Chapter 22, The Lost Temple

"My dear Karin, Grandpa misses you so much!" Niselder had no general's majesty in front of his granddaughter. When he saw Karin coming, he left the officers who were talking and hugged Karin with open arms.

"Grandpa! You've tricked me into doing this again, be careful that I won't come back next time. Karin was coquettish in the old man's arms.

"Grandpa knows you're reluctant! Hehe! ”

"Not necessarily!" Karin feigned anger and pouted.

Niselde didn't continue the conversation, put his hands on Karin's shoulders and said, "Come, let Grandpa see how you've become pretty lately!" ”

"Huh! Grandpa, what are you trying to trick me back for this time? ”

"Not for you! I said Karin, you're thirty-one. Oops! Niselde screamed, and when he told Karin how old he was, Karin pinched him on the waist.

"Grandpa, I know what you're trying to say. But you know, I don't like those officers. ”

"I know, so I'm bringing you back this time to introduce you to General George Lucas's youngest grandson, George Lucas Jr."

"I've seen some of his profiles, and he's said to be a genius. Looks, it's okay. ”

"They are a year older than you, and now they are in the sixth order. It is estimated that he will be able to reach the eighth order at the age of 45. ”

"Humph! Not uncommon. ”

"Hehe, anyway, I invited them to dinner tonight, you want to be better!"

"I know, I won't lose the face of the family for the sake of my grandfather."

"Hmmm! By the way, how's that little friend of yours? ”

"The one from the Star of Seleon? Grandpa must have received the information, right? He has officially become Skywalker, the information sent by Descartes himself. ”

"Indeed, you have found another good seedling! I'll take a look at the family next time. Old Kent said, then whispered to Karin, "The people on the side are a little restless, and we need some reliable fresh blood to replenish them." ”

Karin nodded. Although Grandpa didn't say it directly, she also knew about the fights in the family now. Grandpa also let her stay in the front-line army in order not to get her into a power struggle.

===================================================

Lying in the barracks, Lide opened the message from Descartes. A 3D hologram is projected on the wrist, a pyramid-like structure that looks rather dilapidated. At the same time, a mission statement is transmitted.

"Last month, one of our scouting teams came to an uninhabited island while scouting over the eastern ocean of Hunter Continent, where they found a temple that looked like a remnant of a civilization long ago.

Our mission this time is to enter the temple and explore its interior. Based on past experience, there may be unpredictable dangers in the temple.

Because the danger factor of the temple is unknown this time, the default mission level is B. Here's what happened to the temple area that has been surveyed so far"

Looking at the mysterious building, Li De knew that this mission would not be easy. He had heard similar legends before, but in fact, such rumors had never stopped in the army.

Explore the ruins of a temple that can sometimes wipe out one or more elite squads, or make a lucky soldier rise three ranks in a row, making him a sought-after figure in the military. All in all, every relic is both a treasure and a tomb.

After reading the data three times in a row to confirm that not every detail was missed, Li De directly destroyed the data. Sitting on the bed with a stern expression, he didn't think much about the situation of the mission.

The situation of a mission like exploring the temple was something he could not have imagined. He no longer had the idea of joining the army for military pay and female soldiers.

Now Li De has experienced several life and death moments, and there is only one thought in his heart, that is, to become stronger! Only if you are stronger can you save yourself in a cruel society.

He just started his routine meditation, promising to be in the best shape tomorrow and accumulate even a little more strength tonight.

Early the next morning, Li De came to the tarmac wearing a mobile armor. Leona was already waiting there in full gear.

In addition to the two of them, there was an elite squad of six people, standing neatly behind Leona. This elite squad is actually wearing all power armor, although it is a light battle armor, it can also be seen that the combat effectiveness is much higher than that of ordinary combat teams.

As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Cartesian appeared on the tarmac when calibrating. After a brief glance at Li De and Leona and the elite team, he nodded and got on the transport plane. One by one, others boarded the plane.

They flew eastward in transport planes, and in a short time they flew out of the continent and over the gray-black sea. The flight ability of the stealth aircraft was greatly reduced, and it took almost four hours for the transport plane to reach its destination.

The temple is on a small island with a radius of about two kilometers. The island is densely forested, and in the middle stands a pyramid-shaped building more than ten meters high, which is their destination this time, the Lost Temple.

