Chapter 672: The Trial Begins
The same black floor, the same "mercury" flowing ravine, just a tall, intricately painted roof.
The members of the "Wave Squad" stood in this hall with a tall roof, and they all remained silent. Until Miss Pori broke everyone's stunned and thinking with a sweet voice.
"It's not teleportation, it's beam traction." Miss Pori pointed to the "mercury" on the ground and said, "We should now go from companion star to planet." β
Miss Pori started and all the team members had something to say.
"This is a civilized world, and you can see the paintings on the roof, which is very infectious." The hairpin stared at the roof intertwined with arches and coupons, feeling the charm of art.
"I've lost a lot of my power, and the Fallen Deal contract has stripped me of almost half of it." Steel Carbon said dejectedly.
"So do we." Miss Pori nodded, and she and the hairpin looked at each other, but did not elaborate.
"What about the sailors?" The hairpin noticed that there was one person missing, so he looked around. After looking for a while, I saw Chu Ming coming from the other side of the hall.
"Hi sailor, what have you lost? Isn't it going to be packed? β
Steel Carbon said hello, he was still depressed, and suddenly losing what he did best could really make people feel weak and hesitant.
At this time, Gangtan suddenly envied Chu Ming, in his opinion, Chu Ming should have lost the least, and the loss of that kind of logistics ability would have little impact.
"Someone's coming, let's go. Look at what kind of world this is. β
Miss Pori saw several shadows appear at the entrance of the hall, these were several people in white robes, and when she entered, she found that they were all very tall, nearly two meters or so. Their skin is black.
"Respected Demon God Fighter, welcome to you."
The dark-skinned people were prostrate on the ground, and when they looked up, they could see that they looked like humans, and two of them had obvious female features, and the black skin had a different kind of enchantment. At the same time, their posture also reassured the members of the "Wave Squad".
What they fear most is to be in a high-martial world. and deprived of the ability to do best, that kind of life is precarious.
"Get up, can you tell us about this world?" Miss Pori said softly.
"Good dear, respected Demon Fighter. Let me tell you about the war between gods and demons......"
The dark-skinned man stood up and began to speak of the civilization of this worldly realm.
This is a civilization that develops independently, one civilization, two intelligent lives. One is the demon race, and the other is the god race.
Like the inevitability of the development of all species, the war between two intelligent beings took place, it was a race war, and there was no possibility of compromise. Both races want to wipe out each other, but. The same evolutionary environment makes their strength very close. Thereupon. The war went on.
Due to the exogalaxies, the intelligent beings here have always thought that this is the case in the worldly realm, and they are lonely until the trialists come to this planet.
Trialists are known as "Demon Fighters" and "God Fighters". They are from the Dark World and the Temple. They are the gods in the hearts of the demons and the gods.
"In a year's time, you will return, and a new Demon Fighter will arrive on the day of the next lunar eclipse."
There was an elder among these demons, and he pointed to the companion star in the sky and said. In the concept of demons and gods, there is the world realm of gods. But the "Wave Squad" knows that it is just a cemetery full of "coffins".
"Faith comes from courage, the most powerful demon warriors will light up the altar, and the glory of the demon gods will illuminate the halls of worship."
The Demon Elder's voice was full of fanaticism, but it also revealed some information. According to this sentence. Only those who have gained enough faith will be able to truly return.
"This time, there are 87 demon fighters coming, the battlefield of the four of you is in the Iron Horn, please help us kill the gods, and let the majesty of the demon god stand forever on the earth!"
The demon elders prayed sincerely. He doesn't know the truth of the Dao, and he doesn't need to know the truth of the Dao. This is the sadness of the lower civilizations, but it is also lucky. Although the Trialist takes advantage of the lower civilizations, it will also promote the development of civilizations, which sooner or later will discover the infinite world outside the world, rather than the natural extinction in the vast universe.
But that was a long time later, and it had nothing to do with them as trialists. All they need to do is to get enough faith to get out of here, and there seems to be only one source of faith, and both the demons and the gods worship the strong.
