Chapter 101: Headwind
"Hey, doesn't it really matter? The man looked like a Sith? ”
Leos looked at Su Qin and his entourage, who were walking behind him, without moving, and whispered to the elven mage Marusilu. At this moment, they were taking Su Qin and the others who had just arrived to the conference hall.
"Now that the situation does not allow us to be picky, no matter what, after signing the Standard Contract No. 3, at least the most basic trust can be guaranteed." Marusiru hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and looked helpless.
After the torches dispelled the darkness, the four of them set out from the top of the tower and descended the stairs. Through the small windows carved into the walls of the tower, Su Qin was able to peek into the whole of the neighborhood. According to Guleos, this towering tower is part of the fortress of Fort Clarion.
The entire fortress is located in the Valley of the Holy Helm, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and in addition to the fortress itself, there is a high wall at the entrance to the canyon that extends from the Horn Fortress. The entire cliff-like wall is made entirely of huge boulders, and these hundreds of tons of boulders barely have a single gap between them. Legend has it that at the height of the kingdom of Gondor, the King of the Sea completed the construction of the fortress with the help of a giant. This fortification has a staircase that directly connects to Fort Horn, as well as three stairs built into the Valley of the Helm behind it, which allows troops stationed in the valley and those stationed in Fort Clarion to quickly climb the high wall for defense.
Both the Valley of the Helmet and the Horn have their own names, the former in honor of the ancient hero Helm, and the latter because the sound of the trumpets from the towers during the battle echoes through the deep valley behind, as if the ancient warlords have awoken up from the caverns of the valley to shout again.
This familiar name and story reminded Su Qin of a set of novels he had seen in the past......
But it seemed to be a little different from what was described in the book, looking at the huge blast furnace erected in the fortress and the white mist that filled the canyon, Su Qin's face showed a thoughtful expression. In a relatively dreary atmosphere, several people made their way through the corridor to the heavily guarded council hall. Along the way, a number of heavily armed guards saluted Leos.
It can be seen that this team has a lot of reputation here.
After introducing themselves, the two sides are ready to discuss matters related to the task. But before that, as is customary, they have to sign a contract.
"In order to ensure the successful completion of the mission, we hope to sign the No. 3 Samsara Standard Cooperation Contract. This is the relevant document, please take a look. After sitting opposite each other, the mage Marusiru pushed his rimless glasses and politely and distantly handed over a contract.
The pact, with the final consul as the third party, has very complex provisions, but in general, all the articles can be summarized in the following three articles.
1. After the contract has been signed, the two teams shall not fight each other in any way.
2. Ensure that both parties to the contract make fair profits.
3. The party who tears up the contract will be severely punished.
"There is no problem with the contract, the consul has just given proof." Huang Quan, who had read the contract and learned relevant knowledge from the seniors of the organization, nodded to Su Qin in confirmation.
"So do you have any additional terms that you would like to add?"
"I have no opinion."
After signing the contract, Su Qin felt that the two in front of him were obviously relieved.
"I take the liberty of asking, are you a Sith?" Leos, a heavily armed warrior who looked like he had endured for a long time, asked Su Qin.
"Not necessarily all of them in black robes are Siths, but I do be a user of the Force." It's actually because of this, Su Qin showed a wry smile on his face, this set of clothes that probably made the wrong style is really a trick, and next time I go back, I must complain to that merchant.
"Whew, that's good." Leos took a sip and his face showed
"Has anything happened before?" Huang Quan asked curiously.
"Last time in the quest world called 'Steam Boy', there was a Sith who became a traitor and tried to join Chaos, and almost killed everyone. That's why Leos was a little nervous. But the world is unpredictable, and in the end, it was this guy who picked up the cheapest. Marusiru spread her hands and looked at Leos.
"Can you tell us about the current situation? The mission message we received was vague, other than to help the team that entered early to arm in the physical realm. ”
"Actually, it's nothing, several evil gods in the war realm on the Chaos side have joined forces to launch a world hunt that each era has in all the worlds of this cone region. Therefore, the consuls had to urgently dispatch a large number of reincarnators to deploy the defense. The high-ranking reincarnators are all confronting evil gods in the water realm or in high-dimensional regions, and Iluvita, the higher being of this world, also leads the creation choir formed by the Enu to fight against all kinds of chaotic evil creatures in the void on the outskirts of the world. ”
After saying this, Marusilu's face turned pale and began to tell about their mission.
"Although, the various evil gods and the larger individual chaos evil creatures are all kept out of the world. However, there are still some Chaos invaders who have infiltrated the material realm through secret methods. They collude with the evil beings of this world and try to start a war to destroy all civilizations and even the entire material world. ”
"If the material realm that exists as the foundation of the Three Realms is destroyed, then the entire world will be so badly damaged that it will not be able to maintain its intact structure and expose the origin to the void, presumably that is the result that the evil gods want."
Su Qin frowned, the knowledge he had gained from the public library had led him to draw very bad inferences.
"Yes, so we must stop the Chaos Invaders."
Leos nodded and began to recount what they had done before. Because the enemy has joined forces with Saruman, the head of the fallen wizards, and Sauron, the Demon Lord, to form an army of darkness like never before. Threatened by this, other races such as humans, dwarves, and elves are forced to form alliances to wage jihad.
Soon, the coalition was shocked to discover that the dark army, which was mainly composed of strong orcs, half-orcs, and various monsters, had been turned upside down by the addition of the Chaos invaders. For example, Saruman's modified and stronger strong orcs, their bodies were fused with a large number of metal armor pieces by some unknown evil spell, and while gaining increased defense, they also underwent many terrible physical mutations.
The relatively short orcs, on the other hand, grew razor-like claws under the contamination of chaos magic, and their bodies were covered in rotten sores like a moving source of virus contamination. In addition to the main forces of these two types of dark armies, the already diverse demons have undergone various indescribable mutations like creatures entering the nuclear radiation zone.
In the face of the powerful dark army's attack, the multi-ethnic coalition army was defeated one after another. In the course of the war, Grey Harbor was destroyed by sea monsters, the Elven Forest was burned in large numbers, and even the One Ring was taken back by the Rings. In order to prevent Sauron from being completely resurrected and accepting the magical knowledge from other worlds provided by Maruhilu, the three elven kings sacrificed themselves to forcibly seal Sauron through the medium of the elven three rings.
As a result, Leos and Maruhiru, who had not been trusted before, finally gained enough say in the matter. Using their own technology, they quickly established a new military system, and after the equipment was upgraded, the coalition forces once had the advantage to push the battle line back to the city of the magic capital. But what they didn't expect was that the Chaos Invaders' own strength was far beyond their imagination. After joining the battle in person, the tall warriors in power armor forcibly changed the tide of battle like monsters.
After the defeat, the surviving humans, dwarves, and elves put aside their racial differences and retreated into the Valley of the Helmets. However, there has been no news from the troops behind the front for several days.
It won't be long before they have to face the coming army of darkness again.
