Chapter 645 Overture Seven
The impact of the four insect tides took away tens of thousands of human lives. Although most of them were residents of the Holy Ray Crusade territory, the Bloody Parliament also paid the price of more than 10,000 civilians and hundreds of elite soldiers. The mechanical insect swarm moved more than 100 kilometers per hour under the attack, which was not an exaggeration to describe as lightning attack. Moreover, the four groups of troops were divided into four groups, attacked in groups, and attacked in combination, and attacked in different directions, but they were destroyed at almost the same time. In the eyes of some people, many things can be interpreted.
On the edge of the traditional territory of the Arthur family, Oberen stood on the top of a small hill, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking towards the direction of the northwest mechanical insect swarm. On the hillside in front of the hill, there were densely filled with wreckage of various mechanical insects, with the hill as the center, forming a semicircular arc. Behind Oberen, in addition to the inseparable Elena, there were more than a dozen people with gloomy faces and murderous auras. This was the most elite special unit of the Arthur family. In front of these dozen people, there were nearly 30,000 mechanical insect swarms.
A sudden but not very hard battle.
"These guys come so quickly," said a man.
"And the number is much higher than expected," another person added.
A mechanical worm is not big, but tens of thousands of mechanical worm remains piled up together, all over the mountains and fields, with a strong visual impact. Looking at the scene of the end of the world, Elena also had a solemn face and said, "This should not be their main force, but just a tentative attack force, right? But... there are so many of them? Then their main force..."
Oberen said slowly with a serious face, "Hundreds of thousands, or even millions are possible. Moreover, I have a kind of intuition. Although it is incredible to think about it, the challenges we are about to face are likely to be based on tens of millions."
"Ten millions?" Elena exclaimed and said in a lost voice: "Isn't that the material equivalent to a mountain?"
Oberen smiled bitterly and said, "It is not impossible for the guy who can make these things to turn an entire mountain into a swarm of mechanical insects."
"But..." Elena did not continue to ask. She wanted to know what to do if she really faced a mechanical insect swarm of tens of millions. The rational choice was to escape immediately and give up the castle that the Arthur family had been passed down for hundreds of years and the base that took more than ten years to build. But when facing Bebraz's overwhelming army, wasn't it just that she was swearing to guard the castle that inherited from the castle that was passed down for the deaths of Oberen miraculously? Then this time, would he give up the castle that had irreplaceable historical and commemorative significance?
This question does not need to be answered yet, but when it must be answered, there is probably no choice.
Facing the wind and facing the strong burnt smell, Elena smelled a trace of the apocalypse. She gently leaned her head on Oberen's back and murmured: "If you must die together, that's okay..."
"What?" Oberen was restless and didn't hear what Elena was saying.
"Nothing." Elena just smiled, but didn't plan to continue talking.
In the highland near the ice ocean in the north, a mountain that stretches for dozens of kilometers and is hundreds of meters above sea level roaring and trembling, slowly sinking into the earth. The mountain is covered with cracks, and steam and dust are gushing from each crack, forming a cloud of smoke and clouds, almost covering the entire mountain. The peaks are sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the peak tips are almost submerged into the ground, a cover is gushing out from the area where the mountain originally was like a volcanic eruption.
The metal storm of hundreds of square kilometers! They were all large and small mechanical insect swarms, and they were not composed of only a few species like the insect swarms that attacked the Bloody Parliament. Since the insect swarms that erupted from the bottom of the mountain were as small as mosquitoes, there were also empty ships of the mother ship level hundreds of meters long. In terms of number, if the smallest mechanical insects were not tested, the metal storm also included at least tens of millions of mechanical insects.
Oberen and Elena both have keen intuition and superhuman wisdom. Their unintentional words came true: consume a mountain and create a swarm of millions of insects. If there is a choice, they should never want to see this scene.
The sky in the entire north is gloomy and dark, it is already autumn. At such a high latitude, the day is pitifully short and deeply shrouded by thick radiant clouds. So although it is noon, it is as dark as dusk. The starship Valhalla, which combines elegance and majesty, hovers tightly against the clouds, and the blue streaming light flows along the outer edge of the ship, flowing from the bow to the stern, and then regenerates at the bow of the ship. The flowing halo dyes the thick clouds a layer of lead blue, which should have been a very magnificent scene, but for some reason it makes people feel chilled.
