One Thousand Ninety-Four Transformations of the Heart of the Silver Moon, Floating Fortress and Void Fortress
The canopy of the sky was already purple and blue, and the Heart of the Silver Moon had risen to an altitude of nearly four hundred kilometers, and its speed was gradually slowing down.
In the center of the Moon Bay Plains, Finney's sleeping silver canopy was wrapped in a giant tower. Some of the robotic arms are still busy outside the tower, continuing to lay protective equipment.
"Did Nairo retreat......"
A few kilometers away from the giant tower, on the edge of Moon Bay, Li Qi was relieved after reading the report of the return to the fort.
The god of death Nairo will turn his face after dealing with Karuzha, which is a judgment that has been made early on, but I didn't expect it to be just in time for the defense of the Heart of the Silver Moon.
The Red Federation urgently needs to draw people from the Hell Commune and the Hell Plane Army, and Nairo has really caused a lot of trouble when he comes.
Fortunately, Otto's promotion to demigod was not planned, and there was little certainty that he would have pulled Skeletron over, and these two unexpected entries made up for the deficit that would have been there, and the Red League was still able to get the necessary support from the Homecoming Fort.
Now that these two demigods who can fight are sitting in hell, plus Alishan, who can at least nourish water, as long as they take a defensive position, Nairo will not be able to return to the team fort.
As mentioned in the report, Nairo was frightened by Skeletron's betrayal and became jealous of the other undead monarchs, so he abandoned his plan to start a fight in the Great Rift and hastily evacuated with the army of the undead. He will not run away, and the crimson soul fire that continues to spread will involve all the low-level undead.
Otto and Skeletron's side were actually bluffing, so they didn't pursue.
At that time, the Crimson Soul Fire seemed to be burning badly, and it was involved in millions of low-level undead, but for the Undead Monarch and even the Reaper, the loss was only a part of the power of death, and they could use the power of death obtained in the third layer of Purgatory to continue to summon hundreds of millions of undead.
On the other hand, although the Crimson Soul Fire will remove the control of the undead by the power of death, the souls of the vast majority of the undead are not enough to withstand the Crimson Divine Power, and will be completely annihilated in the Burning Plains Soul Fire, and eventually the one in a hundred that can be transformed into the Crimson Heroic Spirit. The Crimson Heroic Spirit, who has been reborn in the soul fire, is also in urgent need of conditioning and education, and immediately entering the battle is to deliver food.
What really shocked Nairo was Skeletron's transformation, which subverted Nairo's common sense.
The undead, like demons and demons, are bound by the power of death at higher levels. It stands to reason that an undead monarch like Skeletron would never be able to break free from the power of death.
Outrumins and the Crimson Undead are special cases, when they were still at a low level, Li Qi used the crimson divine power to organize a network of souls, and at that time they were free from the shackles of the power of death. Later, he was transferred to Alishan, the goddess of the river Styx, and was protected by the power of the river Styx.
Skeletron doesn't have this process, so even though Skeletron has a close relationship with the Red Alliance, Nairo doesn't worry about him betraying.
Nairo didn't expect that as early as when Leia went to Hell for the "Grandpa Trial", Skeletron decided to "abandon death and go to red".
However, Skeletron's surrender to the red is not so simple, and it is not enough to rely on the understanding and belief in Datongism. After all, he is not a pure Tragdi remnant, but the will of the remnants of Hadron in the past generations gathered, and then awakened because of the attention of the god of death Li Qi, so that the will of Tragdie's remnants dominated.
Taha, the director of the Institute of Souls, made a suggestion, which was to follow the process of conception of the Spirit, and to mix together all the fragments of Hadlang's will, complete the sublimation, and become a new will. Because the process of sublimation is completed by relying on the Crimson Divine Power, the new will can rely on the Crimson Divine Power to break free from the shackles of the power of death and become a Crimson Heroic Spirit.
Skeletron had some scruples about this plan, and only made some superficial attempts to verify the feasibility. He didn't dare to guarantee that it would still be him Tragdi after the sublimation, and the "sublimation" in Taha's suggestion was the final judgment decree of O'Crimson justice, and it was the demigod Otto's full power.
Nairo turned his face, and Skeletron naturally had no way out, so he could only gamble.
The result was good, Skeletron not only successfully ascended, but also spread the power of the final judgment decree, setting off a tide of soul fire, transforming all of his subordinates into crimson heroes, and burning them on other undead, scaring away the god of death.
Li Qi believes that the power to make Skeletron sublimate smoothly and keep his original will must come from his love for his daughter and granddaughter, and from his hatred of the original world.
"Anyway...... Great......"
Li Qi only felt that he had no worries and could focus on the things in front of him.
The scene before me was not so much a battle as a big build.
The "Fort of Finny" is under construction, and it is only a small one of the several construction projects that revolve around the Heart of the Silvermoon.
