Chapter 357 The War Sacrifice of the Silver Moon Sect
Ji Xun and Dong Qi are busy installing the instruments in the underground factory.
On the other side, in the building of Dekai Machinery Company, the Luo family's dispute continued.
"Father, do you really believe those two guys of unknown origin?"
"They have tokens given by the head of the family, so there is no doubt about their identity."
"But, even if they are members of the Song family, so what? With only two people coming, what can change the current situation? The moonshining gang has already sent people to rush us, let us go to the assembly point as soon as possible. Mother I used my connections to finally get a few tickets. If I don’t leave, I really have no chance.” You also need to consider your family and mechanics.
Listening to the anxious urging of his wife and children, his expression also showed some confusion.
Rolton can see the current situation of Tailong City more clearly than most people.
He had actually asked through his connections, and even Marshal Lei Meng, the commander-in-chief of the city, could not guarantee that he could send anyone away alive.
After being summoned by the Song family before, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
After all, he and his father's generation had experienced the changeable tactics of the Song family's grandmother.
Thinking that there may be some unexpected arrangements.
But now the person who arranged the reception in Songjia has met.
Some of the uncertainties in my heart became certain.
They are just two young people, and the difference is a bit different from what was expected.
At least Rolton did not see the possibility that these two people could change any situation of the Luo family.
But what do they want to do when they go to the factory?
What does it mean to gather all the mechanics together?
Rolton is very confused now.
He has stood by his faith until the last moment and has a clear conscience.
But when he turned to look at his anxious family, his eyes trembled.
I can face life and death indifferently, but after all, I cannot see my children die like this.
Rolton sighed slightly and said in an extremely solemn tone: "Zheng'er, Luna, you have passed the adult ceremony and are at the age where you can make decisions for your own life. In the current situation, you I can see that, and I have to tell the truth. I also think that the probability of our survival in this war is low. I can't dictate your fate, so you can trust my judgment. But I still say that. I will stick to it until the end. As for you, you can choose your own path.”
As soon as he said this, the three people in the room fell into silence, their eyes flashing with struggle.
When the choice truly falls into their own hands, they don’t know how to make a decision.
When Rolton said this, he seemed to have seen the fragmentation of the future, and sighed: "I have divided the belongings at home and put them in the safe. You each have a share. No matter what you choose, I won’t blame you. If you can live, live well.”
As he said that, he looked at his children and his wife.
He knew that his wife had never liked him, and he also knew that she had several lovers.
But family marriages are always about profit, and there is no deep relationship at all.
After all, I can’t let go of such a pair of children.
In case
In case someone really gets out alive.
The Luo family has a queen.
Speaking of property, the lady with heavy makeup seemed to finally have a reason to leave: "Lao Luo, it's not that I can't trust your judgment, I can't trust the Song family. I won't die with those iron lumps and mechanics. You Since you insist on staying, I know I can’t persuade you to take care of yourself.”
As she said this, she took her children and prepared to leave.
Although the younger daughter was reluctant to give up, she still followed her mother.
Rolton looked at his wife and reminded her one last time: "I know that your mother's family contacted the moonshining gang. But I want to remind you one last thing, be careful. Although I don't know where it is. What's the situation, but my intuition tells me that the road to smuggling is definitely not that easy. In the face of desperate situations, human nature is the most untrustworthy."
The lady didn't say anything, turned around and walked out the door.
The young man in a suit watched his mother and sister leave, and then glanced at his old father who stayed behind. After all, he gritted his teeth and stayed where he was: "I will accompany my father!"
On the other side, Tai Lung In a valley outside the city.
There is an outlet for an underground river here.
This was once a secret smuggling channel for the largest gang in Tyrone City, the "Moonlifting Gang", but now it has become a channel for stowaways to make money out of the city.
At this moment, a group of people were guarding the exit.
The boss of the moonshining gang with a poisonous snake tattooed on his arm was telling the group of sergeants something while nodding and bowing.
"Sir, a message has been sent over there. In another hour at most, a new batch of people will be sent over. This time they are all rich people in the city. They definitely have a lot of good things. ."
"Don't worry, I have asked the people caught here to report to the city that they escaped safely, and even if they are suspected, they have no choice now. Those who voted are all 'big fat sheep'."
"The garrison in the city is Marshal Lei Meng, who used to be the "Third Federal Mechanic". There are also some people within the Lei family who are contacting our gang to smuggle them over. Come out. If we catch a few of them then, we will definitely be able to get some information for you."
"."
Hearing this, the sergeants of this hundred-man squad all showed a sarcastic smile on their faces.
If Ji Xun were here, he would definitely recognize this as the elite of the Tenth Legion of Iris.
The leader is none other than Kaibar, the commander of the seventh-order army.
With this person here, it is impossible for anyone to escape.
The purpose of war to a large extent is plunder.
Whether in the Eastern Wasteland or the Southern Continent, resources are concentrated in the hands of the top elites.
