Amber's first impression of the wasteland is that it is "exotic".

The pale gray sky tumbled overhead like some viscous liquid, almost visible waves of magic flowing between the thick clouds, and the chaotic winds swept irregularly across the barren and twisted earth, which was covered in some purple-black "substance" that seemed to be a mixture of volcanic eruption melt and sludge, like the rotten sores of this world, extending to the end of sight, to the interior of the magnificent energy barrier in the distance.

She had never seen anything like it anywhere.

She finally understood what Gawain meant by "The Wasteland is beyond the borders of the civilized world."

The Black Forest may be corrupted and twisted, but at least the trees are still trees, monsters are still monsters, no matter how gloomy the sky is, the sky that can be seen between the clouds is still clear, and here, at the end of the Black Forest, at the foot of the magnificent wall, the whole world is different from what she knew.

She even felt that even the shadow power here had become unfamiliar.

"According to the Kraken, the Demon Tide is the process of 'shuffling' the world, and the Demon Tide seven hundred years ago was just an incomplete outbreak, equivalent to a kind of 'prelude' to the shuffle......" Gawain watched the wasteland stretch in front of him, and suddenly thought of what Tyr had told him, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, "So the changes here...... In fact, it can be seen as a harbinger of some kind of 'new world'. ”

Amber looked at Gawain with a horrified expression: "You said such a...... Is that what the 'New World' looks like after the real Demon Tide erupts? ”

Gawain nodded slightly: "It should be about the same." ”

“…… The new world is terrifying," Amber stuck out her tongue, "what kind of life must be able to survive in this 'new world'......"

"Terrible is only relative to our aesthetics," Gawain glanced at Amber, "perhaps in the eyes of life in the new world, this twisted and corrupted land is a paradise of birds and flowers, and the blue sky, white clouds, green waters, and green mountains that we are familiar with...... In their eyes, I am afraid that it is no different from purgatory. ”

Sonia came to Gawain and Amber, and when she heard their conversation, she couldn't help but say, "Seven hundred years of sleep have made you more emotional than before. ”

Gawain said casually: "After all, there is nothing else to do when sleeping in a coffin." ”

"If you have a chance, introduce us to the Siren Lady, we elves have always been interested in the ancient knowledge that the Siren knows."

"I will, when she wakes up next time," Gawain nodded, then looked around, "and now...... Let's build one last forward base here. ”

It was still a short distance from the Sentinel Tower, which needed to be built, and although it was not far away, the Corrupt Plains were full of dangers, and in order to ensure the safety of the frontline personnel and to secure the road through the Black Forest, Gawain ordered the establishment of a final forward base on the southern border of the Black Forest.

Counting Base 1 in the northern Black Forest and Base 2 in the depths of the Black Forest, this is the third.

Vehicles loaded with vital supplies drove out of the forest area and formed a loose circle around the open field at the edge of the forest, while the multi-purpose vehicles docked smoothly and accurately in the gaps between the large transports, filling the gaps in the loose rings.

The convoy's steel cladding and body thus formed a temporary protective barrier, and the artillery towed by the tractor chassis was placed inside the barrier, which became the base's initial self-defense firepower.

After the initial protection was established, the Pathfinders and the Convoy began to unload supplies and set up bases.

The cornerstone of Cecil's magic industry is the magic net, so the magic net must also be laid in the first step.

The pre-fabricated Magic Net Unit Group was moved from the first two trucks, which were large metal plates more than two meters long and wide, on which a large number of Magic Net Units had been pre-assembled. These units are attached to prefabricated snaps on the edges of the multi-purpose vehicle's chassis and connected to the vehicle's own power ridge, eventually forming a large area of continuous magic net on the inside of the protective barrier with these vehicles as nodes, and as more and more magic net units are connected to each other, these versatile vehicles begin to take on a new role - becoming a magic obelisk.

"The external energy of the No. 1 vehicle has reached a threshold - crystal power on!" "The external energy of the second vehicle has reached the threshold - crystal power on!" "Tank No. 3 ......"

With the loud reports of the mechanical soldiers, the crystals on the tops of the chariots set up in various places of the forward base brightened one after another, and the abundant magic power was rapidly unfolded with the activation of the magic net energy field, covering the entire open field in an instant.

Gawain casually picked up a magic guide terminal, and saw that the rune representing the charge on its side had been lit up, and nodded slightly.

These lightweight, "multi-purpose vehicles" were designed after the Warhammer I main vehicle was finalized, and they were not too technical, but they were designed specifically for the mission - and they will certainly come in handy for the foreseeable future.

The edge of the wasteland, the harsh environment, and all kinds of uncontrollable factors will always threaten the safety of the people in front of them, and how to deal with these threats is a problem that Gawain must consider - Warhammer I is powerful, survivable, and can cope with most of the challenges in the wasteland on its own, but it cannot solve the wasteland survival problem of the entire construction team, and in order to solve this problem, the designers of the Machine Building Institute and the Magic Technology Research Institute designed this light multi-purpose vehicle based on the framework of Warhammer I.

It was named by Gawain - Iron Ambassador.

When the Iron Ambassador was born, it was positioned as a powerful support platform rather than an attacker. In order to allow teams far from the stable rear and in the wasteland (or front line) to gain a quick foothold, the Iron Ambassador has set up a larger magic net unit and a larger load power ridge inside, and fixed a magic energy crystal on the top of the vehicle, the core component of the magic web obelisk, which is combined with the steel ambassador's specially designed "turret" to form a complete magic obelisk.

