It was dusk, but the war continued.
Yes, war.
This term, which was almost forgotten by the humans on the Central Continent, finally returned to people's field of vision half a month ago. After the Augustus family settled in Phoenix City, after about two weeks of preparations, the first army had already begun to advance westward, which had to be attributed to Hart, the eldest son of the Augustus family. The man known as the Little Golden Lion by the outside world does have the style of his father Leo, efficient and courageous. It took only two weeks to mobilize and prepare supplies for the war, followed by the westward push.
Hart's advance was steady and orderly, establishing supply points, large and small, along the way. These supply points will facilitate the transportation of materials for the lengthy wars in the future. In order to consolidate the foundation needed for these wars, the speed of the army's advance is not fast. It took a week, and it was only a few hundred kilometers forward. Then, in this position, Augustus' army was finally thwarted.
The one in the way is naturally Asgard's army. The two sides began to fight in the ruins of the city in this wilderness. After one week in a row, the situation of the war has begun to evolve into a tug-of-war.
As the side of Asgard, participating in the mixed Legion of Golden Battleaxe and Doomhammer. At present, only ordinary servants are rushing to the front line of the battlefield, and the elites of the two legions have not yet arrived. But Sol, the head of the legion, the man who bears the name of Thor has already arrived, and using the ruins of the city as a stage, he has demonstrated a strategic and military quality no less than that of Hart.
At the beginning of the war, Asgard's side was almost retreating steadily, and Augustus' soldiers all thought that defeating the enemy's first army was just around the corner. However, Thor showed amazing resilience, guerrilla, maneuvering, confusing the enemy, and traps. Under his command, Asgard's army was like a thin but soft rope. Seeing that the rope was about to be torn, but it was It was barely maintained by a minute and a half.
Three days later, Asgard's reinforcements arrived one after another. With the arrival of various armored vehicles and heavy weapons, and even the appearance of biochemical beasts, Asgard's army finally stabilized its position in this war. They established an effective and strong line of defense to resist Augustus's attack. Sol's command style also underwent a 180-degree change. The remnants of Augustus chased and killed until the opponent's camp, and ate up all the remnants, and finally walked away under the heavy artillery fire from the enemy camp.
This is tantamount to Sol giving Asgard's soldiers a shot in the arm, and he also redeemed the previous criticism that he did not dare to confront each other head-on, and proved to the warring parties that he not only has military talents, even if it is personal force, he is also not capable. will be inferior to anyone. In the eyes of those with far-sighted eyes, this is Thor's provocation to the commander of the Augustus army and Hart, the eldest son of the family, who has been commanding the rear since the beginning of the war but has never rushed to the battlefield.
Hart just laughed it off. In his opinion, if a war requires the commander to kill the enemy on the front line, it is not far from defeat. So two men with completely different ideas about war used the ruins of the city as a battlefield to display their means and ignited the first flame of war on the mainland.
In the evening light, an artillery tank painted with protective colors turned in from the left side of the street. In front of it, is one of Asgard's barricades. In front of the barricades was a row of concrete barricades, boxy blocks covered with stone needles, which were prepared for armored vehicles. Behind the barricades are sandbags and trenches, and behind them are soldiers hiding in the trenches.
The appearance of the artillery tanks is undoubtedly preparing to storm the barricade. The soldiers in the trenches have already raised their guns and fired. Of course, their bullets pose a limited threat to the artillery tanks. On the chariot of the Augustus family, as the gunner in the car adjusted the angle, there was a bang, and those roadblocks were shot into the sky in the flames of the explosion. With another shot, the sandbags splashed, and several unlucky soldiers were blown away by the strong blast and flew out.
Then a group of soldiers rushed out from behind the artillery tank, and they charged the half-damaged barricade. Although the soldiers on the other side of the barricade resisted tenaciously, as long as the artillery tanks fired another shot, the barricade would cease to exist. At this moment, an anti-armor missile was fired from the window of a building on the left street. The missile dragged its flame tail, and with a sharp howl, it hit Augustus' tank in an instant, followed by an explosion and flames, and the tank turned into a fireball on the street.
A dozen giant wolves ran in from the left and right sides of the front barricade. They were about the same size as a calf, and they were covered with dark hair. These giant wolves are biochemical beasts developed by Asgard, possessing agility and strength comparable to ligers and tigers. Their claws are plasma and capable of ripping through armor. Biochemical beasts roam the battlefield, they have no specific target, and they will attack immediately as soon as they recognize the enemy.
Just like now, these dozen or so giant wolves immediately launched an attack when they saw the soldiers of the Augustus family. They run like the wind, and can even move on vertical building walls. For ordinary soldiers, these guys are nightmares.
