Chapter 226: Sacrificial Ground X

New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

In the history books of our time, in the process of studying modern history, people cannot avoid the history of human exploration, conflicts and the signing of a series of treaties after the Stargate Age, and as the founder of the "Suva Treaty", our first advance base in the new world came into being under such history.

The Third War Zone, Unit 40113 of the Xingmen Port Special Reserve Force, Crosswind Harbor -

As the Republic's largest logistics base after the Stargate, the Land of Dragons is also the Bay of the Fleet, a steep floating port built on both sides of the fjord with a glorious tradition and history, and its establishment can be traced back to the moment when the Stargate was opened, because this is where the 'Ξ³' is located after humans enter the Stargate.

That is, the well-known 'Third Star Bridge', from which the name of the war zone comes from.

Although it was later discovered that more inter-star (glow) passages between Earth and Aitaria were discovered, that is, the infiltration theory, this main star bridge is still one of the most important main passages for Earth to enter Aitalia, but now the main forces of humanity have all gone to the Second World, and in addition to the Republic Reserve Fleet that radiates throughout the Cloud Sea, there is also a military Elector Training Camp.

It is a season of change in the sea of clouds, and in the north, intense cyclones are swimming over the southern part of Rainbow Bay, making landfall on Fenris Island to form heavy rainfall and storms.

But a thousand miles away in the Old World of the South, the weather was clear and cloudless, and there was not a single wind to be seen on the sides of the fjord, which was famous for its crosswinds, and between the cliffs hung a few frigates of the sixth class, with only a few idle sailors on them, and their sails hung down and shone brightly in the sun.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and a fat man on the training ground covered his head with a shield, sat on the ground with his ass, and his whole body was like being fished out of the water, only sticking out his tongue, tired like a dog, if you can still recognize his appearance, you must also remember the identity of this person - Luo Hao, he is a little fatter than more than a month ago, and what is frustrating is that it is as if a month of military training has not affected him.

However, the Old World physical fitness test passed, so this person would be sent here, along with the rest of the military trainees, to Crosswind Harbor for a three-month temporary training camp, eliminating about two-thirds of them, and the rest would become the real Draftees.

During the interval of training, the rest time was only five minutes, Luo Hao had learned to seize the time to replenish his physical strength, he took a sip of water, and then squinted a pair of small eyes at the people coming and going from the military in the square.

The shield on his shoulders was a little outrageously heavy, Luo Hao gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, he didn't want to be a shield warrior, what good was the iron guard? With a rough profession, a meat shield in people's eyes, mud legs, and a backdrop that can never be shown, of course he wants to be a combat craftsman - and at the worst of all, a naturalist, a national treasure, rich and beloved, but unfortunately the results of the previous tests have ruthlessly put an end to all his delusions.

Only then did he realize that the 'theoretical knowledge' he was proud of in the community was of little use in the new world, and that crookedly controlling a clockwork goblin had almost killed him, but at most it would only cause the latter to shake around for a while and then bump into something.

Not to mention a naturalist – he has no talent for languages.

Fortunately, the only consolation is that he is getting farther and farther on the road of shield warriors, and he has a lot of momentum out of control, and even the instructors think that he is extremely talented in melee heavy warriors, and the probability of becoming a real Drafter is very high.

It's just that this news doesn't make Luo Hao happy.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the video he saw two months ago, the guy who controlled the clockwork goblin in it, although he was a little jealous and didn't want to admit it, but in his heart he still had to envy the other party's talent more and more.

He took another sip of water.

There were more and more military people coming and going in the square, which made Luo Hao a little strange - he knew that in the season of the approaching storm, the main fleet would go to Ishurian further south to take shelter from the wind, and there were almost only three or two big cats and kittens in the base on weekdays, except for them.

Where did these people come from?

Have an urgent mission?