On the front line away from the rear, the Iron Ambassador's Magical Obelisk provides vital energy coverage for the position, ensuring that the position's facilities can be up and running as quickly as possible, while its powerful power ridge also allows it to support a more powerful shield system and switch between two shield modes - when its own survival is a priority, use the "Standing Mode" with strong defense but only the projection range to protect the vehicle itself, and activate the matching Ultra Rune to enter the "Peace Messenger" mode when you need to protect your allies. In this mode, its shield projection range can be extended to tens of meters around, and although the shield protection will be greatly reduced, it can protect a large area, thus showing strong battlefield support capabilities.

In addition to providing energy and shield replenishment, the Iron Ambassador's magic energy crystal can also act as a relay point for the magic network communication, although its power is much smaller than the fixed relay tower, but it is enough to ensure communication on the battlefield, just as the new magic guide battleship "Trailblazer" can provide communication coverage for the entire fleet, and the Iron Ambassador can also ensure that a land force will not lose contact with friendly forces when fighting on the front line.

In addition to these fixed functions, as a vehicle positioned as a "multi-functional support", the Iron Ambassador has also reserved the ability to expand modules in advance, and its chassis is surrounded by card slots and rune chains, which are directly connected to the power spine of the vehicle, which can be connected to the external magic net unit to increase energy output, and can also be used to directly provide fast charging for heavy units such as the White Knight......

Of course, these convenient features did not come without a cost, in order to install the large crystal, and in order to support the energy-intensive special shield system, these vehicles modified from Warhammer I directly removed the main gun, leaving only a few thermal ray guns and a single grenade launcher at the front of the vehicle as self-defense firepower, and its crew was also changed from six to three, freeing up space for additional magic net units and overly large power ridges, these changes made the vehicle almost incapable of attacking - But Gawain knew that on a complex battlefield, a multi-purpose vehicle with excellent auxiliary capabilities could do much more than a main gun.

This is especially true in this wasteland.

On the open ground where the forward base is located, above the "wall" composed of large transport vehicles and multi-purpose combat vehicles, the soldiers have formed a temporary defense line using the carriages as cover, and inside the wall, the pioneers are unloading the prefabricated tents and improvised board houses from the subsequent large trucks and hurrying to set up camp, and the "Iron Ambassadors" located at each node of the wall have lit up the magic energy crystals on the roofs of their respective vehicles, and at the same time as the crystals are lit, a layer of shimmering shields has also been closed around the outside of the convoy.

"Magic Technique...... Sonia couldn't help but sigh softly as she watched the camp's defense mechanism build up little by little, "At first, I thought it was just some kind of transformation and ...... of Gondor's magic technology Restructuring, but now it seems that it is taking a completely different path. ”

"The fall of the Gondor Empire has taught us a lesson - no matter how advanced the technology is, as long as it is confined to a small number of elite individuals, confined to a small area and cannot be popularized, then it will inevitably lack reliability and disaster resistance, and it is destined to be difficult to break through its own development bottleneck," Gawain smiled, "Of course, one of the reasons for getting out of the path of magic technology is also forced by the situation - after all, we don't have a deep blue magic well. ”

"Deep Blue Mana Well...... Sonia whispered, looking at the Iron Ambassadors who were spreading their shields and unleashing their magical energy, her eyes falling on the crystals on top of those chariots, "Perhaps...... These things are worth as much as another navy ......."

This is undoubtedly a high evaluation.

And the fact that an elf from the Silver Empire who had witnessed the glorious era of Gondor said it added an unusual meaning.

Gawain just nodded slightly, and then he raised his head and looked at the majestic tower that stood tall in the sky.

The huge Sentinel Tower stands on the border of the former human empire, as if the hexagonal monument-shaped tower is hundreds of meters high, and relies on a powerful anti-gravity device to float above the pedestal made of special alloys and rune stones like a small mountain, countless complex runes and energy light streams flicker and flow everywhere in the tower and the pedestal, and powerful magical energy is projected into the air driven by these runes, generating an energy barrier of up to kilometers at the edge of the wasteland.

"The splendor of the ancient empire, ......"

Rosetta Augustus withdrew her gaze to the top of the tower and sighed softly.

Behind him, a busy construction site is underway, a large number of low-level mages from the Royal Mage Guild are using the Plastic Hand and various shaping and summoning spells to build the walls of the camp, huge stone walls are growing from the polluted and corrupted land at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the giant coat of arms of the Typhon Empire has risen to the top of the flagpole, and the golden red banner flutters in the winds of the wasteland.

A sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, and a heroic gray-haired female knight came to Emperor Typhon, and Rosetta Augustus raised her head and nodded to the gifted "little wolf" from the Wendell family, with an almost imperceptible smile on her usually gloomy and stiff face: "It seems that there is news." ”

Andesa Wendell turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Eagle Eye Sentinel has confirmed that a team has appeared on the edge of the Black Forest in the northwest direction, and the team is hung with the Cecil family insignia. ”

"As we expected, the Ansu East Border and the royal family are fighting, and in the end, they can only let their ancestor who came out of the grave come forward," Rosetta nodded, then turned her gaze to the northwest to look at the hazy shadow of another tower in the distance, "It's really close......

(I'm sure many people already know that...... The little eyeball has been born, and the mother and child are safe =. = And this is my last chapter, so I wish me peace in the update...... ）
