"However, this will push me in front of Sauron. I will also lose all the advantages of being in the dark..." Paul had a hesitant expression on his face.
Ling folded his arms around his chest, showing a calm smile: "Your Highness Paul, there is always a price for everything. As long as you gain more than you pay, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, I think that if you can be the Pope If you add a layer of gold called Holy Son to your identity, it will be of great benefit to the threat to Sauron and to consolidate your throne in the future, isn't it?"
"Indeed, if the people of Rome believe that I am the Son of God, even if this war is won by you, you only need to use some means to transfer the victory to me. Do you think so, Mr. Zero?" ’” Paul smiled.
Zero nodded: "I've heard a saying that demons are good at deceiving, and gods are artists of lies. I think as the Son of God, you should also have this ability."
Paul shrugged and said, "I can take your words as a compliment. Then, when will this miracle be realized?"
"At least after this counterattack from the Pope's Hall, I think they can't wait to fly over now."
"Indeed, Sauron is eager to chew your bones and send them down with wine." Paul said with a smile: "Whether they don't want to, we are already trying to buy you time. But there is not much time, one more month for them will call."
"I'll be ready for the fight."
"You'd better not underestimate Sauron." Paul frowned slightly: "Take it as my down payment for the miracle. To tell you the truth, there must be someone strong behind Sauron. Although He concealed it very well, but it is inevitable to show it from some traces. Not long ago, an old general of our knight order and some subordinates disappeared in Sauron's palace for no reason. I didn’t go anywhere, but no one appeared again.”
"One more thing, not long after you captured Kanon, Sauron summoned the two commanders of the 2nd and 9th legions. They also went to Sauron's palace, the difference is that they came out .And judging from the information I got at hand, these two people just went around in the palace and raised a whole level! Yes, they were only eighth level when they entered, but they were already ninth level when they came out!" Paul smiled wryly, "Do you know what that means?"
Zero said in horror: "Artificially raising the rank? This is indeed terrible, but it should pay a high price. Otherwise, Sauron would have created an army of high-level ability users if there was such a method. Let's not Speaking of taking down Canon, I'm afraid they will be wiped out just after going to the Broken Bay."
"It should be so." Paul sighed, "But no matter what, at least in a short period of time, Sauron already has two ninth-level abilities. If other legion commanders can do the same, then the ninth-level ability users in his hands will be even more powerful." There are many. So this counterattack, if it doesn’t come, it will be nothing. If it comes, it will be thunderous. You have to be careful.”
"I know, we also have a ninth-level powerhouse here. There are three people including me, so in terms of high-end combat power, at least I have the confidence that I will not lose to the Pope's Hall."
"Of course, if it wasn't like this, I wouldn't dare to place heavy bets on you." Paul put his hood back on and said, "I have to go back, at least until the miracle doesn't come, I have to play that Harmless sheep. Nice to meet you, Mr. Zero, fate is an incredible force."
"Yes, I hope we can cooperate happily." Zero stretched out his hand.
Without hesitation, Paul stretched out his hand and gave Zero a firm grip, before leaving with a smile.
He was gone, and Oran left quietly. Only then did Zero have the time to sit down and look at the pile of reports on the table that he had accumulated in the past few days when he was absent. He couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that this job is really not easy to do. After thinking about it, I sat down, picked up the report and looked at it.
First, about the construction of the mecha squad, the report was brought up by Mamelo. After the former legion leader and Mr. X came to Canon Fortress, they received orders from Zero to select the right person from the Sea God Corps to drive Essien's Knight of the Round Table and the twenty Paladin mechs captured from Tucson. .
Originally, in the Knights of the Holy Seal, only the leader of the Knights of the Round Table is qualified to drive, but this does not mean that only the eighth rank can drive this big guy. It's just that for the Knights, letting the head of the army drive it is a status symbol. Only King Arthur really needs to use the eighth level or higher. Its operating system does need to be above the eighth level to be able to exert its maximum effect.
As for the other knights of the round table, more emphasis is placed on the combat experience of the pilots. Of course, eighth-level pilots will play a greater role. As for the low-level ones, as long as they are proficient in operation, they are not much worse than the high-level ones. In particular, Essien's Knight of the Round Table is a general-purpose model, and has not been remodeled according to the driver's fighting style like Habes.
The Knights of the Round Table of the general-purpose model uses standard equipment, which means that it is not much worse for people other than Essien to drive.
Based on this, Mamelo proposed to Zero to select the pilot of the Knights of the Round Table from the members of the Trident, and finally decided that Eureka the Jaeger was the most suitable for this role. First of all, Eureka itself is a seventh-level ability user, which is only one step away from the eighth-level ability user. Secondly, in the previous series of tests, Eureka has a high adaptability to the Knights of the Round Table's operating system, at least far more than other guys.
