Chapter 0227: Demacia and Project Noxus (4)
At the base on the planet's ground, Colonel Doug, the commander-in-chief on the ground, watched Captain Leona's armored transport ship rise into the air and began to return to the Hope, and after only seeing the trajectory of a ship's tail flame in the sky, she herself returned to her command center under the pick-up and drop-off of a fully enclosed ground armored transport vehicle in the base.
Although the scale of this ground base has become larger and larger, and the number of various buildings is increasing day by day, in fact, in the open space between the various buildings of the base, except for the busy SCV engineers and marines, there are few other internal staff or staff members.
This is actually because: the ground base of human beings is not a closed base, except for the safe environment inside the building, when walking outside the building, walking in those places where there is no fully enclosed passage, you must wear troublesome protective clothing, or you need to be picked up by an enclosed armored vehicle to go back and forth between the buildings.
Otherwise, those strong acids and poisonous vapors in the atmosphere are likely to kill those reckless people in a short time!
"How's the reconnaissance team's mission going? Did you find anything out of the ordinary?! β
As soon as he walked into the central command hall on the second floor of the command center, Doug immediately asked a military adjutant who was in charge of following up on the whole matter.
Ever since three days ago, after the burrowing attack of those bugs that night, and the heavy casualties on this side, Doug, who had learned his lesson, had always felt that they humans, their ground base, could no longer defend passively like this!
They must have more information about bugs, and they must also take the initiative to nip the danger in the bud!
Because, now this ground base of their human race, whether it is air firepower or ground forces, has made great progress, and it is no longer the previous embarrassing state of being overstretched and insufficient troops!
Now they have not only nearly fifty heavy siege tanks and the same number of vulture chariots, but also fifty space and planetary environment dual-purpose Wraith fighters from the second base in the asteroid belt above space!
Therefore, Doug believes that they already have enough military strength to take the initiative to fight, instead of sitting in the base and waiting for the bugs to attack!
Within the original plan, the number of fighters supporting their ground base No. 1 this time was originally a full hundred, but after discovering that the bugs appeared in the air force, out of prudence, Captain Leona intercepted half of them and used them as the basic protection of the Hope colony spaceship.
After all, those bugs have appeared as dragon-like air combat units, although no one knows whether they have the ability to enter synchronous orbit or fight in space, but the Hope is currently almost in an unprotected state, obviously not good!
Before the heavy battlecruiser was built and put into combat sequence, the security breach of the Hope was too large, so the captain could not be cautious and intercept some of the fighters, also from a safety point of view.
"Report to the Commander! The nineteen-member reconnaissance team led by 031 has now reached the big rift in the canyon, and now they are preparing to install rigging, intending to slide down into the canyon as planned for on-the-spot reconnaissance! β
After seeing the commander's questioning, the adjutant quickly took it up and stood up to report.
In front of him, there were several holographic lists, showing the scanned schematics of the canyon and the Great Rift by several satellites, as well as the close-range radar topographic map of the armored transport ship hovering high in the sky, and the video equipment that the Marines had opened to show the situation on the ground.
Prior to this, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft had been repeatedly dispatched to ground bases for such dangerous reconnaissance operations.
However, in the crack of this Grand Canyon, I don't know if it is because of the magnetic field or some special energy, as long as the unmanned reconnaissance plane enters it, it will soon lose contact with the base and crash.
Even if they specially modified intelligent autonomous unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, they could not go too deep into the crack, and often after reaching a certain depth, they would lose their way, and then they would have to return automatically, or never come back......
In this strange place, electronic devices don't seem to work very well?
Therefore, until now, although the ground base has conducted many reconnaissances, they do not know too much about the situation in this canyon, coupled with the sneak attack of the insects before, and the satellite discovered that there are signs of insect activity here, so this is the special operation of these twenty marines preparing for close reconnaissance on the spot.
ββ¦β¦β
After hearing the adjutant's answer, Doug didn't say much, just stood silently and watched the Marines in the hologram busy.
From the hologram, Doug could see that the twenty Marines, under the command of the captain, were working to install two abseiling tools in order to ensure that they could land safely and silently to the bottom.
"Very well, you keep an eye on it here, and report back to me as soon as anything happens!"
