In the all-out counterattack launched by the Alliance Army on the wasteland, the northern front maintained by the main force of the Cecil Empire may be regarded as the most distinctive place on this vast battlefield - the distinctive style here is not because of The Cecil people's mechanized legions fought and the endless new weapons emerged, but because throughout the war, there was always a lush "forest" advancing with the imperial soldiers
The "remote derivative" of Thorin's giant tree - this living forest starts from the southern foot of the Dark Mountain, spreads both on the surface and underground, and extends into the wasteland with a gentle but unswerving attitude. Now it has Together with the main force of the empire, they advanced to the highlands south of the magic scorch marks. Wherever the living forest went, even the corrupted and polluted wasteland began to gradually show a "vital" state.
At least on the surface, the lush forest scene is much more refreshing than the desolate and terrifying wasteland. As for the less "beautiful" parts buried deep in the forest the imperial soldiers said that they have seen too much. I'm used to it
The night gradually fell, and the scorching battlefield had cooled down. The cannons and engines that had roared all day died down at dusk, while the soldiers had built temporary defenses on the edge of the living forest and began to prepare for tomorrow's action. Charge up. As Philip walked in the newly built camp, the distant voices of soldiers' commands and the buzz of dragoon fighter planes in the sky were the sounds he was most familiar with these days.
He looked beyond the energy barrier in the southern part of the camp and saw the vast and barren land extending all the way to the horizon. The dirty land was devastated, with scars swept by cannonballs and flames everywhere, and the gray-black ashes and ashes of the aberrations. The torn remains of the biochemical behemoths were scattered among the shell craters, and smoke and dust were still rising from the craters that emitted residual heat, like a veil under the dim and feeble sunset.
And when he turned his sight to the other side of the camp, he saw a large expanse of lush forest, with countless unnamed towering trees filling his field of vision. The roots of the giant trees penetrated deeply in a powerful gesture. Between the purple-black soil, there are dense bushes and various low flowers and plants growing at the foot of the giant trees - if they didn't know the truth, I'm afraid anyone would think that this is an ordinary and vibrant area. Just a lush forest.
When they only focus on the forest, no one can imagine that beyond the boundaries of the forest is the wasteland of Gondor, which is a restricted area for life.
Even Philip himself would always feel a sense of absurd confusion when he saw the living forest advancing with the legions, as if he felt that this wasteland had been healed, and those who were only a short distance away from the forest were Those pollutions have lost a sense of reality out of thin air.
But he knew that the "vitality" created by this living forest was only a temporary illusion. The pollution in this wasteland was still spreading. Even under the most luxuriant plants in the forest, there was constant pollution. "Fighting" - Bertila's life force is fighting against the toxins in the wasteland, and her roots are fighting against the root network of those dark priests. This confrontation is endless, and only the purification that is constantly built on the march is Devices can truly solve the spread of pollution.
Footsteps came from the side, and Philip heard Wright's voice ringing in his ears: "It looks incrediblea world full of life is moving forward with us. To be honest, when I first learned that the Thorin Giant Tree was involved in the battlefield, I never thought the situation could develop like this.¡±
Philip nodded slightly to the leader of the Holy Light Church, and then said with emotion in his tone: "Did you know? The black forest at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains completely disappeared yesterday afternoon."
Wright looked a little surprised, but before he asked, Philip took the initiative and said: "In order to supplement more biomass and reduce the production pressure of the biomass synthesis factories along the line, Ms. Bertila has been competing with the black forest for nutrients. , Facts have proved The savagely growing black forest failed to overwhelm Ms. Bertila, who was rich in tactics. The terrifying forest that blocked the territory of civilization for seven hundred years ended up being 'starved to death' alive What we are seeing now Some of the biomass of these trees that we arrived may have been stripped from the remains of the black forest."