The giant wolf crashed into the enemy group like the wind, and the roar of soldiers and the roar of machine guns resounded through the streets. Several giant wolves were shot in the vitals and died on the spot, but the rest went on a killing spree. They pounced on the soldiers, could crush their heads with a bite, and disemboweled them with a pull of their claws. The battle was fierce and short, and when all of Augustus's commandos were killed, only one or two giant wolves were left alive.
They are the lowest-level biochemical beasts, and they only have a slight advantage over ordinary wolf-type mutant beasts in terms of physical fitness. As for their abilities, they only have plasma claws. But they are cheap and can be produced on a large scale. Now there are hundreds of giant wolves wandering in the ruins of the city, like an army of biochemical beasts, which made Augustus' camp have to guard against the sneak attacks of these wild beasts that appear and disappear in the dark.
The battle to assault the barricade ended in failure, and it also heralded that today's war has come to an end. Reports from the battlefield were sent back to the headquarters of both sides like snowflakes through their respective communication systems, so that the big shots could judge the situation of the war.
Far away in Asgard, on the top floor of the Twelve Main God Hall, there was a short and stocky figure in Douglas' office today. Cario was puffing, the smoke from the cigar in his mouth almost covered his square face, but it couldn't hide the sharpness in his eyes. He took down the cigar and tapped a small amount of ash on the table. Immediately, a small suction machine rose from the edge of the table, which produced a thin and strong suction airflow, sucked the soot completely, and then fell back down.
Callio looked across the office, where Douglas was reading a briefing. Judging from the smile on the old fox's face, the battle on the front line should be smooth. The chief instructor coughed dryly and said, "Don't make fun of yourself, at least tell me what you are happy about?"
"It's nothing, just looking at the young people today, thinking of us yesterday, and sighing that time travels like a weaving." Douglas said completely indifferently.
"Fart." Kario scolded: "Do you think I would want to believe these lies to children? Tell me, how is Saul doing?"
"It's not too bad. Now he has blocked the attack of that brat Augustus, but there is no way to beat that brat back to his hometown for the time being."
"There is no way around this. Only Thor and a few core members of the Doomhammer are left to support him, and he can't fight like before. But Augustus doesn't seem to have put the fallen angel group into battle yet. See Come on, that little devil named Hart is testing our bottom line."
"It should be so." Douglas looked at Cario and said with a smile: "It's you, how can you still sit still knowing that the Augustus family sent troops? I thought you would go to the front line so I don't have to send Sol Sent over."
"Why, do you feel sorry for your son?" Cario bit his cigar and said with a smile: "Since the old boy Leo is unwilling to get out by himself, I am naturally embarrassed to use the big bully to deal with his son. The brat's war is natural. Leave it to the kid to deal with, and Sol has done a good job so far, so I'm happy to be free."
Douglas smiled and said nothing, this war will not end so soon, it is just a prelude. There is still no movement from the parliament, and Leo of Augustus has not personally entered the battlefield. The battles so far have been tentative attacks on each other, and a bigger storm is still brewing.
"Compared to the battle between Sol and Leo's son, I care more about what that kid Zero pulled back. I heard that it was a spaceship. If you say that this kid is really capable, he actually got such a thing from under the eyes of that old guy Ogg. The big iron block was pulled back. Now it has been transported to his company's base, I guess you will regret it. If you knew that kid was still hiding this treasure, you shouldn't let him escape from destruction so quickly Hammer. Otherwise, this spaceship is yours now." Kario half-jokingly said.
Douglas shook his head and said, "You think Ling is a fool? He's not stupid, otherwise he wouldn't wait to pull the spaceship back after being separated from the establishment, but I'm just curious, where did he find this kind of thing? .Looking at it, it seems that it is not as simple as the spaceship of the old era."
"Maybe it's a product of the same era as the holy relic, so he will get rich." Cario said.
"Is it something from the Fourth Epoch..." Douglas' eyes fell on the brain screen in front of the desk, and there were several photos on the screen. The centerpiece of the photo is wilderness, and a caravan appears in the photo. In the middle of the convoy is a huge monster. The upper tarpaulin seemed to be lifted by the wind, exposing the front half of the spaceship, and the streamlined body was clearly reflected in Douglas' eyes.
When Zero woke up, he found himself back in the temple of Ludu. The tall figure was facing the window, and it was Hamomis.
He sat up, knowing that he was still in the room of the Zero Company base, and what he saw now was only the projection of Hamemis' will. Hearing Zero's movement, Hammeris turned around and said calmly, "I'm here to say goodbye."
"I thought you had disappeared."
"It's almost there, it was still there before. But in order not to disturb you, I always hide in the depths of my consciousness."
"This kind of hobby is not good, it will become a voyeur."
"You can also tell jokes, can it be regarded as a transformation?"
Ling smiled, shook his head and said: "Well, I used to tie myself too tightly. But now I see that there is still a long way to go, and I can't drive myself crazy before the road is finished. Therefore, a proper adjustment It's still necessary."