After looking at it for a while, Doug felt that it was estimated that it would take at least ten minutes for these Marines to install the tools alone, so she didn't look at it much, but just reminded the adjutant and walked to the other side.
"Yes! Sir! β
ββββ
At this time, in the Hope game platform, in this exclusive training map made by Little Annie, after being severely taught two times by the undead of Azeroth and the boss of the Burning Legion, the twenty marines who finally became honest stood in two horizontal queues in a regular manner, put their hands behind their backs, and made a neat posture, waiting for their commander to speak.
In front of their team, there were two weapon racks, and on top of one of them, ten heavy two-handed swords were neatly stacked; The one on the other side was hung with ten huge two-handed battle axes.
These are the enchanted weapons that Little Anne promised them!
Of course, they are just data items in the game, not physical objects yet, but thanks to the powerful computing power of Dawning, they are not much different from real objects.
In the past, little Anne had studied some of the planet's specialties a little, which was that kind of high-energy crystal energy mineral!
After that, she quickly found a suitable magic array, successfully transformed the powerful energy contained in the crystal into the magical energy she wanted, and soon realized the enchantment of the sample.
Now in the barracks outside, she had already ordered the equipment department to order the staff to use the best materials to build the twenty weapon blanks for enchantment in her prescribed size.
"Okay, what's that? Well, everyone, take a break! Now, you've all listened to me! I'm just going to say it once, and I won't repeat it again! β
Seeing that these people didn't dare to grind any longer, but only dared to look at themselves with their heads raised and their chests held high, little Anne nodded with satisfaction, and pretended to be those instructors, and walked to the two weapon racks.
These bastards, they just don't know why the flames are so red without being beaten a few times! If you don't teach them a hard lesson, do they really think that their marines are the best in the world?
Anne thinks that if they really let them go to Azeroth, it will definitely not take more than three months, and by then, it will probably be all finished, right?
"This two-handed greatsword, it's called the Holy ...... No, actually, its real name is: Demacia Justice! β
But in fact, this is a holy light energy long sword that is transformed by using a magic array according to the kind of attributeless high-energy crystal in this world, a kind of holy light power that is not very pure, anyway, that's pretty much the thing?
In the past, after making a successful sample, Little Anne scanned it directly into the game, and gave her all the settings specified in the game to meet all the settings of the mature product she was going to develop later.
After all, in the previous world of Azeroth, in her Flame Alliance, there were many paladins, and little Anne was still relatively familiar with the kind of positive energy they used called Holy Light, and it was not too difficult to transform.
Originally, little Anne didn't bother to name it, so she wanted to call it the Holy Light Sword or something.
But I don't know why, when she was about to call out, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be going to force Galen's Cobra Team to change its name to Demacia Team?
Then, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and directly changed the Holy Light Sword in time to: Demacia Justice!
Later, while explaining, she secretly used her authority to directly change the sword in the game map, as well as the original names of those axes.
"When you hear their names, you should know that they use a kind of righteous force!"
At this point, little Annie's eyes suddenly became shining, and her big sly blue eyes were full of triumph when the plan succeeded.
"As long as you Demacia squad, when using it, shout: Demacia! Then, the more focused your spirit is, the stronger your will, and the more you understand its power after resonating, the more you can stimulate its power and give feedback to yourself in time. Isn't it superb? β
After casually picking up a two-handed sword taller than her own height from the weapon rack, little Anne began to introduce it triumphantly.
These things are the great invention of her powerful demigod mage with extraordinary learning!
After blending the energy transformation circle, the special energy crystals of this world, and the power of holy light that can be successfully manifested in this world, they become a magical energy weapon.
They are little Annie's own inventions, and there is no semicolon!
"Alright, now, big Galen, why don't you try it first?"
After saying that, little Anne didn't think about it, and directly threw the heavy weapon towards Galen on the opposite side.
"Ouch! Yes? How...... So light? β
Originally, seeing the other party throwing it over so casually, Galen was really nervous for a while, for fear that this heavy weapon would hit his foot or something.
But he didn't expect that after starting it, he found that this heavy sword was a bit outrageously light? Feels like it's made of wood?
"Of course! In the game, it's set up to feel like you're holding this sword while you're wearing an armored powered combat suit! β
Little Anne glared at each other angrily.
If it weren't set like this, with the physical fitness of these weak chickens, I really wanted them to raise this kind of big sword of at least more than 100 pounds, and if they practiced for ten years, they might not be able to wield it!
