Chapter 561 562. Heading to War
Lan En was still subconsciously covering his shoulder sockets that had grown new flesh.
Having such a deep cut on yourself, heart palpitations are inevitable, and Lan En is used to it.
With the support of magic potion, the witcher's body does not have to worry about bacterial infection, which has saved him a lot of trouble.
“I feel like I have gained a little more strength now.”
Lan En stood up with his hands on the ground and spoke to Mentos in his mind.
"The effect of [Muscle Strengthening Organ] is so immediate? Is this normal?"
The biological brain then projected the subject's biochemical indicators and marked certain indicators. red.
“The growth rate of muscles is much higher than that of bones, so the strengthening process of a normal Space Marine will basically be completed within a few months. Considering your ultra-high metabolic efficiency, even if you strengthen your bones, it will only take a few months. It took less than a year. Then the muscle strengthening is expected to be completed in less than two months." But even so, what you feel now is not muscle growth, but hormone growth. Muscle congestion under the action. ”
What Mentos said was right.
Lan En hasn't put on his clothes yet, so on his now naked upper body, the already well-developed muscles are bulging, with obvious lines and full arcs.
Looks like he has fully warmed up.
Of course, his body temperature also rose after a full warm-up.
It is estimated that he will maintain this state for a period of time before the muscle development is completed.
"Three surgeries have been completed."
Lan En opened and closed his fists, feeling the contraction of muscle fibers, and murmured in a low voice.
“The most direct improvement in combat effectiveness among conventional Space Marine surgeries has been completed. The remaining surgeries, although very powerful, are mostly surgeries that improve survivability and functionality.”
"Yes, sir, congratulations." Mentos congratulated with a British accent and gave him enough noodles.
Then he started to pose the next questions.
"But now, we must also face a choice - should we continue to take the enhancement route of regular Space Marines, or should we take the route of Primaris Space Marines?"
The three extra parts of the Primaris Space Marine surgery, if If you follow the process in your memory, you must follow up immediately after the [Muscle Strengthening Organ] is implanted.
It is not impossible for regular Space Marines to become Primaris Space Marines later.
This change is called 'crossing the Primaris boundary' in my memory.
But it is by no means an easy and simple matter for a complete regular Space Marine to cross the boundaries of Primaris.
Even with the physical strength of Space Marines, the failure rate of this step will be as high as 61.6%. Because these superhuman warriors were almost literally 'skinned and torn apart' in the process.
The operation time will also be as long as several years due to their tough and unyielding bodies.
Time consuming, laborious and risky.
"Don't think about this for now, Mentos."
Lan En wiped the scattered blood stains on the ground while drinking [White Honey] one sip after another.
"How to perform the highly technical steps of Primaris surgery does not depend on us, but on this."
As he spoke, the witcher patted the Ankh cross in his pocket.
“In the world of ancient Greece, with the advanced level of the First Civilization, I believe we can get the technology we need there. And whether we can go back, and whether we can fully tap into the First Civilization Technology, this all needs help to see the results.”
The research on the cross-world beacon has been handed over to Margarita.
To discover the legacy technology of the Forerunners, Cassandra's help will definitely be needed.
"First, let's do what we can."
The witcher said this, and the biological brain agreed.
——
The day after the operation was completed, Lan En was ready to go south.
The war between the Nilfgaard Empire and Cintra is taking place there, and only a few people now know how the war situation has developed.
These people are great nobles, kings, strategic advisors to kings, or intelligence chiefs to kings.
As for the specific situation of the battle, except for those on the battlefield, no one has the ability to discern the reality.
The Nilfgaardians seemed to have planned this for a long time, and their espionage system put the entire northern kingdom to shame. According to Margarita's complaint, even Redania, the most professional spy agent, King Vizmir began to reprimand his spy chief Dijkstra in public for his insensitivity.
This is a very dangerous sign for an intelligence director.
The northern countries' vigilance and concern for the southern empire have continued to rise over the past few decades.
But in the end, they lost the first-mover advantage and could not match the Southern Empire's long-planned research on the northern countries.
Perhaps after this war, the intelligence systems of northern countries will withdraw a lot of resources from their neighbors and invest them in the south.
But in this sudden war, in less than a month, they had no time to do anything and could only watch the situation develop.
Outside the city of Gos Velen, Margarita, Berengar, and Siloden Giancardi came to see Lan En off.
The sorceress looked still angry. She knew she couldn't persuade Lan En, so she was looking at the young man fiercely even now.
It doesn’t look like a farewell, but rather like saying, ‘Those who can’t be persuaded to come back should go and die quickly’!
And just as Berengar expected, the sorceress now looked at him and the red-bearded dwarf with a bad expression.
It made him a little worried whether the other party would directly greet Lan En with a fireball after he left.
These people are Lan En's friends in Gos Velen. Yuna and Fergus can't get involved at all, so it's better not to worry them.
"It's just like we agreed."
Lan stood in front of Margarita and assured her sincerely.
"I will return immediately after I rescue my friends from the battlefield. This is a war between nobles annexing each other and fighting for each other. It is like dog eating dog, and I will not get involved deeply."< br>
Although Margarita's expression was still vicious, as parting approached, the worry in her eyes still took over.
“Oh, it’s best.”
Although she still said cold words, Margarita couldn't help hugging her, and then left without looking back.
Lan En set off, and he still took Poppai with him. Because when he took off his armor, the Kaedweni warhorse could still carry him for a distance.
After watching him leave, the three of them stepped on the mud and headed back inside the city wall of Gos Velen.
Margarita was far apart from the other two, which made Berengar and Siloton look very embarrassed along the way.
But after entering the city, a messenger with an eagle feather in his leather hat squeezed out of the noisy crowd entering the city and went straight to the sorceress.
Berengar and Siledon looked at this scene and didn't feel anything wrong.
This is a city that thrives on Arethusa, and the sorceress's influence is everywhere.
Half of the couriers running around in this city serve the college. This scene is completely normal.
Margarita took a letter from the messenger's panicked hand, and then a flash of magic flashed and the envelope opened automatically.
Immediately afterwards, Berengar first saw the sorceress's face turn pale.
After that, even the slow red-bearded dwarf screamed in surprise.
"The plague is upon us! Dear lady, your face looks a bit..."
A bit like a dead person.
The letter fell to the ground, and some battle reports were scrawled on it.
Berengar’s untrained eyesight only captured one sentence——
"The Nilfgaardians massacred the city of Sintra! They massacred everyone in the city! Everyone!"
So, Berengar knew why Margarita looked ugly.
Because she understood, and based on this understanding, she realized one thing.
The man she cared about, the man who just left, that unique witcher, from now on.
He is already trapped in the war.
