The virtual ring looks like a huge light curtain that completely blocks the entire Serlo Forest. Its scale is comparable to the largest urban energy shield. People outside can only see the invisible light that cannot penetrate.
The transparent halo completely surrounded this forest of light spears, but everything that happened inside was completely unclear.
Not only the naked eye, but the detection range of various instruments also stops in front of the light curtain, as if the entire forest has been artificially stripped out of this world.
From the perspective of occultism, the virtual ring is the connection between the virtual world and the real world, resulting in a huge mysterious effect. All its components are energy from the virtual world. However, the existing scientific and technological detection instruments are
It is created based on the physical constants of the real world, so naturally there is nothing you can do about the mysterious side's reaction.
It is difficult for ordinary people to see such mysterious power even on TV, let alone face it, break through it, or even destroy it.
From this perspective, the Marines who followed Yu Lian and Feifei directly into the virtual ring were indeed elite. At least they did not faint on the spot and continued to move forward. Although their pace was a bit slow and even too heavy,
But at least I didn’t completely lose the rhythm.
Of course, after entering the virtual ring, the Marines held their weapons in front of them, ready to fire at any time. Every time they took a step forward, they had to pause, as if they were looking left and right to observe secretly.
Like a minute and a half.
"Don't worry. This virtual ring is just a wall of separation from the virtual world. Whatever is inside is still the same." Yu Lian said to the soldiers.
Indeed, everyone originally thought that the inside of the virtual ring must be full of blood and demonic winds, and a group of demons were dancing wildly, just like a scene from a horror movie in which hell descends on the world, but apart from the slightly lower visibility, it really didn't have much impact.
As for the equipment everyone brought, except for losing the ability to communicate with the outside world, everything was normal.
The Marines laughed along and said that the commander was right! But they should be cautious, and they even added a step-by-step, three-turn-back process.
They probably feel that the more normal the situation, the more abnormal it is. This is almost becoming a horror movie routine.
"I am a psychic." Yu Lian added: "No one here knows more about mysticism than me. My spiritual sense has been giving us early warnings."
"Thank you for your hard work." The Marines were very moved, but their marching speed still slowed down.
Feifei next to him seemed to be about to laugh out loud. Yu Lian simply calmed down his face and said directly in a commanding tone: "Speed up the march! We must arrive at the scheduled location within an hour."
Yu Lian ignored this group of people and accelerated towards the destination. His attitude was very clear, if you don't follow, you will be left behind.
Yu Lian didn't even bother to kill two men to scare the monkeys. It was as if this squad of heavily armed marines was a completely unnecessary addition to him.
Perhaps the Marines finally felt the humiliation and decided to be brave after realizing their shame, or perhaps they were simply afraid of being left behind by their superiors, so they gritted their teeth and could only speed up and follow them.
The further they advanced, the deeper they went into the virtual ring and the Sero Forest, the morale of the marines slowly improved.
You know, Yu Lian has been using his spiritual perception all the way, and can easily avoid all possible encounters in advance. If he cannot avoid it, he will take action in advance, and use as much concealment as possible to kill the enemies in his way.
.
During the hour-long march, everyone still broke out several battles, but each time there was no danger, and even the movement was not too big. At least in the weird environment of the Serlo Forest, it was really not possible.
It's quite intense.
After killing two rock tigers, a group of twenty moa, and an activated man-eating tree, everyone passed through a valley, climbed over the mountains, and came to a hidden mountain stream.
Standing here, looking through the low shrubs surrounding the mountains, you can already see the towers and towering observatories scattered in the mountains in the distance. Those are the outer buildings of the ancient city of Thuro.
This is the first time since the war began that the troops from the Suppression Headquarters have come so close to the ancient city of Thuro.
"You are actually so familiar with this place?" The Marine squad leader looked surprised. Looking at Yu Lian at this time, he seemed to have seen some kind of spectacle.
"I'm not familiar with it. But I am a psychic and can let the spirit of the universe guide me in the direction I want to go." Yu Lian's face was expressionless, looking unfathomable.
None of the Marines present had read much, so naturally they were all filled with admiration and admiration.
