Chapter Seventy-One: Arriving at the Dusk Zone
ยท
I chose the Shadow Warlock, after all, it's his hometown, so there's nothing to hesitate about.
Unexpectedly, he politely refused.
"My lord, give up the only spot to someone else, and I can return to my hometown with my own spells. Although it was a random exile of gambling fate, I was free to go back and forth between two points, solo spells. โ
"Isn't it so convenient to say it sooner?"
The Shadow Warlock smiled bitterly, "It's very inconvenient. It takes a lot of magic energy, and I'm in the Night Clan territory, and I'm still a long way from the Twilight Cult where you're going. I'm afraid it will take some time to meet up with the adults. โ
That's only half a person.
I couldn't help it, I looked at the others and chose the moon puppet. In this case, it's pretty much the same, but you have to consider the matching. Anyway, Moon Puppet Yu, Shirai Hui and F91 are already in the Crystal Palace lineup, and there are three women who can be easily solved in any situation.
Probably......
"By the way, take this." Yuan Qiyuan handed me half a piece of jade ornament, "I have a good brother in the day and night world, he is very strong, if you accidentally make an enemy of him, it will be troublesome." When he sees this, he will know that you are my friend and will be his friend. His name is Bai Luyi, one of the three kings of the Sun Clan. โ
I was a little surprised.
After receiving half of the jade given to me by Yuan Qiyuan, the emotion in my heart arose. Good man......
Good gay!
Exchanging jade pendants with men is such a thing as a dry and rotten relationship, does your wife know?
The Night Messenger reminds me that I am now the twin directors of the Universe Expansion Bureau and the Pollution Control Bureau, and if I leave, it will be difficult for the Imperial Institutions to function as usual.
Let Lanhai concurrently serve as the deputy director of the Yukuo Bureau. Now that the pollution is gone, the people's will is rising, what kind of pollution control bureau do you want?
We walked towards the small spaceship.
It's simply a luxury hovercar with wings! The wings of a stealth fighter are flat and spread out. Three aircraft pulleys rested on the ground. The whole body is silver-plated and shining, and there is a half-meter-diameter main gun barrel in the bow that looks mighty, and the windshield with wipers in front immediately loses its temperament, especially since there is a transparent skylight on the roof! Is it used to fire human cannons?
The driver's name was Robert Lee, and he explained that the sunroof design was a must. Once, they caught a small monster in the Super Strategy Bureau, and on the way back, they broke free from the cage and tossed around in the boat. Smack, as soon as the skylight is opened, it is sucked out of space.
I nodded.
Enter the hatch.
The first thing you do when you sit down is to fasten your seatbelt.
It's pretty wide inside, and even though there's only four driver's seats, I think I can squeeze in three or four people, standing on my stomach and hugging each other.
But my suggestion that I wanted to squeeze one more person was harshly dismissed, and Robert Lee said that it was dangerous not to wear a seatbelt.
As the roaring spacecraft lifted vertically into the air, adjusting the bow diagonally upwards, a sudden acceleration hit me violently, and I felt my internal organs pressed tightly against the back of my chair, and I could hardly breathe. It's really fast!
After breaking through the violent shaking of the atmosphere, I saw the brilliant universe, and the garbage ring of the terrible scenery surrounded the planet behind him like a planetary ring, dense and chaotic. Most of them are man-made metal objects, which Robert Lee explains are traces of the war between humans and robots. At that time, human science and technology were very advanced, and there were many artificial satellites in satellite orbits, but they were easily invaded by the "mastermind" - collisions and self-explosions were good, some were directly used for their own purposes, posing a serious threat to the survival of mankind, and some were useless and simply fell and smashed into human settlements.
"What's that, like a bridge?"
I pointed to a man-made object hidden by the space junk, in the shape of a long strip, orbiting the satellite and rotating with the trash. It's like a rectangular corridor for giants.
"The Planetary Rainbow Bridge was not completed hundreds of years ago, and then it was affected by the war, and the site was permanently suspended." Robert Li sighed, "It was originally an inspiring and great project, an astronomical investment, manpower and material resources, with the aim of building a man-made structure in the shape of a ring. It can be used as a permanent replacement for sporadic satellites, and can be moved. At present, only a few staff members of the Research Bureau are still engaged in medical research in weightlessness. You also know that in a gravity-free environment, medical technology is prone to new breakthroughs. โ
He pointed to a slender straight line perpendicular to the planetary rainbow bridge and the planet's ground in the distance and said: "That broken line is the connecting building between the ground and the planetary rainbow bridge, which was originally a man-made miracle that went straight to the sky, but now it ......."
