Chapter 205 Holy Terra Expeditionary Force!
A piercing siren woke Leach up.
He stood up almost instantly, holding the 'Decapitator' half sword beside the bed with his right hand. This is a standard weapon forged by dwarf craftsmen. It is a hybrid sword and can be used as a one-handed sword and Use a two-handed sword with the rune of 'Purgatory Fire' engraved on it, which can cause fire damage at the moment of activation. Of course, Leach's dream is to one day be able to get hold of the "Plasma Sword" of the Star Wars. Although he doesn't know how the weapon works, Leach has seen Xiao use it to behead a powerful legendary evil creature. That blue flame is so eye-catching.
Leach equipped the Purgatory Roar III type, including strength bracers, physical amulets, agility gloves, etc. It only took him less than five seconds to put on a series of equipment.
“Emergency gathering!”
The dull roar of the instructor came from outside the camp gate. He was a bearded dwarf. It was said that he was also a famous adventurer in Abyss City. He was inspired by the mechanical priest of the Holy Church of Terra near a brothel called the House of Night Dire. Since then, he has become a member of the Martyrs Chapter and an instructor of these Astra Militarum troops, mainly teaching mid-to-high-level combat expertise on the warrior side.
The instructor is a dwarf heavy-armed defender with close to legendary strength. Leach has seen him resist the heavy blows of giant aberrations head-on. He was as motionless as a mountain.
As he walked out the door, Leach saw a flash of shadow.
"Dark Walker." Leach's pupils shrank slightly.
Most of the Dark Walkers who belong to the special department are extraordinary people from the rogue path to the assassin path, and there are also some aliens from the devil path among them. Living next door to them is a devil named Brand. He seemed to have been a noble servant in a remote area of Dagon. This guy was very ambitious and was promoted very quickly. It is said that he once met that Excellency and was personally presided over by that Excellency. No one has ever seen Brand's true form as a demon promoted through rituals. It is rumored to be a form similar to that of a 'Bone Demon'. When he is usually active, he looks like a young, handsome and slightly gloomy man.
"Level 1 combat readiness status?" Leach's expression suddenly became solemn.
The demiplane of the Heart of Machinery has never entered the first-level combat readiness state. Even in the battle against Mondor, the former lord of the swamp, it only entered the second-level combat readiness equipment. A part of the battle group was transferred to the edge battlefield.
"Captain!" A burly man led the team to assemble.
Private - Ryan.
These are the recruits he personally promoted and trained. Talented ones are selected from the aborigines in the Dagon area to advance. There are only a hundred people in each period. The losers are eliminated and enter the garrison to complete the trial. Those who join the Astra Militarum are basically professionals with extraordinary levels of 6-12. The best among them will be incorporated into many war groups. If they are pious, they may also enter the Order of Holy Terra.
What Ryan wants to join is the Farstriders. This group is mainly responsible for exploring unknown areas and opening up the dark areas around the weird country.
Normally, after the Farstriders Chapter investigates the situation, the Pioneer Chapter moves in to eliminate the aberrant creatures.
If there is a powerful evil creature entrenched nearby, it will seek help from the Martyrs Chapter. Under certain circumstances, some high-level extraordinary beings with close to legendary strength will also be dispatched to take action.
"The Farstriders, Pioneers, Martyrs and other battle groups have all gathered!"
Leach saw Owl wearing full-body magic power armor. That was Abyss City. A veteran strongman, he was a ruthless person before joining the Heart of Machinery. He once traveled alone through the ancient battlefield of the Dark Age.
Behind the owl is another burly man, who is rarely seen because his facial features are close to those of an orc.
——Champion Gladiator-Andre.
One of the champion gladiators of Abyss City belongs to the unknown sect of the Holy Terra Church. It is a battle group that outsiders have no way of knowing, but its strength is not weaker than that of the Martyrs' Order.
Due to the power talent of the orc blood, the weapons and armor equipped by Andre are heavier. It is said that the war hammer in his hand, which does not look very big, weighs more than three tons, and it uses a weapon called 'Annihilation'. It is made of material, with anti-gravity runes engraved on the surface. When wielded, it can be controlled by the runes and can easily break through thick city walls like a battering ram.
He is equipped with the Beast II type magic power armor, which has a small elemental furnace built in. This type of power armor is very rough, with spikes on the shoulder armor and arm guards. The armored skin can penetrate evil objects. The armor uses a large number of adamantine exoskeletons, which is extremely heavy and provides indestructible protection.
