Chapter Eighty-Three: Mecha Warehouse
"Badge of Truth?" Gerante took a closer look at the badge in Tim's hand. The Shingon Badge was given by the king at the time of the founding of the Kingdom of Reims to Davion Ekka, the first patriarch of the Ekka family and the first lord of the Burning Fire Province, and his younger brother Assel Ekka, as a symbol of the family. The Shingon Badge has the same sacred liliang as the Knights of the Five Dragons, which is said to have been crafted from meteorite iron falling from the Celestial Realm. Through the liliang of fighting energy or magic, it can burst out with powerful destructive power.
"The Truth Emblem can multiply the Dou Qi and magic we cast, enough to destroy everything here. Tim said as he placed his hand on the badge and infused her wind magic into the badge.
"Uncle Geraint, shall we come too?" said Joshua as he injected the fighting energy in his body into the mantra badge.
"Now it's time to start, and everyone is going out together. Tim held up his badge and pointed it at the monster fossils. The Mantra Badge emits a powerful beam of light, making loud noises wherever it hits. The original monster fossils of different shapes were all shattered into dust in an instant.
"What's going on! Why are these monsters petrified all of a sudden?" came the shouts of the mountain hunters outside, "Oops, that's boring. We haven't gotten used to it yet. All at once, these monsters were reduced to rubble. ”
The monster fossils in the scorching rift were all destroyed, and the volcanic monsters that raged in the rift were also wiped out in an instant. "Haha! We're victorious!" Joshua shouted, and Geraint let out a sigh.
"Now that the monsters here have been dealt with, then we are fine. The Mountain Hunter Commander beckoned his men to mount and leave, "I hope we won't have any more opportunities for this kind of cooperation." ”
"I hope that one day you will be on the side of justice. Tim smiled.
"It's a bit tiring after a long day of fighting. Let's go back soon!, I wonder how nervous Frem is?" Joshua muttered.
"I'll take the Dragon Eagle back to Red Earth Town to report the good news to everyone, you can rest where you are before walking back. There's a trail near Mount Isaro that also gets to Red Earth, and it's a bit smoother. With that, Tim mounted a dragon eagle and flew out of the scorching rift.
"Well, it's boring for Sister Tim to leave like this. Joshua thought to himself, "Sister Tim is very cute and gentle, and it is much better to walk with her than to follow Hernar, a woman who is fierce all day long." ”
"Ahh
Joshua and his party defeated the monster with great difficulty, and began to return to a new path pointed out by Tim. Due to the long battle with the volcano monsters, everyone is already tired. Joshua and Hannar also don't have the strength to fight each other as they used to. Now everyone has only one goal, and that is to rush back to Red Earth Town as soon as possible, take a good shower, and then rest for a few days.
"I don't know how things are going on on Lord Frem's side, Scorched Ridge is very close to Flame Chasing City, and I'm really worried that they will encounter the people of the Red Dragon Knights. Joshua muttered.
"Master Frem left a day before me, so I guess I'm back in triumph!" replied Geraint.
"Oh, how do you feel that the temperature on this road is also very high, not much better than the scorching rift. It's so hot for me!" Joshua grumbled as he hurried.
"The trail is very close to Mount Izaro and of course it will feel a little hot. A few steps further would be better. Gerante said.
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, Hanar stopped the crowd. It turned out that she had found a very hidden complex at the foot of Mount Isaro.
"Huh, how can there be such a strangely shaped house at the foot of the volcano?" Joshua looked closer, "Oh, everyone be careful. Why are there so many people guarding the house?"
"Hmm, judging by the signs, it should be someone from the Red Dragon Knights. Geraint noticed that the house was surrounded by heavy infantry wrapped in thick armor, as well as dwarven shieldmen. They walked up and down the perimeter of the house, heavily guarded.
"Since it's the territory of the Imperial Knights, are we going to find a way to wreak havoc on it?" Joshua smirked.
"This group of soldiers looks very well armed, and there is no way we can rush in with just a few of us now. Hannal said, shaking her head.
"Wait a minute!" Joshua suddenly remembered something, and pulled out an iron plate from his pocket, which they had found earlier from Jeff's wallet at Red Rock Beach. "Volcano Research Institute Pass! Could this be the place where this iron plate is written?"
"Seems to be true!" Geraint looked at the iron plaque carefully, comparing the pattern depicted on it to the house, "The outermost house is exactly the same as the one on the pass." It seems that this is the Volcano Research Institute of the Imperial Knights. ”
"Hey, what are we waiting for, let's go in and have a look!" Joshua beckoned the group to walk towards the graduate students.
"Who are you?" As soon as they reached the entrance of the institute, several hoplites blocked their way. They held spears in one hand and shields in the other, and looked very fierce.
"We are non-commissioned officers under Lord Jeff, and we have been commissioned by Lord Jeff to do something in the Institute. Here's our pass. Joshua handed the pass to the Volcano Institute to the hoplites.
"It's Lord Jeff's cronies!" said several hoplites, returning the pass to Joshua, "Since you are on official business, then we will not disturb you." ”
"Well, we'll be sure to report to Lord Jeff about your faithful guards here. Joshua laughed. Together, everyone successfully infiltrated the Volcano Research Institute.
Walking through the door, Geraint began to survey the institute's buildings. The Volcano Institute is located close to the foot of Mount Isaro and is surrounded by rocks. If it weren't for the appearance of the soldiers of the Red Dragon Knights, it would have been difficult to arouse the minds of passers-by. The buildings of the institute are arranged in a straight line, next to the foot of the volcano, but there are corridors inside the houses that can be connected to each other. Such a structure is very easy to hide.
"What is the purpose of the Imperial Knights to build a volcano research institute here?" Geraint thought, "Is it for the study of those volcanic monsters?"
The group entered the first room first. The room wasn't very spacious, but there were rows of machines standing up on the walls, and lots of fuel and gunpowder piled up in the corners.
"I'm just going to say this pass will work, right?" Joshua laughed.
"Why isn't there anyone here?" said Hernar, looking around, "I wonder what they're for?"
"This must be a warehouse, you see so many explosives piled up. Joshua walked up and down the room, observing the contents inside.
"The Red Dragon Knights' main combat force is some mechanized troops, and it is likely that this is the warehouse they use to store strategic materials. Geraint thought for a moment and said.
"The main forces of the Red Dragon Knights are stationed in Flame Chasing City, right? It's still a little far from Flame Chasing City, so many supplies are stored here, and you are not afraid that everything will be buried after the volcano erupts?" Joshua asked.
"It's relatively close to Red Clay Town, maybe that Schroeder guy wants to have a convenient supply when the troops attack, right?"
"Huh, these robots are pretty handsome. Are these all used by the Red Dragon Knights in battle?" Joshua came to the wall and fiddled with the robots.
"Huh? I've never seen these robots before. It seems that Einstein has developed many new types of combat robots. In the future, it will become even more troublesome to face the Red Dragon Knights. Geraint found that the robots were a new generation, very different from what he had seen six years earlier.
"Heinal, can you take a picture of me and the robot?" Joshua laughed as he stood next to a robot.
"It's so rare and weird!" Henal looked at Joshua with disdain, "Huh, why did it move?" Suddenly, she noticed that the robot next to Joshua had moved on its own, and she couldn't help but scream.