No trialist would dare to consider this place as a place to hunt for curiosities, a year is not a long time, and it is also the last part of their lifespan for many of them. This sense of urgency also urged the "Wave Squad" to quickly enter Iron Horn and quickly jump into the fight.
The battle was not thrilling, and with its strength and equipment, the "Wave Squad" quickly defeated a force of the Protoss. At the same time, they also saw the race of the Protoss.
The Protoss is closer to human, similar in size and fair-skinned. The handsome appearance is very close to the human aesthetic.
The war between the Protoss and the Demons is a war in the age of cold weapons, and this kind of planet also lacks the necessary materials to make thermal weapons.
At the same time, years of war have also developed the use of cold weapons to the extreme. Not to mention swords, guns, swords, halberds, and exquisitely constructed giant crossbows, mechanically reasonable trebuchets, and so on. All of these things are powerful, and they can also pose a threat to trialists.
At the end of the day's battle, when the full moon shone brightly, the "Wave Squad" gathered into a tent and enjoyed dinner while sharing their harvest.
"One good news and one bad news." Miss Pori had a small appetite, and while drinking the fruit wine after the meal, she said, "The good news is that these demons do treat us as warriors sent by the gods, and when I came back just now, they even stuffed two protoss captives into my room. β
"Sister, it's a man." The hairpin whistled.
"Yes, because I rejected two demon men before, so they misunderstood. It can be seen from this that they are trying their best to please us. Butβ"
Miss Pori looked at the still gluttonous steel carbon:
"But the bad news is that they think we are God's warriors, so we will face the most dangerous situation. Today I saw those trebuchets, and they were not small. Even steel carbon can't stand that kind of damage. β
"I also have good news and bad news." The hairpin wiped his mouth and said, "The good news is that the acquisition of faith is very simple, and you can kill more gods." But the bad news is also the same, the demons' contempt for losers is naked. Even if you are a demon fighter, if you lose the battle. The same will lose their respect and adoration. β
"I also have good news and bad news. It could also be all bad news. Steel Carbon also put down his knife and fork: "The good news is that I have seen other trialists, the trialists of the Dark World Realm are also fighting side by side with us, and at the same time, I have also discovered the trialists of the temple, they are on the opposite side of us. β
"I've seen it too, and it's all bad news." Miss Pori nodded: "The people of the temple will not say anything. The trialists of the Dark World are not our comrades-in-arms, and the only one we can rely on is ourselves. Given our strength, I advise to try not to clash with them. β
Miss Pori's suggestion was echoed by everyone, and the "Wave Squad" was weak, and they should now be in the dark.
But. This is just wishful thinking on the part of the "Wave Squad". Just as dinner was coming to an end. A demon guard walked in. Handed Miss Pori a parchment roll. When Miss Pori finished reading the parchment, there was a hint of panic on her usually calm face. She eased the uneasiness in her heart slightly, picked up the parchment scroll and said:
"The battle plan sent from the Sinking Star Forest and the Three Peaks Canyon is planned to launch an attack on the Protoss tomorrow. The target of the attack is the Protoss Dance Legion on the opposite side. And seek the possibility of annihilation. β
"They're crazy!" Fakkaten jumped up and pulled back the curtain on the wall, where there was a map.
"The Sunken Star Forest and the Three Peaks Canyon are on either side of us, which means that we will be in the middle of the line of attack. Waitβ" The hairpin snapped into his grip as he snatched the parchment roll from his steel-carbon hand. Looked and looked.
"That's right." Miss Pori smiled bitterly, "It's not a battle plan drawn up by the demons, but a trialist in the dark world. On the other side of the Sinking Star Forest is the 'Bright Moon Squad', and on the other side of the Three Peaks Canyon is the 'Fierce Soaring Squad'. They're all in the middle of the pack, better than us. β
"I see, they have a crush on our territory." The hairpin gritted his teeth and said:
"Regardless of the outcome of the campaign, as long as they perform better than us. to gain more reverence. Not only can we not afford to lose, we can't afford to win. If the battle is won, they will definitely take over those turf. As a result, we will be in the rear here, and we will lose the opportunity to gain faith through fighting. β
"If you can't refuse, then fight." The idea of steel carbon was simple, and he lost most of his force. But not yet lost courage. And Steel Carbon is right, this day will come sooner or later.