Feifei looked at Yu Lian with a half-smile. Of course, as a considerate and good girl, she would not pour cold water on him.
"It would be better if you came earlier...bring more troops here so that you can launch a surprise attack on the enemy." The sergeant squad leader had a look of pity on his face.
Yu Lian shook his head and said: "It would be impossible for me to come in advance. Marching with a small force and a large force are completely different things, and the enemy's defenses are also different. You have all participated in several previous battles. Haven't you noticed that we sneaked in this time?
,Have the patrols of the rebels and cultists relaxed a lot?" : :
The Marines thought about it again and found that this was really the case.
"This means that the enemy has reached the most critical juncture in order to cause big trouble."
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that there seemed to be no logic in what he said. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Lian had already stepped behind a mountain wall, stretched out his hand and patted it gently, injecting spiritual energy into the cold stone slab.
"Kahu~" The sound of friction between rocks and machinery sounded on the mountain wall.
This sound is not the dull and time-worn roar when those ancient mechanisms that have been hidden for countless years are activated. It is not particularly loud, and the tone is fairly smooth, as if it has been regularly maintained and filled with high-quality lubricants.
.It was completely covered up by Yu Lian’s sound-blocking stance supported by his spiritual energy.
A dark passage gradually appeared among the tightly knitted mountains.
"Military secrets!" Yu Lian said to the Marines whose jaws were about to drop in shock.
Feifei was still laughing while stroking her hands, but she didn't hide her teasing when looking at Yu Lian.
The young rebel leader with a rising reputation, Colmo, was walking through the underground tunnel of the ancient city of Sero, preparing to return to the altar site. He had indeed gone to do a final defensive inspection before.
After leaving the underground altar, Kolmo carefully inspected the defense area of the ancient city of Thuro and rechecked all the defensive troops and garrison facilities.
He also told all soldiers to be vigilant, not only to guard against the Earth's army outside, but also to guard against the allies in the city.
In addition, now that all patrol teams cannot leave the city, they should be added to the defense force.
Compared with other rebel leaders who rely on inciting hatred, religious indoctrination and violent intimidation to lead their troops, Kolmo's work is much more professional. This is actually his most important source of reputation, which completely exceeds his own strength.
.
He has never hesitated to share his professional knowledge and suggestions with other rebel groups. Therefore, in the Rumina Rebel community, he has always been known as "Colmo the Public-Impressed".
When Colmo returned to the underground hall, many rebel leaders nodded silently or even greeted him. At first glance, it seemed as if they were welcoming a king.
In the underground hall with extremely low visibility, they did not see Colmo's gloomy face and full of worries.
"External communications have been completely cut off. There is no way to connect to that adult...have they arrived yet?" He covered his chest and felt a rush that he had never experienced before, which made him so nervous that he could hardly breathe.
I can't breathe anymore.
"Calm down! Colmo! Calm down! Today is the turning point in the fate of the people of Rumina!"
Yan Gong looked thoughtfully at Kolmo who had walked to the corner to hide himself again, and sighed heavily in his heart, with extremely complicated emotions.
The most powerful group among the Lumina rebels was originally the divine army of Suna Dena. This was also the only one among the Lumina rebel group that owned a battleship. Although it was only a pirate ship, it was indeed a battleship. At the same time, Su
Nadna was born into a noble family (I don't know if it's true or not), and he is a psychic of the martial arts sect. He is quite popular among the Rumina people who advocate bravery.
Ever since, he has always regarded himself as the sole leader of the Rumina rebels, and he has been bossing around the other leaders, almost saying to everyone, "I will be king after I drive away the people on Earth."
In the past ten years, Yan Gong has been living in the shadows. Although he is old, he still considers himself an old man. Life like this is really too painful.
Fortunately, because the warships were too conspicuous, the divine army was blocked by the far-shore fleet in the Earl I Star Gap and was completely wiped out. Sunardena himself also died on the earth.
Iwagong originally thought that it would be his turn to make the decision for the Rumina rebels after Sunadna. But unexpectedly, another Kolmo came.
