Chapter 563: The New Use of Battle Angels

"This time, the Orlan Royal Court assembled a large number of troops, and it should be heading for the New World Science and Technology City. There was intelligence pointing to it from the Alliance Army before, and spies had infiltrated there."

"The New World Mechanical City is the Alliance Army's largest mechanical technology and logistics support base, and the Orlan Royal Court is also heading for the Alliance Army. If a real fight breaks out, Miss Carter will definitely come back to help. In this battle, King Arthur intends to completely solve the problem of the East Wasteland."

"And Chujiu. Arthur is also coming for you this time."

"Yeah. I know."

"By the way, are there any actions from your hermitage? I feel that in this situation, I feel that Jia Yu should come to interfere."

"People in the organization are already gathering in the East Wasteland."

"."

The three of them sat around the fire, chatting about the latest intelligence from the Illumination Hermitage.

Ji Xun's mind also deduced various possible situations that might happen later.

But no matter which situation it is, it points to one result: a decisive battle.

The three of them saw that the Orlan Royal Court was going to use a decisive battle to completely solve the problem.

The reason why Ji Xun was not surprised was that if he were in the position of King Arthur, he would definitely do the same.

After all, the East Wilderness seemed to have centralized power, and even the regime assisted by the Silver Moon Faith was more stable than the old Oran Dynasty that collapsed two hundred years ago.

But this was only an appearance.

The actual situation of the royal court was actually very bad.

In order to consolidate the royal power, King Arthur used a lot of reckless means.

The Silver Moon Sect, the Seven Lords of the Calamity, the Southern Continent, and the Alliance Army were all fatal hidden dangers.

But if we say that the biggest threat to the throne of the new King Arthur in the entire East Wilderness is the "New World Science and Technology City".

After all, the most powerful mechanical technology in the entire plane is not the secret research institutes of the Oran Royal Court.

It is the New World Science and Technology City that the Song family has laid out in the wilderness for nearly a hundred years!

There are already factories with technology, personnel and complete equipment for mass production of mechanical armor.

And now Ji Xun has obtained the Titan mechanical drawings and key means of production. There is also a steady stream of high-end resources supported by the Alliance Army in the Old Continent. It can be said that if the new world is given some more time, they can even produce a batch of Titan armors with considerable data, as well as countless hunter-god-level and other armors.

When the mechanical army is formed, it will be a torrent of steel that no one can resist.

The longer Arthur wants to fight a decisive battle, the less chance he will have of winning.

The current situation of the Orlan Royal Court is very similar to that of the late Talen Dynasty three thousand years ago.

If you can't solve the problem, then the problem will solve it.

Moreover, Chujiu came to the East Wilderness this time for her nominal brother.

It's not just a personal vendetta for murdering her mother, but also that she is the orthodox King Augustus!

That is a duty engraved in the blood.

The Augustus family is not only the royal bloodline left by Emperor Lanlingster, but also the carrier of the inheritance of the Kashi civilization.

Ji Xun doesn't think this is the royal family flattering themselves, but history proves that Emperor Lanlingster has laid out too many arrangements that have affected future generations.

He even suspected that the fall of the great emperor was directly related to protecting the continuation of the entire Kashi civilization.

As the Augustus King of this generation, Chujiu was destined to shoulder the sacred duty of the Augustus lineage from the moment she merged [Diamond Q-White Queen].

Arthur's current actions have pushed the entire Kashi civilization to destruction, and she must take back the royal power.

And.

Just like Marshal Andre, the ninth-level peak of the Iris Corps, needed an epic war to advance his status, the Kashi who took the royal power path also needed a promotion ceremony to that step.

And the best ceremony for the royal power fate is to ascend the throne.

Even if Chujiu is not too keen on the royal power, Ji Xun's eyes have deduced too many futures.

Every step now has a crucial impact on the future.

The three of them ate and chatted leisurely.

Like any other time before, there was nothing special.

The three of them were already accustomed to this relaxed relationship.

But today was slightly different.

Nan Jing, who usually talks the most, didn't say much the whole time. He just ate silently and would only speak softly when asked occasionally.

Fortunately, Chujiu didn't have any gossip in the whole time.

This made Nan Jing feel as if he had been pardoned.

Ji Xun didn't find it strange.

Chujiu's professional sequence is to practice "Wusheng Jinxu" among the fifty-two forbidden magic arts of the devil, and he takes the path of being ruthless and desireless and not hurt by all methods.

It is said that when you practice to a high level, you will have no human desires.

The weaker the human desires, the stronger the strength.

Chujiu is now very strong.

One month later.

In the western part of the East Wilderness, Yorkshire, Rig City.

This was once the territory of the Capone family, one of the five major members of the Federation, and it has the largest green copper mining area in the Federation.

Rig City has the most advanced mineral and smelting industry in the Federation, producing the highest quality green copper and associated magic ore. Therefore, it has been selected as one of the top 100 richest towns in the Federation in newspapers for many years.

It was already evening when Ji Xun and the other two walked into the town.

There are still a few lights on the streets, but the rich nightlife of the prosperous city in the past is long gone.

