High Above

  Golden Plain and the edge of Nanling City Circle, Yisa Ling.

   All the residents of Baron Isa's territory, which was killed by the Flame Attack, have now been relocated, and the entire territory has been transformed into a forward fortress.

  This place is a small mountain pass protruding from the Baisen Mountains. A fortress is set up in the middle of the mountains here. The artillery fire can radiate half of the golden plain, and the road can reach the surrounding area of ​​Nauman City. It is an important place for the defenders.

  The marching route of the demon army is coming here.

   Guarding this place is supervised by Ian himself, using the unmanned heavy firepower corps created with the help of the Heart of Terra throughout the process.

In the place where Lord Issa's Mansion was originally located, a signal tower with a strange shape was erected on top of the ruins. It was made of blue crystal material, suspended in mid-air under the power of the psychic field, and could not stop Rotating, refracting the sun's brilliance.

   What spread simultaneously with the brilliance were countless signals originating from the void.

Unlike the Earth in the previous life, the electromagnetic environment in the ghostly place of Terra is very harsh. In the ionosphere of the atmosphere, there are even golden-eyed Thunderhawks that use thunder to build their nests. It is not impossible to use electronic signals to network in this kind of place, but it must be grasped All the monsters and sublimators in the territory have to stabilize the spiritual energy field.

In fact, even the civilizations of the pre-epoch did not use electromagnetic signals, but directly connected to the virtual environment. The virtual environment machine gods are the result of the fragmentation and independence of many virtual environment network programs, and their existence also blocks the restoration of The possibility of electronic space in the virtual realm of the pre-epoch, unless, like Ian, he builds his own server and popularizes the soul to the whole people, so that the local area network in one place can be restored.

The blue signal station, called the "Crystal Tower" by Ian, is the signal repeater necessary for most buildings and tools in Ian's territory that need the support of the Heart of Terra—the actual control of the Heart of Terra The range is only around the Yinfeng Territory. Only by building such signal base stations in each noble territory can he perfectly control the production activities of the entire Nanling.

   But now, the crystal tower is shaking violently.

   Not because it was under attack—every crystal tower was protected by a shield of sanctuary—but because the whole ground was shaking.

   "Boom—!!!"

  The ground shakes and the mountains shake, and the sky is full of smoke and dust. This is Ian... No, this is several super firepower "Silver Peak Heavy Cannons" built here by the angry Lord Silver Peak after Fei Yan killed Baron Issa.

Manufactured using crystalline metal technology and solidified by alchemy, the 420mm silver peak heavy cannon does not yet have the ability to self-propelled, so it can only be placed around the fortress as defensive firepower, but even so, its power is extremely terrifying, even with the second ability If a super sublimator is hit directly, he may lose half of his life. If it is the kind that does not pay attention to physical defense, it is not uncommon to be killed in one shot.

The technology of this artillery comes from the nuclear heavy artillery of a certain era on the earth. If Ian hadn’t been unable to build a nuclear material purification plant in a short time, he would definitely use nuclear artillery shells to greet the demon army this time—the army from **** should use **** This is health.

  Now, the three Silver Peak heavy artillery are slowly adjusting their angles, aiming at the distance and firing again and again, like thunder.

The huge shock wave shook the entire position, and the composite ceramic shell casings that had been burnt into golden red fell to the ground, making shallow pits one by one, and the automatic bomb change system and cooling system were also operating at full power, allowing the weapon system to operate in the shortest possible time. most attacks.

   This is also the reason why no one is firing here, because ordinary soldiers can hardly tolerate the environment here even if they wear exoskeleton armor.

The power of the Silver Peak heavy artillery was obviously superior to the firepower of the 19th Legion in Nauman City. The demon army, which was still marching under the artillery fire on the golden plain, suddenly suffered an extraordinary blow-this time, it could carry a 200mm artillery. After receiving the 420mm silver peak heavy artillery, the beast monster's body shattered in a burst of wailing, turning into flesh and blood and dissipating black resentment.

  Its physical body in the physical world collapses, and the essence of the devil returns to the virtual realm. If it wants to appear again, it can only start from the inferior demon.

   But this is not a big deal for the demon army, because the beast monster hatching pool has been set up, and it only takes one day for the dead beast monsters to return directly from the hatching pool and participate in the battle again.

   But the time of day is quite long. If there are a large number of casualties, it is simply a delay of the fighter plane. Therefore, after a short exchange, the demon commander finally made a reaction other than "advancing".