Now it's no different from garbage, except that it's shorter than a pig's tail, sticking out from under the rainbow bridge for a short time, floating around.
The population of this world was originally explosive, so there was a space expansion bureau, which is actively engaged in the plan to colonize nearby planets, and the planetary Hongqiao is also one of them. But all of them died, and none of the projects were completed before they were subjected to robot warfare, and the population plummeted to less than one percent. No one is pinning their hopes on the Scientific Research Bureau now, so the so-called Scientific Research Bureau is nothing more than a small military station for the Super Strategy Bureau to go to other worlds, as well as elite strike forces, and its power is much less than before. Due to its sparse population, the Home Affairs Bureau is also of little use. The living environment is harsh, and people are vaguely uneasy about the life in front of them, so they have no spare energy to vigorously develop any scientific research bureau. It's only the constant presence of otherworldly creatures and inhabitants that thrive the Superstrategy and go out to plunder resources โ just like pirates! Needless to say, the Bureau of Pollution is responsible for all the pollution threats in the Empire, they are well-funded, and as unstable rebellions increase, secret arrests, the Bureau's side business, are a big deal. Of the five bureaus, only the Super Strategy Bureau and the Pollution Control Bureau are particularly fierce.
Speaking of which, Robert Li, who was wearing a black super-strategy uniform, looked very proud.
According to him, in addition to the Royal Stealth Soldiers, the regular troops of the Super Strategy Bureau are of the highest quality, especially the elite special forces of the Super Strategy Bureau even outperform the Royal Stealth Soldiers.
Really?
Just those special forces who were completely wiped out by me installing a few trap mines with a golden finger? I couldn't help but laugh.
Soon we flew in front of a giant man-made metal ring.
The spacecraft fired a shot at the center of the ring.
A blinding cloud of light shone into the center of the ring, activating a gorgeous, multicolored vortex.
That's a wormhole that leads to the other world.
"The appearance of the Light King 10,000 years ago made us realize that there are other worlds, and it is only then that aerospace technology has begun to turn to otherworldly travel!"
Should I thank him?
We rushed straight in. There was a violent tremor, and the scenery outside the window was distorted and blurred. After a long flight of about ten seconds, we got out of the wormhole tunnel. It's still in space, but the planet in front of you is different from before.
When I came, the planet itself was grayish-yellow as if it were dead, only the Empire could still see the stars and lights from space, and the rest of the area was yellow, gray, and black, no green, no blue, a bit like a cat spitting out a hairball.
The planet in front of us seems to be bigger, with a lot of blue seas, similar to the Earth that we often see on TV, but the shape of the continents is a bit close to an hourglass.
We emerged from the same man-made metal ring and landed in the center of the hourglass, the Australia that had an extra piece in the middle of the North and South continents.
Hope to see kangaroos.
Break through the atmosphere.
The place where we landed was exactly on the day and night line. Huge and wide islands, with the terrain connecting the continents on both sides like a natural bridge. There's a lot of green, but there's no big forest, it's just evenly spaced. Two large rivers cross the continent, one that seems to come from a mountain peak, and the other that connects to the left and right of the ocean.
Closer I understand why there are no more forests.
As far as the eye can see!
Buildings as far as the eye can see! Not only on the riverside and plains, but also on the hillside, it is almost as if bacteria are multiplying everywhere! Roofs, roofs, roofs, except for roofs and roofs, all kinds of roofs, even a courtyard is rare!
"Their population is even denser than before our war, because there is a resurrection spell, which is not a good thing!" Robert pointed out the window and said, "The planet's rotation and revolution are subtly aligned, so that the left hemisphere is full of night, and the right hemisphere is forever day." We were about to land in the Twilight Zone, and although I didn't understand the difference between dawn and dusk, that's what the locals called it. This is the only place where we can land peacefully, and neither the NightClan nor the DayClan welcome the Otherworldly. โ
Is it?