Even the usually mature and steady Wright was at a loss what to say at this time - in the old Ansu era, the black forest at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains was already a well-known "desperate situation" in the northern country. The terrifying legacy of "The Tide" and proof of the decline of human civilization. The Black Forest plays the same role as the dragon's lair, dark dungeon, and wizard's castle in the mouths of countless bards and adventurers. Parents will use it to scare disobedient children. Children, reckless mercenaries and explorers will brag about their bravery and insight with boasted "black forest adventure stories".?The building consists of a cylindrical main body with a curved dome and several small ancillary buildings. It stands under the increasingly dim sunset. The dim skylight has coated the surface of its main structure with a layer of rust-like texture. , hundreds of years of erosion and continuous accumulation of wind and sand have given the entire building complex a gray-black color that is almost the same as the surrounding land, and buried part of it in the dust - this also caused the dragoons who were conducting reconnaissance in the air to The pilot could not distinguish it from the jagged boulders piled around it.
But these mottled traces of weathering only affect the appearance of this building - most of its structures are still standing intact on this land. From the towering main exterior wall and the simple and elegant roof of the building, Philip still You can vaguely see the glorious appearance of this thing - as a certain technological crystallization of the ancient Gondor Empire, it has a desolate and mysterious atmosphere lingering around it.
"When we found it, the magic induction device began to show a weak and intermittent fluctuation," the soldier who first discovered the facility came to Philip and said after saluting, while taking out the induction device he carried with him. The device, this small machine with a magic detection rune array and a small focusing crystal, is projecting a light curtain that constantly changes in light and dark, but the lines in the light screen are blurry. "There may be something still deep in the facility." Run - we found an entrance on the side of it but didn't rush in."
"That's right. All suspicious facilities found in the wasteland should be handled by experts on site." Philip nodded and looked back at the several technicians who came with him. They are in the fields of archeology and classical magic. Experts with certain achievements. For those strange gadgets found in the wasteland, these experts are obviously more professional than ordinary soldiers - and more professional than him as a general. "What do you think? This facility what it may be used for." use?"
"The specific function of the facility needs further search to determine," said a middle-aged man with gray hair. His eyes would fall on the buildings not far away from time to time. The flickering light in his eyes showed that the scholar He was slightly excited at the moment, "But judging from the structure that can be seen so far, this facility should not be used for military or civilian purposes - the military facilities of the Gondor Empire usually have huge energy spark towers. Even if the tower is destroyed, It will also leave traces of large-scale foundations, and civilian facilities will not be set up in such wilderness far away from urban agglomerations The energy reaction inside the facility is particularly eye-catching. After all, theoretically all facilities in the Gondor era are It relies on the Deep Blue Energy Network to provide magic power, but we all know that this network has collapsed long ago"
The middle-aged scholar kept talking with an excited expression, but soon he realized that his general might not want to hear such a long list of theoretical knowledge at this time, so he immediately restrained the urge to continue: "In short , we need to investigate deeply - this is the first thing we have found in the wasteland that is so completely preserved, and it even has energy reactions in it!"
Philip looked back at the soldiers behind him - these soldiers were well-trained, well-equipped, and had experienced all the harsh battlefield tests, but even with these soldiers by his side, he had to remain completely cautious.
That is an ancient facility from the age of Gondor - no one can tell what kind of dangers are hidden in such ancient ruins, the magic traps left by the ancients? An energy conduit leaking out of control? Or simply a crazy Iron Man soldier?
It¡¯s all possible.
In this wasteland filled with death, completely destroyed ruins are very dangerous, but those that are still "alive"are often even more dangerous.
"Sarah, take your team in and check out the situation," Philip reminded the soldiers who were about to enter the facility as the leading team. "Everyone should be vigilant, don't move things that shouldn't be moved, keep communications open, and come back at any time. Pass the picture - after entering the facility, don't go deep in hastily, wait for the advice of the technical experts at the rear, and if you encounter sudden danger, you can immediately abandon the mission and retreat."
"Yes, General!"
The young soldier named Sarah immediately saluted, and then led a small group of soldiers towards the facility.
Phillip, who stayed next to the command vehicle, signaled the accompanying technical sergeant to open the magic network terminal, and the scene seen by Sarah's team was displayed on the holographic projection above the terminal.
