Bulwark of Light

2022-08-29

The head of the Fortress of Kubao.

Lin Lin, wearing a robe, stood side by side with Zou Hai, and behind them was the garrison of the fortress.

The night of Beizhou is very clear, the bright stars and the blizzard snow overlap, and above the night is the high-suspended [Original Energy Boat], like a giant whale, Rotating slowly, the hatch opened.

Lin Lin narrowed his eyes.

He had already listened to Zou Hai’s explanation and knew the entire process of development that this “mysterious guest” arrived at Gubao.

It’s really not what I imagined.

“He is not the one arranged by Grand Duke Casting Snow.”

Adjutant Zou said with a smile: “I heard that he is a young hero of Nagano Castle.”

“The young hero of Nagano City…”

Lin Lin’s expression did not change. In fact, he had also heard about the upheaval of Eastern Continent, but the guards of Beizhou Fortress did not pay attention to it. These things, for them, the most important thing is the change of the source material outside the fortress giant wall, and the derivative speed of the black hole.

Even cooperating with the mission to investigate Legion’s northward expansion is only a minor matter.

There is no major event outside Beizhou.

It was only because of the death of a divine throne… that the news reached his ears.

As for this so-called “young hero”.

He doesn’t care.

“Set up the source cannon.”

Lin Lin slowly raised a hand, he said calmly, “Give our guests a greeting.”

“…?”

The smile on Adjutant Zou’s face solidified.

With this order.

A source energy cannon in the array above the city head slowly lights up.

“A’er—”

Lin Lin’s voice was condensed into a long line, rising straight up like fireworks, and only when it was transmitted to the vicinity of the Origin Energy Boat, did it slow down. Blast.

The calm and indifferent voice is clearly audible in the energy boat.

“I hope you can give this friend who is going north, a sincere suggestion, where to go and where to go, the farther away from Kubao, the better, this is not the place he should stay.”

p>

……

……

Although this voice sounds like a three-point indifference.

But…very loud.

This sentence sounds like it is for Amel to deliver a message, but in fact, it is meant to be heard by everyone in the cabin.

So Gu Shen heard it too, and heard it very clearly.

He looked at the huge wall that stood half-covered in the wind and snow, and the fortress surrounded by the huge wall… There was awe and emotion in his eyes. The Europeans guard the highlands of [New World] with a stubborn and tough attitude.

The most important “apex” position of the front wing line of defense is the Kubao Fortress.

This is a fortress that stands tall and dangerous lurks on every side, like the point of a sword, like a whip thrown from a cliff.

If one day, the giant wall cannot resist the “source quality”, then this fortress will be the first to collapse.

At this moment.

The head of Fortress City, which was hidden in the snow and darkness, lit up circle after circle of glow.

Gu Shen squinted his eyes…

This bright glow after another was a bit harsh in the snow, but…very beautiful.

He admired the neatly arrayed “headlights” on the ground, and asked softly, “Is that the legendary energy cannon?”

The world-famous ultimate weapon.

“…Yes.”

Amel’s voice was a little complicated.

She tried to explain: “Chief-In-Charge Lin Lin of Kubao Fortress…is the youngest brigadier general in Beizhou. His character is…well, unique.”

Beizhou’s archives are very unique.

Chu Ling’s current [source code] authority has been suppressed by the [Deep Sea] main system, and the information about Beizhou’s files is very limited. Every fortress on the main wing of Beizhou is extremely Important, so the commanders in charge of garrison must be “famous generals”.

Among them, the three most famous generals, and the most well-known to the world, are the three generals: Rusty Bone, White Lizard, and Silver Fox.

The strength of the three Generals far exceeds the “title” in the general sense.

And.

They did not rely on the power of the “divine throne”.

Gu Shen’s expression was as usual, he lightly recited the name “Lin Lin”, this guy’s surname is unusual in Beizhou.

Queen Your Majesty also surnamed Lin.

It’s just… this youngster doesn’t look like the main son of the Lin Family. If he really has the blood of the emperor on his body, he should be guarding the central city, and he won’t be stationed here?

“The origin cannon, welcome guests…Is this Beizhou’s unique welcoming ceremony? It’s quite special.”

Gu Shen laughed, leaning against the window, Enjoy this view.

Amel’s expression was a little ugly.

She had a hard time explaining to Gu Shen… Today’s situation is a bit special.

In other fortresses, in fact, this scene will not appear.

As the [Apostle] of the Queen Your Majesty, Amel worships wherever she goes…because she is the embodiment of the Queen’s will!

But Brigadier General Lin Lin is different.

“He shouldn’t be firing the cannon…”

A’er thought for a while, then said seriously: “Wait a second, I will let him remove the energy cannon. .”

“No need.”

Gu Shen said softly, “Three hundred meters above the ground…almost.”

