It can make the latter wander around for a while before hitting something.
Not to mention the naturalist - he has no talent for languages either.
Fortunately, the only good thing is that he is going further and further on the road of shield warrior, and he has an unstoppable momentum. Even the instructor thinks that he is extremely talented in close combat heavy warriors, and he has a chance of becoming a real chosen one. Very high.
But this news didn't make Luo Hao happy.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the video he saw two months ago, in which the guy dual-controlled the Clockwork Fairy. Although he was a little jealous and didn't want to admit it, he still couldn't help but be more and more envious of the other person's talent. .
He took another sip of water.
There were more and more military people coming and going in the square, which made Luo Hao a little strange - he knew that in the season of approaching storms, the main fleet would go to Ithulian further south to take shelter, and there were usually no other people in the base except them. There are almost only three or two big cats and kittens among these trainees.
Where did these people come from?
Have an urgent task?
At this moment, a total of six silver towers lined up opposite each other on both sides of the cliff in the distance suddenly lit up a magic circle and slowly rotated over the towers - and then suddenly a beam of light spear came from Rising from the formation, they all shot towards a certain direction above the sky.
When Luo Hao saw this scene, he almost choked a mouthful of water directly from his nose and coughed endlessly.
He crawled up from the ground, looked up with his mouth wide open and stared dumbfoundedly at the six dazzling light pillars that shot straight into the sky, with a rainbow halo at the end, and disappeared at the end of the sea of clouds.
"Battle level magic!?"
Luo Hao's mind exploded with a buzz. He hadn't seen the military use magic of this level in many years. What's going on? The Empire invades again? Or have humans and indigenous people declared war? But no matter which one, it can only mean one thing in his mind——
Something big happened!
Luo Hao immediately wanted to turn on the shooting function in the Selector system, but found that the system had been locked. He immediately understood what was going on, and the base entered the highest combat readiness state. He threw away the bottle in his hand, turned around and ran towards the camp. Not long after, he saw a trainee in his team hurriedly waving to him.
"Fat man, hurry up, the training camp is temporarily canceled!"
"what happened?"
"I don't know, something big seems to have happened to Fenris!"
"Fenrys?"
"It's not clear yet. The instructor asked us to go to the teaching area and hold a small impromptu meeting."
Luo Hao looked back at the six beams of light that pierced the sky.
Stopped involuntarily.
Stargate Port——
Within the emergency command center, reports were coming from various departments.
"The A3 type magic at Crosswind Port Base has been prepared——"
"There are no obvious obstacles to the interstellar passage."
"The supplies are ready."
"The nearest fleet is patrolling fourteen hundred kilometers south of Fenris."
"The target coordinates are between A310221 and A210214, and the level is minus 120."
Ambassador Liao glanced at the report in his hand, nodded slightly, and then raised his head to look at Fang Yu at the top of the screen and said: "Mr. Xia Ya, the supplies you requested will be delivered within five minutes. The interstellar channel of A3 type magic is not necessarily stable, so it is very likely to suffer losses. In addition, our accuracy can only be within plus or minus one mile at a distance of one thousand kilometers, so in order to ensure that the target is reached, we Three batches of supplies will be delivered in three transmissions spaced a quarter of an hour apart."
He paused: "Then please find the material transfer point by yourself, but if it fails three times, the next transfer will have to wait until three hours after recharging."
"Finally, if your mission fails, we will try to use A2 type magic to strike your location. The strike is expected to arrive in six hours, and a fleet will intervene afterwards."
Fang Yu nodded slightly. A3-type spells were the first level of campaign-level spells. The military actually activated campaign-level magic to deliver supplies to them. He couldn't help but clenched his fists for a moment, feeling a sense of participation. The feeling of being in history.
As for the A2 type magic, the only type of A2 magic he had ever heard of was the Flame of Revelation. During the Battle of Byrne, the military once used A2 type magic to annihilate an entire imperial squadron. However, the empire's revenge after that was also quite brutal. In that battle, characters above legends were killed on both sides.