She doesn't have that much time, so it's a waste to accompany them!
Now, she was able to spare half a day to explain it to them, which was already amazing!
"Well, so that'......"
After nodding, Galen also somewhat understood Little Annie's thoughts.
After weighing the long sword in his hand, he himself felt that this was not bad!
In any case, it is impossible for them to go hand-to-hand combat with insects without wearing armored power combat suits and directly carrying cold weapons, right? If that's the case, then it's really a crime!
"Okay, let's try it out!"
Seeing that Galen's big man was still weighing, little Anne was a little impatient, even she, a mage, could see that the other party was a novice, who could she pretend to show her?
Her own time was precious, so she hurriedly urged.
"Uh, that'...... Then I'll give it a try? β
Curiously studying the two-handed broadsword in his hand, Galen walked out of the queue scratching his head.
"Ahem!"
Then, he glanced at the other team members a little nervously, then coughed twice with a little seriousness, and finally raised his big sword in his hand.
By the way, what is the slogan that little Anne said just now?
"Virtue ...... Demacia? β
A little hesitant, after a long time, Galen learned a little from the slogan that little Anne had just taught them, and tried to shout in a voice that was neither loud nor small.
After Galen's voice fell, the broadsword in his hand unexpectedly lit up, and that strange golden light instantly soaked through the sword body, flashed, but quickly extinguished.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Not only Galen himself, but even the nineteen Marines who were standing in the queue felt a little inexplicable.
They didn't quite understand, what was going on with that golden light just now? Then, why did it go out again? Finally, and most importantly, what is the use of its sword body, which glows with golden light? Purify the so-called undead as before?
However, on this planet on the ground base, there are no undead for them to purify......
"That, little ...... Sir! We...... Can you change the slogan? I always feel that this slogan now, it's a bit weird! β
Scratching his head again, Galen put away his long sword, stood on the ground with both hands, and turned to the little Anne beside him to suggest.
"And...... This power, what is it for? In addition to shining and looking good, it is estimated that it is not as good as the searchlight on an armored power combat suit! β
Galen always felt that he was holding a long sword and shouting something Demacia or something, and he always had a stupid feeling, could it be that little Anne made it up?
If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have said: Where is the kingdom of Demacia in her native Valoran? Also a general named Galen?
Even if this kind of power really had to shout this kind of slogan, he really didn't have that sense of belonging......
He is the lieutenant captain of the Marine Corps of the USS Hope, and the general of the future humans of the USS Hope! It's not the general of the Demacia Kingdom of Raush, why did he let him shout like this?
"That's the slogan, there's no way to change it! As for that power, I'd better have someone show you! β
As for the slogans shouted, of course they can be changed!
Whether it's changed to the Holy Light, or long live humanity, or justice triumphs, or whatever! However, little Anne is not happy to change it, and now she thinks it is quite interesting!
The reason why she bothered to do this was to make them look familiar, so that she could have a full sense of prank achievement!
If one day, get this fake Galen to the world of Valoran, it must be super interesting, right?
As soon as she thought of that kind of picture, little Anne was excited: two Galen who shouted Demacia slogans, each wielding a big sword, the genuine Demacian justice and the copycat version of the Holy Light fighting together, how fun would it be?
So, this slogan, it must not be changed! It must be called Demacia, and it is useless to persuade anyone!
"D'Sohan, show them the power of the Light!"
With a wave of her hand, little Anne created a paladin boss of the Silver Hand Knights in her own impression in front of these people-Da Sohan.
"Do as you command, my leader! Long live the Flame Alliance! β
The created intelligent NPC Da Sohan first saluted little Anne and praised the Flame Alliance, and then carried his huge silver-white war hammer to the side of the Stratholme Bridge.
"Holy Light...... Please bless me! β
Da Suohan didn't even bother to glance at the group of marines, walked straight to the stone bridge, and raised his silver-white two-handed warhammer.
As he called out for the holy light, a golden pillar of light instantly appeared on his body, and his war hammer also became golden and prosperous.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly became fierce.
When the energy of the holy light in his body gathered to the peak, Dasuhan jumped to his feet, and then, clutching the golden sledgehammer with both heads, he twisted and slammed into the deck of the stone bridge of the former Stratholme.