Unlike Denasuna, who had no brute force but was full of religious fanaticism, this young man was equally powerful, but thoughtful, quick-thinking, magnanimous, and he was also a new-schooler who had received higher education in the empire. Short
In just a few years, his status in the rebel army has skyrocketed, and he is about to be ranked ahead of him this time.
...It is really painful to be an old man with dreams!
Yan Gong, who was still young but still ambitious, adjusted his breathing and returned his attention to the magic circle in operation. He admitted that he was indeed jealous of this young man. He also admitted that in the future, he would
He still has no mature rules for how to deal with the relationship with this young man.
But no matter what, this is the last thing that needs to be resolved.
All Souls Cult Master Flores Wanda seemed to have never seen the reactions of the people of Rumina. He was still stroking the mirror with one hand and paying full attention to the operation of the magic circle.
As a cult leader who pursues freedom, Leader Wanda actually feels aggrieved. Originally, his cult followed the upper-level route and already had considerable influence. If everything went well, it would one day become the leader of a big country like the Community.
It’s not a bad idea to be the one in charge behind the scenes.
When that time comes, my status in the organization will definitely be comparable to that of the Thirteen Faces.
Li Lingzhi is stunned! Why are you causing trouble on Earth for the sake of the large Plaka-shaped super magic circle? Is it really just for the legacy of Count Salvin? Is it really just to prove yourself in front of the big bosses of the organization?
?
Is all of this more important than the foundation he has built over decades?
Flores Wanda sighed silently. At this time, did he have any other choice?
Fortunately, at least for now, the magic circle is running very smoothly.
As long as it can succeed, as long as it can come, everything will be back on track. Leader Wanda thought.
At this time, a familiar step came to his side.
This is his most capable assistant, the young bishop Nao Wen. He is the youngest among the All Souls Church bishops. He is less than thirty years old this year, but he is the one with the highest academic qualifications, having a doctorate from the Alliance.
.
"Leader, from now on, all our communication equipment has failed."
Leader Wanda nodded noncommittally.
Naowen added: "In addition... because the magic circle is in operation, the animals in the forest are in a state of rage. Even Lumina Warrior, you can't control your mount, and the patrols on the outside have stopped. This
At that time, if the enemy sends troops to enter, we will not be able to detect it."
"Similarly, those violent beasts can also become our natural barrier, can't they?" Leader Wanda said.
Naowen nodded, then shook his head, and then used subtle psychic manipulation to gather his voice and send it directly to the leader's ears: "...I have prepared a shelter for you."
This is the most secretive way of conversation that Bishop Nauwin can use. Methods such as psychic linking and chanting are too advanced for him to use. More importantly, doesn't it seem too gay for two gentlemen to have a telepathic connection?
"Taking refuge? At this time? When victory is imminent?" Leader Wanda seemed to have diverted his attention from the mirror in his hand and the magic circle opposite, and glanced at Nao Wen.
"After an auspicious time, it will return to this world. Everything here will be overturned. Just wait and see, my friend." the leader said.
Naowen advised again: "...However, we cannot completely expect that everything will go smoothly, let alone expect our people to do nothing, let alone our allies. Even, we cannot expect this magic circle, these
The sacrificial weapon can really exert the effect described in the notes. Therefore, a retreat must be prepared."
The young man's words were a bit harsh, especially for Leader Wanda, who had lost the business he had been operating for twenty years and had to put himself here.
The leader looked at the unyielding assistant and said expressionlessly: "Are you already here and ready?"
"Yes, I have been preparing since we first arrived in the ancient city of Sero." Naowen said.
What a reliable person! The leader squeezed out the moved emotion in his eyes, and confirmed that the other party had seen his move, and then said: "...I will go there at the right time."
Naowen nodded, and seemed to have thought of something, and said: "In addition..."
"I understand." Leader Wanda interrupted the other party.
Wanda didn't say what he understood, but Nao Wen didn't ask any more questions. He just lowered his head and backed away slowly until he retracted into the shadow.
At this time, the light that enveloped the entire altar and formed the giant magic circle became brighter in an instant.
Behind the halo, a huge figure seemed to flash out, slowly emerging from the white light.