  【Elite Special Forces, to destroy the enemy's heavy firepower】

  Deathknell's adjutant, the deputy commander of the demon army said: [Take those stealth leopards, the fastest speed, our pace cannot be delayed]

  Even if the demon legion ignores the heavy firepower, it still takes time to enter and leave the virtual world, and they are always suppressed by the heavy firepower. The demons can't come freely in the real world without curse soil infection, and the marching speed will still be greatly affected.

  【Follow orders】

  Several fusion demons—From the outside, these are all similar to vampires, with bat wings and smaller horns. The demons they fuse are called "Phantom Demons", which have the spiritual power of optical invisibility and presence stripping.

  Many of the very mysterious bombings and sabotages in Nanling were all done by them. Wouldn't it be easy to sneak into an Issa territory that had been destroyed long ago?

   But when these phantoms really arrived in the current Issa Territory, even the demons were shocked.

  The original Isaland was a commercial town composed of various blacksmith shops and mining guilds. It was not considered prosperous, but it was considered lively, with an endless stream of merchants and craftsmen coming and going. Even though the industrialization of Yinfeng collar has almost taken away all the market share, many people are still buying the ESAB brand they are used to.

  But now, everything has changed. The fortress building made of reinforced concrete completely covers the original residential buildings. The giant cannon fixed by the giant reinforced base is roaring and playing the movement called destruction, and the terrifying high-voltage magnetic storm flow is flowing in the magnetic storm towers. Not to mention people, even a passing fly will be turned into coke by electricity.

   Steel, cement and gunpowder. The craftsman town, which was originally full of life, has completely turned into a cheap and strong temporary fortress at this moment.

nobody. Nobody. Protected in this uninhabited position are two alchemy energy furnaces operating at full capacity, and a blue crystal tower—a prismatic blue crystal floating in mid-air, spreading its influence in all directions , The phantoms can even see that the data signal of the virtual world is being transmitted in every building and artillery.

   There is no doubt that it is the center.

They even saw that the honeycomb-shaped buildings were slowly rising—the covering armor plate at the front of it quickly faded away, revealing the thirty-six rocket launch ports below it, and it slowly adjusted its posture, turning the front Aim at the headquarters of the Demon Army.

   Then, it fires.

  Dozens of rockets dragged their flame tails and flew towards the distance—if it was an ordinary army, it would definitely be a devastating blow.

  【...I originally thought that it would be overkill for us to come and eliminate the Yinfeng collar, but looking at it now, it is really the right choice】

  A phantom murmured: 【How long has it been since that prophet lord took over the territory? This is too magical]

  The devil said that other people's science and technology is magical, and it is indeed a bit magical, but it is just right in Terra.

   Feeling that there was no extra action after that, the phantoms urged the sneaker leopards around them, and activated their optical stealth ability.

  The Stealth Panther can transform itself into a shadow and eliminate all perception to move forward, while the Phantom can just eliminate the shadow. The two complement each other, and they are almost perfect stealth methods.

  They quickly bypassed the defense of the magnetic storm coil, and came to the place where the crystal tower was located amidst the violent recoil shock of the cannon. They buried a large number of high-energy alchemical explosives beside the crystal tower, ignited them at regular intervals, and then quickly evacuated.

  But as everyone knows, all this fell into Ian's eyes.

  Even with the Heart of Terra and the technology of the pre-epoch civilization in the Sequoia Base and the Alien Research Institute, Ian's territory still has two great weaknesses because of its short development time.

The first one is energy: Whether it is unmanned armor or those detection robots, their energy packs and batteries are very expensive, and now Ian himself is paying to provide elemental crystals to supply energy—if you have time, Ian Definitely get the radioactive isotope battery out, at least there doesn't seem to be a shortage of radioactive elements in Terra, the universe is pretty young.

  As for the exoskeleton armor, their power packs are a little weaker because they are maintained by manpower, which is easier to make, but in the final analysis, they are also alchemy furnace cores, which require special alchemy fuel, which is another big expense.

  If it wasn't for the demon army running to the golden plain, Ian couldn't even charge the farther army.

Secondly, the technology of the Yinfeng collar tends to the material world: whether it is rockets, cannons, cloud bombs, light prism magnetic storm weapons, or shelter arrays, etc., all are used to destroy the enemy's body . But anyone who is related to the virtual world like a demon, it is often difficult to exert his power.

For example, the artillery position led by Issa can almost match the heavy firepower of half an army. If it was an army decades ago, even a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood would not be able to overcome it. Can stop their journey for tens of minutes.

  Through fighting the devil, Ian quickly discovered the flaws and weaknesses of his own technology... After all, the Silver Peak Territory is just a territory with insufficient foundation and insufficient technical reserves.

   But it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of time to take it slowly in the future.

  As for now, he has a temporary but almost perfect way to deal with the existence of the Void Demon.

  The price is that they have to suffer losses.