He stood up , moved his muscles and bones, and the red outer armor that was replaced on his body made a slight crackling sound.

“I just want to try the rumored Origin Armor.”

Gu Shen stood at the tail of the cabin, facing the sky, and at the last moment, looked back at A’er and smiled slightly. It was a compliment: “Let’s go down first… See you later.”

……

……

There was a roaring wind in front of me.

Take a leap.

The gust of wind that assaults the senses went out instead.

The 300-meter-long Kubao night sky was very quiet. At the moment when the source armor clapped together, a transparent mask was placed in front of Gu Shen, and the whole person instantly became light… The core of the source energy was in the night sky. Driven in, burst out the flames of crimson.

Gu Shen’s fall has been greatly slowed down.

For most transcenders…they don’t have the ability to “fly themselves”, and the birth of the source armor is a Divine Vestige.

As long as you wear this armor, you can have the ability to fly freely like a bird.

It’s just that, for Gu Shen, the meaning of Source A is not that.

He has the “Ruler of Truth”, as long as the spirit strength is enough, then the height of 300 meters and the height of 1,000 meters are the same for him… just like walking on the ground.

This is the first time that Gu Shen has experienced the power of “source quality technology”, a New Generation product born by fuseing extraordinary power with existing technology. This is the Beizhou fortress in resisting the collapse of order A hope that can be trusted and relied upon.

This is the power that human beings completely hold in their hands!

The silence of the long night did not last long.

A falling quiet.

It was broken in just a second.

The headlights lit up on the ground, and at this moment, they spit out dark flames…

Gu Shen felt the power of “source quality technology” for the second time .

The “Energy Cannon” of Kubao Fortress is activated.

In an instant, the sky-shattering rumbling sound ripped apart the sky, and the laser shells shattered the wind and snow, shattered the flowing clouds, and swept past Gu Shen not far away, releasing them like a salute. , soaring into the sky, even if it is dozens of meters apart, the blazing high temperature still penetrates the source armor and acts on the skin.

Gu Shen’s field of vision was covered in a heat wave.

He was laughed.

These energy cannons are not aimed at oneself, otherwise, with the military command ability of Brigadier General Lin, this array of cannonball strikes will be enough to engulf oneself in an instant.

This is a “fireworks” show, and the viewer is himself.

The performer…is himself.

The spirit strength was imprisoned by the golden hoop, but Gu Shen’s state of mind was even more calm. He manipulated the source armor, trying to find the “vibration” feeling of [End Flash], at this moment all around the time It seems to have slowed down, the roar of the source cannon is like a broken balloon, and the falling Gu Shen turns into a scarlet shadow.

He fought against the heat waves and blazing winds rising from the ground, and rode the source armor like a falcon. Stay away from the flames and blazing waves… In just a few seconds, the third rank Origin Armor couldn’t bear such a difficult move, and burst out an overwhelmed whine.

The “power” blasted by the Origin Cannon was like an invisible sword, tearing apart the woven coat of this Origin Armor.

After ten seconds.

Gu Shen landed lightly, this third rank source armor has been “burned” to the point of being scrapped.

He gently pressed the button on his forearm, and the red armor that was close to him was shattered, and the crackle fell to the ground.

In the distance beyond the city wall, where the night is hidden.

A youngster, a burly man, stood before the cascading formation of soldiers.

After Gu Shen reached the ground, he took off the Origin Armor mask covering his face, imitating Amel’s hat-off posture, and slowly gave a salute.

A dead silence.

City wall needles can be heard.

“sou”!

A’er appeared on the wall in an instant. The apostle’s face was extremely ugly. The first thing she did after leaving the cabin was to expand the [Frost Kill] field and nervously hold the owl token. , Gu Shen’s performance in the high sky is a thrilling, this is the first time he has contacted and controlled “Yuanjia”, the third rank Yuanjia is not suitable for evasion in this kind of scene.

The most important thing is… She can see that Gu Shen has no intention of using spirit strength to avoid detection in advance.

This youngster, the performance just now, was all based on intuition.

This is a horrible fleshy body perception ability.

At least, when I was in the Deep Water Seventh Layer, I couldn’t do this kind of thing.

It’s just that this operation is really dangerous.

In the event of an accident—

Then at the last moment, she will use the power bestowed by the “Queen”!

“Lin Lin!”

After landing, A’er said in a low voice, and there was a rare trace of anger on his normally gentle face.

Before she could continue.

Over the city wall, the young man in the cloak clapped his hands.

Not a joke, a mockery.

Lin Lin interrupted A’er, he smiled and said, “It’s just a routine welcome from Kubao Fortress… A’er, don’t be angry, I came here like that. Even more how, Judging from the performance of this guest just now, he also likes it, doesn’t he?”