Is there any way to rob faster than waiting here and letting the rich and powerful with all their wealth throw themselves into the trap?
They have already seen a lot of "big fish" here during the days of lockdown.
It took Ji Xun and Dong Qi several hours to pack up all the mechanical equipment in the factory and stuff it into the oil painting.
When I came out, I went to Dekai Company again and found that the only ones left were the Luo family and his son.
Not much to say.
I just talked about some of my arrangements.
Ji Xun actually guessed the Luo family's situation before he came.
If possible, he would like to take everyone out.
After all, this is the industry left by Song Yu.
However, it's too much.
Ji Xun’s plan is to use the catastrophic object [Monet’s Sunrise] to send people out of the city.
The biggest problem is that there is no restriction on the equipment and other dead objects that this relic can hold.
Like a compressed file, it can be filled up.
But to pretend to be a living person, you need to constantly inject magic power and maintain a complete space barrier so as not to exclude people.
The more you install, the more energy you need to consume and the shorter the time it can last.
Ji Xun has tested and estimated before that his current ability can take away at most a few hundred people, and it will not last long.
But this is the best result.
That’s why he didn’t tell the Luo family his plan before.
It’s because we know that if we can’t take everyone with us, there will inevitably be conflicts.
And once the plan is announced in advance, the risk of leakage will be unpredictable.
If we don’t say it now, someone will choose to leave.
Only those who truly choose to believe in the Song family will stay.
Ji Xun originally only planned to take away those who believed in him.
And he didn’t think that if he was with him, he would definitely be able to survive.
Now Tailong Machinery City has been blocked by the army. It is not difficult for Ji Xun and the others to enter the city, but it is basically impossible to get out.
The only chance is to wait until the war starts and take advantage of the chaos to get out.
If a war really breaks out, leading the Luo family will tie everyone's lives to themselves.
When he dies, everyone must die.
There is no need to involve the cause and effect of some people who do not trust you.
The main goal of coming to Tailong Machinery this time is the equipment and mechanics.
Now that things are done, Ji Xun and Dong Qi also look relaxed.
The two wore gas masks and walked on the street, chatting as they walked.
Dong Qi looked very excited after receiving a batch of state-of-the-art equipment.
But after getting excited, she looked at the various residents on the street and suddenly asked: "Ji Xun, who do you think will win this war?"
"It's hard to say."
Ji Xun saw more in his eyes.
He saw the panic in the city like a spreading plague, and also saw the severed heads of countless fate lines
After pondering for a moment, he said: "There is a high probability that both sides will suffer."< br>
Dong Qi: “Both sides suffer?”
Ji Xun: "Yeah."
The combat power of both sides has almost been made clear, and the combat power assembled on the southern continent has an overwhelming advantage. No matter how many times he deduced it, Ji Xun never saw any possibility of Donghuang's victory.
However, the Oran Royal Court added a "variable" to Ji Xun's deduction.
After returning from the Rune Highlands last time, Ji Xun had a new understanding of the heritage of the Augustus clan.
Although they are a down-and-out royal family, they are inherited from the glorious Talon Empire three thousand years ago.
Just a little bit of information is not a mysterious trump card that ordinary people can touch.
For example: Titan Armor.
If the new king of Oran does not want the throne he has just secured to collapse, he will definitely not let this decisive battle that will determine the trend of the war for a long time in the future end in a disastrous defeat.
So there must be some arrangements that outsiders don’t know about.
However, based on the information Ji Xun knew so far, he could not imagine any possibility of a comeback.
It is just intuition to come up with a "lose-lose" result.
But it was this uncertainty that made Ji Xun very interested in this battle.
Dong Qi frowned when he heard Ji Xun's analysis, "Yeah. It's really bad. I don't know what's going on with Aunt Qin."
Neither did Ji Xun. Know.
The two of them walked aimlessly on the street.
Tailong City is an old city with a history of thousands of years.
There are traces of ancient magic in the city, as well as the industrial style of steel and steam.
The dim gas lights illuminate the neighborhood, Gothic-style spire houses stand on the streets and alleys, and the steam pipes on the walls are as dense as ivy.
The tram steam train shuttled through the city, its wheels making a harsh hissing sound as it rubbed against the cold metal track.
The diffuse smoke is like the smoke of war, always hanging over the city, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling of being foggy and unable to see the future.
In Ji Xun's eyes, the whole city was filled with a flood of negative emotions.
But this is a good thing for him.
The clown mask can absorb these negative emotions and help him improve his understanding of various laws.
Although individual emotions are as subtle as dust.
But when millions of people gathered together, it was like a sandstorm, overwhelming the sky.
The closer we get to the edge of the decisive battle, the stronger this negative emotion becomes.
At this moment, Ji Xun felt like he was in a very mysterious state.
It's a bit like the temporary enlightenment blessing in the Shenxu treasure house.
He enjoyed the feeling of immersing his thoughts in ice water, clear and efficient.
Let him feel the existence of the laws of the universe more clearly than anywhere else.
