After a few days of rest in the highlands of the Tutu tribe, the army of Ludu departed and set off to return to Georgia. The Tutu tribe also moved away with the army, and the Continent of Silence has disappeared. There is nothing to buffer the impact of the insect kingdom Kaiseras. If the insects become angry and attack for the second time, the Tutu tribe will have to be completely wiped out of this world. With no choice, Tu Xian could only let the clansmen leave with the Ludu army, so that they would have time to recuperate.
After fighting side by side with Zero for this period of time, Merlin's hostility towards this human being has greatly diminished. Even Tuxian, the patriarch of Tuxian, often unconsciously showed a hint of respect when talking about Zero. Obviously, Zero's activity had already won the favor of this alien race, which was a surprise to Ademili. And Ademilia had many secret talks with Merlin in private, and Merlin revealed what Hamemis meant.
Hearing Hamemis' decision, Ademily was shocked even as the clone of the real king. She had a natural connection with Hamemis, but Merlin didn't say anything, and Ademily didn't even know what the adult was thinking. It can be seen that Hamemis blocked this information from her, making it impossible for Ademily to sense it.
From this, Ademili also somewhat understood why the red prince had murderous intentions towards Zero. But according to Merlin's current words, maybe Hamemis' decision is correct. The deeds of Zero helping the Tutu tribe against the Kaiseras army have already spread through the mouth of Lavicia, and have caused considerable influence among the alien races. If you add the decision made by Hamemis, then it is not certain that Zero will become a breakthrough in the coexistence of humans and alien races.
So Merlin decided to follow Hamemis' decision, and understood the good intentions of this lord.
Ademili was delighted with the change of the Red Grand Duke, and at the same time knew that Zero must have put in a lot of effort to make Merlin, who had always been stubborn, change his mind quietly. But no matter what, everything is changing for the better.
After the army of Green City left, the Continent of Silence returned to silence.
Under the cooled magma, the earth will slowly return to life. Or a hundred years, maybe longer, but one day, new greenery will reappear on this black land and form a new oasis. But that obviously won't happen in a short period of time, so when a little fluctuation of life appears in a corner of the oasis, it seems so incredible.
It's a pity that the Ludu army had already left early in the morning, otherwise, if there was a strong man of Merlin Tuxian's level, he would definitely be able to discover this life fluctuation.
Life fluctuates gradually, and finally, a hand stretches out from the cooled magma, bringing up a cloud of black mud powder. This is an arm wrapped in a substance similar to biological armor. The armor wrapped around the arm is silver and red, and the surface is flowing with a metallic luster under the skylight.
Then the ground began to vibrate, and after another arm appeared, a slender figure shot out from the ground. It jumped straight to a height of ten meters before falling gently to the ground. The figure squatting on the ground has a streamlined body, with no edges or corners, and some are just biological armor that is as smooth as a mirror and is distributed in red and silver.
It doesn't look like a human, after all, those slender legs with anti-joint structures are not what humans can have. What's more, the thin tail extending outward from the tail of its spine is even less likely to be a body part that humans can have. The sides of this thin and long tail spew out milky white gas from time to time, and the strong air current blows up the floating sand on the ground, forming a faint mist. It can be seen that there are gas propulsion organs on both sides of this thin tail, and the existence of the tail is obviously propulsive at high speed to play a balancing role.
Finally, it raised its head. On this inhuman body, there is a face of a middle-aged human man. This face belongs to the insect king Midra. But different from Midella, the eyes on his face slowly opened. A pair of eyeballs slid down from the large whites of the opened eyes. The depth of the pupil of this pair of eyeballs is composed of countless hexagons, shaped like a honeycomb structure. Each hexagon forms a single picture. After countless pictures are transmitted to the brain of this strange creature through nerves, they are naturally combined into a three-dimensional picture, allowing this strange creature to observe the details of all surrounding environments.
With this kind of vision, there is basically no possibility of being attacked.
