Chapter 31: Silence Before the Storm

In just one hour, the living meteorite broke through the three ground defenses of the false empire one after another.

Countless well-laid out fortresses, large train guns, large siege mortars, and various Land Cruisers were not able to stop its advance.

The living meteorite turned into ruins wherever it passed, and its countless massive tentacles wreaked havoc on the buildings of the false empire, rolling up the materials stored in the material storage points and began to devour them.

Soon, the entire area invaded by living meteorites was designated as an abandoned zone, and the manipulators behind the false empire directly used various nuclear weapons to wash the ground in an attempt to kill the living meteorite.

The electromagnetic pulse generated by a violent nuclear explosion is enough to destroy all unprotected electronic components in the vicinity of a nuclear explosion, and the powerful nuclear radiation will kill unprotected organisms.

This also means that after the nuclear weapons have been washed, the surrounding area will be reduced to a dead land, and unless the empire itself uses the integrated area to transform the equipment, it will continue to be a hundred years and there will be no way for organisms to enter, even if it is in an armored vehicle that prevents nuclear radiation.

Whether it is a small tactical nuclear bomb or a high-powered three-phase bomb, all the nuclear reserve forces are used in an instant through bombers, intercontinental missiles, and cruise missiles.

The radiation spread into the clouds and even activated the remnants of some of the three-dimensional defenses that had been on standby, and these remnants were quickly detected by Veroya.

After self-examination, it was discovered that the machines were still powered, and Viroya began to guide them in the direction of Serbia.

Although it is not known exactly what these machines are for the time being, they are still part of the three-dimensional defense system, which is a surprise.

But the Empire wasn't so lucky. In the huge crater scorched earth, the living meteorite was severely damaged by a huge amount of nuclear weapons, but it quickly absorbed the energy released by the nuclear weapons to make up for the trauma, and slowly crawled out of the hellish scene.

However, a large amount of nuclear radiation released by nuclear weapons is also absorbed by it, and although it is impossible for the genes of living meteorites to be affected by this small radiation, living meteorites can rely on this radiation for free genetic experiments.

Nuclear weapons were originally used to destroy resource warehouses in fallen areas during the war years, so living meteorites did not make corresponding changes to this.

Well, so many different nuclear weapons have fallen on the body of a living meteorite at once, which has not only mutated an anti-nuclear carapace, but also constructed a biological template that can be stored in a nuclear explosion.

As long as this biological template is organically integrated with its original biological template, it can also have a variety of characteristics such as high temperature resistance and nuclear radiation resistance.

The living meteorite continues to advance towards the interior of the false empire.

The stimulation of nuclear weapons has given rise to a bit of consciousness, and if the Empire continues this kind of attack that does not severely damage its consciousness, but stimulates its body instincts, then it is likely to regenerate a consciousness in the living meteorite body that has lost its consciousness.

The combined forces of the year originally planned to use artificial consciousness bodies to kill the consciousness bodies of living meteorites, and then render the bodies of living meteorites harmless or throw them directly into the stars.

However, all this was stolen by the South Loya civilization. Because it was stolen, they didn't know that the body of a living meteorite could be resurrected and regenerated as a consciousness.

Now, it is time for the South Loya Empire to pay the price for the mistakes they have made in the past.

After a day and a night of fighting, much of the land of the false empire had almost turned into a scorched earth. Nuclear scrubbing was used two or three more times, but each time it was less effective than the last.

The empire also understood that the living meteorite probably evolved anti-nuclear armor, so it no longer carried out nuclear weapons scrubbing attacks.

As the living meteorites continue to advance, the androids of the empire are transformed into their own minions by the living meteorite, and the cyborg soldiers are also polluted and become half-biological and half-mechanical strange creations.

The monstrous creatures around the False Empire were summoned by the Living Meteorite, some of them becoming its nourishment, and some of them obeying its orders to carry out an all-out assault on the Empire.

The massive sea beasts at the bottom of the sea have begun to attack the fortress world of the empire itself, but are repelled by the empire's infrasonic bombs.

At this time, the high-level leaders of the empire also understood that they were careless, and the real strength of the living meteorite far exceeded their expectations.

However, relying on the fortress world built in ancient times, they still did not panic in the slightest or really paid attention to it.

They are still proceeding according to the original plan, which is to constantly consume the living meteorite with the false empire and then give it the final blow.

Naturally, the ruling class does not want its real strength to be seriously wounded, and internal disputes still need to be supported by their own forces.

After the nuclear attack failed, they began to try to attack with kinetic weapons, and the large electromagnetic railgun began to be charged, firing a cone-shaped solid cannonball composed of graphene.

In a very short period of time, several of these railguns did inflict great trauma on the living meteorite, even penetrating the carapace layer on its surface and injuring its interior.