Without the blessing of anti-gravity runes, this type of armor weighs nearly fifteen tons, and almost no one can wear it and move around.
The total number of people equipped with legendary armor in the entire demiplane of the Heart of Machinery is less than one hand, and now almost all of them have been assembled. Leach even saw a mobile unit with unique equipment. , most of them are lightly armored, exuding faint spiritual energy fluctuations, their strength is not as good as others, but their equipment is more luxurious.
——Decapitator Knife Squad.
These people are the psychic warriors who were promoted after the sixth period. There are less than thirty people in total. They are all geniuses selected from tens of millions of people in the Dagon region. Some of them have also received the guidance of the monster doctor. For reconstructive surgeries, the resources they usually receive far exceed those of others.
They have unparalleled mobility on the battlefield, and some members can open the 'any door' to shuttle through the battlefield.
Leach also saw some other troops he didn't recognize, some of which were obviously extraordinary beings who were promoted after the twelfth period. None of them seemed to be promoted through conventional channels, because some people could transfer their injuries to unimportant parts.
"It should be the damage transfer ability of the Touch of Flesh."
Leech's hunter group once hunted the Touch of Flesh, and they just carried out the mission to eliminate one last month. In the lair occupied by flesh and blood aberrations, many extraordinary relics were sent to the academy, which should be used to promote this group of people.
The physical quality of these people is not as good as that of warriors. Their equipment is mainly light armor. Their fighting methods are close to those of swashbucklers and trick assassins, but ordinary injuries cannot kill them at all.
As long as they are promoted, they can transfer fatal injuries at least twice a day. In the later stage, they can even transfer their own injuries to the enemy.
The nearby Astra Militarum has almost finished gathering.
But the rumbling footsteps did not stop, because the heavy door of the Golem Factory opened.
The Golem Factory is also a very eye-catching landmark in the entire demiplane of the Heart of Machinery, but in most cases it is completely closed. You can only see people sending a large amount of materials in every day. Never I have seen the golem army actually appear in the outside world.
In the past half year or so, countless resources have been sent to the mining area, but the golem factory can only be entered and exited. Almost no one has entered except the invisible servants.
Steel golems with a height of about four meters lined up.
Leach couldn't even see the end at a glance. When they were in the academy, they had a difficult trial called the 'Ironman Triathlon'. The last trial required the entire five-person team to withstand the attack of the steel golem for ten seconds. minutes.
As long as you pass the triathlon trial, you can be directly incorporated into other battle groups.
He almost succeeded!
Had it not been for the high damage immunity of these iron lumps, Leach's jumping chop and heavy attack would definitely have cut off its head. He used the jumping chop and heavy attack more than once in the subsequent clearing missions. Looking at the heads of the flesh-and-blood aberrations, those big guys were almost like deformed giants, standing nearly five meters tall. Leach's decapitation blow could cut off their heads, but it couldn't cut off the damn steel golem.
The standard strength evaluation of this ghost is challenge level 13-15, but the student's devil instructor actually asked a group of people with an average extraordinary level of 5 to deal with it.
Although the instructor kept saying at the time that it was a defective product from the golem factory and was slow to move, only a ghost would believe what the drunkard said.
Leach's eyes searched the crowd.
Soon, he saw a familiar figure. There was no outline of a woman in appearance. The armor of the Mechanical Heart was unisex and had to be corseted to wear it, but he knew that the other person was attracted by him. That woman.
Letitia.
The students who graduated from the third phase were once in the logistics department and joined the hunting group through their own efforts.
She is a native of Ring City.
Married.
Have a child.
Her husband died in the dark ritual that surrounded the city. Many people in the war group secretly liked this woman, but everyone was very restrained because Letitia still firmly believed that her husband was not dead.
This alone makes many people excited, because she is different from other women.
Letitia is a warrior with a professional level of 8-9, which is not particularly outstanding among the previous batches of transcendent beings promoted, and she is not the kind of genius with fighting instincts. Due to the skewed resources, many of the students who were promoted in the early stage have already reached extraordinary level 10 or above, and some geniuses have even been promoted to high levels. The most famous ones among them were veterans of hundreds of battles in the real world, and they were promoted directly as soon as they digested the extraordinary relics. At level 5, one is proficient in all military weapons, and also has awakened combat expertise and combat instincts.