And at this moment, on the six silver towers on both sides of the cliff in the distance, a magic array suddenly lit up in unison, and slowly rotated above the spireβ€”and then suddenly a beam of light spears rose from the array, and shot in a salvo in a certain direction above the heavenly dome.

When Luo Hao saw this scene, he almost choked out of his nose with a mouthful of water and coughed.

He crawled up from the ground, his mouth wide open, and he looked up in amazement as he watched six dazzling pillars of light plunge into the sky, ending in a rainbow halo that disappeared at the end of the sea of clouds.

"Battle-level magic!?"

Luo Hao's mind exploded, how many years had he not seen the military use this level of magic, what was going on? The Empire has invaded again? Or did humanity and the natives declare war? But either way, there is only one thing in his mind -

Something is wrong!

Luo Hao wanted to turn on the shooting function in the summoner system for the first time, but found that the system had been locked, and he immediately understood what was going on, and the base entered the highest state of combat readiness. He threw away the bottle in his hand and turned around and ran in the direction of the camp, and soon saw one of the trainees in his squad hurriedly waving to him.

"Fatty, quick, here, the training camp has been temporarily canceled!"

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, something seems to have happened to Fenris!"

"Fenris?"

"It's not clear yet, the instructor asked us to go to the teaching area and have a small meeting temporarily."

Luo Hao glanced back at the six pillars of light that pierced the sky.

Involuntarily stopped.

Xingmen Port –

In the emergency command center, one after another reports are gathering from various departments.

"Sidewind Base Class A3 magic is ready-"

"There is no obvious obstacle to the interstellar passage."

"Supplies ready."

"The nearest fleet is touring 1,400 kilometers south of Fenris."

"Between the target and A210214 given coordinates A310221 and the level is minus 120."

Ambassador Liao glanced at the report in his hand, nodded slightly, and then raised his head to look at Fang Yu at the top of the screen and said: "Mr. Char, the materials you requested will arrive within five minutes, the interstellar channel of A3 magic is not necessarily stable, so it is very likely to be lost, and our accuracy can only reach plus or minus one mile above the distance of a thousand kilometers, so in order to ensure that the target arrives, we will send three batches of materials in three teleportations at quarter-hour intervals." ”

He paused, "After that, please find the material teleportation point yourself, but if you fail three times, the next teleportation will wait until three hours after it is recharged." ”

"Finally, if your mission fails, we will attempt to strike your location with Class A2 magic, which is expected to arrive in six hours, after which the fleet will intervene."

Fang Yu nodded slightly, the A3 type spell was the first level of the campaign-level spell, and the military actually activated the campaign-level magic to send them materials, and he couldn't help but clench his fists for a while, creating a feeling that he was participating in history.

As for A2 type spells, he has only heard of the flame of the apocalypse, in the Battle of Byrne, the military once used A2 type magic to annihilate an entire imperial detachment. However, the Empire's revenge after that was also quite tragic, and in that battle, both sides lost their legendary characters.

And this is not the nuclear weapons of the old era, which is the embodiment of a country's industrial capabilities, but in Aitalia, the powerful magic weapon is not only the crystallization of alchemy, but also the battlefield of the legendary side characters, the dragon knight and the sky knight, a real demonstration of the great power of a country.

Fang Yu turned off the communicator and glanced back at the others, and everyone understood what was going on, and the people of Silver Vislan were a little quiet, everyone was waiting for him to give orders.

But the latter stood only in the darkness, the shadow covering most of his face, and the flickering light of the torches reflected only the face under his mask.

Fang Yu didn't say anything inspiring, he just stood there quietly and said, "Everyone, let's have a temporary combat meeting. ”

"Mr. Char, is there no time to talk about this now?" The leading knight finally couldn't help but ask.

"Sharpen the knife and cut the wood," replied Fang Yuan, "before we act, we had better understand what our course of action and purpose are." ”

He glanced at the captured Night Lizard Warrior Captain beside him.