A’er was silent.

She glanced at Gu Shen beside her.

Gu Shen lightly patted the dust on his body, and softly sounded transmission: “Don’t worry, I’m not injured.”

A’er turned his attention to Zou Hai, this is his own previous contact.

There is a vague reproach in his eyes.

How on earth did Zou Hai communicate with Lin Lin… How did he come up with a ceremony like Yuanneng Cannonball? !

“Sorry, Sister A’er…”

Zou Hai from tall and strong was full of apologies, and whispered aggrievedly sound transmission: “I just mentioned it, this is Zhuxue The Grand Duke arranged it…”

Ami was silent for a while.

All right.

She understood why Lin Lin did this… The “visitors” arranged by Grand Duke Zhuxue over the years were all people with “ulterior motives”, and the treatment they encountered after coming to Kubao was also a than a “grand”.

“He’s a guest of Queen Your Majesty!”

After realizing the entire process of development, Amel’s anger subsided a little.

She sounded transmission in a low voice, warning: “Don’t deal with him the way you treat the Sentinel of Central City!”

Lin Lin turned a deaf ear to this.

He slowly stepped forward…and shook hands with Gu Shen.

In the dark of night, the brigadier general, who was not tall, calmly looked at Gu Shen and said softly, “Welcome to Beizhou, this is where weak are prey to the strong.”

……

……

“Your computing power…is better than I thought.”

kept silent for a while Chu Ling, after Gu Shen fell, spoke slowly.

She was sitting in the car of Zero Zero One, with a series of calculation panels appearing in front of her, which were the trajectory of the energy shell strikes, and the optimal escape route… Gu Shen chose the most complicated one , In the short ten seconds of falling time, he chose to circle around the artillery fire that was blasted into the air one by one, and admired the “beautiful view” of each artillery shell when the source energy burst.

This is the worst solution that a “madman” would do.

But judging from the harmless results.

This is another optimal solution.

“It’s not calculation…it’s instinct.”

At the moment of the fall, Gu Shen did not choose to use the “spiritual link”, and Chu Ling also tacitly did not pop up the link Window… She sat quietly in the carriage, admiring the “firework show” that Number One Person brought to her by Gu Shen.

A’er and Zou Hai were all nervous.

But Chu Ling didn’t…

Although she and Gu Shen did not establish a spiritual connection in this brief moment, their hearts were firmly bound together. .

She could feel Gu Shen’s emotions.

At that moment.

It is very quiet.

“In the data I can collect…I don’t see a similar welcome ceremony for Beizhou active energy cannon strikes.” Chu Ling said seriously.

Gu Shen smiled: “Of course…”

This girl who holds most of Wuzhou’s information is sometimes very smart, and sometimes she is like a little fool.

Chu Ling’s eyes were a little confused.

“Kubao Fortress is the most important garrison point of Beizhou Zhengyi. Those who can enter this fortress are true warriors of iron and steel, with strict discipline and strong strength.” Gu Shen said calmly: “This is also the reason why Beizhou does not welcome other visitors… Compared with the life and death experience between the giant walls of the fortress, the so-called gladiatorial training in Nagano Castle is simply a greenhouse. And the ‘transcender’ that goes north from the outer continent is naturally a greenhouse. flowers.”

Chu Ling vaguely understood.

“So…you just deliberately chose the worst route…”

“en. ”

Gu Shen laughed and said: ” Beizhou has a unique survival law, these guys will not respect me because of my ‘VIP’ status. On the one hand, showing strength can reduce unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, those energy cannonballs It’s really pretty when it’s cracked, isn’t it?”

“But they’re really dangerous…” Chu Ling muttered.

“It’s beautiful because it’s dangerous.”

Gu Shen whispered: “A lot of things in this world are like this, it’s inevitable… However, I hope this ‘fireworks show’ ‘After that, the trip to Beizhou can be easier.”

“Mr. Gu!”

A soft voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Looking up, it was a tall silhouette.

Zou Hai, this man who holds the position of the adjutant of Kubao Fortress, looks like a wild beast, but his voice is very delicate.

Gu Shen is still not used to it.

My height is not short, but it only reaches Zou Hai’s chest.

This man is really burly… almost as tall as “A-009”.

“We have arranged a room for you, please come with me.” Adjutant Zou said softly: “The environment in the fortress is rather bad, please forgive me.”

Gu Shen laughed looking at the head.

He walked with Zou Hai and walked in the Kubao Fortress.

In the distance is a huge wall standing tall.

The reason why Beizhou can resist the “collapse of order” is because the humans who arrived here 600 years ago found “strong logic materials” and used them to build huge walls. Walls can absorb the power of order collapse extremely effectively. Because of the continuous spread of the [Old World], the “collapse tide” will arrive every once in a while. Without these giant walls, this power may have invaded the Northern Continent. .