I found the meaning of Robert Force's existence as a tour guide.
We landed straight on the only circular platform we could see. According to the tour guide, it was a port of berthing that the Super Strategy Bureau had worked hard to buy, and it was not easy for the locals to get it because they were expensive and deceived outsiders.
Seeing that it was about to land, it was only about 100 meters above the ground, and suddenly the spacecraft was attacked!
We're on our backs.
"Who's attacking!"
"Under the crown, it is the light mage of the Sun Clan! Their optical attacks are comparable to the power of our cannons! But don't worry, we've got a shield! โ
Ten seconds later.
The shield was punctured.
We crashed.
Fortunately, there is a skylight, so it turns out that the spaceship has its own skylight, is it really useful! We jumped into the air along the skylight. F91 slowly landed down with me in his arms, while Moon Puppet Fool hugged Robert Force, shot a tightrope from his bracer and stuck it into the swing of the building.
The spaceship crashed into the roof next to the harbor. The good news is that the spaceship is much harder than the roof, and it is not a big deal, just smashed directly from three floors to the first floor. The bad news is that one of the wings of the spaceship is now a centimeter in front of my feet, and the hull is a few dozen meters away from me.
Awesome. How do you get back now?
And why is it so lively?
Fight?
The head of Shirai Hui in his arms suddenly began to shake vigorously, probably in a hurry to speak, I turned on the volume switch.
"Your Majesty! It's a day and night war! Shirai shouted, "Please go straight for 300 meters and turn left!" โ
Oh.
The buildings here are basically all made of stone, and there are few bungalows and no high-rises, most of them are as tall as three or five storeys, and if I had a phobia of density, I would have died here! Even though Shirai told me to go straight, there was no road at all! The alley between the rooms can pass three people side by side, and they must also be thin. Clotheslines and plank bridges hung haphazardly between the houses, and various wooden baskets and boxes were piled up between the passages.
The sounds of fighting, shouting, and sword clashing came and went not far away, sounding like a cold-weapon force of nearly a thousand people fighting in the streets with shields and swords. No gunshots, no explosions, but some weird sound effects, whooshing, whooshing...... Magic? The game's sound designer can take the blame and resign.
Under the guidance of Shirai, we ran down an alley, and the panicked crowd made me feel like I was in the middle of a frightened herd of cattle running wild. The men here are all tall, just grab one at about 180, and occasionally pop out two meters of big men, and the women are also quite strong like Shirai Hui, she doesn't seem to be tall in her hometown.
The moon puppet foolishly swung the tightrope to open the way, and the monkey that seemed nimble between the narrow gaps of the building repeatedly bounced and swayed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I saw Spider-Man, the female version.
After a corner, a dozen soldiers suddenly appeared in front of us.
They were also stunned.
Typical game costumes, white heavy armor, shields, and swords. There were also four white-robed female mages behind her. It's just that the armor of those knights is the same as Shirai's, and it is made of stone. There is no metallurgical technology here? But the sword is metal.
Well, it's really bold when you look closer. Everyone, including the female mages, was murderous, already burly, but now they looked even taller.
Suddenly, a slender trajectory from diagonally above pierced the head of one knight and the heart of another.
Almost instantaneous, one of the knights next to him immediately reached out to cover his companion's wound. Half a second later, the two were fine and healed!
"Kill!"
With a roar, they pounced like tigers, and the mage behind them raised his hand to shoot back with a beam of light at the moon puppet fool above.
I work as a security guard, and it's common for me to get into fights or something. Just by the momentum, you can know that the big men who are more than two meters higher in front of them have been tempered by hundreds of battles, and their killing intent is amazing, and there are no recruits. I can't beat it, if I don't cheat.
Robert picked up his rifle and fired, but neither the electric energy attack nor the regular bullets could injure them, the former was insulated by thick stone armor, the latter could not penetrate the armor, and the occasional shot hit the joint and other gaps in the armor were ignored by them. Either healed on its own or healed by a teammate.
The Moon Puppet had switched to an energy pistol to return fire, and Flying Danced between the buildings to fight the mages, knocking out an enemy in the blink of an eye, still in an advantageous position.
The F91 is a bit of an exaggeration, and I can't even see what it's doing.