And this is not the nuclear weapon of the old era. It is a reflection of a country's industrial capabilities. But in Aitalia, powerful magical weapons are not only the crystallization of alchemy, but also the product of legendary characters, Dragon Knight and Sky Knight. The battlefield is a true display of a country's strength.
Fang Yu turned off the communicator and looked back at the others. Everyone understood what was going on. Everyone in Silver Wisland was a little quiet, and everyone was waiting for him to give the order.
But the latter only stood in the darkness, with shadow covering most of his face, and the flickering light of the torch only reflected the face under his mask.
Fang Yu didn't say anything to encourage people. He just stood there quietly and said, "Everyone, let's hold a temporary combat meeting."
"Mr. Xia, is there no time to talk about this now?" The leading knight finally couldn't help but ask.
"A sharpened sword will never waste time in chopping wood," Fang Plover replied: "Before taking action, we'd better understand what our course of action and purpose are."
He glanced at the captured Night Lizard Warrior Captain.
The holographic projections of Ming, Sophie and KUN were all standing aside. KUN only nodded to express his agreement with his opinion.
Fang Yu nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone present should understand the current situation. Our goal is to prevent Tolagatos from resurrecting into a dark god with the help of the body of God. So what do you think we are going to do? Prevent?"
Dianmoqingzhu thought for a while and replied: "As long as we defeat these night lizards and get to the obelisk before them, can't we do it?"
"Now that we have repelled them just once, shouldn't we hurry up? When their large forces surround us, we will be in trouble. Even if we have military support, we only have so few manpower after all..."
Fang Plover looked at him and asked, "So you think - our opponents are the night lizards? And the Jeffrite red team behind them?"
Dianmo Qingzhu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it true? Boss, you also said that they are colluding with the Dragon Worship Cult?"
Fang Yu shook his head.
He replied: "The military has contacted Jeffrit's headquarters, but they claim that this is just an action of one of their subgroups, and the purpose is only the obelisk and the map below, and has nothing to do with anything else. It does not admit that it has any relationship with the cultists." Ran——There is nothing we can do, after all, we only have the evidence of the blood oath."
Dianmo Ranqingzhu whistled: "That's right. Team Jeffrit in red is very skillful, and the evasion is quite clean."
Fang Yu didn't speak. He knew in his heart that Jefflett Redcoat didn't tell the truth, but it might not be all dodge.
And that's the real trouble -
"So, have you contacted the people below them?" Qian asked.
Fang Plover only glanced at her and shook his head: "The regiment coming down from Jeffrite's red team, all communication channels are silent at the moment, and they are not responding to any calls——"
"How is that possible?" The ink-stained green bamboo monster shouted, "What about the blood oath?"
"The senior management of the Blood Oath cannot be contacted for the time being, and the remaining elite groups are all underground, and the ordinary members have no idea what is going on below."
The leading knight was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be an excuse? How can there be such a coincidence? Isn't our communication not very good?"
Ming smiled: "You are good, but it is not necessarily the case for dead people."
"Dead person?" Dianmo Dianqingzhu seemed to be stuck: "Wait a minute, Sister Ming, are you saying that the members of Jefflite's red team are destroyed?"
He finished speaking.
Everyone seemed to suddenly think of this possibility.
It was like a cold wind blowing through, making everyone unable to help but close their mouths.
For a moment, there was only the swaying light of the torches and the sound of hunting in the darkness, while other sounds were quietly silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
That was an elite group, plus a group from the Blood Oath, how could it disappear without a trace? Although the Jefflite Red Team is not one of the top ten guilds, it still has the strength to become one of the top ten guilds. Although its level is somewhat different from theirs, it is not completely different.
What's going on down here?
"I didn't say that," Ming then replied, "I just expressed a possibility."
"But there is another possibility," KUN analyzed: "That is that the Jeffree Red Team did not tell the truth."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Plover on the side.
Fang Plover didn't speak either.
He just held up the crystal in his palm, faced everyone, and said: "Requesting video transmission signal."
"Understood," the voice of the military personnel in the communication channel said: "Redirect to the intelligence center."
After the rustling noise, the channel seemed to change, and someone inside snorted softly.
Only Ming narrowed his eyes and glanced over there.
