Chapter 973: The Great War is on the Rise
At the gates of the city that never falls, Zero and Douglas change to another car. It was an elongated sedan with a dragon going to sea on its door. This is Long Hai's car, and only VIPs can ride in the car. As for Yeliu, Haiwei and the others who came with Zero, they continued to drive two off-road vehicles and followed the stretch car into the city gate.
The gates were open and paved with a straight concrete road. The highway refers to the urban area that does not fall into the city. The buildings of the city are basically antique, and the colors are mostly bright yellow and vermilion. The main road, Suzaku Street, runs through the north and south ends of the city, and reaches the palace of the royal capital. As the convoy walked along the road, it was not difficult to see the buildings on both sides affected by the fighting. Many of the buildings were damaged, and the houses were damaged, and the soldiers who did not fall into the city were helping them to recover valuable things from the houses and send them to the shelter in the center of the city with their owners.
Although the city of Buluo was hit hard, its vitality was at the end of its life, and the operation of YiqiΔ was still in order.
Most of the civilians in the city are black-haired and yellow-skinned Asians, but there are few dark-skinned blacks or high-nosed and blue-eyed Persians walking the streets. Paying attention to Zero's gaze, Long Hai said softly: "Our continent, after the day of the Cataclysm, formed two major forces with the Eternal Mountain Range as the boundary. One is Qin, which we regained the imperial system, and the other is an alliance composed of large and small countries in East Asia in the past. β
"Those black monsters came from the sea and attacked the East Asian Alliance first. The Grand Duke of the Alliance, Afar, was killed in battle, and the people had nowhere to go, so I ordered the border posts to be opened and allowed to take refuge in our borders. It's a pity that the enemy's military strength is too strong, and our Qin's army is losing and retreating, and the city has fallen, so in the end, we can only let these people retreat into our national capital. Long Hai sighed and said, "I know that there are still many people who have been displaced and have not been sheltered by me. But now in this situation, Qin's national strength is limited, and more resources are used in the war, and there is no surplus materials to relieve these people. β
"To be able to do this, Your Highness has done a pretty good job. Douglas smiled.
Long Hai smiled bitterly: "Both of them are top powerhouses, and their strength is still above Long Hai. If you can afford to look at Long Hai, don't call me Your Highness anymore, this seems distant. Speaking of which, I still feel ashamed. Listening to the tone between the lines of the two people's words, it seems that they know the identity of the invading thing. I'm the emperor of Qin in vain, and that monster has been rampant on this continent for a while, but I don't even know what it is. β
"It's called Prosius, and we'll talk about it later. Zero said, and looked out the window, the Imperial Palace had arrived.
At the gate of the palace, Qin's generals and high-ranking officials were all available, and they were outside the steps of the gate. Even the former officials of the East Asian Alliance who had fallen to Qin, there were many people present, and they all wanted to witness what kind of person had such great ability to solve the danger of the fall of the city.
When he saw Zero who came down first from Long Hai's car, all the officials, including Mu Wu, showed incredible expressions. Because Zero was too young, this handsome man was slender and couldn't see anything strong in the slightest. But if you look at Zero's golden eyes, everyone feels like they have been swept away by the morning light. A powerhouse like Mu Wu, whose combat power had advanced to the tenth order, felt it even more deeply, and when he was swept by Zero's gaze, Mu Wu felt that the energy in his body was faintly agitated.
It was an instinctive reaction from the body's feeling of a threat, but he had never felt this way even when he stood in front of Long Hai. However, in front of this seemingly thin young man, Mu Wu had a feeling that he couldn't hold back and wanted to attack first.
It can be seen that the strength of this handsome man is still above that of Long Hai, although it sounds incredible, Mu Wu believes in his feelings.
Next up is Douglas, who is often in a high position and is a top powerhouse in his own right. is just wearing a military uniform, and his words and deeds have the taste of iron-blooded battlefield. If the feeling of zero is unfathomable, then the feeling that Douglas gave Mu Wu is absolute toughness.