The platform that Richie is on at this time is the orbital system console that connects the Floating Fortress of Tegjael to the Void Fortress of Montech.
Several huge rail bridges with 108,000 tons of gold hoop rods extended from the moonbend plain of the Heart of the Silver Moon to a distance of three or four kilometers from the surface of the Heart of the Silver Moon.
Several floating trailers resembling the ones that help warships take off and land support these rail bridges, connecting the ongoing construction of the Tiger Jar Floating Fortress to the Heart of the Silver Moon, the future Void Fortress of Montech.
Hovertrailers tow the wagons and transport supplies from the portals of the Tegjael Fortress to the Heart of the Silvermoon, where they build defenses.
The construction of the Tekjael Fortress is also underway, and the portal is the first to be completed. The difference between a stronghold and a battleship, in addition to size and mobility, essentially depends on whether there is a portal or not. With portals, the fortress has permanent self-sustaining power, and does not have to return to the base to complete its resupply like a battleship.
The portal of Tekjar Fortress is also a technological marvel of this era, at least the first permanent portal in the Fourth Age with the ability to move.
In the past, both the Merchant Temple and the Red Union had mobile portals, which were large enough to teleport entire armies and even warplanes and warships. However, in order to transport a large number of people and materials stably for a long time, it must rely on permanent spatial channels, that is, it must be fixed. Both permanent and mobile, this kind of portal doesn't even have access to the Temple of Commerce.
The one who led his endless mage group, through hard work, of course, mainly relied on Vicky's micro-magic technology and the node furnace of the infinite joint expansion mode to finally solve this problem. Because of the huge energy consumption, only a big guy like the Floating Fortress can afford to serve.
In the first three days, the node furnace and the floating furnace were completed, the shelves of the fortress were erected, it took another two days to build the portal, and after one day of commissioning, the connecting track was laid yesterday, and today the large-scale delivery of supplies to the heart of the silver moon began. In order to ensure safety, the portal currently only transports supplies, and personnel are flying over from the Godfall Plateau for several hours by fast transportation boat.
The entire construction of the Heart of the Silvermoon will be carried out in several phases, and will eventually transform the Heart of the Silvermoon into the Void Fortress of Montech, and then send it out of the main plane barrier.
The main task at this stage is to build the Fortress of Tegjal, which will look like a spherical satellite made up of several facets, such as Dongfanghong 1.
The massive fortress, which is three kilometers in diameter and is estimated to weigh 700 million tons empty, will serve as a defensive hub to protect the Heart of the Silver Moon. It is equipped with a variety of superweapons in the design, each of which has the power to shake the barrier of the main plane.
At the same time, the fortress is also the home port of all the warships involved in the defense war, which looks like a sphere, but is actually a multi-layer hollow design, which can park hundreds of warships hundreds of meters long.
The construction of the Fortress of Tegjael was also phased, starting with the completion of the portal and its operational capabilities, which will eventually become a jaw-dropping sky spectacle.
The construction of the Tegjael Fortress will also be accompanied by the transformation of the Heart of the Silver Moon.
Larger, more versatile, and more powerful protective enchantments are essential, and a mobile defensive weapon system can be deployed using the surface track system erected during the construction of the enchantment node.
When the Heart of the Silver Moon rises into the air, it will also lay various types of armor on its surface. At that time, the lattice engine technology should have been developed, and with the lattice engine and the necessary weapons, it can be driven to operate on the surface of the air and sea, seize the starport, and find a way to teleport from the starport to the astral plane.
If it succeeds, it's the final stage. The Heart of the Silver Moon became a veritable fortress of the Void, galloping through the sea of stars with a massive size of ten kilometers in diameter, threatening the gods.
That was later, the lattice engine, the discovery and control of the starport, and the teleportation to the astral plane, the difficulty of the nodes increased in turn, and the difficulty of the last two nodes was so great that Li Qi did not think about the possibility for the time being.
A few days ago, Sunny Xiaohong, QB and Junior Cheyenne organized a group to visit the Heart of the Silver Moon and confirmed a lot of things, both good and bad.
Finney is asleep because both the Heart of the Silver Moon and her power are suppressed by the Main Plane, and she is relying on her instinctive consciousness to drive the Heart of the Silver Moon upward. However, the main plane barrier was formed after the fall of the Heart of the Silver Moon, and it was impossible for Finnie to drive the Heart of the Silver Moon to directly penetrate the main plane barrier, and it is estimated that it would not be able to rise again after rising above the empty sea.
However, Xiaohong's Crimson Divine Kingdom was originally gathered by the priesthood of the witches, and it was essentially a public Divine Kingdom, Fini became a god, and the Crimson Divine Kingdom has also changed, and a round of crescent moon is taking shape.
When Finney wakes up, it means that she has absorbed the power of the Heart of the Moon, and at that time, the Heart of the Silver Moon will turn into a block of dirt and stone that does not contain any supernatural power, which happens to be the base material of the Void Fortress.