Compared with these people, they have less than ten years of training time. Leach is promoted relatively quickly. After all, he has killed a lot of monsters and has a brilliant record. He is now a level 11 warrior and will have the opportunity to join in the future. Core group.
Some combat forces that Leach knew or didn't know were all assembled.
But when Leach saw some tall figures wearing black robes in front of the opened teleportation circle, his pupils could not help but shrink, and the figure couldn't help but tremble.
——The Cursed Legion.
It is one of the most mysterious and powerful battle groups in the entire demiplane of the Heart of Machinery. It has combat power comparable to that of the Martyrs, and never shows its true colors to the outside world. It always wears a black robe. Under the robe is a unique Faceless Man Mask.
They are a group of dead people. Strictly speaking, they are a group of people who have been resurrected from the dead.
The reason why Leach knows this.
It was because when he was performing a mission in the Bone Burial Wasteland, the entire team was in a desperate situation. There was actually a hidden evil lord there. Fortunately, their psychic communicator finally connected to the tower. , and then the rescue team from the Heart of Machinery arrived.
There were three people in total, and they directly killed hundreds of evil creature families, and tore into pieces the evil creature lord who was like an aggregation of insects.
One of them, although he didn't speak, Leach knew who he was.
In the battle to kill the Pillar of Flesh, Leach's team suffered heavy casualties. Captain Hall desperately tried to replace an evil object, and eventually died in the Great Rift Valley.
The captain's body was finally taken away. There have always been rumors about the resurrection of the dead in the Heart of Machinery. One of Leach's friends was directly promoted to the priest of Terra because of the discovery of the resurrection of the dead.
But these resurrected cursed legions are different. They are all burdened with some kind of curse!
Resurrection of the dead.
Leach knows very little about this. Maybe those on the path of death know more, but everyone is keeping a secret about all this. Even in normal times, the Cursed Legion cannot be seen at all. Figures, they are taciturn, and have almost no communication with the outside world except when performing tasks.
Not everyone can resurrect the dead.
Not everyone can pass the test of death. The living dead of the Cursed Legion are different from the resurrection that everyone knows. Strictly speaking, they are neither living nor dead.
Before the laws of the world are corrected, their existence is closer to a group of cursed spirits carrying a curse.
Or, you can use a special way of describing it.
They are a group of cursed heroic spirits who were twisted by the power of resurrection of the dead. If it were a normal world, they should be the heroic souls of those who died in battle, but now they are cursed spirits.
Leach's combat team crossed the teleportation circle.
He looked up and saw a blue planet, which made his heart surge, because he knew that it was Holy Terra!
This was the first time that he stood in outer space and faced the planet where he lived.
He saw a devastated and broken land.
"We will one day redeem Holy Terra!..." The whisper of the Mechanic Priest sounded, and he was praying.
This is the lunar outpost.
A translucent energy protective force field protects this place. Once they leave here, they will lose the air they need to survive. Before being promoted to Legend of Destiny, it is difficult for warriors to leave the planet they live on. Only after becoming Legend can their life forms adapt to a harsher living environment.
Leach saw a lich.
People who are not on the path of death are the legendary natural disaster messengers. They occasionally cooperate with the actions of the Heart of Machinery. These people are very powerful, and many of them are legendary existences.
Not far away, there was a group of people in special clothes, headed by a beautiful woman with a graceful, plump and charming figure.
These people are different from the residents of the Heart of Machinery. They belong to other departments and mainly operate in the real country. Their dressing also looks out of place. Some look like grooms, some look like ladies, and some Like a down-and-out poet who wanders around and deceives noble ladies, there are also people who always have a funny and weird smile on their face.
Their promotion paths are diverse, including the extraordinary ones who take the monster path.
Buzz.
The ground trembled slightly.
Under Leach's surprised gaze, a bearded elder in gray robe planted two strange seeds on the surface of the moon. Soon they began to take root, sprout and grow. In just ten minutes, In time, it grew to a height of more than ten meters. The branches of the two big trees were entangled with each other, and the slightly curved trunks were connected with the vines, forming a hidden arch.
The glimmer of a teleportation spell emerges.
A petite and exquisite figure walked out of the portal. She looked at the others curiously and came behind the elder Druid.
This little girl looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looks like a wild cat.
But Leach's warrior instinct told him that the opponent was dangerous and cruel!
One after another figures emerged.