This is exactly the same as the emperor's domineering spirit on Long Hai's body, which is the feeling of fierceness and arrogance.
The eye contact with Douglas was by no means pleasant, and generals such as Mu Wu and others felt a slight stinging in their eyes, and as for the civil officials like Baiting, their eyes were already red and tears were pouring out. Seeing this, Douglas said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just came down from the battlefield, and my murderous aura is a little too big." β
He restrained his breath slightly, and the tough momentum on his body was not too obvious. Long Hai didn't care, and invited Douglas and Zero and others into the hall with a group of officials. Zero walked behind Douglas and at the front of the crowd. Unexpectedly, before he moved, he heard Haiwei's voice behind him: "What are you going to do!"
There was a hint of anger in Haiwei's tone, which surprised Zero. He stopped and looked back, only to see Haiwei in front of Yeliu, and in front of the two girls was a man with a strong literati atmosphere. His eyes almost lit up, and he looked at Yeru with some kind of fanaticism. The man's face was flushed, obviously excited, only to see him pointing at Yeliu and trembling: "That's right, it's you, it's you." I thought I was dazzled, but it doesn't seem to be, I really didn't admit it!"
Long Hai frowned, in front of the important guests, his subordinates were so out of shape that he felt disgraced. He shouted at the moment: "Qiu Ze, what are you doing!"
"Your Highness!" Qiu Ze pointed at Yeliu and said, "Look at her, this is Pioneer No. 1." Look at her, she is the No. 1 that Dr. Wang secretly took back then!"
When Long Hai heard him say this, his eyes fell on Yeliu's body. Sure enough, except for the outfit, Yeliu looked exactly like the other pioneer girls. Qiu Ze exclaimed excitedly at this time: "Pioneer No. 1 is my Qin's precious property, looking at the appearance of this pioneer girl, she seems to have her own will. Your Highness, this is definitely an important specimen for study, and I request that No. 1 be brought back to Room 1 immediately. I can't help but want to see what kind of changes have happened to her brain structure!"
As soon as she heard this, Hai Wei's face changed, and Yeliu moved her fingers lightly, and strands of black silk threads had popped out of her fingertips. Zero's eyes grew cold, and he didn't see how he moved, and suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Ze's eyes. This startled Qiu Ze, and the whole person couldn't help but sit on the ground.
Zero stretched out his hand and gently landed on the back of Yeliu's hand, and Yeliu understood and put away the energy thread. Zero Cai said to the fanatical research director: "First of all, this girl is not called Pioneer No. 1, her name is Yeliu, and she is my important partner. Second, whether or not she really has anything to do with your so-called pioneer girl. But to me, she's Yeru. It was, it is, and it will be the same. So, if anyone dares to hit her idea, I will not hesitate to unscrew his head. β
"My companions can die on the battlefield, but if anyone wants to take them to the real stage. Then, no matter who the other party is, I will kill him by all means. After Zero finished speaking, he slowly looked towards Long Hai.
Long Hai's eyes flashed, and finally he smiled bitterly: "Qiu Ze, from now on, there will be no Pioneer No. 1. Remember, that is also our important friend, Miss Yeruo. β
Qiu Ze jumped up and said unwillingly: "But ......"
"Enough. Long Hai waved his hand impatiently, "Do you want to question my decision?"
Only then did Qiu Ze bow his head and say, "I know, Your Highness." β
Only then did everyone continue to move towards the palace, and Zero patted Yeliu on the shoulder, and only then did he catch up with the crowd in front of him. Qiu Ze was bored, and fell behind the group, intending to return to the research center first. Suddenly, the light around them dimmed, and it turned out that Yeliu and Haiwei were standing on both sides. Qiu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Yeliu say: "I want to know what a pioneer girl is." β
Qiu Ze lost his voice and said, "You don't know your identity?"