Punishment Skill: Paladin's Judgment!
Rumble!!!
After a sound like the roar of a cannon, in the explosion of golden light, the entire stone bridge nearly ten meters wide was smashed to pieces by the surging power of holy light!
Even, the lake was struck by the huge power of holy light that overflowed, and a large column of water burst out, directly pouring the twenty marines lined up against the bridge into a soup chicken......
The golden light gradually dissipated, and when everything began to calm down, they were shocked to find that a large section of the entire stone bridge had been smashed alive by the knight named Da Sohan, with his own strength?
This kind of unbelievable power, even if they are wearing armored power combat suits, they can't do it, right?
ββ¦β¦β
The members of the Marines, including Galen, didn't care about the lake dripping from their bodies, and just stared in amazement at the expressionless paladin Da Sohan who turned around after the demonstration.
"Okay, now, do any of you have any questions?"
After nodding in satisfaction, little Anne waved her hand, and both the destroyed bridge and the NPC Dassaulthan disappeared, and everything returned to its previous state.
Of course, she deliberately did not restore the water stains on the bodies of these marines.
"Ouch! Oh my mother?! It's so powerful, huh? Gallian! Do you want it? If not, then go get the axe, and we'll play with the sword!" β
Seeing that kind of golden, domineering, powerful, and particularly bright and blinding effect, Darius couldn't sit still!
"Wait! Don't hey, let me try again! β
After seeing that kind of golden light, which could actually cause such a terrifying power, Galen was willing to act seriously, and finally let go of the previous mind of being a little playful.
Call......
Then, Galen exhaled deeply, first closed his eyes, stabilized his emotions a little, and only after thinking about the slogan, imagining it as some kind of righteous and positive thing, he suddenly raised the long sword in his hand above his head again.
"Demacia !!"
Suddenly, while raising his sword, Galen shouted loudly!
In the next moment, the long sword in his hand began to flourish with golden light.
Although it is not one percent of the Warhammer Knight just now, it also makes his whole body look golden and shiny, and he feels so imposing!
Thanks to the powerful computing and simulation capabilities of the Dawn of the Brain, as well as Little Annie's excellent magic energy conversion design, this actually made Galen from an ordinary warrior to instantly sense the existence of the Holy Light after just concentrating his spirit.
This, it must be said, it is a great invention!
If at that time, its actual life can be consistent with the situation simulated in the game.
Of course, this sword, like those axes, needs to be recharged! And the energy is the special energy mineral they dug up on the planet JNO.3: high-energy crystals!
Without the assistance of this weapon, it would be many years before Galen and the others sensed and summoned their own holy light......
"Ahaha...... Now, I feel like I'm powerful! I, fearless! Who's going to go it alone with me? Just let the horses come! β
Feeling the surging and somewhat false sense of power in his body, Galen laughed a little smugly.
Now, he can't wait to let little Anne hurry up and make those big swords in the real world as soon as possible.
At that point, he Galen may be able to call himself a Marine with special abilities, right?
With this kind of power, those bugs, when they get close, Galen thinks that he must be able to beat a hundred of them by himself!?
"Alright, Team Demacia, find your own sword and play with it! Now, it's the turn of the Noxus squad. β
After signaling the members of Galen's team, who had been a little impatient, to pick up a big sword for themselves, little Anne walked up to Darius and his group with an equally huge battle axe.
"You're looking at it, too: this axe, it's called the Hand of Noxus!"
"They use the power of anger, and when you fight, the more angry you are, the stronger your fighting spirit becomes, and at the same time shout: Noxus! And then the more you can exert its power, you have to pay attention! β
Little Anne decided that she could demonstrate it to them herself.
So, she carried the axe in one hand and frowned, as if it was ...... Want to stir up her own anger?
"Tsk...... Let's try it again. β
In the course of a minute, little Anne, who found that the axe had no reaction, quickly gave up.
Obviously, she is a serious mage, but she is not a warrior! He is not a person who can inexplicably mobilize his anger, nor does he have the ability to make a staff with his left hand and sell a sword with his right hand.
In Little Annie's opinion, Faye, it is a sane creature! How can you casually get angry and swing a sword and slash someone? It's so informal!
Perhaps, only a madman would do that, right? Like the kind of fighter who has no brains and only bursts into anger?
