Chapter 1403 Visit

The dark clouds dissipated, and for seven centuries, the normal sunshine finally shone on this land where an ancient and powerful civilization once stood. An almost unreal calm.

But calmness is only an appearance. The visions that appeared before have disturbed the minds of countless people. After the dark clouds dispersed, the debris that burned and fell in the atmosphere sprinkled the entire wasteland plain like a spectacular rain of fire. Everyone on the battlefield After witnessing this scene, coupled with the large-scale mysterious spaceship that landed on the battlefield before, all kinds of bizarre speculations emerged in the minds of countless people——Ordinary soldiers don’t know what is happening in this battlefield. What happened outside, but one thing is clear to everyone: those fire rains falling from the sky are definitely not as simple as ordinary "shooting stars", they affect the nerves of the three empires.

On each front, the air forces of the three empires chased in the direction where the "meteor" fell.

The Dawn of the World has returned to the battle line it was in charge of. This huge and scarred air overlord is hovering quietly over the Allied Forces of the Augure tribe. The traces left by the war make it no longer as glamorous as before, but Let it add endless vicissitudes and magnificence in the sunset.

Jinna Prince came to the deck, and under the setting sun, she looked at the sky not far away.

The peak of the meteor shower has passed. At this moment, there are only a few small spots of light in the sky that occasionally streak across the sky. A layer of thin and clean clouds floats under the setting sun. In the clouds, the tracks left by the meteor shower ablation can be vaguely seen. The high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance crew and dragonborn scouts from the Dawn of the World took off a few minutes ago to track westward where the "heavenly objects" fell, and special troops and commanders took over the aftermath on the battlefield , for a while, she actually had a moment to breathe.

Jin Na touched her forehead. The wound left by the impact on the command seat before had stopped bleeding and partly healed under the action of the alchemy potion, but the wound was still a little painful--for an extraordinary person, this small wound In fact, it was not a problem at all. Jin Na even felt that feeling the stinging pain on the dusty battlefield was actually a kind of... happiness.

The very real pain made it clearer that she was alive, that the victory was real, that the world survived.

At this moment, she heard a special buzz from the magic net terminal she carried with her. This was the prompt sound of the highest-level communication. Jin Na quickly sorted out her status, and then activated the audio of the communication device—— Then Gawain Cecil's voice came to her ears: "How is your situation?"

Jin Na immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the Dawn of the World has returned to the standby position, and the overall condition of the battle group is still good, but there are structural damages in some areas of the Dawn of the World, the nervous system of the main brain is damaged, and there are still some casualties. Thorough restoration and staffing.

In addition, we just communicated with the ground forces. The Allied Forces of the Augure Tribe and the Western Front Corps led by Duke Baldwin were severely damaged. A medical ship has landed and provided assistance. "

"Good job," Gawain's voice seemed relieved, and then he asked, "Is Rebecca okay?"

"His Royal Highness is resting - she was brave and fearless in the previous battle, controlled the situation and completed the key attack on the creeping disaster when all the commanders of the accelerator array were killed, which won everyone's respect .”

"Very good," Gawain said with a slight smile, "Has the troop tracking down those space wreckages started yet?"

"It set off eight minutes ago," Jin Na replied meticulously, "Currently, the tracking system of the Dawn of the World has confirmed that several larger fragments have flown towards the vast area between the Ogure mountain barrier and the wasteland of Gondor. Wilderness, judging by its size and rate of fall, traces near the point of impact should be evident, but it is uncertain whether other fragments will fly towards inhabited areas."

"Well, just try to track down the wreckage that fell in the wasteland area. After you find it, don't rush to recycle it, mark it and monitor it, and wait for further orders."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, the communicator on the other side was silent for a few seconds, and then Gao Wen's voice sounded again in a low voice: "Thanks for your hard work."

Jin Na was taken aback for a moment, then immediately straightened her body, and her voice was so loud that she startled herself: "The responsibility lies!"

...

In the command post in the northern part of the Tarash Plain, Gawain finished his communication with the Dawn of the World, and couldn't help but pick his ears. Amber, who was standing next to him, also picked his ears, and then he took a serious look on his face. Reported to him with an expression on his face: "...Warnings about those 'space debris' have been sent to all countries, the observatories, air defense stations and mage towers in the surrounding area of ​​the wasteland are already staring at the sky, and the emergency evacuation orders for residents in high-risk areas have also been issued. It has been issued, and there should be no major problems."