The holographic projections of Hades, Sophie, and KUN were all on the side, and KUN only nodded in agreement.

Fang Yu nodded and said to everyone, "Everyone present should know that our goal is to stop Toragotos' plan to regenerate into a dark god with the help of the body of a god, so how do you think we can stop it?" ”

Dotted ink dyed Qingzhu thought for a moment and replied, "As long as you defeat these night lizardmen, why don't you rush to the obelisk one step ahead of them?" ”

"Now that we've repelled them once, shouldn't we hurry? When their large army surrounds us, we will be in trouble, even if we have military support, we only have such a small number of manpower......"

Fang Yu looked at him and asked rhetorically, "So you think - our opponent is the night lizard?" And the Jeffrey Redcoats behind them? ”

The ink dyed the green bamboo for a while: "Isn't it?" Big guy, you also said that they colluded with the Dragon Worship Sect? ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

He replied, "The military has contacted Geofflet's headquarters, but they claim that this is just a detachment of their operations, and the purpose is only to have nothing to do with the obelisk and the map below, and nothing else, and they don't admit to having an affair with the cultistsβ€”no way, after all, we only have evidence of the Blood Oath." ”

The ink-dyed green bamboo whistled: "Yes, the Jeffrey Reds team is very skilled, and it is clean." ”

Fang Yu didn't speak, he knew that the Jeffrey Redcoats didn't tell the truth, but it wasn't necessarily all prevarication.

And that's where the real trouble comes in -

"So, have you contacted the people below them?" Akane asked.

Fang Yu only glanced at her and shook his head: "This regiment from the Jeffrey Redcoats, the communication channels are all silent at the moment, and they don't respond to any calls-"

"How is that possible?" The ink-dyed green bamboo monster shouted, "What about the blood oath? ”

"The high-level of the Blood Oath can't be contacted for the time being, and the rest of the elite group is all underground, and the ordinary members don't know anything about the things below."

The leading knight was also stunned when he heard this: "Could it be an excuse?" How can there be such a coincidence, isn't our communication not good? ”

Ming smiled: "You are good, but the dead are not necessarily. ”

"Dead people?" The ink dyed the green bamboo seemed to be stuck: "Wait, Sister Ming, you mean that the Jeffrey Redcoats are wiped out?" ”

His voice fell.

It seemed that all of a sudden it occurred to the people that this possibility.

It was like a cold wind blowing, making everyone can't help but keep their mouths shut.

For a moment there was only the swaying light of torches and the sound of hunting, while the other voices were silent, so quiet that they could be heard.

That's an elite regiment, plus a regiment of the Blood Covenant Oath, how could it disappear silently? Although the Jeffrey Redcoats are not one of the top ten guilds, they also have the strength to become one of the top ten guilds, and although there is some difference in their level, it is not far from the same.

What's going on down here?

"I didn't say that," replied Hakuda, "I'm just expressing a possibility." ”

"But there's another possibility," KUN analyzed, "and that's that the Jeffrey Reds aren't telling the truth." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Yu on the side.

Fang Yu didn't speak.

He only held up the crystal in his palm, faced everyone, and said, "Request a video transmission signal." ”

"Understood," the voice of the military personnel in the communication channel said: "Transfer to the intelligence center." ”

After the rustling noise, the channel seemed to change, and someone inside snorted softly.

Only Stygian narrowed his eyes and glanced over there.

A holographic projection fell from the crystal in Fang Yuan's palm and landed in front of everyone, it was the corpse of a night lizard man that had been photographed earlier.

"This is the corpse of a night lizardman, filmed three minutes ago," a cold female voice came from the channel, which was Viurs's analysis voice, "You can take a look at what happened to it in those three minutes." ”

Time began to flow at an accelerated pace, and in a matter of moments, the corpse began to decompose, disintegrating into a cloud of black smoke in the blink of an eye.

And the black smoke seeped into the ground little by little like flowing water, disappearing without a trace.