However, what does not kill it will only make it stronger. Hit by graphene-solid shells one after another, it began to parse the shells, and then began to update and iterate on its own organism's shell.

Obviously, the Immortals of the South Loya Empire destroyed the precious records of the battles with living meteorites when they were cleaning up the dark history.

After a long time, they have long forgotten how to deal with a living meteorite, and they think that living meteorites are just large, strange things with stronger vitality.

There are also large laser cannon arrays behind the electromagnetic cannons, and the non-stop bombardment of these kinetic and energy weapons temporarily suppresses the movement of living meteorites.

The Empire, on the other hand, began to squeeze out the power of the Holy Candle of those descendants of the Candle Cult and used it to inflict an attack on the living meteorite at the consciousness level.

Poor descendants of the Candle Sect, who think they are superior, constantly insult the people who come to arrest them, but they can't change their miserable fate as a tool man.

Such cruelty naturally aroused the discontent of the opposition, and different voices began to emerge within the empire around the true descendants of the Candle Sect, as well as the young Zhuang faction in the army.

。

The Duchy of the Acropolis, in their harbor, the large transport ships are ready, and all the personnel, except for those who are still holding the high walls of the abyss, have all packed their belongings and are ready to embark on the relocation journey.

In view of the fact that the false empire is under attack, the Southern Loya Empire has arranged for the Acropolis Duchy to be a small continent in the eastern part of the empire. Anyway, the Duchy of the Acropolis doesn't know what the land he promised before looks like.

There are plenty of resources on this small continent for the people of the Acropolis Principality.

Prior to this, the Empire's facilities here were only a few large-scale resource gathering plants and supporting integrated production plants, so they were basically in a state of reclamation.

However, in order to show its sincerity, the empire sent more than 300,000 construction machinery to carry out an emergency renovation mission for a week, which was barely enough to build several residential areas and planting areas.

Of course, this is barely compared to the empire itself, and for the people of Middle-earth, this is a three-dimensional integrated planting area.

There are not only lifting canopies, but also various automation equipment.

There are also steam power towers, a red mercury mine, and supporting small factories. Of course, there are many underground swap systems that need to be built by the people of the Acropolis themselves.

The people of the Southern Loya Empire did not know what the people of the Acropolis needed in the principality, so they left a large number of tools and materials.

Three days later, the soldiers planted bombs on the abyssal wall, and when the Zerg in the abyss attacked again, these installed bombs began to explode according to a certain law, and finally blew up the abyss wall.

The shattered stones continued to fall, temporarily halting the Zerg attack, and the last group of people from the Duchy of the Acropolis took advantage of this time to hurriedly board the transport ship to their new homeland.

At this point, no one exists in the Acropolis Principality, and the outside world may need to wait until the Zerg has spread out in a large area.

The closest to the Acropolis was the front line of the battle between the Rhine Alliance and the Cang Dynasty, and the Cang Dynasty was protected by the Far Eastern Fortress on the border near the Acropolis Principality, but the Rhine Alliance had nothing.

A day later, on the ruins of the high wall of the abyss, the first Zerg scout stood up, and after confirming that there was no danger around, a large area of scouts began to spread rapidly in all directions.

The Zerg quickly found a solid place to start nesting, and the huge Bug Queen remained inside the abyss. Now the Zerg are multiplying their populations.

When they decide to expand their territory, then it is an unstoppable ocean. How would such an ocean change Middle-earth? Now no one knows.

But at least the former empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Imperial Guard Wall.

。

The Principality of Bolier, a forgotten place, a neglected transition.

Of course, this is not the only Pure Land left in the World War, nor is it a powerful and mysterious country like the Acropolis Principality.

In fact, long before the outbreak of a full-scale war in Middle-earth, it was already in the midst of war.

The two different royal bloodlines were supported by the Kingdom of Rothil and the Holy Kingdom respectively, and began a civil war that lasted for years or even more than a decade.

However, this country can be said to be deeply influenced by the southern countries, and the civil war has been fought for so long, and the number of casualties on both sides is close to the strength of a division, and there are too many non-combat attrition among them.

These Boliers, who are full of artistic and gastronomic cells, would be unaccustomed to the soil because they ran from the north to the south or from the south to the north, which was something that neither the people of the Kingdom of Rothil nor the Holy Kingdom could have imagined.

Thus, in the midst of this protracted civil war, both sides initially painstakingly trained the troops of the Principality of Borel and armed them with sophisticated weapons.

However, in the end, it only led to a few "great wars" that were "singing and crying", and the two sides that originally planned to completely eliminate the supporting forces of the other side and then control the principality completely lost any hope for the principality.

As long as the forces that you support don't collapse.

Therefore, when the Kingdom of Rothil and the Holy Kingdom went to war, neither side took care of the Duchy of Bolier, and the Holy Kingdom directly used the channel to fight the Kingdom of Rothier.

