Times are changing.

[Destiny Space] is indeed the only pillar for human beings to survive in such an apocalypse, and even to fight the demons head-on.

But everything must not be left to fate.

All the resources that can be used to fight the demons, even the aberrant creatures and chaotic materials outside the city, can be used by humans.

At the same time, through the platform of destiny, the development of science and technology will be promoted to the greatest extent.

Although the entropy value in different fate worlds is different, the technology tree is different, and there is a "technical isolation" itself.

However, the knights can exchange points for a large number of scientific research materials, obtain a scientific and technological blueprint with a certain high-tech era background, and create a unique technology tree belonging to the human beings of the Holy City based on the steam technology developed by the Holy City itself and the high-tech technology of the Destiny World as the branches.

Develop a military weapon that can threaten the Alien Demons.

The "Power Armor" prepared by Steam City for the members of the Expeditionary Force is the crystallization of human wisdom and destiny.

Equally.

More than 200 years of anatomy, analysis, and research on the flesh of alien demons.

In addition to the fact that the alien cells show a strong rejection of the metal atom "copper".

It also exhibits repulsion, restriction, suppression, regeneration, and even cellular annihilation of the Holy Light, Mithril, and patterns from ancient stone tablets.

Twenty years ago.

Steam Knights - Deputy Commander [Congreve. In the name of the Cult of the Mechanicus, Newton submitted a military research project to the Parliament, trying to integrate all the 'things' that can restrain the demons into metal machines.

Years passed.

A batch of "bronze bullets" with the seal of the church printed on the surface of the cartridge casings were distributed free of charge to the Knights who could use firearms.

The short-term feedback has been excellent.

Bullets exhibit excellent lethality against Aliens below the "Mature Form".

A bullet that successfully hits the target can effectively inhibit regeneration and cause damage at the cellular level.

Especially when fighting in a group, this kind of combat method can save physical energy, and a large number of low-level evil spirits and low-level demons can be killed by firing guns alone.

The Knights of the Windrun even had a secret connection with Mr. Newton in private.

Willing to pay a high fee, and even provide some shooting knights, rush to the steam city for actual combat drills...... An attempt was made to order ammunition in large quantities.

If possible, they also hope that the Cult of the Mechanics will be able to craft some more efficient and powerful bullets that can be used against high-level aliens under special circumstances.

That's it.

The "Divine Cult Bronze Bomb" began to be produced in large quantities, and a military workshop was added to the Steam City.

These bullets are slowly being used in various investigative missions and small-scale expeditions.

To cater to the arrival of the Great Expedition.

Congreve. Newton took the initiative to apply for a batch of funds from the [financier] and made a large number of copper bullets, which were provided to the expeditionary force free of charge.

Many knights who benefited from this had a different kind of respect for Mr. Newton.

……

The Lake War has come to an end.

Rely on the Shadow Assassin to launch a surprise attack to attract the attention of the enemy to the greatest extent.

The Assassin's Heart was used to find out the weakness of the disguised toad and pass it back to the Knights on the shore of the lake.

Using the dust kicked up by the explosion as cover, the firearms-proficient knight pinpointed all the toads' weak points with precision aiming instruments.

Tongues of fire gush out.

Within ten seconds, all the strange toads in the lake were shot.

"This bullet ...... Is it a product of the Cult of the Mechanics?

The copper skin, the secret inscription, and the high concentration of holy water in the bullet core, Mr. Newton really bothered.

This kind of thing is estimated to be able to deal with low-level evil and wild monsters with one shot, and even the newborn alien will be injured.

But...... This lake is supposed to be just a test for the toads.

Through hundreds of [wild monsters] that are not even alien demons, relying on the lake as a cover, to test the strength of the knights.

Next, the real thing should come out. ”

As Han Dong thought.

With hundreds of toads being killed.

A vortex slowly appeared in the center of the lake, and the water continued to flow into the depths.

As the water receded, the entire lake evolved into a spiral staircase that stretched deeper into the ruins...... It seems to be the nest of the toad.

Since the Order's mission was to win the battle, there was no reason to retreat.

Under the singing and playing of the bard Meredith, and in conjunction with the victory of the Lake War, all the members maintained a high-pitched state of mind and went down the spiral staircase to the depths.

The deeper you go, the stronger your body will respond.

In addition to some herpes growing between the surface of the knights' bodies, some also have toad skin structures, and even a few people have a few handfuls of black hair between the skin......

Han Dong also kept the [Demon Eye] closed throughout the whole process, secretly calculating the plan.

There is no such thing as a cave

The staircase at the bottom of the lake leads the company of knights deep underground, corresponding to a large cavern that is dark and damp.

Torches can't be lit here, and once they are taken out, they're soaked.

Luckily, the power armor rooms are equipped with lighting devices, and some knights who are proficient in holy light and flame also light themselves up to illuminate the caverns at the bottom of the lake to the fullest.

It resembles a natural cave, except that there are a large number of circular raised structures between the rock formations, similar to the skin of a toad.

"It's ...... What building? ”

A strange and huge stone structure is located about a hundred meters from the front of the Order.

From the current view of the Knights, only the main entrance of the building can be seen...... The gate alone is tens of meters high, and the building as a whole is completely integrated with the cave.

On each side of the gate is a "stone toad"

"Toad...... Palace? ”

Han Dong deciphered the high-level characters imprinted on the base of the stone toad.

"The location we are in should be the front yard of the Toad Palace.

The cave is essentially the Toad Palace, which is the territory of the "Intermediate Deed" pairing...... The scale inside the palace should be terrifyingly large, and the battle could evolve into a series of skirmishes inside the palace instead of the imagined large-scale engagements.

It is also not known how many toads are hiding inside. ”

Come to think of it.

Han Dong's left palm slowly overflowed with the black sand of death, and the grains of sand wrapped the "Mobile Title Deed-Crimson Manor".

In the manner described by the Crimson Count, verify that the land deeds can devour each other.

Airplanes...... There was a slight tremor in the title deed.

"Huh? Count, didn't you say that only the same type of title deed can be devoured?

The toad's medium-sized title deed, built in a cave at the bottom of a lake, is extremely humid and exists in the form of a palace, and is completely out of the category of the Scarlet Manor.

How can there still be induction? ”

The count in his body was also confused.

"Strange...... Shouldn't it? How could Earl Ben's manor be connected to such a damp, dirty, artless and aesthetically devoid toad territory?

Could it be that the interior of the palace is different? ”

"Let's not talk about that, I'll ask you if you can devour it?"

"If you can have such a resonance induction, it means that there is homology between the title deeds...... It can definitely be devoured. Just ......"

"That's fine."

"Hey! Don't mess around, don't you see Toad Zu secretly observing all this? Forget about the rats of Perugia, you caught its weakness and happened to win.

Toad Ancestor is not an atavistic body, and even a mythical body is not worth mentioning in front of it.

Count Ben didn't want to be turned into a hatch for its larvae. ”

"I'm scared too...... Rest assured, if I am not sure for sure, the war will not start. ”

"Even if you're sure, you can't do it! Count Ben is absolutely not involved. ”