It stood up slowly, looked at its hands, and repeated the movements of clenching and releasing. Then he started to move his body, as if he was adapting to something. Suddenly, its eyes froze. Leaning forward, he pulled out a silver-red light, and the light and shadow swept across a distance of a thousand meters in an instant, lingering in the air for a long time.
At this time, two identical figures appeared at both ends of the light. Then these two figures separated into other clones, and behind each clone was a rainbow light. As more and more clones appeared, complex light trails appeared on the entire lava field. But in an instant, all the light disappeared, and the countless clones disappeared in an instant, leaving only the figure standing quietly in the middle of the earth.
"This is... infinitely close to the speed of light." It laughed suddenly, and a thick voice that was completely disproportionate to its slender body sounded: "Midla, it turns out that your genes have such amazing potential. It's a pity that you don't even know it yourself, so you have to thank me all the more. It's me, Osmu, who has drawn out your true power. Let me use your power to lead our people to become the master of this land! "
This is Osme, the former captain of Midra's Guards. Now, after absorbing the genes and power of Midra, she is reborn, and possesses a very possible ability—sublight speed dash!
The world is connected. Although the connection is intangible, some people will always feel the subtle changes. For example, Zero, in front of the Storm Fortress, suddenly looked north, feeling uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Leah asked softly.
Yesterday evening, the three of them came to Storm Fortress according to the agreed time. This morning, Ludu's army slowly arrived. Under the command of Merlin, the army temporarily rested near the Storm Fortress. In order not to wake up Malrog the Ice Wing, the Ludu army did not dare to settle in, lest there would be side effects. At noon, after lunch, the army continued on its way. It is estimated that in three days, we will arrive at the green city of Gegenia.
He was about to set off with the team, but suddenly he was in a trance, and Ling felt uncomfortable. It's just that this feeling passed by in a flash, and when he realized it, his mind became calm again, as if the ripples just now were just an illusion. So when Lia asked, Zero just shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go."
He took Lia's hand, and he joined the army, blended into the torrent of the army, and rolled down the mountain.
The next few days were spent in calm weather, except for the strenuous march on foot, but never encountered any danger. After leaving Tulash Mountain, the team drove into the endless ice tundra. As far as the eye can see, dark green moss lichens grow on the flat tundra. These mosses are a special kind of biome in extreme environments, and their vegetative period is very short, so their growth is slow. Because of this, the moss on this tundra prolongs its life cycle in disguise. It is no exaggeration to say that they are one of the most tenacious plants on this planet.
On the surface, mossy lichens are very shallow, but if you dig into the permafrost, you will find that their roots are deep and saturated with water. Ice moss has its own independent purification system, which will automatically filter the radiation in the water. Therefore, travelers on the ice tundra can dig out the roots of the ice moss as food, and squeeze out the water to quench their thirst.
For Ludu, this ice tundra is lonely, but at the same time it is so vibrant. If it is not necessary, the people in Ludu will not deliberately destroy the biological system of the tundra. These moss lichens that stretch for thousands of miles can not only be used as an emergency food for travelers, but their greater significance lies in purifying the environment of this land. Although the purification efficiency is very limited, it is carried out at the same rate every day.
In time, this land will definitely be able to return to life. It's just that I don't know how many years it will be.
This is helpless. With the life system of this planet itself, it takes years to purify the world after the cataclysm. Obviously, Zero can't wait that long, so the Netherese Shield of Ludu is a necessary equipment. As the destination gradually approaches, Zero is also full of expectations for the kingdom of Ademily and Merlin, and hopes to gain something there.
In this mood of anticipation, the green city of Georgia has finally arrived!
This is a basin landform with a width of hundreds of kilometers. If viewed from the sky, it looks like a circular depression that has been dug out of hundreds of kilometers of ground by the growth of ice tundra. There are well-defined rock cliffs that extend down in sequence, and you can see that the bottom of the basin is a spacious flat area. Standing on this flat land is a city with an exotic style.