The subspace loopholes that are now appearing on the border obviously affect the Principality of Bolier, and without the protection of the Holy Kingdom or the Kingdom of Rothier, how can the Principality's own Feira's unbearable army resist the invasion of the subspace?

So, of course, the two royal bloodline factions abandoned a large number of Ziming, and all hid back in their lair to seek help from their respective backgrounds, giving up the entire central part of the principality, and the army naturally did not stay in these places.

They can throw away their land at will, but how can the people of the central principality throw away their land at will? They were soon slaughtered by strange creatures, and the invasion of the subspace further turned the place into a hell.

All this activates the long-dormant hussar legions, led by a descendant of the entire Bolilian royal family, to fight back against the monstrous massacre of civilians.

Here I have to say that the predecessor of the Principality of Bolier, the Kingdom of Bolitaua, was able to wrestle with the Kingdom of Augustus, but unfortunately it was defeated in the end, and the bloodline of the royal family was preserved by means of marriage.

The land of the Principality of Bollier today is not actually the place where the Kingdom of Bolitauis began, but the place where the hussars and the kingdom's army fought against the Teutonic Knights, the Iron Cross, and the Augustus Heavy Infantry.

The defeated Politawis Kingdom naturally would not be willing to lose, and although the Kingdom of Augustus was victorious, the losses were also very heavy, so with more compromises, the powerful hussar legion was temporarily sealed.

It's just that later generations of Bolier dukes forgot about this hussar regiment, and after the fall of the empire, few people remembered. Although the high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom heard about it, they did not take it seriously.

Now that the hussars have broken through the ground, the ancient royal bloodline that has been in the seal for a long time has gone mad, although the ancient royal bloodline will order the hussar legion to protect the people of the Duchy of Bolier.

But it would also order the slaughter of any Hanoverian bloodline of the Kingdom of Augustus, even if the slain had no idea they had it.

This out-of-control ancient legion will make Middle-earth unpredictable once again.

。

In a secret laboratory in Serbia, Kirsten and Viroya are studying the small Gaia Crown they brought back from the sea.

As for the machines that have been stimulated by nuclear radiation and have restarted themselves, they are still on their way. Although they still have momentum, they are still damaged, and in order to avoid secondary damage, Viroya only allows them to move at the lowest speed.

So it won't be there for a while.

"By the way, what the hell is the Crown of Gaia? I always thought it was a power station, and by the way, it served as a storage function. Kirsten tinkered with the machine for a long time but could not understand it, so he sat down to rest.

"Yes or no, the Crown of Gaia is actually an attempt at a new type of technology, designed to allow humans contaminated by living meteorites to reintegrate into the world.

Among them, it is the alchemy principle that Aishuur and the ancestors of Middle-earth jointly studied, and can ask for the separate existence of living meteorites. Viroya replied as she repaired the badly damaged wiring with her special magnifying eyes.

"What principle?" Kirsten asked curiously.

"I know I said it a long time ago, okay?" Viroya replied angrily.

"Okay, okay. So this thing is the equivalent of a small living meteorite? ”

"It's pretty much the same, but it continuously obtains energy from the annihilation in the rift between subspace and this space, rather than directly extracting energy by controlling the part that merges with the planet, which means that there are still a lot of limitations

For example, if someone sets up a large absolute space blockade, then the Gaia Holy Crown may not be able to continue to provide energy. ”

"So, what's the matter with that Unified Knight armor hidden inside the Crown of Gaia?"

"Well, this may have been brought in by someone later, the storage space was originally designed to be used to charge the energy compartment of the aerospace battleship, who knows why they put the general-purpose humanoid war mecha in it."

"Universal? You say this kind of mecha is mass-produced? How is this possible, and how can ordinary people withstand such mental pressure? Kirsten asked, frowning.

You must know that when she controlled the Unified Knight's Armor, the powerful pressure of just a few minutes made her bleed and painful. If this were an ordinary person, wouldn't it go directly to the Western Heavens?

"Just as the weakest alchemists in the past are now at the level of mechanical sΓ©ance, the world has become fragile, and the creatures living on it have naturally become fragile."

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€

"Well, I'm connecting this link... Hey, it's done! ”

As Viroya spoke, the small metal orb began to glow blue throughout, and then the broken area began to slowly repair itself.

"With this, we don't have to rely on the power plants of the South Loya Empire to provide energy!"

"But this thing still needs a steam power tower to provide energy, right?"

"Hey, hey... That's up to you, you know the most about steam technology. Veroya said.

In the following days, Kirsten began to plan the construction of the steam power tower, of course, in order to avoid people's eyes, the core was still built by Kimchi and Reinhardt.

Not long after poor Kimchi returned, he was taken away as a coolie before even his arm had fully recovered. However, Felian Vinoer and Kirsten still compensated him for this.
