Chapter 580 Advance, Expand

Amber's first impression of the wasteland was "exotic".

The light gray sky rolled over the head like some kind of viscous liquid, and the turbulent magic power that was almost visible to the naked eye flowed around between the thick clouds, and the chaotic wind rolled over the barren and twisted land irregularly. And the earth is covered with some kind of purple-black "substance" that seems to be a mixture of volcanic eruption melt and sludge, like a sore in this world, extending continuously, extending to the end of the line of sight, extending into the distance Inside that magnificent energy barrier.

She had never seen anything like it anywhere.

She finally understood what Gawain meant by "the wasteland is beyond the boundaries of the civilized world".

The black forest may be corrupted and twisted, but at least trees are still trees, and monsters are still monsters. No matter how gloomy the sky is, the sky that can be seen between the clouds is still clear. Here, at the end of the black forest, at the foot of the magnificent wall, The whole world was different from what she knew.

She even felt that even the shadow power here became unfamiliar.

"According to the Kraken, the magic tide is the process of shuffling the world. The magic tide 700 years ago was just an incomplete outbreak, which is equivalent to some kind of prelude to the shuffling." Gawain watched the wasteland stretch before his eyes. Suddenly thinking of what Tyr said to him, he couldn't help but whisper to himself, "So the changes here can actually be regarded as a harbinger of a new world."

Amber looked at Gawain with horror: "You say that such a bad place is what the new world will look like after the real magic tide erupts?"

Gawain nodded lightly: "It should be about the same."

"The new world is terrifying," Amber stuck out his tongue, "what kind of life can survive in this new world?"

"It's scary only in terms of our aesthetics," Gawain glanced at Amber, "Perhaps in the eyes of life in the new world, this distorted and corrupted land is a paradise with pleasant birds and flowers, and the blue sky, white clouds and green we are familiar with. In their eyes, Shuiqingshan is probably no different from purgatory."

Sonia came to Gawain and Amber. She heard their conversation and couldn't help but say, "Seven hundred years of sleep has made you more emotional than before."

Gawain said casually: "After all, there is nothing else to do in the coffin."

"If you have a chance, introduce us to the lady siren. Our elves have always been very interested in the ancient knowledge that sirens know."

"I will,

After she wakes up next time," Gawain nodded, then looked at his surroundings, "and now let's build the last advance base here. "

There is still a short distance from the Sentinel Tower, which needs to be constructed. Although it is not far away, there are many dangers on the Corrupted Plain. In order to ensure the safety of the frontline personnel and the road through the Black Forest, Gawain ordered the establishment of a final terminal on the southern border of the Black Forest. A forward base.

Counting the No. 1 base in the northern part of the Black Forest and the No. 2 base in the depths of the Black Forest, this is the third base.

Transport vehicles loaded with important supplies drove out of the forest area and formed a loose ring around the open field at the edge of the dense forest, while the multi-purpose vehicles parked smoothly and accurately in the gap between the large transport vehicles, filling the gap. Notches on loose rings.

The steel armor and body of the convoy formed a temporary protective barrier, and the artillery that was pulled by the tractor chassis was set inside the barrier and became the base's initial self-defense firepower.

After the initial protection was established, the trailblazers and escorts began to unload supplies and set up bases.

The cornerstone of Cecil's magic industry is the magic net, so the magic net must also be laid in the first step.

The prefabricated magic net unit groups were transported from the first two trucks. They are large metal plates with a length and width of more than two meters, on which a large number of magic net units have been pre-assembled. These unit groups are connected to the prefabricated buckles on the edge of the multi-purpose combat vehicle chassis, and are connected with the power ridge of the combat vehicle itself. Finally, these combat vehicles are used as nodes to form a large area of ​​continuous magic net inside the protective barrier. , and as more and more magic net unit groups are connected in place, these multi-purpose vehicles begin to play a new role as magic obelisks.

"The external energy of the No. 1 tank reaches the threshold and the crystal is turned on!" "The external energy of the No. 2 tank reaches the threshold and the crystal is turned on!" "The No. 3 tank"

With the high-pitched reports of the mechanical sergeants, the crystals on the tops of the chariots set up around the advancing base brightened one by one, and the abundant magic power was quickly deployed with the activation of the magic net energy field, instantly covering the entire open area. .

Gawain picked up a magic terminal and saw that the rune on the side representing the charging was already lit, and nodded slightly.

These light "multi-purpose vehicles" are new things designed after the "Warhammer" main tank is finalized. They do not have too high technical content, but are specially designed for this task and are available. They are also sure to come in great use in the foreseeable future.

On the edge of the wasteland, the environment is harsh, and various uncontrollable factors will always threaten the safety of those in front, and how to deal with these threats is a problem that Gawain must consider. Most of the challenges on the soil, but it cannot solve the wasteland survival problem of the entire construction team, and in order to solve this problem, the designers of the Machine Manufacturing Institute and the Magic Technology Research Institute this light utility vehicle.

It was named Steel Ambassador by Gawain.

At the beginning of its birth, "Steel Ambassador" was positioned as a powerful support platform rather than an attacker. In order to allow teams far from the stable rear, in the wasteland or the front line to quickly gain a foothold, the steel ambassador has a larger area of ​​magic mesh units and a larger load power ridge inside, and a magic crystal magic is fixed on the top of the chariot The core component of the Net Obelisk, the combination of this crystal and the "turret" specially designed by the Steel Ambassador, is a complete Magic Obelisk.