So without any suspense, Essien's knights of the round table were operated by Eureka. The logo belonging to Essien on the previous knight mecha was erased, and a black skua was re-sprayed as the logo of this mecha.
As for the 20 paladin mechas sent from Tucson later, suitable drivers have been found, and Mamelo is currently leading the 21 pilots to carry out combat training on the mechas. However, Mamelo said that to form a certain threat on the battlefield, twenty paladins alone are not enough. This kind of mecha needs to be increased to at least fifty before it can play a role in a battle with more than a thousand people.
For this, Zero can not give satisfaction, at least temporarily. However, the paladin type is already an obsolete mecha. When the fourth-generation Air Angel can be mass-produced, the unmanned mecha with low-altitude cruise and firepower advantages will definitely replace the paladin. Insufficient flexibility is the blemish of paladin mechas, and their role is only stronger than heavy firepower like heavy artillery turrets.
But for Zero One, which does not have the production capacity, as long as it is used properly, the paladin mecha can still play a certain role. As Mamelo said, 30 more are needed to be effective in a large-scale battle. Zero thought about whether to go to Mesa City before the Pope's Hall came. Last time, I didn't have time to visit the mecha warehouse in the city because I didn't have enough life.
A large city like Mesa should have a stock of paladin mechas. Thinking of this, Zero immediately made a decision, planning to ask Man Shan to take people to search again, and only hoped that their mechs had not been transferred.
Most of the following reports are about the daily operations of the fortress and even the three towns of Tucson. For now, all factories and mining areas have been operating at full capacity, especially the mining area, because they are equipped with enough workers, and their production capacity will double than before. times. The second is the training of the recruits. They have completed the first period of intensive training, and now they are divided into groups in the Sea God Regiment according to the predetermined plan, and they will receive training with the veterans. In another month, they will be able to go to the battlefield.
Of course, these are just the most basic training. In the turbulent era, superb tactics and powerful survival skills can only be truly mastered after going through the tempering of war. What the instructors impart is only basic experience. As for how many of these people can survive in the end, more people are pinning on luck . For recruits, the first battle is the most dangerous. As long as they survive the first battle, the chances of surviving in the future will increase accordingly.
Soon, they will face their first test.
What Zero can do is to give them enough equipment as much as possible to improve their survival rate on the battlefield.
In the end, it was a report from Dr. Ji Ya. At present, she has begun to cultivate the first artificial heart embryo. According to the plan, this embryo will take shape in a week. The reason why the molding cycle is so short is because this embryo is mainly a trial type, which is used to test certain ideas and concepts of the doctor. Whether it succeeds or fails, it can allow Ji Ya to correct her thinking in time.
However, with Lei Ming's organ as a reference, according to Ji Ya's words, the probability of success is relatively higher. And once she succeeds, she can face the second problem, that is, how to make the artificial heart provide the host with eighth-level energy, and at the same time balance the damage of the energy produced by the artificial heart to the lower-level host. In addition to this, of course there are other additional issues.
When all these problems are successfully tackled, there is only the last level left. The issue of ability building, the eighth-level ability users produced through transformation, because it is not a reason for natural advancement, it is impossible for them to form their own abilities. In this way, Ji Ya needs to build certain abilities for them so that they can use them. Judging from the artificial organs obtained from Lei Ming's body, the biologists of the Pope's Hall used a cryptic genetic code to make Lei Ming generate specific abilities.
Ji Yaping can interpret this code and then transplant them into the artificial heart, thereby assigning thunder-like abilities to the host. This is the fastest way to put the artificial heart into use, and based on this code, Ji Ya may be able to build other abilities, but these are all for later. Now, this genetic code has been handed over to a special team to decipher.
However, Ji Ya said that the intellectual level in their hands is too low, and it will take hundreds of years at the earliest to fully understand this code. At present, Ji Ya needs a super intelligent brain, or an intelligent brain pivot array, in order to increase the speed of interpretation.
This was more embarrassing for Zero than Mamelo's request, he could only ask Oran if there were any items for sale in this regard. Adding in the need to expand Ji Ya's biomodulation system, the doctor's investment is at the top of the list.
Suddenly, Zero missed the Central Continent very much. At least on that continent, it's not too difficult to get these things.
When thinking of the Central Continent, Zero's heart moved slightly. A blurry picture flashed in front of my eyes. In that picture, it seemed to be the figure of a young girl. Zero was taken aback for a moment, and the picture had already flashed by. He immediately played back that picture in his mind and made it clear. Finally, a girl with long silver hair appeared in Zero's eyes.
monnie!
Zero didn't know why the image of this girl suddenly popped up in his mind. After Moni and Girutan left, he never heard from them again. But now, Zero thought of her inadvertently. In the picture that appeared in my mind, Mo Ni seemed to be growing up. If we meet now, Zero believes that she is what she is now.