Yeliu's little face was expressionless: "I probably ...... Amnesia. β
Zero, who was walking in front of the crowd, moved slightly in his heart at this time, looked behind the crowd without a trace, and saw Qiu Ze letting Haiwei and the two girls leave the crowd as if they were holding them hostage, and they didn't know where they were going. Haiwei turned her head, blinked when she caught Zero's gaze, and made an "OK" gesture, leaving Zero speechless. He shook his head and ignored them. Anyway, the cruel words just now have been put aside, as long as Long Hai is not a fool, he will never touch Yeliu.
Even if Yeliu is really some kind of pioneer No. 1.
In the main hall, Long Hai strode in, followed by Zero and Douglas, and then down were Qin's officials and some of the generals and strongmen under Zero and Douglas himself. Among them, Ansula is also impressively listed. This time Zero brought him over, ostensibly forging an identity for him. Although Ansula is a different species, he looks like a human, and when he puts on a long coat and hat and stands at the back of the line, not many people notice him.
Qin's officials and the powerhouses of the other continents stood on two sides, while Long Hai, Douglas, and Zero Three walked to the middle. Long Hai made a gesture, and the ground of the main hall shook slightly, and the abutment was raised, after rising to a height of meters. In the four directions of the abutment, there are laser catapults and staggered to form a three-dimensional map. Long Hai stretched out his hand and swiped the map, bringing it to the area north of the Eternal Mountains.
With both hands left and right, the map expands, revealing a vast flat landscape.
Zero frowning, nature is not so evasive flat landform, this is almost like being transformed by countless engineering vehicles. He muttered, "This is ......"
"The territory of the East Asian Alliance, but now you have seen it, it has been reorganized by the invaders. Long Hai said in a deep voice: "Forests, hills, cities. Whatever could be removed had been wiped out of the land, and the invaders had changed the landscape and ......"
He snapped his fingers, and four light screens were lowered from the dome above the crowd, so that anyone in any corner of the hall could see it. The light screen flashed twice, and the picture began to appear. First of all, the scorched earth, the flat ground showed cracks of different sizes. These things, which are like the veins of the earth, shimmer red from time to time, like the blood of the earth flowing in them. The screen moves forward, and a rotating pillar of cloud crashes into the screen.
From time to time, a red halo of light would light up in the cloud pillar and rise upwards. When the camera is raised, it's not hard to see a column of clouds connecting to a tumbling storm cloud in the sky. The white light in the pitch-black storm cloud exploded, and sometimes it converged into huge spots of light, like the eyes of a demon god!
When the lens zooms out, you can see that there are hundreds of pillars of clouds connecting heaven and earth, covering the vast land.
"As you can see, this is the last time our scouts have captured the territory of the East Asian Alliance before the Black Legion attacks us. One phenomenon worth noting is that the storm cloud should have been located in the ArΓn Islands before the intruders appeared. But as the war went on, it had drifted to the mainland. It's impossible for a natural cloud to linger in one place for months, so I think it might be some kind of creature. Long Hai said this, looking towards zero.
Zero and Douglas looked at each other before nodding and saying, "That's Prosius." That is, as I said, the common enemy of all life. β
In the main hall, Qin's officials were talking, obviously they had heard of this kind of thing for the first time. Mu Wu stepped forward and said, "My lord, can you please tell me more about this...... Prosius?"
"My name is Zero, and I'm from the Middle-earth continent. On that side is Blackwing, the chief of the Knights of Rome on the Western Continent, and we have crossed the ocean from different continents to this land on the east side of the planet for it. Zero pointed to the storm cloud on the screen: "Prosius, who once destroyed an era of civilization, feeds on the energy of the planet, and is the enemy of a life in the universe!"
Next, Zero simply states the identity of Prosius. But even if he didn't say it in too much detail, between the lines of zero, it was not difficult for people on the Qin side to hear the horror of Prosius. When Zero finished speaking, Long Hai exhaled a long breath and said with a wry smile: "In other words, that thing is now extracting the energy of our continent, no, this planet?"