The blast furnaces in the smelter are still emitting white smoke, but only one out of ten chimneys that used to be like a forest are still in production.

The steel equipment in the entire factory is also rusty and dilapidated due to lack of maintenance.

In contrast, the most eye-catching building in the city is a brightly lit Silver Moon Church painted in conspicuous white.

Every household on the street is closed, and the pubs and restaurants have closed early. There are almost no normal residents walking on the street.

There are only a large number of ragged beggars huddled in the dark alleys.

They sleep next to the stinking ditch and sleep with the rats in the gutter.

This is completely different from the Rig City that Ji Xun had seen in the newspaper.

This mining city used to have a large number of mining tycoons, not to mention beggars, even poor people are rare. Because the mines provide a large number of jobs, even the ore that the trains casually throw off the tracks can be exchanged for a few pieces of black bread to fill their stomachs.

But now, the city is full of desolation.

The three walked on the street, and saw the withered Silver Moon believers everywhere.

They did not go to work, nor did they cultivate land and plant crops.

They just prayed in a daze towards the towering white bell tower of the church.

After a moment of prayer, it seemed that they had received spiritual feedback, which made them forget hunger and cold, and they lay on the ground with a satisfied look and fell asleep.

Along the way, this strange scene can be seen everywhere in Rig City.

Ji Xun was not surprised.

He knew that these refugees would become the current situation not only because of war.

More importantly, it was the nature of religion.

During the time when Ji Xun was in the Royal Academy of Arel, he had read a lot of religious books in order to understand the ruling method of the Holy See.

Let’s not talk about other things for now, but one characteristic of theocracy is that the living environment of the lower class must be very bad.

Only suffering can make people believe in gods.

When human beings cannot change the bad environment by their own strength, they can only place their spirits on the illusory gods.

So if theocracy wants to prosper, the rulers must not let most people live too well.

Let people have a desire for gods, so that the power of faith can be gathered to a greater extent.

If people are already living a rich life, then gods are not that important.

Looking through history books, you will find that behind many wars, plagues, famines, conspiracies, and other disasters, there are actually shadows of theocracy.

So Ji Xun was not surprised to see the situation of these refugees.

This result was destined from the moment the Silver Moon Sect came to power.

Religion and technology are inherently in conflict.

If it were not for the need of war, the Orlan Royal Court would definitely completely abandon mechanical technology and slowly become like the Southern Continent, completely returning to the ancient farming magic world.

This is the most ideal social state for theocracy rulers.

The Silver Moon believers resisted mechanical technology and did not engage in any mechanical labor, which made the mining city of Rig City mostly deserted and naturally became poor.

This is also a microcosm of the entire East Wilderness today.

Ji Xun can understand, and Nan Jing actually understands it too.

But as a high priest, she has a compassionate nature in her blood, and she can't bear it.

Looking at those beggars who are starving to the point of being skin and bones, she still can't help but give some bread.

However, few adults are grateful for the bread they get, and the believers are only grateful to the gods.

On the contrary, the desires of children are not as strong as those of adults, and they are not polluted by faith to a great extent.

Soon, Ji Xun and the other two were followed by a group of skinny young beggars.

Nan Jing also distributed food one by one, and the children left happily.

Rig City is the only way for the army of the Orlan Royal Court to conquer the New World Science and Technology City.

Ji Xun and the other two came here because they deduced that this area should be the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two sides, and came here to check the location in advance.

In addition, Rennie sent a message, and he brought the "exiled" Herlandes family to surrender.

As Ji Xun guessed, the production materials of Titan Armor were lost in Innocence City before, and even though the Herlandes family was the family of the King's Knights, they were also severely punished by King Arthur.

Because of the contract between the royal family and the guardian knight, the direct line of the Herlandes family was not exterminated, but was also exiled.

The moon goddess Arachne wants to completely control the kingship, and the disobedient four knights of the king will definitely find a chance to remove them.

Exile is also expected.

But in fact, Ji Xun and others understand that this is also a conspiracy between King Arthur and the moon goddess.

Because Ji Xun showed up to rob before and let the people of the Herlandes family go, in fact, people can already guess some of the situation.

Now if the people of the Herlandes family are unwilling to be exiled, there is only one choice left: that is to surrender to Chujiu, the orthodox Augustus.

And if she accepts, her position will inevitably be exposed.

If she does not accept, then Chujiu and other old ministers of Orlan will not have a chance.

Chujiu chose the former.

Although there may have been hostility in the past, the four knights of the king are all loyal guardian knights of their Augustus family.

As a king, she has the responsibility and obligation to accept loyal subjects.

Ji Xun's choice of friends is meaningless.

Although he knows the risks, he is really curious about what King Arthur is going to do.

There are not many people in the current East Wilderness who can pose a fatal threat to the three of them.

The agreed time is tomorrow.

The three of them wandered around the city for a while, and finally found a hotel that was still in operation and booked a room.

The hotel was near the smelter, and outside the window were spider-web-like steel pipes and towering chimneys.

Fortunately, there were not many machines running, so it was not too noisy.