"Most of the large wreckage flew towards the no-man's land in the wasteland, and the smaller pieces didn't cause too much damage. This is a blessing in misfortune," Gawain exhaled lightly, with a strange expression on his face. Said, "Fortunately, the sentinel was completely disintegrated, and fortunately, it fell into the atmosphere at an 'appropriate' angle. Otherwise, if a giant spaceship fell down, the mortal civilization would suffer heavy damage even if it did not die this season..."

"That's right, I finally won a battle, and I was crushed to death by the enemy's corpse. Just thinking about it makes me feel wronged," Amber waved her hands, "It's like being beaten by a grave after successfully digging a grave." A meal..."

The Shadow Assault Goose was getting beaten again habitually, but this time Gawain didn't bicker with her to relieve his boredom as usual. After hearing Amber's voice, he just subconsciously stared at her up and down, as if he wanted to see from her. As if there was even the slightest abnormality, this scrutiny immediately made Amber's hair stand on end, and she folded her arms instantly: "What...what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like this all of a sudden? Hey—it's scary, why don't you directly beat me up..."

"...It's okay, I'll just take a look." Gao Wen breathed out, waved his hands and said casually.

After all, he still wasn't sure if something abnormal happened to Amber just now, and he couldn't find out why after several inquiries. Now he seemed a little too nervous to pay attention to this matter, so he could only temporarily put his doubts in his heart. Put it aside, and return your attention to the matter in front of you.

"It is foreseeable that the wreckage that fell on this planet after the disintegration of the Sentinel will definitely cause some waves in the alliance," he said casually, "Although the reverse tide has corrupted almost all of its internal core systems, before Battles in space have torn apart its main structure, but only those remaining fragments are a great asset to the alliance today..."

"Not only the wreckage dropped by the sentinel, but also the lump of 'rotten meat' lying in the northeast corner of the Deep Blue Well," Amber shook her head, "How much useful is it to dig out the wreckage left by an ancient god?" The thing—the fragments left after the God of War fell, but it has not been studied clearly until now."

"The Theocratic Council will be responsible for dealing with the wreckage left by the reverse tide. Our senior advisers know how to deal with this dangerous containment. As for the wreckage of the sentinel... it may also require a special multi-national joint agency to deal with it. That scale It is something that cannot be controlled by a single country."

Amber frowned when she heard this, and looked a little worried: "Although I said so, but studying this kind of thing really won't... the same situation as in the ancient anti-tide empire? It's the legacy of the sailors again, It’s the wreckage left by the reverse tide again, these two dangerous things together always feel like they’re going to explode at any moment..."

"It is precisely in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes that we must start research in this area, and it is an open, large-scale research that involves all countries in the entire alliance," Gao Wen said with a serious expression, "It is not about contacting the legacy of the sailors. It has led to the 'reverse tide', but the ignorance and worship of the legacy of the voyager has led to the 'reverse tide'--advanced knowledge is not terrible, what is terrible is the 'respect like a god' of this knowledge."

He paused when he said this, and then slowly opened his mouth after a while: "'Ignorance' is the catalyst for the shackles of the mind. When things like the sailor and the reverse tide have been exposed to the eyes of the world, the more you keep it secret, the more you will The easier it is to cause them to be covered with a layer of mystery or even divinity. In this regard, many people are prone to misunderstandings, and even the previous Dragon Clan has also entered into misunderstandings in this regard, but in fact... Based on The process of rational exploration and seeking knowledge is the best way to fight against the growth of divinity, and blocking the 'forbidden things' layer by layer can only create more and more indescribable monsters as time goes by."

Amber listened to Gao Wen's words, with a thoughtful expression on her face: "Divine pollution is something, the lower the education, the greater the harm, right..."

Gao Wen nodded: "If you don't study mathematics, physics and chemistry, life is full of myths."

"Then what shall we do next?" Amber thought for a while, "Contact Typhon and Baiyin now, let them prepare to set up a 'Sentry Research Institute' in the alliance? Or discuss it with those 'senior consultants' Discuss, let them come up with a plan for containment and research on the wreckage of the reverse tide as soon as possible?"

