Chapter 654: The Crisis That Was Arranged to Understand
After seeing the video data transmitted by Iron Throne-Zero, Gawain couldn't help but take a soft breath.
That group of madmen actually made a fake "Giant Deer Amone" out......
The forgery was clearly out of control, as evidenced by the shattered flesh and deformed body, but beyond that, both the holy light and the light-forged antlers that surrounded it were the same as the real "Giant Deer Ammon", which was undoubtedly an astonishing creation - despite being an enemy, despite being on the wrong path, the biochemical technology in the hands of the Society of the End of Life still amazed Gawain's heart.
They probably collected the genetic factors from the gods of nature in the human body, and then shaped this monster through some kind of reverse reduction, this level of technological power......
Isn't it okay to take it out and do something?
Gawain only wants to sigh about this now, but the upper echelons of the Society of the End of All Things may have been wiped out by a wave when this terrible artificial god awakened and lost control, and all his exclamations and questions could not be vented, and the only thing he could do was to find a way to deal with this huge mess.
He looked at the terminal of the magic net in front of him, the holographic projection in mid-air was showing a bust of Maryland, behind this commander, was a busy scene in the command center of the Iron Throne tactical section, several holographic projections flashed in the background of the picture, many civilian personnel with information in their hands hurried through the carriage, obviously, the appearance of the "giant deer" had made everyone nervous.
"What's going on now? This one...... The monster is still in place? β
"Yes," perhaps due to the interference of the strong energy field that permeated the plains of the Holy Spirit, Maryland's voice was slightly distorted, "On the first contact, it showed strong aggression and destroyed two of our chariots, killing the soldiers on board, but soon ceased its activity and began to wander the plains......
"I've sent several teams to keep an eye on this monster from a distance, and one thing is certain for now - when our soldiers get close to this monster at a certain distance, it activates and starts attacking, but it stops after a certain amount of time or if it can't find a target......
"Its range is gradually expanding, and surveillance personnel are seeing that it is becoming more and more restless.
"We suspect that it has not fully woken up, maybe it will be a few days, maybe in a day or two, it will completely 'wake up'......"
Gawain listened carefully to Maryland's report, and on another holographic projection next to it, there were some video clips of the "man-made god".
The monstrous monster ran wild across the plains, sweeping the battlefield in some sort of plasma-like attack, the scorching heat sweeping through the ravines of the earth; It made a frantic noise, a chaotic noise that could not be described in human language that filled the battlefield with its movements, and the mass of Crystal Giants grew more and more frantic in the noise; It roamed the land, its brilliance floating, and everywhere it went, birds and beasts, and even crystalline giants fell in pieces, and countless flowers and vines bloomed on its corpses......
In some of the far distances, it wanders bewilderably across the plains, seemingly aimless, but occasionally suddenly runs wildly, attacking all targets indiscriminately.
All these characteristics fully meet the criteria of "madness".
This is the "power of the gods" that will be created when all things die.
According to Maryland's report, this monster is very powerful, it is almost completely unafraid of the shells of the main battle tank, theoretically even a fixed ground cannon and the current maximum power calibration beam may not be able to kill it, it also has a terrifying attack ability, its summoned energy beam can easily cut through the hull of the main battle tank, just one blow can penetrate the shield made by the Iron Ambassador, it can also summon strange and difficult to defend extraordinary power, in the absence of shield protection, All lifeforms that come close to it will be transformed into vines and blooming flowers, meaning that regular ground forces will die as soon as they stand within a certain radius of the monster......
This was the most formidable enemy that Cecil's legion had faced since its establishment.
However, Gawain judged that the giant deer was still an unsuccessful imitation, and he even suspected that the Cultists of the End of Life had created a monster with some divine power.
Because the flesh and blood of this "giant deer" was not as indestructible as he imagined, the main cannon of Warhammer-I, although it did little damage to it, was also able to cause damage and hinderment - with the current mortal power, it could cause damage, which was enough to show that the giant deer on the plains of the Holy Spirit was just a clumsy monster.
With the power of the entire southern realm, at considerable sacrifices, relying on a large amount of long-range firepower that exceeds its self-healing limit and pre-set traps, it may still be possible to kill this "artificial god" on its ownβthis is Gawain's estimate based on intelligence.
But he only estimated it this way, because he did not intend to make such a huge sacrifice in order to deal with this "fake" - in the case of the empire is not stable, in the situation of internal emptiness and external enemies, he must preserve his strength, and this threat ...... Leave it to the hungry visitors of the deep.
It's time to put an end to this farce.
The monster must have just escaped its "hotbed" and was still wandering the plains in a half-dreamy state, and it would soon be fully awake and instinctively destroying - before that the trap should be prepared.
β¦β¦
In the south, Cecil City, on the banks of the River Whitewater, a fast mechanical ship preparing to go to the Rock Fortress is docking, several magic carts with sword and plow insignia are parked next to the wide road leading to the trestle, and the people preparing to board the ship are saying goodbye to friends and family on the side of the road, and the Siren Tyr is lazily lying on the edge of the pier, watching this scene with some boredom.
The reason why it is "lying down" instead of "plate" is because she now uses a fish tail.