A holographic projection was projected from the crystal in Fang Plover's palm and landed in front of everyone. It was the body of a night lizard that had been photographed before.
"This is the body of a night lizard, taken three minutes ago." A cold female voice came from the channel, which was the voice analyzed by Viurs: "You can take a look at its subsequent changes in these three minutes. .”
Time began to flow faster, and in a moment, the corpse began to decay, and in the blink of an eye it decomposed into a black smoke.
And the black smoke was like running water, seeping into the ground little by little and disappearing without a trace.
Including Sophie, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but open their mouths.
This is the second time that Fang Pliant has seen this scene, but he is still a little shocked in his heart. However, the cold beauty of Elite over there still has the same voice: "What you are seeing now is the dark force's devouring of vitality - that is, the devouring and swallowing of starlight. The decomposition process, this scene happened three minutes ago, when your battle just ended."
"According to the information sent back by Mr. Xia, 70% of the corpses on the entire battlefield have completely disappeared in this form, and this is very different from our normal understanding."
"Normally, the corpse left behind by Xinghui's death will remain for a long time until it naturally degrades, and parts such as bone that are difficult to be digested by microorganisms can sometimes be preserved for tens or even hundreds of years. "
"Wait a minute, what the hell is this? Why can't I understand what you are saying, or is this some kind of evil black magic?" The strong man in black who had been silently watching this scene finally couldn't bear it. Just asked.
He looked at these 'holographic projections' with suspicion, because the crystal projections were made of visible light, so ordinary people could obtain information without hindrance.
As for Sylvester, she stood opposite her subordinates, always at Fang Plover's side, thoughtful and silent.
When the lizard warrior commander not far away saw this scene, he couldn't help showing a horrified look, struggling and letting out a hissing scream, while retreating.
When Fang Yu turned his head, Tata told him that what the other party said was: "Evil black magic!"
Fang Yu nodded, keeping this guy's reaction in mind.
"This is a pool of blood," he then answered to the others.
"This is a pool of blood," Tata translated simultaneously in his mind: "Mr. Knight."
"The blood pool has always been one of the most evil rituals. The followers of the evil god sacrifice their flesh and soul to some unknown great beings in the dark abyss in exchange for the evil god's manifestation in the world."
"Since we are advocating magic in the Ostory, this type of ritual is also an absolute taboo. The empire has an inquisition, and many cult believers who are proficient in this are imprisoned in it."
At the same moment, Elite's naturalist lady was introducing this evil spell to everyone in the same calm voice.
After saying that, she glanced at Fang Yu in surprise, probably because she didn't expect that the other party actually knew this.
How much does this man know?
Is he really new?
"Blood pool?" Sophie frowned, and an idea flashed in her mind: "So the beginning of the twelfth floor is not actually a dead zone, but a huge sacrificial site?"
Fang Plover nodded.
Just like this, he actually remembered another thing in his mind, that is, Gubai Zhiye once told him that someone had discovered the Dead Zone below here in the past, but not everyone who went deep into the ruins had encountered it. Such a situation.
The other party even went there in person, but in the end found nothing.
As we all know, the dead zone is permanent.
But the sacrificial ceremony is different.
"I understand," Dianmo Ranqingzhu also understood: "No wonder that guy Toragotos doesn't want us to come down. Silver Vislan's combat power is obviously stronger and it is more in line with its requirements. But if The purpose of Toragotos is to make everyone kill each other here, so that makes sense——"
"Because Silver Vislan is a bit too strong in its opinion. At the same level of fifteen, we are the ones most likely to ruin its plan."
"But you can still come down by yourself?" Parker couldn't help but ask.
"Have you forgotten that it trapped us on the seventh floor for five full hours? If we hadn't happened to come down here through the underground abyss, I'm afraid that by the time we got to the twelfth floor, the day lilies would have been cold. And you Don’t forget, we were also attacked in the Underground Abyss.”
Parker was stunned.
But everyone was a little silent.
"Killing each other?" Sophie shook her head. She couldn't help but look at Fang Plover: "Xia Ya, what do you think?"
"Of course it's impossible," Fang Yu shook his head: "The people who came down are not fools. How can they kill each other on a large scale in the Dead Zone? If this is the idea of Toragotos, then it is too stupid. A little bit."