Cut......
After the failed attempt, little Anne sneered at the muscular and brainless warriors, and with a wave of her hand, she conjured up a rugged, tall orc warrior.
Then, with a flick of her hand, she threw the axe at the other man.
She had seen this kind of green-headed, green-brained and green-skinned orc warriors, and they fought hand-to-hand, which was super powerful!
If it were to demonstrate this weapon of using anger to inspire power, perhaps no race could be more suitable.
"Na! Show them how powerful your orc warriors can be when they burst into rage. β
Little Anne glanced at the orc warrior who was still a little stunned after catching the axe, and then pointed to the ten marines lined up in Darius.
"Yes! Powerful mage! β
With four hideous fangs on his big mouth and a body almost as tall as a Marine and a half, the strong orc warrior NPC grabbed the axe with one hand and saluted little Anne before turning around and walking to the bridge.
Then, he looked around, as if thinking of a target that he could attack?
"Too weak......"
A bunch of weak scum!
After first looking at Galen's group over there, who were having a good time playing with the Holy Light, the orc warrior shook his head disdainfully.
Those people are not even Paladin apprentices, he can completely abuse them without weapons, and he is completely unqualified to be his opponent!
Then, when he turned to see the one in the distance, the huge Stantholm gate, his eyes lit up!
Then he took the great two-handed axe, and walked a few steps forward, until he reached the bridge deck, not too far from the distant gate, and then stopped.
"Power and glory!!"
After the orc screamed loudly, his body, as well as the axe in his hand, suddenly flashed with brutal and bloodthirsty scarlet energy, and they were like flames, directly enveloping his whole body.
βLokβTar OgarοΌοΌοΌβ
Then, after shouting another language that all the marines did not understand, he slammed the battle axe with the scarlet energy mass in his hand and threw it directly towards the city gate in the distance......
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The scarlet battle axe, under the huge power of the orcs and the blessing of the power of anger, swirled, emitting a terrifying howl that pierced the air, and with lightning speed, it directly bombarded the head of Stratholme in the distance.
Rumble!!!
There was another explosion not inferior to the paladin's blow just now, and then, after a puff of smoke and dust, the gates and towers of Stratholme were reduced to ruins......
ββ¦β¦β
"This ......"
Originally, Darius and his party, who were still envious of Galen's ability to share that kind of golden sword, were now watching in shock at the terrifying blow inflicted by the green-skinned creature.
This kind of power can be hit coldly, even by a small warship. I guess I can beat it down, right?
Moreover, this kind of thing about anger and fighting spirit is more suitable for them as marines than justice or anything like that!
After all, they were originally warriors, and anger and fighting spirit were originally their profession......
"Okay, you can slowly become proficient in this map yourself, if you think you can master the weapon, you can go into that Stratholme and kill the undead by yourself!"
"Here, but I've set it up as a copy! If there is anything you don't understand, just ask Dawn! β
As soon as the three-minute heat passed, little Anne didn't bother to bother with them anymore.
You know, she's never been a teacher!
Now, to be able to waste so much time teaching them is already remarkable! And if they want more? Then go into the city and fight the undead yourself!
Anyway, this is just a game map made by using the Dawning Brain, and it won't really die!
As for warrior or paladin skills and the like, little Anne herself doesn't know much about it!
Perhaps, if they fight themselves, they will use their own skills?
By the time they're able to clear this Stantholm dungeon, it's pretty much ...... That's a graduation, right?
As Darius's squad swarmed to the weapon racks to grab the axes, little Anne waved her hand again, restoring Stratholme to his original state and opening the gates for them, refreshing the endless army of the undead inside.
"That...... Play by yourselves, I'm going to eat now! β
After saying that, Little Anne directly teleported out this special map and returned to the lobby of the game platform.
Hey? Just......
It seems that he accidentally put all the powerful Dreaddemon King of Varimasas into it?
If they are purple, will they be repaired badly by those undead when the time comes? For them, those undead are still very powerful, right?
Not...... That one......
Forget it, let's leave them alone for now, anyway, they won't really die, and if they die a few more times, they'll get used to it, so be it!
After thinking about it, little Anne decided not to care about her mistake just now, she felt that it was too troublesome to revise it again, so let them play?
After thinking about it, she just quit the game on her own.
