Section 97 Interlude
readx;? Wago, the Banshee's Gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A human town towers over the earth.
However, even the completely uninformed can still tell at a glance that this is not an ordinary city.
The whole town was surrounded by high walls - it is well known that since the age of cold weapons, the city wall has become a thing of low defensive value. So unless it's a special place, no walls will be built at all. As humanity moved towards the age of firearms, things like walls and walls were not so much fortifications against enemies as they were used to keep out intruders.
This wall makes it clear to all visitors that this is not a town where ordinary people are allowed to come and go at will.
In fact, it is not only this wall that reveals the information. The entire town is surrounded by inhospitable land, and there is no water source for even the most basic conditions of a human settlement. There is no farmland, pasture, mine, or anything like that, and there is not even a single road.
It's winter, and the chill mixed with the wind can already make people feel the breath of this season.
The whole town looked lifeless, and there was no sound to be heard or the breath of living creatures. But to say that this is an abandoned town (there are quite a few such towns in the Banshee's Gate area lately) doesn't look like it, because it's too quiet. Even the birds and beasts seemed to be afraid of something, and avoided the town far away.
A gust of wind swept through the dust and fallen leaves, making the seemingly completely lifeless city even more lonely.
At this moment, at the gate of the town, a car is parked.
It's a red, delicate car, and it's a bit reluctant to call it a "car" because there are no wheels underneath the metal body. That's right, this car, to put it bluntly, is a body with a metal square frame as a whole, suspended in a low altitude. Between it and the ground, there is no point of support. However, except for the underbody, it has the exact same shape as a normal four-wheeler.
The shell of the car is delicately painted, every seam of the body is perfectly and tightly integrated, and every subtle part of the body, every twist or edge, embodies an aesthetic that is deeply implanted in the human heart, designed and built. It's not so much a utility as a luxury.
However, the owner of the car was no longer on the car at this time, but was standing at the gate.
The so-called "gate" actually does not have a real door that can be opened and closed, only a guard post. From the layout, it can be seen that this is a double guard gate that combines automation and human sentry, but at the moment the original guardhouse is empty, only the camera in front of the gate is silently and mechanically looking directly in front of the gate. A crossbar that can only prevent the gentleman and not the villain is horizontal in front of the road.
"I know you're in there, Kecha Goat...... Old friends are here, aren't they welcome at all?"
It was a black figure who shouted.
The figure is more than two and a half meters tall, maybe even three meters, and the width of the shoulders is more than one meter five, and that kind of black is different from ordinary black, and it is repeatedly devouring light. Only by gazing for a long time can you perceive the luster of the almost invisible metal.
This is an exoskeleton armor, but it has one thing that is completely different from normal exoskeleton armor, and that is that its arms are split into two parts.
That's right, the arm of this exoskeleton armor is broken at the elbow part, and the elbow joint originally associated with the upper arm and the lower arm does not exist, or it can be described as such, the middle of the lower end of the upper arm is a metal ball suspended in the air, and the lower end of the ball is the lower arm. It was as if an unseen force had taken the place of the entity, connecting the upper arm, the metal orb, and the lower arm, and allowing them to move like normal joints.
No, not just the elbow, but if you look closely, you will find that the other parts, such as the shoulder, knee, etc., are almost the same. It's just that these joints are covered with armor, so they are not as conspicuous as the elbow joints.
Silently, the crossbar opened.
The exoskeleton armor strides forward, and its movements are indistinguishable from those of a normal human. He walked all the way and found a small square behind the gate. In the middle of the square, in the direction of the visitor, stands a medium-sized sculpture.
It wasn't a fine sculpture, it was rough and rudimentary. The whole of the sculpture is a circle, surrounded by countless lines and corners that represent light.
Anyone can see that the statue symbolizes the sun - in this respect, Wago is no different from the earth.
Directly in front of the statue, there was a chilling aura. It seems that many people have died here, and the lamentations and wails before death still linger today.
"Tsk, this guy Kecha Goat, have you changed all the buildings here?" said the exoskeleton to the front of the sculpture. "Can you hear me?"
The will of the underworld descended, and a spiritual force came into contact with him, and he did not resist this weak and harmless force. A voice came to his head.
"It's all come to this, what are you doing here?"
"It's nothing, just come and see it as an old friend. Exoskeleton Armor said. "Why, I'm not welcome as a high-ranking warlock?"
"High Warlock, old friend, hum......" Kecha Goatt scoffed.