Humans are really strange creatures...... Or rather, all species with short lifespans and fragile lives look strange to the Kraken. These people attach so much importance to short-term separation, that even if they are only separated by a few hundred kilometers, they have to say goodbye here for a long time, and there are even some things that seem to be "ritualized" in it, such as exchanging tokens and blessings to each other...... At first, these things seem interesting, but after watching too much, they get bored.
At least for Miss Tyre, who just wanted to be lazy, these things were far less comfortable than sunbathing and napping on the docks.
Tyr yawned vigorously, straightened from the tip of his head to the tip of his tail, and then with a straining of his tail, the whole fish "snapped" and rolled over on the concrete floor of the dock, and continued to snooze in the sun.
However, a figure suddenly approached, blocking the warm and comfortable sunlight, and also woke Tyr, who was about to fall asleep.
Miss Kraken looked up at the figure who was close to herβa familiar figure in a plain white dress, with long gray-white hair coiled behind her head, a wide-brimmed sunhat that had recently become popular in the South, and a striking scar on her cheek:
The head of the Rune Research Institute, Cecil's chief rune expert, Jenny? Miss Perrault.
Tyr rubbed his eyes, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your friends?" β
"There's nothing to say goodbye to, I'll be back soon," Jenny said with a gentle smile, "I'm here to say hello to you......"
"You're in the habit of saying honorifics to everyone," Tyr yawned, "what do you say hello to me...... I'm basking in the sun. β
"Thank you for your willingness to hand over those mysterious runes on your body to us for study, according to the news from the front, those runes have indeed had an effect, and the lives of many soldiers have been saved," Jenny said with a sincere bow, "It's a shame that we can only use it superficially, and we haven't cracked the secrets of those runes until now......"
"Then you're going to have to crack it slowly, because even we don't know how those runes work," Tyr patted the ground with his tail, "Maybe one day I'll take you to see the big squid, and look at the pattern on the surface of that thing, and you'll figure it out...... You don't think and perceive the same way as us Krakens, so you can probably see things that we can't see? β
Jenny immediately smiled: "I'm looking forward to that day." β
"Don't talk about that," Tyr propped himself up, supporting himself with a fishtail, and glanced up at the mechanical ship not far away, "...... You're heading to the city of St. Sunil, right? Gawain over there? β
ββ¦β¦ Yes," Jenny seemed to pause for a moment before speaking, "a large number of people are needed over there to restore order, and the Duke needs a group of scholars to sort through the royal archives and the materials in the Mage Guild to prepare for the acquisition of Ansu's technical heritage...... I've been tasked with bringing a team of rune experts to help. β
"I heard you're from that city," Tyr looked curiously at the friend he had met during a technical exchange, the end of the fishtail unconsciously tapping lightly on the concrete floor, "Do you have any acquaintances over there?" β
Acquaintance......
Jenny was silent for a moment, then turned her head to look at the sparkling whitewater river in the breeze, at the mechanical ship with the magic wings retracted, and in the direction of the royal capital.
The chief rune master smiled slightly: "There are indeed acquaintances. β
Then, she said goodbye to Tyr, and turned to walk to the mechanical ship docked not far away.
Tyr blinked, as if sensing a subtle mood swing from the rune master in that moment, but she couldn't tell what it was because she didn't know much about humans, so she had to shake her head and stretch, ready to turn over again before the sun went down.
However, she was destined to be unable to sleep today.
There was a rush of footsteps coming from not far away, and it was clearly heading this way, and Tir raised his eyelids to see a young lady in a black uniform running towards her.
It's the sheriff of the docklands, Joan, who is said to have a younger brother who works in a factory - Tyre often comes to the river to bask in the sun, so she knows this sheriff lady.
"Miss Tyr!" The young sheriff walked quickly to the "ship advisor" and gave a clean salute, "There is a message from the government affairs department, please go to the meeting immediately." β
"Huh? Looking for me? Tyr scratched his hair, "What's the matter?" β
"I don't know either...... But Madam Hetty has asked me to convey to you a word that you will understand," said Miss Sheriff with a serious face, "'The meal is on the table, and it is ready to be served.'" β
"Open for dinner? I still need to go to the government hall for this matter......" Tyre didn't react at first (after all, it had been sunbathing for almost a day), but the next second he bounced up, "It's time to eat?!" Okay, I get it - I'll be right away! β
Before the words fell, the Siren Lady had already turned into a cloud of mist, and in the next second, she switched to the form of a sea snake that was easy to move, and left quickly.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one will believe that a big bug can arch so fast......
β¦β¦
In St. Sunil, within Fort Silver, Gawain has established a connection to the South.
"Our Elemental Leaping Tower is ready, now we only need a guide beacon," said Siren Tyr with a serious face on the holographic projection projected by the Magic Net Terminal, "I need a relatively stable environment, preferably with a body of water such as a river nearby, where I will release a signal and guide - and then, you will have to find a way to lure that 'deer' into the trap." β
ββ¦β¦ It's a very risky thing to do. β
Gawain frowned, his gaze slowly sweeping over the map hanging on the wall not far away.
The Krakens can cross the Endless Sea in a way called "Elemental Leap", but this process is accompanied by a very obvious concentration of energy, and even if the giant deer is delirious, it will probably not stupidly wait for the process to be completed, so in order to ensure the success rate of "hunting", the trap must be prepared in advance in another place, and then the giant deer must be lured into this trap in some way.
After thinking about it, Gawain gradually had a plan.