The starship was trembling all over. After a moment, the abdomen suddenly opened and a huge and complex six-sided column-shaped object dropped. The surface of the cylinder was full of flashing light, full of mysterious aura. The six-sided column slowly fell and fell on the top of a mountain below. The snow immediately melted, revealing the dark rock below. The light emitted from the six-sided column shone on the rock, and then the rock also turned into dark red flowing magma in a blink of an eye, flowing to all sides. The six-sided column slowly landed, sinking into the magma at a constant speed, and penetrated deep into the abdomen of the mountain.
The six-sided cylinder sinking into the abdomen of the mountain is the cornerstone of technological civilization, and the source of endless energy: the space furnace. With the ability of the starship Valhalla, it will take more than a month to create a space furnace.
After the space furnace sinks into the belly of the mountain, more than a dozen mechanical cabins pop out from Valhalla and shoot around the mountain peaks. Some of them spread directly on the ground, while others continue to drill into the ground, and even reach a depth of hundreds of meters before stopping, and then digging and unfolding. Therefore, the working mother cabins with different functions, but they form a complete system are deployed around the space furnace. The space furnace penetrates to the ground nearly a thousand meters deep before stopping, and then the six-sided cylinder suddenly emits dazzling light, and the energy field quietly expands.
It covers a radius of dozens of kilometers and reaches a range of kilometers deep. Any working mother cabin that enters the energy field is immediately replenished with energy and starts working at full speed. The working mother cabin begins to manufacture various machinery, and as one machine starts, mines, smelting, forging, processing, assembly, and gradually builds and improves one by one. Then more machinery is assembled, and then, a large-scale production of general parts that can be used by both the mother machine and the mechanical insect swarm begins.
Deep in the belly of the mountain, several boring machines swam out from the deepest female compartment. They are only the size of a puppy, but the boring drills in front are invincible, easily breaking the hard rocks, crushing them into block-shaped particles. When the storage compartment is filled, they will return and pour the collected raw materials into the newly built sorting smelting unit, roughly making them into various materials. On the surface, several new processing workshops have been built, and one boring machine is out of the workshop and drilling into the ground at a predetermined location. As the number of boring machines increases, the machinery in every link in the entire production chain is also increasing in proportion.
In the central control room of Valhalla, Fitzdek floated high near the roof, and countless data bands extended from his body, sending meticulous commands to each of the tiniest mechanical insects. Below him is a three-dimensional hologram of land, covering the entire northern continent. Almost all places are shining, with only the sphere of influence of the Bloody Parliament being dark, without any information feedback. In addition, there are only a few dark spots on the continent, and these information blind spots are very eye-catching. The northern end of the continent is a stretch of mountainous areas, and the different colors shining on it represent different resources. Various minerals are of course important, but under the technology mastered by Fitzdek, several
Almost any substance can be used to build his mechanical army. You can see that under a mountain, there is a striking red dot shining, and it is constantly radiating a light red light. This is the mark of the space furnace, and the range that the red light radiates to is the range that can receive the energy transmission of the space furnace. Under that mountain, thin lines are spreading rapidly, intertwining into a net. This is the underground passage opened by the excavator and is also the operation surface for collecting resources. When it is denser than a spider web and only a color will be displayed on the hologram, it means that the resource is close to being harvested, and tens of millions of mechanical insect swarms will break out of the remaining channels of the sky resources, forming a new metal storm that swept everything.
Now, next to this new production base logo, numbers representing various machinery are jumping and increasing with a constant acceleration.
On the other side of the map, a striking red dot representing another space furnace is moving, flying towards a new designated area. It moves with the attached manufacturing system and will soon take root in the new area and start producing new mechanical insect swarms.
On the ground of the central control room, Seredela was looking up at the hologram in the air, her expression changing. She had no clothes on her body, and her 5-meter-high body kept emitting a hot light, like a burning flame. Wherever the light went, all the data bands would be twisted and deformed. Fortunately, Seredela controlled the flames emitted from her body to prevent it from spreading 5 meters away. This was the result of Fitzdek's protest, otherwise she would let her release the energy flames and all the data connections would be cut off. At that time, Fitzdek's mechanical army would have become scrapped.
Although Seredela's body was huge, the proportions were the perfect figure of a human woman, which was very tempting. However, Fitzdek seemed to have no interest in her body. Even if he took a look at it occasionally, his expression was dull, as if he was looking at a statue, and there was no feeling of a man looking at a woman. Seredela's eyes were at the location of the Bloody Council. It was dark, with only four small gaps on the corners. It was the information obtained by the invasion of the four mechanical insect swarms. It was completely destroyed before it was penetrated, so four small gaps were carved out on the edge of the darkness.
The Bloody Council is like a sleeping giant, and it will show horror when disturbed.