Well, at least you always remember that we were very close partners. Exoskeleton Armor said. "Look what a hazard you've done now?Imagine how your plan to attack the Banshee's Gate (though it was just your deception) could have been allowed if it weren't for my help? If it weren't for the friendship of the past, I'm afraid it wouldn't be me, but a whole legion of warlocks. Honestly, how did this place become such a ghostly place? I think this should be a complete experimental center...... right."
"Complete, indeed...... A well-defended cage that wants to hold me in. Kecha Koyat replied in an unceremonious tone. "But how can a mortal be trapped by a god?"
"Uh...... What about the people inside?"
"Right in front of you. ”
"In front of me?"
"Right here, right in front of you. Here is my altar, and I have my messengers sacrifice them all to me as sacrifices. A sin against a god can only be paid with life. ”
"Haha, God or something...... Well, let's not argue about these topics, anyway, these unpleasant things are over, let's talk about the future. ”
"You're here to be a lobbyist? Okay, then let me hear what Stygian has to offer. Although Kecha Goat did not have an actual form, when he said this, it reminded people of a cold and mocking face.
"Truth be told, Kecha Goat, you've done far more than anyone could have imagined...... You know you don't know how much of a shock you're doing. The more than a dozen floating fortresses of the Huiyue camp in the Banshee's Gate area all fell in a short period of time, which is simply ...... It completely overturns the usual concept. This record is enough to convince anyone. In fact, you've conquered the entire Banshee Gate - it's only a matter of time. We have treated you wrong in the past, and we are wrong. But for now, please give us a chance to make amends, and please return to our camp again. I pledge that the inappropriate practices of the past will never happen again. This time, you will be our ally......"
"Or mercenaries?" Caycha Goat interrupted the other party directly. "And, to erase what happened in the past, to the insults and contempt that I have received over the years? hahahaha...... You observe and humiliate me like a laboratory animal, and then turn around and easily say, 'All the unpleasant things are over,' and you can offset it? Who do you think I am? I am Kecha Goat, the Supreme Lord!"
"Come on, what supreme lord...... You're nothing more than a spiritual being......"
Several figures appeared around him, making the warlock hiding in the armor of the exoskeleton frown. There was no sign of humanity other than walking on two feet, and they resembled more locusts, covered in locusts and shiny armor. In their hands were scythe-like weapons, and the blades flashed with a dangerous light, and even the warlocks felt an instinctive shudder.
"Well, I apologize," the scene let him know that Kecha Goat was angry, but he wasn't afraid, he was a warlock after all. "But anyway, Kecha Goat, let's face it. ”
"What reality?"
"Reality is ...... You don't have much power left. That's right, we underestimated you, and we didn't expect you to develop so many bizarre abilities and hide them. But the reality is, how many men do you have? Based on the fact that you have about 300,000 test subjects," Exoskeleton Armor said. "About 50,000 of them died in the experiment, and of the remaining 250,000, at least 220,000 or more are what you call 'defeated products', and these test products, including the failed ones, have already died in the previous raids, with the Huiyue camp, and in our battles. The remaining quantity, the 'winning product' that you are trying to keep, and perhaps the failed product, is not more than 10,000. That's all you have left, right? After deducting some other losses, maybe only a few thousand. ”
"Hmph...... Let's just think you're right. ”
"But don't deny it," the other party's reaction was expected by the exoskeleton armor, "We have complete records of all of this, and these records are backed up and stored in different places, which can be compared with each other, and it is impossible to tamper with them." ”
"I really didn't know you still had so much data......"
"So, now you are only superficially powerful. Let's be honest, with the current strength of less than 10,000 troops under your command, it is completely impossible to fight against the Warlock Legion. I'll admit that your abilities are perfect for commanding a large army, and you may be able to get the most out of all the power at your disposal. But remember, we have gathered a hundred times more troops in and around the Banshee Gate. ”
"Those of yours? haha, I've destroyed two of your floating fortresses in the past three months. What can those weak troops do?"
"You do have a surprise advantage, but it's not eternal. Exoskeleton armor replied. "And, unlike the Radiant Moon Warlocks, who don't know anything about it, we have already prepared enough warlock legions in the vicinity to be ready to go into battle. The new Floating Fortress will also be retrofitted in a few years, so you won't be able to use that trick anymore. Tell me, then, do you think you can deal with our army with a mere 10,000 troops?"
Then Kecha Goat's men rushed forward.