As for why, Zero can't say. It was like a message stuck in my mind, with a sense of what it was. Zero suddenly stood up from the chair, startling Liya who just opened the door and walked in.
"What's wrong?" Lia asked.
Zero shook his head, as if he had grasped something just now. But the complicated thoughts flashed by, the speed was too fast to catch, and only a word was vaguely parsed from the information.
future
What does this mean? Zero is puzzled.
Central Continent.
A deserted city stands alone on the surface of the wilderness, it is already sunset, but the city is not necessarily so quiet. From time to time, a few living corpses wandered the streets, and three or five corpse wolves appeared on the roof of a certain building, squatting or lying on the ground, and a large group of mutated bats the size of puppies flew through the air. cloudy.
The city is very "lively", but there are no human beings.
This city has been deserted for decades, and in the past ten years, not a single human has appeared. The people around here are either dead or turned into living corpses. The rest have all migrated to other places. Just over 80 kilometers away from this deserted city, there is a small town. It was one of the human settlements nearby, and the mutant beasts in the deserted city had attacked there before, but they had to be beaten back.
There was a guard in that small town, and the captain was a sixth-level fire elemental user. The Mutant Beast has suffered from that man. After several trials, he found that the small town was like a bone too hard to chew, so the Mutant Beast learned his lesson.
Occasionally, a few living corpses would be attracted by the fire, but later, they all became exhibits outside the town.
Most of the mutant beasts in the deserted city have already left, but they are looking for new places to feed, or they died on the way of migration. However, some remained, and they hunted and killed other mutant beasts. But this method will only accelerate their death, new life will not come in time, and the original life is rapidly withering. In another ten years, the city will become a truly lonely city.
Inside it, there will no longer be a beast.
However, that is not now.
Now, a corpse wolf lying on the roof suddenly got up and made a sound to his companion. The corpse wolves gathered in the past, and in the eyes of the wolves emitting a gloomy light, a figure in the street downstairs looked very abrupt. The corpse wolves first judged that it was not a living corpse, and living corpses always wandered aimlessly. They always stop and turn here and there, but they don't walk straight ahead like the person below.
It's a human being. After the corpse wolf got this judgment, many beasts drooled from their mouths.
After a while, they left the rooftop.
Five minutes later, they attacked the human. In less than 3 seconds, they turned into Xiu Ya's corpses that had been frozen into ice sculptures.
After clapping their hands, the figure of the first knight flashed and came to the roof of a building. Looking around, in Xiuya's perception, the city will feed back a lot of life information. She sneered, but she didn't know how to raise her voice, but the sound spread far and wide, resounding in every corner of the city: "Mo Ni, I know you are here! Is this the battlefield you chose? Very good, Let's see how my sister catches you this time!"
After a while, a girl's voice sounded: "Sister, what do you want to do?"
The sound flickered from east to west, making it impossible to anchor its position at all.
"After catching you, of course I will rape you first and then kill you!" Xiu Ya said viciously.
Ever since the first encounter in Juan City, the fight between Xiu Ya and Mo Ni has not stopped. The two sides launched a fierce chase in the vast wilderness, and everything seemed to bring them back to the days when they were in the black land.
Moni is good at guerrilla warfare. She led Girutan to sneak to Xiu Ya's resting point, and then assassinated, trapped, and harassed her repeatedly. During this process, Moni almost exhausted all available means. As long as she can use it, she will use it, and she doesn't care what the opponent thinks of her, all for the purpose of killing Xiu Ya. If it wasn't for Xiu Ya who was already familiar with Moni's way of doing things, it would be someone else. Even if it is a high-level person, I don't know how many times he died under Moni's endless tricks.
The way of doing things that is completely opposite to Moni's is Xiu Ya's style. Every time she attacks, she is upright and upright. From the front, he used his almost endless energy and various abilities to pile up the past. Every time Xiuya made the first move, it usually ended with Moni and Girutan running away.
Facing the tenth-rank powerhouse, if Mo Ni and Girutan had nine lives, it would not be enough for her to kill them if they confronted head-on.
All the way west, the two sides have fought more than dozens of times. It has been entangled for thousands of kilometers, and now it is very close to the Julian Mountains. This time, Xiuya discovered Moni's trail ahead of time, and she originally wanted to teach this cunning silver ranger a profound lesson. Unexpectedly, under the counter-tracking, Moni was lured farther and farther, and finally came to this deserted city. From this, Xiuya knew that this was the battlefield chosen by Moni. But she has nothing to fear, Xiu Ya's power is above Moni's, she believes that any tricks of the other party will also fall apart under her own power.
When the gap in power between the two is large enough, no tricks and means can make up for it. Xiuya even started to think about what to do after capturing the girl Moni. As he thought about it, a wicked smile appeared on the face of the first knight.