On the front line away from the rear supply, the steel ambassador's magical obelisk can provide vital energy coverage for the position, ensuring that the position facilities can start running as soon as possible, and its powerful power ridge also allows it to support more powerful Shield system, and switch between the two shield modes. When your own survival is the priority, use the "Stand Mode" with strong defense but only the projection range can protect the chariot itself. When you need to protect friendly forces, activate the matching super magic charm Wen then can enter the "peace messenger" mode. In this mode, its shield projection range can be expanded to dozens of meters around. Although the shield's protection will be greatly reduced, it can protect a large area, thus showing strong battlefield support capabilities.

In addition to providing energy and shield supplements, the steel ambassador's magic crystal can also act as a relay point for magic net communication. Although its power is far less than that of a fixed relay tower, it is enough to ensure communication on the battlefield. For example, the cutting-edge magic warship "Pioneer" can provide communication coverage for the entire fleet, and the steel ambassador can also ensure that a land force will not lose contact with friendly forces when fighting on the front line.

In addition to these fixed functions, as a chariot positioned as "multi-functional support", Steel Ambassador also reserves the ability to expand modules in advance. Card slots and rune drag chains are set around its chassis, which directly connect with The chariot is connected to the power ridge, and the magic net unit can be connected to increase the energy output, or the rune drag chain can be used to directly provide fast charging for heavy units such as the white knight.

Of course, the realization of these convenient functions is not without cost. In order to install the huge crystal, and to support the special shield system with high energy consumption, these chariots modified on the basis of the Warhammer directly removed the main gun, leaving only the main gun. There are several heat ray guns and a soldier-grade grenade launcher on the front of the vehicle as self-defense firepower, and its crew number has also been changed from six to three, saving space for additional magic net units And the overly large power ridge, these changes made the chariot almost lose its offensive ability, but Gawain knew that on a complex battlefield, a multi-purpose chariot with excellent auxiliary capabilities can play a role far more than a main one. gun.

This is especially true in this wasteland.

On the open ground where the advance base is located, above the "wall" composed of large transport vehicles and multi-purpose combat vehicles, the soldiers have formed a temporary defense line with the carriages as bunkers, and inside the wall, the pathfinders are putting prefabricated tents and simple The board house was unloaded from the subsequent large trucks and set up the camp in no time. The "steel ambassadors" located at each node of the fence lit up the magic crystals on the roofs of their respective vehicles. The shields were also closed on the periphery of the convoy.

"Magic technology?" Sonia watched the camp's defense mechanism build up little by little, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "At first, I thought it was just some kind of transformation and reorganization of Gondor's magic technology, but now it seems that it It's a completely different path."

"The fall of the Gondor Empire has taught us a lesson, no matter how advanced the technology is, as long as it is confined to the hands of a few elite individuals, limited to a small area and cannot be popularized, then it will inevitably lack reliability and disaster resistance, and it is also doomed. It is difficult to break through the bottleneck of our own development," Gao Wen smiled, "Of course, one of the reasons for stepping out of the path of magic technology is also forced by circumstances. After all, we do not have a deep blue magic well."

"Dark blue magic well?" Sonia said softly, she looked at the "steel ambassadors" who were opening their shields and releasing magic energy broadcasts, and her eyes fell on the crystals on the top of the chariots, "Perhaps these things are as valuable as in another dark blue"

This is undoubtedly a high rating.

And an elf from the Silver Empire who witnessed the glorious era of Gondor said this sentence, which added an extra layer of meaning.

Gawain just nodded lightly, then raised his head and looked at the majestic tower in his field of vision.

The huge Sentinel Tower stands on the border of the former human empire, as if the hexagonal monument-shaped tower is hundreds of meters high, and relies on a powerful anti-gravity device to float on a hill-like foundation made of special alloys and rune stones. In the sky above the seat, countless complex runes and energy light flows flicker and flow around the tower and the base. Powerful magical energy is projected into the air under the drive of these runes. energy barrier.

"The glory of the ancient empire"

Rosetta Augustus withdrew his gaze towards the top of the giant tower and sighed softly.

Behind him, a busy construction site is undergoing tense and orderly construction, and a large number of low-level mages from the Royal Society of Mages are using evocative hands and various shaping and summoning spells to build the camp's wall, a huge stone wall. The ramparts grew out of the polluted and corrupted lands at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the great shield emblem of the Typhon Empire had been raised to the top of the flagpole, and in the chaotic winds of the wasteland, the golden-red flag fluttered in the wind.

A hoof sound came from not far away, and a valiant gray-haired female knight came to Emperor Typhon. Rosetta Augustus raised her head and greeted the talented "little wolf" from the Wendell family. "Nodded, with an almost imperceptible smile on his gloomy and stiff face: "It seems that there is news."

Andersa Wendell rolled over and dismounted, bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Eagle Eye Sentinel has confirmed that a team has appeared on the edge of the Black Forest in the northwest, with the Cecil family emblem hanging on the team."

"As we expected, the Ansu Eastern Territory and the royal family competed, and in the end they could only let their ancestor who came out of the tomb come forward," Rosetta nodded, then turned her gaze to the northwest, looking extremely far The hazy giant shadow of another tower, "It's really close"

Presumably many people already know that the little eyeball has been born, and the mother and child are safe. And this is also the last chapter of my manuscript, wish me a safe update