There are many people on the other side, and the swords are stabbing like a torrential rain.
F91 first used the ghost body mode to pass through the first sword, around the front enemy's side, and then smashed the second enemy in the mouth with his shield, when the third enemy saw that its whole body turned black, he immediately wrapped white light around the sword, slashed, but stabbed F91's spirit body - all the white light was absorbed, and the sword body was like a quagmire. F91 turned and threw the man with his sword into the air, smashing the fourth enemy and then slashing the fifth enemy deep into the ground from top to bottom.
The knights went crazy and shielded, slashed, stabbed, and even punched, kicked, and thrashed the F91, either as if it were air, or as if it had hit the soft mud and was deep in it. It was at ease in front of nearly ten knights on its own.
Invincibility?
A female mage came to the aid and fired a beam at F91. They had been shooting upwards before, and I hadn't felt it yet, but now that they were heading here, I felt a subtle heat coming over me.
Hit the F91, but it still didn't work. It switched to Mechanical Construct Mode, and the pure metal surface bounced off the light damage, bursting into an exaggerated halo.
Like an explosion, the surrounding knights all snorted and fell to the ground. Even I felt the heat pounding.
But F91 was still unharmed, standing quietly in place, looking at the mages without joy or anger.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, and every enemy soldier felt the shock. They don't understand what kind of existence the woman in front of them is. But after only two or three seconds of hesitation, they went forward again, healed each other, fought back, and some new spells appeared.
F91's sword slashed at the opponent's body, but the opponent resisted it with the holy light around him.
The female mage's figure began to split into several, distorted apparitions of varying heights.
There is also a mage who is constantly supporting the knights with spells, causing them to teleport short distances, flying and attacking F91 in vain from all directions.
The F91 is still invincible. The three modes seem to be able to switch automatically, and there is never a single mistake, and in a hurry, the left half of the body is a white spirit body, and the right half of the body is a black ghost body.
Where's my role?
Not only me, but Robert next to me slowed down his attack, as if he felt a little too reluctant not to shoot, and he would OT if he shot too often.
I held Shirai Hui in one hand, and silently pulled out the "Human Poisoner" pistol in the other, and turned on the invisibility.
Take a walk past.
Just as she raised her pistol and was about to plunge a knife into the knight's neck, a female mage suddenly shouted, "Be careful, stealth!" โ
Languages?
The knight turned around with a slash, and I ducked it and stuck it in his neck.
Don't worry about this kind of trivial matter, which game doesn't have an automatic translation function now?
Seeing him fall down with poison all over my body, I raised my gun to aim at the gap in his armor, but before I could shoot, I was interrupted by an attack from the side. The sword was so sharp that I could barely dodge.
Shoot like this, but the heavy armor is so tightly wrapped that the poison needle can't get into the gap in the end.
Someone treated him, and he got up again.
I suddenly understood a fact! These turtle shell hoplites bring their own high-speed self-healing and their companions add blood to each other, how far am I going to fight with them? It's too bloody!
The F91 cut down a few, but quickly got up again. Moon Puppet Fool defeated a few and got back on his feet, and the beam attacks became more and more complex and gorgeous.
I pulled out the Howling Snake.
Silently dodge and shoot at the same time.
After three shots, one of the knights fell and did not move. Despite being treated by his teammates after each shot, he was shot through the heart by the last shot. This treatment didn't work, and he died.
The enemy looked very surprised. They can't understand how to kill with one shot, just such a small bullet, and the healing spell is also very timely, how can they die?
This time the surprise was shorter, they were really very well trained, one of them dragged the corpse of his companion and quickly retreated, the others held a shield to surround me, and the close combat did not give me a chance to snipe at all, I couldn't even level the Howling Snake, it turned into a club. F91 was simply abandoned, leaving two people to drag it down. I'm OT, right?
The female mage casts a spell into the sky, releasing beams of light such as signal fireworks.
In less than ten seconds, more than a dozen enemy troops came to support!
Isn't that a joke!
This group of souls is so thick that they can't kill at all, melee can spell, mages are repeatedly immortal, and now reinforcements are coming, I'm going to be entangled here!
I need to force a reversal!
A, use the Scepter of Brilliance
B, Use the Bomb Hive
Z, which uses the "Eight of the Week" ability