Ji Xun observed near the window and found nothing suspicious about being ambushed, so he closed the window.

After setting up the barrier, the three of them started practicing as before.

The supernatural laws of the East Wasteland are barren, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the three people to perceive the power of laws from nature.

At this time, Ji Xun took out the [Space Rune Stone] and [Element Rune Stone] as usual. In a flash, the whole room was filled with the power of laws that was a hundred times more concentrated than before.

Only Ji Xun and the other two could come up with such a training condition with full BUFF.

At this time, Nan Jing also prepared the spiritualism, and at the same time, she muttered: "In the name of the contract, summon the most powerful and invincible war angel Lord Sophiel"

She recited the words of prayer respectfully before activating the spiritual formation.

In a blink of an eye, a divine light appeared in the room.

When the light of the spiritual formation faded, he saw an angel corpse surrounded by light and dark power lying on the magic floor in the center of the room.

Seeing the corpse being summoned, Ji Xun also respectfully saluted and said, "Senior, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Although this guardian angel is a corpse, he was a genuine god when he was alive.

Ji Xun had touched his body and soul before, and of course he knew that even a corpse has a certain consciousness.

He lay there peacefully, but gave the three people in the room a feeling of being protected.

Now Ji Xun also knew the name of this national angel, that is, "War Angel" Sophiel.

Summoning this is also a safety.

With this angel, even the Moon God has no chance to approach quietly.

In addition, this is a necessary "reference" for Ji Xun's practice.

The national angel, like the Four Knights of the King, is the guardian of the Augustus clan.

This lineage follows the [10 of Hearts-Hero] sequence.

Ji Xun wants to learn the exclusive secret method of the hero sequence "Lightless Sun", and the best reference for understanding is this person.

The black energy overflowing from his body is the "dark matter energy" that the Lightless Sun has cultivated to a very high level.

As long as he gets close to it, just like getting close to a fire to understand the law of fire, Ji Xun will find that his proficiency in the magic secret method will skyrocket.

So Ji Xun often asks Nan Jing to communicate with this person to assist in his practice.

And just a few days ago, he was surprised to find another change!

Ji Xun got guidance from the fragments of the witch Lanlingster's consciousness in [Gray Mist Relics].

Now it is basically certain that the characteristics of the interweaving of light and darkness on the Taren Guardian Angel are the supreme rules of the universe that can only be touched by the God level, "Extraordinary Opposition".

Originally, this was a field that card masters below the God level could not touch and would not touch.

They would not touch it because human energy is limited. Specializing in one path is enough to lead to the God level. Greed will affect the progress of practice.

There is no need to touch the opposition.

The reason why he couldn't touch it was that his realm was not high enough.

Although Ji Xun's route was like that of a [polymath], he was proficient in many laws, including the law of opposition.

But in fact, this was only a very shallow application of the law.

Compared with the "supernatural opposition", it was like the fish tank at home compared to the endless self-circulating sea.

Ji Xun couldn't understand this concept at first.

Until seven days ago, when he accidentally discovered during his routine practice that his witch distortion and normal body had reached a delicate balance, he suddenly understood what the strong light and dark divine opposition on the angel's body was!

Although it can't be described, the panel clearly shows that after Ji Xun sensed that opposite balance, the speed of practicing the secret method of "Lightless Sun" skyrocketed a hundred times!

Yes, it was a hundred times the practice efficiency that made people unconfident!

When he found this, Ji Xun thought he was having an illusion.

He asked Nan Jing and Chu Jiu, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

But after trying to stabilize that state many times, Ji Xun was surprised to find that there was really a magical power that helped him practice!

He couldn't understand the mysterious power that was no longer in his cognition, but he could compare it to: like a fulcrum of a lever, the mysterious power helped him to lift up the extraordinary understanding that was beyond his own understanding.

This made Ji Xun very happy.

He realized that this was the magical "opposition of nature".

Ji Xun suddenly understood why Emperor Lanlingster used witches to balance his extraordinary power.

Just this hundred times the efficiency of practice, Ji Xun was very excited.

But the only trouble is that you must maintain that delicate witch distortion balance state.

If you indulge a little, the distortion will deepen and the balance will be broken.

Fortunately, Nan Jing helped to suppress it these days, which allowed Ji Xun to stay in that delicate witch balance state.

It also allowed him to practice a hundred times faster than "Lightless Sun".

Ji Xun looked at the angel's corpse in front of him, and nodded to Nan Jing Chujiu. Without thinking too much, he sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

Time passed by in a flash.

One night passed.

The next day, early in the morning, the roar of the first steam train broke the silence of Lige City.

Thousands of people got off the train one after another.

Most of these people brought their families with them, mostly women and children.

They were the people who were exiled from the forbidden spell master family.

The young man in the lead was the genius Rick whom Ji Xun had met. At this moment, his face was less sharp than before, and more calm than his age.

After getting off the car, Rick's eyes were a little confused and puzzled. He tilted his head to look at the old gentleman in a black coat beside him and asked, "Grandpa Rennie, grandma asked me to follow you. Where are we going now?"

Rennie looked in the direction of the city and said, "To meet a few people."