All those who saw it, including Sophie, couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

And this is the second time Fang Yu has seen this scene, but his heart is still a little shocked, but the voice of the cold beauty of the Elite over there is still the same: "What you are seeing now is the process of devouring and decomposing the life force of the dark power, that is, the starlight, this scene happened three minutes ago, when your battle was just over. ”

"According to the information sent back by Mr. Char, seventy percent of the corpses on the entire battlefield have completely disappeared in this form, which is very different from our normal perception."

"Normally, the corpses left behind by the death of Starlight will remain for a long time until they degrade naturally, and parts that are difficult to digest by microorganisms, such as bone, can sometimes be preserved for tens or hundreds of years."

"Wait a minute, what the hell is this? Why can't I understand you, or is it some kind of evil black magic? The strong man in black, who had been silent on the sidelines, saw this scene and finally couldn't help but ask.

He looked at these 'holographic projections' with suspicion, because the projections of the crystals were made of visible light, so ordinary people could access the information without hindrance.

As for Sylvide, she stood opposite to these men of hers, always by Fang Yuan's side, thoughtful and silent.

Not far away, the lizard-man warrior leader saw this scene, and couldn't help but show a frightened gaze, struggling to let out a sizzling scream, and retreated backwards.

And Fang Yu turned his head sideways, and Tata told him that what the other party said was: "Evil black magic! ”

Fang Yu nodded, taking this guy's reaction to heart.

"It's a pool of blood." Then he replied to the others.

"This is a pool of blood," Tata said in his mind, "Mr. Knight." ”

"The Blood Pool has long been one of the most evil rituals, in which followers of evil gods sacrifice their flesh and soul to some unknown great being in the dark abyss in exchange for the manifestation of the evil god in the world."

"Since it is an arcane that worships magic, this kind of ritual is also absolutely taboo, and there is a religious inquisition in the empire, which imprisons many cult believers who are proficient in this way."

At the same moment, Miss Naturalist of the Elite was introducing this evil spell to everyone with the same calm voice.

After speaking, she glanced at Fang Yu with some surprise, probably not expecting the other party to know this.

How much does this man know?

Is he really a newcomer?

"Pool of blood?" Sophie frowned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her heart: "So the beginning of the twelfth floor is actually not a dead and silent area, but a huge sacrificial field?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

As such, he actually remembered another thing in his heart, that is, the Lonely White Wild had told him that someone had found the Dead Silence Zone below it in the past, but not everyone who had gone deep into the underground of the ruins had encountered such a situation.

The other party even went there in person, but in the end it was nothing.

And as we all know, the dead zone is eternal.

But the sacrificial rites are different.

"I see," the ink-dyed green bamboo also understood, "No wonder that Tuolagotos guy doesn't want us to come down too, it's clear that the silver Vislan is stronger in combat and more in line with its requirements." But if Torragotos' purpose is for everyone to kill each other here, that makes senseβ€”"

"Because Silver Vislan seems to be a little too strong in its opinion, and in the same fifteenth level, we are the existence that is most likely to destroy its plans."

"But you can still come down on your own?" Parker couldn't help but ask.

"Have you forgotten that it trapped us on the seventh floor for a full five hours? If we hadn't happened to come down here through the abyss, I'm afraid that by the time we reached the twelfth floor, the daylilies would have been cold. And don't forget, we've been attacked in the abyss. ”

Parker was stunned.

But there was some silence.

"Cannibalism?" Sophie shook her head, she couldn't help but look at Fang Yu: "Char, what do you think?" ”

"Of course it can't be," Fang Yu shook his head: "The people who came down won't be fools, how could they kill each other on a large scale in the Dead and Silent Zone?" If Torragotos had this idea, it would have been a little too stupid. ”

"But I think maybe it's not that stupid."

He looked at everyone: "So there must be a third force on the battlefield, hidden behind everyone, waiting in the dark for a fatal opportunity for Torragotos's plan to be realized." ”

His words were a little eerie, making everyone look behind them.