   Must be 'anger and pain'.

  So, after watching the phantom place the high-energy explosives, Ian gave the order: "Explode yourself."

  So, under the inconceivable gazes of the phantoms who hadn't had time to retreat...the azure crystal tower split open.

  Then, the two alchemy energy furnaces next to them began to blaze with light crazily, cracks appeared on the furnace wall, and dazzling swords of light burst out from them, engulfing everything—

  Boom! ! !

  A small earthquake occurred at the junction of the South Ridge and the Golden Plain, and a huge charged mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky.

   At the same time, before the demon army had time to react to the sudden disappearance of the phantom team it had sent there for unknown reasons, an emergency message spread throughout the area of ​​Nanling where there was a Yinfeng collar information base station.

   "The people of the empire, my compatriots in Nanling."

The image of Ian Yinfeng appeared on all the screens. He stood in front of the podium and announced a war in a serious and heavy tone: "As we all know, the Flameland Demon Legion that invaded the Western Region and slaughtered millions of people in the empire We have arrived at the Golden Plain and are approaching our homeland. Perhaps just now, you all saw the scene where the imperial army left the station and headed for the northern defense line."

  "After enduring ten years of special operations in Flameland, no one will believe that this group of **** butchers will show mercy to anyone."

   "We are prepared to deal with the most powerful and evil enemy we will face - but even so, in the first few hours of the war, we have suffered huge losses."

  The image of a fortress town was displayed across the large screen, and that was the Isaland. But unlike the empty Issa Territory in reality, the city on the screen is crowded with people. Next to the heavy artillery, soldiers are busy carrying ammunition and repairing facilities, and some civilians who are grieved by the attack on the territory are also helping. A rare military and civilian fish and water situation.

   There is even a scene where a pair of siblings help: the slightly older sister is helping the soldiers clean the sweat-soaked military uniforms, while the younger brother is also transporting coolant to cool the barrel.

  The slightly younger siblings are working hard to protect their hometown. How can people not be moved?

  However, in the next moment, the flames falling from the sky destroyed everything.

  Accompanied by a sharp whistling, the devil's surprise attack destroyed the alchemy furnace core in an instant, and the explosion brought by the alchemy furnace core caused the explosion of other ammunition depots.

  In front of the screen, whether it is a cook who is carrying supplies, or a worker working in a factory; whether it is a merchant selling on the street, or an explorer who came to Nanling for an adventure but was trapped by the war.

  Everyone was silent, because they were all shocked by the power of the demon and angry at what happened to Isarland.

   "Bitch of Fireplace!"

  Finally someone cursed, and then everyone was indignant, gnashing their teeth: "I really don't want people to live a peaceful life!"

  After so many days of publicity, everyone has already known the strength of the demon army. The opponent does have the ability to destroy the Isa collar and easily kill thousands of people there-but it is not invincible! As long as the Nanling Legion is dispatched, as long as the Yinfeng leader starts to move, he will definitely be able to resist the demon legion.

During the recent period, the existence of the Yinfeng collar and the transformation of the entire Nanling have been seen by everyone. As the earl, Ian has indeed raised everyone's living standards, even the poorest and most helpless. The elderly and the poor, they also generously provided related assistance and jobs.

Especially in the recent period, with the opening of the base station, many grassroots management personnel have been "eliminated", and the managers who directly oppressed the people at the bottom have been supervised, while the middle and high-level people have been imprisoned and interrogated by the Governor's Office on the charge of "obstructing combat readiness". , the political and economic situation of the entire Nanling is very good... If there is no war, God knows how comfortable Nanling people will be!

  So, the most damned are these Feiyan people who are not as good as animals!

   And Ian felt, felt the 'angry thoughts' spreading throughout the Nanling Void.

  People in this era are still unable to distinguish the difference between the AI ​​human form and the real human form—under the fleeting lens, they cannot count how many fingers those people have, and they cannot perceive that the appearance is somewhat similar in form.

  With joy in his heart, he continued to speak slowly: "The destruction of Issa Land is closely related to all of us."

"Compatriots, I believe that we Nanling people have tenacity, courage and tenacity in our bones. We will not be defeated by any enemy, even if the enemy is a big country of Terra - those demons attacked all our cities a month ago, Many of us had family and friends who lost their lives in that attack after attack."

"And you may also know that the Xiahui City under my rule has experienced an attack-an airship fell, and tons of steel fell from the sky, like a meteorite falling to the ground. Any city will not be immune to such an attack. Only by surviving from it...but Xiahui City was not damaged at all."

"This is the protection formation of our Xiahui City. In the future, I will build the protection formation in every town...but that will be later. Now, please recall the majestic figure displayed in that attack." Zi, the giant who guards all the inhabitants of the city."