Hamemis nodded and said: "This kind of mentality is very good, otherwise, if you always regard tomorrow as the end of the world, you will indeed go crazy."
"So you're here now, aren't you just chatting with me?"
"Of course not, obviously I don't have that free time." Hamemis stretched out his hand, and a small figure floated in his palm. This is a humanoid alien life, with a human face, but behind the bald head, there are "hairs" like beards flying. The body is covered with fine purple scales, and there are crystal eyes embedded in the shoulder socket, chest and knees.
Holding a trident in his hand, the surface of the halberd has wave-like lines extending and converging into a blue spar at the top. From time to time, faint blue flames would spew out from the spar, flowing in the wavy lines, rippling like water waves.
"Belafal, the lord of Beiyang?" Zero revealed the identity of the person in Hammeris' palm.
Hamemis nodded and said: "We also discussed it during the spiritual fusion before. Now that the pattern of human beings in the world has been basically established, it will not be easy to break this pattern rashly. Secondly, it may bring unpredictable consequences. So my The suggestion is to get in touch with other true kings, if you can unite the power of other true kings, it will be enough to form an irresistible trend. It’s just that those guys may not be as easy-talking as me.”
"How is your Destiny now?" Hammeris asked again.
Zero replied: "I have found a way to allow other people to enter the spacecraft, that is, to crack its identification system. It is not difficult to say, Dr. Ke De used my blood to create a DNA key, similar to an electronic magnetic card , with it, you can enter the spaceship. The damaged part has been repaired with other materials. As for the other systems of the spaceship, Dr. Curd is currently cracking it. After all, this thing is something from the last era, although I also use it It has been flying for a while, but judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it is not an ordinary difficulty to make it fly again. According to Kodd's plan, he probably wants to change the Destiny from flying in the sky to swimming in the sea... . .. "
"That's fine, then you can go to Bellafar first." Hamemis nodded.
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course, because I come from the same place as him." Hamemis pointed to his head: "Don't ask me where I come from, the answer is already in your mind, just think about it."
Zero and Hamemis have completed the spiritual integration. In addition to inheriting huge spiritual power from him, there is also Hamemis' memory and cognition of the universe and the world. The huge amount of information is almost comparable to a brain information database. Zero has been awake for a while, but he has not digested it all. Only when he needs to use it, he will retrieve the information he needs through this information database.
Just like now, as soon as Hamemis finished speaking, he thought about the information about Belafar in his mind, and then he knew a general idea. Originally in the design of Proseus, Hamemis and Belafal will be the true kings who dominate the ocean. It's just that the two have different routes to build the country. Hamemis belongs to creating a systematic biochemical country from scratch.
In Proseus' blueprint built into the Black Crown, the current Green City should have been located in the South Pacific Ocean in the old era, in the trench deep in the ocean, using the huge space of the ocean to breed planetary-grade biochemical weapons .
As for Belafal, he controls the mutated creatures in the ocean and transforms them into his own soldiers, thus becoming the overlord of the ocean.
However, against the wishes of Proseus, Hamemis migrated from the sea to the land and established the green capital of Georgia on the frozen moss plain. That's why in the temple square in Ludu, the statue of Hamemis has the image of riding the waves.
When retrieving the information of the Lord of Beiyang, Zero also got his coordinates. To Zero's surprise, although Belafal is known as the Lord of the Northern Ocean, he is not located in the northern ocean, but is located between the two continental plates of the Middle Continent and the Western Continent, known as the Gate of the Abyss in the maelstrom of the sea. Seeing the surprised expression on Zero's face, Hamemis smiled lightly: "Belafal uses the natural energy generated by the maelstrom to disturb mother's perception of him. After all, he is a true king of fighting type. They are not as tough as I am. And other combat-type true kings more or less use certain natural environments to cut off the connection with their mothers, so their positions are probably dangerous places for human beings. .”
"Go to Belafal. If you get his help, your influence will spread throughout the ocean. This will also be of great help to the search for holy relics. After all, as far as I know, most of the holy relics are sunk in the depths of the ocean." .Only a small amount of relics have been lifted to the surface of the continent by changes in the earth’s crust.” After speaking, Hamemis turned around slowly: “Okay, I can only accompany you to this point. The next road is only for you to go. Explored. Close the door for me when you leave."
Zero knew that when he left the temple, the will would return to reality. And Hamemis will stay here forever, or completely disappear from his will. He took a deep look at the tall figure in front of him, and then bowed to Hamomis. As the true king who has made great contributions to him and the whole world, Hamemis is absolutely qualified to receive this gift from him.
Pushing open the door, there is darkness outside the door, just like the dark age that Zero is in. Without hesitation, he strode into the darkness. Behind him, the gate of the temple gradually closed. When the entire gate was closed, darkness quietly overwhelmed it. At the same time, Zero's eyes lit up, and he saw the furnishings of the base room.
He is back.