Six hundred years… enough to destroy half a continent.

In fact, the result of the [Deep Sea] calculation is far more serious than destroying half of the continent.

In the face of the “collapse of order”, the five continents are a community of destiny. Once the Northern Continent cannot resist, the power of the “collapse tide” will become stronger and stronger, and after the Northern Continent is broken , the fall of several other continents is only a matter of time.

In other words.

After the giant wall, it is the last home of mankind!

“Gubao is known as the ‘throat of human destiny’.”

Zou Hai noticed Gu Shen’s gaze, he deliberately slowed down, and went a long way with the Eastern Continent The guests who came from the north walked together under the giant wall, the moonlit night was quiet, and the wind and snow rarely slowed down.

“The main wing of the Beizhou fortress, the Kubao is the most prominent ‘apex’, and it is also the point that resists the greatest pressure when the ‘collapse tide’ comes… The elites who investigate Legion are often in When choosing the starting point, I will avoid the fortress, because outside the huge wall of this fortress, it is an extremely difficult and harsh environment.”

Zou Hai’s voice was very gentle.

Gu Shen listens quietly…about the information about Beizhou Fortress, he has read it a long time ago, the Kubao Fortress is indeed the most important garrison point, the name of “the place of human throat”, also Not an exaggeration.

“And Brigadier General has been stationed in this fortress for ten years.” Speaking of this, Adjutant Zou’s face uncontrollably showed a smile.

“Ten years?”

Gu Shen looked a little surprised.

I just met Lin Lin… The appearance of this Gubao keeper is very young, and he doesn’t look much older than himself.

“When I was eighteen years old, Lord Lin Lin came to Kubao.”

Zou Hai said softly: “Three years, three years, three more years. …This year is the tenth year. Of course, Mr. Lin Lin is not at first or the fortress garrison, he is called up step by step to investigate Legion’s top three ‘labyrinth missions’, the first explorer, It is Mr. Lin Lin. Up to now, the planning authority for this mission is still in the hands of Mr. Brigadier General, and the investigation Legion when going out to explore must listen to and respect the opinions of adults.”

Gu Shen looked thoughtful.

The labyrinth mission refers to the “Snow Mountain Canyon” north of the Fortress of Kubao.

This time, investigating the “Maze 38” mission performed by the Legion 2 elite team is one of a series of missions… The number 38 means that the first thirty-seven routes of this mission have all failed. .

And each route exploration may have to be planned into several phases, dozens of phases.

“Presumably you should know… about the general situation of this labyrinth mission.” Zou Hai said sincerely: “That survivor… Elite Captain Hong Zhong, the current mental state is not stable, Tomorrow we will conduct a ‘mental appraisal’ on him.”

“Spiritual appraisal?”

Gu Shen frowned and asked, “Isn’t this something that should have been done long ago…”

Lieutenant Zou was lightly sighed.

“His mental state is so bad that he has been in a coma for three days, so it is delayed until today.”

Zou Hai said softly: “Actually, Lord Lin Lin is not as he behaved. Such indifference, your arrival at Kubao is a good thing for us and for the investigation of Legion.”

The evidence that Hong Zhong took out, the lost sawdust, was judged by [Deep Sea], and it was considered possible From Zhou Jiren’s walking stick.

This is why the Beizhou military invited Gu Shen.

“If possible, I hope you can participate in this ‘mental appraisal’ tomorrow to assist us in our assessment.”

Zou Hai sincerely said: “Maybe… we I can find different clues.”

He stopped when he said this.

In front of you is an old small attic.

It is not easy to find such an independent residence in the Kubao Fortress.

“General…this is a super residence for guests from Central City.”

Zou Hai opened the door for Gu Shen, and a smell of decaying wood came over, he said with a bitter smile: “But over the years, guests from Central City have not stayed here for a long time… This attic is the best place I can find.”

” It’s okay.”

Gu Shen laughed, he didn’t care about the environment of the house.

He is not a man of pleasure. In the past year, even though Gu Shen had a spacious and comfortable yard in Nagano, he spent most of his time in the shrine mountain and Qingzuo. Hilltop cultivation is spent.

In terms of living environment alone, the environment of Shenci Mountain and Qingzhong is not much better than here.

Rest here tonight.

Run the Breathing Technique and fight against the golden hoops, and you will be able to get through it soon.

Zou Hai suddenly paused when he closed the door.

“That’s right…”

The adjutant looked solemn and said slowly: “Mr. Gu, there is one thing that must be made clear to you.”

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Adjutant Zou said with a complicated expression: “Because this attic is not far from Lord Lin Lin’s attic. At night… you may hear some strange noises outside the door, but please do not care. No matter what, don’t open the door.”