Around the temple, an open space has been artificially cleared, and there is a special place for aircraft to take off and land. There was also a small tent on the edge of the clearing, where a small squad of soldiers was stationed.

Stepping out of the plane, Descartes told the team to rest in place for five minutes to recuperate. He looked at the 3D holographic map brought by the garrison team and listened to the team leader's report. It should be that the unmanned aerial vehicles that were sent into the temple to investigate have new information.

Five minutes later, Descartes walked to the front of the group and was about to speak, when he suddenly turned around, raised his hands above his head, and then quickly waved them down.

Li De saw a cross formed by silver-white energy fly out of Descartes' falling hand, directly hitting the trunk of a large tree next to him.

A ripple-like ripple spreads out on the surface of the trunk, spreading out like water waves. Behind the waves, several tall figures were revealed. That's five Purdo fighters.

El had passed the Templar Trial last week, and he was now a qualified Templar. And his first assignment was given later. He is going to an island to find relics from the heyday of civilization.

So El set out on his journey, flying in a pirate fighter plane for a day before arriving on the island, only to find that there were already humans stationed there. After that, he waited for his people to arrive, and then made a plan.

Originally, El's plan was to let these humans enter the ruins first, and then lead the warriors to deal with the humans on the ground, and finally catch turtles in an urn to eliminate all the humans who entered the ruins.

But that hateful human actually discovered himself, and his strength didn't seem weaker than his own.

The human team and the Purdo warriors are in a stalemate for a moment. Both sides regret that they find that they can't easily eat each other. The atmosphere is getting tense.

Finally, Descartes spoke. "I think we're evenly matched. It's better to stop there and not invade each other. I know your goals are there. As he spoke, he tapped his finger at the temple not far away.

El nodded, and said in standard interstellar language, "Why should we trust you?" ”

"There is another door behind this, and I built yì we separate so that there would be no conflict. As for the danger after entering, no one knows what the danger will be. ”

"Which way are you going?" El asked cautiously.

"You choose, after you choose, we choose the other side." Descartes kicked the question back in.

After thinking about it for a moment, El said, "Okay, let's go that way." With that, he took the Purdo warrior backwards and returned to the jungle.

"Why are we going that way?" After retreating into the jungle, one of the warriors beside El asked.

"The human base is on this side, which means that they are ready to enter from this side. We don't know if there's still a human ambush inside. As for the other side, I just heard it, and that's the entrance that I just discovered. They shouldn't have time to set up traps yet. ”

The warrior nodded in admiration.

El's judgment was indeed true. Due to the weakness of the defenses, the defense team set up a demolition device a little bit at the entrance to the temple. This prevents other creatures from entering the temple in the event of an accident, or from coming out of the temple if there are dangerous creatures in the temple.

The crowd did not enter the temple immediately, but waited outside to make sure that the Poolordin had left.

"What's that?" Lide asked Leona. He was intrigued by the move that Descartes had attacked.

"Cross Slash, Colonel Descartes' skill." Liona said.

"I feel like he's sending that force out and forming that attack." Li De asked in confirmation.

"Yes, Colonel Descartes is a sixth-order powerhouse, and he can send his force out of his body to form an attack skill."

Li De thought deeply, that realm was still far away from him. Now he can only gather the Force in his body and concentrate them in a certain part to increase the strength of that part.

At the beginning, he still couldn't open the small iron box that Mokal gave him, and Li De guessed that he should be able to open it only after his Force could leave his body and enter the small iron box.

Descartes confirmed that the Pooloche had gone far before the defense team disarmed the blasting device. Have the Elite Team carry down a large black box from the plane, and then lead the Elite Team and Li De and Leona into the temple.

The interior of the temple was dark. Everyone turns on the lighting on the helmet.

Descartes made a gesture, and the two members of the elite squad stepped forward to clear the way, while the others followed the tactical formation, weapons in hand, and marched inward along the only path.

A group of people walked forward about two hundred meters, and Li De could feel that they were heading in a certain direction underground. The temperature is very low and the air is quite turbid.

Even with night vision, the field of view is restricted. The team basically stopped at three paces, and walked quite slowly.