At the current rate, it would take at least ten months for the Heart of the Silver Moon to ascend to the Sky Sea, which meant a long battle.
At the end of the track bridge, the Fortress of Tegjael was still only a prototype with a diameter of only three or four hundred meters, with several bighorn whale guards hovering around, and in the distance were killer whales, and the male shark group flew back and forth from time to time.
In the past seven days, the Dawning Empire has sent many flying boats to reconnoiter and harass, most of which were intercepted halfway, and the rest were also killed by the group of planes distributed over the White Bird Kingdom, and none of them entered the visual distance.
This does not mean that the Red Union can sit back and relax, although the Imperial fleet is still fighting for the Khan Sky Reef, it is difficult to say that it is not a cover-up. The Empire has only a limited number of troops to fight, and other warships are huddled in other empty reefs, planning something, waiting for an opportunity.
A message popped up from the Void Spirit with him, which was sent by Old Hook. The Arrow Kun he was about to command had not yet been completed, so he had not yet been demoted to captain, but as Li Qi's deputy, he was in charge of various combat readiness affairs.
Old Hook's report made Richie raise an eyebrow: "Did they really find their way?"
"It's not clear which road is passable for the Grand Fleet," said Hook Sr., "so it could just be a trick to turn our attention to that ...... Completely subverts the direction of common sense. β
Li Qi smiled: "Our Red Union was born to break common sense, and this possibility should not be imagined." You didn't ask His Majesty the God of War if he had any information on this?"
Old Hook laughed and said: "The first creed of the faith of the god of war is to be loyal to their respective collectives, how can His Majesty the god of war be an intelligence peddler?"
Li Qi retorted: "As long as His Majesty Shuma still has a concrete image and a personified will, it is impossible to fully integrate into His path of faith." He will inevitably make certain decisions that he thinks will be beneficial to him for some specific benefit, including exchanging information to make the course of the war more favorable to him. β
Old Hook sighed: "Cardinal, with you, I really can't fully believe in the god of war, and this time I have to disobey his instructions." Indeed, His Majesty Shuma, through Atlas, conveyed to me his wish to be as ...... as possible Merciful will. β
"I wouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that His Majesty Shuma thinks we have a better chance of winning, so I hope that his men will be merciful. β
"I have a vague feeling that His Majesty Shuma is conveying some kind of dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the Dawning Empire. The Empire's attitude towards this war is something that goes against His path. β
"I don't know the specific situation very well, but seeing that the kid was thrown to gnaw on the sand, I know that the empire doesn't trust the believers of the god of war. β
The reports of the Intelligence Bureau flashed in Li Qi's heart, and they were spelled together with Old Hook's speculation, making Li Qi sigh: "Yes, our goal is not just to defeat the Dawning Empire, the other party is like a hostage-taking bandit, and we have to worry about the safety of the hostages." β
Old Hook snorted, "It's not like it, it is! Just look at where they put the workshop where they built the battleship!"
"Anyway, I see, you just focus on the battlefield. What His Majesty Shuma revealed, I will pay attention to. β
Having ended his correspondence with Hook Sr., Richie felt that a more proactive strategy was needed.
"Harder! harder!"
"Defend with all your might, attack with all your might, don't think about both, you can't do it!"
The distant shouting seemed to slap on Richie's face, making him laugh.
Behind the console, on the edge of the Heart of the Silver Moon, a group of young men and women were training.
Instead of practicing shooting or using melee weapons such as power hammers, they wielded swords and shields, slashing and resisting like knightly apprentices.
Su Enna, dressed in Chilian's tight-fitting training suit, was shouting at the apprentices.
She, Jannet, and Shamal handed over the evacuation of civilians to the First White Bird, and stayed in the Heart of the Silver Moon with their respective White Bird attendants, wanting to contribute to the defense.
Li Qi wanted to go over and tell Su Enna that there was no point in training like this, but seeing Su Enna's serious appearance, he still gave up.
In the venue, Yelin, who was on the head, said with a bitter face, "Mentor, why don't you let us practice how to fight with magic weapons and other equipment......?" Chilian clearly gave it to us. β
Su Enna said with a straight face, "You are the White Bird Squire, and your duty is to defend Her Majesty Fini with me!"
"Our battlefield is here, and we will only go into battle when the enemy sets foot here!"
"At that time, no weapon can be as reliable as one's body and soul!"
"And ......"
Just as she was counting, a hovering trailer rumbled past the track behind her with a series of two-hundred-millimeter Thor's hammers, and the tall turrets and thick barrels shook the squire's breath.
Su Enna turned her head to look, and the corners of her mouth and eyes twitched at the same time.
Turning her head, she coughed and said, "Moreover, with your current ability, you don't look like a Red Union soldier at all if you put on a magic guide weapon and pick up a magic guide gun!"
"So, I'm also asking you to start honestly from the basics!"