The architectural style of the city has a very strong taste of the ancient Roman city-state. Temples, squares, statues, wells, and bungalows are orderly distributed on this land. And the city is planted with a large number of green plants, which are evenly distributed in every corner of the city, looking down from above, like green umbrellas. These green umbrellas form regular green belts and are combined into a huge symbol with a certain meaning.
On the way here, Ademili had roughly introduced Gignia to Zero. This city, known as the Green Capital, is divided into several areas according to their functions. The temple is located in the due west of the city, where the power symbol of the entire Green City is located. It is the residence of Hamemis on weekdays, and occasionally it is used for high-level meetings of the Green City.
The ground where the temple is located has been deliberately raised to highlight its supremacy. There is a square in front of the temple, facing the temple, and at the other end of the square stands a huge statue of Hamemis. In any corner of Green City, as long as you look towards the temple, you can see the huge statue, which symbolizes that Hamemis will guard the city forever.
Below the temple, extending to the west is a residential area. There are simple stone bungalows scattered there, which are the residences of the residents of Green City. Unlike other cities, Green City has no obvious class division, let alone the distinction between nobles and commoners. Even a noble person like Ademili lived in this area on weekdays. A bungalow, a clean water storage well, and a flower bed on each side of the room. These are all of Ademili's property.
Therefore, Ludu does not have the luxury of Asgard, but has the simplicity that Asgard does not have.
The residential area occupies more than half of the city's area in Gogni, and to the east of the residential area are barracks and factories. There is another 50-meter-high wall separating the two, one is used as a partition, and the other is to prevent foreign enemies from invading. There is a movable pneumatic cannon on the fence, and when necessary, the shooting position can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is very flexible.
The barracks behind the high wall stretched into stretches. Apart from the most common types of sword soldiers and long-range support soldiers, Green City also has several special troops. Among them, the troops in charge of assault and violent destruction are called "ghosts". These Green City soldiers wear special tactical uniforms, which can turn on the individual cover mode and play the role of invisibility. The tactical suit can reflect various wave energy detection methods, making it difficult to detect. And their regular equipment includes a bio-energy pulse gun, a blasting kit, and a high-frequency knife that cuts iron like mud. The members who can become "ghosts" are all warriors who are unique in Green City.
After all, there are only less than a hundred people in the entire ghost army!
As for the other two special forces, they are "Marauders" and "Nighthawks".
The former is a power armor tactical unit, a manned power armor marauder developed by the Green Capital Science and Technology Department in combination with the scientific civilization of the Quaternary Epoch, shocking the entire western tundra with its excellent heavy firepower and mobility. Raiders have their own howitzers, rotary cannons, and portable pneumatic cannons as their main weapons. When necessary, the operator can even activate the self-explosion device of the power armor energy reactor to carry out a suicide attack. It can be said that Green City is now a terrifying force for attacking cities and land.
As for the Nighthawks, they are scouts. Their combat strength may not be very good, but they have excellent detection capabilities. The fighters who can be selected for Nighthawk all have one or two abilities in the perception domain. They are extremely penetrating and camouflaged to survive the harshest of environments. In terms of perseverance, there is no fighter in Green who can surpass his left and right.
These troops were also stationed in barracks outside the residential area. When they arrived in Green Capital, several troops were conducting small-scale combat training. On the left side of the barracks is the arsenal and several energy reactor furnaces. The arsenal mainly produces conventional weapons for the Green Capital Army, as well as the research of new power armor. The entire Green City was originally built on the city ruins of the Quaternary Civilization. The researchers of the Green City have studied and changed the technology obtained from the ruins, and developed various equipment and weapons for the soldiers of the Green City.
The energy reactor also uses uranium as the main raw material, and there are two large uranium mines on this ice tundra. Its output is enough to support the operation of Green City for hundreds of years. In addition to uranium mines, Green City also controls several raw material mines and a complex pyrite vein. These rich mineral deposits have also made Ludu the name of the strongest kingdom among the three tundra kingdoms.