In the opened forest portal, in addition to the extraordinary beings of the natural path, he even saw some figures of night watchmen, death patrollers, the aces of the Dorne region, all high-level extraordinary beings.
"Captain!" The little girl from before cheered happily.
Leach turned his head slightly and saw an extremely handsome young man. His thin face looked like a statue from the ancient Greek era, his tall and slender figure, his expression was meticulous, and he looked very serious. He was holding a hand in his hand. A black umbrella with an inappropriate handle, and a pocket watch with non-beating hands in the palm of his right hand.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the Death Patroller on the Barbarian Path. He looks like a giant, and his knees are actually bandaged.
“This is my first time to come to the moon!”
“As expected.”
“The headquarters should train more legendary spellcasters.” The burly man He yelled and tore off the bandage on his knee. There were still old scars on it. His body was covered with scars, densely packed.
On the side of the portal, the elder druid who maintained the gate in the forest suddenly raised his head and said in a solemn voice: "The Cathayans have arrived!"
Buzz.
In an instant, the eyes of countless people were attracted to the void in the distance. They saw the broken space door. Battleships with exquisitely carved dragon heads crossed the space and entered outer space. On the side of the battleship Above the deck, a shaman elder wearing a Yin-Yang fish robe looked at the group of them and nodded slightly towards the Druid elder in the distance.
Dozens of dragon-headed warships broke through the void and descended. In the center of the entire fleet was a floating exquisite tower, with a floating island-like foundation below and thirty-six floating around it. Different white marble town towers.
On every suspended town tower, you can see countless glyphs engraved on it, which seem to be the inscriptions of some unknown hieroglyphics.
——Quail head.
Next to the gate in the forest, a great druid whispered:
"The Cathayans are spending a lot of money this time!..."
As the only country in the weird country that has a complete The inherited alien civilization, Cathay, which comes from the wild world, is inextricably related to the legendary Earth and Heaven. Their wonders such as the White Jade Capital, the Hanging City, and the Golden Guards were only activated in the Dark Age. Wu Jin, who is good at five elements magic, rarely appears in front of outsiders.
People on the natural path don’t know how Xiao En persuaded them. You must know that the remnants of Cathay are notoriously withdrawn and stubborn. They have always been mysterious and rarely communicate with the outside world.
As if it were a signal.
The faint light of the teleportation nodes appeared in the void. Amid the exclamation of others, one after another astral battleships broke through the teleportation gates and descended into outer space. However, most of the people standing on them were not human beings. They were from the seven Witch King Cities. The troops also arrived, and on the living starship headed by them was a female warlock who was so beautiful that she was a bit enchanting. Her magic power was so huge that it distorted the surrounding space. She was dressed in a robe that looked like the setting sun bathing in blood. She stared into the distance with her deep eyes and whispered. : "I never thought that our star port would be able to restart one day."
This strange warlock makes people feel a little uneasy.
Her existence seems to be extracting the vitality of the surroundings, causing the void to ripple like a lake.
"The setting sun of catastrophe."
The elder Druid pulled the surprised little girl behind him and warned: "Daisy, stay away from them."
The inheritance of these Taichu Warlocks once drained the life force of a world.
The establishment of the seven Witch King cities has a lot to do with them. At the same time, the land of the weird country is devastated, and these people must also bear a certain responsibility.
This fleet seems a bit strange, because there are even spaceships in it that are obviously modified from aberration battleships, and there is also a statue of Balor Balrog carved on the bow of the ship, and there is even a... A starship looks like a weird spider. This is obviously not a humanoid starship.
“I didn’t see the other-dimensional sphere.”
On the deck of Purgatory City’s forces, a transcendent of Purgatory blood whispered: “No one from the Tower of Knowledge came.”
On the side, a certain purgatory banshee said calmly: "They didn't come."
"But the descendants of the Northland Witch are here."
Witches have a unique promotion system, different from mages. Closer to the spellcasting ability of a warlock, they are very easy to identify and are all female.
Of course, you can be promoted after changing gender.
In the void.
A female figure with three heads and three bodies gradually emerged. Her vast ocean-like mana pool activated the majestic portal in the outpost. In the shining light, countless people saw an extremely strange planet. The roots of the trees are wrapped around the twelve satellites floating around, and in the center is the legendary 'Garden Planet'.
This is the first time in nearly a thousand years that Holy Terra has entered the interstellar battlefield.