"Neither of them." Gawain shook his head, looked up to a certain direction out of the window, "The most important thing right now... is to visit a friend who is familiar but also unfamiliar."

"Familiar and unfamiliar..." Amber had a puzzled expression on her face, but soon she followed Gawain's line of sight to see the scene on the plain in the distance—among the rising smoke, the Deep Blue Well was majestic. The majestic shield is quietly covering the center of the battlefield. As the focus of the entire previous battle, the barrier finally stands at the end.

In the previous battle, the remaining defensive power of the Deep Blue Well attracted and resisted almost one-third of the wasteland army on the entire Tarash Plain, allowing the troops in charge of guarding the "terminus tower" to successfully complete the battle. It was almost impossible to complete the task of persevering, and after the battle, the direction of the Deep Blue Well fell into silence.

It was so quiet now that Amber had almost forgotten the existence of this "alliance".

"...Why is there no movement at Veronica?" Looking at the quiet light curtain, recalling that there had been no communication from the direction of the Deep Blue Well since the second half of the battle, Amber's face The expression on the face suddenly became a little nervous, "Could something have happened?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the magic net terminal placed on the table beside her suddenly started up with a "buzz", and Veronica's expressionless face appeared on the screen: "Nothing happened."

"Scared me!" Amber was shocked immediately, staring at the holographic projection on the table, "Then why have you kept silent, and didn't come out to report safety after the battle..."

Veronica was still expressionless, and said succinctly: "I'm resting."

The corner of Amber's mouth trembled, and she looked into Veronica's eyes suspiciously: "...Why do I feel that you have something against me?"

Veronica simply ignored Amber this time, but turned her head to look in Gawain's direction. She bowed slightly in the holographic projection, and her voice was as soft and calm as ever: "I am unblocking the layers of the underground bunker and opening it. A channel that can lead from the surface to the deep layer, the location of the entrance and exit of the channel will be sent later, you can enter the deep blue well at any time, and I will welcome you at the deepest part of the fortress."

Gao Wen nodded, but then he became a little curious: "Can't you come out? It's safe outside now..."

Veronica lowered her head slightly: "...Sorry, I can't leave the control center."

"Okay, I understand," Gawain didn't press further, "Then I'll go there—this time we can finally talk face to face."

The communication was hung up, and the holographic projection above the magic net terminal dissipated in the air. Gawain turned his head and glanced at Amber: "Get ready, you can go with me to that ancient fortress—see the Gondor Empire What is the afterglow of civilization left over from the glorious age?"

Amber shook her head without thinking: "I won't go, I think Veronica is interested in me..."

Then she was taken away by Gao Wen.

A moment later, a dragoon fighter plane took off from the northern command post, and flew towards the Deep Blue Well escorted by several other fighter planes and two dragonborn fighters.

Looking down from the sky, for the first time, the spectacular ruins left after the big explosion of the Deep Blue Well came into the eyes of Gao Wen and Hu Po intuitively.

The entire city turned into a molten pit, and all the once glorious buildings and cultural symbols turned into an inseparable residue of waste soil fused with rocks at the bottom of the pit. The waste soil army that had previously attacked the Deep Blue Well had already Under the influence of the force field of the blocking wall, they disappeared with the wind, but some of their remains are still scattered on the scorched earth, which is shocking to watch.

In the core of the ancient country of Gondor, there is no trace of "Gondor" anymore-except for the bottom of the deep pit, the crystal peak that is shining brightly under the light curtain.

That is the core, the most essential, and the most primitive structure of the Deep Blue Well, a naturally formed source of magic power——the ancient Gondors built a large number of extraction stations, load towers, fusion towers and other accessories around this source. The device is used to absorb the magic power in the deep blue well with the highest efficiency, but even the once most powerful human empire is just a fleeting light and shadow when facing the energy of the planet itself, and now the ancient country no longer exists. Only this webway fissure that existed since the birth of the planet is still continuously gushing.

The dragoons began to slowly lower their altitude.

In the sky above the Deep Blue Well, the spectacular light curtain trembled slightly, and then an opening was opened on its surface that was enough for an adult dragon to pass through unimpeded.