If he could practice in this environment, he felt that even the most difficult "laws of space" would be within reach.
Now it seems that the ability of the [Crown of Thorns], one of the four sacred weapons of royal power, to gather the laws of fear, seems to be something similar to a "promotion ritual".
This allowed the new King Arthur to advance to the seventh level quickly.
Other cities can surrender and become slaves, but it is absolutely impossible for people from the Southern Continent to leave Tailong City, the largest mechanical city in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland.
The only good news is that now the people in the city know that they are going to massacre the city, and most of them are willing to fight to the death.
The city is now in a state of preparation for war.
Official recruiting posts can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Residents, young and old, can sign up to participate in the battle and receive their own combat equipment.
Most of them are mechanical exoskeletons and guns.
Although the Dragonborn Card Masters in the Southern Continent are very powerful individually, machines can minimize this gap.
Bullets fired from a gun in the hands of a child are no different from those fired from an adult's hand.
Originally they were just strolling around, but as they were walking, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.
Because at the largest intersection in the neighborhood, he saw the "Moon and Cross Star" military flag flapping in the wind.
“Huh?”
Ji Xun looked very familiar with this logo. Isn't this the logo of the Tarun Dynasty's Moon Cross Legion?
Seen before.
It was in the Shangbang Prison, and Arthur summoned the armors of the undead knights who once protected the Talon Dynasty.
This legion is special.
Because, it is not only the most powerful legion of the Talon Dynasty.
They are still the direct troops of Queen Silver Moon.
"Silver Moon Sect?"
Seeing those military flags, Ji Xun suddenly discovered a bright spot in his mind.
The person who used the Silver Moon Secret Technique to sneak attack on me in Innocence City was probably Princess Betty.
Coincidentally, Ji Xun is one of the few people who knows that she came into contact with the tomb of Queen Silver Moon three thousand years ago in the Mausoleum of Augustus.
Ji Xun himself had worked as an undercover agent in the Silver Moon Sect, and he was no stranger to those sect's methods.
Suddenly, he had an idea that made him take a breath of cold air: "No. Are the Silver Moon Sect planning to do something about the coming of the old gods again?"
Previously in In the Shenxu Treasure House, Jia Yu's decisive move forced the Silver Moon Sect to come up with a "Silver Moon Sacred Tree".
Later, Ji Xun and the mushroom head talked about this point, guessing that it should be some kind of coming ceremony of the old god.
It was just frustrated at the time.
All the previous preparations of the sect were in vain.
Ji Xun has read the "Silver Moon Secret Code" thoroughly and knows that the coming of the old gods requires enough "spiritual mediums" and carriers.
Looking at it now, Princess Betty may be the divine body chosen by Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Joy".
But advent requires a large number of psychics.
This thing is hard to find elsewhere.
But right now, there are plenty of them.
Humans, highly intelligent creatures, are one of the best sources of blood media.
Is there any way to raise blood media faster than a super-large war?
Thoughts flashed frequently, Ji Xun thought along the train of thought, and thought to himself: "The people of the Hissing Silver Moon Sect are planning to sacrifice the people of this war as blood matchmakers?"
It's really possible!
After drawing a conclusion, and then deducing it in reverse, he felt that he was probably very close to reality.
If it was just the Oran Royal Court’s plan, people in the Southern Continent might not be fooled.
In other words, Princess Betty must have arranged some means in the Southern Continent Legion.
"Those people in the Oran Royal Court are really ready to cause trouble."
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes seemed to have seen a big drama about to be staged.
Now few people know that there is a problem with Princess Betty's identity, so this plan is extremely feasible.
Moreover, even if Ji Xun guesses it, he can't stop it.
The army of the Southern Continent has already gathered outside the city. It is impossible to stop the war just because of some rumors.
And Ji Xun, one of the few insiders, could not stop it and had no reason to sabotage this plan.
After all, comparing the two evils, the threat of the Silver Moon Sect is much lower than the invasion of the Southern Continent.
"The old gods are coming?"
I don't know why, but thinking of this, Ji Xun felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
Since the arrival of the Moon God is something that cannot be changed, the thoughts in his mind will automatically extend in directions that are beneficial to him.
The previous plan was that Ji Xun would find opportunities to send people and equipment out, and he might encounter some small-scale pursuits.
With two strong teammates, Qin Rushi and Dong Qi, the three of them can definitely gain a lot of benefits.
But now that I have guessed this, the plan is different.
Since the Oran royal family dares to do this, it seems that they have abandoned the millions of people in Tailong City.
Accordingly, they must be confident that after the arrival of the Moon God, they can solve or at least severely damage the 400,000-strong army in the southern continent.
This ending is probably something no one could have expected.
The wheels of war are already turning, and no one can stop them.
But Ji Xun's career sequence is different from others.
He can absorb divinity and blood media.
His intuition told him that the arrival of the Moon God this time was a fatal crisis, or it might be a great opportunity for him.