"I'm afraid so. Zero nodded and said, "We've defeated its legions, but trust me, for Prosius." The Creature Legion is nothing more than a tool for it to clean up the planet's civilization, and it can continue to build an army for as long as it wants. So guys, don't take it lightly if you repel the Black Army. Our real enemy should be it, as you can see, Prosius began to extract energy from continents and even planets. If left unchecked, the planet's energy will be depleted and life will die. Therefore, we must take action and gather all our forces to destroy it!"
"The first step was to interrupt Prosius' eating. Zero said categorically.
"But what to interrupt, if, as you said, Prosius is an energy being. These storm clouds are a type of energy, and even those cloud pillars, what can we do to break the connection of energy?" Long Hai frowned.
Douglas coughed lightly and smiled: "It's not that there is no way, the energy impact released by the ability, the missiles and even the explosives of the chariot." Any kind of energy shock would be enough to interrupt Prosius' eating, but it seemed to have a bit too many straws. β
This is indeed a problem, Prosius is an energy life, and it is far more flexible and rapid to mobilize energy than other lifeforms. In this way, attacking one or all of the cloud pillars does not really make much difference, the difference is only in the concentration or dispersion of energy. Considering the power of Prosius, even if he attacked all the cloud pillars, it would not be easy to disperse its power.
"Supercoagulant. One of Qin's generals, Shan suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, we can use the supercoagulant. β
"Supercoagulant?" is something that even Zero and Douglas have never heard of.
Flashing nodded, "Guys, we have a fortress near the Red Blood Hills. The Red Blood Hills are a volcanic belt where occasional volcanic eruptions can form foehn winds that impact fortresses. In order to neutralize the high temperature winds, we developed a type of frozen material called a supercoagulant. It can cause the velocity of the gas to drop sharply to neutralize the high temperature of the foehn. β
"Those pillars of cloud are both energy and gaseous at the same time. So I think that it is possible to use a supercoagulant to make a cannonball to bombard the cloud pillar, reduce the temperature of the space near the cloud pillar, and thus freeze it. If it is solid, then it is obviously easier to interrupt the cloud column than gaseous. β
"It works. Zero agreed, and looked at Douglas.
Douglas spread his hands and said, "I can't think of a better way, just use this general's suggestion." β
Long Hai immediately said: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, Shan, you have a day's time." Tomorrow morning, we will attack. β
"Yes, Your Highness. β
After Flash's departure, the group discussed the details of the attack. It wasn't until sunset that Zero came out of the main hall. Long Hai arranged accommodation and food for them, who had come from afar. Originally, according to the previous practice, Long Hai would arrange a dinner party for them tonight. But now that the enemy is present, no one has the heart to have fun, so he keeps it simple.
It's free time until tomorrow morning, and Zero is interested in the ancient buildings that don't fall into the city. Long Hai saw it in his eyes and deliberately arranged for an official to accompany Ling around.
"This is the Cheng'en Palace, one of the four halls of the Imperial Palace. In addition, there are three halls of Chengtian, Chengyun, and Chengren...... "The official is also a learned person, and this city and even the palace are retro things." From the name to the layout to the details of the building, it is all about learning. This person talked endlessly, quoting scriptures from time to time, so that Zero could feel the profound oriental heritage of the country of Qin.
When he turned to the square of the Cheng'en Temple, Zero suddenly saw Haiwei sitting on her knees on the stone railing of the square. The little face rests on his lap, and he looks listless. Zero found an excuse to send the official back, walked to the stone fence, reached out and touched Haiwei's head and said, "It's not your style to be depressed, what's wrong?"
Haiwei raised her head, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Boss, I'm fine." It's just a night ......."
"What's wrong with Yeliu?"
"Yeliu already knows her identity, and she is very unhappy. Haiwei said gloomily.