But Fang Yu continued: "As we all know, the law of the Black Holy City was established by the hands of the Sinsas snake people, and those great snake people sages completed this place of trials with the help of the power of the sun gods, and from the limited information that was gathered, it can be known that even Torragotos could not break through the law limit of the fifteenth level here, so it has never been able to step back into this place since the moment it left this ruin in its youth. ”

"Therefore, it can only accomplish its plans with the help of mortal powers, and perhaps, as you think, does not rule out the possibility of the Jeffrey Redcoats."

Fang Yu paused.

Then he continued: "But it could also be someone else. ”

"Others?"

It was at this time that the rustling sound was heard again in the communication channel.

The voice of the military personnel came from the channel: "Mr. Char, the results of the investigation you commissioned earlier have been obtained, and we have confirmed that since the second half of last year, there has not been any obelisk in Nosinika, and there are no rumors or rumors about the existence of the obelisk in this area. ”

"Mr. Char, do you have any other questions?"

"No, thank you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Char."

Fang Yu gently closed the crystal in his palm and raised his head to look at everyone.

But he first glanced at the aristocratic lady beside him - since the second half of last year, there had not been a single obelisk in Nosniceca, and there were no rumors or rumors about the existence of the obelisk in the area.

This means that his previous guess was correct.

The Rainhearer's claim that he had brought back a map from Nosnica was nothing more than a cover-up and confusing statement, leading everyone before, including him, to believe that it was a rumor related to the obelisk.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Then there is only one possibility left - what the other party brought back at that time was the body of God.

However, there is a small problem here, Fang Yuan realizes that if Torragotos is not competing with Sylvid for the map on the obelisk, then why would the latter know the identity of the noble lady? He glanced at the other party suspiciously, and Sylvid was so smart that of course she understood what her captain was thinking for the first time.

She smiled and showed him that she had no hidden malice.

Fang Yu sighed, the other party said that all this was related to his father, he believed that Miss Noble was not lying, but what exactly is related, now it seems that there is really a big problem.

However, he wisely did not mention it, the key now was Torragotos, not Sylvede's father, and to rashly mention this was nothing more than to make the other party the target of public criticism. Fang Yu didn't want to shift his focus yet.

What's more, he actually has the answer in his heart.

He held up the communication crystal in his hand before replying, "We can't be sure if the Jeffrey Redcoats are on the side of Torragotos, but the rainlisteners can't escape suspicion, and more importantly, the other parties on this battlefield ......"

"Whether it's the Blood Oath," he said, glancing back at the night lizardmen tied to the ground, "and these night lizardmen, all of them could be our enemies." ”

"But you must understand that if one side is our enemy, the other side will be our potential ally, because the pool of blood will have to drink blood and soulβ€”surely this is a crucial step in Torlagotos' plan," Fang replied, "so if we choose the wrong opponent, we will not only be unable to stop Toragotos, but will become its accomplice." ”

Everyone was silent.

"So how do we identify them?" Tenaric asked in a deep voice, for the first time in a long time, as if it was only then that the lizardman prince from Andasok had truly come to terms with the fact, "Time is running out, my human brother. ”

"That's enough, I think I already have the answer."

Fang Yu replied.

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at him in surprise.

But Fang Yu picked up the communication crystal in his hand and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ambassador, I still need you to help me one last time." ”

In just a few moments, the ambassador's voice came from inside the communication crystal: "Mr. Char, just speak." ”

"Please help me find someone."

"Who?"

"Her name is Alyssa, and she is a member of the elite group of rain listeners, please bring someone with you - the ID is Lonely White Field, whose communication code I have sent to Miss Virus, please go to a temple of Mirera near the Perus Valley on Fenris Island to find this lady."

"I guess she's not going to be too far away."

"But beware of the ambush and keep her safe."