"But I thought, maybe it's not that stupid."
He looked at everyone: "So there must be a third party on the battlefield, hiding behind everyone, secretly waiting for a fatal opportunity to allow Tolagatos' plan to be realized."
His words were a bit sinister, causing everyone to look behind him.
But Fang Yu continued: "As we all know, the laws of the Black Holy City were established by the hands of the Xinsas snake people. Those great snake people sages used the power of the sun gods to complete this trial place. From the summary The limited information available is that even Toragotos cannot break through the fifteenth-level law restriction here, so since the moment it left this ruins in its youth, it has never been able to step back into this place. "
"Therefore, it can only use the power of mortals to complete its plan. Perhaps as you think, the possibility of the Jeffree Red Team is not ruled out."
Fang Plover paused.
Then he continued: "But it could be someone else."
"other people?"
It was at this time that the rustling sound came from the communication channel again.
The voice of a military personnel came through the channel: "Mr. Xia, the investigation you commissioned previously has produced results. We have confirmed that since the second half of last year, no obelisk has appeared in Nosnica. There are no rumors or rumors about the existence of the obelisk in this area."
"Mr. Xia Ya, do you have any other questions?"
"without thanks."
"You're welcome, Mr. Char."
Fang Yu then gently closed the crystal in his palm and raised his head to look at the crowd.
But first he glanced at the noble lady beside him - since the second half of last year, no obelisk has appeared in Nosnica, and there are no rumors or rumors about the existence of obelisks in this area.
This meant that his previous guess was correct.
The Rain Listener claimed that what he brought back from Nosnica was a map, but it was just a misleading statement that made everyone, including him, think it was a rumor related to the obelisk.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Then there is only one possibility left - what the other party brought back at that time was the body of God.
But there is a small problem here. Fang Plover realized that if Toragotos was not competing with Sylvester for the map on the obelisk, then why would the latter know the identity of the noble lady? He glanced at the other party in confusion, and Sylvester was so smart that of course she understood what her captain was thinking immediately.
She smiled slightly, showing him that she had no hidden malice.
Fang Yu sighed. The other party said at the time that all this was related to his father. He believed that the noble lady was not lying, but what exactly it was related to, it seems that there is still a big problem.
However, he wisely did not mention this point. The key at the moment was Toragotos, not Sylvide's father. To mention this point hastily would only make the other party a target of public criticism. Fang Plover didn't want to shift his focus yet.
What's more, he actually already has the answer in his mind.
He raised the communication crystal in his hand, and then replied: "We can't be sure whether the Jeffrit Red Team is on the same side as Toragotos, but the Rain Listeners can't escape suspicion, and more importantly, this The other parties on the battlefield..."
"Whether it's the blood oath," he looked back at the night lizards who were tied to the ground: "and these night lizards, they may be our enemies."
"But you must understand that one side is our enemy, and the other side will be our potential ally, because the blood pool needs to drink blood and souls - this is certainly a key step in Tolagoth's plan," Fang Yu replied: "So assuming we choose the wrong opponent, then instead of being able to stop Toragotos, we will become its accomplice."
Everyone fell silent.
"Then how should we identify it?" Tenaric asked in a low voice. This was the first time it had spoken in a long time. It seemed that only then did the lizardman prince from Andasok truly accept this. Fact: "Time is running out, my human brothers."
"That's enough, I think I have the answer."
Fang Plover replied.
Everyone was slightly startled and looked at him in surprise.
But Fang Yu picked up the communication crystal in his hand and whispered: "Mr. Ambassador, I still need you to do me one last favor."
In just a moment, the ambassador's voice came from the communication crystal: "Mr. Xia, just speak."
"Please help me find someone."
"who?"
"Her name is Alyssa. She is a member of the elite group of Listening to the Rain. Please bring someone with you - the ID is Gubai Zhiye. I have sent the latter's communication code to Miss Virus. Please go to Fenris Island. Look for this lady in a Mirela temple near the Russ Valley."
"I guess she won't be too far away."
"But beware of ambushes and keep her safe."
…