Just the second day after arriving on this planet, the trials of the Fallen Chapter revealed its cruel side.
In the battle that took place the next day, Steel Carbon was unexpectedly seriously injured. This result also broke the naivety in the hearts of the "Wave Squad" members.
The serious injury of Steel Carbon caused the strength of the "Wave Squad" to plummet, and for the benefit of the team, Miss Pori and Fapka also had to play frequently. Then, on the third day of the battle, they were again severely wounded by the Temple Trialists.
The hairpin was almost dead when he was brought back, and even though he had a special constitution, he was in a coma for two days before waking up.
Knocking out a weak team in three days is not unexpected. Three days later, even the demons thought that these "demon fighters" were no longer good, although they still maintained their respect, but there was less fear of the strong in their eyes.
And the teammates of the "Wave Squad" are also in a depressed mood, and this already unstable squad is facing this crisis of falling apart. If it weren't for the fact that they also had a good logistics master, the squad would probably have broken up.
"Wait."
Chu Ming said to his teammates while preparing clean underwear for them. I don't know if it was his composure or the cotton underwear that played a role, the teammates of the "Wave Squad" temporarily settled down, and they stayed at the back of the battle line, silently watching the development of the battle situation.
On the tenth day of the battle, when everyone thought that Chu Ming's "wait a little longer" was a polite sentence, the battle situation took an astonishing turn.
The "Bright Moon Squad" and the "Fierce Squad" were ambushed by the Temple Squad while jointly attacking a fortress, and the "Fierce Squad" was unfortunately annihilated in the ambush. Unbelievably strong and brave, the Bright Moon Squad repelled the Templar Squad and captured the fortress. Pushed the front a full 20 kilometers.
This battle also earned the "Bright Moon Squad" a huge reputation. It is said that the Demon Elder personally prayed for them and was going to inform them of their names in the war zone. Let everyone celebrate their glorious deeds.
The attitude of the demons is the attitude of the demons, but this battle is unspeakably strange in the eyes of the trialists. In the words of Miss Pori:
"The trialists of the temple lost their land, but they eliminated the demon fighters, and they didn't lose at all. So, it's a win-win. β
Win-win β this conclusion is both bizarre and justified. In this world where there are no rules and no bonds, the trialists are gods, and they can calculate, kill, and betray as they please. This is an explosion of the ugliest side of human nature.
But for the people of the "Wave Squad", their situation is even more embarrassing. The Iron Horn Bay where this half-crippled team was stationed had completely become the rear, and they could only wander in the world of the demon clan all day long, except for recovering from their injuries.
It's too much of a luxury to spend the last part of your life wandering.
Steel Carbon becomes irritable, the hairpin is silent all day, and Miss Pori stays in her room, and occasionally appears with a forcibly strong face.
And the only busy one is Chu Ming, he is still meticulous in doing his own logistics work, when he has nothing to do, he will hang out in the demon clan, and quickly learn the language of the demon clan. (The demons who serve the gods all speak the language of the gods, that is, the lingua franca.) οΌ
If this is also the harvest of the trial, it is too funny, but Chu Ming enjoys it. He rejected the servants and guides of the demons, and went deep into the city of the demons alone.
Most of the time, Chu Ming was looking for those places of interest, and the rest of the time was talking to all kinds of demons.
Over time, even the demons know that there is such a "magic fighter" who is not doing his job, and this "magic fighter" is as curious as an artist, and he especially likes those strange stories that have been around for a long time. And he also practiced to verify those myths and monster legends, and recorded them seriously.
Doing something beautiful with the last life - this explanation is passable, at least much better than the silence of the hairpin.
