An hour ago.
Under the leadership of Elena, Lu Cheng arrived at the holy land of Skarre.
The location of the core of the earth vein.
This holy place looks a bit like... a dungeon maze in an MMORPG, lit up by a glowing mineral.
Lu Cheng has always wondered whether this luminous mineral would have radiation, but the research base has told Lu Cheng that this thing is very safe, but the reason for the luminescence is still under study.
Finally, Lu Cheng saw fiery red crystals floating in the air in a place that looked like an altar underground.
This crystal is undoubtedly the lifeline of Skare, the core of the earth vein crystal that controls the lives of the Skare people and the survival of the country!
"The fragments extending from the core should be around. I'll give them to you..." When Elena wanted to go up to the altar and give the crystal fragments extending from the altar to Lu Cheng...
The core of the Skarre earth vein suddenly burst into light, and Lu Cheng immediately protected Elena behind him and stared at the crystal.
But the next second, before Lu Cheng could react, the core of the earth vein crystal shot out a beam of light that shone on Lu Cheng's chest.
Magic...energy, Lu Cheng couldn't describe the feeling of this power surging into his body.
The magic power stored in the holy crystal on the back of Lu Cheng's hand was rising rapidly, reaching a level close to that of 1,131 human units.
"Visitor from another world, I have given you my power."
A strange voice suddenly sounded in the space, and glowing feathers fell from the sky.
A bird with four wings appeared at the location of the core crystal.
"Four-winged black eagle?" Elena named the creature that represented her country's totem, which was also the mythical beast that protected Skarre according to legend.
"I am not an eagle, nor am I black! My feathers are brightly colored. My name is Skarre, and I am the consciousness bred by the Mother Planet. I am a visitor from another world, please..."
When the bird named Skare was about to say something to Lucheng, it found that Lucheng had turned and left the altar.
"Wait a moment!"
It flapped its wings anxiously, trying to catch up with Lu Cheng. Elena also reacted and realized that she had no time to waste here!
"Are you our ancestor?"
But when Elena stepped onto the stone stairs, she found an opportunity to inquire about the origin of this magical bird.
"Ancestor? I am the mother of all of you. I have been watching you silently, but the ability to appear in this way like today is the ability given by the holy crystal in the hand of that outsider." It flapped its wings and flew out of the long aisle.
Lu Cheng had already quickly run out of the altar and came to the outside of the castle.
After finding a sufficiently open area on the outer layer of the castle, Lu Cheng clenched his left hand and released the magic power he had obtained.
A portal appeared on the ground, and Lu Cheng reached into the portal and took out a walkie-talkie.
"The first phase of the mission is complete. We have obtained 1,131 human units of energy. The battlefield is ready. All personnel are in place immediately!"
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he threw the walkie-talkie back into the portal and went directly to the inside of the city wall outside the castle. He summoned a portal on the wall that was large enough for two tanks to pass through side by side.
Elena ran out of the castle at this time. The moment she ran out, hundreds of soldiers dressed in the same attire as Lu Cheng appeared in the garden outside the castle.
"Set up the liaison command center first! Leave some space! Prepare to send the anti-aircraft guns... He Zhi! Take your soldiers to establish a defensive position outside the city wall! Our enemies are a group of mindless beasts, but don't take it lightly!"
As the commander, Lu Cheng began to give orders to the warriors who were entering this world for the first time.
Elena was so shocked watching this scene that she was speechless. What shocked her was the order and efficiency.
The hundreds of people who suddenly arrived at the battlefield had almost no verbal communication and understood what they should do in an instant. They took a large number of materials and items that Elena had never seen before and built various facilities on the open space.
"Communicator! Prioritize establishing contact with the pioneer team in area B2! Zhang Cheng! Prepare to deploy the anti-aircraft guns, follow me! The communication command will be temporarily transferred to Li Jin!"
Before coming here, Lu Cheng had rehearsed the battlefield situation and the research base countless times.
Every soldier on the battlefield was selected by Lucheng and the research base, so Lucheng could call out the names of each of them.
Elena, who was standing by, saw Lu Cheng walking out of the castle, so she immediately followed him out... until they came to a more open space outside the garden.
Lucheng directly summoned a portal on the ground, and ten anti-aircraft guns rose from the portal in a row. "
"Zhang Cheng, listen carefully. Take your team and shoot down all those flying things in the sky. Do you hear me? I want to gain air superiority within half an hour!" Lu Cheng said to the soldier named Zhang Cheng.
"Understood, Captain!"
Elena just watched from the side. Lu Cheng now seemed like a different person, with an aura that Elena could not describe.
Lu Cheng looked around and saw Elena standing not far away, and the strange bird perched on Elena's shoulder.
"Elena, after the deployment is completed, can you order everyone in the inner city to hide inside the castle? And close the magic barrier in the sky."
Lu Cheng immediately stepped forward and asked about the new Princess Elena.
Judging from the orders that the old king had given to Elena before, it seemed that the holder of the Holy Crystal could really issue some coercive orders to those without seals and those with seals.
"No problem. I am familiar with every street in the inner city and can allow residents there to take refuge. But there may also be survivors in the outer city," said Elena.
"We will try our best to save everyone, but destroying the blood crystal beast is the top priority." Just as Lu Cheng finished saying this... the bird standing on Elena's shoulder suddenly spoke.
"If you want to find my children, I can help you," it said.
"Your child?" Lu Cheng didn't want to pay attention to this bird that looked like it would give him a legendary mission.
Suddenly, a beam of red light emerged from Elena's chest and shot straight into the sky... That was where the inverted triangle mark of Elena belonging to the Kingdom of Scarre was.
Not only in Elena, the same beams of light appeared everywhere in the royal city.
"Each beam is one of my living children," it said.
"This is really a convenient ability." While Lu Cheng was thinking about the rescue plan, Elena brought a walking beast from somewhere.
"I can send someone to take you to the inner city by car." Lu Cheng said.
"The people are in a panic. They might mistake the car... for some kind of monster." Elena rode on the walking beast and picked up a giant flag that should have been planted on the castle. "Please trust my riding skills here. I will gather all the people here."
"Go ahead, Princess, and wear this."
At this point, Lu Cheng did not stop her and directly put a headset that could receive walkie-talkie signals on Elena. Then he watched Elena hold up the flag of their country high and ride away on her walking beast.