  Hearing this, some people in front of the screen couldn't help shouting: "Giant of Light!"

   "It's the Giant of Light!" The person who was worried about the invasion of demons thought of the mysterious and powerful Giant of Light, and the haze in his heart also slightly dispersed.

And Ian behind the screen seemed to be able to hear everyone's voices, and he also announced loudly: "Although he cannot clearly announce his identity, I want to tell everyone that this time, including him, including me, everyone Those who are willing to fight for Nanling will go to the front!

   "He's about to step into battle—to defend us from the fiery demons once more!"

   At this point, Ian suddenly changed the subject: "But everyone, aren't you also guarding Nanling?"

"Those who are looking at this silver screen now, no matter who you are, are you not the cornerstone of this society, the people who produce parts, ammunition and weapons and armor, who feed everyone, so that soldiers can fight with peace of mind people?"

  "In this world, everyone is related to everyone, just like in this war, everyone is related to everyone—all of us who dare to resist in the face of the cruel demon army are all heroes!"

   "So, now... let's salute the hero's departure!,"

   "Salute to the soldiers who guard us, to all the people who are still working hard, to all the guardians of peace, and to all the defenders of prosperity and prosperity!"

Listening to Ian's announcement and speech, the picture on the screen quickly switched to the mechanized troops of the 19th Nanling Army Corps and the elite troops led by Yinfeng who were marching. Their sturdy armor and powerful posture made everyone feel oily But give birth to a kind of confidence—a kind of confidence that cannot be defeated!

   And this confidence is the best medicine against fear and despair!

Witnessing this majestic steel wave, those steel armor pieces and parts that were indeed produced by them in the recent period, at this moment, a sense of accomplishment and participation spontaneously made most people in Nanling Couldn't help but clenched his fists, and then raised his hands to salute!

  At this moment, Adalbert, who was in the Void Realm, sensed an extremely huge and mighty wave!

  Because the ancestors of Nanling residents came from different places, the salutes are different in different places, but this action itself has no meaning.

  But what Ian wants is just a hard work, the resonance and approval of all the speakers who listened to his announcement.

   A 'direction of thought'!

   "Guard our homeland!"

   "Go and kill all those demon cubs in Flaming Land!"

   "I will also work hard and use my own methods to fight against the invaders!"

  In the virtual environment, listening to and feeling all of this.

  It was difficult for Adalbert, who felt that his psychic energy 'Hearts' was rapidly recharging, to evaluate what Ian had done.

  In his opinion, Ian is deceiving, deceiving everyone in Nanling.

   But deception is also a kind of protection.

If you don't lie, then Nanling will really lose an action brigade or destroy a city. Only after so many people have been sacrificed can everyone's desire for protection and power be awakened, and only then can the The mind is unified, converging in the same direction.

   There must be such a sacrifice, and after 'the enemy has destroyed many things', people will start to 'fear' and then act.

   After the beauty is destroyed, the ordinary and the joy must be destroyed, people who have lost everything will long for everything to return.

   But Ian doesn't want to sacrifice even a little bit. He would rather use lies, false images, a kind of deception and deception to get people's true hearts, and he doesn't want to let real death happen to even any leader.

  Of course, in the subsequent frontal war, people will definitely die, ordinary people and soldiers will definitely die-but that is another matter.

   Ian would never let someone else die if he didn't have to.

   "The right to know the truth..."

  Adelbert muttered to himself: "Is this a white lie? Or is it a simple 'maximization of interests'... Now Ian may still be able to say that he is lying to protect people, but in the future..."

   "No. Ian is the future."

   "At the end of the day, I don't want anyone dead, even if they're lied to."

  —If I am deceived by Ian, then I am willing.

  Adelbert believed in Ian. Just as Ian believed he could get the job done.

   So, in this moment.

  —Call, call the name of light!

  —His name is the hero of all hearts, and all hearts gather into one!

  Nanling, virtual environment.

  The giant of light formed by the gathering of endless rays of light is slowly taking shape. With the support of the silver sun, the center of the giant's body is also shining with silver-blue brilliance!

  At this moment, the silver sun and the giant of light were together, and the endless light penetrated the darkness of the cursed soil, forcing the army of demons who had escaped the direct artillery fire through the subspace maze to make a multiple-choice question.

  —Whether it is in the virtual world, to meet the strongest and most terrifying blow after the giant of light takes shape; or to return to the material world, to meet the volley of heavy artillery from the 19th Legion that arrived at the front line, which can destroy the city's mountain peaks!

  Tomorrow, the word w will be updated on 2, please ask for a monthly ticket~
